Here's josh mako s with the dead of night.

IT was the dead of night, and he ran as fast as he could, frightened, panic, wearing next to nothing. SHE climbed over the iron gate, crowded on the door and begged for help. Who was this woman? What or who was SHE running from? Would he make .

IT out alive?

Munro via california, a quint family friendly city nettled in the footage of the ruggedly san Gabriel mountains, one of the many suburbs of los Angeles. IT was the ideal landing spot for thirty one year old lady coy SHE worked hard to get here.

He was the only one in my family actually went to college, where he did been based by single mother for .

David Clark and his wife, a alesha, their niece, la joy's. Success always seemed within her reach.

SHE knew what he wanted, and education was the her very tough thing.

you know. And school is where legia, a star student, would shine the brightest.

I want to a couple of graduations down the university, and I could have been more .

proud for the joy. Education was a gift to share with others, like her Younger sister, briana.

growing up poor, although he didn't feel like IT, sometimes he just wanted Better for herself in for the rest of us.

When will join us? Mom and Younger siblings left california and moved the law vegas. The joy stayed behind and strengthen the bond SHE had with her .

and uncle I knew was .

unconditional love for me. Once he told me, oca, dave, I think you should run for mayor. Wow, he really .

think spiring actor and play right. Things got serious. They moved in together and had two children. That relationship did not last, but lazy, and they were devoted to their kids and committed to compared ting. And legia continued to pursue her dreams.

Yeah, that's one thing about her. He never gave up, you know, he was very determined.

He always kept evolving.

La joya had a good job with L. A. County as an auditor. He also opened her own clothing boutique and was developing a smartphone APP and SHE .

was just moving for SHE, enjoyed her job, loved IT. And you know, when he started her botin e that I don't think. And where SHE did not as time to do these days, you know.

the jay's good friend of mendoza visited the batik e and understood why success was critical for legalize.

What he wanted to do was definitely be her own boss to spend more time with her kids. SHE just wanted them to have like .

the best life he was learning .

the piano two baby. SHE was also teaching .

what he learned to her kids.

Loja was spreading her wings, but was he also spreading herself too thin? Even though he shared childcare duties with those? A SHE needed a helping hand.

So joy called her mom and last vegas and ask her to have one of luji's sisters come out to california to help watch the kids. The next day, the vagus bus pulled into L. A.

Almost an hour late. The joys sister stepped off the bus and did not see the joya who was supposed to meter her uncle. David then got a .

call me was at work and he is crying.

IT was his sister. The joy is mom.

The joy didn't show up and she's like, i'm worry because he knew he was coming and .

he actually sent for you call you no answer exactly your texting. She's not at home. no. David left work to collect his Younger neath. He was perplexed.

I was hoping he just was somewhere and would show up and say, you know what, i'm sorry, I was doing this or doing that just lost .

track of time. And you know and we do that just like I says, he was .

juggling .

the butin e the work and I am according .

to social media, the joya might have been juggling something else just a week before he had posted a message on facebook that read, okay, he made me breakfast and has a roof up pool. He's a keeper. The man in the photograph, David and alysia, had no clue when .

I seen that, i'm like, okay, she's back in a relationship. I'm hoping this one is a good one.

The way the pitch looked unlike, what is the record producer or you? I know what he did, but maybe they took a flight somewhere.

I don't know. One day past, then two days, still no sign of logia. On friday, june twelve, two thousand and fifteen, her mom called the monrovia police department.

I'm thinking that he might be sick or unconstant in our apartment.

SHE was worried because he knew things about legia. The police did not. Coming up what .

legia have been telling friends.

he goes, I think somebody y's breaking into my facebook.

Even scarier was someone breaking into her house SHE was.

I know for sure that i'm leaving some stuff somewhere and when i'm coming home is somewhere else.

June twelve, two thousand and fifteen was a summer friday in monrovia, california. Families gathered at the local street fair, leaving their hectic work weeks behind them. Not so for summer, a long nightmare was about to begin. Her daughter, the joy, a coy, wasn't answering calls or text, and now summer was on the phone .

to police. I haven't heard for my daughter. Is great for many .

departments. That call is as routine as they come. Adult children don't always check in with their parents. Then summer shared this to keep .

telling who that your parent was like a few days before, like, and over the weekend, nobody a little bit. So that was making concerted and see what we can find out. okay. Oh, thank you so much. Time on just so worry.

Lajous mom was one of the few people who knew about her daughters closely guarded secret. SHE believed someone was stalking her. La joya also told her friend ever, I was always.

always worried about her.

