[door opens]
4
00:00:06,867 --> 00:00:09,266
Someone is screaming
and pleading for help.
5
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:12,900
We find a male subject
in a pool of blood.
6
00:00:12,967 --> 00:00:14,367
The victim
had been shot twice.
7
00:00:14,367 --> 00:00:15,767
[gunshots]
8
00:00:15,767 --> 00:00:16,667
There's evidence of torture.
9
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:18,500
[woman] What happened here?
10
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,467
A video was located.
11
00:00:21,467 --> 00:00:22,567
[man screaming]
12
00:00:22,567 --> 00:00:25,967
One of the most chilling
videos I've ever seen.
13
00:00:27,967 --> 00:00:29,300
He had a new boyfriend.
14
00:00:29,367 --> 00:00:31,467
He's askin' for an attorney
right off the bat.
15
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,000
Blood is identified
16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,467
on the steering wheel
of the vehicle.
17
00:00:36,467 --> 00:00:39,266
[woman] We're fighting
very hard, day in and day out,
18
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:42,100
to try to chase every lead
we possibly can.
19
00:00:42,166 --> 00:00:45,000
What else can we look at?
Who else can we talk to?
20
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,400
We have to find the killer.
21
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:48,600
[gun fires]
22
00:00:48,667 --> 00:00:50,467
[Tish] Everyday
in North America,
23
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:53,066
dozens of people are murdered.
24
00:00:53,066 --> 00:00:55,467
The key to solving the
toughest of these homicides,
25
00:00:55,467 --> 00:00:59,567
lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim's life.
26
00:00:59,567 --> 00:01:02,767
To crack the case,
detectives must reconstruct
27
00:01:02,767 --> 00:01:05,066
that critical timeline.
28
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:07,667
The minutes and hours
containing evidence
29
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:09,266
that can help
unlock the mystery,
30
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:11,066
and catch the killer.
31
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:20,700
[upbeat music playing]
32
00:01:20,767 --> 00:01:22,467
St. Petersburg, Florida,
33
00:01:22,467 --> 00:01:25,000
in the heart
of Florida's west coast.
34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,867
Nicknamed "The Sunshine City,"
35
00:01:26,867 --> 00:01:27,967
it's a popular hub
36
00:01:27,967 --> 00:01:29,867
for retirees
and vacationers alike.
37
00:01:31,367 --> 00:01:34,100
[Ed] St. Pete
is a wonderful city.
38
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:39,066
Very modern, uh, restaurants,
shops, cultural things to do.
39
00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:43,667
Very diverse population,
and a very nice place to live,
40
00:01:43,667 --> 00:01:45,066
to raise a family.
41
00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:49,667
[Tish] But in 2011,
42
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:51,467
just four days
before Christmas,
43
00:01:51,467 --> 00:01:53,367
the peaceful paradise
is shaken
44
00:01:53,367 --> 00:01:55,567
by a terrifying 9-1-1 call.
45
00:01:55,567 --> 00:01:57,100
[call ringing]
46
00:02:02,166 --> 00:02:03,967
-[intense music playing]
-It appears to be
a male caller
47
00:02:03,967 --> 00:02:05,367
screaming for help.
48
00:02:05,367 --> 00:02:06,433
Terrified.
49
00:02:06,467 --> 00:02:08,400
The thing that stands out
about that phone call is
50
00:02:08,467 --> 00:02:10,967
just the dread
that was in the call.
51
00:02:14,867 --> 00:02:17,200
We don't get 9-1-1 calls
like this everyday.
52
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:19,867
Dispatchers were
frantically asking
53
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:21,667
"Who are you?
Where are you located?"
54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,867
[Tish] But before they can get
the man's name or address...
55
00:02:29,867 --> 00:02:32,000
[dial tone sounds]
56
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:34,667
...the line
suddenly goes dead.
57
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,266
[Amy] We had no idea
where he was located.
58
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:40,100
[siren wailing]
59
00:02:40,166 --> 00:02:41,500
So, time is of the essence,
60
00:02:41,567 --> 00:02:43,100
and that's
where we have to act
61
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,300
and we have to act fast.
62
00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:48,066
[Tish] Deputies trace the call
63
00:02:48,066 --> 00:02:51,000
to a neighborhood
in Pinellas County.
64
00:02:51,066 --> 00:02:54,367
But they're unable to pinpoint
the exact address.
65
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:57,667
[Amy] We know that the call
is coming from a cellphone.
66
00:02:57,667 --> 00:03:00,400
We are frantically trying
to figure out,
67
00:03:00,467 --> 00:03:02,900
"Where do we have to go?
How can we help this person?"
68
00:03:02,967 --> 00:03:04,400
And, "Where are they?"
69
00:03:04,467 --> 00:03:06,166
It's like
a needle in a haystack.
70
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:10,500
[Tish] But
just after 11:00 a.m.
71
00:03:10,567 --> 00:03:12,767
they get a tip that might
save the man's life.
72
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,800
Within a couple of hours
of the first 9-1-1 call,
73
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:18,767
we received
a second phone call
74
00:03:18,767 --> 00:03:20,667
from a woman
by the name of Yadira Guzman.
75
00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:24,467
She's out of state
on vacation, visiting family.
76
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:28,467
Yadira's asking for us to
check on her roommate,
77
00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:30,500
who she believes
might be in danger.
78
00:03:30,567 --> 00:03:33,000
[dramatic music playing]
79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,467
So she provides us an address,
80
00:03:35,467 --> 00:03:38,767
in the very same area
of the 9-1-1 call.
81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,500
[Ed] When the deputies arrive,
they knock on the front door
82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,166
and receive no response.
83
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:48,767
So the deputies then
84
00:03:48,767 --> 00:03:50,467
check the perimeter
of the residence.
85
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,467
When they come upon
a side rear door,
86
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:55,767
uh, and window.
87
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:58,400
Uh, they notice the glass
is broken on the window,
88
00:03:58,467 --> 00:04:01,567
and the backdoor
is slightly ajar.
89
00:04:01,567 --> 00:04:03,867
Which, all is indicative of,
90
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:05,667
something is definitely
not right here.
91
00:04:06,767 --> 00:04:08,867
[Tish] It's a potentially
dangerous situation
92
00:04:08,867 --> 00:04:10,800
for deputies at the scene.
93
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:12,667
[Amy] Deputies draw their guns
and announce,
94
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:14,700
"Sheriff's office!
Sheriff's office!
95
00:04:14,767 --> 00:04:15,767
Is anybody there?"
96
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:19,667
And they don't hear anything.
97
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:24,266
As deputies make their way
slowly through the home,
98
00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:26,166
they walk by this bathroom
99
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:28,367
and something definitely
catches their attention.
100
00:04:30,667 --> 00:04:33,100
There are signs of blood
all over the place.
101
00:04:34,367 --> 00:04:36,567
[Tish] But there's no sign
of any victim.
102
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:38,867
They follow a trail of blood
down the hallway.
103
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,600
[Amy] The deputies see
that there is a door open,
104
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:51,367
and they find a male subject
laying in a pool of blood.
105
00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:55,367
They check for a pulse
or any sign of life.
106
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:57,767
There's none.
107
00:05:01,767 --> 00:05:03,000
[Tish] The victim
is identified
108
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200
as 21 year old,
Landy Martinez.
109
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:09,266
We learned that Landy Martinez
is a Cuban immigrant
110
00:05:09,266 --> 00:05:11,967
who moved to America
with his family.
111
00:05:11,967 --> 00:05:14,567
Landy didn't have much
as a kid.
112
00:05:14,567 --> 00:05:17,867
So when he moved to America,
this was like,
113
00:05:17,867 --> 00:05:19,600
the best country in the world
to him,
114
00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:22,767
and appeared to be
a very good person.
115
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:27,900
[Tish] Detectives Ed Judy
and Amy Plourde
116
00:05:27,967 --> 00:05:29,166
are assigned to the case.
117
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:32,567
[Ed] Detective Plourde,
she's just a go-getter.
118
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:34,400
She's very smart,
very good detective.
119
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:37,100
Ed Judy is one of my mentors.
120
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:39,300
He shaped me
as a police officer,
121
00:05:39,367 --> 00:05:41,166
and as a homicide detective.
122
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:43,500
And we're feeling this case.
123
00:05:44,367 --> 00:05:46,800
We have
a 21-year-old young man,
124
00:05:46,867 --> 00:05:49,100
who had good relationships.
125
00:05:49,166 --> 00:05:51,400
He had a good home
with good friendships.
126
00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:53,500
So we wanna solve this case.
127
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:57,100
Landy's body is found
128
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,266
slightly in
a open closet door.
129
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,166
[Amy] He's wearing
a white T-shirt and underwear,
130
00:06:03,166 --> 00:06:04,467
and nothing else.
131
00:06:04,467 --> 00:06:09,166
And the body of the victim
is completely soaking wet.
