>>> ANDREEN McDONALD HAD A VERY,
VERY STRICT REGIMEN.
SHE FOLLOWED IT DAILY.
>> NICE!
DROP IT.
THAT A GIRL!
>> SHE WOULD BE AT THE GYM AT
5:30 IN THE MORNING, IN THE
OFFICE BY 8:00.
ON MARCH 1st, THEY HAD NO
INDICATION SHE WOULD BE LATE.
SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK.
THIS WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO HER
EMPLOYEES.
THEY CALLED THE GYM AND FOUND
OUT SHE NEVER SHOWED UP TO THE
GYM, WHICH IS LIKE A RELIGION TO
HER.
>> AFTER CALLING ANDREEN
REPEATEDLY, IT'S GOING TO VOICE
MAIL.
YOU KNOW, THE ANXIETY STARTS
SETTING IN.
I START PANICKING.
FOR ANDREEN TO BE MISSING IS NOT
POSSIBLE.
>> THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR ME WERE
THE FACT THAT HER PHONE WAS
MISSING, HER PURSE WAS STILL
THERE, HER KEYS WERE ON THE
COUNTER AND HER VEHICLES WERE
STILL THERE.
>> HER VEHICLE IS THERE, HER
PURSE IS THERE, HER KEYS ARE
THERE.
IF SHE'S MISSING, IS THERE A
CONCERN OF AN ABDUCTION?
>> WELL, THE DEPUTIES OBVIOUSLY
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK AT
THIS POINT.
THEY WERE JUST BEGINNING THE
INVESTIGATION.
WHAT WE DID LEARN IS ANDREEN
McDONALD, A BEAUTIFUL JAMAICAN
WOMAN WAS BROUGHT TO THE UNITED
STATES BY ANDRE, HER HUSBAND.
HE'S A MAJOR IN THE AIR FORCE
AND HAD TOP SECRET SECURITY
CLEARANCE.
THEY BEGAN AN ASSISTED LIVING
BUSINESS WHERE THEY, IN SHORT
ORDER BECAME MILLIONAIRES.
A PICTURE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.
>> SHE'S NOT BOASTFUL OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SHE'S JUST THAT HUMBLE PERSON.
>> ANDREEN HAD A GREAT
REPUTATION IN NOT ONLY THE
ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY HERE
IN SAN ANTONIO.
>> AND WE'RE ON THE SIDE OF THE
STREET THIS MORNING AND WE'RE
GIVING OUT FOOD FOR THOSE LESS
FORT MATT.
>> SHE WAS VERY, VERY GENEROUS
WITH HER WEALTH AND HER TIME.
KIND OF A RISING STAR OF SAN
ANTONIO.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
VERY MUCH SO A RISING STAR.
>> THEY WERE ALWAYS LAUGHING
TOGETHER.
THEY WERE ALWAYS JOKING AROUND.
>> THE HOME DIDN'T SEEM TO BE IN
TERRIBLE DISARRAY.
NO FURNITURE WAS KNOCKED OVER OR
ANYTHING WAS BROKEN.
I FOUND THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE
WALL IN AN AREA THAT WAS KIND OF
ODD.
THERE WAS BLOOD AND HAIR ON A
LIGHT SWITCH.
I ASSUMED THAT SOMETHING
HAPPENED THERE.
IT WAS A CRIME SCENE OF SOME
SORT.
>> I WAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND I
SAW THAT INITIAL POSTER THAT
CAME OUT WITH HER FACE AND THEN
IT SAYS MISSING ON THE TOP.
ANDREEN IS NOT THE TYPE OF
PERSON TO TAKE OFF AND GO
SOMEWHERE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHERE
SHE IS.
WHEN THE MONTHS WENT BY AND THE
DAYS WENT BY AND THEY HAVEN'T
FOUND ANYTHING, IN MY MIND, IT'S
NOT SUCH A BAD THING BECAUSE IF
THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND
SOMETHING THAT SOLIDIFIES HER
BEING DEAD, I MEAN, SHE'S ALIVE,
RIGHT, AND SHE'S SOMEWHERE.

>>> IN THE AFTERNOON OF MARCH
1st, 2019, AFTER 29-YEAR-OLD
ANDREEN McDONALD WAS REPORTED
MISSING BY HER MOTHER MAUREEN, A
SHERIFFS DEPUTY ARRIVED AT THE
McDONALD HOME IN AN UPSCALE,
GATED COMMUNITY IN SAN ANTONIO.
WITHIN MINUTES, THE SHERIFF SAYS
HIS DEPUTY MADE A DISTURBING
DISCOVERY.
>> ONE OF MY DEPUTIES HAD SEEN
WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE BLOOD
ON THE WALL AND POSSIBLY HAIR.
>> AND IN THE BACKYARD, NORMALLY
BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED, ANOTHER
TROUBLING CLUE.
A RANDOM BURN PILE.
>> RIGHT HERE I SAW THE BURN
PILE.
WE FOUND A ZIPPER FROM ANDREEN'S
BLOUSE.
>> IT WAS ANDREEN'S BLOUSE?
>> UH-HUH.
>> ANDREEN'S HOUSE ANDRE "ANDY"
McDONALD TOLD THE DEPUTY THAT
WHEN HE WOKE UP, HE GOT THEIR
DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL BEFORE
REPORTING TO THE AIR FORCE BASE
WHERE HE SERVED AS A CYBER
WARFARE ANALYSTMENT ONCE HE
LEARNED ANDREEN WAS MISSING,
ANDRE WENT BACK HOME.
BUT HE QUICKLY HEADED OUT THE
DOOR AGAIN TO ACT ON A HUNCH
THAT ANDREEN WHO SUFFERED FROM
MIGRAINES MIGHT HAVE GONE TO A
NEARBY HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT.
ANDRE'S ARRIVAL TO THE HOSPITAL
WAS CAPTURED BY SURVEILLANCE
TAPES.
