1 00:00:01,653 --> 00:00:06,397 They met on a night on the town here in Orlando. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,225 It's happened to many of us, 3 00:00:08,268 --> 00:00:10,314 that exhilarating feeling. 4 00:00:10,357 --> 00:00:13,099 Love at first sight can be real. 5 00:00:14,579 --> 00:00:17,234 She was just so enamored with him. 6 00:00:17,277 --> 00:00:20,063 She was like the best thing that ever happened to him. 7 00:00:21,542 --> 00:00:25,068 Two people make an instant connection. 8 00:00:25,111 --> 00:00:28,114 He buys her gifts and he makes her feel special. 9 00:00:28,158 --> 00:00:30,247 "This is the right guy for me." 10 00:00:30,725 --> 00:00:33,119 But that initial spark 11 00:00:33,163 --> 00:00:36,166 doesn't always mean it will last forever. 12 00:00:36,209 --> 00:00:38,646 Their relationship went from calm to stormy. 13 00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:41,127 It's like, everything have changed. 14 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:45,175 And when that attraction leads to obsession... 15 00:00:45,697 --> 00:00:46,959 Who was the target? 16 00:00:47,002 --> 00:00:48,613 We have two victims here. 17 00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:51,137 It can quickly turn into... 18 00:00:51,181 --> 00:00:53,748 I think that all equal cold-blooded. 19 00:00:53,792 --> 00:00:56,099 A killer relationship. 20 00:01:09,547 --> 00:01:11,288 When we hear love at first sight, 21 00:01:11,331 --> 00:01:14,334 we often think that a future together is meant to be. 22 00:01:14,378 --> 00:01:17,685 As if an attraction that immediate and powerful 23 00:01:36,313 --> 00:01:41,405 That two young lives will be senselessly lost forever. 24 00:01:44,669 --> 00:01:48,194 It's a warm August night in 2006, 25 00:01:48,238 --> 00:01:51,806 26-year-old Griselda Cassamajor is out with friends 26 00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:55,288 partying at one of her favorite Orlando hotspots. 27 00:01:55,897 --> 00:01:57,638 She was really tall. 28 00:01:57,682 --> 00:02:00,032 She had a beautiful skin complexion. 29 00:02:00,075 --> 00:02:02,252 Very confident in herself. 30 00:02:02,295 --> 00:02:04,341 She was always gonna look her best 31 00:02:04,384 --> 00:02:06,212 and she's gonna smell amazing. 32 00:02:06,256 --> 00:02:08,475 She definitely was like the queen of self-care. 33 00:02:08,519 --> 00:02:10,477 Like, she was your girly girl. 34 00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:12,740 A beautiful woman, very outgoing, 35 00:02:12,784 --> 00:02:15,439 and full of energy. 36 00:02:15,482 --> 00:02:17,136 Any man that will see Griselda 37 00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:20,226 will wanna approach her and talk to her. 38 00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:21,749 That night at the club, 39 00:02:21,793 --> 00:02:25,797 that's precisely what 27-year-old Drinel Joseph does. 40 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,061 One of her things is tall, fit guys. 41 00:02:29,104 --> 00:02:31,455 And I think that was what it was about him. 42 00:02:32,325 --> 00:02:33,674 He was attractive. 43 00:02:33,718 --> 00:02:36,851 She just thought he was just such a charming guy. 44 00:02:36,895 --> 00:02:37,809 He dressed nice. 45 00:02:37,852 --> 00:02:38,853 He smelled good. 46 00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:40,333 He was so cool. 47 00:02:40,377 --> 00:02:42,683 She goes like, "Hey, I met this guy named Drinel 48 00:02:42,727 --> 00:02:45,164 and he's really nice." 49 00:02:45,208 --> 00:02:47,688 I'm pretty sure when Drinel laid eyes on her, 50 00:02:47,732 --> 00:02:50,256 he was like, "Hey, this is a catch." 51 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,040 A flurry of texts back and forth 52 00:02:52,084 --> 00:02:54,042 between Griselda and Drinel 53 00:02:54,086 --> 00:02:56,393 leads quickly to their first date, 54 00:02:56,436 --> 00:02:58,656 which leads to a second night out, 55 00:02:58,699 --> 00:03:00,005 and, before long, 56 00:03:00,048 --> 00:03:02,703 the couple is seeing each other whenever possible. 57 00:03:02,747 --> 00:03:05,315 They bond over their shared backgrounds 58 00:03:05,358 --> 00:03:07,360 as they're both of Haitian descent. 59 00:03:07,404 --> 00:03:11,408 Although Griselda grew up in the Dominican Republic. 60 00:03:11,451 --> 00:03:15,325 Griselda was between 19 and 21 when she moved stateside. 61 00:03:15,368 --> 00:03:19,851 She moved here to pursue just a better life. 62 00:03:19,894 --> 00:03:23,637 We have family here, so it was easy transition for her. 63 00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:27,293 Griselda is actually my cousin. 64 00:03:27,337 --> 00:03:30,122 So, it was like having an older sister. 65 00:03:30,427 --> 00:03:33,081 When that older sister meets Drinel, 66 00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,606 Daphney knows this relationship, 67 00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:37,825 this one is something different. 68 00:03:38,261 --> 00:03:40,263 She was just so enamored with him. 69 00:03:40,306 --> 00:03:43,309 And he bragged about how beautiful she was 70 00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:44,919 and how she was like the best thing 71 00:03:44,963 --> 00:03:46,181 that ever happened to him. 72 00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:48,532 They were the perfect match. 73 00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:50,621 He would buy her flowers. 74 00:03:50,664 --> 00:03:54,538 He buys her gifts and he makes her feel special. 75 00:03:54,581 --> 00:03:56,801 I never seen her so happy. 76 00:03:58,324 --> 00:04:00,500 It was really nice when I met him. 77 00:04:00,544 --> 00:04:02,763 I appreciated how welcome he was 78 00:04:02,807 --> 00:04:05,288 in taking me in like his little cousin. 79 00:04:05,331 --> 00:04:06,506 We would talk on the phone, 80 00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:07,464 "Cuz, what you doing today? 81 00:04:07,507 --> 00:04:08,726 What'd you do today? 82 00:04:08,769 --> 00:04:09,596 You need anything?" 83 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,989 He became part of the family 84 00:04:11,032 --> 00:04:12,251 and whenever he was around, 85 00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:14,297 it was just a welcoming feeling. 86 00:04:14,906 --> 00:04:16,342 She was really into him. 87 00:04:16,386 --> 00:04:21,347 Somebody that she envisioned with a good future with. 88 00:04:21,782 --> 00:04:23,741 Griselda's future, she hopes, 89 00:04:23,784 --> 00:04:26,309 also includes becoming a chiropractor 90 00:04:26,352 --> 00:04:29,224 and she's learning the ropes at her uncle's clinic. 91 00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:32,445 She loved that job because she was at the front desk. 92 00:04:32,489 --> 00:04:35,405 Any job that she's having to deal with people, 93 00:04:35,448 --> 00:04:38,930 she flourishes in because she's such a people person. 94 00:04:39,626 --> 00:04:42,977 Her aspiration is always to own her own business 95 00:04:43,021 --> 00:04:45,066 'cause she always dreamed big, 96 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:46,416 preaching about, "Sky's the limit. 97 00:04:46,459 --> 00:04:48,853 Everything that you can do, you can achieve it." 98 00:04:49,506 --> 00:04:52,160 Drinel finds himself completely taken 99 00:04:52,204 --> 00:04:54,815 with Griselda's confidence and spirit. 100 00:04:54,859 --> 00:04:57,209 He doesn't even mind the four-hour drive 101 00:04:57,252 --> 00:05:00,299 from his place in Homestead to Orlando. 102 00:05:00,343 --> 00:05:03,694 Sometimes twice a week just to be with her. 103 00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:06,218 And it's always extra special 104 00:05:06,261 --> 00:05:08,176 when Drinel brings his two young daughters 105 00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:09,917 along for the ride. 106 00:05:09,961 --> 00:05:11,832 Griselda would always, you know, try to get something 107 00:05:11,876 --> 00:05:13,225 for the girls. 108 00:05:13,268 --> 00:05:14,618 So she loved the fact that he had two little girls. 109 00:05:14,661 --> 00:05:16,315 They were the cutest little things. 