made a very, very grim discovery. 201 00:10:14,633 --> 00:10:17,313 [Newberg] In the trunk, they find blue and white striped towels... 202 00:10:20,313 --> 00:10:21,353 ...and a human body. 203 00:10:32,313 --> 00:10:33,813 [Kohlmeier] So, when officers arrive at the scene, 204 00:10:34,013 --> 00:10:35,373 the first thing they notice about this car 205 00:10:35,573 --> 00:10:37,373 was the windows lowered down, 206 00:10:37,573 --> 00:10:40,923 which is not normal for anyone leaving a vehicle, 207 00:10:41,123 --> 00:10:42,413 even by the side of the road if you were hiking. 208 00:10:43,693 --> 00:10:45,903 They then notice blood on the seats. 209 00:10:47,283 --> 00:10:49,573 So, the officers definitely felt 210 00:10:49,773 --> 00:10:52,853 that something was unusual and suspicious. 211 00:10:53,053 --> 00:10:55,473 As they're doing some search in the vehicle, 212 00:10:55,673 --> 00:10:57,123 they open up the trunk, 213 00:10:57,323 --> 00:11:00,373 and inside the trunk they find some different items 214 00:11:00,573 --> 00:11:02,023 where it looked like clothing. 215 00:11:02,223 --> 00:11:04,443 They actually didn't see the body at first. 216 00:11:04,633 --> 00:11:06,403 It took a little bit to work through some of the clothes 217 00:11:06,603 --> 00:11:11,023 to actually uncover that there was a body inside the trunk. 218 00:11:11,223 --> 00:11:13,443 If there's no identification on a body, 219 00:11:13,633 --> 00:11:15,543 we try to check on the registered owner. 220 00:11:15,743 --> 00:11:18,753 [Sutton] That is somebody that they have to look at 221 00:11:18,953 --> 00:11:22,573 as a person of interest in the homicide investigation. 222 00:11:22,773 --> 00:11:24,883 Because what is this dead body 223 00:11:25,083 --> 00:11:26,833 doing in this car? 224 00:11:29,213 --> 00:11:31,093 [Kohlmeier] At that time, when they run the license plate, 225 00:11:31,293 --> 00:11:35,063 it does come back to a person out of San Francisco. 226 00:11:35,263 --> 00:11:38,303 [Sutton] When police contacted the registered owner, 227 00:11:38,503 --> 00:11:42,643 he explained that he had actually sold the car 228 00:11:42,843 --> 00:11:45,723 to a buyer that he had met on Craigslist... 229 00:11:47,523 --> 00:11:48,483 ...Kelsey Turner. 230 00:11:51,213 --> 00:11:53,923 This guy said that he had made an arrangement with Kelsey 231 00:11:54,123 --> 00:11:56,923 whereas Kelsey was gonna make monthly payments on the car 232 00:11:57,123 --> 00:11:59,523 until they could transfer the car to her name. 233 00:12:01,723 --> 00:12:04,443 [Sacks] So, technically, he was listed as the owner, 234 00:12:04,633 --> 00:12:05,953 but the real occupant 235 00:12:06,153 --> 00:12:08,573 or the real everyday user of that car 236 00:12:08,773 --> 00:12:10,173 was Kelsey Turner. 237 00:12:13,283 --> 00:12:16,613 I think it was definitely a little bit suspicious, 238 00:12:16,813 --> 00:12:19,643 but the registered owner was in China 239 00:12:19,843 --> 00:12:21,243 at the time of the murder. 240 00:12:22,143 --> 00:12:23,613 And he did have paperwork to show 241 00:12:23,813 --> 00:12:26,333 he was actually, like, subleasing that car 242 00:12:26,533 --> 00:12:27,783 to a Kelsey Turner, 243 00:12:27,983 --> 00:12:31,723 so, that cleared him of being involved in the murder. 244 00:12:35,833 --> 00:12:38,263 When the coroner started the investigation and looking at the body, 245 00:12:38,463 --> 00:12:41,373 they noticed blood trauma to the head. 246 00:12:41,573 --> 00:12:43,853 [Newberg] There were defensive wounds on the arm, 247 00:12:44,053 --> 00:12:46,553 and the teeth were knocked out as well. 248 00:12:48,043 --> 00:12:49,503 [Sacks] Despite the brutal injuries, 249 00:12:49,703 --> 00:12:53,163 investigators are eventually able to identify the victim 250 00:12:53,363 --> 00:12:56,043 because multiple credit cards were found at the crime scene. 251 00:12:58,073 --> 00:12:59,813 Police are able to identify the victim 252 00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:02,623 as 71-year-old Dr. Thomas Burchard. 253 00:13:04,863 --> 00:13:08,233 He's a child psychiatrist based in Salinas, California, 254 00:13:08,433 --> 00:13:09,793 visiting Las Vegas. 255 00:13:12,973 --> 00:13:16,503 Dr. Burchard works at some of the country's most prestigious hospitals. 256 00:13:16,703 --> 00:13:18,883 He works at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, 257 00:13:19,083 --> 00:13:20,853 Mass General, UCLA. 258 00:13:21,053 --> 00:13:24,193 Eventually, he goes on to work at the community hospital 259 00:13:24,393 --> 00:13:26,283 of the Monterey Peninsula in California. 260 00:13:27,353 --> 00:13:29,993 He's very popular at his work. 261 00:13:30,193 --> 00:13:32,333 They even give him the nickname "Santa" 262 00:13:32,533 --> 00:13:34,043 because he looks like Santa Claus. 263 00:13:45,353 --> 00:13:47,573 [Sutton] Once the victim was identified, 264 00:13:47,773 --> 00:13:50,193 the detectives were quick to learn 265 00:13:50,393 --> 00:13:52,543 that for three solid days, 266 00:13:52,743 --> 00:13:56,193 the police had been trying to locate Dr. Burchard, 267 00:13:56,393 --> 00:13:58,313 and determine about his wellbeing. 268 00:14:01,243 --> 00:14:05,123 Dr. Burchard came to Vegas on March 1st of 2019, 269 00:14:05,323 --> 00:14:09,573 and March 2nd was the last day that his partner, Judy, 270 00:14:09,773 --> 00:14:12,263 had received a text message from him, 271 00:14:12,463 --> 00:14:14,093 and it said something along the lines of, 272 00:14:14,293 --> 00:14:16,473 "I'm excited to come home." 273 00:14:16,673 --> 00:14:19,783 But at a certain point, Thomas's phone is completely turned off, 274 00:14:19,983 --> 00:14:21,883 and she calls him, 275 00:14:22,083 --> 00:14:23,753 and other people had tried calling, 276 00:14:23,953 --> 00:14:24,933 but he's just no answering. 