  - Exactly. It just--           153 00:07:57,743 --> 00:07:59,412   It didn't make sense.          154 00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:03,916  - A death so sudden and brutal,  no one could make sense of it.  155 00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:05,284 - Somebody's got                 a beef with him.                 156 00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:08,387 But who?                         Who would it be?                 157 00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,857   - Finding that out would take     Jon Hickey's family           158 00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:15,995 down a dark path,                  revealing long held secrets.

  Look what we have here, huh?   - It was.                        162 00:08:29,141 --> 00:08:33,412    It was one of those moments     where you say, "Wow!"          163 00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:36,649   - And a wife confronted with   a devastating accusation.        164 00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:38,551 - I mean,                        what do you want from me?        165 00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:41,621   - Absolutely nothing.           - T-There's no secret!          166 00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:46,025    ♪♪                            167 00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:46,859    ♪

 - When first responders          arrived at Jon Hickey's         171 00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:58,938    Baltimore apartment             for a wellness check,          172 00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:02,041 they met Jennifer McKay,           Jon's new girlfriend.          173 00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:03,509   She was worried sick.          174 00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:07,346   - I've Facebook messaged him,   I've called, I've text.         175 00:09:07,446 --> 00:09:11,150 - She and Jon had been on a date   earlier in the week.           176 00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:13,185  Here they are on CCTV.          177 00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,521   Then Jon went silent.          178 00:09:15,621 --> 00:09:18,291    She waited while responders   went into the apartment.         179 00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,126

  the devastating news           182 00:09:23,362 --> 00:09:24,964 right there on the spot.         183 00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:28,401   - In order to resolve             this situation, hopefully,    184 00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:29,735   we're gonna need y-your help.  185 00:09:29,835 --> 00:09:32,271  We're going to need you          to stick around, okay?          186 00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:34,540

189 00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:39,979    - I think Jen was in shock       to be here.                   190 00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,847    - At that stage of              the investigation, detective,  191 00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:44,817  what specific questions           did you have for her?          192 00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:49,221  - Basically a sequence           of events, a timeline.          193 00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:52,158   - The timeline began            some six weeks before,          194 00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:54,894    when Jennifer McKay           and Jon Hickey met online        195 00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:56,929    and then in person.           196 00:10:03,302 --> 00:10:05,237   Who is she turning out to be?  197 00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:08,975  - Turns out that she was trying   to start a new life with Jon.  198 00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:10,943 She appeared to be happy.        199 00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:15,548 Just a regular boyfriend,          girlfriend situation.          200 00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:41,874   - Jon seemed to feel             the same way.                  201 00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:44,276 Vaughn and O'Connor learned that   he spent Thanksgiving          202 00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,012   with Jennifer                    and gushed about her           203 00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:47,847  to his mom, Kim Hickey.         204 00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:49,215   You met her.                      What did you think of her?    205 00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:52,284 - I thought she was pretty nice.    We got along great.           206 00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:54,654  - Do you think this was           a serious woman in his life?   207 00:10:54,754 --> 00:10:58,057   - He said, "Mom, s-she loves     everything I'm doing.          208 00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:00,326   She's into the hockey            and all this stuff that I do   209 00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,328 and everything."                 210 00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:06,599    And I thought, "Okay, well,   you know, it's too soon,         211 00:11:06,699 --> 00:11:10,169    but I-I'll just keep an eye   and hope everything works        212 00:11:10,269 --> 00:11:12,605  the right way for you.          213 00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:15,141 - His firefighter buddies          heard about her too,           214 00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:17,076    and they gave him a little       good natured grief            215 00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:20,112   about love in bloom.           216 00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:22,415    - Brian McDermott,              Jon's mentor.                  217 00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,518 Scott Amigh, a volunteer         who rode with Jon                218 00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:28,621   and Uncle Jon Hickey.          219 00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:32,091   He was smitten, huh?           220 00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:33,492   - No, he was in love.             He wasn't smitten.            221 00:11:33,592 --> 00:11:36,128   - W-We talked about that too,  when he, uh, posted his--        222 00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:39,565 He changed his status to          in a relationship on Facebook.  223 00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:40,900   - And then Jen made the joke.  224 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,803   "Yeah, he told everybody else     before he told me!"           225 00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:45,805  But you could just see             he had butterflies.           226 00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:46,872  You just could see it.          227 00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:49,709    He was, uh,                    he was in love.                 228 00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:51,243   - Things were coming together   for Jon                         229 00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:53,312   in his professional life too.  230 00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:55,781 He came from generations         of firefighters,                 231 00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:58,451    began volunteering             when he was 21.                 232 00:11:58,551 --> 00:11:59,985    His home station was here,    233 00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:03,823  the Woodlawn Volunteer          Fire Company, Station 33.        234 00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,558  Did he have it?                   Was he gonna make it?          235 00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:09,028    - Well, you don't know that    'til he hits that fire.         236 00:12:09,128 --> 00:12:11,397    But when you hit that door,     that's when you know           237 00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:13,733 if you have a firefighter         for you or not.                 238 00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:16,435 - That firehouse measure            of the right stuff.           239 00:12:16,535 --> 00:12:17,703    I like the thought.           240 00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:20,372 Do you have what it takes         when you hit the door?          241 00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,175 Can you run into                    a burning building?           242 00:12:23,275 --> 00:12:26,445    That phrase "hit the door"      went a long way to explaining  243 00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:30,983 what made Jon Hickey tick           and why he was so beloved.    244 00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,586  How did he do?                     - He went through the door.   245 00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,789  He went through the door, and-  and I'll say 90% of firefighters 246 00:12:36,889 --> 00:12:39,492  probably can't make it             through that door.            247 00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,660   - The detectives learned Jon      was about to become           248 00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,129  a full time firefighter         249 00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:45,164  for the Baltimore City          Fire Department,                 250 00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:48,868   due to enter the fire academy   a few days after he was killed. 251 00:12:52,838 --> 00:12:55,941   - He was so excited,             he called me, he said, "Mom",  252 00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:56,842   he says, "I told you,          253 00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:58,344   everything is falling             into place.                   254 00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,112 He says, "I got my house.        255 00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:03,048  I just got accepted to          the city fire department.        256 00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:08,387  Everything is coming together,   and I found the person I love." 257 00:13:08,487 --> 00:13:10,856  - Now, Jon's new love,           Jennifer McKay,                 258 00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,259  was sitting in                  a police interview room,         259 00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:14,894   and she was about to            shed some light                 260 00:13:14,994 --> 00:13:16,996 on his mysterious death.         261 00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:18,964    In the weeks before            Jon was killed,                 262 00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:22,234  she said strange things            started happening.            263 00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:49,061    Then a week before            Jon was killed, his dog,         264 00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:53,465   a border collie named Chance,   suddenly died.                  265 00:13:53,566 --> 00:13:56,702 - Well, the dog was his,           you know, that was his world.  266 00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:58,404   Just a beautiful dog.          267 00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:01,774  - He came in that day,          he was in tears.                 268 00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:03,576    And you were, too.             - Yeah.                         269 00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,878    - He came home and               found the dog dead?           270 00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:07,813  - The dog started getting sick  all of a sudden.                 271 00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:11,383  The dog was in perfect health,   and we assume he was poisoned.  272 00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:16,355 - There was never                   any proof of that.            273 00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:19,091    But then something happened     that was potentially deadly.   274 00:14:19,191 --> 00:14:22,695  The brakes in Jon's car            were tampered with.           275 00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:24,997 - It was cut, which would        eliminate your brakes completely 276 00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:27,066  once the fluid ran out.         277 00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:30,636    ♪♪                            278 00:14:32,972 --> 00:14:33,038    ♪                             279 00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:39,612    ♪♪                            280 00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:42,882   - Jon Hickey's family            was reeling over his murder.   281 00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:43,916   As far as they knew,           282 00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:46,218  he didn't have                   an enemy in the world.          283 00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:49,488  - I didn't know anybody          that was really angry with him. 284 00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:52,024 That's why I couldn't figure out    how come, you know,           285 00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:55,227   my son gets murdered?          For what?                        286 00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:57,096 - He was just that person          that would--                   287 00:14:57,196 --> 00:15:01,133   He was always giving,          always giving, you know?         288 00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:04,403   - Yeah, that was him.          - No matter what it was.         289 00:15:04,503 --> 00:15:06,939    - But it seems someone had     targeted the young firefighter  290 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:08,674   in the weeks before he died.   291 00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,809 Jon was getting harassing calls. 292 00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,612 The dog he adored                 died suddenly.                  293 00:15:13,712 --> 00:15:15,648 And then the most chilling thing  of all,                         294 00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,816  at the end of a weekend         at his girlfriend's home         295 00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:20,219    an hour north of Baltimore.   296 00:15:20,319 --> 00:15:24,490   - And when Jon went to leave    Monday morning,                 297 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:27,059 there was something weird           going on with his vehicle,    298 00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:31,664  like his brakes                    weren't working correctly.    299 00:15:40,839 --> 00:15:43,242 - Jon Hickey knew his way          around a car.                  300 00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:45,177    He made his living             as a mechanic.                  301 00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:48,380  - Jon's mechanically inclined.     - And his buddy Scott Amigh   302 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,349  owns an auto body shop.         303 00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:52,518   When Jon showed Scott             what had happened,            304 00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:55,120  Scott was sure someone          had deliberately tampered        305 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:57,056    with the rubber brake line.   306 00:15:57,156 --> 00:16:01,093    - No doubt in my mind that       this was a cut brake line.    307 00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:03,329   Whether it was a pair           of scissors or a knife,         308 00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:04,396    it was cut,                   309 00:16:04,496 --> 00:16:05,764   which would eliminate           your brakes completely          310 00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:07,666  once the fluid ran out.         311 00:16:07,766 --> 00:16:09,301   - Which meant if he tried to      drive the vehicle,            312 00:16:09,401 --> 00:16:11,103  it would end up in wreck, huh?     - Correct.                    313 00:16:11,203 --> 00:16:12,004    - What does that tell you?    314 00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:13,505   Something's going on            with this guy.                  315 00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:17,076   - It appears that someone is      out for Mr. Hickey.           316 00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:18,377 - Did you think there was           a straight line to            317 00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,413    him being a victim,            dead on his couch of a gunshot? 318 00:16:21,513 --> 00:16:22,648 - It seemed like                    a series of events            319 00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,883  were starting to add up to, um, 320 00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:27,753 what ultimately ended up         being his death.                 321 00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:30,422 - But how to find whoever        was behind those events?         322 00:16:30,522 --> 00:16:32,624 Were they even connected         to Jon's murder?                 323 00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:34,093   They couldn't rule that out.   324 00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:35,861   In the police interview room,    the detectives probed          325 00:16:35,961 --> 00:16:39,298  Jennifer McKay,                    looking for leads.            326 00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:01,353   It would be up to Vaughan and    O'Connor to connect the dots.  327 00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:03,889    They were wondering exactly   how Jon's new girlfriend         328 00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:05,724   fit into the picture.          329 00:17:05,824 --> 00:17:06,692   You don't suspect her          330 00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:08,160 or you can't go that far,         at this point?                  331 00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,863 - At that point,                 I don't suspect, I don't.        332 00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:13,232  We had nothing that, you know,     tied her to                   333 00:17:13,332 --> 00:17:15,300 the death of Jon Hickey.         334 00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:18,570    But keep in mind also that      when we're speaking with her   335 00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:22,641  at that moment, remember this--  The case is unwinding,          336 00:17:22,741 --> 00:17:26,512 like we're gathering information   as we're going along.          337 00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:28,647   - The detectives continued to     gather information            338 00:17:28,747 --> 00:17:30,983   from the crime scene as well,     focusing on                   339 00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:33,519  how the killer may have         entered Jon's apartment.         340 00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:35,854 - There is a, uh,                 rear door open.                 341 00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:38,157 - First responders found           the front door locked          342 00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:39,124    and bolted.                   343 00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:40,692  So it looked as though          the killer got in                344 00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:42,094 from the back of                  the apartment,                  345 00:17:42,194 --> 00:17:44,797 accessed by this narrow passage. 346 00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:47,266   Detective, you really got to   scope these buildings out        347 00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:48,834  to figure out what's back here  348 00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:50,202 and how you find                    where you're going.           349 00:17:50,302 --> 00:17:51,670 - Yes, you definitely do.        - You do.                        350 00:17:51,770 --> 00:17:55,307    - And have to watch your--    Watch your steps.                351 00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:57,843 - The passage leads here.        352 00:17:57,943 --> 00:18:00,546   So where are we now?              - We're behind Jon's house.   353 00:18:00,646 --> 00:18:03,015  This is his apartment.          354 00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:06,518   - When detectives surveilled    the back alley, they saw this.  355 00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:09,321   - And lo and behold,           there's a camera,                356 00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:12,291    looking dead at us.           Picture perfect.                 357 00:18:12,391 --> 00:18:14,126 - The camera was mounted          on a neighbor's house,          358 00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:17,162    pointed at Jon's back door.   359 00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:18,530   - Is that where you'd want to   place a camera                  360 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:20,999   for what you're looking for?   - Oh, absolutely.                361 00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,002    I couldn't ask for anything     better than that right there.  362 00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,772 - For this case, it was perfect.    - Picture perfect.            363 00:18:26,872 --> 00:18:27,773 Picture perfect.                 364 00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:28,907  - A TV director himself         would have put it                365 00:18:29,007 --> 00:18:31,243    in that same place.            - Right there.                  366 00:18:31,343 --> 00:18:34,513    - But accessing the camera       wasn't going to be simple.    367 00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,515    This is a citizen's camera.      It's his property.            368 00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:38,750   Presumably it's not a city--      - Yes, yes.                   369 00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:43,088   So we have to make efforts to   contact the owner of the camera 370 00:18:43,188 --> 00:18:45,824   and get permission to           get the camera itself,          371 00:18:45,924 --> 00:18:49,795    so we can pull the footage     and review it.                  372 00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:52,865  - The million dollar question,     was it even running           373 00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:55,000    on the night of the murder?   374 00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:59,371  - Sometimes, uh, we get lucky.  375 00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:01,373  - And this was                     one of those times.           376 00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:03,675  The camera was running             that night.                   377 00:19:03,775 --> 00:19:05,844  That back alley                    surveillance device           378 00:19:05,944 --> 00:19:07,779    would become known              in the evidence file           379 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,249  as camera number four.          380 00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:13,452    It would prove to be almost   as valuable to the investigation 381 00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:16,288   as any DNA or blood evidence.  382 00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:18,023  Detectives sent it off          to the crime lab                 383 00:19:18,123 --> 00:19:19,825 to download the footage,         384 00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:21,860    then turned their attention   back to the scene                385 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,062    and another promising lead.   386 00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,598  Something lying                  in plain sight.                 387 00:19:26,698 --> 00:19:29,635   A document belonging            to a stranger.                  388 00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:30,936   So in the front room,           we've got a man                 389 00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:33,071    shot through the forehead.       - Correct.                    390 00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,374  - And in the back room,           we've got a passport.          391 00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:37,543    - Correct.                       Who is this person?           392 00:19:37,643 --> 00:19:39,111  - Is this your killer,          393 00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:41,346    who may have inadvertently      left this ID behind?           394 00:19:41,446 --> 00:19:47,719    ♪♪                            395 00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:48,520    ♪                             396 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:54,493    ♪♪                            397 00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:55,928    - It's a suspicious death.    398 00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,397 It appears to be a gunshot wound   to the head.                   399 00:19:58,497 --> 00:20:00,332  - Baltimore police were          investigating the death         400 00:20:00,432 --> 00:20:02,834    of a volunteer firefighter,      Jon Hickey,                   401 00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,670   discovered dead on his couch.  402 00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:06,705  No signs of a struggle.         403 00:20:09,408 --> 00:20:11,543    Jon's station house buddies     were still trying to           404 00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:13,378   wrap their brains around it.   405 00:20:13,478 --> 00:20:15,447  I mean, all of you know           you may not come back          406 00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:18,483    from a given shift            if something goes wrong,         407 00:20:18,584 --> 00:20:20,018  but that's not                    what this thing was.           408 00:20:20,118 --> 00:20:22,321   - No, and we could accept it    if it--                         409 00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:23,755 - Yeah, if it was                   a different story.            410 00:20:23,855 --> 00:20:26,191   If he died in a fire,           we'd still be terrible.         411 00:20:26,291 --> 00:20:28,927   Terrible thing to do, but...      - Guy sleeping on his couch   412 00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:30,596 and gets a bullet                between the eyes.                413 00:20:30,696 --> 00:20:32,965  - Can't get much more innocent.    - Sleeping!                   414 00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,234   I mean, it is                  just devastating.                415 00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:36,702    - It was horrible.            416 00:20:36,802 --> 00:20:38,971   - It was a scene that haunted  even a seasoned detective        417 00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:40,706    like Ryan O'Connor.           418 00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:43,709   - Something I always remember     is his slippers were, like,   419 00:20:43,809 --> 00:20:46,044    perfectly lined up               right in front of the couch   420 00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:48,447   where he was laying.           421 00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:51,717   It was literally like          he took his slippers off         422 00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:55,187    and then was gonna lay down     and watch TV.                  423 00:20:55,287 --> 00:20:57,923    - He had everything              in the world going for him.   424 00:20:58,023 --> 00:20:59,625    Everything.                     He was nice looking.           425 00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:02,861   He was young,                  he was energetic.                426 00:21:02,961 --> 00:21:06,064 He had the world                    at his fingertips.            427 00:21:06,164 --> 00:21:08,867   - The detectives were working  several intriguing leads,        428 00:21:08,967 --> 00:21:11,637  but so far, they hadn't caught   any big breaks.                 429 00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:13,639    - We didn't have a witness.     - Ah.                          430 00:21:13,739 --> 00:21:15,874   - The witness                    is the most key thing          431 00:21:15,974 --> 00:21:19,044   that you could possibly have     in an investigation.           432 00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:21,446   It was basically, uh,           unfortunately,                  433 00:21:21,546 --> 00:21:23,248  a dead person inside of a house 434 00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:27,085 and no witness to tell us          the story behind it.           435 00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:28,787 - You wish the neighbors           heard something, they didn't.  436 00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:30,422  - Yes.                          - You wish the crime scene techs 437 00:21:30,522 --> 00:21:32,157    had come up with something,     they didn't.                   438 00:21:32,257 --> 00:21:35,560   - Fingerprints, DNA,              something that says           439 00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:36,862   we're in the right ballpark.