110 00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:18,273 Drinel's certainly putting in the time 111 00:05:18,317 --> 00:05:21,015 to help their budding relationship blossom. 112 00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:22,539 But after a few months, 113 00:05:22,582 --> 00:05:24,584 he takes an even bigger step, 114 00:05:24,628 --> 00:05:27,848 getting a job at a high-end steak house in Orlando 115 00:05:27,892 --> 00:05:29,807 to be closer to Griselda. 116 00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:32,766 Now he's here on a consistent basis. 117 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:33,811 He's at the house. 118 00:05:33,854 --> 00:05:36,030 Things are coasting. 119 00:05:36,074 --> 00:05:38,337 He eventually moved in. 120 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,471 Six months after that first night in the club, 121 00:05:41,514 --> 00:05:44,474 their relationship takes a huge leap forward 122 00:05:44,517 --> 00:05:47,346 when Griselda finds out that she's pregnant. 123 00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:51,045 One day she come to church and the belly start poking out, 124 00:05:51,089 --> 00:05:52,525 and, I was like, "What's going, what is this?" 125 00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:54,397 I was like, "I gotta take you to the gym." 126 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,224 But she was like, "No, I'm pregnant." 127 00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:57,922 I was like, "What?" 128 00:05:58,488 --> 00:06:00,533 It was just so, like, "Oh, my gosh, 129 00:06:00,577 --> 00:06:03,406 like, you're having a baby." 130 00:06:04,711 --> 00:06:05,799 And we just couldn't stop saying it, like, 131 00:06:05,843 --> 00:06:07,235 "Oh, my gosh, you're having a baby. 132 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,933 Oh, my gosh, we're having a baby." 133 00:06:12,763 --> 00:06:15,418 It's just six months into their relationship 134 00:06:15,461 --> 00:06:18,508 but Griselda is head over heels for Drinel. 135 00:06:18,551 --> 00:06:22,250 She sees this baby growing inside her as a symbol 136 00:06:22,294 --> 00:06:24,427 of their deep love and connection. 137 00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:27,647 And so she is heartbroken by Drinel's reaction 138 00:06:27,691 --> 00:06:30,084 when she shares the news. 139 00:06:30,128 --> 00:06:31,521 This is their baby. 140 00:06:31,564 --> 00:06:35,394 She expected him to be as excited as he was about -- 141 00:06:35,438 --> 00:06:37,222 finding out that she was pregnant. 142 00:06:37,265 --> 00:06:39,093 He just was so dismissive. 143 00:06:39,703 --> 00:06:42,445 And their relationship went from calm to stormy. 144 00:06:44,142 --> 00:06:45,491 Griselda holds steady, 145 00:06:45,535 --> 00:06:47,624 hoping that once the baby arrives, 146 00:06:47,667 --> 00:06:51,062 Drinel will open up and be excited to be a dad. 147 00:06:51,105 --> 00:06:54,544 But then, when she's a few months along, 148 00:06:54,587 --> 00:06:56,937 Griselda loses the baby. 149 00:06:59,984 --> 00:07:02,160 She ended up in the hospital, she miscarried. 150 00:07:02,203 --> 00:07:05,511 And Drinel didn't take the time to show up. 151 00:07:05,555 --> 00:07:07,295 And I think it was one of those things 152 00:07:07,339 --> 00:07:09,602 that it was a gut punch for her 153 00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:14,128 'cause she didn't expect him to react that way. 154 00:07:14,172 --> 00:07:15,565 And not just like, 155 00:07:15,608 --> 00:07:17,436 "Well, I'm busy, I'm working and I can't make it." 156 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,004 It was a relief for him. 157 00:07:20,047 --> 00:07:21,222 And, whereas to her, 158 00:07:21,266 --> 00:07:23,486 it was the worst thing that could happen. 159 00:07:23,529 --> 00:07:25,531 Having a child is an experience 160 00:07:25,575 --> 00:07:28,491 that can truly bond couples tighter together. 161 00:07:28,534 --> 00:07:31,755 But, sometimes, it can break them apart. 162 00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:33,800 I can't imagine the double loss 163 00:07:33,844 --> 00:07:36,542 that Griselda feels at this moment, 164 00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:37,935 losing her baby 165 00:07:37,978 --> 00:07:39,850 and wondering what happened to the man 166 00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:42,417 who seemed to love her so much, 167 00:07:42,461 --> 00:07:44,985 he was willing to uproot his life to be with her? 168 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:48,511 Why would he abandon her when she needed him most? 169 00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:54,299 It was just really shocking that he acted the way he did 170 00:07:54,342 --> 00:07:56,083 when she lost the baby. 171 00:07:56,127 --> 00:07:59,347 He doesn't act the same way towards her anymore. 172 00:07:59,391 --> 00:08:01,654 They don't spend as much time anymore. 173 00:08:01,698 --> 00:08:05,615 He'll go out with friends and spend the entire night out 174 00:08:05,658 --> 00:08:06,703 and don't come home. 175 00:08:06,746 --> 00:08:09,053 It's like everything have changed. 176 00:08:10,402 --> 00:08:14,101 Drinel spends less and less time with Griselda, 177 00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:17,104 while she finds comfort spending more and more time 178 00:08:17,148 --> 00:08:18,628 with her family and friends 179 00:08:18,671 --> 00:08:21,935 who shower her with love and support. 180 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,371 She's a people person. 181 00:08:23,415 --> 00:08:25,504 So, she had friends at her church, 182 00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:27,375 the people at her, the hair salon, 183 00:08:27,419 --> 00:08:29,029 where she went and got her hair done, 184 00:08:29,073 --> 00:08:32,380 and the people that she met at work. 185 00:08:33,251 --> 00:08:35,558 As she recovers from the miscarriage, 186 00:08:35,601 --> 00:08:39,083 Griselda's ready to part ways with Drinel. 187 00:08:39,126 --> 00:08:40,519 The final straw comes 188 00:08:40,563 --> 00:08:43,522 when she discovers an important personal detail 189 00:08:43,566 --> 00:08:46,307 Drinel never shared with her. 190 00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:49,310 Someone called Griselda to tell her 191 00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:54,402 that Drinel was actually still married to his wife. 192 00:08:57,101 --> 00:08:59,538 "I had known that you were married, 193 00:08:59,582 --> 00:09:02,454 but you said you and your wife had been divorced." 194 00:09:03,368 --> 00:09:06,893 I came to church and as I'm walking in, she pulled me out. 195 00:09:06,937 --> 00:09:08,939 She said, "I need to talk to you." 196 00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:12,203 The next phone call I get is the detective. 197 00:09:12,246 --> 00:09:15,946 And I remember my knees buckling from up under me 198 00:09:21,342 --> 00:09:25,825 After suffering through a devastating miscarriage alone, 199 00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:29,481 Griselda Cassamajor has just received a concerning call, 200 00:09:29,524 --> 00:09:32,049 that her boyfriend, Drinel Joseph, 201 00:09:32,092 --> 00:09:35,443 is also still very much married to another woman. 202 00:09:35,792 --> 00:09:38,882 It's not clear how the caller found out about Griselda. 203 00:09:38,925 --> 00:09:42,233 Whether Drinel's wife spotted a message on his phone, 204 00:09:42,276 --> 00:09:45,758 or if his daughters mentioned something about the new woman 205 00:09:45,802 --> 00:09:49,457 he'd been spending so much time with in Orlando. 206 00:09:49,501 --> 00:09:52,417 But one thing certainly is clear, 207 00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:55,550 for Griselda, this relationship 208 00:09:55,594 --> 00:09:56,900 is now over. 209 00:09:59,946 --> 00:10:01,121 She had gotten to that point where, 210 00:10:01,165 --> 00:10:03,776 "I'm not going to entertain you any further 211 00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:06,257 because not only have you lied to me all these months 212 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,475 that we've been together, 213 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:09,086 like, I know about your children. 