The shocking to someone had murdered before.

I was very, very shocking. We were just completely lost.

Everybody was kind of astonished. He was just a regular everyday guy, I, who had a wife and a Young child.

That was the side of them. You didn't know he was having .

an affair exactly when nobody knew.

SHE is beautiful. SHE was elegant.

SHE had everything.

the year, the manches, the liberton bags.

the burner phones that they would meet up in hotels.

You gotta look triangle here. You've got a dead guy who who's .

got a girlfriend with somebody else's.

his wife. Yes, you start to see things .

unfold before fighters rich supermarket, who set at an emotional moment that was almost unfathomable if someone could have orchestrated this horrible murder, secret lovers and a sinister crime, a twisted tale of murder in miami. I'm letter hold. This is deadline.

He is tanis Murphy with the end of the affair. Money, sex, jealousy, rage, this case had all the elements have a bad hollywood movie. IT was an immigrant success story.

Razing cuba came here, the immigrant story, american dream.

a dream that became an american tragedy.

The body was still on fire.

That's a say you can not see.

unfortunately. No, it's not IT really was just dripping with drama .

from waterfront merchants to the ogress swamped of the everglades. This is not one of those stories that could happen anywhere. This is an only in miami kind of case.

Communal, salazar was a lucky man, living a life of second chances. He was married less than a year, living in a beautiful home in coconut growth. When his wife is, he gave birth to a baby girl. Computer sister Carol now done me about the .

arrival scar. wow. Well, yeah, we are all super excited about IT. And the Daisy was, you know, a saic about IT .

june first, two thousand and eleven was just three weeks after skylar was born. A routine morning, as routine as any day can be for a couple with a newborn. Daisy, an event planner, was already back in her office.

SHE calls her brother and says, you know, can you bring a baby over? correct? I want to nurse him. I've got some time now and he does that right.

Dropped off the baby. He actually that up going back to the car because he forgot the pacifier, so he ran back to the car and then went back into the building to give the pacifier to daily.

kissed them goodbye and life. That was a little after ten, I am the seller as routine day ended then in there at dinner time, Daisy was at home when he called Caroline a asking if she's heard from gilo.

I said no and I said, what's going on? He goes, nobody is heard from him. And SHE had told me that he had already started, started to call some hospitals, and just seeing was going on. Yeah, then I then, of course, I got worried.

Friends and family found out looking for kalo. His mother searched on foot near the house, while others went to day's office. Communes mother in as they spend some .

time .

kind of canvas the area and walking around and even opening up car doors that were unlocked just to see if he could be in there. They were looking everywhere. No sign of cillo, but his mother would not stop. SHE kept walking and walking. SHE actually wore out the souls of her shoes, and the that evening, after we'd been going around nine hours, the family called the city of miami police department to report communal missing.

The officer at the time really was treating IT as IT was not a big deal. One of these calls tomorrow noon.

and we will see what's going on.

exactly. I don't think they really thought anything was wrong, and I think they thought easy was over exaggerating what was happening.

The officer said he was too early for a missing person investigation, but he didn't know kalo. This was not his mo, he was always in touch. But friends and family were getting desperate. They went back to day's office and expanded the search.

They started, you know, sort of backtracking. And then they realized, two minute, his cars right there and never IT never left.

The vehicle was part on the street. The driver side window was down, no keys inside.

All right, there is obviously something really wrong here. And then everything started.

They notified police about the vehicle, and that's when an investigation into camel's disappearance officially started. An officer came to the scene just before midnight and had the S. U, V, told the following morning for the forensic team. But nobody can. Miles has knew that another discovery had already been made in the far reaches of the county, about an hours drive from where friends and family were searching.

It's not a place that you Normally think of when you think of the glitz and glamour r of miami. It's scary, it's lonely, and that's where a lot of people go to dumb bodies.

As they turned a night, communal sales family knew something was terribly wrong. He'd been missing for hours. One reason for concern, cilla would never do anything to make them worry. No way.

Children of immigrants, lattin family values. You put your family first for everything. So my brother was always the one to be there for us.

