You know, SHE has been missing for a week now, seven days. No one has seen or heard from terror grand in more than a week as today. Terre grand has been missing for eighteen days. c.

Sharp's department says IT will do an all out search for terror this weekend.

Loving dad.

successful mom.

beautiful family. They were the people next store.

If anybody knows, just just say something. This is a corporate search one. Should you be a suspect in this investigation? I don't know what I saw.

an empty shell and our honesty .

as an animal, sharif marcelo confirms numerous body parts are found.

I ve never seen violence like this.

North of detroit, seamless draw of scrip, mls and subdivisions is a forty five hundred acre woodland and preserve in winter, a bear forest that still belongs to the deer, kyoto and occasional trail Walkers like shell Warner.

But in that particular day was about forty degrees, and I decided that I was gonna through the woods.

What SHE spotted that last day of february, tucked under a tree, looked like more than litter, one gallon zip lock bag.

because there was snow on the ground. I stood out like a sore thun. I mean, that was there was a bright red blood in the bag.

She's picked up the baggie e SHE thought the share of office might want to know about IT what with all the coverage on the news about that missing woman, not one call on a cell phone, not one hit on a credit card. He has simply vanished the story of terror and the vanished wife and mother had become as regular a fixture on the detroit new stations as sports and weather. If anybody knows, just just say something.

Just tell us. Call, call me, call the police, call somebody. The missing woman's has been Stephen grad on the local, is made almost daily test on the verge of angry appeals to his wife of more than ten years to come home, if not for him, then for their two Young children, a girl, six and boy, four.

Call everybody, call the police, call me, call in that, call someone. The family lived in a comfortable home northeast of detroit. Terror was the breadwinner, thriving in a six figure management position within international construction and engineering firm.

The most recent job site was in porter. Reo sh'd been commuting between detroit and sand one for five months. Stephen grant worked in his father, small time two man machines shop, and looked after the kids.

While terror was on the road. He prided himself on being a mr. Mom at home and a soccer dad on the field, according to reporter Amber hunt, took them.

told their appointments and broker games, and appreciated getting the accolades for that.

And from the time he walked into the macon county share of office on valentine's day two thousand seven to report his wife missing, his story never change as he gave the spare detailed of her disappearance to the death urgent in the lobby, he may not have noticed a huge plain close detective walking by, but that officer remembered Stephen grand because of the fragment of conversation he overheard.

And I heard him actually say she's been gone for five days now.

The detective, brian kazuki, was still wondering why the guy had waited five days to report his wife missing when his death phone rang. And sure enough, he'd been assigned the case. His lootenant sounding urgent.

I want you to get on IT .

immediately by now. Detective cause losy, he had the report from the desk officer who taken down the husband story. This story after a week long business trip, grant said his wife terra, had home the previous friday night, february, month.

No sooner had he unpacked her bag when he announced she'd be going back to porter. We go early sunday rather than monday, grant cried foul. SHE needed to be home more and traveling for her job less argument in suit.

according to mister grand. And he last heard her, he thought was on a phone, say, be out in a minute. He left the house. He looked out the window and the black a day and was leaving.

The husband agreed to meet the detective in his partner at the grand home the night he reported her missing. Five days after he said she'd walked out in a half.

mister grand answered the door, and I could tell he was afraid that we were there, whereas he's our complaint. We're here to serve him and help him.

but he's afraid of us. One of the detectives first question was why grand had waited so long to report his wife missing. The husband replied that they'd had fights before when tario walked out for a day or so, but she'd always come back.

were immediately trying to establish her reason for leaving was in an argument. Was something prearranged?

The detective Cosmos ky, proceeded to ask grand about the health of his marital relationship, potential lovers and potential enemies while the other detective sergeant, pam mccane, was with the two children and their own pair, a nineteen year old german girl, vana dirk, is living who looked after them because of terra hectic travel schedule. I talked briefly with her for a few minutes, aster, about the night that mm was possibly head left.

Verena, the u. Pair, said he'd been out of the house the night to fight, occurred and didn't see what happened. As the detectives put away their notebooks, they asked if grant would come down to the shero office the following day for a ly detector test. And he agreed.

He asked me, do you think that i'm gonna in trouble for any of this? And I said, trouble, meaning what, Steve, you know, I didn't have any to do with this. And he, that's when he showed emotion. He put his hands over his mouth and he started to cry.

