[compelling music]
[Narrator] A popular and fun-loving college student.
Mindy was a very bubbly person.
She always seemed to be happy.
She had a light in her eyes, and she accepted everyone.
[Narrator] Is found savagely murdered in her apartment.
There was a belt wrapped around her neck,
and appeared to be a broken off-knife
still stuck in her throat.
[Narrator] Police need to determine,
was this a sinister obsession?
He had called and left numerous messages
on her cell phone.
Just really a strange type of relationship.
[Narrator] A crucial piece of evidence.
There was some material under the fingernails
of her left hand.
[Narrator] Shines a light on a dangerous predator
no one saw coming.
I was very shocked, I think everybody was.
He was not the man we thought he was.
I don't think I would ever expect that outcome at all.
[compelling music]
[phone ringing]
[suspenseful music]
I remember trying to call Mindy a few times,
and she wasn't answering,
so me and my friend Danielle drove, and parked in front
of her apartment across the street.
I ran inside, and knocked on the door,
and there was no answer, but it wasn't locked,
and so I opened the door and I stepped in,
and about two steps in, I saw something on the ground,
right in front of my feet.
[suspenseful music]
It was Mindy,
and then I noticed something around her neck.
[Narrator] Horrified, Mindy's friend rushes outside
to call 9 1 1.
[suspenseful music]
About 10 minutes before 9:00 that night,
dispatch called me at my house,
and said that they got a hysterical caller on the phone.
I got the address, and it was one block from my house.
When I have arrived, both Danielle
and Toni were very distraught, very upset.
[suspenseful music]
The apartment was located on the second floor
of the building.
As I entered, I could smell a very strong order,
like an ammonia disinfectant.
The body of the victim was
laying across the entry hallway.
And it appeared her throat had been half cut open.
[Narrator] Detectives begin their investigation,
and identify the victim
as 22-year-old college senior, Mindy Morgenstern.
I knew Mindy.
She was a student at the college.
I had seen her at a lot of their events,
and to see that it was her,
I was really surprised, and quite shocked.
[suspenseful music]
There was a belt wrapped around her neck,
and appeared to be a
broken off knife, still stuck in her throat.
It appeared that the belt was applied to the neck
prior to the neck being cut.
[Narrator] Investigators find an empty bottle
of disinfectant beside the body.
Somebody had poured the disinfectant over her body,
possibly trying to destroy any type of evidence.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] The killer tried to cover their tracks,
but investigators find something they missed.
There was some material under the fingernails
of her left hand, where possibly,
Mindy had scratched her assailant.
We felt that this was gonna be a DNA forensic type case,
based on the materials that were found
under Mindy's fingernails.
And to preserve that, the hands are placed
in bags for autopsy.
She had a purse around her right arm.
Her wallet was laying just outside of the purse.
It didn't appear that they'd been gone through,
or anything removed from them.
There was clean laundry around the body
in a laundry basket.
It almost appeared as if she was attacked
as she was going in the door with that laundry.
[suspenseful music]
It did not look like the apartment had been ransacked,
or gone through, so it didn't appear that theft was a motive
in this killing.
There was no sign of any forced entry into the apartment.
It told us that the person was either in her apartment,
or followed her in.
[suspenseful music]
Her cell phone was located, and the first missed call
on that phone was at 12:47 PM
on September 13th.
That gave us some indication
as to what time the attack may have occurred.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] By 10:00 PM, more than nine hours
after the first missed call,
detectives have little to go on as they work
into the night at the crime scene.
When we first left the scene the following morning,
we had no clear indication of who may have done this.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Police reach Mindy's sister
to inform her of the murder,
and she delivers the tragic news to her parents.
Front doorbell rang, and I said, "Who's there?"
And Rebecca, our daughter, she said, "It's me, Dad.
I've got some bad news."
And then Rebecca said to me that,
"Mom, Mindy is dead."
It was just like somebody taking a knife,
and just sticking it right into your heart.
I just wanted to try to just say, "No, this isn't real.
This didn't happen."
I didn't want it to be true.
She had such a loving, loving heart,
and I loved her very much.
[Narrator] Born in Bogota, Colombia on April 29th, 1984,
Mindy was adopted as a baby by Valley City farmers,
Larry and Eunice Morgenstern.
