foreign [Music] it's so frustrating because you just you can look back and you you wish you did more
00:00:20
maybe my sister was scared to go to the law because her husband was a police officer
00:00:31
Jones County District Attorney's office I believe Seth peralt was an individual that had a lot of people full
00:00:42
I think he hid behind a badge and wore a mask every day nice house nice car law enforcement but behind that door to
00:00:53
that house he was pretty abusive he stopped no let's not let's tell truth maybe she was scared to get out
00:01:03
it's February 3rd 2020 set the scene for me what happened I'm sitting at my desk
00:01:08
at my office that was it and the phone rings and it's the police chief at least I got Seth Perrault on the phone he's
00:01:16
told me his wife had killed herself and I knew that we needed to get there and get this matter investigated and do
00:01:24
it right [Music] when you got to the scene Seth peralt sitting on the front steps
00:01:32
he's sitting there hands holding over his face and I asked her to go inside and search the house and he gave consent
00:01:40
for that ever seen a suicide that looked like I didn't say anything like that her body is flat on the back her legs
00:01:52
are almost together and her arms are tucked against her side with her hands cut this wasn't right he's worked a lot
00:02:01
of cases he told me he said the scene is not right there's something not adding up and the more we investigated the
00:02:08
honor it got obviously we have a death investigation here I asked him would he come downtown
00:02:15
to talk to us further I don't know this happened he said that they were in bed and they were arguing all I
00:02:22
know is my wife was upset she looked at me and said I can't do no more he loved her she was his world he'd never done
00:02:30
anything to harm her ever my wife looked at me and executed herself and if you look at the logistics of it you're going
00:02:40
to see that I had nothing to do with it we all call Sheriff's sales that night and said we know our sister didn't do
00:02:48
this we know she didn't take her own life that he had something to do with this while looking at your faces as a
00:02:55
law enforcement officer I did not do any I had nothing to do with it seven months later
00:03:04
the medical examiner's report comes out and what does it say suicide yeah well I was astounded
00:03:14
Dr darison is a renowned medical examiner so her certification of suicide we thought was basically open shot you
00:03:22
have to remember she works for the state I'm Justin Kenny an attorney for Seth peralt
00:03:27
it all came down to the forensics could the state actually prove that Seth had pulled the trigger and shot his wife in
00:03:35
