1 00:00:02,436 --> 00:00:05,178 He was well-spoken, charming, very good-looking. 2 00:00:05,222 --> 00:00:08,181 She was a very vibrant, beautiful personality, 3 00:00:08,225 --> 00:00:10,009 full of joy and laughter. 4 00:00:10,053 --> 00:00:12,011 They were a perfect pairing, 5 00:00:12,055 --> 00:00:14,013 bringing out the best in each other. 6 00:00:14,057 --> 00:00:16,885 Gretchen and David were madly in love 7 00:00:16,929 --> 00:00:19,627 and just living life to the fullest. 8 00:00:21,542 --> 00:00:23,718 But when cracks in the marriage collide 9 00:00:23,762 --> 00:00:26,199 head-on with a global pandemic-- 10 00:00:26,243 --> 00:00:28,158 They had just filed the divorce paperwork. 11 00:00:34,164 --> 00:00:36,209 People were getting texts from her phone 12 00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:38,472 saying that she had COVID. 13 00:00:38,516 --> 00:00:41,040 She was texting that she was on a ventilator. 14 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:43,869 Pretty sure you can't text when you're on a ventilator. 15 00:00:45,436 --> 00:00:47,916 The bond between two soulmates-- 16 00:00:48,308 --> 00:00:50,049 Where was Gretchen? 17 00:00:50,093 --> 00:00:51,181 No one knew. 18 00:00:51,224 --> 00:00:53,661 We found out he had a criminal past. 19 00:00:53,705 --> 00:00:56,925 There were things that he didn't want people to know. 20 00:00:57,317 --> 00:00:59,624 Turns into 21 00:00:59,667 --> 00:01:02,235 a killer relationship. 22 00:01:03,323 --> 00:01:04,933 This started to move fast, 23 00:01:04,977 --> 00:01:06,283 from a missing persons case 24 00:01:06,326 --> 00:01:08,502 to something a lot more sinister. 25 00:01:29,044 --> 00:01:31,569 I'm Faith Jenkins, and in my experience, 26 00:01:31,612 --> 00:01:33,962 both as a judge on "Divorce Court," 27 00:01:34,006 --> 00:01:36,269 and just observing my friends and family, 28 00:01:36,313 --> 00:01:39,533 the catalyst for many relationships is simple, 29 00:01:39,577 --> 00:01:42,667 an instant attraction between two people. 30 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:44,321 But love can be blind, 31 00:01:44,364 --> 00:01:47,976 and love can often cause a person to overlook issues 32 00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:50,718 and insecurities hiding below the surface 33 00:01:50,762 --> 00:01:54,244 of their new partner's charm and good looks. 34 00:01:55,158 --> 00:01:57,160 Take the case of Gretchen Crain, 35 00:01:57,203 --> 00:01:59,901 a beautiful teacher from Jupiter, Florida, 36 00:01:59,945 --> 00:02:01,207 and David Anthony, 37 00:02:01,251 --> 00:02:04,471 a handsome and charismatic personal trainer. 38 00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:06,778 When they first set eyes on each other 39 00:02:06,821 --> 00:02:08,780 one early morning at the gym, 40 00:02:08,823 --> 00:02:13,176 everyone around them can feel the electricity in the air. 41 00:02:18,355 --> 00:02:19,747 Gretchen first met David 42 00:02:19,791 --> 00:02:22,620 as we were both working out at the same time. 43 00:02:22,663 --> 00:02:26,145 David ended up training her for a few sessions, 44 00:02:26,189 --> 00:02:29,975 and you definitely watched the sparks fly 45 00:02:30,018 --> 00:02:33,587 and you saw quite a bit unfolding. 46 00:02:34,762 --> 00:02:36,242 Standing 6'7", 47 00:02:36,286 --> 00:02:38,810 David is a former college basketball player 48 00:02:38,853 --> 00:02:41,813 who idolizes Kobe Bryant. 49 00:02:41,856 --> 00:02:44,772 As a kid, David struggled with self-esteem issues 50 00:02:44,816 --> 00:02:46,121 and turned to physical fitness 51 00:02:46,165 --> 00:02:49,037 and self-help to gain confidence, 52 00:02:49,081 --> 00:02:53,607 eventually becoming a highly in-demand personal trainer. 53 00:02:55,043 --> 00:02:57,568 He was an integral part of the success of my studio 54 00:02:57,611 --> 00:02:58,830 in the beginning. 55 00:02:58,873 --> 00:03:02,050 He was very caring, and members loved him. 56 00:03:02,094 --> 00:03:03,878 David's a very charming individual, 57 00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:07,534 a big smile with a dimple, and great sense of humor, 58 00:03:07,578 --> 00:03:09,623 always very upbeat, high energy. 59 00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:11,495 So he's a very magnetic personality, 60 00:03:11,538 --> 00:03:13,584 and she was very drawn to that. 61 00:03:14,715 --> 00:03:17,805 David is drawn to Gretchen too, 62 00:03:17,849 --> 00:03:20,504 but there's just one problem. 63 00:03:20,939 --> 00:03:22,419 When they got together, 64 00:03:22,462 --> 00:03:24,290 Gretchen was actually married. 65 00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:27,162 She was married to a man named Jeffrey. 66 00:03:27,206 --> 00:03:30,035 Gretchen and Jeffrey married in 2007 67 00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:48,096 So Jeff absolutely met David, 68 00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:50,185 and I didn't have optics 69 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:52,797 on what was going on behind the scenes. 70 00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:57,889 I know she was unhappy, 71 00:03:57,932 --> 00:04:00,848 but she had a child with Jeff, 72 00:04:00,892 --> 00:04:02,589 and they were doing their best to make it work, 73 00:04:02,633 --> 00:04:04,417 but it ended up not working out, 74 00:04:04,461 --> 00:04:07,899 and that's when her and David became a couple. 75 00:04:07,942 --> 00:04:10,684 Gretchen's divorce from Jeffrey follows quickly, 76 00:04:10,728 --> 00:04:13,296 and they share custody of their young daughter. 77 00:04:13,339 --> 00:04:17,430 David Anthony steps up to become a bonus dad. 78 00:04:18,997 --> 00:04:22,609 I believe that all of them worked very carefully 79 00:04:22,653 --> 00:04:25,699 to focus on the daughter and making sure 80 00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:29,573 that she was well-adjusted to the situation. 81 00:04:30,661 --> 00:04:34,534 In 2015, three years after their first date, 82 00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:37,102 Gretchen and David tie the knot. 83 00:04:37,145 --> 00:04:39,234 Gretchen and David were madly in love 84 00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:43,587 and a beautiful couple and just living life to the fullest. 85 00:04:44,675 --> 00:04:46,329 David, the picture he painted, 86 00:04:46,372 --> 00:04:49,157 is the perfect relationship with Gretchen. 87 00:04:49,201 --> 00:04:51,899 He was healthy, happy. 88 00:04:51,943 --> 00:04:53,684 Until I got to know him more, 89 00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:55,903 you would think he was the ideal person. 