1 00:00:03,568 --> 00:00:05,352 An ambitious, popular young restaurant manager. 2 00:00:05,396 --> 00:00:07,615 She was a tremendous young person 3 00:00:07,659 --> 00:00:10,749 who had unlimited potential. 4 00:00:10,792 --> 00:00:14,187 We always thought she'd just light the world on fire. 5 00:00:14,231 --> 00:00:18,104 Is found beaten, stabbed and suffocated. 6 00:00:18,148 --> 00:00:20,411 The person who did this absolutely wanted 7 00:00:20,454 --> 00:00:22,369 to guarantee that she was dead. 8 00:00:22,413 --> 00:00:24,676 Whoever did it ransacked the safe. 9 00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:28,462 Something that brutal had to be more than just a robbery. 10 00:00:28,506 --> 00:00:30,551 Detectives uncover a history 11 00:00:30,595 --> 00:00:32,205 of workplace conflict. 12 00:00:32,249 --> 00:00:34,164 He didn't like to be told what to do. 13 00:00:34,207 --> 00:00:37,602 He scared me, I was uncomfortable around him. 14 00:00:37,645 --> 00:00:39,821 For me, that was a red flag. 15 00:00:39,865 --> 00:00:41,823 With the community on edge, 16 00:00:41,867 --> 00:00:45,262 another attack leaves them living in fear. 17 00:00:45,305 --> 00:00:46,741 It was such a similar homicide, 18 00:00:46,785 --> 00:00:50,180 a lone female employee and the use of a knife. 19 00:00:50,223 --> 00:00:52,573 You don't know if somebody is lurking out there, 20 00:00:52,617 --> 00:00:55,098 and they're gonna do it again. 21 00:00:55,141 --> 00:00:56,316 And new evidence 22 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,189 confirms disturbing suspicions. 23 00:00:59,232 --> 00:01:02,148 The lab informed me that there was a match. 24 00:01:02,192 --> 00:01:04,759 I just couldn't believe what was happening. 25 00:01:04,803 --> 00:01:06,805 Like, when am I gonna wake up? 26 00:01:06,848 --> 00:01:09,329 Terri's murder wasn't what it appeared to be. 27 00:01:19,252 --> 00:01:20,384 Falls Township, Pennsylvania 28 00:01:20,427 --> 00:01:21,646 is a family friendly 29 00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:23,865 suburb with blue collar roots. 30 00:01:23,909 --> 00:01:25,780 Falls Township is a community 31 00:01:25,824 --> 00:01:27,608 in lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania. 32 00:01:27,652 --> 00:01:32,178 It was built up around the U.S. steel mill in the 1950s. 33 00:01:32,222 --> 00:01:33,571 Steel workers moved out here 34 00:01:33,614 --> 00:01:36,182 from different parts of the country 35 00:01:36,226 --> 00:01:39,229 and it was a nice community. 36 00:01:39,272 --> 00:01:41,579 Although we're a suburb of Philadelphia 37 00:01:41,622 --> 00:01:43,450 and we're right across the river from Trenton, 38 00:01:43,494 --> 00:01:46,584 violent crime is relatively unusual in the Falls. 39 00:01:46,627 --> 00:01:48,803 That all changes one Saturday morning 40 00:01:48,847 --> 00:01:52,242 with a gruesome discovery at a fast food restaurant. 41 00:01:52,285 --> 00:01:55,158 On the morning of February 4th, 1984, 42 00:01:55,201 --> 00:01:57,595 the manager arrived to open the restaurant 43 00:01:57,638 --> 00:01:59,292 and upon entering discovered 44 00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:01,773 that someone was laying outside the kitchen area 45 00:02:01,816 --> 00:02:03,166 and obviously deceased. 46 00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:06,343 The manager recognizes the woman 47 00:02:06,386 --> 00:02:08,475 as the restaurant's night shift manager, 48 00:02:08,519 --> 00:02:11,304 25-year-old Terri Brooks. 49 00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:14,177 He observed Terri Brooks laying on the floor 50 00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:17,267 in a pool of blood with a knife stuck in her neck. 51 00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:20,487 And he phoned the dispatcher and stayed on the phone 52 00:02:20,531 --> 00:02:22,402 until officers got there. 53 00:02:23,882 --> 00:02:25,840 I was told that they had a homicide 54 00:02:25,884 --> 00:02:29,192 at the Roy Rogers restaurant on Route one. 55 00:02:29,235 --> 00:02:32,195 So I was there pretty quickly. 56 00:02:32,238 --> 00:02:34,632 Her body was positioned near the kitchen, 57 00:02:34,675 --> 00:02:37,243 it was a butcher knife sticking out of her neck. 58 00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:41,465 She had black and blue marks and bruises everywhere. 59 00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:43,684 And it looked like hand marks around her neck 60 00:02:43,728 --> 00:02:45,860 like she had been strangled. 61 00:02:45,904 --> 00:02:48,733 It was thought that she was still alive 62 00:02:48,776 --> 00:02:50,865 until the bag was put over her head. 63 00:02:50,909 --> 00:02:54,347 Because of the moisture in it from her breath. 64 00:02:54,391 --> 00:02:57,350 She looked like she had blood under her fingernails 65 00:02:57,394 --> 00:03:00,223 and blood on her hand and that was wrapped 66 00:03:00,266 --> 00:03:02,442 in an evidence bag and secured. 67 00:03:04,009 --> 00:03:06,403 There was a rectangular kitchen prep area, 68 00:03:06,446 --> 00:03:08,535 that's where you can see both her shoes 69 00:03:08,579 --> 00:03:10,320 that were against the wall. 70 00:03:10,363 --> 00:03:12,235 To my mind, 71 00:03:12,278 --> 00:03:14,846 that was probably the first act of violence that took place, 72 00:03:14,889 --> 00:03:18,241 that she was literally pushed right out of her shoes 73 00:03:18,284 --> 00:03:20,286 and that a struggle had taken place right there. 74 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:25,291 Moving around the corner is where the body was found. 75 00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:28,860 It looked like her body had been dragged on the floor 76 00:03:28,903 --> 00:03:30,601 to where she laid. 77 00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:32,559 Terri had her winter coat on 78 00:03:32,603 --> 00:03:34,518 and her bag was also on the floor 79 00:03:34,561 --> 00:03:36,737 like she was getting ready to leave. 80 00:03:36,781 --> 00:03:38,565 Further examination 81 00:03:38,609 --> 00:03:41,568 of the scene reveals evidence of another crime. 82 00:03:41,612 --> 00:03:43,657 In the office, the safe was open. 83 00:03:43,701 --> 00:03:46,921 There was a register drawer on the desk. 84 00:03:46,965 --> 00:03:49,794 The coins were scattered all over the floor. 85 00:03:49,837 --> 00:03:53,928 It just appeared that whoever did it ransacked the safe. 86 00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:55,582 There was money taken. 87 00:03:55,626 --> 00:03:57,932 It had all the earmarks of a robbery homicide. 88 00:03:59,499 --> 00:04:00,935 It was fairly easy for the restaurant 89 00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:02,285 to get a count of what was missing. 90 00:04:02,328 --> 00:04:04,504 And it was around $2,500. 91 00:04:04,548 --> 00:04:06,376 Looking for more clues, 92 00:04:06,419 --> 00:04:09,901 detectives speak to the manager who discovered Terri's body. 93 00:04:09,944 --> 00:04:11,468 When the manager of the restaurant 94 00:04:11,511 --> 00:04:12,904 arrived around 6:00 in the morning, 95 00:04:12,947 --> 00:04:15,602 he found the inner vestibule door locked. 96 00:04:15,646 --> 00:04:18,605 The door to the interior of the building was locked. 97 00:04:18,649 --> 00:04:21,869 But the drive thru window was partially open. 98 00:04:21,913 --> 00:04:23,610 It appeared that the killer had left 99 00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:25,482 through the drive thru window, 100 00:04:25,525 --> 00:04:27,875 because the metal pipe that was laid in the track 101 00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:29,921 as the kind of security measure to lock it up, 102 00:04:29,964 --> 00:04:31,966 had been removed and laid to the side. 103 00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:34,795 But there was no sign of forced entry in the restaurant. 104 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,667 Police believe Terri was killed 105 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:40,714 sometime after midnight when the restaurant had closed. 106 00:04:40,758 --> 00:04:43,935 As detectives continue to process the crime scene, 107 00:04:43,978 --> 00:04:45,458 Terri's family discovers 108 00:04:45,502 --> 00:04:48,069 that she never returned home from work. 109 00:04:48,113 --> 00:04:50,855 The morning of the murder, Scott, the victim's fiancee, 110 00:04:50,898 --> 00:04:53,466 knocks on the door to the Brooks family home. 111 00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:55,990 At the time, Terri lived with her parents. 112 00:04:56,034 --> 00:04:58,384 We hear a banging at the door. 113 00:04:58,428 --> 00:05:00,995 And it was Scott standing there, 114 00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:04,608 and he's like, Terri's car's not in the driveway. 115 00:05:05,957 --> 00:05:07,524 He tells them that he was driving 116 00:05:07,567 --> 00:05:09,613 by their house on his way to work 117 00:05:09,656 --> 00:05:12,442 and that he noticed Terri's car wasn't there. 