But the share of office detectives were finding the terrible ants trail five after SHE reportedly thought with her husband walked out, was growing stone cold. SHE wasn't using her cell l phone, her laptop or her personal credit cards. SHE hadn't talked to her family.

Still, investigators knew that he was a sophisticated international traveler, well equipped, take care of herself on the road. Maybe SHE was just cooling off somewhere. After a heated .

confrontation, the detectives .

also learned her husband was trying to reach her, because when they retrieve terrors voice mails after the night of the disappearance, they heard Steve s. Angry voice there.

next time I call you, pick up your phone is absolute both you can call me, I know you're mad. I'm mad you talking as much is not right.

but anxiously profess to be for help in locate. Stephen grant never did take that lie detector test. The next day, he had a lawyer who advised him to stop talking.

Stop talking to law enforcement maybe, but not the media. Appreciate you guys. We appreciate that all the people who are helping amut crime in courts. Reporter was surprised that grant was constantly calling nesses and reporters on their selves.

Initially, you think of all the guy really wants to find his wife. Then after a while, maybe that nobody was looking for. Meanwhile.

detective cosla, sky and the investigative team watch the live shots and took careful notes. You're thinking we have far, absolutely.

Everybody gets into an argument with their spouse. They would say things. I would say things. He was IT bad. No, not even close. According to her husband, Steve Terry grant stormed out the door of their suburban detroit ed home after a fight and hadn't been seen sense IT wasn't until days later the terra sister alysha got the news at her home near columbia. Hio from her mother SHE said.

i've got ta phone call from Steven and terrors missing. He hasn't heard from her in five days.

Alycia standard. Her was almost two years Younger than her sister. Like terror. He had two Young kids and knew that I was ominously unlike her sister, to walk out of her life, even for a marriage time out.

Tair would never leave her children and not let us know where he was, and he would never miss anything with her employer. In ten years of working for the same company, SHE didn't miss a day .

when alysha talked to her brother in law. Steve IT was the thirteen th of february the evening before he finally reported terror as a missing person. On valentine's day.

the conversation that we had started out you with him telling the story in a very quickly changed tones, and he said to me, he said, you know what he said? She's probably checked up in a hotel and he are is exactly checked up in a hotel around the corner with some guy. And I remember at that instant I said, Stephen, I said he could be in the slums of destroyed in serious trouble.

SHE could be dead. I didn't trust this. Mean, something was off. I didn't know what.

Alaya, in truth, had never been thrilled with her sister's husband, a smug under achiever. SHE thought a guy who bellowed when he talked.

he always had have last word, no matter .

what terror. And Stephen met at michigan state of four age girl going for a business degree and a suburban detroit boy within iron politics when they married. And kids came along.

Oh, he was esthetic. Lynsey was the Sparkle of eye.

Alesha terra had grown up together as farm kids on michigan's rural upper la.

We had old mcDonald farm to a tea. We had everything, horses, you know, sheep, cows, pigs, goats, gini hands, rabbits, chickens, turkey, y's geese, you name IT. We had IT here and I growing up. We had a list, wait, a list of things that we had to accomplish in the day. And if the list wasn't done, when my dad at home.

there are consequence to fit my.

And one activity on the list more fun than shore was making maple zero something terror love to do, even as an adult.

SHE was happy. He was a happy kid. SHE was my leaning post when I had something very, very crucial to talk about. That was a life altering terr was the first personal vocal.

Her last call with her big sister came on february nth. Forty minutes of girl talk terror was in the new ork airport waiting for her connecting flight home. He seemed up IT did you ever say i've got to turn around and go back to put rec on sunday? no.

In fact, he laid out all of her plans to me, which was to return reporter week on that monday.

And now terror was missing. Alysha enter husband drove five hours to detroit to meet with the detective name cosu skii and to paper the metro area with missing person posters. Saturday night, the seventeenth, they made plans to go over to Stephen's house for takeout pizza.

We drove up the driveway, and Steve came out of the garage and proceeded to hug me in a very uncomfortable fashion. I tried to pull away, and he would not allow me to pull away. He very is head in my shoulder and he was crying.

Grants tears became very familiar to TV news watchers, but after a few days in the spotlight, they dried up. He began bad mouthing his missing wife in interviews like this one with hank win, chester of detroit, nbc, a fillip a couple of years ago. And I did have a problem in our, in our marriage with, I don't want to call an infidelity, but pretty close to infidelity.