>> ON THAT TAPE, HE COMES IN.
YOU CAN SEE HIM ASKING FOR
McDONALD.
AND THEY TELL HIM THERE IS
SOMEBODY IN ROOM 3 NAMED
McDONALD.
>> HE ARRIVES BACK TO THE HOUSE.
WHAT DOES HE TELL THEM?
>> HE TELLS THEM THAT SHE'S IN
THE HOSPITAL.
>> WHEN THE DEPUTY CALLED THE
HOSPITAL, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE
McDONALD THAT CHECKED IN WAS NOT
ANDREEN McDONALD.
>> ANDRE TOLD DEPUTIES HE RUSHED
BACK HOME BEFORE SEEING HIS WIFE
BECAUSE HE HAD LEFT HIS CELL
PHONE AT HOME AND WANTED TO LET
MAUREEN KNOW HE HAD FOUND
ANDREEN.
>> THERE WAS SOME INDICATION TO
HIM SHE WAS THERE AND INJURED TO
SOME EXTENT.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, THE MAJOR'S
HUNCH TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG.
>> WHEN I HEARD, I WAS -- OH,
GOD.
I WAS SO UPSET.
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT SHE'S
SOMEPLACE THAT WE CAN'T FIND
HER.
>> AND FOR ANDREEN'S
MOTHER-IN-LAW WHO LIVED IN
FLORIDA, THERE WAS UNCERTAINTY.
>> I HAVE CALLED ANDREEN'S PHONE
ABOUT A THOUSAND TIMES ALREADY
SAYING, ANDREEN, WHATEVER IT IS,
PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST CALL ME
BACK.
>> WHAT CONCERNED EVERYONE WAS
THE FACT ANDREEN WOULD NEVER
JUST DISAPPEAR.
SHE WAS KNOWN FOR HER SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY AND DEDICATION TO
HER FAMILY AND BUSINESS.
>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
ANDREEN?
>> SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS, AND
SHE WOULD NEVER STOP UNTIL SHE
GET IT.
>> I DID COME IN BEFORE HE DID.
>> RIGHT.
ANDREEN DID DEFEAT ME, AND SHE
IS SO EXCITED.
>> ANDREEN CREATED AN ASSISTED
LIVING BUSINESS IN SAN ANTONIO
CALLED STARLIGHT HOMES WHEN SHE
WAS JUST 22.
AND ACCORDING TO ANDRE'S CLOSE
FRIEND, ANDREW RUSSELL --
>> IN ORDER TO START THE
BUSINESS, ANDRE, HE LIQUIDATED
HIS 401(k).
>> ANDRE BANK ROLLED HER DREAMS.
>> AND HE SOLD THE BMW THAT HE
OWNED.
>> THEY WERE DOING SO WELL.
THEY WERE DOING EVERYTHING THAT
WOULD MAKE ANY MOTHER PROUD.
>> STARLIGHT HOMES THRIVED.
AND UNDER ANDREEN'S WATCH, THE
TINY HOME-BASE BUSINESS
TRANSFORMED INTO A MULTIMILLION
DOLLAR ENTERPRISE IN JUST SEVEN
YEARS.
>> WHEN I STARTED MY ASSISTED
LIVING, I ONLY STARTED WITH
THREE RESIDENCES.
TODAY WE HAVE TWO LOCATIONS IN
THE SAN ANTONIO AREA.
>> CHILDHOOD FRIEND MANDY SAYS
ANDRE'S SUCCESS WAS BORN OUT OF
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.
>> GROWING UP, WE DIDN'T HAVE A
LOT.
WE FIGURED, IF WE WANTED TO GET
SOMEWHERE IN LIFE, IT WOULD BE
IN AMERICA.
THAT'S WHAT THE DREAM WAS.
>> ANDREEN'S DREAM OF COMING TO
AMERICA CAME TRUE AT 19 WHEN SHE
MET ANDRE.
HE WAS ALSO A NATIVE OF JAMAICA
IN THE AIR FORCE.
ANDRE WENT HOME IN 2009 TO
ATTEND A FUNERAL WHEN HE MET
ANDREEN.
>> WAS THERE AN ATTRACTION IN
THE BEGINNING?
>> SHE WAS EXCITED WHEN SHE MET
HIM, EXCITED ABOUT THE CAPTAIN
IN THE AIR FORCE.
THEY BOTH DECIDE FOR HER TO COME
TO AMERICA.
>> THEY MARRIED THAT JULY.
>> I WAS HAPPY TO KNOW HE HAD
MET SOMEBODY THAT HE COULD HAVE
A LIFE WITH.
>> THAT LIFE WOULD SOON INCLUDE
A BABY GIRL ELANA.
SHE WAS AT THE CENTER OF
ANDREEN'S WORLD, WHICH MADE HER
DISAPPEARANCE SO PERPLEXING,
SAYS JACKIE.
>> I DON'T THINK ANDREEN WOULD
JUST GET UP AND WALK AWAY AND
LEAVE ELANA AND NOBODY WOULD
HEAR FROM HER.
>> THAT' EVENING, AEXAMINED THE
STAINS AND CONFIRMED THEY WERE
BLOOD.
>> WHILE YOU WERE GOING THROUGH
THE HOUSE, WAS ANDRE THERE?
>> YES, HE WAS.
>> DID YOU SEE ANY SIGNS OF
BRUISING ON HIS BODY, ANY SIGNS
THAT HE HAD BEEN IN A STRUGGLE?
>> NOTHING THAT WE COULD
DETERMINE.
>> INVESTIGATORS WERE HOPING
ANDRE HAD SOME ANSWERS.
BUT HE SAID THE LAST TIME HE HAD
SEEN HIS WIFE WAS THE NIGHT
BEFORE.
AND THEY SAID WHAT ANDRE
DESCRIBED RAISED MORE QUESTIONS
THAN ANSWERS.