   The scene in Jon's bedroom      looked fake,                   443 00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:47,439  as if someone wanted it          to look like a robbery.         444 00:21:47,539 --> 00:21:49,808  But nothing was taken.          445 00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:53,145  - It looks like it was tossed,    but it looks staged.           446 00:21:53,245 --> 00:21:54,379    That's what it looked like.   447 00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:55,280    - Someone wants me,            the detective,                  448 00:21:55,380 --> 00:21:56,581    to think that this             was a burglary.                 449 00:21:56,682 --> 00:21:58,717    - It looks staged.            450 00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:01,453   - Jon's photography equipment    wasn't even touched.           451 00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:03,922 And it was high end gear.        452 00:22:04,022 --> 00:22:05,590   Jon was a passionate             photographer,                  453 00:22:05,691 --> 00:22:07,426  earnings money                     from his pictures,            454 00:22:07,526 --> 00:22:10,095 posting videos of                   himself on YouTube,           455 00:22:10,195 --> 00:22:13,165  prowling around                  camera in hand.                 456 00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:15,701   One time he finagled his way    into this old building          457 00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:18,437    down by Baltimore's docks.    458 00:22:18,537 --> 00:22:19,938 - Somehow he sweet talks         the guard                        459 00:22:20,038 --> 00:22:25,544    to get through the gate and    he's in his abandoned building  460 00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:29,748    and he gets his picture of     this amazing lifeboat.          461 00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:32,918    It has to be 100 years old      or something.                  462 00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:37,255  - It was a hobby that sometimes    took him into dark corners    463 00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,759   of the city.                     - He loved the city.           464 00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:43,362  He would go all over the place    in the city.                   465 00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:45,297  - Yeah.                          - Yeah. All hours of the night.

   But he had no fear.           469 00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:56,441  - Did a nighttime encounter in  one of those abandoned buildings 470 00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:58,410  come back to haunt him?         471 00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:01,413 Or was it someone                 closer to home?                 472 00:23:01,513 --> 00:23:04,082   The detectives had discovered    something at the crime scene,  473 00:23:04,182 --> 00:23:07,352 a clue, perhaps,                 almost staring them in the face. 474 00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:10,522   A passport belonging to a man   no one seemed to know.

   shot through the forehead.       - Correct.                    478 00:23:16,762 --> 00:23:18,997  - And in the back room            we've got a passport.          479 00:23:19,097 --> 00:23:20,198 Are these things related?        480 00:23:20,298 --> 00:23:21,933   That's what you're wondering,  I guess, as a detective.         481 00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:23,769    - Correct.                       Who is this person?           482 00:23:23,869 --> 00:23:25,270  - Is this your killer,          483 00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:27,639    who may have inadvertently      left this ID behind?

486 00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,011  - Yeah. So that was definitely  part of the investigation        487 00:23:33,111 --> 00:23:37,048 that we had to track down         and run out that lead.          488 00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:38,417    - And that's what they did.   489 00:23:38,517 --> 00:23:41,920   Tracked down Brandon             and interviewed him.           490 00:23:47,692 --> 00:23:49,528 Brandon told them                  he couldn't remember           491 00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:51,897    because he'd been in a coma   following a nasty                492 00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:55,534    motorcycle accident           the year before.                 493 00:24:09,614 --> 00:24:12,017   - He had a traumatic             brain injury,                  494 00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:14,085

   who Jon Hickey was,           497 00:24:17,756 --> 00:24:21,660   and he believes that he lost      his passport at some point.   498 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,230   Not sure where, how, or when.  499 00:24:25,330 --> 00:24:27,766 - How Brandon's passport          got into the apartment          500 00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:30,769    remained a mystery.           501 00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:33,038

   But there was someone else    Jennifer mentioned to detectives 504 00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:51,156   that caught their attention.   505 00:24:51,256 --> 00:24:53,358 She said she called a man           right before she asked for    506 00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,927    that wellness check on Jon.   507 00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:04,569  - It was weird.                 508 00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:09,074

  when Jenn and Daniel           589 00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:40,518 decided to tie the knot,         590 00:28:40,618 --> 00:28:42,454    he made sure Kayla            took center stage                591 00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:43,788 at their wedding.                592 00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:46,324 - After we did our vows,            he read something to Kayla    593 00:28:46,424 --> 00:28:48,193   and gave her a ring,           and was, like, promising         594 00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:50,628    to take care of her             and be there for her.          595 00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:51,596  So it was like                   a whole thing.                  596 00:28:51,696 --> 00:28:53,131 - Words that you                    were happy to hear?           597 00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:55,066   - Yeah, very much so.          598 00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:57,936   - Daniel and Jenn went on to      have a child of their own,    599 00:28:58,036 --> 00:28:59,938   baby Madeline Grace.           600 00:29:00,038 --> 00:29:02,140 - He was a very dedicated        and devoted dad.                 601 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,975    Very present for both kids.   602 00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:05,043 - So you thought                  you made a good choice.         603 00:29:05,143 --> 00:29:07,879 He's a good guy?                  - I did, I really did.          604 00:29:07,979 --> 00:29:10,348    - But things began            to change in 2009                605 00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:13,618   when Daniel suffered             a serious injury on the job.   606 00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:15,019  While fighting a fire,          607 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,057    he inhaled hazardous gasses    that damaged his lungs.         608 00:29:19,157 --> 00:29:20,925    - And then he started with    like a really bad cough,         609 00:29:21,025 --> 00:29:22,560   difficulty breathing.          610 00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:25,063 Um, anytime he got a cold         or anything like that,          611 00:29:25,163 --> 00:29:27,832 it was full-blown                   respiratory issues.           612 00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:30,101    - In June of 2013,            613 00:29:30,201 --> 00:29:33,471   Daniel was medically             retired from the job.          614 00:29:33,571 --> 00:29:34,472   - How did he deal with that?   615 00:29:34,572 --> 00:29:35,874  I mean, he's hanging up            this career                   616 00:29:35,974 --> 00:29:37,075 that he's so invested in.        617 00:29:37,175 --> 00:29:38,209  - Uh, terribly.                 618 00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:40,178   You could see that he           just didn't really know         619 00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:43,214 how to deal with                 the loss of this career.         620 00:29:43,314 --> 00:29:45,850    He was not the same person       after that.                   621 00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,820    - The job loss took a toll       on their marriage as well.    622 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,121 - The tides were                  turning with us                 623 00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:51,556    and there's tension           in our marriage,                 624 00:29:51,656 --> 00:29:52,657 and what are you                   going to do?                   625 00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:54,559 How are we gonna                  pay our bills?                  626 00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:57,529    - Jenn said Daniel            slowly grew more distant.        627 00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:01,166    - I noticed that he wasn't,     uh, really accepting           628 00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:02,801 advances for me anymore.         629 00:30:02,901 --> 00:30:05,436  And as a woman,                   you kind of are like,          630 00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:07,505    there aren't many men that       are going to turn it down.    631 00:30:07,605 --> 00:30:09,474   Uh, that's just how men are.   632 00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:11,476 So I kind of put                   two and two together           633 00:30:11,576 --> 00:30:12,844  that, you know, he has          634 00:30:12,944 --> 00:30:14,979    to be getting this              from somewhere else.           635 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:17,582    - Cops have                    their own investigative tools,  636 00:30:17,682 --> 00:30:19,617    DNA analysis and the like.    637 00:30:19,717 --> 00:30:21,219    Suspicious spouses,             we've learned                  638 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:22,821    over and again on Dateline,   639 00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:24,189   have something else.           640 00:30:24,289 --> 00:30:27,525    Their instinct that              something is afoot.           641 00:30:27,625 --> 00:30:29,727  Jenn's nose was                    twitching for sure.           642 00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,565    - Then, four months             after Daniel retired,          643 00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:36,134  Jenn discovered                   gut-wrenching proof.           644 00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:38,203 Daniel was having                   an affair.                    645 00:30:38,303 --> 00:30:40,038   - How'd you know that           he was messing around?          646 00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:41,573 - It was all over                 our phone bill.                 647 00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:44,075    Thousands of text messages    to his mistress.                 648 00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,376    - Did you know who she was?   649 00:30:45,476 --> 00:30:47,212 - I did.                           I called the number,           650 00:30:47,312 --> 00:30:50,281    and she picked up,              and I knew her voice.          651 00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:53,918   - Turns out the two women ran     in the same social circles.   652 00:30:54,018 --> 00:30:55,019 And she knew you.                653 00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:56,688   - She knew who I was.             She knew who his wife was.    654 00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,656    She knew who his kids were.      She-- yeah.                   655 00:30:58,756 --> 00:31:01,226  She knew who his family           was for sure.                  656 00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:03,161   - Who is this person?           Who is the other woman?         657 00:31:03,261 --> 00:31:05,697 - Jen McKay is her name.         658 00:31:05,797 --> 00:31:08,700 - Jennifer McKay,                Daniel's longtime friend,        659 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,736  The same woman who would later  start dating Jon Hickey,         660 00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:15,440   and who'd call police            asking them to check on him.   661 00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:16,975    During their investigation,   662 00:31:17,075 --> 00:31:19,377    Detectives learned             about the affair, too,          663 00:31:19,477 --> 00:31:21,379    from Jennifer McKay           herself.                         664 00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:38,263    - Did she know, Detective,       that he was a married guy?    665 00:31:38,363 --> 00:31:39,831  - Yes.                          666 00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:41,332  - But what did                   all of this have to do          667 00:31:41,432 --> 00:31:43,301 with Jon Hickey's murder?        668 00:31:43,401 --> 00:31:45,737  Detectives were                  determined to find out.         669 00:31:45,837 --> 00:31:48,840    After all, affairs               of the heart can be messy,    670 00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,809 and Cupid's arrow                 can be deadly.                  671 00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:55,213 - I mean, the common denominator   is Ms. McKay.                  672 00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:58,950   She seems to be the lynchpin    for whatever occurred.          673 00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:14,165 -                                674 00:32:14,165 --> 00:32:14,198 - Fi

  where there's smoke,             there's fire.                  693 00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:21,639    Homicide detectives            have one, too.                  694 00:32:21,739 --> 00:32:25,310   Where there's murder,          there's often infidelity.        695 00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:27,946  I'm thinking this could          be a classic ingredient         696 00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:29,514  in a homicide.                     - Correct.                    697 00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,182   - Infidelity, married people.  698 00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:32,150    - Domestic related.

   started dating Jon Hickey,    704 00:32:40,191 --> 00:32:41,559    she began having an affair    705 00:32:41,659 --> 00:32:44,228   with the very married           Daniel Greene.                  706 00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:47,165    - Jenn, how hurtful             was this infidelity?           707 00:32:47,265 --> 00:32:48,599  - Oh, it was--                   - Put some words to it.         708 00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,335    - It was horrible.              It was just--                  709 00:32:50,435 --> 00:32:54,405   you know, you wonder,            where did I go wrong?          710 00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:57,342 I finally confronted him           and, you know, said,           711 00:32:57,442 --> 00:32:59,010    Hey, what's going on here?    712 00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,478  And he's like,                     we're just friends.           713 00:33:00,578 --> 00:33:01,779 I'm like, I have                 a lot of friends,                714 00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:04,349   and we don't                    text message thousands,         715 00:33:04,449 --> 00:33:06,484    like 1,500 a month              text messages                  716 00:33:06,584 --> 00:33:07,852

  We can talk to about           what's going on.                 719 00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:14,258   And he was like, No, no, no,    there's nothing wrong.          720 00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:15,994  I'm gonna stop                   talking to her.                 721 00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:17,428   I've stopped talking to her.   722 00:33:17,528 --> 00:33:18,429 - It's all over.                  It's done, huh?                 723 00:33:18,529 --> 00:33:20,164   - It's-- and it's not            on my phone anymore,           724 00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:23,468   you know, on our phone bill,      so I'm like, okay.            725 00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:25,837    - Helping matters,            Daniel, by now had landed        726 00:33:25,937 --> 00:33:28,940  a great new job

