1
00:00:07,633 --> 00:00:11,303
I had just
graduated in May.
2
00:00:11,303 --> 00:00:17,935
And I was thinking, what job
should I start looking for?
3
00:00:17,935 --> 00:00:20,229
Where should I start
looking for work?
4
00:00:20,229 --> 00:00:23,273
Should I start thinking
about graduate school?
5
00:00:23,273 --> 00:00:26,902
And I was ready
to make these plans.
6
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:30,113
But I also knew that
the police wanted
7
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:33,158
to come after me for murder.
8
00:00:33,158 --> 00:00:36,078
The grand jury
indicted Kaitlyn Conley
9
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:38,789
on a charge of murder
in the second degree.
10
00:00:38,789 --> 00:00:41,166
It was--you know,
it's a very serious charge.
11
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:42,793
You can't get much more
serious than murder
12
00:00:42,793 --> 00:00:44,628
in the second degree.
13
00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:50,425
My attorney, Chris,
called me on June 13th
14
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,803
and said that
you have 30 minutes
15
00:00:52,803 --> 00:00:55,514
to get to the police station.
16
00:00:55,514 --> 00:00:57,808
The first time I think
the two of us realized,
17
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:00,602
wow, uh, this is
a murder indictment.
18
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:02,020
This is real.
19
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:05,857
So it was a time
for confession.
20
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:11,446
I said, Katie,
what's going on?
21
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:13,407
Did you kill Mary Yoder?
22
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,160
Quiet.
23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,371
Too quiet.
24
00:01:19,371 --> 00:01:24,084
And she says, Mom, Dad,
you know me.
25
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,629
All I want--
26
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:30,716
a little house, a husband.
27
00:01:30,716 --> 00:01:31,883
Get married and children.
28
00:01:31,883 --> 00:01:34,136
Get married
and one or two kids.
29
00:01:34,136 --> 00:01:40,100
So why would I jeopardize that
when that's all I want?
30
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,351
I was targeted.
31
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:44,271
And I was a scapegoat
in all this.
32
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:47,566
And they took me down.
33
00:01:53,113 --> 00:02:00,120
♪ ♪
34
00:02:19,765 --> 00:02:23,560
♪ ♪
35
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:45,457
After I was indicted,
I was out on bail.
36
00:02:45,457 --> 00:02:47,376
And then they put me
under house arrest.
37
00:02:47,376 --> 00:02:50,420
So I couldn't leave my house.
38
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,257
They so strongly and firmly
believed that I'm guilty.
39
00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:57,594
And I'd like to know
why they think that.
40
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:06,561
We were convinced that
we had the right person.
41
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:09,856
But you still have to put
the physical evidence
42
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,733
to that person.
43
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,653
So the colchicine bottle
became the most vital piece
44
00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:16,988
of information
we had at the time.
45
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:18,740
It became clear
that that colchicine
46
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:20,492
was ordered out of California.
47
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:25,163
I randomly
receive a phone call
48
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:29,167
from a detective from Utica.
49
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,670
I started thinking like,
you know, what happened?
50
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:34,756
What's going on?
What did I do wrong?
51
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:37,551
He wanted to ask me
a few questions
52
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:39,845
about a product that I sold.
53
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:41,930
They told me
that the colchicine
54
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:44,683
was being investigated
in a murder case.
55
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:46,268
I'm like, WTF?
56
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:48,311
Like, what's going on here?
57
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:50,313
There was leads
out there that we believed
58
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:53,483
we could dig deeper into
by traveling to California.
59
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:55,735
So myself
and another investigator
60
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:59,114
made the trip out there
to speak with Rosa Vargas.
61
00:03:59,114 --> 00:04:03,118
I told the detective
about the email listed
62
00:04:03,118 --> 00:04:05,495
on the order that was placed,
63
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:10,292
which is
mradamyoder1990@gmail.com.
64
00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:15,714
When we sat with Rosa
and started going over
65
00:04:15,714 --> 00:04:17,841
the emails back
and forth of this,
66
00:04:17,841 --> 00:04:20,093
I couldn't believe, you know,
what she was telling me.
67
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:25,432
I tried reaching
Adam Yoder,
68
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:31,062
but the person I spoke to,
uh, that answered the call, uh,
69
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:36,276
she seemed to be a young female
with a very soft voice.
70
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,571
I knew 110% who the girl was
that Rosa was referring to--
71
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:42,991
a soft-spoken female voice
at the other end of the line.
72
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:45,035
It was Katie Conley.