90 00:04:57,252 --> 00:04:59,037 But a few years into their marriage, 91 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,388 the passion that Gretchen and David feel for each other 92 00:05:02,432 --> 00:05:04,172 begins to fade. 93 00:05:04,216 --> 00:05:06,392 David's hidden insecurities, 94 00:05:06,436 --> 00:05:08,916 stemming from low self-esteem as a kid, 95 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,355 have started creeping into the couple's everyday life. 96 00:05:12,703 --> 00:05:17,360 David is also prone to big and unpredictable mood swings. 97 00:05:17,403 --> 00:05:19,840 As I started to get to know David better, 98 00:05:19,884 --> 00:05:21,320 his moods would change. 99 00:05:21,364 --> 00:05:24,497 I could see there was a definite up and down. 100 00:05:24,541 --> 00:05:27,674 He became challenging, I would say, difficult. 101 00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:32,418 Thinking that a spiritual break 102 00:05:32,462 --> 00:05:35,378 might help get David into a better place, 103 00:05:35,421 --> 00:05:38,772 Gretchen arranges for a week-long trip together. 104 00:05:38,816 --> 00:05:41,775 David and Gretchen attended a yoga retreat 105 00:05:41,819 --> 00:05:44,430 in Maui, in Hawaii. 106 00:05:44,474 --> 00:05:47,128 And during the course of the retreat, 107 00:05:47,172 --> 00:05:51,437 David, at several times, had exhibited aberrant behavior, 108 00:05:51,481 --> 00:05:54,614 almost bordering on a psychotic episode, 109 00:05:54,658 --> 00:05:56,834 and at one point had to be separated 110 00:05:56,877 --> 00:06:00,011 from the rest of the group so that the organizers 111 00:06:00,054 --> 00:06:04,319 could both monitor him and individually counsel him. 112 00:06:09,847 --> 00:06:13,285 Then, in the spring of 2017, 113 00:06:13,328 --> 00:06:16,419 a sudden freak accident exacerbates 114 00:06:16,462 --> 00:06:20,031 David's struggle to maintain his emotional balance. 115 00:06:20,074 --> 00:06:23,077 David is home one day working on his truck 116 00:06:23,121 --> 00:06:25,036 when the jack slips. 117 00:06:27,778 --> 00:06:29,257 It was a traumatic brain injury, 118 00:06:29,301 --> 00:06:30,868 and Gretchen was right by his side, 119 00:06:30,911 --> 00:06:32,783 making sure that he was taken care of, 120 00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:36,482 and he had to do a lot of rehabilitation 121 00:06:36,526 --> 00:06:38,832 to get back to normal. 122 00:06:40,921 --> 00:06:43,010 I believe David struggled for a while 123 00:06:43,054 --> 00:06:46,057 because he was out of work due to the injury. 124 00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,320 That probably pushes 125 00:06:48,363 --> 00:06:51,976 those insecurity buttons again, 126 00:06:52,019 --> 00:06:56,023 and that's when he starts to really be erratic 127 00:06:56,067 --> 00:06:58,896 and his characteristics start to change 128 00:06:58,939 --> 00:07:01,028 and make it hard on their relationship. 129 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,205 Gretchen was telling me about his mood swings. 130 00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:05,772 I can relate to them. 131 00:07:05,816 --> 00:07:07,600 She was telling me that she tried to help 132 00:07:07,644 --> 00:07:10,864 manage his behaviors and she couldn't do it anymore. 133 00:07:10,908 --> 00:07:13,432 David seems to always be searching 134 00:07:13,476 --> 00:07:16,304 for some kind of spiritual anchor, 135 00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:18,132 but his attempts keep backfiring 136 00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:22,180 and serve only to alienate Gretchen even further. 137 00:07:22,223 --> 00:07:23,398 David was involved with something 138 00:07:23,442 --> 00:07:25,313 called gratitude training, 139 00:07:25,357 --> 00:07:27,620 which was a sort of a self-help group. 140 00:07:27,664 --> 00:07:31,145 And one night David was acting very erratically, 141 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:32,886 banging his head against the wall, 142 00:07:32,930 --> 00:07:35,715 might've been having a psychotic episode ... 143 00:07:36,673 --> 00:07:38,065 and he had a knife. 144 00:07:39,414 --> 00:07:40,894 The police got there and they found him pacing 145 00:07:40,938 --> 00:07:44,028 in the parking lot near his truck, saying, 146 00:07:44,071 --> 00:07:45,333 "Where's my support now? 147 00:07:45,377 --> 00:07:47,031 Where's my support now?" 148 00:07:47,074 --> 00:07:49,903 And they actually had trouble subduing him 149 00:07:49,947 --> 00:07:51,905 and getting the knife away from him, 150 00:07:51,949 --> 00:07:55,039 before they finally detained him. 151 00:07:57,345 --> 00:08:00,523 David was doing some self-exploration. 152 00:08:00,566 --> 00:08:02,525 And when you start doing personal development 153 00:08:02,568 --> 00:08:04,570 and you start peeling back the layers, 154 00:08:04,614 --> 00:08:07,486 it can be a wobbly space for a person. 155 00:08:11,621 --> 00:08:14,493 Gretchen, in texts with a friend, 156 00:08:14,537 --> 00:08:17,540 said that David had had lots of episodes 157 00:08:17,583 --> 00:08:19,977 of erratic behavior, short temper, 158 00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:22,066 and that she actually would watch him 159 00:08:22,109 --> 00:08:24,329 on the home security cameras 160 00:08:24,372 --> 00:08:26,331 and she would take a knife 161 00:08:26,374 --> 00:08:28,594 and put it under her pillow 162 00:08:28,638 --> 00:08:31,075 so that she could get some sleep. 163 00:08:33,991 --> 00:08:36,167 I think Gretchen tried to hold it together 164 00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:37,734 because she did love him, 165 00:08:37,777 --> 00:08:39,344 but enough is enough. 166 00:08:40,432 --> 00:08:42,565 In the fall of 2019, 167 00:08:42,608 --> 00:08:45,306 Gretchen files for a separation from David 168 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:47,526 and tells him to move out. 169 00:08:49,267 --> 00:08:52,836 David moves in with his mother, who lives nearby ... 170 00:08:53,793 --> 00:08:57,275 but he continues showing up at Gretchen's house. 171 00:08:59,625 --> 00:09:02,062 I think David probably would've started 172 00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:04,978 to potentially spiral at that point 173 00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:08,199 because he was losing the only thing he had 174 00:09:08,242 --> 00:09:10,288 that was propping him up. 175 00:09:10,810 --> 00:09:15,032 A few months later, on January 26th, 2020, 176 00:09:15,075 --> 00:09:17,687 the tragic death of David's sports hero 177 00:09:17,730 --> 00:09:21,604 sends him even further into a dark place. 178 00:09:21,647 --> 00:09:22,996 There's still smoke coming from the wreckage 179 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,434 in Calabasas, and already, here at the crash site, 180 00:09:26,478 --> 00:09:29,742 fans outnumber first responders. 181 00:09:30,613 --> 00:09:32,745 Kobe Bryant's death was definitely a trigger. 