Cilla was born in columbia during the rise of poo ecb's media e drug cartel. They were treated times. And that was one of the reasons that let us to make the move to come to miami.

The salaries made the most of their new life in america. Celo worked for his dads s import export business, then found success on his own selling window treatments. Cilla always seemed to have a charmed life. He was a good student, made friends easily.

He was surrounded by friends all the time, always smiling, always had a something funny to say, or, you know, kind of made things liked.

He was also a star athlete, even as an adult. One sport in particular, which people probably didn't even realized, was a sport back then. Frisbie, right? He was a frisbee champion.

He was, they would play, get together in a park in miami for many years, and then they formed the league. They were called the miami refugees.

was popular, fun, always smiling. And now he was missing. At the same time, communal family was searching for him.

Look ten and Angelo and droi of the miami date police was on assignment in a remote part of the country. He knew nothing about a missing person. He was in his patrol car looking for drug .

smuggling in addiction detail for architects through the zone of OK robi role in .

kromah in from southwest h street, lute and dry was about an hours drive and a world away from cillo s beautiful home in coconut .

growth driving. So I look over to the horizon and I see A A cloud of smoke .

was a smoky fire with flames.

IT was a fire with flames.

As lootenant on droi headed toward to the flames, he called in a request for a fire rescue.

IT was pretty four in there.

maybe five hundred feet.

five hundred feet into the right to remember IT. And the brush was on fire. There was a huge small coming out.

You could see flames. Oh yeah. I felt, are the firefighters here yet? And I, yet, your head, everybody lootenant android, felt the heat, but was stopped in his tracks by something else.

At the center of the fire was a side hill. Never forget a body. Where's the body? What you, I remember .

IT on the floor. Still a little bit of flames in firms .

coming out of the body.

Yes, I see the the brush and the body. Everything's in golf. Uh then that's when fire rescue comes. Then they extinguished the fire .

and really secured the scene and called for the homicide unit. Detective crivelli o got the call and headed out.

There was an identified a White male who was had his hands down behind his back. He, he was lying on his stomach. We could see that he had a slit throat. At that time, somebody had made a comment that it's resembles that of a colombian necktie.

I D phra D I don't know.

That was the first time I had .

heard it's too grow tests to describe, but a colombian necktie is a type of murder supposedly Carried out by drug cartels. Urban legend or not, there was no question this was a dangerous area known for drug trafficking and unhappy endings.

with a little bit of a lot less area.

Back in two thousand eleven, David ova was a reporter for the miami herald.

IT is a place where many, many bodies have been dumped over many, many decades in my amy day county.

In fact, another burn body was found nearby just a week earlier, as detective vellano took a closer look at the body. dumper. Okay, roby road, the brutality of this murder came into focus.

You had some blunt force rama to the head and face. The pelvic region or the genital region of of the victim was burnt extensively. There's a message. This is probably pretty personal .

with somebody personal seemed likely. But what exactly did you mean? Hard to say without even knowing who this man was. That's the next weak question. Who will you have?

correct? There was no personal items on him to include any sort of identification.

The next morning, detective vona went to the more to observe the autopsy. A city of miami police detective happened to be there too. He was working a missing person case.

He was there with a flying of a White mail.

a fix to a missing person's fly.

correct?

IT didn't take long to connect the flying to the murdered man at the mork. IT was coming o salzar. He was just forty three years old. Caroline ina was a communal house when detectives arrived with a driver, moon.

my daze and my mom. And there were other people that were in the living room inside the house, and the detectives had come inside, and they told him the news. And I just remember hearing just loud screaming coming from the house.

I saw my mother. I saw Daisy. Everybody was just wAiling. So did any .

that make sense?

No, no. We were just completely lost. So IT was definitely .

shock for a kuno's mother. IT was the cruel as possible ending to the american dream she's wanted for. Her family .

always like figure in my mind that we had a table .

with poor chairs, but now there was an empty chair at in as his family table commute ir. Everything was done. We never has a .

peace, terrible pain.

collapse in my life. There's not really getting over that, is there? No cell's murder was a tragedy for his family, a mystery for police and for those who followed the case as an unfolded, IT was unlike anything they'd .

ever seen. If this saga was a movie, this saga would be some sort of only in south of the telling about a very mellow, dramatic and very tragic.

