Some of would say.

Meantime, the army moved millie to fort Jackson, south CarOlina a where he trained recruits in chemical warfare. The couple was five hundred miles apart. While living by herself in maryland, carton became friends with another soldier. Mera loved working with garland.

SHE was the light of the office. SHE was loving everyone, loved there.

Ria was a single mom with a Young daughter. So when carlin was nearing the end of her pregNancy, they decided to share a house together at a backyard.

IT had a decent size kitchen, and I was right by base.

Did you ever have security concerns about the townhouse or the .

area we did have? Carlin had mentioned that he came home one day and felt lake stuff was moved around in .

the house really well. If somebody says that to me, i'm getting worried.

The two women kept the doors and windows locked and work together to make their townhouse a home. Mercer helped carlins set up a nurse. And then on April twenty third, two thousand fifteen, catala bail ramirez was born. Grima Susan was on the first flight from texas.

What was that like for you? Carlin and and her new daughter rail together that your baby is now how a baby?

Yes, IT was amazing. I I gotten and I wouldn't share her with anybody.

Veil was healthy and beautiful. Carton radiant. Their townhouse was filled with the joyful sounds of carlsen interval. SHE particularly loved .

SHE was happy and looked like he found her purpose in life.

Three months after vae was born, carlin and millie married in a small ceremony and south CarOlina. After the party, carling went back home to 4 meat in maryland with the baby。

He said I was hard the distance, not saying him all the time.

Susan stayed in touch with her daughter.

I spoke with caron everyday, sometimes twice.

but tuesday, August twenty fifth, would be different. Susan called carla that morning.

and he does.

And is that, I mean.

I such a close relationship?

So I waited and I called her again and SHE didn't end. So I sent to an email, to her work email, and reget a response to the hat, called her on my lunch break. And SHE didn't answer. I said, if you do not call me back or a message me, i'm going to call .

the police now, frantic Susan reached carl's commanding officer at his home. He promised to have someone on the base bind her.

I hang up with him and I put the phone down, and I hear a rough on our front yard. We have river rot. And so I looked out and I saw three uniform soldiers guy.

and I know that .

just made me yeah sick. That's to meet you.

It's what any relative of a somebody in the military threads. I mean, i'm ring core wife myself.

And so I think you you don't never want to to have to see that and I yelled my husband's knee and I just died, drops my needs. And as it's somebody happened to corner then then they .

knocked .

SHE .

was right. Something had happened .

to carlin.

Just like the .

we say when we returned, what the soldiers said next would leave this mom horrified and confused.

I couldn't even imagine what could have possibly happen.

In del rio, texas, Susan remi, ces husband, opened their door to an army casualty notification team. And the worst news imaginable, their garland, was dead.

What did they say?

Will we going to inform you? Just like they always say, saying words, they had a japan with them and couldn't give me any specifics. They ask for the baby. They said they choose in the hospital.

So what scenario are running through your mind?

I couldn't even imagine what could have possibly happened.

The answers would come seventeen hundred miles away at cards townhouse in maryland, homicide detectives Kelly hearting and dan mires of the anton's county share of office were on the case.

A ance person saw A A dog walking around into a open back door of the town homes. He called me on mine, and the officers got there. And carlin, romania has had .

been murdered. Patrol officers LED the detectives to a second floor bedroom and an appalling scene IT was carlin and her four months old daughter together .

SHE was laying in the master bedroom and a little girl was um they thought initially also had been murdered. But IT turns out that he was just sleeping alongside of her mom. The baby was unharmed.

The investigators began their search for clues with carlin's body.

SHE was laying on the floor near the crib. Her pants and her underwear had been removed.

That suggests you that there are may have been .

a sexual assault is something that you have to consider.

The crime scene investigation wrapped up csi, dusted for fingerprints and collected hair and DNA samples. Carvin had been shot three times. Ballistic CS experts trace the bullett trajectories ies and recovered a bullet from the floor they were able to narrow down the weapon to a few different models.

The calibre of the project le was three, seven.

thirty eight special, of course, a hard look at the smell is homicide investigation one or one. So the day after, they found carlin's body detectives with to south CarOlina to talk with milk.

he'd been placed in an interview room and he was waiting for us.

They started by asking about garland .

what he tell us about her.

Malik's superior officer .

had given him only the vegas of details about what happened to carlin.

So you guys my questions. Show me.

Why that's open, you can help us with.

Nobody little like her having them against her.

They wanted to know the leaks where about the day of the murder, he told them he worked as usual shift monday, leaving around two P. M. He said he stayed in his apartment until he reported for duty tuesday morning.

and.