73
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:49,790
She was really polite,
was really nice.
74
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:54,336
She knew exactly what
I was referring to.
75
00:04:54,336 --> 00:04:57,297
I can't explain it in details,
but it's the sense
76
00:04:57,297 --> 00:05:00,884
that you get that she was
a bit nervous
77
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:05,889
and trying
to end the call fast.
78
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:18,109
I have never spoken
to Rosa Vargas.
79
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:23,532
And I would bet the key
to the front gate
80
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:27,244
that Rosa Vargas never
called the office.
81
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:31,748
They never got phone records
for the office
82
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:33,834
where allegedly she called.
83
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:35,627
So you could have
verified this.
84
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:38,672
We could have known for sure.
85
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:39,965
But they didn't.
86
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:44,553
The important thing about
87
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:48,390
the Mr. Adam Yoder
Gmail account is,
88
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:52,102
one of the times
when information was sent
89
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:55,647
to a chemical company,
90
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:59,067
it was logged into from
Kaitlyn Conley's residence
91
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:02,112
and from
Kaitlyn Conley's iPhone.
92
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:08,660
Digital forensics,
they don't lie.
93
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:11,788
So here is someone
in Katie's house--
94
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,624
Katie--ordering colchicine.
95
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,920
She did it.

Pretty sure I'm not lying

During the months
before the trial,
102
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:51,536
we just wanted
to focus on the case
103
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:54,247
and focus on getting
the evidence in there
104
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:57,959
and hope that it was enough
to get a conviction.
105

I mean, we talked

people who knew her
from school.
107
00:07:01,463 --> 00:07:03,256
I mean, there was just--
we started to learn
108
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:04,883
there's another side
to Kaitlyn Conley.
109
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,022
Okay, thank you.
110
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:15,829
No, I didn't really
date other people.
111
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,831
I wasn't big

No. No.
113
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:35,765
I--even my other relationships,
114
00:08:35,765 --> 00:08:41,646
I didn't have dramatic
or contentious breakups.
115
00:08:41,646 --> 00:08:45,316
You know, I'm a pretty relaxed
kind of person, I think.

When Katie was indicted,
117

at first, me and my sister were
just kind of in disbelief.

00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,200
Like, how could Katie
have done this?
119
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,953
Katie, really?
Like, this is crazy.
120
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:59,622
And--and then Adam
was just kind of like,
121
00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:03,084
well, you guys don't really
know the real Katie.
122
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:05,420
We found out that Katie had
123
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:09,924
filed a police report a year
prior to my mom passing.
124
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:14,512
Now, at the time, technically,
they apparently were broken up,
125
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:17,015
but in that contained an
allegation
126
00:09:17,015 --> 00:09:19,184
that my brother
had sexually assaulted her.
127
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,688
This was a surprise
to all of us.
128
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,859
That's when we were also
told that my brother
129
00:09:27,859 --> 00:09:29,319
had received a phone call
130
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:31,738
that she made
from the police station.
131
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:06,397
When that phone call
was over,
132
00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:07,941
Katie had indicated that
133
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,859
she didn't want
any criminal action taken.
134
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:13,863
The sheriff's
office asked
135
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:17,158
if anything on
any of the devices
136
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:19,035
supported this allegation.
137
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:23,623
Kaitlyn Conley provides
to the sheriff's office
138
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,834
printed pictures of injuries
139
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:28,169
that she sustained
during this attack.
140
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:34,884
I was able to find those
pictures on her cell phone.
141
00:10:36,928 --> 00:10:39,848
The problem is they were taken,
in some cases,
142
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:43,852
years prior to the date
of the alleged sexual assault.
143
00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:52,235
And they appear to be taken
in relationship to an accident
144
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:54,487
she had while horseback riding.
145
00:10:58,074 --> 00:10:59,993
I do not believe--
146
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:01,369
and there is not one
shred of evidence
147
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:04,497
other than her word, which,
to me, is worth nothing--
148
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:09,752
that he sexually--
ever sexually assaulted her.
149
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:11,796
And it was just insane to us.
150
00:11:11,796 --> 00:11:14,924
Like, you're trying to, like,
make up this rape allegation,
151
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:17,719
get him arrested, but you
went out in the parking lot
152
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:20,054
and immediately asked him
to get together.
153
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:26,728
She was the one
that continuously
154
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:29,314
reached out to him,
texted him.
155
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,194
She clearly had him fooled
and manipulated
156
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:40,867
and so many crazy red flags
that he didn't know.
157
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:42,285
Of course.