118 00:05:12,485 --> 00:05:15,053 They then looked in her room and saw that, 119 00:05:15,096 --> 00:05:17,011 in fact, she wasn't home. 120 00:05:17,055 --> 00:05:18,448 And then Scott picked up the phone 121 00:05:18,491 --> 00:05:20,711 and dialed the Roy Rogers. 122 00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:23,496 And he goes, "This is George Brooks, 123 00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:25,368 Terri Brooks's father. 124 00:05:25,411 --> 00:05:28,675 She didn't come home last night, is she okay?" 125 00:05:28,719 --> 00:05:33,550 And they said, no, she's not, she has been murdered. 126 00:05:34,986 --> 00:05:37,641 I was shocked they told him over the phone. 127 00:05:39,033 --> 00:05:42,123 I just couldn't believe what was happening. 128 00:05:42,167 --> 00:05:43,690 When am I gonna wake up, 129 00:05:44,691 --> 00:05:47,694 it's a horrible thing. 130 00:05:49,696 --> 00:05:52,960 I was getting ready to go to work when my phone rang. 131 00:05:53,004 --> 00:05:55,615 I was getting a call from her stepmother to tell me 132 00:05:55,659 --> 00:05:57,617 so that I wouldn't see it on the news 133 00:05:57,661 --> 00:06:00,925 and my heart just sunk. 134 00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:05,495 Terri brooks grew up 135 00:06:05,538 --> 00:06:08,411 in Warminster, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four children. 136 00:06:08,454 --> 00:06:13,024 My mom and dad divorced, Terri was in eighth grade 137 00:06:13,067 --> 00:06:18,072 and she took over the mother role after that happened. 138 00:06:19,857 --> 00:06:22,555 Out of all of us she was probably the most ambitious. 139 00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:25,602 We always thought, Terri would have her own business one day 140 00:06:25,645 --> 00:06:28,169 and just light the world on fire. 141 00:06:30,041 --> 00:06:32,173 Terri took jobs in the restaurant industry, 142 00:06:32,217 --> 00:06:35,176 and earned a reputation as a hard worker. 143 00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:38,571 I worked with Terri at an Italian restaurant. 144 00:06:38,615 --> 00:06:41,618 In the beginning, she was a server, I tended bar. 145 00:06:41,661 --> 00:06:45,099 She became management after working there for a while. 146 00:06:45,143 --> 00:06:48,015 She really, really took pride in her work 147 00:06:48,059 --> 00:06:50,583 and how she dealt with people. 148 00:06:50,627 --> 00:06:52,455 Soon after her promotion, 149 00:06:52,498 --> 00:06:55,458 she began a yearlong romance with her co-worker, 150 00:06:55,501 --> 00:06:56,850 Scott Keefe. 151 00:06:56,894 --> 00:06:58,156 She met Scott at the restaurant. 152 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,550 He was the head chef. 153 00:07:00,593 --> 00:07:02,813 They had a good time together. 154 00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:05,772 Terri just came home one day with a ring on her finger 155 00:07:05,816 --> 00:07:08,122 and we were all like, oh, my God. 156 00:07:10,081 --> 00:07:11,474 While Terri planned her dream wedding 157 00:07:11,517 --> 00:07:12,823 for the upcoming summer, 158 00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:15,695 her career also started to take off. 159 00:07:15,739 --> 00:07:17,175 It was her dream to move forward 160 00:07:17,218 --> 00:07:20,483 to bigger things in the hotel business. 161 00:07:20,526 --> 00:07:22,963 And she had looked into getting a job 162 00:07:23,007 --> 00:07:25,531 with the Marriott Corporation. 163 00:07:25,575 --> 00:07:29,013 The position she accepted with the Marriott was 164 00:07:29,056 --> 00:07:33,234 to be a manager of a Roy Rogers restaurant. 165 00:07:34,975 --> 00:07:36,977 I first met Terri 166 00:07:37,021 --> 00:07:40,546 when I started working at the Roy Rogers, she was my boss. 167 00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:43,070 She was always happy. 168 00:07:43,114 --> 00:07:44,811 She was very excited about her wedding 169 00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:47,510 and she was excited to go dress shopping. 170 00:07:47,553 --> 00:07:49,076 I know she put the down payment 171 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,644 on the honeymoon to Hawaii, 172 00:07:51,688 --> 00:07:55,648 and she was talking about the bridesmaid dresses. 173 00:07:55,692 --> 00:07:58,695 Terri and Scott were apartment hunting. 174 00:07:58,738 --> 00:08:00,087 There was a lot to do. 175 00:08:00,131 --> 00:08:01,698 It was at a time when 176 00:08:01,741 --> 00:08:04,570 all new things were happening in her life. 177 00:08:09,314 --> 00:08:11,142 Now, detectives must determine 178 00:08:11,185 --> 00:08:13,144 who could have killed this ambitious young woman 179 00:08:13,187 --> 00:08:15,233 just a few months before her wedding. 180 00:08:16,756 --> 00:08:18,671 They ask the family about Terri's movements 181 00:08:18,715 --> 00:08:20,978 in the hours leading up to her murder. 182 00:08:21,021 --> 00:08:23,763 Mr. and Mrs. Brooks last saw Terri the day before, 183 00:08:23,807 --> 00:08:27,811 Friday, February 3rd, 1984, when she left for work. 184 00:08:27,854 --> 00:08:30,857 Usually her fiance Scott would make sure 185 00:08:30,901 --> 00:08:33,686 that he went and closed with her every night. 186 00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:36,863 And her father was glad that Scott would go 187 00:08:36,907 --> 00:08:39,562 and close with her and be there to keep her safe. 188 00:08:40,911 --> 00:08:42,739 Scott was worried about Terri's security 189 00:08:42,782 --> 00:08:43,870 at the restaurant. 190 00:08:43,914 --> 00:08:45,306 He would go and sit with her 191 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:48,614 while she finished everything up. 192 00:08:48,658 --> 00:08:50,050 Scott tells police 193 00:08:50,094 --> 00:08:52,575 he wasn't with Terri the night before. 194 00:08:52,618 --> 00:08:55,142 He had stayed home because he was working the early shift 195 00:08:55,186 --> 00:08:57,188 the following morning. 196 00:08:57,231 --> 00:09:00,713 Neither Scott nor Terri's parents are able to provide police 197 00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:02,628 with any leads. 198 00:09:02,672 --> 00:09:05,892 The family was really cooperative with the investigation. 199 00:09:05,936 --> 00:09:09,722 And it was just nothing that they could volunteer or give us 200 00:09:09,766 --> 00:09:14,118 that would indicate that they knew anything about the case. 201 00:09:14,161 --> 00:09:16,120 It was completely out of the blue. 202 00:09:16,163 --> 00:09:17,948 There was no reason for them to feel 203 00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:21,081 that she was in any danger or in any jeopardy. 204 00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:26,130 I couldn't think of anybody who really disliked Terri 205 00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:30,090 and I can't imagine anybody would dislike her that much 206 00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:31,918 to kill her. 207 00:09:31,962 --> 00:09:33,703 Investigators turn their attention 208 00:09:33,746 --> 00:09:35,661 to Terri's coworkers. 209 00:09:35,705 --> 00:09:39,752 It looked like it could possibly be a robbery. 210 00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:42,276 But the deeper we looked into to see 211 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,148 how brutally she was murdered, 212 00:09:44,191 --> 00:09:46,803 it had to be more than just a robbery. 213 00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:49,675 Detectives wanna know 214 00:09:49,719 --> 00:09:52,243 how Terri was thought of by her colleagues. 215 00:09:52,286 --> 00:09:56,334 Terry was a young woman who was very staunch 216 00:09:56,377 --> 00:10:01,295 about the procedures, and she enforced them strictly. 217 00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:03,297 She was a buy the book person. 218 00:10:03,341 --> 00:10:05,299 And as long as you did your work 219 00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:08,651 the way you were supposed to, there were no problems. 220 00:10:08,694 --> 00:10:10,304 When police ask 221 00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:13,090 if Terri's management style made her any enemies, 222 00:10:13,133 --> 00:10:15,658 one name keeps coming up. 223 00:10:15,701 --> 00:10:17,311 Steve Daly was an employee, 224 00:10:17,355 --> 00:10:20,271 that didn't adhere to the procedures. 225 00:10:20,314 --> 00:10:22,186 He was a little hotheaded. 226 00:10:22,229 --> 00:10:24,841 Steve scared me, to be honest. 227 00:10:24,884 --> 00:10:27,844 He was very rough, quick to anger. 228 00:10:27,887 --> 00:10:29,889 I was uncomfortable around him. 229 00:10:29,933 --> 00:10:31,325 Detectives learn 230 00:10:31,369 --> 00:10:33,240 that just weeks before the murder, 231 00:10:33,284 --> 00:10:37,288 the tension between Terri and Steve hit a breaking point. 232 00:10:37,331 --> 00:10:41,901 He ended up getting fired and wasn't too happy about it. 233 00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:47,167 You've got this former employee who had a clear animus 234 00:10:47,211 --> 00:10:50,910 towards the victim and is fired by the victim. 