143
00:07:05,291 --> 00:07:11,297

 that was relatively well-to-do.

Everyone knew the family.       

146
00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:19,872
   Ed was an executive          
   in General Motors.           

147

148

  never allowed anyone          
  to pay for anything.          

149

-He wanted people               
  to know he had money.         

150
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:29,615
  Ed drove a Cadillac.          

151
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:31,684
 He had a Rolex and was         
  always dressed to the nines.  

152
00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:33,519
He liked to live that lifestyle.

and he was so gregarious.       

154

Bobbe loved that.

 She loved playing golf         
and going to eat

   Bobbe fell in love.          

158
00:07:49,435 --> 00:07:53,372
   He swept her off her feet,   
   literally.

 warm and kind.                 

165
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:11,724
 But he had a reputation

   at General Motors.

 Ed had come back from Michigan.

He was upset, distraught.

 body is brought in for autopsy.

 of an overdose.

00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:51,490
not too far away.               

427
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:53,192
 -The marriage lasts nine years,

428
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:56,195
 until the night                
of April 6, 1989,               

429
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:57,963
  when the Henry County         
Sheriff's Office                

430
00:19:57,963 --> 00:20:01,300
  receives another call         
  from Ed Amos.

  -When Henry County Sheriff's  
  Department responded,         

432
00:20:04,303 --> 00:20:07,539
they found Carolyn on the floor.

433
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:08,807
   ♪♪                           

434
00:20:08,807 --> 00:20:12,077
 Ed had told the police         
on this particular night        

435
00:20:12,077 --> 00:20:14,880
  he and Carolyn had gone out.  

436
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,616
  They came back to the house.  

437
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:20,052
 Carolyn was still having wine, 

438
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:23,255
 and she retired                
  to get ready for bed.         

439
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:25,958
-Ed told the responding officers

440
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:28,760
 that she went upstairs         
  to get ready for bed,         

441
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,832
  and he said, "I heard         
 a thunk on the floor up there. 

442
00:20:33,832 --> 00:20:37,269
I thought it was the dog        
  jumping off the bed."         

443
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:39,972
  -At some point in time later, 

444
00:20:39,972 --> 00:20:42,474
 Ed went in to check on Carolyn 

445
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:44,610
   and found her on the floor   

446
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:46,078
  unresponsive.                 

447

   ♪♪                           

448
00:20:47,312 --> 00:20:48,847
 -At Carolyn's autopsy,         

449
00:20:48,847 --> 00:20:51,383
  the coroner is unable to find 
 any conclusive evidence        

450
00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:53,151
   as to how she died.          

451
00:20:53,151 --> 00:20:55,153
  -The autopsy                  
 didn't reveal anything         

452
00:20:55,153 --> 00:20:56,722
as to the cause of death,       

453
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:59,725
so, as a result,                
   the death was ruled          

454
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:01,793
  at that point in time         
as undetermined.

   ♪♪                           

456
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:05,097
-We've got more than one        
 police agency involved.        

457
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:07,866
   You've got Anderson dealing  
  with the first wife's death,  

458
00:21:07,866 --> 00:21:09,534
 and now you've got Henry County

459
00:21:09,534 --> 00:21:11,803
  dealing with                  
the second wife's death.        

460
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:14,072
-At the time of Carolyn's death,

461
00:21:14,072 --> 00:21:17,442
   we did make contact          
   with Henry County,           

462
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:21,513
  but there was                 
  no shared information         

463
00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:23,515
  before Bobbe's death.         

464
00:21:23,515 --> 00:21:27,085
Ed was considered               
   a possible suspect,          

465
00:21:27,085 --> 00:21:30,722
  but the investigation         
just dried up --                

466
00:21:30,722 --> 00:21:32,457
   became a cold case.          

467

   ♪♪                           

468
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:38,497

 at everything in 1994,         

469
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:40,032
 it was uncanny,                

470
00:21:40,032 --> 00:21:42,234
  his accounts                  
 to responding officers         

471
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:44,770
 at two different scenes        
  years apart,

"We were having a drink.        
   She went upstairs.

  the dog jumping off the bed." 

476
00:21:54,046 --> 00:21:56,548
 Same thing both times.         