158
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:45,496
Young--young and in love.
159
00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:53,004
Months before
Mary's murder, they break up.
160
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:56,883
Adam's completely
done with her.
161
00:11:56,883 --> 00:11:59,969
And she understands it
this time.
162
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,055
He makes it very clear to her.
163
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:07,352
We've all had breakups.
164
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:08,811
You break up
with your boyfriend,
165
00:12:08,811 --> 00:12:11,439
you cry, you go out,
166
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,524
you talk to your friends.
167
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:18,988
How could their
young relationship
168
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:23,076
have turned into something
so incredibly ugly
169
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:27,455
where she then
went after my mom?
170
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:30,833
Was my mom just
collateral damage?
171
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:33,294
Was there not even
a point to it
172
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:36,089
other than,
let me try to get at Adam?
173
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:42,720
It was a big
news story around here.
174
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,722
A lot of people--
a lot of people talk.
175
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:49,268
A lot of people say innocent,
but a lot of people say guilty.
176
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:50,895
It's kind of 50/50.
177
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:55,024
But I believe that police
have done a fantastic job.
178
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:59,153
I think--I think she's guilty.
179
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:01,948
I'm still in disbelief.
180
00:13:01,948 --> 00:13:05,702
I don't wanna believe it,
you know.
181
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:08,371
Hopefully they
prove her innocence.
182
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:11,290
Guilty or not guilty,
anything can happen
183
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:13,084
because you never know what a--
184
00:13:13,084 --> 00:13:16,129
you never know what a jury
is gonna see or not see.
185
00:13:19,882 --> 00:13:22,510
The trial of a receptionist
186
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:25,388
who is charged
with poisoning her boss.
187
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:27,807
And lo and behold,
she was in a relationship
188
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:30,727
with that boss's son, Adam.
189
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:34,105
Prosecutors also say
that she was framing Adam
190
00:13:34,105 --> 00:13:37,066
for the murder of his mom.
191
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,109
Are you with me?
192
00:13:38,109 --> 00:13:40,862
Because there's a lot.
193
00:13:40,862 --> 00:13:45,116
I wanted a stand
for our family.
194
00:13:45,116 --> 00:13:50,580
I wanted Katie
to see us all there.
195
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:52,790
And we were gonna
hopefully get justice.
196
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:58,046
I wasn't too worried.
197
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,673
I was like, okay,
it's finally here.
198
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,759
It's happening.
Now we can resolve it.
199
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:09,724
♪ ♪
200
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:13,269
I found out there was
gonna be a murder trial
201
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:19,025
right before I found out that I
had gotten pulled for the jury.
202
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,693
And I think that's when
I started to panic.
203
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:24,113
Like, oh, my God, how am I
gonna get through this?
204
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:25,782
But I knew it was my duty,
205
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:27,658
and I just have
to figure it out,
206
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:30,787
and I'll get through it.
207
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:33,081
There was one juror that, uh,
208
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:34,999
kind of stood out
from the very beginning.
209
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,503
He made himself known
when they were picking jurors.
210
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:40,797
I had never been a juror,
mostly because
211
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:44,967
I was in the military so long,
and I wasn't around.
212
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:48,971
I told them I could convict
my daughter if she was guilty.
213
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:51,724
And at that point,
the prosecutor wanted me.
214
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:56,813
The defense strategy
was to point the finger
215
00:14:56,813 --> 00:15:00,733
at Bill Yoder because Bill
Yoder was now in a relationship
216
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,694
with his dead wife's sister.
217
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:06,697
You will find motive
through the testimony
218
00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:08,908
on the part of William Yoder.
219
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:20,044
Do you remember the first time
that you had sexual relations
220
00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:21,504
with Kathy Richmond?
221
00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:23,965
I don't remember
the date, no.
222
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:25,800
I wasn't keeping a journal.
223
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:52,702
Everything that
the investigation can show
224
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:54,745
supports that as being true.
225
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:59,083
And some of it could be proven
through the communications
226
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:01,836
between the two.
227
00:16:01,836 --> 00:16:04,130
There was a text
message after Mary's death
228
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:06,174
where Bill was
going to see Kathy.
229
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,426
He had to text her and find out
how to get to her house.
230
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:10,303
So wait a minute, you're
telling me he had an affair
231
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:12,096
and was going to her house
and having an affair,
232
00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:13,723
but the guy's gotta text her
and find out
233
00:16:13,723 --> 00:16:15,057
how to get to her residence.
234
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,185
This affair didn't start
before Mary's death.
