[squawking]
[Joseph] We are at the base of Mount Rainie
in the state of Washington.
One of the most beautiful places in this country.
One that you would never believe
could encounter violence.
[sirens blaring]
[Joseph] We have a 20-year-old kid
who's being interviewed and interrogated
about a very dangerous killer.
[Joseph] Villains are capabl of terrible things.
And they're capable of that
with little or no motivation.
[Joseph] He has decided he hates him.
Then he's decided he's gonna kill him.
You have a person who acts out of instinct.
His instinct is to kill.
How dangerous is that?
About as dangerous as you can get.
I spent my career closing murder cases.
But I'm not the only one
who answered the call.
It takes a rare breed
to solve the unsolvable.
To catch a ruthless killer.
To find justice for the dead.
That's what it takes
to be an American Detectiv.
I'm Ben Elkins.
I was a major crimes detective
for Thurston County Sheriff's Office
located in Olympia, Washington.
I had a law enforcement care for over 28 years.
I always like being challenged.
Most people don't have that opportunity
to see the real evil in society.
But as law enforcement officer,
you had the challenge to figure out who did it
and hold them accountable.
[cows mooing]
[Joseph] A woman who lives on a ranch,
calls the Thurston County Sheriff's Department
to report that her boyfriend
has been missing for three days.
Detective Elkins responds to the call.
[radio chatter]
This woman is Tina Inman.
Her boyfriend is Clark Calquhoun.
He's 53 years old
and he's employed as a handyman on this ranch
Hi.
[Ben] Following up on your missing person's report.
[Michael] My dad came to work on this ranch.
Had had some hard times in life.
The owners of the ranch were friends.
And so, they saw an opportunity
to help him get back on his feet.
[Katrina Miller] My dad was no stranger to the farm life
and to taking care of the animals
and repairing things that needed to be repaired.
He was somebody who could fix pretty much anything.
[Joseph] As a perk of his employment,
he's given a space to park his trailer.
So, he has a trailer he lives in and is kept ther
on the property at no charge to Mr. Calquhoun.
[Ben] The ownership of the property
was a brotherly partnership
But the one brother that lived on it,
owned most of the property.
And then the other brother, Joel,
he owned a smaller portion of it.
It was a very large piece of property.
It was pushing 200 acres between the two of them.
When's the last time you saw Clark?
Oh, three days ago.
[Joseph] Ms. Inman explains
that on the 28th of December,
she, Mr. Calquhoun
and another friend, Randy,
were intending to go shopping in the evening.
They were about to leave,
when Jeremy Leininger,
son of one of the two brothers
that owns the place,
came up on a tractor and stopped them.
Hey, Clark.
Yeah.
[Ben] He asked Clark to stay behind
and help build some fences.
So, Clark goes with Jeremy,
off to do this work.
And Ms. Inman and her friend, Randy,
continue on with their shopping.
Clark, I'm home.
Ms. Inman returns quite late
from her shopping trip.
[Tina] Clark?
[Joseph] But Clark isn't there.
So, the next morning, when she wakes up,
Clark still isn't there.
And by the morning of the third day,
she decides to report this to the police.
Does Clark carry a cell phone?
No, he uses mine.
He just wouldn't do something like this.
I mean, he even left his wallet there.
[Joseph] She says, "The onl thing that isn't here,
is a turquoise and silver ring
that he often wears."
So Elkins thinks,
"Maybe this isn't somebody missing."
Maybe it's somebody who's been done away with.
[Tina] I just know something bad has happened to him.
[Ben] As a investigator,
there's always these things called indicators.
And when I interviewed Tina,
I didn't pick up on any indicators
that she was involved in any foul play.
Did Clark have any enemies?
Is anybody out to get him?
Not really.
Inman says, "No. Everybody loves Clark."
But there was something a few days ago
that struck her as very odd.
She says one of the owners
mentioned to her that Jeremy,
the son of the owners,
had complained to her that he was missing $150
and he believed that Clark
had taken his money from his truck.
