--> 00:33:26,503 And then he stops at race track, local gas station over here, 480 00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:27,704 about five minutes from their home. 481 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,108 About 4:15 or so... 482 00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:37,447 ...the officers retrieved surveillance footage from the race track gas station 483 00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:40,117 just up the road from their home there in Azle. 484 00:33:41,453 --> 00:33:44,521 And in that video, Mark pumps gas, 485 00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:47,024 comes into the store, 486 00:33:47,026 --> 00:33:53,930 and it's extremely suspiciou because it's not just a wal in, pay for cigarettes and g 487 00:33:53,932 --> 00:33:58,301 He walks in, stops and basically turns to every corner of the stor 488 00:33:58,303 --> 00:34:03,573 as if, get my profile, this is gonna be my alibi, that I'm here at the store. 489 00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:07,110 [ADA Boneberg] The officers believe that Mark did this on purpose, 490 00:34:07,112 --> 00:34:11,648 put himself on video, sent that text message to Doris... 491 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:16,820 ...all in constructing this, uh, scene in creating his alibi. 492 00:34:16,822 --> 00:34:21,525 [narrator] Mark leaves the gas station shortly after 4:15 AM. 493 00:34:21,527 --> 00:34:24,161 The 911 call goes out at 4:37 in the morning. 494 00:34:25,531 --> 00:34:29,332 It was less than a five minute drive to his house. 495 00:34:29,401 --> 00:34:32,035 [Rizy] So there's a large amount of time unaccounted for. 496 00:34:32,604 --> 00:34:34,070 He never addressed that. 497 00:34:35,941 --> 00:34:39,142 Very quickly, the investigating detective surmised 498 00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:42,012 that, uh, Mark Andrews was the offender in this cas 499 00:34:45,217 --> 00:34:50,954 [narrator] Investigators charge Mark Andrews with the murder of his wife, Dori 500 00:34:51,023 --> 00:34:55,525 Mark's reaction to his arrest for the, uh, offensive killing of Doris 501 00:34:55,527 --> 00:34:57,327 was pretty much a flat affect. 502 00:34:58,163 --> 00:35:00,163 Except that he indicated he wasn't there. 503 00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:05,202 [narrator] Detectives search the couple's past for a possible motive. 504 00:35:07,406 --> 00:35:10,407 [Rizy] I know that in May of 2015, 505 00:35:10,409 --> 00:35:13,310 Doris had talked with some friends 506 00:35:13,312 --> 00:35:15,112 that she was concerned about Mark. 507 00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:16,513 He wasn't working. 508 00:35:16,515 --> 00:35:18,748 She was the sole provider of the family. 509 00:35:19,818 --> 00:35:23,120 He was very controlling of h and the girls. 510 00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:28,625 And Doris had voiced to a couple people that she was considering divorce. 511 00:35:29,895 --> 00:35:33,230 Following the, the big win in June of 2015, 512 00:35:33,232 --> 00:35:36,399 the family basically went on a spending spree. 513 00:35:36,401 --> 00:35:38,702 They bought a trailer for the ATV, 514 00:35:38,704 --> 00:35:42,205 the family took a vacation to Colorado for several days 515 00:35:43,609 --> 00:35:46,243 When we looked at his financial records, we could see 516 00:35:46,278 --> 00:35:49,813 that come November, he was getting to a point where he was pretty strapped for cash 517 00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:55,952 He considered himself a gambler, thought he was pretty, pretty good at it. 518 00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:58,555 Thought he could read number on, on cards. 519 00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:03,426 Unfortunately, uh, he wasn' all that good at it. 520 00:36:03,428 --> 00:36:08,732 By December, 2015, their bank accounts were back down to almost zero. 521 00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:11,635 [ADA Boneberg] That seemed suspicious. 522 00:36:13,405 --> 00:36:16,106 Mark was obviously on rocky ground. 523 00:36:24,049 --> 00:36:28,084 Law enforcement was able to obtain a number of days' footage, 524 00:36:28,086 --> 00:36:31,054 uh, of Mark in the months preceding Doris' murder. 525 00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,525 [Rizy] He had several different casinos he went to, 526 00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,961 but primarily to the WinStar in Oklahoma. 527 00:36:39,131 --> 00:36:41,531 He did quite a bit of gambling. 528 00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:46,303 He was making these large cash withdrawal to sustain his habit. 529 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,408 And he was losing it, most of the time. 530 00:36:53,946 --> 00:37:00,116 [ADA Boneberg] He had losse over, uh, $60,000 from WinStar. 531 00:37:02,221 --> 00:37:05,121 All of Doris and Mark's accounts were in the red. 532 00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:09,292 [Rizy] He refinanced the ca 533 00:37:09,294 --> 00:37:12,629 so that he could get some ready cash to be able to use to gamble 534 00:37:12,631 --> 00:37:16,700 He had also taken two guns to a pawn shop up in Springtown, 535 00:37:16,702 --> 00:37:18,735 so he could get additional $500. 536 00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:23,139 This is all indication that he was looking for, for money, 537 00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:25,942 looking for income to be abl to use in his, his gambling habit. 538 00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:31,114 And Mark needed a lot of mon to sustain his habit. 539 00:37:35,654 --> 00:37:37,020 Well, we looked at the records. 540 00:37:37,022 --> 00:37:40,657 We found that Doris had a, uh, insurance policy 541 00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:43,560 She changed the, the beneficiary to Mark. 542 00:37:43,629 --> 00:37:47,530 So that paid him about $365,000 in insurance money. 543 00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:53,203 The discovery of this $365,000 insurance 544 00:37:53,205 --> 00:37:56,940 is a