What's pretty close to infidelity? I don't understand what that means. IT was going there. He started a little in terror a as an a wall mom war, concerned with her career and frequent flying miles than her family. I get that he has to travel for business, but. Too much as too much, and that was too much, meanwhile, felt compelled to speak up for her sister and interviews, portraying tera not as some one dimensional career woman, but a loving mother who successfully baLance both .

work and family driven drive.

And the more Stephen grant appeared on the news, playing for simply .

became, and there really wasn't my team between.

along the way, his poor me image is the spouse possibly cheated on took a big hit and old girlfriend of grant leaks some recent emails that you'd received from Stephen two weeks before terra went missing. Not so subtle commons, like i'm still a need of some excitement in my day wink, wink. I just think of marriage vows like speed limits.

Sometimes you have to break them. Meanwhile, the agency that placed the Young old pair and the grand home became so uncomfortable with one of its girls being in the midst of a publicly messy domestic situation. IT pulled verena, the kids nani, out of the house against her will. SHE returned home to germany on february twenty first. Reporter Amber hunt knew why this juicy psychodrama about a suburban family had hit such a nerve.

They were the people next store.

nice house, good kids.

Yeah, loving dad, successful mom, beautiful family.

But could reporters or anyone really find out what was going on under a family's roof? The husband, in particular, was proving difficult to get a fix .

on the people that we came across, pretty much access ledge to that he was kind of a strange bird. He didn't bring home nearly the amount of money that he did. So I don't know how that plays into somebody y's psyche when you're pretty much left working for your dad and raising .

the kids unobtrusively. The share of office, meanwhile, had put surveilLance teams on grand watching his house, studying his dominant in security camp video from the mini mark, where every morning he bought the local papers full of dose about the case. The maccone county detective team had no physical evidence and few lead yet.

They had a gut feeling about the husband. His story, including her, is supposedly making a phone call and leaving in a black sand was full of holes. The car service didn't work out.

Nobody picked up the credit cards. Nothing gonna used. So IT was pretty much, or at at that end, with no fresh leads to run down. Without the physical evidence, theyd need to execute a search world of the house. The share of mark aco announced to the public that they were going to search the sprawlin park out by the grand home over the weekend.

We realized the public was in tune to this case. They really want to know was going on to add. So we needed their help.

Someone out there listening to the chef was a dental, a person who adopted the narrow two lane road that pasta house for litter clean up chores. But her time, in the case of the missing Terry grant, had arrived not just yet.

Ten days after he was reported missing, reserves and deputies from the share of department swarm the vast stony creek metro park looking for any signs of telegram. The thirty four year old wife and mother, who is supposedly walked out on her family a one we A T back six hours, more than one hundred fifty searchers with snipper dogs on the ground and a helicopter above scoured a three mile grid of the park.

why? Simply because in is nonstop interviews in the media, Stephen grant, a missing woman's husband, talked about stony creek a lot, maybe too much. The main reason we bought the houses because the park was there, I mounted back out there, I run out.

It's not only crank all the time, um we love the park. But at the end of the long day, the searchers came up empty share of asked the community to keep its eyes open. What we d like people to do is if they could look in some of the what IT is and they happen to see some, call us immediately. The missing woman sister alysha, had gotten a heads up the night before that the sherifs office was going to be looking for terrorist body at that moment. Reality said in.

remember, we're getting off the phone and going down stairs to where my children were in. Just sadden with my little son across the room. For me, standing there is started as he could ever be and I said, but my money hug. And that little boy came running to me as fast. He couldn't jumped up my lap.

IT was four days later on the wednesday after the weekend search, when the dental hygienist Warner decided to go for a trump through the woods less than a mile from her house, a section of the same park the share of office had searched.

I had no intention of finding anything.

but as he came up the rise back toward the dirt road, he saw one gland zip lock bag. I had a MIT.

none, and I went over and I picked up the bag, and you could see blood just pulling to the bottom of the, I knew about the disappearance of Terry gram, but I had no idea what IT could be.

So SHE brought at home, placed on top of her freezer in the garage, and called the share of office. So when a deputy get out there, he found a zip lag bag with some, some globs and its medal shavings and stuff that was concerning metal shavings. Grant worked in the machines shop.

That and the determination that IT was human blood in the begging, where the findings theyd needed to get a search warm. So that gave you probable cause to go to grant house, yes, and do a proper search, yes. Two days later, at five pm.