to different army bases.         729 00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:35,279  - Seemed to be                    a good fit for his skill set.  730 00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,148    - Totally.                    731 00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:39,484    - But the smoldering embers     of an illicit affair           732 00:33:39,584 --> 00:33:41,686    can be hard to extinguish.    733 00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:44,922    Jenn began to sense              Daniel drifting away again.   734 00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:47,392    His work trips were              getting longer and longer,    735 00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:51,029    while family vacations were     getting shorter and shorter.   736 00:33:51,129 --> 00:33:52,263 - I specifically                   remember one.                  737 00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,498    We took Madeline--            We surprised her                 738 00:33:53,598 --> 00:33:55,266    with a trip                   to Disney World.                 739 00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:57,468  And at the end                    of the trip, he said,          740 00:33:57,568 --> 00:33:59,604   um, I have to leave.           741 00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:00,538   He's like, I need you             to drive me                   742 00:34:00,638 --> 00:34:01,906 to the airport in Tampa.         743 00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:03,174  And we were in Orlando.         744 00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:05,243 And I'm like, why do you         need to fly out of Tampa?        745 00:34:05,343 --> 00:34:06,411   - He was running out on you.    - Yeah.                         746 00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:08,246    Just, like, leaving           us high and dry.                 747 00:34:08,346 --> 00:34:11,416   And I flew back home            with my daughter alone.         748 00:34:11,516 --> 00:34:12,617 - People probably                  wonder at this point           749 00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:14,352  why you didn't give him           his marching orders.           750 00:34:14,452 --> 00:34:15,987   Hello, 1-800-DIVORCE.            You're done.                   751 00:34:16,087 --> 00:34:19,223   - Yeah, I grew up in              a-a Christian home            752 00:34:19,323 --> 00:34:21,726   where you, you know,             you fight for your marriage.   753 00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:23,561  You figure out,                    Hey, what's going on here?    754 00:34:24,862 --> 00:34:27,265    - Then came November 2016,    755 00:34:27,365 --> 00:34:29,367  one year before                   Jon Hickey's murder,           756 00:34:29,467 --> 00:34:31,769    the weekend                      after Thanksgiving.           757 00:34:31,869 --> 00:34:34,172  Daniel told Jen he was            taking their daughter Maddie   758 00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:36,474    to a buddy's house               to watch football.            759 00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:37,642   - They came home at,            like, you know,                 760 00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,243  seven or eight o'clock            that evening.                  761 00:34:39,343 --> 00:34:43,514   And in line with, like, when      a football game would end.    762 00:34:43,614 --> 00:34:44,949  - While putting                  Maddie to bed,                  763 00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:47,518  Jen asked her if she'd             had fun watching the game.    764 00:34:47,618 --> 00:34:51,522    That's when Maddie            unwittingly dropped a bombshell. 765 00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:53,157  - And she said,                    we didn't go there.           766 00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:54,225   - And I said,                  what do you mean?                767 00:34:54,325 --> 00:34:55,893 And she said, oh, we went          to daddy's friend's,           768 00:34:55,993 --> 00:34:58,830   Jen's house for Thanksgiving   with her family.                 769 00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:00,798    - With her family.               - With her family.            770 00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,967   And I was like, what?            - And your daughter together?  771 00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:05,736  - Yeah, and I was like,            I'm sorry,                    772 00:35:05,837 --> 00:35:07,105  What did you just say?          773 00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:08,539  - Is this a big moment          on the timeline?                 774 00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:10,875    - Huge, huge moment for me.   775 00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:12,877  - Jenn had hit                     her breaking point.           776 00:35:12,977 --> 00:35:14,145   After putting                   Maddie to bed,                  777 00:35:14,245 --> 00:35:17,315  she stormed downstairs           to find Daniel.                 778 00:35:17,415 --> 00:35:19,417   - I just said to him,           Hey, you know,                  779 00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:20,885    were you at                     Jen's house tonight?           780 00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:23,321 And he was like,                 no, you're crazy.                781 00:35:23,421 --> 00:35:24,522  Why would you say that?         782 00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:25,423   And I said, well, Maddie just   told me you were there          783 00:35:25,523 --> 00:35:27,225 for Thanksgiving                 with her family.                 784 00:35:27,325 --> 00:35:28,826   And he's like, why would you    listen to a little kid?         785 00:35:28,926 --> 00:35:30,495   She's lying.                   786 00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:32,063 - That's when Jen                  grabbed her car keys           787 00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:34,866 and drove off to confront         Jennifer McKay.                 788 00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:36,767  If her husband wouldn't            tell her the truth,           789 00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:38,870    maybe her husband's           girlfriend would.                790 00:35:40,505 --> 00:35:42,140    - He was calling me           non-stop,                        791 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,209  calling me, texting me,         telling me to come back.         792 00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,878  You know, I better not          go to her house.                 793 00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:48,779    I better stay away            from her.                        794 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,581  I knocked on her door,            she answers the door           795 00:35:50,681 --> 00:35:53,384 and I said, you know, was         my daughter here today?         796 00:35:53,484 --> 00:35:57,522  And she said, uh, yeah,           it was Dan's weekend.          797 00:35:57,622 --> 00:36:00,992    And I said,                      I'm sorry, wh-what?           798 00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:03,828   And she said, It was             his custody weekend.           799 00:36:03,928 --> 00:36:06,631  - It took Jenn a moment            to absorb the word,           800 00:36:06,731 --> 00:36:10,368   custody, as in child custody   after a divorce.                 801 00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:13,504 - And I said, um,                I think we need to talk.         802 00:36:13,604 --> 00:36:15,072   We're still married.           803 00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:17,808 And her-her face                 just kind of went blank,         804 00:36:17,909 --> 00:36:21,279  like, um, what?                 805 00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:23,648    And she just said,              come inside.                   806 00:36:23,748 --> 00:36:25,049   - So, sister,                     we gotta talk, huh?           807 00:36:25,149 --> 00:36:26,551  - Yeah.                         808 00:36:26,651 --> 00:36:28,186   - It didn't take long          for the two Jens                 809 00:36:28,286 --> 00:36:30,154 to reach                           the same conclusion.           810 00:36:30,254 --> 00:36:32,557    Dan had been lying            to both of them.                 811 00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:35,393 - She tells me, I thought           that you guys were divorced   812 00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:37,328   and I thought                   you had joint custody.          813 00:36:37,428 --> 00:36:39,463    - Daniel, she said,            even had proof.                 814 00:36:39,564 --> 00:36:41,766    - He had shown her               fake divorce papers           815 00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:43,034 and she pulled them out.         816 00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:45,469  - Fake divorce papers?           - Yeah.                         817 00:36:45,570 --> 00:36:47,738 - During Jennifer McKay's        police interview,                818 00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:50,241    she told detectives           about Daniel's deception.        819 00:36:58,082 --> 00:37:00,618   - He's leading her to believe  he left his wife for her.        820 00:37:00,718 --> 00:37:03,821 They're gonna build, uh,           their own happily ever after.  821 00:37:03,921 --> 00:37:07,491 - The two Jens spoke for         15 head-spinning minutes.        822 00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:10,094   Then Jenn Greene left           Jennifer McKay                  823 00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:11,896 with these parting words.        824 00:37:11,996 --> 00:37:13,764  - It just kind of went,         825 00:37:13,864 --> 00:37:15,800  stay away from                  my husband and my family.        826 00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,369 And I walked out                   of her house                   827 00:37:18,469 --> 00:37:21,272  and came home.                  828 00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:23,241  - As Jen pulled                    into her driveway,            829 00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:24,909   she expected                     to find her husband,           830 00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:28,346  primed with apologies,            waiting for her at the door.   831 00:37:28,446 --> 00:37:29,814  She was wrong.                  832 00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:31,249 - He didn't even                    talk to me.                   833 00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:32,617   He just left.                  834 00:37:32,717 --> 00:37:36,087    - Daniel, she said, headed       straight to Jennifer McKay.   835 00:37:36,187 --> 00:37:38,823 - He wasn't even                  interested in making it         836 00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:40,191   okay with me.                  837 00:37:40,291 --> 00:37:42,827   He was more concerned          with going to her                838 00:37:42,927 --> 00:37:44,395   and making it                   right with her.                 839 00:37:44,495 --> 00:37:45,863    - Extra hurt, huh?            840 00:37:45,963 --> 00:37:47,531   Yeah, I mean, in my--           in that moment,                 841 00:37:47,632 --> 00:37:49,533 my whole world collapsed.        842 00:37:49,634 --> 00:37:53,271    I didn't think that he was     that enamored with her          843 00:37:53,371 --> 00:37:56,173    that he was willing to put     everything on the line          844 00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:59,510 that we had to be                with this woman.                 845 00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:01,646   - It didn't take long             for Jenn to decide            846 00:38:01,746 --> 00:38:03,714    she wasn't budging.           847 00:38:03,814 --> 00:38:06,851  She told her husband that if he wanted to leave the house, fine, 848 00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:08,519   but she was staying.           849 00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:10,254  - It sounds like you've          come to an arrangement.         850 00:38:10,354 --> 00:38:11,355  - My stance was always,         851 00:38:11,455 --> 00:38:12,857    if you're unhappy,             you can leave.                  852 00:38:12,957 --> 00:38:14,625   This is where                     our children live.            853 00:38:14,725 --> 00:38:15,626  This is where--                 854 00:38:15,726 --> 00:38:18,129   you know, if you're unhappy,    you can leave.                  855 00:38:18,229 --> 00:38:19,697 There's the door.                856 00:38:19,797 --> 00:38:21,432 - Dan said he would stay.        857 00:38:21,532 --> 00:38:23,334 Though he left the house          often for days                  858 00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:25,403    to be with Jennifer McKay.    859 00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:28,539    When he was home, he slept      on the couch in the basement.  860 00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,241  So this is his hangout            when he's in the house, huh?   861 00:38:30,341 --> 00:38:31,809   - Yeah, if he's here,          he's downstairs.                 862 00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:33,444   He's never upstairs.           863 00:38:33,544 --> 00:38:35,012   - Soon there would be          no place for Dan                 864 00:38:35,112 --> 00:38:36,914 with Jennifer McKay too.         865 00:38:37,014 --> 00:38:38,816   Frustrated by                    his apparent refusal           866 00:38:38,916 --> 00:38:40,084 to commit to her,                867 00:38:40,184 --> 00:38:43,254    she called it quits            in August 2017,                 868 00:38:43,354 --> 00:38:45,323    three months before             Jon's murder.                  869 00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:47,925    - She was tired of              being second fiddle.           870 00:38:48,025 --> 00:38:50,428 She was tired of                  being the other woman.          871 00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:53,564    So after a while, she said      she couldn't live like that.   872 00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:56,267 So she moved on.                 873 00:38:56,367 --> 00:38:58,469 - Moved on to Jon Hickey.        874 00:38:58,569 --> 00:39:01,372    But detectives learned that     despite the new relationship,  875 00:39:01,472 --> 00:39:03,040  Jennifer McKay                   and Dan Greene                  876 00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:06,110 continued to call                  and text each other.           877 00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:07,411  - Here's what gets me.          878 00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:11,048   She starts talking to Greene    about the new guy in her life,  879 00:39:11,148 --> 00:39:12,183    her new boyfriend.            880 00:39:12,283 --> 00:39:13,184    - She was.                    881 00:39:13,284 --> 00:39:15,052    It was perplexing to hear,    882 00:39:15,152 --> 00:39:17,521    because I could not              understand                    883 00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:19,890 why are you still                   conversating with this guy    884 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:21,025 if you're done with him,         885 00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:22,727  and especially                  telling him about                886 00:39:22,827 --> 00:39:24,462 the new man in your life?        887 00:39:24,562 --> 00:39:26,330 Did you actually                 talk to him about                888 00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:28,265    the relationship with Jon?    889 00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:31,469 - Only that I was                   dating him and seeing him.    890 00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:33,671   - Any reason                      in particular why?            891 00:39:33,771 --> 00:39:36,173   - So hopefully he would have      closure and accept            892 00:39:36,273 --> 00:39:37,908    that I'm moving on              with my life.                  893 00:39:38,008 --> 00:39:39,276  - Okay.                         - I made it clear                894 00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:41,312   because I wanted him              to leave me alone,            895 00:39:41,412 --> 00:39:43,681   which he hasn't done.          896 00:39:43,781 --> 00:39:45,816    - So he-he has not             left you alone.                 897 00:39:45,916 --> 00:39:46,784   - No.                          898 00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:48,886 - But McKay made                 one thing clear.                 899 00:39:48,986 --> 00:39:50,955    Whether Dan let go             of her or not,                  900 00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:52,656 he'd never resort                  to violence,                   901 00:39:52,757 --> 00:39:54,125 let alone murder.                902 00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:56,427 - I mean, I don't-I don't          see him doing                  903 00:39:56,527 --> 00:39:58,929  anything stupid                   in this sense                  904 00:39:59,029 --> 00:40:00,097   because he has kids,           905 00:40:00,197 --> 00:40:01,532 a kid and a stepdaughter.        906 00:40:01,632 --> 00:40:04,935   I don't see him jeopardizing      that relationship.            907 00:40:05,035 --> 00:40:07,037 I don't think he would go        to that extreme.                 908 00:40:08,939 --> 00:40:10,141 - As detectives unraveled        909 00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:12,343  all of the complicated           relationships,                  910 00:40:12,443 --> 00:40:14,345   they got word                    from their crime lab.          911 00:40:15,946 --> 00:40:18,149  It turns out there were           several surveillance cameras   912 00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:20,117    rolling the night Jon died,   913 00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:23,954    and technicians had            downloaded the footage.         914 00:40:24,054 --> 00:40:26,357    It was this camera,              camera number four,           915 00:40:26,457 --> 00:40:27,591   that provided                  the breakthrough                 916 00:40:27,691 --> 00:40:29,293  detectives had                  been hoping for.                 917 00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:32,563  A man emerging                  from the shadows,                918 00:40:32,663 --> 00:40:36,400 pacing the back and forth         behind Jon's apartment.         919 00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:40,337  - Pacing between the T            and the alleyway right there   920 00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:42,706   up-up here, checking windows.  921 00:40:42,807 --> 00:40:45,409   Basically getting up             the courage to-to actually--   922 00:40:45,509 --> 00:40:46,544   - Boy, you know, am I            really gonna do this?          923 00:40:46,644 --> 00:40:48,479    That's what you see            as the thought balloon          924 00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:50,347 in his head, huh?                 - Yes.                          925 00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:52,516    - This surveillance footage   is so remarkable,                926 00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:55,186   I was just blown away          the first time I saw it.         927 00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,721  Remember, as the camera          was recording,                  928 00:40:57,822 --> 00:40:59,924  Jon was inside                   his apartment,                  929 00:41:00,024 --> 00:41:01,959 said to be asleep                  on his couch,                  930 00:41:02,059 --> 00:41:04,195 unaware that his killer,          just feet away,                 931 00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:06,464   was skulking outside.          932 00:41:06,564 --> 00:41:08,032    We know what happened next,   933 00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:09,467   which makes the rest             of the video                   934 00:41:09,567 --> 00:41:11,368   even eerier to watch.          935 00:41:13,037 --> 00:41:15,372 He seems to be trying out        one window after another.        936 00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,074    - He does.                       He goes in between.           937 00:41:17,174 --> 00:41:19,510  He goes-he goes                  in between this window.         938 00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:21,479   He's trying that one.          939 00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:24,014   He tries this window              right here.                   940 00:41:24,114 --> 00:41:26,784    And ultimately he's           successful that he's able        941 00:41:26,884 --> 00:41:29,286  to hoist this window up         942 00:41:29,386 --> 00:41:30,521    and get his body--             - That's where he just          943 00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:31,589  gets himself up                   and pulls himself in.          944 00:41:31,689 --> 00:41:33,424   - He goes completely              inside the window.            945 00:41:33,524 --> 00:41:34,892  Yes, and he disappears.         946 00:41:34,992 --> 00:41:36,494  - And he's about to kill a guy   and you can't stop him.         947 00:41:36,594 --> 00:41:39,263    - Yes, yes.                   948 00:41:39,363 --> 00:41:43,133 So once the-the intruder           makes his way                  949 00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:44,702  inside of this window,          950 00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:47,171   um, there's some time            that passes.                   951 00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:51,075    And you see there's someone    leave out of this door,         952 00:41:52,409 --> 00:41:53,544  who we believe                  is the intruder.                 953 00:41:53,644 --> 00:41:55,312   - You see the figure?           - Yes.                          954 00:41:55,412 --> 00:41:56,914    He comes out of this door.    955 00:41:57,014 --> 00:41:58,649 And what you can                   also make out                  956 00:41:58,749 --> 00:42:00,451   is that in his hand,           957 00:42:00,551 --> 00:42:02,453 it appears to be                    a handgun.                    958 00:42:04,255 --> 00:42:05,256  - Wow.                          959 00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:07,091  How important was that            as evidence for you?           960 00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:08,225 - It was crucial.                961 00:42:08,325 --> 00:42:10,694   It was literally the biggest     piece of the puzzle.           962 00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:12,329 - Those security cameras           had recorded                   963 00:42:12,429 --> 00:42:13,998 the prelude to a murder,         964 00:42:14,098 --> 00:42:15,733 and the killer's getaway.        965 00:42:15,833 --> 00:42:18,002    Now, one of                    those images was about          966 00:42:18,102 --> 00:42:20,704    to point detectives             to a suspect.                  967 00:42:20,804 --> 00:42:23,674  Did you think, how can             a perpetrator be so stupid?   968 00:42:23,774 --> 00:42:26,243   - No, I just thought,             how could we get so lucky?    969 00:42:37,988 --> 00:42:38,022 -                                970 00:42:38,022 --> 00:42:38,055 - Jo                             971 00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:38,088 - Jon                            972 00:42:38,088 --> 00:42:38,122 - Jon Hi

998 00:42:44,461 --> 00:42:46,430 and then leaving                  minutes later.                  999 00:42:46,530 --> 00:42:48,198 A costly mistake.                1000 00:42:48,299 --> 00:42:51,335   At one point, the man's face     comes into full view.          1001 00:42:51,435 --> 00:42:52,970    Here's my close up.           1002 00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:54,705

