00:24:18,422 to make sure that that family is okay. 402 00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:22,393 [Stevan] When the Westfall' are notified of the shootin at the church, 403 00:24:22,395 --> 00:24:25,229 Paul Westfall has a seizure 404 00:24:25,231 --> 00:24:28,732 and is required to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. 405 00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:34,104 [Weatherford] The rest of the Westfall family, were willing to come 406 00:24:34,106 --> 00:24:37,308 with investigators to the sheriff's office, 407 00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:40,411 to visit, uh, to speak with him. 408 00:24:40,413 --> 00:24:45,616 And, yeah, Kristen was very forthcoming, uh, with investigators 409 00:24:45,618 --> 00:24:50,120 as to the fact that her and Nathan had not been getting along. 410 00:25:06,606 --> 00:25:10,508 Kristen had told investigators that on the morning of the shooting 411 00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:15,379 that her and her father had driven to a nearby stor 412 00:25:15,381 --> 00:25:17,548 probably 12 miles away. 413 00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:36,934 Deputies then interviewed Paul Westfall at the hospital 414 00:25:36,936 --> 00:25:39,236 after he had recovered from his seizure. 415 00:25:42,308 --> 00:25:46,243 Paul Westfall was very cooperative. 416 00:25:46,345 --> 00:25:52,149 [Weatherford] He also voluntarily submitted to a gunshot residue kit tes 417 00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:57,755 And that was simply to check to see if he had fired any weapons that day. 418 00:25:57,823 --> 00:26:02,226 The report read inconclusive, meaning they couldn't determine 419 00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:06,864 whether he had, or had not recently fired a weapon. 420 00:26:15,508 --> 00:26:19,209 We received the coroner's report. 421 00:26:19,211 --> 00:26:25,282 We learned that, um, that Nathan had been shot twice. 422 00:26:25,284 --> 00:26:28,419 He had been shot, not only in the head, 423 00:26:28,421 --> 00:26:33,924 but he had also been shot in the mid-torso, hip area. 424 00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:39,530 And we learned that it appeared to come from a shotgun. 425 00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:44,835 Uh, so we know now that, "Hey, we've got two shooters." 426 00:26:52,378 --> 00:26:56,880 About a month later, on March 7, 2014, 427 00:26:56,882 --> 00:27:01,218 Christopher Eaves comes to the sheriff's department and gives a statement. 428 00:27:02,922 --> 00:27:08,058 Eaves tells investigators that he's at the Westfall home one night, 429 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,262 and Paul says, "Hey, when are y'all gonna take care of this for me? 430 00:27:12,331 --> 00:27:16,700 I need y'all to take out Nathan and Krystal." 431 00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:46,163 Paul was angry and upset 432 00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:50,901 at the fact that Maddie would not always be at the house 433 00:27:50,903 --> 00:27:52,903 in their control. 434 00:27:52,905 --> 00:27:57,708 And that Nathan was winning in the custody battle over Maddie. 435 00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:00,744 [Weatherford] At this point 436 00:28:00,746 --> 00:28:05,115 we feel that we have enough evidence against the Westfall family. 437 00:28:05,117 --> 00:28:08,152 The Tyler County grand jury meets. 438 00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:11,622 Four indictments are handed down 439 00:28:11,624 --> 00:28:17,127 against Paul, Kristen, Letha, and Cameron Westfall 440 00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:20,664 for engaging in organized criminal activity. 441 00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:26,437 [Stevan] Deputies convened upon the Westfall house 442 00:28:26,505 --> 00:28:29,106 to arrest all four family members. 443 00:28:30,309 --> 00:28:33,744 When we arrived, the residence was empty. 444 00:28:33,846 --> 00:28:38,716 We had just missed the Westfall family by a few minutes. 