132
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:11,166
It's almost like he'd just
come out of a swimming pool.
133
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:14,800
[Amy] And right near
Landy's body,
134
00:06:14,867 --> 00:06:18,200
are two shell casings
of .380 caliber.
135
00:06:18,266 --> 00:06:19,667
The victim had been
shot twice.
136
00:06:20,767 --> 00:06:21,700
[Amy] One in the chest,
137
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,500
and one
in the back of the head,
138
00:06:23,567 --> 00:06:24,900
just behind the left ear.
139
00:06:27,567 --> 00:06:30,000
[Ed] The medical examiner
is able to tell us
140
00:06:30,066 --> 00:06:31,200
uh, very early on,
141
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,166
that the cause of death
was gunshot wounds,
142
00:06:33,166 --> 00:06:35,367
and that the manner of death
would be homicide.
143
00:06:36,367 --> 00:06:37,767
[Tish] The question now is
144
00:06:37,767 --> 00:06:40,367
"Why was this
young man killed?"
145
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:42,667
Detectives look to
the crime scene for answers.
146
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:45,700
[Amy] One of the things
we find on scene
147
00:06:45,767 --> 00:06:48,066
is multiple pieces
of duct tape
148
00:06:48,066 --> 00:06:50,100
where Landy's body is located.
149
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,767
[Ed] And on his ankles,
you can see tape residue,
150
00:06:54,767 --> 00:06:56,467
and then
there were tape residue
151
00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:57,700
on both of his wrists.
152
00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:01,166
[Tish] This evidence suggests
that Landy was bound
153
00:07:01,166 --> 00:07:02,300
before he was murdered.
154
00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:05,100
But when and where?
155
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,567
[Amy] We're taking a look
at the bathroom.
156
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:11,867
We found multiple things
in here
157
00:07:11,867 --> 00:07:14,867
that definitely made us
raise our eyebrows.
158
00:07:16,467 --> 00:07:18,200
We've got a knife
on the counter.
159
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,500
There's towels
with blood on them
160
00:07:23,567 --> 00:07:25,367
on top of the toilet.
161
00:07:25,367 --> 00:07:26,700
They noticed that
there's some duct tape
162
00:07:26,767 --> 00:07:27,767
in the bathroom.
163
00:07:29,266 --> 00:07:33,667
And we located one cloth
gardening-type glove
164
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:35,600
stuffed into
the shape of a ball.
165
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:37,900
But there was only one glove.
166
00:07:37,967 --> 00:07:41,567
[Rob] Also inside the sink
is a bottle of drain cleaner,
167
00:07:41,567 --> 00:07:43,367
that's sitting in the sink
upside down.
168
00:07:43,367 --> 00:07:45,000
And we see that,
169
00:07:45,066 --> 00:07:47,967
the shower doors
are completely askew.
170
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:49,367
They're off-track.
171
00:07:49,367 --> 00:07:50,767
They're not
where they should be.
172
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:53,400
That's definitely indicative
173
00:07:53,467 --> 00:07:56,100
of a potential struggle that
occurred in this location.
174
00:07:56,967 --> 00:07:58,900
So, what happened here?
175
00:07:58,967 --> 00:08:00,433
What occurred in here?
176
00:08:02,367 --> 00:08:05,000
[Tish] To find out, detectives
will need to piece together
177
00:08:05,066 --> 00:08:07,800
the last 24 hours
of Landy Martinez's life.
178
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,767
They start with
his landlord, Carlos.
179
00:08:11,767 --> 00:08:15,166
Carlos provides us a
very key piece of information,
180
00:08:15,166 --> 00:08:17,166
telling us that,
the night before,
181
00:08:17,166 --> 00:08:18,467
on December 20,
182
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:20,900
Landy gets home from work,
183
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:23,166
sometime around 11:30 p.m.
184
00:08:24,467 --> 00:08:27,467
Carlos tells us that
he talked to Landy that night
185
00:08:27,467 --> 00:08:29,100
after work when he got home,
186
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,467
and that everything
appeared to be great.
187
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:35,266
[Ed] And the day
of the homicide.
188
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:38,000
Carlos tells us
that he left for work
189
00:08:38,066 --> 00:08:40,200
at approximately 0600 hours
on this day.
190
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,166
That Landy was
at the residence, uh,
191
00:08:43,166 --> 00:08:44,900
sleeping in his bedroom.
192
00:08:44,967 --> 00:08:46,100
[Tish] This tells detectives
193
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,867
that on the morning
of the murder,
194
00:08:47,867 --> 00:08:50,467
Landy was possibly surprised
by an intruder.
195
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,467
[Amy] There's actually
a broken window
196
00:08:53,467 --> 00:08:54,667
right next to the door.
197
00:08:55,567 --> 00:08:57,467
There's obvious signs
198
00:08:57,467 --> 00:09:01,667
that there is damage
to a door that is ajar.
199
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:03,266
[Ed] It has signs
of pry marks,
200
00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:06,767
as if forced entry was used
to get into the house.
201
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:09,800
[Tish] Detectives suspect
that the intruder
202
00:09:09,867 --> 00:09:12,066
may have found Landy
still in bed
203
00:09:12,066 --> 00:09:14,667
and overpowered him.
204
00:09:14,667 --> 00:09:17,166
[Amy] And a struggle occurred
between him and the killer.
205
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:21,867
And Landy was bound
by duct tape
206
00:09:21,867 --> 00:09:24,266
via his wrists and his ankles.
207
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,667
[Tish] And it's likely,
Landy's killer then
208
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,400
forced him into the shower,
209
00:09:29,467 --> 00:09:31,000
damaging the door
in the process,
210
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,266
and drenched him.
211
00:09:33,567 --> 00:09:35,066
That's where
the water came from.
212
00:09:35,066 --> 00:09:36,900
That's how he got so wet
from the shower.
213
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,467
[Amy] And we're thinking,
214
00:09:40,467 --> 00:09:43,767
he escaped to go
to that back bedroom,
215
00:09:43,767 --> 00:09:45,767
possibly to make
that 9-1-1 call.
216
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,667
[Tish] Investigators suspect
that Landy ended the call
217
00:09:50,667 --> 00:09:52,200
when the killer
caught up to him.
218
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:56,767
[Amy] And he was shot twice...
219
00:09:56,767 --> 00:09:59,800
[gunshots]
220
00:09:59,867 --> 00:10:02,567
...with a
.380 caliber handgun.
221
00:10:02,567 --> 00:10:04,867
[Tish] But there's one thing
that puzzles detectives.
222
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:07,000
Where is his phone?
223
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:09,266
Uh, if he called 9-1-1,
where is his phone at?
224
00:10:10,266 --> 00:10:11,867
Did the killer
take it with him?
225
00:10:11,867 --> 00:10:13,000
Is it somewhere hidden?
226
00:10:13,066 --> 00:10:14,567
We're looking
all over the place.
227
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,166
And, lo and behold!
228
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:19,867
We actually
locate his cellphone
229
00:10:19,867 --> 00:10:22,266
in between the mattress
and box-spring of the bed,
230
00:10:23,367 --> 00:10:25,667
just feet away
from Landy's body.
231
00:10:26,567 --> 00:10:27,867
But the phone is locked.
232
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,700
And so, we don't know
if that phone might
233
00:10:30,767 --> 00:10:32,100
potentially belong
to the victim
234
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:33,767
or potentially a suspect.
235
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:36,500
[Amy] It's
extremely frustrating.
236
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:38,800
Everything in our gut
is telling us
237
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:40,467
that there's something
on this phone,
238
00:10:40,467 --> 00:10:42,367
and we need to know
what it is.
239
00:10:42,367 --> 00:10:44,567
[Tish] While forensic
technicians attempt to unlock
240
00:10:44,567 --> 00:10:45,867
the contents of the phone,
241
00:10:46,867 --> 00:10:48,400
detectives broaden
their search
242
00:10:48,467 --> 00:10:50,667
to other rooms
in Landy's house.
243
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:51,800
-[dramatic music playing]
-In the living room,
244
00:10:51,867 --> 00:10:53,567
something odd
catches their eye.
245
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:55,567
[camera shutter clicks]
246
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,867
[Ed] There's a pool table.
And on that pool table,
247
00:10:57,867 --> 00:11:01,100
is a large 65-inch
flatscreen TV,
248
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:03,066
resting diagonally
249
00:11:03,066 --> 00:11:06,166
like it had been unscrewed
and taken off the wall.
250
00:11:08,967 --> 00:11:10,800
[Tish] They discover
it's not the only thing
251
00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:12,000
that's out of place.
252
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,900
We see evidence on scene,
253
00:11:14,967 --> 00:11:18,266
of bags packed with
electronic equipment.
254
00:11:18,266 --> 00:11:22,000
Various things that
could be pawned for money.
255
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,600
There's also money found.
