Was he murdered just because who he was?

He never pretended to be anyone that he .

People don't want to get card cheating. How do you know he .

That's the point of the story where the wheel falls, the cradle train .

automate trail nine .

times out of ten der person to kill you love you at some point .

a killer who betrays not just one lover, but two. I'm letter hold. And this is deadline.

Here's denis Murphy with dangerous secret.

The ohio river valley, for decades here, generations of men have gone underground. And in places like the ohio population, four thousand is still a way of life. Is IT as tough as most people think a coal miner.

It's not very by super physical, demanding former mine forman franco, paco, you're almost two thousand of you underground. One way out, the gases will kill you with an equipment or work ill you. The coal following will kill you.

It's an unforgiving environment. But with risk comes reward, in this case of big payday for some up to six figures Loring men like brad margery to down a hard head and take their chances underground. The forty three year old had risen through the ranks to become a format a bit remarkable because brad margery was not your father's coal inter friend melanie rotch.

He was openly gay, never tried to conceal IT right? correct? Was comfortable in the skin. Yes, he was being bad.

Yes, he was real. He never pretended to be anyone that he wasn't.

But brad was also a person with a secret. As a secret, as we all know, can be dangerous.

Nine one one where your merge. Oh my god.

A late sunday afternoon and in may two thousand seventeen, on with nine one one, a distorted Sherry kini go along with her husband David and thirteen year old daughter Elizabeth have just walked into an offer .

scene we kind of at my husband's friend in the back door was cracked open. He was a little. We came.

In this space, okay, my. okay. I think so is on the world everywhere. What is CD margry?

I was on just general patrol, drive them through the town when I got the call.

Veteran bela, patrolman hank Martin was the first to respond, and encountered a couple of the Young teenager outside bram house.

highly upset, crying, shaking up what you would Normally expect of somebody finding a dead body.

Officer Martin entered the basement to secure the scene. On the floor sandwich between a covered hot tub and piles of storage was bread, with an apparent gunshot wounds to the head.

I seen blood by his head area, and he was lying down and touched, didn't get any kind of.

polls.

Understandable because the kini family and bread, or as closest could be David and bread, met several years earlier in coal mining training classes.

We just took him in his family and out him. We celebrate holidays. We have a big kingson in all this.

Ryan, all our chief detective with the belmont county shares office, arrived on the scene to assist the Bella pd.

They were very close.

best friends, best friends. Now, meanwhile, what's happened to the daughter? SHE saw the body. There was no question. yes.

So you get her out of there, I guess. Yes, we want to traumatized.

warn you. Had been the .

girl was taken to a neighbors as police got the story from the couple.

Are you coming here? That right here, and we is the whole plan. Okay, bring the way, dear. David told .

police they'd stopped by the land bread, a wee deader.

I decided the kitchen was scattered with my wife. Wrong everywhere. He said, just open the door.

David. yo. But got no .

response to in any you call nine one one and I really down.

That basement was now a possible crime scene.

Tell me what you seen, what we have a great slice basement, and it's what I call organized clutter. There's a lot of stuff, but it's stack packed in containers .

and one on clutch, but no signs of a struggle.

If you just look at a dead body in a basement with the head wound, you definite got, look at, say, could have been a suicide.

I think at one time he was that I think was me.

But if brad shot himself, something was missing.

If I was a suicide, they gonna have to be in the immediate area. And we didn't see IT. I didn't see a gone. Now it's not saying .

he couldn't have times. It's a suicide. Well.

have been a weapon. Talk to us. But investigators .

roll brad's .

body over.

We didn't find anything. There was no gun there. So we had to go to step two, which was that I was a.

you need to come with neighbor. Od, correct. See if any doorbell camp caught an image or something.

These are so helpful right now, everybody seems to get one. But at this time period, that was kind of a novelty.

Only one house on bridge's block had security cameras and stroke of luck. That house happened to belong to the bear chief of police. What are the odds that he would live on the street? They have a camera that was Operational.

Sometimes things work out.

The chief security video would be scrutiny for clues. Back at the house, officers were done talking to brad shell shock friends.

You guys go home, rest, we will be in touch in a day or two. I shock his hand and you come up, pull me in to the truck window there and look me right. The eyes said, brave is my best friend in the whole world. Please find out who did this to win.

Please figure this out. Yeah, that's exactly what the detective intended to do. But he had no idea the secret he'd uncover along the way.