214 00:10:09,129 --> 00:10:11,131 I had known that you were married, 215 00:10:11,175 --> 00:10:14,395 but you said you and your wife had been divorced." 216 00:10:16,223 --> 00:10:17,877 Even though Griselda is determined 217 00:10:17,921 --> 00:10:19,705 to move on with her life, 218 00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:24,144 Drinel resist the idea of letting her go. 219 00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:27,931 She'd be at work and he's calling the office phone 220 00:10:27,974 --> 00:10:30,063 or constantly calling her cell phone. 221 00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:31,325 And every time I talked to her it's, 222 00:10:31,369 --> 00:10:33,240 "I had to change my number again." 223 00:10:33,284 --> 00:10:37,549 He paid her a few visits, popping up to her house. 224 00:10:37,592 --> 00:10:40,030 It was just, "You're not leaving me. 225 00:10:40,073 --> 00:10:42,293 I'm always going to be in the picture." 226 00:10:44,121 --> 00:10:46,558 She made it seem like she had a handle of it. 227 00:10:46,601 --> 00:10:50,170 So as to not worry her friends and family. 228 00:10:50,736 --> 00:10:52,520 I'm like, "Are you sure he's not coming back?" 229 00:10:52,564 --> 00:10:54,740 She was like, "Yes, I'm sure. 230 00:10:54,784 --> 00:10:56,611 So this is the end of it. 231 00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:59,745 You will never hear from him again." 232 00:11:05,011 --> 00:11:06,883 Heartbreak is never easy. 233 00:11:06,926 --> 00:11:10,321 It can take a while for a jilted lover to get the hint. 234 00:11:10,364 --> 00:11:13,498 But the calls, texts, and unexpected visits 235 00:11:13,541 --> 00:11:15,718 slowly trickled to a stop. 236 00:11:15,761 --> 00:11:18,111 It's a weight off Griselda's shoulders. 237 00:11:18,155 --> 00:11:21,158 And, a few weeks later, she meets someone new, 238 00:11:21,201 --> 00:11:23,943 a local barber who seems to be everything 239 00:11:23,987 --> 00:11:25,771 that Drinel was not. 240 00:11:25,815 --> 00:11:29,775 He was just such a sweetheart. 241 00:11:29,819 --> 00:11:31,995 Tall, dark, handsome, 242 00:11:32,038 --> 00:11:34,432 like, really well put together. 243 00:11:34,475 --> 00:11:36,782 Just really cared about who she was 244 00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:37,783 and cared about her dreams, 245 00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:39,045 and cared about her wants, 246 00:11:39,089 --> 00:11:41,439 and just cared about her as a human being. 247 00:11:41,482 --> 00:11:45,138 And then that's when she start being herself again, 248 00:11:45,182 --> 00:11:46,618 the person that everybody knows, 249 00:11:46,661 --> 00:11:50,361 that's like very happy and cheerful. 250 00:11:51,101 --> 00:11:53,581 By the summer of 2007, 251 00:11:53,625 --> 00:11:56,062 just short of a year after meeting Drinel, 252 00:11:56,106 --> 00:11:58,151 Griselda's life is on the upswing. 253 00:11:58,195 --> 00:12:00,023 She's dating a wonderful new guy 254 00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:02,155 who genuinely appreciates her, 255 00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:04,636 she's doing a great job at her uncle's clinic, 256 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,030 and her friends and family are close. 257 00:12:07,073 --> 00:12:09,032 On the morning of July 2nd, 258 00:12:09,075 --> 00:12:11,599 Griselda gets stuck on her way to work. 259 00:12:11,643 --> 00:12:14,037 Her cousin, Daphney, comes to the rescue 260 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,213 when her car won't start. 261 00:12:16,256 --> 00:12:17,954 Griselda was having car trouble, 262 00:12:17,997 --> 00:12:19,303 so I took her to work 263 00:12:19,346 --> 00:12:22,697 and then I went back to the office for lunch. 264 00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:24,090 Her, Daniel, and I, 265 00:12:24,134 --> 00:12:25,962 just sat and we were having a good time 266 00:12:26,005 --> 00:12:28,181 like we do any other time. 267 00:12:28,225 --> 00:12:30,923 Daniel Rivera is the new massage therapist 268 00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:32,403 at the office. 269 00:12:32,446 --> 00:12:34,405 Sweet and full of energy, 270 00:12:34,448 --> 00:12:37,843 20-year-old Daniel loves to joke around with Griselda 271 00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:39,540 and Daphney. 272 00:12:39,584 --> 00:12:41,368 Before I left, Griselda said, 273 00:12:41,412 --> 00:12:42,935 "Don't forget about me. 274 00:12:42,979 --> 00:12:44,937 You know you have to get, come and pick me up from work." 275 00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:47,200 Because I was her ride back. 276 00:12:47,244 --> 00:12:48,898 I was like, "I'm not gonna forget. 277 00:12:48,941 --> 00:12:51,552 I know, that's why I have to get outta here." 278 00:12:53,293 --> 00:12:56,340 Later that afternoon, Griselda's aunt, Jonice, 279 00:12:56,383 --> 00:13:00,083 who's also a part-time manager at the family-run clinic, 280 00:13:00,126 --> 00:13:02,433 arrives just before closing. 281 00:13:02,476 --> 00:13:03,869 As she enters the office, 282 00:13:03,913 --> 00:13:07,830 she spots Daniel Rivera hunched over his computer. 283 00:13:07,873 --> 00:13:10,093 He looks like he's asleep. 284 00:13:10,136 --> 00:13:12,269 But, when Jonice tries to wake him, 285 00:13:12,312 --> 00:13:15,750 she realizes something is terribly wrong. 286 00:13:15,794 --> 00:13:17,317 Daniel isn't moving. 287 00:13:18,928 --> 00:13:21,539 Jonice sees Daniel. 288 00:13:21,582 --> 00:13:23,280 Blood's pouring out of him, 289 00:13:23,323 --> 00:13:25,630 and she actually calls Griselda, 290 00:13:25,673 --> 00:13:28,502 and calls her but doesn't get an answer. 291 00:13:28,546 --> 00:13:30,374 She calls her husband 292 00:13:30,417 --> 00:13:32,463 and then he calls 911. 293 00:13:35,814 --> 00:13:36,728 Ten minutes later, 294 00:13:36,771 --> 00:13:38,904 Orlando PD show up at the scene 295 00:13:38,948 --> 00:13:40,906 and proceed inside cautiously, 296 00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:42,952 weapons drawn. 297 00:13:42,995 --> 00:13:46,651 When we entered the door and we walked into the office, 298 00:13:46,694 --> 00:13:48,914 we observed a male with the head down. 299 00:13:48,958 --> 00:13:51,699 I remember the blood in the top of his head. 300 00:13:51,743 --> 00:13:54,311 It looked like a gunshot wound. 301 00:13:54,354 --> 00:13:57,009 So I went to see if there are signs of life. 302 00:13:57,053 --> 00:13:58,489 We found none. 303 00:13:59,316 --> 00:14:02,319 His right hand was on a computer mouse. 304 00:14:02,362 --> 00:14:05,278 He was playing solitaire at the time. 305 00:14:05,583 --> 00:14:07,324 He didn't see this coming. 306 00:14:07,367 --> 00:14:08,934 And then they clear the rest of the clinic 307 00:14:08,978 --> 00:14:11,502 to make sure the shooter is not still there. 308 00:14:12,546 --> 00:14:15,201 They find a woman under this desk, 309 00:14:15,245 --> 00:14:18,074 gasping for air, clinging to life, 310 00:14:18,117 --> 00:14:19,336 but unconscious. 311 00:14:19,379 --> 00:14:22,121 She was shot two times in the head. 312 00:14:22,992 --> 00:14:24,210 There was no exit wound. 313 00:14:24,254 --> 00:14:26,082 The bullets were still within her. 314 00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:27,779 So an ambulance is called right away 315 00:14:27,822 --> 00:14:30,390 in hopes she's going to survive. 316 00:14:31,261 --> 00:14:32,653 Jonice returns to the clinic 317 00:14:32,697 --> 00:14:36,440 and identifies the badly injured woman for the police. 318 00:14:37,484 --> 00:14:38,790 It's Griselda. 319 00:14:40,052 --> 00:14:43,316 Griselda's shocked family rushes to her bedside 320 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,578 at the hospital. 321 00:14:44,622 --> 00:14:46,319 Praying for miracle. 322 00:14:50,802 --> 00:14:54,762 But unfortunately, she passed away in a couple of hours. 323 00:14:56,416 --> 00:14:59,898 I remember my knees buckling from up under me 324 00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:01,204 and just screaming. 