- Hey, jeff.
- Hey, how's it going?
7
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:34,299
- How are you?
- Good. How was your flight?
8
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:36,801
It was good. Don't you like
this montana air, man?
9
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:39,805
It is beautiful.
These mountains, it's surreal.
10
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,073
- Let's go.
- All right.
11
00:00:46,646 --> 00:00:48,613
Kelly siegler:
I'm here in kalispell, montana,
12
00:00:48,682 --> 00:00:51,850
With detective jeff cowan, who's
leading a new cold case unit
13
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:54,086
For the abilene
police department in texas.
14
00:00:54,154 --> 00:00:55,987
We're on our way now
to meet with the family
15
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,622
Of jennifer servo,
16
00:00:57,691 --> 00:01:00,358
A beautiful
and talented young lady
17
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:04,196
Whose 2002 murder
devastated the town of abilene.
18
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:06,531
Steve is really fired up
about this case,
19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,534
And he's already down in abilene
lining up witnesses.
20
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,703
We'll meet up with him soon.
21
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:14,406
Jeff, why'd you want
to work this case foremost?
22
00:01:14,475 --> 00:01:17,442
It's probably the highest
profile case abilene has.
23
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:20,545
Young, attractive female
in the news world.
24
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:23,382
She got called by a news station
to come to abilene and work.
25
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:24,917
What I read in the case file
26
00:01:24,985 --> 00:01:26,585
Was she wanted to be
the next katie couric.
27
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,787
Good evening.
I'm jennifer servo.
28
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:30,689
Montana heart center,
the newest addition...
29
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,925
So it sounded like she had her
goals set really, really high.
30
00:01:32,993 --> 00:01:34,459
Very, very career driven.
31
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:37,362
She moved to abilene in July.
32
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:40,064
Yeah, her mom moves her
into her apartment,
33
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:43,034
Drives home, and her baby's
dead, what, two months later?
34
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,669
Just a tragedy.
35
00:01:44,738 --> 00:01:46,905
One of our reporters,
jennifer servo,
36
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:48,707
Was found dead
in her apartment today,
37
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,142
And police suspect foul play.
38
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:51,676
Siegler:
In the early morning hours
39
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:54,379
Of September 16th, 2002,
40
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:58,250
22-year-old jennifer servo
was alone in her new apartment,
41
00:01:58,318 --> 00:02:00,452
Chatting with a friend
on the telephone.
42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,020
She said goodbye to that friend
43
00:02:02,089 --> 00:02:03,788
A little before 2:00
in the morning,
44
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:06,658
And that was the last time
anyone has ever talked to her.
45
00:02:06,726 --> 00:02:09,861
Two days later,
jennifer's body was found
46
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:11,996
Slumped over her bathtub.
47
00:02:11,998 --> 00:02:13,866
She had been beaten
and was strangled to death.
48
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:16,135
You know,
I always get more nervous
49
00:02:16,203 --> 00:02:18,370
When I meet moms
that have lost their babies.
50
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,705
I gotta tell you,
I'm pretty nervous
51
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:21,974
About meeting jennifer's mom
52
00:02:22,042 --> 00:02:23,575
Just because all
she's been through.
53
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:26,177
- How do you lose your kid?
- I don't know.
54
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:29,648
The family, they have
wanted justice for a long time.
55
00:02:29,716 --> 00:02:32,817
They've been
a big advocate for this.
56
00:02:32,886 --> 00:02:34,286
Never given up hope.
57
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:36,588
My daughter mallory
was born a week
58
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,991
After jen had
moved down to texas.
59
00:02:39,059 --> 00:02:40,492
Right after, this happened.
60
00:02:40,561 --> 00:02:42,394
That was
the hardest part for me.
61
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:44,029
She never got to meet mallory.
62
00:02:44,097 --> 00:02:47,499
The investigation focused
on two primary suspects--
63
00:02:47,567 --> 00:02:51,169
Her recent ex,
35-year-old ralph sepulveda,
64
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:52,837
A former army ranger,
65
00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,406
And tv weatherman brian travers,
66
00:02:55,476 --> 00:02:58,476
Who was the last person
to see her alive.
67
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:01,580
Cowan: They're hoping, I think,
one day, to get that phone call
68
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:03,548
Of "hey, we've got
this thing solved.
69
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:04,716
We've got somebody in custody."
70
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:12,758
- Hi.
- Hello.
71
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:13,525
- How you doing?
- Hi. Good.
72
00:03:13,593 --> 00:03:14,826
How are you guys?
73
00:03:14,895 --> 00:03:16,461
Thanks for coming.
I'm krista.
74
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:17,696
Nice to meet you.
75
00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:20,198
- Hi. Sherry.
- Nice to meet you.
76
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,935
Sherry: So glad to meet you.
77
00:03:23,003 --> 00:03:24,836
Cowan: Well, thank you, folks,
for meeting with us.
78
00:03:24,838 --> 00:03:27,305
Thank you for being
interested in this.
79
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:29,107
I wanna hear about jennifer.
80
00:03:29,176 --> 00:03:32,210
We were close.
We were four years apart in age.
81
00:03:32,278 --> 00:03:35,780
As the little sister,
she kind of liked to tag along
82
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:38,884
With whatever things
my friends and I were doing.
83
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:47,892
Just fun-loving and happy.
Had lots of friends.
84
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:50,696
She was in cross country.
She was a cheerleader.
85
00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:52,764
Everybody really liked her.
86
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:55,366
How did the army reserve
thing happen?
87
00:03:55,436 --> 00:03:59,671
She watched pauly shore's
"in the army now."
88
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,773
Oh, god, that's funny.
89
00:04:01,842 --> 00:04:04,609
So she had to go down
once a month for training
90
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,277
While she was in high school.
91
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:10,882
She got excited when she
could take her army gun apart
92
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:14,253
In so many seconds
and put it back together again.
93
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:19,891
Jen was working
on her journalism degree.
94
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,562
She started working at
the news station in missoula.
95
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:24,963
I'm here on big mountain
96
00:04:25,031 --> 00:04:26,698
Overlooking
the moose creek fire.
97
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,833
After college,
she applied at abilene
98
00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:30,868
And got word
that they wanted to hire her.
99
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:35,940
So she and mom drove down to
abilene with a u-haul trailer.
100
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:38,677
She had a romantic vision
of texas.
101
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:40,478
It's going
to be full of cowboys,
102
00:04:40,547 --> 00:04:42,781
Cowboy hats, and cowboy boots.
103
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:44,882
And she was excited.
104
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:47,285
These men and women
of the 39th airlift squadron
105
00:04:47,354 --> 00:04:49,487
Knew they would be deployed
to central command,
106
00:04:49,556 --> 00:04:51,656
But they didn't realize
just how soon.
107
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:54,092
I'm jennifer servo, krbc 9.
108
00:04:58,498 --> 00:05:04,036
I had a funny feeling
in my heart for several days
109
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:06,138
Before I got notified
that she was gone.
110
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,842
There was a knock on my door,
111
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:14,512
And I couldn't figure out why
a police officer was at my door.
112
00:05:14,581 --> 00:05:18,382
And I opened up the door and
I said, "it's jen, isn't it?"
113
00:05:18,384 --> 00:05:22,054
And he said, "yes, ma'am.
We gotta get your husband home."
114
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:24,122
I said, "is she dead?"
115
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:27,659
And he said,
"yes, ma'am. I'm sorry."
116
00:05:33,299 --> 00:05:37,035
Something like this you think
always happens to somebody else,
117
00:05:37,103 --> 00:05:39,938
And when it happens
to you or your family,
118
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:43,107
You're just devastated.