The questions got personal. Detectives had been told carlin was planning .

to divorce mogue telling you an outsider IT looks like yellow, red down. SHE would done .

you right?

They've learned about a brief relationship carlin had with another soldier at fort made shortly before SHE married malik e, and asked him how we felt about that.

You were any exclusive relationship with her? The detectives .

cut to the chase.

Was he being really CoOperative with you?

He appeared to have nothing to hide.

Moike let them downloaded phone, and that wasn't all. He volunteered his bank records, offered fingerprints and provided a DNA sample. He gave police permission to search his apartment and car. The detectives got .

to work right away. We talk to neighbors that in his apartment building, they said that his car never left.

Malik arne's apartment and car, a distinctive jawa. X, J, L, came up clean, and all his electronics, his l, phone, T, X, account, put him at home that night, five hundred miles from the crime scene, police checked, told prauge. In license plate readers between south CarOlina and maryland, there was no sign of male's jack ARP anywhere on what would have been a fifteen hour round trip.

Would you say that he had a good bar?

Yes, mili kerney was free to go. The maryland detectives were back to square one at the beginning of what would become an incredibly complex homicide case. An investigation that would spend a half dozen states involved, hundreds of witnesses, multiple government agencies and a mountain of forensic evidence coming up.

Could carlins top secret work have costar her life? I wondered if SHE was .

targeted or knew something SHE wasn't supposed to know.

A little more than a week after he was killed, private for his class, carlin remitted, was buried with full military owners. Flags were presented to her parents, husband and daughter. Susan had little time.

Demn SHE was busy caring for carlin's daughter vail in texas, while her father, malik e, was on active duty in south CarOlina. Susan was also doing everything he could to help solve the case. Investigators asked again and again, who would want carton dead?

I would say, you know, I am racking my brain and I wish I could tell you, but I I just cannot think of anyone.

Detectives cast a wide net. They spoke with carlins roomy marisa multiple times. They were curious about the soldier carlin had the brief relationship with before he married milk. Could her death? You've been the result of a love triangle .

gone bad another line of questioning made me think that they are looking at um the soldier that he was involved with.

the guy he was having the flying with at work. Yes, what kind of questions that they ask about him.

what the relationship was like? Did he lover? Did you love him? Did moike know?

Did you have to check into the soldiers that he had the little side thing with?

certainly. And he was devastated that this happens if he provided his phone, his whereabout. We concluded that he was telling the truth where he was during the time with .

the boyfriend, cleared some of carlin's friends and family, thought the murder might be connected to her top secret work.

And I wondered if he was targeted or knew something he wasn't supposed to know because of a job.

The detectives were looking for any site that carlin might have been recruit as a spy by foreign agents.

I remember specifically then telling me, did SHE come into a lot of money that he couldn't explain to you? No.

he didn't. Maybe he was selling secrets. That's of a spy novel. Yes, that theory. What did you learn about carlin? Remember this role in the military?

He was an intelligence specialist.

Did you have to explore the fact that maybe this has something to do with her job?

There was no evidence of a handler or any of misbehaving with her information.

Sb, n age was ruled out. Weeks went by without a break.

In the case, homicide detectives are still conducting several interviews.

but so processing evidence from the scene.

the crime scene investigation intensified, taped off, going through evidence, going through the house, trying to find things, trying to find leads.

And Martha lived in fear, remembering carlins concerns about someone creeping around their townhouse. Carla had said he thought .

maybe somebody had moved things around. Did your mind go at all to the possibility that I could been someone random?

They even almost seemed like a hit man had did IT because of a so particular sly planned out carlins romain .

told us that they had security concerns, that someone had maybe been in the townhouse said, at some point I was .

always something we to keep the back of our minds .

did you have to consider the possibility that maybe carlin had a stocker, someone who was watching them.

watching her? Yeah, we IT looked extensively into her background and into her communication.

Investigators pursued the few leads. They had all the wall. Susan was pushing them for answers .

to three times a week. Know they would hear from me.

They must have been getting frustrating that he was murdered. Her killer is out there, yes, and her daughter is with you. You must have just felt that fear.

constant fear. Vee was not out of our side.

but he heard nothing on what would have been carlin's twenty five birthday, the family took vail to .

visit her grave, 我的 妈咪。

By that time, malik was living nearby. The army had allowed him to transfer from south CarOlina to force m. houston.

