But the bank account only had $5 in it, 596 00:38:24,220 --> 00:38:28,016 due to the fact that Cat 597 00:38:28,058 --> 00:38:30,810 had recently opened that account, 598 00:38:30,852 --> 00:38:34,314 and it was a minimum of $5 to open it. 599 00:38:34,356 --> 00:38:37,150 Which is why when Cory was trying to withdraw the money 600 00:38:37,192 --> 00:38:39,652 from the ATM, he could not withdraw the money 601 00:38:39,694 --> 00:38:42,322 due to insufficient funds. 602 00:38:42,364 --> 00:38:44,949 -

The crime was considered a federal one 639 00:41:25,402 --> 00:41:29,030 and not a local or a state one because of the fact that 640 00:41:29,072 --> 00:41:33,284 Cory Voss was a military member. 641 00:41:33,326 --> 00:41:36,371 -

But it was up to the United States Attorney. 647 00:41:49,884 --> 00:41:52,345 In exchange for her pleading guilty, 648 00:41:52,387 --> 00:41:56,224 he gave Cat a life sentence. 649 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,859 -

NARRATOR: With Cat's guilty plea, 654 00:42:21,499 --> 00:42:25,628 the motive that investigators suspected all along 655 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:27,380 is confirmed. 656 00:42:27,422 --> 00:42:29,341 - She thought she was going to get away with this. 657 00:42:29,382 --> 00:42:33,511 She would come out with, you know, $500,000 richer 658 00:42:33,553 --> 00:42:38,266 and be able to live her life with, uh, Michael Draven. 659 00:42:38,308 --> 00:42:41,227 - She sought to find men who would support her 660 00:42:41,269 --> 00:42:44,689 and her spending ways, but it was never enough. 661 00:42:44,731 --> 00:42:47,025 You can never have enough. 662 00:42:47,734 --> 00:42:49,486 - There is no doubt that Cat Voss 663 00:42:49,527 --> 00:42:54,908 was the driving force uh, behind Cory's, uh, death. 664 00:42:54,949 --> 00:42:59,162 Clearly she stopped at nothing to get what she wanted. 665 00:43:02,499 --> 00:43:05,460 -