119
00:05:43,177 --> 00:05:46,278
The file kind of hints
that some of y'all were talking
120
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,546
To her harder
about this new relationship.
121
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:50,048
- Mm-hmm.
- Christa: That was me.
122
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:54,152
She had told us
just fairly recently
123
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:57,155
That this person, ralph,
was going to move down with her.
124
00:05:57,224 --> 00:05:58,623
And I had never met ralph,
125
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:01,359
And she hadn't known him
for very long.
126
00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:04,730
They had met at an army reserve
training session.
127
00:06:04,798 --> 00:06:08,733
It was a brand-new relationship.
She's kind of infatuated.
128
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:10,568
What did she see in him,
do you think?
129
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:14,906
Maybe the toughness
that he was an army ranger,
130
00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:17,108
And she thought
that was pretty cool.
131
00:06:17,177 --> 00:06:19,744
He was quite
a bit older than her,
132
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:22,180
And maybe it was
a little bit of security.
133
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:24,149
She was afraid
to go to a new place.
134
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:28,853
And I said that to her, and
she was mad and argued with me.
135
00:06:28,922 --> 00:06:31,990
But I think she told ralph
that maybe "you shouldn't come."
136
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:34,692
And he talked her into it.
He says, "I'll help you.
137
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:36,861
I won't stay.
I'll just help you.
138
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,830
I've already quit my job.
139
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:41,800
I've already got
a u-haul truck rented."
140
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:45,403
He just, you know,
made her feel guilty
141
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:47,906
For making him change
all his plans.
142
00:06:47,974 --> 00:06:50,074
Siegler: He got there
pretty quickly, too.
143
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:54,746
Yeah, I think he was there,
like, the day after,
144
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:56,314
Probably when we got there.
145
00:06:56,383 --> 00:06:59,984
Okay. So he spent at least
a day or two with you,
146
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:02,620
Watching him interact,
before you came back.
147
00:07:02,689 --> 00:07:07,291
He seemed okay.
He seemed nice to her.
148
00:07:07,293 --> 00:07:10,061
And I thought, well, maybe
I have to give him a chance.
149
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:13,365
Siegler: Jennifer and ralph
had instant chemistry.
150
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,367
They only knew each other
about a month
151
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,569
Before he decided
to uproot his life
152
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:20,504
And aggressively pursue her.
153
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:23,441
But within weeks, jennifer
realized she'd made a mistake.
154
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,809
They got down there.
155
00:07:24,811 --> 00:07:26,945
She was already
not happy with him,
156
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:30,248
But then she found out
that he had been engaged
157
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:33,552
And that he had had a child.
158
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,553
That's when she really--
she was done.
159
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:38,190
Obviously misled.
And then he's down there,
160
00:07:38,258 --> 00:07:40,192
And it kind of just
throws gas in the fire.
161
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:41,993
Right.
162
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:45,063
Siegler: Jennifer broke up
with ralph, kicked him out,
163
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,332
And then he moved
into a nearby apartment.
164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,968
She then had a brief fling
with a co-worker
165
00:07:50,036 --> 00:07:52,571
And one of our
other suspects, brian travers.
166
00:07:52,573 --> 00:07:55,373
So, how did ralph feel
about jennifer moving on?
167
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:59,911
I think I felt more at ease
that he had moved out.
168
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:04,282
And I hoped
and, of course, prayed
169
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:06,217
That he would not hurt her
in any way.
170
00:08:06,286 --> 00:08:08,953
And I mentioned it to jen.
171
00:08:08,955 --> 00:08:13,625
"are you worried that he
might retaliate or something?"
172
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:16,528
But she said,
"no, we're still friends."
173
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:21,265
But as far as up to that moment,
he hadn't said anything
174
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:25,337
Or did anything
to alarm you that, hey,
175
00:08:25,405 --> 00:08:27,505
This person is possibly going
to do something to my daughter?
176
00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:28,606
No.
177
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,009
But the mother intuition
was there.
178
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:32,810
That's what
you're kind of insinuating.
179
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:36,047
Yeah.
When I left jen's apartment
180
00:08:36,116 --> 00:08:38,450
The day that they were
taking me to the airport...
181
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:40,384
- Uh-huh.
- ...We were leaving,
182
00:08:40,454 --> 00:08:43,655
And I turned around, just said,
183
00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:46,024
"hey, let me get a picture
of you guys."
184
00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:50,428
In the back of my mind,
I want a picture of him
185
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:53,865
In case I needed to show
the police someday
186
00:08:53,934 --> 00:08:56,801
If he ever hurts
a hair on her head.
187
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:59,137
And that was
the last picture of her
188
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,571
And the last picture of him.
189
00:09:00,641 --> 00:09:02,006
Do you know who the brian is
190
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:04,542
She's hanging out with
from abilene? Y'all do?
191
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:07,145
He's this other suspect.
192
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:09,180
And he came to the funeral.
So you got to meet him then.
193
00:09:09,249 --> 00:09:10,882
Mm-hmm.
194
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,117
- And?
- Nice enough kid.
195
00:09:13,186 --> 00:09:15,353
But I wasn't sure
if I should trust him or not
196
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:19,057
Because I knew
that he liked jen.
197
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:22,326
But jen wanted
to be footloose and fancy-free
198
00:09:22,396 --> 00:09:24,929
And enjoy her new life.
199
00:09:24,998 --> 00:09:27,599
But, uh...
200
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:31,369
So he was always
in the back of my mind.
201
00:09:31,437 --> 00:09:33,371
You wondered.
202
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,606
I don't know
how they've done it.
203
00:09:35,676 --> 00:09:37,441
I don't know how
they still have it together,
204
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:40,912
How they deal with losing
a 22-year-old sister
205
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:44,615
And, worse, a 22-year-old child.
206
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:46,051
It's unbelievable.
207
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:50,622
This is a hard case
with witnesses and suspects
208
00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:53,258
Scattered all across
the country.
209
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:56,360
The pressure for poor jeff
and the police department,
210
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:57,762
If it wasn't enough already,
211
00:09:57,764 --> 00:09:59,463
'cause this is abilene
police department's
212
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:01,799
Biggest unsolved case--
213
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:04,602
The pressure doesn't really get
any bigger than this, honestly,
214
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:06,237
On a cold case.
215
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:07,805
I'm gonna feel
really, really bad
216
00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:10,241
If we do all this
and don't get anywhere.
217
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:22,687
Steve spingola: When I first
read the jennifer servo case,
218
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:24,122
It actually broke my heart.
219
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:25,923
I'm the father of two daughters,
220
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:28,126
And as a parent,
this is your worst nightmare.
221
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:29,761
Jennifer servo, a young woman
222
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:31,329
Who had just graduated
from college,
223
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:32,631
Her mother got that phone call
224
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:35,399
That every parent dreads.
Truly a tragic case,
225
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,568
Probably one of the more vicious
that I've ever investigated.
226
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,203
- Thank you, sir.
- Yes, ma'am.
227
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:41,372
- Ooh. How y'all been?
- What's up?
228
00:10:41,441 --> 00:10:42,773
I'm glad kelly's back
from montana
229
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:44,609
So we can dive
right into this case.
230
00:10:44,677 --> 00:10:47,845
Start off by telling us
what you can, mr. Jeff.
231
00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:49,547
What I understand happened
232
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:52,016
Is she'd not been heard from
in a few days.
233
00:10:52,018 --> 00:10:54,385
So the news station
she worked at
234
00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:56,020
Actually called
the apartment complex
235
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:58,089
And asked for a check welfare.
236
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:02,660
The apartment complex employees
go over to the apartment.