The first time I saw Mindy, she had the biggest, darkest,
most beautiful eyes that I had ever seen.
It was pretty, pretty, very amazing to see this little,
little character in a basket that she brought home
to be part of our family.
[Narrator] Mindy was the youngest
of four Morgenstern children,
three of them adopted by Larry and Eunice.
Mindy was very much a tomboy, and as she grew up,
she got so beautiful.
She didn't really realize that she would be looked upon
as somebody that would turn boys' heads.
[Narrator] After high school, Mindy moved
to Valley City, and dove headlong into college life.
She just seemed to enjoy all the friends
that she had there.
Mindy was a very friendly, outgoing, bubbly person.
She just always seemed to be happy.
She had a light in her eyes, and she accepted everyone.
[Narrator] Mindy's future was looking bright,
until the stunning attack that cut her down in her prime.
It was very difficult
to see Mindy's body
in the condition that it was in when we found her.
I wanted to find out who did this,
because she was loved by a lot of people in our community.
[Narrator] Back at the crime scene,
Mindy's two friends tell detectives they weren't
the only ones to see Mindy's body.
[suspenseful music]
When Toni found Mindy at the scene, she screamed,
which alerted a man in a neighboring apartment
to come out to see what was wrong.
He was there when I first entered the apartment complex,
and they showed me where Mindy was located.
He told investigators that he checked for pulse,
using the back of his hand, to not leave any fingerprints
on the victim.
It was a little odd, because people don't describe things
like that, like using the back of their hand
so they don't leave fingerprints, and things like that.
If he was there to help, I couldn't understand
why he'd be worried about something like that.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Police identify the man as Robert Lynds,
and soon notice a telling detail about him.
He had scratches on his hands that would correspond
to someone trying to get your hands off of them
when they were being attacked.
[Narrator] Had Mindy scratched Robert
as she fought for her life?
Robert Lynds having those scratches,
being in the same building,
he certainly needed to be looked at.
[suspenseful music]
A lot of times, a person at the crime scene is the person
that committed the crime,
and any evidence of them is found,
they have an excuse for saying why it was there.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Coming up,
detectives uncover a world of secrets.
It turned out upon checking his background,
that he had a felony record.
[Narrator] And as they zero in on a killer.
I was absolutely certain we had the right guy.
[Narrator] A stunning setback turns the case on its head.
I just thought it's all over with now.
They're gonna let him go.
This case was a shock to everybody.
When we found out who the person was,
it was just, wow.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Police, investigating the murder
of 22-year-old college student Mindy Morgenstern
have just identified their first suspect,
her neighbor, Robert Lynds.
[suspenseful music]
When officers met Robert Lynds,
they noticed some scratches on his hands.
And he also used the back of his hand
to see if she was deceased or not.
His concern was he didn't want to leave any fingerprints
or DNA in the apartment,
because he had nothing to do with the incident.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Suspicions aroused, police bring Robert Lynds
into the station for an interview.
All he knew about her is that she was a pretty girl,
and that she lived in the apartment building.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] When investigators dig into Robert's history,
they find something troubling.
It turned out upon checking his background
that he had a felony record.
Robert Lynds was in the criminal system out in California.
He's street smart, and he knew not to leave
fingerprints at a crime scene.
[Narrator] Detectives ask Robert how he got
the scratches on his hands.
He claimed he worked at a place where they built
steel buildings, and stuff like that,
and he got the bruises on his hands from his job.
[Narrator] Police cut to the chase,
and ask Robert where he was on the day Mindy was murdered.
Robert Lynds told investigators that he had been
at at work that day from seven in the morning,
and he didn't arrive home his apartment until about 5:30.
We talked to his employer.
He did work all day.
He did work with steel,
so it's very easy for him to cut his hands.
So there was really nothing to put him at that apartment
at the time the crime occurred.
[Narrator] Still, police aren't ready
to rule out Robert just yet.
We asked him to provide DNA sample, which she agreed to.
[Narrator] While they await DNA test results,
police canvas Mindy's neighbors.
We were looking for anybody that might have seen
something, heard something, so we can get a better timeline
as far as when this might've happened.
