The first thing you have to know about mala moni is that he was punched to a fault. Larry bony was her boss. I'm telling you.

if he was a minute late, SHE called up SHE .

was somebody.

You could come absolutely work card all day. And if you had to stay late, that was not a problem.

IT was August six, one thousand nine hundred ninety nine, a mugging summer morning in wilmington, north CarOlina. A that was the day Melissa was five minutes late. Her coworkers were surprised. Where was their office manager? After all, they'd come in early to help her move into a new house, the first home she's ever owned.

SHE real excited about this. I mean, this was a real big event in her life.

IT was a real big event for a reason. And this is the second thing you have to know about. Millia moni, he had a four year old daughter named Samantha, whom he adored.

Melissa was moving to the house on reminders road to give sami a big bedroom and a backyard. Debby was malicious. Older sister, what would you like around Sammy?

They were best friends, and they were always on the same page. IT was pretty neat.

and SHE clearly had a strong bond with her colleagues at work. So when fifteen minutes went by on that August morning without a call from Melissa, everyone was taken a back. Where was he worried?

Yes, even after only fifteen minutes, SHE didn't want to take too much of our time. He wanted to get IT done early.

They called her numbers. No answer. So her coworking, paul cox drove a malicious new house in a brand new subdivision. Her car was in the driveway. Then cox saw the front door.

There is a noticeable footprint, clearly in a dirt pattern on the door.

like somebody kicked .

the door exactly.

Cox called malicious number again. He could hear her phone ringing inside the house. No answer and no sign of her. By now, cox was concerned, and he called Larry bony.

and he said, here we got a problem.

IT looked bad and bonny knew IT. He told cox to go inside.

I was calling her name and calling samyang name to. And as I get to the back bedroom at that point, I see her on the floor.

Melissa, naked body was in the far corner lying by a bear mattress. Could you tell how she's been killed at that point? Now shot cocks back, back out of the house, back through the jumble of a move in progress. Cox was still calling Sandy's name, though they'd soon find out that Sandy was safe staying elsewhere during the move. No one else in the house.

No one else in house at that point .

look like they are benefited.

I did notice there was a photo on the floor that was shared red outside.

Cox worked the phones, talk to the new hanover county sheriff office and the state bureau investigation.

Initially, you just kind of on automatic pilot.

The toughest call of all was to his boss and said.

she's here. She's dead.

IT was a heartbreaking loss. Their beloved office manager gone at the age of twenty eight, just like that. For bunny IT was especially hard. You almost maybe Peter nal fear about her.

And so yeah, that hurts.

Everyone in the office was hurting crag. Actually, another colleague.

We were in a small office. We felt like a family, and he was a family member.

But not just any family because and this is the third thing you have to know about moleson. Moni SHE was the office manager for the FBI in wilmington, paul cox and craig g. Agley were special agents, and Larry body was agent in charge on this August morning, the bureau had lost one of its own guys are both trained professionals. I'm guessing, however, that finding the body of somebody that you knew and worked with and cared about made this little bit different.

We watched out for each other, so we felt those emotions, as well as the emotions you feel as an investigator on the case.

This is first Thomas tly, new victim with .

the new handover county sheriff office in charge and the state bureau investigation joining in, millis colleagues began to put their feelings aside and work the case we had tremendous .

about of work to do in a very short period of time.

That day, bony and his agents made IT their mission to hunt down malicious killer and .

define him quick and get him into the justice system.

Molests boss couldn't know if then, but an arrest would take years. By the time to finally happened, Larry bony would be retired, the killer's identity would surprise everyone, and investigators would track that person for years playing a bizarre game of cat and mouse. But on that hot August morning, Larry bonny knew only this. There was a fresh crime scene to work, and he quickly realized malicious killer was both strong and angry.

SHE was half on the mattress and half on the floor, kind of over in the far corner of the room.

So this is a violent, sudden attack.

absolutely. And he was tough. I mean, he would have fought so somebody really overpowered her.

