People talk about a smoking gun, but in this case, it turned out to be a smoking cigarette.
After 14 long years of waiting, Merriam had his man, or did he?
It was scary in that for so many years we didn't know who we were looking for.
Now, with the suspected killer Howard Godfrey identified, linked to the crime by DNA, Detective Bruce Merriam couldn't wait to confront him.
Detective Merriam wore a hidden wire during his first interview with Godfrey, hoping he would say something incriminating.
He said he never knew her, never dated her, never had sex with her.
So when he says, I never had sex with her, what does that tell you?
But when police told him they had his DNA at the crime scene, his story suddenly changed.
Godfrey is arraigned and charged with killing Patty Scoville.