325 00:15:01,247 --> 00:15:02,988 I just saw her. 326 00:15:03,032 --> 00:15:04,511 I just was with her. 327 00:15:04,555 --> 00:15:07,819 I still remember hearing her laugh that day. 328 00:15:07,862 --> 00:15:10,213 I still remember the meal we had, 329 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,061 And, I can't really describe how I felt. 330 00:15:32,104 --> 00:15:33,801 You could have just prayed to God and said, 331 00:15:33,845 --> 00:15:36,717 "Why did you allow this to happen?" 332 00:15:38,110 --> 00:15:40,243 As Griselda's family tries to process 333 00:15:40,286 --> 00:15:42,158 what has happened, 334 00:15:42,201 --> 00:15:46,031 Daniel's family finds themselves equally stunned 335 00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:47,859 and devastated. 336 00:15:48,816 --> 00:15:50,253 I got a call. 337 00:15:50,296 --> 00:15:53,256 They told me Danny has been shot. 338 00:15:53,299 --> 00:15:55,127 "Okay, you're saying Danny's shot. 339 00:15:55,171 --> 00:15:56,563 Was he shot in his arm? 340 00:15:56,607 --> 00:15:57,521 Is he shot in his leg? 341 00:15:57,564 --> 00:15:59,175 Where is he shot?" 342 00:15:59,218 --> 00:16:01,351 And then they said, "He's dead. 343 00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:02,917 He's dead, Danny's dead." 344 00:16:02,961 --> 00:16:04,136 And, "Danny's dead." 345 00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:06,138 And your world stops. 346 00:16:07,313 --> 00:16:08,836 I got to my apartment, 347 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,969 and, you know, the sheriff, he said, 348 00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:12,405 "Well, your brother's been in an accident." 349 00:16:12,449 --> 00:16:14,277 You know, "He's been shot." 350 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,496 It just, it didn't hit me yet. 351 00:16:17,236 --> 00:16:21,806 I'm gonna have to call my mom just to tell her, like, 352 00:16:21,849 --> 00:16:23,895 you know. 353 00:16:25,897 --> 00:16:27,725 Oof, woof. 354 00:16:27,768 --> 00:16:30,684 It was hard, really hard. 355 00:16:34,514 --> 00:16:38,040 Being Danny's little brother was a privilege. 356 00:16:38,301 --> 00:16:40,129 He took care of me a lot, he did. 357 00:16:40,172 --> 00:16:42,479 He was the go-to guy if you were in trouble, 358 00:16:42,522 --> 00:16:46,004 or had a question, or just wanted to vent. 359 00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:47,658 He was that guy. 360 00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:52,097 Two brutal murders, 361 00:16:52,141 --> 00:16:54,273 two devastated families, 362 00:16:54,317 --> 00:16:56,232 and numerous questions. 363 00:16:56,275 --> 00:17:00,584 Who would want these two amazing young people dead? 364 00:17:00,627 --> 00:17:03,848 Who would be so angry with Daniel and Griselda, 365 00:17:03,891 --> 00:17:06,111 they robbed them of their future? 366 00:17:06,155 --> 00:17:07,330 And why? 367 00:17:08,983 --> 00:17:11,377 Investigators began to piece together 368 00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:13,684 what little evidence they have. 369 00:17:13,727 --> 00:17:16,339 We didn't find much of anything at the scene. 370 00:17:16,382 --> 00:17:18,471 We didn't find any surveillance cameras. 371 00:17:18,515 --> 00:17:20,343 We didn't find the shell casing. 372 00:17:20,386 --> 00:17:22,693 We did not find blood transfer 373 00:17:22,736 --> 00:17:25,870 to any item inside the clinic, 374 00:17:25,913 --> 00:17:28,612 leading out or outside of the clinic. 375 00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:32,137 We know that Daniel has talked to his fiance 376 00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:34,531 up to about 5:21. 377 00:17:34,574 --> 00:17:36,620 We know that the first deputy 378 00:17:36,663 --> 00:17:38,839 went into the clinic about six o'clock. 379 00:17:38,883 --> 00:17:41,364 So Jonice was a few minutes earlier. 380 00:17:41,407 --> 00:17:43,366 So we have a really narrow timeframe 381 00:17:43,409 --> 00:17:45,803 that he had to have gone in there, 382 00:17:45,846 --> 00:17:47,544 shot Daniel, shot Griselda, 383 00:17:47,587 --> 00:17:49,937 and gotten out fairly quickly. 384 00:17:49,981 --> 00:17:51,722 The human side of me is thinking, 385 00:17:51,765 --> 00:17:53,419 "Who did this and why?" 386 00:17:53,463 --> 00:17:56,770 My next question, "Who was the target?" 387 00:17:58,598 --> 00:18:00,165 Was the male victim the target 388 00:18:00,209 --> 00:18:02,733 and the female victim just happened to be there? 389 00:18:02,776 --> 00:18:04,561 Or was it the female victim that was the target 390 00:18:04,604 --> 00:18:06,824 and the male victim just happened to be there? 391 00:18:07,781 --> 00:18:11,176 We realized immediately it was gonna be a challenge 392 00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:12,699 solving this case. 393 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,271 Imagine that in an instant, 394 00:18:19,315 --> 00:18:21,186 your daughter or your brother 395 00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:25,190 has been taken forever by a sudden act of violence. 396 00:18:25,234 --> 00:18:28,324 As a former prosecutor for the Manhattan DA's office, 397 00:18:28,367 --> 00:18:30,413 I frequently fought for justice 398 00:18:30,456 --> 00:18:33,416 for families facing this reality. 399 00:18:33,459 --> 00:18:36,201 Families like those of Griselda Cassamajor, 400 00:18:36,245 --> 00:18:37,898 and Danny Rivera. 401 00:18:37,942 --> 00:18:42,120 To investigators, the murders appear carefully planned 402 00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:45,645 and they wonder who was the intended target. 403 00:18:48,431 --> 00:18:51,216 This was something someone had to do. 404 00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:52,739 No matter what, they were gonna do it, 405 00:18:52,783 --> 00:18:55,481 and this was the time they were gonna do it. 406 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,744 Daniel never saw what was coming. 407 00:18:57,788 --> 00:19:00,225 He was just shot, execution-style. 408 00:19:01,183 --> 00:19:03,576 Griselda was trying to get away and cowering. 409 00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:06,405 And so, she didn't have an opportunity to struggle. 410 00:19:06,449 --> 00:19:09,278 It was clear the shooter came in 411 00:19:09,321 --> 00:19:11,845 and went out really quickly. 412 00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:15,153 We were looking for shell casings. 413 00:19:15,197 --> 00:19:17,460 We were looking for something knocked over. 414 00:19:17,503 --> 00:19:18,591 We're looking to see if maybe 415 00:19:18,635 --> 00:19:21,812 there was transfer blood on a doorpost. 416 00:19:21,855 --> 00:19:22,943 We'd be looking for anything, 417 00:19:22,987 --> 00:19:26,120 fingerprints, surveillance cameras. 418 00:19:26,164 --> 00:19:28,166 We found none of those things. 419 00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:30,995 This is not a gang area 420 00:19:31,038 --> 00:19:33,954 that you think drive-bys may happen, 421 00:19:33,998 --> 00:19:35,956 or people may be shot. 422 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,697 It is a place of business, 423 00:19:37,741 --> 00:19:39,264 a place of healing, 424 00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,919 but the place doesn't really look touched 425 00:19:41,962 --> 00:19:44,269 except for the two people shot. 426 00:19:45,183 --> 00:19:48,273 So then the detectives are gonna look into 427 00:19:48,317 --> 00:19:51,015 what's going on in the personal life of these people. 428 00:19:51,581 --> 00:19:53,365 Police conduct extensive interviews 429 00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:56,716 with the families and friends of the two victims. 430 00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:02,287 My brother, he'd never been involved in wild things. 431 00:20:02,331 --> 00:20:05,638 He was never drugs and, or crazy people. 432 00:20:05,682 --> 00:20:07,901 He's always been the charismatic, heroic person, 433 00:20:07,945 --> 00:20:10,687 you know, just positive. 434 00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:12,515 When the cops asked me, you know, 435 00:20:12,558 --> 00:20:14,734 "Did Danny have any enemies?" 436 00:20:14,778 --> 00:20:18,260 I said, "No, Danny's, he's a loving person." 437 00:20:19,522 --> 00:20:21,872 Griselda had a lot of room in her heart 438 00:20:21,915 --> 00:20:23,482 for a lot of people. 