[Ben] Tina never indicated that Clark
all of a sudden, had extra money.
'Cause he would have shared that with her.
They would've used it for groceries or whatever.
Okay, Tina.
Here's my card. If you think of anything else...
[Joseph] Elkins, of course, wants to have confirmation
of what Inman has to say.
You cannot rely on a single source.
So, Elkins runs down Randy,
the friend who was in the car
when Clark and Inman were gonna go shopping.
[moos]
-[Ben] Excuse me, Randy. -Yeah.
[Ben] Detective Elkins.
You got a minute to speak with me?
[Joseph] He explains to Rand
that Clark has been missing now for three days.
And he wants to know what he recalls
about the night he went missing.
[Randy] Three of us were getting ready to go in town.
Jeremy came and grabbed Clark.
Needed help doing something.
[Ben] Both their statements were very consistent
on the last time that they had both seen him
and what transpired.
Elkins then asked Randy,
"Has there been any confrontations with anyone
that you're aware of?"
No. Everybody's getting along just fine here.
I understand that Jeremy
thought Clark stole some money from him.
[scoffs] Uh, that's news to me.
[Joseph] Randy said, "They have no issues between them."
So, there's still this lingering question
of where did this accusation come from?
If you could think of anything,
give us a call.
[Joseph] And why is that floating around out there?
[neighing]
[Ben] So, the next person to interview
was Jeremy Leininger.
Jeremy's the last person that was seen with Clark.
So, the antenna started to go up.
[Ben] Jeremy, got a minute to take a break?
No.
If you are conducting a field interview,
you wanna put this person on your turf.
Your ground, not theirs.
Why don't we speak in the car?
-It's cold out. -Okay.
[Joseph] You invite him into your office
that happens to have four wheels and an engine.
It's as efficient as a building
and a hell of a lot quicker.
[Joseph] And then, Clark says,
"I've gotta meet somebody out at the gate.
There's somebody coming to see me."
Now, Jeremy introduces Mr. X
into this conversation.
Somebody comes to see our missing person.
So, who is Mr. X
and why would he have to go to the gate
to see him?
[Ben] Jeremy downplayed it.
That it was no big deal
and he really didn't say anything
in regards to it being a problem
between him or Clark.
Jeremy's cooperative, friendly,
reports he has nothing to hide.
And after Elkins interviews him,
he's back to square one.
Where is Mr. Calquhoun?
And what condition is he in?
We don't know if he's alive or dead.
[phone rings]
I had suspicions that something happened
that could've been foul play but I didn't know what yet.
So, what we did, is initially
we put out a, uh, missing person bulletin.
We began to, uh, put up a missing person's poster
all over town.
Putting up the flyers for my dad,
really made things a reality.
It really made things sink i
that something was terribly wrong.
[Joseph] Missing persons generally are found relatively quickly.
If they're not found quickly,
they didn't come home because they can't.
Now it's weeks later
and two environmental scientists
are doing water samples
two counties away from Thurston County.
They notice something half-submerged
in the bottom mud flow in a river.
And half buried in this silt
is the body of a Caucasian male.
They notify the local county sheriff's office.
They respond.
[sirens blaring]
My name is Detective Lorenzo Gladson.
I've been a detective for the last six years
with the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office.
Our first goal was to identify who this person was.
[Wayne] The detectives down there
were aware of our missing person BOLO
that Ben Elkins had put out.
Yeah, I think you better get down here.
Yeah, might've found your guy.
[Joseph] He sees a silver and turquoise ring
on one hand.
Well, my, my, my.
How'd you get here
from two counties away?
[Joseph] So, Gladson calls Detective Elkins
at Thurston County SO and says,
"I'm pretty sure I have foun
your missing man, Clark Calquhoun."
[clicks]
[sirens blaring]
[Ben] Hey, Gladson.
What have we got here?
