The rage, anger,
and overwhelming need to destroy the victim.
Her throat had been cut with a four-inch laceration.
It was a very gruesome scene -- I could
tell right then and there that she was gone.
He could have escalated violence
because he felt entitled.
This man is more dangerous than she thought.
He was creepy -- gave off some weird vibes.
If she disclosed her relationship with him,
this man would have had a motive to kill her.
NARRATOR: Every day in North America,
dozens of people are murdered.
The key to solving the toughest of these homicides
lies in the final 24 hours of the victim's life.
To crack the case,
detectives must reconstruct that critical timeline,
the minutes and hours containing evidence that can
help unlock the mystery and catch the killer.
Just two miles north of Detroit, Royal Oak,
Michigan, is a thriving city of young professionals.
Royal Oak is a fun town.
It has a great downtown area with
lots of things for single life, shopping, eating.
It is known for its really vibrant downtown.
It's a place where the whole region goes to celebrate
and party, and it's a really fun place to live.
NARRATOR: But in the evening of September 19th, 2011,
the fun in Royal Oak turns to concern about one woman,
41-year-old hairdresser, Ranae Chupick.
KLIMKOWSKI: Ranae failed to show up for her shift for work.
It was not like Ranae at all to not show up for her shift.
-She lived not far from there, -[phone ringing]
and she wasn't answering the phone.
[phone ringing]
That was a major red flag.
A friend and I went with the landlord
to Ranae's apartment to make sure she's okay.
And there was a blanket
on the living room floor.
When the landlord lifted the blanket,
I did see Ranae covered in blood.
It was a very gruesome scene.
There was no motion.
I could tell right then and there that she was gone.
So I was really just
not sure how to handle what I had just seen.
Ranae brought a lot of fun.
She was always the life of the party
and happy and just was a phenomenal friend.
NARRATOR: Ranae's landlord calls police.
[distant phone ringing]
The Royal Oak Police called the Oakland County
Sheriff's Office
crime scene unit, who shortly arrived at Ranae's apartment.
Investigators found the victim lying on
her back in the living room.
A gray blanket is covering most of her body,
but her hand is exposed on one side,
and both of her arms are outstretched to the sides.
The victim's hair and head are covered in blood,
and a large pool of blood is found around her head on
the carpet.
DAVIDS: There didn't seem to appear to be a murder
weapon but there was obvious signs of a struggle,
signs that something very violent had happened.
There was substantial bruising to both eyes and cheeks.
PERNICK: Investigators see what appear to be 12 knife injuries
in total.
DAVIDS: Ranae's throat had been cut with
a four-inch laceration across the neck.
Investigators recover ripped leggings and a black,
high-heeled boot close
to Ranae's body matching the one
that she was still wearing.
DAVIDS: At this point,
investigators believe that Ranae suffered
a brutal death in her apartment
by someone with a knife or sharp object.
The nature of the injuries suggest rage, anger,
an overwhelming need to destroy the victim.
NARRATOR: Investigators fan out to document the rest of
Ranae's home.
DAVIDS: The apartment was in a state of disarray, messy.
There was blood splattered on the walls.
Investigators couldn't determine what was just kind
of messiness and what was a struggle,
Crime scene investigators
collect a swatch of fabric from
the sofa, which appears to have semen on it.
What appears to be a pubic hair is recovered from an area
near the sofa.
DAVIDS: Despite finding seamen on the couch
and a pubic hair,
investigators, at this point, cannot determine
if this crime is sexual in nature.
There's no evidence of a break-in.
It indicated to them that Ranae
knew the person that murdered her.
NARRATOR: The investigation moves to the exterior of
Ranae's apartment.
PERNICK: Detectives search the area around Ranae's
building -- at the front of the building
on the east side, they find a Huawei cell phone
that matched a charger, which
had been found in Ranae's bathroom.
The cell phone is sent to forensic investigators to
see what information, if any, they can find on it.
At the back of the building in a dumpster,
detectives find a plastic bag...
containing four rags, one of which appears
to have blood on it.
They also find an empty bottle of Barefoot Moscato wine.
NARRATOR: The bottle matches those found
in Ranae's apartment.
Two cotton socks are found, which
also appear to have blood on them.
There are also two knives, one a butcher knife
and the other a steak knife
with a blade broken off the handle.
Police believe the knives came from Ranae's home
and believe them to be possibly the murder weapons.
