I entered the bedroom. 54 00:02:38,626 --> 00:02:41,128 Right away, we were able to observe 55 00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:43,731 a .45 caliber ammo casing... 56 00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:49,770 ...and two deceased individuals, one male, one female, 57 00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:53,374 each with an apparent gunshot wound to the head, 58 00:02:53,474 --> 00:02:54,875 between a bed and a dresser. 59 00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:57,245 And an illustration 60 00:02:57,345 --> 00:02:59,947 that likely was drafted by the kids. 61 00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:04,418 MARTINEZ: My name is Mary's Martinez. 62 00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:05,953 I've worked as a crime scene investigator 63 00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:07,888 in 63 homicides. 64 00:03:07,988 --> 00:03:11,559 Crime scene has a lot of working backwards. 65 00:03:11,659 --> 00:03:13,594 We see the crime scene, we figure out 66 00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:15,228 what details are there and then 67 00:03:15,329 --> 00:03:17,531 what missing parts are there to try to figure out 68 00:03:17,631 --> 00:03:20,468 exactly what happened, but also why it happened. 69 00:03:21,269 --> 00:03:23,237 HURTADO: My name is Bertha Hurtado. 70 00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:24,605 I went to school for 71 00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:26,907 forensic anthropology. 72 00:03:27,007 --> 00:03:28,208 And now I work for 73 00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:29,310 the Davie police department 74 00:03:29,410 --> 00:03:31,545 as a crime scene investigator. 75 00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:35,883 When you're looking at two individuals-- 76 00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:38,018 a man and a woman-- then you start theorizing, 77 00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,621 could this have been a crime of passion? 78 00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:42,523 What happened in the relationship? 79 00:03:42,623 --> 00:03:44,258 Did one want to leave the other? 80 00:03:44,358 --> 00:03:45,893 Was somebody having an affair? 81 00:03:45,993 --> 00:03:48,262 WEINER: Through the identification 82 00:03:48,362 --> 00:03:49,697 that we recovered from the bedrooms, 83 00:03:49,797 --> 00:03:51,432 the female was identified as 84 00:03:51,531 --> 00:03:53,601 26-year-old Tara Rosado 85 00:03:53,701 --> 00:03:56,603 and 30-year-old Carlos Ortiz. 86 00:03:57,371 --> 00:03:59,039 It did appear, from the disarray 87 00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:00,874 of the room, that there might have been some kind 88 00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:02,209 of physical altercation. 89 00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:04,445 Clothing on the floor, dresser was in disarray. 90 00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:05,879 There was stuff all over. 91 00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:07,815 The rest of the house was in fairly good order. 92 00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,518 MARTINEZ: With two gunshots to the head, 93 00:04:10,618 --> 00:04:13,621 no forced entry, and a disheveled bedroom, 94 00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:15,589 the first theory that comes to mind is... 95 00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:20,793 ...possibly one of the parties became irrational, shoots, 96 00:04:20,894 --> 00:04:23,897 and then has this moment of clarity. 97 00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:25,499 "I can't believe I just did this," 98 00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:27,000 or "This is my only way out." 99 00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,703 And then turns the gun on themself. 100 00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,609 DAVID GOODHUE: I've been covering the Keys 101 00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:38,178 as a reporter now for about 18 years. 102 00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:42,950 When I arrived, there were tons of police cars-- marked, 103 00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,452 unmarked. 104 00:04:44,552 --> 00:04:46,887 Police in uniform, police in plain clothes, 105 00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:49,590 crime scene technicians in scrubs, 106 00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:52,225 neighbors milling about, really wondering what happened. 