256
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:27,600
[Tish] This evidence
leaves detectives wondering.
257
00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:29,567
"Was Landy Martinez's murder
258
00:11:29,567 --> 00:11:31,567
the result of
a bungled burglary?"
259
00:11:33,667 --> 00:11:36,700
Instead of an intruder
surprising Landy in bed,
260
00:11:36,767 --> 00:11:39,166
maybe Landy woke up
and surprised the intruder.
261
00:11:40,266 --> 00:11:41,967
[Ed] Sometimes burglars are
262
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:43,867
interrupted in
the middle of the burglary,
263
00:11:43,867 --> 00:11:45,567
which can lead to a violence.
264
00:11:46,767 --> 00:11:48,700
[Amy] So we're
trying to find out,
265
00:11:48,767 --> 00:11:52,166
do we have a burglar
who may have hit this house?
266
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:54,533
[Tish] If that's true,
267
00:11:54,533 --> 00:11:57,967
detectives suspect there
may be potential witnesses.
268
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:00,467
[Amy] We need to have
detectives go door-to-door,
269
00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:02,667
and make contact with people
to find out,
270
00:12:02,667 --> 00:12:04,667
"Has anything odd
occurred today?"
271
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:06,767
"Have you seen anything?
Have you heard anything?"
272
00:12:08,567 --> 00:12:11,300
[Ed] Several neighbors
have reported two individuals
273
00:12:11,367 --> 00:12:15,367
who were going door-to-door
soliciting magazine sales.
274
00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:17,367
They were both
described as Hispanic.
275
00:12:17,367 --> 00:12:20,166
In their late-teens,
early-twenties.
276
00:12:20,166 --> 00:12:22,367
[Rob] Both individuals
were seen leaving the area
277
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,066
at a hurried pace,
278
00:12:24,066 --> 00:12:25,500
headed eastbound
down the street
279
00:12:25,567 --> 00:12:26,600
where this happened.
280
00:12:27,667 --> 00:12:29,800
[Amy] And it was
at the same time that
281
00:12:29,867 --> 00:12:31,767
we received the 9-1-1 calls,
282
00:12:31,767 --> 00:12:33,066
around ten in the morning.
283
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:34,567
[call ringing]
284
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:42,300
[Tish] It's a promising lead,
285
00:12:42,367 --> 00:12:44,166
but it raises
an important question.
286
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,233
[Amy] That leads us to think
287
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,400
that we may be looking
for more than one killer.
288
00:12:50,667 --> 00:12:52,367
[suspenseful music playing]
289
00:12:52,367 --> 00:12:55,467
So, did these
magazine sales kids
290
00:12:55,467 --> 00:12:57,166
have something to do
with Landy's murder?
291
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,400
[gunshot]
292
00:12:59,367 --> 00:13:02,066
-We need to find these kids.
-[gunshot]
293
00:13:05,266 --> 00:13:08,367
-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Tish] Detectives suspect
the murder of Landy Martinez,
294
00:13:08,367 --> 00:13:11,600
may have been due to
a bungled burglary.
295
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:13,867
-They believe two young
magazine salesmen...
-[gunshot]
296
00:13:13,867 --> 00:13:15,100
...may be responsible.
297
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:16,667
[gunshot]
298
00:13:16,667 --> 00:13:18,400
[Michael] On the day
of the homicide,
299
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,800
-several of the neighbors
reported, uh, two young males
-[knocking at door]
300
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:24,100
going door to door,
attempting to sell magazines.
301
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:27,367
The neighbors thought that
that was somewhat suspicious.
302
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:30,066
We don't know whether these
are people just checking
303
00:13:30,066 --> 00:13:31,600
to see if someone is home,
304
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:34,000
or maybe burglarize homes.
305
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,100
But we were lucky
to develop a lead
306
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:39,166
with one of the witnesses,
307
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:41,467
who had obtained a card
308
00:13:41,467 --> 00:13:44,166
with the information
of the company.
309
00:13:44,166 --> 00:13:46,300
[Tish] Detectives reach out
to the sales company,
310
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:47,867
to confirm
if they had assigned
311
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:49,800
two young men
to Landy's neighborhood.
312
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:53,667
They said their business model
involved employing
313
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:56,100
high school
and college students
314
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,900
to solicit magazine sales.
315
00:13:58,567 --> 00:14:00,567
[Amy] And we find out that
316
00:14:00,567 --> 00:14:03,367
they did dispatch
two young adults
317
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:05,867
in the vicinity
at the time of the murder,
318
00:14:05,867 --> 00:14:09,967
to try to sell magazines
to various residences.
319
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:12,200
They were able to provide us
with the names
320
00:14:12,266 --> 00:14:14,767
of the individuals that
would have been in our area
321
00:14:14,767 --> 00:14:17,200
at the time, uh,
this offence occurred.
322
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:18,300
Could they be our killers?
323
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,867
[dramatic music playing]
324
00:14:20,867 --> 00:14:22,500
[Tish] Detectives
bring them in for questioning
325
00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:26,166
and interview each separately
to see if their stories match.
326
00:14:29,867 --> 00:14:31,867
It doesn't take them long
to get to the truth.
327
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:37,166
They did not have
any involvement in the murder,
328
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:40,266
and they also did not see
anything suspicious
329
00:14:40,266 --> 00:14:42,200
during this time.
330
00:14:42,266 --> 00:14:44,667
[Amy] They appeared
to be telling the truth.
331
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:47,100
And they tell us that
they were trying
332
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:48,700
to get money for college,
333
00:14:48,767 --> 00:14:50,867
so we cleared them
at the time.
334
00:14:51,767 --> 00:14:53,767
[Tish] Detectives
are left wondering
335
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:56,467
who else could have robbed
and murdered Landy Martinez?
336
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,467
They revisit
the autopsy report
337
00:14:59,467 --> 00:15:01,467
for any new details
that might lead
338
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:03,166
to the perpetrator's identity.
339
00:15:04,367 --> 00:15:08,000
[Amy] The medical examiner
found two gunshot wounds,
340
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,600
and they see that there's
other injuries to Landy.
341
00:15:12,667 --> 00:15:15,467
One is a laceration
right between his eyes.
342
00:15:15,467 --> 00:15:16,567
Near his eyebrow.
343
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:20,667
The other is bruising
and defensive wounds
344
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:22,867
in the areas of his hands,
345
00:15:22,867 --> 00:15:25,567
and forearms and wrists.
346
00:15:25,567 --> 00:15:28,000
We also found evidence
of chemical burns
347
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,166
in Landy's body,
348
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:32,700
in the areas of his eyes,
his nose and his throat.
349
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,266
[Tish] The autopsy
report reveals
350
00:15:35,266 --> 00:15:37,900
that these chemical burns were
caused by the drain cleaner
351
00:15:37,967 --> 00:15:39,200
found in Landy's bathroom.
352
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,900
We suspect
that the drain cleaner
353
00:15:43,967 --> 00:15:46,667
was used to torture Landy,
354
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:48,667
in the bathroom area
of the residence.
355
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:52,100
This was a horrible fact
to find out.
356
00:15:52,166 --> 00:15:53,400
[suspenseful music playing]
357
00:15:53,467 --> 00:15:55,867
[Tish] And it raises
a puzzling question.
358
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:58,367
Why would a burglar
torture Landy Martinez
359
00:15:58,367 --> 00:15:59,567
before killing him?
360
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:03,500
When there are
elements of torture found,
361
00:16:03,567 --> 00:16:07,066
it could speak to
an element of sadism
362
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:09,166
on the part of
the perpetrator.
363
00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:12,667
So this person may have not
wanted to just kill Landy,
364
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:14,567
he wanted Landy to suffer.
365
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:18,367
[Amy] Now
we're starting to wonder,
366
00:16:18,367 --> 00:16:21,867
maybe it wasn't a burglary
that had gone bad.
367
00:16:21,867 --> 00:16:23,367
Maybe this was planned.
368
00:16:25,266 --> 00:16:27,066
[Ed] This is
a personal attack.
369
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,266
They take him,
370
00:16:30,266 --> 00:16:34,000
secure him, restraining
the hands and the feet.
371
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:37,100
And torture him
and eventually kill him.
372
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:38,467
[gunshot]
373
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,066
This shows that
374
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,300
there's an extensive amount
of time here,
375
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,367
uh, whereas,
if it was a burglary,
376
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:46,467
they're gonna take the stuff
and they're gonna go.
377
00:16:47,266 --> 00:16:48,367
[Tish] This evidence suggests
378
00:16:48,367 --> 00:16:50,600
it's possible
Landy knew his attacker.
379
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:53,200
So, we need to dig
380
00:16:53,266 --> 00:16:55,200
and find more
about Landy's life
381
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:58,166
to find anything
of evidentiary value.
