[squawking]
2
00:00:12,856 --> 00:00:14,890
[Joseph] We are
at the base of Mount Rainie
3
00:00:14,991 --> 00:00:16,958
in the state of Washington.
4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,795
One of the most beautiful
places in this country.
5
00:00:19,863 --> 00:00:21,630
One that you would
never believe
6
00:00:21,632 --> 00:00:22,764
could encounter violence.
7
00:00:22,866 --> 00:00:23,832
[sirens blaring]
8
00:00:33,077 --> 00:00:34,543
[Joseph] We have
a 20-year-old kid
9
00:00:34,545 --> 00:00:36,545
who's being interviewed
and interrogated
10
00:00:37,448 --> 00:00:38,980
about a very dangerous killer.
11
00:00:46,457 --> 00:00:48,890
[Joseph] Villains are capabl
of terrible things.
12
00:00:48,992 --> 00:00:50,592
And they're capable of that
13
00:00:50,627 --> 00:00:52,094
with little or no motivation.
14
00:00:55,365 --> 00:00:57,532
[Joseph] He has decided
he hates him.
15
00:00:57,534 --> 00:00:59,768
Then he's decided
he's gonna kill him.
16
00:01:05,142 --> 00:01:07,742
You have a person
who acts out of instinct.
17
00:01:07,744 --> 00:01:09,344
His instinct is to kill.
18
00:01:11,548 --> 00:01:13,315
How dangerous is that?
19
00:01:13,317 --> 00:01:15,250
About as dangerous
as you can get.
20
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:21,156
I spent my career
closing murder cases.
21
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:24,092
But I'm not the only one
22
00:01:24,728 --> 00:01:25,961
who answered the call.
23
00:01:28,098 --> 00:01:29,831
It takes a rare breed
24
00:01:29,833 --> 00:01:31,299
to solve the unsolvable.
25
00:01:32,536 --> 00:01:34,269
To catch a ruthless killer.
26
00:01:35,038 --> 00:01:37,539
To find justice
for the dead.
27
00:01:39,042 --> 00:01:40,342
That's what it takes
28
00:01:41,178 --> 00:01:43,979
to be an American Detectiv.
29
00:01:53,991 --> 00:01:55,190
I'm Ben Elkins.
30
00:01:55,259 --> 00:01:57,325
I was a major crimes detective
31
00:01:57,327 --> 00:01:59,494
for Thurston County
Sheriff's Office
32
00:01:59,563 --> 00:02:01,830
located in Olympia,
Washington.
33
00:02:01,832 --> 00:02:05,233
I had a law enforcement care
for over 28 years.
34
00:02:05,235 --> 00:02:07,335
I always like
being challenged.
35
00:02:07,337 --> 00:02:09,037
Most people don't have
that opportunity
36
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,473
to see the real evil
in society.
37
00:02:11,542 --> 00:02:13,441
But as law
enforcement officer,
38
00:02:13,443 --> 00:02:15,844
you had the challenge
to figure out who did it
39
00:02:15,846 --> 00:02:17,078
and hold them accountable.
40
00:02:18,081 --> 00:02:20,081
[cows mooing]
41
00:02:24,354 --> 00:02:26,354
[Joseph] A woman
who lives on a ranch,
42
00:02:26,356 --> 00:02:29,157
calls the Thurston County
Sheriff's Department
43
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:30,625
to report that her boyfriend
44
00:02:30,627 --> 00:02:32,561
has been missing
for three days.
45
00:02:35,265 --> 00:02:37,933
Detective Elkins
responds to the call.
46
00:02:40,337 --> 00:02:41,736
[radio chatter]
47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,240
This woman is Tina Inman.
48
00:02:45,242 --> 00:02:48,143
Her boyfriend
is Clark Calquhoun.
49
00:02:48,145 --> 00:02:49,644
He's 53 years old
50
00:02:49,646 --> 00:02:52,714
and he's employed
as a handyman on this ranch
51
00:02:52,716 --> 00:02:53,949
Hi.
52
00:02:53,951 --> 00:02:55,450
[Ben] Following
up on your missing person's
report.
53
00:02:58,088 --> 00:02:59,955
[Michael] My dad
came to work on this ranch.
54
00:02:59,957 --> 00:03:02,090
Had had some hard times
in life.
55
00:03:02,092 --> 00:03:04,292
The owners of the ranch
were friends.
56
00:03:04,361 --> 00:03:05,961
And so, they saw
an opportunity
57
00:03:05,963 --> 00:03:08,296
to help him
get back on his feet.
58
00:03:08,365 --> 00:03:11,399
[Katrina Miller] My dad
was no stranger
to the farm life
59
00:03:11,435 --> 00:03:12,867
and to taking care
of the animals
60
00:03:12,936 --> 00:03:14,736
and repairing things
that needed to be repaired.
61
00:03:14,738 --> 00:03:18,139
He was somebody
who could fix
pretty much anything.
62
00:03:18,141 --> 00:03:20,342
[Joseph] As a perk
of his employment,
63
00:03:20,344 --> 00:03:22,944
he's given a space
to park his trailer.
64
00:03:22,946 --> 00:03:25,247
So, he has a trailer
he lives in and is kept ther
65
00:03:25,249 --> 00:03:28,049
on the property
at no charge
to Mr. Calquhoun.
66
00:03:33,657 --> 00:03:34,956
[Ben] The ownership
of the property
67
00:03:34,958 --> 00:03:37,892
was a brotherly partnership
68
00:03:37,994 --> 00:03:40,095
But the one brother
that lived on it,
69
00:03:40,097 --> 00:03:41,796
owned most of the property.
70
00:03:41,865 --> 00:03:43,431
And then the other
brother, Joel,
71
00:03:43,433 --> 00:03:46,301
he owned a smaller
portion of it.
72
00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:47,736
It was a very large
piece of property.
73
00:03:47,738 --> 00:03:50,438
It was pushing 200 acres
between the two of them.
74
00:03:54,044 --> 00:03:55,777
When's the last time
you saw Clark?
75
00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:57,245
Oh, three days ago.
76
00:03:58,282 --> 00:03:59,748
[Joseph] Ms. Inman explains
77
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:01,449
that on the 28th of December,
78
00:04:02,352 --> 00:04:04,552
she, Mr. Calquhoun
79
00:04:04,554 --> 00:04:06,855
and another friend, Randy,
80
00:04:06,857 --> 00:04:09,391
were intending to go shopping
in the evening.
81
00:04:13,730 --> 00:04:15,397
They were about to leave,
82
00:04:15,465 --> 00:04:16,998
when Jeremy Leininger,
83
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:18,333
son of one of the two brothers
84
00:04:18,335 --> 00:04:19,534
that owns the place,
85
00:04:19,536 --> 00:04:22,103
came up on a tractor
and stopped them.
86
00:04:22,873 --> 00:04:24,039
Hey, Clark.
87
00:04:24,041 --> 00:04:25,140
Yeah.
88
00:04:25,142 --> 00:04:27,342
[Ben] He asked Clark
to stay behind
89
00:04:27,344 --> 00:04:29,244
and help build
some fences.
90
00:04:33,150 --> 00:04:35,150
So, Clark goes with Jeremy,
91
00:04:35,152 --> 00:04:36,384
off to do this work.
92
00:04:36,453 --> 00:04:38,987
And Ms. Inman
and her friend, Randy,
93
00:04:38,989 --> 00:04:40,755
continue on with their
shopping.
94
00:04:48,999 --> 00:04:51,099
Clark, I'm home.
95
00:04:54,237 --> 00:04:55,870
Ms. Inman returns quite late
96
00:04:55,939 --> 00:04:57,105
from her shopping trip.
97
00:04:58,075 --> 00:04:59,341
[Tina] Clark?
98
00:04:59,343 --> 00:05:00,642
[Joseph] But Clark
isn't there.
99
00:05:03,747 --> 00:05:05,980
So, the next morning,
when she wakes up,
100
00:05:05,982 --> 00:05:07,749
Clark still isn't there.
101
00:05:13,857 --> 00:05:15,690
And by the morning
of the third day,
102
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,059
she decides to report this
to the police.
103
00:05:18,061 --> 00:05:19,627
Does Clark carry a cell phone?
104
00:05:19,629 --> 00:05:21,830
No, he uses mine.
105
00:05:21,832 --> 00:05:23,298
He just wouldn't
do something like this.
106
00:05:23,366 --> 00:05:25,533
I mean, he even
left his wallet there.