On friday, march second, detectives and crime scene text from the share of department arrived to process the grand home, but with modest expectations. After all, terror has been missing for three weeks already. Reporting crews from the N, B, C station, W, D, I, V, T, V are also on the scene.

O, he is, a car is gone on a AR .

a camera role as grand is taken from his vehicle and pat IT down the pat them down way wait. But significantly, he has not been placed under arrest.

And at that point we didn't have probable cause to rust, mr. grant.

The other crew, meanwhile, is getting ready to set up for an interview. Stephen grand has asked reporter hank winchester to come out to the house, and he wanted me to interview him in the garage of the house. And I asked them why the garage.

He said, well, the garage will give you, uh, a look into what I saw that day, because I was looking at one of the windows when I saw terror leave in the town car but the interview never happened, never happened, and certainly not in the garage, because, as police video technicians inside were method ally searching the house outside, Stephen grant was simply walking away, getting out of dodge. He even looked back as though he couldn't believe no one was stopping him. What they found in the house ninety minutes later is detective cosse ki stomach c turning story. By then, he and five other detectives had retreated to the garage to get out from under foot of the csi types working in the house detective cause losy. I bought the usual garaged clutter to see if anything had changed since the first and only visit back on february for teeth.

And I saw a Green container that I know was confident had not been there in the fourteen th. IT looked at a place to meet mediately, and there was a black bag, a black garbage bag in IT. I opened up the bag and there was another bag in, so I went through each bag, ripped them apart with my hands, and I stuck my bear hand in there.

And I was moist. I saw what I thought was blood in plastic. And then I could see, you know, what was a bra?

The detectives back away to let a crime scene tech confirm what no one could quite believe.

One of the evidence tax opened up the lid, cut the bag further and spread apart. The bag in there was a female human torso.

L your words, and quite where I think, what the .

exactly a .

plastic bin in the garage containing a female torso, no head, no limbs, did draw click together for you the moment it's terror, she's murdered. He dismembered and left her in the garage.

Once I looked at return, a dark SHE said that her, I actually just left the scene.

That's when the detective got his second shock of the night. He discovered Stephen grand had fled and had an hour and a half lead on them.

How angry are you? I'm buried. I'm gonna get him, this guys taking a walk on you. Yes, and i'm gonna find him.

Stephen grant was on the run. The man was on.

I've never seen violence like this.

The detective had found the missing terror, and but only a part of her, just the woman's torso, in a plastic storage bin inside the garage of the home he shared with her husband and two children. Alysia, terri s. Sister, had returned to her home and ohio by the time the awful discovery was made.

And my phone ring about eleven P. M. And IT was sheriff cal. And he said, lisa, do you feel like Steve would ever harm you?

The share of didn't tell we should that they'd found her sister, but he was concerned for her well being because grant was on the loose. He insisted the cheek on back to michigan immediately.

And I said, IT mark, I said it's a while in a clock. He wanted to drive a mission and we have two small children. He said, yes, for your safety, for your safety .

at the share of office. The next morning, alesha heard the incomprehensible news. Her sister not only murdered, but dismembered. Then SHE had to tell her parents that their first born was gone.

I don't even know what I saw other than teris dad. Teris dad.

Stephen grand, had simply walked away from his home before detective cosla sky discovered the torso. Now a day later, the investigators, we're getting some good clues on his whereabouts information ping off cell phone towers told them that the cell l phone grant was using was headed north. They'd learned he was in a yellow dodge decode, a truck borrowed from an unsuspecting friend. Then, a thoroughly unexpected, an enormous break. The detective's desk phone ring .

I recognize right away is mean an international call.

The other end was a voice saying, this is verena darcis vreni, the grants former oai calling from her home in germany.

SHE was crying, like at the sense to reach from my recorder and record the conversation.

Everything is head was a life, everything. And I believe every.

And for the next thirty minutes, what a story he had to tell. Verena, in the middle of the night for her, was saying that grant had just called her and confessed to killing his wife.

He told the accident. He said, me and SHE yet me and I pushed back bank ahead and was bad.

The nineteen year old vines wore to the detective that she'd always believed Stephen story that his wife had walked out. SHE had no idea, he said that he'd actually killed terror. And the detective told arena he believed her, but he gently confronted her about stories told to him by the old pairs friends in the detroit area, rumors about her and grand.

nothing you .

really about.

Gradually, the cop cocks the truth out of the teenager bit by bit.