What on earth had happened at thirty one eight reminds road they would learn that Melissa, seen on store security tape, had been running errands hours before the murder. Around ten pm, SHE made a phone call. Her last one, SHE was strangled between eleven P. M. And four that day as crime scene investigators decembers coxon ley canvas.

the told police, said there is a man at home, man at a residence on the street, because I saw a washing is truck. So let's start there.

They did and took notes. Did he see anything, hear anything to tell me about that interview?

He stated he had never seen her, had been spoken to her.

had never been in home. The agents moved on at the crime scene. Larry body already had a gut feeling about the killer. What are your first thoughts as that investigation begin?

对。

In pennsylvania, millis parents came to the same conclusion.

I A Roger.

right away.

right away.

Roger moni, malicious x husband, a marine with a temper, the father of her daughter. And this is the fourth thing you have to know about milestone. I, her family says SHE was terrified of him.

The mom, she's gonna do .

me and I know.

IT was August nineteen ninety nine. FBI office may manager malisa muni had been found dead in her home willing to north CarOlina, a suburb, and her FBI colleagues were looking for answers. But malicious family stand and grieving thought they had this mystery solved.

The first thing I said is.

where's Roger is boss shared their suspicions. But why? What was IT about Roger moony? The answer is wrapped in the details of the couples five year marriage.

Because to no Roger, you first have to know Melissa. As a girl from the pennsylvania coal country, Melissa was quiet, a reader, but older sister debby says he was no push over most. I grown up .

and always seemed to be me in my brother against her, like SHE could hold her own.

Steve n. Melissa was and quite capable of keeping a secret like the bomb shell SHE dropped at home when he .

graduated from high school at seventeen. I didn't even know he was taking a task.

Melissa had taken and past the entrance exam for a clerical job at the FBI, all on the cut. And he said, I want to go to washington and I want to work for the FBI.

I mean, she's never been washington, but he was moving there.

He did well at the FBI. SHE also learned to have fun in the city. And that worried her big sister.

MC was like a magnet for just the wrong guys.

the wrong ones, as in argumentation. You know, melias family first heard the name Roger moony in nineteen and ninety four. He was a marine working in washington. At first, the two were just roommates. Then suddenly they were way more than that.

Then SHE called me and told me we going out together. And the next time he called me, he tells gonna get marry. Well, then he found out he was pregnant.

Is that why you get married?

Yeah, yeah.

They got married in late ninety four, a civil ceremony in their living room. Roger had been married before, and the gala des weren't happy about any of IT. They still hadn't ever met their new sun and law. I'm guessing this was not the guy you would always dreamed of marrying your daughter.

No, no.

And once malicious parents finally did meet Roger, they didn't like the way he treated their daughter. He was like, well, you're going to have my kid. You're going to be careful and pregnant for the rest of our marriage.

Samantha was born on july fourth, one thousand ninety five. And for a while her family says life was good. But then Roger received the transfer he covered to cama zuo, north CarOlina. IT was one thousand nine ninety six. The muni family was on the move.

He was happy to be an order. SHE liked the area. SHE liked the people.

Mesa landed a job at the fb office in wilmington, about an hours drive from campaldino une. And under Larry bunny, SHE flourished. But if things were going well at the office, they were falling apart at home. Her new boss would hear Melissa arguing on the phone with Roger often about who would care for Young sami.

Sami was kind of a pingpong g ball between the two of them who is going to responsible when not a happy marriage, not a happy marriage. SHE didn't take any gun from him, and he didn't take much gun from her.

Then one day, melisa arrived for work with a Bruce on her face. Her boss asked an explanation. Melissa said SHE and Roger had been arguing. He said.

I was not that matter, room so I was done with. And he moved me aside so he could leave the room. He said, I fell against the door.

IT sounded like the kind of story battered women routinely tell to explain their injuries, but boney says Melissa convinced him that was the extent of IT. SHE did admit he wanted to end the marriage, and bony, unusually protective of his Young employee, found her an apartment close to the office. He also had a warning for Roger.

I wanted him to understand that he was that close to the office to where we all lived, and he had our numbers.