235 00:10:50,954 --> 00:10:53,173 And add to that, here's an employee 236 00:10:53,217 --> 00:10:55,001 who knows how the restaurant operates, 237 00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:57,090 who knows the security procedures. 238 00:10:57,134 --> 00:10:58,352 He's got the kind of knowledge 239 00:10:58,396 --> 00:11:00,877 to be able to commit this crime. 240 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,793 So this is somebody who now rises to the top of the list. 241 00:11:06,796 --> 00:11:10,103 Coming up, police zero in on a suspect. 242 00:11:10,147 --> 00:11:12,845 Fingerprints were found on one of the murder weapons. 243 00:11:12,889 --> 00:11:14,281 At that point, 244 00:11:14,325 --> 00:11:16,762 he admitted he took the money from the office. 245 00:11:16,806 --> 00:11:18,372 But conflicting statements 246 00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:20,200 frustrate detectives. 247 00:11:20,244 --> 00:11:23,377 It was completely a misdirection, a diversion. 248 00:11:23,421 --> 00:11:26,206 How could somebody do this and get away with it? 249 00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:27,947 Until the investigation 250 00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:30,254 takes a jaw-dropping turn. 251 00:11:30,297 --> 00:11:32,212 The polygraph operator said he was lying. 252 00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:34,432 It caught me by surprise. 253 00:11:34,475 --> 00:11:38,001 I remember him all of a sudden blowing up. 254 00:11:38,044 --> 00:11:41,091 It was the turning point in the investigation. 255 00:11:49,447 --> 00:11:51,318 Police investigating the fatal stabbing 256 00:11:51,362 --> 00:11:55,192 of 25-year-old restaurant manager Terri Brooks have learned 257 00:11:55,235 --> 00:11:58,195 that a disgruntled coworker lashed out at Terri 258 00:11:58,238 --> 00:12:00,371 before he was fired. 259 00:12:00,414 --> 00:12:02,808 If you threatened somebody and they end up dead, 260 00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:06,681 you'd have to look at them and look at them seriously. 261 00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:08,683 Steve Daly, was a former Marine 262 00:12:08,727 --> 00:12:10,424 and had a difficult personality. 263 00:12:10,468 --> 00:12:12,383 He didn't like to be told what to do. 264 00:12:12,426 --> 00:12:14,385 Just weeks before the murder, 265 00:12:14,428 --> 00:12:17,257 Terri and Steve had a major blowout. 266 00:12:17,301 --> 00:12:18,911 There was an occasion at work 267 00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:22,654 where Steve Daly was told to make a hamburger for a customer 268 00:12:22,697 --> 00:12:25,613 and he had just closed out that workspace. 269 00:12:25,657 --> 00:12:27,964 So he didn't wanna reopen the workspace. 270 00:12:28,007 --> 00:12:32,882 And I remember him all of a sudden blowing up. 271 00:12:32,925 --> 00:12:35,885 Steve lost his temper, was screaming and yelling. 272 00:12:35,928 --> 00:12:37,669 He became explosive, at one point, 273 00:12:37,712 --> 00:12:39,802 even calling Terri a bitch. 274 00:12:39,845 --> 00:12:43,849 Terri was alarmed by Daly's behavior. 275 00:12:43,893 --> 00:12:48,723 Terri, in a situation like what happened with Steve, 276 00:12:48,767 --> 00:12:50,769 she wouldn't tolerate it. 277 00:12:50,813 --> 00:12:52,423 She didn't waver. 278 00:12:52,466 --> 00:12:54,338 So I think that was the frustrating thing 279 00:12:54,381 --> 00:12:56,035 for Steve is he couldn't break her. 280 00:12:57,645 --> 00:12:59,865 And she was like, you need to go home. 281 00:12:59,909 --> 00:13:01,519 You are done for the night 282 00:13:01,562 --> 00:13:04,435 and you will talk to the boss the next morning. 283 00:13:05,915 --> 00:13:07,525 Daly storms out of the restaurant. 284 00:13:07,568 --> 00:13:09,875 And the next day, Terri talks to her manager, 285 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:11,529 tells him what had happened. 286 00:13:11,572 --> 00:13:14,575 Which, of course, led to Daly being fired. 287 00:13:14,619 --> 00:13:15,925 That did little 288 00:13:15,968 --> 00:13:18,275 to stop Steve's aggressive behavior. 289 00:13:18,318 --> 00:13:19,754 Even after he was fired, 290 00:13:19,798 --> 00:13:21,365 Daly would return to the restaurant 291 00:13:21,408 --> 00:13:24,281 and buy food and have meals there. 292 00:13:24,324 --> 00:13:27,588 He went back just to annoy her, just, here I am. 293 00:13:27,632 --> 00:13:29,460 You can't throw me out now. 294 00:13:29,503 --> 00:13:31,984 It was very upsetting to her. 295 00:13:32,028 --> 00:13:34,421 So given his personality and his conduct, 296 00:13:34,465 --> 00:13:36,641 that certainly seems to provide a motive. 297 00:13:36,684 --> 00:13:39,383 Did Steve Daly's harassment escalate 298 00:13:39,426 --> 00:13:41,646 into a fatal act of revenge? 299 00:13:41,689 --> 00:13:44,040 Police bring him in for an interview. 300 00:13:44,083 --> 00:13:45,955 When we tracked Daly down, 301 00:13:45,998 --> 00:13:47,913 one of the first things he tells us, 302 00:13:47,957 --> 00:13:49,741 that he knew at some point the police would be coming 303 00:13:49,784 --> 00:13:51,308 to talk to him. 304 00:13:51,351 --> 00:13:53,788 Daly said that he didn't get along with Terri 305 00:13:53,832 --> 00:13:55,660 that they clashed often, in fact, 306 00:13:55,703 --> 00:13:58,097 he said that if she'd been a man he would have punched her. 307 00:13:59,664 --> 00:14:01,709 Daly's excuse for why he was going back 308 00:14:01,753 --> 00:14:04,495 to the restaurant was that he was dating somebody 309 00:14:04,538 --> 00:14:06,410 who worked there. 310 00:14:06,453 --> 00:14:08,978 I don't know that I buy that, but that's the reason he gave. 311 00:14:09,021 --> 00:14:10,675 Investigators ask 312 00:14:10,718 --> 00:14:12,764 where Steve was the night of the murder. 313 00:14:12,807 --> 00:14:15,941 He says that he was trying to get into a club, 314 00:14:15,985 --> 00:14:18,726 and that he was not permitted access to the club. 315 00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:21,686 So then he just drove around for several hours. 316 00:14:21,729 --> 00:14:23,079 Investigators go to the club, 317 00:14:23,122 --> 00:14:24,994 they look at the security footage, 318 00:14:25,037 --> 00:14:27,822 they can't find any footage of Daly being denied entry 319 00:14:27,866 --> 00:14:30,521 so this is not a hard alibi that can allow you to say, 320 00:14:30,564 --> 00:14:32,044 okay, this person's eliminated. 321 00:14:32,088 --> 00:14:33,002 Just the opposite. 322 00:14:34,612 --> 00:14:36,527 With no way to prove his whereabouts 323 00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:40,879 when Terri was killed, police ask Steve to take a polygraph. 324 00:14:40,923 --> 00:14:43,534 So a polygraph is a useful investigative tool. 325 00:14:43,577 --> 00:14:45,492 It can help us rule people in or out. 326 00:14:46,885 --> 00:14:48,887 So Daly agrees to take the polygraph, 327 00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:51,063 and without question, he passed. 328 00:14:52,586 --> 00:14:54,066 This guy looks like a good suspect. 329 00:14:54,110 --> 00:14:56,634 So when you have momentum build like that 330 00:14:56,677 --> 00:14:59,593 and then it crashes to a halt, it's hard to swallow. 331 00:14:59,637 --> 00:15:02,466 Police can't verify Steve's alibi, 332 00:15:02,509 --> 00:15:05,730 but with no evidence against him, he's free to go. 333 00:15:05,773 --> 00:15:10,039 Steven Daly was pushed down lower on the list of suspects. 334 00:15:10,082 --> 00:15:12,563 But you never eliminate somebody 335 00:15:12,606 --> 00:15:15,958 until you make sure that they are completely not involved. 336 00:15:17,611 --> 00:15:19,091 Investigators turn their focus 337 00:15:19,135 --> 00:15:21,833 on the Roy Rogers staff who worked with Terri 338 00:15:21,876 --> 00:15:23,095 the night of the murder. 339 00:15:23,139 --> 00:15:24,749 During the investigation, 340 00:15:24,792 --> 00:15:27,012 we knew that we had to interview the employees 341 00:15:27,056 --> 00:15:30,494 to see what the atmosphere was when they left, 342 00:15:30,537 --> 00:15:32,409 if there was any arguments. 343 00:15:32,452 --> 00:15:35,978 Everybody consented to have their fingerprints taken. 344 00:15:37,501 --> 00:15:39,416 The evening that Terri was murdered, 345 00:15:39,459 --> 00:15:42,027 there were four employees that she was working with, 346 00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:45,074 Patricia, Ron, Barb and Dan. 347 00:15:45,117 --> 00:15:47,641 And each of those employees was identified 348 00:15:47,685 --> 00:15:49,078 and interviewed separately. 349 00:15:49,121 --> 00:15:50,949 Patricia tells investigators 350 00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:52,646 that just before closing, 351 00:15:52,690 --> 00:15:54,779 Terri discovered that money had gone missing 352 00:15:54,822 --> 00:15:56,868 from Barb's cash register. 353 00:15:56,911 --> 00:15:59,001 The employees got in an argument 354 00:15:59,044 --> 00:16:03,048 and there was $40 that was supposedly missing. 355 00:16:03,092 --> 00:16:04,876 Terri was gonna get to the bottom of this. 356 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:06,051 It wasn't a minor event. 