107
00:05:25,535 --> 00:05:28,136
[Joseph] She says, "The onl
thing that isn't here,
108
00:05:28,138 --> 00:05:30,071
is a turquoise
and silver ring
109
00:05:30,073 --> 00:05:31,539
that he often wears."
110
00:05:35,645 --> 00:05:37,045
So Elkins thinks,
111
00:05:37,047 --> 00:05:39,114
"Maybe this isn't
somebody missing."
112
00:05:39,116 --> 00:05:41,750
Maybe it's somebody
who's been done away with.
113
00:05:43,153 --> 00:05:45,153
[Tina] I just know
something bad
has happened to him.
114
00:05:45,756 --> 00:05:47,522
[Ben] As a investigator,
115
00:05:47,524 --> 00:05:49,424
there's always these things
called indicators.
116
00:05:49,426 --> 00:05:51,526
And when I interviewed Tina,
117
00:05:51,528 --> 00:05:53,428
I didn't pick up on any
indicators
118
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:55,663
that she was involved
in any foul play.
119
00:05:56,733 --> 00:05:58,867
Did Clark have any enemies?
120
00:05:59,536 --> 00:06:00,835
Is anybody out to get him?
121
00:06:01,838 --> 00:06:03,438
Not really.
122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,341
Inman says, "No. Everybody
loves Clark."
123
00:06:06,343 --> 00:06:08,343
But there was something
a few days ago
124
00:06:08,345 --> 00:06:10,145
that struck her
as very odd.
125
00:06:12,115 --> 00:06:14,349
She says one of the owners
126
00:06:14,351 --> 00:06:17,485
mentioned to her that Jeremy,
127
00:06:17,587 --> 00:06:19,454
the son of the owners,
128
00:06:19,456 --> 00:06:22,991
had complained to her
that he was missing $150
129
00:06:22,993 --> 00:06:25,427
and he believed that Clark
130
00:06:25,429 --> 00:06:27,929
had taken his money
from his truck.
131
00:06:27,931 --> 00:06:30,298
[Ben] Tina never indicated
that Clark
132
00:06:30,366 --> 00:06:32,300
all of a sudden,
had extra money.
133
00:06:32,368 --> 00:06:33,668
'Cause he would have
shared that with her.
134
00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:36,171
They would've used it
for groceries or whatever.
135
00:06:36,773 --> 00:06:37,839
Okay, Tina.
136
00:06:38,742 --> 00:06:40,675
Here's my card. If you
think of anything else...
137
00:06:41,845 --> 00:06:44,179
[Joseph] Elkins, of course,
wants to have confirmation
138
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,047
of what Inman has to say.
139
00:06:47,184 --> 00:06:49,984
You cannot rely
on a single source.
140
00:06:50,053 --> 00:06:52,287
So, Elkins runs down Randy,
141
00:06:52,355 --> 00:06:54,489
the friend who was
in the car
142
00:06:54,591 --> 00:06:57,358
when Clark and Inman
were gonna go shopping.
143
00:06:59,729 --> 00:07:00,662
[moos]
144
00:07:04,734 --> 00:07:06,668
-[Ben]
Excuse me, Randy.
-Yeah.
145
00:07:07,437 --> 00:07:08,336
[Ben] Detective Elkins.
146
00:07:08,338 --> 00:07:09,637
You got a minute
to speak with me?
147
00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:11,840
[Joseph] He explains to Rand
148
00:07:11,842 --> 00:07:15,043
that Clark has been missing
now for three days.
149
00:07:15,045 --> 00:07:17,345
And he wants to know
what he recalls
150
00:07:17,347 --> 00:07:20,148
about the night
he went missing.
151
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:21,716
[Randy] Three of us
were getting ready
to go in town.
152
00:07:21,718 --> 00:07:23,184
Jeremy came and grabbed Clark.
153
00:07:23,286 --> 00:07:24,719
Needed help doing something.
154
00:07:24,721 --> 00:07:26,855
[Ben] Both their statements
were very consistent
155
00:07:26,857 --> 00:07:29,390
on the last time
that they had both seen him
156
00:07:29,459 --> 00:07:30,725
and what transpired.
157
00:07:30,727 --> 00:07:32,594
Elkins then asked Randy,
158
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:35,330
"Has there been any
confrontations with anyone
159
00:07:35,332 --> 00:07:36,731
that you're aware of?"
160
00:07:36,733 --> 00:07:38,933
No. Everybody's getting along
just fine here.
161
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:41,536
I understand that Jeremy
162
00:07:41,538 --> 00:07:44,172
thought Clark stole
some money from him.
163
00:07:44,241 --> 00:07:47,041
[scoffs] Uh, that's news
to me.
164
00:07:47,043 --> 00:07:49,544
[Joseph] Randy said,
"They have no issues
between them."
165
00:07:49,546 --> 00:07:51,346
So, there's still
this lingering question
166
00:07:51,348 --> 00:07:53,681
of where did this accusation
come from?
167
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:54,749
If you could
think of anything,
168
00:07:55,352 --> 00:07:56,651
give us a call.
169
00:07:56,653 --> 00:07:59,153
[Joseph] And why is that
floating around out there?
170
00:08:06,029 --> 00:08:07,362
[neighing]
171
00:08:11,034 --> 00:08:13,101
[Ben] So, the next person
to interview
172
00:08:13,169 --> 00:08:14,702
was Jeremy Leininger.
173
00:08:14,704 --> 00:08:17,539
Jeremy's the last person
that was seen with Clark.
174
00:08:17,541 --> 00:08:19,274
So, the antenna
started to go up.
175
00:08:20,443 --> 00:08:22,977
[Ben] Jeremy,
got a minute
to take a break?
176
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:24,945
No.
177
00:08:24,947 --> 00:08:26,981
If you are conducting
a field interview,
178
00:08:27,083 --> 00:08:29,250
you wanna put this person
on your turf.
179
00:08:29,252 --> 00:08:31,486
Your ground, not theirs.
180
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:32,887
Why don't we speak in the car?
181
00:08:32,956 --> 00:08:34,889
-It's cold out.
-Okay.
182
00:08:34,958 --> 00:08:36,491
[Joseph] You invite him
into your office
183
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,993
that happens to have
four wheels and an engine.
184
00:08:39,095 --> 00:08:41,396
It's as efficient
as a building
185
00:08:41,464 --> 00:08:42,997
and a hell of a lot quicker.
186
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,446
[Joseph] And then, Clark says,
187
00:08:58,448 --> 00:09:00,315
"I've gotta meet somebody
out at the gate.
188
00:09:00,317 --> 00:09:01,849
There's somebody
coming to see me."
189
00:09:06,189 --> 00:09:08,990
Now, Jeremy introduces Mr. X
190
00:09:08,992 --> 00:09:10,825
into this conversation.
191
00:09:10,827 --> 00:09:13,394
Somebody comes to see
our missing person.
192
00:09:14,731 --> 00:09:16,297
So, who is Mr. X
193
00:09:16,366 --> 00:09:18,533
and why would he
have to go to the gate
194
00:09:18,535 --> 00:09:19,567
to see him?
195
00:09:41,958 --> 00:09:43,424
[Ben] Jeremy downplayed it.
196
00:09:43,426 --> 00:09:44,826
That it was no big deal
197
00:09:44,828 --> 00:09:46,361
and he really didn't say
anything
198
00:09:46,363 --> 00:09:49,063
in regards to it
being a problem
199
00:09:49,065 --> 00:09:51,399
between him or Clark.
200
00:09:56,473 --> 00:09:58,539
Jeremy's cooperative,
friendly,
201
00:09:58,541 --> 00:10:01,075
reports he has
nothing to hide.
202
00:10:01,077 --> 00:10:02,644
And after Elkins
interviews him,
203
00:10:02,646 --> 00:10:04,278
he's back to square one.
204
00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:06,147
Where is Mr. Calquhoun?
205
00:10:06,149 --> 00:10:08,349
And what condition is he in?
206
00:10:08,351 --> 00:10:09,851
We don't know
if he's alive or dead.
207
00:10:14,457 --> 00:10:15,690
[phone rings]
208
00:10:18,228 --> 00:10:20,528
I had suspicions
that something happened
209
00:10:20,530 --> 00:10:23,364
that could've been foul play
but I didn't know what yet.
210
00:10:24,634 --> 00:10:26,300
So, what we did,
is initially
211
00:10:26,369 --> 00:10:29,871
we put out a, uh,
missing person bulletin.