>> HE HAD TOLD THEM HE HAD COME
HOME FROM THE TAX PREPARER'S
OFFICE AND THAT THEY HAD ARGUED
OVER THE BUSINESS AND HE WENT UP
THE ROAD, GOT SOME GAS AND JUST
COOLED OFF.
WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN VIDEO
EVIDENCE OF HIM GOING TO THE
SHELL STATION.
>> ANDRE SAID WHEN HE RETURNED
HOME, HE AND ANDREEN WENT TO
SEPARATE BEDROOMS.
BUT ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS,
WHAT ANDRE DIDN'T MENTION WAS
THE TEXT EXCHANGE THAT HAPPENED
AT THE
>>> FOR AINVESTIGATORS, THE TEXT
MESSAGES REVEALED A MARRIAGE IN
TURMOIL, INCLUDING ACCUSATIONS
OF BETRAYAL.
>> ACCUSATIONS OF UNFAITHFULNESS
IN THESE TEXT MESSAGES, CORRECT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> WE HAVE A PRINTED COPY.
WOULD YOU MIND READING THESE
FROM HIS PHONE?
>> ANDREEN RESPONDS, IF YOU
BRING HIM UP AGAIN, I WILL
DIVORCE YOU MYSELF.
>> AUBYN HALL LIVING IN JAMAICA
WHO, ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS,
WAS ANDREEN'S EX-BOYFRIEND AND
POTENTIALLY HER CURRENT LOVER.
ANDRE TEXTS, I DON'T CARE IF YOU
GET A DIVORCE.
YOU BROUGHT AUBYN INTO OUR LIFE.
AUBYN DATED ANDREEN WHEN SHE WAS
A TEENAGER.
ANDREEN'S CLOSE FRIEND MANDY
SAID THE TWO REKINDLED THEIR
ROMANCE IN 2017 DURING ONE OF
HER PHILANTHROPIC TRIPS TO THE
ISLAND.
>> AUBYN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT
FIRST LOVE.
IT WASN'T SOMETHING ANDREEN GOT
OVER EMOTIONALLY.
>> THEY CARRIED ON THEIR AFFAIR
IN SECRET UNTIL THE SUMMER OF
2018 WHEN ANDREEN GOT TWO
TATTOOS, AN INITIAL A ON HER
HAND AND A DATE TATTOOED ON HER
WRIST.
>> IT WAS SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT IT
WENT.
>> ANDRE WENT TO WORK TO SOLVE
THIS TATTOO MYSTERY.
>> HE WENT AND DID HIS OWN
DIGGING.
>> ANDRE DISCOVERED AN
INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPH OF AUBYN
BRANDED WITH THE SAME EXACT
TATTOO THAT WAS ALSO ON
ANDREEN'S HAND.
AND THOSE NUMBERS 14, 3, 76,
THEY'RE AUBYN'S BIRTHDAY, DAY,
MONTH AND YEAR.
>> SHE TOLD ME SHE SUPPOSEDLY
GOT THE TATTOO.
SHE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING STUPID
TO DO.
>> ENGAGED, ANDRE THREATENED
DIVORCE UNLESS ANDREEN CUTOFF
CONTACT WITH AUBYN, COVERED UP
HER TATTOOS AND PROMISED NEVER
TO TRAVEL TO JAMAICA WITHOUT
HIM.
>> SHE COVERED UP THE TATTOOS.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HALF OF
EVERYTHING SHE WORKED HARD FOR.
>> AT ANDREEN'S 40th BIRTHDAY
PARTY, BY ALL OUTWARD
APPEARANCES, THEY SEEMED TO BE
GETTING ALONG.
BUT 13 DAYS LATER ON MARCH 1st,
2019, THAT'S WHEN ANDREEN
DISAPPEARED.
THE ONCE FESTIVE HOME HAD
TRANSFORMED INTO A CRIME SCENE
AS INVESTIGATORS WORKED THE
McDONALD RESIDENCE UNTIL 2:00
THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THEY
COULDN'T LOCATE ANDREEN'S CELL
PHONE, INVESTIGATORS CHECKED TO
SEE IF HER CREDIT CARDS OR
PASSPORT HAD BEEN USED.
ALL DEAD ENDS.
>> WE CAME UP DRY ON ALL OF
THESE INQUIRIES.
AT THIS POINT, ALL WE HAD WAS A
MISSING PERSON.
>> WITHIN HOURS OF HIS WIFE'S
DISAPPEARANCE, ANDRE McDONALD
WAS A PERSON OF INTEREST.
HE STOPPED ANSWERING QUESTIONS
AND LAWYERED UP.
AT 2:00 P.M. THE NEXT DAY, AN
UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATOR ASSIGNED
TO WATCH THE McDONALD'S HOUSE
NOTICED THE GARAGE HAD BEEN
DAMAGED AND ANDRE WAS BACKING
OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.
THE INVESTIGATOR FOLLOWED HIM TO
A NEARBY GUN SHOP WHERE
ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATORS WHO
WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE
OBSERVED ANDRE PURCHASING A NINE
MILLIMETER HANDGUN AND
AMMUNITION.
>> WE WERE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION
THAT HE WAS PURCHASING A GUN TO
PROBABLY ARM HIMSELF.
>> WHEN ANDRE WALKED BACK TO HIS
CAR, INVESTIGATORS CONFRONTED
HIM.
THEIR VIOLENT TAKEDOWN MAY BE
DISTURBING TO VIEWERS.
INVESTIGATORS MOVED TO DETAIN
THE AIR FORCE MAJOR AND TURNED
HIM OVER TO MILITARY AUTHORITIES
FOR A MENTAL EVALUATION.
MEANWHILE, INVESTIGATORS
RETURNED TO THE HOUSE WITH A
SEARCH WARRANT AND CHECKED
ANDREEN'S CAR.
WHILE THERE, SOME OBJECTS CAUGHT
THEIR EYE.
>> IT WAS A SHOVEL.
THERE WAS AN AXE.
>> AN AXE.