 And the minute she saw          the video, she felt sure.        1011 00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:14,625    - The first thing I say is,   1012 00:43:14,725 --> 00:43:17,595    Oh, my God,                     that looks like him.           1013 00:43:17,695 --> 00:43:20,197  Oh, my God, that looks             like Daniel Greene.           1014 00:43:20,297 -->

00:43:35,679   from someone                     who really knew Dan.           1021 00:43:35,779 --> 00:43:38,349  And few knew Dan better           than Jennifer McKay.           1022 00:43:42,886 --> 00:43:44,822    - They brought her              to the station again           1023 00:43:44,922 --> 00:43:47,091  and showed her                   the surveillance video          1024 00:43:47,191 --> 00:43:49,326 and some close up photos         of the intruder.                 1025 00:44:07,711 --> 00:44:08,812  - Fair to say,                  the person in your chair         1026 00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:10,714    is having the worst           days of her life?                1027 00:44:10,814 --> 00:44:11,682 - She is.                        1028 00:44:11,782 --> 00:44:12,716   That's what I see too          1029 00:44:12,816 --> 00:44:14,551 when I'm sitting                  across from her                 1030 00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:18,522    and I'm asking her            to sit there and tell me         1031 00:44:18,622 --> 00:44:20,891  if this is, uh,                  Daniel Greene,                  1032 00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:23,260    if this is the man              that you once loved.           1033 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,195   Because we're saying           1034 00:44:25,295 --> 00:44:27,665    that we-we believe             that he killed                  1035 00:44:27,765 --> 00:44:29,500    your new boyfriend,              Jon Hickey.                   1036 00:44:53,290 --> 00:44:55,693  - How close do you get          to a positive ID,                1037 00:44:55,793 --> 00:44:57,861  of those photos                  as being Daniel Greene?         1038 00:44:57,961 --> 00:44:59,596 - When she says,                  "This is Dan,"                  1039 00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:01,098    we're cl--                     We have a positive ID.          1040 00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:02,166    - Your past maybe-shoulda?    1041 00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:04,334   - Yeah, we're-we're--             we're well beyond,            1042 00:45:04,435 --> 00:45:05,869

00:45:11,875 - Dan Greene was arrested         on December 5th, 2017.          1045 00:45:13,977 --> 00:45:16,113   A week after                   Jon was murdered.                1046 00:45:16,213 --> 00:45:19,049   - 35-year-old Daniel Greene,    a married father of two         1047 00:45:19,149 --> 00:45:20,617 with no criminal record,         1048 00:45:20,718 --> 00:45:22,653  faces 11 counts                   against him,                   1049 00:45:22,753 --> 00:45:25,055 including                          first-degree murder.           1050 00:45:25,155 --> 00:45:26,890 - In some of our                    "Dateline" stories,           1051 00:45:26,990 --> 00:45:30,627  the arrest of a suspect         surprises almost no one.         1052 00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:31,962  This was the opposite.          1053 00:45:32,062 --> 00:45:34,231  When the news broke of           Daniel Greene's arrest,         1054 00:45:34,331 --> 00:45:37,935    Jon's firefighter brothers    were completely floored.         1055 00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:40,571    To them, it was unthinkable      that Jon's murderer           1056 00:45:40,671 --> 00:45:42,239    could be one of their own.    1057 00:45:43,373 --> 00:45:45,943  - This isn't a street criminal   coming into grab stuff.         1058 00:45:46,043 --> 00:45:48,979    It's a fellow firefighter.    1059 00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:50,013 It's one of the brothers.        1060 00:45:50,114 --> 00:45:51,181  - Yeah, that's                    the first thought's,           1061 00:45:51,281 --> 00:45:53,650 No, a firefighter                couldn't do such an act.         1062 00:45:53,751 --> 00:45:54,785  That's what I thought.          - Right.                         1063 00:45:54,885 --> 00:45:57,921   - I mean, some of us              could be screw ups, right?    1064 00:45:58,021 --> 00:46:00,758  I mean, but to                   kill somebody,                  1065 00:46:00,858 --> 00:46:02,659 let alone                           another firefighter           1066 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,662  in your family                    or brotherhood, how?           1067 00:46:07,231 --> 00:46:08,732    - Jon's girlfriend,            Jennifer McKay,                 1068 00:46:08,832 --> 00:46:10,734    had attended Jon's funeral,   1069 00:46:10,834 --> 00:46:13,303    but she kept her distance,    consumed by guilt                1070 00:46:13,403 --> 00:46:15,405 that her former boyfriend           might have been responsible   1071 00:46:15,506 --> 00:46:16,907 for Jon's murder.                1072 00:46:17,007 --> 00:46:18,675   But when Kim saw her             in the back,                   1073 00:46:18,776 --> 00:46:21,512    she graciously invited her     to sit with the family.         1074 00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:23,680    - She did not feel             that she wanted                 1075 00:46:23,781 --> 00:46:25,115  to come near me                    because she thought           1076 00:46:25,215 --> 00:46:28,218   I was angry with her           1077 00:46:28,318 --> 00:46:30,521   for all this                     happening to my son.           1078 00:46:30,621 --> 00:46:32,823    - Were you?                    - And I-I as not angry          1079 00:46:32,923 --> 00:46:34,391 with her at all.                 1080 00:46:34,491 --> 00:46:36,727  I said, I'm not                  angry with you.                 1081 00:46:36,827 --> 00:46:39,429  Because you did not put            the gun in the guy's hand.    1082 00:46:39,530 --> 00:46:42,499   You did not tell him              to go shoot my son.           1083 00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:44,601 - Police came to                   the same conclusion.           1084 00:46:44,701 --> 00:46:48,505    Jennifer McKay had nothing    to do with Jon's murder,         1085 00:46:48,605 --> 00:46:50,307   but they believe they           had plenty of evidence          1086 00:46:50,407 --> 00:46:52,075    to put away                     her former boyfriend           1087 00:46:52,176 --> 00:46:53,343  for the crime.                  1088 00:46:53,443 --> 00:46:55,312   First, that back alley video,     they said,                    1089 00:46:55,412 --> 00:46:58,849    showed Dan Greene climbing      into Jon's apartment.          1090 00:46:58,949 --> 00:47:00,484    But also, Dan was arrested    1091 00:47:00,584 --> 00:47:03,086   while driving                    a black pickup truck.          1092 00:47:03,187 --> 00:47:05,455  And detectives believe          it was was the same truck        1093 00:47:05,556 --> 00:47:07,191   they spotted                     on surveillance video          1094 00:47:07,291 --> 00:47:10,294   near Jon's apartment              on the night of the murder.   1095 00:47:10,394 --> 00:47:13,730  - So we found a camera            next block up                  1096 00:47:13,831 --> 00:47:16,166    that shows                      a black pickup truck           1097 00:47:16,266 --> 00:47:19,002   driving, uh, parking,           and the suspect                 1098 00:47:19,102 --> 00:47:22,272    getting out and going down      towards Jon's house.           1099 00:47:22,372 --> 00:47:24,041   And then same                     black pickup truck,           1100 00:47:24,141 --> 00:47:26,343 suspect goes to,                    drives off.                   1101 00:47:26,443 --> 00:47:29,146   And the time,                    it matched up                  1102 00:47:29,246 --> 00:47:33,450  between, uh, showing up           in the alley                   1103 00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:36,186    to, uh, the person               darting out the back door.    1104 00:47:36,286 --> 00:47:38,055    - We couldn't tell               who was driving the vehicle   1105 00:47:38,155 --> 00:47:39,423   based on the footage,          1106 00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:41,425  and we couldn't                 get a tag number,                1107 00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:42,960  but it appears                    to be the same truck           1108 00:47:43,060 --> 00:47:45,395 that he was arrested in.         1109 00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:47,731    - Investigators were using    that surveillance footage        1110 00:47:47,831 --> 00:47:50,334    to build their case            frame by frame.                 1111 00:47:50,434 --> 00:47:53,437  They were also watching            Dan's movements off-camera.   1112 00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:56,640   And they were about to learn     he had some secrets.           1113 00:47:56,740