182 00:09:32,789 --> 00:09:35,095 I've never seen David behave the way he did. 183 00:09:35,139 --> 00:09:37,228 It was concerning. 184 00:09:38,011 --> 00:09:42,581 I came into work and he actually was talking to the members 185 00:09:42,625 --> 00:09:45,018 as if he was at a funeral, he was crying, 186 00:09:45,062 --> 00:09:49,153 he was giving a speech in the lobby about Kobe Bryant. 187 00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:53,374 On February 25th, I fired him, 188 00:09:53,418 --> 00:09:56,682 and that is the last time I ever heard from David Anthony. 189 00:09:58,815 --> 00:10:00,817 Tabitha Hopkins is concerned enough 190 00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:02,296 about David's state of mind 191 00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:05,778 that she immediately reaches out to Gretchen via text. 192 00:10:13,656 --> 00:10:17,703 Three days later, on February 28th, 2020, 193 00:10:17,747 --> 00:10:20,837 Gretchen files for divorce from David. 194 00:10:21,751 --> 00:10:24,231 When I found out that Gretchen filed for divorce, 195 00:10:24,275 --> 00:10:26,494 I even said to myself, "And I just fired him. 196 00:10:26,538 --> 00:10:28,061 This is a really bad week for him." 197 00:10:29,541 --> 00:10:31,064 As Gretchen and David 198 00:10:31,108 --> 00:10:33,763 bitterly negotiate the end of their marriage, 199 00:10:33,806 --> 00:10:36,679 news from the outside world is filled with stories 200 00:10:36,722 --> 00:10:39,464 about a highly contagious new virus, 201 00:10:39,507 --> 00:10:41,466 first reported in Wuhan, China. 202 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:42,815 Breaking news this morning, 203 00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,948 the World Health Organization has just declared 204 00:10:44,991 --> 00:10:47,602 coronavirus a global pandemic. 205 00:10:47,646 --> 00:10:50,867 New information on the latest beach closures in our area, 206 00:10:50,910 --> 00:10:54,914 beaches in Martin County closed to the public at sunset. 207 00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:56,133 We're going through a pandemic. 208 00:10:56,176 --> 00:10:58,744 There was complete chaos and panic. 209 00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:00,528 I said, "This is just unbelievable." 210 00:11:00,572 --> 00:11:02,574 Like, "It cannot get any worse." 211 00:11:04,924 --> 00:11:09,276 Tragically, things are about to get much worse 212 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,235 for Gretchen Anthony. 213 00:11:11,278 --> 00:11:13,280 People were getting texts from her phone 214 00:11:13,324 --> 00:11:16,501 saying that she had COVID and that she was going 215 00:11:16,544 --> 00:11:19,025 to an undisclosed COVID facility. 216 00:11:19,069 --> 00:11:20,679 The most alarming part for me was, 217 00:11:20,723 --> 00:11:22,942 she was texting that she was on a ventilator. 218 00:11:23,856 --> 00:11:26,293 Pretty sure you can't text when you're on a ventilator. 219 00:11:26,337 --> 00:11:27,642 I knew it was not good. 220 00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:46,836 We are still in the very early days of this, 221 00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:50,013 and so there are investigations that are evaluating 222 00:11:50,056 --> 00:11:53,233 how individuals were infected. 223 00:11:53,277 --> 00:11:56,715 Stay home, stay safe, to help prevent and stop 224 00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:59,109 the spread of COVID-19. 225 00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:02,199 We all remember the start of the pandemic, 226 00:12:02,242 --> 00:12:03,548 the uncertainty, 227 00:12:03,591 --> 00:12:05,245 fear, and chaos. 228 00:12:05,289 --> 00:12:08,727 Now, put yourself in Gretchen Anthony's shoes. 229 00:12:08,771 --> 00:12:10,468 On top of all of that, 230 00:12:10,511 --> 00:12:12,035 she's going through a divorce 231 00:12:12,078 --> 00:12:13,950 with her estranged husband, David, 232 00:12:13,993 --> 00:12:18,693 after five years of what had once been a loving marriage. 233 00:12:18,737 --> 00:12:20,043 If that isn't enough, 234 00:12:20,086 --> 00:12:22,393 Gretchen's health seems to take 235 00:12:22,436 --> 00:12:24,830 a frightful and sudden turn. 236 00:12:27,615 --> 00:12:29,922 Her family and friends started to receive 237 00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:32,229 these mysterious texts 238 00:12:32,272 --> 00:12:34,622 that said that she had coronavirus 239 00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:37,495 and that she had to self-quarantine. 240 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,845 This is something that is very real! 241 00:12:39,889 --> 00:12:41,804 This is March 2020. 242 00:12:42,108 --> 00:12:45,590 We know that this virus is deadly. 243 00:12:45,633 --> 00:12:48,462 All city residents should stay in their homes 244 00:12:48,506 --> 00:12:51,901 except to go out for essential activities. 245 00:12:51,944 --> 00:12:55,382 At this point, there are only a few thousand cases 246 00:12:55,426 --> 00:12:57,950 of COVID-19 in the U.S., 247 00:12:57,994 --> 00:13:02,085 but with so little understanding of the virus early on, 248 00:13:02,128 --> 00:13:05,218 every positive case is terrifying. 249 00:13:05,523 --> 00:13:09,614 Still, family and friends often have a sixth sense, 250 00:13:09,657 --> 00:13:12,399 and something just doesn't feel right 251 00:13:12,443 --> 00:13:14,706 about Gretchen's texts. 252 00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:19,667 Immediately, the red flags were enormous. 253 00:13:19,711 --> 00:13:21,887 People were getting texts from her phone 254 00:13:21,931 --> 00:13:23,889 saying that she had COVID, 255 00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:26,109 and none of the information 256 00:13:26,152 --> 00:13:28,676 being put out there was accurate. 257 00:13:29,547 --> 00:13:32,463 Her text messages had said that she was on a ventilator. 258 00:13:32,506 --> 00:13:35,031 Several members of her family and her friends 259 00:13:35,074 --> 00:13:37,076 did not think that the verbiage in the text message 260 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,122 sounded like her. 261 00:13:39,949 --> 00:13:41,428 The text messages were reporting 262 00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:44,127 that she had been taken to the Jupiter Medical Center, 263 00:13:44,170 --> 00:13:46,694 where she was later transferred to a 264 00:13:46,738 --> 00:13:49,959 CDC receiving facility out in Belle Glade. 265 00:13:50,655 --> 00:13:54,311 Belle Glade is about an hour away from Jupiter, 266 00:13:54,354 --> 00:13:57,749 and there is no CDC facility in Belle Glade. 267 00:13:59,185 --> 00:14:01,187 These texts raised enough red flags 268 00:14:01,231 --> 00:14:03,842 amongst her family and friends 269 00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:07,541 that they started to reach out to law enforcement. 