357 00:16:06,095 --> 00:16:08,010 She took it very seriously. 358 00:16:08,053 --> 00:16:10,621 She began questioning different employees. 359 00:16:10,664 --> 00:16:11,752 Where did it go? 360 00:16:11,796 --> 00:16:13,493 Why is it missing? 361 00:16:13,537 --> 00:16:15,756 Terri played everything by the book. 362 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,758 If there's any money missing 363 00:16:17,802 --> 00:16:19,499 and you are caught being the person 364 00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:21,893 that's been hitting the till. 365 00:16:21,936 --> 00:16:24,591 There's no tolerance for stealing. 366 00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:26,854 Terri cared about her employees 367 00:16:26,898 --> 00:16:28,813 but some people didn't like her 368 00:16:28,856 --> 00:16:32,034 because she could be tough when she needed to be tough. 369 00:16:32,077 --> 00:16:34,688 Patricia, indicated that this wasn't the first time 370 00:16:34,732 --> 00:16:36,473 something like this had happened, 371 00:16:36,516 --> 00:16:38,127 and if you're stealing money from Roy Rogers 372 00:16:38,170 --> 00:16:39,954 and you're an employee there, that's a fireable offense. 373 00:16:39,998 --> 00:16:42,044 So did this provide a motive for murder? 374 00:16:43,828 --> 00:16:46,483 As Terri attempted to unmask the thief, 375 00:16:46,526 --> 00:16:49,138 the employees began to point fingers. 376 00:16:49,181 --> 00:16:52,097 Barb told Terri that she thought Ron did it. 377 00:16:52,141 --> 00:16:54,143 So he's now being confronted with the idea 378 00:16:54,186 --> 00:16:55,840 that he took this money 379 00:16:55,883 --> 00:16:57,494 and he actually turned his pockets inside out 380 00:16:57,537 --> 00:16:59,974 to prove that he didn't have any cash on him. 381 00:17:00,018 --> 00:17:02,499 Could Ron have killed Terri in a rage 382 00:17:02,542 --> 00:17:04,196 after being accused of stealing? 383 00:17:05,850 --> 00:17:07,982 As detectives look closer at Ron, 384 00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:11,247 fingerprint analysis provides crucial new evidence. 385 00:17:11,290 --> 00:17:13,858 The employees who worked that night clean up 386 00:17:13,901 --> 00:17:15,773 before they closed. 387 00:17:15,816 --> 00:17:18,080 Working the later shift you had to clean up everything, 388 00:17:18,123 --> 00:17:20,778 wash all the equipment, sweep and mop the floors, 389 00:17:20,821 --> 00:17:23,520 wipe down all the tables, stuff like that. 390 00:17:23,563 --> 00:17:27,698 So I thought that whoever was in there after closing 391 00:17:27,741 --> 00:17:29,830 could have possibly left fingerprints. 392 00:17:31,310 --> 00:17:33,138 We began matching up fingerprints that they'd lifted 393 00:17:33,182 --> 00:17:36,141 from different surfaces to elimination prints they'd taken 394 00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:38,665 from different employees, and it was discovered 395 00:17:38,709 --> 00:17:41,886 that Ron's fingerprints were found on the drive thru window 396 00:17:41,929 --> 00:17:45,716 and on the trash bag that was wrapped around Terri's face. 397 00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:47,152 Here we go. 398 00:17:47,196 --> 00:17:49,067 This is somebody that we need to look at. 399 00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:59,338 Investigators working 400 00:17:59,382 --> 00:18:01,688 to solve the Terri Brooks homicide have just got a match 401 00:18:01,732 --> 00:18:04,517 for fingerprints left at the crime scene. 402 00:18:04,561 --> 00:18:06,650 The evening that Terri was murdered, 403 00:18:06,693 --> 00:18:09,653 there were four employees that she was working with, 404 00:18:09,696 --> 00:18:12,351 including an employee named Ron, 405 00:18:12,395 --> 00:18:16,225 and Ron's fingerprints were found on the drive thru window 406 00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:19,358 and on the trash bag that was wrapped around Terri's face. 407 00:18:20,838 --> 00:18:22,318 Detectives ask Ron 408 00:18:22,361 --> 00:18:24,058 how his fingerprints ended up 409 00:18:24,102 --> 00:18:26,365 on the bag used to suffocate Terri, 410 00:18:26,409 --> 00:18:28,280 and on the drive thru window, 411 00:18:28,324 --> 00:18:30,369 the killer's likely escape route. 412 00:18:30,413 --> 00:18:32,632 Ron said that one of his responsibilities 413 00:18:32,676 --> 00:18:35,374 at the restaurant was to take care of the trash 414 00:18:35,418 --> 00:18:37,463 so his fingerprints would have been on that bag 415 00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:40,205 because that was part of his job there. 416 00:18:40,249 --> 00:18:43,426 Ron also said that he had covered for some other employees 417 00:18:43,469 --> 00:18:45,210 for their break time at the drive thru. 418 00:18:45,254 --> 00:18:48,082 So that's why his print was there on the window. 419 00:18:48,126 --> 00:18:50,084 Police aren't able to determine 420 00:18:50,128 --> 00:18:52,739 if the window had been properly cleaned at closing, 421 00:18:52,783 --> 00:18:55,394 so Ron's excuse is plausible. 422 00:18:55,438 --> 00:18:58,397 Still, detectives wanna know his whereabouts 423 00:18:58,441 --> 00:19:00,138 after he left work. 424 00:19:00,182 --> 00:19:02,184 Ron said that he left the restaurant shortly 425 00:19:02,227 --> 00:19:04,403 after 1:00 in the morning with coworkers 426 00:19:04,447 --> 00:19:06,362 and that he got home about 1:15 427 00:19:06,405 --> 00:19:09,103 and talked to his mom before he went to bed. 428 00:19:09,147 --> 00:19:10,583 We checked out Ron's alibi, 429 00:19:10,627 --> 00:19:12,803 discovered that he had indeed gotten home 430 00:19:12,846 --> 00:19:14,457 and stayed home all night. 431 00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,763 With Ron all but cleared, 432 00:19:16,807 --> 00:19:20,724 police get new details from another employee about the money 433 00:19:20,767 --> 00:19:23,596 that had gone missing from Barb's cash register. 434 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,383 We learned the $40 that was supposedly missing, 435 00:19:27,426 --> 00:19:29,559 it was found at a later time. 436 00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:32,431 The missing money had mysteriously reappeared 437 00:19:32,475 --> 00:19:34,259 in the drop safe. 438 00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:36,130 I think it's fair to say that Terri might have thought 439 00:19:36,174 --> 00:19:38,437 that it was Barb who had taken this money. 440 00:19:38,481 --> 00:19:41,614 My impression was that Terri was suspicious of Barb. 441 00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:44,313 Police also learn that it was Barb's duty 442 00:19:44,356 --> 00:19:46,358 to close down the drive thru. 443 00:19:46,402 --> 00:19:49,143 Those two things combined, the missing $40 444 00:19:49,187 --> 00:19:51,798 and the fact that it was Barb's responsibility 445 00:19:51,842 --> 00:19:54,236 to lock that drive thru window 446 00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:55,759 and that ultimately it's found unlocked 447 00:19:55,802 --> 00:19:58,283 and it's believed to be where the killer left, 448 00:19:58,327 --> 00:20:00,329 puts her at the top of the suspect list. 449 00:20:00,372 --> 00:20:02,244 According to the work schedule, 450 00:20:02,287 --> 00:20:04,637 Barb and Terri were the last two employees 451 00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:06,291 at the restaurant. 452 00:20:06,335 --> 00:20:08,162 The policy of Roy Rogers for employees 453 00:20:08,206 --> 00:20:09,860 that we're gonna work past the end 454 00:20:09,903 --> 00:20:11,688 of their shift was that they would lock the doors 455 00:20:11,731 --> 00:20:14,430 and that there would be a minimum of two employees there. 456 00:20:14,473 --> 00:20:16,606 Could an argument between Terri and Barb 457 00:20:16,649 --> 00:20:19,478 over the missing money have turned deadly? 458 00:20:19,522 --> 00:20:22,916 Barb said that she was sent home early by Terri. 459 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,398 And she was insistent that she closed the window 460 00:20:26,442 --> 00:20:29,183 and placed the pipe in the track to lock. 461 00:20:29,227 --> 00:20:30,881 And in looking into Barb's whereabouts, 462 00:20:30,924 --> 00:20:33,187 we discovered that she was picked up by her boyfriend, 463 00:20:33,231 --> 00:20:34,276 so she had an alibi. 464 00:20:35,886 --> 00:20:37,888 So it's conceivable that Terri was alone in the restaurant, 465 00:20:37,931 --> 00:20:40,543 working into the early hours of February 4th, 466 00:20:40,586 --> 00:20:41,544 doing inventory. 467 00:20:42,893 --> 00:20:44,721 Police later confirm the alibis 468 00:20:44,764 --> 00:20:47,593 of every employee who worked the night of the murder. 469 00:20:48,681 --> 00:20:50,727 When the autopsy report arrives, 470 00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:53,860 investigators hope it will give them a new lead. 471 00:20:53,904 --> 00:20:58,343 The pathologist found that Terri had been strangled 472 00:20:58,387 --> 00:21:01,564 and the bone in the back of her neck was severed 473 00:21:01,607 --> 00:21:02,782 from the stab wound. 