THERE WAS LIKE A HATCHET.
THERE WAS TRASH BAGS.
THR
THERE WERE GLOVES AND A COUPLE
OF GAS CANS.
>> AND THERE WAS MORE.
>> INSIDE THE GARBAGE CAN IN THE
HOUSE WAS A RECEIPT FROM LOWE'S
THAT HAD BEEN TORN UP.
>> DETECTTIVES WERE ABLE TO
OBTAIN SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE FROM
THE HARDWARE STORE, ITEMS THAT
WERE PURCHASED THE DAY AFTER
ANDREEN WENT MISSING.
>> THIS IS ANDRE McDONALD COMING
INTO THE LOWE'S.
HE'S GOING TO PURCHASE SEVERAL
ITEMS.
YOU CAN SEE HIM WITH A BASKET
HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A SHOVEL IN
THE BASKET.
NOW HE COMES UP HERE, THERE IS
TWO GAS CANS.
THERE IS A HATCHET.
THERE'S THAT AXE.
>> WHAT'S AT PLAY HERE?
>> IT APPEARED TO US THAT NOW
THAT HIS WIFE IS MISSING IT
POINTED TO THE DISPOSAL OF HER
BODY.
>> LOOK AT THAT CART FULL OF
WILL ILL, RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> AND IN THE CORNER OF THE
GARAGE, INVESTIGATORS WOULD
UNCOVER WHAT THEY SAY WAS THE
MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE OF ALL.
>> WE FOUND A HAMMER AND
CLOTHING IN THE GARBAGE.
THE CLOTHING THAT WE FOUND
APPEARED TO BE ANDRE'S CLOTHING.
>> INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY FOUND
TRACES OF BLOOD ON THE POCKET OF
THESE JEANS.
>> WHAT'S ON THE CLAW HAMMER
THAT'S OF INTEREST?
>> THE LAB DETERMINED THAT THERE
WAS THE PRESENCE OF BLOOD ON THE
HAMMER, AND THE DNA THAT THEY
OBTAINED FROM THAT BLOOD SAMPLE
WAS FROM ANDREEN.
WE CONCLUDED THAT THAT HAMMER
WAS PROBABLY USED AS THE MURDER
WEAPON.
>> THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.
>> VERY SIGNIFICANT.
*
>>> 48 HOURS INTO THE
INVESTIGATION, DETECTIVE STUBBS
BELIEVED HE HAD DISCOVERED KEY
EVIDENCE THAT INDICATED MAJOR
ANDRE McDONALD IN HIS WIFE'S
DISAPPEARANCE.
THOSE ITEMS WERE STAINED WITH
ANDREEN'S BLOOD INSIDE THE
FAMILY'S TRASH CAN.
THIS MISSING PERSON'S CASE HAD
BECOME MUCH MORE SINISTER.
>> AND IT'S POINTING TOWARD
WHAT?
>> THE EVIDENCE WAS POINTING
TOWARDS A MURDER.
>> BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
NONE OF THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED
PROVED THAT A MURDER HAD
ACTUALLY OCCURRED.
>> TURNING A MISSING PERSON'S
CASE INTO A HOMICIDE CASE IS
VERY DIFFICULT.
>> ON MARCH 3rd, 2019, THE AIR
FORCE CONCLUDED ITS EVALUATION
OF ANDRE AND RELEASED IT.
CIVIL AUTHORITIES QUICKLY MOVED
IN AND PLACED HIM UNDER ARREST.
>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION?
>> BUT IT WASN'T FOR MURDER.
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR TAMPERING
WITH EVIDENCE.
BASED UPON THAT TORN RECEIPT
FOUND AT THE HOUSE LISTING THE
ITEMS HE HAD PURCHASED FROM THE
HARDWARE STORE.
ANDRE'S ARREST LEFT HIS MOTHER
JACKIE IN A STATE OF SHOCK AND
DISBELIEF.
>> I SAW THAT ANDRE WAS TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY, AND I JUST
COLLAPSED.
I KNOW HE LOVED ANDREEN.
WHY WOULD HE HARM HER?
>> AND FOR ANDREEN'S MOTHER,
ANDRE'S ARREST LEFT HER HEAD
SPINNING.
>> OH, GOD.
ANDRE WOULD NOT HURT ANDREEN,
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.
BUT WHO ELSE?
>> ADDING TO EVERYONE'S SENSE OF
SHOCK, CONFUSION AND SUSPICION
WAS ANDRE'S DECISION TO STOP
COOPERATING WITH DETECTIVES.
>> ANDRE'S FACE TOLD US THERE
WAS NO WAY IN HELL WE WERE GOING
TO BREAK HIM AND MAKE HIM TELL
US WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
>> SHERIFF SALAZAR WENT ON LOCAL
TV ASKING FOR HELP.
>> WE ARE ASKING ANYBODY WITH
ANY INFORMATION ON HER
WHEREABOUTS TO GIVE US A CALL.
>> SOON AFTER, THE COMMUNITY OF
SAN ANTONIO, ALONG WITH FAMILY
AND FRIENDS, CAME OUT IN DROVES
TO LOOK FOR ANDREEN.
INCLUDING A VOLUNTEER SEARCH
PARTY FORMED BY FORMER AIR FORCE
AIRMAN BOBBY GREEN.
BOBBY TOOK US OUT TO ONE OF THE
AREAS WHERE HE SEARCHED FOR
ANDREEN.
>> RIGHT NOW WE'RE BEHIND A
HOSPITAL.
WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE TAKEN
HER HERE TO A WOODED AREA.
AS YOU WALK-THROUGH HERE, WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
>> YOU WOULD LOOK AT TREE
BRANCHES THAT HAD BEEN CUT AWAY,
FRESH TIRE TRACKS.
>> HOW MANY MILES DID YOU COVER?
>> IT WAS HUNDREDS OF MILES.