270 00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:11,328 And now it's a missing persons case. 271 00:14:11,371 --> 00:14:14,418 Detectives went to Jupiter Medical Center 272 00:14:14,461 --> 00:14:17,290 in an effort to locate Gretchen Anthony. 273 00:14:18,988 --> 00:14:22,121 Her MINI Cooper was found in the parking lot. 274 00:14:22,426 --> 00:14:24,732 So folks reached out to the Jupiter Medical Center 275 00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:26,691 and they found that there was no record 276 00:14:26,734 --> 00:14:28,780 of Gretchen Anthony being there. 277 00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:33,437 That vehicle was towed to our impound investigation area 278 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,613 for further investigation. 279 00:14:36,005 --> 00:14:37,876 Law enforcement and those close to Gretchen 280 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,532 wonder if Gretchen is using the virus as a cover, 281 00:14:41,575 --> 00:14:44,622 a way to escape the drama with her ex, David, 282 00:14:44,665 --> 00:14:47,016 and just disappear for awhile. 283 00:14:47,059 --> 00:14:48,278 But the fact that Gretchen 284 00:14:48,321 --> 00:14:51,107 isn't in contact with her daughter 285 00:14:51,150 --> 00:14:53,805 is extremely troubling. 286 00:14:57,243 --> 00:15:00,246 The first place police will look in a missing persons case 287 00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:04,207 is someone's husband or ex-husband. 288 00:15:04,685 --> 00:15:07,297 We became very suspicious when we learned she was also 289 00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:11,214 scheduled to receive her daughter for visitation, 290 00:15:11,257 --> 00:15:14,869 and that never happened. 291 00:15:14,913 --> 00:15:18,525 Contact was made with her ex-husband Jeff, 292 00:15:18,569 --> 00:15:22,007 to confirm that their daughter was okay, 293 00:15:22,051 --> 00:15:23,617 which she was, and in speaking with Jeff, 294 00:15:23,661 --> 00:15:27,404 they learned that he, in fact, had also received 295 00:15:27,447 --> 00:15:31,495 these odd text messages from Gretchen's phone. 296 00:15:31,538 --> 00:15:34,628 Jeff went as far as calling the hospital, 297 00:15:34,672 --> 00:15:37,109 and responded via text that, 298 00:15:37,153 --> 00:15:38,806 "You are not at the hospital. 299 00:15:38,850 --> 00:15:41,157 What is going on?" 300 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,550 And so as part of this investigation, 301 00:15:43,594 --> 00:15:48,903 Jeff actually assisted with helping law enforcement. 302 00:15:49,469 --> 00:15:51,515 With concern growing by the hour, 303 00:15:51,558 --> 00:15:54,039 police arrive at Gretchen's Jupiter townhome 304 00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:55,998 to do a welfare check. 305 00:16:09,707 --> 00:16:11,752 So based upon those suspicious circumstances, 306 00:16:30,119 --> 00:16:32,904 There was some rags that had 307 00:16:32,947 --> 00:16:36,821 a blood-like substance on them in her washroom, 308 00:16:36,864 --> 00:16:39,693 which is adjacent to her kitchen. 309 00:16:42,348 --> 00:16:43,871 Even more disturbing, 310 00:16:43,915 --> 00:16:46,309 detectives discover that someone has 311 00:16:46,352 --> 00:16:48,311 ripped the security cameras 312 00:16:48,354 --> 00:16:50,095 right off the walls. 313 00:16:50,139 --> 00:16:51,792 But who? 314 00:16:51,836 --> 00:16:52,880 And why? 315 00:16:54,882 --> 00:16:57,015 While we didn't recover any cameras 316 00:16:57,059 --> 00:16:59,365 because they had all been removed from the house, 317 00:16:59,409 --> 00:17:03,587 the module receiver was left behind. 318 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,721 The wifi module gives detectives a ray of hope, 319 00:17:07,765 --> 00:17:10,898 as it's possible the recordings were uploaded to the cloud 320 00:17:10,942 --> 00:17:13,379 before the cameras were pulled down. 321 00:17:13,423 --> 00:17:15,555 A warrant is obtained to try and access 322 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,428 the footage from the security company. 323 00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:20,517 We believe this could be the key 324 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,520 to what happened at Gretchen's residence. 325 00:17:23,563 --> 00:17:25,130 When was the last time she was there? 326 00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:26,566 When did she leave? 327 00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:27,393 Did she leave alone? 328 00:17:27,437 --> 00:17:29,569 Was she with someone else? 329 00:17:30,222 --> 00:17:32,964 Next, investigators send the physical evidence 330 00:17:33,007 --> 00:17:36,141 collected from Gretchen's house out for testing, 331 00:17:36,185 --> 00:17:39,797 and ask the medical center to pull surveillance footage 332 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,060 from the hospital parking lot. 333 00:17:42,756 --> 00:17:44,236 While waiting for the video, 334 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,544 detectives reach out to Gretchen's estranged husband, 335 00:17:47,587 --> 00:17:50,068 but he's not answering their calls. 336 00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:52,549 We're still dealing with a situation 337 00:17:52,592 --> 00:17:57,249 where we haven't spoken to David. 338 00:17:57,293 --> 00:17:58,903 Could they have reconciled? 339 00:17:58,946 --> 00:18:01,079 Could they be somewhere together? 340 00:18:02,341 --> 00:18:03,777 Gretchen Anthony has been missing 341 00:18:03,821 --> 00:18:07,259 for several days when detectives are able to access 342 00:18:07,303 --> 00:18:11,263 the security cam footage from the hospital parking lot. 343 00:18:11,307 --> 00:18:14,005 The video is dark and grainy, 344 00:18:14,048 --> 00:18:17,791 but reveals some devastating information. 345 00:18:18,705 --> 00:18:20,316 Gretchen's vehicle 346 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,927 pulls into the Jupiter Medical Center parking lot, east lot, 347 00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:25,364 and parks in the space where it was later 348 00:18:25,408 --> 00:18:27,801 found by investigators. 349 00:18:27,845 --> 00:18:29,412 The surveillance camera footage 350 00:18:29,455 --> 00:18:31,370 at the hospital parking lot showed 351 00:18:31,414 --> 00:18:35,287 that she likely did not drive herself. 352 00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:38,812 The person who put her car in the parking lot 353 00:18:38,856 --> 00:18:40,771 of the Jupiter Medical Center 354 00:18:40,814 --> 00:18:42,207 was not Gretchen Anthony. 