474 00:21:04,349 --> 00:21:06,220 There was serious brain hemorrhage 475 00:21:06,264 --> 00:21:07,613 that was the result of her head being repeatedly banged 476 00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,528 against that hard concrete floor 477 00:21:09,572 --> 00:21:12,270 and looking at that stab wound to her spine 478 00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:15,317 it was likely she was conscious but paralyzed 479 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,884 when the plastic trash bag was wrapped around her head. 480 00:21:17,928 --> 00:21:19,973 The autopsy report lists each 481 00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:23,629 of Terri's severe injuries as potentially fatal, 482 00:21:23,673 --> 00:21:27,503 but indicates asphyxiation as the likely cause of death. 483 00:21:27,546 --> 00:21:28,982 There was no indication 484 00:21:29,026 --> 00:21:30,897 that Terri had been sexually assaulted. 485 00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:33,552 You can't help but look at the way that Terri was killed 486 00:21:33,596 --> 00:21:35,989 and not think that the person who did this 487 00:21:36,033 --> 00:21:38,557 had such a high level of rage 488 00:21:38,601 --> 00:21:41,604 that they absolutely wanted to guarantee that she was dead. 489 00:21:42,866 --> 00:21:45,608 Material was collected from the knife 490 00:21:45,651 --> 00:21:47,479 that was left lodged in Terry's throat, 491 00:21:47,523 --> 00:21:49,394 and under Terri's right ring finger 492 00:21:49,438 --> 00:21:52,702 where the pathologist had identified a defensive wound. 493 00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,834 At the time of this murder in 1984, 494 00:21:54,878 --> 00:21:57,271 there was no DNA technology, 495 00:21:57,315 --> 00:22:00,840 analysis of blood was really relegated to blood typing. 496 00:22:00,884 --> 00:22:03,800 By today's standards, the evidence was limited. 497 00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:06,933 As the investigation continues, 498 00:22:06,977 --> 00:22:09,545 Terri's loved ones struggle to make sense 499 00:22:09,588 --> 00:22:11,416 of her violent death. 500 00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:14,985 The funeral home called the morning of the viewing. 501 00:22:15,028 --> 00:22:18,292 And they said, could somebody come down 502 00:22:18,336 --> 00:22:20,425 and take a look at Terri. 503 00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:23,602 And they had her laid out in the casket, 504 00:22:23,646 --> 00:22:27,563 and she didn't look good. 505 00:22:27,606 --> 00:22:29,782 You could see the cut marks in her neck. 506 00:22:29,826 --> 00:22:33,003 And you could see the bruises on the back of her hand 507 00:22:33,046 --> 00:22:36,659 and they had makeup on her too and you could still see. 508 00:22:38,008 --> 00:22:39,488 It didn't look like Terri. 509 00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:42,795 I said when I got home to my dad, 510 00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:44,797 I think we should keep the casket closed, 511 00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:49,498 we didn't want people to remember her looking like that. 512 00:22:51,369 --> 00:22:52,936 As the Brooks family prepares 513 00:22:52,979 --> 00:22:55,329 to bury their eldest daughter, 514 00:22:55,373 --> 00:22:56,983 Falls Township lives in fear 515 00:22:57,027 --> 00:22:59,725 of a brutal killer still at large. 516 00:22:59,769 --> 00:23:02,641 It was a young person that was killed at her job. 517 00:23:02,685 --> 00:23:05,339 So I think the community as a whole regarded this 518 00:23:05,383 --> 00:23:08,038 as a frightening homicide. 519 00:23:08,081 --> 00:23:11,041 It caused quite a bit of fear due to the fact 520 00:23:11,084 --> 00:23:12,651 that it was so violent. 521 00:23:12,695 --> 00:23:15,001 And most people in this area would think, 522 00:23:15,045 --> 00:23:17,482 this shouldn't happen in our town. 523 00:23:17,526 --> 00:23:19,658 I just really just thought 524 00:23:19,702 --> 00:23:23,009 yeah, it probably was a robbery. 525 00:23:23,053 --> 00:23:24,663 Unfortunately, they killed her 526 00:23:24,707 --> 00:23:26,491 instead of just robbing the place. 527 00:23:26,535 --> 00:23:30,800 But you don't know if somebody is lurking out there, 528 00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:32,889 and they're gonna do it again. 529 00:23:32,932 --> 00:23:35,718 Less than two weeks after Terri's murder, 530 00:23:35,761 --> 00:23:37,850 the town's worst fear appears 531 00:23:37,894 --> 00:23:40,462 to become a horrifying reality. 532 00:23:40,505 --> 00:23:41,767 At another Roy Rogers, 533 00:23:41,811 --> 00:23:43,116 an assistant manager was attacked 534 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,596 coming out of the bathroom. 535 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,424 She was hit in the head. 536 00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:47,860 She fell to the floor 537 00:23:47,904 --> 00:23:51,560 and the actor ran away before she can identify. 538 00:23:51,603 --> 00:23:54,388 The restaurant manager survives. 539 00:23:54,432 --> 00:23:56,913 But just a week later in nearby Scranton, 540 00:23:56,956 --> 00:23:59,089 there's another brutal attack. 541 00:23:59,132 --> 00:24:01,395 A male attacker waited in the parking lot 542 00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:03,136 until there was a lone female employee, 543 00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:05,399 then made entry into the restaurant. 544 00:24:05,443 --> 00:24:07,967 But the money from the restaurant had already been dropped 545 00:24:08,011 --> 00:24:09,534 into the safe. 546 00:24:09,578 --> 00:24:11,710 So he took the female employee's money 547 00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:13,886 and then stabbed her to death. 548 00:24:13,930 --> 00:24:16,628 Detectives fear they have a serial killer 549 00:24:16,672 --> 00:24:18,543 on the loose. 550 00:24:18,587 --> 00:24:20,502 When you take a community that was already stressed, 551 00:24:20,545 --> 00:24:21,764 it made it even worse. 552 00:24:21,807 --> 00:24:24,027 And if you've got an individual 553 00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:25,898 who's going from restaurant to restaurant 554 00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:29,119 and just robbing people and they have no personal connection 555 00:24:29,162 --> 00:24:32,557 to the victim, it's terrifying, it took it up a notch. 556 00:24:39,433 --> 00:24:41,435 Three weeks after the murder of Terri Brooks, 557 00:24:41,479 --> 00:24:44,221 police have learned another restaurant employee 558 00:24:44,264 --> 00:24:47,267 has been stabbed to death in nearby Scranton. 559 00:24:47,311 --> 00:24:49,879 Scranton is just up the turnpike 560 00:24:49,922 --> 00:24:52,229 and it's not really that far from us. 561 00:24:52,272 --> 00:24:57,147 So anything that would indicate a violent armed robbery, 562 00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:59,236 we would have to look into. 563 00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:00,890 It was such a similar homicide, 564 00:25:00,933 --> 00:25:03,414 a lone female employee inside a restaurant, 565 00:25:03,457 --> 00:25:06,417 a male attacker and the use of a knife. 566 00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:08,027 Investigators learn 567 00:25:08,071 --> 00:25:10,421 that a suspect has already been arrested. 568 00:25:10,464 --> 00:25:13,250 Could he also be Terri Brooks' killer? 569 00:25:13,293 --> 00:25:14,904 The person that committed this homicide 570 00:25:14,947 --> 00:25:17,950 in Scranton was a man named Steve Duffy. 571 00:25:17,994 --> 00:25:20,344 We sent investigators to go to Scranton 572 00:25:20,387 --> 00:25:22,433 to attempt to interview Duffy. 573 00:25:22,476 --> 00:25:25,915 And by the time we arrive, he has lawyered up. 574 00:25:25,958 --> 00:25:28,918 But we got a warrant to obtain his fingerprints 575 00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:31,660 and compare them to the fingerprints from the scene. 576 00:25:31,703 --> 00:25:34,924 But in the end, the fingerprint comparison indicated 577 00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:38,536 no connection to the homicide at our Roy Rogers. 578 00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:41,626 Police are also unable to identify a suspect 579 00:25:41,670 --> 00:25:43,280 in the assault of the manager 580 00:25:43,323 --> 00:25:45,978 at the other Roy Rogers location. 581 00:25:46,022 --> 00:25:48,981 You go through this cycle of building momentum 582 00:25:49,025 --> 00:25:50,635 and then you hit a wall. 583 00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:52,245 It's disheartening. 584 00:25:52,289 --> 00:25:53,638 It's been a month 585 00:25:53,682 --> 00:25:55,640 since Terri Brooks was found dead, 586 00:25:55,684 --> 00:25:58,512 and the killer is still at large. 587 00:25:58,556 --> 00:26:01,472 Something that brutal and that terrifying, 588 00:26:01,515 --> 00:26:05,302 you have to try to solve it no matter how long it takes. 