One morning in the summer of 2024, Eugene Gligor was sitting on his stoop in northwest Washington, D.C.
Gligor was 45, with wavy brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard.
He wore glasses and a polo shirt with the logo of the company he worked for stitched above the heart.
Gligor lived on a charming street lined with pre-war buildings and a red brick sidewalk.
Just down the block was the main drag, a trendy stretch dotted with brunch spots and a Trader Joe's.
It was in this picturesque setting that Gligor was abruptly arrested.
Gligor was surrounded by five plainclothes officers who handcuffed him and led him to a car.
Five officers arresting one man would have been an unusual sight on this street.
Not only was Gligor embarrassed, he also said he was in pain from the handcuffs.
In the body camera footage, the officers don't tell Gligor what he's being arrested for, but he'd find out later that day.
Gligor was about to come face to face with the cold case detectives who spent years trying to find Leslie Preer's killer.
Now that Gligor was in custody, the detectives would confront him with what their investigation had uncovered.
And as you'll hear, Eugene Gligor didn't take it well.
From ABC Audio in 2020, I'm Stephanie Ramos.
After Eugene Gligor was arrested, he was taken into an interrogation room.