The fire scene where communal assays body was found didn't yield any forensic evidence, but there was another potential crime scene. About four miles away, the spot wk commuters s abandoned S, U, V was discovered.

We proceed the vehicle at the city of miami. They were able to obtain a late print off of the victim's vehicle. So that's promising. yes.

And you an IT. And what happened?

We did not get any any hits on that.

So with no meaningful forensic evidence, detective villano and his partner, surgeon doug marcoy, did a deep dive into capital's life, starting where they always do in cases like this with the victim's marriage.

And we don't have a whole lot to go on. So we typically start with the victim. We learn all we can.

When detectives ask people about communal and Daisy relationship, they heard pretty much the same thing from everyone.

They had a really a good friendship. Whenever I saw them, they seem very happy. They IT was were having a fun.

Since cillo s body was found in an area known for drug trafficking, the detectives pursued that angle.

As we spoke to family and friends, he didn't have any enemies. He was not in in the drug business. IT did not appear that he was involved in any criminal activity. He was just a regular, everyday guy.

just a regular guy. Nothing to explain why he ended up debt. So detectives, cy, push, easy to tell them anything about communal that might not be so squeezy clean. SHE told them about something that happened five years earlier.

His wife Daisy tells us about a land deal the victim was involved in in two thousand six.

and IT went sideways.

and some, he did go sideways.

So that's of interest.

IT was because he stood to make one hundred thousand dollars in this investment. IT did not work out.

There was a lot of money at stake when the deal went belly up. More than that, IT looked like the developer in charge was involved in some shady financial dealings that caused the attention of the F. V.

I. And back in two thousand and six, they started looking into the deal. Can be, look, CoOperated with the investigation. Does this sound like the kind of thing that could get a guy killed?

I guess that all depends who are dealing with.

Remember, that burned body discovered not far from cellos just days before his murder, turned out that victim was also well witness CoOperating with authorities in a criminal case. Did the similar circumstances mean the two murder were connected?

Investigators are going to be able, across reference the cases, to see if, in fact, there is any possible relationship between the two cases.

Detectives could find no connection and no evidence that cilla was killed because of that shady land deal.

After speaking with the FBI, they had interviewed several individuals, bankers that were part of the land deal. And there was no threats I made to any of those individuals, nor where they're .

any threats I made to commute. The lead went nowhere. So what did detectives have? One uni dense fied pinker bread. In other words, they had nothing unless unless .

there was some secret life that he was living.

A secret life. Well, just days after capital was killed, detectors heard from a woman named Jenny mary, who shed light on that. IT was a huge break in the case.

When detectors met with her.

Jenny started with a coincidence that was hard to believe her husband was missing to his name was many marine coal, owner of presidents of popular chain of supermarkets, cater into the espana community in south loda. Many is a big deal. In this community.

He was gale levine .

of veteran prosecutor of the miami date state attorney. Y's office would work and in glove with detectors. Fillan o and mccoy on the case, love you and learned a lot about many marine. He was like the successful cuban emigrate story. He riving with nothing and ending up with the whole back.

exactly hard working guy came with nothing. Started supermarkets in new jersey, moved to miami, more supermarket, more money, and contributing to the optimist club, the little league teams, well recognized, well respected.

When Jenny met man, he was still married to his first wife. He was also twenty years older than Jenny, but many fell hard for her.

He pursued her. SHE is beautiful. SHE was elegant. SHE said, if you divorce your wife, you know, we can talk about IT. He came in with the divorce papers, slew a new jersey and swept off feet.

So he's down on one day with both divorce papers and .

the rank exactly come back with me. Now is the time. And he .

went many. And Jenny lived in a spectacular waterfront house on a double lot in lights point about an hour. So on north miami, they had two children together and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle.