237
00:11:02,729 --> 00:11:07,799
By the bed, you see
what looks like obvious blood,
238
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:11,202
And then you can see drag marks
through the living room.
239
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:14,439
And they find ms. Servo
in the bathroom,
240
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,074
Face down in the tub.
241
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:17,575
There's no water in her lungs,
242
00:11:17,643 --> 00:11:19,110
So she's dead
before she goes into that tub.
243
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:20,912
Spingola:
Jennifer's autopsy revealed
244
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:22,580
Multiple blunt force injuries,
245
00:11:22,649 --> 00:11:24,649
Though she died
of manual strangulation.
246
00:11:24,718 --> 00:11:27,385
She also had a large area
of bruising around her genitals,
247
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:28,986
But no internal injuries.
248
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:30,689
There's no blood.
There's no semen in her vagina
249
00:11:30,757 --> 00:11:32,723
From the sexual assault kit.
250
00:11:32,725 --> 00:11:34,759
So it's unclear if she was
actually sexually assaulted.
251
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:38,029
She had a t-shirt on,
plaid boxer shorts.
252
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:40,564
Having worked many
sexual assault investigations,
253
00:11:40,566 --> 00:11:42,200
They don't re-dress
their victims.
254
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,334
That's really rare.
255
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,569
And I gotta say,
that crime scene
256
00:11:45,571 --> 00:11:48,573
Is very confusing to me
as to exactly how it happened,
257
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:51,242
Where, and how she ends up
in that bathroom.
258
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:54,579
Investigators found no evidence
of forced entry.
259
00:11:54,647 --> 00:11:58,082
And even though her purse was
never located, it doesn't appear
260
00:11:58,084 --> 00:12:00,284
That jennifer's apartment
was burglarized.
261
00:12:00,286 --> 00:12:04,556
Okay, so, first of all, we got
our unknown suspect up here.
262
00:12:04,624 --> 00:12:05,956
Cowan: You have
the apartment complex.
263
00:12:06,026 --> 00:12:07,625
You have a lot of people
coming and going.
264
00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:11,795
Fingerprints, blood,
fluid, and hair samples
265
00:12:11,797 --> 00:12:14,599
Collected from the scene
did not point to any new leads.
266
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:18,469
We still need to consider
that an unknown intruder
267
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:20,571
Might have killed jennifer,
but we're also taking
268
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:23,708
A hard look
at her two recent exes.
269
00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:26,044
Brian travers.
270
00:12:26,112 --> 00:12:27,478
How long had
they known each other?
271
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:29,213
Two months. 'cause
he was already there working
272
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:30,482
The news station
when she showed up.
273
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:32,917
Siegler: We know they had sex
at least once.
274
00:12:32,986 --> 00:12:34,586
At least once,
possibly twice.
275
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:36,354
I think
he's infatuated with her.
276
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:38,122
You know,
she's a new hot commodity.
277
00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:40,124
She mentions
her relationship with brian
278
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:41,392
As being three days or so.
279
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:43,027
Siegler: And according
to her diary,
280
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:44,896
She told him
"you're not my type.
281
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:46,498
We need to just be friends."
282
00:12:46,566 --> 00:12:48,332
What raises him on my radar
283
00:12:48,401 --> 00:12:51,769
Is you're the last person
seen with her.
284
00:12:51,837 --> 00:12:54,272
Spingola:
On the night of September 15th,
285
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,907
Jennifer and brian left work
at around 11 p.M.
286
00:12:56,977 --> 00:12:58,543
And went
to run errands together.
287
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,912
She said goodbye to him
about 12:30 a.M.,
288
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:03,181
Drove herself home,
and then talked on a telephone
289
00:13:03,249 --> 00:13:05,850
To a friend
until about 1:39 a.M.,
290
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,419
Making brian the last person
to see her alive.
291
00:13:08,421 --> 00:13:12,356
I think he's cooperative
initially, travers.
292
00:13:12,425 --> 00:13:14,959
Two detectives
go to the apartment
293
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:16,360
To do a walkthrough,
294
00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:19,997
And they're using travers
as the person
295
00:13:20,066 --> 00:13:22,166
To see if anything's missing
from the apartment.
296
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,602
Have they asked him for a buccal
swab or anything at this point?
297
00:13:24,670 --> 00:13:26,404
They do acquire a buccal swab.
298
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,439
Spingola: While processing
the crime scene,
299
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:30,841
Officers collected the bedsheets
and sent them to the crime lab.
300
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:33,144
They found semen stains
on the sheets
301
00:13:33,212 --> 00:13:35,112
And the dna matched brian.
302
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:36,815
But since they had
a prior sexual relationship,
303
00:13:36,883 --> 00:13:39,117
It's not proof that he's
the one who attacked her.
304
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:40,785
But it doesn't
rule him out either.
305
00:13:40,853 --> 00:13:42,921
From that point on,
how is he acting
306
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:44,622
And how's his interview go?
307
00:13:44,691 --> 00:13:46,825
His interviews, I think,
are pretty good.
308
00:13:46,893 --> 00:13:48,259
The questions
being asked of him,
309
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:50,228
Was anything off that night?
310
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:52,630
He gives
the officers a statement
311
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:55,667
Saying, "oh, when we were out,
we saw this car"
312
00:13:55,735 --> 00:13:57,769
And possibly
that vehicle following them.
313
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,570
- Right.
- Brian tells investigators
314
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,673
That there was a car following
him and jennifer that night.
315
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,975
He's cooperated with police
from the very beginning.
316
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:07,478
But is his cooperation genuine
317
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,314
Or a ploy to steer the cops away
from himself as a suspect?
318
00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:13,184
Okay, ralph sepulveda
was how old?
319
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:15,587
- 35.
- An army ranger.
320
00:14:15,655 --> 00:14:17,321
They're not just kind
of hanging out.
321
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:20,658
They're together day and night
from the very beginning.
322
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:23,861
What bothers me is the fact
that when she gets her job,
323
00:14:23,929 --> 00:14:26,130
It's like, "hey, I'll go
with you. I'll move with you."
324
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,065
Siegler: It's all moving
at warp speed.
325
00:14:28,134 --> 00:14:29,900
How long does
he get to be in texas
326
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:32,503
Before she says "I don't think
this is such a great idea"?
327
00:14:32,505 --> 00:14:34,606
- Three weeks or less.
- Yeah, it's fast.
328
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:38,976
He moved out on August the 6th.
He got his own apartment.
329
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:41,612
August. So he'd been out
a little over a month.
330
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:44,148
So he's got a timeline here,
the 15th.
331
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:47,018
"wrote and worked
on my apology letter
332
00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:50,054
To my ex-girlfriend."
back in montana.
333
00:14:50,122 --> 00:14:51,655
Watched the raiders game,
went to bed at 10:30.
334
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:53,858
He puts himself in bed at 10:30.
335
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:55,859
- So he's got no alibi, right?
- Correct.
336
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:58,863
Also, why is he writing
an apology letter to an ex?
337
00:14:58,931 --> 00:15:00,498
I'm gonna just put
her name up here,
338
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,233
Question mark,
because we gotta find her.
339
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:05,169
Ralph was a quiet
and reserved guy,
340
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,372
Kind of a loner
who kept to himself.
341
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,674
So talking to his ex-girlfriend,
342
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:12,777
Who he broke up with
for jennifer back in montana,
343
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,578
Might help us better understand
344
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,947
His state of mind around
the time of jennifer's death.
345
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:18,716
- Hello, guys.
- How are you?
346
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:20,284
You'll have a seat
right here, guys.
