For starters, Maria was a very organized and clean person. I say that because my wife is a clean freak and she reminded me of my wife in the sense that it was everything was so organized, very clean home.
Joel's first statement was that he was in the shower. and when all this happened. So what happens when you take a shower? For example, what are you going to notice in the restroom? Condensation, steam, mirrors sometimes smeared for whatever reason with water, a soaked towel, a damp towel, the smell of soap, the smell of shampoo. That restroom was dry. Absolutely dry.
Looked like it hadn't been used and it looked like it had been cleaned at 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and hadn't been moved since. There was no restroom that had any evidence of a shower being used.
He had already told me he arrived in scrubs, which is understandable. He's a CRNA. He just got out of work. I go, if you just took a shower, why did you change back into scrubs if it's your home? And he thought about it and he said, well, it's because I'm not supposed to be here. And I said, well, this is your house. What do you mean you're not supposed to be here?
He goes, oh, it's because I have a girlfriend somewhere else and she doesn't know that I'm back visiting my wife. My wife and I were separated.
So at that time, while he gave us the consent, we went to go interview him at the station so that we can get just some background information about his spouse, which is very routine.
I start off my interview with just the backstory of both of their relationship. And then I got the information as far as why they were separated. And he confessed to me that he had fallen in love with a co-worker of his. And she had found out about the affair back in April. And they had agreed to separate until he, quote, decided what he was going to do.
I asked him for the events that transpired that day that led up to the death. And that is when I realized that he could not account for his time period. The most simplest questions of them all, such as what time did you arrive? Well, I don't know. Okay. What did you do when you got there? Oh, I can't remember. I don't know. I go, did you shower?
According to Joel, the couple had made up and had actually slept together before he supposedly took a shower and then discovered her unconscious body in their bed. And I asked, well, why, if she was on the bed, did she end up in the loft? And he thought about it and he's like, I needed a flat surface. Okay, well, why wasn't the carpet or the floor on your bedroom used?
Oh, I wanted to give the paramedics easier access so they can go straight up.
I asked him, did you work? And he said, yeah, he worked. I go, what time did you get out? I don't know. Well, more or less, I think at four or five. Okay, where'd you go afterwards? I don't know. I don't know. Why are you asking me this? Like, my wife just died. And so he started becoming evasive and defensive.
While I'm there interviewing Joel, I find out that there was a suspicious needle prick mark on Maria's elbow crease. One mark. One. Not indicative of someone that uses repeatedly. It looked like it was fresh. It looked like somebody had just drawn blood from her. That was suspicious. And we found out that the hair medics that responded did not start an IV.
So what in the hell is that mark doing there? Why is it fresh?
About an hour into the interview is when I find, you know, I confirm, and I ask him about the needle pricking in her elbow crease. Joel, why is that there? I don't know. I asked him point blank that night. Joel... Did you inject your wife with anesthesia? What? No, I love her. I love her.
At no point did he say, I need to go back to my children. They're without their mom. No. You know what his primary reason that wanting to leave was? He needed to go get to Janet. I need to go to Janet's house. Can you drop me off at Janet's house? Keep in mind their sons just lost their mom. But that was not his focus or his concern. His concern was to get back to his mistress.
He begged the officer to drop him off at Janet's, but the officer didn't. The officer took him back to his house. And while he's over there, I'm at Janet's house. So he was trying to beat me to Janet's.
So I arrived at Janet's at 6 in the morning. I ring the doorbell. She has a poodle or some type of schnauzer dog that was barking away, and she never answered the door. Apparently, she called the police on me, saying that there was a man outside ringing the doorbell repeatedly.
And when the dispatcher told her, it's one of our detectives that's out there wanting to speak to you, it still took her roughly 10 minutes to come down. And then she came down and she agreed to be interviewed at the station. Initially, yes, she seemed adamant of wanting to know why, what's going on. And I go, well, we'll tell you at the station. She kept asking, what's it about?
And I go, we'll tell you at the station.
She initially was reluctant to say that she had a boyfriend. She finally incorporated that she had a boyfriend, Joel, and she was initially under the belief that he had gone to work.
