happen. 210 00:12:35,066 --> 00:12:39,734 You don't take someone in a canoe, put him in a lawn chair up a river, 211 00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:42,867 who can't swim. 212 00:12:42,867 --> 00:12:46,100

00:20:26,467 --> 00:20:28,123 [Joey] Proving that these cases were murders 376 00:20:28,123 --> 00:20:28,166 [Joey] Proving that these cases were murders 377 00:20:28,166 --> 00:20:30,100 and not just accidental deaths, 378 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:31,467 could be very challenging, 379 00:20:31,467 --> 00:20:34,867 particularly since it had been a number of years. 380 00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:37,367 Investigators knew that Michael Goodyear 381 00:20:37,367 --> 00:20:39,266 suffered from arsenic poisoning, 382 00:20:39,367 --> 00:20:42,800 which they originally thought was just an accident from work. 383 00:20:42,867 --> 00:20:44,266 So they decided to see 384 00:20:44,266 --> 00:20:46,867 whether any of Judy's other alleged victims 385 00:20:46,867 --> 00:20:49,166 had arsenic in their system. 386 00:20:49,166 --> 00:20:51,166 And that meant exhuming the bodies, 387 00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:53,800 literally digging up evidence. 388 00:20:53,867 --> 00:20:55,600 [Belvin] Arsenic is a chemical. 389 00:20:55,634 --> 00:20:58,123 You can't find it in just a routine toxicology screen. 390 00:20:58,123 --> 00:21:00,066 You can't find it in just a routine toxicology screen. 391 00:21:00,066 --> 00:21:03,634 You had to specifically test for arsenic back then. 392 00:21:03,634 --> 00:21:05,634 It's gonna remain in hair. 393 00:21:05,634 --> 00:21:07,700 It's gonna remain in your organs. 394 00:21:07,734 --> 00:21:11,900 So, we had to exhume Sergeant James Goodyear. 395 00:21:11,967 --> 00:21:15,467 Because we had to find out whether or not 396 00:21:15,467 --> 00:21:17,266 was he poisoned. 397 00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:22,533 We need the evidence to prove the case. 398 00:21:22,533 --> 00:21:24,367 [reporter] James Goodyear's death certificate 399 00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:27,500 says he died of heart failure in 1971. 400 00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:28,123 But law enforcement authorities don't believe that anymore. 401 00:21:28,123 --> 00:21:30,634 But law enforcement authorities don't believe that anymore. 402 00:21:30,634 --> 00:21:33,166 James Edgar Goodyear was exhumed from his grave, 403 00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:35,166 so investigators could look for arsenic. 404 00:21:36,734 --> 00:21:39,100 [Belvin] Sergeant Goodyear died in 1971. 405 00:21:39,634 --> 00:21:44,000 The autopsy was in 1984. 406 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000 So that's approximately 13 years. 407 00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:51,000 [Russell] The longer it gets, the more difficult it is. 408 00:21:51,066 --> 00:21:53,367 You do not have that sort of evidence that you need. 409 00:21:55,166 --> 00:21:58,123 [Belvin] We didn't think there was nothing left in that casket. 410 00:21:58,123 --> 00:21:59,900 [Belvin] We didn't think there was nothing left in that casket. 411 00:21:59,967 --> 00:22:02,800 That the body had just totally disintegrated. 412 00:22:03,533 --> 00:22:06,634 And, I was totally surprised 413 00:22:06,634 --> 00:22:10,700 when the medical examiner opened the casket up. 414 00:22:10,734 --> 00:22:14,266 And, there was a fully intact body. 415 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,600 It showed arsenic levels that were lethal. 416 00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:22,166 [Belvin] He was so well preserved, 417 00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:28,100 because of the amount of arsenic that he had in his body. 418 00:22:28,166 --> 00:22:30,800 [Nancy] He escaped Vietnam, but he couldn't escape Judy. 419 00:22:31,467 --> 00:22:32,533 She was evil. 420 00:22:32,533 --> 00:22:33,533 She was evil. 421 00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:50,000 Welcome back to Very Scary People. 422 00:22:50,066 --> 00:22:54,367 It looked like the walls were finally closing in on Judy Buenoano. 423 00:22:54,367 --> 00:22:56,700 Twelve years after her husband's death, 424 00:22:56,734 --> 00:22:59,600 the body of Sergeant James Goodyear was exhumed. 425 00:22:59,634 --> 00:23:03,533 Massive amounts of arsenic were found in his remains. 