347
00:15:20,352 --> 00:15:21,753
Siegler: In the meantime,
348
00:15:21,821 --> 00:15:24,121
Retired detectives
jeff bell and david atkins,
349
00:15:24,190 --> 00:15:26,924
Two of the first investigators
on the case, came in
350
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:31,128
To give us their firsthand
account of how he acted.
351
00:15:31,197 --> 00:15:34,665
I actually was called
to the scene the day of.
352
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:36,800
Ralph sepulveda's name came up
353
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,037
As an immediate person
that we needed to speak with.
354
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,472
What were
your first impressions of him?
355
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:43,040
Very matter of fact.
356
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:45,809
He was not emotional
in any form or fashion.
357
00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:47,879
Just didn't ask
the right questions.
358
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,047
"jennifer's dead,"
359
00:15:49,049 --> 00:15:50,748
And he was like,
"oh, that sucks."
360
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:54,318
He never asked
how did she die,
361
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:55,853
What happened to her.
362
00:15:55,922 --> 00:15:57,088
Never asked for the details
363
00:15:57,156 --> 00:16:00,124
That you would expect
someone to ask.
364
00:16:00,192 --> 00:16:01,793
Seemed strange
to me at the time.
365
00:16:01,861 --> 00:16:04,996
He moved away from abilene
in just a few weeks.
366
00:16:05,064 --> 00:16:07,965
Well, then later on, we found
out that he had rejoined
367
00:16:08,033 --> 00:16:10,334
The active duty military.
368
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:13,471
We were asking what type
of military training had he had
369
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:17,174
That he had training
to defend somebody
370
00:16:17,243 --> 00:16:19,543
Interrogating him,
and he denied that.
371
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:20,945
But when we were talking to him,
372
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:24,382
Jeff can tell you
he sat extremely stoic
373
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:26,684
To where there was
no body language to read.
374
00:16:26,753 --> 00:16:28,719
- Huh.
- We talked to family,
375
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:32,189
And family even said
that after this happened,
376
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:35,526
He just cut ties and didn't
communicate with anyone.
377
00:16:35,528 --> 00:16:37,929
- Okay.
- I am a firm believer
378
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,863
Everybody's a suspect
until they're crossed off.
379
00:16:39,865 --> 00:16:42,900
But it is just important
to rule people out
380
00:16:42,968 --> 00:16:46,370
As it is to find
the actual perpetrator.
381
00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,339
You know, it's very important
to get justice for jennifer.
382
00:16:48,408 --> 00:16:51,875
Not only jennifer,
but her family.
383
00:16:51,877 --> 00:16:53,611
And we're gonna hold
this person accountable,
384
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,980
Or we're damn sure gonna give it
one hell of a try.
385
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:07,525
- Siegler: Welcome back.
- Kathryn pinneri: Thank you.
386
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:08,893
Thank you, thank you.
387
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:11,062
- You remember dr. Pinneri.
- How you doing?
388
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:14,298
We're investigating whether
jennifer servo was murdered
389
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,700
By one of the two men
in her life.
390
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:20,304
Army ranger ralph sepulveda
or tv weatherman brian travers.
391
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:22,105
Or if an unknown suspect
392
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:24,842
Found his way into her apartment
and attacked her.
393
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:27,244
Dr. Kathy pinneri,
our forensic pathologist,
394
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:30,514
Is here to help us
interpret the autopsy report
395
00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:32,282
And the crime scene evidence.
396
00:17:32,284 --> 00:17:34,452
There's a lot of things
going on in this scene
397
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,286
That are very unusual.
398
00:17:36,288 --> 00:17:39,923
This is looking right in
through the front door.
399
00:17:39,925 --> 00:17:43,627
The bed is in the living room,
so that was a little odd.
400
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:46,330
But you can see
there's a big blood stain
401
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,666
Next to this sheet
on the ground.
402
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,434
Jennifer's got head injuries.
403
00:17:50,503 --> 00:17:53,671
One is right here,
and one is right here.
404
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:56,974
There's also an injury to
the right side of the forehead.
405
00:17:57,042 --> 00:17:58,843
The skin is broken
in the center,
406
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:02,112
So something hit hard enough
to cause the skin to split open.
407
00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:05,249
The autopsy showed signs
of manual strangulation,
408
00:18:05,317 --> 00:18:07,117
Meaning that a hand was used
409
00:18:07,187 --> 00:18:09,086
To compress
the blood vessels enough
410
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,721
To cause death.
411
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:11,622
If you're gonna
strangle me to death,
412
00:18:11,691 --> 00:18:13,057
How long does that take?
413
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:14,725
There's still oxygen
in your brain,
414
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,395
But it can be a few seconds
to a minute or two.
415
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:19,196
Okay.
416
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:21,365
Pinneri: This is the fingernail,
completely broken off.
417
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,434
It's clear to me
that she's conscious
418
00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:26,270
And fighting back at some point.
419
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:29,507
So then there was mention
of sexual assault.
420
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:31,909
The injuries
are described as contusions
421
00:18:31,977 --> 00:18:35,079
Of the labia
and outer genitalia.
422
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:36,847
The sexual assault kit,
though, is negative.
423
00:18:36,916 --> 00:18:39,149
There's no
internal trauma at all.
424
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:41,919
The guy downstairs, his
apartment mirrors hers exactly.
425
00:18:41,987 --> 00:18:44,121
He says it sounds
like somebody's in the kitchen,
426
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:47,225
And then there's some running
into the living room.
427
00:18:47,227 --> 00:18:49,693
And then he says
it's a rhythmic pounding.
428
00:18:49,695 --> 00:18:53,564
He says it's like constant
for a few minutes,
429
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:56,200
And he thinks
somebody's having sex.
430
00:18:56,269 --> 00:18:57,701
But instead, I'm wondering
431
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:00,237
If he's straddling her
with his knee in the groin
432
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:01,906
While he's choking her out.
433
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:05,476
I can't discount that.
It could be, perhaps,
434
00:19:05,544 --> 00:19:08,479
That this is some sort of injury
through the clothes
435
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:11,915
That would have impacted
the outer genitalia
436
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:13,884
But not penetrate.
437
00:19:13,953 --> 00:19:15,486
Do you have access
to that apartment?
438
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:17,020
- Mm-hmm.
- Y'all wanna go
439
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:19,222
To the apartment
and talk through all this?
440
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:20,758
Yeah, we can do that.
441
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:25,029
Siegler: I cannot imagine
what jennifer went through
442
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:28,165
Those last few minutes,
beaten and strangled to death
443
00:19:28,234 --> 00:19:29,867
As she tried
to fight off her attacker.
444
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:33,237
What more horrible way
is there to die?
445
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:36,641
Whether it was brian or ralph
or an unknown attacker,
446
00:19:36,709 --> 00:19:39,042
We have a better
appreciation now
447
00:19:39,044 --> 00:19:42,313
Of how this murder was a very
close and intimate ordeal.
448
00:19:49,221 --> 00:19:51,022
Jennifer servo moved to abilene.
449
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:53,056
Her mom drove her down here,
450
00:19:53,058 --> 00:19:55,192
And they went looking
for her a new place to live,
451
00:19:55,261 --> 00:19:56,660
And they found this apartment.
452
00:19:56,729 --> 00:19:59,063
So we're gonna go
to that apartment complex
453
00:19:59,131 --> 00:20:01,065
To hopefully figure
some of this stuff out.
454
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:04,868
I'd really like to see
the spatial relationship
455
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:07,137
Between the bedroom
that she was dragged in
456
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:10,073
And then the bathroom,
because I imagine
457
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:12,843
It's probably smaller
than it looks.