[Narrator] While going door to door,
investigators are pleased to see a familiar face.
As I was collecting statements outside, I saw Moe Gibbs.
He had been living in the apartment building
with his wife, and step-daughter.
Moe works at the Barnes County Jail,
and due to the fact that he was a correctional officer,
I would run into him quite often while he was working,
and I also knew Mo because we played
on the co-ed softball tournament together.
A guy in his position probably would be
an excellent witness if he had seen or heard anything.
Moe Gibbs said that he knew Mindy
as a person that lived in the building.
He had seen her come and go.
[Narrator] The investigator asked Moe if he noticed
anything unusual that afternoon.
Moe had said that he went
with his wife and step-daughter for lunch,
then came back to the apartment at about 12:45,
and started packing and loading boxes,
as he and his wife were going to be moving
out of the apartment.
He mentioned that when he went into the apartment complex,
he could smell a strong, distinct order of a disinfectant.
Other than that,
he claimed that he didn't hear or see anything.
[suspenseful music]
So we were working with a timeline
between the first missed call at 12:47 PM,
and the disinfectant being smelled shortly after 1:00 PM.
So we figured she probably was deceased
prior to one o'clock in the afternoon.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] To rule them out, police collect DNA samples
from Moe and the other building residents.
[suspenseful music]
All the DNA samples taken during our interviews
were sent to the state crime lab.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] In search of new leads,
detectives turn to Mindy's loved ones.
I just didn't think there was anybody
that would wanna do anything like that to her.
[Narrator] Investigators push Mindy's parents
to think hard about anyone
who might've had a problem with her.
Mindy's mother mentioned that Tony had had this boyfriend
that wasn't such a nice person.
His name was James.
I was dating James Robinson at the time,
and he was doing some bad things,
and I was taking the brunt of it,
and Mindy didn't really care for him, because she had known
that there was times that it got pretty scary.
Mindy did bring him up at one time,
something about him being on drugs or something.
Mindy was trying to get Toni to quit seeing James,
and that may give him some reason
to hold a grudge against Mindy.
[suspenseful music]
This James Robinson, it didn't look like he wanted
his girlfriend, Toni, to be friends with Mindy.
She did, you know,
obviously like a friend does, "Get out."
you know, "You need to leave.
He's not a good guy.
This isn't a good relationship."
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] In trying to help her friend,
had Mindy made a deadly enemy?
Seemed like the attack was personal in nature.
[suspenseful music]
It made me think that
maybe this guy had something to do with her death.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Investigators are hunting for the killer
of popular college student, Mindy Morgenstern.
They now suspect James Robinson, who may have held a grudge
against Mindy for trying to turn
his girlfriend Toni against him.
[suspenseful music]
So James was called in to do an interview,
to see what we could glean from him.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Police asked James if he has a criminal record.
James said that he had, in the past,
had trouble with illegal drugs.
He had been charged,
but he was trying to stay out of that lifestyle.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] As James talks,
detectives notice suspicious cuts on his hands.
[Narrator] Police press James on his whereabouts
at the time of the murder.
James told investigators that he went to do community
service from these previous charges.
He then went to a friend's house,
and went back home sometime 5:00 or later.
We checked, and it was verified that he had been
at those locations that day.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Even though James' alibi checks out,
investigators collect a DNA sample
in order to officially rule him out.
[suspenseful music]
As they review evidence from the crime scene,
autopsy results arrive.
The autopsy of Mindy's body indicated that she had died
from asphyxiation, and due to the cuts to her neck.
There was no indication
that Mindy had been sexually assaulted.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Still awaiting results on DNA
collected from Mindy's fingernails, detectives turned
to her coworkers for new leads.
Mindy had been working at a restaurant
in Valley City as a waitstaff.
It was important to interview Mindy's coworkers,
and see if they knew of anyone unusual
in the restaurant that stood out to them.
[suspenseful music]
There was a man that lived in a motor home
across the street from the restaurant.
Mindy told coworkers,
that he made her feel really uneasy,
and he's always in there bothering them.
So hearing that information, we decided to interview him.
Mr. Wolters didn't have any ties to the area,
just kind of odd character.
He really didn't have a good alibi
for when Mindy was murdered.