107 00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:56,229 Given the prevalence of drug use and alcohol abuse in the Keys, 108 00:04:56,330 --> 00:05:00,968 murder-suicide is one crime that we have our share of. 109 00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:04,338 HURTADO: If this case were to be a murder-suicide, 110 00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:05,839 the main element would be, 111 00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:07,608 "Where's the gun?" 112 00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:11,078 WEINER: There was no firearm visibly seen. 113 00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:12,746 At first, we thought 114 00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:14,515 possibly that there might have been a gun 115 00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:15,716 under one of the bodies or some of the clothes. 116 00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:18,752 After I did a walk-through, 117 00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:20,854 we have the medical examiner come in. 118 00:05:20,954 --> 00:05:25,192 Eventually, he agrees the bodies are able to be moved. 119 00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:27,528 HURTADO: However, once the bodies 120 00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:29,763 were removed, there was no gun. 121 00:05:29,863 --> 00:05:31,098 The gun wasn't found on scene. 122 00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:33,000 MARTINEZ: That tells me that there was 123 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:34,001 someone else in the room. 124 00:05:34,101 --> 00:05:37,004 (gunshots) 125 00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:40,240 MARTINEZ: And that's when 126 00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:41,742 the hunt for the killer began. 127 00:05:42,543 --> 00:05:44,645 WEINER: Wasn't until we started to move things 128 00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,480 and found the other casing that was under 129 00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:48,081 a bunch of clothing that was on the floor. 130 00:05:49,282 --> 00:05:50,451 MARTINEZ: Both casings were 131 00:05:50,551 --> 00:05:51,685 .45 caliber. 132 00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:53,754 They were also able to confirm 133 00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:56,857 that both casings were fired from the same firearm 134 00:05:56,957 --> 00:06:00,428 because of the markings on the casings. 135 00:06:00,528 --> 00:06:02,596 Once you fire the casing, 136 00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:05,198 it will leave that imprint of the rifling 137 00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:06,834 from the inside of the bore. 138 00:06:06,934 --> 00:06:09,403 We like to call it "the fingerprint of the gun," 139 00:06:09,503 --> 00:06:10,638 because every gun has 140 00:06:10,738 --> 00:06:12,706 its own pattern. 141 00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,208 So that helps us in the sense of there being one firearm. 142 00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,710 It doesn't necessarily 143 00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:19,079 confirm that it's only one shooter. 144 00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:21,549 WEINER: We were also able to identify 145 00:06:21,649 --> 00:06:24,084 a Asus Zenfone. 146 00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:29,723 But what was interesting-- there was 147 00:06:29,823 --> 00:06:31,425 an Apple-manufactured charger that was plugged in 148 00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:34,127 without a phone attached to it. 149 00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:37,531 And the investigators could not find an Apple phone 150 00:06:37,631 --> 00:06:40,033 or any form of Apple device. 151 00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:43,604 The question became, where is the iPhone? 152 00:06:43,704 --> 00:06:47,274 That is a key piece of evidence that could 153 00:06:47,374 --> 00:06:48,942 provide you with the answers. 154 00:06:50,711 --> 00:06:53,246 MARTINEZ: The lead detectives realized 155 00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:56,049 that the neighbor, and 911 caller, has 156 00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:58,151 surveillance outside of his home 157 00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:00,187 that could have recorded the night of the incident. 