382
00:16:58,166 --> 00:17:00,100
[Tish] Detectives begin with
the person who made
383
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,266
the second 9-1-1 call,
384
00:17:02,266 --> 00:17:05,567
Landy's roommate,
Yadira Guzman.
385
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:09,667
She was very emotional,
very upset, uh, at his demise.
386
00:17:09,667 --> 00:17:12,166
[Amy] Yadira Guzman
is close friends with Landy.
387
00:17:12,166 --> 00:17:13,667
They actually met
388
00:17:13,667 --> 00:17:15,800
because they work together
in the medical industry,
389
00:17:15,867 --> 00:17:17,767
as certified
nursing assistants.
390
00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:22,166
[Tish] Yadira also shared
that Landy was openly gay.
391
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:24,867
And just before
he was murdered,
392
00:17:24,867 --> 00:17:28,300
he had started seeing a man
named Jonathan Galicia.
393
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:31,967
[Ed] Jonathan Galicia was, uh,
Landy's new love interest,
394
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:33,600
that was in
the developmental stages.
395
00:17:33,667 --> 00:17:35,900
Yadira tells detectives that
396
00:17:35,967 --> 00:17:38,800
Jonathan called her
in the morning of his murder,
397
00:17:38,867 --> 00:17:41,767
and he expressed
concern for Landy.
398
00:17:41,767 --> 00:17:46,100
Since Jonathan is a boyfriend
to Landy,
399
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:50,000
maybe he's able to provide us
with an investigative lead.
400
00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:53,900
[Tish]
Detectives call Jonathan
401
00:17:53,967 --> 00:17:55,166
to hear what he has to say.
402
00:17:55,166 --> 00:17:56,467
[phone beeping]
403
00:17:56,467 --> 00:17:59,166
And they're surprised
by his response.
404
00:17:59,166 --> 00:18:02,367
When he's initially contacted,
he does ask,
405
00:18:02,367 --> 00:18:04,467
uh, if he needs an attorney.
406
00:18:05,266 --> 00:18:07,200
This is an odd statement.
407
00:18:07,266 --> 00:18:09,467
If you've done nothing wrong,
you don't need an attorney.
408
00:18:09,467 --> 00:18:11,367
And then he's asking
for an attorney
409
00:18:11,367 --> 00:18:12,467
right off the bat.
410
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,066
So, that does set off
411
00:18:14,066 --> 00:18:16,667
an alarm bell,
uh, for investigators.
412
00:18:18,567 --> 00:18:20,200
[Tish] Jonathan
agrees to an interview
413
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:21,667
about his boyfriend's murder.
414
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:24,867
We know through
previous investigations,
415
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:28,100
that your significant other,
your paramour,
416
00:18:28,166 --> 00:18:29,867
may well be the perpetrator.
417
00:18:30,667 --> 00:18:31,700
[gunshot]
418
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,467
So, Jonathan is quite possibly
419
00:18:35,467 --> 00:18:37,000
the person
that we're looking for.
420
00:18:38,767 --> 00:18:40,700
He's emotional, upset,
421
00:18:40,767 --> 00:18:42,300
what you would expect to see
422
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:44,900
if you were told that
a loved one was deceased.
423
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:48,000
[Amy] Jonathan told us
he met Landy
424
00:18:48,066 --> 00:18:49,300
about a month before.
425
00:18:49,367 --> 00:18:51,166
They have spent
a ton of time together,
426
00:18:51,166 --> 00:18:55,767
and Jonathan is absolutely
enamored with Landy.
427
00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:57,567
[Tish] But
before Landy was killed,
428
00:18:57,567 --> 00:18:59,500
Jonathan worried
that Landy's feelings
429
00:18:59,567 --> 00:19:00,567
weren't mutual.
430
00:19:01,467 --> 00:19:03,567
[Amy] Jonathan tells us that,
431
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:07,266
he's concerned that
Landy is being deceitful,
432
00:19:07,266 --> 00:19:09,367
because he's talking
to his ex-boyfriend.
433
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,767
[Tish] A man named Jose Adame.
434
00:19:12,767 --> 00:19:15,767
[Amy] Jonathan confronts Landy
about his jealousy issues,
435
00:19:15,767 --> 00:19:17,967
over Landy
with his ex-boyfriend,
436
00:19:17,967 --> 00:19:21,367
and Landy does his best
to reassure Jonathan
437
00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:23,100
that he's in love with him.
438
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:28,967
[Ed] We learned of a three-way
phone call that occurred
439
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:31,867
the night before
Landy is murdered.
440
00:19:31,867 --> 00:19:34,567
Landy wants to
reassure Jonathan,
441
00:19:34,567 --> 00:19:37,066
that he is
not interested in Jose.
442
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:40,266
[Amy] So Landy tells him,
443
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:41,867
"I'm gonna do
a three-way phone call
444
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:43,100
with my ex-boyfriend,
445
00:19:43,166 --> 00:19:45,667
and on that phone call,
you're gonna hear
446
00:19:45,667 --> 00:19:47,800
how I don't love him anymore."
447
00:19:48,767 --> 00:19:51,066
[Tish] And at midnight,
on December 21,
448
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:53,367
just hours before his murder,
449
00:19:53,367 --> 00:19:55,266
-Landy places the three-way
phone call,
-[call ringing]
450
00:19:55,266 --> 00:19:57,967
that includes himself,
Jonathan,
451
00:19:57,967 --> 00:19:59,567
and his ex-boyfriend, Jose.
452
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,667
[Rob] And
during that phone call,
453
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:05,867
he's telling Jose,
that he found a new boyfriend,
454
00:20:05,867 --> 00:20:07,767
that he was
really happy with him,
455
00:20:07,767 --> 00:20:09,467
that he loved him
and just wanted to make sure
456
00:20:09,467 --> 00:20:11,100
that he understood that
the relationship
457
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:14,100
between he and Jose
is over with.
458
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:16,100
[Amy] Jonathan claims
459
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:19,000
that the phone call ended
on a positive note.
460
00:20:19,066 --> 00:20:21,400
[Tish] Detectives ask Jonathan
his whereabouts
461
00:20:21,467 --> 00:20:22,667
after the phone call ended.
462
00:20:23,767 --> 00:20:26,367
Jonathan tells us,
he went to bed
463
00:20:26,367 --> 00:20:28,500
because he had to work
in the middle of the night.
464
00:20:28,567 --> 00:20:31,100
His shift began somewhere
around 3:00 in the morning.
465
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,400
He went to work for
about a three to four hour
466
00:20:33,467 --> 00:20:35,100
period of time,
where he gets off work
467
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:39,467
around seven,
and as he gets off work,
468
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:41,266
he allegedly texts Landy.
469
00:20:41,266 --> 00:20:42,200
[message tone]
470
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:46,367
[Amy reading]
471
00:20:46,367 --> 00:20:49,667
[narrator] Jonathan then
reveals something surprising.
472
00:20:49,667 --> 00:20:52,100
Landy responds,
that he wants to break up.
473
00:20:52,867 --> 00:20:54,567
But he gets a text message
474
00:20:54,567 --> 00:20:57,000
back from Landy's phone saying
475
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,400
that Jose is the love
of his life,
476
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:01,800
that he wants to get back
with Jose.
477
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,300
[Amy] So here Jonathan
is wondering,
478
00:21:05,367 --> 00:21:07,000
"What is going on here?
479
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
I had a boyfriend and now
480
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,900
my relationship is over?"
481
00:21:10,967 --> 00:21:13,367
So we're now looking
at Jonathan
482
00:21:13,367 --> 00:21:15,367
and wondering,
"How jealous were you?"
483
00:21:17,166 --> 00:21:19,066
Did Jonathan murder Landy?
484
00:21:22,567 --> 00:21:24,367
[narrator] At the end of 2011,
485
00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:26,266
Pinellas, Florida
sheriff's detectives
486
00:21:26,266 --> 00:21:28,066
discovered that
Jonathan Galicia
487
00:21:28,066 --> 00:21:31,266
was jilted by his boyfriend,
Landy Martinez
488
00:21:31,266 --> 00:21:33,667
just hours before Landy
was murdered.
489
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,700
Is it possible that Jonathan
is responsible
490
00:21:36,767 --> 00:21:38,567
for the torture and homicide
of Landy?
491
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:41,767
Jonathan is definitely
a suspect in
492
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,266
this investigation.
493
00:21:43,266 --> 00:21:45,767
Jonathan is the new boyfriend,
494
00:21:45,767 --> 00:21:48,000
so most likely,
Landy is murdered
495
00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:49,266
by someone that he knows.
496
00:21:50,166 --> 00:21:51,667
[narrator] If Jonathan
did murder
497
00:21:51,667 --> 00:21:53,467
his boyfriend, Landy,
498
00:21:53,467 --> 00:21:55,867
it's also likely Landy
would have fought back
499
00:21:55,867 --> 00:21:57,066
before being killed.