477
00:21:56,548 --> 00:22:00,018
   After that, we felt          
that he could be involved       

478
00:22:00,018 --> 00:22:03,021
 in the murders                 
 of his first two wives.

 it's a tough situation.        

481
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,260
  You lose two,                 
  that's even tougher.          

482
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:09,594
But three times?                

483
00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:11,096
   That's a red flag.           

484
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:13,565
  -After digging deeper         
  into Ed's background,         

485
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:16,134
   detectives realize           
it wasn't just his wives        

486
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:18,970
 who died under                 
suspicious circumstances.       

487

  -A few months before          
Carolyn's death,                

488
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,943
   Ed had been living           
 with his mother                

489
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:27,412
for a few weeks.                

490
00:22:27,412 --> 00:22:29,881
She was an elderly woman.       

491

She lived alone,                
   and, at some point in time,  

492
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:36,922
 he called and reported         
  that his mother was deceased.

   ♪♪                           

494
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,926
  -There was no autopsy         
performed on Ed's mother        

495
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:42,594
   because of her age.          

496
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:44,596
She was in her later 70s,       

497
00:22:44,596 --> 00:22:49,668
   so they put it down          
as sudden natural death.        

498
00:22:49,668 --> 00:22:53,972
  -A reasonable person's got to 
look at the big picture and say,

499
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:57,909
"You got this one person        
that all these stories --

 Something's not right."        

501
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:02,781
   -You got to wonder           

502
00:23:02,781 --> 00:23:06,385
 whether you're actually        
  dealing with a serial killer  

503
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:11,156
   or somebody that is          
   just unbelievably unlucky.   

504
00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:12,591
   -As police consider          

505
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:16,194
  that these accidental deaths  
may actually be murders,        

506
00:23:16,194 --> 00:23:19,698
they discover a possible        
 common motive -- money.        

507
00:23:19,698 --> 00:23:21,266
   -During the investigation,   

508
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,268
  we found that Ed had received 

509
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:24,503
 $25,000                        

510
00:23:24,503 --> 00:23:26,004
  from a life-insurance policy  

511
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:29,508
regarding his first wife,       
Saundra's, death.               

512
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:32,377
Ed had received $400,000        

513
00:23:32,377 --> 00:23:34,679
 in life-insurance funds        

514
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:37,315
  from Carolyn,                 
his second wife's death.        

515
00:23:37,315 --> 00:23:40,986
  And regarding                 
   his mother's death,          

516
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:44,589
he received $1.3 million        

517
00:23:44,589 --> 00:23:47,426
that he split with his siblings.

518
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:49,394
 -Ed was making                 
  pretty decent money,          

519
00:23:49,394 --> 00:23:51,396
  but he liked to live          
 that lifestyle.                

520
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:53,398
  I think everybody had         
 that impression                

521
00:23:53,398 --> 00:23:57,702
   that Ed lived maybe beyond   
  his financial means.          

522
00:23:57,702 --> 00:24:00,205
  -Police want to know          
if Bobbe also had               

523
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:02,641
 a life-insurance policy        
  going to Ed.                  

524
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:05,710
   Not wanting to tip him off   
 about their growing suspicions,

525
00:24:05,710 --> 00:24:09,014
they reach out to Bobbe's family
for information.                

526
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:11,716
   -Talking to Bobbe's family   
   about that,                  

527
00:24:11,716 --> 00:24:14,052
   we learned                   
 that Ed wasn't in line         

528
00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:17,489
  for any big insurance payoffs 

529
00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:18,690
   for Bobbe's death,           

530
00:24:18,690 --> 00:24:21,259
but we found out                
 through Bobbe's family         

531
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:24,796
 that Bobbe was planning        
 on leaving Ed.

   ♪♪                           

533
00:24:26,064 --> 00:24:29,067
-Bobbe was going to divorce him,

534
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:31,837
 so, although Ed                
   wasn't gonna derive          

535
00:24:31,837 --> 00:24:34,673
   any life-insurance proceeds  
   from Bobbe,                  

536
00:24:34,673 --> 00:24:38,944
   there is a financial angle   
 to this death.                 

537
00:24:38,944 --> 00:24:40,745
   -Does she get half           
of the business he owns,        

538
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:42,814
half of any money               
  in the bank account?          