Coiner brad margry had been shot to death inside his billion ohio home. The news blindly ted friends like mEllenda rusk, so certain social locking.

yes. And so senseless.

What is the town booze?

When brag had killed the town last security, they didn't feel safe any longer. And those who knew bread personally, they lost at your friend.

You're never going to see him again, just like that.

So and a heart, we were devastated.

Marik milica and our daughter abby thought of bread as family. How do you find out .

I was at school? I was my senior year, and my mom came to school. I got called down to the office.

So I went down there. I was like, k, what's up? And my mom, like uncle brad, instead. And I fell to the floor. I was a mess just soaring uncontrollably, and my mom had to take me home for the rest of the day.

After a late night processing the scene, police were back on the case early the next morning, you got to get brides back story. And here pretty quickly. Yes.

we did a lot interviews in a short period time. There has many people that knew bread because is very important for us to get dow. Brad.

I have new bread from this twenty years.

Mary k. Was one of the friends who spoke to police, if you were to walk in the door here, what would we make?

He is larger than life. He absolutely had the best personality, and he was friendly. Just wanted to have a good time.

Make you laugh.

All definitely make you laugh. What are the crazy things we ever did? We were at walmart and we were just given off.

And he was looking at fish, and he wanted to ask some questions about the fish. We couldn't find anybody to help. So he just got on the enter room and he was yelling for help himself over here on three.

Yeah.

somebody helpme at the fishes, please.

Marik and abby met bread before he became a cold matter. Back then, he was a professional hair dresser. The switch had been a head snap and career change.

I couldn't write my head around the best to.

why do you think you made the change?

The money? He was looking to make more money, and he just wasn't making the kind of money he .

wanted doing here to abbi. Bread was more than just an uncle figure. He was a role model.

I was about fifteen, sixteen years old. And one day I just had an urge to tell him, I said a little, and I said, I am gay, yeah. And he said.

how swing with that girl? And IT was bad, abby turned to when he was bullied in high school. Would you get out .

of uncle bread and say, i'm having a really bad hate, like what do I do? And he would just tell me water of ducks back, baby girl you know um you shine like a light in the darkness and don't let that crown fall because sorry, it's such .

as we thought, yeah it's something not to be writing by your bedside I .

think about that message all at times because that's really what pulled me out of the darkness. That's really what I was like, okay, I do matter. I need to beat myself.

Who would murder a friend like that? Police wondered if brad's killing was a random attack. There were no signs of a struggle in the basement.

but upstairs was a different story, all the capitals and jaws are up.

and their stuff 和 things scattered everywhere， especially in the kitchen.

Had brad interrupted a burglary in progress and paid with his life, his best friend data had shared this bit of information.

I know he had guys here just last day, in the last week, put in the fence.

I said, do you know if he paid on by cash check? I think maybe cash and bread head cash around the house. And that drew up a bit of a red flag.

Investigators were also pursuing another line of inquiry.

We definitely had to look at this is A A potito hate crime. Was this the reason that he was murdered just because who he was?

Friend and former mine, former in franco o paco, says that IT worked bread did not hide this orientation. In fact, he embraced IT. He just didn't dress like the typical common, you know, all of us did.

No, he took pride to high, looked how he smelled. And I present himself. Brad always were a safety gear, but breda was made a point to make sure his shirt was always on button.

Three or four button down, show his chest, show his gold chains. Spray is colon. He would joke around.

Let you know if you thought you're good looking to comment you maybe how you looked in certain peria genes, that or whatever. Now brad was dead, a bullet to the brain. Maybe not everybody found his joke so funny. Time to find out what was going on underground.

He was having a hard, hard at work. Anybody in 2的？

Speaking to investigators, red meggy's friends were at a loss.

What would be so bad?

Acted, shooting over. Did that make any sense to you? Did not.

Exactly who would.

Police continued to .

press those close to bread for clues when the newborn was a friend who'd met bread years earlier at a wedding.

which your relationship to brand.

we were just best friend. Brad IT seemed, had a lot of best friend. This best friend talked to police about one theory. They were already considering his murder as a hate crime.

He was work .

Wendy with two.

Children in tow said, initially, brad had no problems underground. A lot sociate settle situated in the coworker franco patch. O agreed, never did I ever see anybody, you know, give a weird look or or you know, to beat them up to speak. But after a recent transfer, when he said brad was stressed with all.

all the people .

work over when he .

didn't want to going to do this, the people weren't nice to .

him in that to .

run down the information from Wendy detective hour, along with fellow investigator, dog grows, utilize their own inside man.

we looked out a former to technical hours had left to work at the mine. So we had a pretty good information pipeline into there and able to to cut through the B.

