00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:29,222    But she was at home            when she found herself          41 00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:32,759 face to face with                 a cold blooded killer.          42

00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:07,227  The dairy farms                   that once ran                  54 00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:10,130   all the way to the Everglades  are mostly gone.                 55

00:02:29,182 --> 00:02:31,184    out of a bad slasher movie.   62 00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:33,987  All that blood,                 all those wounds.                63 00:02:40,193 --> 00:02:43,196  It happened on                    September 8th, 2014.           64 00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:44,898 The night before,                Justin's parents                 65 00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:47,467 had returned from                   a trip to Malaysia.           66 00:02:47,567 --> 00:02:50,103 The next morning, his dad          shook off the jet lag          67 00:02:50,203 --> 00:02:52,305 and headed to his office            at the local campus           68 00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:55,341 of the University                   of Florida.                   69 00:02:55,441 --> 00:02:58,778   He's an entomologist,             a bug guy.                    70 00:02:58,878 --> 00:03:00,680   Justin's mom slept in             but was up                    71 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:03,716    when Justin left the house    around 9:30 that morning.        72 00:03:03,816 --> 00:03:05,518  - My mother was                    in the living room            73 00:03:05,618 --> 00:03:08,087 in her pink robe                    and she was reading a book.   74 00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,057    And I said, see you              when I get home from work.    75 00:03:11,157 --> 00:03:13,726  - Justin also worked part time    at the University of Florida   76 00:03:13,826 --> 00:03:15,628    as a professor's assistant.   77 00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:18,398    Shortly after noon, he got     a call from his father.         78 00:03:18,498 --> 00:03:21,034   - And the first thing          he asked me was,                 79 00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:22,402   are you-are you home              right now?                    80 00:03:22,502 --> 00:03:23,603    Like, are you home?           81 00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:26,406    I'm like, no, I'm at work.    82 00:03:26,506 --> 00:03:29,142    - The reason for the call,    from his office,                 83 00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:31,611   Justin's dad had seen          something unusual                84 00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:33,646    on a remote                   security camera.                 85 00:03:33,746 --> 00:03:35,348   - I just saw something weird.  86 00:03:35,448 --> 00:03:37,917    Uh, can you go home              and check, like, what's up?   87 00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:41,788 The cameras just went out          at the house.                  88 00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:44,490 And I'm like, uh,                 yeah, okay, no problem.         89 00:03:44,591 --> 00:03:46,259 - Justin's dad, Nan Yao.         90 00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:49,929  - Around 12:15,                 I thought                        91 00:03:50,029 --> 00:03:51,864   maybe I should check           the camera to see                92 00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,199   if it's still                   working or not.                 93 00:03:53,299 --> 00:03:54,701 - So the camera's                 kind of been flickering         94 00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:55,902  and then a reliability          95 00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:57,637   and you wanted to see             what was going on?            96 00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:58,938  - Yeah.                         97 00:03:59,038 --> 00:04:01,574   - The camera was in his house  near the kitchen.                98 00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:04,310    What he saw, and it wasn't    much more than a glimpse,        99 00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:07,580   was a live feed image          of a figure in the house.        100 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,151   - He walk in from the kitchen  toward the breakfast area        101 00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:16,155    and disappear from               the-the view of the camera.   102 00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:20,393   And next thing I know             is I lost my image.           103 00:04:20,493 --> 00:04:22,795  - He thought the figure         might be his son.                104 00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:25,498 But if it wasn't Justin,            who was it?                   105 00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:28,067  When he called his wife, Jill,   and she didn't pick up,         106 00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:29,969    he became alarmed.            107 00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:32,372 - I remember I sped home         108 00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:34,974  from my dad telling me           to go check on what's going on  109 00:04:35,074 --> 00:04:36,342    because the cameras           are out.                         110 00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,745   - Within 15 minutes,             he'd arrived.                  111 00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:40,213  The son went in                    through the garage            112 00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:43,149    and passed the dog            snoozing in the hallway.         113 00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:45,084 Just outside the kitchen,         he checked out                  114 00:04:45,184 --> 00:04:46,919    the first security camera.    115 00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:50,290   - And I see a camera              ripped out.                   116 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:51,958  I don't see the camera,            but I see the wire            117 00:04:52,058 --> 00:04:53,393  that's connected to it.         118 00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:54,594   - It has been                  messed with, huh?                119 00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,863  - It's been-- It's just         dangling from the thing.         120 00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:59,699 And I'm thinking,                   why is my mom going crazy?    121 00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:01,234   Wh-what's--?                   122 00:05:01,334 --> 00:05:03,803 Why is she, like,                ripping out the cameras?         123 00:05:03,903 --> 00:05:04,804   Is she okay?                    - You thought your mom          124 00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:06,139   accounted for                    the camera dangling?           125 00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:08,541  - Yeah, I mean                  that makes the most sense        126 00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:10,743   because the only other person  inside the house,                127 00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:12,145   is my mother.                  128 00:05:12,245 --> 00:05:14,781  - The living room cam?             The same, gone too.           129 00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:16,716   Just dangling wires.           130 00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:18,318  He made his way                  to his bedroom                  131 00:05:18,418 --> 00:05:20,853   where he says he saw             right away something was off.  132 00:05:20,953 --> 00:05:23,289 Someone had been                   in his stuff.                  133 00:05:23,389 --> 00:05:25,391  Justin, an avid hunter             and diver,                    134 00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:26,793  was a knife collector.          135 00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:28,394   Blades were missing.           136 00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:30,396   Now he says he could              hear water running            137 00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:31,798 in his parents bathroom.         138 00:05:31,898 --> 00:05:33,166 And there it was,                139 00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:36,102   the bathtub,                      red to the rim with blood.    140 00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:38,538    His mother's body,            floating.                        141 00:05:38,638 --> 00:05:40,206    - Her head is down,           142 00:05:40,306 --> 00:05:43,643    so her face is just              inside this bathtub           143 00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:46,979    that is completely               to the top,                   144 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,283  full of                            hot, bloody water.            145 00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:57,590  When you see something            so horrific,                   146 00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:59,592   there aren't words...          147 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,196 ...to comprehend.                148 00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:06,032    - He thought immediately of      his father, and called him.   149 00:06:06,132 --> 00:06:08,234  - I'm like, I think Mom          killed herself.                 150 00:06:08,334 --> 00:06:10,103   That's just the most,            at the time,                   151 00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:12,205  the most rational thing         to think.                        152 00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:14,040 He says,                           hang up, call 9-1-1.           153 00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:15,775    I remember saying,              like, oh, my God, no.          154 00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,644   Like, something just              absolute pure panic           155 00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:19,912   in his voice.                  156 00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:21,247   I call 9-1-1.                  157 00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:31,858   - A suicide.                    That's what he reported         158 00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:34,827    to both his father               and 9-1-1.                    159 00:06:34,927 --> 00:06:36,829   - I thought my mother          160 00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:38,598  killed herself                   at that point.                  161 00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:47,106 - You lifted her                  out of the tub?                 162 00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:48,174    - Yeah, lifted her             out of the tub.                 163 00:06:48,274 --> 00:06:51,043    I had blood                   all over my body.                164 00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:52,879  I started doing                   compressions on her,           165 00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,614 CPR or something                    like that.                    166 00:06:54,714 --> 00:06:55,915   - You weren't getting            flutters of anything?          167 00:06:56,015 --> 00:06:58,284   - Yeah, yeah, she was          so very far gone.                168 00:06:58,384 --> 00:07:00,086   I remember after doing that,   169 00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:02,655    just... pure shock,           170 00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,557   Just absolute terror.          171 00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:05,958   - And that's                   when he realized                 172 00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:08,261  he'd gotten it                   all very wrong.                 173 00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:10,096 Still on the line                  with the dispatcher,           174 00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,598 but now changing                    his story.                    175 00:07:12,698 --> 00:07:14,100  He saw that his mother          was bound                        176 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,602   and now told                   the 9-1-1 people                 177 00:07:16,702 --> 00:07:18,704 that this wasn't                 a suicide at all.                178 00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:19,972  It had to be a murder.          179 00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:34,520 - I'm looking at                  her hands now,                  180 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:37,256   and, like, her legs,           181 00:07:37,356 --> 00:07:40,993   and I realize                    they're bound, they're tied.   182 00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:42,895 Then it starts to click.         183 00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:45,364 I think somebody                 killed my mother.                184 00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,067  - Somebody who'd bound            her hands with a cloth belt,   185 00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:50,570   her feet with                     an electrical cord,           186 00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:52,738 then slashed away                  in a frenzy,                   187 00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,707   stabbing her                      more than 20 times.           188 00:07:56,275 --> 00:07:57,677 Davie Police were                  on their way                   189 00:07:57,777 --> 00:07:59,212   to secure the scene.           190 00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:01,280   Detectives followed,           and would soon be                191 00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:04,016    rolling their eyes              in disbelief.                  192 00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:06,919  How could the son have             thought this was a suicide?   193 00:08:07,019 --> 00:08:09,455   Weren't the multiple             stab wounds apparent?          194 00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:11,991  And investigators would           learn something else.          195 00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:14,126 The victim's maiden name         was Halliburton,                 196 00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:17,196  and she went by                   Jill Halliburton Su.           197 00:08:17,296 --> 00:08:19,932 She was the descendant of           a rich and prominent family   198 00:08:20,032 --> 00:08:22,168  in the American                   oil business.                  199 00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:24,837   So there was                     an early theory to run down.   200 00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:26,806 Maybe Jill Halliburton Su        201 00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:29,742   had been so brutally murdered   for her money.                  202 00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,644  It was                            way too soon to know.          203 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,681    - The crime scene horrifies   204 00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:38,584   even hardened                     homicide detectives           205 00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:41,254    and leaves                    a son shattered.                 206 00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,421   - Coming up.                   207 00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,190 - I remember sitting down          in the grass                   208 00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:46,592  and there's some mulch          right next to me,                209 00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:49,295    and I just started              punching it, like screaming.   210 00:08:49,395 --> 00:08:51,998  - Those same detectives          would soon have                 211 00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:54,300   some tough questions           for young Justin.                212 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,768 - That folding knife you           found, I understand,           213 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:56,903   belonged to the son,            is that right?                  214 00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:58,371  - Belonged to the son.

217 00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:06,579    - Ar                          218 00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:06,612    - Are                         219 00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:06,646    - Are yo

  that I've ever worked            in my, uh, 28 years.           244 00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,524   - When veteran Davie Homicide   detective Paul Williams         245 00:09:18,624 --> 00:09:20,092  arrived at the Su home,         246 00:09:20,192 --> 00:09:22,061  he wasn't sure                  whether he had a homicide        247 00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:23,462   or a suicide.                  248 00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,665   It had been called in             both ways.                    249 00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:27,667   Officers pointed out             the young man sitting          250 00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:29,569 in the grass as the son.         251 00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:31,037 He had found the victim.         252 00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:33,039 - I remember sitting down          in the grass                   253 00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:35,141  and there's some mulch          right next to me                 254 00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,509    and I just remember             looking at it                  255 00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:38,344 and just started                    punching it, like,            256 00:09:38,444 --> 00:09:41,147    just banging it, and stuff