235
00:16:19,187 --> 00:16:22,106
They looked into
everything surrounding him.
236
00:16:22,106 --> 00:16:24,901
He was not involved.
237
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:28,905
He was not involved
in any aspect of it.
238
00:16:31,741 --> 00:16:35,077
It was, oh, gosh,
very, very hard
239
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:38,831
because I never get over
the guilt of wondering
240
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:39,999
if he had done it.
241
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:45,504
Just--I can't even
put it into words.
242
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:49,258
My dad was going through
the emotional hell
243
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:52,678
of having his character
attacked and assassinated
244
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:53,721
the entire time.
245
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:19,247
My mom
had a happy marriage,
246
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:22,917
but the life she lived
247
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:27,171
got taken away from her
by lie after lie.
248
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,632
It got taken away
in the courtroom.
249
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:31,926
It got taken away
on social media.
250
00:17:31,926 --> 00:17:35,012
It got taken away
in the years of people
251
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:37,306
ripping apart her life.
252
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:43,437
It was a lot that
you had to think about.
253
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:45,231
You had to pay attention.
254
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:49,485
I did notice, uh, Katie's dad
always looking over.
255
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:51,320
I felt like he was looking
at me all the time.
256
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,531
And I couldn't understand,
why wasn't he looking
257
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:55,324
at the rest of the jurors?
258
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:57,326
But then it dawned on me
that this Pat guy was
259
00:17:57,326 --> 00:17:58,869
sitting right in front of me.
260
00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:02,290
So he was looking
at Pat all the time.
261
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:06,544
I didn't quite understand
why that was going on.
262
00:18:15,678 --> 00:18:17,346
We believed
the colchicine bottle
263
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:19,890
contained the murder weapon,
obviously.
264
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:23,311
So the colchicine bottle
was tested for DNA.
265
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:45,249
Her DNA is on
the colchicine bottle.
266
00:18:45,249 --> 00:18:46,542
Why?
267
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,919
I felt bad, but it was like,
she did it.
268
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:50,504
All the evidence
pointed towards her.
269
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:52,131
There was nothing else
brought in,
270
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,925
no one else that it really fit.
271
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:57,678
Um, I--I just knew she did it.
272
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:03,017
The trial closes,
273
00:19:03,017 --> 00:19:04,935
and now it's
in the jury's hands.
274
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:08,773
Now we have deliberations.
275
00:19:10,566 --> 00:19:12,568
She wrote
that anonymous letter.
276
00:19:12,568 --> 00:19:14,612
She purchased the colchicine.
277
00:19:14,612 --> 00:19:16,405
Her DNA was on the bottle.
278
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:18,199
Her DNA was on the envelope.
279
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:22,036
And we had connected her phone
to the Gmail account.
280
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,954
So I felt pretty good
about the case.
281
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,626
And then we get the call.
282
00:19:28,626 --> 00:19:30,628
They have a decision.
283
00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:37,051
It was a day that we had been
waiting for and hopeful for.
284
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:41,222
Eager eyes watched
as the jury of 12
285
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:43,349
spent several hours
deliberating the fate
286
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:45,434
of the 24-year-old
Sauquoit woman
287
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:48,020
accused of poisoning
Whitesboro chiropractor
288
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:50,898
Mary Yoder to death
back in 2015.
289
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:56,654
But what happens?
290
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:13,003
It comes back
10 to 2, not guilty.
291
00:20:13,003 --> 00:20:14,755
A hung jury.
292
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:16,340
Katie gets to walk.
293
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:23,848
The murder trial of
the 24-year-old Sauquoit woman
294
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,058
accused of poisoning
her boss to death
295
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:28,144
has been declared a mistrial.
296
00:20:28,144 --> 00:20:29,812
It's not the verdict
that we wanted
297
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:33,899
because we wanted a total
exoneration for our daughter.
298
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:36,569
We know she's
completely innocent.
299
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:39,989
And the whole family
feels that way.
300
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:41,699
- We love you.
- Yes.
301
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:44,785
And a mother knows.
302
00:20:44,785 --> 00:20:46,662
And a mother knows her child.
303
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:52,877
We were two people away
from an outright acquittal,
304
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:56,464
which would have
finished the process.
305
00:20:56,464 --> 00:20:57,673
It did.
306
00:20:57,673 --> 00:20:59,258
It felt like a weight
off my shoulders.
307
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:02,344
I said, okay,
people believe me.
308
00:21:06,223 --> 00:21:08,893
I think we just went numb
309
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:14,565
because it was the only way
to, um...