539
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:46,318
  I mean, all of a sudden, he's 
looking at a huge financial hit.

540
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,521
  So, that was possibly         
 the motivation                 

541
00:24:49,521 --> 00:24:51,389
for Ed to kill his wife.        

542

545
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:11,209
   police suspect her husband,  
Ed Amos,                        

546
00:25:11,209 --> 00:25:12,310
  may have killed her.

While continuing to investigate,

 -Bobbe was getting away from Ed

551
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:23,655
   because she thought          
  he had been having an affair  

552
00:25:23,655 --> 00:25:26,391
 with an individual in Michigan.

 his business --

 while Bobbe stayed in Anderson,

556
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,133
  so, through the week,         

557
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:37,769

   just days before her death,  

564

   a long conversation          

568
00:25:58,123 --> 00:25:59,925
 about the relationship,        

569
00:25:59,925 --> 00:26:01,960
 and it was devastating         

570
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,929
   but not surprising,          

571
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:07,599
   and Bobbe was just kind of,  

572
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:09,534
  "It's over."                  

573
00:26:09,534 --> 00:26:12,737
 And we believe Ed knew         

574
00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:15,173
 Bobbe found out                
about the affair.               

575
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:18,476
Then, even though               
 they are splitting up,         

576
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:20,312
  Bobbe made a decision         

577
00:26:20,312 --> 00:26:22,814
that she's going to go to       
  this Christmas party with Ed. 

578
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:26,217
 It was just one of those things
  that we wished she didn't go. 

579
00:26:26,217 --> 00:26:29,254
  -After learning that Ed Amos  
was potentially having an affair

580
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:30,855
   when his wife died,

 investigators reach out        
   to the other woman           

582
00:26:33,024 --> 00:26:35,460
 to find out what she may know. 

583
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,096
 -We learned from Bobbe's family

584
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:41,733
that her name was               
 Mary Zellinger.

I received a phone call,        

588

  and it was Detective Henahan. 

589

   "I'd like to talk to you."   

590
00:26:54,412 --> 00:26:57,849

that Bobbe Amos was dead,       

591

and I was just --               

592
00:27:00,018 --> 00:27:02,153
 My legs just gave out.         

593
00:27:02,153 --> 00:27:04,189

 about her relationship with Ed 

599
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,202
 and what she knows about Bobbe.

600
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:19,804
  -She admitted that her and Ed 

601

  had an intimate relationship  

602

  but that it was over,         

603
00:27:23,241 --> 00:27:26,845
 and then she told me the story.

604

  -When I first came in contact 
  with Ed Amos,                 

605
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:33,218
I was working in                
  the telecommunications field. 

606
00:27:33,218 --> 00:27:37,088
We did a project together       
for his company.                

607
00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:39,391
 He was a little flirty,        

608
00:27:39,391 --> 00:27:42,027
  a very handsome man,          

609
00:27:42,027 --> 00:27:44,529
   and explained to me          
  that he was widowed,          

610
00:27:44,529 --> 00:27:48,500
 and I felt really sad for him, 

611
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,368
but I enjoyed his company       
  a great deal.

00:27:53,905 --> 00:27:56,107
 and Ed traveled back and forth 

615
00:27:56,107 --> 00:27:59,077
 from Indiana to Detroit        
   regularly,                   

616
00:27:59,077 --> 00:28:02,647
 and we began seeing each other 
every other week,               

617
00:28:02,647 --> 00:28:04,616
  depending on                  
 what his projects were.        

618
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:09,087
It was a casual,                
 very fun relationship,         

619
00:28:09,087 --> 00:28:13,258
 and that then continued        
for a few years.                

620
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:17,362
And then things changed.

622
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:22,100
 -She related to me that        
  there were a couple of times  

623
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:26,604
  when she felt                 
   like she had been drugged.   

624
00:28:26,604 --> 00:28:28,139
  -One evening,                 

625
00:28:28,139 --> 00:28:31,609
  Ed invited me over after work 
 to have dinner,                

626
00:28:31,609 --> 00:28:34,345
and I didn't know               
  if it was in the food         

627
00:28:34,345 --> 00:28:36,514
 or the alcohol,                

628
00:28:36,514 --> 00:28:39,651
   but something wasn't right.  