445 00:28:40,152 --> 00:28:45,622 We observed a car matching the Westfall's vehicle 446 00:28:45,624 --> 00:28:47,858 turn into the county road. 447 00:28:49,829 --> 00:28:55,833 [Weatherford] Our senses are heightened, and I activa my emergency lights, 448 00:28:55,901 --> 00:29:01,038 and the vehicle continues to travel on down the county road. 449 00:29:01,107 --> 00:29:05,008 [Stevan] The vehicle pulled into the Mount Carmel Baptist Church. 450 00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:09,046 [Weatherford] We have 'em exit the vehicle. 451 00:29:09,048 --> 00:29:12,616 [Stevan] We handcuff 'em, I cover the vehicle with a gun. 452 00:29:14,053 --> 00:29:17,721 The Westfall's were lying handcuffed on the ground, 453 00:29:17,723 --> 00:29:21,625 approximately 10 feet from where the murders occurred. 454 00:29:21,627 --> 00:29:27,965 [Weatherford] Paul Westfall, at that point begins to have a seizure. 455 00:29:28,033 --> 00:29:30,234 [Stevan] An ambulance was called to the scene, 456 00:29:30,302 --> 00:29:32,402 and Paul was taken into custody, 457 00:29:32,404 --> 00:29:36,006 and carried directly to the hospital for medical treatment. 458 00:29:36,008 --> 00:29:38,942 It was just a relief to us, that, 459 00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:41,812 that we had the Westfalls, and they were in custody. 460 00:29:44,216 --> 00:29:49,086 [narrator] Investigators interview Cameron Westfall at the sheriff's office. 461 00:29:49,088 --> 00:29:51,622 They question him about Christopher Eaves claim 462 00:29:51,624 --> 00:29:54,525 that the Westfall's discussed killing Nathan. 463 00:30:24,957 --> 00:30:29,092 Later that night, investigators question Cameron's sister, 464 00:30:29,094 --> 00:30:33,530 Kristen Westfall, about the alleged plot to kill Nathan and Krystal. 465 00:31:12,404 --> 00:31:15,239 [Weatherford] Late into the night, and the early morning, 466 00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:18,508 investigators continue to speak with the Westfalls. 467 00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:20,644 They speak with Letha. 468 00:31:50,042 --> 00:31:51,508 [Weatherford] The next day, 469 00:31:51,510 --> 00:31:54,711 Paul Westfall is released from the Tyler County Hospital. 470 00:31:54,713 --> 00:31:56,813 Investigators speak with him. 471 00:32:03,489 --> 00:32:05,522 [Weatherford] Paul maintains his innocence. 472 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:09,760 As they're talking with Paul, they begin to tell him, and, 473 00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:13,430 and explain to him, the severity and the punishment 474 00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:17,000 that his 17-year-old son, Cameron, 475 00:32:17,002 --> 00:32:19,136 could face for the rest of his young life. 476 00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:35,319 Investigators are hoping to play on Paul's emotion, 477 00:32:35,321 --> 00:32:39,423 to get him to open up to investigators. 478 00:32:39,425 --> 00:32:43,026 [narrator] Paul returns to his cell, after his interview. 479 00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:44,695 [Weatherford] Approximately three hours later, 480 00:32:44,697 --> 00:32:47,931 Paul requests to talk to the investigators again. 481 00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:54,705 At that very moment, Paul admits he shot Nathan. 482 00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:13,623 [Stevan] This was a breakthrough moment. 483 00:33:14,727 --> 00:33:18,962 Paul is pressed on who the second shooter is. 484 00:33:23,736 --> 00:33:29,306 Eventually, Paul admits that it was his daughter, Kristen, 485 00:33:29,308 --> 00:33:34,945 was the second shooter that shot Nathan with a 20-gauge shotgun. 486 00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:09,212 It verified what we initially thought. 487 00:34:09,214 --> 00:34:11,348 With him being involved with the family, 488 00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:16,420 we had no idea until that point who the actual shooters were. 489 00:34:16,422 --> 00:34:19,289 There was joy for just a minute, 490 00:34:19,291 --> 00:34:22,459 but we knew that this case was far from over. 491 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,403 [narrator] Five days later, investigators reveal Paul's confession to Letha. 