his dad drove up.                259 00:09:47,019 --> 00:09:49,956    - And I saw Justin             sitting there.                  260 00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,390  And I tried to                   give him a hug.                 261 00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,760  He's totally in                 a state of shock.                262 00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:56,128  But immediate,                  police come to me                263 00:09:56,228 --> 00:09:58,264   and say, you can't--            you can't get near him.         264 00:09:58,364 --> 00:09:59,832 You two have to separate.        265 00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,000   - You can't get near             your own son?                  266 00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,235    - No, I really want              to give him a hug.            267 00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:05,972  They would not                   let me do that.                 268 00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,107 - Nan Yao may not                have realized it,                269 00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:09,308   but this was                   the first signal                 270 00:10:09,408 --> 00:10:10,977 that police were                 looking at Justin                271 00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:13,145  as a possible suspect.          272 00:10:13,245 --> 00:10:14,880   Meanwhile, Detective Williams    got a fill in                  273 00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:17,883  on what had already been found    that was of interest.          274 00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:19,418    At the front entry              to the house,                  275 00:10:19,518 --> 00:10:21,287  a folding knife                    had been recovered            276 00:10:21,387 --> 00:10:23,556   with what looked like          a trace of blood.                277 00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:25,124  And that folding knife          you found, I understand,         278 00:10:25,224 --> 00:10:26,325   belonged to the son,            is that right?                  279 00:10:26,425 --> 00:10:27,526  - Belonged to the son?          Yes, sir.                        280 00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:28,761    - Interesting fact              to tuck away                   281 00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:30,896 as you try and figure out          what's happened here.          282 00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:32,665    - Uh, yeah, it was             definitely a--                  283 00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:35,034 It went sideways.                284 00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,636 - Had the killer                 dropped the knife                285 00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:39,038 while pursuing his victim           through the house?            286 00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:40,640    It looked that way.           287 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:43,476 Out back, officers noted            a breach in the glass door    288 00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:44,577   on the porch.                  289 00:10:44,677 --> 00:10:47,113  Smallish, like the size          of a pet door.                  290 00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:49,615 If this had been a crime         committed by an intruder,        291 00:10:49,715 --> 00:10:51,450 is that how they got in?         292 00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:54,286    The horror show was             in the main bathroom.          293 00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:57,223    It was grotesquely             not a suicide.                  294 00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:00,893    Did the scene speak              to you yet?                   295 00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,161   Do you know what-what             had happened here?            296 00:11:02,261 --> 00:11:04,864 - It seemed to be                a pretty violent attack.         297 00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:07,700 Um, it also seemed to me           very early on                  298 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,201  that she put up a fight         299 00:11:09,301 --> 00:11:12,004  because of the disarray         the front doorway was in.        300 00:11:12,104 --> 00:11:13,472 And also for her                 defensive wounds                 301 00:11:13,572 --> 00:11:15,574  that were on her hands             from the stabbing.            302 00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:17,543   - Detective Williams             couldn't examine the tub yet   303 00:11:17,643 --> 00:11:20,012   because it was still            full of blood.                  304 00:11:20,112 --> 00:11:22,148 But when it was drained,           they found two things          305 00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,116    of major interest.            306 00:11:24,216 --> 00:11:26,719 At the bottom of the tub,        beneath the victim's body        307 00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:28,654    was a large hunting knife.    308 00:11:28,754 --> 00:11:32,058 They learned it had been            a gift from mother to son.    309 00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,460 They also found destroyed          security electronics.          310 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,562   The alarm box                   from the house.                 311 00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:38,931   - The knife,                     the alarm panel box,           312 00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:40,199   and some other items              that were in there.           313 00:11:40,299 --> 00:11:41,167 - Got thrown into                  the bathtub.                   314 00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:43,235    - Thrown in there.            Yes, sir.                        315 00:11:43,335 --> 00:11:46,138  - There was no trace of the two missing security cameras.        316 00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:47,606   It was clear                   to the detectives                317 00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:49,875  that the house had been tossed, rummaged through,                318 00:11:49,975 --> 00:11:51,577    drawers flung open.           319 00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:53,379   Jill had been                    a kind of neo hippie           320 00:11:53,479 --> 00:11:56,515   and not really big on            expensive pieces of jewelry.   321 00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:59,218   To the investigator's          experienced eyes,                322 00:11:59,318 --> 00:12:02,154   this didn't look like             a home invasion gone wrong.   323 00:12:02,254 --> 00:12:06,025 It looked staged                 and amateurishly.                324 00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:07,760  Is there a distinction          in your mind, Detective,         325 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:10,730  between a perpetrator who comes with murder on their mind        326 00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:13,065   as opposed to somebody who's      trying to get into a house,   327 00:12:13,165 --> 00:12:15,134    steals some jewelry             and then has a violent event?  328 00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,269 - Uh, definitely                 a big distinction, so...         329 00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:19,672    Um, and that plays              into the victimology.          330 00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:22,041 She was a well respected         member of the community,         331 00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:24,310    uh, had no enemies             that we found.                  332 00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:27,480 Uh, very wealthy family,          uh, well to do,                 333 00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:31,217 uh, worked for a bunch of        charitable organizations.        334 00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:33,652    Uh, just a really,               really great lady.            335 00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,955   - And to use a knife,            multiple stab wounds.          336 00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:37,189   Are you talking about          337 00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:38,758  this is somebody who's             taking it personal?           338 00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:40,426 - Personal or in                  a fit of rage.                  339 00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:41,761   Usually when somebody             breaks into a home            340 00:12:41,861 --> 00:12:43,095   and you're a burglar,          341 00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:46,198   you don't rise to that level      of violent attacks.           342 00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:48,000   - While the crime scene techs    took photos,                   343 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:50,569 collected prints                   and swabbed for DNA,           344 00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:52,271  it was time for                  the detectives to learn         345 00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:56,142 more about the Su family.        346 00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,544 Nan Yao and Jill                    first met in Japan,           347 00:12:58,644 --> 00:13:00,179   where she was                     an exchange student           348 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:01,647   and he was teaching.           349 00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:04,250 He eventually left to do            a PhD in the States           350 00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:07,286  and Jill left to travel            in Southeast Asia.            351 00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:08,988  About two years later,           he was thrilled                 352 00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:10,689    when he got                     a postcard from her.           353 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,224   She was in Thailand.           354 00:13:12,324 --> 00:13:14,093   - There she was volunteering,  355 00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:16,962  helping the Cambodian,             uh, refugee                   356 00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:20,266   escaping the                     Khmer Rouge genocide.          357 00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:23,002  And I was really moved          when I see that.                 358 00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:24,503   She was there                   for two years.                  359 00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:27,573    - What does that experience      tell us about Jill?           360 00:13:27,673 --> 00:13:30,709  - She always want to do           something she can do           361 00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:33,445   to help those                   who need help.                  362 00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:35,080   - When Jill returned            to the States,                  363 00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:36,882    the two eventually married.   364 00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:38,350 - This is Amanda.                365 00:13:38,450 --> 00:13:41,187    She was just handed              to me a minute ago.           366 00:13:41,287 --> 00:13:44,089    - Adopting daughter Mandy.     She lives in Kentucky.          367 00:13:46,258 --> 00:13:48,394 Justin came along                about three years later.         368 00:13:50,763 --> 00:13:53,232    And the years that followed   were good to the couple.         369 00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,167 - Give it up for Justin.         370 00:13:56,869 --> 00:14:00,105 - Jill, a dedicated mom,           still found time to continue   371 00:14:00,206 --> 00:14:03,042    her life's passion               for volunteer work.           372 00:14:03,142 --> 00:14:04,777 When she first came back          to the States,                  373 00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:08,280   she again worked with            refugees from Southeast Asia.  374 00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:10,583   Years later, she volunteered      to make audio tapes           375 00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:13,452  for the blind, reading            books and magazines.           376 00:14:13,552 --> 00:14:16,422  - A master in feng shui          was consulted.                  377 00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,090   - This is her reading           an excerpt from                 378 00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:19,992   a national magazine article.   379 00:14:20,092 --> 00:14:22,228  - It's turn of                     the century America           380 00:14:22,328 --> 00:14:24,063  with a Chinese overlay.         381 00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:25,497 - This is all very Jill.         382 00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:27,199  - Yes.                          383 00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:30,169    And that's the part             I fell in love with.           384 00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:32,371  - The Su family                  was very close,                 385 00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:35,007    but in the last few months,   there had been tensions.         386 00:14:35,107 --> 00:14:37,142    Justin had dropped             out of college,                 387 00:14:37,243 --> 00:14:38,644  his father was                   upset with him,                 388 00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:40,846   and there were even arguments   with his mother, Jill.          389 00:14:43,115 --> 00:14:44,550  The cops were of course         alert to                         390 00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:46,819 the maybe important fact           that Jill had                  391 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,821    that prominent maiden name.   392 00:14:48,921 --> 00:14:50,756  She was a Halliburton.          393 00:14:50,856 --> 00:14:53,192 Her great-uncle Earl Halliburton   had once been                  394 00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:55,561 among the richest people            in America.                   395 00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:57,596  His wealth didn't come           from oil wells,                 396 00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:59,865    but from developing           and improving the process        397 00:14:59,965 --> 00:15:02,134  to extract oil                  from the ground.                 398 00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:04,303 - This is the origins of         the Texas oil field work.        399 00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:05,537  Halliburton industries.         400 00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:07,106    - Yes, yes.                   401 00:15:07,206 --> 00:15:08,407    I didn't know that              at that time.                  402 00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:10,943  What Halliburton is all about,   to be honest with you,          403 00:15:11,043 --> 00:15:12,511   when I first met her.          404 00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:14,813 - Turns out when                  Earl Halliburton died,          405 00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:17,950    oil rights were distributed    to all family members.          406 00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:20,119    But it was                     parceled out so widely,         407 00:15:20,219 --> 00:15:21,553   little trickled down            to Jill                         408 00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:24,590 or to her daughter Mandy            or her son Justin.            409 00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:25,524    - You being a Halliburton,    410 00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:27,026 lo those many generations         down the line,                  411 00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:28,594    does that make you               a rich kid?                   412 00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:29,929  - Nope.                         413 00:15:30,029 --> 00:15:31,530    - Do they send you              a nice royalty check?          414 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:33,332   - Yep, for about $13.          415 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,403    - Termites, not oil fields,    paid the bills.                 416 00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:39,838    Years ago, Nan Yao             developed termite traps         417 00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,440    used widely today,            418 00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:45,077    and that allowed his family     to live comfortably.           419 00:15:45,177 --> 00:15:47,112   The night before the murder,     the Sus had returned           420 00:15:47,212 --> 00:15:48,580  from that trip                     to Malaysia                   421 00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:51,517  where the renowned entomologist  was lecturing.                  422 00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:54,920  - After that exhausting travel,    Jill decided she'd sleep in   423 00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:57,089 while her husband                  went to work.                  424 00:15:57,189 --> 00:16:00,526  You go to work and then          your life has changed.          425 00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:02,628  - Oh, it's a nightmare.         426 00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:03,829    - Murdered in her own home.   427 00:16:03,929 --> 00:16:05,864  - Yeah.                         428 00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:09,368  - But now things were going to     get a little uncomfortable.   429 00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,103  It was time for                   the detective to take          430 00:16:11,203 --> 00:16:13,439  the father and son down           to the station house           431 00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:15,808 for what would be                  an exhaustive interrogation.   432 00:16:17,676 --> 00:16:19,645    There'd be lots of              questions for the son          433 00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:21,080    about life at home            434 00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:24,116 and where exactly he was

 to get hotter.                  477 00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:16,335 Detectives always                   start investigating           478 00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,037   with the inner circle          of family                        479 00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:19,505  and work their way out.         480 00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:22,341 And in this case, Justin         was the one who found her        481 00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:25,277   and made that                    confusing 9-1-1 call.          482 00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:27,679 At a mobile command post           parked at the house,           483 00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:30,182 Justin had been directed           to remove his clothes          484 00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:32,151   and photos were taken            of his body.

  We want to take that             clothing to make sure          488 00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:37,322 we preserve any evidence          or transfer of evidence         489 00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:38,991    that could possibly              be on that.                   490 00:17:39,091 --> 00:17:41,260  We provided him                    with a Tyvek suit,            491 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:42,861   which is like                  a jumpsuit thing.                492 00:17:42,961 --> 00:17:45,697  - Now, at police headquarters,    detectives look more closely   493 00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:48,500 for any bruising,                  signs of a struggle or fight.  494 00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:52,304 - One of the worst things        about the whole situation        495 00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:55,274   that still is                  a horrible memory for me         496 00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:58,010 is I still had the blood         of my mother on my chest.        497 00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:02,347   - Justin cooperated, answered  the detectives questions,        498 00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:04,950  and never asked                   for a lawyer.                  499 00:18:05,050 --> 00:18:07,820  He told detectives that         around 9:30 that morning,        500 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,055    he drove to                     the local community college,   501 00:18:10,155 --> 00:18:12,191    then returned home             after his father's call         502 00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:14,893   around 12:30                   in the afternoon.                503 00:18:14,993 --> 00:18:16,895 He walked the detectives          through the same story          504 00:18:16,995 --> 00:18:18,430   you've already heard,          505 00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:21,433  him coming home to find         the security cameras ripped out, 506 00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:24,169   the knife collection              in his bedroom vandalized.    507 00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,538  Then of course, hearing           the running bathwater          508 00:18:26,638 --> 00:18:29,408 and finding what he found        in his parents bathroom.         509 00:18:32,444 --> 00:18:34,113   - But the tone of the            interview was quickly          510 00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:36,048    going from                    good cop, bad cop                511 00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:37,516   to bad cop, bad cop.           512 00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,361 - Justin had an early on          problem with his story          513 00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:51,897 and it had to do                   with his whereabouts.          514 00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:53,732    When his father called him,      he told him                   515 00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:55,100    a slightly different story    516 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,102  than he was now                  telling police.                 517 00:18:57,202 --> 00:18:58,737  He told his dad                  he was working                  518 00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:00,572 at the University                   of Florida,                   519 00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:01,974   but that wasn't true.          520 00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:14,153   - He told detectives             he was in the library          521 00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:15,320 of the community college         522 00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:17,222   where he was                    taking classes.                 523 00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,291  Turned out that                    wasn't true either.           524 00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,810   - Justin said he was           concerned how his father         525 00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:39,945  would react to the news         526 00:19:40,045 --> 00:19:41,647  of him sleeping                    in the car.                   527 00:19:41,747 --> 00:19:42,948   And for good reason.           528 00:19:43,048 --> 00:19:44,349  When Justin dropped out            of college,                   529 00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:47,219   it was a huge disappointment    to his parents.                 530 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:50,355    Living at home now, his dad   insisted Justin get a job        531 00:19:50,455 --> 00:19:52,524 and go to school                    part time.                    532 00:19:52,624 --> 00:19:54,726    Embarrassed he was             doing neither that day,         533 00:19:54,826 --> 00:19:58,163   Justin feared the anticipated     arguments back home later.    534 00:19:58,263 --> 00:20:00,098   He even thought that            perhaps his mother had          535 00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:02,201   had enough, prompting             his first thoughts            536 00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:03,669   that she had killed herself.   537 00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:23,589    - The word suicide, I don't     think would come out           538 00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:24,990  of most people's mouths         539 00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:26,959   if they found                     a loved one bound.            540 00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:28,193   - Problem number one              for Justin.                   541 00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:30,829    9-1-1 call saying,            my mother killed herself.        542 00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:32,364  I'm looking at                  a suicide victim.                543 00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:34,166    - Correct.                    544 00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:36,001  - Detectives zeroed in           on those knives                 545 00:20:36,101 --> 00:20:37,903 found at the crime scene.        546 00:20:38,003 --> 00:20:40,072    One was found with              Jill in the bathtub,           547 00:20:40,172 --> 00:20:42,674  and the other,                   outside the front door.         548 00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:44,443    Both were Justin's.           549 00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:46,111 - He was an avid                 knife collector.                 550 00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:47,679   - Does that make you wonder?     - Yeah, sure.                  551 00:20:47,779 --> 00:20:49,548   That's another thing           that we later found out,         552 00:20:49,648 --> 00:20:51,783 that the knives actually            came from his room.           553 00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:55,587   - But Justin said a stranger    must have broken into the house 554 00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:57,456   and taken his knives.          555 00:20:57,556 --> 00:21:00,058  Detectives questioned,            how likely was that?           556 00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:13,905   - And then there was           a puzzling story                 557 00:21:14,006 --> 00:21:15,474   about a third knife.           558 00:21:15,574 --> 00:21:17,976  Justin said he took it             from his car for protection   559 00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:19,578 as he first went                  into the home.                  560 00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:27,619    - So after finding his mom      dead in the bathtub,           561 00:21:27,719 --> 00:21:31,323   why would he go back outside    and put that knife in his car?  562 00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:34,026 The detective's reaction.        Nonsense.                        563 00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:35,127 They pressed him.                564 00:21:35,227 --> 00:21:37,896    He finally admitted            he lied again.                  565 00:21:37,996 --> 00:21:39,831 Homicide cops don't like          to be lied to.                  566 00:21:48,106 --> 00:21:49,274    - But Justin stuck              to his theory                  567 00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:50,609 that an unknown assailant        568 00:21:50,709 --> 00:21:53,745   broke into the house            with the intent to rob.         569 00:21:53,845 --> 00:21:55,580 Detectives saw it                  another way.                   570 00:21:55,681 --> 00:21:58,016  Perhaps he and his mom           had argued and fought,          571 00:21:58,116 --> 00:21:59,818 and Justin tried                  to cover it up                  572 00:21:59,918 --> 00:22:01,520   by making it                     look like a robbery.           573 00:22:26,578 --> 00:22:28,146    - Bad attempt, too,              they said.                    574 00:22:28,246 --> 00:22:30,048    in pointing to the opening    in the back door                 575 00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,084 where Justin said                someone broke in.                576 00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:33,452   It was small.                  577 00:22:33,552 --> 00:22:35,787    Too small, detectives said,    for a grown man                 578 00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:37,189    to squeeze through.           579 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:12,057    - Detectives weren't done.    580 00:23:12,157 --> 00:23:15,727 They had more questions,           both for Justin and his dad.   581 00:23:19,498 --> 00:23:20,932   - He was in the room