629
00:28:39,651 --> 00:28:41,653
I went into the bathroom,       

630
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:44,856
and I just began to vomit       
   violently,                   

631
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:46,658
   and I was in so much pain,   

632
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:50,128
and I just wanted to die.       

633
00:28:50,128 --> 00:28:53,264
  It persisted, and --          
and a week later,               

634
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:55,700
  I finally made an appointment 
 with my doctor                 

635
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,103
  and told him                  
  how violently ill I had been  

636
00:28:58,103 --> 00:28:59,738
   and it was just lingering.   

637
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:04,109
  He did some bloodwork         
and found nothing wrong.        

638
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:08,179
  -She didn't know specifically 
 how she thinks he drugged her, 

639
00:29:08,179 --> 00:29:09,881
 but she felt that -- that way. 

640
00:29:09,881 --> 00:29:11,783
   -And it was very confusing.  

641
00:29:11,783 --> 00:29:15,754
My sense was that               
  he'd been using drugs on me,  

642
00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:18,123
   but it just didn't add up.   

643
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:20,592
   I-I-I trusted him.           

644
00:29:20,592 --> 00:29:23,428

  about Ed's character

  a disturbing secret.          

648
00:29:31,302 --> 00:29:33,605
  -It was in the fall of 1994.  

649
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,007
   I noticed his dry cleaning,  

650
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:39,544
 and I looked at the tag        
   from the cleaners,           

651
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:41,546
 and I saw this name --         

652
00:29:41,546 --> 00:29:43,148
   Bobbe Amos.                  

653

   ♪♪                           

654
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:48,820
When I saw that,                
  I realized that he's married! 

655
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:49,988
   ♪♪                           

656
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:52,557
-That caused her                
to be suspicious                

657
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:55,994
  and start questioning things. 

658
00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:59,631
  -But I didn't tell Ed         
 I saw that tag.                

659
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:02,433
 I wanted to see                
 how things played out.         

660
00:30:02,433 --> 00:30:05,804
  And so we had dinner          
  that evening,                 

661
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:09,007
 and he may have noticed        
 something's different,         

662
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,442
   but he looked at me          

663
00:30:11,442 --> 00:30:16,314
   and said, "You need to get   
far away from me                

664
00:30:16,314 --> 00:30:18,683
   because I'm a bad dude"...

  a kind of dead stare.         

667
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,156
 It sent a chill down my spine. 

668
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:29,727
 The voice that he used,        
 the look on his face --        

669
00:30:29,727 --> 00:30:33,898
I have never felt               
such evilness in my life,       

670
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:36,167
   and that was the last time   
I saw Ed.                       

671
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:37,468
  I-I was done.                 

672
00:30:37,468 --> 00:30:39,938
  -That's why she made          
the phone call to Bobbe.        

673
00:30:39,938 --> 00:30:43,775
 -I went through                
 all the information that I had 

674
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:45,076
   from Ed's business,          

675
00:30:45,076 --> 00:30:47,745
and, eventually,                
 I came across a number         

676
00:30:47,745 --> 00:30:51,916
that I felt was probably        
 a home number.                 

677
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:54,919
So I called that number,        

678
00:30:54,919 --> 00:30:58,790
  and Bobbe answered the phone, 
   and I said,                  

679
00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:01,759
"My name is Mary,               
and I want you to know who I am,

680
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:04,429
 and I want you to know         
   that I did not know          

681
00:31:04,429 --> 00:31:07,198
  that you were married         
  to Ed Amos."                  

682
00:31:07,198 --> 00:31:12,403
And then I said,                
  "You need to be very afraid.  

683
00:31:12,403 --> 00:31:14,372
   I think you're in danger."   

684
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:18,576
I felt like I was trying        
  to help her,                  

685
00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:22,447

going to trust me or believe me.

686
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:24,382
And then that call ended,       

687
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:27,518
 and that was December 1, 1994, 

688
00:31:27,518 --> 00:31:30,788
 and so 10 days                 
 after I made that call to her, 

689
00:31:30,788 --> 00:31:32,624

   investigators turn back to   
  Ed's employee Daniel Porcasi,

757
00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:30,802
I got the opinion               

758
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:33,905
  that maybe he didn't want to  
  be accused of being involved

  where I could interview him.

