00:12:32,350 That were in the house when this occurred 200 00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:36,554 To tell us everything they know and walk us through stuff. 201 00:12:36,622 --> 00:12:38,156 This information is key. 202 00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:41,959 [narrator] detectives make arrangements 203 00:12:42,028 --> 00:12:44,228 To speak with aaron's daughters 204 00:12:44,297 --> 00:12:48,566 I was assigned with talking to the two young sisters, 205 00:12:48,635 --> 00:12:52,470 Who were possible witnesses to what had happened at the house. 206 00:12:52,538 --> 00:12:55,773 They were eleven and eight at the time. 207 00:12:55,842 --> 00:12:59,277 I made contact with the mother and asked her to bring the girls 208 00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:00,911 To the children's advocacy center 209 00:13:00,913 --> 00:13:02,413 So that I could interview them there. 210 00:13:06,018 --> 00:13:07,585 [narrator] a few hours later, 211 00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:12,523 The two girls and their mother come in for an interview. 212 00:13:12,592 --> 00:13:15,593 [shannon] with interviewing children, 213 00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:18,529 We don't jump right into the topic of concern. 214 00:13:18,598 --> 00:13:19,531 We build some rapport. 215 00:13:19,599 --> 00:13:21,999 Go over some ground rules about how the interview's 216 00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:23,701 Gonna happen. 217 00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:26,137 The girls were obviously scared and upset. 218 00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:30,141 It was actually heartbreaking. 219 00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:32,910 The older sister had the most information. 220 00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,279 She heard and saw a lot. 221 00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:37,681 She knew something bad had happened. 222 00:13:37,751 --> 00:13:40,184 She woke up to her dad yelling, 223 00:13:40,252 --> 00:13:42,620 And the sound of something crashing 224 00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:44,422 At five o'clock in the morning. 225 00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:45,924 She's afraid to leave the room. 226 00:13:47,193 --> 00:13:49,227 [narrator] according to aaron's middle daughter, 227 00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:53,031 She and her sister eventually fell back to sleep. 228 00:13:53,033 --> 00:13:55,499 Ultimately, at 6:15, she gets up 229 00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:59,336 Because she needs to get up and go to school. 230 00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:02,440 And she comes out into the living room 231 00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:06,277 And goes to the couch and puts her hand on the couch. 232 00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:09,213 And when she takes her hand away, it's bloody. 233 00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:11,249 She turned on the light 234 00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:14,585 And was shocked because there was blood everywhere. 235 00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:18,089 She used her dad's phone next to the couch 236 00:14:18,157 --> 00:14:22,426 To get the phone number for her dad's girlfriend. 237 00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:24,595 And she called and asked her to come over. 238 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,832 [narrator] but aaron's daughter reveals 239 00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:32,603 That while she was hiding out in her and her sister's room, 240 00:14:32,605 --> 00:14:38,276 She recognized a familiar voice coming from the living room. 241 00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:41,412 [shannon] the older sister tells me during the interview 242 00:14:41,481 --> 00:14:45,082 That after the crash with her dad, she hears gavin. 243 00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:49,020 [narrator] detectives learn that gavin macfarlane 244 00:14:49,088 --> 00:14:53,124 Is ellie's 19-year-old ex-boyfriend. 245 00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:54,759 [shannon] she's concerned because 246 00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:58,529 She knows that gavin's not allowed to be at the house . 247 00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:02,099 She told me that he was a, quote, "mysterious person" 248 00:15:02,168 --> 00:15:04,135 And that her dad hated him. 249 00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:05,936 At this point, we were trying to find 250 00:15:05,938 --> 00:15:07,605 More information about gavin. 251 00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:14,645 I first met gavin my freshman year of high school 252 00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,180 At south medford. 253 00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:20,384 Gavin was older than ellie and was already graduated. 254 00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:24,422 I just kind of remember seeing ellie and gavin hanging out 255 00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:27,991 Despite no longer being a student there. 256 00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:31,095 He just kind of had a specific kind of--like, a darker vibe, 257 00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:33,665 Like mystique surrounding gavin 258 00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:37,501 I would see gavin, like, waiting outside the front, 259 00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:39,637 Kind of where the parents, the staff parking lot, 260 00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:41,405 Where parents come to pick up their kids. 261 00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,775 He'd be hanging out there with a skateboard, 262 00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:45,309 And then ellie would come out to meet him, 263 00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,445 And they would walk off, 264 00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:50,381 You know, into the town together. 