NARRATOR: Based on the evidence inside and outside the home,
investigators form a theory of what
happened when Ranae Chupick was murdered.
PERNICK: Ranae could have let her killer
in through the front door,
let him pass the kitchen and into the living room.
They talked and drank together.
Then they got into an argument at some point.
There had been a struggle in the apartment.
DAVIDS: But then it became violent.
She's then violently stabbed.
And then she was covered with a blanket.
PERNICK: The fact that Ranae's body was covered
with this gray blanket could suggest that
whoever killed her was disgusted and ashamed by what
that person had done to Ranae.
Investigators surmised that the killer cleaned
the apartment
and put all these items in the trash to cover his tracks.
NARRATOR: To find Ranae Chupick's killer,
investigators will need to retrace
the last 24 hours of her life.
Detectives start with one of Ranae's friends, Rebecca.
She has information about September 18th,
the day before Ranae's body was discovered.
Rebecca told police that she was likely
the last person that had spoken to Ranae.
She spoke to Ranae on September 18th at 11:44 p.m.
Ranae invited her over that night for a couple of drinks.
Rebecca told Ranae that she was tired and was going to bed.
Ranae ended the phone call
when she said that someone was at the door.
NARRATOR: Investigators believe that visitor was likely
Ranae's killer.
If so, that means she was murdered between 11:44 p.m.
on September 18th when she ended the call from Rebecca
and 9:30 p.m. on September 19th,
when her landlord and friends discovered her dead.
Detectives reach out to Ranae's landlord,
39-year-old John Veats, who had a key to Ranae's apartment.
Investigators felt that having a key to her home
meant he must have had access to her.
KLIMKOWSKI: Ranae lived by herself.
She had said her landlord was always showing up,
which was just kind of creepy.
PERNICK: Because there were no signs of
forced entry in the apartment,
anyone who had a key to the apartment, such as
the landlord, has to be looked at as a suspect.
The landlord knows her comings and goings, her routine.
He may have been somebody who
felt they could take what they wanted.
NARRATOR: A day after police in Royal Oak, Michigan,
find 41-year-old hairstylist,
Ranae Chupick murdered in her apartment,
detectives need to speak to
the man who found her and called 911...
Ranae's landlord, John Veats. -[phone ringing]
One of Ranae's friends told police
that the landlord was strange or creepy.
He also had a key to the apartment.
So the landlord has to be looked at as a suspect.
NARRATOR: Detectives bring Veats in for questioning.
DAVIDS: When investigators speak to Ranae's landlord,
he's quiet and evasive.
He tells police he doesn't know anything
about Ranae's murder.
The landlord told police that Ranae had no issues with
people in the building and that she mostly kept
to herself.
PERNICK: Ranae had moved in two months earlier
and had been a great tenant,
DAVIDS: But he doesn't have more information for them.
NARRATOR: Detectives ask the landlord for
his whereabouts when Ranae was killed.
PERNICK: He tells police that he was
somewhere else when the murder happened,
and we confirm his whereabouts at the time of her murder.
Police don't find any other evidence
which points toward him as the killer.
NARRATOR: So detectives must eliminate
Ranae's landlord as a suspect
and look elsewhere to find her killer.
Police reach out again to Ranae's friend, Rebecca.
They want to learn more about Ranae's background
and if anyone may have wanted to harm her.
Rebecca told police that Ranae
had her faults -- she was a bit of
a party girl,
but that Ranae was so good at heart
that she was unable to see the bad in people.
NARRATOR: Rebecca brings up one of Ranae's ex-boyfriends,
who Ranae thought was better than he really was,
a 45-year-old bartender named Glen Deakins.
PERNICK: Rebecca told police that Ranae had gotten into
a fight with this ex-boyfriend
while she was moving into her apartment.
This ex-boyfriend had threatened Ranae with going
to hell and possibly broke into her former apartment.
He also had been trying to get in touch
with Ranae in the days leading up to her death.
Ranae described him as being nuts.
STOCKDALE: Glen is a clear suspect.
There's a history of violence in his relationship
with Ranae.
It's fairly recent, and there's also a breakup.
And so these are all things that could be risk factors for
intimate partner homicide,
which can occur not just when the couple is in
a relationship, but following any sort of breakup.
NARRATOR: Detectives track down Ranae Chupick's
ex-boyfriend, Glen Deakins,
and bring him in for questioning.