>> AS SEARCH EFFORTS CONTINUED,
ANDRE McDONALD WAS RELEASED FROM
JAIL ON BOND.
WITH HIS WIFE ABSENT, ANDRE TOOK
OVER MANAGEMENT OF STARLIGHT
HOMES.
SEARCH EFFORTS CONTINUED.
ALTHOUGH, ANDRE DIDN'T TAKE
PART.
DAYS WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN INTO
MONTHS OF DEAD ENDS.
AS THE SEARCH FOR ANDREEN WENT
ON, INVESTIGATORS DUG FURTHER
INTO THE COUPLE'S RELATIONSHIP,
LEARNING THAT THEY HAD BUSINESS
PROBLEMS AS WELL AS ROMANTIC
ONES.
IN WHATSAPP MESSAGES SHARED WITH
FRIENDS, THERE ARE ARGUMENTS
OVER WHO REALLY WAS THE BRAINS
BEHIND THEIR SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS.
IN ONE ANDREEN TELLS ANDRE
STARLIGHT HOMES IS MY IDEA, MY
DREAM.
AND WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED
WITHOUT MY DRIVE.
BACK THEN, FRIENDS LIKE ANDREW
RUSSELL BECAME WORRIED ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR VIOLENCE.
>> AND I'VE TEXT MESSAGES FROM
ANDREEN SAYING SOMEONE IS GOING
TO SNAP.
>> ANDREW TOLD INVESTIGATORS
THAT THE COUPLE'S WAR OF WORDS
TURNED PHYSICAL THE NIGHT BEFORE
A CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THEIR HOME
IN 2018 WHERE THE McDONALD'S GOT
INTO A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION.
>> SO WHEN I WENT INTO THE
KITCHEN, ANDRE AND ANDREEN WERE
GRAPPLING ON THE FLOOR.
THE NEXT MORNING THEY WERE
LAUGHING ABOUT IT.
I DID FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER
THAT.
I THOUGHT THE SITUATION HAD
BECOME TOXIC.
>> JUST OVER TWO MONTHS LATER,
ANDREEN'S BLOOD WAS SPILLED IN
HER HOME AND SHE VANISHED.
FINALLY, ON THE EVENING OF JULY
11th, 2019, 133 DAYS AFTER
ANDREEN HAD GONE MISSING, THERE
WAS A BREAK IN THE CASE.
>> ABOUT 7:30 THIS EVENING, THE
SHERIFF OFFICE HAD A REPORT OF
HUMAN REMAINS FOUND.
>> SKELETAL REMAINS WERE FOUND
IN A FIELD SIX MILES FROM THE
McDONALD'S HOME.
THIS MAN MADE THE DISCOVERY.
HE HAD TAKEN OUT HIS TRACTOR TO
RETRIEVE A COW SKULL THAT HAD
BEEN SPOTTED RIGHT ALONG THE
TREE LINE OF THE PROPERTY.
>> I SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE A
HUMAN SKULL IN FRONT OF THE COW
SKULL.
>> THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A SHOCK.
>> A SHOCK, YES.
>> OFFICIALS DETERMINED THAT THE
HUMAN SKELETAL REMAINS BELONGED
TO ANDREEN McDONALD.
HER SISTER, ANDY JOHNSON.
>> I WAS AT A CHURCH PRAYING FOR
ANDREEN.
I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
I BROKE DOWN.
>> WE STILL WEREN'T THINKING
LIKE THAT.
>> NEVER.
I NEVER SAW THIS COMING.
>> LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER,
ANDRE McDONALD WOULD BE ARRESTED
AND CHARGED WITH HIS WIFE'S
MURDER.
>>> SEE MORE EVIDENCE
>>> ANDREEN'S FAMILY HAD WAITED
FOR JUSTICE FOR FOUR YEARS.
>> IT HURTS.
EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO MY
BED, I THINK ABOUT HER.
>> BEAR COUNTY ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS STEVEN SPEAR,
LAUREN SCOTT AND RYAN GROOMER
WOULD PROSECUTE McDONALD FOR THE
MURDER OF HIS WIFE, ANDREEN.
BUT THE PROSECUTION WOULD FACE
AN UPHILL BATTLE.
DESPITE THE EVIDENCE FOUND AT
THE McDONALD HOME, THE HAMMER
AND THE BLOOD.
THE PROSECUTION COULD NOT SAY
FOR SURE HOW ANDREEN DIED.
>> BECAUSE ANDREEN'S BODY WAS
OU IN THE ELEMENTS IN THAT
FIELD FOR ALL OF THOSE DAYS,
MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE WAS
UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHAT EXACTLY
CAUSED ANDREEN'S DEATH.
>> AND DOES THAT COMPLICATE YOUR
PREPARATION?
>> NO, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.
HE CAUSED HER DEATH.
HOWEVER, WE DON'T KNOW NOW.
>> IF ANDRE MURDERED HIS WIFE,
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE WAS HIS
MOTIVE?
>> I BELIEVE IT WAS LARGELY
BECAUSE HE FELT EMASCULATED.
I THINK HE WAS JEALOUS OF THAT.
>> McDONALD, WHO PLEADED NOT
GUILTY WAS REPRESENTED BY SOME
OF THE TOP DEFENSE LAWYERS IN
SAN ANTONIO.
JOHN, ZOE AND JOHN HUNTER.
HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THE
NOTION THAT WHAT CAUSED ALL OF
THIS WAS HIS ENVY OF HIS WIFE'S
SUCCESS?
>> I DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF
THAT.
>> ANDRE IS A MAJOR IN THE AIR
FORCE.
I MEAN, HE'S INCREDIBLY
SUCCESSFUL IN HIS OWN RIGHT.
>> MAJOR ANDRE McDONALD HAD BEEN
UNDER HOUSE ARREST SINCE APRIL
OF 2021.