458
00:20:12,912 --> 00:20:15,046
Until you get there, you don't
know what you're looking for,
459
00:20:15,114 --> 00:20:16,581
So it's going to be interesting.
460
00:20:21,287 --> 00:20:22,720
Siegler: Where do
you wanna start
461
00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:24,421
With the front of the story
of the attack?
462
00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:25,889
So we know
she receives a phone call,
463
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:29,493
And that phone call ended
around 1:39 a.M.
464
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:32,095
All is right in her world
at 1:39 a.M.,
465
00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:34,264
Because she says
a normal goodbye, right?
466
00:20:34,334 --> 00:20:36,534
Yep. There's no forced entry.
467
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:38,001
This deadbolt
does not have a key.
468
00:20:38,071 --> 00:20:39,703
It has to be thrown.
469
00:20:39,705 --> 00:20:41,806
Being a female alone,
she's likely to have locked
470
00:20:41,874 --> 00:20:44,408
All three locks
on that front door,
471
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:46,143
One of which was locked
from the inside.
472
00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:48,045
So we know
she would have to open
473
00:20:48,113 --> 00:20:50,047
The inside deadbolt
to let that suspect in.
474
00:20:50,115 --> 00:20:52,916
So he gets in,
even if she just opens it.
475
00:20:52,918 --> 00:20:54,418
"what do you want?"
he forces his way in.
476
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:55,986
The witness
who lived downstairs,
477
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,855
Indicating around 2 a.M.
478
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:00,157
He hears
what he thought is arguing.
479
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:01,993
Potentially
something happens here
480
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:04,895
That leads to our incident here.
481
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,664
So y'all think
he hit her with something.
482
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:08,065
He knocks her down.
483
00:21:08,133 --> 00:21:09,600
She's down,
and then he does this.
484
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:11,369
Could that be a punch?
485
00:21:11,371 --> 00:21:13,403
Maybe that's what knocked
her down on the ground.
486
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:17,775
And then he gets on top of her,
lays his elbow into her throat
487
00:21:17,843 --> 00:21:19,910
And starts strangling her.
488
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:22,079
Show us what you just said.
Do it.
489
00:21:22,148 --> 00:21:25,582
We're arguing or whatever,
and then I just punch her.
490
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:29,019
She goes down to the ground,
and then he's on top.
491
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:31,388
Left arm right here.
492
00:21:31,457 --> 00:21:33,423
I mean, you can really put
your body weight in.
493
00:21:33,493 --> 00:21:36,027
- Siegler: Yeah. Yeah.
- And then he strikes her.
494
00:21:36,095 --> 00:21:37,795
Boom.
495
00:21:37,863 --> 00:21:39,697
Pinneri: And then the cast off
would be consistent
496
00:21:39,765 --> 00:21:42,499
With the blood spatter
that we see on the bed frame.
497
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:45,869
And the injury
to her genital area.
498
00:21:45,938 --> 00:21:48,739
Like, when I'm right here,
she can't go anywhere.
499
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:51,174
My knees got her locked in.
She's not moving.
500
00:21:51,176 --> 00:21:54,011
Okay. And maybe even
when you have
501
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,148
Your knee down there like that,
could that be the rhythmic
502
00:21:57,216 --> 00:21:59,349
That her head's hitting
the headboard, too?
503
00:21:59,419 --> 00:22:01,319
If it was on the bed,
then that could.
504
00:22:01,387 --> 00:22:03,053
Siegler: Okay.
505
00:22:03,122 --> 00:22:05,989
So then she gets dragged
to the tub.
506
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:07,991
Okay. I don't wanna make
you mess your clothes all up
507
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:09,193
And I don't care
if mine get dirty.
508
00:22:09,261 --> 00:22:10,761
Okay, so I'm back down here.
509
00:22:10,763 --> 00:22:12,830
Cowan: Drag marks
originate from here,
510
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:15,032
Through this way here.
511
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:17,134
And then
the blood trail stops here.
512
00:22:17,203 --> 00:22:21,071
And then if your idea
is to go submerge her in a tub,
513
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,840
Now you have to basically
flip her around
514
00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,709
And you're dragging
by the hands. Flip her over...
515
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:27,210
Siegler: And she hits
her head here.
516
00:22:27,212 --> 00:22:29,913
And then she just goes
all the way down.
517
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:33,550
Crime scene looks chaotic,
like somebody's panicking.
518
00:22:33,619 --> 00:22:35,452
They're grabbing stuff
from here and there
519
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:37,254
And trying to figure out
what they're going to do.
520
00:22:37,322 --> 00:22:39,123
Obviously there's
a lot of manipulation
521
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,925
Going on with this body.
It suggests a lack of planning.
522
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:44,694
Okay, so he takes her
into the bathroom
523
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:46,730
To put her in the tub,
'cause why?
524
00:22:46,798 --> 00:22:49,233
I don't know if it's just
an extra layer of security
525
00:22:49,301 --> 00:22:51,602
Just to make sure
she is deceased.
526
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:53,704
Well, there's no reason
to hang around this apartment
527
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:56,507
And run the risk of being caught
any more than you want to.
528
00:22:56,575 --> 00:22:58,041
So the only reason
you would take the time
529
00:22:58,043 --> 00:22:59,710
To move her and do all that
530
00:22:59,778 --> 00:23:02,145
Is to make sure any evidence
that you left behind is gone.
531
00:23:02,215 --> 00:23:03,781
I guess the only reason
I would argue that
532
00:23:03,849 --> 00:23:06,383
Is the fact that she's not
completely put in the tub.
533
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:07,551
All the evidence
is right here.
534
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:09,286
- Right.
- Making sure
535
00:23:09,355 --> 00:23:12,522
That any of this evidence
or this evidence
536
00:23:12,592 --> 00:23:15,025
Or kissing or whatever
it could be is gone.
537
00:23:15,094 --> 00:23:17,828
What a violent, horrible crime.
538
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:19,497
I don't know
if the person who did this
539
00:23:19,499 --> 00:23:22,432
Came over here
intending to hurt jennifer
540
00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:24,802
Or if this
is an unplanned action
541
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:27,304
Of an obsessive, jilted lover.
542
00:23:27,373 --> 00:23:29,506
It's time for us
to start talking to witnesses
543
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:31,175
To see what we can find out.
544
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,888
So, how did you meet jennifer?
545
00:23:43,956 --> 00:23:46,790
We were in school together
in missoula.
546
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:49,193
She was one of my best friends
in college.
547
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:50,961
She had her own apartment
548
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:53,397
And just was very
on her own two feet.
549
00:24:10,415 --> 00:24:12,716
In her 22 short years,
550
00:24:12,785 --> 00:24:14,584
Jennifer servo collected
551
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:17,822
A world of friends
and co-workers that adored her.
552
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:38,108
Yeah.
553
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:42,512
It's never easy to ask friends
to go over painful memories,
554
00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:44,848
But this case
is not gonna get solved
555
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:48,085
By dna or a brand-new witness,
so we need their help.
556
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:06,770
Montgomery:
She tell you who she went
557
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,606
To get her cat food
and whatnot with?
558
00:25:11,376 --> 00:25:12,510
What can you tell us about him?
559
00:25:20,886 --> 00:25:21,986
[man speaking]
560
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,458
[woman speaking]
561
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:05,095
Siegler: While brian
had a potential motive
562
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:08,732
Because jennifer did call off
their short little romance,
563
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,835
It feels like everybody
in brian's world
564
00:26:11,904 --> 00:26:15,572
Did not think that he had it
in him to kill jennifer.
565
00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:17,374
[woman speaking]
566
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:24,047
Spingola: You never met ralph?