The way Jenny I explained that is I was a great father .

and just a great supporter. Christian found the story of n miami filling IT, W, T, V.

J and anish language.

Know you provided everything to Jenny. So when IT comes to typical miami stuff.

I know you have the yard. You have the man .

he wanted bag. So SHE had everything. SHE didn't have to work.

What didn't SHE had? What was wrong .

in the marriage? love? SHE didn't have that love from a long way. money.

Chinese marriage was a mess. There was infidelity, jealousy in constant infighting. But what does that have to do with communal salar only everything. And Jenny was about to tell the detectives all about IT.

Detectives investigating communal seller as murder were contacted by a woman named Jenny. Marine SHE told him about her marriage to supermarket model. Many marine IT was disfunctional, broken beyond repair.

Jenny is restless. She's not feeling any warmth. She's feeling very lonely and isolated. SHE didn't have any friends.

but Jenny did have at least one friendship, a man in her social circle sheet known for years. Eventually there are casual relationship turned into a very secret affairs.

They did everything under the radar. You know, they bought burner phones so they could talk to each other. They would meet up in hotels, you know, near one of the shopping walls where he would go every day. So that was a very, very hush, hush kind of thing.

Despite these efforts, many found out about the affairs. He was furious and a jelly.

He's on a six lane highway. SHE wants to jump out of the car. It's dangerous. SHE screams him to pull over, and he pulls so close to the guard rail that he can even open the door. So SHE actually the window.

SHE flees the husband through the car window. That's right. She's on the side of the road.

That's right on a very, very busy miami highway.

Even after that drama on the highway, Jenny and many stayed together, but things didn't get Better. And months later, a brother yg, they got into IT again. He told her in spanish the affair was a discussions, a disGrace, and ordered her to end IT. But Jenny decided to end her marriage instead. And when many disappeared a few days later, he felt the time was right and paid a visit to a divorce lawyer.

SHE told the divorce lawyer, I have a boyfriend. My husband found out I was supposed to stop the affair. I didn't.

Jenny said. Not only was her husband missing, but now her lover wasn't answering her calls and text. Her lawyer didn't internet search on. The boyfriend went .

on to google and saw that there was a crime stoppers tip. Does anybody have any information?

Would this be your lover?

Yep.

the crime stopper s website was asking for tips about a murder case. The victim's name was sale. Yes, that can seller. He was Jenny secret lover. IT was a stunning turn of events.

Jenny had gone to the lawyer seeking a divorce, then confess to win affair and learned that her lover had been the victim of a greasley murder all in one meeting. Her lawyer said this wasn't a story for a divorce attorney jenne e needed to talk to the police, and that's how detectives investigating cellos murder ended up talking to Jenny maron. You got a love triangle.

Apparently you've got a dead guy who's got a girlfriend to somebody else's wife. yes. And there was more .

men while marine passport was missing. And the reason he knew that is because he was the person who kept all the passports. SHE had also, during the interview, provided us the telephone. Number two, our husband.

With those leads, detectives were able to learn that just days after cellos murder, many myron had flown to paris around trip ticket, but he never returned. So many. The supermarket wealthy mogul guy is now in europe. Correct off the grid.

Nobody knows where he is. No one knows where is.

But now they knew that he was the odd man out in a love triangle, and his disappearance was of his own doing. That was a game changer. Do these suspicious circumstances make him to the number one person of interest on your list? Yes, he's now someone wanted for the murder of cela.

At that point, he is a person of interest or a main suspect. In our case.

Jenny story had turned her husband into a suspect, and when he gave detector's many cell phone number IT LED to all sorts of new leads.

In today's world, I hate to tell all the possible criminals in the world, but your phone tells everything.

Now you start getting, issuing, supping. As to the cell phone .

companies and where was that trial .

leading you to IT LED us to three particular individuals who seem to be receiving and making all of the calls at the time.

The cell phone records did not include any GPS or tracking data to show where the phones were, but I did show that on the day cilla was murder, many marine phone was blowing up with calls two and from three men, all of them involved in the mixed martial arts fight game. So this all moves into the kind of weird world of mixed martial hearts and jims.