355 00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:54,698 Gretchen Anthony has been missing for three days, 356 00:18:54,741 --> 00:18:57,788 and her friends and family are worried sick. 357 00:18:58,484 --> 00:19:01,574 Then, Gretchen's car is found abandoned 358 00:19:01,618 --> 00:19:03,620 in a hospital parking lot, 359 00:19:03,663 --> 00:19:06,013 with no sign of her. 360 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,235 If I'm an investigator with Jupiter P.D., right about now, 361 00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:13,412 I am all over the ex-husband, David Anthony, 362 00:19:13,456 --> 00:19:17,547 and that's exactly where investigators wanna be. 363 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,244 But here's the deal, 364 00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:21,115 they can't find him. 365 00:19:21,159 --> 00:19:22,639 Where is David Anthony? 366 00:19:25,642 --> 00:19:28,601 Detectives go to David's mother's residence 367 00:19:28,645 --> 00:19:32,257 to speak with her, to see if she has any information 368 00:19:32,301 --> 00:19:34,607 as to where David is. 369 00:20:20,349 --> 00:20:23,917 He thought that everybody needed to pack up and leave, 370 00:20:23,961 --> 00:20:26,703 and he had made several phone calls to family and friends, 371 00:20:26,746 --> 00:20:29,096 trying to get them to move to Costa Rica with him, 372 00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:31,838 because he was paranoid about the coronavirus. 373 00:20:34,363 --> 00:20:36,669 There were a lot of unknowns at the time. 374 00:20:44,895 --> 00:20:46,244 Trying to locate David 375 00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:48,681 and prevent him from fleeing the country, 376 00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:51,684 investigators put out a nationwide alert 377 00:20:51,728 --> 00:20:53,425 with David's description. 378 00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:57,342 Next, they run his name through their databases. 379 00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:08,919 so he changed his name. 380 00:21:08,962 --> 00:21:12,052 There were things that he didn't want people to know. 381 00:21:12,096 --> 00:21:15,360 He was not the fun-loving, free-spirited, 382 00:21:15,404 --> 00:21:19,364 charismatic trainer that people knew as David Anthony. 383 00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:22,715 As David Deutsch, 384 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,457 he spent time in jail for holding up a video store 385 00:21:25,501 --> 00:21:27,938 and for assaulting a police officer. 386 00:21:28,634 --> 00:21:31,245 When I hired David, I did not know about his criminal past. 387 00:21:31,289 --> 00:21:33,987 I did not know that wasn't his name. 388 00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:37,774 Even doing a background check, it pulled up nothing. 389 00:21:39,558 --> 00:21:42,996 Because he changed his name legally, 390 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,563 there was no record of anything. 391 00:21:44,607 --> 00:21:47,653 It's as if I didn't know the real David. 392 00:21:50,134 --> 00:21:52,397 Detectives uncover an arrest report 393 00:21:52,441 --> 00:21:54,356 from an incident just seven days 394 00:21:54,399 --> 00:21:56,314 before Gretchen went missing. 395 00:21:56,358 --> 00:21:59,883 That night, police respond to calls about a man 396 00:21:59,926 --> 00:22:03,408 acting suspiciously and approaching teenage girls 397 00:22:03,452 --> 00:22:05,279 in a shopping mall parking lot. 398 00:22:07,499 --> 00:22:08,761 When the cops arrive, 399 00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,808 they find a man pacing back and forth 400 00:22:11,851 --> 00:22:13,940 in an agitated state. 401 00:22:20,077 --> 00:22:21,252 Get down! - Can I get up? 402 00:22:21,295 --> 00:22:23,123 - No! Get down! - I'm just standing up! 403 00:22:23,167 --> 00:22:24,951 Get down! 404 00:22:24,995 --> 00:22:26,605 It's David Anthony. 405 00:22:26,649 --> 00:22:28,651 - All right, all right -- - Get up, now! 406 00:22:29,521 --> 00:22:31,305 - All right, all right- - Get out! 407 00:22:31,349 --> 00:22:32,611 - All right- - Get out! 408 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,353 - Get outta the car! - Get- 409 00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:38,182 Got in his hands. 410 00:22:38,225 --> 00:22:40,619 Drop it! Drop it! Whatever it is, drop it! 411 00:22:40,663 --> 00:22:42,142 All right, all right, all right! 412 00:22:42,186 --> 00:22:43,448 - Drop it! - All right, all right! 413 00:22:43,492 --> 00:22:44,797 Stop resisting me! 414 00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:47,583 David was charged with resisting arrest, 415 00:22:47,626 --> 00:22:50,673 but he posted bail and was released. 416 00:22:50,716 --> 00:22:52,457 Seven days later, 417 00:22:52,501 --> 00:22:54,459 Gretchen went missing. 418 00:22:54,503 --> 00:22:58,550 And now, David is nowhere to be found. 419 00:23:00,422 --> 00:23:03,468 Police waste no time and obtain a search warrant 420 00:23:03,512 --> 00:23:05,775 for David's truck, his phone, 421 00:23:05,818 --> 00:23:07,167 and Gretchen's phone. 422 00:23:07,211 --> 00:23:10,649 At this point, investigators have no idea 423 00:23:10,693 --> 00:23:13,609 if Gretchen is dead or alive, 424 00:23:13,652 --> 00:23:16,133 but they are doing everything they can 425 00:23:16,176 --> 00:23:18,309 to try and track her down. 426 00:23:18,918 --> 00:23:21,834 And they believe that the key to finding Gretchen 427 00:23:21,878 --> 00:23:24,097 is to first find David. 428 00:23:24,141 --> 00:23:26,099 As we're tracking David, 429 00:23:26,143 --> 00:23:30,016 we're able to see his travel path. 430 00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:32,541 Interestingly enough, 431 00:23:32,584 --> 00:23:35,413 Gretchen's cell phone is also pinging 432 00:23:35,457 --> 00:23:39,286 on the same travel path as David's phone. 433 00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:42,202 So we have evidence to suggest Gretchen, 434 00:23:42,246 --> 00:23:44,901 or at the very least, her phone, 435 00:23:44,944 --> 00:23:46,642 is with David. 436 00:23:57,261 --> 00:23:58,697 The hunt is on for David Anthony, 437 00:23:58,741 --> 00:24:02,527 and we are working days behind him. 438 00:24:02,571 --> 00:24:06,096 He is very much so ahead of us. 439 00:24:06,705 --> 00:24:08,011 Pings from David's phone 440 00:24:08,054 --> 00:24:11,580 are traced to a pawn shop in Gulf Breeze, Florida, 441 00:24:11,623 --> 00:24:14,191 600 miles north of Jupiter. 442 00:24:14,539 --> 00:24:17,542 The pawn shop owner is able to identify David 443 00:24:17,586 --> 00:24:19,413 as being there that day, 444 00:24:19,457 --> 00:24:22,547 and there's surveillance video to prove it, 445 00:24:22,591 --> 00:24:24,767 but there's no sign of Gretchen. 