 "Dateline: Secrets Uncovered".  614 00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:54,366 I'm Craig Melvin.                615 00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:57,369   Police were grilling              Justin Su.                    616 00:23:57,469 --> 00:24:00,305    They suspected he murdered    his mother, Jill.                617 00:24:00,405 --> 00:24:02,340  But even under                    intense questioning,           618 00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,976  Justin insisted                 he was innocent.                 619 00:24:05,076 --> 00:24:08,013 So detectives were about          to take a new approach.         620 00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:12,784   A plan to get Justin              to reveal the deadly secret   621 00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:15,520 with his father's                 unwitting help.                 622 00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:19,257    Back to Dennis Murphy with       "The Figure in the House".    623 00:24:27,899 --> 00:24:30,735  - The questioning of Justin Su  started in the afternoon.        624 00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:35,874 - And by                         the early morning hours,         625 00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:37,742  detectives were                   still at it.                   626 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,448    - Occasionally, detectives       left Justin                   627 00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:45,417   to talk to his father             next door,                    628 00:24:45,517 --> 00:24:47,152   or check with                     other investigators           629 00:24:47,252 --> 00:24:49,154    about leads                      they were pursuing.           630 00:24:49,254 --> 00:24:51,523   So far, they weren't           buying his story.                631 00:24:51,623 --> 00:24:52,791 [banging on door]                632 00:24:52,891 --> 00:24:55,560   - Please let me out.           633 00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:57,896 - And there were spells,           sometimes long ones,           634 00:24:57,996 --> 00:25:00,031    when Justin                    was left alone.                 635 00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:03,301  - Oh, my God, I'm freaking out    in here, man.                  636 00:25:03,401 --> 00:25:04,369    - What's happening?             What are you hearing?          637 00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:05,804 What do you see?                 - When we leave the room,        638 00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:07,606 he's talking to himself.         639 00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:09,441    Um, he's screaming             and yelling profanities         640 00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:10,642 inside the room.                 641 00:25:10,742 --> 00:25:12,978    He's obviously not              comfortable with the fact of   642 00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:15,647   where we were-we were           pushing him to.                 643 00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,049  - Oh, my God, I just--          644 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:20,886 I want my mommy.                 645 00:25:20,986 --> 00:25:22,354 I'm gonna go postal, man.        I can't--                        646 00:25:22,454 --> 00:25:24,623  I-I-I just-- I keep on            thinking I see my mom's face.  647 00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:26,525   I see my mom's face.           648 00:25:26,625 --> 00:25:28,593  And I didn't--                   I can't think of anything else  649 00:25:28,693 --> 00:25:29,828 when I'm in here.                650 00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:32,297  I just wanna be                   out of here.                   651 00:25:32,397 --> 00:25:35,200   - From the next room,            Justin's father, Nan Yao Su,   652 00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,469    could hear his son's pain.    653 00:25:37,569 --> 00:25:39,871    - I'm scared, man.               I'm scared.                   654 00:25:39,971 --> 00:25:41,006  - The yelling.                  655 00:25:41,106 --> 00:25:42,607   - Why are you                  doing this to me?                656 00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:43,708  - The cursing.                  657 00:25:43,808 --> 00:25:45,877 [banging]                          The banging on walls.          658 00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:47,412 [sobbing]                        659 00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:49,614   - He was begging them           to get him out.                 660 00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:55,420   It was gut wrenching              for me as a father.           661 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,656    - Of course, investigators       also had questions            662 00:25:57,756 --> 00:25:59,424   for Justin's father.           663 00:25:59,524 --> 00:26:02,060 Remember, he first became         worried about his wife          664 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,163 when he was at his office         and logged in to view remotely  665 00:26:05,263 --> 00:26:07,165    the home security cameras.    666 00:26:07,265 --> 00:26:08,967 He saw someone on camera.        667 00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:11,970    - I saw this figure              coming in.                    668 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,106    His face is covered           with some kind of fabric,        669 00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:17,242   maybe a mask.                  670 00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,744   The only thing I can            saw is his head                 671 00:26:19,844 --> 00:26:21,246    and lower part of the face    672 00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:22,948  is covered with                 something white.                 673 00:26:23,048 --> 00:26:25,016  I did not know                    what to make of that.          674 00:26:25,116 --> 00:26:28,620   And next thing I know             is I lost my image.           675 00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:31,923 It's just                          a very brief moment.           676 00:26:32,023 --> 00:26:34,092   Probably two to three          seconds.                         677 00:26:34,192 --> 00:26:35,293  - Break it down                    as well as you can.           678 00:26:35,393 --> 00:26:37,696  You're looking at eyes,         essentially, huh?                679 00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:40,732    - All I see is a black band     around the eye area.           680 00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:42,200    - What'd you think?             You have this alarming image,  681 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:43,835    and then it's gone.           682 00:26:43,935 --> 00:26:45,270   Camera's off.                    - Yeah, yeah.                  683 00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:47,806  Then I thought,                 what-what is that figure         684 00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:50,408  I just saw-I just saw?          685 00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:54,279    - Nan Yao's first thought,       it might be his son Justin.   686 00:26:54,379 --> 00:26:57,749   - So I thought, well,             Justin pulling prank on me.   687 00:26:57,849 --> 00:26:59,317 - So after seeing                   that image,                   688 00:26:59,417 --> 00:27:01,152    that's when                   he called Justin.                689 00:27:01,252 --> 00:27:03,288   - And I say,                   are you at home?                 690 00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:04,389   He said, no.                   691 00:27:04,489 --> 00:27:06,091    - And he described            to myself and my partner         692 00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:10,028   that he saw an image,           and for a brief second,         693 00:27:10,128 --> 00:27:11,997    and then the camera              went black.                   694 00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:14,032   - So he sees                    your suspected killer.          695 00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:15,233    - Correct.                    696 00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:21,106    - Nan Yao described             the person to police.          697 00:27:21,206 --> 00:27:23,141    - Kind of tall and skinny.    698 00:27:23,241 --> 00:27:25,944    And they said, oh, your son    is skinny and-and tall.         699 00:27:26,044 --> 00:27:28,580   And I said, what are              you talking about?            700 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,782   - The comment threw Nan Yao,   701 00:27:30,882 --> 00:27:32,117   because while                     at first he thought           702 00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:33,718  it was his son                   on the camera.                  703 00:27:33,818 --> 00:27:36,888  He was now sure it was          someone else, the killer.        704 00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:38,523 Detectives asked                    the person's race.            705 00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:44,763 - White male with                 something white                 706 00:27:44,863 --> 00:27:45,797    covering his head,            707 00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:48,266 and a body shape                   similar to Justin's.           708 00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,769    That kept Justin in            the crosshairs for detectives.  709 00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:51,736   And they told him so.          710 00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:15,060    - Detectives tried to play       father against son.           711 00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:31,176  - Back with Justin, detectives   kept pressing the idea          712 00:28:31,276 --> 00:28:33,712   that his father suspected him    of being the killer.           713 00:28:44,823 --> 00:28:47,826   - Then detectives were really  pushed Justin's buttons.         714 00:28:47,926 --> 00:28:49,160  They switched tactics,          715 00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:51,429   now implying his dad              might be the killer           716 00:28:51,529 --> 00:28:53,431  and that he was trying          to frame his son.                717 00:29:23,962 --> 00:29:25,396  - And while detectives             may have had Justin           718 00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:27,699  second guessing his dad           for a moment,                  719 00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,902   his father saw right through    the game being played.          720 00:29:31,002 --> 00:29:33,104    - Did you know that           your name was being part         721 00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:34,806  of the scenario                    in the other room?            722 00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:35,940  They're saying,                    Maybe your father's           723 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,108    got something to do              with this.                    724 00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:38,676 The father frames                the son for this?                725 00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,645  - Yeah, it was                   so ridiculous.                  726 00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:42,413 I did not take it                   seriously.                    727 00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:45,517  And they probably tried to use     my statement to frame him.    728 00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,020   - No matter what tack             they took,                    729 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,355    detectives always returned    730 00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:52,223 to just hammering                 away at Justin.                 731 00:30:01,232 --> 00:30:04,435  - And that's the way it         went for nearly 11 hours.        732 00:30:04,536 --> 00:30:07,839   Despite the pressure, Justin   insisted he was innocent.        733 00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:09,407   And if investigators            could only find                 734 00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,376   that snippet of video           of the intruder                 735 00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:13,478  from the home security camera,  736 00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:16,648   then they'd find out              who really killed his mom.    737 00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:18,583   Was he right?                  738 00:30:18,683 --> 00:30:22,487 - Right or wrong,                   Justin sure seems certain,    739 00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:24,322 but so do police.                740 00:30:24,422 --> 00:30:27,025  Neither side is willing         to give an inch.                 741 00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:28,526    Coming up.                    742 00:30:28,626 --> 00:30:32,096 A frustrated and                    increasingly angry Justin.    743 00:30:46,711 --> 00:30:49,647 - When "Dateline:                  Secrets Uncovered" continues.  744 00:31:03,428 --> 00:31:03,461 -                                745 00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:03,494 - Af                             746 00:31:03,494 --> 00:31:03,528 - Afte                           747 00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:03,561 - After                          748 00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:03,595 - After ho                       749 00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:03,628 - After hour                     750 00:31:03,628 --> 00:31:03,661 - After hours                    751 00:31:03,661 --> 00:31:03,761 - After hours of                 752 00:31:03,761 --> 00:31:03,795 - After hours of                  de                              753 00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:03,828 - After hours of                  dete                            754 00:31:03,828 --> 00:31:03,862 - After hours of                  detect                          755 00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:03,895 - After hours of                  detectiv                        756 00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:03,928 - After hours of                  detectives                      757 00:31:03,928 --> 00:31:03,962 - After hours of                  detectives i                    758 00:31:03,962 --> 00:31:03,995 - After hours of                  detectives in                   759 00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:04,028 - After hours of                  detectives in hi                760 00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:04,062 - After hours of                  detectives in his               761 00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:04,095 - After hours of                  detectives in his fa            762 00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:05,096 - After hours of                  detectives in his face          763 00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:06,698 saying he killed                    his mother,                   764 00:31:06,798 --> 00:31:08,700 Justin refused to buckle.        765 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,068   He maintained                    his innocence                  766 00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:12,203    and said they would end up       apologizing to him            767 00:31:12,303 --> 00:31:13,504 when the case was solved.        768 00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:38,830 - They never did.                769 00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:41,232  But if there was one thing that    could help solve the crime,   770 00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:43,701    it was that snippet            of video of an intruder         771 00:31:43,801 --> 00:31:45,570    his dad saw                   on his computer.                 772 00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:50,541 - Detectives were                 already working on it.          773 00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:54,078    Analyze it frame by frame,     and it might just clear Justin. 774 00:31:54,178 --> 00:31:55,413  Or not.                         775 00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:56,748 Easy, you go to the tape,          you pull it,                   776 00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:58,116  and you all look at it.          - Yeah, that'd be great, right? 777 00:31:58,216 --> 00:31:59,350    This camera system               that he had                   778 00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:01,452 was a drop camera service        inside the house.                779 00:32:01,552 --> 00:32:04,522   And you are afforded            the opportunity to pay          780 00:32:04,622 --> 00:32:06,791 for a service which keeps          the live recordings.           781 00:32:06,891 --> 00:32:09,227  - In fact, the Sus had            a trial period for recordings  782 00:32:09,327 --> 00:32:11,095  that lasted two weeks.          783 00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:13,498    It expired two days           before the murder                784 00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:15,233   and was not renewed.           785 00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:18,102   That meant there was            no video recording to retrieve. 786 00:32:18,202 --> 00:32:20,305   - It was just                    a live monitor view.           787 00:32:20,405 --> 00:32:23,641   So once that image was gone,     it was gone forever.           788 00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:26,411 - But there were                    other investigators           789 00:32:26,511 --> 00:32:28,947 reviewing videos                  from outside the house,         790 00:32:29,047 --> 00:32:30,515   including at the front gate,   791 00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:34,285   to see if they could confirm     Justin's story and timeline.   792 00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:35,987    Justin told                      investigators that            793 00:32:36,087 --> 00:32:37,422   after running errands            that morning,                  794 00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:40,358 he left the house                   again around 9:15.            795 00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,260    The security camera           at the front gate showed         796 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,429  his black car leaving.          797 00:32:44,529 --> 00:32:47,332 About three hours later,          sometime around 12:30,          798 00:32:47,432 --> 00:32:50,468 his car can be seen again           on the same security camera   799 00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:52,704   returning to                     the gated community.           800 00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:54,572 It was just as he'd said,        801 00:32:54,672 --> 00:32:56,407   responding to                    his father's request           802 00:32:56,507 --> 00:32:58,776  to check on his mother           and the house.                  803 00:32:58,876 --> 00:33:00,511   - Based on guard gate video,   804 00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:03,281    we had him coming and going    from the house                  805 00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:05,683 and from the time                that he had left.                806 00:33:05,783 --> 00:33:07,018  And by the time                   he came back,                  807 00:33:07,118 --> 00:33:08,519  that was the opportunity window that we basically                808 00:33:08,619 --> 00:33:11,622 put a timeline of                  when this murder took place.   809 00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:14,359 - Justin was not at home            shortly after noon            810 00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:16,094    when the detectives             theorized the murder           811 00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:18,629 had to have taken place.         812 00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:21,566    The comings and goings seen      on the security gate video    813 00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:25,036 confirmed Justin had not            killed his mother.            814 00:33:25,136 --> 00:33:26,270   - When we were done,           we were pretty convinced         815 00:33:26,371 --> 00:33:28,272  that he wasn't                     the one who did it.           816 00:33:28,373 --> 00:33:30,408 - So all these suspicions         you just talked about,          817 00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,010  you believed in the end          that he was telling the truth?  818 00:33:32,110 --> 00:33:33,945    - I-I did.                    819 00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:35,213   - Justin got                   the welcome news                 820 00:33:35,313 --> 00:33:37,315 without trumpets                  or drum rolls.                  821 00:33:37,415 --> 00:33:40,084    He was simply told               he was free to go.            822 00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:41,085    - All of a sudden,               it's over.                    823 00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:43,087  - Yeah, it is.                  824 00:33:43,187 --> 00:33:44,255 They just open the door.         825 00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:45,390   - Was your dad there            at that point?                  826 00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:46,958  - Mm-hmm, yeah.                   I remember--                   827 00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:49,827 The first memory                    I have of my dad is           828 00:33:49,927 --> 00:33:52,263   he saw me, hugged me,          and said,                        829 00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,865  "Don't worry, don't--"          830 00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:56,034  Obviously, he didn't--          831 00:33:56,134 --> 00:33:57,101    He did not believe              for a second                   832 00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,470    that I did it, no.            833 00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:00,838 - Throughout his ordeal,         834 00:34:00,938 --> 00:34:03,007    Justin was                    agonizingly aware                835 00:34:03,107 --> 00:34:05,276   he still had                      his mother's blood on him.    836 00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:06,811 - I had to ask him, like,        837 00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:08,880   can I just go                  to the bathroom?                 838 00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:11,983  I had to go in                     and go to the sink            839 00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:15,353    and take this water           and just try to wash off         840 00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:19,791  my mom's blood                  in this police bathroom.         841 00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:23,127   And I'm being                  blamed for this.                 842 00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:25,930   - Justin's interview           was long, harsh,                 843 00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:28,032 and traumatizing.                844 00:34:28,132 --> 00:34:30,234 - If you keep on                  doing that to somebody          845 00:34:30,334 --> 00:34:32,937   for 12, 13, 14 hours,          846 00:34:33,037 --> 00:34:34,238 that's close to torture.         847 00:34:34,338 --> 00:34:36,541 And you can make someone           confess to something           848 00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:37,508  just to end it,                 849 00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:40,178    just to get out of             that situation,                 850 00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:41,446    which is horrible.            851 00:34:41,546 --> 00:34:43,214    And I never broke.            852 00:34:43,314 --> 00:34:44,315 - You're telling me about        853 00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:45,750   the before and after             moment of your life.           854 00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:47,919  - Yep.                          855 00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:49,554   - Was anything quite              the same afterwards           856 00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:52,090  after you emerged from            that interview room?           857 00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:54,659    - No, no, I'm a completely    different person.                858 00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,694    - Even some law enforcement     professionals                  859 00:34:56,794 --> 00:35:00,364  felt that grilling him          for 11 hours was extreme.        860 00:35:00,465 --> 00:35:02,366   - I have to tell you              that I have seldom            861 00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:06,337    in my 35 years of practice     of criminal law                 862 00:35:06,437 --> 00:35:08,372   seen an interrogation            go that long.                  863 00:35:08,473 --> 00:35:10,508   - Prosecutor Maria Schneider   would be the one                 864 00:35:10,608 --> 00:35:11,809  to try the case                 865 00:35:11,909 --> 00:35:13,478  when the killer                    was finally caught.           866 00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:15,279  Had these guys                    stepped over the line          867 00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:17,448   into bullying, intimidation?   868 00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:19,350    - You know,                   investigating the family         869 00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:21,185   or suspecting                     the family, sadly,            870 00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:23,087  that's kind of                     par for the course.           871 00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:25,189   Whether I personally             think that they went           872 00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:26,357   a little bit too long          873 00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:28,326 and a little bit                    too hard on Justin,           874 00:35:28,426 --> 00:35:31,262    you know, that's me            Monday morning quarterbacking.  875 00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:32,964   - No, 'cause I didn't do it!   876 00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:34,565  - Lead detective Paul Williams  877 00:35:34,665 --> 00:35:38,436   said it was as long and hard      as it needed to be.           878 00:35:38,536 --> 00:35:39,837   Did you rough him up            more than you needed to         879 00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:40,972    to get your story?            880 00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:42,273  - No, I don't think so.         881 00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:43,374   And I never feel bad              about that                    882 00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:44,876   because we do                  the investigation                883 00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:46,244  for the victim                  who can't speak.                 884 00:35:46,344 --> 00:35:47,211 If I had to do it                 all over again,                 885 00:35:47,311 --> 00:35:49,147    I wouldn't change a thing.    886 00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:51,449   He'd be in that room            as long, being grilled?         887 00:35:51,549 --> 00:35:55,086 - As-as long as it took,            w-without a doubt.            888 00:35:55,186 --> 00:35:56,287   And the optics of it,          889 00:35:56,387 --> 00:35:57,788 it's probably not                  what you want to see.          890 00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:59,190 My job is                           to find the facts,            891 00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:01,292 and if we didn't                 address it, then,                892 00:36:01,392 --> 00:36:02,793   it would have                    come up later                  893 00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:04,529 and it would have                   made us look worse.           894 00:36:06,063 --> 00:36:08,266  - And the fact is that          during his interrogation,        895 00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:11,135  Justin gave detectives            a new lead to pursue,          896 00:36:11,235 --> 00:36:14,272    opening up a whole new area   of investigation.

908 00:36:38,996 --> 00:36:40,198  might have had                  something to do with it.         909 00:36:40,298 --> 00:36:42,233    - Had Justin guessed right?   910 00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:49,307

937 00:37:03,621 --> 00:37:06,724   but he did offer them           a tantalizing new lead.         938 00:37:06,824 --> 00:37:09,327   So in recent days, there had      been a party in the house.