The divorce went through in April of one thousand nine hundred ninety nine, but the two were still battling over child's support. Melissa wanted more money from Roger and went to court to get IT. SHE asked her boss to accompany her. Millis mom said her daughter called home around that time and told her he was terrified of what Roger might do.

He told, you're never gonna a penny of my money. never. And he stormed out of there, and SHE was deathly afraid.

Within weeks, molester mooney was dead and her x husband was everyone's favorite suspect. IT seemed an open and shot case, but as everyone would learn, IT was not.

When millions a moni was murdered near wilmington, north CarOlina a in August one thousand and ninety nine, the obvious suspect was her x husband, Roger, a marine based at nearby camp l assume Larry bonny was malicious boss at the FBI. I called .

up one of my agents. I tell the poor rider in and start talking to him what .

he did molest. s. FBI. Colleagues knew she's had a troubled relationship with her. X, and agents would soon hear about a chilling prediction Melissa had made to a girlfriend if i'm killed, SHE said. Roger did IT. What does Roger say when he's told with your ex wife and she's dead shocked .

and surprised?

But investigators knew that didn't mean he was innocent.

Know somebody has all night to think about some is going to come and talk to me because of the husband. We had a contention for relationship. He's got time to come up with the story.

When Roger mooney was questioned that first day, the FBI says he CoOperated, but he was angry, said he didn't know a thing about IT his a alibi. He said he was at home near the base about seventy miles away. His roommate left for work around ten pm, and Rogers says he went to bed shortly after his daughter Sammy, a sleep beside him. And as for malicious new house, Roger, he'd never been there. I'm guessing that interrogation is not terribly friendly.

He was not, and there was no question in his mind that he was a target.

Roger mooney may have been the primary target, but he wasn't the only one. Investigators would look at other men in malicious life. At least one was married with reason to hide an affair.

Each was scrutinize zed and then ruled out. Investigators looked at anyone with a possible motive, but they found nothing. Roger moony stayed at the top of the list as investigators tried to either make a case against him or rule him out.

Is a brace of personality, his anger issues and everything else surrounding Roger monia. There is a relationship with his x wife that made him a suspect.

Just because you have a contentious relationship with someone doesn't mean that when they do turn up dead that you can help them.

absolutely. But what I will do is make you a suspect right away. And IT did with .

raja moy Rogers, car and home were searched, exhaustive vely. His friends, family, past girlfriends, high school teachers all questioned. We literally .

turned Roger monies world outside now.

They talked to his marine bodies and heard about something Roger had said at target practice.

He made a statement, well, if I had put my wife pitcher up there, I shoot expert.

In other words, if I had a photo of my x wife to use for target practice.

i'd be Better.

That's the text to the statement.

And IT was clear, malicious killer had been angry and strong, angry enough to kick in the door, strong enough to overpower a woman using his bare hands.

What we found significant amount malicious injuries, is what we didn't find. We didn't find many defensive loans and says if he was rendered absolutely helpless by her .

attacker then David is the district attorney in north CarOlina as new hanover county. His twin brother john was the assistant D. A. When we spoke, the David were not in office when millican was murdered, but they spent years on the case.

IT was an intimate attack, struggling the life out of a nude woman in the bed of our own home.

What was IT sexual? There was no DNA on her body. They kept looking and found a crime scene crammed with evidence, including dozens of hairs. That wasn't surprising since Melissa new house had been on the market, plenty of potential buyers have been through. But one person's genetic signature stood out.

Roger moon's DNA, his semon was on the mattress, and his hair was also at our crime scene, and he claim never to be at this house.

IT was direct physical evidence, which seemed to put Roger moni at the scene of the crime. He says to his friends, i'd be Better at target practice. My wife face was on the target, SHE says to her friends, if I ever get killed as Roger, he has an idea, but it's pretty far from my own clad and a hair of his turns up in the house and he never lived in that house. Aren't there people on death row for less?

There's no question we had probable cause to arrest them.