446 00:24:25,419 --> 00:24:29,380 We interviewed the owner of the pawn shop. 447 00:24:29,423 --> 00:24:31,643 In the video surveillance, you can see David 448 00:24:31,687 --> 00:24:34,733 enter the store with his dog Kobe, 449 00:24:34,777 --> 00:24:38,607 and he told them that he was selling jewelry 450 00:24:38,650 --> 00:24:42,872 from a family member who had actually died from COVID-19. 451 00:24:44,613 --> 00:24:46,919 As David gets rid of what detectives fear 452 00:24:46,963 --> 00:24:50,096 are Gretchen's most valued possessions, 453 00:24:50,140 --> 00:24:54,753 investigators ask themselves 454 00:24:54,797 --> 00:24:57,451 "Did he get rid of Gretchen as well?" 455 00:24:59,932 --> 00:25:01,760 You wanna be positive, you want to think 456 00:25:01,804 --> 00:25:04,110 that everything really is okay. 457 00:25:04,154 --> 00:25:07,461 Like maybe she's harmed, but she's going to be okay. 458 00:25:07,505 --> 00:25:08,985 You still wanna think, well, maybe, 459 00:25:09,028 --> 00:25:10,552 if we can find her, 460 00:25:10,595 --> 00:25:11,683 we can save her. 461 00:25:12,684 --> 00:25:14,425 He left a digital footprint, 462 00:25:14,468 --> 00:25:18,560 and it was a chase to track down David Anthony. 463 00:25:27,917 --> 00:25:31,050 Gretchen Anthony, a loving and devoted mom, 464 00:25:31,094 --> 00:25:33,357 is missing from her Florida home, 465 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,447 and police suspect her estranged husband, David, 466 00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:38,014 is responsible. 467 00:25:38,754 --> 00:25:41,017 But they still can't be certain. 468 00:25:42,148 --> 00:25:44,629 Could Gretchen still be alive? 469 00:25:44,673 --> 00:25:47,153 Both David and Gretchen's cell phones 470 00:25:47,197 --> 00:25:49,765 are being tracked and are on the move, 471 00:25:49,808 --> 00:25:52,855 heading west across Texas in David's truck. 472 00:25:56,423 --> 00:25:58,425 We know from speaking with his mother, 473 00:26:16,095 --> 00:26:20,143 we were able to pinpoint an area where he was. 474 00:26:20,186 --> 00:26:24,538 We were able to track their telephones to Pecos, Texas. 475 00:26:24,582 --> 00:26:28,064 And we learned that after going from Pecos, Texas, 476 00:26:28,107 --> 00:26:30,675 he then travels to New Mexico, 477 00:26:30,719 --> 00:26:32,503 Las Cruces, New Mexico. 478 00:26:34,461 --> 00:26:39,075 I then spoke to an investigator in Las Cruces, 479 00:26:39,118 --> 00:26:41,164 asked for his assistance. 480 00:26:41,207 --> 00:26:44,994 I made them aware of the circumstances of this case. 481 00:26:45,472 --> 00:26:47,039 On March 28th, 482 00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:50,782 a week after Gretchen Anthony is last seen alive, 483 00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:54,351 David Anthony's truck is spotted in Las Cruces, 484 00:26:54,394 --> 00:26:57,528 nearly 2,000 miles away from Gretchen's home 485 00:26:57,571 --> 00:26:58,921 in Jupiter, Florida. 486 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,057 The police officers in New Mexico 487 00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:18,114 We had issued a BOLO for his vehicle, 488 00:27:18,157 --> 00:27:19,550 a Be on the Lookout. 489 00:27:19,593 --> 00:27:23,162 And shortly after, patrol units located David 490 00:27:23,206 --> 00:27:24,555 driving his truck on the highway, 491 00:27:24,598 --> 00:27:27,253 and they conducted a felony stop on his car. 492 00:27:55,934 --> 00:27:58,632 The officers had copies of our police reports, 493 00:27:58,676 --> 00:28:02,027 so they were well-educated on what we were dealing with. 494 00:28:10,253 --> 00:28:12,385 David said that he didn't have any information, 495 00:28:12,429 --> 00:28:14,823 that he had not spoken to Gretchen 496 00:28:14,866 --> 00:28:17,303 and he did not know her whereabouts. 497 00:28:18,174 --> 00:28:21,394 With David's denials and no body found, 498 00:28:21,438 --> 00:28:23,005 police don't have enough evidence 499 00:28:23,048 --> 00:28:26,356 to charge David with any crime. 500 00:28:28,314 --> 00:28:30,664 This was a difficult time because it was the first time 501 00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:33,406 that somebody had actually laid eyes on David Anthony, 502 00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:36,235 and we knew that he was the main suspect 503 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,455 in our investigation ... 504 00:28:40,022 --> 00:28:42,851 but we didn't have quite enough information 505 00:28:42,894 --> 00:28:44,374 for the arrest warrant yet, 506 00:28:44,417 --> 00:28:46,985 so it was extremely hard to see 507 00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:49,292 that law enforcement had him in custody, 508 00:28:49,335 --> 00:28:50,641 but we had to let him go. 509 00:28:53,209 --> 00:28:56,212 But they did have the lawful authority 510 00:28:56,255 --> 00:28:58,954 to confiscate his vehicle 511 00:28:58,997 --> 00:29:01,783 and all of the contents within. 512 00:29:02,305 --> 00:29:06,439 At this point, we only have a search warrant for his vehicle. 513 00:29:12,663 --> 00:29:14,926 All of his property was inside of the truck, 514 00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:18,408 including all of the cell phones that he had been utilizing. 515 00:29:21,454 --> 00:29:23,021 Back home in Florida, 516 00:29:23,065 --> 00:29:26,242 Gretchen's family and friends are trying to stay positive, 517 00:29:39,951 --> 00:29:41,692 exactly what happened to her. 518 00:29:41,735 --> 00:29:45,696 I just knew in my gut something horrible had happened, 519 00:29:45,739 --> 00:29:49,308 and so help me if he hurt her, 520 00:29:49,352 --> 00:29:53,356 because she didn't deserve that. 521 00:29:57,316 --> 00:29:59,710 I was determined that Detective Kenerson and I 522 00:29:59,753 --> 00:30:03,975 were going to fly out to Las Cruces, New Mexico 523 00:30:04,019 --> 00:30:07,849 to secure the truck and tow it back 524 00:30:07,892 --> 00:30:10,852 to Jupiter Police Department as part of our case, 525 00:30:10,895 --> 00:30:13,289 since it was needed as evidence. 526 00:30:15,334 --> 00:30:16,858 It was a very eerie time. 527 00:30:16,901 --> 00:30:19,773 We weren't sure how we were gonna get out to New Mexico. 528 00:30:19,817 --> 00:30:23,386 The country was still being shut down because of COVID-19. 529 00:30:23,429 --> 00:30:26,519 We weren't sure if we were gonna have to drive out there, 530 00:30:26,563 --> 00:30:28,957 or if we were even gonna be able to find 531 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,655 a flight to take us there. 532 00:30:32,612 --> 00:30:35,180 It was a very strange time in the country. 533 00:30:35,615 --> 00:30:37,748 As Detectives Kenerson and Sanders, 534 00:30:37,791 --> 00:30:40,882 back in Florida, scramble to figure out how to get 535 00:30:40,925 --> 00:30:44,711 to New Mexico while David's trail is still warm, 536 00:30:44,755 --> 00:30:47,062 Kenerson is flabbergasted when his phone lights up 537 00:30:47,105 --> 00:30:50,892 with a call from none other than David Anthony. 