  So there was a lot of people   inside the house,                944 00:37:17,268 --> 00:37:20,371    which added to the problems     of the contamination           945 00:37:20,471 --> 00:37:22,807  or cross contamination            of other people's DNA          946 00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:25,710 and-and fingerprints they          could have left on the scene,  947 00:37:25,810 --> 00:37:29,146    uh, as well as what we were     dealing with already.          948 00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:31,449 - Justin gave detectives         a list of people,                949 00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:33,985    mostly young people             in their 20s.                  950 00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:35,219  - You gave them names?             - Yeah, I gave them           951 00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:37,088

  all of them.                      Um, yeah, it was--            954 00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:44,028  I-I was guessing maybe          one of my friends                955 00:37:44,128 --> 00:37:45,830

960 00:37:54,305 --> 00:37:56,741 - And when they did that,           they were swabbed for DNA.    961 00:37:59,644 --> 00:38:01,012    - No one objected.            962 00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:03,614  By then, they all knew            what happened to Justin's mom  963 00:38:03,714 --> 00:38:05,616    three days after the party.   964 00:38:05,716 --> 00:38:07,985 Most were happy to answer         detectives' questions.          965 00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:13,958   - Are you saying that             there might be a friend--?    966 00:38:14,058 --> 00:38:16,594 - Justin told detectives         during his interrogation         967 00:38:16,694 --> 00:38:17,995 that when guests arrived,        968 00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:20,097   he made sure he told              everyone to be cool           969 00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:22,099   around those                   security cameras.                970 00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,535 He warned them that even           though his parents were away,  971 00:38:24,635 --> 00:38:26,737  they sometimes checked            the cameras remotely.          972 00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:38,616  - Justin said most party guests  were longtime friends,          973 00:38:38,716 --> 00:38:41,185   but he said there were a few   he didn't know very well.        974 00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:42,453 And one guy made his way         975 00:38:42,553 --> 00:38:44,288

 The very place                    where Jill's body was found.   978 00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:06,143   So they asked                  the guy about it.                979 00:39:21,258 --> 00:39:23,227  - Actually, there were             no cameras in the bedroom.    980 00:39:23,327 --> 00:39:25,229 And the guy on the phone         immediately left                 981 00:39:25,329 --> 00:39:27,465

and asked him to                 come down to headquarters        988 00:40:11,942 --> 00:40:13,544    to answer a few questions.    989 00:40:13,644 --> 00:40:14,779 - Hey, what's up, buddy?         990 00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:17,415  - He told the cops he'd           actually been expecting them.  991 00:40:22,353 --> 00:40:23,788 - They asked him                   to take off his shirt          992 00:40:23,888 --> 00:40:26,824  to see if there were any signs    of an injury from a struggle.  993 00:40:26,924 --> 00:40:28,259  There were not.                 994 00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:30,394    He admitted he had            an arrest record,                995 00:40:30,494 --> 00:40:33,197   but for drugs, not burglary.    No rough stuff.                 996 00:40:34,598 --> 00:40:35,800  - Oh, you are?                  997 00:40:38,636 --> 00:40:40,371  - And when it came time         for a DNA swab...                998 00:40:42,339 --> 00:40:44,608   - He said his DNA was            already in the system          999 00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:46,110    as a result of his arrest.    1000 00:40:49,713 --> 00:40:52,583   - The young man had an alibi      for the time of the murder.   1001 00:40:52,683 --> 00:40:54,418 He was at work, he said.         1002 00:40:54,518 --> 00:40:55,953    In all, detectives              went through                   1003 00:40:56,053 --> 00:40:57,922  close to 30 interviews,         1004 00:40:58,022 --> 00:40:59,523  and except for                  that one person,                 1005 00:40:59,623 --> 00:41:02,059 no one else at the party          had a criminal record.          1006 00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:03,961 You've canvassed                   all the kids                   1007 00:41:04,061 --> 00:41:06,464    and they don't seem             to be a lead for you.          1008 00:41:06,564 --> 00:41:08,065    - Correct.                    1009 00:41:08,165 --> 00:41:11,135

00:41:19,243    It's an electrifying moment   for any detective working a case 1012 00:41:19,343 --> 00:41:21,579 when a DNA sample                 comes back from the lab         1013 00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:25,149   with not just a hit,             but a name attached.           1014 00:41:25,249 --> 00:41:28,419    Detective Paul Williams had   one of those a-ha moments        1015 00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:31,322  nine days after                 Jill Su's murder.                1016 00:41:31,422 --> 00:41:33,157    They've taken their sample,     this genetic sample,           1017 00:41:33,257 --> 00:41:35,092  and compared it                   to a known database.           1018 00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:36,727    - Correct, correct.           1019 00:41:36,827 -->

 were busy chasing leads         1069 00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:44,161 that all led them                   to the same place, nowhere.   1070 00:42:44,261 --> 00:42:46,764    But now DNA from the scene    1071 00:42:46,864 --> 00:42:49,366   had just handed them              a suspect.                    1072 00:42:49,466 --> 00:42:53,871 The name Dayonte Resiles           had not been on their radar,   1073 00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:56,407    but he was known to police.   1074 00:42:56,507 --> 00:43:00,477    back to Dennis Murphy with    The Figure in the House.         1075 00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:02,212   - Homicide Detective             Paul Williams                  1076 00:43:02,313 -->

--> 00:43:08,652  when the strongest lead         pointed in the direction         1079 00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,521    of Dayonte Resiles.           1080 00:43:10,621 --> 00:43:12,356   - Do you go to your computers    and pull up the name?          1081 00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:13,691  - Pulled up a picture,           looked at him,                  1082 00:43:13,791 -->

00:43:26,403 - The way Dayonte Resiles          pulled off those burglaries,   1089 00:43:26,503 --> 00:43:30,040 his MO, sounded familiar          to Detective Williams.          1090 00:43:30,140

00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:36,447 and they were all                backed up against water.         1093 00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:38,749    And most of                     the entries were done          1094 00:43:38,849 --> 00:43:42,886 through a back glass, uh,         doorway into the home.          1095 00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:45,055   - And destroying surveillance   equipment, if he could.         1096 00:43:45,155 --> 00:43:46,490    - Yes, yes.                   1097 00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:48,425 - The detective wondered            if Dayonte had been           1098 00:43:48,525 --> 00:43:50,561  in the Su house                   legitimately.                  1099 00:43:50,661 --> 00:43:52,062   Maybe he knew Justin.          1100 00:43:52,162 --> 00:43:55,265 If so, that could explain        the presence of the DNA.         1101 00:43:55,366 --> 00:43:58,102    The detective called Justin   and read him three names.        1102 00:44:23,961 --> 00:44:26,597  Justin didn't know that          two of the names were made up.  1103 00:44:26,697 --> 00:44:30,968 He blanked on all three,            including Dayonte Resiles.    1104 00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:32,336 - Never heard that name.         1105 00:44:32,436 --> 00:44:34,304 I've never seen that man            in my life.                   1106 00:44:34,405 --> 00:44:37,641 - The detective told him            about the DNA hit.            1107 00:44:37,741 --> 00:44:39,209   Justin was relieved.           1108 00:44:39,309 --> 00:44:41,879  But he says it was hard            to feel anything back then    1109 00:44:41,979 --> 00:44:43,847  because of what                    he'd been through.            1110 00:44:43,947 --> 00:44:46,283 He was, he says,                  shell shocked.                  1111 00:44:46,383 --> 00:44:48,185   - I don't know what else term     to say it,                    1112 00:44:48,285 --> 00:44:49,687   but mentally scarred.          1113 00:44:49,787 --> 00:44:53,991    Like, I was mentally, like,     beat up, man.                  1114 00:44:54,091 --> 00:44:57,227 - But the police                 were moving fast.                1115 00:44:57,327 --> 00:45:00,097    They got an arrest warrant    and nabbed their suspect.        1116 00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:03,100 It went down like                a textbook case.                 1117 00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:17,648    Then they told him            the charge he was facing.        1118 00:45:34,698 --> 00:45:36,934    Police told Dayonte            to remove his clothing          1119 00:45:37,034 --> 00:45:38,602  and put on a jumpsuit.          1120 00:45:38,702 --> 00:45:41,805  And Dayonte asked again          about the charge he was facing. 1121 00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:57,621   Dayonte was assigned           a court appointed                1122 00:45:57,721 --> 00:45:59,256 defense attorney                 1123 00:45:59,356 --> 00:46:01,725    and an investigator            working for the defense         1124 00:46:01,825 --> 00:46:04,695   went to talk to him in jail.   1125 00:46:04,795 --> 00:46:08,031 Gentry Chambers was surprised by   the young man he met.          1126 00:46:08,132 --> 00:46:09,500   - He's a scared kid.           1127 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,203  To me, that says a lot,            because this case,            1128 00:46:13,303 --> 00:46:15,005  the person who did it,          1129 00:46:15,105 --> 00:46:17,141  I don't think they're gonna be     too scared.                   1130 00:46:17,241 --> 00:46:20,244  I think this was a case          where whoever did this,         1131 00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:23,380 they either did it before          or, you know,                  1132 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,582    t-they were                     a real gruesome person, so...  1133 00:46:25,682