567
00:26:24,116 --> 00:26:25,583
What'd you think of him?
568
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:39,430
Okay.
569
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:28,512
She really wanted to have
this huge career path.
570
00:27:42,628 --> 00:27:44,094
Spingola: Did she ever tell you
571
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:45,329
That she found out
that ralph had a child?
572
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:18,128
This could be the biggest thing
573
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:19,563
That we find out
this whole week.
574
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:21,532
Did you ever see
any bruises on her at all
575
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,701
When she talked
about sex with ralph?
576
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:33,610
Jennifer told not one,
but two of her best girlfriends
577
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:37,080
That he was into strangling her
during sex,
578
00:28:37,149 --> 00:28:40,317
Which she definitely never liked
and did not want.
579
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:43,587
Since jennifer was strangled
to death, I think that's huge.
580
00:28:43,655 --> 00:28:46,923
And when ralph is asked
about rough sex back then,
581
00:28:46,992 --> 00:28:48,725
He completely denied it.
582
00:28:48,793 --> 00:28:50,761
He acted like somebody's saying
that they're lying on him,
583
00:28:50,829 --> 00:28:52,463
And there's no way
anybody would find
584
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:55,265
These two girls as not credible.
585
00:28:57,602 --> 00:29:00,537
They're crushing it,
and so are we.
586
00:29:00,606 --> 00:29:04,307
God's watching over you, jeff.
You know that, right?
587
00:29:04,309 --> 00:29:05,809
Got my back.
588
00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:08,779
You're not gonna get
better witnesses than these.
589
00:29:08,847 --> 00:29:11,815
These girls, college educated,
they didn't get involved
590
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:14,751
In anything high risk
in their life then or since.
591
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:15,952
Oh, my god.
592
00:29:16,021 --> 00:29:18,021
I can't imagine how sweet,
593
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:21,291
Naive, young jennifer servo
started to feel
594
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:22,825
When it dawned on her
595
00:29:22,827 --> 00:29:26,663
That this fun fling
with a bad boy, older guy
596
00:29:26,732 --> 00:29:29,366
Was turning into a situation
out of her control.
597
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:34,370
In her diary, jennifer describes
how an obsessive ralph
598
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,774
Bullied his way
into her brand-new life in texas
599
00:29:37,843 --> 00:29:43,012
And was taking advantage of
her financially and emotionally.
600
00:29:43,082 --> 00:29:45,415
And when she finally
worked up her courage
601
00:29:45,484 --> 00:29:48,385
To put her foot down
and kick him out for good,
602
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,554
Could that have been enough
for a man to snap?
603
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:55,458
Could that car that jennifer and
brian noticed was following them
604
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:58,028
Around that night been ralph,
605
00:29:58,096 --> 00:30:00,464
Jealous that she was out
with another man?
606
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,839
Montgomery:
Oh, this is her calling.
607
00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:11,809
- You ready?
- Yeah.
608
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:15,312
Hey, thanks for calling me back.
609
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:17,547
Siegler: In the days
around jennifer's murder,
610
00:30:17,549 --> 00:30:20,717
Ralph wrote this long
love letter to his ex-girlfriend
611
00:30:20,719 --> 00:30:22,619
That he had left behind
in montana,
612
00:30:22,688 --> 00:30:24,955
Begging her to take him back.
613
00:30:25,023 --> 00:30:27,824
We wanna hear if he said
anything to his ex
614
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,526
About jennifer's death.
615
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:31,261
How long would you say
y'all were together?
616
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:38,602
Siegler: Wow.
617
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:18,809
Did you ever receive
a letter from him
618
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:23,580
Any time after all of this?
Never?
619
00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:29,953
Hearing that ralph
620
00:31:29,955 --> 00:31:32,289
Never even contacted
this ex-girlfriend
621
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:35,124
After writing this letter,
that's crazy.
622
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:37,060
Montgomery: Well, I appreciate
you calling me today.
623
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:38,695
- Thanks.
- Bye-bye.
624
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:41,164
I don't think he ever meant
to send her the letter.
625
00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:42,566
- No.
- He just wants to act
626
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:44,434
Like there is somebody else
out there.
627
00:31:44,503 --> 00:31:47,103
Jennifer's not that big of
a deal. He's not that invested.
628
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:49,806
- He's got other plans.
- Exactly.
629
00:31:49,875 --> 00:31:53,543
We're gonna have to ask him
about that when we confront him.
630
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:56,179
It's time we go talk
to both of our suspects.
631
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:07,156
You kind of got drafted
to come and talk
632
00:32:07,158 --> 00:32:09,959
- With me and travers, eh?
- I know. I'm the lucky guy.
633
00:32:09,961 --> 00:32:11,828
Spingola: For the past 21 years,
there's been two main suspects
634
00:32:11,897 --> 00:32:13,764
In the death of jennifer servo,
635
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:15,332
And we're gonna travel
all over the country
636
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,334
To try to track them down
and interview them.
637
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:19,937
Detectives cowan and montgomery
are flying to hawaii
638
00:32:20,005 --> 00:32:22,239
To interview ralph sepulveda
at his home
639
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:24,775
While abilene detective,
roger romero, and myself
640
00:32:24,843 --> 00:32:28,178
Are traveling to iowa
to interview brian travers.
641
00:32:29,014 --> 00:32:30,680
So far, we haven't
been able to uncover
642
00:32:30,682 --> 00:32:33,050
Any physical evidence
that links brian to this case,
643
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:34,551
And he's always
been cooperative.
644
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:35,985
Let's see if he adds anything
645
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:37,320
That would either
incriminate him
646
00:32:37,389 --> 00:32:39,122
Or clear him in this case
once and for all.
647
00:32:45,564 --> 00:32:48,799
[line ringing]
648
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:53,570
Automated voice: Please leave
your message for...
649
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,472
Man: Brian travers.
650
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:57,674
Mr. Travers,
this is detective romero
651
00:32:57,742 --> 00:32:59,109
With the abilene
police department.
652
00:32:59,177 --> 00:33:00,977
If I can get you
to give me a call back
653
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:03,212
On this number, please,
that'd be great. Thank you.
654
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:07,216
Spingola: I don't know
if he's working, you know.
655
00:33:07,218 --> 00:33:10,119
So far, we haven't had any luck
trying to contact brian travers.
656
00:33:10,189 --> 00:33:12,489
We're gonna try to track down
his business address
657
00:33:12,557 --> 00:33:13,824
And see if we can
surprise him there.
658
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,961
He was in tennessee for a while.
659
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:20,864
- [cell phone ringing]
- hmm.
660
00:33:20,932 --> 00:33:22,499
Is that him there?
661
00:33:23,836 --> 00:33:24,768
Hmm.
662
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:29,373
Detective romero.
663
00:33:32,877 --> 00:33:34,511
Hey, mr. Travers.
Appreciate you calling me back.
664
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:39,549
Just to sit down
and have a chat.
665
00:33:43,088 --> 00:33:45,856
I'd like to do it right now
if you're available.
666
00:33:50,662 --> 00:33:52,829
Yeah. All right. Thank you, sir.
667
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:54,564
All right, thank you.
668
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:56,700
- He's gonna make us wait.
- Yep.
669
00:33:59,237 --> 00:34:02,972
Detectives cowan and montgomery
have a lot of good questions
670
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:06,209
To confront our suspect,
ralph sepulveda, with.
671
00:34:06,278 --> 00:34:09,379
We wanna know where was he
on the night she was killed,
672
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:10,981
Why he told detectives
673
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:13,816
That he and jennifer
were not very serious
674
00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:17,987
When so many friends say
he was very obsessed with her,
675
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:21,958
Why he never contacted
that ex-girlfriend from montana
676
00:34:22,027 --> 00:34:24,594
That he was supposedly
gonna beg to take him back.