265 00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:53,484 They definitely seemed like a happy couple. 266 00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:56,587 Ellie seemed almost head over heels for him. 267 00:15:59,492 --> 00:16:01,325 [narrator] ellie's father, on the other hand, 268 00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:03,093 Wasn't happy when he learned 269 00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:06,730 About his daughter's relationship. 270 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,502 [curtis] aaron would tell me that the guy is a bad seed 271 00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:14,572 And not a good influence on ellie, 272 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,975 Because ellie was doing very well in school. 273 00:16:18,044 --> 00:16:22,046 She was doing her band and everything. 274 00:16:22,115 --> 00:16:24,615 But I think gavin held her back 275 00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:28,519 [shannon] ellie had recently gotten into trouble for lying 276 00:16:28,588 --> 00:16:31,022 About where she was at on the weekends. 277 00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,857 She had told her dad that she was staying with a friend, 278 00:16:33,859 --> 00:16:37,561 And her dad found out that she was actually at gavin's house. 279 00:16:42,602 --> 00:16:44,568 [narrator] ellie's mother tells detectives 280 00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,939 That aaron had forbidden their daughter from dating gavin, 281 00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:52,310 Leading to a tense confrontatio outside gavin's home 282 00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:55,746 Only a month before aaron and ellie went missing. 283 00:16:58,884 --> 00:17:01,152 [bill] about a month prior, 284 00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:03,887 Gavin macfarlane calls the police department 285 00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:07,825 To report that aaron friar is at his residence 286 00:17:07,893 --> 00:17:10,194 Threatening to kill him. 287 00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:11,863 We respond over to the residence, 288 00:17:11,931 --> 00:17:14,465 An officer does, makes contact. 289 00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:16,400 And aaron's saying, "yeah, I'm upset. 290 00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:18,702 "he's nineteen years old, my daughter's fifteen. 291 00:17:18,771 --> 00:17:21,272 "I've told him I don't want him around my daughter, 292 00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:23,307 "but yet, he keeps coming around my daughter, 293 00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:27,177 And he's involved in a relationship with her." 294 00:17:27,179 --> 00:17:30,514 [narrator] the animosity between aaron and gavin suggests 295 00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:33,651 A clear motive to detectives. 296 00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,853 [bill] we don't even know 100% sure 297 00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:38,189 Who's been injured at the residence 298 00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:39,923 Because there's blood on a couch, 299 00:17:39,993 --> 00:17:44,061 It's not in a bed, in a certain person's bedroom. 300 00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:47,765 But we kind of figured that something had happened 301 00:17:47,834 --> 00:17:50,534 To aaron and ellie 302 00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:53,637 And that it, more than likely involved ellie's boyfriend. 303 00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:00,978 Ellie's mom was understandably worried, 304 00:18:01,047 --> 00:18:05,182 And the girls were worried and extremely tired. 305 00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:07,050 After I was done, interviewing the girls, 306 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:08,419 I talked to their mom. 307 00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,154 And I just said, 308 00:18:10,222 --> 00:18:12,190 "as soon as I have updates for you, I'll let you know." 309 00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:21,332 We had every patrol officer, every individual in the county, 310 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,001 Everyone's looking for this missing vehicle 311 00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:25,536 That belonged to aaron. 312 00:18:26,872 --> 00:18:31,675 Very quickly our officers find it up in east medford, 313 00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:34,111 Parked on the street. 314 00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,880 [narrator] unfortunately, there's no sign of aaron, 315 00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:38,783 Ellie, or gavin... 316 00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:42,587 And a sweep of the vehicle turns up no evidence. 317 00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:46,691 Detectives focus all efforts on locating gavin immediately. 318 00:18:49,695 --> 00:18:54,665 We began doing what's called a geofence or a geo-ping 319 00:18:54,734 --> 00:18:57,568 For the location of the cellphone. 320 00:18:57,637 --> 00:19:01,705 We have this phone ping going o on gavin macfarlane's phone. 321 00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:05,342 That phone ping leads us to a certain area of medford. 