212
00:10:29,972 --> 00:10:33,341
We began to, uh,
put up a missing
person's poster
213
00:10:33,343 --> 00:10:34,676
all over town.
214
00:10:37,147 --> 00:10:39,013
Putting up the flyers
for my dad,
215
00:10:39,015 --> 00:10:40,648
really made things
a reality.
216
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:42,050
It really made things sink i
217
00:10:42,052 --> 00:10:43,818
that something
was terribly wrong.
218
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:47,188
[Joseph] Missing persons
generally are found
relatively quickly.
219
00:10:47,257 --> 00:10:49,157
If they're not found quickly,
220
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:51,659
they didn't come home
because they can't.
221
00:10:56,966 --> 00:10:58,399
Now it's weeks later
222
00:10:58,435 --> 00:11:00,635
and two
environmental scientists
223
00:11:00,637 --> 00:11:02,603
are doing water samples
224
00:11:02,605 --> 00:11:05,273
two counties away
from Thurston County.
225
00:11:06,843 --> 00:11:08,876
They notice something
half-submerged
226
00:11:08,978 --> 00:11:11,145
in the bottom mud flow
in a river.
227
00:11:13,249 --> 00:11:15,783
And half buried
in this silt
228
00:11:15,885 --> 00:11:18,586
is the body
of a Caucasian male.
229
00:11:18,688 --> 00:11:21,556
They notify the local
county sheriff's office.
230
00:11:21,558 --> 00:11:22,890
They respond.
231
00:11:24,994 --> 00:11:26,994
[sirens blaring]
232
00:11:32,435 --> 00:11:34,535
My name is Detective
Lorenzo Gladson.
233
00:11:34,537 --> 00:11:36,237
I've been a detective
for the last six years
234
00:11:36,239 --> 00:11:38,239
with the Cowlitz County
Sheriff's Office.
235
00:11:38,241 --> 00:11:42,076
Our first goal was to identify
who this person was.
236
00:11:42,078 --> 00:11:43,544
[Wayne] The detectives
down there
237
00:11:43,546 --> 00:11:45,680
were aware of our
missing person BOLO
238
00:11:45,782 --> 00:11:47,648
that Ben Elkins had put out.
239
00:11:48,651 --> 00:11:50,451
Yeah, I think you better
get down here.
240
00:11:50,453 --> 00:11:52,153
Yeah, might've
found your guy.
241
00:11:53,656 --> 00:11:56,257
[Joseph] He sees a silver
and turquoise ring
242
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,459
on one hand.
243
00:11:58,461 --> 00:12:00,628
Well, my, my, my.
244
00:12:00,630 --> 00:12:01,829
How'd you get here
245
00:12:01,831 --> 00:12:03,698
from two counties away?
246
00:12:11,341 --> 00:12:13,441
[Joseph] So, Gladson calls
Detective Elkins
247
00:12:13,443 --> 00:12:15,543
at Thurston County SO
and says,
248
00:12:15,545 --> 00:12:18,246
"I'm pretty sure I have foun
249
00:12:18,248 --> 00:12:21,382
your missing man,
Clark Calquhoun."
250
00:12:21,451 --> 00:12:22,216
[clicks]
251
00:12:24,487 --> 00:12:26,487
[sirens blaring]
252
00:12:29,459 --> 00:12:30,358
[Ben] Hey, Gladson.
253
00:12:32,262 --> 00:12:33,161
What have we got here?
254
00:12:35,765 --> 00:12:37,932
His body's pretty dirty
with mud.
255
00:12:38,935 --> 00:12:41,636
He was not wearing
any socks or shoes.
256
00:12:41,638 --> 00:12:43,871
[Ben] There was no evidence
that we could find
257
00:12:43,973 --> 00:12:45,873
at that point because
258
00:12:45,975 --> 00:12:48,843
it had been so long now
until he'd been found.
259
00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:53,281
[Joseph] How did he get
in the middle of this river
260
00:12:54,851 --> 00:12:56,083
Was he drunk?
261
00:12:56,152 --> 00:12:57,985
Did he have a heart attack
and die
262
00:12:57,987 --> 00:12:59,153
and fell in the river?
263
00:12:59,155 --> 00:13:00,154
What happened to him?
264
00:13:00,156 --> 00:13:01,255
There's a long list.
265
00:13:05,361 --> 00:13:07,495
[Ben] At that point,
we made arrangements
266
00:13:07,563 --> 00:13:11,165
to respond down to Cowlitz
County Coroner's Office.
267
00:13:12,735 --> 00:13:15,636
And that's when
I attended the autopsy.
268
00:13:17,273 --> 00:13:18,339
[Lorenzo]
From drifting down the river
269
00:13:18,341 --> 00:13:19,674
he's gonna have some injurie
270
00:13:19,775 --> 00:13:20,908
He was hung up on rocks,
271
00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:22,844
so, yeah, he's gonna have
some scrapes and scratches.
272
00:13:22,846 --> 00:13:25,646
But when that silt
is removed with a hose,
273
00:13:25,648 --> 00:13:27,281
it became rather obvious
274
00:13:27,383 --> 00:13:28,950
how he got in that river.
275
00:13:28,952 --> 00:13:31,385
He's got two large caliper
gunshot wounds.
276
00:13:32,155 --> 00:13:33,153
That'll do it.
277
00:13:33,857 --> 00:13:36,591
At that point,
we realized that the body
278
00:13:36,659 --> 00:13:38,159
was likely dumped
in the river.
279
00:13:38,161 --> 00:13:40,194
That this was not
just a death investigation,
280
00:13:40,263 --> 00:13:41,662
but a homicide investigation.
281
00:13:43,366 --> 00:13:45,066
[Joseph] People don't
understand
282
00:13:45,068 --> 00:13:48,002
that bodies are very difficu
to dispose of
283
00:13:48,070 --> 00:13:49,637
and it'll just float away.
284
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:52,039
It'll go to Mexico.
It'll go to Japan.
285
00:13:52,041 --> 00:13:53,140
We gotta get rid of this body.
286
00:13:53,142 --> 00:13:54,342
We gotta get rid of it
right now.
287
00:13:54,344 --> 00:13:56,544
Emotion takes over judgement
288
00:13:56,546 --> 00:13:57,845
in those circumstances.
289
00:14:01,584 --> 00:14:05,086
In Clark's body,
the doctor did find a bullet.
290
00:14:07,257 --> 00:14:10,391
[Lorenzo] We measured
and weighed the round.
291
00:14:10,459 --> 00:14:12,760
I was able to identify it
as a .45 caliber round.
292
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:15,396
The significance
of the .45 caliber round
293
00:14:15,431 --> 00:14:16,763
being removed from Clark
294
00:14:16,765 --> 00:14:19,133
was that if we were able
to later develop a suspect,
295
00:14:19,135 --> 00:14:21,469
we know that we're looking
for a .45 caliber gun
296
00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:23,271
associated with that suspect
297
00:14:25,074 --> 00:14:27,241
[Joseph] So this is the wors
possible turnout
298
00:14:27,243 --> 00:14:29,143
of a missing person's case.
299
00:14:29,145 --> 00:14:31,078
Not only deceased,
not only dead,
300
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:32,480
but murdered.
301
00:14:32,548 --> 00:14:33,881
You have to tell his family
302
00:14:33,983 --> 00:14:36,450
Mr. Calquhoun has had
his life taken.
303
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:39,253
[indistinct chatter]
304
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:41,656
[Katrina] At my dad's core,
305
00:14:41,658 --> 00:14:44,959
he was a good, caring,
loving person.
306
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:48,629
Wow.
307
00:14:49,432 --> 00:14:52,066
[Katrina] And he was amazin
when I was little.
308
00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:54,235
But, because of my
dad's choices,
309
00:14:54,237 --> 00:14:56,570
a lot of my family
had been estranged
310
00:14:56,672 --> 00:14:57,972
for many years.
311
00:14:59,642 --> 00:15:01,842
[Michael] My dad had been
through some ups and downs,
312
00:15:02,545 --> 00:15:05,146
drug, alcohol related.
313
00:15:05,148 --> 00:15:06,347
And as he came back,
314
00:15:06,349 --> 00:15:08,482
um, I, sort of, hoped for him
315
00:15:08,551 --> 00:15:10,451
to get his life back
in a direction
316
00:15:10,453 --> 00:15:13,854
that was more healthy
for himself
and for our family.