PERNICK: He tells police that he had not spoken to Ranae
in some weeks.
He tells police that he last spoke to Ranae on August 31st.
They spoke for about five minutes, during which Ranae
told him that somebody was trying to kill her
but would not provide any details about who or why.
NARRATOR: Investigators ask Glen about fighting with Ranae
and about the accusations of aggressive behavior toward her
on the day she was moving.
DAVIDS: He told police that he had said some harsh things to
the victim, but he didn't mean them.
And he said that on that particular day,
that Ranae had assaulted him first.
He warned her to stop.
STOCKDALE: Glen says to investigators,
"Hey, it wasn't just me, Ranae was involved in this.
I was trying to protect myself from Ranae."
Glen is clearly trying to distance himself
from any kind of past aggression with Ranae.
And the question is why -- is it because he's a guilty party?
NARRATOR: Investigators grill Glen Deakins about
his alibi during the time of Ranae's murder.
PERNICK: He tells police that he had started a new job
two weeks earlier, and they
can contact his boss, who will confirm that he was working
when the murder happened.
DAVIDS: Police call his employer and see if they can
confirm his whereabouts on the day of the murder.
PERNICK: The employer was unable to account for
the whereabouts of the ex-boyfriend
when the murder happened.
NARRATOR: Given his inability to confirm his whereabouts,
Glen Deakins is now the prime suspect in the murder
of Ranae Chupick.
But he maintains his innocence.
He tells police that he would continue to cooperate,
would provide a DNA sample, and would be willing to take
a polygraph examination.
NARRATOR: While police await Glen Deakins' test results,
their suspicion alone is not enough to hold him.
They have no choice but to release him
with a warning not to leave town.
With Glen Deakins still the prime suspect,
detectives check the last time he may have contacted Ranae.
PERNICK: On examining Ranae's cell phone,
they find that it had either placed
or received 11 calls between 9:56 p.m.
on September 18th and 12:25 a.m.
on September 19th.
Police can now narrow the time
of Ranae's death between 12:25 a.m.,
when she last picked up her cell phone, and 9:30 p.m.
on September 19th, when the 911
call was placed to Royal Oak Police.
The phone records show an incoming
phone call from Rebecca at 11:44 p.m.
The remaining 11 calls, nine incoming and two outgoing,
came from or were made to the same unknown number.
NARRATOR: Nut the caller's number
has no name associated with it.
Who did Ranae speak to 11 times
in the hours leading up to her death?
DAVIDS: Police search several databases,
but they're not able to identify the caller.
They decide to keep calling
the number until someone does pick up.
[phone ringing]
NARRATOR: Finally, someone answers,
but they hang up without ever speaking.
[dial tone]
And that number's owner remains a mystery to detectives.
With that question still unanswered,
detectives call in a second friend of Ranae's to help them,
Courtney Klimkowski.
KLIMKOWSKI: I told them Ranae was divorced.
She had a son who was in his teenage years.
PERNICK: Courtney told police that Ranae was still
good friends with her ex-husband,
and her teenage son lived full-time with his father.
NARRATOR: Detectives asked Courtney if Ranae's finances
were strained as a single mom.
KLIMKOWSKI: She wasn't financially stable,
so she needed as many hours as she could at the salon.
DAVIDS: Courtney said that Ranae was also looking for
a second job at the time of her murder.
NARRATOR: But Courtney adds that whatever extra money Ranae
needed may have been for more than living expenses.
KLIMKOWSKI: Ranae was definitely into the night life.
She was more of a night owl.
She did not like morning shifts.
So she was out trying to see what life had
for her, and I did have a little concern for her
at that point.
On the night of September 14th,
we went out with a group of friends with Ranae, and there
was a man that she met at the bar.
He was tall, gave off some weird vibes.
After I had left the bar,
I think she had continued talking to him.
NARRATOR: Who is the strange man Ranae befriended
at a bar five days before her murder?
From her cell phone records,
police were able to find a contact
for the man that Courtney referred to.
NARRATOR: His name is Daniel Landon,
a 26-year-old security guard.
Ranae had stated that the man that we met
at the bar had been texting her.
He was asking her when they could meet up,
and she was just not interested in doing
something like that.
ARNTFIELD: Daniel was actually aggressively pursuing
the victim,
and she rebuffed his advances.
This naturally is going to raise suspicions.
And in this case, investigators know full well
that unrequited romantic overtures
or advances can be a strong motivation
for violence.