The joy had just broken up with her. A when SHE and never became friends.

IT was a whole new world. SHE opened up her protege. SHE started going to the beach and bikini. SHE had gone to europe. SHE was going out dancing at night.

Eva says the joya loved her new freedom and was starting to date again.

Very beautiful, very beautiful. So SHE SHE never had a problem. I live when he was with me, with guys coming up to her and trying to get her number with their .

guys that he was going out with, that you were worried about, that you didn't trust me.

everybody. I had interest.

eighty guy. The joy rekindled old flames and started new ones, often posting about them on facebook, like this guy lose her walls, a friend from her past he had reconnected with.

SHE is like, I feel like, you know, merits like a life partner turned .

out that wasn't loser. They did remain friends. And according to ever, the joy's dating life rarely bloss into anything serious. Something seems to be holding her back.

He goes, I think somebody is breaking into my facebook I also think somebody y's breaking into my house and I think, huh what what makes you think that he goes? I know if I know for sure that i'm leaving some stuff somewhere and when i'm coming home, it's .

somewhere else the you just .

moved around, you know, it's easy to forget you know where you leave things, so misplace things. You know, I told her that happens to all of us. I think you're just a little stress now.

The joy was missing after her mom called monrovia pd. They went to the joya apartment.

Blinds were drawn. They couldn't see in the windows. Check the door, door was locked.

Sergeant chat harvey was a detective back in two thousand fifteen. He says patrol officers found the joy's apartment locked and secure.

could not find anything suspicious, anything out of the Normal, and everything looked Normal at the time, so they went ahead and contacted la joy's mother and told her nothing seems peculiar and lifted .

at that is mom wasn't alone that night. Police heard from other worried friends and .

family detector and last night, and he did not respond. I have an report that, having reported toward officers.

went back for a second look.

they started talking to some neighbors. Nothing really seemed out of the ordinary again.

Police called the joy az X O Z Turner, the father of their two children. He said the last time he saw a joya was the previous weekend when he dropped off the kids at her place. A few days later, he picked up the kids as usual. Police also called the joy's cellphone Carrier, who told them the joyous sale was active that day when lajos mom heard that SHE told police he would hold off on filing amazing person's report. Maybe the joy would contact her.

so we wait a few days.

As friday night drew to a close, news about the joy's disappearance was already making the rounds. Joe sister brian, I heard IT .

from her grandmother. SHE said IT very too long. He just told me that logi hasn't talked to my mom in a few days, and me knowing the joya, I felt like maybe he just wants some space. IT wasn't uncommon for her to like, disconnect from time to time.

Ever remember the conversation sheet had with a week before .

he told me that he wanted to, you know, just escape SHE found a place like a retreat and arizona, no cell phones, whatever, meditation and what night? I think I A .

idea to gather thoughts to think. Earlier that week, she'd gone a happy hour with her friend burn, a debt who sometimes helped out with lazio's clothing boutique. They talked about the joy's decision to closer store due to financial problems. Despite that setback, berta that said, he didn't see any signs laya wanted to escape, unplug or vanish.

Things are okay now because he closed the store. So now he has that stress off of her. He is very positive about the future.

SHE even posted this video of herself dancing in the boutique just days before the doors closed for good. So where was he? The joy er's brother called loser, even though they'd never met to ask if heat heard from the joy. In fact, he had loser told him. But that was a few days ago, after that call user said he went by a joy's apartment.

I want to see if i've seen her car out there, but I didn't can. Our parking space was like in a bag and like to desire right there.

So luca said he didn't knock on her door. IT has now been nearly a week since the joy had gone silent with a clock ticking loudly in her head. Lagediak s mom, again called police officers, made a third trip to lugeac s apartment, and this time they forced their way in. And what they found was a crime .

scene coming up.

I noticed that there's bloodstains on the carpet.

What had happened and where was the joy? The answer just might, beyond video.

a neighbor put up a motion camera that amErica faced at the perfect position.

The streets were quiet that warm summer afternoon in mono ova inside the joan a cos apartment, IT was quiet too.

I went in through the window. I yelled who I was, you for the laa. No answer.

Detective harvey opened the front door for his partner.

As we did, we entered, still announcing our presence. Nobody was inside.

What's that look like in there?

It's clean, doesn't look like anything out of the Normal some closed line around just Normal everyday things.

They in the where IT didn't look Normal at all.

I notice that there's bloodstains on the carpet. I then noticed blood stains on the mattress and blood Better on the wall.

