Once we found out about it, they started talking to his friends about it. They were like, well, yeah, he told me that he thinks he's in love with her. Not just a one night fling thing. I mean, this was a rather developed relationship that they had going on.

One of the things that stood out there was that he had a, I think it was a $2 million life insurance policy on her. And it was a policy that was double indemnity. So with something like this, there would have been $4 million available.

A friend of Michelle's, who was an attorney, I think she had kind of set this whole thing up. And the whole time what she was doing, she said she was telling Michelle and telling him, this is really excessive. You don't need this much money at your age, etc. With half this, you're going to have enough money to pay off the house and all these things if something was to happen to her.

But this is like an excessive amount of money.

Like I said, they were big, big defenders of his. They did not believe he was involved in any way, shape, or form. And then as they started laying out some of the facts, et cetera, they were devastated.

If I can be completely honest, we so often talk about the public having the CSI effect. And I think law enforcement officers and investigators at times are kind of guilty of the same thing. We're thinking that, you know, oh, we're going to get a report back any day that's going to be the slam dunk and he did it and that's it. And, you know, it's not always the case.

Sometimes it's just a lot more involved in that. Even when you have good crime scene evidence, you need more than that a lot of times to go along with it.

But they had a very tight wire they had to walk because he had custody of the daughter. I think one time it was even suggested that if they wanted to keep seeing her, that they needed to make a public statement in support of him.

There was an indictment handed down and we had people already on the way from our SWAT team who were headed up that way. But he ended up getting in a car and going somewhere and just to be safe, they went ahead and arrested him in the vehicle and then transferred him over to our custody in Black Mountain and brought him down.

He sat in jail maybe almost a year, I think, before we actually went to trial. It was actually quite a while. So we were still monitoring phone calls and things like that that were coming from the jail. And he just never talked about the case.