[Narrator] Just as with previous suspects,
detectives spot a potentially damning clue.
He claimed he never bothered anybody in the restaurant
where Mindy worked, claimed he didn't know who she was.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] But Mindy's coworkers tell a different story.
They all said that he was in there quite often.
Mr. Wolters would have seen her,
coming and going at least.
Would that give him a reason to follow her?
We really didn't know at that point.
Red flags were waving, of course,
but I was real careful not to jump to any conclusions
too early on in the investigation.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Detectives collect Ralph's DNA and let him go,
but they're not ready to clear him just yet.
We keep him on the list.
We're hoping DNA samples, if he was involved,
would eventually tie him into it.
[Narrator] Two days after the murder, the wait
for answers starts to take a toll on Mindy's family.
That was a hard part, not knowing what was going on,
and what happened, and why.
It was like living some place
in another world,
and you just wanted answers.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Three days into the investigation,
detectives catch a break when they find
disturbing voicemails left on Mindy's phone
after she was dead.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Detectives search the number, and discover
that it belongs to a man named Rodney Kuznia.
[suspenseful music]
After Mindy had passed away, he had called,
and left numerous messages on her cell phone.
[Narrator] Investigators rush to find out
who Rodney Kuznia is, and why he called Mindy
after her murder.
[suspenseful music]
Mindy's friends had told us about a previous boyfriend
by the name of Kyle Kuznia.
They had been very serious,
and they had broken up the prior year.
Mindy's phone indicated a lot of calls
between she and Kyle's father, Rodney.
We thought this was really odd,
because why would an ex-boyfriend's father be
so interested in Mindy?
There was some indication from Mindy's friends
that Mindy had told Rodney to quit calling.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] It's been three days
since 22-year-old Mindy Morgenstern was found
brutally murdered in her apartment.
[suspenseful music]
Police have a new suspect, an ex-boyfriend's father,
who left suspicious voicemails for Mindy after her death.
[suspenseful music]
It just was really odd
why Mindy's ex-boyfriend's father
was leaving these messages,
why he was so infatuated with her,
and obviously he had feelings for her.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Eager to learn more about Mindy's communication
with Rodney, detectives start by questioning his son, Kyle.
Kyle was Mindy's ex-boyfriend,
and Mindy, I think, still had feelings for Kyle.
[suspenseful music]
It was found that Kyle had broken off his relationship
with her a year before,
and was planning to get married to someone else,
and had really had
very little contact with Mindy
since that time that they had broken up.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] After verifying that Kyle was working
out of town on the day of the murder,
detectives turn their questions
to his father's relationship with Mindy.
It was actually ruining his relationship with his father,
because Rodney was so involved with Mindy still.
[suspenseful music]
Rod Kuznia had an almost unhealthy amount
of contact with Mindy, and then that continued
even after Kyle and Mindy broke up.
The calls were very frequent, like, multiple times daily,
and it really made us wonder,
did Mindy want him to quit calling her?
[suspenseful music]
Did that make him angry?
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Detectives bring Rodney Kuznia
in for an interview.
He was at least in his 50s, and we weren't sure
what it was that he wanted out of Mindy.
[Narrator] Detectives press Rodney about the messages
he left after hearing of Mindy's death.
It was just really
a strange type of relationship
between a man that was her boyfriend's father and her.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Detectives press Rodney on his whereabouts
at the time of the murder.
Rod Kuznia indicated that he was working on his farm
with his two sons from seven in the morning,
till early in the evening.
We checked and verified that yes,
he had been at work that day.
[Narrator] Detectives collect DNA from Rodney,
but with nothing concrete against him, they must let him go.
We still thought that it was such an odd relationship,
that we've certainly wouldn't close the book
on looking at Rodney any further.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] The pressure to find
Mindy's killer only increases,
as the community becomes gripped by fear.
[suspenseful music]
It was super scary, because you didn't know who it was.
It could have been anybody.
You were scared to go out by yourself.
You were scared to do anything.
It wasn't safe, little Valley City anymore.
[mournful music]
[Narrator] Six days after the murder,
Mindy's funeral draws hundreds of mourners.
