9-1-1, what's your emergency? It's not an emergency, but I need a sheriff to come out here to Summit Park Range.
This is Tammy Gilden in Anacortes, Washington. She called 911 sometime before 1150, the morning of October 28, 2009, when she and her mother noticed a man trespassing behind the Grange Hall. It's an event facility about half a mile from Mark Stover's house.
Tammy noticed that the guy was at the back of the property, where no one should be parked.
One of those two vehicles was a white station wagon. The other was a black SUV.
What Tammy saw was both odd and disturbing. Whatever the object being transferred was, Tammy remembered it was large and covered in plastic.
As they sat in their car at the front of the property, Tammy and her mom waited for a deputy to arrive. Tammy said the stranger got into the black SUV, leaving the station wagon behind.
He drove right up next to their car before stepping on the gas and speeding away.
Tammy called the sheriff again.
They gave the dispatcher the license plate number and a description of the trespasser's car.
He was driving toward downtown Anacortes. Minutes later, Skagit County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Duhame arrived and checked out the station wagon and then went looking for the black SUV. It didn't take long.
The deputy went up to the car window.
Deputy Duhaime asked the man, who was hiding his eyes, for an ID.
The deputy explained that he pulled the driver over for trespassing.
During the conversation, the deputy noticed that the driver had some dog hair on his clothing. And he noticed a big bundle of blankets in the back of the SUV. He didn't think much of it. This just so happened to be the same morning that Mark Stover's employees reported seeing their boss tear out of his driveway in his white Chevy station wagon. And this traffic stop was just a few hours later.
no one yet knew Mark was missing. The deputy took the driver's ID.
And the bundle of blankets in the back? Only later would he learn that was Mark's dead body. The whole case took off. I'm Peter Van Sant. From 48 Hours, this is Trained to Kill. The dog trainer, the heiress, and the bodyguard. Episode 4, The Bundle in the Back.
After the sheriff's deputy let Michael Oakes drive away with just a warning, Michael made a phone call, but not to his girlfriend, Linda Updike.
It was to his ex-wife, Jennifer Thompson. She lived in Everett, Washington, about an hour south of Anacortes. We spoke in 2010.
Although they had been separated for about a year, Michael and Jennifer started talking again. She had emailed him just a few weeks earlier.
Before she started something new, Jennifer wanted to know if her marriage to Michael was really over.