277 00:14:26,353 --> 00:14:28,093 She had a feeling that something was wrong, 278 00:14:28,293 --> 00:14:30,303 and she had been calling law enforcement 279 00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:32,763 to try to figure out why he wasn't answering his phone. 280 00:14:33,763 --> 00:14:35,303 Judy mentions to the police 281 00:14:35,503 --> 00:14:38,553 that she thinks he might have been with a woman named Kelsey Turner. 282 00:14:42,073 --> 00:14:44,643 We don't know exactly how Dr. Burchard met Kelsey, 283 00:14:44,843 --> 00:14:46,813 but at one point in California, 284 00:14:47,013 --> 00:14:49,573 they were living in the same small town. 285 00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:52,263 As detectives were conducting their investigation, 286 00:14:52,463 --> 00:14:54,503 information from Judy led them to believe 287 00:14:54,703 --> 00:14:56,813 that Thomas Burchard would find women 288 00:14:57,013 --> 00:15:00,023 that were good looking women, and try to befriend them. 289 00:15:00,223 --> 00:15:03,403 [Sacks] Dr. Burchard was particularly known for helping young women 290 00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:05,543 who were hard on their times. 291 00:15:05,743 --> 00:15:09,883 He would kind of come in and be their savior as it were. 292 00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:11,163 He liked to help. 293 00:15:11,363 --> 00:15:14,163 He kind of liked the hero complex, Judy would say later on. 294 00:15:14,363 --> 00:15:16,953 [Madison] Judy thought of Dr. Burchard's relationship 295 00:15:17,153 --> 00:15:18,813 with these women almost like charity. 296 00:15:19,013 --> 00:15:21,553 Like he was trying to help women who needed assistance. 297 00:15:22,283 --> 00:15:25,573 Whether it was a case of love 298 00:15:25,773 --> 00:15:29,193 or relationships or just a friendship, 299 00:15:29,393 --> 00:15:31,233 information from Judy led to believe 300 00:15:31,433 --> 00:15:32,763 that he was giving money to Kelsey. 301 00:15:35,973 --> 00:15:39,063 [Sacks] Kelsey's been featured in different magazines, 302 00:15:39,263 --> 00:15:41,953 she's very active on Instagram as a swimsuit model, 303 00:15:42,153 --> 00:15:44,593 and she has developed into that persona... 304 00:15:45,763 --> 00:15:47,933 ...but she's also struggling to pay her bills. 305 00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:51,613 In California, Thomas had been paying 306 00:15:51,813 --> 00:15:53,543 for Kelsey's rent, 307 00:15:53,743 --> 00:15:56,813 and he had been paying her bills. 308 00:15:57,013 --> 00:15:59,993 Their relationship worked out well because Kelsey was living with her mother 309 00:16:00,193 --> 00:16:03,473 in California where she recently lost her job. 310 00:16:03,673 --> 00:16:06,953 Dr. Burchard was financially supporting Kelsey and her family. 311 00:16:07,153 --> 00:16:09,503 He would pay for her and her mother's expenses. 312 00:16:09,703 --> 00:16:11,753 Their rent, Kelsey's car, 313 00:16:11,953 --> 00:16:14,333 and pretty much anything they needed. 314 00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:16,863 [Sacks] He had been subsidizing her lifestyle for a long time. 315 00:16:19,073 --> 00:16:22,443 Judy told the police that Thomas had already spent 316 00:16:22,633 --> 00:16:26,043 over $300,000 on Kelsey Turner. 317 00:16:29,903 --> 00:16:31,643 [Madison] After Kelsey moved to Las Vegas, 318 00:16:31,843 --> 00:16:33,683 Dr. Burchard kept paying her rent, 319 00:16:33,883 --> 00:16:35,953 and was sending her money weekly. 320 00:16:36,153 --> 00:16:39,303 He doesn't want her out on the street or having a hard time. 321 00:16:39,503 --> 00:16:42,923 That seems like a really generous thing for Dr. Burchard to do, 322 00:16:43,123 --> 00:16:45,023 but things like that can get complicated. 323 00:16:45,223 --> 00:16:47,813 Sometimes in relationships like that, 324 00:16:48,013 --> 00:16:50,443 there's all kinds of expectations on either side 325 00:16:50,633 --> 00:16:52,123 that go unspoken, 326 00:16:52,323 --> 00:16:54,753 which can lead to all kinds of disagreements 327 00:16:54,953 --> 00:16:56,623 and conflict further down the road. 328 00:17:00,313 --> 00:17:02,883 Judy was pretty forthcoming... 329 00:17:03,083 --> 00:17:06,853 ...but she never really elaborated what the nature of the relationships were. 330 00:17:07,053 --> 00:17:10,193 If I had to guess, I'd say there was something that happened 331 00:17:10,393 --> 00:17:12,103 of a sexual nature. 332 00:17:13,313 --> 00:17:16,123 It could also just be sexual innuendo 333 00:17:16,323 --> 00:17:18,303 that Kelsey had presented or... 334 00:17:18,503 --> 00:17:22,373 and maybe possibly, you know, led him to believe. 335 00:17:22,573 --> 00:17:25,593 [Kohlmeier] And Judy felt endangered by the relationship... 336 00:17:26,623 --> 00:17:28,793 ...and Judy definitely was nervous, upset... 337 00:17:30,313 --> 00:17:32,643 ...and maybe somewhat jealous of the situation, 338 00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:34,613 especially a much younger woman 339 00:17:34,813 --> 00:17:36,973 who's a model and very attractive. 340 00:17:40,143 --> 00:17:42,173 There was a moment where Judy was very clear. 