538 00:30:53,198 --> 00:30:56,593 He was calling me from New Mexico. 539 00:30:57,986 --> 00:31:01,467 According to him, he's speaking on behalf of Gretchen. 540 00:31:22,271 --> 00:31:25,317 Nine days, 541 00:31:25,361 --> 00:31:26,753 that's how long it's been 542 00:31:26,797 --> 00:31:30,932 since anyone has seen or heard from Gretchen Anthony, 543 00:31:30,975 --> 00:31:35,327 except for some very strangely-worded text messages. 544 00:31:35,371 --> 00:31:37,677 Her estranged husband David, 545 00:31:37,721 --> 00:31:40,942 who was now the prime suspect in her disappearance, 546 00:31:40,985 --> 00:31:41,986 has fled. 547 00:31:42,030 --> 00:31:45,120 He's in New Mexico with her phone. 548 00:31:46,077 --> 00:31:50,734 But on March 29th, 2020, he surprises detectives. 549 00:31:50,995 --> 00:31:52,518 They're back in Jupiter, Florida, 550 00:31:52,562 --> 00:31:56,000 and they receive an unexpected phone call, 551 00:31:56,044 --> 00:31:59,743 and an even more unexpected accusation. 552 00:32:20,198 --> 00:32:23,201 According to him, she uncovered information 553 00:32:23,245 --> 00:32:26,552 about their business which was unfavorable to them, 554 00:32:26,596 --> 00:32:29,425 and someone may be after her because of that. 555 00:32:29,468 --> 00:32:30,730 He indicated during the interview 556 00:32:30,774 --> 00:32:32,384 that he was trying to protect her, 557 00:32:32,428 --> 00:32:33,864 but I wasn't buying that. 558 00:32:33,907 --> 00:32:36,301 Detective Kenerson contacted the local state agencies 559 00:32:36,345 --> 00:32:38,608 and found out that there was no complaint 560 00:32:38,651 --> 00:32:40,914 ever filed by Gretchen Anthony. 561 00:32:42,699 --> 00:32:45,745 So, is David an innocent man, 562 00:32:45,789 --> 00:32:49,053 or a brazen killer playing games with the police? 563 00:32:49,097 --> 00:32:53,275 Investigators actually get their answer the very next day. 564 00:32:53,710 --> 00:32:57,409 They finally have access to the video 565 00:32:57,453 --> 00:32:59,498 from Gretchen's security cameras. 566 00:33:02,414 --> 00:33:05,591 You're able to see the tall, dark figure. 567 00:33:05,635 --> 00:33:07,767 That person appears in Gretchen's porch 568 00:33:07,811 --> 00:33:10,770 around 6:06 a.m. 569 00:33:10,814 --> 00:33:12,642 He had had something in his hands 570 00:33:12,685 --> 00:33:16,037 that we later determined was duct tape. 571 00:33:16,994 --> 00:33:21,955 He was going from side to side in the porch, 572 00:33:21,999 --> 00:33:24,610 until approximately 6:13, 573 00:33:34,664 --> 00:33:37,101 Her screams are being muffled. 574 00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:39,799 And then the next video clip I see, 575 00:33:39,843 --> 00:33:43,020 I see that her blonde hair is now bloody. 576 00:33:44,239 --> 00:33:47,633 We can clearly see that there is a 577 00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:50,245 body on the floor that's not moving. 578 00:33:50,288 --> 00:33:53,248 We now know for certain that Gretchen is dead. 579 00:33:55,946 --> 00:33:58,644 And we see this person walk by, 580 00:33:58,688 --> 00:33:59,863 and they turn around, 581 00:33:59,906 --> 00:34:03,084 and they look directly into the camera. 582 00:34:04,650 --> 00:34:05,869 And that person 583 00:34:05,912 --> 00:34:07,740 was David Anthony. 584 00:34:11,527 --> 00:34:14,660 The investigation quickly shifted to a homicide. 585 00:34:15,444 --> 00:34:18,664 There's also chilling audio 586 00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:21,232 of Gretchen's final words ... 587 00:34:22,538 --> 00:34:25,584 a desperate plea to summon help. 588 00:34:29,762 --> 00:34:33,288 We were able to get evidence of commands 589 00:34:33,331 --> 00:34:38,467 that Gretchen made to her Alexa device. 590 00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:40,033 And there were a couple of times 591 00:34:40,077 --> 00:34:45,038 that Gretchen actually yelled out for Alexa to call 911. 592 00:34:49,304 --> 00:34:52,133 But sadly, Gretchen never programmed 593 00:34:52,176 --> 00:34:55,005 her device to raise the alarm. 594 00:34:55,048 --> 00:34:56,702 At least now, though, 595 00:34:56,746 --> 00:34:58,530 detectives have what they need 596 00:34:58,574 --> 00:35:01,620 to apprehend David Anthony. 597 00:35:01,664 --> 00:35:04,710 I think it was definitely a premeditated crime. 598 00:35:04,754 --> 00:35:07,452 There was absolutely no reason 599 00:35:07,496 --> 00:35:11,761 for David to be at Gretchen's residence. 600 00:35:11,804 --> 00:35:16,200 And to see the way he lurked on her patio 601 00:35:16,244 --> 00:35:18,898 before she came outside was chilling. 602 00:35:19,116 --> 00:35:20,726 He went there with a purpose, 603 00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:23,164 and he went there and he completed it. 604 00:35:24,034 --> 00:35:26,776 We were able to obtain a warrant for his arrest 605 00:35:26,819 --> 00:35:30,083 and for second-degree murder and kidnapping. 606 00:35:30,823 --> 00:35:33,565 We were able to book a flight. 607 00:35:33,609 --> 00:35:36,394 We flew out to New Mexico. 608 00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:38,657 Our biggest fear, flying out to New Mexico, 609 00:35:38,701 --> 00:35:41,965 was that we weren't gonna be able to find David Anthony. 610 00:35:43,445 --> 00:35:45,098 We didn't know where he was staying. 611 00:35:45,142 --> 00:35:46,404 He didn't have any money. 612 00:35:46,448 --> 00:35:49,146 He didn't have his truck any longer. 613 00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:51,888 Everybody was working nonstop, 614 00:35:51,931 --> 00:35:54,238 just patrolling the streets, 615 00:35:54,282 --> 00:35:56,414 checking all of the homeless camps, 616 00:35:56,458 --> 00:35:57,807 all of the back alleys. 617 00:35:57,850 --> 00:35:59,243 We were about to pack it up 618 00:35:59,287 --> 00:36:01,419 when one of the investigators called me and said, 619 00:36:01,463 --> 00:36:03,987 "Hey, we found him at a gas station." 620 00:36:05,945 --> 00:36:07,817 Around midnight, he was spotted walking 621 00:36:07,860 --> 00:36:10,950 into a convenience store with his dog, Kobe. 622 00:36:12,387 --> 00:36:14,737 Detective Kenerson races to the location 623 00:36:14,780 --> 00:36:16,173 where David was spotted 624 00:36:16,217 --> 00:36:20,351 and pulls up to find David still in the parking lot. 625 00:36:47,987 --> 00:36:49,815 Watching the interrogation video, 626 00:36:49,859 --> 00:36:52,035 David seems almost believable, 627 00:36:52,078 --> 00:36:54,951 but still, 11 days after Gretchen Anthony 628 00:36:54,994 --> 00:36:57,083 was murdered in her garage, 629 00:36:57,127 --> 00:36:59,956 David Anthony is taken into custody. 630 00:37:24,067 --> 00:37:25,851 There was no responsibility, no remorse. 