426 00:23:03,533 --> 00:23:05,967 The medical examiner changed his cause of death 427 00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:08,734 from natural causes to homicide. 428 00:23:08,734 --> 00:23:10,533 It was one more piece of the puzzle 429 00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:10,734 that authorities needed to try and bring 430 00:23:10,734 --> 00:23:12,700 that authorities needed to try and bring 431 00:23:12,734 --> 00:23:15,166 the suspected Black Widow to justice. 432 00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:25,367 Sergeant James Goodyear died of arsenic poison. 433 00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:27,734 [Ted] They were able to get the body exhumed. 434 00:23:27,734 --> 00:23:31,600 And, I think that he was in the ground for, like, I think, 12 and a half years. 435 00:23:31,634 --> 00:23:36,634 Then they found arsenic levels of lethal amount with him. 436 00:23:36,634 --> 00:23:39,100 [Joey] When Sergeant Goodyear came back from Vietnam, 437 00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,734 Judy was making all of these home-cooked meals. 438 00:23:40,734 --> 00:23:41,734 Judy was making all of these home-cooked meals. 439 00:23:41,734 --> 00:23:44,634 So it's believed that the arsenic found in his body 440 00:23:44,634 --> 00:23:48,734 is connected to all those meals that Judy was preparing. 441 00:23:48,734 --> 00:23:52,166 Arsenic is a good poison, because you can't taste it or smell it. 442 00:23:52,266 --> 00:23:53,900 So you can put it in any drink. 443 00:23:53,967 --> 00:23:55,233 You can put it in any food. 444 00:23:55,233 --> 00:23:58,500 And it is undetectable to the person who is ingesting it. 445 00:23:58,533 --> 00:24:02,467 [Belvin] And no one had any reason to suspect 446 00:24:02,467 --> 00:24:04,734 that his loving wife, 447 00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:06,734 the mother of his children, 448 00:24:06,734 --> 00:24:08,533 would just sit there, 449 00:24:08,533 --> 00:24:10,734 and watch him suffer and die. 450 00:24:10,734 --> 00:24:12,166 and watch him suffer and die. 451 00:24:12,166 --> 00:24:14,266 Now you have to ask yourself, 452 00:24:14,266 --> 00:24:16,367 what type of human being is that? 453 00:24:20,634 --> 00:24:23,800 That led to investigations 454 00:24:23,867 --> 00:24:26,800 of the homicide of Bobby Joe Morris. 455 00:24:26,867 --> 00:24:30,266 [Russell] We were able to exhume Bobby Joe Morris and get the samples from him. 456 00:24:30,367 --> 00:24:32,467 And it showed arsenic levels that were lethal. 457 00:24:32,467 --> 00:24:36,100 He was loaded up to killing at least 12 people, they say. 458 00:24:36,166 --> 00:24:38,100 James Goodyear, Bobby Joe Morris, 459 00:24:38,166 --> 00:24:40,500 all of 'em, every single one, even Michael, 460 00:24:40,533 --> 00:24:40,734 it was arsenic poisoning. 461 00:24:40,734 --> 00:24:42,266 it was arsenic poisoning. 462 00:24:42,266 --> 00:24:45,367 And they were put through really so much pain 463 00:24:45,367 --> 00:24:47,166 and anguish before they died. 464 00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:49,000 They were dealing with a cold blooded killer. 465 00:24:49,066 --> 00:24:52,266 [Belvin] The one mistake that she did make, 466 00:24:52,266 --> 00:24:54,600 was she didn't have any of them cremated. 467 00:24:56,867 --> 00:24:59,367 There was one of Judy's alleged victims that survived, 468 00:24:59,467 --> 00:25:01,066 John Gentry. 469 00:25:01,066 --> 00:25:04,000 Investigators found wiring in her house, 470 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,634 connecting Judy to the car bombing. 471 00:25:06,634 --> 00:25:09,000 And a poisonous substance at her nail salon, 472 00:25:09,066 --> 00:25:10,734 that tied her to John's mysterious illness. 473 00:25:10,734 --> 00:25:12,166 that tied her to John's mysterious illness. 474 00:25:12,166 --> 00:25:15,500 [reporter] Of all the people Judy Buenoano was accused of poisoning, 475 00:25:15,533 --> 00:25:18,367 John Gentry is the only one who lived. 476 00:25:18,467 --> 00:25:21,100 He became ill from some pills she gave him. 477 00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,100 She told him they were vitamin C tablets. 478 00:25:23,634 --> 00:25:25,233 [John speaking] 479 00:25:28,066 --> 00:25:30,500 [Mollye] John Gentry was complaining of a little bit of a cold, 480 00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:32,634 and she started giving him these vitamins. 