   - But Gentry had his doubts    about Dayonte's guilt.          1170 00:47:41,625 --> 00:47:44,428    The savage way Jill Su was     killed didn't seem like         1171 00:47:44,528 --> 00:47:47,431 something a breaking and          entering guy would do.          1172 00:47:47,531 --> 00:47:51,969 - To kill a woman                  in that fashion, in that way?  1173 00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:53,403    No.                           - Tell me about that way.        1174 00:47:53,503 --> 00:47:57,107   Killing in that way.             - In that way is to--          1175 00:47:57,207 --> 00:48:01,011 To bound her and                    to stab her multiple times.   1176 00:48:01,111 --> 00:48:03,814   Almost like torturing, right?  1177 00:48:03,914 --> 00:48:05,716  - Police have a word they use,  overkill.                        1178 00:48:05,816 --> 00:48:07,651 - Right.                         1179 00:48:07,751 --> 00:48:09,319   - But the case moved forward.  1180 00:48:09,419 --> 00:48:11,488   In the months that followed,    Dayonte Resiles                 1181 00:48:11,588 --> 00:48:14,958 made one court appearance         after another.                  1182 00:48:15,058 --> 00:48:18,829 Then came July 15, 2016,         almost two years                 1183 00:48:18,929 --> 00:48:21,098    after Jill Su was murdered.   1184 00:48:21,198 --> 00:48:24,401 Dayonte was in court that          morning for another hearing.   1185 00:48:24,501 --> 00:48:28,105  - All of a sudden, we hear that    the courthouses shut down.    1186 00:48:28,205 --> 00:48:30,173  The area around the courthouse    is shut down.                  1187 00:48:30,274 --> 00:48:33,043 - David Neal, a reporter          with the Miami Herald,          1188 00:48:33,143 --> 00:48:36,580    was in his office covering     breaking news that day.         1189 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,350   - There's unusual numbers of     large police vehicles          1190 00:48:40,450 --> 00:48:41,551  in the street,                  1191 00:48:41,652 --> 00:48:44,554    and we're not sure,            exactly sure w-what's happened. 1192 00:48:44,655 --> 00:48:46,823  - Then Neal and                 his colleagues learned...        1193 00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:48,859    - Somebody escaped              from the courthouse.           1194 00:48:48,959 --> 00:48:50,260 - Sitting in a courtroom.        - Right.                         1195 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,962    And so we're calling around      and going,                    1196 00:48:52,062 --> 00:48:54,197 "Wait a minute, hold on."        1197 00:48:56,833 --> 00:48:58,268  - Coming up...                  1198 00:48:58,368 --> 00:49:00,304    - He's up and out.               He's gone.                    1199 00:49:00,404 --> 00:49:03,307  You see a bunch of heads turn,    like the utter shock.          1200 00:49:03,407 --> 00:49:06,843   - A suspected killer             on the loose.                  1201 00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:09,746  When Dateline:                    Secrets Uncovered continues.   1202 00:49:11,315 --> 00:49:11,381    ♪                             1203 00:49:11,381 --> 00:49:13,417    ♪♪                            1204 00:49:13,417 --> 00:49:15,719    ♪♪                            1205 00:49:15,819 --> 00:49:18,322    - It started out as             just another pretrial hearing  1206 00:49:18,422 --> 00:49:20,557   at the Broward County             Courthouse.                   1207 00:49:20,657 --> 00:49:22,326   Didn't end that way.           1208 00:49:22,426 --> 00:49:24,194   David Neal of                  the Miami Herald.                1209 00:49:24,294 --> 00:49:27,064 - Then suddenly, he's up         and out.                         1210 00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:29,266    He's gone.                     - He's bolted?                  1211 00:49:29,366 --> 00:49:32,035    Wait a minute, a prisoner,      cuffed and shackled,           1212 00:49:32,135 --> 00:49:34,771    had somehow escaped           from a packed courtroom?         1213 00:49:34,871 --> 00:49:35,939   Yes, he had.                   1214 00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:39,576   - The guy got up and           escaped from a courtroom.        1215 00:49:39,676 --> 00:49:42,713   - The guy, of course,            was Dayonte Resiles.           1216 00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:44,881    - I was like, "Did that guy     just really do that?"          1217 00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:46,116 - He did.                        1218 00:49:46,216 --> 00:49:48,752 At 9:06,                           Dayonte entered the courtroom  1219 00:49:48,852 --> 00:49:51,588   first in the line of inmates   heading for the jury box,        1220 00:49:51,688 --> 00:49:52,856   out of camera range,           1221 00:49:52,956 --> 00:49:55,192   waiting for his case             to be called.                  1222 00:49:55,292 --> 00:49:59,329  At 9:36, a new group of inmates entered the room.                1223 00:49:59,429 --> 00:50:02,933  Seconds later, Dayonte,           still off camera, raced out,   1224 00:50:03,033 --> 00:50:05,068  a bailiff on his heels.         1225 00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:06,470    - Suddenly you see             a bunch of heads turn,          1226 00:50:06,570 --> 00:50:09,339   like the utter shock             of everybody,                  1227 00:50:09,439 --> 00:50:11,942   and then you see him              head out the door.            1228 00:50:12,042 --> 00:50:14,878   The biggest resistance he got     was when he hits the door,    1229 00:50:14,978 --> 00:50:16,146  which is kind of a heavy door,  1230 00:50:16,246 --> 00:50:17,481    but someone was on               the other side of the door.   1231 00:50:17,581 --> 00:50:20,384   So he hits the door,            kind of bounces b-back,         1232 00:50:20,484 --> 00:50:23,620    then pushes through again.       - And made it out.            1233 00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,023    Why didn't somebody try and   tackle him in a hallway?         1234 00:50:26,123 --> 00:50:29,393   - Because nobody expects that  1235 00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:33,597  because it was just so out of-     out of-out of norm.           1236 00:50:33,697 --> 00:50:35,866 - Courtroom 4810                  is on the fourth floor          1237 00:50:35,966 --> 00:50:37,200    of the courthouse.            1238 00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:38,935   Once Dayonte                     was on the other side          1239 00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:41,738  of that courtroom door,            he was off.                   1240 00:50:41,838 --> 00:50:43,507   He's out of shackles.           He's out of handcuffs.          1241 00:50:43,607 --> 00:50:45,409    - He's out of the jumpsuit.   - Jailhouse garb.                1242 00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:48,145    - Yeah, he's gone.               - Past sheriff's deputies,    1243 00:50:48,245 --> 00:50:50,213   I imagine. Bailiffs.             - Yeah, yeah, past everybody.  1244 00:50:50,313 --> 00:50:51,381  - All sorts of                  court officers are there.        1245 00:50:51,481 --> 00:50:54,484 - Right, this guy                was just blazing through.        1246 00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,488 - Charging through this hallway,    racing down that staircase.   1247 00:50:58,588 --> 00:51:01,658 Caught on security camera          as he busted out a back door   1248 00:51:01,758 --> 00:51:03,293 to a waiting car.                1249 00:51:03,393 --> 00:51:05,262  - They're gone.                 They beat the perimeter.         1250 00:51:05,362 --> 00:51:06,263  - Before they could set it up.  1251 00:51:06,363 --> 00:51:07,898    - Before they could            even set it up.                 1252 00:51:07,998 --> 00:51:10,300   - A suspected killer           was roaming free.                1253 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,402  Law enforcement                    swung into action.            1254 00:51:12,502 --> 00:51:14,137  The courthouse                  was locked down.                 1255 00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:17,074  A manhunt launched and            a hugely embarrassed           1256 00:51:17,174 --> 00:51:19,576  Broward County sheriff             faced the cameras.            1257 00:51:19,676 --> 00:51:21,778   - There'll be investigations   and debriefings,                 1258 00:51:21,878 --> 00:51:26,349  but right now, my main concern  is where he is right now.        1259 00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:29,319  - Davie Detective Paul Williams  heard the news from a colleague 1260 00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:31,588   at the Broward County          Sheriff's office.                1261 00:51:31,688 --> 00:51:34,057 - I think my words were,          "A-are you kidding me?"         1262 00:51:34,157 --> 00:51:35,592 And I said, "Well, whatever help  you guys need."                 1263 00:51:35,692 --> 00:51:37,260  - So you're working with what,  known associates                 1264 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:38,695    and family members?              - Correct.                    1265 00:51:38,795 --> 00:51:40,564   I ran through                     all my criminal histories,    1266 00:51:40,664 --> 00:51:43,266 all the contacts                   that I had with them.          1267 00:51:43,366 --> 00:51:46,436  - Like everyone else, Justin Su couldn't believe his ears        1268 00:51:46,536 --> 00:51:48,805  when he learned                 about the escape.                1269 00:51:48,905 --> 00:51:52,642  - Got a phone call from         the victim advocates, I believe, 1270 00:51:52,742 --> 00:51:54,678  saying, "Hey, you might            want to pull over."           1271 00:51:54,778 --> 00:51:57,714    I remember stopping            at the gas station and saying,  1272 00:51:57,814 --> 00:51:59,549 "He escaped from prison."        1273 00:51:59,649 --> 00:52:02,319  And, you know,                   we're having all the--          1274 00:52:02,419 --> 00:52:03,854    Assured me there's             all these resources out         1275 00:52:03,954 --> 00:52:06,022  to try looking for him.         1276 00:52:06,123 --> 00:52:09,059   - Detective Williams           called the Su's as well.         1277 00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:10,760  - Obviously, their concern was    their safety                   1278 00:52:10,861 --> 00:52:13,063    and whether he was going to   come back to their home.         1279 00:52:13,163 --> 00:52:14,197    - Look over your shoulder,     right?                          1280 00:52:14,297 --> 00:52:16,399 - Correct. I arranged it            with our police department    1281 00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:20,370   and our command staff            to have Davie police officers  1282 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:24,074  maintain security at the home,   uh, for the Su family.          1283 00:52:24,174 --> 00:52:26,176 - And we have the latest          on the search tonight.          1284 00:52:26,276 --> 00:52:29,079 - The story was all over          the local news.                 1285 00:52:29,179 --> 00:52:31,681  The sheriff at the time         appealed to the community        1286 00:52:31,781 --> 00:52:33,150   to be on the lookout.          1287 00:52:33,250 --> 00:52:34,417  - If you think                    you know where he is,          1288 00:52:34,518 --> 00:52:35,919    you think you know               where he might be,            1289 00:52:36,019 --> 00:52:37,420    you think you know            where he might be going,         1290 00:52:37,521 --> 00:52:40,023 or you think you see him,           call us up.                   1291 00:52:40,123 --> 00:52:43,193  - Two days, three days,         four days passed.                1292 00:52:43,293 --> 00:52:47,297 A crime stopper's reward         grew to $50,000.                 1293 00:52:47,397 --> 00:52:50,066    But the fugitive continued    to elude the law,                1294 00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,102   and the rumor mill exploded.   1295 00:52:52,202 --> 00:52:54,538 Dayonte was here,                   Dayonte was there.            1296 00:52:54,638 --> 00:52:56,673  Law enforcement                  running down the tips,          1297 00:52:56,773 --> 00:52:58,408 chasing down the rumors.         1298 00:52:58,508 --> 00:52:59,409   - We'd actually heard            at one point                   1299 00:52:59,509 --> 00:53:02,646 he pulled into a hospital        in West Broward,                 1300 00:53:02,746 --> 00:53:05,015    and he died                     in the emergency room there.   1301 00:53:05,115 --> 00:53:07,217    I happened to have            an ex girlfriend                 1302 00:53:07,317 --> 00:53:08,552   who worked in                    that emergency room,           1303 00:53:08,652 --> 00:53:10,921 and I quickly texted her,           "You have a dead guy there?   1304 00:53:11,021 --> 00:53:13,190   Uh, maybe in                      his early 20's, Black guy."   1305 00:53:13,290 --> 00:53:15,025    And she's like, no.            - Stuff is all floating around. 1306 00:53:15,125 --> 00:53:17,427  - Yeah, the rumors were flying. 1307 00:53:17,527 --> 00:53:19,062 - And when investigators         turned up                        1308 00:53:19,162 --> 00:53:21,531 at Dayonte's old hangouts           to talk to friends            1309 00:53:21,631 --> 00:53:22,866    and family members,           1310 00:53:22,966 --> 00:53:25,001  they didn't always get           a warm welcome.                 1311 00:53:25,101 --> 00:53:26,436    In fact, just the opposite.   1312 00:53:26,536 --> 00:53:28,905   - They're incredibly            not receptive,                  1313 00:53:29,005 --> 00:53:31,141    and they're not having it.    1314 00:53:31,241 --> 00:53:32,676   - The case reinforced             a sentiment                   1315 00:53:32,776 --> 00:53:35,045   in parts of Broward County's    Black community                 1316 00:53:35,145 --> 00:53:37,214  that they couldn't get            a fair shake.                  1317 00:53:37,314 --> 00:53:39,616   Dayonte's supporters asking,    as others had,                  1318 00:53:39,716 --> 00:53:42,452 why a burglar was facing            a charge of murder.           1319 00:53:42,552 --> 00:53:46,456   - He's got a past of,             you know, robbery,            1320 00:53:46,556 --> 00:53:48,391    but he doesn't have            a violent past.                 1321 00:53:48,491 --> 00:53:50,126    The feeling is they needed    a Black guy to pin it on,        1322 00:53:50,227 --> 00:53:51,394   and they picked him.           1323 00:53:51,494 --> 00:53:54,598  So that was the feeling out of    a lot of his friends           1324 00:53:54,698 --> 00:53:57,234 and associates and a fair amount  of the Black community          1325 00:53:57,334 --> 00:53:59,603 in Broward that knew him.        1326 00:53:59,703 --> 00:54:02,739   - Dayonte's audacious escape      generated sympathy for him    1327 00:54:02,839 --> 00:54:04,341 on social media.                 1328 00:54:04,441 --> 00:54:07,210  He became something of           a folk hero to his supporters,  1329 00:54:07,310 --> 00:54:10,013   known by that                    childhood nickname, Moochie.   1330 00:54:10,113 --> 00:54:11,281    There's a rap song.            - There was a rap song.         1331 00:54:11,381 --> 00:54:12,482    - Run, Moochie Run.            Is that right?                  1332 00:54:12,582 --> 00:54:15,285   - Yeah, there was a hashtag,   Run, Moochie Run.                1333 00:54:15,385 --> 00:54:16,987   There was this outcry           on social media                 1334 00:54:17,087 --> 00:54:19,055  from his friends and associates 1335 00:54:19,155 --> 00:54:21,057    saying they should              take this opportunity          1336 00:54:21,157 --> 00:54:24,160   to look back into that case,      which is not quite            1337 00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:25,929    the way things work, folks.   1338 00:54:26,029 --> 00:54:30,700   - But then suddenly,           Moochie stopped running.         1339 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,135  - Coming up...                  1340 00:54:32,235 --> 00:54:35,338 The Great Escape                   and how it was done.           1341 00:54:35,438 --> 00:54:37,307    - He's got a crew helping.       - You know,                   1342 00:54:37,407 --> 00:54:38,608    helping him get out           of the shackles.                 1343 00:54:38,708 --> 00:54:41,011  - This is Ocean's Eleven stuff.  - Yeah.                         1344 00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:44,214   - But there would be              no Hollywood ending           1345 00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:46,850  when Dateline:                    Secrets Uncovered continues.   1346 00:54:48,952 --> 00:54:49,019    ♪                             1347 00:54:49,019 --> 00:54:51,354    ♪♪                            1348 00:54:51,354 --> 00:54:54,157    ♪♪                            1349 00:54:54,257 --> 00:54:56,693  - After Dayonte Resiles            pulled off that crazy caper   1350 00:54:56,793 --> 00:54:59,696 at the Broward Bounty courthouse   and went on the lamb,          1351 00:54:59,796 --> 00:55:01,998   a promising new lead came in.  1352 00:55:02,098 --> 00:55:04,334 A tipster claimed Dayonte        was hunkered down                1353 00:55:04,434 --> 00:55:06,970  at a Day's Inn                     about an hour away.           1354 00:55:07,070 --> 00:55:08,938  Law enforcement                    hightailed it north           1355 00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:10,573  and showed up in force.         1356 00:55:10,674 --> 00:55:12,108  - The information that          we were receiving is that        1357 00:55:12,208 --> 00:55:13,343   he was gonna go down             with a fight.                  1358 00:55:13,443 --> 00:55:15,478   So obviously,                     the SWAT teams were called.   1359 00:55:15,578 --> 00:55:17,914 - It was six days                  since Dayonte had busted out   1360 00:55:18,014 --> 00:55:19,349    of the courthouse.            1361 00:55:19,449 --> 00:55:21,551  Any dramatics in the takedown?    - No.                          1362 00:55:21,651 --> 00:55:23,687  He was taken in custody           without any incident           1363 00:55:23,787 --> 00:55:26,656    and brought back to             the Broward Sheriff's office.  1364 00:55:26,756 --> 00:55:29,192   - A greatly relieved,           Broward County sheriff          1365 00:55:29,292 --> 00:55:32,062   wiped giant omelette amounts      of egg off his face           1366 00:55:32,162 --> 00:55:34,130 and announced the arrest.        1367 00:55:34,230 --> 00:55:37,967    - Broward County in            South Florida is a safer place. 1368 00:55:38,068 --> 00:55:39,903  - So how did he do it?          1369 00:55:40,003 --> 00:55:42,539   How did a 21 year old             jailhouse prisoner            1370 00:55:42,639 --> 00:55:44,541   pull this thing off?           1371 00:55:44,641 --> 00:55:46,876    Well, by enlisting the help      of devoted friends            1372 00:55:46,976 --> 00:55:49,179    and family members,              that's how.                   1373 00:55:49,279 --> 00:55:51,581  - This is Ocean's eleven stuff.  - Yeah.                         1374 00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:53,583   - We're gonna break this guy      out of a courtroom.           