BUT DAYS BEFORE HIS TRIAL WAS
SET TO BEGIN, JANUARY 17th,
2023, McDONALD, WHO HAD REMAINED
SILENT ABOUT HIS WIFE'S DEATH,
BEGAN TELLING AN EXTRAORDINARY
STORY, BEGINNING WITH HIS OWN
MOTHER.
JACKIE SAYS HER SON TOLD HER
ANDREEN'S DEATH WAS AN ACCIDENT.
>> HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE SAID,
MOM, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH.
AND HE STARTED TO CRY.
>> McDONALD THEN CALLED
ANDREEN'S MOTHER AND SISTER
CINDY, WHO PUT THE CALL ON
SPEAKERPHONE.
>> HE GAVE THE FAMILY, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, DETAILS OF WHAT
HAPPENED, ACCORDING TO HIM.
>> ACCORDING TO HIM, YES.
>> IT WAS A PHONE CALL THAT
STUNNED HIS DEFENSE TEAM.
>> WAS IT SHOCKING TO YOU THAT
HE HAD DONE THIS?
>> SHOCKING IS A GOOD WORD FOR
IT, YEAH.
THE ENTIRE CONTEXT OF THE CASE
CHANGED.
>> HIS BEST THOUGHT WOULD BE TO
TELL HIS STORY IN COURT.
>> McDONALD WOULD GET TO TELL
HIS STORY, BUT NOT BEFORE THE
PROSECUTION LAID OUT ITS CASE IN
OPENING STATEMENTS.
>> A TRASH BIN IN THE GARAGE A
HAMMER.
THAT HAMMER HAS BLOOD ON IT.
IT IS THE VICTIM'S BLOOD.
>> THE DEFENSE CONTENDED THAT
ANDREEN'S DEATH WAS AN ACCIDENT.
>> THIS IS NOT MURDER.
IT IS A CASE ABOUT THE DEGREE
AND LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
ALL OF WHICH HAPPENED IN THE
BLINK OF AN EYE.
>> THE PROSECUTION ALSO CALLED
FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST WHO
TESTIFIED THAT ANDREEN'S
SKELETAL REMAINS HAD SEVERE
INJURIES, CONSISTENT WITH BEING
STRUCK BY A BLUNT OBJECT.
SHE HAD A FRACTURED SPINAL CORD,
A BROKEN RIB AND A SPLIT JAW.
BUT THE PATHOLOGIST COULD NOT
DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY HAD
CAUSED ANDREEN'S DEATH.
>> SO THE WAY THAT I HAVE
PHRASED HER CAUSE OF DEATH IS
HOMICI
HOMICIDE VIOLENCE.
>> AFTER 33 WITNESSES, THE
PROSECUTION RESTED.
THE DEFENSE HAD ONLY ONE
WITNESS.
>> DEFENSE CALLS MAJOR ANDRE
McDONALD.
>> McDONALD DESCRIBED THE
EVENING OF FEBRUARY 8th, 2019.
WHILE AT THE TAX PREPARER'S
OFFICE WITH HIS WIFE, HE
DISCOVERED THAT ANDREEN HAD
STARTED A NEW BUSINESS A YEAR
EARLIER WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE.
>> BASICALLY THAT MEANT TO ME
PRETTY MUCH THAT SHE WAS ROBBING
ME.
>> AFTER A HEATED ARGUMENT THAT
EVENING, McDONALD SAYS HE LEFT
THE HOUSE TO COOL OFF AT THAT
GAS STATION.
THEY CONTINUED THEIR ARGUMENT
OVER TEXT.
AND WHEN HE RETURNED HOME, HE
RAISED THE POSSIBILITY OF
DIVORCE AND SPLITTING THEIR
BUSINESS IN HALF.
>> HE BECAME EXTREMELY IRATE AT
THE THOUGHT OF SPLITTING
BUSINESS.
HE CHARGED INTO THE ROOM TO
CONFRONT HIM.
SO WHEN SHE COMES INTO THE ROOM,
I TURNED AROUND, AND SHE COMES
BACK RIGHT UP IN MY FACE.
SO AT THAT POINT, SHE SPITS IN
MY FACE.
AT THAT POINT I GRABBED BECAUSE
SHE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
I GRABBED HER HEAD.
I THINK WE HAD A CLASH OF HEADS
AND I THINK IT OPENED UP A CUT
ON HER FACE.
>> ANDREEN RAN INTO THE BATHROOM
AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS.
WHEN ANDREEN SAW HER BLOODY FACE
IN THE MIRROR, McDONALD CLAIMS
SHE ATTACKED HIM.
HIS TESTIMONY MAY BE DISTURBING
TO SOME VIEWERS.
>> WHEN SHE COMES, SHE'S
THROWING SOME PUNCHES, SO I'M
TRYING TO DUCK DOWN TO KEEP MY
FACE FROM GETTING HIT WITH THE
BLOWS.
I REMEMBER GRABBING HER AND
TRIPPING HER.
I THINK I HEARD SOME TYPE OF
NOISE.
AND THEN ALSO IN THE BACKGROUND
I COULD HEAR SOME FOOTSTEPS.
>> THE FOOTSTEPS OF THEIR YOUNG
DAUGHTER.
HE LEFT TO PUT HER BACK TO BED
AND WHEN HE RETURNED 30 MINUTES
LATER, HIS WIFE WAS DEAD.
>> I BECAME LIKE PRETTY FRANTIC
AT THAT POINT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
SHE'S DEAD ON THE FLOOR.
>> IN CROSS-EXAMINATION,
PROSECUTORS ASKED IF McDONALD
HAD THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING 911.
>> I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING
ANYBODY TO REVIVE A DEAD PERSON.
MY PURPOSE AT THAT POINT WAS
SIMPLY TO GET HER OUT OF THE
HOUSE SO THAT MY SEVEN-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER WOULDN'T SEE HER MOTHER
LAYING ON THE FLOOR DEAD.