631 00:37:25,895 --> 00:37:29,507 It was a guy who still thought he could get away with it. 632 00:37:34,033 --> 00:37:36,775 He kept repeating over and over again 633 00:37:36,819 --> 00:37:38,342 that Gretchen was still alive, 634 00:37:38,386 --> 00:37:40,039 that there was nothing wrong with her, 635 00:37:40,083 --> 00:37:41,432 that she was safe. 636 00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:44,261 Detectives then present David 637 00:37:44,305 --> 00:37:47,482 with something he had no idea was coming, 638 00:37:47,525 --> 00:37:50,572 the surveillance footage from Gretchen's garage. 639 00:38:23,648 --> 00:38:26,172 Did he take Gretchen with him on his travel path? 640 00:38:26,216 --> 00:38:28,653 Did he bury her somewhere along the highway? 641 00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:32,178 Did he find some desolate area to put her body? 642 00:38:32,222 --> 00:38:33,528 Where was Gretchen? 643 00:38:33,919 --> 00:38:34,920 No one knew ... 644 00:38:36,618 --> 00:38:38,141 except for David. 645 00:38:45,801 --> 00:38:48,978 I know the burden of proof is heavy for the death penalty, 646 00:38:49,021 --> 00:38:50,675 which is what David Anthony faces 647 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,069 when he's extradited back to Florida 648 00:38:53,112 --> 00:38:55,767 and charged with first-degree murder. 649 00:38:56,768 --> 00:38:59,858 Without a body, though, it'll be a tough case. 650 00:38:59,902 --> 00:39:02,731 I keep asking myself one question, 651 00:39:02,774 --> 00:39:05,647 how could David Anthony have ended the life 652 00:39:05,690 --> 00:39:09,346 of a woman who he'd once loved so deeply? 653 00:39:10,608 --> 00:39:14,786 She was a radiant, beautiful human being, 654 00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:19,878 and it's very hard to believe that somebody that you had 655 00:39:19,922 --> 00:39:22,403 a decade-long relationship with 656 00:39:22,446 --> 00:39:23,839 would kill you. 657 00:39:24,666 --> 00:39:27,495 The family of Gretchen Anthony 658 00:39:27,538 --> 00:39:30,672 wanted a proper burial for Gretchen, 659 00:39:30,715 --> 00:39:32,804 they wanted closure. 660 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,199 And they wanted to know where her body was. 661 00:39:36,242 --> 00:39:39,115 And the only person who knew that was David Anthony. 662 00:39:45,295 --> 00:39:46,688 We were able to work out a deal 663 00:39:46,731 --> 00:39:50,126 where he would serve 38 years in prison, 664 00:39:50,169 --> 00:39:54,826 on the condition that he told us where Gretchen was. 665 00:39:55,523 --> 00:39:58,743 On December 21st, 2020, 666 00:39:58,787 --> 00:40:02,747 nine months to the day since Gretchen went missing, 667 00:40:02,791 --> 00:40:07,839 David Anthony pleads guilty to second-degree murder. 668 00:40:07,883 --> 00:40:13,062 And he finally reveals where Gretchen's body can be found. 669 00:40:14,367 --> 00:40:15,673 He had buried Gretchen 670 00:40:15,717 --> 00:40:20,417 at a assisted living facility on their grounds. 671 00:40:20,896 --> 00:40:24,334 There was a large empty field, 672 00:40:24,377 --> 00:40:27,293 and there was even a shovel 673 00:40:27,337 --> 00:40:29,948 that was leaning against a tree. 674 00:40:32,298 --> 00:40:34,387 It was hiding in plain sight. 675 00:40:35,258 --> 00:40:37,565 It's a solemn day when Jupiter police 676 00:40:37,608 --> 00:40:40,611 finally recover Gretchen's remains. 677 00:40:41,177 --> 00:40:44,006 So the family was able to get their closure, 678 00:40:44,049 --> 00:40:45,660 proper burial, 679 00:40:45,703 --> 00:40:48,706 and a measure of justice in the end. 680 00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:50,926 An autopsy reveals 681 00:40:50,969 --> 00:40:54,407 how the mom with so much to live for 682 00:40:54,451 --> 00:40:57,541 died fighting for her life. 683 00:40:57,585 --> 00:41:01,023 Gretchen sustained multiple stab wounds. 684 00:41:01,066 --> 00:41:03,286 She actually had some injuries 685 00:41:03,329 --> 00:41:06,202 that were described as defensive wounds, 686 00:41:06,245 --> 00:41:08,857 so she fought back. 687 00:41:10,902 --> 00:41:12,861 At David Anthony's sentencing hearing, 688 00:41:12,904 --> 00:41:15,603 Gretchen's sister Sarah is given the chance 689 00:41:15,646 --> 00:41:17,996 to share the family's pain 690 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,999 and confront her sister's killer. 691 00:41:55,425 --> 00:41:56,687 We don't know if his motive 692 00:41:56,731 --> 00:42:00,212 was to steal her jewelry and her bank accounts 693 00:42:00,256 --> 00:42:03,476 to support his traveling to Costa Rica, 694 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,740 or if it was a crime of passion. 695 00:42:08,090 --> 00:42:09,613 I feel that Gretchen did everything 696 00:42:09,657 --> 00:42:10,875 that she was supposed to do. 697 00:42:10,919 --> 00:42:12,616 She did love him and she wanted to help him. 698 00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:14,052 Gretchen was a fixer. 699 00:42:14,096 --> 00:42:16,098 She wanted to make David better! 700 00:42:16,141 --> 00:42:19,449 And I said to her, "You can't fix him," 701 00:42:19,492 --> 00:42:21,277 but she wanted to. 702 00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:23,758 And it's heartbreaking, 703 00:42:23,801 --> 00:42:25,194 it really is. 704 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,287 Gretchen Crain fell for David Anthony 705 00:42:31,330 --> 00:42:33,768 pretty much the moment she set eyes on him, 706 00:42:33,811 --> 00:42:36,727 and no doubt, he fell just as hard for her. 707 00:42:36,771 --> 00:42:38,773 I've seen many couples in "Divorce Court" 708 00:42:38,816 --> 00:42:41,384 whose first encounter was just like this, 709 00:42:41,427 --> 00:42:42,646 and when it doesn't work out, 710 00:42:42,690 --> 00:42:45,649 they're able to separate and move on. 711 00:42:45,693 --> 00:42:47,782 But David hid crushing self-doubt 712 00:42:47,825 --> 00:42:49,958 behind a facade of positive thinking 713 00:42:50,001 --> 00:42:53,396 and a relentless pursuit of physical well-being. 714 00:42:53,439 --> 00:42:55,485 And when he couldn't hide it any longer, 715 00:42:55,528 --> 00:43:00,577 his smoldering rage turned him into a cold-blooded killer. 716 00:43:00,621 --> 00:43:03,885 David's mind got so twisted that killing Gretchen 717 00:43:03,928 --> 00:43:07,410 somehow became his solution to losing her. 718 00:43:07,453 --> 00:43:10,718 It's hard for me to understand David's brutal actions, 719 00:43:10,761 --> 00:43:13,329 and I'm sure it's still incomprehensible 720 00:43:13,372 --> 00:43:14,983 for Gretchen's loved ones. 721 00:43:15,026 --> 00:43:18,900 Still, there is some comfort knowing that David Anthony 722 00:43:18,943 --> 00:43:21,990 will spend the rest of his life in prison, 723 00:43:22,033 --> 00:43:25,558 and hope that Gretchen's positive spirit lives on 724 00:43:25,602 --> 00:43:27,909 in those who knew and loved her.