His body's pretty dirty with mud.
He was not wearing any socks or shoes.
[Ben] There was no evidence that we could find
at that point because
it had been so long now until he'd been found.
[Joseph] How did he get in the middle of this river
Was he drunk?
Did he have a heart attack and die
and fell in the river?
What happened to him?
There's a long list.
[Ben] At that point, we made arrangements
to respond down to Cowlitz County Coroner's Office.
And that's when I attended the autopsy.
[Lorenzo] From drifting down the river
he's gonna have some injurie
He was hung up on rocks,
so, yeah, he's gonna have some scrapes and scratches.
But when that silt is removed with a hose,
it became rather obvious
how he got in that river.
He's got two large caliper gunshot wounds.
That'll do it.
At that point, we realized that the body
was likely dumped in the river.
That this was not just a death investigation,
but a homicide investigation.
[Joseph] People don't understand
that bodies are very difficu to dispose of
and it'll just float away.
It'll go to Mexico. It'll go to Japan.
We gotta get rid of this body.
We gotta get rid of it right now.
Emotion takes over judgement
in those circumstances.
In Clark's body, the doctor did find a bullet.
[Lorenzo] We measured and weighed the round.
I was able to identify it as a .45 caliber round.
The significance of the .45 caliber round
being removed from Clark
was that if we were able to later develop a suspect,
we know that we're looking for a .45 caliber gun
associated with that suspect
[Joseph] So this is the wors possible turnout
of a missing person's case.
Not only deceased, not only dead,
but murdered.
You have to tell his family
Mr. Calquhoun has had his life taken.
[indistinct chatter]
[Katrina] At my dad's core,
he was a good, caring, loving person.
Wow.
[Katrina] And he was amazin when I was little.
But, because of my dad's choices,
a lot of my family had been estranged
for many years.
[Michael] My dad had been through some ups and downs,
drug, alcohol related.
And as he came back,
um, I, sort of, hoped for him
to get his life back in a direction
that was more healthy for himself and for our family.
[Eric] My brother's goal
was to get closer to family
and try to reconnect with his children.
[Hannah] We made plans
for my husband and I
to take our kids to see him on New Year's Day
and Tina said that he was really, really excited.
Oh, there's no way that he would have
missed a chance to see me and his grandkids.
[Katrina] Deep down, I had always hoped
that I would have my dad back in my life.
But at the same time, it brought peace
knowing that he could be brought home
and laid to rest.
And it felt, like, we were gonna start getting answers at that point.
[indistinct chatter]
Investigations change their personality
as they proceed.
But everything emanates from a 100 acre farm
at the base of Mount Rainier.
There is Jeremy Leininger,
the son of the owners.
There's Randy. There's Clark Calquhoun's girlfriend.
There's Mr. X at the front gate.
They're on this little lazy Susan
in the middle of this table.
Who's sitting on this lazy Susan
is responsible for making Mr. Calquhoun
collect silt in the river.
Now we're investigating a homicide,
so, we would have to basically start over
and go back to the ranch.
Reinterview and talk to everybody.
With Jeremy being the last person
that had been seen with Clark,
Jeremy became a real person of interest.
He lived with his mother and father at the time.
[Joseph] Joel and Karen Cain
Jeremy's parents,
who are half-owners in the property,
live in close proximity
to where this body was discovered.
Thank you.
[Ben] We were able to identi various information
that led to probable cause to get a search warrant.
[Wayne] With Jeremy being the last person
seen with Clark,
we were really searching Jeremy's address.
It just happened to be owned by his dad.
[dog barking]
[Wayne] Jeremy was not at home at the time.
I participated in the search warrant
of Jeremy Leininger's home.
Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm Detective Gladson.
[Ben] When law enforcement arrived,
to Joel and Karen's house,
Karen was told it was regarding Clark missing.
What do you mean he's missing?
[Ben] Karen knew Clark from the ranch.
