And more importantly, they learn Tennon drove a blue Ford truck that matched the truck scene on security footage near the crime scene around the time of the murder.

But the real clincher, according to prosecutors, was a money trail tying Henry Tennon to Shannon Gardner's new husband, Mario Fernandez.

Prosecutors say Shanna had shown deep hostility towards Jared even years before the murder.

As can be seen in text messages she exchanged with one of her friends, Kim Jensen, all the way back in 2015.

The friends appear to be speaking in code, looking for a magician to make someone disappear.

And they use stupid as a nickname for Jared.

And they even talked about funeral potatoes.

And Shanna directly said, I want him gone.

Hold on a second.

Funeral potato?

What's that?

That seems to be an inside joke, you know, alluding to this idea that when someone dies, it would be common to bring food like a casserole to the grieving family.

Well, I think the motive is being argued or will be argued in sort of two parts, which is first, despite a divorce settlement and custody agreement, Shanna and Jared still seem to bicker constantly over the care of the twins.

So there was a lot of acrimony there.

And Shanna's parents are very, very wealthy, and they had established a trust for her.

The view from Shanna's family, it appears, was that Jared was after that money.

So there was language in the trust that Shanna could not control it until she had no further entanglements with Jared.

So money and rage, sort of pretty common motives for murder.

Police asked Shanna's friend, Kim Jensen, that question in an interview shortly after Tennant's arrest.

Prosecutors just released video of that interview, so we can take a listen to what she had to say.