158 00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:01,889 WEINER: But, unfortunately, some of the footage 159 00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:03,891 was missing from the night before, 160 00:07:03,991 --> 00:07:06,359 when we believe the homicides occurred. 161 00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:08,261 His claim was that 162 00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:10,798 he wanted to continue to keep storage on a DVD. 163 00:07:10,898 --> 00:07:13,433 MARTINEZ: However, what often occurs is that 164 00:07:13,534 --> 00:07:14,968 the general public, such as myself, 165 00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:16,670 will delete something and think 166 00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:19,707 that it actually is deleted, when, in fact, 167 00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:22,810 it's saved on the internal memory of that device. 168 00:07:23,611 --> 00:07:25,112 WEINER: We understood the FBI 169 00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:27,748 had an opportunity to maybe help us out with this, so, 170 00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:29,983 the DVD was turned over to the FBI for them to try 171 00:07:30,082 --> 00:07:32,452 to refurbish the deleted data. 172 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,923 Once we identified who was deceased at the scene, 173 00:07:36,023 --> 00:07:39,593 we started to do some inquiries as to their past. 174 00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:45,332 MARTINEZ: Carlos was of the area. 175 00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:48,401 He was currently working at a barbershop. 176 00:07:48,502 --> 00:07:50,403 WEINER: Carlos was 177 00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:51,605 incarcerated for a period of time 178 00:07:51,705 --> 00:07:53,440 for the use of narcotics. 179 00:07:53,541 --> 00:07:55,576 But he did have a desire to really want to make right 180 00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,678 and be good, you know, settle down. 181 00:07:57,778 --> 00:07:59,680 MARTINEZ: He had this American dream. 182 00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:01,615 He wanted to become an entrepreneur 183 00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:03,851 and have his own tattoo shop. 184 00:08:04,752 --> 00:08:08,155 Carlos recently moved in with Tara, and from what 185 00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:11,058 investigators know, he had been helping out with her kids. 186 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:20,332 KATELYN FARLEY: She could never say my name right as a kid. 187 00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:23,571 She couldn't make the "K" sounds, so, 188 00:08:23,671 --> 00:08:25,172 she called me Lynney. 189 00:08:25,272 --> 00:08:27,875 (laughs) Yeah. 190 00:08:27,975 --> 00:08:29,710 Yeah. 191 00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:35,048 I wear it for her. 192 00:08:35,816 --> 00:08:38,018 She's the only one who ever called me Lynney. 193 00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:46,093 The first 24 or 48 hours, um... 194 00:08:47,595 --> 00:08:49,529 ...are such a blur. 195 00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:51,331 I just remember feeling... 196 00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:54,568 ...weight. 197 00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:59,339 Just a lot of very sudden weight. 198 00:09:01,642 --> 00:09:03,877 I can't. 199 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:11,384 There are three girls in my family. 200 00:09:11,484 --> 00:09:12,986 I am the oldest, 201 00:09:13,086 --> 00:09:16,690 Tara was the middle child and Carrie was the baby. 202 00:09:17,524 --> 00:09:19,993 We did everything

00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:30,442 Jeremy Macauley came across a floating bale which contained 565 00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:32,011 12 or more kilos of cocaine. 566 00:28:32,111 --> 00:28:34,546 That's an estimated value of maybe about 567 00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:35,882 a half million dollars or so. 568 00:28:35,982 --> 00:28:38,484 That was huge. 569 00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:41,320 I knew that that was crucial information about Jeremy. 570 00:28:43,655 --> 00:28:46,292 SANCHEZ: Most people refer to any type of big drugs 571 00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:48,094 that were found on the water 572 00:28:48,194 --> 00:28:49,595 as a square grouper. 