1375 00:55:53,683 --> 00:55:55,118    - Very coordinated.           1376 00:55:55,218 --> 00:55:58,488 - Dayonte's recorded phone calls    from jail exposed the plot.   1377 00:55:58,588 --> 00:56:00,657    Once investigators            listened to them,                1378 00:56:00,757 --> 00:56:03,159 they learned they'd been            outwitted by a confederacy    1379 00:56:03,259 --> 00:56:05,662    of mostly teenage plotters.   1380 00:56:05,762 --> 00:56:08,231   He rounded up                    the Impossible Missions Force  1381 00:56:08,331 --> 00:56:11,868   and, you know, lit the match      and pulled it off.            1382 00:56:11,968 --> 00:56:13,837    - This is video of Dayonte     in jail                         1383 00:56:13,937 --> 00:56:15,372   on the morning of the escape,  1384 00:56:15,472 --> 00:56:17,574  preparing to put a plan         into play                        1385 00:56:17,674 --> 00:56:21,177    that investigators believed    he'd been hatching for months,  1386 00:56:21,277 --> 00:56:23,847   beginning with a key              that would unlock his cuffs   1387 00:56:23,947 --> 00:56:25,215   and shackles.                  1388 00:56:25,315 --> 00:56:27,684 How did he get his hands          on such a key?                  1389 00:56:27,784 --> 00:56:29,452    Prosecutor Maria Schneider.   1390 00:56:29,552 --> 00:56:32,455 - There was a deputy at the jail  who a couple of months          1391 00:56:32,555 --> 00:56:36,693   before this reported              having lost a handcuff key.   1392 00:56:36,793 --> 00:56:39,295 Losing a handcuff key in           the jail is a very big deal.   1393 00:56:39,396 --> 00:56:42,165    So if you lose one,           you have to file a report        1394 00:56:42,265 --> 00:56:45,101   indicating where you had it,      where you lost it.            1395 00:56:45,201 --> 00:56:46,803    - So we don't know whether    that key in fact                 1396 00:56:46,903 --> 00:56:47,871  unlocked his handcuffs.            - We don't know it exactly.   1397 00:56:47,971 --> 00:56:49,172 - But you wonder.                1398 00:56:49,272 --> 00:56:50,874   The investigators listened to    a phone call                   1399 00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:54,110    recorded just days               before the escape.            1400 00:56:54,210 --> 00:56:56,413  Dayonte was talking to a friend in the courthouse                1401 00:56:56,513 --> 00:56:58,882   who was describing the route      Dayonte should take           1402 00:56:58,982 --> 00:57:00,517    to get out of the building.   1403 00:57:00,617 --> 00:57:02,986 - We know that his friend        walked from the courtroom        1404 00:57:03,086 --> 00:57:05,522    down the stairwell              that leads to the third floor  1405 00:57:05,622 --> 00:57:08,925    to the secondary stairwell       that leads outside.           1406 00:57:09,025 --> 00:57:09,859  - And if you don't know            the setup,                    1407 00:57:09,959 --> 00:57:11,661    you could walk into            some dead ends?                 1408 00:57:11,761 --> 00:57:14,230    - Correct, correct.             You need to know where to go.  1409 00:57:14,330 --> 00:57:18,334   - Especially                     if you're in a hurry.          1410 00:57:18,435 --> 00:57:21,504   On the morning of the escape,    security video shows Dayonte   1411 00:57:21,604 --> 00:57:23,273   getting patted down.           1412 00:57:23,373 --> 00:57:25,241 You can see he's already           ripped apart the legs          1413 00:57:25,341 --> 00:57:28,411  of his jumpsuit                  to make it easier to kick off.  1414 00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:32,215   And underneath the jumpsuit,     he's wearing street clothes.   1415 00:57:32,315 --> 00:57:35,385    Later, the inmates approach     the courtroom fully shackled.  1416 00:57:35,485 --> 00:57:38,221 One prisoner then blocks         Dayonte's torso from view        1417 00:57:38,321 --> 00:57:40,290  and unlatches his waist chain,  1418 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:43,059  giving Dayonte's hands          room to maneuver.                1419 00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:46,196 - Speaks to Mr. Resiles'           kind of intelligence           1420 00:57:46,296 --> 00:57:49,499    that he was able to              organize this whole thing.    1421 00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:51,367  - He's got a crew helping him.     - You know,                   1422 00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:53,036    helping him get out           of the shackles.                 1423 00:57:53,136 --> 00:57:54,604   - When Dayonte enters            the courtroom                  1424 00:57:54,704 --> 00:57:56,940  with the other inmates,            he heads for a seat           1425 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,441 in the jury box.                 1426 00:57:58,541 --> 00:58:01,878   Investigators believe          that's when he unlocks his cuffs 1427 00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:03,213   and shackles.                  1428 00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:05,515  Now he's ready                    to make a run for it           1429 00:58:05,615 --> 00:58:08,685  as soon as all his confederates are in position.                 1430 00:58:08,785 --> 00:58:10,820   So there's two twins who are      eyes and ears in the court.   1431 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,522  - Yeah.                            - Who are they talking to?    1432 00:58:12,622 --> 00:58:15,058   - They're talking to            the people in the car.          1433 00:58:15,158 --> 00:58:16,092  - The getaway.                  - Right.                         1434 00:58:16,192 --> 00:58:17,694   And so when the car's            in position,                   1435 00:58:17,794 --> 00:58:21,998 one twin signals the other twin,   twin signals Resiles.          1436 00:58:22,098 --> 00:58:24,868   And he's like, okay,           now everything's in place        1437 00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:28,771 for you to roll.                    - And roll he did.            1438 00:58:28,872 --> 00:58:30,573 The sheriff picked up the story. 1439 00:58:30,673 --> 00:58:34,477    - One of the twins coughed       into a cell phone.            1440 00:58:34,577 --> 00:58:36,513 That cough was a message           to alert them                  1441 00:58:36,613 --> 00:58:39,916 to know that Resiles was          on his way down to the vehicle. 1442 00:58:40,016 --> 00:58:41,484  - The rest is history.          1443 00:58:41,584 --> 00:58:44,387   Defense investigator           Gentry Chambers.                 1444 00:58:44,487 --> 00:58:45,388  Look, was there                  a part of you, Gentry,          1445 00:58:45,488 --> 00:58:47,357  who said, "Man,                   that was incredible."          1446 00:58:47,457 --> 00:58:49,526   - Of course, I mean,             I'm saying to myself,          1447 00:58:49,626 --> 00:58:53,696   "How many guys actually evade  the police and get away?"        1448 00:58:53,796 --> 00:58:55,465   And away for a week.           1449 00:58:55,565 --> 00:58:58,368    - Except for one postscript    that punctures the idea         1450 00:58:58,468 --> 00:59:00,436    the young plotters               had thought of everything,    1451 00:59:00,537 --> 00:59:02,972  rather than just being             very lucky.                   1452 00:59:03,072 --> 00:59:04,674   - This is a poor kid             from the hood                  1453 00:59:04,774 --> 00:59:06,709  who didn't probably even think   this was gonna go down          1454 00:59:06,809 --> 00:59:08,244    the way that it went down.    1455 00:59:08,344 --> 00:59:10,747    The car that picked them up      didn't even have gas in it.   1456 00:59:10,847 --> 00:59:12,315 They had to stop                    to the gas station.           1457 00:59:12,415 --> 00:59:14,183    [laughing]                    1458 00:59:14,284 --> 00:59:15,952  - In the months ahead,             all eight of those            1459 00:59:16,052 --> 00:59:19,355    who helped Dayonte               were charged and convicted.   1460 00:59:19,455 --> 00:59:22,692    - He's very smart.               He's very charming.           1461 00:59:22,792 --> 00:59:24,928  Because he got all these people to put their own freedom         1462 00:59:25,028 --> 00:59:27,497   on the line for him.           1463 00:59:27,597 --> 00:59:30,266 - As for Dayonte Resiles,          he may have been back          1464 00:59:30,366 --> 00:59:32,936    behind bars                      on 23 hour lockdown           1465 00:59:33,036 --> 00:59:36,306  and facing new charges,            but he wasn't done.           1466 00:59:36,406 --> 00:59:38,841    - The escape is not the end   of it for this young man.        1467 00:59:38,942 --> 00:59:41,210    Oh, no, no, no, no.           No, he continues.                1468 00:59:41,311 --> 00:59:42,879 - Not long after                 he was captured,                 1469 00:59:42,979 --> 00:59:46,649   Dayonte wrote this letter to    the judge whose court he fled.  1470 00:59:46,749 --> 00:59:48,351    He apologized for bolting.    1471 00:59:48,451 --> 00:59:51,120    Said in his defense           that he didn't stray far.        1472 00:59:51,220 --> 00:59:53,556  Then he offered                  an explanation.                 1473 00:59:53,656 --> 00:59:56,793    - "I was clearly trying to      just gather evidence           1474 00:59:56,893 --> 00:59:59,329 for my defense."                    - Yeah, what did --           1475 00:59:59,429 --> 01:00:02,932 "I had to bust myself out        so I could be my own detective." 1476 01:00:03,032 --> 01:00:03,967    - Detective, right.           1477 01:00:04,067 --> 01:00:05,835   - To find exculpatory            information.                   1478 01:00:05,935 --> 01:00:07,270 - Right, to clear myself.        1479 01:00:07,370 --> 01:00:09,939  And, you know,                  you're a very fair judge.        1480 01:00:10,039 --> 01:00:11,341   Like I said,                      he buttered him up.           1481 01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:14,310    - Far from trying to gather      evidence to help his case,    1482 01:00:14,410 --> 01:00:17,080 Dayonte was actually busy           doing other things,           1483 01:00:17,180 --> 01:00:19,215    while he was hunkered down       in that motel room.           1484 01:00:19,315 --> 01:00:21,384   - He was just hanging out and     talking to friends            1485 01:00:21,484 --> 01:00:24,053    and going on porn websites.   1486 01:00:24,153 --> 01:00:26,689   - But Dayonte now had          other business to pursue.        1487 01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:30,026 Top of that list, feeding        the social media machine         1488 01:00:30,126 --> 01:00:33,496  to keep the Justice for Dayonte  campaign alive,                 1489 01:00:33,596 --> 01:00:36,633  recording this message,           which was posted on Facebook.  1490 01:00:46,409 --> 01:00:49,312    But Dayonte did sit in jail      for years.                    1491 01:00:49,412 --> 01:00:52,548 The trial                           finally took place in 2021.   1492 01:00:52,649 --> 01:00:54,350    And like everything            in this story,                  1493 01:00:54,450 --> 01:00:58,921 it would end with                   a can-you-believe-it twist.   1494 01:00:59,022 --> 01:01:00,523  - Coming up...                  1495 01:01:00,623 --> 01:01:02,158  Disorder in the court.          1496 01:01:02,258 --> 01:01:03,893  - As you're going back             into the courtroom            1497 01:01:03,993 --> 01:01:06,929    to announce your verdict...     - I'm like, "What am I doing?  1498 01:01:07,030 --> 01:01:08,464    This is not right."           1499 01:01:08,564 --> 01:01:12,035   - In an extraordinary moment,    a juror changes her verdict.   1500 01:01:15,705 --> 01:01:19,108  When Dateline:                    Secrets Uncovered continues.   1501 01:01:20,677 --> 01:01:20,743    ♪                             1502 01:01:20,743 --> 01:01:23,546    ♪♪                            1503 01:01:23,546 --> 01:01:24,380    ♪♪                            1504 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:25,682   Welcome back.                  1505 01:01:25,782 --> 01:01:29,252  Six days after Dayonte Resiles'  astonishing escape from         1506 01:01:29,352 --> 01:01:34,123   a Broward County courthouse,    a tipster gave up his location. 1507 01:01:34,223 --> 01:01:37,860 Surrounded by SWAT teams,          Dayonte quickly surrendered.   1508 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:42,598   Now he was about to return to    court to face murder charges.  1509 01:01:42,699 --> 01:01:46,069    But if you thought this was    going to be an ordinary trial,  1510 01:01:46,169 --> 01:01:47,470   think again.                   1511 01:01:47,570 --> 01:01:51,374   Another jaw dropping surprise    was in store.                  1512 01:01:51,474 --> 01:01:57,280    Back to Dennis Murphy with    The Figure in the House.         1513 01:01:57,380 --> 01:02:01,150   - In 2019, five years           after Jill Su's murder          1514 01:02:01,250 --> 01:02:03,986   and three years after             Dayonte Resiles' notorious    1515 01:02:04,087 --> 01:02:05,988    courtroom dash for freedom,   1516 01:02:06,089 --> 01:02:09,158    a billboard went up             in downtown Fort Lauderdale.   1517 01:02:09,258 --> 01:02:12,729    It was provocative in both       its wording and placement.    1518 01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:14,163  This billboard,                 which reportedly                 1519 01:02:14,263 --> 01:02:16,132   the sheriff could see           from his window                 1520 01:02:16,232 --> 01:02:17,967  showing the victim and             the person                    1521 01:02:18,067 --> 01:02:19,335  accused of killing her.         1522 01:02:19,435 --> 01:02:23,773  Saying two victims, one truth.    - And with a hashtag           1523 01:02:23,873 --> 01:02:25,308 Justice4Moochie.                 1524 01:02:25,408 --> 01:02:28,111  And it says, who killed         Jill Halliburton?                1525 01:02:28,211 --> 01:02:30,413    Who framed Dayonte Resiles?   1526 01:02:30,513 --> 01:02:32,081  - To this day,                   no one has figured out          1527 01:02:32,181 --> 01:02:34,450    who paid for that billboard   with its message                 1528 01:02:34,550 --> 01:02:36,953   that Dayonte Rosales            was yet another                 1529 01:02:37,053 --> 01:02:39,589   wrongfully accused Black man.  1530 01:02:39,689 --> 01:02:42,024 How provocative was that?        1531 01:02:42,125 --> 01:02:45,027 - It was a direct shot at        Broward Sheriff's office.        1532 01:02:45,128 --> 01:02:47,263  - It was really a middle finger  to law enforcement in Broward.  1533 01:02:47,363 --> 01:02:49,398  - Right, right,                  and it didn't really--          1534 01:02:49,499 --> 01:02:51,300 I don't think it swayed opinion. 1535 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,137  - To Jill Su's family,          it was a poke in the eye.        1536 01:02:54,237 --> 01:02:55,972   How painful was that?          1537 01:02:56,072 --> 01:03:00,476 - It wasn't more painful            than just made me a-angry.    1538 01:03:00,576 --> 01:03:03,045  - Dayonte's supporters          were angry, too.                 1539 01:03:03,146 --> 01:03:06,516    NBC 6 South Florida covered    some of those rallies.          1540 01:03:06,616 --> 01:03:09,152    Dayonte once more a symbol       of a system                   1541 01:03:09,252 --> 01:03:11,854  his supporters believed         was stacked against them.        1542 01:03:11,954 --> 01:03:14,323 - So many people,                  so many of our people          1543 01:03:14,423 --> 01:03:17,059  that have just been railroaded     through the justice system.   1544 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,228    It's just not fair.           1545 01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:23,299   - Dayonte's trial was looming  and the Justice4Moochie campaign 1546 01:03:23,399 --> 01:03:26,135 played right into                 the defense's strategy.         1547 01:03:26,235 --> 01:03:28,738    - Allari Dominguez,              one of Dayonte's attorneys.   1548 01:03:28,838 --> 01:03:32,008  - It's not a unique experience     or a unique thing to happen   1549 01:03:32,108 --> 01:03:33,242   that someone could be          falsely arrested,                1550 01:03:33,342 --> 01:03:35,211   especially if they're Black.   1551 01:03:35,311 --> 01:03:37,213   - Prosecutor Maria Schneider.  1552 01:03:37,313 --> 01:03:39,081    So you've got a very noisy     court of public opinion         1553 01:03:39,182 --> 01:03:41,484 looking over your shoulder here.  - We do, we do.                 1554 01:03:41,584 --> 01:03:42,418    And the defendant--            - And you have to deal with it. 1555 01:03:42,518 --> 01:03:44,754  It's a factor.                  - Yeah, a-and Mr. Resiles        1556 01:03:44,854 --> 01:03:47,890  is very charismatic and         he has a group of friends        1557 01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:50,927   who are very,                    very devoted to him.           1558 01:03:51,027 --> 01:03:54,230  - In late 2021,                 seven years after Jill Su        1559 01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:57,166   was stabbed to death,            Dayonte Resiles went on trial  1560 01:03:57,266 --> 01:03:59,001 for first degree murder.         1561 01:03:59,101 --> 01:04:01,070  He pleaded not guilty.          1562 01:04:01,170 --> 01:04:03,072    The trial came down              to one key issue--            1563 01:04:03,172 --> 01:04:05,241    The DNA at the crime scene.   1564 01:04:05,341 --> 01:04:06,976    But the best thing you have   going is the DNA, right?         1565 01:04:07,076 --> 01:04:11,214   - Absolutely.                  The DNA is indisputable.         1566 01:04:11,314 --> 01:04:15,651  - Turns out investigators found   Dayonte's DNA in two places.   1567 01:04:15,751 --> 01:04:18,621    Inside the house on a belt      and outside the house          1568 01:04:18,721 --> 01:04:20,723    on one of Justin's knives.    1569 01:04:20,823 --> 01:04:22,458  It should have                  been a slam dunk,                1570 01:04:22,558 --> 01:04:24,961 but the county lab where           the DNA was processed          1571 01:04:25,061 --> 01:04:27,296   had a history of controversy.  1572 01:04:27,396 --> 01:04:29,665 - Listen, nothing                 is ever simple.                 1573 01:04:29,765 --> 01:04:36,539    The BSO lab in 2015             was accused by a local expert  1574 01:04:36,639 --> 01:04:41,277    of mishandling how              they calculated the numbers,   1575 01:04:41,377 --> 01:04:44,180    the statistics of how often    in a population                 1576 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,216 it is likely that                   you would find similar DNA.   1577 01:04:47,316 --> 01:04:49,919 - It was a dispute over numbers,   the prosecutor said,           1578 01:04:50,019 --> 01:04:51,320   nothing more.                  1579 01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:56,225 - No one ever has accused          the Broward Sheriff's office   1580 01:04:56,325 --> 01:04:59,528    of getting                    the DNA processing wrong.        1581 01:04:59,629 --> 01:05:01,998 - Nevertheless, Dayonte's        defense attorneys                1582 01:05:02,098 --> 01:05:03,900  worked mightily                   to keep those doubts           1583 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,335    about the lab work            front and center.                