And all of the joy az bedding was gone and she's missing. Well, you been doing this a while. What are the odds that that person who was missing is still alive?

We like to think that they are. We don't know that they aren't.

La county, a small department like monrovia, often turns to sheriff department for a possible murder case like this one. That evening, detective edy Brown and his partner were on call.

We get called from our residence, and we goes right to the location.

Browns scand, the joyous apartment.

The kids room was totally to shovel. The jaws were taken out, some of them more on the floor. Some of them were partially open. Clothing material was on the floor, looked a mess.

The joyous car was gone, and detectives noticed her person phone were missing due. Had someone robed the apartment and taken the joy with them, detective Brown didn't think so.

There was no force century.

or somebody can push their way in.

If he did that, why would he take the bed sheet? If something didn't occur?

If this is a pushing and bad guy and he disables who our kills are, he's going to leave right there. He's going to steal what he's going to steal and liver right there on to take your body right. Brown believe the most likely scenario was that someone staged the scene to look like a robbery, which meant the joy was probably the target.

because the woman's bed sheet were gone, which I believe that was used to transport her out of the house. So SHE was either knocked out.

unconscious or dead. The apartment also smelled like bleach.

which tells me that someone probably try to clean the crime scene.

And then came a lead. Was there a video record of what had happened?

A neighbor directly across from her apartment was having a problem with some petty theft. So he decided to put up a motion camera, and the type of camera that IT has to be activated by a sensor. So an animal, a person walking by, and that camera was faced at the perfect position.

Investigators downloaded the neighbor's video. You know.

usually get that lucky. No, that's why I was very excited about this camera, especially when I started watching the video, because you can see the door clear as there is .

a bill Brown watched that video for hours.

I keep playing in the over over open to see her being Carried out of that apart.

That's what he wanted to see, but IT wasn't there.

her doors too far away for the motion to activate camera.

So you're lucky.

but your own. Yeah, I needed a cat to walk there. That's just the right time, just the right time.

No cat, and still no logia coy police put out a bullet ton for a silver toyota camra, the joyous car. And hours after the alert went out, a patrol officer found IT not far from her apartment park in a residential neighborhood. A parking ticket had been waged into the door frame, and there was something inside .

the passenger and drivers. Windows were tended.

The officer took a closer look, and he thought .

IT was a body .

coming up.

I just felt like my world had ended.

Joys, loved ones get terrible news. And investigators make a discovery .

is to make body set up a little ler in this all .

that's a red flag for us.

Less than two miles from the joy mccoy apartment SAT her silver toyota amy IT had been parked beneath the summer sun for who knows how many days inside, beneath a blanket was a female body. She's on the passenger side .

of the drivers side, which tells us clearly that the perpetrator drove to this location. SHE had ligature mark around her neck.

News spread quickly. A candle vigil was held at the jiao apartment. Nbc station.

K. N, B, C. Was there throughout the night. More and more gathered word spread. The joy mccoy was not missing anymore.

I just felt like my world had ended. There was tough.

Her and an uncle kept hoping IT was all some kind of mistake.

not gonna her. They're gone to say she's okay or with somebody else.

You know, she's a mother, she's sister. She's a daughter who would wanna do this to her? I, I, I is couldn't understand that .

they couldn't think of anyone who had an issue with the joya, except maybe the father of her children who was a dinner .

SHE moved on. And I think he didn't like that.

According to alesia, huz would sometimes do things to spite legia, like the time he pick up the kids from the youth center. Without letting the joy know about IT. He's just kind of .

be a pain to jerk, yes, a jerk trying to make her a mad here.

And he was definitely, I know I had to be some envy.

berna. det. Thought the same.

I believe that he and became very jealous of legia after a while because her life was going .

somewhere and his kind wasn't right.

I believe he was an inspiring actor that really wasn't getting many offers.

And there was something else that bothered David and alysia the day after Laura didn't show up to meet her Younger sister at the bus station, who they showed up at their house with the kids. And during that visit they say, not once did he say, ask about legia, no. Or what was going on between them. That's the mother .

of his kids, yes, and that's why I didn't understand IT like what you, that selfish of a person.

Of course, detective eddy Brown heard all these stories about O, A, including a comment whose they had made to the monrovia pd. The second time they called him, while the joy was still missing.

mister Turnery said, i'm going to stop answering any questions and you can talk to my lawyer.

It's going to make everybody sit up little, little.

And that's a red flag for us. yes.