500
00:21:58,166 --> 00:21:59,600
So detectives look
for evidence
501
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,767
of a struggle
on Jonathan's body,
502
00:22:01,767 --> 00:22:04,166
cuts, bruises or abrasions.
503
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:07,600
We ask him to submit
504
00:22:07,667 --> 00:22:09,967
to being photographed
and we observed
505
00:22:09,967 --> 00:22:12,800
anything that we can
on his face,
506
00:22:12,867 --> 00:22:15,467
his neck, his arms, his hands.
507
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:16,967
[Amy] He is very cooperative
508
00:22:16,967 --> 00:22:20,300
and he doesn't appear
to show any signs of injury.
509
00:22:20,367 --> 00:22:22,467
[narrator] But before
investigators rule him out
510
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:23,867
as a potential suspect,
511
00:22:23,867 --> 00:22:26,000
they need to confirm
Jonathan's alibi
512
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:28,300
at the time Landy
was murdered.
513
00:22:28,367 --> 00:22:31,100
[Detective Ed Judy]
Jonathan Galicia worked
in a warehouse
514
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,000
and we were able to obtain
515
00:22:33,066 --> 00:22:35,567
video surveillance
from that business
516
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:38,367
which showed him working
right before the murder.
517
00:22:39,266 --> 00:22:41,000
And when Jonathan
got off work,
518
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,266
he did send a text to Landy.
519
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,166
[Amy] But it doesn't tell
the whole story
520
00:22:46,166 --> 00:22:49,000
because were you
texting from the house
521
00:22:49,066 --> 00:22:51,567
where Landy was or
were you texting from home
522
00:22:51,567 --> 00:22:52,667
like you claimed to be?
523
00:22:53,567 --> 00:22:55,500
[narrator] To find out,
detectives contact
524
00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:58,166
Landy's cellphone provider.
525
00:22:58,166 --> 00:23:01,100
[Rob Snipes] The cellphone
company use cellphone towers
526
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:02,033
that will triangulate
527
00:23:02,066 --> 00:23:04,567
to the location
of that phone at the time
528
00:23:04,567 --> 00:23:07,467
these calls and text messages
were made.
529
00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:10,266
[Amy] And we confirmed
that he was
530
00:23:10,266 --> 00:23:12,667
definitely 60 miles north
at the time
531
00:23:12,667 --> 00:23:15,967
all these text messages
occurred between
this phone and Landy's.
532
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,400
[Ed] Jonathan Galicia
is at his house
533
00:23:19,467 --> 00:23:20,767
in Hernando County,
534
00:23:20,767 --> 00:23:23,166
so we know that his phone
535
00:23:23,166 --> 00:23:25,367
was not at the crime scene
536
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:27,667
at the time
this offence occurred.
537
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,567
[narrator] Jonathan Galicia
is eliminated as a suspect.
538
00:23:32,867 --> 00:23:34,700
But he does
point investigators
539
00:23:34,767 --> 00:23:36,166
in a whole new direction.
540
00:23:38,667 --> 00:23:40,567
Detectives now
turn their attention
541
00:23:40,567 --> 00:23:42,500
to Landy's other ex-boyfriend,
542
00:23:42,967 --> 00:23:45,367
Jose Adame.
543
00:23:45,367 --> 00:23:48,500
[Ed] Landy was recently
in a relationship
with Jose Adame.
544
00:23:49,367 --> 00:23:50,867
That relationship ended
545
00:23:50,867 --> 00:23:52,867
approximately a month
before the murder.
546
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:55,767
That's an excellent lead.
547
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:58,300
[narrator] To gather more
background on Jose,
548
00:23:58,367 --> 00:24:01,300
detectives start with
Landy's roommate, Yadira,
549
00:24:01,367 --> 00:24:03,867
to find out what she might
know about Jose.
550
00:24:04,667 --> 00:24:07,100
Jose is from North Carolina
551
00:24:07,166 --> 00:24:11,100
and he met Landy just over
a year before online.
552
00:24:12,266 --> 00:24:15,400
In the beginning,
they had a great relationship.
553
00:24:15,467 --> 00:24:18,367
They had fun together,
and they moved in together
554
00:24:18,367 --> 00:24:20,100
very shortly after dating,
555
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:22,100
and they appeared to be
this average,
556
00:24:22,166 --> 00:24:23,600
normal couple in love.
557
00:24:25,867 --> 00:24:27,767
[narrator] But Yadira says
it wasn't long
558
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:29,667
before Landy had
serious concerns
559
00:24:29,667 --> 00:24:32,300
about his relationship
with Jose Adame.
560
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:33,767
Landy had actually found out
561
00:24:33,767 --> 00:24:35,667
that who he thought Adame was
562
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:37,400
and who Adame actually was,
563
00:24:37,467 --> 00:24:39,300
were two totally
different people.
564
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,900
[Ed] Jose had some previous
run-ins with law enforcement,
565
00:24:44,967 --> 00:24:50,367
with aggression towards
individuals, including, Landy.
566
00:24:50,367 --> 00:24:54,266
[narrator] Their volatile
relationship eventually
reaches a breaking point,
567
00:24:54,266 --> 00:24:57,667
and Landy tells Jose
he needs to move out.
568
00:24:57,667 --> 00:24:59,700
[Michael Bouchard]
Adame wasn't working.
569
00:24:59,767 --> 00:25:02,467
So he was really relying
on Landy
570
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:04,166
as his financial support
571
00:25:04,166 --> 00:25:06,367
and as you can imagine,
when Landy says,
572
00:25:06,367 --> 00:25:08,467
"Hey, I don't want to go
out with you anymore,"
573
00:25:08,467 --> 00:25:10,600
Adame's place of reside
is gone,
574
00:25:10,667 --> 00:25:13,100
any financial considerations
575
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:15,367
that he was getting from Landy
are gone.
576
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:20,000
[narrator]
Yadira tells detectives
that the jilted Jose
577
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
found a way to get revenge
on Landy.
578
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,166
[Amy] Jose was in possession
of this red Acura SUV.
579
00:25:26,166 --> 00:25:28,600
However, the SUV is actually
580
00:25:28,667 --> 00:25:31,767
in both Landy's name
and Jose's name.
581
00:25:31,767 --> 00:25:34,300
When that relationship ended,
Jose left
582
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:36,867
and he moved out
and he took this vehicle.
583
00:25:36,867 --> 00:25:40,667
[Amy] And he would
purposely get
red light tickets
584
00:25:40,667 --> 00:25:42,200
and he was trying to do this
585
00:25:42,266 --> 00:25:45,066
so that Landy would get
all these tickets
586
00:25:45,066 --> 00:25:47,266
and rack up all these fees,
587
00:25:47,266 --> 00:25:49,200
which could potentially
harm Landy
588
00:25:49,266 --> 00:25:50,600
by suspending his license
589
00:25:50,667 --> 00:25:52,367
if he doesn't pay these fees.
590
00:25:52,367 --> 00:25:55,367
[Ed] So Landy's getting
traffic citations in the mail,
591
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:57,367
which he is responsible for.
592
00:25:57,367 --> 00:25:59,967
[Amy] So he knows
he's got to stop Jose.
593
00:25:59,967 --> 00:26:00,900
It's gone too far.
594
00:26:02,467 --> 00:26:04,867
[Amy] He goes to the DHSMV
595
00:26:04,867 --> 00:26:08,100
where he says, "I need to
remove Jose Adame
596
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:10,400
from this title
and vehicle registration
597
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:12,066
and I want it
just in my name."
598
00:26:13,567 --> 00:26:16,867
[narrator] But Landy still has
one big hurdle to overcome.
599
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:19,166
He needs to get the car back
in his possession.
600
00:26:20,767 --> 00:26:23,000
[Ed] Jose was located in
North Carolina
601
00:26:23,066 --> 00:26:24,600
at his mother's residence.
602
00:26:24,667 --> 00:26:28,767
So Landy devised a plan
where he contacted Jose,
603
00:26:28,767 --> 00:26:30,467
told Jose that he missed him,
604
00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:32,767
that he wanted to talk about
605
00:26:32,767 --> 00:26:34,400
him getting back together.
606
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:37,567
This made Jose very happy,
very excited
607
00:26:37,567 --> 00:26:39,867
and Landy said,
"Well, why don't you
come down here.
608
00:26:39,867 --> 00:26:41,667
Let's meet
and have lunch together
609
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:42,800
and talk about
our relationship."
610
00:26:45,367 --> 00:26:46,467
[narrator] The two agreed
to meet
611
00:26:46,467 --> 00:26:48,367
in a restaurant parking lot,
612
00:26:48,367 --> 00:26:51,467
but what Jose believes
will be a reconciliation,
613
00:26:51,467 --> 00:26:54,300
is really about Landy
getting the car back.
614
00:26:54,367 --> 00:26:56,266
Landy contacted
law enforcement
615
00:26:56,266 --> 00:26:57,667
requesting their assistance.