317
00:15:15,191 --> 00:15:16,424
[Eric]
My brother's goal
318
00:15:16,426 --> 00:15:18,492
was to get closer
to family
319
00:15:18,561 --> 00:15:21,162
and try to reconnect
with his children.
320
00:15:25,001 --> 00:15:26,334
[Hannah] We made plans
321
00:15:26,336 --> 00:15:27,969
for my husband and I
322
00:15:27,971 --> 00:15:31,572
to take our kids to see him
on New Year's Day
323
00:15:31,641 --> 00:15:34,241
and Tina said that he was
really, really excited.
324
00:15:34,243 --> 00:15:36,177
Oh, there's no way
that he would have
325
00:15:37,246 --> 00:15:39,447
missed a chance
to see me and his grandkids.
326
00:15:43,653 --> 00:15:45,586
[Katrina] Deep down,
I had always hoped
327
00:15:45,655 --> 00:15:48,089
that I would have
my dad back in my life.
328
00:15:48,190 --> 00:15:50,257
But at the same time,
it brought peace
329
00:15:50,259 --> 00:15:52,426
knowing that he
could be brought home
330
00:15:52,428 --> 00:15:54,128
and laid to rest.
331
00:15:54,130 --> 00:15:56,831
And it felt, like, we were
gonna start getting answers
at that point.
332
00:15:56,833 --> 00:15:58,833
[indistinct chatter]
333
00:16:08,344 --> 00:16:11,379
Investigations change
their personality
334
00:16:11,447 --> 00:16:13,147
as they proceed.
335
00:16:13,149 --> 00:16:17,752
But everything emanates
from a 100 acre farm
336
00:16:17,754 --> 00:16:19,453
at the base
of Mount Rainier.
337
00:16:20,256 --> 00:16:22,223
There is Jeremy Leininger,
338
00:16:22,225 --> 00:16:24,458
the son of the owners.
339
00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:28,329
There's Randy.
There's Clark Calquhoun's
girlfriend.
340
00:16:28,331 --> 00:16:30,865
There's Mr. X
at the front gate.
341
00:16:32,335 --> 00:16:34,135
They're on this little
lazy Susan
342
00:16:34,137 --> 00:16:35,369
in the middle
of this table.
343
00:16:36,239 --> 00:16:38,439
Who's sitting on this
lazy Susan
344
00:16:38,441 --> 00:16:41,175
is responsible for making
Mr. Calquhoun
345
00:16:41,277 --> 00:16:43,244
collect silt in the river.
346
00:16:52,855 --> 00:16:54,688
Now we're investigating
a homicide,
347
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:57,158
so, we would have
to basically start over
348
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,093
and go back to the ranch.
349
00:16:59,095 --> 00:17:01,629
Reinterview and talk
to everybody.
350
00:17:01,631 --> 00:17:03,731
With Jeremy being
the last person
351
00:17:03,733 --> 00:17:05,399
that had been seen with Clark,
352
00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,935
Jeremy became
a real person of interest.
353
00:17:07,937 --> 00:17:11,038
He lived with his
mother and father
at the time.
354
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,706
[Joseph] Joel and Karen Cain
355
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:13,874
Jeremy's parents,
356
00:17:13,976 --> 00:17:15,876
who are half-owners
in the property,
357
00:17:15,978 --> 00:17:17,244
live in close proximity
358
00:17:17,246 --> 00:17:18,779
to where this body
was discovered.
359
00:17:19,148 --> 00:17:20,481
Thank you.
360
00:17:20,483 --> 00:17:23,250
[Ben] We were able to identi
various information
361
00:17:23,252 --> 00:17:26,187
that led to probable cause
to get a search warrant.
362
00:17:26,288 --> 00:17:28,089
[Wayne] With Jeremy being
the last person
363
00:17:28,091 --> 00:17:29,122
seen with Clark,
364
00:17:29,124 --> 00:17:32,259
we were really searching
Jeremy's address.
365
00:17:32,261 --> 00:17:34,662
It just happened to be
owned by his dad.
366
00:17:35,264 --> 00:17:36,831
[dog barking]
367
00:17:38,568 --> 00:17:40,868
[Wayne] Jeremy was not
at home at the time.
368
00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:45,940
I participated
in the search warrant
369
00:17:45,942 --> 00:17:47,541
of Jeremy Leininger's home.
370
00:17:48,878 --> 00:17:50,978
Good afternoon, ma'am.
I'm Detective Gladson.
371
00:17:50,980 --> 00:17:52,446
[Ben] When law
enforcement arrived,
372
00:17:52,448 --> 00:17:54,548
to Joel and Karen's house,
373
00:17:54,550 --> 00:17:57,384
Karen was told it was
regarding Clark missing.
374
00:17:58,287 --> 00:18:00,087
What do you mean he's missing?
375
00:18:00,189 --> 00:18:02,356
[Ben] Karen knew Clark
from the ranch.
376
00:18:02,358 --> 00:18:04,625
But Karen didn't know
that Clark
377
00:18:04,627 --> 00:18:06,627
was found with two
bullet holes in him
378
00:18:06,629 --> 00:18:08,629
and presumed to have
been murdered.
379
00:18:08,631 --> 00:18:11,832
My husband told me
that he moved to California.
380
00:18:11,834 --> 00:18:12,733
California?
381
00:18:13,769 --> 00:18:14,935
[Joseph] Gladson's
thought was,
382
00:18:14,937 --> 00:18:16,670
unless California
is in the middle
383
00:18:16,739 --> 00:18:18,038
of the county river,
384
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,141
he didn't move to California.
385
00:18:20,143 --> 00:18:23,144
He also wonders,
why would her husband, Joel
386
00:18:23,146 --> 00:18:25,446
tell her he just moved away?
387
00:18:26,382 --> 00:18:28,282
Oh, well, I'm sorry
to tell you,
388
00:18:28,351 --> 00:18:30,584
he's not in California.
389
00:18:30,653 --> 00:18:33,053
We found his body
down by the river.
390
00:18:33,055 --> 00:18:35,422
[Ben] You could see
on her face,
391
00:18:35,424 --> 00:18:38,459
her demeanor was thinking,
"Well, how can that be?"
392
00:18:38,461 --> 00:18:39,994
They inform her
they have a search warrant
393
00:18:40,062 --> 00:18:41,094
for the premises
394
00:18:41,096 --> 00:18:43,330
and they're searching
for a hand gun.
395
00:18:43,332 --> 00:18:44,899
[Lorenzo]
Step aside, please, Ma'am.
396
00:18:50,306 --> 00:18:52,473
[Wayne] At the time
they were executing
the search warrant,
397
00:18:52,542 --> 00:18:56,043
they hear Karen, his wife,
call Joel and say,
398
00:18:56,045 --> 00:18:57,978
"Your buddies from Thurston
County are here."
399
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,981
She's obviously was not happy
for us being there.
400
00:19:04,187 --> 00:19:06,187
[car engine revving]
401
00:19:07,056 --> 00:19:08,689
[tires skid]
402
00:19:08,757 --> 00:19:10,324
[Joel] Get your ass
off my property!
403
00:19:10,326 --> 00:19:12,092
[officer] Please calm
down, Sir.
404
00:19:12,128 --> 00:19:13,126
[Lorenzo] While I
was searching
405
00:19:13,128 --> 00:19:14,728
the inside of the Leininger
home,
406
00:19:14,730 --> 00:19:17,531
I heard a loud commotion
and somebody screaming,
407
00:19:17,533 --> 00:19:19,266
uh, out towards the driveway.
408
00:19:20,369 --> 00:19:21,669
What the hell's going on here?
409
00:19:21,737 --> 00:19:22,570
[radio chatter]
410
00:19:22,671 --> 00:19:24,171
You're trespassing!
411
00:19:24,173 --> 00:19:26,440
Joel comes rolling
in to his property.
412
00:19:26,442 --> 00:19:28,442
And here is Joel
413
00:19:28,444 --> 00:19:30,544
going out of his mind,
414
00:19:30,546 --> 00:19:33,147
ordering the police
out of his home.
415
00:19:33,149 --> 00:19:34,882
They have no right.
416
00:19:34,951 --> 00:19:36,483
Get your ass
off my property!
417
00:19:36,485 --> 00:19:38,686
-Wait right there.
-[Joel] You got
no right to be here.