But Karen didn't know that Clark
was found with two bullet holes in him
and presumed to have been murdered.
My husband told me that he moved to California.
California?
[Joseph] Gladson's thought was,
unless California is in the middle
of the county river,
he didn't move to California.
He also wonders, why would her husband, Joel
tell her he just moved away?
Oh, well, I'm sorry to tell you,
he's not in California.
We found his body down by the river.
[Ben] You could see on her face,
her demeanor was thinking, "Well, how can that be?"
They inform her they have a search warrant
for the premises
and they're searching for a hand gun.
[Lorenzo] Step aside, please, Ma'am.
[Wayne] At the time they were executing the search warrant,
they hear Karen, his wife, call Joel and say,
"Your buddies from Thurston County are here."
She's obviously was not happy for us being there.
[car engine revving]
[tires skid]
[Joel] Get your ass off my property!
[officer] Please calm down, Sir.
[Lorenzo] While I was searching
the inside of the Leininger home,
I heard a loud commotion and somebody screaming,
uh, out towards the driveway.
What the hell's going on here?
[radio chatter]
You're trespassing!
Joel comes rolling in to his property.
And here is Joel
going out of his mind,
ordering the police out of his home.
They have no right.
Get your ass off my property!
-Wait right there. -[Joel] You got no right to be here.
When I detective went over
and explained to him that we had a search warrant
for the property,
he got very angry.
You wonder, why would somebody do that?
What are you afraid we're going to find
in this house?
[Joel] Get the hell away from here.
The deputy grabbed a hold of Joel Leininger's wrist,
try and detain him and the struggle ensued.
[officer] Drop that.
[Joel] Hey, get the hell away from here.
Don't touch me.
[Joseph] People believe they know their rights.
I will assure you that no one knows their rights,
unless they went to law school.
[Lorenzo] Sir, I'm placing you under arrest
-for obstruction of justice. -[Joel] Like hell.
[Joseph] A search warrant's been issued for the premise
It is the order of the court
It doesn't matter what you think or what you believe.
It takes five deputies to control him
and put him in a police car
[Lorenzo] After Joel Leining was detained,
we continued with the search of his residence.
[radio chatter]
If you have somebody that's cooperating
with a search warrant,
well they don't have anything to hide.
But generally, folks that are worried,
are the ones that react negatively
when law enforcement's present at their home.
[officer] Hey, detective. Come check this out.
[Lorenzo] We searched and found an empty holster
that had a magazine with it
That magazine contained .45 caliber ammunition,
consistent with the .45 caliber round
that was removed from Clark Calquhoun.
[Joseph] So, what was in that holster
is most likely the murder weapon.
They ask the wife, Karen,
"Who's bedroom is this?"
assuming she's gonna say it's Jeremy's bedroom.
-[Lorenzo] Who's room is this? -Joel's.
This is Joel's room?
Yeah, we don't sleep together.
That raises an eyebrow. So, this is Joel's bedroom. And there's his empty holster.
And now we have Joel outsid the house going absolutely out of his mind
as they're searching the place.
That, kind of, raises flags where, now are we looking at
Joel as the person that killed Clark?
It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to decide that there's something here.
[Joseph] So, they bring Joel in to their sheriff's department,
because he's in custody and he has calmed down to some degree.
[Joel] This is a complete waste of time.
I don't even know why you have me down here.
Gladson explains that they have found Mr. Calquhoun, he's a victim of a homicide.
Well, the problem...
is Clark Calquhoun was shot with a .45.
[Ben] Here we got a summer type holster
inside his residence that he would have access to. No gun...
So how do you explain that, Joel?
I haven't seen that gun in months.
I reported it missing back in September.
[Lorenzo] We searched and found a record of Leininger
reporting his .45 caliber handgun as missing
in September of 2016.
When Joel was arrested, it was strictly
for the obstruction of justice and resisting arrest.
So we didn't have any factual information to be able to do anything
in regards to detaining or charging Joel with any crime.