>> AFTER PUTTING ELANA BACK TO
DEAD, McDONALD SAID HE DUMPED
ANDREEN'S BODY IN THIS FIELD,
STRIPPED HER NAKED AND RETURNED
HOME TO BURN HER CLOTHING, WHICH
LEFT THAT BURN PATCH IN THE
BACKYARD.
BUT WHAT ABOUT ANDREEN'S BLOOD
ON THE YELLOW HAMMER?
ON THE FACE OF IT, THE EVIDENCE
DOESN'T SQUARE WITH McDONALD'S
ACCOUNT OF AN ACCIDENT.
McDONALD HAD AN EXPLANATION FOR
THAT.
HE TESTIFIED THAT WHEN
INVESTIGATORS FINISHED SEARCHING
HIS HOME, HE WENT BACK TO THE
FIELD BEFORE DAWN, ANGRY AND
ARMED WITH THE YELLOW HAMMER.
A CAN OF GASOLINE AND A PLAN.
>> MY PLAN WAS TO HIT THE PERSON
THAT CAUSED THIS WHOLE
CIRCUMSTANCE.
>> YOU THOUGHT IT WAS HER FAULT,
RIGHT?
>> IT'S ABSOLUTELY HER FAULT.
>> WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE GAS
TEEN?
>> I POURED IT ON HER AND I USED
THE LIGHTER TO SET IT ON FIRE.
>> McDONALD SAID WHEN THE FLAMES
SUBSIDED, THAT'S WHEN HE
ATTACKED HIS WIFE'S CORPSE WITH
THE HAMMER.
>> I HIT HER IN THE NECK.
AND I JUST HIT HER AGAIN WHILE I
WAS WALKING AWAY.
>> WHY THAT LAST BLOW?
>> AS I WAS WALKING AWAY?
>> YES.
>> BECAUSE I WAS STILL ANGRY
WHEN I WAS WALKING AWAY.
>> AFTER THAT GRUESOME
TESTIMONY, THE DEFENSE SHIFTED
GEARS AND TRIED TO REFOCUS THE
JURY ON THEIR THEORY OF THE
CRIME.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE DEFENSE
BROUGHT UP WHY McDONALD ACTED
THE WAY HE DID THAT NIGHT.
>> HAVE YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED YOU
ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE?
>> YES, I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED
THAT.
>> THE DEFENSE PLAYED VIDEOS
SHOWING ANDREEN GIVING HER
HUSBAND A PIGGYBACK RIDE AND
WORKING OUT.
>> WOULD YOU DESCRIBE ANDREEN AS
A VERY STRONG, POWERFUL WOMAN?
>> YES, I WOULD.
>> STRAIGHT UP.
>> ACCORDING TO McDONALD, HIS
WIFE COULD LIFT UP TO 300
POUNDS.
>> YES, MA'AM!
>> WHEN SHE ATTACKED YOU, WERE
YOU IN FEAR?
>> YES, I WAS IN FEAR OF THAT
SITUATION.
>> THEY WANT YOU TO FORGET AND
DISREGARD ALL HIS ACTIONS.
>> CLOSING ARGUMENTS.
>> FOLKS, THIS IS NOT
SELF-DEFENSE.
IT IS TIME FOR THIS MAN TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HE DID AND
IT IS FINTIME TO FIND HIM GUILTY OF
MURDER.
>> HE DID NOT INTENTIONAL LY
MURDER ANDREEN McDONALD.
YOUR DUTY AND YOUR OBLIGATION IS
TO SAY NOT GUILTY.
THANK YOU.
>>> AFTER SIX DAYS OF TESTIMONY,
THE JURY GOT THE CASE.
APPROXIMATELY 11 HOURS INTO
THEIR DELIBERATION, THE JURY
SENT A NOTE TO THE JUDGE.
>> IT SAYS WE'RE HOPELESSLY
DEADLOCKED.
>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ANDRE
McDONALD'S CLAIM OF
>>> AFTER ALMOST 11 HOURS OF
DELIBERATING, THE JURY WAS
DEADLOCKED, UNABLE TO DECIDE IF
ANDRE McDONALD WAS GUILTY OF
MURDER, MANSLAUGHTER OR NOT
GUILTY BY SELF-DEFENSE.
>> EVERYTHING WAS SAID IN THE
COURTROOM, ALL THE EVIDENCE WERE
THERE.
HE CONFESSED ON THE STAND WHAT
HE DID.
THEY SAW HIS DEMEANOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS THE
PROBLEM.
>> FOR JURORS --
>> I VOTED FOR MURDER, AND I SAW
THAT WE WERE 6-6.
>> AND RUDY RUIZ.
>> AT NO POINT DID ANY JUROR
THINK HE WAS INNOCENT OR THAT IT
WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
>> THE PROBLEM WAS WORDING.
>> BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY PICKED
APART THE DEFINITIONS OF MURDER
AND RECKLESSNESS.
>> THE JURY OF SIX WOMEN AND SIX
MEN SPENT HOURS DISCUSSING
WHETHER McDONALD HAD
INTENTIONALLY MURDERED ANDREEN
OR IF HE HAD RECKLESSLY KILLED
HER, MAKING IT MANSLAUGHTER.
MURDER CARRIES A LIFE SENTENCE.
MANSLAUGHTER UP TO 20 YEARS.
>> AND I THINK MOST OF US COULD
AGREE THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED, IT
WAS RECKLESS.
YOU LEFT HER ON THE GROUND, AND
HE DID NOT RENDER AID.
NOW THE TRICK WAS TO TRY AND
CONVINCE THE OTHER JURORS THAT
IT WAS MURDER.
>> BUT AS THE DELIBERATIONS
CONTINUED, SOME OF THE JURORS
HAD BEEN SWAYED WITH NINE NOW
FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN SWAYING
THE VOTE WAS ANDRE McDONALD'S
TESTIMONY.
>> THERE WAS SO LITTLE EVIDENCE.
AND, SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE
BELIEVED BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN WHAT HE
HAS TOLD US THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE
THIS.