616
00:26:57,667 --> 00:27:00,066
He anticipated that
there was going to be
an issue.
617
00:27:01,166 --> 00:27:03,667
[Amy] And ultimately
the deputies on scene
618
00:27:03,667 --> 00:27:06,367
inform Jose that he needs
to get his stuff out
619
00:27:06,367 --> 00:27:08,500
and the car, in fact,
needs to go back to Landy,
620
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:11,100
because Jose is no longer
considered an owner.
621
00:27:11,166 --> 00:27:14,467
So this absolutely came
as a blindside to Jose.
622
00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:18,300
He just spent hours
driving south
623
00:27:18,367 --> 00:27:20,266
from North Carolina
to Florida,
624
00:27:20,266 --> 00:27:23,600
in the hopes of reconciling
with the love of his life
625
00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:25,567
and only to find out
626
00:27:25,567 --> 00:27:27,367
that he was there
to get tricked.
627
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,767
[Keira Stockdale]
And this may have been
the only way
628
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:34,667
Landy could actually
regain the automobile.
629
00:27:34,667 --> 00:27:37,500
The problem is that
from Jose's perspective,
630
00:27:37,567 --> 00:27:40,200
he may have seen this
as a public humiliation,
631
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,100
which, we know,
can lead to rage.
632
00:27:44,867 --> 00:27:46,467
[narrator]
Detectives wondered,
633
00:27:46,467 --> 00:27:49,700
is it possible Jose's rage
escalated to murder?
634
00:27:51,767 --> 00:27:54,166
[Ed] This, quite possibly,
could lead to the motive
635
00:27:54,166 --> 00:27:55,467
for this homicide.
636
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:02,600
[siren blaring]
637
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,000
[narrator] Detectives have
just discovered
638
00:28:04,066 --> 00:28:06,967
that two weeks before
Landy Martinez was murdered,
639
00:28:06,967 --> 00:28:09,100
he called deputies
to help get his car back
640
00:28:09,166 --> 00:28:11,567
from his ex-boyfriend
Jose Adame.
641
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:17,266
Landy has completely
terminated the relationship,
642
00:28:17,266 --> 00:28:19,467
basically stranding Jose
643
00:28:19,467 --> 00:28:22,266
without a vehicle,
with shattered dreams
644
00:28:22,266 --> 00:28:24,467
of the reconciliation
of the relationship
645
00:28:24,467 --> 00:28:26,467
and embarrassing him.
646
00:28:26,467 --> 00:28:29,600
Is he going to become
furious and angry
647
00:28:29,667 --> 00:28:31,266
and potentially harm Landy?
648
00:28:33,066 --> 00:28:35,467
[narrator] Detectives need
to speak with Jose Adame.
649
00:28:36,066 --> 00:28:37,266
But there's a problem.
650
00:28:38,367 --> 00:28:40,266
[Amy] We have no idea
where he is.
651
00:28:42,066 --> 00:28:45,867
We look everywhere
for Jose in Pinellas County.
652
00:28:45,867 --> 00:28:48,100
We're doing everything we can
to try to find him
653
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:50,166
because we need to talk
to him,
654
00:28:50,166 --> 00:28:51,867
but we can't find
him anywhere.
655
00:28:52,867 --> 00:28:55,567
It's extremely frustrating.
656
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:58,100
[narrator]
As detectives continue
their search for Jose,
657
00:28:58,667 --> 00:29:00,867
they catch a big break.
658
00:29:00,867 --> 00:29:03,200
Forensic technicians
have finally unlocked
659
00:29:03,266 --> 00:29:06,000
the cellphone that was found
at the crime scene.
660
00:29:06,066 --> 00:29:07,700
[Ed] And we were able to learn
661
00:29:07,767 --> 00:29:10,800
that the phone, actually,
belonged to Landy
662
00:29:10,867 --> 00:29:12,000
based on the cellphone number.
663
00:29:13,266 --> 00:29:14,567
[narrator] It was
the same phone
664
00:29:14,567 --> 00:29:15,700
that Landy used to make
665
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:19,567
his terrifying 911 call
on December 21st.
666
00:29:19,567 --> 00:29:21,567
[Landy speaking]
667
00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:27,000
[narrator] But detectives
are puzzled.
668
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,367
Why didn't Landy's killer
take his cellphone
669
00:29:29,367 --> 00:29:30,600
after he was murdered?
670
00:29:32,266 --> 00:29:33,867
The cellphone
was actually found
671
00:29:33,867 --> 00:29:35,000
tucked between the mattress
672
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,100
and the box spring
673
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,700
in the room that Landy
was found in.
674
00:29:38,767 --> 00:29:40,800
There doesn't seem to be
any other explanation
675
00:29:40,867 --> 00:29:42,467
other than this having been
done deliberately.
676
00:29:43,367 --> 00:29:46,166
[narrator] Likely,
by Landy himself.
677
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:48,567
[Michael Arntfield]
It's quite remarkable
that Landy,
678
00:29:48,567 --> 00:29:51,400
after being tortured,
has the presence of mind
679
00:29:51,467 --> 00:29:55,166
after calling 911
to conceal his phone.
680
00:29:55,166 --> 00:29:57,567
Because it's far-enough
out of plain view
681
00:29:57,567 --> 00:29:59,667
that his killer
doesn't see it,
682
00:29:59,667 --> 00:30:01,400
and what he's doing
is, essentially,
683
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:03,767
future proofing
one of the best
pieces of evidence.
684
00:30:04,767 --> 00:30:06,300
[narrator] The evidence
Landy concealed
685
00:30:06,367 --> 00:30:07,800
during his dying moments
686
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:09,367
breaks the case wide open.
687
00:30:10,567 --> 00:30:14,000
We were able to obtain
the contents of that phone
688
00:30:14,066 --> 00:30:15,767
and we discovered a video
689
00:30:15,767 --> 00:30:17,400
that was recorded
on that phone.
690
00:30:18,367 --> 00:30:19,867
[narrator] When detectives
review it,
691
00:30:19,867 --> 00:30:21,467
they are shocked
by what they see.
692
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:26,367
This is, probably, one of
the most chilling videos
693
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:27,667
I've ever seen.
694
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:29,367
[screams]
695
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:32,467
[Ed] It is the bathroom,
inside the crime scene,
696
00:30:32,467 --> 00:30:35,367
and Landy is seen
on the video.
697
00:30:35,367 --> 00:30:37,066
His wrists are duct
taped together.
698
00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:38,867
He is crying.
699
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,400
-[crying]
-[Ed] He is pleading.
700
00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:43,867
And he is definitely fearful
for his life.
701
00:30:43,867 --> 00:30:45,000
[shrieking]
702
00:30:45,066 --> 00:30:46,567
[Amy] This video was taken
703
00:30:46,567 --> 00:30:49,266
the same day of Landy's murder
704
00:30:49,266 --> 00:30:52,000
and within the time frame
of his murder.
705
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,166
[narrator] But who shot
the video remains a mystery.
706
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,767
[Rob] It's clear that
someone else is holding
the cellphone.
707
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,266
Someone else
is recording this.
708
00:31:03,266 --> 00:31:04,500
[screams]
709
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,867
Whoever was recording it,
710
00:31:06,867 --> 00:31:09,800
was very careful not to
implicate themselves,
711
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:11,467
not to video themselves,
712
00:31:11,467 --> 00:31:13,000
or speak during the video.
713
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,700
[narrator] As detectives
watch the video,
714
00:31:15,767 --> 00:31:16,700
they hear a clue.
715
00:31:16,767 --> 00:31:17,600
[bleep]
716
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:19,300
He mentions Jose.
717
00:31:19,367 --> 00:31:20,367
[shrieks]
718
00:31:20,367 --> 00:31:21,767
This is one of the big
breaks in the case.
719
00:31:22,767 --> 00:31:25,100
On the recording,
Landy tells Jose,
720
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:27,800
that he is sorry
for everything
he's ever done.
721
00:31:27,867 --> 00:31:29,000
Everything was his fault
722
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,567
and that, Jose was great.
723
00:31:31,567 --> 00:31:33,200
None of it was Jose's fault
724
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:35,700
and he was lucky
to ever have Jose
725
00:31:35,767 --> 00:31:37,900
in his life as a partner.
726
00:31:37,967 --> 00:31:40,467
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
727
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,000
And you would have to assume
728
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,600
that what he is saying,
he's been instructed to say.
729
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:47,500
Landy is in the tub,
he is distraught.
730
00:31:47,567 --> 00:31:50,667
His hands are visible
and bound by duct tape.
731
00:31:50,667 --> 00:31:52,266
But he made it a point
to say that
732
00:31:52,266 --> 00:31:53,700
Jose had nothing
to do with this.
733
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:56,667
[narrator] The video
strongly suggests
734
00:31:56,667 --> 00:31:59,100
Jose was likely
Landy's killer.