All we had was what we calle "Skinny evidence."
[softly] Cut him loose.
Joel posted bail immediately for obstructing a law enforcement officer
and resisting arrest, and then was released.
[Ben] Joel could now be our primary suspect.
But all we had was a lot of circumstantial evidence.
So we still haven't identifi who killed Clark.
It can be anybody at this point.
In a murder case, you're investigating total darkness.
You're punching in the dark.
You want somebody to say "Ouch."
And if somebody says "Ouch,"
then you shot a life.
So as you learn
more about the dynamics and more about their personalities,
then you go back and re-interview people from a different perspective.
Elkins decides to re-intervi Randy,
the friend who was in the car when Clark and Inman
and Randy were gonna go shopping.
Hey, Randy.
Hey! What can I do for you?
This time, Elkins is armed with more facts.
You happen to remember anything strange
leading up to the days before Clark's disappearance?
[Randy] Well...
Now that you mention it, uh...
Yeah, the other night--
How 'bout that? [chuckles]
Randy shared, uh, before Clark went missing,
he was with Jeremy and a friend of his
identified as Tyler.
[Joseph] Randy goes on to report
that Tyler was talking abou burying dead cows on the property.
Ranchers find a place where they can just dig a hole and drop their cow in.
Then...
I don't know. Tyler kinda got a little weird.
I remember Tyler saying...
You could probably bury a body out there, too.
Nobody would ever know.
[Joseph] Well, that's a pret interesting conversation two days before
Mr. Calquhoun goes missing and lands up murdered.
Now, he wasn't in a grave, but dead, he was.
He actually said those words?
Yes, sir.
We're wondering now, maybe Tyler had some direct
involvement in regards to the murder of Clark.
So Elkins has to talk to Tyler Frasier.
What about this conversation you had at this party?
What we're trying to do, Tyler, is find out
exactly what happened to Clark Calquhoun.
We interviewed Tyler at his residence.
I don't know what happened to the dude.
-But you work with him on a ranch. -Yeah.
Sometimes.
He indicated he did know Clark, that he was friends with Jeremy.
And that he would occasionally work on the property in Reinier,
but denied any involvement or any knowledge of what we were talking about.
[Joseph] Tyler says he was with his girlfriend and never left his place
the day that Calquhoun went missing.
You don't recall having a conversation with Jeremy
about burying a body on the ranch?
What?
That wasn't me.
He indicated that the conversations were between Randy and Jeremy.
You know...
You could probably bury a body out there, too.
And nobody'd ever know.
-You're crazy, man. -[Randy chuckles]
[Ben] Tyler says some map was brought out
and they were actually comparing locations
on that property where something could be buried.
So, Elkins after talking to Frasier,
realizes that Randy lied to him. Directly and thoughtfully lied.
That he was having a conversation about burying dead things
and not Mr. Frasier.
So when someone does that,
it makes you think as an investigator that they are trying to hide something.
[Joseph] In fact, lying is always a bad thing
Why would you lie to me?
What else are you lying to me about?
[Clark exclaims]
[Joseph] Clark Calquhoun ha plans with his daughter and her children,
his grandchildren.
These children were very close to him, he was very close to them.
He's trying the best he can to live his life.
And someone decides to take it.
I'm afraid that's against the law.
Elkins is preparing to summo Randy for another interview
when Randy shows up in his office.
When it comes to murder, best friends are meaningless.
I'm a little surprised you wanted to see me, Randy.
Yeah... Well, I got something I gotta get off my chest.
Oh?
Elkins likes it when somebody has to get something off their chest.
I always did as well.
Guilt is a terrible thing.
For the police, an extremely useful thing.
Um, I told you that Clark and Jeremy,
they didn't have any problems with each other.
Well...
Um, that wasn't entirely true.
[Joseph] Randy directly and specifically lied to Elkins
because he was afraid he'd lose his job,
he'd lose what little life he had,
if he ratted the owner's son.