341 00:17:42,863 --> 00:17:43,933 She gave a bottom line. 342 00:17:45,213 --> 00:17:48,953 She wanted Thomas to stop supporting Kelsey. 343 00:17:49,153 --> 00:17:51,193 [Madison] Even if this was a transactional relationship, 344 00:17:51,393 --> 00:17:54,443 that doesn't mean that he didn't necessarily care for Kelsey 345 00:17:54,633 --> 00:17:56,123 or want to make sure she was okay. 346 00:17:56,323 --> 00:17:58,383 Those things aren't mutually exclusive. 347 00:18:02,723 --> 00:18:05,683 [Barghouty] So, Dr. Burchard traveled to Las Vegas 348 00:18:05,883 --> 00:18:08,573 to see how Kelsey was spending his money, 349 00:18:08,773 --> 00:18:10,233 what the situation was, 350 00:18:10,433 --> 00:18:12,683 to see if she was telling the truth about how she was living, 351 00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:14,263 and what she was using it for, 352 00:18:14,463 --> 00:18:17,313 and to potentially stop funding her lifestyle. 353 00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:21,023 [Kohlmeier] So, as the investigation continued, 354 00:18:21,223 --> 00:18:24,543 police realized that there were several calls that came in for welfare checks. 355 00:18:24,743 --> 00:18:26,623 to check on Thomas Burchard. 356 00:18:28,213 --> 00:18:30,753 [Sacks] And they're able to trace his location 357 00:18:30,953 --> 00:18:33,523 to the residence where Kelsey and her roommates lived. 358 00:18:34,793 --> 00:18:35,993 His phone revealed that he was there 359 00:18:36,193 --> 00:18:39,023 on March 1st and March 2nd. 360 00:18:39,223 --> 00:18:41,063 But after that, on March 3rd, 361 00:18:41,263 --> 00:18:44,573 his phone is turned off and no location can be found. 362 00:18:44,773 --> 00:18:46,993 [Newberg] Police do welfare checks 363 00:18:47,193 --> 00:18:51,353 on March 3rd, 4th and 5th at Kelsey's house. 364 00:18:52,903 --> 00:18:56,503 This was a house where there was always somebody at home, 365 00:18:56,703 --> 00:18:59,883 but it looked like this house had been vacated, 366 00:19:00,083 --> 00:19:03,723 and then everyone had mysteriously vanished. 367 00:19:14,863 --> 00:19:18,263 On March 8th, police eventually are able to get a search warrant 368 00:19:18,463 --> 00:19:20,123 for Kelsey's home. 369 00:19:20,323 --> 00:19:21,573 [Kohlmeier] Neighbors feel something's wrong, 370 00:19:21,773 --> 00:19:23,783 and they're also suspicious for the fact that 371 00:19:23,983 --> 00:19:27,833 it's been several days, and there's no major activity at the home. 372 00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:32,643 Even with getting information from Judy, 373 00:19:32,843 --> 00:19:35,443 doesn't mean that Kelsey herself 374 00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:36,793 could not be in danger. 375 00:19:40,903 --> 00:19:44,443 In the middle of the floor, investigators find two piles of laundry, 376 00:19:44,633 --> 00:19:47,263 and the towels in one of those piles of laundry 377 00:19:47,463 --> 00:19:49,123 matches the ones that were found 378 00:19:49,323 --> 00:19:51,793 with Dr. Burchard's body in the trunk of the car. 379 00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:56,863 They immediately notice these towels have blood stains. 380 00:20:01,693 --> 00:20:04,193 [Kohlmeier] Also, there were various fingerprints 381 00:20:04,393 --> 00:20:06,303 that were located in the car. 382 00:20:06,503 --> 00:20:10,853 So, of course, crime scene lab will actually take all those fingerprints 383 00:20:11,053 --> 00:20:14,043 to identify who the fingerprints were. 384 00:20:14,903 --> 00:20:16,093 [Newberg] And they find record 385 00:20:16,293 --> 00:20:19,713 of Kelsey's roommate Diana's fingerprints in the car, 386 00:20:19,913 --> 00:20:22,973 and her boyfriend Jon's fingerprints are in there as well. 387 00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:28,263 In Las Vegas, it's very common to be fingerprinted 388 00:20:28,463 --> 00:20:30,023 for many different jobs. 389 00:20:30,223 --> 00:20:32,373 Diana Pena worked at a local casino, 390 00:20:32,573 --> 00:20:33,993 so, her fingerprints were on file 391 00:20:34,193 --> 00:20:36,953 because she would have had to get that done to work at the casino. 392 00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:39,643 [Sacks] Jon Kennison had a few drug offenses on his record, 393 00:20:39,843 --> 00:20:41,903 and he had been fingerprinted at his last arrest. 394 00:20:44,933 --> 00:20:47,553 At this point, investigators can't be sure if Kelsey's a victim. 395 00:20:49,763 --> 00:20:52,383 They can't be sure if any of the other roommates are a victim. 396 00:20:54,043 --> 00:20:55,833 They have two crime scenes... 397 00:20:57,243 --> 00:20:59,213 ...and everyone is missing. 398 00:21:01,043 --> 00:21:03,283 [Kohlmeier] There was no major reason to clean up... 399 00:21:04,283 --> 00:21:06,613 ...they weren't vacating of house... 400 00:21:06,813 --> 00:21:10,353 ...so some type of altercation and clean-up took place. 401 00:21:11,413 --> 00:21:13,373 That's why the clean-up material 402 00:21:13,573 --> 00:21:16,073 was definitely very suspicious to Las Vegas Metro Police. 403 00:21:22,453 --> 00:21:26,263 [Sutton] So, detectives interviewed the landlord of the property, 404 00:21:26,463 --> 00:21:29,473 and the landlord explained to them 405 00:21:29,673 --> 00:21:31,543 that Dr. Burchard 406 00:21:31,743 --> 00:21:34,103 was actually the one who paid the rent 407 00:21:35,073 --> 00:21:36,443 on the residence 408 00:21:36,633 --> 00:21:39,353 even though Kelsey Turner was the occupant of the residence. 