Well, there was another side. The hose to my divine was a journalist and aspiring filmmaking ker who got to know how, say, and legia.

I remember seeing loa and say, with their kids together. And I was like, oh, my, I wished that, you know, I was cool, calm and collected like these guys are. There was kindness there.

huz respected lajos, said tami and detective Brown knew that just because he z had climb ed up, that didn't mean he was a killer.

We didn't zero in on him and we can't initially an investigation. Everybody is the suspect. We look at everything you know and everybody.

Started coming into police, one from a local chiropractor who'd seen the news reports about legia. He told the text he meet the joy and a friend of her at a restaurant about a week earlier. Turns out that was the night burn.

A debt was out with legia. Detectives reveal the restaurant security cameras and there was the cara tractor he's seen talking with legia and later leaving the restaurant. Legia and her friend leave a couple of minutes later.

Don't look like anybody y's following her and SHE doesn't look like she's having trouble with anybody on her way out of the restaurant, on her way to car. So whatever i'm done happened there, curate the corporate or was one of the last people to see the joy alive. But his story was caborn by what detective saw on the security cameras. He was nothing more than a helpful citizen. And then there was something legia had left behind, something in her own words.

We locate her journals. Her journals tell us a lot. We find out that there was a boyfriend sh'd had before.

and there was a new man he was falling for.

And I read, reading that he had met somebody in, that he was looking forward to seeing him again.

Was IT the man and he had posted about on facebook just days before he went missing. Detectives needed more.

And we do a warn on our phone. We do get the return on our phone.

The joyous cell phone record showed that on the evening he was out with berna debt. The last time the joyo was seen alive, SHE was texting with someone. And the last person to be in contact with legia was not as a journal. no.

Coming up, investigators head back to the scene of the crime, hoping to smoke out a suspect.

And I did that on purpose, that location, so that he would be uncomfortable.

And then they spring their trap.

Like, do you have a suspect? I said, yes, and he said, who and I said, you.

In any modern day criminal investigation, a person's digital footprint can be as valuable as their actual fingerprints. Unfortunately, in this case, the joy of mccoy cell phone was nowhere to be found. IT last page several miles away from her home.

And there's a .

lot of this, there's a lot of never find the phone, never find the phone or the bedding or her purse. nothing. Detectives were able to obtain the joyce cell phone records.

They discovered the cell number that the joy last tested belongs to her x was a Turner and not to the new guy with the roof out pool, but to the joyous friend lose her walls. The guy who'd helpfully driven by her apartment to check on her, like the joy, a loser, owned a butin e. Brown. And his partner found him.

There we are speaking with mister walls, first name luther. correct? correct.

He said that they had been involved romantically, but now they were just france. correct? My experience is that when guys say that, what they mean is I wanted to be involved romantically and he wanted to be just friends.

Yeah, that's ably. That's what I do you know out of that too, but I didn't want to push that.

Luca knew what was coming.

I was going pretty go to text messages. And I knew right along the last text messages, SHE said .

loser had kept the text he'd received from the joy, and he shared them with detective Brown.

You've got a good job of loser. I did, you know, doing this job for a long time. You can tell generally, when someone's line and he .

is going to be like, not at all. Detectives came to believe luca walls had nothing to do with the joyous murder you can tell by his phone that he wasn't at her apartment. correct? Instead, looser helped detect was was an understanding of what was going on with legia just prior to her disappearance, because luca had heard some of the same stories the joy had told her. Mom and her friend ever SHE .

have expressed concerns that someone could .

be stock in her.

And who was that?

He never told me exactly who, even without a name, Lucy did know exactly who the joy was talking about.

SHE did tell me, if somebody to do something, tell me, check her baby daddy.

And that was hose Turner.

He tell me that he was abused like he didn't really going to details, but he did him. He was abusive. I think he was more like A A control in a relationship.

Luther also told detectives that the joy believed he. They had a lockSmith make a key to her apartment. Well, SHE wasn't there.

I believe her six sense of fear was kicking in. Knew he was in danger. He knew he was in danger.

Yes, he knew, just not in time.

correct? Which unfortunately seen that OCR a lot in my career.

And perhaps this was about the time in the investigation when hosea Turners sixth sense was kicking in because he, they picked up the phone and called monrovia pd, the call was recorded.

I wants to be able .

to give up something. So that is, is this .

possible kids games and things? He said that we're still in the jay's apartment. Monrovia pd told her to call the detectives, and when Brown's phone ring, he saw an opportunity.