1584 01:05:06,435 --> 01:05:08,971   They were also laser focused     on Justin Su,                  1585 01:05:09,071 --> 01:05:11,073   arguing that even the police   initially thought                1586 01:05:11,173 --> 01:05:13,809  Justin was the killer.          - I didn't do it!                1587 01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:15,544  - He was back in the hot seat.  1588 01:05:15,645 --> 01:05:18,080  That years ago                   intense interrogation,          1589 01:05:18,180 --> 01:05:20,116   relived now in court,          1590 01:05:20,216 --> 01:05:22,652 Defense attorney                 Michael Orlando.                 1591 01:05:22,752 --> 01:05:27,256   - I think it was focusing in      on-on his behavior            1592 01:05:27,356 --> 01:05:30,359 and where he lied to the police. 1593 01:05:30,459 --> 01:05:32,528   - Justin Su is gonna            go on trial, virtually,         1594 01:05:32,628 --> 01:05:33,496 for murdering his mother.          - Yeah, yeah.                  1595 01:05:33,596 --> 01:05:36,265    Basically,                     they put him on trial.          1596 01:05:36,365 --> 01:05:40,236  - When jurors went out,          deliberations dragged.          1597 01:05:40,336 --> 01:05:42,872   Finally, day five, a verdict.  1598 01:05:42,972 --> 01:05:46,075   Remember, Dayonte was charged  with first degree murder.        1599 01:05:46,175 --> 01:05:48,077   A stunner was coming.          1600 01:05:48,177 --> 01:05:50,513   - The defendant is guilty of   the lesser included crime        1601 01:05:50,613 --> 01:05:52,515 of manslaughter.                 1602 01:05:52,615 --> 01:05:56,419   - Guilty of manslaughter with   a considerably lighter sentence 1603 01:05:56,519 --> 01:05:57,820 than murder one.                 1604 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,456   A blow to the family.           So why?                         1605 01:06:00,556 --> 01:06:03,059 As is customary,                   the judge polled the jurors,   1606 01:06:03,159 --> 01:06:05,227  asking each if                   this was their verdict.         1607 01:06:05,328 --> 01:06:07,430  He started with the foreperson. 1608 01:06:07,530 --> 01:06:09,298 Another stunner.                 1609 01:06:12,601 --> 01:06:14,303  Let's play that again.          1610 01:06:15,504 --> 01:06:18,341    The camera was not allowed      to show jurors faces,          1611 01:06:18,441 --> 01:06:22,611 but this was unheard of,           a juror changing her verdict.  1612 01:06:22,712 --> 01:06:25,748  - He asked me,                    do you agree to manslaughter?  1613 01:06:25,848 --> 01:06:27,016  I took a pause.                 1614 01:06:27,116 --> 01:06:31,120   It felt like forever,          and then I just said no.         1615 01:06:31,220 --> 01:06:34,423  - Meet the juror who recanted.     Her name is Jackie.           1616 01:06:34,523 --> 01:06:36,392 We changed her appearance         because she's concerned         1617 01:06:36,492 --> 01:06:37,860 about her safety.                1618 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,062  - I sat there,                  and I took a deep breath,        1619 01:06:40,162 --> 01:06:41,430 and they're just waiting.        1620 01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:43,499  And I see them leaning forward,   like, waiting for me           1621 01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:44,700    to give the answer.           1622 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,370   - Minutes earlier, she says,    she'd been disturbed by         1623 01:06:47,470 --> 01:06:49,238   the reaction                     at the defense table           1624 01:06:49,338 --> 01:06:51,974 when the verdict of manslaughter  was announced.                  1625 01:06:52,074 --> 01:06:54,110    - They were patting            each other on the back.         1626 01:06:54,210 --> 01:06:56,078 And they were all smiles           and giggles.                   1627 01:06:56,178 --> 01:06:57,313 - And that didn't go down         well with you?                  1628 01:06:57,413 --> 01:07:00,683   - It did not.                    It just bothered me so much.   1629 01:07:00,783 --> 01:07:06,022    - It stiffened her resolve.      - And then I just said no.    1630 01:07:06,122 --> 01:07:08,524    And I felt relief.            1631 01:07:08,624 --> 01:07:11,193  - Jackie was convinced          Dayonte Resiles deserved         1632 01:07:11,293 --> 01:07:13,629  the more severe penalty          of murder one.                  1633 01:07:13,729 --> 01:07:17,266  But she says she presided over   a deeply divided jury.          1634 01:07:17,366 --> 01:07:19,935    The dividing issue,              she says, was race.           1635 01:07:20,036 --> 01:07:23,239  Jackie herself is Afro-Latina.  1636 01:07:23,339 --> 01:07:25,141 Remember, the country was        still gripped by                 1637 01:07:25,241 --> 01:07:27,643    an anguished debate             about racial justice           1638 01:07:27,743 --> 01:07:29,545 following George Floyd's murder. 1639 01:07:29,645 --> 01:07:33,482   And so, Jackie says,              was Dayonte Resiles' jury.    1640 01:07:33,582 --> 01:07:35,451 - One of the men                   started crying and was like,   1641 01:07:35,551 --> 01:07:38,287    "I can't send another young      Black man to jail."           1642 01:07:38,387 --> 01:07:40,489    And I looked at him           and I said, "Excuse me."         1643 01:07:40,589 --> 01:07:42,191    I was like,                     "If it was my brother          1644 01:07:42,291 --> 01:07:45,194    that committed this murder,    I would have no problem         1645 01:07:45,294 --> 01:07:48,297    sending my brother to jail       for the rest of his life."    1646 01:07:48,397 --> 01:07:50,733 - They'd been sequestered         for five days.                  1647 01:07:50,833 --> 01:07:53,102   They'd argued                  and argued again.                1648 01:07:53,202 --> 01:07:55,871  Eventually, Jackie says          she and others gave in          1649 01:07:55,971 --> 01:07:58,107 and went with the lesser charge. 1650 01:07:58,207 --> 01:07:59,809   So you voted for manslaughter  in the jury room?                1651 01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:01,610   - I voted for                   manslaughter, correct.          1652 01:08:01,710 --> 01:08:03,479    - But as you're going back       into the courtroom            1653 01:08:03,579 --> 01:08:04,947 to announce your verdict,         what are you--                  1654 01:08:05,047 --> 01:08:06,082  Are the wheels                    moving in your head?           1655 01:08:06,182 --> 01:08:07,950  - The wheels were moving, sir.  Yes, sir.                        1656 01:08:08,050 --> 01:08:10,386 And I'm like, "What am I doing?" 1657 01:08:10,486 --> 01:08:11,720    This is not right.            1658 01:08:11,821 --> 01:08:15,057    - So she did what she did,       said that one little word.    1659 01:08:15,157 --> 01:08:17,193 The judge dealt with the divide. 1660 01:08:17,293 --> 01:08:18,394  - ... jury going back.          1661 01:08:18,494 --> 01:08:20,029   They'll continue with            their deliberations.           1662 01:08:20,129 --> 01:08:23,099 - Back in the jury room,           Jackie says things got ugly.   1663 01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:25,835 She says she felt                threatened by one juror.         1664 01:08:25,935 --> 01:08:27,970  - He said, "You (BLEEP)           Puerto Rican!                  1665 01:08:28,070 --> 01:08:30,940    If I was to see you              out in the street,            1666 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,808  I would smack you in the face." 1667 01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:34,710   - But Jackie wasn't budging.   1668 01:08:34,810 --> 01:08:37,279  - I knew that what I was doing    was the right thing.           1669 01:08:37,379 --> 01:08:38,881   - So you come                    back into court and,           1670 01:08:38,981 --> 01:08:41,050  "Judge, we're not gonna            get there", right?            1671 01:08:41,150 --> 01:08:44,353  - And he just said, "Thank you   for your time served."          1672 01:08:44,453 --> 01:08:48,057 And that was it.                   - A mistrial.                  1673 01:08:48,157 --> 01:08:50,826  We spoke to five other jurors,     and some, not all,            1674 01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:52,495  agreed race was                 a divisive issue                 1675 01:08:52,595 --> 01:08:55,898   during deliberations.          After she was dismissed,         1676 01:08:55,998 --> 01:08:57,967 Jackie spoke with                 Jill's husband.                 1677 01:08:58,067 --> 01:09:01,437 - Dr. Su is a lovely man,         very humble, very kind.         1678 01:09:01,537 --> 01:09:04,306   Um, we spoke about it           and he started crying.          1679 01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:06,675 I started getting                  a little teary eyed as well.   1680 01:09:06,775 --> 01:09:08,777 And you know, I told him,        you know,                        1681 01:09:08,878 --> 01:09:12,715  I had to be the voice for Jill  because no one else wanted to be 1682 01:09:12,815 --> 01:09:15,317   and give her the justice that     you and your family deserve   1683 01:09:15,417 --> 01:09:19,288 to least get a little bit           of closure.                   1684 01:09:19,388 --> 01:09:21,757 - In a matter of months,          a new group of 12 would gather  1685 01:09:21,857 --> 01:09:23,259   in the same courtroom          1686 01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:26,395   and begin to weigh the matter     of Dayonte Resiles            1687 01:09:26,495 --> 01:09:28,898  all over again.                 1688 01:09:28,998 --> 01:09:30,399  - Coming up...                  1689 01:09:30,499 --> 01:09:33,769   Three little letters           that no one can agree on.        1690 01:09:33,869 --> 01:09:36,539 - That man's DNA.                1691 01:09:36,639 --> 01:09:38,107   DNA.                           1692 01:09:38,207 --> 01:09:41,010   - His DNA was nowhere           in her bedroom,                 1693 01:09:41,110 --> 01:09:43,045 or the bathroom,                    where this murder occurred.   1694 01:09:43,145 --> 01:09:45,948 - And Justin back                in the hot seat.                 1695 01:09:46,048 --> 01:09:48,150 - He lied about his whereabouts. 1696 01:09:48,250 --> 01:09:51,187  When Dateline:                    Secrets Uncovered continues.   1697 01:09:52,855 --> 01:09:52,922    ♪                             1698 01:09:52,922 --> 01:09:56,258    ♪♪                            1699 01:09:56,258 --> 01:09:56,292    ♪♪se                          1700 01:09:56,292 --> 01:09:56,325    ♪♪sed                         1701 01:09:56,325 --> 01:09:56,358    ♪♪sed of                      1702 01:09:58,027 --> 01:10:00,029  a gruesome murder has started.  1703 01:10:00,129 --> 01:10:02,998   - Three months after           the mistrial of Dayonte Resiles, 1704 01:10:03,098 --> 01:10:05,534    prosecutor Maria Schneider      was hoping this time           1705 01:10:05,634 --> 01:10:07,570    the verdict                    would match the crime.          1706 01:10:07,670 --> 01:10:10,439  To her, unquestionably            first degree murder.           1707 01:10:10,539 --> 01:10:13,209 - I know the strength of         the evidence that I have.        1708 01:10:13,309 --> 01:10:14,944    I don't need to play games.   1709 01:10:15,044 --> 01:10:17,546    I just have to tell           these people what it is.         1710 01:10:17,646 --> 01:10:20,049  - The state's theory of           the crime was this--           1711 01:10:20,149 --> 01:10:22,351   Dayonte broke into the house      to rob it,                    1712 01:10:22,451 --> 01:10:25,421   unexpectedly came across Jill     and the two fought.           1713 01:10:25,521 --> 01:10:29,191   At some point, Jill tried to      escape out the front door.    1714 01:10:29,291 --> 01:10:31,126    A neighbor said it was noon    when she heard                  1715 01:10:31,227 --> 01:10:34,463 an unsettling cry                coming from the Su house.        1716 01:10:34,563 --> 01:10:40,069   - I heard a high pitched, um,    shrieky sound                  1717 01:10:40,169 --> 01:10:45,140 and I saw a light colored object at the front door                1718 01:10:45,241 --> 01:10:48,944   and it was going back           into the house.                 1719 01:10:49,044 --> 01:10:51,280    - The woman thought             it was the Su's dog,           1720 01:10:51,380 --> 01:10:53,215  but the prosecutor said            it was Jill                   1721 01:10:53,315 --> 01:10:54,883  who let out that shriek         1722 01:10:54,984 --> 01:10:57,319  as Dayonte dragged her            back inside.                   1723 01:10:57,419 --> 01:11:01,323    - She puts Mrs. Su at noon     when Justin and Dr. Su          1724 01:11:01,423 --> 01:11:03,626    are not at the house alive.   1725 01:11:03,726 --> 01:11:06,462   - The prosecutor has a theory    as to how Dayonte was able to  1726 01:11:06,562 --> 01:11:09,265 drag Jill back in                 and tie her up.                 1727 01:11:09,365 --> 01:11:11,133   - It is possible that             during the struggle           1728 01:11:11,233 --> 01:11:13,135 when she tried to escape          through the front door,         1729 01:11:13,235 --> 01:11:15,004 that she was hit                  on the back of the head         1730 01:11:15,104 --> 01:11:17,039  and that could                    have knocked her out.          1731 01:11:17,139 --> 01:11:19,541   - The knife used to stab Jill  had a sharp edge                 1732 01:11:19,642 --> 01:11:21,176 at the end of the handle.        1733 01:11:21,277 --> 01:11:23,946 The medical examiner said        an injury on Jill's head         1734 01:11:24,046 --> 01:11:25,414    matched that shape.           1735 01:11:25,514 --> 01:11:27,583 Once unconscious,                  the prosecutor said,           1736 01:11:27,683 --> 01:11:30,052    Dayonte dragged her              into the couple's bathroom    1737 01:11:30,152 --> 01:11:31,620  where he murdered her.          1738 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,556  - There's very little blood in   and about the bathroom,         1739 01:11:34,657 --> 01:11:36,725  so that indicates to us           that she was stabbed           1740 01:11:36,825 --> 01:11:38,360   while she was in the bathtub.  1741 01:11:38,460 --> 01:11:40,062 - The bedrock of                 the State's case                 1742 01:11:40,162 --> 01:11:42,931  were the three letters          all juries love to hear.         1743 01:11:43,032 --> 01:11:45,634 - That man's DNA.                1744 01:11:45,734 --> 01:11:47,503  D-N-A.                          1745 01:11:47,603 --> 01:11:50,572    - And in the second trial,      prosecutors again pointed out  1746 01:11:50,673 --> 01:11:52,675 those two items,                    the belt and knife,           1747 01:11:52,775 --> 01:11:54,977   that contained Dayonte's DNA.  1748 01:11:55,077 --> 01:11:57,646    But in this trial,            there was something new,         1749 01:11:57,746 --> 01:12:00,282  a third hit with Dayonte's DNA. 1750 01:12:00,382 --> 01:12:02,551  It was found on                  that broken glass door.         1751 01:12:02,651 --> 01:12:06,021   - The point of entry,          which I think is very important. 1752 01:12:06,121 --> 01:12:08,157   You know, that glass             that he went through.          1753 01:12:08,257 --> 01:12:10,259  - T-the shimmy under the glass?    - Correct.                    1754 01:12:10,359 --> 01:12:13,329   - How certain was the analyst     who tested the DNA?           1755 01:12:13,429 --> 01:12:16,565    This is what she said about    the broken glass door.          1756 01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:27,643   - That is one number           with 27 zeros behind it.         1757 01:12:27,743 --> 01:12:31,413 That is multiple times more than   the population of the world.   1758 01:12:31,513 --> 01:12:33,682  - And when prosecutor Schneider told jurors about                1759 01:12:33,782 --> 01:12:35,250  that infamous breakout,         1760 01:12:35,351 --> 01:12:38,153 she said it was evidence           of his guilt.                  1761 01:12:38,253 --> 01:12:44,126 - Dayonte Resiles escapes        from a packed courtroom!         1762 01:12:44,226 --> 01:12:45,594   - And there was more.          1763 01:12:45,694 --> 01:12:48,664    After his capture,             Dayonte tried to enlist friends 1764 01:12:48,764 --> 01:12:52,434  to help him fabricate an alibi   for the day Jill was murdered.  1765 01:12:52,534 --> 01:12:56,338    So he bribed a corrections       officer to get him a phone.   1766 01:12:56,438 --> 01:13:00,209    - He was looking to get a-    get a cell phone                 1767 01:13:00,309 --> 01:13:01,643  smuggled into the jail.         1768 01:13:01,744 --> 01:13:04,780 - Sergeant Jason Hendrick        testified that with that device, 1769 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,417 Dayonte started enlisting people   in his conspiracies.           1770 01:13:14,456 --> 01:13:18,594 Little did Dayonte know,           the phone was tapped.          1771 01:13:20,295 --> 01:13:22,531  In one of those calls,          he asked someone to lie for him, 1772 01:13:22,631 --> 01:13:24,666 saying he was in Georgia,          not Florida,                   1773 01:13:24,767 --> 01:13:26,635   on the day Jill was murdered.  1774 01:13:34,209 --> 01:13:36,745   Jill's murder was on             the 8th of September,          1775 01:13:36,845 --> 01:13:38,414 and Dayonte's own                cell phone record                1776 01:13:38,514 --> 01:13:41,950 showed he was in Florida         that day.                        1777 01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:45,154 - He posted, um,                   posted and received messages,  1778 01:13:45,254 --> 01:13:48,590  a-and the GPS put it in          the location of Pompano Beach.  1779 01:13:48,690 --> 01:13:51,794  - And in an attempt to counter   the state's strongest evidence, 1780 01:13:51,894 --> 01:13:53,695    his DNA at the crime scene,   1781 01:13:53,796 --> 01:13:57,266 Dayonte asked one friend          to lie about that, too.         1782 01:13:57,366 --> 01:14:01,770    - To pretend that some guy     had a fight with the defendant, 1783 01:14:01,870 --> 01:14:04,106    caught him, took his blood,   1784 01:14:04,206 --> 01:14:06,809  and planted it                     at the crime scene.           1785 01:14:06,909 --> 01:14:08,177 - That's correct.                 - Okay.                         1786 01:14:08,277 --> 01:14:10,212   Only problem is, none of the   DNA from the crime scene         1787 01:14:10,312 --> 01:14:11,747   is from blood, is it?          - No, it is not.                 1788 01:14:11,847 --> 01:14:13,282    - No. Okay.                   1789 01:14:13,382 --> 01:14:16,185    - So was this case              impossible to defend?          1790 01:14:16,285 --> 01:14:18,520 Far from it, said                  Dayonte's defense attorneys,   1791 01:14:18,620 --> 01:14:21,323    Michael Orlando and           Allari Dominguez.                1792 01:14:21,423 --> 01:14:23,926   Their strategy was similar to  that in the first trial--        1793 01:14:24,026 --> 01:14:25,561 attack the DNA evidence.         