418
00:19:38,754 --> 00:19:40,554
When I detective went over
419
00:19:40,556 --> 00:19:42,590
and explained to him
that we had a search warrant
420
00:19:42,691 --> 00:19:43,724
for the property,
421
00:19:43,726 --> 00:19:45,559
he got very angry.
422
00:19:47,230 --> 00:19:49,730
You wonder, why would
somebody do that?
423
00:19:49,732 --> 00:19:51,832
What are you afraid
we're going to find
424
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:52,933
in this house?
425
00:19:52,935 --> 00:19:54,034
[Joel] Get the hell
away from here.
426
00:19:54,036 --> 00:19:56,604
The deputy grabbed a hold
of Joel Leininger's wrist,
427
00:19:56,606 --> 00:19:59,240
try and detain him
and the struggle ensued.
428
00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:01,141
[officer] Drop that.
429
00:20:01,143 --> 00:20:02,743
[Joel] Hey,
get the hell away from here.
430
00:20:02,745 --> 00:20:04,478
Don't touch me.
431
00:20:04,546 --> 00:20:07,081
[Joseph] People believe
they know their rights.
432
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:11,252
I will assure you
that no one
knows their rights,
433
00:20:11,254 --> 00:20:13,454
unless they went
to law school.
434
00:20:13,456 --> 00:20:15,189
[Lorenzo] Sir,
I'm placing you under arrest
435
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:17,057
-for obstruction of justice.
-[Joel] Like hell.
436
00:20:18,561 --> 00:20:20,728
[Joseph] A search warrant's
been issued for the premise
437
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:23,097
It is the order of the court
438
00:20:23,132 --> 00:20:25,266
It doesn't matter
what you think
or what you believe.
439
00:20:26,068 --> 00:20:29,336
It takes five deputies
to control him
440
00:20:29,338 --> 00:20:30,671
and put him in a police car
441
00:20:33,609 --> 00:20:35,376
[Lorenzo] After Joel Leining
was detained,
442
00:20:35,444 --> 00:20:37,911
we continued with the search
of his residence.
443
00:20:38,648 --> 00:20:40,848
[radio chatter]
444
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:43,050
If you have somebody
that's cooperating
445
00:20:43,052 --> 00:20:44,084
with a search warrant,
446
00:20:44,186 --> 00:20:45,953
well they don't
have anything to hide.
447
00:20:45,955 --> 00:20:47,888
But generally, folks
that are worried,
448
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:49,623
are the ones that
react negatively
449
00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:51,759
when law enforcement's
present at their home.
450
00:20:57,967 --> 00:20:59,466
[officer] Hey, detective.
Come check this out.
451
00:21:02,138 --> 00:21:04,338
[Lorenzo] We searched
and found an empty holster
452
00:21:05,241 --> 00:21:07,441
that had a magazine with it
453
00:21:07,443 --> 00:21:11,078
That magazine contained
.45 caliber ammunition,
454
00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:13,647
consistent with the .45
caliber round
455
00:21:13,649 --> 00:21:15,449
that was removed
from Clark Calquhoun.
456
00:21:17,586 --> 00:21:19,253
[Joseph] So, what was
in that holster
457
00:21:19,255 --> 00:21:21,755
is most likely
the murder weapon.
458
00:21:21,757 --> 00:21:23,791
They ask the wife, Karen,
459
00:21:23,859 --> 00:21:25,225
"Who's bedroom is this?"
460
00:21:25,227 --> 00:21:28,295
assuming she's gonna say
it's Jeremy's bedroom.
461
00:21:28,397 --> 00:21:30,597
-[Lorenzo] Who's room
is this?
-Joel's.
462
00:21:30,666 --> 00:21:32,299
This is Joel's room?
463
00:21:32,368 --> 00:21:34,635
Yeah, we don't sleep together.
464
00:21:38,107 --> 00:21:43,477
That raises an eyebrow.
So, this is Joel's bedroom.
And there's his empty holster.
465
00:21:43,579 --> 00:21:48,082
And now we have Joel outsid
the house going absolutely
out of his mind
466
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:49,550
as they're searching
the place.
467
00:21:49,552 --> 00:21:52,986
That, kind of, raises flags
where, now are we looking at
468
00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:54,922
Joel as the person
that killed Clark?
469
00:21:54,924 --> 00:21:59,059
It doesn't take
Sherlock Holmes to decide
that there's something here.
470
00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:10,637
[Joseph] So, they bring
Joel in to
their sheriff's department,
471
00:22:10,639 --> 00:22:15,142
because he's in custody
and he has calmed down
to some degree.
472
00:22:15,144 --> 00:22:16,343
[Joel] This is a complete
waste of time.
473
00:22:16,345 --> 00:22:18,078
I don't even know why
you have me down here.
474
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:22,449
Gladson explains that
they have found Mr. Calquhoun,
he's a victim of a homicide.
475
00:22:22,451 --> 00:22:24,351
Well, the problem...
476
00:22:24,353 --> 00:22:26,587
is Clark Calquhoun was shot
with a .45.
477
00:22:26,655 --> 00:22:30,090
[Ben] Here we got a summer
type holster
478
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:34,361
inside his residence that
he would have access to.
No gun...
479
00:22:34,363 --> 00:22:36,497
So how do you explain that,
Joel?
480
00:22:37,566 --> 00:22:39,233
I haven't seen that gun
in months.
481
00:22:39,235 --> 00:22:42,436
I reported it missing
back in September.
482
00:22:42,438 --> 00:22:45,439
[Lorenzo] We searched
and found a record
of Leininger
483
00:22:45,441 --> 00:22:48,442
reporting his .45 caliber
handgun as missing
484
00:22:48,444 --> 00:22:50,677
in September of 2016.
485
00:22:52,148 --> 00:22:54,715
When Joel was arrested,
it was strictly
486
00:22:54,717 --> 00:22:57,684
for the obstruction of justice
and resisting arrest.
487
00:22:57,753 --> 00:23:01,622
So we didn't have any factual
information to be able to do
anything
488
00:23:01,624 --> 00:23:05,259
in regards to detaining
or charging Joel
with any crime.
489
00:23:05,261 --> 00:23:08,662
All we had was what we calle
"Skinny evidence."
490
00:23:09,265 --> 00:23:10,764
[softly] Cut him loose.
491
00:23:12,835 --> 00:23:16,537
Joel posted bail immediately
for obstructing
a law enforcement officer
492
00:23:16,539 --> 00:23:19,440
and resisting arrest,
and then was released.
493
00:23:19,442 --> 00:23:22,142
[Ben] Joel could now be
our primary suspect.
494
00:23:22,144 --> 00:23:26,146
But all we had was a lot
of circumstantial evidence.
495
00:23:26,148 --> 00:23:28,949
So we still haven't identifi
who killed Clark.
496
00:23:28,951 --> 00:23:30,484
It can be anybody
at this point.
497
00:23:30,553 --> 00:23:33,587
In a murder case,
you're investigating
total darkness.
498
00:23:33,689 --> 00:23:35,823
You're punching in the dark.
499
00:23:35,825 --> 00:23:37,958
You want somebody
to say "Ouch."
500
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,827
And if somebody says "Ouch,"
501
00:23:39,829 --> 00:23:41,495
then you shot a life.
502
00:23:46,235 --> 00:23:48,135
So as you learn
503
00:23:48,137 --> 00:23:52,239
more about the dynamics
and more about
their personalities,
504
00:23:52,241 --> 00:23:57,044
then you go back
and re-interview people
from a different perspective.
505
00:23:57,046 --> 00:23:59,546
Elkins decides to re-intervi
Randy,
506
00:23:59,548 --> 00:24:03,450
the friend who was in the car
when Clark and Inman
507
00:24:03,452 --> 00:24:05,452
and Randy were gonna
go shopping.
508
00:24:07,189 --> 00:24:08,722
Hey, Randy.
509
00:24:08,724 --> 00:24:10,891
Hey! What can I do for you?
510
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,061
This time, Elkins is armed
with more facts.
511
00:24:14,063 --> 00:24:16,196
You happen to remember
anything strange
512
00:24:16,298 --> 00:24:19,366
leading up to the days
before Clark's disappearance?
513
00:24:21,136 --> 00:24:22,102
[Randy] Well...
514
00:24:24,039 --> 00:24:25,739
Now that you mention it, uh...