We d like more than we. And IT started about four weeks go. How did I start? I don't know.

That was just talking. I don't know what. Maybe there was always gone and then was happened. But I was never physical, never that I sweet chAllenged .

on that point. Verrina admitted a little more. And then after further pRobing, admitted a lot more sheet had oral sex with her employer.

But IT was just one time and I was. That happened to tell her I was before the febris per night.

He was a mutual oil sector, just him. Was Cosmo sky hearing motivation for the murder? Did Stephen grant kill his wife so he could be with a cute Young nanny who was so good with the children? Meanwhile, the intense manhunt for grant was still very much ongoing, and vara provided the detective a solid lead. SHE told him grants call to her had registered on her color ID, as coming from the nine, eight, nine area code, a big chunk of northern michigan. Verena was certainly he intended to kill himself and in yet another call from grab that night, this one to his sister near detroit, he even gave the name of the remote cabin's where he intended to take his life. The sister called the detector.

So I basically google IT and IT showed up Augustana state cabinet in wilderness state park in northern.

Quickly, police found the abandoned yellow truck, followed the footprints in the snow. And there, under a tree at six thirty sunday morning, was a dead, tired Stephen grant sufficing from hypothermia, but very much alive. Do you think he was trying to kill himself?

I personally think you've entered his mind, but when he really came down to IT, he he lacked the courage to do IT.

A coast guard rescue helicopter was called to the scene to real in grant and deliver him to a hospital. He may have been exhausted, but Stephen grant still hadn't tired of talking about himself. He was about to tell everything.

Search teams went back to stony creek park the day after terror and torso had been discovered in a bin in the family garage. Boy, when they started walk into that field, there were some pretty gruesome discoveries not far from where the hiker had come. Upon the bloodied zip lock bag, they began finding blood, hair and dismembered body parts scattered about under fAllen tree limbs down in hollows.

Grt had cut his wife into fourteen pieces. Police found eleven parts, but they never did recover all the remains. Animals had gotten their first, they said, with his client in custody and the man's wife and pieces Stephen grant lawyer announced was no longer representing mr.

mom. Grant himself was in the northern michigan hospital under guard recovering from exposure. When he asked if he could talk to detective cosla sky, the detective got on the line, and after a few seconds, grant made a surprising propose.

你 牛。 I mean, here.

his lawyers walked off the case. You don't know how long you're going to have this window of opportunity with them exactly. Are you break in speed limits to get up there? absolutely. Five hours later, cause loskiel and detective mccline the two, the original house call on grant, where morandi's ing, the husband in his hospital bed after pressing record on their tape machine.

You in fact understand that you are in fact interest now, right, or of the murder of your life here.

as though shooting the breeze over coffee in a diner, grant told the detectors IT started with a fight in the bedroom on friday, february night, terra saying he was going back to porter reo early grand, angrily accusing her of not spending enough time at home.

I can do, I have to do. My job is in your business. So SHE started turn around and ground the rist just stop us.

You you're not going on anywhere and we're going to finish this conversation and just slapped after I don't remember what happened, SHE tied and SHE being back ahead on floor. And then SHE said something like, I think and I think kids, how. Much will you on the carpet? SHE started.

Get back up when I, my hand on that. We look in her face, covered her face. Would you cover your face up? Is gray underwear a great t shirt? How did you know that SHE endive, when she's start moving? And really.

The two children, grant said, where we're in their rooms down the hall from their murdered mother, the pair was out, authorities would say later, grant, text message, or you owe me a kiss and left a note reading the same on her pillow. Grant said he returned to his wife's body, tied a built around the neck and dragged the corpse down the stairs and out of the garage. He was going to hide the body in the back of terrorist isuzu trooper.

my doctor. He is too hard to pick up and the belt broke that he felt that was the most discussing noise to sound like dropping the water. Now on the.

he went back upstairs, only to hear the front door opening verena, he told the teenager the story for the first time about a fight and terror, leaving in a black adam .

and you think we ve got body crush, what the hell I do with the body thinking I killed my wife think my life .

is for the next day the body of terr. Grant lay inside the issues o in the the day after that sunday he had a plan, grand drow, the S. U.

V. And terrors remains to his father's gung I machines shop, where the two of them made ball barriers. He backed the truck in and set down plastic bags.

So I look on, shop something, a haps or something.

through trial and air. He found that the blade of a broken haxall work best. He started with hands.

something I drew up and I do again. And then I take more whisky, and I just told myself, but you don't do this, you're going to prison for us, your life, and get cutting.