409 00:21:40,553 --> 00:21:44,503 And the lease was actually going to expire 410 00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:46,973 later on in the year during 2019. 411 00:21:52,383 --> 00:21:56,643 What it looks like is someone committed a violent crime. 412 00:21:56,843 --> 00:21:59,923 Probably the murder of Thomas Burchard, 413 00:22:00,123 --> 00:22:01,713 and they're now fleeing the scene. 414 00:22:01,913 --> 00:22:04,073 [Sutton] But just because there's one victim, 415 00:22:04,863 --> 00:22:06,453 doesn't mean there's not another. 416 00:22:08,313 --> 00:22:10,333 [Kohlmeier] When they were conducting the search warrant, 417 00:22:10,533 --> 00:22:14,233 they also did attempt to trace and tap the phone 418 00:22:14,433 --> 00:22:17,953 that Kelsey had to find out the areas that she was at 419 00:22:18,153 --> 00:22:20,313 over the last few days or where possibly she was. 420 00:22:21,453 --> 00:22:23,713 [Sutton] Investigators looked deeply 421 00:22:23,913 --> 00:22:27,693 into Kelsey Turner's phone records. 422 00:22:29,553 --> 00:22:31,093 They found that she had utilized the phone, 423 00:22:31,293 --> 00:22:34,283 and she was in the area of the home from the 1st to the 5th... 424 00:22:36,283 --> 00:22:37,973 ...but after the 6th... 425 00:22:40,483 --> 00:22:41,863 ...nada. 426 00:22:43,593 --> 00:22:45,243 There was nothing. 427 00:22:47,143 --> 00:22:50,413 On March 7th, the records show that Kelsey's phone had been turned off. 428 00:22:54,003 --> 00:22:55,933 [Kohlmeier] This definitely seemed suspicious. 429 00:22:57,663 --> 00:22:59,953 We just didn't really know at the time, 430 00:23:00,153 --> 00:23:02,483 was she a suspect or was she a victim and kidnapped? 431 00:23:04,593 --> 00:23:05,853 You just don't wanna say, 432 00:23:06,053 --> 00:23:08,163 "Oh, I think Kelsey murdered someone" 433 00:23:08,363 --> 00:23:10,333 just because a family member or a friend 434 00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:13,763 or a partner of Thomas's says, "He's in danger." 435 00:23:15,043 --> 00:23:18,163 [Sacks] However, as Judy began to encourage him to pull back, 436 00:23:18,363 --> 00:23:22,333 Kelsey began threatening to call professional associations, 437 00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:26,993 threatening to report Thomas for unsavory behavior, 438 00:23:27,193 --> 00:23:29,573 and so, as that began to happen, 439 00:23:29,773 --> 00:23:30,993 he was scared. 440 00:23:31,193 --> 00:23:33,333 So, Thomas kept on supporting Kelsey 441 00:23:33,533 --> 00:23:34,723 against Judy's advice. 442 00:23:37,593 --> 00:23:39,713 [Sutton] So, they were gonna be checking the records 443 00:23:39,913 --> 00:23:40,933 of the doctor's phone as well. 444 00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:44,233 And there were calls made, 445 00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:46,233 and the phone had been utilized 446 00:23:46,433 --> 00:23:48,073 up until March 3rd. 447 00:23:49,383 --> 00:23:52,173 And then, after March 3rd, there was nothing. 448 00:23:53,523 --> 00:23:56,573 [Sacks] The last time Judy heard from Thomas Burchard 449 00:23:56,773 --> 00:23:58,303 was when they exchanged texts, 450 00:23:58,503 --> 00:24:00,853 and when he expressed that he was excited 451 00:24:01,053 --> 00:24:03,043 to finish his business and come home. 452 00:24:04,863 --> 00:24:07,073 But here's where it gets really interesting. 453 00:24:08,483 --> 00:24:11,903 Dr. Burchard's phone was actually in the possession... 454 00:24:13,143 --> 00:24:15,143 ...of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. 455 00:24:17,763 --> 00:24:21,073 The phone had been impounded prior to this. 456 00:24:22,693 --> 00:24:25,503 On March 6th, one of Thomas's friends 457 00:24:25,703 --> 00:24:27,233 is trying to reach Thomas, 458 00:24:27,433 --> 00:24:30,373 and he calls him, and this guy named Jonny picks up. 459 00:24:30,573 --> 00:24:33,473 [Kohlmeier] So, the friend speaks to Jonny, 460 00:24:33,673 --> 00:24:36,103 "Please take that phone and bring it to the police station." 461 00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:38,503 Which, to me, I am shocked 462 00:24:38,703 --> 00:24:41,713 that this guy actually went into the police officers, 463 00:24:41,913 --> 00:24:44,613 the impound, whether it was for safekeeping at the time 464 00:24:44,813 --> 00:24:47,063 or for investigative purposes. 465 00:24:47,263 --> 00:24:48,663 [Newberg] So, the police have the phone now. 466 00:24:51,453 --> 00:24:54,903 On March 12th, this is after Thomas's body has already been found, 467 00:24:55,663 --> 00:24:57,953 detectives track down Jonny, 468 00:24:58,153 --> 00:24:59,163 and they go and meet with him, 469 00:24:59,363 --> 00:25:01,693 it's a male detective and a female detective. 470 00:25:03,073 --> 00:25:06,143 So, this man said that he just found the phone lying around. 471 00:25:09,073 --> 00:25:10,973 And suddenly Jonny... 472 00:25:12,003 --> 00:25:14,953 ...he actually confesses to involvement 473 00:25:15,153 --> 00:25:16,863 in Dr. Burchard's murder. 474 00:25:26,723 --> 00:25:29,353 Jonny turns out to be a transient guy around town. 475 00:25:31,453 --> 00:25:33,883 The Las Vegas Metro Police detectives locate Jonny 476 00:25:34,083 --> 00:25:36,573 who found the phone that was either lost 477 00:25:36,773 --> 00:25:39,303 or thrown out of a window or who knows what. 478 00:25:39,503 --> 00:25:41,993 [Sacks] Well, look, detectives, if they immediately find a man 479 00:25:42,193 --> 00:25:44,403 who's in possession of a phone of a victim, 480 00:25:44,603 --> 00:25:46,973 and he confesses, they probably thought he was involved. 