00:00:04
the early morning of March 2nd 2018 Intruders entered Ted and Cory Shaun's home they shot and killed Ted but Corey
00:00:11
was able to fire back and hit in a closet Jim aarod spoke with Corey shaunessy about what she saw and heard
00:00:17
that night here's an early look at his 48 Hours report Before Dawn on March 2nd 2018 Intruders entered the home of Ted
00:00:26
and Cory shaunessy killing him and one of the family's wiers Barton Cory says she shot back and called
00:00:34
911 I didn't block it there were shots fired help me okay we're helping you ma'am help me Paul Soo and James Moore
00:00:44
of the Travis County Sheriff's department say bullet casings were scattered on the floor we had 40 caliber
00:00:51
and 380 it was a hell of gunfire at first Corey shauny thought it was a botched robbery the family business had
00:01:00
made them wealthy being a jeweler you might someday be a Target but Ted shaunessy didn't have any known enemies
00:01:09
and then assistant DA Amy Meredith says it didn't look like a robbery there were
00:01:15
still valuables all over the house there was nothing stolen but there was something missing from the Shauna's
00:01:23
house a handgun from a bedroom once belonging to their son Nick he and his high school swee heart Jackie Edison
00:01:31
rushed to Austin from the home where they were then living 2 hours away we began discussing the alarm system for
00:01:38
the house Cory says the family only armed the alarm when they were away though Nick had access to the settings
00:01:45
through a phone app police suspected he and Jackie were involved in the murder but in the following days the couple
00:01:54
moved in with Cory you could have told me aliens landed on the front yard and I would have believed that before I would
00:02:01
have believed that Nicholas and Jackie plan to have us killed and Jim joins us now at the table
00:02:08
uh so Jim uh the law enforcement uh folks described the night of the murder as a hail of gunfire what kind of
00:02:13
challenge did that present for the CSI investigators well it gave him a lot of evidence I mean this is the wild west
00:02:19
right there's guns there's bullets bullet casing broken glass everywhere so a lot of Clues a lot of evidence but
00:02:25
that also means there's a lot of Clues and evidence almost too much to process they had actually calling a prosecutor
00:02:31
which they usually don't do just to help them deal with the immediate aftermath of the scene not looking good for the
00:02:37
sun just based on the little bit we heard there the gun missing from his house he still had access to the
00:02:43
security system in the home and what's more Gale there was a window to his bedroom that was open and the screen was
00:02:52
taken out and laying against the wall so that also helped the police develop a theory of whoever sort of came through
00:02:59
here here knew where they were headed knew the entry point uh was Ted shaas the only Target that night no in fact
00:03:07
Cory who survives really remarkable woman will meet her tomorrow night in depth she was also a Target I will tell
00:03:14