573 00:28:49,695 --> 00:28:51,030 GOODHUE: That phrase is used because groupers 574 00:28:51,130 --> 00:28:53,132 are very popular fish to catch in the Keys. 575 00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:56,769 They can tend to be on the large, bulky side, 576 00:28:56,869 --> 00:29:00,773 resembling a large package of drugs. 577 00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:04,576 SANCHEZ: Sometimes we may have a couple in a week, 578 00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:06,278 and sometimes we won't have any 579 00:29:06,378 --> 00:29:09,181 for maybe two months, but it is 580 00:29:09,281 --> 00:29:11,083 still out there. 581 00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:14,053 You know, for a guy that's probably a mate on a boat, 582 00:29:14,153 --> 00:29:17,857 somebody that, you know, works hard for their money, and 583 00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:19,525 to see a bale of cocaine 584 00:29:19,625 --> 00:29:21,493 come across and realize 585 00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:23,830 you know, there's almost half a million dollars, 586 00:29:23,930 --> 00:29:26,866 I imagine there's a temptation there. 587 00:29:26,966 --> 00:29:30,136 GOODHUE: Police found out that he was a small-town drug dealer. 588 00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:31,403 He had an existing network 589 00:29:31,503 --> 00:29:32,872 of people that he could use 590 00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:34,941 to help him sell the cocaine locally. 591 00:29:35,041 --> 00:29:36,909 And they broke down the drugs and they sold it. 592 00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:40,479 I think they kind of felt like they won the lottery. 593 00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:47,453 MARTINEZ: Steele ultimately stated 594 00:29:47,553 --> 00:29:49,922 that Jeremy enlists Carlos 595 00:29:50,022 --> 00:29:52,892 to sell the cocaine, and in turn 596 00:29:52,992 --> 00:29:54,460 he agrees to finance 597 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,596 Carlos's dream of owning the tattoo shop. 598 00:30:06,072 --> 00:30:07,306 Unfortunately, 599 00:30:07,406 --> 00:30:09,741 we learned Carlos 600 00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:13,579 started using the cocaine instead of selling it. 601 00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:25,057 That didn't fly with Jeremy at all. 602 00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:29,962 In retaliation, he ends up closing the tattoo shop, 603 00:30:30,062 --> 00:30:32,098 crushing Carlos's dream. 604 00:30:32,198 --> 00:30:34,733 WEINER: Looking back at some of the texts, Carlos is now 605 00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:37,469 basically telling Jeremy that, "I'm gonna tell on you 606 00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:40,372 "using that video as evidence if you don't 607 00:30:40,472 --> 00:30:41,874 give me what I want." 608 00:30:41,974 --> 00:30:43,775 MARTINEZ: That's when Jeremy shares a picture 609 00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:45,677 of the money as saying, "I'm gonna provide you 610 00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:47,079 "whatever it is that you're asking for 611 00:30:47,179 --> 00:30:49,248 so that you don't get me in trouble in return." 612 00:30:49,348 --> 00:30:52,118 It was very important to receive those text messages. 613 00:30:52,218 --> 00:30:56,455 One, because of the insight of a possible motive. Nobody wants 614 00:30:56,555 --> 00:30:57,957 someone to be extorting you for money. 615 00:30:58,057 --> 00:31:00,826 And also, the time stamps were very close 616 00:31:00,927 --> 00:31:03,362 to what they considered the time of death. 617 00:31:03,462 --> 00:31:04,830 He was going to be meeting up 618 00:31:04,931 --> 00:31:07,133 with Carlos at any given point. 619 00:31:07,233 --> 00:31:09,168 WEINER: Did he actually show up? Was it him? 620 00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:10,736 Did he send somebody else? 621 00:31:10,836 --> 00:31:12,671 So, these are all things that I need to 622 00:31:12,771 --> 00:31:14,673 try to verify through other evidence. 623 00:31:19,912 --> 00:31:22,481 FARLEY: Every time you thought... 624 00:31:23,282 --> 00:31:24,383 ...you knew everything, 625 00:31:24,483 --> 00:31:26,185 the rabbit hole just went deeper. 626 00:31:26,285 --> 00:31:28,087 I didn't know Carlos. 