He had got in orders to get closer to the baby and as as he can get tonia so he can come and end baby on .

the weekends. The premier's .

family struggled to find Normal seat back in maryland. The investigation seemed to have stalled, and orono conney offered a twenty thousand dollar reward for information about the case. The reward generated no promising leads, and homicide detectives wonder if carl's death could be part of a larger, even more sinister .

crime coming up.

Investigators pursue a stunning new theory.

There's no likely suspects. So the first thought is serial killer or some unknown individual.

And then an eyebrow raising revelation about carlins, a strange SHE said .

that they've been intimate for .

several years.

IT had been months since carlin remi rr had been found murdered at home with her infant daughter and her arms with all leads exhausted. Homicide detectives wonder if carl's death might be part of a pattern. They reached out to profiles with the FBI s behavioral analysis unit. FBI special agent JoNathan shafer would join the team.

The stories that the husband's in south CarOlina, there's no apparent likely suspects. So the first thought is zero killer, some unknown individual. That's where theyd requested the .

profiles I had. They're been any serial killers in the area that could possibly tied to this.

then? No, there wasn't. At that time.

IT was a long shot. Did this lead anywhere contacting the B. A, U.

Their opinion was that probably somebody close to heard .

did this with no obvious progress in carl's case, france began to despair.

IT scared me that caron was not never gonna get her justice.

But what they didn't know was maryland detectives and the army's criminal investigation division had been quietly collecting a massive amount of electronic information. Of course, police had initially talked to carlins, a strange and husband, malik, but his phone records had indicated he was at home five hundred miles away when carlin was murdered. But months after the'd asked for IT, police finally had not only male E E data, but the data of everyone who had been contacted from his phone.

We then requested and received information from the people that mulk was communicating with.

All their tedious digital searching paid off. IT was a development that took them in a whole new direction. Buried in malik, phone records were numerous calls and text with a woman named delis delgado, former soldier living in florida, when investigators poured over herself, one records a dramatic discovery.

We had learned that deloris was actually in south CarOlina during the time of the murder.

That phone data not only had deloris in south CarOlina, he placed her in malik's apartment complex.

This must have been a big break.

This was a huge .

break on a wednesday afternoon in march two thousand sixteen, detective hearting turned up unannounced on the lords doorstep in coco beach, florida.

Knock on the door and I say, hi, I am detective party. I'm from a anon locale, maryland. I'd like to talk to you a shocked and he was very shocked. He said about what milk and I said, yes, actually.

in an interview room at the share of office, the detective asked to lois about the night of the murder if SHE was in moike apartment and if he was with her, he admits .

that he was there that night. What happened? A .

millikin ney house.

SHE was in the living room, and he went to bed. As far he knew he was there the whole time.

Was this a sexual relationship?

He said that they're been intimate you for several years.

so she's the long time. Param.

they definite had a long relationship.

The detectives now knew one thing for sure, after talking to delis steel gotto milk, ney had lied to them about being bathed a garland for starters. But most critically about what happened the night of carlins murder.

Now someone.

if you have somebody that can account for your warehouse outs during the time of a murder, why wouldn't you offer that to us? Why would you keep that secret?

The detectives had to consider that maybe malik just didn't want to admit he was cheating on his wife with delis. They took a closer look at this girlfriend who told them SHE in milk hooked up when they were both serving in kuwait years earlier. Then, when harding admires examined deloris phone data, they learned SHE also lied about owning a gun.

He told me that he was almost ignorant about firemen in her phone. I can see that he was looking for a very particular .

firearm on her phone. There was a text that read my last three, fifty seven. I paid four hundred, so I want to stay in that range. Detective mires dove deeper into the law. Is life.

My data guy here starts going through her facebook. There is some things going .

on with firearms, some information about where he purchased firearms previously.

This is the woman who had no knowledge rearm the post LED mires here to a gunshot near deloris home. The shop had a sales receipt and a federal fireroom transaction record for a tourist 37。 Both forms were made out to the low still god, to the revolver delis bod match the calibre of gun that had killed carlin.

We saw that his gun was one of the .

ones on the list of itself. This purchase of a gun was in a smoking gun. But the detectives had to wonder why the lords would lighter them about owning a weapon. And there was something else. Mayer soon learned that delis had put a box of thirty eight calibre ammunition up for sale on facebook.

That's obviously can't say it's the same bullets, but IT match .

all the characteristics. All this loose took months, and while the detectives were working, the lis moved to san antonio, texas, into an apartment not far from mogue ney, one hundred and fifty miles west on their farm. And the rio carlins mom knew nothing about this new person of interest despite staying on the detectives.