310
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,275
kind of stand up
and walk out of there
311
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,235
was to just to be numb.
312
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:21,906
Well, absolutely,
I was upset.
313
00:21:21,906 --> 00:21:23,616
I mean, here you
spend all this time,
314
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,367
and now they come back
as a hung jury
315
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:27,369
after you spent, you know,
how many hours of your life
316
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:28,662
on this case?
317
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:29,914
And what are they
listening to here?
318
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:32,041
What--what happened here?
319
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:37,421
There was no evidence to
prove what the prosecution
320
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:39,381
said they thought happened.
321
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,008
This was just a theory.
322
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:44,220
And it started out when
we went in, it was 50/50.
323
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:48,057
Within an hour of us talking,
it was ten people innocent,
324
00:21:48,057 --> 00:21:50,142
two people guilty.
325
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:51,560
Pat was doing
a really good job.
326
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,021
He had all, like,
the smokers on his team.
327
00:21:54,021 --> 00:21:56,565
He seemed to know what
he was thinking and doing.
328
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:59,235
So they're like, yeah, sure,
let's--let's go along with Pat.
329
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:00,611
Yep.
330
00:22:00,611 --> 00:22:02,696
One of the jurors said,
someone's gotta pay,
331
00:22:02,696 --> 00:22:04,448
might as well be her.
332
00:22:04,448 --> 00:22:07,284
And I literally
lost it over that.
333
00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:11,830
I ripped the shades right down
in the room yelling
334
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,416
because I didn't
wanna be violent.
335
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:18,420
But it was someone's life,
someone's life on the line.
336
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,048
I was really surprised
that this Pat person
337
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:24,969
had gone up and shaken the hand
of Kaitlyn Conley's father.
338
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:30,349
He shook his hand right
outside the courtroom hall.
339
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:32,393
So that was very surprising.
340
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:41,235
I rented at
their trailer park.
341
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:43,070
Yeah, I did.
342
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,238
I rented from--
343
00:22:44,238 --> 00:22:46,198
I rented from Vin Conley.
344
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:48,659
But I said, Vin,
if I thought she was guilty,
345
00:22:48,659 --> 00:22:51,287
I would have voted guilty.
346
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:54,123
But I don't--in my heart,
I don't think she did it.
347
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:02,548
I thought maybe
for some of the jurors,
348
00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:06,385
that they might just see this
pretty 21-year-old girl
349
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:10,264
sitting there demurely,
looking like she was, you know,
350
00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:13,475
just this sweet young girl.
351
00:23:13,475 --> 00:23:16,437
And they might not
wanna convict her.
352
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:19,565
There's nothing I can do
to get over that.
353
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:21,400
The defendant is
who the defendant is,
354
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,902
and it's not gonna change.
355
00:23:25,863 --> 00:23:27,990
To face that we were going
356
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:31,035
to have to do it again was--
it just seemed, um,
357
00:23:31,035 --> 00:23:33,746
like, pretty impossible
at that point.
358
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:38,250
But we all--we wanted justice,
so it was, okay, well,
359
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,085
we're gonna do it again because
360
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:42,588
she needs to pay
for what she did.
361
00:23:47,051 --> 00:23:48,469
The prosecution said
that they were going
362
00:23:48,469 --> 00:23:52,389
to try me again in six months.
363
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:54,683
I was still
under house arrest.
364
00:23:57,144 --> 00:24:01,065
I'm like, we have to
do this all over again?
365
00:24:01,065 --> 00:24:02,816
We just did it.
366
00:24:02,816 --> 00:24:05,569
You couldn't
convince your jury.
367
00:24:05,569 --> 00:24:09,365
You couldn't
convince ten people.
368
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:11,325
Why do we have to do it again?
369
00:24:13,494 --> 00:24:16,288
In a lot of murder cases
I've handled,
370
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,624
the decision to kill
is made like that.
371
00:24:18,624 --> 00:24:21,543
Premeditation is
all over this case.
372
00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:25,381
Advanced planning--
cold, calculated planning.
373
00:24:25,381 --> 00:24:27,424
We can't just let her
walk out the door.
374
00:24:30,219 --> 00:24:32,471
In the second trial,
we realized that
375
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:35,432
we had to change things up
in terms of our strategy
376
00:24:35,432 --> 00:24:37,851
to digitally prove
what had happened
377
00:24:37,851 --> 00:24:39,478
and why all of those
digital roads
378
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:43,524
led directly back
to Kaitlyn Conley.