This man, so angered by Ranae's rejection
of him, could have gone to her apartment...
and stabbed her to death.
NARRATOR: Detectives have a new suspect
in Ranae Chupick's murder,
26-year-old Daniel Landon, who aggressively pursued Ranae,
despite her rebuffs.
Investigators bring in the jilted suitor for questioning.
PERNICK: He tells police that he met Ranae
on September 14th at a restaurant
and that they hung out that night.
DAVIDS: He says that
during the time they were at the bar,
he got her number, and since then, they'd been calling
and texting.
PERNICK: He said that it was pretty casual at that point.
He tells police that he had not seen her since and denied
being in any kind of a serious relationship with her.
He also denied having had anything to do
with Ranae's murder.
DAVIDS: And he also tells police that he'll submit
to polygraph testing and DNA testing if needed.
NARRATOR: Even before police take a DNA sample from him,
they already have a strong hunch about the results.
PERNICK: We don't have any information which pointed
to him as being responsible in Ranae's murder, and so...
police exclude this man as a suspect.
NARRATOR: Looking for a new lead,
detectives turn to one more of Ranae's friends, Erin.
Erin said that Ranae was seeing a married man,
and she had recently spoken of ending her relationship
with him.
Erin provided officers with cell phone information for
this man -- with Ranae's cell phone records,
police confirmed this is the same married man.
NARRATOR: The man is 47-year-old Walter Fisk.
When detectives reach out,
he says he'll help in any way he can.
PERNICK: Police ask him about his relationship with Ranae.
He tells them that although he is married,
he's been involved in a relationship with her.
He had met Ranae Chupick a year earlier, and they had
had sex within the four months leading up to the murder.
DAVIDS: He tells police he was with Ranae
on September 18th, the day of the murder.
Did he get mad that Ranae wanted to end the relationship,
and that Ranae possibly started talking
to people about her personal life?
PERNICK: This man would have had a motive to kill Ranae
if she disclosed her relationship
with him, endangering his marriage.
He's got something to lose if the story comes out.
STOCKDALE: Ranae is in a relationship
with Walter, who is married.
I mean, that's a potential love triangle, and we know that
those can be unstable.
If there's a personality who feels entitled,
that rejection would be actually worsened.
Maybe Ranae wanted more from Walter
or maybe was threatening to divulge the affair.
NARRATOR: Detectives dig deeper into Walter Fisk's whereabouts
on September 18th.
PERNICK: He picked up Ranae at 5 p.m.,
and while she got ready,
he vacuumed and took out the garbage.
They left the apartment at 6 p.m.
and drove out to a restaurant in
Royal Oak, where they stayed for 45 minutes.
They left, they got back to the apartment around 7 p.m.
They shared some wine, cocaine, and marijuana.
He said that he and Ranae had sex.
DAVIDS: He tells police he left
Ranae's apartment at approximately 8:15 p.m.
PERNICK: While he was driving home,
he called Ranae about 20 minutes
after he had left her apartment.
The conversation was brief, because Ranae said she was
on another call and ended the call with him.
He said that he arrived home at around 9 p.m.
DAVIDS: When he got home,
he called Ranae again,
but he only spoke to her briefly, because
she was on the phone with someone else.
NARRATOR: But Walter Fisk has no alibi between 9 p.m.
and September 18th
and 9:30 p.m. on September 19th,
when Ranae Chupick's body was discovered.
DAVIDS: Police began to wonder if he's telling the truth,
because he has a lot to hide in his personal life.
ARNTFIELD: Walter may have been motivated to commit violence
if this arrangement were to be made known to people
who could make life difficult for him.
If his existing relationship and the financial entanglements
that came with that were to fall apart,
what steps would he take to keep this affair secret?
NARRATOR: After Royal Oak, Michigan, police find single
mother, Ranae Chupick, murdered
detectives zero in on Walter Fisk,
her adulterous lover, as their prime suspect.
He says that he last spoke to her on the night of her murder,
which means he's a suspect, too.
DAVIDS: Did he really leave Ranae's apartment at 8 p.m.?
Or was he the one that really killed Ranae?
NARRATOR: Hoping to clear his name and keep his affair
with Ranae quiet,
Walter Fisk consents to forensic testing.
He agrees to provide a DNA sample,
and police photograph his hands and body.
He also gives the police his phone
so that they can examine it.