S. So what was the real story? Had brad and harassed, discriminated against anyone of the minds they should look at who may have had a hateful moto.

Quite to the contrary, from everybody we talk to, brad was very well a light bias co workers.

So there's nobody down on the pizz hesitant for this guy. Now are.

you can tell people in the coal mine, in the small towns, are much more accepting two different lifestyles than somebody in the bigger city would think.

Since a hate crime didn't seem likely police dog into their other theories like a wrong.

you start to see things like RAM actors and noticing that there's a lot of stuff in the house that maybe somebody was there to rob him was spoke. Maybe there was a confrontation in a shooting.

and there was a lot too. Rob rad was a collector.

Oh, he had a lot of toys. He liked his antics .

when IT takes.

That was his thing. That was for sure. This house was filled with all kind of anx and country .

things house.

His house was like a cranky bill.

The decor kind .

of woody and rough.

Yeah, that was really nice. So that kind of a joke that we have about Carter barrow has to deal with his home decor and the way that he decorated.

Investigators remembered .

what bride's best friend David had told them. Two workers had recently installed offence had they come back to rob the place IT was a lead detectors followed, but they were having little luck and tracking .

down those workers. You know, we would have to try to find some kind of contract or something when when you have major work around your house.

No such contract was found.

We were looking for a ghost, in other words.

And a closer examination of the upstairs gave police pause.

ran sacking IT was too neat. Articles were taken out and dump ed IT was like in one particular area.

instead of being strewn valuables .

with an easy reach, there was nice televisions. There was new ipad, iphones, high dollar items, things that a thief good. So pretty quickly.

the burglar scenario was scrapped. Police now wonder if brad murder wasn't about plunger or hate, was IT about love.

Nine times out of ten of person who killed you love you at some point. So you always look towards lovers, family.

of particular interest to investigators. Brad's most recent roma, the kinney, had provided a possible lead on that.

too.

Get something.

Brad had a really ship that had showered in the past couple weeks with a manning's goddy.

So this is a recent relationship that's come doing IT. Yes, parenting.

It's interesting. absolutely. At that point, we didn't have a whole lot to go on. So we were pretty interested in that.

They needed to track down the recent love interest. Where was he the night brad was killed? And investigators were about to learn that Scotty was not the only man in brand life. IT was insinuating that they were having sacks.

IT was romantic.

An investigation still underway into the death of the man who lived at this home on lawn avenue. Word of brad margery's murder was echoing through the ohio river valley. Investigators were busy digging into brad's love life.

trying to locate a recent .

x first name, scot.

Nobody seem to know what his name was off the initial a conversations with people.

Pretty quickly, though, police were able to utilize social media to identify scut as twenty two year old Scott rab Butler. His dad was a friend of brad's from the commons. Brad made scud, had a Butler family party. They were on an office at the picture you had.

they hook up. Yeah.

wasn't going anywhere serious.

Now, I wasn't going anywhere serious.

When investigators located Scotty, he was willing to talk. So what is Scotty story?

Scotty basically says that he and bravery kanna on again, off again, and IT had gonna cooled off.

Did your people say, Scotty, we get news for you?

Yes.

how do you take IT?

He was upset, um I say devastated on the .

investigation and formed Scotty um a bride passing on. All the appropriate indicators were present through no indicators of resentment or anything where Scott wished bad things upon brad.

Scott was cleared in brad's marter, and not just because he showed genuine affection for brad. You see, sati had an iron cloud alibi, as in iron bars.

he was incarcerated at the time of this homicide.

Scot was in jail for a probation violation on a prior burglary conviction. So he was in housing account four in the county jail. You believe that red have been murder? correct? It's pretty good alibi and very good alibi. But Scott wasn't the only love of his detectors we're hearing about, hasn't that's my first cousin grew up together, right? O brad cousin skylar straws er came forward with a story and for investigators are titled zing new lead SHE tells you about a sunday brunch families get .

together what's her story? So the night before the murder, bread went to a family wedding, and I got the night there. The next day there was like a family brush.