We had the funeral at a
high school gym, because
we didn't think that everybody could fit
into the church while there was over
500 people at the funeral, and the police told us
they would have some undercover agents watching,
because they didn't know for sure if this person was,
you know, after her, or after us.
And you get kind of paranoid of anything like that happening
until they finally catch the right person.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] The day after Mindy's funeral,
investigators receive surprising news from the crime lab.
The state crime lab called,
and said that we have a positive match
of the DNA.
The DNA extracted from under the fingernails
of Mindy matched an unsolved brutal sexual assault
in Fargo two years previously.
[suspenseful music]
And when we found out who the person was,
it was just kind of silence.
The news was a shock.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] One week after the murder
of 22-year-old Mindy Morgenstern,
detectives received DNA test results
that turned the case on its head.
The DNA from every one of the suspects,
Kuznia, Wolters, Lynds, and the others all came back
as not a match to the DNA found
under Mindy's fingernails.
I asked, "Who is it?"
They told me it was Moe Gibbs.
When they got the match, it was just, wow.
The DNA match of Moe Gibbs is really unexpected for us.
I knew him personally.
He was a correctional officer,
and it really caught me off guard that somebody
in the law enforcement community would have done
something like this.
[Narrator] When detectives look deep
into Moe's background, they discover a hidden past.
Moe Gibbs was not the man we thought he was.
When we started digging into his background,
we had found out that he'd actually changed his name.
We found out that he was involved in a drive-by shooting,
and he had served five years in prison.
Also, his DNA matched this reported rape in Fargo
from two years previously.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Given Moe's violent criminal past,
detectives come up with a strategy
to lure him into the station.
We had called Moe, and asked him if he would be willing
to come in, just to eliminate him as a suspect.
We were playing on his friendship with law enforcement.
The idea was to get them in, lock him in to a story,
and then immediately give them a polygraph.
Moe Gibbs, who lived in the apartment building
that Mindy lived in, and he said that he had seen
her around, but he really didn't know her at all.
Moe said that he had worked at the jail
the previous night, had gotten home
about seven in the morning, and then he started packing
and loading boxes out of the apartment.
Scratches were observed on Moe's hands,
and Moe stated that he got those scratches
from moving boxes.
The polygraph operator asked him if he'd ever been
in Mindy's room, or in her apartment.
He stated that she was trying to carry
a laundry basket, and some other things
all at the same time, and he assisted her in carrying
that laundry to her apartment.
I'm thinking that he wanted to have an excuse
for having evidence in that apartment.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] With Moe's story in place,
the polygraph can begin.
At the conclusion of the polygraph examination,
the examiner felt that there was
some indication of deception.
At that point, we didn't think
that he was really gonna ever admit to anything,
at least that day.
He was arrested immediately after that interview,
and charged with murder.
[compelling music]
[Narrator] News of Moe's arrest opens a floodgate
of shocking accusations.
A number of female inmates in the jail
where Moe Gibbs worked came forward and said.
'He's been doing sexual stuff to us in the jail
for weeks or months."
[compelling music]
[Narrator] Moe is charged with six felonies
for the sexual assaults,
and one count of first degree murder.
It was a very, very much a shock
when they revealed who was arrested.
I was very surprised, and very shocked,
due to the fact I knew him personally,
but it was a great feeling to get the person
who had done this horrific crime.
We went to trial in Minot, North Dakota, provided evidence
to the jury there about the DNA under her fingernails,
the scratches on his hand.
[compelling music]
[Narrator] Despite the evidence against him,
Moe's lawyers mount a strong defense.
Their argument was the DNA found
in Mindy's fingernails was probably touched DNA
that she got from door knobs
that Moe Gibbs had been touching.
[compelling music]
I went into the jury deliberations believing strongly
that we'd proved our case beyond a reasonable doubt.
[Narrator] On July 12th, 2007, the jury returns
to the courtroom with news that takes everyone by surprise.
The jury deliberated for a fair period of time,
and came back as a hung jury,
and could not reach a decision.
We were so sure
he was gonna go down,
but they just got him off.
You kind of went home and you were thinking,
what are we gonna do now?
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Corrections officer Moe Gibbs has just been
tried for the murder of 22-year-old Mindy Morgenstern,
but when the verdict comes back a hung jury,
Mindy's loved ones are left fearing the worst.