  -Ultimately, Porcasi admitted 

764
00:34:44,549 --> 00:34:47,785

765
00:34:47,785 --> 00:34:49,887

 a toilet-article kit --

   says, "Hey, take the bag,"

   to Daniel's house,           

782
00:35:27,024 --> 00:35:28,559
collects the bag.               

783

  immediately to get it back?"  

785
00:35:33,397 --> 00:35:35,566
   And he said he didn't look.  

786
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:38,136
 And my thought,                

787
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,171

was like,

"Come on. Really?

You didn't peek?"               

790
00:35:44,775 --> 00:35:47,945

yeah, he looked.                

791
00:35:47,945 --> 00:35:51,516
  We asked him,                 
  "So, what was in it?          

792
00:35:51,516 --> 00:35:53,985
   What was in                  
  that little satchel?"         

793
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:57,889
   -He says he found a syringe  

794

 and a washcloth                

795
00:36:00,525 --> 00:36:02,793

of a stain on it.               

796
00:36:02,793 --> 00:36:05,463
 -He said it was a big syringe, 

797
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:07,565
and that helped prove our theory

798
00:36:07,565 --> 00:36:11,569
about how Ed administered       
   the cocaine to her

in the hotel room               

802
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:19,377
   the night she died.          

803
00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:21,445

  in her drink                  

805
00:36:25,783 --> 00:36:30,454
  to cause her                  
   to further be incapacitated  

806
00:36:30,454 --> 00:36:32,657
 so she wouldn't resist.        

807
00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:36,994
-He diluted half an ounce       
  of cocaine in water,          

808
00:36:36,994 --> 00:36:38,930
   which is a lot of cocaine,   

809
00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:41,365
  and then pulled it up         
into the syringe                

810
00:36:41,365 --> 00:36:44,969
and injected it into her vagina.

811
00:36:44,969 --> 00:36:48,372
  It would have entered         
   into her system right away,  

812
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:51,809
and she began to overdose       
from it.                        

813
00:36:51,809 --> 00:36:54,478
  And then, of course,          
 he did some cleanup --         

814
00:36:54,478 --> 00:36:58,115
  put the syringe and the cloth 
in that satchel,                

815
00:36:58,115 --> 00:37:00,418
  called one of his employees,  

816

  to take out.

  -Ultimately,

 had a chance to take it

  saying his wife is deceased.  

823
00:37:18,736 --> 00:37:20,004
   He was diabolical.           

824

  what he was gonna do,

00:38:45,089 --> 00:38:47,658
   and husband Ed Amos begins.  

855
00:38:47,658 --> 00:38:49,894
 -Michigan state law had changed

856
00:38:49,894 --> 00:38:53,597
   not too long prior           
 to -- to Bobbe's death         

857
00:38:53,597 --> 00:38:57,134
 where that would allow         
  the prosecution to introduce  

858
00:38:57,134 --> 00:39:00,271
  what would be termed          
   as prior bad acts,           

859
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:03,040
  even if they weren't charged  
   criminally.                  

860
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,575
   ♪♪                           

861
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:06,510
 -That was huge.                

862
00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:07,878
   ♪♪                           

863
00:39:07,878 --> 00:39:11,816
  That showed the jury          
  that there's a history here.  

864
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:16,087
-We had witnesses               
from Indiana, Michigan --       

865
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:18,723
 family members                 
   and Mary Zellinger           

866
00:39:18,723 --> 00:39:20,224
 up to testify.                 

867
00:39:20,224 --> 00:39:21,525
   ♪♪                           

868
00:39:21,525 --> 00:39:24,595
  -Testifying was hard,         
  but I had to do that.         

869
00:39:24,595 --> 00:39:26,530
   It was humiliating,          
  embarrassing,                 

870
00:39:26,530 --> 00:39:30,434
   to have had a relationship   
  with a very evil man.         

871
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:31,902
 But, obviously,                

872
00:39:31,902 --> 00:39:35,106
   sociopaths are chameleons.   

873
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:36,407
   ♪♪                           

874
00:39:36,407 --> 00:39:39,977
He thought he was smarter       
   than everyone else,          

875
00:39:39,977 --> 00:39:43,481
 and, probably, he laughed at us

876
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:46,150
 that we trusted                
   or believed in him.          