322 00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:11,048 [narrator] as officers scour the neighborhood 323 00:19:11,117 --> 00:19:15,920 Where gavin's phone last pinged there is a stunning development 324 00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:21,125 Detective jim williams was driving down barnett road, 325 00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:24,394 Which is a major thoroughfare, 326 00:19:24,396 --> 00:19:27,665 And he spots ellie friar 327 00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:31,402 Just walking down the street with gavin. 328 00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:35,072 [music] 329 00:19:42,715 --> 00:19:44,381 [music] [narrator] police in medford, oregon, 330 00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:47,518 Have just spotted missing perso ellie friar 331 00:19:47,587 --> 00:19:50,921 With her ex-boyfriend, gavin macfarlane. 332 00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:55,993 To authorities' surprise, ellie appears to be unharmed. 333 00:19:56,061 --> 00:20:00,998 I learned that gavin, ellie, and a third person had been located. 334 00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:06,136 [narrator] officers discover that the third person 335 00:20:06,138 --> 00:20:09,573 Is 22-year-old russell jones. 336 00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:13,410 [bill] I had been told that russell jones, ellie friar 337 00:20:13,479 --> 00:20:16,380 And gavin macfarlane were being brought 338 00:20:16,448 --> 00:20:18,449 To the medford police department. 339 00:20:18,785 --> 00:20:20,817 I already knew who russell was. 340 00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:24,121 I had had a prior case with russell jones. 341 00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:25,789 He was involved in a burglary, 342 00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:29,193 In taking his grandparents' property. 343 00:20:29,195 --> 00:20:30,761 Aaron's vehicle was found 344 00:20:30,829 --> 00:20:34,632 Very close to russell jones' grandparents' residence. 345 00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:40,003 [narrator] while ellie friar and gavin macfarlane refuse to talk 346 00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:43,707 Russell causes concern for law enforcement. 347 00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:04,362 He is a strange individual. 348 00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:05,663 Very talkative. 349 00:21:05,731 --> 00:21:08,065 Talks very fast, more than regular. 350 00:21:45,538 --> 00:21:47,972 [bill] it's now around 11:30 in the morning. 351 00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:52,276 All three subjects have been brought 352 00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,178 Into the medford police department. 353 00:21:57,416 --> 00:21:59,216 [bill] we separate all three of them. 354 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:06,057 [bill] they're all placed in different interview rooms. 355 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,127 Obviously, you don't want people talking to each other. 356 00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:14,564 [narrator] while the three teenagers 357 00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:16,766 Wait to speak with detectives, 358 00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:20,037 Russell's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre. 359 00:23:16,662 --> 00:23:19,363 [narrator] when detectives enter the interrogation room, 360 00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:22,265 Russell's demeanor appears to shift, 361 00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:24,802 And he's willing to cooperate. 362 00:23:45,891 --> 00:23:47,991 [narrator] in an interview room down the hall, 363 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,562 Another detective meets with ellie friar. 364 00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:53,463 [stephanie] I was assigned to interview ellie. 365 00:23:53,465 --> 00:23:55,999 And she's small. She's petite. 366 00:25:15,614 --> 00:25:17,915 It was important for me to let her talk. 367 00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:19,816 To establish a rapport. 368 00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:21,885 To ask open-ended questions. 369 00:25:21,887 --> 00:25:24,254 And that's kind of what I tried to do from the beginning. 370 00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:56,987 [narrator] ellie outlines that she had shared 371 00:25:57,056 --> 00:26:01,158 This allegation of abuse with her boyfriend, gavin. 372 00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:03,460 [bill] ellie just wanted her dad out of her life 373 00:26:03,529 --> 00:26:06,896 So she could be with gavin. 374 00:26:06,898 --> 00:26:10,533 And gavin gets his buddy russell involved in it, 375 00:26:10,603 --> 00:26:12,469 And russell's the protector. 376 00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:17,140 [stephanie] according to ellie, 377 00:26:17,209 --> 00:26:20,644 She had been removing items of hers from her home, 378 00:26:20,712 --> 00:26:21,711 Putting 'em outside, 379 00:26:21,713 --> 00:26:23,413 And then gavin would come and pick 'em up 380 00:26:23,482 --> 00:26:24,781 And take 'em to his home. 381 00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:33,090 [narrator] ellie explains that the night before, 382 00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:35,659 She planned to sneak out of her home. 383 00:26:35,727 --> 00:26:37,160 But when gavin and russell 384 00:26:37,229 --> 00:26:40,497 Arrived outside her bedroom