515
00:24:25,741 --> 00:24:26,940
Yeah, the other night--
516
00:24:27,543 --> 00:24:30,477
How 'bout that? [chuckles]
517
00:24:30,579 --> 00:24:34,681
Randy shared, uh,
before Clark went missing,
518
00:24:34,750 --> 00:24:37,751
he was with Jeremy
and a friend of his
519
00:24:37,753 --> 00:24:39,520
identified as Tyler.
520
00:24:39,522 --> 00:24:41,221
[Joseph] Randy
goes on to report
521
00:24:41,223 --> 00:24:45,959
that Tyler was talking abou
burying dead cows
on the property.
522
00:24:45,961 --> 00:24:49,596
Ranchers find a place where
they can just dig a hole
and drop their cow in.
523
00:24:50,232 --> 00:24:51,732
Then...
524
00:24:51,734 --> 00:24:53,634
I don't know. Tyler kinda
got a little weird.
525
00:24:54,970 --> 00:24:57,070
I remember Tyler saying...
526
00:24:57,072 --> 00:24:59,339
You could probably bury
a body out there, too.
527
00:25:01,043 --> 00:25:03,477
Nobody would ever know.
528
00:25:03,546 --> 00:25:07,581
[Joseph] Well, that's a pret
interesting conversation
two days before
529
00:25:07,683 --> 00:25:10,484
Mr. Calquhoun goes missing
and lands up murdered.
530
00:25:10,586 --> 00:25:13,453
Now, he wasn't in a grave,
but dead, he was.
531
00:25:14,256 --> 00:25:15,689
He actually said those words?
532
00:25:16,425 --> 00:25:17,590
Yes, sir.
533
00:25:18,727 --> 00:25:22,629
We're wondering now,
maybe Tyler had some direct
534
00:25:22,631 --> 00:25:26,199
involvement in regards to
the murder of Clark.
535
00:25:27,136 --> 00:25:29,436
So Elkins has to talk to
Tyler Frasier.
536
00:25:29,438 --> 00:25:32,239
What about this conversation
you had at this party?
537
00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:39,646
What we're trying to do,
Tyler, is find out
538
00:25:39,648 --> 00:25:42,316
exactly what happened to
Clark Calquhoun.
539
00:25:42,318 --> 00:25:44,451
We interviewed Tyler
at his residence.
540
00:25:44,453 --> 00:25:47,154
I don't know what happened
to the dude.
541
00:25:47,156 --> 00:25:49,690
-But you work with him
on a ranch.
-Yeah.
542
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,959
Sometimes.
543
00:25:51,961 --> 00:25:56,296
He indicated he did know
Clark, that he was friends
with Jeremy.
544
00:25:56,365 --> 00:25:59,499
And that he would
occasionally work
on the property in Reinier,
545
00:25:59,568 --> 00:26:03,303
but denied any involvement
or any knowledge of
what we were talking about.
546
00:26:03,339 --> 00:26:06,607
[Joseph] Tyler says he was
with his girlfriend
and never left his place
547
00:26:06,609 --> 00:26:09,176
the day that Calquhoun
went missing.
548
00:26:09,244 --> 00:26:11,345
You don't recall having
a conversation with Jeremy
549
00:26:11,347 --> 00:26:13,080
about burying a body
on the ranch?
550
00:26:13,549 --> 00:26:14,481
What?
551
00:26:14,984 --> 00:26:16,450
That wasn't me.
552
00:26:16,452 --> 00:26:20,354
He indicated that
the conversations were
between Randy and Jeremy.
553
00:26:20,356 --> 00:26:21,488
You know...
554
00:26:22,591 --> 00:26:24,758
You could probably bury
a body out there, too.
555
00:26:25,661 --> 00:26:27,427
And nobody'd ever know.
556
00:26:27,429 --> 00:26:30,130
-You're crazy, man.
-[Randy chuckles]
557
00:26:30,132 --> 00:26:33,300
[Ben] Tyler says some map
was brought out
558
00:26:33,368 --> 00:26:35,769
and they were actually
comparing locations
559
00:26:35,837 --> 00:26:39,172
on that property where
something could be buried.
560
00:26:39,241 --> 00:26:42,376
So, Elkins after
talking to Frasier,
561
00:26:42,444 --> 00:26:46,580
realizes that Randy lied
to him. Directly
and thoughtfully lied.
562
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:51,785
That he was having
a conversation about
burying dead things
563
00:26:51,887 --> 00:26:53,086
and not Mr. Frasier.
564
00:26:53,122 --> 00:26:54,721
So when someone does that,
565
00:26:54,723 --> 00:26:58,258
it makes you think
as an investigator that they
are trying to hide something.
566
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:02,295
[Joseph] In fact,
lying is always a bad thing
567
00:27:02,331 --> 00:27:03,797
Why would you lie to me?
568
00:27:03,865 --> 00:27:06,166
What else are you
lying to me about?
569
00:27:10,639 --> 00:27:12,405
[Clark exclaims]
570
00:27:14,243 --> 00:27:18,245
[Joseph] Clark Calquhoun ha
plans with his daughter
and her children,
571
00:27:18,247 --> 00:27:19,780
his grandchildren.
572
00:27:19,848 --> 00:27:23,483
These children were very close
to him, he was very close
to them.
573
00:27:23,552 --> 00:27:26,653
He's trying the best he can
to live his life.
574
00:27:26,655 --> 00:27:29,022
And someone decides
to take it.
575
00:27:29,024 --> 00:27:30,657
I'm afraid
that's against the law.
576
00:27:35,998 --> 00:27:40,300
Elkins is preparing to summo
Randy for another interview
577
00:27:40,368 --> 00:27:42,536
when Randy shows up
in his office.
578
00:27:42,538 --> 00:27:46,039
When it comes to murder,
best friends are meaningless.
579
00:27:46,041 --> 00:27:48,075
I'm a little surprised
you wanted to see me, Randy.
580
00:27:48,077 --> 00:27:51,678
Yeah... Well,
I got something I gotta
get off my chest.
581
00:27:51,714 --> 00:27:53,346
Oh?
582
00:27:53,348 --> 00:27:56,683
Elkins likes it when somebody
has to get something
off their chest.
583
00:27:56,785 --> 00:27:58,552
I always did as well.
584
00:27:58,554 --> 00:28:01,088
Guilt is a terrible thing.
585
00:28:01,189 --> 00:28:03,890
For the police,
an extremely useful thing.
586
00:28:03,992 --> 00:28:07,094
Um, I told you that Clark
and Jeremy,
587
00:28:07,195 --> 00:28:09,162
they didn't have any problems
with each other.
588
00:28:10,833 --> 00:28:11,998
Well...
589
00:28:13,402 --> 00:28:15,769
Um, that wasn't entirely true.
590
00:28:15,871 --> 00:28:19,272
[Joseph] Randy directly
and specifically lied
to Elkins
591
00:28:19,341 --> 00:28:22,075
because he was afraid
he'd lose his job,
592
00:28:22,144 --> 00:28:24,244
he'd lose
what little life he had,
593
00:28:24,246 --> 00:28:27,681
if he ratted the owner's son.
594
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:30,183
[Ben] Randy shared
with us that Jeremy
595
00:28:30,285 --> 00:28:31,885
flat-out did not like,
596
00:28:31,987 --> 00:28:35,088
possibly hated Clark
for many reasons.
597
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,527
Jeremy pretty much felt tha
598
00:28:40,529 --> 00:28:42,963
Clark was taking advantage
of his uncle.
599
00:28:42,965 --> 00:28:46,099
And that he was basically
living on the property
for free,
600
00:28:46,168 --> 00:28:48,435
not having to pay
for anything.
601
00:28:48,437 --> 00:28:51,271
Toss the smoke
and help us out, okay?
602
00:28:51,373 --> 00:28:52,639
-All right.
-Do something.
603
00:28:52,641 --> 00:28:54,241
[Joseph] Jeremy was convince
604
00:28:54,243 --> 00:28:57,144
that Clark was a freeloader
lazy,
605
00:28:57,146 --> 00:29:00,046
Clark refused to work
around the ranch
606
00:29:00,048 --> 00:29:03,150
on and on and on.
607
00:29:03,986 --> 00:29:06,286
[Ben] Randy emphasized that
608
00:29:06,355 --> 00:29:08,989
this negative relationship
between the both of them
609
00:29:09,090 --> 00:29:11,992
had been going on
for quite a while.
610
00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:15,495
And right before
Clark went missing,
611
00:29:15,531 --> 00:29:19,199
Jeremy, he just going
on and on about how Clark
stole money from him.