[Ben] Randy shared with us that Jeremy
flat-out did not like,
possibly hated Clark for many reasons.
Jeremy pretty much felt tha
Clark was taking advantage of his uncle.
And that he was basically living on the property for free,
not having to pay for anything.
Toss the smoke and help us out, okay?
-All right. -Do something.
[Joseph] Jeremy was convince
that Clark was a freeloader lazy,
Clark refused to work around the ranch
on and on and on.
[Ben] Randy emphasized that
this negative relationship between the both of them
had been going on for quite a while.
And right before Clark went missing,
Jeremy, he just going on and on about how Clark stole money from him.
[Joseph] He goes on to say that Jeremy was more than angry,
Jeremy was wild about the missing money from his truck.
[yells] Son of a bitch!
Jeremy was convinced that Clark is the one who stole it.
Did he?
Man, I don't know.
We never did identify for sure if Clark stole any money from Jeremy.
Jeremy is convincing himself of all the reasons why
Clark should not be permitted to live on this planet.
Most of which are invented.
-[dog barks distantly] -[police radio chatter]
[knocking at door]
I have a few questions to Jeremy.
[Ben] Once Randy shared this with us,
we tried to talk to Jeremy another time,
he declined to provide any statements,
and requested a lawyer. So, we couldn't ask him any more questions.
People run from the police, they climb, they're like animals.
Where you going? Stairway to Heaven is a son.
There is no escape.
[Ben] We had all circumstantial evidence
The problem is, is that may not be enough to
establish probable cause to arrest,
and get a conviction. We needed something concrete.
Shortly thereafter,
Detective Gladson had phoned me
and indicated that two people had come forth
and had some information about the involvement of Jeremy.
The two people were tenants of Joel Leininger.
They lived on the same property.
And they were friends with Jeremy Leininger.
We decided to split 'em up
and Detective Gladson interviewed the male witness.
And I interviewed a female witness.
[Joseph] A direct confessio to murder.
Secrets don't stay secrets.
People suffer from diarrhea of the mouth.
They always have and they always will.
[Ben] And it's getting exciting, 'cause now you got witnesses
that Jeremy conversed with and told 'em
that he killed Clark.
[Joseph] Is it enough to arrest him?
Not really.
But Elkins has another card up his sleeve.
He gets a warrant for Jeremy's cell phone records.
[Wayne] Big brother is real
Your phone is never off. And so,
if you keep your phone on, yeah, we'll find ya.
It's that simple.
Elkins gets telephone records and what does he discover?
Jeremy's phone moves between all the points required.
To include, the ranch,
and the site where the body is dumped.
[Ben] Also, we were able to ping the towers.
and one of the things that the ping showed was that
Jeremy stopped at a friend's house
and that friend was identifi as John Perry.
[Lorenzo] He's at John's hou for approximately 20 minute
before the two head back nor
to the Reinier property.
I say both of them, because their phone records mirrored each other.
Both phones are together.
And go exactly to the ranch
And then are found going ou Rose Valley
which is out towards the riv in Cowlitz County.
Yeah, they probably should leave their phone at home.
Unfortunately, most criminals aren't very swift.
So now we were looking at John Perry as the co-conspirator at minimal.
[Joseph] Elkins needs to pu Jeremy over his head.
And the way to do that is to talk to Mr. Perry.
Mr. Perry is gonna have some information
that's going to crucify Jeremy.
Elkins has the same group of players he's had from the beginning.
But it's finally starting to straighten out.
Jeremy Leininger is most likely the person responsible.
He might have had a helper, and his name is John Perry.
John Perry was the last piece that we needed
because, you know, everything else was hearsay
and circumstantial.
And John Perry, he was there
[indistinct radio chatter]
[knocking at door]
I located John at an apartment complex in Longview, Washington.
Mr. Perry, I'm here to speak with you about Jeremy Leininger
and the murder of Clark Calquhoun.