Many always had a special place for restless. And he became friendly with a Young guy that had won the bronze metal in the atlantic olympics for cuba.

for cuba.

And he helped him defect through porter eo.

And this .

is a guy named alex A.

A. In notoriety in amErica as a mixed martial arts fighter, many marine phone records also LED to Ariel gandolf, another cuban mix martial arts fighter who trained in the same gm via. And then there was Roberto asic. He was well as friend, and one of his corner men in the fight game, detect us brought asic. And for question, are you asking him the wearables question?

Where were you on? You even get that far? He invoked his rides. So we didn't garner any new information from that interview.

They interviewed the other two men and didn't get much from them either, but the detectors felt certain that three men had something to do with communal murder. Even though they had no evidence to prove IT and many more in the man they believe was behind the whole thing, he was still nowhere to be found. The authorities knew who I was probably, but couldn't put their hands on him.

bring him into a country, right? Yeah, that was very frustrating.

That frustration wouldn't live forever. Detectives were about to track down a witness with an incredible story about the .

day celo was murdered. Cillo struggling, or fighting, or screaming, yelling.

The dazzling new collection exclusively at gerd.

IT was a love triangle that ended in a grizly death, a case with no arrests, but a lot of leads. A big one came from cell phone tower records.

We did find manny's phone pinging in the area in and around where the victim's body was found.

devastating evidence, or just interesting smoke. Prosecutor Catherine fernan, as rundle is the miami date state attorney, it's a circumstantial case. Does that worry you? What you really worried about is you don't really have that witnesses at that point. Another big worry for investigators was their prime suspect.

man. Well, marine was still outstanding.

but two years after the murder, detectives and prosecutors got a lead to change that after many fled the U. S. His wife, Jenny, filed for divorce. Many responded with documents filed overseas.

All the documents are in spanish ed and notarized with a spanish seal. I figure he's in spain to .

have address for him. In spain.

absolutely not.

The spanish government didn't offer to search for him, so levine asked the FBI for help. SHE didn't even get the answer. They wanted .

their responses. Call us back when you have an address.

IT was a promising lead, but I just didn't pay off and the investigation store. But then in two thousand and fifteen, four years after commit OS murder, detective velna went back to the case file and notice something.

We had a fingerprint still left.

the unit dental fied fingerprint found on camillo's S U V billion, to decided to run the print again. And bingo. This time there was a hit who left that print.

arial gandia.

Arial ganda, the mixed martial arts fighter who was on the phone with many the day of the murder. After cell's murder, gandolf had been arrested on a drug charge, and now his fingerprint was in a national database. Would think that would .

be a big deal. IT was a very big deal. I remember that day.

like IT was yesterday, the fingerprint connect to him directly to communal, but detectives couldn't find andella. Like many, he had also disappeared. The detectives now believe they had a winning case, but prosecutor said IT still wasn't enough to bring charges for currently in other family. Waiting for justice wasn't dc .

IT felt like forever? And I just kept thinking, we have to be patient.

the case language, with no new evidence but detect this. Villino and mccoy kept pushing prosecutors. And finally, in two thousand eighteen, after years of internal debate, the state attorneys office decided to charge the four suspects with murder.

You gotta a go with what you had. So we charge people, we charged all four of them, many in absentia. Gandhi, an absentia. And we knew we had villa and Isaac.

they brought villa and iraq into custody, but still needed to find gandolf and mei. He was somewhere in spain and living a comfortable life with money, they discovered being provided by his son ya l, who was back in florida. So gallegan brought charges against the sun for adding and abetting the sun, the air in the Better, as you think that's right. Is he shaking in his books?

I don't know, but he's getting a lot of bad press.

The pressure on the sun must have been felt all the way to spain in because on August twenty four or two thousand and eighteen many marine decided to give up his life in .

exile all the side and many shows up in the spanish h embassy and says, I wanted in the .

united states, gives them, gives himself up. Finally, after seven long years, mani was in custody and back in florida charged with the murder of celo stelzer. Three of the four suspects were now behind bars, but they weren't talking.