439 00:20:23,526 --> 00:20:25,179 And she lived her life that way. 440 00:20:25,223 --> 00:20:27,530 If you were around her, you felt her love, 441 00:20:27,573 --> 00:20:30,272 you felt her comfort, you felt her warmth. 442 00:20:32,186 --> 00:20:34,493 Although they were both in relationships, 443 00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:37,409 Danny and Griselda are young, outgoing, 444 00:20:37,453 --> 00:20:39,019 and attractive people. 445 00:20:39,063 --> 00:20:40,499 It wouldn't be the first time 446 00:20:40,543 --> 00:20:43,459 an office friendship turned into an office romance. 447 00:20:43,502 --> 00:20:45,678 I've certainly seen it before. 448 00:20:45,722 --> 00:20:47,114 And, if that's the case, 449 00:20:47,158 --> 00:20:50,901 could their relationship have incited a jealous rage? 450 00:20:52,903 --> 00:20:54,513 First thing we're gonna look at is their life 451 00:20:54,557 --> 00:20:57,995 and find out what's going on with their current boyfriend, 452 00:20:58,038 --> 00:21:00,214 is there a love triangle? 453 00:21:00,258 --> 00:21:02,521 So investigators sit down with the man 454 00:21:02,565 --> 00:21:06,917 Griselda's been dating to ask him a couple of questions. 455 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,092 Lou was trying to provide us 456 00:21:08,135 --> 00:21:10,007 with as much information as he could. 457 00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:14,011 He was clearly devastated about Griselda being killed. 458 00:21:14,054 --> 00:21:17,319 And, we were able to establish the fact that Lou was at work 459 00:21:17,362 --> 00:21:19,582 when the murder took place 460 00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:22,498 and he was not involved in the case. 461 00:21:23,412 --> 00:21:24,674 I do know for sure, 462 00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:27,198 Danny and Griselda we're acquaintances from work, 463 00:21:27,241 --> 00:21:29,243 but nothing more than that at all. 464 00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:31,637 It was more so of a work companion. 465 00:21:32,203 --> 00:21:34,161 He was living with his girlfriend. 466 00:21:34,205 --> 00:21:36,468 He had plans for the future. 467 00:21:36,512 --> 00:21:37,469 He loved her dearly. 468 00:21:37,513 --> 00:21:39,384 He took her very serious. 469 00:21:39,428 --> 00:21:41,081 I know that for sure. 470 00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:45,521 No one knew what to think. 471 00:21:45,564 --> 00:21:48,611 So, it's like, who would go to a chiropractor office 472 00:21:48,654 --> 00:21:49,699 and do this? 473 00:21:52,441 --> 00:21:55,444 The way someone is killed often provides a window 474 00:21:55,487 --> 00:21:57,620 into why they were killed. 475 00:21:57,663 --> 00:22:00,449 Danny had been shot in the back of the head 476 00:22:00,492 --> 00:22:03,103 and never saw his killer coming. 477 00:22:03,147 --> 00:22:06,150 It's an efficient technique used by hitmen 478 00:22:06,193 --> 00:22:08,805 and other experienced killers. 479 00:22:08,848 --> 00:22:12,069 Investigators take a closer look at the business. 480 00:22:12,112 --> 00:22:15,986 Wondering if there was anything that somehow triggered a hit 481 00:22:16,029 --> 00:22:17,509 on the clinic. 482 00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:20,860 The clinic is sort of a setup between chiropractors, 483 00:22:20,904 --> 00:22:22,122 massage therapists, 484 00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:24,516 where people who are involved in accidents 485 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,998 are referred to the clinic to get treatment. 486 00:22:28,912 --> 00:22:30,304 I'm looking at the place 487 00:22:30,348 --> 00:22:32,306 and it just seems to be some things missing 488 00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:35,440 that should be there for so-called treatment. 489 00:22:35,484 --> 00:22:39,444 There didn't appear to be supplies inside the rooms. 490 00:22:39,488 --> 00:22:42,012 It didn't look like there was a lot of patients coming 491 00:22:42,055 --> 00:22:43,796 in and out of there. 492 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320 How are you keeping this place open? 493 00:22:46,364 --> 00:22:48,366 Is this a front for something else? 494 00:22:50,237 --> 00:22:52,196 It also strikes police as suspicious 495 00:22:52,239 --> 00:22:56,243 that Jonice Leonard didn't call 911 herself, 496 00:22:56,287 --> 00:22:58,637 but called her husband instead. 497 00:22:59,116 --> 00:23:01,205 Well, when they spoke to the uncle, the obvious question, 498 00:23:01,248 --> 00:23:04,817 "Why did your wife call you rather than calling the police?" 499 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,650 And, I'm wondering if she may have been the target. 500 00:23:11,694 --> 00:23:14,348 If her husband also may have been the target. 501 00:23:14,392 --> 00:23:16,438 Did someone come in looking for them? 502 00:23:16,481 --> 00:23:18,091 They weren't there, 503 00:23:18,135 --> 00:23:20,616 and decided to kill the two people that were there instead. 504 00:23:21,399 --> 00:23:23,836 Investigators probe company records, 505 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,839 looking for any evidence of shady dealings. 506 00:23:26,883 --> 00:23:29,363 You have to consider all possibilities 507 00:23:29,407 --> 00:23:31,670 because when you're searching for evidence, 508 00:23:31,714 --> 00:23:34,717 you need to look for that possibility. 509 00:23:35,587 --> 00:23:40,026 But we never found any evidence of criminal activity 510 00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:41,463 in the practice. 511 00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:44,248 But, as they combed through the office logs, 512 00:23:44,291 --> 00:23:49,209 detectives do come across what could be a key to the case. 513 00:23:49,253 --> 00:23:50,863 During the 30-minute window 514 00:23:50,907 --> 00:23:54,084 between Danny's last phone call to his girlfriend 515 00:23:54,127 --> 00:23:56,216 and the 911 call, 516 00:23:56,260 --> 00:23:57,870 a woman entered the office 517 00:23:57,914 --> 00:24:00,482 and signed her name on the admission sheet 518 00:24:00,525 --> 00:24:02,092 at the front desk. 519 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,050 We went to talk to her about it, because, you know, 520 00:24:04,094 --> 00:24:06,270 at the time we didn't know what she had seen. 521 00:24:06,313 --> 00:24:08,751 Was someone in here when you got here? 522 00:24:08,794 --> 00:24:10,535 Was someone leaving out when you got here? 523 00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:13,756 What, if anything, did you observe when you got here? 524 00:24:21,415 --> 00:24:23,200 Investigators probing the murders 525 00:24:23,243 --> 00:24:26,551 of Griselda Cassamajor and Daniel Rivera 526 00:24:26,595 --> 00:24:28,118 keep bumping up against the fact 527 00:24:28,161 --> 00:24:31,643 that there's seemingly nothing about Griselda or Daniel 528 00:24:31,687 --> 00:24:35,081 that would give anyone a reason to take their lives. 529 00:24:35,734 --> 00:24:38,694 Detectives hope the woman who arrived at the massage clinic 530 00:24:38,737 --> 00:24:42,393 right after the murders will be the key to this mystery. 531 00:24:42,959 --> 00:24:45,396 They track her down for an interview. 532 00:24:45,831 --> 00:24:48,878 She came in around 5:45 or so, 533 00:24:48,921 --> 00:24:51,620 and couldn't get anyone to respond to her, 534 00:24:51,663 --> 00:24:53,447 thought Daniel was asleep. 535 00:24:54,057 --> 00:24:55,580 She couldn't get his attention. 536 00:24:55,624 --> 00:24:58,017 Keep in mind that she's looking over this counter. 537 00:24:58,061 --> 00:25:00,324 She's looking at him and his head is down. 538 00:25:00,933 --> 00:25:03,022 The way his head was angled, 539 00:25:03,066 --> 00:25:05,590 she had no way of seeing the blood from her angle 540 00:25:05,634 --> 00:25:07,026 or from where she was, 541 00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:09,594 so she just assumed he was asleep, 542 00:25:09,638 --> 00:25:11,596 and she was never gonna get his attention. 543 00:25:12,771 --> 00:25:14,730 She didn't see Griselda's body, 544 00:25:14,773 --> 00:25:16,601 there's nothing seen in the parking lot. 545 00:25:16,645 --> 00:25:21,432 So, she signs in on the sign-in sheet and she leaves. 