492 00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:36,339 She admits that she did hea her husband threaten to kil 493 00:34:36,441 --> 00:34:38,608 Nathan before the murders. 494 00:35:03,802 --> 00:35:08,705 [Weatherford] Letha asked investigators if she can wri a note to her son, Cameron, 495 00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:11,007 to be honest with investigators. 496 00:35:11,009 --> 00:35:15,312 Tell him everything he knows about what happened 497 00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:18,315 pertaining to the murders of Nathan and Krystal. 498 00:35:20,319 --> 00:35:23,954 [narrator] Cameron Westfall reads his mom's letter. 499 00:35:23,956 --> 00:35:28,692 Two days later, he tells investigators that he dispos of the murder weapons 500 00:35:28,694 --> 00:35:31,061 on the orders of his father, Paul. 501 00:35:54,353 --> 00:35:57,154 Police divers recover a 20-gauge shotgun, 502 00:35:57,222 --> 00:35:59,823 and a .30-30 rifle, and ammunition 503 00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:02,526 from a pond near to the Westfall's property. 504 00:36:03,428 --> 00:36:08,365 This ammo was sent to the forensic lab, 505 00:36:08,433 --> 00:36:13,603 and it was determined that the .30-30 shells were from the same make, 506 00:36:13,605 --> 00:36:18,241 and lot number as the shell that was found at the crime site. 507 00:36:20,112 --> 00:36:24,414 [Weatherford] Letha was adamant, she had nothing to do with this. 508 00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:27,918 Kristen, very adamant she had nothing to do with this. 509 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,956 But Paul had identified Kristen as the second shoote 510 00:36:34,393 --> 00:36:38,795 We wanted to be methodical about this investigation 511 00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:43,633 to make sure that these individuals were brought to justice. 512 00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:57,280 We had the phone companies preserve text messages 513 00:36:57,282 --> 00:37:02,152 of the Westfall's phones, and were able to recover 514 00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:08,959 messages sent from Letha, and Paul, and Kristen's phone 515 00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:11,761 on the day of the murder, at the time of the murder. 516 00:37:15,734 --> 00:37:19,836 [Weatherford] The day of the murder, 9:04 a.m., 517 00:37:21,707 --> 00:37:25,642 Letha, she sends a text to Kristen, 518 00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:30,213 it states, "They are here." 519 00:37:30,215 --> 00:37:35,318 11:09, Letha sends another text message to Kristen, 520 00:37:37,222 --> 00:37:39,522 stating, "Get in place." 521 00:37:42,261 --> 00:37:47,664 Getting this information was a breakthrough moment. 522 00:37:47,733 --> 00:37:53,503 It showed that Letha was involved, and actually probably in command 523 00:37:53,505 --> 00:37:56,606 of carrying this out by the giving of the orders. 524 00:37:58,310 --> 00:38:02,512 These text messages just brought to the forefront 525 00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:06,549 exactly what we were thinking from the very beginning. 526 00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,619 That all the Westfalls were involved in this case. 527 00:38:11,423 --> 00:38:13,623 [narrator] Investigators pie together the events 528 00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:17,560 that led to the murders of Nathan and Krystal. 529 00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:21,298 [Stevan] Nathan, Krystal, Letha, and Maddie are at the church 530 00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:27,037 Marie Winters volunteered to be at the visitation. 531 00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,640 The visitation at the churc was the last visitation 532 00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:33,843 before Maddie was able to go to stay 533 00:38:33,912 --> 00:38:37,714 with Nathan and Krystal without supervision. 