  On this beat,                     I've seen people go           1171 00:49:37,574 --> 00:49:40,777    to extreme lengths            to pull off a deception,         1172 00:49:40,877 --> 00:49:42,579    but this one took the cake.   1173 00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:46,683   Detectives believe Dan Greene  squatted in the house off and on 1174 00:49:46,783 --> 00:49:49,052   after Jennifer McKay              broke up with him.            1175 00:49:49,152 --> 00:49:50,921 They said it was                   all part of his ruse           1176 00:49:51,021 --> 00:49:53,490 to convince her he'd left        his wife for good                1177 00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:56,093  and to rekindle                    their relationship.           1178 00:49:56,193 --> 00:49:57,160  - What does it                     tell you about him?           1179 00:49:57,260 --> 00:49:58,195    What did you make of that?    1180 00:49:58,295 --> 00:49:59,596   - He's living a double life.   1181 00:49:59,696 --> 00:50:02,366  He's going to-going to          extreme measures                 1182 00:50:02,466 --> 00:50:05,268   to-to live his lies.           1183 00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:07,004 - Dan was willing                to break the law                 1184 00:50:07,104 --> 00:50:08,705  to keep his girlfriend.         1185 00:50:08,805 --> 00:50:09,873 What was he willing to do        1186 00:50:09,973 --> 00:50:12,642  if he was about                    to lose her to Jon Hickey?    1187 00:50:12,743 --> 00:50:15,379  For detectives,                    the answer seemed obvious.    1188 00:50:15,479 --> 00:50:16,613  Murder.                         1189 00:50:16,713 --> 00:50:21,451    - I just want to understand      why you killed Jon Hickey.    1190 00:50:21,551 --> 00:50:24,855    - I didn't kill Jon Hickey,    so that's a moot point.         1191 00:50:24,955 --> 00:50:27,124  - During his police interview,     Dan freely admitted           1192 00:50:27,224 --> 00:50:29,893   that he had an affair            with Jennifer McKay.           1193 00:50:29,993 --> 00:50:32,295    - Tell me about you            and Jen's relationship.         1194 00:50:34,431 --> 00:50:38,001  - Um, it was very good            and very passionate,           1195 00:50:38,101 --> 00:50:41,304  and I couldn't move on          1196 00:50:41,405 --> 00:50:43,373 and fully commit to her.         1197 00:50:43,473 --> 00:50:45,175  - I asked him, did you          know about the boyfriend?        1198 00:50:45,275 --> 00:50:47,244 How did you feel                   about the boyfriend?           1199 00:50:47,344 --> 00:50:48,678   And he says,                   I wish her well.                 1200 00:50:48,779 --> 00:50:50,313 I wanted her to move on.         1201 00:50:50,414 --> 00:50:55,652    Do you believe that            if, um, Jen came back,          1202 00:50:55,752 --> 00:50:58,021 would you take her back?         1203 00:50:58,121 --> 00:51:00,390  At this point in your marriage,   in your life?                  1204 00:51:00,490 --> 00:51:01,992    - Probably not, no.           1205 00:51:02,092 --> 00:51:03,260    - He also told me,            he says,                         1206 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,929   Well, I really wasn't          in love with her.                1207 00:51:06,029 --> 00:51:07,864  Do you still love her?          1208 00:51:10,133 --> 00:51:12,002  - No, I-I really don't.         1209 00:51:12,102 --> 00:51:13,603   - You can't just stop             loving her.                   1210 00:51:13,703 --> 00:51:16,540    It's like saying I stopped       breathing over the weekend.   1211 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,774 That doesn't even                   make sense.                   1212 00:51:17,874 --> 00:51:19,176   - There are different           types of love.                  1213 00:51:19,276 --> 00:51:21,745  This is not a white hot           I will drop my world           1214 00:51:21,845 --> 00:51:23,313 and come running to you.         1215 00:51:23,413 --> 00:51:26,249    But there will be feelings,    and there is a feeling for her  1216 00:51:26,349 --> 00:51:27,851    that will be there.           - Mm-hmm.                        1217 00:51:27,951 --> 00:51:29,953   - And it'll always be there.   - Mm-hmm.                        1218 00:51:30,053 --> 00:51:31,922   - But it's not that,           What do you need?                1219 00:51:32,022 --> 00:51:34,357 I-- Whatever, you want me        to ditch my life,                1220 00:51:34,458 --> 00:51:36,126 ditch my family,                  and I'll come--                 1221 00:51:36,226 --> 00:51:38,095   No, that-that's gone.          1222 00:51:38,195 --> 00:51:40,797 - That, Detective Vaughn            thought, was a lie.           1223 00:51:40,897 --> 00:51:43,300   Jennifer McKay had shown her      post breakup emails           1224 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:44,668 and text messages                1225 00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:47,237    in which Dan seemed              obsessed with her.            1226 00:51:47,337 --> 00:51:50,140  Police theorized it was         unrequited love,                 1227 00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:52,342  and it drove Dan Greene            to shoot Jon Hickey           1228 00:51:52,442 --> 00:51:53,777  while he slept.                 1229 00:51:53,877 --> 00:51:56,413   - You thought nobody saw you.  1230 00:51:56,513 --> 00:51:58,548 - I wasn't there, so they         couldn't have seen me.          1231 00:51:58,648 --> 00:52:00,183    - Okay, all right.            1232 00:52:00,283 --> 00:52:01,685  So you thought                   nobody saw you,                 1233 00:52:01,785 --> 00:52:04,521   when in fact,                     everybody saw you.            1234 00:52:04,621 --> 00:52:07,157    In case you haven't             figured out in 2017.           1235 00:52:07,257 --> 00:52:09,025 - Uh-huh?                          - Guess what?                  1236 00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:11,194   Everybody has video.            - Okay.                         1237 00:52:11,294 --> 00:52:13,029  - Everybody has video.          1238 00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:16,600   And just so you know,          you're on video.                 1239 00:52:16,700 --> 00:52:18,268 - But Dan Greene                  kept insisting                  1240 00:52:18,368 --> 00:52:21,304 that wasn't him climbing           into Jon's apartment,          1241 00:52:21,404 --> 00:52:23,173  and he claimed                     he could prove it.            1242 00:52:23,273 --> 00:52:25,442   - It sounds like you           made your mind up, but--         1243 00:52:25,542 --> 00:52:27,310 - No, the facts have made           their mind up, sir.           1244 00:52:27,410 --> 00:52:29,112    The facts.                      It's called evidence.          1245 00:52:29,212 --> 00:52:31,047 - Well, you have                    pieces of evidence.           1246 00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:33,116  You don't have                   the full evidence, it appears.  1247 00:52:33,216 --> 00:52:35,552  I think you don't have             much to work with,            1248 00:52:35,652 --> 00:52:37,420    and you're throwing              things at the wall            1249 00:52:37,521 --> 00:52:38,755  at this point.                  1250 00:52:38,855 --> 00:52:40,290 - I don't care what you--           I don't care what you got.    1251 00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:42,058  - Yeah, you got                  the wrong guy.                  1252 00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:44,094  I have-I have an alibi.         1253 00:52:44,194 --> 00:52:45,629   It wasn't me.                  1254 00:52:46,930 --> 00:52:48,498  - Dan's alibi.                  1255 00:52:48,598 --> 00:52:51,501   It was so surprising            and unexpected.                 1256 00:52:51,601 --> 00:52:53,537   Police didn't see it coming.   1257 00:52:53,637 --> 00:52:55,205   And when Dan's wife,           Jennifer Greene,                 1258 00:52:55,305 --> 00:52:57,607 walked through the doors          of the police station,          1259 00:52:57,707 --> 00:53:00,777    detectives realized              they had a problem.           1260 00:53:02,045 --> 00:53:05,048    - When your husband cheats       on you as long as mine did,   1261 00:53:05,148 --> 00:53:06,716 you know, when he                  comes to bed at night          1262 00:53:06,816 --> 00:53:08,185   and when he doesn't.           1263 00:53:18,962 --> 00:53:18,995 -                                1264 00:53:18,995 --> 00:53:19,029 - De                             1265 00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:19,062 - Dete                           1266 00:53:19,062 --> 00:53:19,095 - Detect                         1267 00:53:19,095 --> 00:53:19,129 - Detectiv                       1268 00:53:19,129 --> 00:53:19,162 - Detectives                     1269 00:53:19,162 --> 00:53:19,196 - Detectives t                   1270 00:53:19,196 --> 00:53:19,229 - Detectives tol                 1271 00:53:19,229 --> 00:53:19,329 - Detectives told                1272 00:53:19,329 --> 00:53:19,362 - Detectives told                  Da                             1273 00:53:19,362 --> 00:53:19,396 - Detectives told                  Dan                            1274 00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:19,429 - Detectives told                  Dan Gr                         1275 00:53:19,429 --> 00:53:19,462 - Detectives told                  Dan Gree                       1276 00:53:19,462 --> 00:53:19,496 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene                     1277 00:53:19,496 --> 00:53:19,529 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene t                   1278 00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:19,563 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene tha                 1279 00:53:19,563 --> 00:53:19,596 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that                1280 00:53:19,596 --> 00:53:19,629 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that hi             1281 00:53:19,629 --> 00:53:19,663 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his            1282 00:53:19,663 --> 00:53:19,696 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his ob         1283 00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:19,729 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his obse       1284 00:53:19,729 --> 00:53:19,763 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his obsess     1285 00:53:19,763 --> 00:53:19,796 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his obsessio   1286 00:53:19,796 --> 00:53:21,131 - Detectives told                  Dan Greene that his obsession  1287 00:53:21,231 --> 00:53:22,933    with Jennifer McKay           1288 00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:25,535   gave him every reason             to kill Jon Hickey.           1289 00:53:25,635 --> 00:53:27,470 - Someone else is                making her smile.                1290 00:53:27,571 --> 00:53:30,540  Someone else is                    making her-making her day,    1291 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:31,875 and it's not you.                1292 00:53:31,975 --> 00:53:34,144 - In your theory, why is           Daniel Greene's life           1293 00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:37,080  better improved                  by killing Jon Hickey?          1294 00:53:37,180 --> 00:53:41,117    - If he couldn't have Jen,       then no one could.            1295 00:53:41,218 --> 00:53:43,153 - At the police station,           Dan insisted                   1296 00:53:43,253 --> 00:53:45,088    that he didn't have            any lingering feelings          1297 00:53:45,188 --> 00:53:47,023   for his former lover.          1298 00:53:47,123 --> 00:53:49,259 And in fact, about a week           before Jon's death,           1299 00:53:49,359 --> 00:53:51,261   he had a revelation.           1300 00:53:51,361 --> 00:53:53,296    - Watching my wife            struggle through                 1301 00:53:53,396 --> 00:53:55,098   and never giving up.           1302 00:53:55,198 --> 00:53:56,933   And it might not be perfect,   1303 00:53:57,033 --> 00:54:02,038   but it's rare to find            someone that is that devoted.  1304 00:54:02,138 --> 00:54:06,543  And that is probably...         something I need                 1305 00:54:06,643 --> 00:54:08,545   to take into account              a lot more.                   1306 00:54:09,746 --> 00:54:12,349  - So he started making           an effort, showing up,          1307 00:54:12,449 --> 00:54:15,452 trying to be the husband          Jenn wanted him to be.          1308 00:54:15,552 --> 00:54:18,188 The night Jon was killed,         Dan told investigators,         1309 00:54:18,288 --> 00:54:20,690   he was in bed                    with his wife, Jenn.           1310 00:54:20,790 --> 00:54:22,892 - I think Tuesday                 and Wednesday, I was--          1311 00:54:22,993 --> 00:54:26,029   I slept with                    my wife in bed.                 1312 00:54:26,129 --> 00:54:27,597  - At any point did you          leave the house?                 1313 00:54:27,697 --> 00:54:28,999    - No, sir.                    1314 00:54:29,099 --> 00:54:30,467 - Given the state                   of Dan's marriage,            1315 00:54:30,567 --> 00:54:33,937  it was a curious alibi          to say the least.                1316 00:54:34,037 --> 00:54:36,406 But at the time,                    it made total sense           1317 00:54:36,506 --> 00:54:39,276 to Dan's parents,                 Beth and Randy Greene,          1318 00:54:39,376 --> 00:54:41,678 who were squarely                  on their son's side.           1319 00:54:41,778 --> 00:54:43,613    - It takes a while               for it to sink in,            1320 00:54:43,713 --> 00:54:46,483  and even then,                  you don't get it.                1321 00:54:46,583 --> 00:54:49,586   - Beth and Randy were          horrified at his arrest.         1322 00:54:49,686 --> 00:54:53,023 Their Daniel behind bars          and accused of murder?          1323 00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:55,091 It was incomprehensible.         1324 00:54:55,191 --> 00:54:58,328 - If you were in a fire,            he'd be the very first guy    1325 00:54:58,428 --> 00:55:01,831    in the house trying to get      you out of the house.          1326 00:55:01,931 --> 00:55:04,467  But that's the kind of            person he is.                  1327 00:55:04,567 --> 00:55:07,103   When a man gets shot            in the head like that,          1328 00:55:07,203 --> 00:55:08,605 that shows a lot of hate.        1329 00:55:08,705 --> 00:55:10,106   That's a lot                      of anger built up.            1330 00:55:10,206 --> 00:55:11,608    - Execution style.              - Why-- yeah.                  1331 00:55:11,708 --> 00:55:13,910    Why are you-- why would you   go into somebody's house         1332 00:55:14,010 --> 00:55:14,878   and do that?                   1333 00:55:14,978 --> 00:55:16,913   Our son would never do that.   1334 00:55:17,013 --> 00:55:18,915    - Back then, Beth and Randy    were determined                 1335 00:55:19,015 --> 00:55:20,884 to prove                          their son's innocence.          1336 00:55:20,984 --> 00:55:23,086   So they began                     methodically picking apart    1337 00:55:23,186 --> 00:55:24,387   the case against him,          1338 00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:26,623 starting with that video          from the alley.                 1339 00:55:26,723 --> 00:55:28,925 - There's a guy walking,         1340 00:55:29,025 --> 00:55:32,462    and we said, Daniel            doesn't walk like that.         1341 00:55:32,562 --> 00:55:35,865   The guy looks bigger,           he looks wider.                 1342 00:55:35,965 --> 00:55:38,034 The clothing's different.        1343 00:55:38,134 --> 00:55:39,202    - We knew it wasn't Daniel,   1344 00:55:39,302 --> 00:55:40,770 but we wanted to be able           to prove that                  1345 00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:42,605    beyond a shadow of a doubt.   1346 00:55:42,706 --> 00:55:45,075  - Toward the end of the video,  they thought they'd found        1347 00:55:45,175 --> 00:55:46,710    what they were looking for.   1348 00:55:46,810 --> 00:55:49,012    A moment, where for            a split second,                 1349 00:55:49,112 --> 00:55:52,349   the intruder turned his face      to the surveillance camera.   1350 00:55:52,449 --> 00:55:54,484  Why is this not                  a picture of your son?          1351 00:55:54,584 --> 00:55:58,955   - Uh, there's a break          right at the nose                1352 00:55:59,055 --> 00:56:00,290  right up here.                  1353 00:56:00,390 --> 00:56:02,392    Initial-- right at             the bridge of the nose.         1354 00:56:02,492 --> 00:56:04,361  There's another                    break right there.            1355 00:56:04,461 --> 00:56:08,264    So this man's had his nose       broken at least two times,    1356 00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:09,532  in my opinion.                  1357 00:56:09,632 --> 00:56:11,501 - Most likely something's         going on with the nose.         1358 00:56:11,601 --> 00:56:14,471  - Yeah there's-there's           a bald spot on the chin         1359 00:56:14,571 --> 00:56:15,739   right there.                   1360 00:56:15,839 --> 00:56:17,807 Daniel has a full beard.         1361 00:56:17,907 --> 00:56:21,711 There's also a bald spot           on the mustache right there.   1362 00:56:21,811 --> 00:56:24,514  There is some bruising           on the side of the face         1363 00:56:24,614 --> 00:56:26,516    that's right through there.   1364 00:56:26,616 --> 00:56:28,351   It's not him.                  1365 00:56:28,451 --> 00:56:29,786    - Randy Greene had             a forensic lab                  1366 00:56:29,886 --> 00:56:32,389 enhance the photo                   and then sent it to police    1367 00:56:32,489 --> 00:56:35,225 and the state attorney's office,   hoping they would reconsider   1368 00:56:35,325 --> 00:56:37,026    their case against Daniel.    1369 00:56:37,127 --> 00:56:38,828 - They never did.                - They never did.                1370 00:56:38,928 --> 00:56:41,531   - It's a situation where they  zeroed in on one person.         1371 00:56:41,631 --> 00:56:43,233    They said, this is              who it's going to be.          1372 00:56:43,333 --> 00:56:45,135 Now, let's-let's come up           with a story                   1373 00:56:45,235 --> 00:56:47,070 that fits                         that narrative.                 1374 00:56:47,170 --> 00:56:49,239 - Tom Maronik Jr.                   is a defense lawyer           1375 00:56:49,339 --> 00:56:51,975 who worked on Dan's case           and took a close look          1376 00:56:52,075 --> 00:56:53,410  at the evidence                   against him.                   1377 00:56:53,510 --> 00:56:54,611   Tom, I think                   I hear you saying                1378 00:56:54,711 --> 00:56:56,179    that this is a rush             to judgment.                   1379 00:56:56,279 --> 00:56:57,380 - That's exactly                    what it is, Dennis.           1380 00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,748 It's a rush to judgment.         