677
00:34:24,663 --> 00:34:27,864
And, most importantly,
we wanna see what he says
678
00:34:27,866 --> 00:34:29,833
About choking jennifer
during sex.
679
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:33,904
- Hey, how's it going?
- Hey, sir, how you doing?
680
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:35,838
- I'm jeff cowan.
- I'm ralph.
681
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:37,741
- Hey, how you doing, sir?
- Shawn montgomery.
682
00:34:37,809 --> 00:34:39,442
- How are you?
- Good.
683
00:34:39,511 --> 00:34:42,679
Hey, so, I work cold cases
here in abilene.
684
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,180
- Okay.
- And the case file,
685
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:45,748
Your name's all in it,
686
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:47,250
And you know the case file
I'm talking about.
687
00:34:47,318 --> 00:34:50,720
If you can give us insight, man,
I'd be appreciative of it.
688
00:34:50,789 --> 00:34:53,523
You know, it's been so long.
689
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:55,625
I haven't talked to anybody
in a long time.
690
00:34:55,627 --> 00:34:57,460
- Okay.
- But, um,
691
00:34:57,528 --> 00:35:00,330
I really--there's nothing else
I could add to that.
692
00:35:00,398 --> 00:35:01,965
- Okay.
- Absolutely nothing.
693
00:35:02,033 --> 00:35:04,201
He was very matter of fact.
694
00:35:04,203 --> 00:35:07,136
He was very stoic.
He was guarded.
695
00:35:07,206 --> 00:35:11,774
I spoke, you know,
to the detectives there plenty.
696
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:14,544
Gave 'em everything I had.
697
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:17,480
Gave 'em my side
of the story, whatever.
698
00:35:17,549 --> 00:35:20,350
But, yeah, I have
nothing else to add. Sorry.
699
00:35:20,418 --> 00:35:21,284
Okay.
700
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:25,188
I have no idea.
701
00:35:25,256 --> 00:35:28,391
He wouldn't divulge
any new information to us.
702
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:29,960
He gave us nothing.
703
00:35:33,432 --> 00:35:35,866
Whatever I wrote back then,
that's it.
704
00:35:35,934 --> 00:35:39,903
He strikes me as--like,
he still doesn't give a ----.
705
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:42,271
Sorry you guys had
to come all this way.
706
00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:45,642
Like, he never asked us
how's the case coming,
707
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:49,212
Are there any leads,
who's your main suspect.
708
00:35:49,281 --> 00:35:52,682
I think because he knows
that he is the main suspect.
709
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:55,452
And if this was a person
that he loved and cared for
710
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,788
The way he said he did
21 years ago,
711
00:35:58,857 --> 00:36:00,524
He sure has a funny way
of showing it.
712
00:36:00,592 --> 00:36:02,159
Appreciate you, sir.
713
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:11,301
Just like in the past,
brian is willing to talk to us,
714
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:12,903
But he wants
his attorney present,
715
00:36:12,971 --> 00:36:15,005
And we're not gonna be able
to record our conversation.
716
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:30,921
Take care.
717
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:37,294
Brian's attorney advised him
not to answer any questions
718
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:38,961
And advised him to stay
with the statement
719
00:36:39,031 --> 00:36:41,197
He gave us 21 years ago.
720
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,166
But he did answer
a few questions.
721
00:36:43,234 --> 00:36:46,002
He cooperated as much as
his attorney would allow him to.
722
00:36:46,071 --> 00:36:47,837
You go to your attorney
and I tell you
723
00:36:47,839 --> 00:36:49,572
The first question they ask is,
"did you do this?"
724
00:36:49,574 --> 00:36:52,208
If he had any type of guilt,
I think that attorney would say,
725
00:36:52,276 --> 00:36:54,243
"we're not answering,"
but he's letting him talk.
726
00:36:54,245 --> 00:36:57,047
So that kind of tells me
that he didn't do it.
727
00:37:06,690 --> 00:37:08,124
Morning.
728
00:37:08,193 --> 00:37:09,559
- Morning.
- How y'all doing?
729
00:37:09,627 --> 00:37:11,061
- Good.
- Wonderful.
730
00:37:11,129 --> 00:37:12,895
It's been a long, tough week,
731
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:15,231
And we have talked to so many
of the most credible witnesses
732
00:37:15,299 --> 00:37:17,133
You could ever hope to find.
733
00:37:17,202 --> 00:37:19,269
And now we're gonna review
everything we've learned
734
00:37:19,337 --> 00:37:20,637
About our suspects.
735
00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:23,239
Okay, let's do
"unknown suspect."
736
00:37:23,308 --> 00:37:24,975
Jeff, what are you
thinking about
737
00:37:25,043 --> 00:37:27,744
There's an unknown random person
that strangled her
738
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:29,346
And killed her
and put her in the bathtub?
739
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:31,114
I don't think so.
740
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:32,649
The original officers noted
741
00:37:32,717 --> 00:37:35,818
That there was
no signs of forced entry.
742
00:37:35,887 --> 00:37:38,255
I would think
you'd hear screaming.
743
00:37:38,323 --> 00:37:39,922
And we know
there was conversation
744
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:41,824
From our downstairs neighbor.
It was arguing,
745
00:37:41,893 --> 00:37:44,661
And it lasted sound like
for a decent amount of time.
746
00:37:44,729 --> 00:37:46,896
I think there'd be
a different screams,
747
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,398
And the police
would have been called.
748
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,001
So everybody good with taking
unknown suspect off?
749
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:53,536
Yes.
750
00:37:56,408 --> 00:37:59,209
Okay, so we got
brian travers up here.
751
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:01,378
He knows that
when you google his name,
752
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:03,612
He comes up as a suspect
for jennifer servo,
753
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,615
And he's been living
with that his whole life.
754
00:38:05,683 --> 00:38:07,317
He gets thrown into this
755
00:38:07,385 --> 00:38:09,251
Because, a, he's the last person
that's seen her.
756
00:38:09,253 --> 00:38:11,888
The relationship
is on the downslide.
757
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:15,324
He is a very meek,
dependent personality.
758
00:38:15,326 --> 00:38:16,793
He's a little bit awkward
socially.
759
00:38:23,935 --> 00:38:25,335
The other thing,
he's got no record.
760
00:38:25,403 --> 00:38:27,904
I just do not see
this guy seriously.
761
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:29,371
He's calling
the police department,
762
00:38:29,373 --> 00:38:31,540
He's telling what he knows,
763
00:38:31,542 --> 00:38:34,444
And he's still trying to help
solve jennifer servo's case.
764
00:38:34,512 --> 00:38:36,846
Brian travers has cooperated
765
00:38:36,915 --> 00:38:39,482
With the police department
since day one
766
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:42,752
Even against the advice
of his own lawyers.
767
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:44,854
He's given his dna.
768
00:38:44,923 --> 00:38:48,157
He flew up to montana
to her funeral
769
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,660
And grieved there
with her family and friends
770
00:38:50,728 --> 00:38:54,331
And has continued to email
jennifer's mom about the case.
771
00:38:54,399 --> 00:38:57,066
So many of his friends
and co-workers
772
00:38:57,135 --> 00:38:58,701
Have vouched for his character.
773
00:38:58,770 --> 00:39:01,137
The only thing
brian travers did wrong
774
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:04,574
Was fall way too hard
for jennifer years ago,
775
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:07,209
And he's been paying
for that ever since.
776
00:39:07,279 --> 00:39:09,012
I think he needs
to be cleared off the board.