379
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:46,944
Now, with the gift of time,
we can go back.
380
00:24:49,405 --> 00:24:52,741
And the game changer comes
381
00:24:52,741 --> 00:24:56,495
when I'm re-examining
Adam Yoder's laptop.
382
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:05,713
On that laptop were numerous
backups of cell phones.
383
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:13,595
And about the third file
we examined, we realized,
384
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:15,848
this is not Adam's phone.
385
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:17,683
This is Kaitlyn's phone.
386
00:25:19,768 --> 00:25:22,187
So this backup that Adam did
387
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:25,357
would be a snapshot of what
existed on the phone
388
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,359
about two months
after the killing,
389
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,821
but long before police
entered the case.
390
00:25:32,656 --> 00:25:34,241
I knew it instantly.
391
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:37,494
This is the holy grail.
392
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:41,373
So many notes
had been deleted by her
393
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,542
in the intervening months.
394
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:47,588
And the one that
jumps out first
395
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:52,926
is a note about the
mradamyoder1990 Gmail account.
396
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:55,471
It says, "Aisgay."
397
00:25:55,471 --> 00:25:57,014
That could also be shorthand--
398
00:25:57,014 --> 00:25:58,932
"Adamisgay."
399
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:01,310
Immediately, I'm looking
at it and saying,
400
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:03,520
that's the password.
401
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,606
And it was.
402
00:26:09,026 --> 00:26:13,030
If I'm a scorned woman
and Adam broke up with me,
403
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:15,491
and I'm gonna kill his mom,
404
00:26:15,491 --> 00:26:17,910
am I gonna play a little game
with myself
405
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:20,829
and choose "Adamisgay"
as a password?
406
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:24,041
You bet your ass I am.
407
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:29,379
I have never, ever in my life
used gay as a slur.
408
00:26:29,379 --> 00:26:33,550
That doesn't fit in with me.
409
00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:36,804
But do I believe that
that's his password?
410
00:26:36,804 --> 00:26:38,430
Yes, I do.
411
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:42,267
Adam lived with a bunch of boys
412
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:45,521
who would use that as a slur,
um.
413
00:26:45,521 --> 00:26:49,441
So yeah,
that sounds about right.
414
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:50,442
I believe that.
415
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:58,492
Kaitlyn Conley deleted
6,000 images off her phone.
416
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:00,077
No one does that.
417
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:06,041
In the group of images
that were deleted
418
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:09,920
are dozens and dozens
of screenshots from websites
419
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,296
talking about poisons.
420
00:27:12,923 --> 00:27:15,801
Throughout the fall of 2014,
421
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:20,055
she had looked at cyanide,
poison mushrooms, thallium,
422
00:27:20,055 --> 00:27:22,266
and arrived ultimately
at colchicine
423
00:27:22,266 --> 00:27:25,018
towards the end of December.
424
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:30,315
First thing was like,
smack right in the face.
425
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:33,861
She takes Mary Yoder's
body weight
426
00:27:33,861 --> 00:27:36,738
and then fills out the formula
427
00:27:36,738 --> 00:27:39,950
for how much colchicine
would be necessary
428
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:40,993
to kill Mary Yoder.
429
00:27:57,593 --> 00:27:58,844
I don't know.
430
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:00,262
That doesn't mean
anything to me.
431
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:08,896
I don't have a reason
to search lethal poisons.
432
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:13,692
I'm really--like, I don't
even put out, you know,
433
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:15,360
poison for the mice
in the barn.
434
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,154
I just--I can't. I can't.
435
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:18,864
That's not who I am.
436
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:22,784
The research,
I think, brought things
437
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:24,703
to a different level
because it showed
438
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:30,000
a level of callousness,
of planning, of deviousness,
439
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,210
and, really, coldness.
440
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,964
But that is kind of typical
441
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:39,301
for the behavior
of Kaitlyn Conley.
442
00:28:39,301 --> 00:28:42,638
This woman is a sociopath.
443
00:28:42,638 --> 00:28:48,685
She has actually disconnected
the reality of her actions
444
00:28:48,685 --> 00:28:53,732
and the possible consequences
of those from the moment.
445
00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:01,114
I wasn't too worried
about going to jail
446
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:03,742
for the rest of my life.
447
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:06,787
Because I was--
448
00:29:06,787 --> 00:29:08,205
I was pretty present.
449
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:09,873
I was in the moment.
450
00:29:09,873 --> 00:29:14,503
And I was just enjoying
the time with my family.