And what you just described, the theory, was that after his roommate left for war grade your garden, his car drove the seventy miles to malicious house, kicked in the door killer, then turned around a drove seventy miles home in time to get his daughter to the baby center at five fifteen, and himself to the marine base. Shortly after, IT was a lot of business in a very short time. Back in pennsylvany, anian malicious family remained convinced Roger was the killer.

I thought you got an argument with a rider. He kicked the door down and he just went really wrong.

Malicious family clung to assurances from the FBI that the case would be closed .

quickly after the uni bear .

us that he was wrong and so was the FBI about nearly everything.

Investigators were under tremendous pressures to make an arrest in the molester muni case.

We had a single mother, a member of the law enforcement family, who was dead in her own home. And there were people who said, is the act husband? You should be arresting him tonight.

The case against malicious x husband certainly seem strong, and nobody knew that Better than the x husband himself.

understand. How about IT .

looked for me, Roger moony, a kid from california who'd always dreamed of joining the marines. By the summer of one thousand nine hundred ninety nine, he was a staff sergeant at camping assume, twenty nine years old and leaving his dream. But on August six, Roger received an urgent summons to the naval criminal investigation office at the base.

The agents broken to me that millions a was found that, and then, after a couple minutes, accused me of killing millions a .

just like that.

just like that. You did IT you killed in your liar.

a liar and a logical suspect. Homicide investigators always start with the victims inner circle. Remember, Roger was the husband with the temper who frighten his x wife, whom everyone suspected one's molas as body was found, and his DNA was at the crime scene. You see where this is all going.

That's why I spent two, three years being investigated by IT.

But logical suspect Roger moony had his own set of facts, starting with this one. He insisted he didn't kill Melissa. Thing I could .

get rely on was the fact that I didn't do IT, and eventually the truth would come out.

He is truth first. Those moral arguments shared in temper.

I had a temper, but it's always easy to point to the six one, two hundred pound marine guy has been the bad guy, rather, the small, quiet, reserved girl. You ever hit her note. Never, never a hand or no. Why would I hit the one girl in the world that actually love you?

Don't do that. So how did you get that Bruce on her cheek, an accident. He says, in the heat of a fight.

I was walking out the house, and he was so little SHE kind of gotten my way to get out the house. And basically we flighted in each other. SHE hit the door. Friend felt horrible about that.

Did you say to other marines that target practice not long before millis died, my aim would be a lot Better. That, or my x wife's face on the .

target that was a tasteless joke, is what I was.

And her mother's claim that Melissa was scared of him and her friends story that if anything happened to her IT was Roger. He says the friend is unreliable. And as for malicious family.

her parents weren't big fans of mine to say a nicely ep. And I think maybe Melissa may have said something and I was assumed to mean something else.

What about the angry command that molise a would never see a penny of the money he wanted for child support? Rogers says there's an innocent explanation.

What I said was that more than I make, you'll never see IT because I don't have IT.

In fact, he says a satisfactory settlement was eventually reached to hear Roger talent. He and Melissa were the best of friends by the time he was killed, sharing custody of the daughter they both loved.

Moleson I took care of each other moleson I took her Samantha.

that was Roger story, and he stuck to IT. And over time, one FBI agent began to think Roger might be telling the truth.

The other people in the room said, each Roger, and we're going to prove. I started saying I should be Roger, but I don't think IT is there .

was no indication that Roger and Melissa we're fighting. We're combat of at that time. One, the provable fact began to bear out Bonnies doubts that bootblack on the door didn't match Rogers boots and no one could find a scrap of evidence to prove Roger made that hundred forty mile drive to Melissa house. And back the night of the murder.

we had agents canvas every possible route, pulled every convenience store video tape receipt. During that time frame, there was a lot of manpower, no trace of Roger moy, no trace of Roger mony.

And even though they drove the roots again and again and knew I could be done, investigators began to realize that their theory of the murder didn't hold up.

He's got ta maintain that level of anger while he's putting the child in the car seat, driving down that road and break next speed, kicks at door and kills are racist back. Take sami out, put you back to bed, gets up, takes over to the babysitter and is A P. T. And morning.