481 00:25:51,973 --> 00:25:55,923 And detectives have a really combative interview with him. 482 00:25:56,123 --> 00:25:57,663 He's yelling at them. 483 00:25:58,933 --> 00:26:01,573 He was not being friendly in general, 484 00:26:01,773 --> 00:26:06,753 which led the police to believe that maybe he had information. 485 00:26:06,953 --> 00:26:10,003 At one point, Jonny threatens to eat the male detective's soul... 486 00:26:11,283 --> 00:26:12,933 ...and he tries to attack a female detective. 487 00:26:15,073 --> 00:26:17,953 He had some mental issues and emotional issues 488 00:26:18,153 --> 00:26:20,813 that caused him to want to, 489 00:26:21,013 --> 00:26:22,523 uh, let's say, uh... 490 00:26:24,313 --> 00:26:26,903 ...talk about his involvement when it actually didn't happen. 491 00:26:30,553 --> 00:26:33,233 [Sacks] After taking some time to observe him and question him, 492 00:26:33,433 --> 00:26:35,353 they realized that he was a false confessor. 493 00:26:36,793 --> 00:26:39,923 They were able to determine that he had nothing to do with this crime, 494 00:26:40,123 --> 00:26:42,763 and that he was very unstable, unfortunately. 495 00:26:44,593 --> 00:26:47,853 But it was this phone that gave them new evidence 496 00:26:48,053 --> 00:26:51,503 to be able to trace Dr. Burchard's steps. 497 00:26:51,703 --> 00:26:53,663 To be able to trace his last known movement. 498 00:26:56,763 --> 00:27:00,993 They're also able to look at Thomas Burchard's phone records, 499 00:27:01,193 --> 00:27:03,713 and they're able to trace his location 500 00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:06,753 to the residence where Kelsey and her roommates live. 501 00:27:06,953 --> 00:27:10,883 His phone revealed that he was there on March 1st and March 2nd. 502 00:27:11,083 --> 00:27:13,713 After that, on March 3rd, his phone is turned off, 503 00:27:13,913 --> 00:27:16,233 and his whereabouts are unknown. 504 00:27:16,433 --> 00:27:18,573 So, with all this evidence piling up, 505 00:27:18,773 --> 00:27:22,093 it's been nearly a week since Thomas's body has been found, 506 00:27:22,293 --> 00:27:25,283 the police don't know where Kelsey is, but they're actively looking for her. 507 00:27:27,383 --> 00:27:30,063 [Kohlmeier] At this point in time, has she been kidnapped, 508 00:27:30,263 --> 00:27:32,333 is she in danger or was she involved 509 00:27:32,533 --> 00:27:34,213 in the murder of Thomas Burchard? 510 00:27:39,003 --> 00:27:41,003 On the 21st March, 511 00:27:41,973 --> 00:27:44,073 the case took a very interesting turn. 512 00:27:45,593 --> 00:27:48,303 The Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, 513 00:27:48,503 --> 00:27:51,713 security contacted the Metro Police 514 00:27:51,913 --> 00:27:56,023 to let them know that they had some personal items 515 00:27:56,223 --> 00:28:00,143 that they believe that the police might have an interest in. 516 00:28:01,353 --> 00:28:03,233 [Kohlmeier] Most security works well 517 00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:05,623 with the local police department in Las Vegas... 518 00:28:06,663 --> 00:28:08,713 ...and they always have a conversation, 519 00:28:08,913 --> 00:28:10,283 and they're always sharing information. 520 00:28:11,553 --> 00:28:13,193 [Newberg] And with casinos out here, 521 00:28:13,393 --> 00:28:15,403 it's pretty common that people leave stuff in your room, 522 00:28:15,603 --> 00:28:19,353 so, the Rio had collected these bags of... 523 00:28:20,383 --> 00:28:22,573 ...of articles and items from somebody 524 00:28:22,773 --> 00:28:24,973 who had stayed at the hotel and just abandoned. 525 00:28:26,693 --> 00:28:27,953 From the Rio lost and found, 526 00:28:28,153 --> 00:28:31,473 police find medication bottles belonging to Diana Pena. 527 00:28:31,673 --> 00:28:34,473 They find some documents, they find this little black book 528 00:28:34,673 --> 00:28:37,693 with Thomas's handwriting in it that had his bank account information. 529 00:28:40,003 --> 00:28:42,663 And they also find Kelsey Turner's driver's license. 530 00:28:46,523 --> 00:28:47,923 It was just so much evidence 531 00:28:48,123 --> 00:28:50,233 in regards to the situation in the car 532 00:28:50,433 --> 00:28:53,523 and fingerprints and blood in different locations in the home. 533 00:28:56,833 --> 00:28:59,443 Judy had a bad feeling about Kelsey Turner, 534 00:28:59,633 --> 00:29:03,303 and she had asked Dr. Burchard to end that relationship 535 00:29:03,503 --> 00:29:04,933 and to stop sending her money. 536 00:29:07,383 --> 00:29:08,683 Judy tells investigators 537 00:29:08,883 --> 00:29:11,303 that Kelsey had been extorting Dr. Burchard. 538 00:29:11,503 --> 00:29:14,093 That she had threatened to spread rumors 539 00:29:14,293 --> 00:29:15,883 that could end his career, 540 00:29:16,083 --> 00:29:18,163 and that she was taking advantage of Dr. Burchard's 541 00:29:18,363 --> 00:29:20,043 kindness and generosity. 542 00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:25,953 Judy was growing more concerned about Dr. Burchard. 543 00:29:26,153 --> 00:29:28,263 She saw his mental health declining. 544 00:29:28,463 --> 00:29:31,193 He had signs of possible early dementia, 545 00:29:31,393 --> 00:29:33,903 and she really felt that he was being taken advantage of by Kelsey. 