451
00:29:14,503 --> 00:29:19,007
It felt like, okay, well,
let's--let's just keep going.
452
00:29:19,007 --> 00:29:21,218
I've come this far.
I can keep going.
453
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:32,437
I honestly did not know
how I mentally was,
454
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:36,316
or emotionally was, gonna
make it through a second trial.
455
00:29:37,901 --> 00:29:39,987
24-year-old
Kaitlyn Conley is now
456
00:29:39,987 --> 00:29:41,446
starting with a fresh slate.
457
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,782
Conley's defense attorney,
Frank Policelli,
458
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:46,326
argues it's not Conley
who killed Yoder,
459
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:48,662
but rather her son,
Conley's ex-boyfriend
460
00:29:48,662 --> 00:29:50,872
and the person he says
set Conley up
461
00:29:50,872 --> 00:29:53,041
for the murder of his mother.
462
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:56,253
The first trial,
they point a finger at Bill.
463
00:29:56,253 --> 00:30:00,215
The second trial,
uh-oh, Adam did it now.
464
00:30:00,215 --> 00:30:02,384
We're gonna use that tact.
465
00:30:02,384 --> 00:30:04,845
So they say, well, but
all these electronic devices
466
00:30:04,845 --> 00:30:05,971
come back to Katie.
467
00:30:05,971 --> 00:30:07,639
Yeah, right.
468
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:10,183
Ladies and gentlemen,
it was Adam.
469
00:30:10,183 --> 00:30:11,727
It was Adam.
470
00:30:14,354 --> 00:30:17,899
With her interviews
with the police and her,
471
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:20,610
everything she said
was pointing towards Adam.
472
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:24,031
And the letter that she sent
was saying that Adam did it.
473
00:30:24,031 --> 00:30:27,117
So I think, you know,
her new defense lawyer thought,
474
00:30:27,117 --> 00:30:29,286
well, duh,
you told the police this.
475
00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:31,830
We have to, like, try and point
the finger at Adam
476
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:34,541
to make that make sense, so.
477
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:38,628
Now another member
of the family
478
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:41,173
was under direct attack.
479
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:44,259
His character, everything was
being attacked and questioned
480
00:30:44,259 --> 00:30:46,261
and dragged through the mud.
481
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,265
Good morning.
482
00:30:50,265 --> 00:30:54,186
The defense was able
to cross-examine Adam
483
00:30:54,186 --> 00:30:58,899
and accuse him in open court
of raping Kaitlyn Conley.
484
00:30:58,899 --> 00:31:01,109
Let's talk about
this controlled call
485
00:31:01,109 --> 00:31:04,196
that police make to Adam
for this alleged rape.
486
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:06,448
The only problem
with the controlled call is,
487
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:08,075
Adam doesn't admit it.
488
00:31:08,075 --> 00:31:09,451
I was in shock.
489
00:31:09,451 --> 00:31:11,161
I didn't know how to react.
490
00:31:11,161 --> 00:31:12,954
And I was panicking.
491
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:17,626
And ultimately, I had drank
enough to black out that night,
492
00:31:17,626 --> 00:31:19,753
so I couldn't defend myself.
493
00:31:19,753 --> 00:31:21,671
I didn't have a version
of the story.
494
00:31:23,507 --> 00:31:25,383
The defense revolved,
really,
495
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:27,094
around the relationship
with Adam.
496
00:31:27,094 --> 00:31:31,723
But the prosecution turned
the arguments between them
497
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:34,226
from being a negative
to the prosecution
498
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:36,561
to becoming a positive
for the prosecution.
499
00:31:36,561 --> 00:31:40,398
Showing this long-term discord
500
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:45,028
between Adam and Kaitlyn
501
00:31:45,028 --> 00:31:47,030
really created motive.
502
00:31:47,030 --> 00:31:50,408
We presented the motive that
Katie had become
503
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:52,661
increasingly vengeful
towards Adam
504
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:56,623
over the weeks and months
leading up to Mary's death.
505
00:31:56,623 --> 00:32:00,418
The toxic relationship
between Katie and Adam,
506
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:03,046
Adam is done with it.
507
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:04,548
What does Katie do?
508
00:32:04,548 --> 00:32:08,844
Well, I'm gonna take away
from Adam the thing
509
00:32:08,844 --> 00:32:12,722
that I know he loves
more than anything.
510
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:14,266
And that's his mother.
511
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:18,937
This was very,
very calculated,
512
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,647
very, very planned out.
513
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:22,149
There's no doubt about that.