Maybe prosecutors would have Better look with Ariel gandolf, but he was still large. You, you got to find a week link here. Da, you ve got to find the persons kind of flip on the others.

That's right. So they set out to fine dando. A, so where's this guy I can do?

IT, vancouver, canada. How did you learn that? Google.

the prosecutors in this country use google to make their cases.

You use whatever you can.

The team made the six hour flight to canada, and gano a agreed to talk to them in a vancouver police station.

Can we call you arial or do mr. ganelon? His answers are not lining up with the evidence that we have.

So after several hours of hearing his story, we now start presenting him with the evidence that we have. And now his story starts to change. His demeanor starts to change.

He just fold before your.

yes, he sits back in his chair, he falls his arms, his head goes down. You can see that we're on the right track .

and he knows that can do the crack. And started telling a hero wing story, he said back on that june day in two thousand and eleven, his friend Roberto isag told him he needed help in timidity. A man, world, someone, money IT. Was cilla a man they had never met, but they had a photo of them and an address. After cilla drop his newborn offered day's office, he walked to his SUV, where the men we're waiting for.

mister Isaac, acted as he was possibly a police officer. Some sort of the enforcement, they're then abduct mr. Sallazar put him in the back of the truck.

Can dolly said they zip tied his hands behind his back and held him hostage for hours, then met many at an empty lot in an industrial area where there be no witnesses. Gandois says. Many drag communal into his Mercedes.

Me, gandois says. When milo sees madwell marine, he starts to freak out.

The victim says, oh my god, that's the woman i'm having an affairs with. What husband?

This was way bigger than collecting a deck. This was about jealousy and revenge.

Was kalo struggling, or fighting, or screaming.

yelling. And he was saying, why are you doing this? Said, you know why this is happening? You know why this is happening. When gandel a realized why this was happening, he said he was done.

He's going a longer gna have anything to do with this.

So he actually gets into the truck. He pulls the truck away and he drives home.

Get to leaves, he leaves. And that's where gaddo the story ended. He said he did not witness the murder, never made IT to that horrible scene in the other glades where communal body was found thirty miles away from where he met up with money.

Still, IT was an incredible story. And eyewitness gandel a at place many marine in the middle of IT, while they were still at the police station in vancouver. Levine made a snap decision.

So right then in there, I make the quicker deal I ever made in my life. I'll give you three years for kidnapping if he walks across the border, tells the story.

Gan do not took the deal and would become a witness for the prosecution. But IT was the two women at the center of the storm who were getting the headlines, and they were about to tell their dramatic stories that many americans trial.

IT was a brutal, cruel, disgusting murder case that was most if someone could have orchestrated this horrible murder. Almost twelve years after communal salsa is murder, the case found its way to a jury. In the spring of twenty twenty three, alleged mastermind man maron was on trial charged with second degree murder. Prosecutor just in font of the lead.

IT was revenge. IT was much asmal. Many had been wronged. His wife was cheating on him. And this was the man who did IT.

And we're going to deal with IT, prosecutors said. Many hired the M. A, A muscle to kidnap computer at day's office.

Many later met them at that empty industry. A lot drove out to the eigg lades and viciously murdered him. It's a desperate man who believes he's been disGrace.

And he knew that the loyalty of some of these people was gonna effect, ate what he wanted to achieve. Prosecutors, one of the jury, to hear first hands from the two women at the heart of this tragic love trial, Daisy cellos wife, and Jenny, his lover. Their stories would provide the motive for the murder.

You could probably hear a pin drop in that room that day when that happened because I was just I think there was a lot of anticipation.

Daisy, the heartbroken widow, told the jury about her last moments with cillo when he brought their baby to her office.

You forgot her passive er so he ran back out grab .

b that brought IT to me. He was and he said also .

you bye.

Yes, no one saw again.

Did you have any idea that your husband was involved with somebody?

No, we were .

very happy, very present. He was present all the time.

The prosecution then called Jenny to show the jury how our affair had triggered her husband.