546 00:29:35,663 --> 00:29:38,103 She wanted him to cut Kelsey off. 547 00:29:39,553 --> 00:29:42,993 She felt that Kelsey was trying to take him for every penny he had. 548 00:29:43,193 --> 00:29:45,353 But there was no way Kelsey was letting this go. 549 00:29:52,143 --> 00:29:55,303 [Sutton] With all of the evidence that had mounted up... 550 00:29:55,503 --> 00:29:58,753 ...that Kelsey Turner was involved in this crime, 551 00:29:58,953 --> 00:30:01,523 this became critical information. 552 00:30:02,553 --> 00:30:04,243 Investigators know they have one victim... 553 00:30:05,383 --> 00:30:08,213 ...and Kelsey Turner has disappeared at this point. 554 00:30:10,103 --> 00:30:13,853 So, on the 21st of March... 555 00:30:14,053 --> 00:30:18,093 ...the Metropolitan Police actually submitted for an arrest warrant 556 00:30:18,293 --> 00:30:19,903 for Kelsey Turner. 557 00:30:21,623 --> 00:30:23,353 [Barghouty] There were so many questions. 558 00:30:24,243 --> 00:30:25,553 Why were they on the run? 559 00:30:26,383 --> 00:30:27,813 If there's no wrongdoing here, 560 00:30:28,013 --> 00:30:30,213 why would you keep trying to escape? 561 00:30:31,283 --> 00:30:32,923 It's been radio silence. 562 00:30:33,123 --> 00:30:34,573 Nobody knows what happened to Kelsey, 563 00:30:34,773 --> 00:30:35,793 no one knows where she is. 564 00:30:44,763 --> 00:30:48,443 The Metropolitan Police Department detectives went to a judge, 565 00:30:48,633 --> 00:30:51,243 and had arrest warrants issued 566 00:30:52,043 --> 00:30:54,163 for conspiracy to commit murder 567 00:30:54,363 --> 00:30:56,073 for Diana Pena... 568 00:30:57,383 --> 00:31:01,353 ...and Kelsey Turner's boyfriend, Jon Kennison. 569 00:31:03,353 --> 00:31:06,763 On April 12th, Diana Pena gets with her criminal defense attorney, 570 00:31:07,523 --> 00:31:09,073 and she turns herself in. 571 00:31:10,903 --> 00:31:12,263 [Newberg] She immediately tells police 572 00:31:12,463 --> 00:31:15,503 it was Kelsey and Kelsey's boyfriend, Jon, 573 00:31:15,703 --> 00:31:18,313 who were responsible for Dr. Burchard's murder. 574 00:31:23,383 --> 00:31:26,413 [Sutton] Diana is employed at a local casino. 575 00:31:28,523 --> 00:31:30,193 On March 3rd, 576 00:31:30,393 --> 00:31:34,693 the doctor and Kelsey had arrived to pick her up. 577 00:31:36,073 --> 00:31:38,373 So, Kelsey has Dr. Burchard's phone in her hand, 578 00:31:38,573 --> 00:31:41,003 she's looking at the GPS to try to figure out their way back home. 579 00:31:42,353 --> 00:31:44,613 [Newberg] Diana says that as they're driving, 580 00:31:44,813 --> 00:31:47,853 Kelsey is looking through Thomas's phone. 581 00:31:48,053 --> 00:31:50,093 She starts to get angry, 582 00:31:50,293 --> 00:31:52,543 and then it starts to get pretty heated in the car, 583 00:31:52,743 --> 00:31:54,103 and they're, like, yelling at each other. 584 00:31:55,973 --> 00:31:58,093 [Sutton] The argument became actually physical 585 00:31:58,293 --> 00:32:00,443 between Turner and the doctor 586 00:32:00,633 --> 00:32:03,333 to the point where Diana had to intervene, 587 00:32:03,533 --> 00:32:06,443 and try and calm this situation down 588 00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:10,333 and take control of it so that they could get home. 589 00:32:10,533 --> 00:32:14,143 Diana was saying that there were pornographic photos on Thomas's phone. 590 00:32:15,103 --> 00:32:17,473 This sends Kelsey reeling. 591 00:32:17,673 --> 00:32:18,763 She's extremely upset. 592 00:32:20,073 --> 00:32:22,233 [Sutton] Kelsey Turner somehow discovered 593 00:32:22,433 --> 00:32:24,403 that there were nude photographs 594 00:32:24,603 --> 00:32:27,933 and sexually explicit text messages 595 00:32:28,833 --> 00:32:30,543 between the doctor 596 00:32:30,743 --> 00:32:33,353 and Kelsey's mother. 597 00:32:41,173 --> 00:32:42,473 [Sacks] Thomas knew Kelsey's mother 598 00:32:42,673 --> 00:32:45,573 because the previous apartment he had rented for Kelsey 599 00:32:45,773 --> 00:32:47,923 in Salinas, California, 600 00:32:48,123 --> 00:32:49,473 she resided there with her mother. 601 00:32:49,673 --> 00:32:51,263 But Kelsey didn't see this as a good reason 602 00:32:51,463 --> 00:32:53,213 for the two to be exchanging messages. 603 00:32:54,353 --> 00:32:55,443 [Barghouty] So, they get back to the house, 604 00:32:55,633 --> 00:32:57,403 and Kelsey keeps getting madder and madder, 605 00:32:57,603 --> 00:33:00,953 and, at this point, Dr. Burchard keeps telling her 606 00:33:01,153 --> 00:33:02,333 that she needs to cool off, 607 00:33:02,533 --> 00:33:04,093 and that they can keep talking about it 608 00:33:04,293 --> 00:33:06,783 once she's had a second to sort of gather herself. 609 00:33:06,983 --> 00:33:10,643 But Kelsey just keeps getting more and more angry. 610 00:33:10,843 --> 00:33:12,643 [Madison] Kelsey discovered that Dr. Burchard 611 00:33:12,843 --> 00:33:15,923 was exchanging explicit photos with her mother, 612 00:33:16,123 --> 00:33:18,543 and she threatened to expose him 613 00:33:18,743 --> 00:33:20,623 if he didn't continue to bankroll her. 614 00:33:22,043 --> 00:33:23,503 [Barghouty] She's going to blackmail him, 615 00:33:23,703 --> 00:33:26,093 and try to get him fired from his job or even worse 616 00:33:26,293 --> 00:33:28,103 by accusing him of some sort of wrongdoing. 617 00:33:29,663 --> 00:33:31,543 [Madison] I think Kelsey thought she was on to a good thing, 618 00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:34,073 and was going to hang on to it any way she could. 