514
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:24,985
Mary Yoder is definitely
as innocent of a victim
515
00:32:24,985 --> 00:32:26,153
as you can get.
516
00:32:28,238 --> 00:32:29,489
The day Mary died,
517
00:32:29,489 --> 00:32:31,032
Kaitlyn Conley is
in the office.
518
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:32,576
Now she's got opportunity.
519
00:32:32,576 --> 00:32:34,286
She's got the time,
and she's got the opportunity.
520
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,580
And the substance itself
is so innocuous.
521
00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:39,708
It looks like a little bit
of white powder.
522
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:43,587
And what does it really take
but a pinch of that powder
523
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:46,047
to quickly put it

No.
526
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:13,783
No, she--I didn't
see her have a shake
527
00:33:13,783 --> 00:33:15,493
that day at the office, no.
528
00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:18,371
I didn't see her
eat anything at the office.
529
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,959
On top of that,
if that weren't enough,
530
00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:25,420
she then tried
to pin it on him,
531
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:28,632
frame Adam for the death
of his own mother.
532
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,929
She set everything up
under Adam's name.
533
00:33:33,929 --> 00:33:36,890
She sent the letter
saying Adam did it.
534
00:33:36,890 --> 00:33:40,352
It just was such pure evil.
535
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:42,062
That's all we could--
536
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:45,273
she just--Katie had to be
pure evil.
537
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:51,029
When Mary dies,
Katie is there at the hospital
538
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:52,322
with the family.
539
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:54,407
I mean,
that's how close she was.
540
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:56,993
And you know, she got to see
her handiwork firsthand.
541
00:33:56,993 --> 00:33:59,996
Katie was right there
every step of the way.
542
00:34:03,959 --> 00:34:05,877
Oh, God, it makes me so angry.
543
00:34:08,964 --> 00:34:13,134
The idea that
you would get back
544
00:34:13,134 --> 00:34:16,096
at your ex-boyfriend
545
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:20,475
by killing his mother
546
00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:21,935
didn't make sense to me.
547
00:34:21,935 --> 00:34:28,483
It was the most
ludicrous theory
548
00:34:28,483 --> 00:34:30,277
that they could have
come up with.
549
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:35,740
Yeah, the jury went out
550
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,368
for deliberation again at
the end of the second trial.
551
00:34:38,368 --> 00:34:39,953
And it was--
552
00:34:39,953 --> 00:34:43,081
I mean, gosh, it was almost
like flashing back
553
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:46,835
to the first trial,
just that waiting and waiting.
554
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:50,505
And then, at one point,
they also sent a message
555
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:52,507
and said that they
did not know if they were
556
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:54,551
gonna be able to reach
a unanimous verdict.
557
00:34:54,551 --> 00:34:59,472
And it was like,
this isn't looking good.
558
00:34:59,472 --> 00:35:01,933
I was very concerned
that, oh, my God,
559
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:03,435
we're gonna have to do this
a third time,
560
00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:05,770
and we don't really
have anything more
561
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:07,480
to put into this case.
562
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,692
This was a scenario
that frightened us,
563
00:35:10,692 --> 00:35:14,237
that if reasonable jurors
go back and they deliberate,
564
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:16,406
and they say, you know,
she looked up
565
00:35:16,406 --> 00:35:18,533
the lethal doses
of colchicine.
566
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:20,577
She wanted to see how much
she could administer
567
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:24,748
that was sublethal that would
only make somebody sick.
568
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:27,042
Maybe some
of the jurors thought,
569
00:35:27,042 --> 00:35:29,753
we don't think that
her intent was to kill,
570
00:35:29,753 --> 00:35:31,296
and so that's not murder.
571
00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:33,423
That's something else.
572
00:35:33,423 --> 00:35:37,052
So as a result of that,
we asked for the lesser
573
00:35:37,052 --> 00:35:39,721
included offense
of manslaughter.
574
00:35:39,721 --> 00:35:43,767
And the judge sent them back
with the murder charge
575
00:35:43,767 --> 00:35:46,644
and the manslaughter charge
so that if they didn't convict
576
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:50,315
of murder, then they could
go on and consider manslaughter
577
00:35:50,315 --> 00:35:51,650
in the first degree as well.
578
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:57,572
So when Dwyer granted that
lesser included request,
579
00:35:57,572 --> 00:36:02,494
I said, well,
now it's not yes or no.
580
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:05,914
It's murder,
manslaughter, or no.
581
00:36:05,914 --> 00:36:08,249
So you've just given them
two opportunities,
582