481 00:25:32,634 --> 00:25:34,166 And instead, it made him feel worse. 482 00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:35,533 [Rick] So he just quit taking 'em. 483 00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:36,900 He put a couple aside. He said, 484 00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:40,166 "Well, maybe one day, I'll have 'em checked. It's just to see 485 00:25:40,166 --> 00:25:40,734 maybe if I'm... if it has something in it that I'm allergic to." 486 00:25:40,734 --> 00:25:42,800 maybe if I'm... if it has something in it that I'm allergic to." 487 00:25:42,867 --> 00:25:44,266 He put 'em in his briefcase, 488 00:25:44,367 --> 00:25:48,166 and we got 'em, and we actually send 'em off to the FBI. 489 00:25:48,166 --> 00:25:50,533 And they came back a few weeks later. 490 00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:53,166 Said it was a substance called paraformaldehyde. 491 00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:55,266 Comes powdered. 492 00:25:55,266 --> 00:25:57,467 And it's a disinfectant. 493 00:25:57,467 --> 00:25:58,700 But it's poison. 494 00:25:58,734 --> 00:26:02,367 The pills were supposed to contain Vicon-C, 495 00:26:02,467 --> 00:26:06,000 which is a very strong vitamin C. 496 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,533 She had emptied the pills, 497 00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:09,734 put the paraformaldehyde in the pills, 498 00:26:09,734 --> 00:26:10,734 and given those to him. 499 00:26:10,734 --> 00:26:11,734 and given those to him. 500 00:26:11,734 --> 00:26:14,734 We feel it was with the intent of killing him over time. 501 00:26:16,467 --> 00:26:20,166 Judy, obviously, she got tired of waiting on the end result, 502 00:26:20,166 --> 00:26:22,266 and speeded it up with the dynamite. 503 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,800 [Mollye] Finally investigators had this piece of hard evidence 504 00:26:28,867 --> 00:26:31,266 that they could use to potentially... 505 00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,967 show what her intentions were. 506 00:26:33,967 --> 00:26:36,100 [Rick] I think what bit her in the end was 507 00:26:36,166 --> 00:26:37,533 not killing Gentry. 508 00:26:37,533 --> 00:26:39,166 If he had died, 509 00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:40,734 there would've been some suspicion 510 00:26:40,734 --> 00:26:41,367 there would've been some suspicion 511 00:26:41,367 --> 00:26:42,500 but he was the key. 512 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,166 [Meghan] It was July 27, 1983 in Pensacola, Florida 513 00:26:49,266 --> 00:26:51,367 when Judy Buenoano was arrested 514 00:26:51,367 --> 00:26:53,900 for the attempted murder of John Gentry. 515 00:26:53,967 --> 00:26:55,467 [Ted] The very first time that she was arrested 516 00:26:55,467 --> 00:26:57,467 was for the attempted murder 517 00:26:57,467 --> 00:27:00,100 with the Vicon-C tablets on Mr. Gentry. 518 00:27:00,166 --> 00:27:02,500 She got out on a $50,000 bond. 519 00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:05,166 And then we turned around and we arrested for, uh, 520 00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:06,634 the murder of her son. 521 00:27:06,634 --> 00:27:08,166 That's something she didn't expect. 522 00:27:08,166 --> 00:27:10,367 [Nancy] When we had gone to arrest her, 523 00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:10,734 she pretended like she passed out. 524 00:27:10,734 --> 00:27:13,066 she pretended like she passed out. 525 00:27:13,066 --> 00:27:15,266 She acted like she was paralyzed. 526 00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:16,600 [Nancy] You can't believe that. 527 00:27:16,634 --> 00:27:17,867 She wasn't sick. 528 00:27:17,867 --> 00:27:19,967 [Pam] I think everything was a game. 529 00:27:19,967 --> 00:27:21,700 I found out real fast 530 00:27:21,734 --> 00:27:23,867 everything was for her benefit. 531 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,367 [Meghan] Judy was an experienced liar. 532 00:27:28,367 --> 00:27:30,266 She lied easily at will. 533 00:27:30,367 --> 00:27:33,634 She told many stories about her, her background 534 00:27:33,634 --> 00:27:35,066 and her accolades. 535 00:27:35,066 --> 00:27:36,066 So she told people 536 00:27:36,066 --> 00:27:38,367 that she was the heir to the Goodyear throne. 537 00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:40,634 [Mike] Her name when she was married was Goodyear. 