777
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,847
- Clear him.
- Without a doubt.
778
00:39:10,915 --> 00:39:12,982
Siegler: It feels kind of good
to finally let him know
779
00:39:13,051 --> 00:39:15,818
Once and for all
he's cleared in all this.
780
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:20,423
Okay, so we got ralph sepulveda
left up here standing.
781
00:39:20,491 --> 00:39:23,359
Jennifer made it very clear
that "my career comes first."
782
00:39:23,428 --> 00:39:25,628
Jennifer told him, "I don't
want you to come to texas.
783
00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:28,230
I need to focus on my career."
and he didn't listen to her.
784
00:39:28,232 --> 00:39:30,266
He did the exact opposite
and followed her.
785
00:39:30,335 --> 00:39:32,469
Like, once he went there
and followed her,
786
00:39:32,471 --> 00:39:34,371
And this wasn't really
what she wanted.
787
00:39:34,439 --> 00:39:36,039
She didn't really know
how to get out of it.
788
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,640
He doesn't have a job,
789
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:39,475
And he's living with her
and mooching off of her,
790
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,243
And he doesn't leave
until she forces him out.
791
00:39:41,313 --> 00:39:44,280
He says he moved out
August the 2nd.
792
00:39:44,348 --> 00:39:46,582
That's six whole weeks
of sitting in his apartment
793
00:39:46,651 --> 00:39:48,318
With no furniture.
794
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:49,586
So, what do you
think's happening
795
00:39:49,654 --> 00:39:53,355
Inside the brain
of this 35-year-old army ranger
796
00:39:53,357 --> 00:39:56,426
When he realizes "this isn't
quite working out how I like"?
797
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:57,927
He doesn't go back home.
798
00:39:57,996 --> 00:39:59,796
He's still trying
to talk her into it.
799
00:39:59,864 --> 00:40:02,431
And he may have even seen her
with travers earlier that day,
800
00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:04,534
Which didn't really help
his frame of mind, too.
801
00:40:04,602 --> 00:40:05,902
He doesn't want her
with anybody else.
802
00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:08,238
Yep. This is an obsession.
803
00:40:08,306 --> 00:40:10,372
This isn't just love.
This is an obsession.
804
00:40:10,442 --> 00:40:13,375
And jennifer finds out he's got
a kid and he was engaged.
805
00:40:13,377 --> 00:40:15,745
Spingola: This whole
relationship is based on a lie.
806
00:40:15,813 --> 00:40:19,649
The fact that she's deceased
less than 10 days,
807
00:40:19,717 --> 00:40:21,217
He packs up and leaves.
808
00:40:21,286 --> 00:40:23,219
Siegler: He joined
the real army again.
809
00:40:23,287 --> 00:40:24,921
Montgomery:
Never went to the funeral.
810
00:40:24,989 --> 00:40:28,124
Didn't contact family
or friends of jennifer.
811
00:40:28,192 --> 00:40:29,759
It's like he just disappeared.
812
00:40:29,827 --> 00:40:31,994
Thank god y'all found
that apology letter.
813
00:40:31,996 --> 00:40:34,497
'cause that thing was beautiful.
And he says in his letter
814
00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:36,633
He's going back to the girl
he was engaged to.
815
00:40:41,506 --> 00:40:43,506
Jennifer apparently
was very open and honest
816
00:40:43,574 --> 00:40:45,475
With her girlfriends
about their relationship.
817
00:40:51,983 --> 00:40:54,951
Strangling, to me, is huge.
818
00:40:55,019 --> 00:40:59,189
He didn't just like rough sex.
He liked strangling during sex.
819
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:02,292
Before she ends up dead,
strangled to death.
820
00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:07,329
What are you hoping
happens today
821
00:41:07,331 --> 00:41:08,664
When you meet
with your prosecutors?
822
00:41:08,733 --> 00:41:11,167
I think, based on what we have,
823
00:41:11,235 --> 00:41:13,502
All roads lead back to ralph.
824
00:41:13,572 --> 00:41:15,305
Siegler: Detectives cowan
and montgomery
825
00:41:15,373 --> 00:41:17,974
Are gonna present their case
to their prosecutor,
826
00:41:18,042 --> 00:41:21,010
Seeking charges for the murder
of jennifer servo
827
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:22,278
Against ralph sepulveda.
828
00:41:34,892 --> 00:41:36,692
Can you imagine
how they slept last night,
829
00:41:36,761 --> 00:41:38,694
Waiting to hear
what you gotta tell 'em?
830
00:41:38,763 --> 00:41:40,430
I bet they didn't sleep at all.
831
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,033
- Good morning, ladies.
- Good morning.
832
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:45,368
- Y'all doing okay today?
- Yes.
833
00:41:47,038 --> 00:41:48,905
- Hello.
- Hi.
834
00:41:48,973 --> 00:41:51,107
- How was the flight?
- It was good.
835
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:54,744
So, it has been a, uh--
836
00:41:54,812 --> 00:41:56,512
A very lengthy process.
837
00:41:56,581 --> 00:41:58,714
- Very daunting.
- Mm-hmm.
838
00:41:58,783 --> 00:42:01,850
But exhilarating
at the same time on our end.
839
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:04,120
- Uh-huh.
- Shawn and I went to hawaii
840
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:05,754
And spoke with ralph.
841
00:42:05,824 --> 00:42:08,658
- And he would talk to you?
- For a brief moment.
842
00:42:08,726 --> 00:42:12,394
But we weren't anticipating
anything other than that.
843
00:42:12,464 --> 00:42:14,163
- Yeah.
- We had a meeting
844
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:16,465
With our da's office,
ran the case down to them,
845
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:19,335
And they're looking
at taking this case.
846
00:42:19,403 --> 00:42:21,437
- Ah.
- Whether it be seeking charges
847
00:42:21,506 --> 00:42:24,040
Or go to grand jury
on ralph sepulveda.
848
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:26,976
Yay.
849
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:28,845
We've got a few things
to kind of clean up.
850
00:42:28,913 --> 00:42:31,147
I don't know
when that'll all occur,
851
00:42:31,215 --> 00:42:34,284
But we'll be
in contact for sure.
852
00:42:34,352 --> 00:42:39,922
I finally feel we're gonna have
some justice for jen.
853
00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:41,991
It won't bring her back.
854
00:42:41,993 --> 00:42:45,328
But everything
they've been through,
855
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:48,764
Doing the investigations,
I appreciate all of it.
856
00:42:48,833 --> 00:42:51,867
The police department
feels like family.
857
00:42:51,869 --> 00:42:53,870
I'm sorry for all y'all
had to go through.
858
00:42:53,938 --> 00:42:55,671
Y'all been so patient
for 21 years.
859
00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:58,674
This is what I was hoping for.
860
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:02,578
Christa: We're just so thankful
to all of the investigators.
861
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,780
It means a lot
that people didn't give up
862
00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:09,151
And they--they didn't
stop trying, ever.
863
00:43:09,220 --> 00:43:11,787
- We're all here for you, okay?
- We know you are.
864
00:43:11,856 --> 00:43:13,923
- Thank you so much.
- Give me a hug.
865
00:43:17,429 --> 00:43:18,995
Siegler: Jennifer servo
866
00:43:19,063 --> 00:43:22,732
Was a very special
22-year-old young lady
867
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,967
Taken from this world
way too soon.
868
00:43:24,969 --> 00:43:29,238
And her mom and sister have
been waiting all these years
869
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:30,807
For something
to be done about that.
870
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:32,975
And our hope is that now
871
00:43:33,044 --> 00:43:36,312
They can finally get
the justice that they deserve.