Would he have left sami behind a sleep in her bed? Unlikely, says mollis boss.

One thing of a Roger, Roger was a good father. Roger was a responsible father.

but there was the matter of Roger mood's DNA at the crime scene. The DNA on the mattress could be explained and had once been the moonies marital bed. But how could Rogers hair be found in a house he said he'd never been to? The answer could rest with their daughter's sai, who often stayed with her father. Rogers hair could have ridden to the crime scene on Sammy's belongings, so that didn't set an alarm bell.

IT was absolutely logical to find a hairs from Roger mony in those possessions in the house somewhere.

And finally, the issue of motive. Investigators eventually concluded that Roger muni had every reason not to kill his x wife. why? Because he was a dad. If malaya were dead, his career in the marines would crash and burn.

If he doesn't have a wife, he becomes a single parent. If he's a single parent, he can be deployed. If he can be deployed, he can't get promoted. That was the worst thing that could have happened to him right there.

And that's what he says. He tried to tell them. I don't think you can blame the FBI for looking at you.

No, not at all. But I don't reit be an investigated. What I reason is they they were convinced that was me before they actually started. Look at the evidence .

two years after Melissa was murdered, after poking IT at every corner of Roger moonies world investigators were fairly certain of one thing and one thing only.

We reached a point where we said, Roger moon is not our guy.

But if Roger mooney didn't murder mysa, then who did?

Two years had passed since millions a moonies murder investigators had ruled out her x husband, Roger, and other possible suspects. Despite that, they were nowhere close to an arrest, but they weren't about to give up new hanover county district attorney ben David.

Whoever did this has gotta away with murder.

So millis, as colleagues in the FBI, started fresh again.

We literally, we launched a new investigation.

They brought in new investigators, and we interviewed everyone they're spoken with before and immediately ran across someone. Unusual, according demolish, is coworker paul cox. They described .

in one word is hanky. I said he's hanky something about this guy.

He was the very first person agents cox and agley had had spoken with. The demolish s body was found the neighbor who've been washing his car, he told him when he hadn't seen anything suspicious that night, but when investigators returned to his home two years later, the man wasn't co Operative. The agents advised .

he didn't want to provide certain information by himself, phone number, data.

things like that. We thought that was od, that a man who had two children and a wife across the street from a woman had been murdered wasn't trying to us catch a killer in his neighborhood.

They learned the man's name was taiwan del garda, a metal worker. Investigators started digging into his background. He grown up in lousianner, served three years in the U.

S. navy. He'd become a family man, and he was the kind of guy who'd hook up my camera to the TV just to admire himself.

He puts the music on, takes his shirt off, starts flexing his chest muscles, is army muscles watching himself the entire time. And that's .

tyrone delgado. And agents learn delgado was trained in martial arts.

He's very proud of how high he can kick and how strong he can kick.

A the door.

absolutely. It's not easy to kick in the door. But IT was .

when they checked algoa s criminal record that investigators realized they'd missed something. In the early days of the investigation, you orties canvas the neighbor od, run everybody's criminal record.

did not run everybody's criminal record. We interviewed hundreds of people. In retrospect, that probably would have been a good thing to do.

Had they run delgado S S criminal record, then they would have learned he'd been charged with sexual assault in lousianner in nineteen ninety four. Those charges have been dismissed. But now cox and agley got the police file. They listen to a taped interview of the alleged victim, a single mom named the rain flu.

You up in my face.

What they heard on that audio tape was compelling, beginning with the way he says delgado forced his way into her apartment around two A M.

When we spoke with her sixteen years later, lawin fruit said he could still see the look on delgado s face.

I knew. I said he was.

he was. He said, big and strong, and he'd been drinking.

He tried to. He put his hand here and his hand here and went like that.

like he was trying to break your net. yeah. He says he started choking her .

and I hit in pn, then all the problem. I, everything starts to go black.

SHE says SHE realized del ghana was enjoying the struggle, the power and the control.