589 00:26:05,345 --> 00:26:09,523 But when the leads start running out, you get awful upset. 590 00:26:09,567 --> 00:26:13,092 As weeks turned to months and you identify suspects 591 00:26:13,136 --> 00:26:15,268 and then eliminate them over and over again, 592 00:26:15,312 --> 00:26:16,269 the case went cold. 593 00:26:18,097 --> 00:26:20,230 An investigator by necessity has to move on to other cases. 594 00:26:20,273 --> 00:26:22,667 But for a family that loses a loved one to a homicide, 595 00:26:22,711 --> 00:26:23,625 they don't move on. 596 00:26:25,365 --> 00:26:27,280 When it first happened, 597 00:26:27,324 --> 00:26:30,544 you just assumed that it was gonna be solved. 598 00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:32,503 You think, oh, how could somebody do this 599 00:26:32,546 --> 00:26:34,461 and get away with it? 600 00:26:34,505 --> 00:26:38,117 My dad's hair turned white within a year. 601 00:26:38,161 --> 00:26:39,379 He lost weight. 602 00:26:39,423 --> 00:26:43,296 He just, it just destroyed him. 603 00:26:43,340 --> 00:26:45,690 It was hard for Terri's family having 604 00:26:45,734 --> 00:26:49,651 to process the heartache of losing their daughter 605 00:26:49,694 --> 00:26:52,697 and not having closure over it. 606 00:26:52,741 --> 00:26:55,569 I couldn't imagine not having answers. 607 00:26:57,397 --> 00:26:59,008 There are no significant developments 608 00:26:59,051 --> 00:27:03,142 in the investigation for nearly 14 years. 609 00:27:04,317 --> 00:27:06,406 Then, in 1998, 610 00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:10,193 Falls Township's new police chief orders a fresh look 611 00:27:10,236 --> 00:27:11,716 at the Terri Brooks murder, 612 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,372 and a local prosecutor is assigned to the case. 613 00:27:15,415 --> 00:27:17,766 One of the primary reasons 614 00:27:17,809 --> 00:27:22,553 that the police chief put this renewed focus on this case, 615 00:27:22,596 --> 00:27:24,555 was that there had been developments 616 00:27:24,598 --> 00:27:28,559 in DNA technology during the 1990s 617 00:27:28,602 --> 00:27:31,562 and part of the point of my assignment 618 00:27:31,605 --> 00:27:36,045 to have someone come in with a fresh point of view. 619 00:27:36,088 --> 00:27:40,397 It was just a matter of reviewing all of those reports 620 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,313 and reviewing all the physical evidence. 621 00:27:43,356 --> 00:27:47,665 It caught me by surprise a bit when I opened up the bag 622 00:27:47,709 --> 00:27:49,798 that contained Terri's wallet. 623 00:27:49,841 --> 00:27:54,541 I found that you could still clearly smell Terri's perfume. 624 00:27:54,585 --> 00:27:56,587 And because I wasn't expecting it, 625 00:27:56,630 --> 00:28:00,504 it's one of those things that sort of triggers your emotions 626 00:28:00,547 --> 00:28:04,116 and brings you closer to the victim. 627 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,378 A team is assembled 628 00:28:05,422 --> 00:28:07,424 for the renewed investigation. 629 00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:10,470 Lori said take a look at this homicide. 630 00:28:10,514 --> 00:28:12,342 And she asked me what I thought 631 00:28:12,385 --> 00:28:14,648 and apparently my answers were well enough 632 00:28:14,692 --> 00:28:16,607 to get me assigned to work on it. 633 00:28:16,650 --> 00:28:19,175 At the time that the homicide occurred, 634 00:28:19,218 --> 00:28:21,699 other robberies at fast food restaurants 635 00:28:21,743 --> 00:28:25,094 in the area caused law enforcement 636 00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:27,096 to form the initial theory 637 00:28:27,139 --> 00:28:30,577 that it was likely to have been a robbery. 638 00:28:30,621 --> 00:28:32,449 We had the advantage of knowing 639 00:28:32,492 --> 00:28:33,842 that the robbery homicide track didn't work out. 640 00:28:33,885 --> 00:28:36,845 So, we could start with a different theory. 641 00:28:36,888 --> 00:28:38,760 There were two things that really jumped out, 642 00:28:38,803 --> 00:28:41,458 one, that we could conduct victimology interviews 643 00:28:41,501 --> 00:28:43,242 and talk to some people who weren't interviewed 644 00:28:43,286 --> 00:28:45,114 back at the time. 645 00:28:45,157 --> 00:28:47,899 And two, develop some forensic signature for the killer. 646 00:28:49,771 --> 00:28:51,729 As the lab works to extract the killer's DNA 647 00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:53,600 from crime scene evidence, 648 00:28:53,644 --> 00:28:57,430 investigators learn more about the victim, Terri Brooks. 649 00:28:57,474 --> 00:28:59,476 Victimology essentially means, 650 00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,740 learning everything you possibly can about the victim. 651 00:29:04,524 --> 00:29:08,180 Everybody who we spoke to described Terri Brooks 652 00:29:08,224 --> 00:29:11,575 as intelligent, ambitious, friendly, 653 00:29:11,618 --> 00:29:14,534 well-loved by her family and friends. 654 00:29:16,362 --> 00:29:18,669 Detective Whitney spent a lot of time with the family 655 00:29:18,712 --> 00:29:21,367 to gain their trust and to reassure them 656 00:29:21,411 --> 00:29:24,762 that we were working on the case diligently. 657 00:29:24,806 --> 00:29:28,853 Nelson and Lori did seemed like the power couple. 658 00:29:28,897 --> 00:29:31,160 Both of them are extremely intelligent 659 00:29:31,203 --> 00:29:35,468 and they were driven to get this solved. 660 00:29:35,512 --> 00:29:37,819 Detectives hope new interviews will bring 661 00:29:37,862 --> 00:29:41,561 to light crucial details that could help the case. 662 00:29:41,605 --> 00:29:43,389 You just never know 663 00:29:43,433 --> 00:29:45,261 when you're going to get some new piece of information 664 00:29:45,304 --> 00:29:48,177 that's gonna put us on a track to identify who did this. 665 00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:51,223 Some of the people who we spoke to, 666 00:29:51,267 --> 00:29:54,444 they were quite young when this homicide occurred, 667 00:29:54,487 --> 00:29:57,534 in their late teens or early 20s. 668 00:29:57,577 --> 00:30:01,625 And having more life experience were a bit more open 669 00:30:01,668 --> 00:30:05,934 than they might have felt they could be in the 1980s. 670 00:30:05,977 --> 00:30:07,892 Detectives reach out to people 671 00:30:07,936 --> 00:30:11,461 who weren't interviewed in the 1984 investigation, 672 00:30:11,504 --> 00:30:13,376 including those who worked with Terri 673 00:30:13,419 --> 00:30:16,379 before her employment at Roy Rogers. 674 00:30:16,422 --> 00:30:19,208 I got a call from Falls Township Police. 675 00:30:19,251 --> 00:30:22,298 They wanted to speak to me about the Terri Brooks murder 676 00:30:22,341 --> 00:30:24,387 and they just said to me, 677 00:30:24,430 --> 00:30:26,389 we'd like to hear your thoughts on it. 678 00:30:27,303 --> 00:30:28,739 Cindy knew Terri well. 679 00:30:28,782 --> 00:30:30,610 They worked together. 680 00:30:30,654 --> 00:30:32,917 And Cindy laid out what was going on in the victim's life. 681 00:30:34,701 --> 00:30:35,964 During her interview with investigators, 682 00:30:36,007 --> 00:30:38,575 Cindy drops a bombshell. 683 00:30:38,618 --> 00:30:41,621 What Cindy told us presented a completely different image 684 00:30:41,665 --> 00:30:42,796 of this homicide. 685 00:30:44,624 --> 00:30:46,931 It turned out Terri's murder wasn't what it appeared to be. 686 00:30:46,975 --> 00:30:48,802 And now you couldn't help 687 00:30:48,846 --> 00:30:51,849 but conclude everything is pointing to one person. 688 00:31:00,989 --> 00:31:03,382 14 years after the murder of Terri Brooks, 689 00:31:03,426 --> 00:31:05,950 cold case investigators have just received 690 00:31:05,994 --> 00:31:08,387 shocking new information from a friend 691 00:31:08,431 --> 00:31:10,781 and former coworker of Terri's. 692 00:31:10,824 --> 00:31:12,783 We asked what things did Terri share 693 00:31:12,826 --> 00:31:15,046 with Cindy as a friend? 694 00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:18,484 And I said to them, Terri and her fiance Scott, 695 00:31:18,528 --> 00:31:20,138 their upcoming wedding 696 00:31:21,792 --> 00:31:24,751 at first was exciting for Terri. 697 00:31:24,795 --> 00:31:26,231 But I proceeded to tell them 698 00:31:26,275 --> 00:31:28,277 that the week before Terri had been murdered, 699 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,801 she wanted to call off the wedding. 700 00:31:30,844 --> 00:31:33,021 She just realized that's not what she wanted. 701 00:31:34,892 --> 00:31:37,416 We knew Terri and Scott had just put down a deposit 702 00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:40,767 on their honeymoon and their wedding was upcoming, 703 00:31:40,811 --> 00:31:43,031 and in the initial investigation, 704 00:31:43,074 --> 00:31:44,946 the officers that conducted it came away 705 00:31:44,989 --> 00:31:47,774 with the impression that they were a happy couple. 