1381 00:56:58,848 --> 00:57:00,850   - And there are no forensics,     which juries love,            1382 00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,353 to button it up and make          the decision for them.          1383 00:57:03,453 --> 00:57:05,655  - Forensics can                 rule someone out.                1384 00:57:05,755 --> 00:57:08,391  Forensics can indicate          a high likelihood                1385 00:57:08,491 --> 00:57:10,994   that it's the person           they're accusing.                1386 00:57:11,094 --> 00:57:13,263    But they didn't do            any of that here.                1387 00:57:13,363 --> 00:57:15,398    That's right, said               Dan's trial lawyer,           1388 00:57:15,498 --> 00:57:18,701 Warren Brown, who charged          the investigation was a mess   1389 00:57:18,802 --> 00:57:20,170 from the get go.                 1390 00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:22,405    He pointed to a palm print     on a windowsill                 1391 00:57:22,505 --> 00:57:25,942  in the back alley that he says   police never analyzed.          1392 00:57:26,042 --> 00:57:28,778    - They didn't check to see     the size of it,                 1393 00:57:28,878 --> 00:57:30,547  whether it was                  his size.                        1394 00:57:30,647 --> 00:57:32,649   - What about the man             whose passport police          1395 00:57:32,749 --> 00:57:34,517   found inside                   Jon's apartment?                 1396 00:57:34,617 --> 00:57:36,386  Yes, detectives                 tracked him down                 1397 00:57:36,486 --> 00:57:37,754   and interviewed him,           1398 00:57:37,854 --> 00:57:41,090    but Brown said they didn't     scrutinize him enough.          1399 00:57:41,191 --> 00:57:42,892   - He told them he had            been in an accident.           1400 00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:45,428    He didn't have much             of a memory about back then.   1401 00:57:45,528 --> 00:57:47,330 And he's not sure                  how his-his--                  1402 00:57:47,430 --> 00:57:50,800   his passport ended up           in the deceased's home.         1403 00:57:50,900 --> 00:57:51,801 They said, "Okay.                1404 00:57:51,901 --> 00:57:53,870    "All right,                   have a good day.                 1405 00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:55,472  "We just had to                  check you off."                 1406 00:57:55,572 --> 00:57:56,706 But that was it.                  I mean, they--                  1407 00:57:56,806 --> 00:57:59,275    they took his word for it.    1408 00:57:59,375 --> 00:58:01,211 - Then there's the issue         of the black pickup truck        1409 00:58:01,311 --> 00:58:03,847 police believe Dan drove            to Jon's apartment            1410 00:58:03,947 --> 00:58:05,582   on the night                    of the murder.                  1411 00:58:05,682 --> 00:58:07,851  Dan didn't own                    a black pickup truck,          1412 00:58:07,951 --> 00:58:11,521   but he sometimes borrowed one  from his neighbor Jim Rohrbaugh. 1413 00:58:11,621 --> 00:58:15,492   - Back in 2017, I had            a black Ford Ranger, and it--  1414 00:58:15,592 --> 00:58:16,860  I always parked                 at the same place                1415 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,661   I park my truck now,           1416 00:58:18,761 --> 00:58:22,465   the red Ram,                   down at the garage there.        1417 00:58:22,565 --> 00:58:24,367   - Rohrbaugh said that police     never questioned him           1418 00:58:24,467 --> 00:58:25,635 about the truck.                 1419 00:58:25,735 --> 00:58:28,271  And if they had, he would have     told them there was no way    1420 00:58:28,371 --> 00:58:30,473    Dan took the truck               the night Jon died.           1421 00:58:30,573 --> 00:58:32,709   - And this is                   where we, uh--                  1422 00:58:32,809 --> 00:58:36,145   This is where I hang our keys  for our vehicles.                1423 00:58:36,246 --> 00:58:38,314 If Dan would have                   came in that night.           1424 00:58:38,414 --> 00:58:40,984  We have a Jack Russell terrier     here in the house,            1425 00:58:41,084 --> 00:58:43,720  and he's our watchdog,            and he barks.                  1426 00:58:43,820 --> 00:58:47,257  He goes crazy whenever             anybody comes in the house.   1427 00:58:47,357 --> 00:58:49,025  And we didn't hear peep          out of him that night,          1428 00:58:49,125 --> 00:58:52,662  so I'm-I'm sure Daniel           didn't come in to get the keys. 1429 00:58:52,762 --> 00:58:55,565 - And as to Dan's alleged motive    for shooting Jon...           1430 00:58:55,665 --> 00:58:59,102    - The boyfriend is jealous      and kills, you know,           1431 00:58:59,202 --> 00:59:01,137    his girlfriend's new beau.    1432 00:59:01,237 --> 00:59:03,673   - But Brown said that during     her affair with Dan,           1433 00:59:03,773 --> 00:59:05,675    Jennifer McKay had              several relationships          1434 00:59:05,775 --> 00:59:07,844  with other men                    that Dan knew about.           1435 00:59:07,944 --> 00:59:12,415   - So why is this now becoming    motive to kill this--          1436 00:59:12,515 --> 00:59:14,250 All they gotta do                is out-wait him.                 1437 00:59:14,350 --> 00:59:15,919 They ain't gotta                   go kill him.                   1438 00:59:16,019 --> 00:59:17,587   - Murder, said Brown,             was the last thing            1439 00:59:17,687 --> 00:59:20,056  on Daniel Greene's mind            as he headed to bed           1440 00:59:20,156 --> 00:59:21,558   that November night.           1441 00:59:21,658 --> 00:59:23,860    The night he said he spent      with his wife, Jenn.           1442 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,431    - Well, I think that I was      at home with my wife,          1443 00:59:28,531 --> 00:59:30,333   who will account that            I was home with her.           1444 00:59:30,433 --> 00:59:31,134  - Okay.                         1445 00:59:31,234 --> 00:59:32,335   - Would she?                   1446 00:59:32,435 --> 00:59:34,470   After four years of enduring    her husband's cheating,         1447 00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:36,072    betrayal, and lies,           1448 00:59:36,172 --> 00:59:38,207  What would Jenn Greene            have to say?                   1449 00:59:38,308 --> 00:59:39,776    - If you could, just start       from the beginning            1450 00:59:39,876 --> 00:59:43,980   and tell me what you remember   about that night in particular. 1451 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,749 - Um, I got home                    at 11:00. Came in.            1452 00:59:46,849 --> 00:59:50,386    Dan was downstairs            on the couch watching TV.        1453 00:59:50,486 --> 00:59:54,791   And I went upstairs,             checked on the kids.           1454 00:59:54,891 --> 00:59:56,125  Both kids were asleep.          1455 00:59:56,225 --> 00:59:58,628  And got ready for bed.          1456 00:59:58,728 --> 01:00:03,132    And maybe, like, midnight,       Dan came upstairs,            1457 01:00:03,232 --> 01:00:04,934    got in bed.                   1458 01:00:05,034 --> 01:00:07,837  - There it was,                  clear and unequivocal,          1459 01:00:07,937 --> 01:00:09,572   Dan's alibi.                   1460 01:00:09,672 --> 01:00:11,841    - That night in particular,   1461 01:00:11,941 --> 01:00:14,510   why is that so vivid to you?      That night.                   1462 01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:16,079 How do you remember that?        1463 01:00:16,179 --> 01:00:19,916    - When your husband cheats       on you as long as mine did,   1464 01:00:20,016 --> 01:00:21,451   you know when                  he comes to bed at night         1465 01:00:21,551 --> 01:00:22,885   and when he doesn't.            - Okay.                         1466 01:00:22,986 --> 01:00:25,622   - And I know he came upstairs   and got in bed with me          1467 01:00:25,722 --> 01:00:26,689    that night.                   1468 01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:28,191  And like, those things            might be seem mundane          1469 01:00:28,291 --> 01:00:29,525    and (BLEEP)                     to you guys,                   1470 01:00:29,626 --> 01:00:33,262  but those moments were            mattering to me in a big way.  1471 01:00:33,363 --> 01:00:36,599  - She knew, um, that we          knew about Jenn McKay.          1472 01:00:36,699 --> 01:00:39,836   And we-- me, myself,            personally mentioned it         1473 01:00:39,936 --> 01:00:41,237  multiple times                     just to remind her            1474 01:00:41,337 --> 01:00:43,539   that she was possibly            covering for somebody          1475 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,241 that was treating                  her family like that.          1476 01:00:45,341 --> 01:00:46,576 - I mean, what do                   you want me to say?           1477 01:00:46,676 --> 01:00:48,111    - Nothing.                    Like, absolutely nothing.        1478 01:00:48,211 --> 01:00:52,181 - There's no secret here           that my husband is (BLEEP) up  1479 01:00:52,281 --> 01:00:54,183  when it comes to being           a good husband.                 1480 01:00:54,283 --> 01:00:56,452  Like that-- you're not           really throwing anything at me  1481 01:00:56,552 --> 01:00:58,121   that I don't                     already know.                  1482 01:00:58,221 --> 01:01:00,323  - So she stood                     by her man.                   1483 01:01:00,423 --> 01:01:01,324  - Yes, she did.                 1484 01:01:01,424 --> 01:01:04,260   - I think my husband              screwed up,                   1485 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,429  but I think my husband           loves his wife and kids         1486 01:01:06,529 --> 01:01:10,433    and didn't really know how    to fix the mess he made.         1487 01:01:10,533 --> 01:01:12,535    - The detectives held back       their most important piece    1488 01:01:12,635 --> 01:01:15,038 of evidence until                the end of the interview.        1489 01:01:15,138 --> 01:01:17,573   That's when, without warning,     Detective O'Connor            1490 01:01:17,674 --> 01:01:19,509 laid them                        in front of Jenn.                1491 01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:24,514    The photos of the intruder      from the surveillance video.   1492 01:01:24,614 --> 01:01:27,950   - If you just                    get a moment,                  1493 01:01:28,051 --> 01:01:29,352 just take a look.                1494 01:01:29,452 --> 01:01:31,154 She glances down at 'em.         1495 01:01:35,758 --> 01:01:37,794 And looks back up at us.         - No sighs, no swallows?         1496 01:01:37,894 --> 01:01:38,628 Nothing?                           - No.                          1497 01:01:38,728 --> 01:01:40,196  - And she left.                 1498 01:01:40,296 --> 01:01:43,299   - Okay, thank you very much.     - Okay. Yeah.                  1499 01:01:43,399 --> 01:01:45,868  - Jenn Greene, who had          every reason to hate Dan,        1500 01:01:45,968 --> 01:01:47,170  still vouched for him.          1501 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:50,940 And that detectives knew            wasn't good for their case.   1502 01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,009    - You thought you had this      all rolled up in a gift box.   1503 01:01:53,109 --> 01:01:54,644    - Well, I never think that.   1504 01:01:54,744 --> 01:01:56,512 But I thought we                 had a good case.                 1505 01:01:56,612 --> 01:01:58,681 I call it a bump                   in the road.                   1506 01:01:58,781 --> 01:02:00,316  - But this bump                    in the road                   1507 01:02:00,416 --> 01:02:02,819 was about to turn                into a sinkhole,                 1508 01:02:02,919 --> 01:02:05,455 because attorney                 Warren Brown's next move         1509 01:02:05,555 --> 01:02:08,224  would deal a potential           death blow to the investigation 1510 01:02:08,324 --> 01:02:10,626   and possibly                     set Dan free.                  1511 01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:12,829   There went your case.          1512 01:02:12,929 --> 01:02:14,330   - It went out                   the door quick.                 1513 01:02:18,868 --> 01:02:18,935    ♪                             1514 01:02:18,935 --> 01:02:25,608    ♪♪                            1515 01:02:25,708 --> 01:02:27,577  - Summer, 2018.                 1516 01:02:27,677 --> 01:02:30,246    The trial of Daniel Greene     was set to go.                  1517 01:02:30,346 --> 01:02:33,182   It was shaping up as            the story of two Jenns.         1518 01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:35,551    The wife providing               an emphatic alibi.            1519 01:02:35,651 --> 01:02:38,254   - Dan came upstairs,              got in bed.                   1520 01:02:38,354 --> 01:02:43,326   And maybe lights out,             10, 15 minutes after that.    1521 01:02:43,426 --> 01:02:46,095  - And the ex girlfriend          identifying the accused         1522 01:02:46,195 --> 01:02:48,164  in that chilling video.         1523 01:02:51,534 --> 01:02:54,270 Without direct evidence,            Jennifer McKay's ID           1524 01:02:54,370 --> 01:02:56,939 was make or break                  for the prosecution.           1525 01:02:57,039 --> 01:02:58,374  No jury was ever going             to hear about DNA,            1526 01:02:58,474 --> 01:02:59,776   or bloody footprint,            or anything like that.          1527 01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:02,011  - It was about                  the video of Dan Greene.         1528 01:03:03,012 --> 01:03:05,481 - The defendant's parents           thought Jennifer McKay's ID   1529 01:03:05,581 --> 01:03:07,583   of their son from the           security camera footage         1530 01:03:07,683 --> 01:03:09,385  was a travesty.                 1531 01:03:09,485 --> 01:03:11,454  No way was that                   their Daniel.                  1532 01:03:11,554 --> 01:03:13,156 And during her interview           with police,                   1533 01:03:13,256 --> 01:03:15,525   McKay seemed to have            her own doubts.                 1534 01:03:37,113 --> 01:03:39,816  Daniel Greene's                  defense attorney, Warren Brown. 1535 01:03:39,916 --> 01:03:44,153   - It was a torturous process      to get her to finally say,    1536 01:03:44,253 --> 01:03:45,888    "Yeah, that's-that's him."    1537 01:03:45,988 --> 01:03:47,156   You didn't have to be             a lawyer to see it.           1538 01:03:47,256 --> 01:03:48,891    The Q and A                      of Jennifer McKay,            1539 01:03:48,991 --> 01:03:52,929  which is the, uh, uh--          this positive ID,                1540 01:03:53,029 --> 01:03:55,832 and it's just laughable.         1541 01:04:20,556 --> 01:04:22,658    - Defense attorney            Tom Maronick Jr.                 1542 01:04:22,758 --> 01:04:24,460    - She's worn down.            1543 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,229    That's essentially              what it was.                   1544 01:04:26,329 --> 01:04:28,030    They just beat her            down long enough                 1545 01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:30,766 until she decided                   to identify Daniel Greene.    1546 01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:32,835   - So there was bias. They put   the thumb on the scale.         1547 01:04:32,935 --> 01:04:33,970 - Bingo.                         1548 01:04:34,070 --> 01:04:38,007  - It was so bad that it            caused us to give a shot--    1549 01:04:38,107 --> 01:04:40,943 give it a shot at                  having it thrown out.          1550 01:04:42,678 --> 01:04:45,314   - The defense filed a motion    to keep McKay's identification  1551 01:04:45,414 --> 01:04:47,884 of Daniel Greene                 out of the trial,                1552 01:04:47,984 --> 01:04:50,086  arguing a jury                   should never hear an ID         1553 01:04:50,186 --> 01:04:52,154 that was coerced.                1554 01:04:52,255 --> 01:04:54,824   The identification of          Jenn McKay is the big rap        1555 01:04:54,924 --> 01:04:55,992    against your case,            1556 01:04:56,092 --> 01:04:59,161    that you guys were putting    your thumb on the scale.         1557 01:04:59,262 --> 01:05:01,063   You were influencing             her decision.                  1558 01:05:01,163 --> 01:05:02,331    - I wouldn't change             a thing that we did.           1559 01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:04,300  - I know we did not put          our thumb on the scale.         1560 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,836 I know we                         didn't do that.                 1561 01:05:06,936 --> 01:05:09,538    - But in a stunning ruling,   the judge decided police         1562 01:05:09,639 --> 01:05:11,774 did use improper                    suggestive methods            1563 01:05:11,874 --> 01:05:14,310  to get Jennifer McKay's          identification.                 1564 01:05:14,410 --> 01:05:16,712 And it should not                 be heard at the trial.          1565 01:05:16,812 --> 01:05:19,248   That gutted the case             against Daniel Greene          1566 01:05:19,348 --> 01:05:20,983  in the blink of an eye.         1567 01:05:21,083 --> 01:05:22,685   Boy, there's                    a bad day for you, huh?         1568 01:05:22,785 --> 01:05:24,754 - It was.                           It was a tough day.           1569 01:05:24,854 --> 01:05:25,755  - There went your case.         1570 01:05:25,855 --> 01:05:27,757   - It went out                   the door quick.                 1571 01:05:27,857 --> 01:05:29,558 - If this doesn't                get before a jury, look,         1572 01:05:29,659 --> 01:05:30,459  you don't have a case,           do you?                         1573 01:05:30,559 --> 01:05:31,494   - That's it.                    And I was like, that--          1574 01:05:31,594 --> 01:05:34,063    That's what                     worried me the most.           1575 01:05:34,163 --> 01:05:35,398  Because he was                  going to get out,                1576 01:05:35,498 --> 01:05:38,134   and then he was going            to disappear on 'em.           1577 01:05:39,101 --> 01:05:41,237  - Prosecutors appealed,         and Daniel Greene                1578 01:05:41,337 --> 01:05:43,806  was held in jail while             the issue worked its way up   1579 01:05:43,906 --> 01:05:46,008  to the Maryland Supreme Court.  1580 01:05:47,209 --> 01:05:48,678   And there was                     another big ruling            1581 01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:50,546 about potential evidence.        1582 01:05:50,646 --> 01:05:52,615    Remember how investigators     learned the brake line          1583 01:05:52,715 --> 01:05:54,951    on Jon Hickey's car             had been cut?                  1584 01:05:55,051 --> 01:05:56,886 - They later got                    cell phone records            1585 01:05:56,986 --> 01:05:59,322   linking Daniel Greene          to that.                         1586 01:05:59,422 --> 01:06:03,592 - That cell phone told us          that during the time           1587 01:06:03,693 --> 01:06:06,162 that those brakes                   were tampered with,           1588 01:06:06,262 --> 01:06:09,498 that Daniel Greene was in         the area of Jenn McKay's home,  1589 01:06:09,598 --> 01:06:12,535    where Jon Hickey's vehicle     was parked at the time.         1590 01:06:12,635 --> 01:06:14,804    - But the trial judge said      that wasn't relevant           1591 01:06:14,904 --> 01:06:15,838  to the murder,                  1592 01:06:15,938 --> 01:06:17,707   and threw out                   the cell phone records.         