619 00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:36,473 [Sutton] The argument continues, 620 00:33:36,673 --> 00:33:40,403 and Kelsey is haranguing the doctor, 621 00:33:40,603 --> 00:33:43,243 and the doctor is saying, "I don't want any part of this anymore," 622 00:33:43,903 --> 00:33:46,093 and Kelsey Turner tells him 623 00:33:46,293 --> 00:33:48,923 to go upstairs while she calms down, 624 00:33:49,123 --> 00:33:51,953 but she continues to go up there 625 00:33:52,153 --> 00:33:55,503 to where the doctor is to attack him verbally, 626 00:33:55,703 --> 00:33:58,573 and this continues to escalate 627 00:33:58,773 --> 00:34:01,163 into even more argument. 628 00:34:01,363 --> 00:34:03,853 So, Kelsey, during this heated argument, 629 00:34:04,053 --> 00:34:07,923 basically extorts him to give her 630 00:34:08,123 --> 00:34:10,023 his bank account information 631 00:34:10,223 --> 00:34:13,163 so that she can get money from him 632 00:34:13,363 --> 00:34:15,263 as a way of payment 633 00:34:15,463 --> 00:34:18,813 for not making a report to the authorities. 634 00:34:19,013 --> 00:34:21,333 [Sacks] And this infuriates Thomas 635 00:34:21,533 --> 00:34:23,863 who then goes into the room and slams the door behind him. 636 00:34:27,663 --> 00:34:29,753 [Newberg] At this point, Kelsey's boyfriend, Jon, 637 00:34:29,953 --> 00:34:31,523 starts to get involved in the argument. 638 00:34:32,693 --> 00:34:35,923 Diana tells police that Jon runs upstairs 639 00:34:36,123 --> 00:34:37,783 to where Thomas had closed the door 640 00:34:37,983 --> 00:34:39,073 and tried to lock himself in this room. 641 00:34:41,763 --> 00:34:43,503 And Diana says that Jon 642 00:34:43,703 --> 00:34:45,313 is armed with a baseball bat... 643 00:34:46,383 --> 00:34:47,863 ...and is trying to break down the door. 644 00:34:49,693 --> 00:34:52,933 Diana sees Jon go into the room with the baseball bat. 645 00:34:54,103 --> 00:34:55,613 Diana says that, at that point, 646 00:34:55,813 --> 00:34:57,753 Dr. Burchard was clearly injured, 647 00:34:57,953 --> 00:34:59,833 his eye sort of black and blue. 648 00:35:01,243 --> 00:35:04,923 [Newberg] There's a large bruise on Dr. Burchard's head, 649 00:35:05,123 --> 00:35:07,143 and that he's clearly disoriented. 650 00:35:07,833 --> 00:35:09,683 So, he starts to say that, 651 00:35:09,883 --> 00:35:11,043 like, "I need to go to the hospital." 652 00:35:16,243 --> 00:35:17,953 [Barghouty] Diana told investigators at this point 653 00:35:18,153 --> 00:35:20,813 that everybody agreed they were gonna go to the hospital 654 00:35:21,013 --> 00:35:23,313 so, Dr. Burchard gets into the car. 655 00:35:24,383 --> 00:35:26,333 [Newberg] He's still bleeding at this point, 656 00:35:26,533 --> 00:35:28,403 he saying he wants to go to the hospital, 657 00:35:28,603 --> 00:35:32,333 but he's telling Kelsey and Diana and Jon like, 658 00:35:32,533 --> 00:35:34,263 "Look, I can say that I was mugged 659 00:35:34,463 --> 00:35:36,063 so that you guys don't get in trouble. 660 00:35:36,263 --> 00:35:38,443 I can just say that I was mugged. It's fine." 661 00:35:38,633 --> 00:35:40,573 So, Diana at this point 662 00:35:40,773 --> 00:35:42,953 is thinking that she is going to drive him to the hospital. 663 00:35:43,153 --> 00:35:46,233 Kelsey and Jon end up going back inside the house. 664 00:35:46,433 --> 00:35:48,573 As Kelsey and Jon are inside the house, 665 00:35:48,773 --> 00:35:51,663 Diana said that she is talking to Thomas. 666 00:35:52,833 --> 00:35:54,753 At that time, Thomas tells Diana, 667 00:35:54,953 --> 00:35:57,853 "Look, I think that Kelsey's gonna kill me." 668 00:35:58,053 --> 00:36:01,193 Diana is scared because she doesn't know what's gonna happen to her 669 00:36:01,393 --> 00:36:04,163 after she just witnessed a traumatic event 670 00:36:04,363 --> 00:36:07,413 of this person being severely hurt or even killed. 671 00:36:09,763 --> 00:36:12,123 [Barghouty] Diana says at this point that Kelsey tells her 672 00:36:12,323 --> 00:36:13,813 they need to clean up the house first 673 00:36:14,013 --> 00:36:15,373 'cause it's in such bad shape. 674 00:36:15,573 --> 00:36:18,453 So, Diana goes back into the house and starts cleaning. 675 00:36:21,043 --> 00:36:22,903 [Sutton] So, Diana was inside the house... 676 00:36:24,283 --> 00:36:26,163 ...and she hears that 677 00:36:26,363 --> 00:36:28,883 the violence is continuing in the car. 678 00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:31,723 So, she goes down to try and quell that. 679 00:36:33,103 --> 00:36:35,443 [Kohlmeier] Diana overhears Kelsey say, 680 00:36:35,633 --> 00:36:37,783 "Hey, Thomas is a bitch, 681 00:36:37,983 --> 00:36:39,383 you need to knock him out." 682 00:36:41,523 --> 00:36:43,503 Diana tries to go back out to the garage 683 00:36:43,703 --> 00:36:45,403 to see what's happening. 684 00:36:45,603 --> 00:36:48,233 Kelsey meets her halfway and says, "It's too late." 685 00:36:48,433 --> 00:36:49,593 Jon comes out of the garage... 686 00:36:50,663 --> 00:36:52,503 ...there's blood all over his arms, 687 00:36:52,703 --> 00:36:54,793 all over his hands, there's some splatted on his face. 688 00:36:56,313 --> 00:36:57,623 And then Diana says... 689 00:36:59,073 --> 00:37:00,793 "...You guys have just ruined our lives." 690 00:37:08,933 --> 00:37:11,023 [Sacks] That night, Kelsey, Jon, and Diana 691 00:37:11,223 --> 00:37:13,953 decided that they had to leave the residence. 692 00:37:14,153 --> 00:37:16,443 So, the three of them left, and headed for the Rio Hotel 693 00:37:16,633 --> 00:37:18,123 where they spent the night. 694 00:37:18,323 --> 00:37:20,023 At one point, Diana says Jon leaves, 695 00:37:20,223 --> 00:37:22,543 and he says, "I need to get rid of Thomas's phone." 