When he was choking me, he told me, he said, look at me. Look at me.

The attack, he says, turns sexual. Finally, the rain managed to get away and went to police. The GTA was arrested and charged, but then lain says the god's mother offered her two thousand dollars if he would agree to drop the charges.

Took the money yeah. But if I could go back, I would know after .

the case was dismissed, they're gotto moved to north CarOlina five years later. Melissa mooney was killed strAngely after an apparent sexual assault after her attacker burst through her front door late at night and at the time of the murder, tye ro. Delgado was living just down the street.

If you listen to lorain fu interview.

it's almost .

the voice of my lessons. well.

It's shilling is .

so similar agents cox and alley had a new suspect .

that really said to both of us at that time, this could be our guy.

except for one thing. Del gotto had an alias for the night millia died, courtesy of his wife.

Her story there was, the day had been home.

That night was ill, yes. And then things started getting strange. As the FBI was investigating delgado, he was doing his own investigation, trying to find out what they knew.

Agent cox had been interviewing people in his world. And one day, d'e gada actually call the FBI office looking for cox. Agent craig atli took the call. He started .

screaming at me on the phone. You're out here. You're view in my neighbors. Your interview in my co workers, I wanted to nack IT off.

actually persuaded the gotto to allow a search of his house. The search didn't last long. They're gada suddenly threatened utley with a sort, then he just has suddenly back down.

just broke into a smile and said, just with, but that was vintage taiwan dog ado.

There was more vintage delgado to come as the FBI moved ever closer to an arrest in the millions a muni case things went from just plain strange to flat out bizarre.

The FBI was looking at throne delgado for the murder of moist a moni, and looking hard in two thousand and two, three years after malicious murder. The investigation got a big boost, thanks to what assistant district attorney john David called a silent witness from the crime scene.

One here that was collected that evening was put in an evidence locker and SAT there for two years.

Remember me? Alicia's home had been on the market before SHE bought IT. Plenty of people had trained through, and plenty of hair and fiber remained behind after Melissa was killed, all of IT became evidence, and one of those hair proved to be a partial DNA match with taiwan. Delgado, meaning IT, came from delgado himself, or from a close relative on his mother's side. You had to here that maybe wasn't definitely is, but couldn't exclude him.

couldn't exclude him consistent with his maternal blood.

But there could be an explanation for that hair. Delgado could have walked through the home when I was for sale before mis sabot. So agents decided to dig deeper to find out whether deal gott would committed any attacks similar to the alleged assault on the rain flu. They reached out to law enforcement in every place he'll goto had lived, asking about crimes that Carried what they call the delgado signature force entry, choking and sexual assault.

Those officers were able to get us a great wealth of other victims and information, and then we're able to compete those back to the moni crime scene.

By late two thousand, three agents believe they had established a grim patter. They share their findings with prosecutors.

What we found was a string of victims around this country who were all saying what Melissa was told us if he was a.

who all told remarkably similar stories.

who told remarkably similar stories about the worst night of their life.

There were more than half a dozen alleged victims, which left prosecutors to wonder if tehran del GTA was responsible for such a trail of brutality. I, why wasn't there more evidence of IT on his criminal record? The more they learn, the more certain they became of this theory. The gado targeted vulnerable women who rarely pursued him legally.

Mister dog gotto became very compete at bringing about real pain to his victims and getting away with IT around .

the country. Investigators still needed more. In november two thousand three, they got IT. The gatos own wife, anna accused him of almost killing her. He said. He choked her, pinch her nose to cut off air agents compared annas injuries to malicious and found striking similarity ties. Ana press charges filed for divorce and then in a huge break for the FBI and I cruise delgado switch sides, SHE no longer gave her husband that crucial alii on the night of molests murder.

SHE couldn't say that he was there for certain during the attack. Like SHE originally said, he couldn't .

guarantee that he had been home. That that's right.

in fact, that he had a pattern of getting up in the middle the night when he was drinking and going out in the community. And SHE learned not to ask what he was up.

The GTA went back on the offence, chAllenging the investigators or so.