534 00:38:38,717 --> 00:38:41,351 So this was the Westfall's last chance 535 00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:45,255 to kill Nathan and Krystal before Maddie was out 536 00:38:45,357 --> 00:38:48,124 of their control and custody. 537 00:38:49,961 --> 00:38:54,264 Paul and Kristen had parked their vehicle 538 00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:58,034 down a dirt road close to the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 539 00:38:58,103 --> 00:39:02,005 and at that point they walked through the woods. 540 00:39:03,608 --> 00:39:06,042 [Stevan] They hid on the sou side of the church 541 00:39:06,044 --> 00:39:10,814 until Letha Westfall told them to get in place. 542 00:39:10,816 --> 00:39:15,919 They knew exactly what time Nathan and Krystal would be leaving. 543 00:39:15,921 --> 00:39:20,724 When Krystal came out first carrying Maddie's coloring, 544 00:39:20,726 --> 00:39:26,963 and toys, and personal belongings, Paul Westfall shot her in the head. 545 00:39:27,032 --> 00:39:28,130 [gunshot] 546 00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:32,736 [Weatherford] Nathan, following her out, 547 00:39:32,804 --> 00:39:36,005 was shot once in the hip by Kristen. 548 00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:38,240 [gunshot] 549 00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:46,616 As he fell near the front entrance of the church, 550 00:39:46,618 --> 00:39:50,253 Paul walked up within point blank range, 551 00:39:50,355 --> 00:39:53,656 and shot Nathan, execution-style, in the head. 552 00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:56,526 [gunshot] 553 00:39:56,528 --> 00:40:02,265 After Paul and Kristen had carried out these horrendous murders, 554 00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:04,634 they traveled back home. 555 00:40:04,703 --> 00:40:08,805 And that's when Paul had Cameron 556 00:40:08,807 --> 00:40:12,008 to dispose of the weapons and evidence. 557 00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:19,949 [narrator] Letha Westfall pleads guilty to capital murder in May, 2016. 558 00:40:20,018 --> 00:40:26,089 The judge sentences her to life in prison with a minimum of 28 years. 559 00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:31,461 [Weatherford] Paul Westfall pleads guilty to two counts of first degree murder. 560 00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:34,864 He is sentenced to life in prison without parole. 561 00:40:36,134 --> 00:40:40,136 Cameron Westfall also pleads guilty, 562 00:40:40,205 --> 00:40:45,108 he receives ten years in prison for tampering with physical evidence. 563 00:40:47,045 --> 00:40:49,712 [Stevan] Kristen Westfall was the only defendant 564 00:40:49,714 --> 00:40:52,315 that took her case to trial by jury. 565 00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:57,754 On August the 18th, 2016, 566 00:40:57,823 --> 00:41:03,326 Kristen Westfall was found guilty on two counts of capital murder, 567 00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:08,164 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. 568 00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,603 [narrator] The chaperone for the visitation, Marie Winters, 569 00:41:13,605 --> 00:41:16,339 was unaware of the Westfall's plan. 570 00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:20,043 And she was not involved in the murders of Nathan and Krystal. 571 00:41:25,417 --> 00:41:27,083 They'd still be together today, 572 00:41:27,085 --> 00:41:31,521 the household would still be whole, and we'd probably have little Maddie. 573 00:41:31,523 --> 00:41:35,959 I want them to be remembered, for what they could have been, not what they did become. 574 00:41:37,729 --> 00:41:39,429 [Rhonda sniffling] And I promised Krystal 575 00:41:39,431 --> 00:41:44,300 that if anything happened to her, that I would take care of these kids. 576 00:41:44,302 --> 00:41:48,204 And I've done my best to do that, and I do it all for her. 577 00:41:50,208 --> 00:41:51,607 [Jim] I think that the main thing 578 00:41:51,610 --> 00:41:55,411 that I would like people to remember about Nathan and Krystal, 579 00:41:55,413 --> 00:42:00,283 is that they were very committed to doing it right. 580 00:42:00,285 -->