546 00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:24,261 Detectives are frustrated 547 00:25:24,304 --> 00:25:27,264 that this promising lead goes nowhere. 548 00:25:27,307 --> 00:25:30,659 Meanwhile, Griselda and Daniel's families and friends 549 00:25:30,702 --> 00:25:34,445 struggle with the grief of this senseless loss. 550 00:25:36,099 --> 00:25:37,927 Nobody seen it coming, 551 00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:42,714 but, everybody got affected by it big time. 552 00:25:44,673 --> 00:25:45,978 I couldn't handle this. 553 00:25:46,022 --> 00:25:48,285 It was every day, I'm not eating, I'm not drinking, 554 00:25:48,328 --> 00:25:50,461 and all I'm doing is crying. 555 00:25:50,504 --> 00:25:52,463 That's all I did. 556 00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:54,944 There was nothing about Griselda 557 00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:57,250 that would make you not like her. 558 00:25:57,294 --> 00:26:00,471 If you didn't like her, it's because you were the problem. 559 00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:08,958 Then, nine days after the murders, 560 00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:11,482 when Griselda's mother finally brings herself 561 00:26:11,525 --> 00:26:13,702 to look through her daughter's room, 562 00:26:13,745 --> 00:26:16,226 detectives catch a break. 563 00:26:16,269 --> 00:26:19,229 It's a voice from the grave. 564 00:26:19,272 --> 00:26:23,102 A handwritten note tucked in the back of her dresser drawer. 565 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:27,803 Griselda writes a letter that's saying 566 00:26:27,846 --> 00:26:30,806 if anything happens to her, 567 00:26:30,849 --> 00:26:33,504 the police should look at Drinel Joseph. 568 00:26:38,509 --> 00:26:39,771 It basically said, 569 00:26:39,815 --> 00:26:42,382 "If you're reading this letter, 570 00:26:42,426 --> 00:26:45,037 I'm dead and Drinel Joseph did it." 571 00:26:46,604 --> 00:26:49,346 As they started to dig into her background more, 572 00:26:49,389 --> 00:26:53,742 they found out that he was very possessive and jealous 573 00:26:53,785 --> 00:26:55,700 and there were a lot of arguments. 574 00:26:56,570 --> 00:26:59,922 It appears that Griselda was developing 575 00:26:59,965 --> 00:27:04,317 a certain fear factor regarding Drinel. 576 00:27:04,753 --> 00:27:08,191 And, it appears that Griselda was desperately attempting 577 00:27:08,234 --> 00:27:12,325 to distance herself more from Drinel. 578 00:27:15,285 --> 00:27:16,765 And it turns out 579 00:27:16,808 --> 00:27:21,160 that a few weeks before they broke up in March of 2007, 580 00:27:21,204 --> 00:27:25,077 Drinel had become violent towards Griselda. 581 00:27:25,643 --> 00:27:28,211 One day she called me, 582 00:27:28,254 --> 00:27:30,866 and she was telling me he was being physical. 583 00:27:30,909 --> 00:27:32,563 So, I'm like, "That's not good." 584 00:27:32,606 --> 00:27:35,131 And she was like, "I think he was drunk, 585 00:27:35,174 --> 00:27:38,308 and I don't think that he was normal state of mind. 586 00:27:38,351 --> 00:27:41,877 That's probably why he had that reaction so." 587 00:27:42,616 --> 00:27:45,054 For somebody to be physically abusive to you, 588 00:27:45,097 --> 00:27:46,359 it's a big deal. 589 00:27:48,622 --> 00:27:49,928 In family court, 590 00:27:49,972 --> 00:27:52,148 I've seen countless women in Griselda's position 591 00:27:52,191 --> 00:27:55,325 downplay what's going on behind closed doors, 592 00:27:55,368 --> 00:27:59,068 either out of fear or hoping that things will improve. 593 00:27:59,111 --> 00:28:01,679 It's a reality that's heartbreaking. 594 00:28:01,723 --> 00:28:03,115 And, in my experience, 595 00:28:03,159 --> 00:28:08,251 often escalates and turns even more dangerous. 596 00:28:09,513 --> 00:28:13,299 I only wish she could have told me. 597 00:28:13,822 --> 00:28:16,476 There was a Saturday morning I came to church 598 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,870 and, as I'm walking in, she pulled me out. 599 00:28:18,914 --> 00:28:20,176 She said, "I need to talk to you." 600 00:28:20,219 --> 00:28:21,568 And, she was like, 601 00:28:21,612 --> 00:28:23,788 "Hey, do you know, he just pulled out a gun on me 602 00:28:23,832 --> 00:28:25,311 and he's trying to control me. 603 00:28:25,355 --> 00:28:26,486 I couldn't go nowhere. 604 00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:28,445 I can't talk to nobody on the phone." 605 00:28:29,315 --> 00:28:32,928 I told her, "Don't be afraid to make a police report." 606 00:28:32,971 --> 00:28:35,844 But, she told me, "No, we broke up. 607 00:28:35,887 --> 00:28:37,584 He went back to Miami. 608 00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:39,151 He moved out." 609 00:28:39,195 --> 00:28:41,675 Griselda tries to give her friends the impression 610 00:28:41,719 --> 00:28:44,504 she shut the door on her destructive relationship 611 00:28:44,548 --> 00:28:45,723 for good. 612 00:28:45,767 --> 00:28:47,116 But, two months later, 613 00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:49,509 they noticed she's opened it up just enough 614 00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:52,295 for Drinel to inch his way back in. 615 00:28:54,297 --> 00:28:56,778 In May, there's a group of friends of Griselda's 616 00:28:56,821 --> 00:29:00,520 that went down to Miami for a Haitian festival. 617 00:29:02,871 --> 00:29:04,133 I went with my set of friends, 618 00:29:04,176 --> 00:29:05,351 she went with her set of friends, 619 00:29:05,395 --> 00:29:07,527 and then we met out there. 620 00:29:07,571 --> 00:29:10,139 And, of course, Homestead, Miami, 621 00:29:10,182 --> 00:29:12,968 that's literally right down the street. 622 00:29:13,011 --> 00:29:14,360 And the girls wanted to go to the mall 623 00:29:14,404 --> 00:29:18,451 and she says, "I have an ex-boyfriend in the area." 624 00:29:19,409 --> 00:29:22,586 So, Drinel did live in Homestead, Florida. 625 00:29:23,892 --> 00:29:27,069 At some point, they needed a ride. 626 00:29:27,112 --> 00:29:30,376 Griselda reached out to Drinel. 627 00:29:31,464 --> 00:29:33,466 He did come and give 'em a ride. 628 00:29:34,903 --> 00:29:36,339 I'm like, 629 00:29:36,382 --> 00:29:38,167 "Why do you wanna put yourself in that predicament?" 630 00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:39,864 And she was like, "No, it's fine. 631 00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:40,865 We've talked on the phone. 632 00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:42,475 He's being nice." 633 00:29:42,998 --> 00:29:46,175 But with an explosive relationship like theirs, 634 00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:48,873 it doesn't take long before tempers flare. 635 00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:52,572 And Griselda's friends see firsthand just how intense 636 00:29:52,616 --> 00:29:55,271 and controlling Drinel can be. 637 00:29:55,924 --> 00:29:59,710 And, they were able to overhear some very ominous words 638 00:29:59,753 --> 00:30:01,277 from Drinel. 639 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,151 Drinel, apparently, expressed his love for Griselda, 640 00:30:06,195 --> 00:30:09,459 said that he wanted to be with her still. 641 00:30:09,502 --> 00:30:12,288 Griselda told him she was in a relationship 642 00:30:12,331 --> 00:30:13,811 with someone else. 643 00:30:13,855 --> 00:30:16,901 Drinel told her, "I'm gonna always be your boyfriend." 644 00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:22,907 Drinel also then said, "If I can't have you, no one can." 645 00:30:25,475 --> 00:30:26,824 Drinel is telling her, 646 00:30:26,868 --> 00:30:28,521 "I'm the only one that you're ever gonna be with. 647 00:30:28,565 --> 00:30:30,654 You'll never be with anyone else." 648 00:30:40,533 --> 00:30:42,796 A lot of his story is a lie. 649 00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:50,979 Orlando police iof Griselda Cassamajorr 650 00:30:51,022 --> 00:30:53,546 have discovered disturbing information 651 00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:56,593 about her ex-boyfriend, Drinel Joseph, 652 00:30:56,636 --> 00:31:00,379 the man who was once so doting and devoted, 653 00:31:00,423 --> 00:31:04,601 has turned out to be a violent and vindictive tyrant 654 00:31:04,644 --> 00:31:07,212 with a ferocious jealous streak. 