627 00:31:28,187 --> 00:31:30,556 And while I'm horrified 628 00:31:30,656 --> 00:31:33,125 at some of the choices that he made 629 00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:35,694 that led to this happening, 630 00:31:35,794 --> 00:31:39,331 it is difficult for me to demonize him, 631 00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:42,601 because I know what drugs can do to a person. 632 00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:45,804 You know, you're a stranger to yourself. 633 00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:49,275 And I don't think anything that happened 634 00:31:49,375 --> 00:31:52,311 is as a result of who he was as a human being. 635 00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,082 It's just amazing how fast it all happened. 636 00:31:56,182 --> 00:31:57,916 It didn't make sense. 637 00:31:58,784 --> 00:32:00,686 None of it makes any sense. 638 00:32:05,557 --> 00:32:06,959 MARTINEZ: It was about two months 639 00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:08,527 after the double homicide where the FBI 640 00:32:08,627 --> 00:32:10,096 was finally able to 641 00:32:10,196 --> 00:32:12,231 retrieve the neighbor's 642 00:32:12,331 --> 00:32:13,699 surveillance footage that showed 643 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,135 exactly what happened that night. 644 00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,170 WEINER: All right, I'm taking a look 645 00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,206 at the surveillance footage 646 00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:22,574 that was taken from the neighbor 647 00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:27,079 and subsequently later reformatted by the Bureau 648 00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:28,747 after it was deleted. 649 00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:35,487 And right at ten, 22:30:11, 650 00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,823 we have the vehicle enter into frame. 651 00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:39,191 MARTINEZ: The quality of the video 652 00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:42,061 may not necessarily be the best. 653 00:32:42,161 --> 00:32:45,164 It's a bit grainy and it is dark outside, 654 00:32:45,264 --> 00:32:46,732 so the lighting is poor, 655 00:32:46,832 --> 00:32:48,700 but it is visible. 656 00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:52,038 Right around 10:30 p.m., on the camera, you see 657 00:32:52,138 --> 00:32:55,307 a dark SUV pull up in front of the house, 658 00:32:55,407 --> 00:32:57,109 at which point a male, 659 00:32:57,209 --> 00:32:59,345 from the passenger side, exits the vehicle, 660 00:32:59,445 --> 00:33:01,913 has a bit of a conversation with Carlos. 661 00:33:02,014 --> 00:33:03,649 It is unknown what was said, 662 00:33:03,749 --> 00:33:05,917 but then they walk into the home together. 663 00:33:06,018 --> 00:33:08,187 With a time stamp about four minutes later, 664 00:33:08,287 --> 00:33:11,190 the passenger walks out of the home 665 00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,524 and gets into the vehicle. 666 00:33:12,624 --> 00:33:14,626 The vehicle starts to pull away. 667 00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:18,130 WEINER: Through the surveillance footage that corroborates 668 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:20,366 the text message that there is a person 669 00:33:20,466 --> 00:33:21,800 that arrives in a vehicle, 670 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:23,302 gets out of the vehicle, and goes into the house. 671 00:33:23,402 --> 00:33:25,771 We also learn that there is a driver 672 00:33:25,871 --> 00:33:28,474 and a possible accomplice to this. 673 00:33:29,241 --> 00:33:30,476 Now the detectives have 674 00:33:30,576 --> 00:33:31,810 the murder weapon... 675 00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:34,613 ...cell phone data... 676 00:33:35,581 --> 00:33:36,782 ...surveillance video. 677 00:33:36,882 --> 00:33:38,484 What they need to do at this point 678 00:33:38,584 --> 00:33:40,686 is linking Jeremy Macauley... 679 00:33:41,653 --> 00:33:43,489 ...to the scene of the crime... 680 00:33:44,890 --> 00:33:46,158 ...pulling the trigger. 681 00:33:56,102 --> 00:33:57,836 * * 682 00:33:58,804 --> 00:34:00,239 HURTADO: Now the detectives have 683 00:34:00,339 --> 00:34:02,241 a better understanding 684 00:34:02,341 --> 00:34:04,210 of what could have happened the night of the murder. 685 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:06,145 Extortion. 686 00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:09,114 Drugs. 687 00:34:10,181 --> 00:34:11,650 Threats. 