HE WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO CONVINCE
A LOT OF THE JURORS.
>> AND WE HAD THAT ONE JUROR
SAID I KICKED SOMEONE AND I
NEVER INTENDED TO KILL THEM.
>> NO ONE WAS GOING TO CHANGE
ANYONE'S MIND.
>> THE JUDGE THEN INVOKED WHAT'S
CALLED AN ALLEN CHARGE, URGING
THE HOLD-OUT JURORS TO
RECONSIDER THE EVIDENCE AND
REACH A UNANIMOUS DECISION.
AFTER ANOTHER HOUR OF
DELIBERATIONS, A VERDICT.
>> AND MR. McDONALD, PLEASE
STAND WITH YOUR COUNSEL.
ON THE COUNT OF MURDER, THE JURY
FINDS THE DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY
OF THE OFFENSE OF MURDER.
AS CHARGED IN THE INDICTMENT,
GUILTY OF THE OFFENSE OF
MANSLAUGHTER.
>> ANDRE McDONALD WAS FOUND NOT
GUILTY OF MURDER, BUT GUILTY OF
THE LESSER CHARGE, MANSLAUGHTER.
ANDREEN'S SISTER WAS IN
DISBELIEF.
>> A MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HE SPOKE
WITH NO REMORSE, NO LOVE,
NOTHING AT ALL AND USED HAMMER,
STRIP HER CLOTHES, THROW
GASOLINE ON HER, BURNT HER, AND
THEY GIVE HIM MANSLAUGHTER.
THAT'S CRAZY.
I AM GOING TO STRUGGLE WITH THIS
UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.
>> THE PROSECUTION HAD A MIXED
REACTION TO THE VERDICT.
>> I WAS DISAPPOINTED.
HOWEVER, THE JURY REJECTED HIS
SELF-DEFENSE ARGUMENT AND HELD
HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR AT LEAST
SOMETHING.
>> FOR THE DEFENSE, ANDRE
McDONALD MAY NOT HAVE WALKED OUT
A FREE MAN BUT --
>> THIS IS A WIN.
I BELIEVE THIS IS A SELF-DEFENSE
CASE.
I DO RESPECT THE OUTCOME.
>> ANDREEN'S BEST FRIEND, MANDY
HALL.
>> HE'S THERE TO TELL HIS STORY.
HE IS THERE TO MAKE UP WHATEVER
HE WANTS TO MAKE UP.
SHE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE YOU
TOOK THAT AWAY FROM HER.
>> CINDY NOW SEES THAT PHONE
CALL FROM McDONALD BEFORE THE
TRIAL IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT, AS A
CALCULATED PLOY TO DEFLECT
BLAME.
>> IT'S FOUR YEARS.
IT TOOK HIM FOUR YEARS FOR HIM
TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE DID WHAT HE
DID.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S
REACHING OUT TO US TO LET US
THINK THAT HE'S GOING TO
RESPOND.
HE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
HE IS LYING, ALL OF THAT.
IT'S ALL A LIE.
>> AFTER THE VERDICT, SHERIFF
SALAZAR REACHED OUT TO ANDREEN'S
FATHER, A RETIRED MEMBER OF THE
JAMAICAN ARMY WITH AN UNUSUAL
OFFERING.
>> I DID PRESENT MR. ANDERSON
WITH A GIFT.
I ASKED MY DEPUTY TO REMOVE THE
HANDCUFFS FROM ANDRE, THEY PUT
THEM BACK TO THE CELL AND I GAVE
THOSE CUFFS TO MR. ANDERSON.
>> I WANTED THEM TO FEEL SOME
SORT OF CONNECTION TO AT LEAST
SENDING HIM AWAY TO PRISON.
>> I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT WE
REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOD BLESS YOU.
>> FOR ANDREEN'S MOTHER, NOTHING
ABOUT THIS STRATEGY MAKES SENSE.
HER DAUGHTER AND THE BEAUTIFUL
LIFE SHE HAD CREATED ARE GONE.
ANDREEN McDONALD, WHO CAME TO
AMERICA, BECAME A SUCCESSFUL
ENTREPRENEUR AND FOUND HER
PURPOSE IN SERVING OTHERS.
SADLY, THE BUSINESS SHE CREATED
IS NOW CLOSED.
>> I MISS HER VERY MUCH.
MOST TIMES THAT I THINK ABOUT
HER, IT'S LIKE I FEEL LIKE
GIVING UP.
>> AND IN THOSE TIMES, THEY LEAN
ON ONE ANOTHER.
>> WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE EACH
OTHER TO TAKE US THROUGH THIS
SAD JOURNEY.
WHEN I'M WEAK, MY MOM IS STRONG.
WHEN MY MOM IS WEAK, I AM
STRONG.
>> WE HAVE TO BE STRONG FOR
ELANA.
>> NOW 12 YEARS OLD, SHE IS THE
GLUE THAT BINDS THIS FRACTURED
FAMILY, A FAMILY THAT STILL
INCLUDES ANDRE'S MOTHER JACKIE.
THOUGH, SHE IS MAINLY LEFT WITH
THE MEMORIES AND THE PAIN OF
ONCE WAS.
>> I HURT MORE FOR ELANA THAN I
HURT FOR EVERYONE.
NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO GO
THROUGH WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH.
>> MAUREEN AND CINDY ARE NOW
RAISING HER.
>> IT IS BITTERSWEET BECAUSE WE
HAVE ELANA.
>> SHE REMINDS US SO MUCH OF
ANDREEN.
>> GIVE MOMMY A KISS.
LOVE YOU.
>>> A YOUNG WIFE AND MOTHER
FOUND WITH A STRANGE MIX OF
DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM.
>> HEY, THERE IS A NEEDLE RIGHT
HERE.
>> IT MAKES YOU STOP BREATHING
IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH.
>> WAS IT A MURDER?
>> HOW CRUCIAL WERE THOSE
JOURNALS?
>> VERY.