655 00:31:08,605 --> 00:31:09,954 Drinel is telling her that, 656 00:31:09,998 --> 00:31:12,000 "I'm the only one that you're ever gonna be with. 657 00:31:12,043 --> 00:31:14,480 You'll never be with anyone else." 658 00:31:15,394 --> 00:31:18,441 And she had tried to get away from Drinel. 659 00:31:19,050 --> 00:31:23,011 It was clear she knew that her life had been threatened. 660 00:31:23,968 --> 00:31:26,449 I get the impression that Drinel always thought 661 00:31:26,492 --> 00:31:28,233 that they will be back together, 662 00:31:28,277 --> 00:31:30,757 up until the point where he found out 663 00:31:30,801 --> 00:31:32,716 that she was with someone else. 664 00:31:33,630 --> 00:31:35,414 With what they've learned about the couple's 665 00:31:35,458 --> 00:31:36,981 stormy relationship, 666 00:31:37,025 --> 00:31:38,809 detectives are now convinced 667 00:31:38,852 --> 00:31:41,333 that Griselda was the intended target 668 00:31:41,377 --> 00:31:44,989 and Drinel Joseph is their number one suspect. 669 00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:47,209 But the question remains, 670 00:31:47,252 --> 00:31:50,516 "Why was Danny Rivera also shot and killed?" 671 00:31:50,908 --> 00:31:53,650 To find out, investigators bring Drinel 672 00:31:53,693 --> 00:31:56,131 down to the station for questioning. 673 00:32:01,963 --> 00:32:05,923 This might be the trickiest moment in the case. 674 00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:08,404 Drinel Joseph is in custody, 675 00:32:08,447 --> 00:32:11,624 but, unless detectives can crack his alibi, 676 00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:13,975 they'll have to let him go. 677 00:32:14,714 --> 00:32:17,065 With little forensic evidence to build on, 678 00:32:17,108 --> 00:32:20,633 they need to be able to place Drinel at the crime scene 679 00:32:20,677 --> 00:32:22,635 in the short window of time 680 00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:26,074 they've determined that Griselda's murder took place. 681 00:32:40,088 --> 00:32:43,004 They took him through July 2nd and where he was 682 00:32:43,047 --> 00:32:44,831 and what was he doing. 683 00:32:44,875 --> 00:32:47,573 Drinel told us he went to work that morning 684 00:32:47,617 --> 00:32:50,054 and left work around noon. 685 00:32:50,098 --> 00:32:51,882 His boss let him off early, 686 00:32:51,925 --> 00:32:55,190 so he went to change the tires on his wife's car. 687 00:32:55,233 --> 00:32:59,107 When he was done, he went home. 688 00:32:59,150 --> 00:33:01,370 As the interrogation proceeds, 689 00:33:01,413 --> 00:33:03,850 detectives are confounded by Drinel's description 690 00:33:03,894 --> 00:33:06,549 of his relationship with Griselda. 691 00:33:57,469 --> 00:34:02,474 The way he talks about Griselda's cold and demeaning. 692 00:34:02,518 --> 00:34:05,260 You would expect, even though they had broken up, 693 00:34:05,303 --> 00:34:08,306 that a normal person would be distraught 694 00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:10,874 if someone they were in a romantic relationship with 695 00:34:10,917 --> 00:34:14,051 just months ago was murdered. 696 00:34:14,878 --> 00:34:16,662 Though investigators are convinced 697 00:34:16,706 --> 00:34:18,142 that Drinel is the killer, 698 00:34:18,186 --> 00:34:19,491 they need to prove it. 699 00:34:19,535 --> 00:34:22,494 The first step is to match Drinel's movements 700 00:34:22,538 --> 00:34:24,583 to account for him being able to drive 701 00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:29,110 the four hours each way from Homestead to Orlando. 702 00:34:29,414 --> 00:34:32,765 So, Drinel told us on July 2nd, 2007, 703 00:34:32,809 --> 00:34:35,768 he came in to work that day, 8:30, 704 00:34:35,812 --> 00:34:38,380 he got into a fight with his manager 705 00:34:38,423 --> 00:34:40,643 and he left at 9:30. 706 00:34:58,269 --> 00:35:00,097 When he was done, he went home. 707 00:35:00,141 --> 00:35:03,056 Said he arrived home around four o'clock. 708 00:35:03,535 --> 00:35:05,407 They were able to track down his friend, 709 00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:06,973 the mechanic, Woody. 710 00:35:07,017 --> 00:35:10,542 And, Woody's like, "No, he came over in the morning 711 00:35:10,586 --> 00:35:14,633 and we worked on the car till around a little bit after 11, 712 00:35:14,677 --> 00:35:16,679 heading to 11:30." 713 00:35:17,070 --> 00:35:19,638 So they've already started to develop 714 00:35:19,682 --> 00:35:22,032 a lot of his story is a lie. 715 00:35:22,728 --> 00:35:25,122 And if he left Woody at 11:30, 716 00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:28,169 that gives him ample time to drive to Orlando. 717 00:35:30,562 --> 00:35:32,042 On the day of her murder, 718 00:35:32,085 --> 00:35:35,741 Drinel and Griselda had been broken up for four months, 719 00:35:35,785 --> 00:35:38,657 and it had six weeks since he saw her 720 00:35:38,701 --> 00:35:40,877 at the Haitian festival. 721 00:35:41,269 --> 00:35:43,358 But investigators now feel 722 00:35:43,401 --> 00:35:46,143 that his rage towards her was intense enough 723 00:35:46,187 --> 00:35:50,756 to fuel a four-hour-drive to hunt her down and kill her. 724 00:35:51,235 --> 00:35:53,237 This was no crime of passion. 725 00:35:53,281 --> 00:35:56,284 This was months of fiery rage that festered 726 00:35:56,327 --> 00:35:58,242 and grew inside of him. 727 00:35:58,286 --> 00:36:00,853 Until, finally, Drinel made good 728 00:36:00,897 --> 00:36:03,073 on the horrifying threats he made 729 00:36:03,116 --> 00:36:06,642 after she told him she would never be his again. 730 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,605 My belief is Drinel Joseph drove from Homestead 731 00:36:13,649 --> 00:36:15,303 to Orlando, 732 00:36:15,346 --> 00:36:17,305 circled around the clinic, 733 00:36:17,348 --> 00:36:19,655 waiting until it's after five, 734 00:36:19,698 --> 00:36:22,005 and then goes into the clinic. 735 00:36:22,048 --> 00:36:24,312 There was only one way to get in, 736 00:36:24,355 --> 00:36:25,704 which was the front door. 737 00:36:25,748 --> 00:36:28,751 So we know that he came through the front door. 738 00:36:29,317 --> 00:36:31,841 Distracted with his game of solitaire, 739 00:36:31,884 --> 00:36:33,886 Daniel must not have noticed Drinel 740 00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:36,280 as he passed through reception. 741 00:36:36,846 --> 00:36:38,674 Daniel has his back to him, 742 00:36:38,717 --> 00:36:41,242 shoots and kills Daniel first, 743 00:36:41,764 --> 00:36:43,287 and then as Griselda's cowering, 744 00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:46,421 and scrambling to get under her desk to protect herself, 745 00:36:46,464 --> 00:36:48,074 shoots her twice in the head, 746 00:36:49,946 --> 00:36:52,557 and then immediately leaves, 747 00:36:52,601 --> 00:36:53,689 gets back in his car, 748 00:36:53,732 --> 00:36:55,778 and heads back down Homestead. 749 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:59,651 That's the theory at least. 750 00:36:59,695 --> 00:37:01,044 But prosecutors know 751 00:37:01,087 --> 00:37:03,655 that in order to make this a slam dunk at trial, 752 00:37:03,699 --> 00:37:05,657 they'll need hard evidence. 753 00:37:05,701 --> 00:37:07,398 Now, remember the date. 754 00:37:07,442 --> 00:37:08,921 This is 2007. 755 00:37:08,965 --> 00:37:11,663 And what did we all have in 2007? 756 00:37:11,707 --> 00:37:13,056 Cell phones. 757 00:37:13,099 --> 00:37:17,103 So they got a warrant to look at his cell records. 758 00:37:17,147 --> 00:37:18,670 At this point in 2007, 759 00:37:18,714 --> 00:37:22,239 cell phone records are becoming a new key way 760 00:37:22,283 --> 00:37:24,110 of looking at cases. 761 00:37:24,154 --> 00:37:26,112 Cell phone records has put him traveling 762 00:37:26,156 --> 00:37:27,288 along the Turnpike, 763 00:37:27,331 --> 00:37:29,072 arriving in Orlando 764 00:37:29,115 --> 00:37:31,944 a significant time before the homicide occurred, 765 00:37:37,776 --> 00:37:40,736 Drinel Joseph calls a friend of Griselda's 766 00:37:40,779 --> 00:37:44,348 to try to find out exactly where Griselda was. 767 00:37:44,392 --> 00:37:46,089 So, he did establish the fact 768 00:37:46,132 --> 00:37:48,918 that Griselda was in the business. 