I saw Michael Blagg lying in the tub with blood. I tried to slip my wrist. He had a picture of Jennifer and Abby. He had a Bible and it was open. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital.

200 volunteers working for 11 days searching 45 miles around the Blagg residence.

He shoots his wife. my belief is that he went upstairs and suffocated his daughter put them both in the van and went to amatek dixon and put both of them in the trash receptacle there one person could do that and not leave any blood through the house no drag marks you know no nothing like that committed motivated person could do that.

One that has thought about this in a cold, calculated, lean manufacturing type of way. Yeah.

There are people that I know that were out there when it was 104 degrees, When every bag it seemed like you were opening up was a dead deer or elk carcass. And that sight, that smell, would cause you to retch and just want to drop you to your knees.

The odds of that happening like that have to be astronomical. If you're a person of faith, you start saying it was meant to be that way.

The bottom line is that Michael Blagg is going to have a long, hard life, and then he's going to have to face God. And Jennifer and Abby Blagg will be sitting on God's lap that day, and that's when justice will be served.

I'm not sure anybody knows Michael Blagg. I mean, not who he really is.

How did this quantity of blood get here, and yet you don't have any sign of a normal attack situation?

You're struck by the fact that there was all sorts of other things there that someone that is in there purely for monetary gain would have taken with them. So I'm saying, you know, this crime scene doesn't look right. It looks like it's staged.

But I saw a lot of blood, a lot of blood. That first interview, we very much looked at Michael Blagg as the victim of a violent crime.

In fact, I'd said to him, if my wife and my child were missing, I would probably be at St. Mary's Hospital being medicated at this point because of the fact that it's so stressful.

He needed information about the case, and I needed information about him and his life and his family.

I was pushing him on that. It's like, boy, you paint a really nice picture. That just sounds too good was when he started saying, well, let me tell you about, you know, the darker side. Let me tell you about the embarrassing side.

In the back of my mind, I'm thinking, OK, that just doesn't play right.