We wrote grammies on sunday.

grammes me .

book the .

cousins, most of the cousins.

during this brush, brad tells, discuss the sky. You got a text message from what he took as a lover that they were going to meet up in a little bit to take a nap. He made a joke about.

he said tisha, which is one of the other cousins, calls IT taking a nap. And IT wasn't taking an APP t when he was insinuating that they were having sex. IT was a romantic of later, correct.

And then he leaves the family gathering. Is that what happens? Guess we kind of eight, and he just left, kind of left. I don't even think you say for desert, a trust with a lover on the very day bread was killed.

This becomes a person that we want to reach out to immediately. This is somebody that we need to know, because they obviously are going to have a piece of the puzzle that we're missing.

But once again, detectives didn't get a full name. Those skylar told police the relationship had been going on for years. The cousins just knew him as DJ.

That mean you now, at that time? Now we all know who DJ is.

Brad's friend melani had heard a lot about DJ. You is DJ. What does DJ mean to bread?

He was absolutely in love with him. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't do if D. J.

Needed anything. Bad was right there. He would literally rearrange anything in his life to be there for him.

Brad had made the love of his life. The way you're describing IT was IT being .

reciprocated from what brad had shared with me. He believed that DJ was in love with him as well.

The love of brad life. Just one problem, a big one.

One thing we ve learned was not only as he married, but he's almost living a double life because he, while his dating brad, he's betraying himself to everybody that he knows as a happening married man.

A married man with a secret was at a dangerous secret. Detectives needed to find DJ right away. Turns out he was someone theyd already met. I didn't even know is a name until I went on facebook to find that out.

Investigators were running down their most promising lee, a married man who was having a long time affair with brad mackerly, one who had had an intimate rodeo planned with bread on the day he was killed. A guy named D. J. I didn't even know, I guess, the color. D, J.

R, David Kenny, David.

the guy who was at the house, yes, with his wife. And i'd found the body correct. DJ is David.

David Kenny.

David kini, brad's best friend from the minds, who with his wife and step .

daughter had found brad's body.

David, the guy on the scene who had sounded so devastated, so willing .

to help I had been the last known .

to friends and family as DJ short for David junior, had he lined about the true nature of his relationship with bread. David agreed to speak with chief detective ryan alter voluntarily and to bring along a cell phone.

We had already told David we're gonna copies of all the text. Mesage you have a bread because he was one of last people to talk to bread.

Take out how, take a .

look, correct?

We have the ability to wow detective wallers speaking with mr. Kini in one room that I can literally take his phone, walk down the hallway in our forensics lab and process IT in real time while he's talking to .

him and talking to David IT seemed his grief was still raw.

The first.

Just that tries to hard. Down the hall, detective crews .

was using a forensic software program to retrieve text and photos, some deleted from David's iphone.

When i'm finding on the phone is pretty clear, these guys are way more than friends. You know there's they're .

intimately above.

You should stuff on your fans little.

Confronted with the evidence on his phone, David changed his story and admitted to being more than friends with his best friend, brad.

You guys have sections together.

There's a few times in the past were E N. I attempted a lot and we've put put IT in the okay.

I did anything together.

S H.

But what about that taking up date? Bread told his cousin about investigators estimated brad's time of death to be between three and three thirty close to that plan meeting. So detective ola wanted a David to account for his whereabouts around that time.

We wife at sunday afternoon.

Nse runs then.

David said he drove along to window shops and trails for his truck before heading back to his house in brilliant, thirty miles north of bread place in belair.

I think I was like about hot three o'clock near .

the approximate time brad was killed. But once again, David phone told a different story.

The G, P, S. Clearly shows the, at the time we believe that the brave was murdered. Your phone was there.

David story suddenly morphed again. He wasn't brad's.

After all. I went to his house. He was not there. I stayed in a hung around for a little while and that was IT.

David insisted he'd left before brad got back from his family brunch. But remember, the belair police chief had a home security camera just down the street from brats. IT showed David in his wife Sherry car heading taught bride's house. Just before two .

p we see David drop by chios house.

Then fifty six minutes after that.

you see brad drive down the road. And then about fifty months later, another David leaven people. Give me if I start look.

I know what you start to .

look is the evidence mounted David story took another left turn.

even know i'm trying .

to tell you who did tell me what up? That's the point of the story where the wheel falls, the creative train.

David said, yes, he was still there when brad got home, but said when brad arrived, he wasn't alone.

He had another guy with him. I don't know he was, I don't know his name.

He starts telling me about, okay, I was at the house. Brad pulls up with this dirty looking guy i've never seen before.