Although they cannot exclude this man as a suspect,
police continue following other
avenues of investigation, as well.
NARRATOR: Like Ranae's ex-boyfriend, Glen Deakins,
before, detectives don't eliminate
Walter Fisk entirely.
But neither of those previous lovers have the cell number
that matches the mysterious caller
who had talked to Ranae 11 times just
before she was killed.
As detectives pore over their file again for anything,
they may have overlooked,
[phone ringing]
one caller claims he has new information about Ranae.
He also says he's one more
former boyfriend turned friend of Ranae's,
Alan Abrams.
PERNICK: Police ask if they can meet him
in person for an interview, and he agrees.
NARRATOR: Detectives ask Alan Abrams, when was the last time
he saw Ranae?
DAVIDS: He last saw Ranae
two weeks before at her apartment.
He last spoke on the phone with her on September 10th,
9 days before the murder.
He tells police that he had tried to call Ranae a number of
times on Sunday, September 18th,
[phone ringing]
but that he was never able to get her on the phone.
[phone ringing]
He tried again on Monday, the next day, at around 10 a.m.,
[phone ringing]
but again, there was no answer.
[phone ringing]
DAVIDS: He tells police he was so eager
to reach her, because they
had a disagreement over
a payment she was supposed to receive for working at
a festival that he was running.
NARRATOR: And then Abrams brings up something
else from his past with Ranae.
He tells police about two or three incidents
that occurred while they were dating.
She'd get very drunk, get a steak knife from
the kitchen, and hold it down at her side.
He thought that Ranae would get
the knife in order to get his attention.
DAVIDS: Police wondered if this was actually the case,
if he's really telling the truth about Ranae
or that maybe this man
is more dangerous and went to her apartment to kill her.
NARRATOR: Suspicious that Alan Abrams
may be covering his tracks,
detectives consider whether he and Ranae may have
argued over the money he still owed her,
and then it turned violent.
If it's true, then detectives can prove it.
Alan Abrams agrees to provide his DNA,
his fingerprints, and his phone records for analysis.
PERNICK: Like the other ex-boyfriends,
police could not exclude this man as a suspect.
NARRATOR: But just like the others,
Abrams' cell number does not match the one that called
Ranae nearly a dozen times in the hour before her murder.
Not long after their interview with Abrams,
one frightened resident promises to
take the investigation in a whole new direction.
[phone ringing]
DAVIDS: Police receive a call from
a man who identifies himself as Kevin Kaminski.
PERNICK: He wants to tell them about a man named Chris Hearn.
Chris is a transient.
Chris Hearn told Kevin that he had
killed a woman named Ranae in self-defense
after she attacked him with a knife.
Kevin tells police that Chris threatened his life
if he repeated what Chris had said.
PERNICK: Police now redirect their investigative efforts
to Chris Hearn.
Police were able to pull up records from Chris Hearn,
and looking into his prior history,
police find that Chris Hearn has had a number of encounters
with law enforcement, including an assault case out of nearby
Livingston County.
NARRATOR: Chris Hearn is a man with a record.
Could also be the caller who
harassed Ranae just prior to her murder?
To find out, detectives try that
mysterious cell number one more time.
[phone ringing]
[cell phone rings]
PERNICK: Eventually, someone answers the phone,
and the man identifies it as belonging to Chris Hearn,
but that man is not Chris Hearn.
Police call the number again, and this time leave a message
on the phone asking Chris Hearn to call them immediately.
[phone ringing]
NARRATOR: Moments later, police get a call back,
[phone ringing]
but it's not the caller they were expecting.
PERNICK: A man identifies himself
as Chris Hearn's attorney
and says that he will get back to them
after he's had a chance to talk to his client.
ARNTFIELD: There's a host of reasons why
somebody would preemptively lawyer up, as they say.
It's due to a distrust of the police or concerns that
police may stumble into
something else they're involved in.
Of course, standard police thinking in many
cases is that only guilty people do this.
NARRATOR: In the homicide investigation of Royal Oak,
Michigan, hairdresser, Ranae Chupick,
a man named Kevin Kaminski claims that his acquaintance,
Chris Hearn, killed Ranae in self-defense.
PERNICK: Kevin said that Chris told him that he had
grabbed the knife
and stabbed Ranae in order to protect himself.
NARRATOR: But can investigators believe Kevin Kaminski's story?
For answers,
Police search for the transient, Chris Hearn.