Yeah?
Perry initially says, "I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know anything about that."
All right. Let's come out here, we're gonna take you in for questioning.
[Ben] He denied a lot of things.
But we had enough to arrest him
for that crime as being a co-conspirator of a homicide.
[Lorenzo] He was booked in the Thurston County jail.
Locked $250,000 of bail.
He knew he was facing significant time.
And Mr. Perry says, "Let me tell you what I know."
Please do.
And that was when the case blew open.
He had indicated exactly what his involvement was.
And what transpired.
At some point in time,
Jeremy was fed up, he was done with Clark.
[Joseph] Jeremy is the perso with the smallest motive in the world.
He doesn't like Clark,
that turns into hating Clark,
that turns into overwhelming desire to kill him.
So what does Jeremy do? He needs the means to get rid of Clark.
Well, his dad's got the means.
A .45 automatic.
And eventually, he gets enough nerve to use it.
Hey, Clark.
Yeah?
There's a hole in the fence over in the northeast side of the ranch.
Think I could a little hand in fixing it, please?
[Clark] Sure thing, Jeremy.
Clark Calquhoun walks into a death trap without knowing.
[Jeremy] Thanks for your help, Clark.
Wanna come smoke some weed with my buddy John and I real quick?
-Yeah, I'm always down for that. -Hop in.
[Ben] They picked up John Perry
and they had marijuana in the truck.
They went back to their property on Reinier Road.
And something happened.
So, Clark...
I'm missing some money, you take it?
Not this again.
[gunshots]
And when he turned, Clark was on the ground.
And Jeremy was holding a gun.
[John] What did you do?
[Jeremy] Help me pick this guy up, will ya?
[John] No, no!
[Wayne] So, he drug the bod to an area of the farm
where they had a backhoe
that he was able to lift Clark's body and buck it off the backhoe
and then deposit it in the back of his truck.
[Ben] They went southbound on I-5.
They proceeded down to our Coweeman River.
[Joseph] Jeremy believes no one will ever know what happened to Clark.
Oh, I don't think so.
Jeremy told people he melted the gun down. We never found the weapon.
No blisters, none of that.
But we have the statement of a helper.
We have all the other circumstances to go with it.
All this information was more than enough to establish a probable cause,
where the prosecutor agreed, "Yes."
We now have probable cause to arrest Jeremy.
He was arrested in Cowlitz County.
He was transported to Thurston County where he wa booked in our jail.
And at no time did he co-operate with law enforcement.
[Joseph] The result of that is that he is convicted for the crime of murder.
And received a sentence of 18 years
in the Washington State Penitentiary for his crime.
John Perry pleads guilty
and is sentenced to 12 month in prison.
As far as a lot of the details and how my brother was
murdered...
I really tried to distance myself from a lot of that,
because at that point,
there's nothing I can do to change what had happened.
My brother's not coming back.
[Hannah] Nobody deserves to die that way.
My dad...
He was just kind and gentle, and...
a teddy bear.
[Katrina] I know my Dad's in heaven.
And I know he's watching me and my kids.
And I know he knows that I love him deeply.
But I wish I would have had the opportunity to tell him that,
at one point in my life.
[Michael] I do wish I could convey to my father where we are now as a family.
That, we're okay, that through this tragedy,
uh, we've been made stronger.
I'm incredibly grateful for Detective Elkins
and the personal attention that he gave to our family.
[Ben] Nobody wants to have a family member murdered.
But to have someone held accountable,
it's nice, because they're able to have closure.
So, it was rewarding for me as a detective.
Because I truly believe Jeremy was evil.
Elkins stood in Calquhoun's shoes, because he couldn't anymore.
He became his voice.
Like all homicide detective
all over this country, every day.
There was a poem written once about it.
It says, "I have been where you fear to be.
I have gone where you fear to go.
I have seen things you don't wish to see.
All these things I've done for you."