688 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:16,688 All of those elements can lead someone to feel cornered. 689 00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:19,358 That is a motive for murder. 690 00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:21,159 Now we just had to prove it. 691 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,530 Through the surveillance footage, we were able, 692 00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:26,264 through the lines of the car, 693 00:34:26,364 --> 00:34:30,536 to determine that it was a 2013 Toyota RAV4. 694 00:34:30,636 --> 00:34:31,902 We have certain 695 00:34:32,003 --> 00:34:35,040 indices that we can run cars through 696 00:34:35,141 --> 00:34:36,842 to try to identify who in the county 697 00:34:36,942 --> 00:34:39,645 may have been traveling in this vehicle. 698 00:34:39,745 --> 00:34:41,147 And we were able to determine 699 00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,415 that there was an individual that was a local 700 00:34:43,514 --> 00:34:44,716 that actually owned a vehicle 701 00:34:44,815 --> 00:34:45,984 similar to what we saw in the video. 702 00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,487 We identified her as Suhai Montenegro, 703 00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:49,920 otherwise known as Susie. 704 00:34:50,956 --> 00:34:53,024 Eventually, we were able 705 00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:54,592 to set up an interview with Susie 706 00:34:54,693 --> 00:34:56,161 along with her attorney. 707 00:35:00,532 --> 00:35:02,000 She was able to establish 708 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,669 that she'd loaned the vehicle out 709 00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:05,737 the evening of that homicide... 710 00:35:10,008 --> 00:35:12,911 ...to a friend, Adrian Demblans, and he had 711 00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:15,814 someone with him by the name of Jeremy Macauley. 712 00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:23,855 WEINER: Bingo. Our theory is coming to fruition. 713 00:35:27,693 --> 00:35:30,962 HURTADO: Jeremy and Adrian-- they are, at this point, 714 00:35:31,062 --> 00:35:33,865 the prime suspects on this case. 715 00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,435 Adrian is also a fisherman 716 00:35:36,535 --> 00:35:39,004 who is either helping Jeremy 717 00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:41,340 or also in the business with Jeremy, 718 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,409 or maybe just a friend of Jeremy's. 719 00:35:43,509 --> 00:35:46,578 But he is present with Jeremy the night of the murder. 720 00:35:46,678 --> 00:35:50,616 WEINER: We learned through other witnesses that Adrian was also 721 00:35:50,716 --> 00:35:52,751 possibly involved in trying to 722 00:35:52,851 --> 00:35:55,387 sell drugs for Jeremy, specifically 723 00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,789 the same drugs that were located offshore. 724 00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:59,691 GOODHUE: Things start going wrong 725 00:35:59,791 --> 00:36:00,859 when greed comes into play. 726 00:36:00,959 --> 00:36:02,528 Carlos wanted more money 727 00:36:02,628 --> 00:36:04,095 and he made the fatal mistake 728 00:36:04,196 --> 00:36:06,064 that people make in organized crime: 729 00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:07,833 he told his partner he was gonna go to the police 730 00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:09,335 if he didn't get what he wanted. 731 00:36:10,135 --> 00:36:12,471 HURTADO: Now the detectives have the murder weapon 732 00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:15,040 and the cell phone and everything else, 733 00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:18,444 including surveillance video 734 00:36:18,544 --> 00:36:20,178 and cell phone data. 735 00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:24,383 So now they have enough probable cause to arrest 736 00:36:24,483 --> 00:36:27,185 Jeremy and Adrian. 737 00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:39,565 In March 2016, 738 00:36:39,665 --> 00:36:40,899 police arrested both 739 00:36:40,999 --> 00:36:42,301 Adrian Demblans 740 00:36:42,401 --> 00:36:43,569 and Jeremy Macauley. 741 00:36:43,669 --> 00:36:45,904 Jeremy was charged with first-degree murder 742 00:36:46,004 --> 00:36:47,539 and armed robbery. 743 00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,074 Adrian was charged 744 00:36:49,174 --> 00:36:52,043 with accessory after the fact of a felony. 