612
00:29:21,336 --> 00:29:25,639
[Joseph] He goes on to say
that Jeremy was more
than angry,
613
00:29:25,641 --> 00:29:29,743
Jeremy was wild about
the missing money from
his truck.
614
00:29:29,745 --> 00:29:31,845
[yells] Son of a bitch!
615
00:29:31,847 --> 00:29:35,282
Jeremy was convinced
that Clark is the one
who stole it.
616
00:29:35,784 --> 00:29:36,750
Did he?
617
00:29:37,286 --> 00:29:38,752
Man, I don't know.
618
00:29:39,822 --> 00:29:44,391
We never did identify for sure
if Clark stole any money
from Jeremy.
619
00:29:45,627 --> 00:29:49,729
Jeremy is convincing himself
of all the reasons why
620
00:29:49,731 --> 00:29:52,833
Clark should not be permitted
to live on this planet.
621
00:29:52,835 --> 00:29:54,401
Most of which are invented.
622
00:29:55,671 --> 00:29:57,637
-[dog barks distantly]
-[police radio chatter]
623
00:30:02,744 --> 00:30:03,877
[knocking at door]
624
00:30:08,150 --> 00:30:09,850
I have a few questions
to Jeremy.
625
00:30:09,852 --> 00:30:11,985
[Ben] Once Randy
shared this with us,
626
00:30:12,087 --> 00:30:14,721
we tried to talk to Jeremy
another time,
627
00:30:14,723 --> 00:30:16,957
he declined to provide
any statements,
628
00:30:16,959 --> 00:30:21,027
and requested a lawyer.
So, we couldn't ask him
any more questions.
629
00:30:21,029 --> 00:30:24,731
People run from the police,
they climb,
they're like animals.
630
00:30:24,733 --> 00:30:27,834
Where you going?
Stairway to Heaven is a son.
631
00:30:27,836 --> 00:30:29,970
There is no escape.
632
00:30:29,972 --> 00:30:32,439
[Ben] We had
all circumstantial evidence
633
00:30:32,441 --> 00:30:36,142
The problem is, is that
may not be enough to
634
00:30:36,144 --> 00:30:38,445
establish probable cause
to arrest,
635
00:30:38,447 --> 00:30:41,781
and get a conviction.
We needed something concrete.
636
00:30:47,256 --> 00:30:48,688
Shortly thereafter,
637
00:30:48,757 --> 00:30:51,391
Detective Gladson
had phoned me
638
00:30:51,459 --> 00:30:54,027
and indicated that two people
had come forth
639
00:30:54,029 --> 00:30:58,098
and had some information
about the involvement
of Jeremy.
640
00:30:58,166 --> 00:31:01,501
The two people were tenants
of Joel Leininger.
641
00:31:01,569 --> 00:31:03,203
They lived
on the same property.
642
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:06,106
And they were friends
with Jeremy Leininger.
643
00:31:10,245 --> 00:31:13,046
We decided to split 'em up
644
00:31:13,048 --> 00:31:16,483
and Detective Gladson
interviewed the male witness.
645
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:19,152
And I interviewed
a female witness.
646
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:41,741
[Joseph] A direct confessio
to murder.
647
00:31:41,743 --> 00:31:44,644
Secrets don't stay secrets.
648
00:31:44,646 --> 00:31:47,981
People suffer from diarrhea
of the mouth.
649
00:31:48,083 --> 00:31:50,850
They always have
and they always will.
650
00:31:53,188 --> 00:31:56,389
[Ben] And it's getting
exciting, 'cause now
you got witnesses
651
00:31:56,491 --> 00:31:59,059
that Jeremy conversed with
and told 'em
652
00:31:59,061 --> 00:32:00,894
that he killed Clark.
653
00:32:00,996 --> 00:32:02,529
[Joseph] Is it enough
to arrest him?
654
00:32:02,531 --> 00:32:03,596
Not really.
655
00:32:03,598 --> 00:32:06,132
But Elkins has another card
up his sleeve.
656
00:32:06,134 --> 00:32:08,935
He gets a warrant for
Jeremy's cell phone records.
657
00:32:18,647 --> 00:32:20,947
[Wayne] Big brother is real
658
00:32:20,949 --> 00:32:23,650
Your phone is never off.
And so,
659
00:32:23,652 --> 00:32:25,885
if you keep your phone on,
yeah, we'll find ya.
660
00:32:25,987 --> 00:32:27,887
It's that simple.
661
00:32:27,956 --> 00:32:32,525
Elkins gets telephone records
and what does he discover?
662
00:32:32,527 --> 00:32:36,997
Jeremy's phone moves
between all the points
required.
663
00:32:37,666 --> 00:32:40,066
To include, the ranch,
664
00:32:40,068 --> 00:32:43,370
and the site where the body
is dumped.
665
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:48,308
[Ben] Also, we were able to
ping the towers.
666
00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:51,344
and one of the things
that the ping showed
was that
667
00:32:51,346 --> 00:32:53,780
Jeremy stopped
at a friend's house
668
00:32:53,848 --> 00:32:56,950
and that friend was identifi
as John Perry.
669
00:32:58,987 --> 00:33:01,354
[Lorenzo] He's at John's hou
for approximately 20 minute
670
00:33:01,356 --> 00:33:03,523
before the two head back nor
671
00:33:03,525 --> 00:33:05,191
to the Reinier property.
672
00:33:05,227 --> 00:33:09,029
I say both of them,
because their phone records
mirrored each other.
673
00:33:09,031 --> 00:33:10,530
Both phones are together.
674
00:33:10,532 --> 00:33:13,733
And go exactly to the ranch
675
00:33:13,735 --> 00:33:15,969
And then are found going ou
Rose Valley
676
00:33:15,971 --> 00:33:18,371
which is out towards the riv
in Cowlitz County.
677
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,407
Yeah, they probably should
leave their phone at home.
678
00:33:20,409 --> 00:33:23,977
Unfortunately, most criminals
aren't very swift.
679
00:33:24,046 --> 00:33:29,082
So now we were looking at
John Perry as the
co-conspirator at minimal.
680
00:33:29,084 --> 00:33:32,152
[Joseph] Elkins needs to pu
Jeremy over his head.
681
00:33:32,154 --> 00:33:34,988
And the way to do that
is to talk to Mr. Perry.
682
00:33:34,990 --> 00:33:37,724
Mr. Perry is gonna have
some information
683
00:33:37,726 --> 00:33:40,460
that's going
to crucify Jeremy.
684
00:33:48,637 --> 00:33:52,439
Elkins has the same group
of players he's had
from the beginning.
685
00:33:52,441 --> 00:33:54,407
But it's finally starting
to straighten out.
686
00:33:54,409 --> 00:33:58,745
Jeremy Leininger
is most likely
the person responsible.
687
00:33:58,747 --> 00:34:02,082
He might have had a helper,
and his name is John Perry.
688
00:34:07,155 --> 00:34:09,989
John Perry was the last piece
that we needed
689
00:34:10,091 --> 00:34:12,492
because, you know,
everything else was hearsay
690
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,793
and circumstantial.
691
00:34:13,829 --> 00:34:16,096
And John Perry, he was there
692
00:34:16,098 --> 00:34:17,630
[indistinct radio chatter]
693
00:34:17,632 --> 00:34:19,432
[knocking at door]
694
00:34:19,434 --> 00:34:23,770
I located John
at an apartment complex
in Longview, Washington.
695
00:34:23,839 --> 00:34:26,439
Mr. Perry, I'm here to speak
with you about
Jeremy Leininger
696
00:34:26,441 --> 00:34:28,141
and the murder
of Clark Calquhoun.
697
00:34:28,844 --> 00:34:30,310
Yeah?
698
00:34:30,312 --> 00:34:32,345
Perry initially says,
"I don't know what
you're talking about.
699
00:34:32,347 --> 00:34:34,280
I don't know anything
about that."
700
00:34:34,382 --> 00:34:37,350
All right. Let's come
out here, we're gonna
take you in for questioning.
701
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:40,987
[Ben] He denied
a lot of things.
702
00:34:41,056 --> 00:34:42,889
But we had enough
to arrest him
703
00:34:42,924 --> 00:34:46,092
for that crime as being
a co-conspirator
of a homicide.
704
00:34:47,429 --> 00:34:49,963
[Lorenzo] He was booked
in the Thurston County jail.
705
00:34:49,965 --> 00:34:51,831
Locked $250,000 of bail.