696 00:37:22,743 --> 00:37:25,813 They end up staying at the Rio for at least two days, 697 00:37:26,013 --> 00:37:28,923 and it's at this point that they start to get 698 00:37:29,123 --> 00:37:32,443 notifications on their phone that the body has been found. 699 00:37:32,633 --> 00:37:34,613 They're seeing news reports. 700 00:37:34,813 --> 00:37:37,783 [Sutton] The next day, Kennison and Kelsey 701 00:37:37,983 --> 00:37:40,403 grab Diana and say, "We gotta go right now, 702 00:37:40,603 --> 00:37:42,643 we gotta get out of this hotel." 703 00:37:42,843 --> 00:37:46,263 They all just leave without taking any of their stuff, 704 00:37:46,463 --> 00:37:48,173 and they get in a taxi, and they go. 705 00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:51,643 [Sutton] Over the next few days, 706 00:37:51,843 --> 00:37:54,123 they bounced around from small motels 707 00:37:54,323 --> 00:37:56,233 to friends' houses, 708 00:37:56,433 --> 00:37:59,023 and, eventually, a few days later, 709 00:37:59,223 --> 00:38:01,713 Kelsey got a ride out of town. 710 00:38:01,913 --> 00:38:04,543 [Kohlmeier] Las Vegas Metro Police received a tip 711 00:38:04,743 --> 00:38:09,103 stating that Kelsey Turner was in Stockton, California. 712 00:38:12,383 --> 00:38:14,753 The FBI goes out to Stockton, 713 00:38:14,953 --> 00:38:16,503 and they locate Kelsey Turner, 714 00:38:16,703 --> 00:38:18,243 and she was arrested 715 00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:21,243 for the murder of Thomas Burchard. 716 00:38:23,723 --> 00:38:25,193 A Playboymodel has been arrested 717 00:38:25,393 --> 00:38:27,163 in the case of a California psychiatrist 718 00:38:27,363 --> 00:38:29,303 who was murdered in Las Vegas earlier this month. 719 00:38:29,503 --> 00:38:31,613 Police arrested 25-year-old Kelsey Turner 720 00:38:31,813 --> 00:38:34,333 for the death of Dr. Thomas Burchard. 721 00:38:34,533 --> 00:38:36,023 [Sacks] When Kelsey's brought in, 722 00:38:36,223 --> 00:38:39,303 she points the finger at roommate, Diana Pena, 723 00:38:39,503 --> 00:38:42,193 and says that she and Jon had nothing to do 724 00:38:42,393 --> 00:38:45,163 with the murder of Thomas Burchard. 725 00:38:45,363 --> 00:38:49,163 Kelsey claimed Diana was just a snitch, 726 00:38:49,363 --> 00:38:51,443 and that she had everything to gain, 727 00:38:51,633 --> 00:38:53,333 and, uh, she was the one 728 00:38:53,533 --> 00:38:56,243 that committed this very violent crime... 729 00:38:57,663 --> 00:39:01,613 ...because Diana, basically, snapped when she learned 730 00:39:01,813 --> 00:39:04,023 that the doctor wasn't going to pay the rent anymore 731 00:39:04,223 --> 00:39:05,783 and that she couldn't deal with that, 732 00:39:05,983 --> 00:39:09,103 and that was her motivation for killing the doctor. 733 00:39:11,663 --> 00:39:13,503 [Newberg] So, Jon's arrested in April, 734 00:39:13,703 --> 00:39:16,193 and, at this point, all three of them are in custody. 735 00:39:16,393 --> 00:39:18,503 Jon's attorneys argue 736 00:39:18,703 --> 00:39:20,883 that even though Jon was the one 737 00:39:21,083 --> 00:39:23,163 who might have wielded the baseball bat, 738 00:39:23,363 --> 00:39:25,643 it was Kelsey's cries of bloodlust, 739 00:39:25,843 --> 00:39:29,543 and her anger at Thomas 740 00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:31,453 was the reason why he was killed. 741 00:39:36,313 --> 00:39:38,403 [Sacks] After Diana cooperated with the police, 742 00:39:38,603 --> 00:39:39,973 she worked out a plea deal. 743 00:39:41,283 --> 00:39:43,643 And the agreement was that she would plead guilty 744 00:39:43,843 --> 00:39:45,093 to accessory to murder, 745 00:39:45,293 --> 00:39:46,793 and she would receive probation. 746 00:39:48,143 --> 00:39:50,193 [Sutton] In June of 2022, 747 00:39:50,393 --> 00:39:53,783 Kennison plead guilty to second degree murder 748 00:39:53,983 --> 00:39:58,023 and conspiracy to commit murder with a sentence 749 00:39:58,223 --> 00:40:01,173 of 18 years to 45 years in a state prison. 750 00:40:05,763 --> 00:40:08,333 In November of 2022, 751 00:40:08,533 --> 00:40:10,833 Kelsey took a different kind of plea... 752 00:40:11,833 --> 00:40:13,683 ...called an Alford plea. 753 00:40:13,883 --> 00:40:15,403 It is, basically, 754 00:40:15,603 --> 00:40:19,093 "I'm not gonna say I did it and I'm guilty, 755 00:40:19,293 --> 00:40:23,333 but I will say that the state has enough evidence to convict me, 756 00:40:23,533 --> 00:40:25,243 and I know that I'm going to prison." 757 00:40:26,903 --> 00:40:29,263 Ms. Turner, in accordance to the laws of the state of Nevada, 758 00:40:29,463 --> 00:40:32,233 you hereby are judged guilty of second degree murder, a felony, 759 00:40:32,433 --> 00:40:34,813 you hereby are sentenced to 10 to 25 years 760 00:40:35,013 --> 00:40:37,023 in the Nevada Department of Corrections. 761 00:40:37,223 --> 00:40:38,093 [Kelsey] Thank you, your honor. 762 00:40:38,293 --> 00:40:39,093 [judge] This court's adjourned. 763 00:40:39,293 --> 00:40:40,283 [officer] Court is adjourned. 764 00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:46,333 [Sacks] In the end, Judy Earp, 765 00:40:46,533 --> 00:40:48,683 who had warned Thomas for so long, 766 00:40:48,883 --> 00:40:51,233 found some type of dark validation 767 00:40:51,433 --> 00:40:53,833 with the sentences of Kelsey and Jon. 768 00:40:55,003 --> 00:40:56,613 [Sutton] This was a crime of passion. 769 00:40:56,813 --> 00:40:59,993 The people who did it were absolutely morally bankrupt. 770 00:41:00,193 --> 00:41:03,123
