And off we go.

This wasn't a human being that I saw.

There's something here in this house.

Something out of this world.

Every injury will tell you a story if you take the time to analyze it.

What I've spent 40 years doing is analyzing injuries, reconstructing how injuries occur.

There was a braided nylon marine rope three feet from Joanna.

The murder weapon was there in the room with Joanna.

When you look at the photos of the mark that was created on her neck, the only thing in that closet that could have created that was the marine rope.

I could not talk to the family.

I could only talk to the lieutenant at Solano County regarding my findings.

We're going to apply the rope and see what type of imprint it creates.

You'll notice along the edge that there is a distinct fabric imprint, which is the type of fabric imprint we saw on Joanna's neck.

She was dead when the bathrobe sash was applied to her neck.

Joanna's scene was staged.

She was killed with a rope, and then to make it look like a suicide, she was hung up by the bathrobe sash after she was already dead.

Domestic violence homicides are the number one staged murders in America.

But if you kill your wife or you kill your girlfriend, everybody's going to be looking at you as a suspect.