1593 01:06:17,807 --> 01:06:21,344  Another blow to                 the state's case.                1594 01:06:21,444 --> 01:06:24,146  All the wrangling over evidence  delayed the trial date.         1595 01:06:24,246 --> 01:06:25,314    And when COVID hit,           1596 01:06:25,414 --> 01:06:28,351   the wheels of justice          ground to a halt.                1597 01:06:28,451 --> 01:06:31,454   The delays went from           months to years.                 1598 01:06:33,789 --> 01:06:36,292   They were tough times           for the Hickeys                 1599 01:06:36,392 --> 01:06:40,629 and for the detective who formed a special bond with them.        1600 01:06:40,730 --> 01:06:43,399   - Let me tell you something.   1601 01:06:43,499 --> 01:06:48,604 I've been in Ms. Hickey's           situation.                    1602 01:06:48,704 --> 01:06:50,473    I've had that knock              on my door.                   1603 01:06:50,573 --> 01:06:53,809   - Detective, what was           the knock on your door?         1604 01:06:53,909 --> 01:06:56,045  - 1995.                         1605 01:06:56,145 --> 01:06:57,713 I'm getting ready to cry.        1606 01:06:57,813 --> 01:07:00,116  Let me                          get it together.                 1607 01:07:00,216 --> 01:07:03,352 - The knock on Val's door        changed her life forever.        1608 01:07:03,452 --> 01:07:04,754   It came from                   a police officer                 1609 01:07:04,854 --> 01:07:07,523 after her own grandfather           was killed.                   1610 01:07:07,623 --> 01:07:10,559    An innocent, random victim    of gun violence.                 1611 01:07:10,659 --> 01:07:13,629    - I remember the compassion     and the care                   1612 01:07:13,729 --> 01:07:16,632    that those members gave me      and my family                  1613 01:07:16,732 --> 01:07:20,736   when they were investigating    my grandfather's death.         1614 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:25,474   So when I'm fighting,           I'm not just fighting for Jon.  1615 01:07:25,574 --> 01:07:26,709 I'm fighting for his mom.        1616 01:07:26,809 --> 01:07:30,079    I'm fighting for his uncle,      and he bears his namesake.    1617 01:07:30,179 --> 01:07:32,581    Like, those are the people    I'm fighting for.                1618 01:07:32,681 --> 01:07:34,316 Everyone that loved him.         1619 01:07:34,417 --> 01:07:38,287  - And there, in a single story,    you have who Val Vaughn is.   1620 01:07:38,387 --> 01:07:41,791  Remarkable cop,                    remarkable person.            1621 01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:44,827  Jon Hickey's murder was           the final case of her career   1622 01:07:44,927 --> 01:07:46,796    as a homicide investigator.   1623 01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:49,098  And she was determined          to see justice delivered         1624 01:07:49,198 --> 01:07:51,200  for Jon and his family.         1625 01:07:51,300 --> 01:07:54,170 Was that helpful for you            to see her steel her spine    1626 01:07:54,270 --> 01:07:55,237  in all of this?                 1627 01:07:55,337 --> 01:07:59,208  - Without her,                   I would have been lost.         1628 01:07:59,308 --> 01:08:02,978   I wouldn't have known          what else to do.                 1629 01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:06,048   - In September 2021,            four long years                 1630 01:08:06,148 --> 01:08:09,919    after Jon Hickey's murder,     Val Vaughn got a call.          1631 01:08:10,019 --> 01:08:12,321  There was news.                 Big news.                        1632 01:08:12,421 --> 01:08:15,257    - It was just like               Christmas that day.           1633 01:08:15,357 --> 01:08:17,660   It was literally like            everything lined up,           1634 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,329 like, oh, my God.                1635 01:08:20,429 --> 01:08:21,697 This is the break                   we needed.                    1636 01:08:21,797 --> 01:08:24,400   This is just                    what we needed.                 1637 01:08:28,771 --> 01:08:28,838    ♪                             1638 01:08:28,838 --> 01:08:34,944    ♪♪                            1639 01:08:35,044 --> 01:08:37,580  - When Jennifer McKay's          identification of Daniel Greene 1640 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,783  on the security camera footage     was thrown out by a judge,    1641 01:08:40,883 --> 01:08:43,419   the whole case seemed           to hang in the balance until..  1642 01:08:43,519 --> 01:08:48,824    - Jenn Greene says,             "I need to talk to you all."   1643 01:08:50,059 --> 01:08:52,962 - The other Jenn,                 Daniel Greene's wife and alibi, 1644 01:08:53,062 --> 01:08:55,865   wanted a meeting with             prosecutors and detectives.   1645 01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:58,033 What was this all about?         1646 01:08:58,134 --> 01:09:00,402    - She comes forward             and we meet.                   1647 01:09:00,503 --> 01:09:02,972    Prosecutor, myself,             and other detectives           1648 01:09:03,072 --> 01:09:04,440  meet with Jenn Greene.          1649 01:09:04,540 --> 01:09:08,410   And she says,                    "A lot has changed."           1650 01:09:10,779 --> 01:09:13,382  - The changes for Jenn          had been seismic.                1651 01:09:13,482 --> 01:09:16,018 Her husband's infidelity           had been devastating.          1652 01:09:16,118 --> 01:09:17,620  And when he was                   charged with murder,           1653 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,022 it was more than                  she could bear.                 1654 01:09:20,122 --> 01:09:23,092 - I don't live in a world        where people say                 1655 01:09:23,192 --> 01:09:25,127 someone's being arrested         for first degree murder.         1656 01:09:25,227 --> 01:09:27,396 It was just unfathomable.        1657 01:09:29,265 --> 01:09:31,834  - Unfathomable,                    and also impossible           1658 01:09:31,934 --> 01:09:34,003    because she claimed              Daniel was in bed with her    1659 01:09:34,103 --> 01:09:36,539   on the night                    of the murder.                  1660 01:09:36,639 --> 01:09:39,441  But according to Jenn,          that critical alibi came         1661 01:09:39,542 --> 01:09:42,878   only after she was pressured   by Daniel and his family,        1662 01:09:42,978 --> 01:09:46,549   especially her father in law,    Randy, who told her.           1663 01:09:46,649 --> 01:09:48,751 - You know, Daniel said,          you guys were in bed together,  1664 01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:50,786    and he was home that night,    and, you know,                  1665 01:09:50,886 --> 01:09:51,954 you're his alibi.                1666 01:09:52,054 --> 01:09:55,658  And it's just constant          from his family,                 1667 01:09:55,758 --> 01:09:57,793 just unrelenting.                1668 01:09:57,893 --> 01:10:00,396  - Jen's first statement            to police was unequivocal.    1669 01:10:00,496 --> 01:10:03,966 - Like midnight,                    Dan came upstairs,            1670 01:10:04,066 --> 01:10:05,167    got in bed.                   1671 01:10:05,267 --> 01:10:06,936   - But when detectives           showed her three photos         1672 01:10:07,036 --> 01:10:10,039 from the security camera,           she froze.                    1673 01:10:10,139 --> 01:10:14,043  - The minute I saw him in this,  like, very distinct way         1674 01:10:14,143 --> 01:10:15,844    that Daniel stood,             I just knew it was him.         1675 01:10:15,945 --> 01:10:19,248    And I just stopped.           1676 01:10:19,348 --> 01:10:22,918 Everything inside of me,          just my heart stopped.          1677 01:10:23,018 --> 01:10:25,621 Everything just stopped.         1678 01:10:25,721 --> 01:10:26,555   - But at that moment,          1679 01:10:26,655 --> 01:10:28,958   Jen did not identify             her husband,                   1680 01:10:29,058 --> 01:10:31,794    and detectives say               her face revealed nothing.    1681 01:10:31,894 --> 01:10:33,095  She was stoic.                  1682 01:10:33,195 --> 01:10:35,231  Jenn's thoughts                    were anything but.            1683 01:10:35,331 --> 01:10:38,334 - It was just very scary         and very surreal, and I--        1684 01:10:38,434 --> 01:10:42,137  Honestly, I don't know           how I kept it together.         1685 01:10:42,238 --> 01:10:45,274  I actually had a friend            drive me downtown,            1686 01:10:45,374 --> 01:10:48,010   and once we got away              from this building,           1687 01:10:48,110 --> 01:10:51,714   closer to the parking garage,    I just collapsed in her arms.  1688 01:10:53,382 --> 01:10:55,084 - It was                          an overwhelming moment.         1689 01:10:55,184 --> 01:10:57,353    But Jenn was still            prepared to take an oath         1690 01:10:57,453 --> 01:10:59,421    and be her husband's alibi.   1691 01:10:59,521 --> 01:11:02,691   - I wanted to wholly believe    that he wasn't capable          1692 01:11:02,791 --> 01:11:04,093    of doing something               like this,                    1693 01:11:04,193 --> 01:11:06,362  that my children weren't going    to have this cloud over them   1694 01:11:06,462 --> 01:11:08,130    for the rest of their life,     that their stepfather          1695 01:11:08,230 --> 01:11:10,766 and their father                 murdered someone.                1696 01:11:10,866 --> 01:11:12,601   - But when the trial            was postponed,                  1697 01:11:12,701 --> 01:11:14,303   she had a lot of time          to think.                        1698 01:11:14,403 --> 01:11:17,640 And as the months passed,          she started to waver.          1699 01:11:17,740 --> 01:11:21,076   - And I'm just in this whirl      of back and forth,            1700 01:11:21,176 --> 01:11:23,846   of, you know,                   was he in bed?                  1701 01:11:23,946 --> 01:11:26,348    Is that really him?           1702 01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:28,817    - Over the next few years,     Jenn dedicated herself          1703 01:11:28,917 --> 01:11:30,986   to changing her life.          1704 01:11:31,086 --> 01:11:33,622    She started working              full time as a travel agent   1705 01:11:33,722 --> 01:11:37,026  and was able to support          her family on her own.          1706 01:11:37,126 --> 01:11:38,961   She says she                      became a new woman,           1707 01:11:39,061 --> 01:11:41,130    confident and independent.    1708 01:11:41,230 --> 01:11:43,265  - I removed myself from having  a relationship with Dan.         1709 01:11:43,365 --> 01:11:44,767   I removed myself from            having a relationship          1710 01:11:44,867 --> 01:11:45,934 with his family.                 1711 01:11:46,035 --> 01:11:48,203  I was no longer getting            calls from jail, from him,    1712 01:11:48,304 --> 01:11:50,172 reminding me that                 he was in bed.                  1713 01:11:50,272 --> 01:11:54,009  I was no longer getting           the pressure from his family.  1714 01:11:54,109 --> 01:11:57,446 - After a lot of soul searching,   Jenn reached a tipping point   1715 01:11:57,546 --> 01:11:59,782   and says she was finally able     to accept the truth           1716 01:11:59,882 --> 01:12:02,584 about her husband                   on the night of the murder.   1717 01:12:02,685 --> 01:12:05,888    - I realized he was           not home in bed.                 1718 01:12:07,356 --> 01:12:09,191 - It was                           a startling reversal,          1719 01:12:09,291 --> 01:12:11,860   triggered by                    a crisis of conscience.         1720 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:16,365    - I needed my kids             to see that, you know,          1721 01:12:16,465 --> 01:12:18,233   doing the right thing           is never wrong.                 1722 01:12:18,334 --> 01:12:20,169   And now I have to do           the right thing.                 1723 01:12:20,269 --> 01:12:22,471  - Which is to--                   - To tell the state.           1724 01:12:22,571 --> 01:12:25,841    - What a tumultuous journey   Jenn Greene had been on.         1725 01:12:25,941 --> 01:12:27,609  I've seen this before.          1726 01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,144    A change in                     the timing of things           1727 01:12:29,244 --> 01:12:31,880    can cause a witness           to get cold feet.                1728 01:12:31,980 --> 01:12:33,449  All the delays                  in going to trial                1729 01:12:33,549 --> 01:12:36,385   gave Jenn occasion to           nurture second thoughts         1730 01:12:36,485 --> 01:12:38,620   about throwing Daniel             a lifeline.                   1731 01:12:38,721 --> 01:12:41,090 And where she was                   about to come down            1732 01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,726   would change                      her family's life forever.    1733 01:12:43,826 --> 01:12:46,295 As she told me her story,        I had nothing but respect        1734 01:12:46,395 --> 01:12:49,298  and admiration                  for her courage.                 1735 01:12:50,566 --> 01:12:52,301 Four years after                  she'd given detectives          1736 01:12:52,401 --> 01:12:54,603 a powerful alibi                 for her husband,                 1737 01:12:54,703 --> 01:12:56,071 Jenn was                          on her way now                  1738 01:12:56,171 --> 01:12:58,974  to tell them something           very different.                 1739 01:12:59,074 --> 01:13:00,876  I wasn't at all                    nervous or anxious.           1740 01:13:00,976 --> 01:13:03,245  I was actually relieved            to finally be able            1741 01:13:03,345 --> 01:13:06,148    to talk to somebody            and say, "Hey, here's--         1742 01:13:06,248 --> 01:13:07,416 "Here's the truth                 of the matter.                  1743 01:13:07,516 --> 01:13:10,486  "Here's what's                  really going on."                1744 01:13:10,586 --> 01:13:14,423    - They met in a restaurant,     tucked away in a quiet booth.  1745 01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:16,492 - She says it was                 a lot going on,                 1746 01:13:16,592 --> 01:13:18,861   and I want to                  apologize to you,                1747 01:13:18,961 --> 01:13:21,830  but I can't be                     his alibi witness.            1748 01:13:21,930 --> 01:13:23,165  - Can't be his                   alibi witness?                  1749 01:13:23,265 --> 01:13:25,367  - And she said,                   "He was not with me."          1750 01:13:25,467 --> 01:13:28,237 - And there went                  Daniel Greene's alibi.          1751 01:13:28,337 --> 01:13:30,239   Jenn's original story            had been the bedrock           1752 01:13:30,339 --> 01:13:31,940 of her husband's defense.        1753 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,676  Her new version turned           her into a star witness         1754 01:13:34,777 --> 01:13:36,378   for the prosecution.           1755 01:13:36,478 --> 01:13:38,547    And the jury's gonna decide     what to make of you.           1756 01:13:38,647 --> 01:13:39,848    - Exactly.                    1757 01:13:39,948 --> 01:13:42,818 - She told it one way this time,   that she-- he was the alibi.   1758 01:13:42,918 --> 01:13:44,319   And now she's saying,             this guy's guilty,            1759 01:13:44,420 --> 01:13:45,454  guilty, guilty.                    - Exactly.                    1760 01:13:45,554 --> 01:13:48,690   I did say that he was in bed,     but I was coached.            1761 01:13:48,791 --> 01:13:52,728 I was reminded repeatedly           that he was in bed.           1762 01:13:52,828 --> 01:13:54,763  - A jury would                   have to decide.                 1763 01:13:54,863 --> 01:13:57,332    But Jenn's reversal looked     like a tremendous blow          1764 01:13:57,433 --> 01:14:00,636  to the defense                   and to Daniel Greene's parents. 1765 01:14:00,736 --> 01:14:02,704 This is a huge bombshell.        1766 01:14:02,805 --> 01:14:04,106  - Yes.                            - Was it a betrayal,           1767 01:14:04,206 --> 01:14:05,340    or is that                       too strong a word?            1768 01:14:05,441 --> 01:14:06,642  - No, it's a betrayal.          1769 01:14:06,742 --> 01:14:10,179  - I think what she did             is very calculated.           1770 01:14:10,879 --> 01:14:13,215 - Calculated, The Greenes          told us at the time,           1771 01:14:13,315 --> 01:14:16,685   because Jenn was now             asking for a divorce,          1772 01:14:16,785 --> 01:14:19,455    and Daniel refused to agree     to her terms.                  1773 01:14:19,555 --> 01:14:21,857    - She demanded everything.    1774 01:14:21,957 --> 01:14:24,359  It was                            totally unreasonable.          1775 01:14:24,460 --> 01:14:27,029   - "I want to be taken care of    the rest of my life.           1776 01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:30,632 "And Daniel, you're going           to do this for me.            1777 01:14:30,732 --> 01:14:33,202    "And if you don't do that,      you're going to spend          1778 01:14:33,302 --> 01:14:35,671  "the rest of your life          in prison anyway.                1779 01:14:35,771 --> 01:14:39,074    "Because I'm going to make      that happen for you."          1780 01:14:39,174 --> 01:14:40,876   - Vindictive?                   - Yes.                          1781 01:14:40,976 --> 01:14:41,877   Yes.                           1782 01:14:41,977 --> 01:14:44,046    - I don't need him            or his money to survive,         1783 01:14:44,146 --> 01:14:47,683   but he should be responsible    for his child.                  1784 01:14:47,783 --> 01:14:51,019   And to think that I'm             some kind of vindictive ex,   1785 01:14:51,119 --> 01:14:53,422 you know,                           that's ridiculous.            1786 01:14:53,522 --> 01:14:54,923  Like, come on.                  1787 01:14:55,023 --> 01:14:57,025   - Especially galling             for the Greenes was the idea   1788 01:14:57,125 --> 01:15:00,128 that they pressured Jenn           to be Daniel's alibi.          1789 01:15:00,229 --> 01:15:02,698    You deny that. You never--      - It never happened.           1790 01:15:02,798 --> 01:15:04,700  Never happened.                 1791 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,202  - The Greenes insisted          Jenn's original version,         1792 01:15:07,302 --> 01:15:10,172    given at the family's first    meeting with defense attorneys, 1793 01:15:10,272 --> 01:15:11,473  was the truth,                  1794 01:15:11,573 --> 01:15:13,709 and she could not                  have been more clear.          1795 01:15:13,809 --> 01:15:18,547    - Jenn blurts out,             "Randy, he was with me.         1796 01:15:18,647 --> 01:15:22,684    "I was-- I remember             that day perfectly."           1797 01:15:22,784 --> 01:15:26,455    - A betrayal to the Greenes   felt like a gift to the Hickeys. 