They also bring in the man who claims Chris killed Ranae,
Kevin Kaminski.
PERNICK: Police ask Kevin Kaminski about Chris
and Chris's relationship with Ranae.
Kevin starts by saying that Chris was homeless
and that he had allowed Chris to live at his apartment.
Kevin knew of Chris's relationship with Ranae
from Chris, but Kevin had never met her.
Chris told him that he had met Ranae
at an unknown bar when he was 17
and that the two had dated the last seven years on and off.
NARRATOR: Investigators ask Kevin to describe Chris's
behavior the day after Ranae was killed.
PERNICK: Kevin tells police that Chris was typically outgoing
and friendly, but on that particular day,
Chris had stayed in his room and was quiet,
which to Kevin, was unusual.
Kevin says he confronted Chris about his unusual behavior.
Chris told him that he had gone
to Ranae's apartment expecting to have sex.
But when he got there, found that all Ranae
wanted to do was argue with him about the past,
and Chris was upset about it.
STOCKDALE: The age difference is certainly interesting,
because it could potentially
tell investigators what led to the murder.
Perhaps Chris felt that there was
a power imbalance that he wanted to rectify.
Perhaps there's an argument about that
power differential, and that goes wrong.
And so enough is enough.
NARRATOR: Detectives press Kevin more for what he knows about
the night Chris went to Ranae's apartment.
Kevin says, according to Chris,
as he and Ranae argued,
she went into the kitchen
and came after him with a wine bottle.
And then came at him with a knife.
After hearing this, Kevin said that he decided
to record anything that Chris
said on his phone in order to give it to the police
as evidence.
NARRATOR: Kaminski pulls out the recording of
the conversation he had with Chris.
Kevin tells police that he then asked about Ranae's death.
Chris admitted stabbing Ranae three times,
once on the neck and twice in the torso.
Chris tells Kevin he doesn't know what he's gonna do,
stay in town or run.
NARRATOR: Even if Kevin Kaminski's recording is
really Chris Hearn as he claims,
detectives still need to corroborate that with
forensic evidence or a confession from Chris himself,
and to get either one, police need to find him first,
if he's still in town.
Kaminski tells them to talk to Chris's friend, Derek Brown,
who may know more and where Chris is now.
Detectives track Derek down at a bar in town.
He doesn't know where Chris is now,
but he does know where Chris was on the night of the murder.
DAVIDS: Derek tells police that on September 18th,
he and Chris went to the Liberty Bar.
PERNICK: Derek told police that Chris received between 15 and 20
texts from Ranae from 9:30 till about 11:30.
Derek tells police that he dropped Chris off
at Ranae's apartment.
Chris told Derek that he would spend the night there.
DAVIDS: The next day, September 19th,
Derek receives a call at approximately 7:30 a.m.
asking him to pick up Chris at Ranae's apartment.
He had gotten into an argument with Ranae and had to leave.
Derek's confirmation that Chris Hearn was at Ranae Chupick's
apartment the night she was murdered is the corroboration
detectives need to charge Chris Hearn with murder.
Police finally catch up with Chris on
the street in Royal Oak and arrest him.
Detectives can now piece together the events that
led to the homicide of 41-year-old Ranae Chupick.
On September 18th at 9:30 p.m.,
Chris Hearn and Derek Brown arrive at Liberty Bar.
At 11:50 p.m.,
Derek drives Chris to Ranae's apartment.
DAVIDS: At 12:25 a.m.,
Chris Hearn calls Ranae.
She picks up and lets him in.
This is the last time Ranae ever picks up her phone.
PERNICK: Ranae and Chris talked
and drank
and then got into an argument about their past.
She went into the kitchen and then came at him with a knife.
Chris grabbed a hold of the knife.
He struggled with Ranae.
DAVIDS: In the early hours,
Chris stabs Ranae once in the neck...
and twice in the torso.
PERNICK: Chris Hearn murders Ranae Chupick.
NARRATOR: 24-year-old Chris Hearn is convicted of
second-degree murder and sentenced
to serve between 48 and 90 years for the homicide of
single mother, Ranae Chupick.
KLIMKOWSKI: The one thing that I would love for everybody
to remember about Ranae is that she loved unconditionally.
And I'm sad I didn't get to spend more time with her.
The family is always a big driver for me.
Uh, what does the family of the victim want to
come out of this, and whether they think that's justice.
Justice was done in this case.