They are negligible. 对。 OK.

okay.

You heard that? Yes.

sir. So there's a mystery man who arrives with rather than and are killing. Yes, but detectives knew there was a problem with the third bank scenario.

We say brains got pull in the beamer.

Yes, sir.

Red front seat, the beamers full stuff that .

he brought in the wedding. Yes, sir didn't have a passenger.

Look, here's a picture of the car with all the stuff there. So where did the mystery man set?

So mystery man is now gone.

mr.

Man, out. So now he's got explained what he's doing in the basement with the body of his in a quiet voice and now subdue David began yet another version of this story.

Well.

for what we we cleaned at this point is brad felt like David was taken advantage of him. He wanted to be with David. He wanted David to live his wife and be with them. They then be A A real couple.

According to David, he arranged to meet with brad that sunday afternoon, not for sex, but to end their yearlong affair. Newson David said that brand didn't take very well.

You had me spack me around a couple of times, so this is all too long. You need clean your wife. okay? I'm not doing one.

That's why in, according to David, brad pulled out .

a danger pistol.

What happened .

to IT I push him.

Detective all.

Or as David to demonstrate me.

Yes, sir.

investigators had a confession and a claim of self offence. David Kenny was arrested for the murder. How would his self defense story play for a jury and how would the whole story play for his wife?

David Kenny admitted shooting his best friend and secret lover brad margry.

I was like, no way, there is no way.

No, could not be. Why rule him out in your mind?

Just because of how close him and brad doing everything together? Their families went on vacation, and I could not picture him doing that.

David admission meant the horrible shock of finding his friend's body.

I've been in that question .

now was, had his wife Sherry been acting too?

what.

Did you have a sense of whether the wife knew about this?

At that point, we were awful and arrested in net.

You could come up with an era where she's the wrong person in the track and guns in her head. Yeah, it's not hard to get. There is a story. It's really odd. David told investigators Sherry knew nothing about any of IT, but when David asked if he could the one to break the news to Sherry, investigators kept the camera rolling. Keen to see her reaction.

he flip out on he rather twenty two, three children. He evened that he said me around. This is okay. This is.

The shock that just .

goes over her because he doesn't come out and say, IT, what is clearly walking up to .

IT me with that gun? okay. K, let me with that gun. He wants to make a little, you guys, I told him now he come back in the.

IT comes across very honest, very raw at the moment that, that is going on.

We believe he definitely reacted appropriately. But what is that reaction?

And a kiss by .

the world so much to absorb at once her husband was brads killer .

and brad's lover. And no happen. Betwen you do.

Your heart broke for any one of those things was enough to break anybody but you get all that news that wants slot IT was a lot yeah .

and there was more perhaps the most painful realization of all.

I didn't know what is to do.

mr. Kenny took not only his wife, but his stepped daughter, a child, to a crime scene where he knew he knew there was a dead man inside. I mean, there's just no other way to describe IT as other than disgusting.

This guy brings a step daughter to a murdered cy, and SHE sees everything.

Who would do that? I think he felt really back into a corner and his mind was going crazy at that point because I know there is not the same person that would involve a child in that way.

David pleaded not guilty to aggravated or premeditated murder with bail said at one million dollars, he remained behind bars to a way trial. When brand's friends got wind of David self defense claim, they thought, no way.

What do you think happened here? I think that brad gave him an automatic, and I think he said, if you don't tell Sherry, i'm going to.

you see, this is premeditated. He came there with murder on his mind.

absolutely. So the truth would not come out about their affair. In his fear of losing his family.

law enforcement agreed.

either we're gonna be unlikeable and reasonable at this, or one of us is gonna walk away, because two can keep a secret of one's dead.

In january two thousand eighteen, David went on trial at the belmont county court of comment, please. Prosecutors were ready to rebuck David claim of self defense with their own smoking gun. Forensics, they revealed show that brad was shot from behind in the back of the head, not in the front, as David had initially said.

What's more, the jury heard that brad had been shot not just once in the back of the head, but twice, which didn't exactly sound like soft defence. We have made the decision that mr. Key will not testify. David never took the stand to explain that second shot, but jurors were shown the police .

interview with detective all ground you again.

IT was just that just happened after just .

four hours of deliberations, we, the jury, Julian p. Sworn.

find the defend daily .

carl Kitty guilty. He sentenced life in prison without parole.

Isn't that and all the apologies in the world never bring him back inside.