And's range many, and gave you everything you could have want to correct? Yes, but you fell out a lot of them. Yes, you disrespected him.

Yes.

he want you.

Yes, we are still.

yes. Is that right?

yes. Jenny described how he misunderstood something when he said during that argument about her affair on their yard. That confrontation was just ours. Before cilla was killed, reporter Christian column was in the courtroom .

moon when Martin says, Jenny, if you don't stop what you're doing, you're going to cause at this .

classes what is the word that he used and spanish for distance there's gata ia.

And jennie .

took IT as you're going to cause a disGrace. But in cubans lying, this gata sia is known as a calamity, or in another word, a tragedy.

IT means that i'm going to commit a tragedy because of this. So that was a big thing. IT was almost like an admission.

IT was almost like a confession. Before the correct confessional or not, IT was a calamity, prosecutors argued. IT was a crime of passion Carried out against kimo in a merciful way by enraged husband, many marine.

and I believe they turned him over and let them on fire from his penis. You only do that if you have one thing in mind. revenge.

Not only was there a strong motive, prosecutors said there was evidence that man was there that date cilla was murdered, a real gun, dula told the jury about seeing him at that industrial a lot. And prosecutors said the cell phone data put many at the sponge where they found gilles body.

There was no way that he was gonna able to explain the cellphone, the flight by many area organist testimony. He just couldn't explain .

that away when he came time for the defense. Barr's attorney O Z K. Yon disputed all of the statements vidth and told the jury that many had nothing to do with the murder.

Not a single one piece survive points to this money, not the defense.

Did IT MIT money was at that industry a lot? Not to take part in a murder, but to watch celo take a beating.

This was indeed nothing more and nothing less than an attempt to scare the sales are in order to stop the affair. And no one will come into this courtroom and testify that mister Martin killed. Come to sala.

the defense attorney said many was not at the location where communal s body was found. He said the cell phone data was simply not precise.

IT could be any worse in this big two mile radios could be any words.

and arial gan dulan, the defense called him a liar.

You need to watch out. He's trying to strike a deal with the prosecutors. He has tremendous motive to lie.

As for the affair, the defense be raided Jenny on the witness stand, chastising her for her role in the tragedy.

You're ready to break up. I just devote yourself to your kids and your husson.

I wanted to, yes.

why did you do that? You could have done. You're right. What was preventing when you wants something that is successful, that is reached, that the husband is asking you to do?

What did you do that he's asking you to do, that you can do? IT IT is there? 我 没。

我。

呢? I don't, I. After nearly two weeks of testimony, IT was time for closing arguments. The prosecution went first.

Many marine is the reason why they're here.

We're not talk about the higher hanwa.

This is the architect. We are here because of man. Well, marin's own ego.

But the defense said many was, no.

no clear is a peaceful guy, no violence, none of this, this is not who hear I supposed to this other individual who is a violent person.

The defense said that other individual was, but he was the who killed, kill. After a six hour deliberation, the jurors walked back into the quarter version sheet in hand.

The defendant is guilty, keep man slaw and lesser .

included crime guilty, but not a second degree murder. They went for the manslaughter charge.

They did manslaughter with a weapon. They still found him guilty of the death of canal .

sales are once they read the verdict IT was just as like, finally you know, finally, after all these years, it's finally coming to close.

But do you ever really shed the awfulness of what happened?

I'm going to bring my brother back, that's for sure.

Sixty nine year old man maron was given a life sentence view pardomuan Isaac tried separate iac was found guilty of murder via guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. The filling in charges against marson yi l. Were dropped.

I think the outcome is what you know, not for us as the detective or the department, but more importantly, the closure for the family.

But closures is not always an easy thing, especially for a mother who lost her only son. And as, how are you doing after all of this?

Survive day after day.

survive day after day. Carolyn tries to honor her brother by remembering his big smile, infectious lave, and the way he embrace life.

When camilla was with you, IT was like, you've known him for your whole life right now. He'd be sitting down joking with you, making you laugh, making you smile.