706
00:34:51,833 --> 00:34:54,534
He knew he was facing
significant time.
707
00:35:20,428 --> 00:35:23,997
And Mr. Perry says,
"Let me tell you what I know."
708
00:35:24,032 --> 00:35:25,532
Please do.
709
00:35:25,534 --> 00:35:28,001
And that was when
the case blew open.
710
00:35:34,242 --> 00:35:38,144
He had indicated exactly
what his involvement was.
711
00:35:38,146 --> 00:35:39,546
And what transpired.
712
00:35:39,548 --> 00:35:41,314
At some point in time,
713
00:35:41,316 --> 00:35:44,150
Jeremy was fed up,
he was done with Clark.
714
00:35:46,254 --> 00:35:49,589
[Joseph] Jeremy is the perso
with the smallest motive
in the world.
715
00:35:49,658 --> 00:35:51,991
He doesn't like Clark,
716
00:35:51,993 --> 00:35:54,527
that turns into hating Clark,
717
00:35:54,529 --> 00:35:57,830
that turns into overwhelming
desire to kill him.
718
00:36:01,937 --> 00:36:06,172
So what does Jeremy do?
He needs the means
to get rid of Clark.
719
00:36:06,241 --> 00:36:08,241
Well, his dad's got the means.
720
00:36:08,243 --> 00:36:10,343
A .45 automatic.
721
00:36:11,379 --> 00:36:14,180
And eventually, he gets
enough nerve to use it.
722
00:36:14,249 --> 00:36:15,515
Hey, Clark.
723
00:36:15,517 --> 00:36:17,050
Yeah?
724
00:36:17,052 --> 00:36:18,551
There's a hole in the fence
over in the northeast side
of the ranch.
725
00:36:18,553 --> 00:36:20,787
Think I could a little hand
in fixing it, please?
726
00:36:20,855 --> 00:36:22,255
[Clark] Sure thing, Jeremy.
727
00:36:24,826 --> 00:36:28,595
Clark Calquhoun walks into
a death trap without knowing.
728
00:36:30,966 --> 00:36:32,966
[Jeremy] Thanks
for your help, Clark.
729
00:36:32,968 --> 00:36:35,235
Wanna come smoke some weed
with my buddy John and I
real quick?
730
00:36:35,237 --> 00:36:37,003
-Yeah, I'm always down
for that.
-Hop in.
731
00:36:55,657 --> 00:36:58,091
[Ben] They picked up
John Perry
732
00:36:58,126 --> 00:37:00,727
and they had marijuana
in the truck.
733
00:37:00,729 --> 00:37:03,830
They went back
to their property
on Reinier Road.
734
00:37:03,832 --> 00:37:04,998
And something happened.
735
00:37:26,655 --> 00:37:27,754
So, Clark...
736
00:37:29,357 --> 00:37:30,890
I'm missing some money,
you take it?
737
00:37:31,359 --> 00:37:32,859
Not this again.
738
00:37:40,135 --> 00:37:42,268
[gunshots]
739
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:46,839
And when he turned,
Clark was on the ground.
740
00:37:46,841 --> 00:37:48,841
And Jeremy was holding
a gun.
741
00:38:04,526 --> 00:38:05,591
[John] What did you do?
742
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:07,026
[Jeremy] Help me pick
this guy up, will ya?
743
00:38:07,028 --> 00:38:08,361
[John] No, no!
744
00:38:30,051 --> 00:38:32,318
[Wayne] So, he drug the bod
to an area of the farm
745
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,520
where they had a backhoe
746
00:38:34,522 --> 00:38:37,623
that he was able to lift
Clark's body and buck it
off the backhoe
747
00:38:37,625 --> 00:38:39,759
and then deposit it
in the back of his truck.
748
00:38:41,663 --> 00:38:43,696
[Ben] They went southbound
on I-5.
749
00:38:43,698 --> 00:38:46,566
They proceeded down
to our Coweeman River.
750
00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:12,325
[Joseph] Jeremy believes
no one will ever know
what happened to Clark.
751
00:39:12,327 --> 00:39:13,859
Oh, I don't think so.
752
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:22,301
Jeremy told people he melted
the gun down. We never
found the weapon.
753
00:39:22,370 --> 00:39:23,970
No blisters, none of that.
754
00:39:23,972 --> 00:39:26,439
But we have the statement
of a helper.
755
00:39:26,441 --> 00:39:28,741
We have all the other
circumstances to go with it.
756
00:39:28,743 --> 00:39:33,079
All this information was more
than enough to establish
a probable cause,
757
00:39:33,081 --> 00:39:35,081
where the prosecutor agreed,
"Yes."
758
00:39:35,183 --> 00:39:37,750
We now have probable cause
to arrest Jeremy.
759
00:39:42,190 --> 00:39:44,657
He was arrested
in Cowlitz County.
760
00:39:46,327 --> 00:39:50,229
He was transported to
Thurston County where he wa
booked in our jail.
761
00:39:50,231 --> 00:39:53,599
And at no time
did he co-operate
with law enforcement.
762
00:39:56,171 --> 00:40:00,740
[Joseph] The result of that
is that he is convicted
for the crime of murder.
763
00:40:00,742 --> 00:40:03,976
And received a sentence
of 18 years
764
00:40:03,978 --> 00:40:07,146
in the Washington State
Penitentiary for his crime.
765
00:40:07,749 --> 00:40:09,715
John Perry pleads guilty
766
00:40:09,717 --> 00:40:12,652
and is sentenced to 12 month
in prison.
767
00:40:20,361 --> 00:40:26,399
As far as a lot of the details
and how my brother was
768
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:27,667
murdered...
769
00:40:28,970 --> 00:40:32,872
I really tried to distance
myself from a lot of that,
770
00:40:32,974 --> 00:40:34,073
because at that point,
771
00:40:34,075 --> 00:40:37,643
there's nothing I can do
to change what had happened.
772
00:40:37,645 --> 00:40:39,445
My brother's not coming back.
773
00:40:41,850 --> 00:40:43,950
[Hannah]
Nobody deserves
to die that way.
774
00:40:44,486 --> 00:40:45,985
My dad...
775
00:40:46,087 --> 00:40:48,554
He was just kind and gentle,
and...
776
00:40:49,958 --> 00:40:51,157
a teddy bear.
777
00:40:53,728 --> 00:40:55,795
[Katrina] I know
my Dad's in heaven.
778
00:40:55,797 --> 00:40:58,197
And I know he's watching
me and my kids.
779
00:40:59,234 --> 00:41:02,835
And I know he knows
that I love him deeply.
780
00:41:02,837 --> 00:41:05,671
But I wish I would have had
the opportunity
to tell him that,
781
00:41:05,707 --> 00:41:08,341
at one point in my life.
782
00:41:08,343 --> 00:41:12,144
[Michael] I do wish I could
convey to my father where
we are now as a family.
783
00:41:12,146 --> 00:41:16,282
That, we're okay,
that through this tragedy,
784
00:41:16,350 --> 00:41:18,784
uh, we've been made stronger.
785
00:41:18,853 --> 00:41:23,689
I'm incredibly grateful
for Detective Elkins
786
00:41:23,725 --> 00:41:26,759
and the personal attention
that he gave to our family.
787
00:41:30,231 --> 00:41:33,199
[Ben] Nobody wants to
have a family member murdered.
788
00:41:33,267 --> 00:41:36,002
But to have someone held
accountable,
789
00:41:36,070 --> 00:41:38,337
it's nice, because
they're able to have closure.
790
00:41:38,339 --> 00:41:41,173
So, it was rewarding for me
as a detective.
791
00:41:41,242 --> 00:41:44,644
Because I truly believe
Jeremy was evil.
792
00:41:44,646 --> 00:41:48,080
Elkins stood
in Calquhoun's shoes,
because he couldn't anymore.
793
00:41:48,149 --> 00:41:49,615
He became his voice.
794
00:41:49,617 --> 00:41:52,051
Like all homicide detective
795
00:41:52,053 --> 00:41:54,287
all over this country,
every day.
796
00:41:55,356 --> 00:41:57,590
There was a poem
written once about it.
797
00:41:57,659 --> 00:42:00,426
It says, "I have been
where you fear to be.
798
00:42:00,428 --> 00:42:02,828
I have gone
where you fear to go.
799
00:42:02,830 --> 00:42:05,731
I have seen
things you don't wish to see.
800
00:42:05,733 --> 00:42:07,867
All these things
I've done for you."