[suspenseful music]
I was very shocked.
I think everybody was.
I don't think I would ever expect that outcome at all.
When we heard it was a hung jury, I just thought
it's all over with now.
They're gonna let him go.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] Was it possible that Moe had not killed
Mindy after all, or was a murderer about to go free?
[suspenseful music]
When a hung jury like that happens,
it's extremely disappointing and hard to understand
for people, because it's just a temporary setback.
I was absolutely certain we had the right guy.
In the Minot trial, the defense,
the one thing they really hung
their hat on was that trying to say it was just touched DNA.
We felt it was obvious that to get DNA
under your fingernails, it wasn't from touching
any kind of doorknob.
So we wanted to totally rule that out,
and we're able to find another expert to help us do that.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] On October 22nd, 2007,
more than a year after Mindy's murder,
Moe Gibbs goes on trial for the second time.
[suspenseful music]
The expert described this as a vigorous assault.
The amount of DNA was not from touching a doorknob
or a laundry basket.
[suspenseful music]
The prosecution lays out further evidence,
carefully building the case against Moe.
[suspenseful music]
Moe Gibb's phone was seized after his arrest,
and there were never times when he went for an hour
or more that he was not texting,
or doing something with his phone.
[suspenseful music]
He got off at seven in the morning from his shift,
and he was continually either emailing or texting people
until he had to go pick up his fiance to go to lunch.
He dropped her back off from 12:30 or 1:00,
and that's when we believe he came back
to the apartment building.
[suspenseful music]
Mindy's last missed call was at 12:47 that day,
and for the next two hours,
Moe Gibbs was doing something else
other than sending texts or sending emails.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] With DNA
and other evidence placing Moe at the scene,
the prosecution lays out their theory of the murder.
[suspenseful music]
I believe that Mindy was carrying clothes
into her apartment, and Moe Gibbs was in the hallway,
and got her in there, and pushed her on the floor,
and attempted to rape her.
[suspenseful music]
I think Mindy fought back,
and things went drastically wrong.
[suspenseful music]
I think what happened was he tried strangling her
with a belt, and it wasn't going as he wanted it to.
She wasn't dying fast enough,
[suspenseful music]
so he got a knife, and he stabbed her,
and then when he got done, he finds a cleaning solution,
dumps it on her body,
and then he gets the heck out of there.
[suspenseful music]
Then he starts back with the texting and emailing,
and went on with his life.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] As Moe's second murder trial concludes,
prosecutors have one final card to play.
[suspenseful music]
There was a cellmate of Moe Gibbs
while he was awaiting trial that had told investigators
that Moe had admitted to killing Mindy.
Gibbs had told them that he'd done it,
and do it again if he had the opportunity.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] As the jury deliberates for a second time,
Mindy's loved ones nervously await the outcome.
And I was wondering what's going on?
I wanted to know things.
I wanted to hear what was coming out of their mouths.
[suspenseful music]
[Narrator] On November 16th, 2007,
after deliberating for over 27 hours,
the jury returns with the verdict.
[suspenseful music]
[Jury Spokesperson] We the jury do find the defendant,
Moe M. Gibbs, guilty of the crime of murder.
[compelling music]
[Narrator] For killing Mindy Morgenstern,
Moe Gibbs is sentenced to life without parole.
[compelling music]
He got a 12-year sentence on the unsolved rape,
and 15 years on the jail sexual assaults that had happened.
It was a relief that they finally caught the person,
that he wasn't gonna be out there to do it
to somebody else again.
The fact that Moe Gibbs is gonna be in prison,
it was finally over with, we could finally go on,
and just try to get through life,
the rest of the time that we had.
Moe got what he deserved.
Because of Mindy's actions, and her strength,
we were able to get the DNA that we needed,
and that DNA helped us solve this case.

[Narrator] Though justice is served,
nothing can dull the pain of Mindy's loss.
Oh, I miss Mindy so much every day.
You never get over it,
but you go on, and you pray for that time
when you can see her again, up there in the heavens.
That's where I know she's at.
[mournful music]
I like to remember her smile.
I have a picture of her on my refrigerator,
and the light just radiates from her face,
and she's so happy,
and that's the way I like to remember her.