It's me again. I just don't want you to forget my daughter because he was very much loved.

The investigation now encompass a half dozens states, but maryland detectives and FBI agents were coming in on delora .

to what were you are learning about the relationship between milky y?

And to lack of a Better term, weird IT was they were friends, their friends with benefits. They were lovers, but not really romantically involved. They were just sort of best friends with a romantic bent.

There was another weird thing, the law goto s phone was full of tax between her and malika ney that went on his phone. And what a twisted story those tax would tell.

Coming up, a tip from a complete stranger could blow the case open.

He said, one night we ve got really of a gun. I think that was your murder weapon.

IT was a bitter sweet day in August two thousand sixteen, when carbon remy's s loved ones celebrated her life on the first anniversary of her murder.

Bag gest lee detectives Kelly harding and dan mires had developed two prime suspects, carlins husband, milk arney, and is longer. Mistress delis still got to. As they studied the couple's text messages, the detectives found something curious. Mili had wiped a lot of text of his phone that still existed on the this phone. Her tex made them look at the night of carl's death in a whole new light.

We saw that they were communicating her gas mile edge. What a weird thing to do.

Not only that, they were talking gas cans as well. The detectives had delicious as bank records, which showed a purchase of this florida home deepo.

We were able to get a copy of the reset of purchase, which included two gas cans.

Finally, they saw the pieces of the puzzle coming together at the start of the case, harding and mires thought I was unlikely that malik e would have been able to travel all the way to maryland, kill carton and return undetected. But this new evidence changed.

Everything take us through what you believe happened that night.

The lord is providing all the tools, the firearm of the ammunition of vehicle, and the really the important ni abi for staying in. Using his phone.

the detective sought as an elaborate plot. Deloris was in melik apartment pretending to be him, texting on his phone and streaming his netflix account, creating an electronic while he killed carlin. This scenario explained why they didn't find malay's jawa on any license plate readers. If he did that long drive in the loris is carb and Carried extra fuel to avoid gas station security cameras, there wouldn't be any .

trace of him. So he drives straight there. You believe he kills colon, remember s relatively quickly at the mostly .

would have been there for for ten minutes .

and then turns around and and goes .

back and only stops the one time just on the roadside in a dark area to film the car and then immediately gets back in the car and continues to drive.

Thirteen months after a carlin's death, milky and the lagoda were arrested in san antonio.

Out of the blue, I get a phone call at work and they asked me if I can come to stand and tony that evening and I said for what they said, there's been an arrest in your daughter's case, but he didn't tell me who .

Susan and her husband made the long drive across west taxes.

That's when I first met a thea prosecutor. They are the ones that that told me that that muli had been arrested and up and his girlfriend.

what we've learning .

about deloris, I didn't know anything about her. SHE was no one.

SHE was no one to me. Assistant U. S. Attorneys jim warwick, can Clark met with the and milk.

I introduced myself to .

mister kerney. And you also got a chance to speak with miss dogada.

We've presented to her the fact that we had and the evidence that we had compiled against her at that point time.

After the arrest came a new lead, a tip to detective harding from an x boyfriend of deloris and florida.

He called me and sad, hey, one night I was hanging out with the loss, and we ve got rid of a gun. And he said, I think that was your murder weapon.

I mean, do you get calls like this every day? This is pretty remarkable.

I wish, but we don't.

Investigators met with the tipster in merit island fda. He said that not long after carlins murder, he ended laws. Dogada had burned some clothing and sneakers here, and that was an all.

He told them he destroyed a revolver for her, dismantled IT, and that the two of them, through the pieces of the gun off this peer, an FBI dive team out of miami, was soon on the scene. The water was gin clear that day, and diverse found forensic sunken treasure. They're on the bottom, rusted, covered with seaweed and encrusted with barnacles or the pieces of a handgun.

The parts were rushed to the FBI crime lab in quango Virginia. Deadline was given rare access to the FBI world renowned crime lab. In his first ever interview, firearms expert bret mills told us how we examined and reconstructed the weapon. First, he carefully cleaned the frame of the gun.

When I finished cleaning IT, there was no serial number there from my reference collection. I knew where the serial number should be.

IT was gone because delgado's x boyfriend had grounded IT away, totally obliterated IT or so. He thought mills had a plan we call .

a syrian number restoration. There are still compressed layers underneath that still has that impression of the serial number. Using acid, we can restore that number. He .

demonstrated the process on a gun from the FBI collection.

Once you've polished IT, you go in and you literally start peeling the layers back with the acid until the number actually is visible.