538 00:27:40,634 --> 00:27:40,734 Then her name, 539 00:27:40,734 --> 00:27:41,700 Then her name, 540 00:27:41,734 --> 00:27:43,367 at some point, changed to Buenoano, 541 00:27:43,367 --> 00:27:45,266 and which is Spanish for... for good year. 542 00:27:45,367 --> 00:27:46,367 [Russell] She claimed that she was 543 00:27:46,367 --> 00:27:50,000 the great-great-granddaughter of, uh, Geronimo. 544 00:27:50,066 --> 00:27:52,066 She told people that she had doctorates 545 00:27:52,066 --> 00:27:53,600 in multiple disciplines. 546 00:27:53,634 --> 00:27:55,166 She told everybody she was a doctor. 547 00:27:55,166 --> 00:27:56,634 A doctor, they don't do nail salon. 548 00:27:56,634 --> 00:27:58,533 [Pam] When you addressed her professionally, 549 00:27:58,533 --> 00:28:01,166 it was Dr. Judias Buenoano. 550 00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:04,367 [Nancy] Judy said she's also a forensic pathologist. 551 00:28:04,367 --> 00:28:07,500 I think pretty quickly I knew she was lying to me. 552 00:28:07,533 --> 00:28:10,533 She did not know I was a police officer at the time. 553 00:28:10,533 --> 00:28:10,734 So I said to Judy, 554 00:28:10,734 --> 00:28:14,000 So I said to Judy, 555 00:28:14,066 --> 00:28:16,166 "I hear you're a forensic pathologist. 556 00:28:16,266 --> 00:28:18,166 Well, I'd love to talk to you about that. 557 00:28:18,266 --> 00:28:20,166 I'm a crime scene officer." 558 00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:24,166 And she immediately avoided me from that time on. 559 00:28:24,266 --> 00:28:26,100 [Meghan] But also, remember, Judy lied about 560 00:28:26,166 --> 00:28:27,734 every one of the deaths in her family. 561 00:28:27,734 --> 00:28:30,533 She had to lie to cover up everything she had done. 562 00:28:30,533 --> 00:28:32,100 So she told people that 563 00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,634 James Goodyear died of cancer. 564 00:28:33,634 --> 00:28:35,367 And she said, you know, 565 00:28:35,367 --> 00:28:38,000 that Bobby Joe Morris died of heavy drinking. 566 00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:40,066 She said Michael got killed 567 00:28:40,066 --> 00:28:40,734 in a training accident in military 568 00:28:40,734 --> 00:28:42,066 in a training accident in military 569 00:28:42,066 --> 00:28:43,166 when he didn't. 570 00:28:43,166 --> 00:28:44,266 She lied through her teeth 571 00:28:44,266 --> 00:28:45,867 every time she talked to somebody. 572 00:28:45,867 --> 00:28:48,066 [Nancy] She told me, "I would never hurt my son. 573 00:28:48,066 --> 00:28:49,867 I would never hurt anyone." 574 00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:51,467 But the truth was she did. 575 00:28:56,734 --> 00:28:58,900 [newscaster 1] Judy Buenoano walked into court today 576 00:28:58,967 --> 00:29:00,467 looking calm and relaxed. 577 00:29:00,467 --> 00:29:02,000 But when prosecutors talk about 578 00:29:02,066 --> 00:29:03,800 the 42-year-old's murder charges, 579 00:29:03,867 --> 00:29:05,867 it's like something out of Hitchcock. 580 00:29:07,734 --> 00:29:10,734 [Joey] Judy's first trial was for the death of her son, Michael. 581 00:29:10,734 --> 00:29:11,367 [Joey] Judy's first trial was for the death of her son, Michael. 582 00:29:11,367 --> 00:29:14,000 She was accused of poisoning him with arsenic, 583 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,467 and then when he was paralyzed from the arsenic, 584 00:29:16,467 --> 00:29:19,100 of drowning him on the canoe trip. 585 00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:21,266 Judy said, "This was terrible. Oh, my poor son. 586 00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:23,500 I was just trying to take him out for a canoe ride and... 587 00:29:23,533 --> 00:29:25,000 and this terrible thing happened." 588 00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,367 And it was all an accident. 589 00:29:32,367 --> 00:29:36,967 And... I have never met a person who believes that. 590 00:29:36,967 --> 00:29:39,634 But Judy sticks to, maintains 591 00:29:39,634 --> 00:29:40,734 that she is a respectable woman 592 00:29:40,734 --> 00:29:41,634 that she is a respectable woman 593 00:29:41,634 --> 00:29:44,634 and that she is absolutely innocent. 594 00:29:44,634 --> 00:29:47,266 [Russell] When I looked at the military records of Michael Goodyear, 595 00:29:47,266 --> 00:29:49,467 he had lines on his fingernails, 596 00:29:49,467 --> 00:29:52,266 and you can use those to trace back or relate back 597 00:29:52,266 --> 00:29:55,000 to the time which a person might've ingested arsenic. 