745 00:36:52,143 --> 00:36:53,845 One of the things that 746 00:36:53,945 --> 00:36:57,048 we knew we were gonna have to try to prove 747 00:36:57,148 --> 00:36:58,584 was the fact that Jeremy was 748 00:36:58,684 --> 00:37:00,118 in possession of that firearm 749 00:37:00,218 --> 00:37:02,220 during the time these homicides were committed. 750 00:37:02,321 --> 00:37:03,789 Or at least put him in possession 751 00:37:03,889 --> 00:37:05,791 of that firearm at all. 752 00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:08,427 Shortly after the arrests, 753 00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:09,928 other witnesses started to come forward. 754 00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:11,897 One witness provided us with information 755 00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:14,232 that Jeremy Macauley was trying to sell 756 00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:18,604 that firearm literally weeks prior to the homicide. 757 00:37:18,704 --> 00:37:20,105 MARTINEZ: Jeremy actually shares 758 00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:22,341 photos of the firearm with a gentleman. 759 00:37:22,441 --> 00:37:25,411 The photograph has the serial number of the firearm. 760 00:37:25,511 --> 00:37:28,614 That serial number is then matched 761 00:37:28,714 --> 00:37:30,449 with the firearm that was collected 762 00:37:30,549 --> 00:37:33,985 from the canal, which also had a positive match 763 00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:35,954 on the casings that were test-fired. 764 00:37:36,054 --> 00:37:38,256 Literally, the gun is being shown and photographed 765 00:37:38,357 --> 00:37:40,125 with the gun in the palm of Macauley's hand. 766 00:37:40,225 --> 00:37:41,993 There's no way that he could say he didn't have that gun 767 00:37:42,093 --> 00:37:43,795 in his possession at one time or another. 768 00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:45,564 That was icing on the cake. 769 00:37:46,432 --> 00:37:48,867 And so I was completely confident that we had 770 00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:50,268 the right individuals responsible 771 00:37:50,369 --> 00:37:52,037 for the death of Carlos and Tara. 772 00:37:53,439 --> 00:37:57,509 The night of October 15, 2015, we believed 773 00:37:57,609 --> 00:38:00,912 that Jeremy and Adrian borrowed a 2013 RAV4. 774 00:38:01,012 --> 00:38:03,281 They drive from Key Largo to Tavernier. 775 00:38:03,382 --> 00:38:05,116 They arrive at the house around 10:30. 776 00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:06,452 Adrian stays in the vehicle. 777 00:38:06,552 --> 00:38:08,787 Jeremy gets out, greets Carlos, 778 00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:10,088 follows Carlos into the house. 779 00:38:10,188 --> 00:38:12,524 Both Tara and Carlos are shot 780 00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:14,092 one time, each in the head. 781 00:38:14,192 --> 00:38:15,661 Jeremy takes Carlos's phone, 782 00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:16,762 gets back into the vehicle. 783 00:38:16,862 --> 00:38:18,029 They drive to the canal, 784 00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,531 Where they discard the gun 785 00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:20,932 on one side of the canal 786 00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:22,801 and the phone on the other. 787 00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:30,642 GOODHUE: I covered the trial for the Miami Herald 788 00:38:30,742 --> 00:38:32,210 pretty much gavel-to-gavel. 789 00:38:33,044 --> 00:38:34,346 Jeremy and Adrian were both 790 00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:36,415 scheduled to stand trial together. 791 00:38:36,515 --> 00:38:39,751 Adrian ended up rolling over on Jeremy 792 00:38:39,851 --> 00:38:41,086 and pleading guilty 793 00:38:41,186 --> 00:38:42,454 to accessory after the fact 794 00:38:42,554 --> 00:38:45,056 in order to receive ten years flat. 795 00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:47,225 This way, he didn't risk having to go to prison 796 00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:50,362 for the rest of his life if he was found guilty in trial. 797 00:38:50,462 --> 00:38:51,697 That was huge. 798 00:38:51,797 --> 00:38:53,599 Adrian's testimony, basically, 799 00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:56,502 is corroborating the entire story that we knew it. 800 00:38:57,636 --> 00:39:01,206 The forensic information that was acquired, 801 00:39:01,306 --> 00:39:02,641 through testing and just 802 00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:04,342 all the tools that we have available, 803 00:39:04,443 --> 00:39:05,477 made the case. 804 00:39:05,577 --> 00:39:07,746 That's what helped tie everything together. 