He then drove back to the house, his wife's dismembered body in the back of the S. U. V, and join verena and the kids for a nice .

sunday afternoon to make everybody and I continuously flooded rain, because I thought that was the only way I can we look at through this.

That sunday night, he loaded the kid's plastic red, slid in the issues. U and a three year year monday drove off, looking for a place to dispose of his wife's pieces. He ended up at stony creek park.

You're some big overhead power lines. He pop the hatch and dumped the body parts onto the kids slip. He pulled the last of terror up through the snow to the open fields.

And as soon as I started going, I was like, keystone helps the to go. And i'm chasing after this slid. That has the worst cut body unit now, trying to get IT down when I go over, go. So many pieces of now fall less OK. So there's torso I took in a very in snow, and then the pieces I put on the sound, and then I bear that in snow.

But grand was unhappy with this bread on work.

I had a very, very bad job of hiding anything. It's right there.

In the open tuesday at dusk, he returned to the park, remove all the body parts wrapped in clear plastic bags, cut them open and scattered the remains here in there under fAllen trees.

ten feet head, everything.

a one gallon ziploc bagg s stuff, ed, with all the plastic rap. He left by a tree near the road. And he was done until he heard. More than a week later, the share of announced a search of stony creek park.

I thought. Find that the tour of this point, so very in snow.

So on that very saturday morning, mira, hours before the share of search, grant went back to the parked dawn to recover his wife torso.

I to dig IT out to frozen .

in the ground.

How did you Carry on my shoulder?

Carry out IT no longer terror. A wife, a human, just is merely a problem to be dealt with.

I've covered crime my entire career, and it's hard to shake some of these details.

details like grant using his kids red sled to transport his wife's body parts and then being tickled by that same sled running away stack with pieces of terror.

Don't like this, and how the plan to go. Now i'm taking up the spread to describe .

IT like keystone cops is just so flip in that your wife SHE might be in multiple parts at that point, but you should still recognize that that's your wife.

Grand return to the car with terrorist dismembered body. He shot IT into plastic garbage bags and drove once more to his father's machine shop. He then hit the tour, so behind boxes in the loft space beneath the ceiling, but he worried that the remains would fall and start to smell. So five days later, he stashed the torso in a Green plastic container, drove IT back to the garage in his home and hope for the best.

And actually thinking, I got to believe i've get away with this.

Look, how do you keep from just going for this guy, just traveling him?

I guess that I should be credited for that because there's more than one time I would have liked to have done that.

The case had turned very personal for this tough guy detected, you will wake up at night. You're back in the garage.

Put your hand in the tub. You see that Green tub. I can see that almost every day. I take IT to bed with .

me every night.

Grand signed a written version of his confession, but the case wasn't over because grant later pleaded not guilty to the charge of first degree murder. He was going to trial for strangling and dismembering his wife. But Stephen grant wasn't down for the count yet, not by a long shot.

The day after his capture and confession, Steven, did you kill you? why? Steven grant, the husband who couldn't get enough of the TV cameras, face them one more time in a perp walk, a perp role, actually. And later that day, for an arrangement in a hospital wheeled chair and wearing not the conventional institutional jump suit, but old timmy prisoner stripes, selected personally by the share of for maximum humiliation, have a brand who said and had one of our is transferred up to the hospital. Grant had told his murdered wife, sister, he was probably just checked up somewhere now he'd been brought to ground.

I saw an empty shell, in all honesty, on animal.

And more than anything, terris sister alysha wanted that animal. SHE saw locked up for the rest of his life. But only a first degree murder conviction could guarantee no chance at parole.

He's never gone to get out. The second degree there is that possibility.

So that was what was at stake when the murder trial of Stephen grand began ten months after his arrest. Would he get life in prison, meaning exactly that, or what the jury find him guilty of murder in the second degree, leaving the door open for him to walk free at some future date, despite his legally airtight confession. Granted, pleaded not guilty.

And you trip IT all down. It's a domestic violence, murder, and somebody has to speak for terror.

That was our job. The macao prosecutor at the time, eric smith, never for a minute believe grand story, that he enter a, had a fight over her traveling so much.

I don't see an argument. I see a beating. He picked that very calculating ly that IT makes him look good here.