1798 01:15:26,555 --> 01:15:28,323  - I thought, "Oh, Lord,         thank you, Lord,                 1799 01:15:28,423 --> 01:15:29,391 "for helping me."                1800 01:15:29,491 --> 01:15:31,560    And I looked up and I said,   "Jonny, thank you                1801 01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:35,230   "for putting a bug or          whatever in anybody's ear        1802 01:15:35,330 --> 01:15:37,366   "to get this going."           1803 01:15:37,466 --> 01:15:39,635    - There was another             huge development in the case,  1804 01:15:39,735 --> 01:15:43,205 and it was good news for         the Hickeys and the prosecution. 1805 01:15:43,305 --> 01:15:46,141    The Maryland Supreme Court    decided a jury could hear        1806 01:15:46,241 --> 01:15:49,711  Jennifer McKay's identification of Daniel Greene.                1807 01:15:49,811 --> 01:15:52,614   Prosecutor Rita Wisthoff-Ito.  1808 01:15:52,714 --> 01:15:55,918    - If we had lost, we might      have not had a case anymore.   1809 01:15:56,018 --> 01:15:59,354    The case might have              had to be dismissed           1810 01:15:59,454 --> 01:16:01,823  at that point in time.          1811 01:16:01,924 --> 01:16:03,859    - The state's case             looked strong,                  1812 01:16:03,959 --> 01:16:06,361  but the defense                   was primed to attack.          1813 01:16:06,461 --> 01:16:08,230   Jenn Greene's                    high stakes reversal           1814 01:16:08,330 --> 01:16:10,365  would become high drama         in the courtroom.                1815 01:16:10,465 --> 01:16:12,434   Warren Brown                      would see to that.            1816 01:16:12,534 --> 01:16:15,304   - Her motive now was              to hurt her husband           1817 01:16:15,404 --> 01:16:17,506  and really not                     provide the truth.            1818 01:16:17,606 --> 01:16:19,808    And so we felt pretty good     that their case                 1819 01:16:19,908 --> 01:16:22,277 was riddled with                 reasonable doubt.                1820 01:16:22,377 --> 01:16:24,880 - After years of                 drama and delays,                1821 01:16:24,980 --> 01:16:26,882  it was time to                     put that confidence           1822 01:16:26,982 --> 01:16:29,718 to the test at the trial         of Daniel Greene.                1823 01:16:42,598 --> 01:16:44,099   - June, 2023.                  1824 01:16:44,199 --> 01:16:46,201  Six years after                   Jon Hickey's murder,           1825 01:16:46,301 --> 01:16:48,437    the trial of Daniel Greene      got underway                   1826 01:16:48,537 --> 01:16:51,273    at the Mitchell Courthouse     in downtown Baltimore.          1827 01:16:51,373 --> 01:16:53,408 Let's talk about                  the trial, huh?                 1828 01:16:53,508 --> 01:16:55,811    Jon, are you there?             - I'm there.                   1829 01:16:55,911 --> 01:16:57,145    I was there                    the whole time.                 1830 01:16:57,245 --> 01:16:59,648  Yeah, I was not                 going to miss it.                1831 01:16:59,748 --> 01:17:00,983 - It was                          a circumstantial case.          1832 01:17:01,083 --> 01:17:04,353 But prosecutor Rita Wisthoff-Ito   thought it was a strong one.   1833 01:17:04,453 --> 01:17:06,655  - There was just so many things   in this case.                  1834 01:17:06,755 --> 01:17:07,756   Video footage                   was very good.                  1835 01:17:07,856 --> 01:17:09,925  It's clear, it's close.         1836 01:17:10,025 --> 01:17:11,259 You know,                         the black pickup truck.         1837 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:15,263  Testimony of Jen McKay             and Jenn Greene were most--   1838 01:17:15,364 --> 01:17:17,866  were very key.                  1839 01:17:17,966 --> 01:17:20,669    - The prosecution also had    a treasure trove of new evidence 1840 01:17:20,769 --> 01:17:24,139    Jenn Greene had discovered     in a hidden file on her laptop, 1841 01:17:24,239 --> 01:17:26,908   which the prosecutor            believed her husband was using. 1842 01:17:27,009 --> 01:17:29,911    Searches on how to             make untraceable calls          1843 01:17:30,012 --> 01:17:31,279  which seemed to connect           the defendant                  1844 01:17:31,380 --> 01:17:33,815 to those harassing calls            to Jennifer McKay.            1845 01:17:33,915 --> 01:17:37,152 And according to the prosecutor,    there were lots of searches   1846 01:17:37,252 --> 01:17:39,087    that showed                   Daniel Greene's obsession        1847 01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:41,523 with a man he was                  accused of murdering.          1848 01:17:41,623 --> 01:17:44,026    - You just see this              progression in his searches   1849 01:17:44,126 --> 01:17:46,928  of trying to figure out            who Jon Hickey was.           1850 01:17:47,029 --> 01:17:49,965  Where was he, you know,            his actual address.           1851 01:17:50,065 --> 01:17:53,568 Based on those searches,          he knew where Jon Hickey lived. 1852 01:17:53,669 --> 01:17:55,103   - Of course,                     the jurors got to see          1853 01:17:55,203 --> 01:17:57,205   that critical                   security camera video,          1854 01:17:57,305 --> 01:17:59,207  and they heard                   the two women who knew          1855 01:17:59,307 --> 01:18:01,777 Daniel Greene intimately           identify him,                  1856 01:18:01,877 --> 01:18:03,645   and not just                    from his face.                  1857 01:18:03,745 --> 01:18:06,181  Something else                   gave him away.                  1858 01:18:06,281 --> 01:18:10,786    - I saw my husband               just standing there           1859 01:18:10,886 --> 01:18:13,889   with his arms in his pockets   like he did, looking up,         1860 01:18:13,989 --> 01:18:15,691   and I just--                      I knew it was him.            1861 01:18:15,791 --> 01:18:17,793  - When prosecutor Wisthoff-Ito  looked at footage                1862 01:18:17,893 --> 01:18:20,262    of Daniel Greene pacing in     a police interview room         1863 01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:22,097  with his hands                   in his pockets,                 1864 01:18:22,197 --> 01:18:23,598   it was a revelation.           1865 01:18:23,699 --> 01:18:26,201   - That footage of him walking    around in that interview room  1866 01:18:26,301 --> 01:18:28,770   compared to the video footage    of him pacing around           1867 01:18:28,870 --> 01:18:32,107    in the back of that house,      that's-that's Daniel Greene.   1868 01:18:32,207 --> 01:18:34,710 There's just no--                there's no doubt.                1869 01:18:36,044 --> 01:18:37,412  - And when Wisthoff-Ito          showed the jury                 1870 01:18:37,512 --> 01:18:39,281   that interview room footage,   1871 01:18:39,381 --> 01:18:41,917   Warren Brown realized          he had a problem.                1872 01:18:42,017 --> 01:18:44,319    - I was ready to knock over     the pitcher of water           1873 01:18:44,419 --> 01:18:46,188    just to distract the jury.    1874 01:18:46,288 --> 01:18:48,090 It was certainly                  the strongest evidence          1875 01:18:48,190 --> 01:18:52,327 to bolster Jennifer McKay         and Jennifer Greene's assertion 1876 01:18:52,427 --> 01:18:56,698   that that's him on that video  outside this man's house.        1877 01:18:56,798 --> 01:18:59,735   - When defense attorney Brown   got his turn, he told the jury  1878 01:18:59,835 --> 01:19:01,203    that in a rush to judgment,   1879 01:19:01,303 --> 01:19:03,839   detectives neglected             obvious leads                  1880 01:19:03,939 --> 01:19:06,541   like that mysterious passport     and the palm print            1881 01:19:06,641 --> 01:19:07,976    on the windowsill.            1882 01:19:08,076 --> 01:19:09,311 - They wanted to                 close this matter                1883 01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:10,645    and move on                    to another one.                 1884 01:19:10,746 --> 01:19:13,615 And so there wasn't much          due diligence.                  1885 01:19:13,715 --> 01:19:16,918    It wasn't checking               all possibilities.            1886 01:19:17,018 --> 01:19:18,286    - We weren't going              to get fingerprints,           1887 01:19:18,386 --> 01:19:22,657  or DNA for that matter,         because the video showed         1888 01:19:22,758 --> 01:19:25,827  who we believe is Daniel Greene    wearing gloves at the time.   1889 01:19:25,927 --> 01:19:28,096  - Did you talk to passport guy?  Did you get his story?          1890 01:19:28,196 --> 01:19:30,465    Because some people            on the defense side say         1891 01:19:30,565 --> 01:19:33,602    he wasn't really looked at      as closely as you would have.  1892 01:19:33,702 --> 01:19:36,404   - He did not look in             any way, shape, form           1893 01:19:36,505 --> 01:19:39,374    like Daniel Greene               or the person in the video.   1894 01:19:39,474 --> 01:19:40,876    - Everything led to Daniel.   1895 01:19:40,976 --> 01:19:43,311   There was nobody else            to look for.                   1896 01:19:43,411 --> 01:19:45,180  - The defense believed            its best opportunity           1897 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,315 was to discredit                   Jenn Greene.                   1898 01:19:47,415 --> 01:19:50,919  Brown subjected her to           a withering cross examination,  1899 01:19:51,019 --> 01:19:52,954  hoping to show the jury            she was testifying            1900 01:19:53,054 --> 01:19:55,891    against her husband            out of revenge.                 1901 01:19:55,991 --> 01:19:57,793   Jenn rebuffed                     Brown's questions.            1902 01:19:57,893 --> 01:20:00,629    But then something             extraordinary happened.         1903 01:20:00,729 --> 01:20:02,397 - When she-she--                   on the witness stand,          1904 01:20:02,497 --> 01:20:05,567  she lost her composure.         1905 01:20:05,667 --> 01:20:07,502 - It was                           an explosive moment.           1906 01:20:07,602 --> 01:20:11,039    Jenn on the witness stand,       eyes fixed on her husband.    1907 01:20:11,139 --> 01:20:14,709 - Dan just had this smirk         and this glare,                 1908 01:20:14,810 --> 01:20:16,812    and it was one that           I was very familiar with.        1909 01:20:16,912 --> 01:20:21,082 It was the disapproving,         shut your mouth.                 1910 01:20:21,183 --> 01:20:22,651 Know your place.                 1911 01:20:22,751 --> 01:20:26,421   And I just--                     I just said,                   1912 01:20:26,521 --> 01:20:28,690   "You can stop                  looking at me like that."        1913 01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:31,026    - You told him, you said--    - I looked right at him.         1914 01:20:31,126 --> 01:20:34,629   And the judge cleared           the courtroom.                  1915 01:20:34,729 --> 01:20:37,199  And, you know,                   I got really emotional          1916 01:20:37,299 --> 01:20:38,967    because I thought,             oh, no.                         1917 01:20:39,067 --> 01:20:41,736    I let the jury see            me angry at him.                 1918 01:20:41,837 --> 01:20:44,673   And that was what the defense    was trying to paint.           1919 01:20:44,773 --> 01:20:47,509  - I loved it because we wanted     to say to the jury,           1920 01:20:47,609 --> 01:20:49,044 you see how much                  she hates him.                  1921 01:20:49,144 --> 01:20:50,111 You can see it in court.         1922 01:20:50,212 --> 01:20:51,880   She's got a motive to            come in here and lie.          1923 01:20:51,980 --> 01:20:54,015 And we were like,                   good, man.                    1924 01:20:54,115 --> 01:20:55,483  We're doing pretty well         with this thing.                 1925 01:20:55,584 --> 01:20:58,086    [laughing]                    We're doing pretty well.         1926 01:20:58,186 --> 01:21:00,021 - Daniel Greene's parents           thought the defense           1927 01:21:00,121 --> 01:21:01,957  could have done better.         1928 01:21:02,057 --> 01:21:05,026    They wanted the jury to see   a side by side comparison        1929 01:21:05,126 --> 01:21:07,362  of the enhanced                   security camera still          1930 01:21:07,462 --> 01:21:08,897   and Daniel's mugshot.          1931 01:21:08,997 --> 01:21:12,100    Proof positive, they said,     that Daniel was not the killer. 1932 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,603 - The guy in that                   surveillance video            1933 01:21:14,703 --> 01:21:16,371   is not Daniel Greene.          1934 01:21:16,471 --> 01:21:20,108  - Which is your opinion           of this image, right?          1935 01:21:20,208 --> 01:21:22,844   - Yes, but the jury--          1936 01:21:22,944 --> 01:21:25,180   - Why is that any difference   than Jen McKay's opinion         1937 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,382  or my opinion?                  1938 01:21:27,482 --> 01:21:30,285  - Look at that picture.           Look at that picture.          1939 01:21:30,385 --> 01:21:32,954    Look at that nose.               Look at that nose.            1940 01:21:33,054 --> 01:21:36,191  - A lot of people say,             this couple cannot believe    1941 01:21:36,291 --> 01:21:37,692  that their son                   did this thing.                 1942 01:21:37,792 --> 01:21:39,828    And they're living             in this bubble.                 1943 01:21:39,928 --> 01:21:41,730  And that's what                  they need at this point         1944 01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:44,232   just to get through.           - That is not a bubble. That's-- 1945 01:21:44,332 --> 01:21:46,368   That's a very vivid picture.     - It doesn't add up.           1946 01:21:46,468 --> 01:21:50,639 What's the motivation for         Daniel doing this to this man?  1947 01:21:50,739 --> 01:21:54,042   - If I thought my son did it,    I'd be the first one to say,   1948 01:21:54,142 --> 01:21:57,979   Daniel, plead guilty,           ask for mercy.                  1949 01:21:58,079 --> 01:22:00,348 - But the jurors would be          the finders of fact.           1950 01:22:00,448 --> 01:22:02,651  And after deliberating            for just three hours,          1951 01:22:02,751 --> 01:22:04,953  they reached a verdict.         1952 01:22:06,788 --> 01:22:09,491  Daniel Greene,                   guilty of first degree murder.  1953 01:22:09,591 --> 01:22:13,094   Also guilty of home invasion     and firearms charges.          1954 01:22:13,194 --> 01:22:14,763   - I was like,                   thank you, God.                 1955 01:22:14,863 --> 01:22:18,133    We got the justice.           And that was it.                 1956 01:22:18,233 --> 01:22:20,902 - We've got him.                    We're done.                   1957 01:22:22,904 --> 01:22:24,739   Sentence him.                    Put him away.                  1958 01:22:24,839 --> 01:22:27,142 - Daniel Greene was given        a life sentence,                 1959 01:22:27,242 --> 01:22:28,710    which he appealed.            1960 01:22:28,810 --> 01:22:30,779  And that may have been            the end of the story,          1961 01:22:30,879 --> 01:22:33,615  were it not for                  a stunning development.         1962 01:22:33,715 --> 01:22:35,617   A year after                     Daniel's sentencing,           1963 01:22:35,717 --> 01:22:37,886 a friend of Jon Hickey's           got a hold of a note           1964 01:22:37,986 --> 01:22:39,888   circulated at                     the Greene's church           1965 01:22:39,988 --> 01:22:43,325    asking for prayers,             called a prayer mail.          1966 01:22:43,425 --> 01:22:44,826   In it, Randy                    and Beth Greene                 1967 01:22:44,926 --> 01:22:46,861 wrote that Daniel                confessed to them                1968 01:22:46,962 --> 01:22:48,663  he murdered Jon Hickey.         1969 01:22:48,763 --> 01:22:50,198 "For seven years,                 we believed him to be innocent  1970 01:22:50,298 --> 01:22:53,134    "and defended him as such,"    the note read.                  1971 01:22:53,234 --> 01:22:56,738    "His sin and deception has     hurt and affected many people." 1972 01:22:58,106 --> 01:23:00,942  We reached out to Randy          and Beth to ask about the mail. 1973 01:23:01,042 --> 01:23:04,245 They declined to comment,         as did Daniel.                  1974 01:23:04,346 --> 01:23:07,515 Court records show he has          withdrawn his appeal.          1975 01:23:07,615 --> 01:23:09,017   Jenn Greene said that           when she heard                  1976 01:23:09,117 --> 01:23:10,418    about Daniel's confession,    1977 01:23:10,518 --> 01:23:14,155 she felt angry for all of         the people he betrayed.         1978 01:23:14,255 --> 01:23:16,257   She also felt                  proud of the way                 1979 01:23:16,358 --> 01:23:18,360   she confronted Daniel          in court.                        1980 01:23:18,460 --> 01:23:21,329  - Even though I had that moment   where I thought I screwed up,  1981 01:23:21,429 --> 01:23:23,331 I just felt like,                you don't have any power         1982 01:23:23,431 --> 01:23:24,599 over me anymore.                 1983 01:23:24,699 --> 01:23:26,701 You have not earned that,         and you don't get to have that. 1984 01:23:26,801 --> 01:23:27,869   So...                          1985 01:23:27,969 --> 01:23:29,604   - Did it feel good to             let loose with the thought?   1986 01:23:29,704 --> 01:23:31,973 - It did.                          It felt really good.           1987 01:23:32,073 --> 01:23:35,243  - A verdict, of course,          can't restore what's been lost. 1988 01:23:35,343 --> 01:23:37,445  - The two Jenns                 at the heart of the story        1989 01:23:37,545 --> 01:23:39,748   have been rebuilding             their lives.                   1990 01:23:39,848 --> 01:23:42,517    Jennifer McKay got married    and became a mom.                1991 01:23:42,617 --> 01:23:45,653   Jenn Greene told me she could     hold her head high            1992 01:23:45,754 --> 01:23:49,891    because ultimately,            she did tell the truth.         1993 01:23:49,991 --> 01:23:51,793   In a story with many victims,  1994 01:23:51,893 --> 01:23:54,362    Jenn does not want            to be counted among them.        1995 01:23:54,462 --> 01:23:56,464 - I hate the word victim.        1996 01:23:56,564 --> 01:23:59,601 I'm not a victim.                 I'm a survivor.                 1997 01:23:59,701 --> 01:24:01,503   - She is a survivor.           1998 01:24:01,603 --> 01:24:03,505    You know, we-we all            are survivors.                  1999 01:24:03,605 --> 01:24:05,473   We will survive this.          2000 01:24:08,043 --> 01:24:12,147 [bagpipes playing                "Amazing Grace"]                 2001 01:24:12,247 --> 01:24:16,651    ♪♪                            2002 01:24:16,751 --> 01:24:19,421    - I love you, baby.           2003 01:24:19,521 --> 01:24:22,757    - Survivors, still dealing      with a terrible loss,          2004 01:24:22,857 --> 01:24:26,795    but grateful for reminders      of the young man they loved.   2005 01:24:26,895 --> 01:24:28,830   Jon, I can't help but          notice down by your feet,        2006 01:24:28,930 --> 01:24:30,265  you got                          a firefighter's helmet.         2007 01:24:30,365 --> 01:24:32,500    What is it?                      Tell me its story.            2008 01:24:35,203 --> 01:24:38,306    This is who                    my nephew was.                  2009 01:24:38,406