598 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,634 And these lines showed that 599 00:29:56,634 --> 00:29:59,734 he would've ingested poisoning about the time he was home. 600 00:29:59,734 --> 00:30:02,100 So my conclusion was that... 601 00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,367 she had him come home for leave, 602 00:30:04,467 --> 00:30:06,100 she poisoned him, poisoned to kill him. 603 00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:07,100 It did not work. 604 00:30:07,166 --> 00:30:08,000 He survived. 605 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,467 And then she finished it 606 00:30:10,467 --> 00:30:10,734 by taking him out in the canoe 607 00:30:10,734 --> 00:30:12,367 by taking him out in the canoe 608 00:30:12,367 --> 00:30:13,800 and drowned him. 609 00:30:13,867 --> 00:30:17,000 [Belvin] It's just mind-boggling, 610 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,100 to watch your son 611 00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:21,600 sink like a rock 612 00:30:21,634 --> 00:30:22,734 and drown. 613 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,600 Only an evil person would do that. 614 00:30:39,867 --> 00:30:42,367 [newscaster 1] The Black Widow's case, as it came to be known, 615 00:30:42,367 --> 00:30:44,533 rocked Pensacola, Florida. 616 00:30:44,533 --> 00:30:46,900 Russell Edgar prosecuted Buenoano 617 00:30:46,967 --> 00:30:48,266 for her son's drowning. 618 00:30:48,266 --> 00:30:50,100 I likened her to a black widow who... 619 00:30:50,166 --> 00:30:51,867 ...fed on her mates and her young, 620 00:30:51,867 --> 00:30:53,100 and the name stuck. 621 00:30:53,166 --> 00:30:55,367 She took the life of her son, 622 00:30:55,367 --> 00:30:57,600 she took the life of her husband 623 00:30:57,634 --> 00:30:59,467 and the life of people who cared about her. 624 00:30:59,467 --> 00:31:01,500 She killed for financial gain. 625 00:31:01,533 --> 00:31:02,372 At one point, the defendant called the whole thing a witch-hunt. 626 00:31:02,372 --> 00:31:05,000 At one point, the defendant called the whole thing a witch-hunt. 627 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,100 [Russell] She started yelling at me. 628 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:07,734 She would just say, "I didn't do it. It's not murder. 629 00:31:07,734 --> 00:31:09,266 I've been framed. You're on a witch-hunt." 630 00:31:09,266 --> 00:31:11,000 And that was basically her mantra. 631 00:31:11,066 --> 00:31:15,533 Defamation, assassination of character and the person. 632 00:31:15,533 --> 00:31:17,734 They turn you into a vile monster. 633 00:31:17,734 --> 00:31:18,867 There was no attempt 634 00:31:18,867 --> 00:31:21,600 to assassinate anyone's character. 635 00:31:21,634 --> 00:31:22,634 Uh, we deal with facts. 636 00:31:22,634 --> 00:31:23,634 We deal with evidence. 637 00:31:23,634 --> 00:31:26,266 [Meghan] Judy said she's never been anything 638 00:31:26,367 --> 00:31:27,367 but a good mother. 639 00:31:27,467 --> 00:31:29,634 The ten men and two women of the jury 640 00:31:29,634 --> 00:31:32,372 will have a chance to make that determination themselves. 641 00:31:32,372 --> 00:31:33,000 will have a chance to make that determination themselves. 642 00:31:34,634 --> 00:31:37,166 [Joey] Prosecutors showed the heavy metal braces 643 00:31:37,166 --> 00:31:40,000 that Michael was wearing when he drowned, 644 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,800 and people could not believe 645 00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:44,166 that a mother could possibly do that to her son. 646 00:31:45,867 --> 00:31:47,734 The trial lasted nine days 647 00:31:47,734 --> 00:31:49,533 before jurors came back with a verdict. 648 00:31:50,634 --> 00:31:52,634 [juror 1] We, the jury, find the defendant 649 00:31:52,634 --> 00:31:54,600 guilty of murder in first degree... 650 00:31:56,533 --> 00:31:59,634 She was sentenced to life without parole 651 00:31:59,634 --> 00:32:01,000 for 25 years. 652 00:32:01,066 --> 00:32:02,372 She wasn't happy. 653 00:32:02,372 --> 00:32:02,867 She wasn't happy. 