805 00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:10,549 HURTADO: On December 19 of 2017, 806 00:39:10,649 --> 00:39:12,350 a judge sentenced Jeremy Macauley 807 00:39:12,451 --> 00:39:14,986 to two consecutive life terms in prison. 808 00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:17,423 As well as an additional 30 years in prison 809 00:39:17,523 --> 00:39:19,691 for armed robbery, because they were able to tie 810 00:39:19,791 --> 00:39:23,294 the phone they found in the canal to Carlos Ortiz. 811 00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:33,204 HURTADO: You're so invested in the case, 812 00:39:33,304 --> 00:39:37,175 and once the team solves the case, 813 00:39:37,275 --> 00:39:41,212 it's a sense that there's a reason why you're doing this. 814 00:39:41,312 --> 00:39:43,314 It kind of allows you to understand 815 00:39:43,415 --> 00:39:47,185 that the path that you've taken is where you need to be. 816 00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:51,189 WEINER: Tara, unfortunately, was a victim of circumstance. 817 00:39:51,289 --> 00:39:54,660 There's no true win in this situation, 818 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,027 other than the fact that 819 00:39:56,127 --> 00:39:58,296 we at least provided the family 820 00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,566 some sort of justice-- whatever that might be-- 821 00:40:00,666 --> 00:40:02,333 that we're holding the people accountable 822 00:40:02,434 --> 00:40:04,369 for doing what they did to their daughter. 823 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,808 FARLEY: Um, I-I don't think I'll ever 824 00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:12,678 really understand, completely, 825 00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:16,114 what the circumstances were 'cause I can't ask her. 826 00:40:18,016 --> 00:40:21,052 * It's hard to let somebody in * 827 00:40:21,152 --> 00:40:25,691 * But you've come so far * 828 00:40:26,458 --> 00:40:29,795 * But right now you are safe 829 00:40:29,895 --> 00:40:31,830 * So don't you... * 830 00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:35,601 FARLEY: I feel like it's important to make sure people know Tara 831 00:40:35,701 --> 00:40:37,435 as she actually was. 832 00:40:37,536 --> 00:40:39,905 Anyone who got to see one of those times 833 00:40:40,005 --> 00:40:43,341 that she found her spark... 834 00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:47,312 ...and stood up for herself... 835 00:40:47,412 --> 00:40:50,415 It was just really something else. 836 00:40:51,216 --> 00:40:52,584 She was a little clown. 837 00:40:52,684 --> 00:40:54,019 She-she was always happy 838 00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:56,555 to be in the center ring of the circus. 839 00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:58,156 (laughs) 840 00:40:58,256 --> 00:41:00,125 She was so funny. 841 00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:02,694 She was so funny. 842 00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:07,499 All of her best qualities shined through her kids. 843 00:41:11,102 --> 00:41:14,139 Watching them get through this 844 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,509 and watching them thrive, um... 845 00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:21,547 ...I think that helps more than anything. 846 00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:25,416 And, um, she would be so proud of them. 847 00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:29,555 Every time something great happens, 848 00:41:29,655 --> 00:41:32,457 she's still the first person I want to call. 849 00:41:33,559 --> 00:41:36,327 I can't even delete her number from my phone. 850 00:41:37,663 --> 00:41:40,098 I'm not sure that ever goes away. 851 00:41:42,033 --> 00:41:44,269 * * 852 00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:58,049 * But right now, you are safe * 853 00:41:58,149 --> 00:42:02,788 * So don't you be afraid * 854 00:42:02,888 --> 00:42:05,957 * Whatever it may take * 855 00:42:06,057 --> 00:42:08,059 * I'll keep you safe * 856 00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:09,460 * I'll keep you safe. * 857 00:42:11,462 --> 00:42:13,098 * I'll keep you safe. * 858 00:42:13,198 --> 00:42:15,901 Captioning sponsored by CBS 859 00:42:16,001 --> 00:42:17,202 Captioned by Media Access