with a machete. 408 00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:58,468 Ellie, to me, was portraying herself at points as a victim. 409 00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,272 She was acting like 410 00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:05,041 She didn't know a lot about what had happened. 411 00:29:10,615 --> 00:29:12,783 [narrator] detective bill ford confronts russell 412 00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:15,018 With ellie's claims. 413 00:29:15,087 --> 00:29:17,020 [bill] he ends up telling us that 414 00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:18,555 The night prior, around midnight, 415 00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:21,691 He wanted to help try to get ellie out of a bad situation 416 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,026 With her father. 417 00:29:23,095 --> 00:29:25,462 So, he had been living with gavin at the time. 418 00:29:39,478 --> 00:29:41,612 [bill] he had a machete on him outside the house 419 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,180 In case something bad happened. 420 00:29:44,249 --> 00:29:46,283 He told us that him and gavin 421 00:29:46,351 --> 00:29:48,786 Were gonna take ellie back to gavin's 422 00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:51,188 And ellie was going to live with gavin. 423 00:30:08,173 --> 00:30:10,640 [narrator] but what russell says happened next stands 424 00:30:10,709 --> 00:30:14,178 In stark contrast to ellie's version of events. 425 00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,705 [bill] he tells us that a bat was used, 426 00:30:42,707 --> 00:30:45,141 That gavin's the one that used the bat. 427 00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:48,411 That aaron was on the couch 428 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,281 When gavin assaulted him and killed him. 429 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:53,483 It's just, like, strangest thing ever. 430 00:30:53,552 --> 00:30:56,452 He's not emotional, he's not upset. 431 00:30:56,522 --> 00:30:59,556 It's all like matter of fact, like it's just another day. 432 00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:17,074 He tells us his only involvement, 433 00:31:17,142 --> 00:31:21,478 His only involvement was helping gavin 434 00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:24,014 Remove the body out of the house, 435 00:31:24,082 --> 00:31:25,982 Put him in the tarp, 436 00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:30,753 Put it in the trunk of the car, of aaron's car, 437 00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:32,489 And then ultimately 438 00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:34,691 Taking the body out to the county 439 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,126 And dumping the body. 440 00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:44,434 [narrator] russell agrees to take detectives to the location 441 00:31:44,502 --> 00:31:47,270 Where they dumped aaron friar's body. 442 00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,040 He directs us down highway 140. 443 00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,210 We come back on a road called antelope road. 444 00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:55,679 And he takes us about, 445 00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:58,381 I think it was seven, eight miles up the road. 446 00:31:58,450 --> 00:32:01,818 And he tells us, "stop here." 447 00:32:01,820 --> 00:32:04,221 He tells us the body's right of the edge of the bank. 448 00:32:07,192 --> 00:32:10,126 We get out, we look down the bank. 449 00:32:10,195 --> 00:32:12,995 We see a green tarp rolled up, 450 00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:15,398 Foot hanging out of the tarp, 451 00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:17,634 About 50 feet down the embankment. 452 00:32:19,504 --> 00:32:23,240 [narrator] as a team is called in to recover aaron's body, 453 00:32:23,308 --> 00:32:27,377 Russell points out a key piece of evidence. 454 00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,348 About 10 to 15 feet up in a tree, 455 00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:34,084 Kind of located behind the body, 456 00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:36,186 Russell says, "see the bat right there?" 457 00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:38,721 And I'm looking, and I'm like, 458 00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,425 "holy smokes, the bat did get hung up in a branch." 459 00:32:54,706 --> 00:32:57,440 [bill] he had told us that ellie had thrown the bat, 460 00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:59,042 And he kind of snickers and laughs 461 00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,610 That ellie had such a good arm, 462 00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:03,746 And it was kind of comical to him 463 00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:08,184 That the bat had been caught up in a bare tree branch. 464 00:33:08,253 --> 00:33:11,187 It was really kind of surreal. 465 00:33:11,256 --> 00:33:14,124 [narrator] when police recover aaron friar's body, 466 00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:16,126 A preliminary examination 467 00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:19,162 Reveals that he died of blunt force trauma, 468 00:33:19,230 --> 00:33:22,532 Which is consistent with russell's account. 469 00:33:22,601 --> 00:33:27,136 He had sustained massive trauma to the brain and the skull. 470 00:33:27,206 --> 00:33:29,472 [narrator] the discovery undermines ellie's story 471 00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:32,475 That her dad was attacked with a machete. 472 00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:36,846 Detectives return to the police department, 473 00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:39,416 Where they confront gavin macfarlane. 474 00:34:01,906 --> 00:34:04,941 [narrator] that's when gavin reveals the real reason 475 00:34:05,009 --> 00:34:07,410 Why he needed to help ellie. 476 00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:13,683 [narrator] according to gavin, 477 00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:17,654 Ellie had confided in him about her father's alleged abus 478 00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:18,955 The day before. 