706 00:31:47,818 --> 00:31:49,385 There hadn't really been anything 707 00:31:49,428 --> 00:31:53,128 in the reports that indicated there were any problems 708 00:31:53,171 --> 00:31:56,870 in Terri Brooks' relationship with Scott Keefe. 709 00:31:56,914 --> 00:32:00,091 But we did learn that Terri confided 710 00:32:00,135 --> 00:32:04,052 to some of her friends that she wasn't entirely sure 711 00:32:04,095 --> 00:32:08,273 she was going to go through with getting married. 712 00:32:08,317 --> 00:32:10,493 Mr. and Mrs. Brooks felt close to Scott. 713 00:32:10,536 --> 00:32:13,496 He was the young man that was going to marry their daughter. 714 00:32:13,539 --> 00:32:17,804 To her parents, Scott was this loving, caring fiancee 715 00:32:17,848 --> 00:32:20,329 who would check on Terri and drive by 716 00:32:20,372 --> 00:32:24,072 to make sure she was safe and give her rides. 717 00:32:24,115 --> 00:32:25,551 Some of Terri's friends 718 00:32:25,595 --> 00:32:28,424 had a very different impression of Scott. 719 00:32:28,467 --> 00:32:32,341 Cindy Bradney told us that there had been some problems 720 00:32:32,384 --> 00:32:33,559 in the relationship. 721 00:32:34,865 --> 00:32:37,302 For me, that was a red flag. 722 00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:40,958 I think through time and her changing jobs, 723 00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:43,526 and the fact that she was moving on and going for her dream 724 00:32:43,569 --> 00:32:48,574 and he was stuck where he was, his jealousy became an issue 725 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,229 and he was very possessive. 726 00:32:51,273 --> 00:32:53,884 Scott would not let Terri stay alone. 727 00:32:55,538 --> 00:32:57,844 She was afraid to tell him she didn't wanna be married. 728 00:32:57,888 --> 00:32:59,324 She was afraid to call it off. 729 00:32:59,368 --> 00:33:01,848 She didn't know what she was going to do, 730 00:33:01,892 --> 00:33:03,894 to the point where she was in tears. 731 00:33:05,243 --> 00:33:07,202 Police get further insight 732 00:33:07,245 --> 00:33:10,074 into Terri and Scott's relationship from Terri's siblings. 733 00:33:10,118 --> 00:33:12,076 When she started dating Scott, 734 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,992 we were all scratching our heads like, 735 00:33:15,036 --> 00:33:17,081 what is she doing with him? 736 00:33:17,125 --> 00:33:20,563 He was just not the kind of guy she always dated. 737 00:33:20,606 --> 00:33:22,173 He wasn't fun loving, 738 00:33:22,217 --> 00:33:24,567 all he wanted to do is sit there and drink, 739 00:33:24,610 --> 00:33:26,612 and that was just unlike her. 740 00:33:26,656 --> 00:33:30,051 It just seemed like he wanted to keep us away 741 00:33:30,094 --> 00:33:32,183 from her and him. 742 00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:34,446 It just makes you think back 743 00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:37,623 like maybe he did have signs 744 00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:40,104 of an abusive person. 745 00:33:40,148 --> 00:33:44,065 But at the time, I just really thought it was a robbery 746 00:33:44,108 --> 00:33:47,459 and she was killed during the robbery. 747 00:33:47,503 --> 00:33:50,549 Detectives have a new perspective on Scott, 748 00:33:50,593 --> 00:33:53,509 and how the supposedly grieving fiancee 749 00:33:53,552 --> 00:33:57,078 might have avoided suspicion at the time of Terri's death. 750 00:33:57,121 --> 00:34:00,081 My dad thought Scott really loved Terri 751 00:34:00,124 --> 00:34:05,086 and he thought if she loved him, I'll love him too. 752 00:34:06,435 --> 00:34:09,002 Mr. Brooks was a very kind man and in fact, 753 00:34:09,046 --> 00:34:10,482 George bought Scott the suit 754 00:34:10,526 --> 00:34:12,180 that he wore to Terri's funeral. 755 00:34:13,572 --> 00:34:15,139 Her father just had such a big heart 756 00:34:15,183 --> 00:34:17,098 that I don't think he believed 757 00:34:17,141 --> 00:34:20,013 that someone that his daughter fell in love with 758 00:34:20,057 --> 00:34:21,537 could harm her. 759 00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:23,626 And I believe Scott played on that. 760 00:34:25,628 --> 00:34:30,546 Scott becomes someone that we think may have done this. 761 00:34:30,589 --> 00:34:32,983 Examining the crime scene through the lens 762 00:34:33,026 --> 00:34:35,420 of what if Scott did this? 763 00:34:35,464 --> 00:34:37,118 Okay, that's how he got in. 764 00:34:37,161 --> 00:34:38,031 She let him in. 765 00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:41,209 We were told that he had a practice 766 00:34:41,252 --> 00:34:43,167 of going to the restaurant and sitting with her 767 00:34:43,211 --> 00:34:45,126 while she worked after hours. 768 00:34:45,169 --> 00:34:48,346 And it's personal, it's rage. 769 00:34:48,390 --> 00:34:52,133 And then the action of placing that bag over her face 770 00:34:52,176 --> 00:34:54,352 to kind of depersonalize her 771 00:34:54,396 --> 00:34:57,486 is a telltale mark of what someone does 772 00:34:57,529 --> 00:35:00,489 when they've killed somebody that they're close to. 773 00:35:00,532 --> 00:35:03,448 Now it becomes a priority for us to see 774 00:35:03,492 --> 00:35:07,017 if the forensic track, if the evidence points that way. 775 00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:10,412 Investigators hope the killer's DNA 776 00:35:10,455 --> 00:35:13,415 can be extracted from the crime scene evidence collected 777 00:35:13,458 --> 00:35:15,330 back in 1984. 778 00:35:15,373 --> 00:35:17,245 It was a potential concern 779 00:35:17,288 --> 00:35:22,032 that they might not be able to find any usable DNA due 780 00:35:22,075 --> 00:35:24,687 to the amount of time that had gone by. 781 00:35:26,558 --> 00:35:29,344 Luckily, the knife that was left lodged in Terry's throat, 782 00:35:29,387 --> 00:35:31,389 and the material collected 783 00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:33,304 from under Terri's right ring finger 784 00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,524 where the pathologist had identified a defensive wound 785 00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:39,180 to that area yielded an unknown male DNA profile. 786 00:35:41,051 --> 00:35:44,185 It was highly unlikely under the circumstances that 787 00:35:44,228 --> 00:35:46,491 that DNA material would have come 788 00:35:46,535 --> 00:35:49,364 from anyone other than the perpetrator. 789 00:35:51,235 --> 00:35:54,195 The next thing we had to do was obtain a DNA sample 790 00:35:54,238 --> 00:35:56,109 from our suspect. 791 00:35:56,153 --> 00:35:59,374 Scott Keefe did not have a criminal record at that time. 792 00:35:59,417 --> 00:36:02,464 He didn't have any DNA samples on file 793 00:36:02,507 --> 00:36:06,250 with an agency such as the FBI. 794 00:36:06,294 --> 00:36:10,559 One of the things that we learned from the laboratory expert 795 00:36:10,602 --> 00:36:15,259 was that cigarette butts are an excellent, potential source 796 00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:19,524 of DNA because they have saliva on them. 797 00:36:19,568 --> 00:36:22,223 And at that point, we actually knew 798 00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:25,356 what kind of cigarettes Keefe smoked 799 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,402 and we knew where he lived. 800 00:36:27,445 --> 00:36:30,579 Police hatch a plan to secretly obtain a sample 801 00:36:30,622 --> 00:36:32,711 of Scott Keefe's DNA. 802 00:36:32,755 --> 00:36:37,542 We didn't at that point want to obtain a subpoena 803 00:36:37,586 --> 00:36:41,111 to obtain DNA from him directly 804 00:36:41,154 --> 00:36:44,245 because we wanted to interview him first. 805 00:36:44,288 --> 00:36:46,247 We wanted to set that up 806 00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:48,814 in the most advantageous possible way. 807 00:36:48,858 --> 00:36:51,730 And we were concerned that he was a flight risk. 808 00:36:53,341 --> 00:36:55,343 It was very important to us to be very careful 809 00:36:55,386 --> 00:36:57,606 about who knew he was a suspect 810 00:36:57,649 --> 00:36:59,738 and who we shared that information with. 811 00:36:59,782 --> 00:37:01,349 And it was also very important to us 812 00:37:01,392 --> 00:37:03,873 to not be caught doing surveillance. 813 00:37:05,701 --> 00:37:08,399 In 1998, Scott's life had kind of come full circle 814 00:37:08,443 --> 00:37:10,314 from where it was in 1984. 815 00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:12,708 In 1984, he was living at home with his parents. 816 00:37:12,751 --> 00:37:16,189 He had gone on to live with a girlfriend and then marry. 817 00:37:16,233 --> 00:37:17,669 They'd had a child together, 818 00:37:17,713 --> 00:37:19,584 but then they split up and got divorced. 819 00:37:19,628 --> 00:37:22,326 And in 1998, he was back home living with his mom. 820 00:37:23,414 --> 00:37:24,807 Under Pennsylvania law, 821 00:37:24,850 --> 00:37:28,637 trash was considered to be abandoned property 822 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,641 once it was put out in front of the house for collection. 