654 00:32:02,867 --> 00:32:04,867 And in front of the jury, she lost it. 655 00:32:04,867 --> 00:32:06,467 [Ted] She was walking out and I... 656 00:32:06,467 --> 00:32:08,166 said "bye-bye" to her like that. 657 00:32:08,166 --> 00:32:10,367 Well, actually, it was ta-ta and, uh... 658 00:32:10,467 --> 00:32:13,166 she tried to come over the rail [laughs] after me. 659 00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:15,066 Her and I didn't get along at all. 660 00:32:15,066 --> 00:32:16,900 [Meghan] I think that the mask probably slipped, 661 00:32:16,967 --> 00:32:18,634 the facade probably broke a little bit, 662 00:32:18,634 --> 00:32:20,266 because she was actually convicted. 663 00:32:20,266 --> 00:32:23,467 In the eyes of the law and everyone else around, 664 00:32:23,467 --> 00:32:25,867 she's no longer a woman with status. 665 00:32:25,867 --> 00:32:28,700 And that probably, really broke her. 666 00:32:28,734 --> 00:32:31,166 It's almost like her face just changed 667 00:32:31,266 --> 00:32:32,372 and she became the killer. 668 00:32:32,372 --> 00:32:32,467 and she became the killer. 669 00:32:32,467 --> 00:32:34,266 It was very interesting. 670 00:32:34,266 --> 00:32:36,800 [Paula] Her outburst, her anger, her... 671 00:32:36,867 --> 00:32:39,000 And that was a Judy I didn't know. 672 00:32:39,066 --> 00:32:41,166 But once I saw those, 673 00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:42,800 we knew that she was evil. 674 00:32:42,867 --> 00:32:43,967 She was flat evil. 675 00:32:50,066 --> 00:32:53,066 [Joey] Six months later, Judy was back in court. 676 00:32:53,066 --> 00:32:56,166 This time, she was facing attempted murder charges 677 00:32:56,166 --> 00:32:58,100 for attempting to kill her fiance, 678 00:32:58,634 --> 00:33:00,166 John Gentry. 679 00:33:00,266 --> 00:33:01,700 [Belvin] She had two counts of 680 00:33:01,734 --> 00:33:02,372 attempted murder on Gentry by poisoning 681 00:33:02,372 --> 00:33:04,734 attempted murder on Gentry by poisoning 682 00:33:04,734 --> 00:33:06,367 and by trying to blow him up. 683 00:33:07,734 --> 00:33:10,467 [newscaster 2] Judy Buenoano conferred with council several times 684 00:33:10,467 --> 00:33:13,266 during the testimony of her former boyfriend, John Gentry. 685 00:33:13,266 --> 00:33:14,266 A friend testified 686 00:33:14,266 --> 00:33:15,967 that at that time Buenoano told her 687 00:33:15,967 --> 00:33:18,634 Gentry was suffering from a terminal disease. 688 00:33:18,634 --> 00:33:20,600 She was talking about taking her staff 689 00:33:20,634 --> 00:33:23,000 on this cruise along with her family. 690 00:33:23,734 --> 00:33:26,066 But Old John wouldn't be there 691 00:33:26,066 --> 00:33:27,634 'cause John was dying. 692 00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:30,800 Judy told me that John had cancer 693 00:33:31,533 --> 00:33:32,372 and was going to die 694 00:33:32,372 --> 00:33:33,967 and was going to die 695 00:33:33,967 --> 00:33:36,266 and he really didn't want anyone to know that. 696 00:33:36,266 --> 00:33:37,867 [newscaster 2] Gentry did not have cancer 697 00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:39,166 but did come close to death. 698 00:33:40,367 --> 00:33:43,100 [Joey] The jury deliberated for just two hours 699 00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,066 and handed down a guilty verdict. 700 00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:47,967 Another 12 years was added to her sentence. 701 00:33:47,967 --> 00:33:50,467 And there was one more trial to come. 702 00:33:50,467 --> 00:33:53,867 [Belvin] And then after that, we started the trial 703 00:33:53,867 --> 00:33:57,500 for the murder of her husband, James Goodyear. 704 00:33:57,533 --> 00:34:01,266 We sought the death penalty in that case. 705 00:34:01,266 --> 00:34:02,372 It was not an easy case. 706 00:34:02,372 --> 00:34:03,066 It was not an easy case. 707 00:34:03,066 --> 00:34:05,634 She had this ability to charm men. 708 00:34:07,867 --> 00:34:11,266 [newscaster 3] Judy Buenoano greeted spectators with a smile this morning 709 00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:14,867 as the first day of testimony in her murder trial got underway. 710 00:34:14,867 --> 00:34:16,600 Authorities say she killed her husband 711 00:34:16,634 --> 00:34:18,967 with arsenic poisoning in 1971 712 00:34:18,967 --> 00:34:21,800 and they say they have autopsy results to prove it. 713 00:34:21,867 --> 00:34:24,634 You know, you hear the phrase, someone is the "ice queen." 714 00:34:25,533 --> 00:34:28,467 She was just a very cold, 715 00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:31,700 calculating individual. 716 00:34:31,734 --> 00:34:32,372 The evidence has shown 717 00:34:32,372 --> 00:34:34,166 The evidence has shown 718 00:34:35,166 --> 00:34:39,634 that this woman was unhappy in her marriage. 