735
00:31:59,166 --> 00:32:00,667
But because Jose himself
736
00:32:00,667 --> 00:32:03,367
is neither seen nor heard
on the recording,
737
00:32:03,367 --> 00:32:05,166
detectives still need
direct evidence
738
00:32:05,166 --> 00:32:07,367
against him to press charges.
739
00:32:07,367 --> 00:32:10,000
[Amy] We were able to get
Jose's phone number
740
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,100
to try to find out
where was Jose Adame
741
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:14,667
during the time frame
of the murder.
742
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:16,567
And we find out
743
00:32:16,567 --> 00:32:19,066
that we was actually
in Pinellas County, Florida
744
00:32:19,066 --> 00:32:21,166
and he was hitting off
cell towers
745
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:23,767
not far away from where
Landy was murdered.
746
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,700
So now we're able to
obtain an arrest warrant
747
00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:32,166
because there's more and more
leading to Jose.
748
00:32:32,166 --> 00:32:34,500
[narrator] But police still
haven't been able to find him.
749
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,600
The only way
that we can find him
750
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:38,767
is by his cell phone.
751
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:41,567
[narrator] Jose's
cellphone records reveal
752
00:32:41,567 --> 00:32:43,467
that the day after the murder,
753
00:32:43,467 --> 00:32:46,500
he travelled 600 miles
north from Florida
754
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:47,900
to spend Christmas
at his mother's
755
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:49,300
in Hickory, North Carolina.
756
00:32:50,567 --> 00:32:52,700
So we have good intelligence
757
00:32:52,767 --> 00:32:54,867
that Jose has probably
gone back
758
00:32:54,867 --> 00:32:58,166
to the state of North Carolina
where his family is located.
759
00:32:58,166 --> 00:32:59,266
Now we need
to close in on him.
760
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,367
[narrator]
With no jurisdiction
761
00:33:01,367 --> 00:33:03,867
to arrest Jose
in North Carolina,
762
00:33:03,867 --> 00:33:06,200
Florida detectives
asked U.S. Marshals
763
00:33:06,266 --> 00:33:08,600
to execute the arrest warrant
against Jose.
764
00:33:09,567 --> 00:33:12,066
But we were asking ourselves
this question,
765
00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:14,400
"When the U.S. Marshals
get to North Carolina,
766
00:33:14,467 --> 00:33:15,467
is he going to go quietly?"
767
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,100
[narrator] On December
27th, 2011,
768
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:25,100
less than a week after
Landy Martinez's murder
in Florida,
769
00:33:25,166 --> 00:33:26,867
U.S. Marshals
in North Carolina
770
00:33:26,867 --> 00:33:29,166
track down the prime suspect.
771
00:33:29,166 --> 00:33:31,867
The victim's ex-boyfriend,
Jose Adame.
772
00:33:33,066 --> 00:33:35,467
[Amy] We were able to arrest
Jose Adame
773
00:33:35,467 --> 00:33:38,667
on an arrest warrant
and place him into custody
774
00:33:38,667 --> 00:33:40,767
where we could sit down
and talk with him.
775
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:45,066
[Ed] When we met him,
776
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:47,967
he was extremely
emotional, upset.
777
00:33:47,967 --> 00:33:50,500
He was actually vomiting
778
00:33:50,567 --> 00:33:52,867
extensively, uncontrollably.
779
00:33:53,667 --> 00:33:55,300
All signs of stress.
780
00:33:56,567 --> 00:33:59,066
[Amy] Jose admits
that he talked to Landy
781
00:33:59,066 --> 00:34:02,600
on December 20th during that
three-way phone call
782
00:34:02,667 --> 00:34:04,500
sometime after midnight.
783
00:34:04,567 --> 00:34:06,767
And he also claims he was
in North Carolina
784
00:34:06,767 --> 00:34:08,767
at the time of the murder.
785
00:34:08,767 --> 00:34:10,567
[narrator] But Jose's
cell phone records
786
00:34:10,567 --> 00:34:13,100
tell detectives
a different story.
787
00:34:13,166 --> 00:34:15,867
There was actually information
that put his phone
788
00:34:15,867 --> 00:34:17,867
here in Pinellas County
at that time
789
00:34:17,867 --> 00:34:19,667
and not in North Carolina.
790
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,867
We actually confront Jose
791
00:34:23,867 --> 00:34:25,266
with this information,
792
00:34:25,266 --> 00:34:27,467
so that he can tell the truth.
793
00:34:27,467 --> 00:34:29,467
[narrator] But Jose continues
to deny
794
00:34:29,467 --> 00:34:31,567
he had anything to do
with Landy's murder.
795
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:34,066
He claims he's innocent.
796
00:34:34,066 --> 00:34:37,967
Jose tells us he was stranded
in Pinellas County
797
00:34:37,967 --> 00:34:40,500
and that his family came down,
798
00:34:40,567 --> 00:34:43,100
picked him up and brought him
back to North Carolina
799
00:34:43,166 --> 00:34:45,867
on December 17th,
where he then remained.
800
00:34:46,967 --> 00:34:48,500
[narrator] Detectives need
to corroborate
801
00:34:48,567 --> 00:34:50,800
Jose's story with his family.
802
00:34:50,867 --> 00:34:53,100
So they travelled to Hickory,
North Carolina,
803
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:54,867
to interview them.
804
00:34:54,867 --> 00:34:58,500
[Ed] We'd interview the mother
and seven sisters
805
00:34:58,567 --> 00:35:00,100
that all resided
in a mobile home.
806
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,567
[Amy] Jose's family told us,
807
00:35:03,567 --> 00:35:06,266
that Jose has been
in North Carolina
808
00:35:06,266 --> 00:35:10,100
and was present at the time
Landy was murdered.
809
00:35:10,166 --> 00:35:12,100
[narrator] Every family member
told detectives
810
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:13,867
the same story about Jose.
811
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:15,800
All except one.
812
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,166
[Ed] When we were leaving,
813
00:35:18,166 --> 00:35:20,667
a young woman who was walking
up to the mobile home,
814
00:35:20,667 --> 00:35:23,300
she was able to provide
crucial information
815
00:35:23,367 --> 00:35:25,000
in this investigation.
816
00:35:25,066 --> 00:35:26,467
[Amy] This young female
817
00:35:26,467 --> 00:35:28,867
is identified as
Jose's niece, Maria.
818
00:35:29,867 --> 00:35:31,900
[Ed] She explained
that she had driven
819
00:35:31,967 --> 00:35:34,900
to Pinellas County, Florida
to pick up Jose
820
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:36,467
in her mother's vehicle
821
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:38,567
and she drove him back
822
00:35:38,567 --> 00:35:40,567
to Hickory, North Carolina.
823
00:35:40,567 --> 00:35:43,567
But then she explained
that the very next day,
824
00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:46,166
Jose borrowed
her mother's vehicle
825
00:35:46,166 --> 00:35:48,400
and went back to Florida
826
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:49,700
the night before the murder.
827
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,667
And then, came back home
828
00:35:52,667 --> 00:35:54,266
the following night,
after the murder.
829
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,266
[narrator] It's a big
break in the case.
830
00:35:57,266 --> 00:35:59,567
Did Jose murder
Landy in Florida,
831
00:35:59,567 --> 00:36:02,100
then drive home
to North Carolina?
832
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:04,667
If he did, then the vehicle
he drove,
833
00:36:04,667 --> 00:36:06,166
a black Chevy Trailblazer
834
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:08,567
may contain evidence
to prove it.
835
00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:10,066
[Ed] We obtained
a search warrant
836
00:36:10,066 --> 00:36:12,367
and we searched that vehicle.
837
00:36:12,367 --> 00:36:15,200
[narrator] Inside,
investigators find
damning evidence
838
00:36:15,266 --> 00:36:17,867
pointing to Jose
as Landy's killer.
839
00:36:17,867 --> 00:36:20,000
There was a cotton cloth glove
840
00:36:20,066 --> 00:36:22,266
matching the glove
that was found
841
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:24,200
inside the crime scene
in the bathroom.
842
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,467
[Amy] And in this glove,
843
00:36:26,467 --> 00:36:29,000
we find Landy's DNA
on the outside
844
00:36:29,066 --> 00:36:31,367
and we find Jose's DNA
on the inside.
845
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:33,767
[Ed] Blood is identified
846
00:36:33,767 --> 00:36:35,567
on the steering wheel
of the vehicle.
847
00:36:36,567 --> 00:36:38,667
And inside that
driver compartment,
848
00:36:38,667 --> 00:36:40,700
we find trace evidence
849
00:36:40,767 --> 00:36:42,367
of Landy Martinez's blood.
850
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,467
At this point, we know
851
00:36:45,467 --> 00:36:48,000
that Jose Adame
had something to do
852
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,600
with Landy Martinez's murder.