I want to get I keep close or along if that's not .

well understood ah but yeah but we need to talk you about your whatever happened .

to your x the babies baby's money .

you're not you're not. You're not concerned .

about IT, the .

detective .

told he said he would be happy to meet with him.

What I don't know, one thirty at the the apartment.

And I did .

that on purpose, that location um so that he would be uncomfortable.

And so they met at the scene of the crime. So when you meet them, they're how they same .

like a suspect .

detective Brown had a surprise for house he would hand over the kid's things, sure, but he wanted something in return.

But I also was going to get a DNA swap from him, and I told him that, and I showed him .

the paperwork, which was a search warrant. And here we are.

and here's our swap. So open your mouth exactly.

Brown also had a question for A I said.

how come you have and asked anything about the a you don't you don't want to know about the investigation or anything. And oh yes, so yeah he said.

bring that up. I do.

Yeah, he's like, what do you have a suspect? I said yes and he said, who and I said, you they submitted .

who's a Turners DNA to the lab and they weighed I while the joy is family and friends mourned.

IT was a very hard, very hard sitting there. IT shouldn't have happened. We shouldn't have been at her funeral.

And at the funeral with the joyous kids was whose dinner to see .

and there was disturb.

just something like nothing. Nothing happened, like nothing.

David analyse knows something had happened. They'd seen IT with their .

own eyes coming up an ery conversation. IT was .

like I was speaking with put .

a single phone call crack this case.

That's the most increase. yes.

Passed in the california April two thousand and thirteen IT was closed at two A M. David analytica were jailed at awake.

Just heard some frantic banging, banging IT grew .

louder first.

we think, and maybe is the police, and then maybe somebody trying to break in.

Someone was pounding on their front door. David got off to see who IT was.

Then we just hear uncle David.

yeah, i'm like, who is.

Remember the desperate woman at the start of our story that was logia ding at our end of uncle doorstep, half naked and terrified.

immediately seen the wishes dressed and crying, and y'd had to do with him.

him meaning hoa Turner. David pulled his knees inside as SHE wept.

I've never in my life seen her that way, and for her to come the way he did, I mean, I have a wall is probably ly three feet tall in front of department of building. And then he has to cast iron rods with points on a tip. SHE jumped over that to get to my place to get away from you.

joy said SHE. And how they were arguing when who they suddenly turned violent.

SHE said, I just came out the bathroom and he just flipped out.

He said he was a choker, and he found the strength to hit back.

Then he went down and he ran out the door.

Entire la joy ran to her and and okay s home and roommates ally anyway, SHE never looked back. SHE dumped OA moved on with her life. At least that was the plan. Two years later the joya was murdered and now her uncle couldn't understand how who's a Turner was still a free man.

You know, you started Kevin doubt like this isn't gonna resolved and you d need closure.

That's when detective Brown heard from the crime lab. A I tested the DNA found on the joyaunce AR and under her finger nails against the swap Brown had taken from hoa IT was enough of a match to make an arrest. That's amazing increase. yes.

Jail tonight in temple city, forty seven year old hose Roberta Turner arrested this morning on suspicion of killing his x girlfriend, thirty one year old .

legia marcoy mom summer found IT hard to accept her .

mom didn't wants anna believe IT, of course, because that's the, that's her grandchild's father.

No one wants to .

believe that, least of all a woman who came forward to say that long before join a coy SHE knew exactly what hose Turner was .

capable love was so good for tiny.

where in when we go in public, everything is wonderful. He's manner, he's respectfully good, and we can hold me is a monster.

Her name was Adrian, who was his x girlfriend from years ago. SHE came forward when he learned how they had been arrested. Detective Brown recorded her interview.

He beat me so bad. I ran at the house. Nick, you see, he kept me. Nick, I had to stay neck that way. You don't go at the house.

For Adrian, a story was like a bad memory.

I feel sick. I could be me.

and, you know, I could mean me.

I was like, I was speaking with just a.

the stories were that similar? Yes.

in summer two thousand and .

seventeen house, they went on trial for the joy's murder.

When you take this to a jury, you want to be able to prove IT beyond any .

possible doubt. Veteran prosecutor fernanda barto said the evidence was overwhelming. A blood soaked note found in the joyous car in her own writing, documenting hoses stocking that red.

I get a flat tire after he says he's in my area. Z Turners DNA at the scene of the crime, plus the jury heard from rose's former girlfriend Adrian, whose own story echoed lajoie. And there was one more thing. Those items missing from lugeac apartment detectives found them in house's car, along with this, a Green notebook with notes in houses writing.