Here's my wife. She's out of town all the time. And this poor husband, sitting at home, taking care of my kids and mr. Mom, this jar of sixteen people, we had to bring him back to reality real quickly to shown what .

this case was actually about.

And that was what I was about sex IT was about Stephen grant wanting to replace his his wife with his aw air. And something that was really telling in the entire cases. The first thing he did after murdering his wife was pick up a cell phone and tax the all pair, saying, you owe me a kiss. The prosecutor .

argued to his case for premeditation, a requirement for grant to be sent to prison without the possibility of parole. He introduced evidence. There were grant steamy emails to the old flame, all but asking for a fresh hooker, and then him changing erotic targets from the former girlfriend to his children's old air arena. The german teen, fresh at a high school. And in a moment of high theater, the prosecutor called a blockbuster witness, verena.

People flew over to germany to try and track the swan down, and he was having nothing of IT. So we really thought that SHE would just keep her distant.

I saw her .

just shoot these looks at him. They were skills mean that seemed like SHE was really there to say, you've mess me up for some time, and i'm here to make sure that you get what's coming to.

Verena, in a confident voice, recounted how a employer became suddenly fluttered at the end of january, stealing kisses, actually exposing himself to her. Until finally, the night before terror is murdered, he gets her into his bed.

No one can ever tell me that it's a coincident that the night before emerges, his wife, he has sexual relations with the opp ir.

the defense throughout me and while answered the accusation of premeditation by asking, well, where are the signs that grant plotted out this crime? Where's the to do list of Carrying out a murder? A defense expert witness said, this case is really about a man snapping during a physical confrontation. Therefore, the defense argued he should be found guilty of no more than second degree murder.

Torso I in the snow and yes.

when the jury heard all three hours of grants passionless recollection of murder and dismemberment, how could that be anything but first degree murder? When you hear IT, there's a remote ness from the things he's talking about, isn't there?

There's over morse. There's an answer. remorse. In his .

closing argument, the prosecutor brought the jury back to the bedroom as the murder occurred. The medical examiner had testified that terror likely went unconscious after fifteen seconds of strangulation, but then IT probably took another three minutes and forty five seconds of grant choking her before SHE actually died. The prosecutor took out a stop watch and set IT ticking for four minutes, plenty of time, he said, to think about going through with a murder, and just as significantly, plenty of time to make the conscious choice to stop that. He told the jury also constituted premeditation when I said.

telegram is now unconscious. Those next three minutes and forty five seconds were an eternity. Stephen grant had the opportunity to choose life or death. He chose death.

The jury went out to deliberate and stayed out, confounding all courtroom bedding for a fast verdict three days later. They returned guilty, a guilty of murder in the second degree after a spiritual y tussle, they'd finally been persuaded by the defense's argument against premeditation. The defended in full panic mode during and after the killing is rational self, as IT were no longer at the .

wheel well, the jury spoken, I want to first to be murder. The defender has been convicted of murder. But what I want to more than anything was to make sure Stephen grant was, can be off the streets and be off the streets for a long time.

And two months later in are sentencing of grant. The judges ensured just that, giving him fifty to eighty years .

in prison today, justice was served. Nothing will bring back to grant, but also nothing will bring back to grant.

Grant first opportunity for a parole hearing won't come until he's eighty seven years old. The judge had far exceeded the state sentencing guidelines and handed down a virtual life sentence, citing, among other reasons, the deprivation of grant's psychological damage .

to his children. We'll never have to see their father. You'll never have to experience his fitful ways, his abusive ways anymore.

There had been yet another shocking disclosure in her victim impact statement. Terra sister told the court that just days after the trial ended, herne SE had spilled a long kept secret hearing.

Lenny described detail by detail, by detail. You know, what he saw that night was unbelieved. I don't think anything could have prepared me for hearing those words come out of her mouth.

Both linsey and her Younger brother ian had watched their father murder their mother that awful night. They heard her final grown nightmares are understandably roamed both children's minds, the court was told. But with time counselling and a new support of homelife, there was hope for them. Alysia and her husband, eric adopted their nason of you, blending them with their own children, terrorist children called their and and uncle, mom and dad.

And there was a part of me that felt like I was designed ing my sister by allowing them to call mom. IT was really, really my husband. That said, you know what? This is the best thing for them.

So her children will be the legacy for tera.

I believe. So how could they not? I mean, linsey is spit image ever, mom, but I don't know the curly hair and her personality. I think, oh my god, that's terror. That's terror.
