Was there already a fire pit? Okay, so is it, is it like bricks or is it just an area? Just a little makeshift one with like garden bricks and stuff. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you put her in that? Okay, so it had already been dug out. Okay, you put

It's everything at the same time. It's relief. It's joy. It's anger. I don't know if he's telling me the truth. I got to get a team out there and a dive team out there to go find her.

So the dive team went out and they found her, or they found what they believed to be her. We got missing persons, some of our team, and also the dive team out. And they conducted a search exactly where he told us. And they located a person, or it appeared to be, because she was wrapped up in not only the comforter, the plastic, the blanket, and duct tape.

It appeared to be later on identified as Savannah at the medical examiner's office.

Then we also began the search on the vehicle. Canine alerts to decomp in the trunk of his car where he admitted to putting her. We found soil matching and soot that matched his residence. One of Savannah's shoes, blood in the backseat on paperwork that DNA tested, which was Savannah's as well.

A lot of people think, okay, well, you got your confession. That's the end of it. Well, that's certainly not the end of it. The majority of the investigation is really post-arrest if you're going to be good at the job. In homicide, we say about that part of your job is to solve it, but the bigger part is to resolve it. So I needed to set into motion things that were sustainable for trial.

There's still a reservation that this isn't my fault or I'm not completely culpable. And so I think he tries to give a... a quote, self-defense claim. And, you know, and the courts looked at that and the judge said, that's not accurate.

After he kills Savannah, he takes her home and throws her in the fire pit in his backyard. And Kelsey, this new girl, comes over that night and they have pizza and they watch movies while Savannah's body is just sitting in the backyard.

I believe that he was jealous. He wanted to be with Savannah. They had an off again, on again relationship. Eventually, she was done with him and knew what kind of person he was. And he got angry and he has an angry streak. And so in that car, he went to go confront her. He had no business being there. He wasn't at work that day.

I mean, he certainly can go in the parking lot if he wants to, but he confronted her. She was not afraid of him.