719 00:34:41,066 --> 00:34:44,900 She... wanted out of it. 720 00:34:46,467 --> 00:34:50,166 The case was built around the fact that 721 00:34:50,266 --> 00:34:54,266 Judy made admissions that she had killed Goodyear. 722 00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:58,166 She said he was no help to her so she killed the son of a bitch. 723 00:34:58,166 --> 00:34:59,734 "He didn't deserve to live." 724 00:34:59,734 --> 00:35:01,533 [Mollye] She told people that he got on her nerves, 725 00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:02,372 that he wasn't a help, 726 00:35:02,372 --> 00:35:02,600 that he wasn't a help, 727 00:35:02,634 --> 00:35:04,000 that she was doing all the work 728 00:35:04,066 --> 00:35:05,900 and he wasn't supportive of her. 729 00:35:05,967 --> 00:35:08,266 But he had not been back very long 730 00:35:08,266 --> 00:35:09,967 before she started poisoning him. 731 00:35:09,967 --> 00:35:11,533 So I don't know how much of that was true 732 00:35:11,533 --> 00:35:14,600 or how much of that was just justification in her own mind 733 00:35:14,634 --> 00:35:16,700 to justify what she wanted to do. 734 00:35:16,734 --> 00:35:18,533 [Meghan] We call it the techniques of neutralization. 735 00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:20,166 When it comes to criminological theory, 736 00:35:20,166 --> 00:35:22,066 people tend to neutralize their own guilt 737 00:35:22,066 --> 00:35:23,266 by making excuses. 738 00:35:23,266 --> 00:35:24,467 So there's justification. 739 00:35:24,467 --> 00:35:26,066 She's denying that he's a victim, 740 00:35:26,066 --> 00:35:27,367 and she is really the victim. 741 00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:29,500 [Belvin] She told another young lady 742 00:35:29,533 --> 00:35:31,867 that "If you wanted to leave your husband, 743 00:35:31,867 --> 00:35:32,372 don't divorce him, kill him." 744 00:35:32,372 --> 00:35:33,533 don't divorce him, kill him." 745 00:35:33,533 --> 00:35:35,266 She went to the grocery store 746 00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:38,000 and showed them where they could purchase the poison. 747 00:35:38,066 --> 00:35:39,900 Judy said to me that what I should do 748 00:35:39,967 --> 00:35:41,634 was kill the SOB. 749 00:35:41,634 --> 00:35:43,166 She said, "If you want to do it, 750 00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:45,100 we can get... get a poison 751 00:35:45,166 --> 00:35:46,634 out here in the grocery store 752 00:35:46,634 --> 00:35:48,867 in the fly bait department." 753 00:35:48,867 --> 00:35:50,634 Said it has arsenic in it. 754 00:35:50,634 --> 00:35:53,166 That's how Judy told me that she killed James. 755 00:35:53,266 --> 00:35:56,166 And you had a motive, insurance money. 756 00:35:56,166 --> 00:35:59,100 Prosecutors still have more witnesses to call, 757 00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,372 and already Buenoano has a lot of explaining to do. 758 00:36:02,372 --> 00:36:02,600 and already Buenoano has a lot of explaining to do. 759 00:36:02,634 --> 00:36:04,734 She took no responsibility. 760 00:36:04,734 --> 00:36:06,600 She denied everything. 761 00:36:06,634 --> 00:36:08,066 [Judy] We had basically a good marriage. 762 00:36:22,066 --> 00:36:24,900 She had no reason to kill him. 763 00:36:24,967 --> 00:36:26,467 She had loved him. 764 00:36:26,467 --> 00:36:29,634 And they all basically had bad luck. 765 00:36:29,634 --> 00:36:32,372 And I can vividly remember doing closing argument 766 00:36:32,372 --> 00:36:33,266 And I can vividly remember doing closing argument 767 00:36:33,266 --> 00:36:37,266 and echoing the fact, "Yes, they did have bad luck." 768 00:36:37,367 --> 00:36:40,600 And I wheeled around and pointed at her and said, 769 00:36:40,634 --> 00:36:43,467 "And there sits their bad luck. 770 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,967 That's the bad luck." 771 00:36:55,634 --> 00:36:58,266 [Joey] It was 1985 and Judy Buenoano 772 00:36:58,367 --> 00:37:00,967 was facing a first-degree murder charge 773 00:37:00,967 --> 00:37:03,700 for the death of her husband, James Goodyear. 