823 00:37:34,338 --> 00:37:37,863 So Detective Whitney immediately took custody of it, 824 00:37:37,907 --> 00:37:40,605 took it directly to the laboratory 825 00:37:40,649 --> 00:37:43,739 that was doing the DNA analysis. 826 00:37:43,782 --> 00:37:46,132 I knew I was gonna get a definitive answer one way 827 00:37:46,176 --> 00:37:47,482 or the other. 828 00:37:47,525 --> 00:37:48,874 It could be him, could be somebody else. 829 00:37:48,918 --> 00:37:51,137 It was that anticipation 830 00:37:51,181 --> 00:37:53,270 of I'm going to get a final result here 831 00:37:53,314 --> 00:37:56,229 that's going to matter a great deal in this investigation. 832 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:06,239 Police investigating the 1984 murder 833 00:38:06,283 --> 00:38:10,069 of Terri Brooks have secretly collected a DNA sample 834 00:38:10,113 --> 00:38:13,072 from her fiancee, Scott Keefe. 835 00:38:13,116 --> 00:38:17,250 We had to obtain a DNA sample from our suspect. 836 00:38:17,294 --> 00:38:21,951 So we collected cigarette butts that were in the trash. 837 00:38:21,994 --> 00:38:23,344 The sample is compared 838 00:38:23,387 --> 00:38:26,172 to DNA found on Terri's body. 839 00:38:26,216 --> 00:38:27,826 I'll never forget the phone call I got 840 00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:30,699 where the doctor at the lab informed me 841 00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:33,658 that there was a match from Scott's cigarettes 842 00:38:33,702 --> 00:38:35,007 to the crime scene evidence. 843 00:38:36,835 --> 00:38:39,360 It was the turning point in the investigation. 844 00:38:39,403 --> 00:38:43,233 That was the point at which we knew we would be able 845 00:38:43,276 --> 00:38:47,368 to prove that Scott Keefe was the killer. 846 00:38:49,152 --> 00:38:53,374 Although, we had very solid physical evidence against Keefe. 847 00:38:53,417 --> 00:38:58,379 It's always better if you have an incriminating statement 848 00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:01,164 from the defendant. 849 00:39:01,207 --> 00:39:03,732 We asked Mr. Keefe to come to the police station 850 00:39:03,775 --> 00:39:07,126 as one of the friends and family members 851 00:39:07,170 --> 00:39:11,653 that we were interviewing as part of our investigation. 852 00:39:11,696 --> 00:39:14,046 We believed that he would cooperate with us. 853 00:39:14,090 --> 00:39:17,180 We believed that he would come across as wanting to help, 854 00:39:17,223 --> 00:39:18,790 that he would try to sell us the same story, 855 00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:20,357 that he was the grieving fiancee, 856 00:39:20,401 --> 00:39:22,838 that he'd been telling people for 15 years. 857 00:39:22,881 --> 00:39:24,187 As predicted, 858 00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:27,320 Scott agrees to cooperate with police. 859 00:39:27,364 --> 00:39:30,019 We had a strategy to conduct that interview 860 00:39:30,062 --> 00:39:32,674 on the anniversary date of the murder. 861 00:39:32,717 --> 00:39:35,024 People pay attention to dates. 862 00:39:35,067 --> 00:39:37,330 It could raise a person's anxiety level 863 00:39:37,374 --> 00:39:40,682 and make them more apt to make mistakes. 864 00:39:40,725 --> 00:39:42,118 The interview begins 865 00:39:42,161 --> 00:39:44,990 and Scott tells a familiar tale. 866 00:39:45,034 --> 00:39:47,863 He told us the same story that he had told others 867 00:39:47,906 --> 00:39:50,039 over the years that they were happy, 868 00:39:50,082 --> 00:39:51,954 this was the love of his life 869 00:39:51,997 --> 00:39:54,304 and that somebody else had taken her away from him. 870 00:39:54,347 --> 00:39:56,393 If we came on too hard, 871 00:39:56,437 --> 00:39:59,265 if we were too aggressive in our questioning, 872 00:39:59,309 --> 00:40:01,442 we felt he would lawyer up and stop the interview. 873 00:40:01,485 --> 00:40:05,054 So slowly we built towards the question 874 00:40:05,097 --> 00:40:06,882 of whether Scott had anything to do with this 875 00:40:06,925 --> 00:40:08,231 or any knowledge of it. 876 00:40:08,274 --> 00:40:10,320 And once we got to that point, 877 00:40:10,363 --> 00:40:13,062 we asked Scott if he would take a polygraph. 878 00:40:13,105 --> 00:40:15,847 You can never force anyone 879 00:40:15,891 --> 00:40:20,112 to undergo a polygraph examination, but he agreed to that. 880 00:40:20,156 --> 00:40:22,114 The polygraph operator said he was lying. 881 00:40:22,158 --> 00:40:25,161 So now Scott started to say things like, 882 00:40:26,554 --> 00:40:28,730 I didn't mean for this to happen, 883 00:40:28,773 --> 00:40:31,036 and then he caught himself and said, but I didn't do it. 884 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,996 But over time, that culminated at one point in him saying, 885 00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,955 she came at me first and that was the first time 886 00:40:36,999 --> 00:40:38,348 he put himself at the scene. 887 00:40:40,132 --> 00:40:42,004 Investigators keep the pressure on, 888 00:40:42,047 --> 00:40:45,007 and finally Scott breaks. 889 00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:49,751 He admitted that she essentially told him 890 00:40:49,794 --> 00:40:51,970 that she wanted to break up with him. 891 00:40:52,014 --> 00:40:54,495 And he was enraged because of that. 892 00:40:55,974 --> 00:40:57,933 At one point he punched her in the face. 893 00:40:57,976 --> 00:41:01,414 They struggled for a while in that kitchen prep area. 894 00:41:01,458 --> 00:41:03,895 A knife had fallen onto the floor 895 00:41:05,201 --> 00:41:07,464 and he knocked her down and straddled her, 896 00:41:07,508 --> 00:41:09,814 choking her and banging her head repeatedly 897 00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:11,468 against the floor. 898 00:41:11,512 --> 00:41:14,427 But then he grabbed the knife and stabbed her with it 899 00:41:14,471 --> 00:41:16,473 and it stuck in her throat. 900 00:41:16,517 --> 00:41:20,042 Then, in his words, he bent over to make sure she was dead. 901 00:41:20,085 --> 00:41:22,305 He saw that she was still breathing. 902 00:41:22,348 --> 00:41:26,788 So he grabbed the trash can liner to wrap around her face, 903 00:41:26,831 --> 00:41:29,007 to make sure that she would, in fact, die. 904 00:41:29,051 --> 00:41:30,835 And he said he didn't wanna look at her face. 905 00:41:31,967 --> 00:41:33,359 At that point, 906 00:41:33,403 --> 00:41:36,145 he admitted he took the money from the office. 907 00:41:36,188 --> 00:41:38,321 He said he exited through the drive thru window 908 00:41:38,364 --> 00:41:40,497 to make it look like a robbery. 909 00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:43,979 Scott told us that the reason he went 910 00:41:44,022 --> 00:41:47,460 to the Brooks family home the morning of the murder was 911 00:41:47,504 --> 00:41:49,506 to make him look innocent. 912 00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:52,291 So he's surrounded by her family 913 00:41:52,335 --> 00:41:55,468 when the crime is supposedly discovered. 914 00:41:57,035 --> 00:41:58,559 It was completely a misdirection, 915 00:41:58,602 --> 00:42:01,213 a diversion that worked for 15 years for him. 916 00:42:02,998 --> 00:42:05,435 Scott is charged with first-degree murder. 917 00:42:06,392 --> 00:42:08,177 I was elated. 918 00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:11,354 I was like, thank God, they finally nailed him. 919 00:42:11,397 --> 00:42:14,836 We waited a long time getting the answers 920 00:42:14,879 --> 00:42:17,229 of who killed my sister 921 00:42:17,273 --> 00:42:21,016 really gave my dad some comfort. 922 00:42:21,059 --> 00:42:24,280 But I think he was still in disbelief that Scott did it. 923 00:42:25,890 --> 00:42:28,501 We were just so happy we could tell her family 924 00:42:28,545 --> 00:42:31,940 that the person who had killed their daughter was in prison 925 00:42:31,983 --> 00:42:35,552 and we were confident he was going to be convicted. 926 00:42:35,596 --> 00:42:39,164 At trial, Scott Keefe is found guilty 927 00:42:39,208 --> 00:42:42,124 and sentenced to life in prison. 928 00:42:42,167 --> 00:42:44,561 Terri was a tremendous young person 929 00:42:44,605 --> 00:42:47,346 who had unlimited potential. 930 00:42:47,390 --> 00:42:49,958 She had good relationships with her family. 931 00:42:50,001 --> 00:42:54,049 It's really a terrible tragedy that her life ended this way. 932 00:42:57,095 --> 00:43:00,229 It's just so sad that somebody so young 933 00:43:00,272 --> 00:43:03,014 because of standing up for themselves 934 00:43:03,058 --> 00:43:04,973 and wanting to move forward in their lives 935 00:43:05,016 --> 00:43:06,365 gets their life cut short. 936 00:43:07,932 --> 00:43:10,195 Terri would have had a very bright future, 937 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,415 and I'm sure she would have had a ton of kids 938 00:43:12,458 --> 00:43:14,983 and we'd be hanging out right now. 939 00:43:16,593 --> 00:43:18,551 Terri would love to be remembered with those big eyes 940 00:43:18,595 --> 00:43:21,598 that smile, her kindness in her heart. 941 00:43:21,642 --> 00:43:23,556 And a person with a goal. 942 00:43:25,036 --> 00:43:27,952 She was truly a lovely, lovely person.