877
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:47,518
   ♪♪                           

878
00:39:47,518 --> 00:39:50,888
  They walk among us --         
 these perverted people.        

879
00:39:50,888 --> 00:39:53,357
   They will sweep you          
 off your feet.                 

880
00:39:53,357 --> 00:39:55,726
They're charming,               

881
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:59,230
and they could be the one       
that will take your life.       

882
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,599
   ♪♪                           

883
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:03,667
-After three weeks of testimony,

884
00:40:03,667 --> 00:40:06,504
  on October 24, 1996,          

885
00:40:06,504 --> 00:40:09,173
the jury returns with a verdict.

886
00:40:09,173 --> 00:40:11,242
-We were shaking                

887
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:12,476
 because                        

888
00:40:12,476 --> 00:40:14,311
 we didn't know what to expect. 

889
00:40:14,311 --> 00:40:15,613
   ♪♪                           

890
00:40:15,613 --> 00:40:18,582
And then when they said,        
   "Guilty"...                  

891
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:19,717
   ♪♪                           

892
00:40:19,717 --> 00:40:21,485
  ...there was a cheer.         

893
00:40:21,485 --> 00:40:25,022
   There was such a...          

894
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,891
   sigh of...                   

895
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:29,660
   happiness,                   
  if there could be happiness,  

896
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:32,563
  that this guy                 
   is off the streets.          

897
00:40:32,563 --> 00:40:35,900
  -Ed was found guilty          
 of first-degree murder         

898
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:39,036
   in the death of Bobbe Amos   

899
00:40:39,036 --> 00:40:41,839
and was sentenced               
   to life in prison,           

900
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:43,107
   no parole.                   

901
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,242
   ♪♪                           

902
00:40:45,242 --> 00:40:48,579
 -I felt so much relief,        

903
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:50,481
 joy...                         

904
00:40:50,481 --> 00:40:53,350
  that justice had been served  

905
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:57,054
   and that he would never do   
   this again to anyone else,   

906
00:40:57,054 --> 00:41:00,991
 and that was --                
 that was all we could ask for. 

907
00:41:00,991 --> 00:41:03,994
-One of my first thoughts       
when he was found guilty        

908
00:41:03,994 --> 00:41:07,565
   is I thought about           
   the family of Saundra Amos.  

909
00:41:07,565 --> 00:41:10,067
I thought                       
 about Carolyn's family.        

910
00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:12,369
  I felt that there was         
  finally some closure in this  

911
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:15,840
and that a serial killer        
  got what he deserved.         

912
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,908
   ♪♪                           

913
00:41:17,908 --> 00:41:20,878
 -We put a lot of effort        
 and a lot of hard work into it.

914
00:41:20,878 --> 00:41:23,147
   It's what they call          
 a career case.                 

915
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:26,650
  Yeah, I'm --                  
   I'm happy with the results.  

916
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:29,687
   -I'm proud                   
to have been just a part        

917
00:41:29,687 --> 00:41:32,056
  of this whole investigation.  

918
00:41:32,056 --> 00:41:34,225
  It was a team effort,         

919
00:41:34,225 --> 00:41:36,093
 and, hopefully, Bobbe's family 

920
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:40,731
   will have some sense of --   
  of closure, as well.          

921
00:41:40,731 --> 00:41:53,978
   ♪♪                           

922
00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:56,213
 -I have pictures of her        
  in the house,                 

923
00:41:56,213 --> 00:41:59,350
 and I just always talk to her, 

924
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,852
  just telling her I miss her.  

925
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:03,621
  So...                         

926
00:42:05,322 --> 00:42:06,857
  Okay.                         

927
00:42:06,857 --> 00:42:10,561
   ♪♪                           

928
00:42:10,561 --> 00:42:11,996
It is sad                       

929
00:42:11,996 --> 00:42:15,566
 that we don't have her,        

930
00:42:15,566 --> 00:42:18,235
but we have the memories        

931
00:42:18,235 --> 00:42:21,472
  and we still talk about her.  

932
00:42:21,472 --> 00:42:24,108
   So, I think that's           
 how we keep her alive.         

933
00:42:24,108 --> 00:42:26,443
 She always was                 
  such a bright light.          

934
00:42:26,443 --> 00:42:30,848