Amazing how IT just reappears. Serial number.

Sometimes that does. Other, other times you might not be able to restore any time number.

All there was another way to determine if they have found the murder weapon. Mills would try to match the telltale markings on the bullets that killed carton to the gun from the river.

These fine straps that you see are the equivalent of a human fingerprint.

But there was no way the recovered weapon, whatever, fire again. So mills removed its barrel, gently cleaned IT and attached IT to a working revolvah for a test firing. He demonstrated that process with a similar revolver.

Mills was able to do six test firings with the recovered gun. Everything he found was added to the evidence. Now prosecutors would have to see if that would hold up when the defense point in the finger at someone else in baltimore federal court.

Coming up, trial begins. Could a major twist tip this case?

I was right before Christmas.

so like an early Christmas present?

yes. And then the verdict and the emotion will fall out.

In August of two thousand and eighteen, maliki's trial began in federal court in volt mom, he was charged with inner state travel for the purpose of domestic violence resulting in death. The trial would be the culmination of a three year investigation that had gathered thousands of pieces of electronic and physical evidence in an extraordinary forensic effort. Prosecutors jim warwick and can Clark want a jurors to see my carney, not as a super star army sergeant, but as a killer, a soleless executioner who took carlin's life because he wanted to divorce him and endangered his baby daughter by leaving her and her dead mother's arms.

He was used to getting what he wanted. Relationships could end with milli carney, but they had to end on his terms.

The government showed jurors their digital evidence.

There was a tremendous amount of electronic data, including text messages and photo SHE .

shared with mr. Carney, including photos delis at sent millie of her cause of domestic, demonstrate its driving range and critical correspondence about what they said was the murder weapon.

One particular text message was very important. He's testifying the gun, and he texts her saying, this gun is so darn loud.

This was part of the prosecutors plan to put the Louis gun in molik s hands. FBI firearms expert bret mills told jurors about the results of that serial number restoration test he did on the gun recovered from the river.

I wound up pulling up all but one of the digits IT wounded up. Matching the billa sale for a dogdom purchase of the revolver is like .

a bingo moment when you put this stuff to the test and IT works.

finding out that the number I restored was basically the exact same one that was on her billion of laden was that was awesome.

And mills had something else to tell the jury. Remember, he'd done a test firing like this one through the barrel of the recovered gun.

And what happened when you testify those bullets and compared them to those bullets from the crime scene.

and we did comparison from the victim, and we identify those three bullets as having been fired from that revolved that .

was recovered from the creek. The prosecutors introduced that interrogation video of .

milk arney this morning. I love her love for that.

We did that so that the jury would realize that he was being untruthful.

And there was something on the tape that prosecutors wanted to be sure. Jurors noticed .

incredibly stupidity. He never actually asked how to my wife die.

But the U. S. Tourneys knew their case would hinge on whether jurors, their star witness lis still gotta, had agreed to CoOperate three months after her arrest.

IT was right before Christmas.

too. Oh, so was like an early Christmas present.

Early Christmas present for two thousand sixteen? yes.

Prosecutors argued that malick, longer mistress, would do anything for him on the stand. SHE backed that up. Delis testified about how he gave malik her gun, her car, those gas cans, even pat him a sandwich for the drive and provided him with that crucial electronic alii .

in your directive. Delagoa A U. You said molk wasn't home that night, was he? And he answered, no. Was at the the beginning of the end .

for his alive. IT is placing him at a location other than where his phone was. Was critical for this case.

The prosecution rested, the defense argued, the government had proven nothing. They argued someone else did IT that maybe jurors should take a closer look at the government star witness deloris dog to, after all, IT was her gun disposed of by her x boyfriend that killed carlin. And with carlin out of the way, she's had malik alter herself.

Molise lawyers showed the jury a text from deloris to a friend sent before carlins murder. Crazy bitch is gonna a be put out. But the jurors didn't buy IT. They quickly found mi kerney guilty. Carlin's mother had been in court every day.

How did that feel? Hearing, hearing?

I was so glad, because with the guilty verdict, I don't have to worry that i'm going to have any dealings with him.

At his sentencing, the judge called militari a predator and sentence him to life, plus another ten years. On top of that, delos GTA was sentenced to seventeen years for her part .

in the crime. Why do you think miley carney and delois gotto did this?

I think milker ney killed carlin because he was the first woman in his life that was willing and able to stand up to him and he couldn't handle that as far the lauris SHE was upon to carney that he would just kind of do whatever um he said IT was .

Today, the remember ous family and carlins friends are focused on raising veil and .