774 00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:05,166 She had already been convicted 775 00:37:05,166 --> 00:37:07,367 for attempting to kill John Gentry 776 00:37:07,467 --> 00:37:10,734 and for the first-degree murder of her son. 777 00:37:10,734 --> 00:37:13,100 [newscaster 4] Judy Buenoano has already received 778 00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,900 a life sentence for her son's death 779 00:37:14,967 --> 00:37:16,634 and could receive the death penalty 780 00:37:16,634 --> 00:37:18,166 if convicted this week. 781 00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:20,066 [Belvin] If there was any case 782 00:37:20,066 --> 00:37:23,961 that would warrant the ultimate sanction of death, 783 00:37:23,961 --> 00:37:24,634 that would warrant the ultimate sanction of death, 784 00:37:24,634 --> 00:37:26,367 it was that case. 785 00:37:26,467 --> 00:37:28,634 She showed no mercy, 786 00:37:29,867 --> 00:37:32,734 and I submit to you that she deserves no mercy. 787 00:37:42,266 --> 00:37:44,734 [Joey] Judy maintains her innocence throughout, 788 00:37:44,734 --> 00:37:47,000 but the judge and the jury weren't buying it. 789 00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:49,634 [juror 2] We, the jury, find the defendant 790 00:37:49,634 --> 00:37:52,734 guilty of murder in the first degree as charged. 791 00:37:52,734 --> 00:37:53,961 The jury convicted her 792 00:37:53,961 --> 00:37:54,266 The jury convicted her 793 00:37:54,266 --> 00:37:57,000 and the judge imposed a death sentence. 794 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,600 You shall be put to death by means of electrocution. 795 00:37:59,634 --> 00:38:02,000 May God have mercy on your immortal soul. 796 00:38:02,066 --> 00:38:04,367 Once they read sentencing, we were happy. 797 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,634 She was sentenced to death. 798 00:38:06,634 --> 00:38:07,800 [Belvin] She murdered him, 799 00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:09,800 all for the love of money. 800 00:38:09,867 --> 00:38:11,367 [Russell] Judy killed at least three people 801 00:38:11,367 --> 00:38:12,367 and tried to kill another one. 802 00:38:12,367 --> 00:38:15,100 Nobody suspected any foul play. 803 00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:17,100 [Russell] I think if she just stopped after her son, 804 00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:18,867 she would've never been arrested. 805 00:38:18,867 --> 00:38:20,100 I think she would've gotten away with it 806 00:38:20,166 --> 00:38:22,066 if she hadn't, uh, tried to kill Gentry. 807 00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:23,961 [Belvin] But for the miscue of John Gentry, 808 00:38:23,961 --> 00:38:25,634 [Belvin] But for the miscue of John Gentry, 809 00:38:25,634 --> 00:38:27,533 who knows the trail of death 810 00:38:27,533 --> 00:38:29,000 that she would've left. 811 00:38:31,533 --> 00:38:34,634 [Bob] For Judy, for many years, crime paid. 812 00:38:34,634 --> 00:38:37,800 Kill somebody... get an insurance check. 813 00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:39,600 And it seems like for her, 814 00:38:39,634 --> 00:38:41,600 the lives ruined in the process 815 00:38:41,634 --> 00:38:43,467 were just simply collateral damage, 816 00:38:43,467 --> 00:38:45,467 'cause after all her life got better. 817 00:38:45,467 --> 00:38:47,367 [Belvin] Cadillac, vacations. 818 00:38:47,367 --> 00:38:51,000 And then when the money got low, another victim. 819 00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:53,000 [Bob] As I recall, she collected 820 00:38:53,066 --> 00:38:53,961 in the area of $250,000 for her crimes. 821 00:38:53,961 --> 00:38:58,367 in the area of $250,000 for her crimes. 822 00:38:58,367 --> 00:39:01,266 [Belvin] If she would've been able to kill John Gentry, 823 00:39:01,266 --> 00:39:04,900 she would've added another half a million-plus. 824 00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:06,867 [Bob] Her greed finally caught up with her. 825 00:39:06,867 --> 00:39:10,000 That and her lack of a conscience. 826 00:39:10,066 --> 00:39:12,266 [newscaster 5] Fifty-four-year-old Judy Buenoano 827 00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:13,634 is a grandmother. 828 00:39:13,634 --> 00:39:17,600 She is also inmate number 160663, 829 00:39:17,634

00:39:26,734 --> 00:39:29,166 But she would never get out of jail in Florida. 835 00:39:29,266 --> 00:39:30,900 [Bob] She maintained her innocence 836 00:39:30,967 --> 00:39:32,367 all the way to the

closed her eyes and looked up and said, 866 00:40:46,066 --> 00:40:48,367 very loudly, "No, sir." 867 00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:50,867 And that was it. 868 00:40:52,166 --> 00:40:53,961 We were all