479 00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:34,537 Gavin was loyal and kind of ride-or-die. 480 00:34:34,606 --> 00:34:36,606 He would absolutely go along 481 00:34:36,675 --> 00:34:39,209 With pretty much any sort of crazy plan. 482 00:34:56,795 --> 00:34:59,562 [bill] he said it's very dark inside this residence. 483 00:35:00,365 --> 00:35:02,499 He trips on a plastic bin. 484 00:35:04,236 --> 00:35:05,935 It makes some noise. 485 00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:07,504 It wakes dad up. 486 00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:18,248 [bill] he demonstrated for us 487 00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:20,217 That he took that bat with two hands, 488 00:35:20,219 --> 00:35:22,485 That he came up over the top of him, 489 00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:27,357 And that he drove the bat into his head 5 to 6 times. 490 00:35:37,903 --> 00:35:39,802 He kept saying, you know, I didn't mean to kill him. 491 00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:41,071 I didn't want to kill him. 492 00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:44,607 Well, somebody takes a bat with two hands, an aluminum bat, 493 00:35:44,676 --> 00:35:46,442 And swings it up over the top of him. 494 00:35:46,511 --> 00:35:47,844 Anybody should, in their right mind, 495 00:35:47,912 --> 00:35:49,746 Should know that that could cause death. 496 00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:05,361 [music] 497

00:36:17,874 That his girlfriend, ellie friar, 501 00:36:17,942 --> 00:36:21,611 Came up with the idea to murder her father, aaron. 502 00:36:50,976 --> 00:36:53,142 [narrator] when detectives confront ellie 503 00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:54,510 About gavin's claims, 504 00:36:54,579 --> 00:36:56,946 She continues to play innocent. 505 00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:22,071 In talking to ellie, it was super frustrating. 506 00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:23,739 I knew she was lying. 507 00:37:23,809 --> 00:37:26,276 There were nonverbal cues as well. 508 00:37:26,344 --> 00:37:28,511 Like trying to be distracting, 509 00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,614 Like drinking the water, like coughing. 510 00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:48,765 Once she started realizing 511 00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:51,601 That we were putting the pieces of the puzzle together, 512 00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:53,636 Then she was becoming more truthful 513 00:37:53,705 --> 00:37:55,739 About what had happened. 514 00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:29,505 She was admitting at least some of her part in the homicide. 515 00:38:29,507 --> 00:38:31,040 I think that was a turning point. 516 00:38:33,211 --> 00:38:35,878 It was a very violent death. 517 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:41,050 I think ellie definitely knew how violent of a death it was, 518 00:38:41,052 --> 00:38:44,620 And she was still blasé about the whole thing. 519 00:38:44,689

00:39:24,427 I was floored. 525 00:39:24,495 --> 00:39:27,864 What happened with aaron was such a, a shock. 526 00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:31,101 I believe all of medford was definitely shaken up. 527 00:39:32,503 --> 00:39:34,337 [curtis] I just couldn't believe it. 528 00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:37,907 You know, little girl ellie, you know, I couldn't believe it. 529 00:39:39,344 --> 00:39:41,978 [narrator] as authorities continue building their case, 530 00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:45,915 They learn that ellie friar is not pregnant. 531 00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:47,784 They also find no evidence 532 00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:51,321 That she was ever abused by her father. 533 00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,289 During the course of the investigation, 534 00:39:53,357 --> 00:39:57,393 We never found any

00:40:07,603 [bill] ellie's a manipulator. 538 00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:12,341 I think, even though she's 15, she's 15 going on 20. 539 00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:14,377 She wanted things in her life, 540 00:40:14,445 --> 00:40:16,545 And she wanted them to be a certain way. 541 00:40:16,615 --> 00:40:17,613 [ellen] I think that they had, like, 542 00:40:17,682 --> 00:40:19,949 This romeo and juliet situation 543 00:40:20,018 --> 00:40:23,019 Where ellie and gavin wanted to be together, 544 00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,288 But everybody was telling them they couldn't be. 545 00:40:27,725 --> 00:40:31,294 [bill] ellie wanted her dad killed, 546 00:40:31,362 --> 00:40:34,330 And that was a way for them to be together as a couple. 547 00:40:40,905 --> 00:40:42,504 [narrator] when detectives

planned aaron's death together. 551 00:40:51,049 --> 00:40:54,651 [bill] we found letters, drawings, 552 00:40:54,653 --> 00:40:57,954 Written-out documents by gavin, lots of 'em, 553 00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:00,990 About planning different ways to do this. 554 00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:06,162 I mean, this was a cold, calculated, preplanned homicide. 555 00:41:07,865 --> 00:41:09,399 [stephanie] and also, we had a search warrant 556 00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:11,467 For cell phone text conversations 557 00:41:11,535 --> 00:41:16,772 That she was having with russel and gavin about killing her dad 558 00:41:16,841 --> 00:41:19,809 There was talk of getting chloroform, 559 00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:23,045 Putting it over aaron's face, knocking him out, 560 00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:25,848 Putting him in a

563 00:41:32,423 --> 00:41:34,690 And kill him there. 564 00:41:34,759 --> 00:41:38,260 Russell has this beat-up old motor home, 565 00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:41,163 And they were going to make their way