1794 01:14:25,661 --> 01:14:29,164   - Our main theory in the case  was that he never                1795 01:14:29,264 --> 01:14:31,467    was the person that killed       Jill Halliburton Su           1796 01:14:31,567 --> 01:14:34,636    because his DNA was nowhere    in her bedroom                  1797 01:14:34,736 --> 01:14:37,306 or the bathroom,                    where this murder occurred.   1798 01:14:37,406 --> 01:14:40,175  - His DNA might have been found   in other parts of the house,   1799 01:14:40,275 --> 01:14:42,945 but not where Jill's body           was found.                    1800 01:14:43,045 --> 01:14:45,714 - Why is his DNA                 not in the place                 1801 01:14:45,814 --> 01:14:47,349  where there's a clear struggle? 1802 01:14:47,449 --> 01:14:49,451    The person was put             in the bathtub.                 1803 01:14:49,551 --> 01:14:52,654   Somebody turned on the sink,     threw things inside,           1804 01:14:52,754 --> 01:14:54,923 and DNA survived                  in the bathtub.                 1805 01:14:55,023 --> 01:14:57,459 But Dayonte's DNA                is nowhere there.                1806 01:14:57,559 --> 01:14:59,061   - And then there was              that murder weapon            1807 01:14:59,161 --> 01:15:01,363   found in the bathtub           with Jill's body.                1808 01:15:01,463 --> 01:15:04,399   Dayonte's DNA simply             wasn't on it.                  1809 01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:10,272    - He's excluded from being    any type of a contributor        1810 01:15:10,372 --> 01:15:12,975    to the DNA                     they found that night.          1811 01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:15,077  - Prosecutor Schneider           disputes that.                  1812 01:15:15,177 --> 01:15:19,214  She says it is possible for DNA  to dissipate in water.          1813 01:15:19,314 --> 01:15:21,817    Still, the defense remained    critical of all the DNA         1814 01:15:21,917 --> 01:15:23,318  collected at the scene.         1815 01:15:23,418 --> 01:15:26,822  Are you saying that is his DNA  but somebody planted it?         1816 01:15:26,922 --> 01:15:29,825  Or it was the lab got it wrong? 1817 01:15:29,925 --> 01:15:32,060  - I wish we could have           a crystal ball                  1818 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,864 and go back and find out         how exactly it got there.        1819 01:15:35,964 --> 01:15:37,733  - We focused in                    on a couple things.           1820 01:15:37,833 --> 01:15:42,304  One was to highlight the issue     of potential contamination.   1821 01:15:42,404 --> 01:15:46,041 The other was to bring out the--    some of the issues            1822 01:15:46,141 --> 01:15:47,643   that the lab has had.          1823 01:15:47,743 --> 01:15:49,611 - The defense also raised         the possibility                 1824 01:15:49,711 --> 01:15:53,282    of other potential suspects   for the jury to consider.        1825 01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:59,988   - Did the people that Justin     had invited over to the house  1826 01:16:00,088 --> 01:16:04,893 have a role in the murder         of Jill Halliburton Su?         1827 01:16:04,993 --> 01:16:07,663  - And in its cross examination   of Nan Yao Su,                  1828 01:16:07,763 --> 01:16:10,399   the defense made sure jurors     heard his description          1829 01:16:10,499 --> 01:16:13,368   of the person he saw            on the security camera.         1830 01:16:13,468 --> 01:16:17,005    - You said that the person     that you saw was white.         1831 01:16:17,105 --> 01:16:19,274   - Appeared to be white, yes.   1832 01:16:19,374 --> 01:16:20,943   - And if the defense              went hard at Justin           1833 01:16:21,043 --> 01:16:22,311  during the first trial,         1834 01:16:22,411 --> 01:16:25,414   they drilled down even harder     during the second.            1835 01:16:25,514 --> 01:16:31,353  - Justin was a suspect            in this case.                  1836 01:16:31,453 --> 01:16:34,089   But after Mr. Resiles            was arrested,                  1837 01:16:34,189 --> 01:16:38,727    then they no longer              pursued that angle.           1838 01:16:38,827 --> 01:16:41,396 - But police should have          pursued him, the defense said,  1839 01:16:41,496 --> 01:16:44,466    reminding jurors of           Justin's inconsistencies.        1840 01:16:55,510 --> 01:16:59,314 - When I was being interrogated,   I possibly said that.          1841 01:16:59,414 --> 01:17:01,750   I was under a lot of stress.   1842 01:17:01,850 --> 01:17:04,052 - He lied about his whereabouts, 1843 01:17:04,152 --> 01:17:07,456    saying that                    he was at the library.          1844 01:17:07,556 --> 01:17:12,227  And then it was like, "Oh, no,     I was in the parking garage   1845 01:17:12,327 --> 01:17:15,230    in the middle of September    in South Florida                 1846 01:17:15,330 --> 01:17:19,234  and I was taking a nap             in my car."                   1847 01:17:19,334 --> 01:17:21,269  - In closing arguments,         the defense said                 1848 01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:23,739   the state didn't do its job.   1849 01:17:23,839 --> 01:17:25,507 - What they've shown you            here today                    1850 01:17:25,607 --> 01:17:27,876  is not in any way proof           that Dayonte                   1851 01:17:27,976 --> 01:17:30,679  killed Jill Su at all.          1852 01:17:30,779 --> 01:17:33,382   - But the state doubled down   on its physical evidence.        1853 01:17:33,482 --> 01:17:36,118   - The science puts him there.  1854 01:17:36,218 --> 01:17:38,687    The science puts his hands      on a weapon.                   1855 01:17:38,787 --> 01:17:43,392    The science puts his hands    on an item that tied him         1856 01:17:43,492 --> 01:17:45,160   to Su's body.                  1857 01:17:45,260 --> 01:17:47,362  - Jurors started their           deliberations.                  1858 01:17:47,462 --> 01:17:49,731 The last time it took five days. 1859 01:17:49,831 --> 01:17:53,769 - Once the jury went into         a second day of deliberations,  1860 01:17:53,869 --> 01:17:55,671   I started despairing.          - Groundhog Day.                 1861 01:17:55,771 --> 01:17:58,407 - I thought, "Oh, my God,         it's either going to be         1862 01:17:58,507 --> 01:18:03,078 another hung jury                 or there's some jurors in there 1863 01:18:03,178 --> 01:18:05,313 who just are not                    seeing the evidence           1864 01:18:05,414 --> 01:18:06,915 for what it is."                 1865 01:18:07,015 --> 01:18:11,053  - Coming up...                    After seven years, a verdict.  1866 01:18:11,153 --> 01:18:12,788 - And you hear the words.          Tell me what's going through   1867 01:18:12,888 --> 01:18:14,222    your brain                     and your stomach here?          1868 01:18:14,322 --> 01:18:19,861    - I-I know that my body was     clenched so tightly.           1869 01:18:19,961 --> 01:18:23,098 - When Dateline:                   Secrets Uncovered continues.   1870 01:18:24,666 --> 01:18:24,733    ♪                             1871 01:18:24,733 --> 01:18:28,570    ♪♪                            1872 01:18:28,570 --> 01:18:30,238    ♪♪                            1873 01:18:30,338 --> 01:18:32,140    - Dayonte Resiles'               first murder trial            1874 01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,109   ended in a mistrial.           1875 01:18:34,209 --> 01:18:36,011   Now, after three days          of deliberations,                1876 01:18:36,111 --> 01:18:38,947   in this second trial,            there was a verdict.           1877 01:18:39,047 --> 01:18:41,083 Everyone braced for the reading. 1878 01:18:41,183 --> 01:18:42,484  - Ladies and gentlemen,         1879 01:18:42,584 --> 01:18:43,118   it's my understanding            you have reached the verdict.  1880 01:18:43,218 --> 01:18:44,686 Is that correct?                 1881 01:18:44,786 --> 01:18:47,589   - The defendant's supporters   and family sat near him.         1882 01:18:47,689 --> 01:18:50,058   But Jill Su's family           chose not to attend court        1883 01:18:50,158 --> 01:18:51,259 for this verdict,                1884 01:18:51,359 --> 01:18:54,429    not after their experience      the last time around.          1885 01:19:03,472 --> 01:19:06,241    Guilty of murder in           the first degree.                1886 01:19:06,341 --> 01:19:08,977  Quiet gratitude                 at the prosecution table.        1887 01:19:09,077 --> 01:19:10,445  And you hear the words.         1888 01:19:10,545 --> 01:19:12,581   Tell me what's going through     your brain and your stomach.   1889 01:19:12,681 --> 01:19:13,648   - I don't even know.           1890 01:19:13,749 --> 01:19:18,153   I-I know that my body           was clenched so tightly         1891 01:19:18,253 --> 01:19:22,224   that when I heard the words,   I just felt my whole body, like, 1892 01:19:22,324 --> 01:19:23,625  relax and say,                  "Thank you, God."                1893 01:19:23,725 --> 01:19:28,029 You know.                        Justice was done.                1894 01:19:28,130 --> 01:19:31,466   - Jill's husband was driving     when he got the news.          1895 01:19:31,566 --> 01:19:34,269   - Oh, my God,                   I have to stop my car.          1896 01:19:34,369 --> 01:19:41,143    I scream and I say,              "Finally, finally, finally.   1897 01:19:41,243 --> 01:19:43,445 All these years.                 Finally."                        1898 01:19:43,545 --> 01:19:45,547 Maybe we'll start                 to heal again.                  1899 01:19:45,647 --> 01:19:48,383    Maybe we can start to heal,     really heal.                   1900 01:19:48,483 --> 01:19:50,418 - Across the room                  at the defense table,          1901 01:19:50,519 --> 01:19:53,321  little reaction                   from Dayonte Resiles.          1902 01:19:53,421 --> 01:19:57,192   - He knows that any reaction   he would have, you know,         1903 01:19:57,292 --> 01:19:59,094   at that point                     it wouldn't matter.           1904 01:19:59,194 --> 01:20:00,862    It was not going to              change the verdict.           1905 01:20:00,962 --> 01:20:06,368   But he knew.                   It was a-a somber event.         1906 01:20:06,468 --> 01:20:07,969 - A manslaughter verdict         would have meant                 1907 01:20:08,069 --> 01:20:10,472  a 15 year max sentence.         1908 01:20:10,572 --> 01:20:13,108 A first degree murder conviction  meant the death penalty         1909 01:20:13,208 --> 01:20:15,410  or life without parole.         1910 01:20:15,510 --> 01:20:17,078  And now he's coming out          of Corrections                  1911 01:20:17,179 --> 01:20:19,314 in a pine box, probably.         1912 01:20:19,414 --> 01:20:21,316 It's that severe.                 - Yeah.                         1913 01:20:21,416 --> 01:20:24,686  - And the jury believed          the state's version of events.  1914 01:20:24,786 --> 01:20:26,388   - But a verdict is a verdict.  1915 01:20:26,488 --> 01:20:28,924  Both sides now                    had urgent business.           1916 01:20:29,024 --> 01:20:32,494    Should Resiles get            the death penalty or not?        1917 01:20:32,594 --> 01:20:36,865  - We strongly felt that            this should not be            1918 01:20:36,965 --> 01:20:38,533   a death penalty case.          1919 01:20:38,633 --> 01:20:42,270   - There was a lot of           mitigating circumstances.        1920 01:20:42,370 --> 01:20:44,339   The Su's were also consulted   1921 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,708 and they wrestled                   with the decision.            1922 01:20:46,808 --> 01:20:50,212    - I think in some respects       that he should die            1923 01:20:50,312 --> 01:20:53,281   just because of what he did.   1924 01:20:53,381 --> 01:20:54,549 And in another sense too,        1925 01:20:54,649 --> 01:20:57,419   I want him to suffer            in another way.                 1926 01:20:57,519 --> 01:21:00,488    Just living                      the rest of his life in a--   1927 01:21:00,589 --> 01:21:03,458    In a smaller enclosure that     he did that--                  1928 01:21:03,558 --> 01:21:05,293  than the bathroom that            he took my mother's life in.   1929 01:21:05,393 --> 01:21:07,362 - Hmm. What do you think           Jill would have said?          1930 01:21:07,462 --> 01:21:08,930 - Jill would say,                 no, she doesn't want to         1931 01:21:09,030 --> 01:21:12,701    take another life.            1932 01:21:12,801 --> 01:21:14,936   - In the end, the state took   the death penalty                1933 01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:16,304  off the table.                  1934 01:21:16,404 --> 01:21:19,341 That meant the judge had           no discretion in sentencing.   1935 01:21:19,441 --> 01:21:22,010    Dayonte Resiles would serve   mandatory life in prison         1936 01:21:22,110 --> 01:21:25,146  with no parole.                 1937 01:21:25,247 --> 01:21:26,982  At sentencing, the Su's          got the chance                  1938 01:21:27,082 --> 01:21:30,552   to confront the now convicted    killer of their beloved Jill.  1939 01:21:30,652 --> 01:21:34,256    - Dayonte,                       Jill is the kind of person    1940 01:21:34,356 --> 01:21:36,658    who could have helped you.    1941 01:21:36,758 --> 01:21:39,628  Instead, you kill her.          1942 01:21:39,728 --> 01:21:44,032    You kill her in cold blood,      like a psychopath.            1943 01:21:44,132 --> 01:21:47,035    - Then he dismissed              his wife's killer.            1944 01:21:47,135 --> 01:21:50,972   - After this, today,           Dayonte Resiles,                 1945 01:21:51,072 --> 01:21:54,643  I'm going to erase you           from my memory.                 1946 01:21:54,743 --> 01:21:57,679   In my mind, you do not exist.  1947 01:21:57,779 --> 01:22:00,649    - From Justin, the son whom      Resiles' side had tried to    1948 01:22:00,749 --> 01:22:04,185    portray as the real killer,    came another dismissal          1949 01:22:04,286 --> 01:22:06,288   and a grim prophecy.           1950 01:22:06,388 --> 01:22:10,292    - Dayonte, I found watching      everyone you know,            1951 01:22:10,392 --> 01:22:12,961  that you think love you         and that love you                1952 01:22:13,061 --> 01:22:15,163   slowly go on with their lives  1953 01:22:15,263 --> 01:22:17,966   and just forget about            who you were.                  1954 01:22:18,066 --> 01:22:21,369    You slowly become nothing.    1955 01:22:21,469 --> 01:22:23,672   - Normally, when the sentence    is mandatory,                  1956 01:22:23,772 --> 01:22:25,740  defendants have little to say.  1957 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,877 But Resiles spoke                 for 25 minutes.                 1958 01:22:28,977 --> 01:22:30,145  - Mr. Resiles,                    you can have a seat.           1959 01:22:30,245 --> 01:22:33,315 - He made the inevitable         declaration of innocence.        1960 01:22:33,415 --> 01:22:38,119    - I don't possess the hate,     rage inside my heart           1961 01:22:38,219 --> 01:22:40,722  to commit such a heinous crime. 1962 01:22:40,822 --> 01:22:43,558 - And then the insistence        that he, Dayonte Resiles,        1963 01:22:43,658 --> 01:22:47,162  was another wrongfully             accused Black man.            1964 01:22:47,262 --> 01:22:50,932   - This courtroom that             I currently sit in            1965 01:22:51,032 --> 01:22:56,204    is no place                     for people of my skin color.   1966 01:22:56,304 --> 01:22:58,139 - Finally, it was                the judge's turn.                1967 01:22:58,239 --> 01:23:00,275  - The court now                 finds you guilty,                1968 01:23:00,375 --> 01:23:04,379    adjudicates you guilty and      sentences you life in prison.  1969 01:23:08,650 --> 01:23:11,152  - Afterwards, the Su's,          Nan Yao, Justin                 1970 01:23:11,252 --> 01:23:14,522 and sister Mandy                   went to a local park.          1971 01:23:14,622 --> 01:23:18,159    The ordeal was behind them,      but scars lingered.           1972 01:23:18,259 --> 01:23:20,462   Justin still battles            the effects of trauma.          1973 01:23:20,562 --> 01:23:22,430    First from finding            his mother's body                1974 01:23:22,530 --> 01:23:24,399 and then being accused of           killing her                   1975 01:23:24,499 --> 01:23:26,301    during that painful            interrogation,                  1976 01:23:26,401 --> 01:23:29,504 reprised again and again         in the courtroom,                1977 01:23:29,604 --> 01:23:31,773   One positive,                   he did get the apology          1978 01:23:31,873 --> 01:23:33,975   he demanded from the police.   1979 01:23:34,075 --> 01:23:35,210  - I took it upon myself            to go talk to him.            1980 01:23:35,310 --> 01:23:37,112  And I told him, listen,            if your feelings are hurt,    1981 01:23:37,212 --> 01:23:38,313   basically I'm sorry,           1982 01:23:38,413 --> 01:23:40,315    but I'm here to do the job     for the victim.                 1983 01:23:40,415 --> 01:23:42,283  And that's m-my responsibility, is to the victim,                1984 01:23:42,384 --> 01:23:43,718 to find out who did this to her. 1985 01:23:43,818 --> 01:23:46,888  - Justin says the apology felt   matter of fact.                 1986 01:23:46,988 --> 01:23:49,991  - I went to the police station.  They apologized to me.          1987 01:23:50,091 --> 01:23:51,626   And then right after,             they just went into, like,    1988 01:23:51,726 --> 01:23:53,395  business stuff.                 1989 01:23:53,495 --> 01:23:56,097  I don't think they really know  even to this day,                1990 01:23:56,197 --> 01:23:58,266 don't really know                 what doing something like that  1991 01:23:58,366 --> 01:24:03,004    to somebody, like,             can cost them.                  1992 01:24:03,104 --> 01:24:04,739    - In the park where             the family gathered,           1993 01:24:04,839 --> 01:24:06,941  there's a bench                    dedicated to Jill,            1994 01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:09,177    embossed with her artwork.    1995 01:24:09,277 --> 01:24:11,846 They remembered the woman         who made helping others         1996 01:24:11,946 --> 01:24:13,214 her life's work.                 1997 01:24:13,314 --> 01:24:15,550    - It's Turn of the Century    America.                         1998 01:24:15,650 --> 01:24:17,919  - The hundreds of hours         she spent recording books        1999 01:24:18,019 --> 01:24:19,554  for the blind.                  2000 01:24:19,654 --> 01:24:21,623    She touched more lives than     you'll ever be able to count.  2001 01:24:21,723 --> 01:24:23,224    - Yeah, definitely.           2002 01:24:23,324 --> 01:24:26,327   She touched a lot of           people's lives, you know,        2003 01:24:26,428 --> 01:24:29,831   and it's a true fact             that if she were still alive,  2004 01:24:29,931 --> 01:24:34,135 she would be helping out.        2005 01:24:34,235 --> 01:24:37,272  - Justice now done for Jill Su, the gentle woman                 2006 01:24:37,372 --> 01:24:41,142 with a huge heart                  and generous spirit.           2007 01:24:41,242 --> 01:24:44,512 And an unfinished agenda         of good works remaining.         2008 01:24:47,315 --> 01:24:51,252 - That's all for this edition of   Dateline: Secrets Uncovered.   2009 01:24:51,352 --> 01:24:55,056 I'm Craig Melvin.                 Thank you for watching.