853
00:36:53,367 --> 00:36:54,800
[narrator] The detectives
believe Jose
854
00:36:54,867 --> 00:36:58,166
maybe hiding even more
than his role in the crime.
855
00:36:58,166 --> 00:37:01,700
[Amy] We recall listening
to the chilling 911 call
856
00:37:01,767 --> 00:37:04,266
where Landy Martinez
screams out,
857
00:37:04,266 --> 00:37:05,767
"They're going to kill me."
858
00:37:05,767 --> 00:37:08,000
[Landy speaking]
859
00:37:10,767 --> 00:37:11,967
If it was a singular person,
860
00:37:11,967 --> 00:37:14,000
he would have used
the word "he", not "they."
861
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:16,166
[Ed] So we realized that
862
00:37:16,166 --> 00:37:18,100
we're looking for
two perpetrators.
863
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,367
[narrator] Investigators
pressed Jose to name
his accomplice.
864
00:37:24,266 --> 00:37:28,800
Jose's denying everything
and not implicating anybody.
865
00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:30,500
[narrator] But they know
who might be able to help.
866
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:34,066
Jose's niece, Maria.
867
00:37:34,066 --> 00:37:35,800
She provides the name
of a young man
868
00:37:35,867 --> 00:37:37,300
she says, accompanied Jose
869
00:37:37,367 --> 00:37:38,767
on his trip to
the victim's house,
870
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:41,166
Jose's nephew, Dylan.
871
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,567
Dylan was a 16-year-old
high school student
872
00:37:44,567 --> 00:37:46,467
and a relative of Jose.
873
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:48,367
[Amy] Detectives were able
to get
874
00:37:48,367 --> 00:37:51,500
a phone number for this Dylan
875
00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:54,800
and in doing research
of the phone data,
876
00:37:54,867 --> 00:37:57,867
they actually found
that during the time frame
of Landy's murder,
877
00:37:57,867 --> 00:38:00,800
they can pinpoint that Dylan
was in Pinellas County
at that time.
878
00:38:01,867 --> 00:38:03,467
[narrator] But without
any hard evidence,
879
00:38:03,467 --> 00:38:06,300
detectives can't arrest
or even detain the minor.
880
00:38:10,667 --> 00:38:12,667
As we moved forward
with this investigation,
881
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:14,800
we quickly find
that there's evidence
882
00:38:14,867 --> 00:38:16,467
that he fled to Mexico
883
00:38:16,467 --> 00:38:19,000
and is no longer even
in the United States.
884
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,467
[narrator] Since Dylan
is a minor,
885
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:23,500
and outside
of US jurisdiction,
886
00:38:23,567 --> 00:38:25,100
he is safe from prosecution.
887
00:38:26,567 --> 00:38:28,800
[Michael] For police,
it's very frustrating
888
00:38:28,867 --> 00:38:31,800
to have strong
circumstantial evidence
889
00:38:31,867 --> 00:38:35,066
of the existence
of an accomplice,
890
00:38:35,066 --> 00:38:37,367
especially in a crime
as heinous as this,
891
00:38:37,367 --> 00:38:39,166
who is just beyond your reach.
892
00:38:39,166 --> 00:38:40,667
The state attorney's office
893
00:38:40,667 --> 00:38:42,500
did not file charges on Dylan.
894
00:38:42,567 --> 00:38:45,266
They focused and only filed
charges on Jose.
895
00:38:47,266 --> 00:38:49,667
[narrator]
With the evidence obtained
from the cellphone video,
896
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:52,266
Landy's friend's statements,
897
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,367
DNA on the glove
in the Trailblazer
898
00:38:55,367 --> 00:38:58,667
and Landy's phone recovered
at the murder scene,
899
00:38:58,667 --> 00:39:00,667
detectives can now
piece together
900
00:39:00,667 --> 00:39:04,000
the last 24 hours
of Landy Martinez's life.
901
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:09,567
[Ed] We know that on
December 20th at 11:30 p.m.,
902
00:39:09,567 --> 00:39:11,700
Landy returns home
from his job.
903
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:15,767
[Amy] At 12 a.m.,
Landy has a three way call
904
00:39:15,767 --> 00:39:17,667
with Jonathan and Jose
905
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:19,667
and in that call,
he tells Jose,
906
00:39:19,667 --> 00:39:21,100
"It's over for good."
907
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:25,567
[narrator]
Jose and his accomplice
drive from North Carolina
908
00:39:25,567 --> 00:39:27,767
to Landy's home
in the Chevy Trailblazer.
909
00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:32,400
[Ed] Between 7 a.m.
and 7:30 in the morning,
910
00:39:32,467 --> 00:39:34,667
Landy's house is broken into
911
00:39:34,667 --> 00:39:37,500
by Jose and
the second perpetrator
912
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:39,967
at which time they take him,
913
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,100
secure him,
914
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,467
and torture him.
915
00:39:46,266 --> 00:39:48,467
[Ed] Jose shoots video
of Landy's suffering
916
00:39:48,467 --> 00:39:49,634
on Landy's own phone.
917
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:54,867
[Amy] They are forcing him to
say things such as
918
00:39:54,867 --> 00:39:57,567
he was wrong for ending
this relationship with Jose.
919
00:39:57,567 --> 00:40:00,066
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
920
00:40:00,066 --> 00:40:03,767
At 7:45 a.m., Jonathan texts
Landy's phone,
921
00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:04,867
telling him he loves him.
922
00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:05,800
[message beeps]
923
00:40:08,767 --> 00:40:11,500
And in response,
receives messages
924
00:40:11,567 --> 00:40:14,367
that, we believe, were sent
from Jose Adame.
925
00:40:14,367 --> 00:40:15,266
[message beeps]
926
00:40:18,867 --> 00:40:20,467
[Ed] At 9:40 in the morning,
927
00:40:20,467 --> 00:40:22,900
Landy is able to escape
his bindings...
928
00:40:25,767 --> 00:40:29,166
obtain his cellphone
and make a 911 call
929
00:40:29,767 --> 00:40:31,767
to report the attack.
930
00:40:31,767 --> 00:40:33,767
[narrator] And before
Jose and his accomplice
931
00:40:33,767 --> 00:40:35,467
are able to subdue him,
932
00:40:35,467 --> 00:40:37,567
Landy manages to hide
his cellphone
933
00:40:37,567 --> 00:40:38,900
underneath his mattress.
934
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,800
I think that he did that
935
00:40:40,867 --> 00:40:42,600
to try and help investigators
936
00:40:42,667 --> 00:40:43,867
solve his own case.
937
00:40:45,467 --> 00:40:48,467
[Amy] Shortly after,
Jose Adame and Dylan
938
00:40:48,467 --> 00:40:50,800
enters the bedroom
where Landy Martinez is
939
00:40:50,867 --> 00:40:53,066
and shoots him twice,
killing him.
940
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,767
[narrator] Detectives suspect
that after Landy was murdered,
941
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:02,266
Jose and his accomplice
attempted to rob Landy
942
00:41:02,266 --> 00:41:04,667
of his TV and other valuables.
943
00:41:04,667 --> 00:41:06,767
Fearing police
were on their way,
944
00:41:06,767 --> 00:41:09,400
they quickly abandoned
the plan.
945
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:11,100
[Ed] And that's why
they didn't get to load up
946
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,100
all of the property
that they had stored
947
00:41:13,166 --> 00:41:15,066
at the front door to steal.
They just fled.
948
00:41:16,867 --> 00:41:18,467
[narrator] In July, 2016,
949
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:20,400
Jose Adame is tried
950
00:41:20,467 --> 00:41:22,200
for the murder
of Landy Martinez.
951
00:41:23,166 --> 00:41:25,667
[Amy] And Jose Adame
is convicted
952
00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:27,500
of first-degree murder
953
00:41:27,567 --> 00:41:29,100
and sentenced to
life in prison.
954
00:41:30,367 --> 00:41:33,667
[Ed] This one's bittersweet
because we did get
955
00:41:33,667 --> 00:41:37,467
Jose who is the reason
for this homicide
956
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:39,000
of Landy Martinez.
957
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:43,200
But we did not get
the second perpetrator
958
00:41:43,266 --> 00:41:46,000
which doesn't sit well
with me,
959
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,367
even this many years later.
960
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,266
[Keira] This case is so tragic
961
00:41:51,266 --> 00:41:53,367
because it remind us that
962
00:41:53,367 --> 00:41:55,200
violence doesn't just occur
963
00:41:55,266 --> 00:41:58,200
in the context of a certain
type of relationship.
964
00:41:58,266 --> 00:42:00,467
Gay men are equally as likely
965
00:42:00,467 --> 00:42:02,367
to have violence occur
in the relationship
966
00:42:02,367 --> 00:42:04,300
and that resulted
967
00:42:04,367 --> 00:42:07,700
in this ultimate torture
and eventual murder.