769 00:37:49,832 --> 00:37:51,050 Using the cell phone records, 770 00:37:51,094 --> 00:37:53,052 the detectives were able to prove 771 00:37:53,096 --> 00:37:56,317 Drinel drove up from Homestead, 772 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,189 spent an hour and a half to two hours in Orlando, 773 00:37:59,232 --> 00:38:02,627 and then headed straight back down the Turnpike. 774 00:38:03,193 --> 00:38:04,977 Based on the cell phone records, 775 00:38:05,021 --> 00:38:06,588 we did obtain arrest warrant. 776 00:38:06,979 --> 00:38:10,331 We went back down to Homestead where we arrested him. 777 00:38:15,727 --> 00:38:18,251 On July 27th, 2007, 778 00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:22,865 11 months after he met 26-year-old Griselda Cassamajor 779 00:38:22,908 --> 00:38:24,780 in an Orlando nightclub, 780 00:38:24,823 --> 00:38:26,869 Drinel Joseph is arrested 781 00:38:26,912 --> 00:38:28,958 and charged with her murder. 782 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,352 He's also charged with the murder 783 00:38:31,395 --> 00:38:34,093 of 20-year-old Daniel Rivera, 784 00:38:34,137 --> 00:38:38,054 who was sadly in the wrong place at the wrong time. 785 00:38:41,449 --> 00:38:43,712 I was angry for a long time 786 00:38:43,755 --> 00:38:45,235 'cause it wasn't that you just took her. 787 00:38:45,278 --> 00:38:48,891 It wasn't that you shot her or that you killed her. 788 00:38:48,934 --> 00:38:51,415 But, what about her family? 789 00:38:51,459 --> 00:38:54,113 And it wasn't that you didn't know anybody in her family, 790 00:38:54,157 --> 00:38:55,767 you knew me. 791 00:38:55,811 --> 00:38:57,900 How could you do this? 792 00:38:58,596 --> 00:39:00,946 The detective call the family 793 00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:04,776 and tell them they are convinced he is the one that did it 794 00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:08,084 based on their evidence. 795 00:39:08,127 --> 00:39:10,956 It was such a relief for everybody. 796 00:39:14,090 --> 00:39:16,266 We felt like there was some type of closure 797 00:39:16,309 --> 00:39:18,660 to where we finally found out who was responsible, 798 00:39:18,703 --> 00:39:20,749 like turning the page in the book. 799 00:39:21,489 --> 00:39:23,969 You're closing the chapter, however you wanna call it. 800 00:39:25,971 --> 00:39:27,451 Danny was just there doing his job 801 00:39:27,495 --> 00:39:30,846 and just got caught up in Drinel's mess, unfortunately. 802 00:39:30,889 --> 00:39:34,893 It's just, it's gut wrenching. 803 00:39:40,421 --> 00:39:41,857 In May, 2008, 804 00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:45,513 Drinel Joseph is tried for the cold-blooded killings 805 00:39:45,556 --> 00:39:49,255 of Daniel Rivera and Griselda Cassamajor. 806 00:39:49,691 --> 00:39:51,475 I can tell you from experience, 807 00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:54,217 when you're trying a murder case as a prosecutor, 808 00:39:54,260 --> 00:39:57,960 you feel immense pressure to deliver justice 809 00:39:58,003 --> 00:40:00,832 to the families of the victims. 810 00:40:00,876 --> 00:40:03,356 The first day of any trial, you're very nervous. 811 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,968 I have a circumstantial case. 812 00:40:06,011 --> 00:40:10,102 I don't have any direct evidence that it's Drinel 813 00:40:10,146 --> 00:40:13,889 and he's sitting at the defendant's table, 814 00:40:13,932 --> 00:40:16,282 he's clean cut. 815 00:40:16,326 --> 00:40:18,067 And so I'm gonna have to prove to the jury 816 00:40:18,110 --> 00:40:19,938 that the person sitting there 817 00:40:19,982 --> 00:40:22,854 is capable of committing two murders. 818 00:40:24,943 --> 00:40:26,336 I kept looking at him. 819 00:40:26,379 --> 00:40:27,990 I said, "How does a person even come to that point?" 820 00:40:28,033 --> 00:40:30,732 Were you just, you're angry, you're sad, you're mad, 821 00:40:30,775 --> 00:40:33,125 name it, name any emotion, you're feeling it. 822 00:40:33,169 --> 00:40:35,388 Just wanting to jump over that, you know, 823 00:40:35,432 --> 00:40:38,957 that bench and just, you know. 824 00:40:41,830 --> 00:40:43,222 In that courtroom, 825 00:40:43,266 --> 00:40:46,182 that must have been the most emotions at once 826 00:40:46,225 --> 00:40:48,184 that I possibly could ever have felt. 827 00:40:50,055 --> 00:40:54,016 The one thing about the trial that sticks out to me, 828 00:40:54,059 --> 00:40:55,452 he had nothing to say. 829 00:40:55,496 --> 00:40:58,629 It was as if, "Oh, I'm sorry this happened to her." 830 00:40:59,064 --> 00:41:00,283 As if she wasn't a woman 831 00:41:00,326 --> 00:41:02,503 that you had been in a relationship with. 832 00:41:03,068 --> 00:41:07,072 As if she wasn't a woman that had just miscarried your baby. 833 00:41:08,030 --> 00:41:10,467 The trial last four days. 834 00:41:10,511 --> 00:41:12,251 And when he has a chance to speak, 835 00:41:12,295 --> 00:41:14,819 Drinel doesn't say a single word. 836 00:41:14,863 --> 00:41:17,126 I'm left with just one. 837 00:41:17,169 --> 00:41:18,519 Why? 838 00:41:19,998 --> 00:41:22,348 On May 22nd, 2008, 839 00:41:22,392 --> 00:41:24,568 Drinel Joseph is convicted 840 00:41:24,612 --> 00:41:26,570 and sentenced to life in prison 841 00:41:26,614 --> 00:41:29,094 without the possibility of parole. 842 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,970 It was like, just weight off my shoulder. 843 00:41:35,492 --> 00:41:38,843 This guy is now gonna pay for what he did. 844 00:41:39,496 --> 00:41:40,497 I'm relieved. 845 00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:42,455 I'm happy for the victims. 846 00:41:42,499 --> 00:41:44,632 You spend some time with the victim's family, 847 00:41:44,675 --> 00:41:46,634 you're connected with them. 848 00:41:46,677 --> 00:41:48,549 So, it was a great feeling. 849 00:41:50,246 --> 00:41:51,682 I want Danny to be remembered 850 00:41:51,726 --> 00:41:53,989 as exactly how I remember him. 851 00:41:54,032 --> 00:41:56,861 Just his smile. 852 00:41:56,905 --> 00:41:58,863 His smile, man. 853 00:42:00,038 --> 00:42:03,912 He's such a loving soul. 854 00:42:03,955 --> 00:42:05,000 He was a great soul. 855 00:42:05,043 --> 00:42:06,610 Great soul to be around. 856 00:42:07,742 --> 00:42:10,222 From time to time, I do go to the, you know, the cemetery. 857 00:42:10,266 --> 00:42:11,659 I go and I sit down at the grave 858 00:42:11,702 --> 00:42:14,009 and I talk to him about anything. 859 00:42:14,575 --> 00:42:17,578 Drinel took a great soul, 860 00:42:17,621 --> 00:42:19,188 a good friend, 861 00:42:19,231 --> 00:42:20,581 a sister, 862 00:42:20,624 --> 00:42:23,061 this awesome woman. 863 00:42:23,540 --> 00:42:25,542 I lost my rock. 864 00:42:25,586 --> 00:42:28,066 The world lost a beautiful spirit. 865 00:42:28,110 --> 00:42:29,590 You can hear her infectious laugh. 866 00:42:29,633 --> 00:42:32,680 You could see her smile brighten up the room. 867 00:42:33,463 --> 00:42:35,900 She made an impact wherever she went. 868 00:42:36,727 --> 00:42:38,903 By the time you left her, 869 00:42:38,947 --> 00:42:41,384 something about her was gonna resonate with you. 870 00:42:41,427 --> 00:42:44,256 So that's what the world is missing. 871 00:42:45,344 --> 00:42:47,259 She's irreplaceable. 872 00:42:50,741 --> 00:42:52,656 Griselda Cassamajor, 873 00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:55,050 a vibrant, intelligent woman, 874 00:42:55,093 --> 00:42:59,141 struck down by violence from a man she once loved. 875 00:42:59,184 --> 00:43:01,404 Griselda was full of hope and joy 876 00:43:01,447 --> 00:43:03,580 and trying to live her best life. 877 00:43:03,624 --> 00:43:06,235 She didn't deserve to have that dream stolen 878 00:43:06,278 --> 00:43:08,977 by a jealous and abusive killer, 879 00:43:09,020 --> 00:43:12,154 who also took the young life of Danny Rivera. 880 00:43:12,197 --> 00:43:14,939 Justice was served in this case, 881 00:43:14,983 --> 00:43:17,986 but no sentence can ever bring true comfort 882 00:43:18,029 --> 00:43:21,598 to the family and friends of Griselda and Danny. 883 00:43:21,642 --> 00:43:23,861 All we have left are the memories 884 00:43:23,905 --> 00:43:26,168 of two greatly loved people, 885 00:43:26,211 --> 00:43:29,301 lost to a killer relationship.
