I received a call of a possible DOA at this location I'm detective Dennis fley New
00:00:19
York City Police Department retired of course I had very little information to go on and as I came in the first thing I
00:00:28
noticed was how clean this particular apartment was I was directed to the bathroom and as soon as I came in there
00:00:35
was a little dog protecting whoever was in that bathtub and I thought to myself perhaps
00:00:41
this person fell a home accident and I noticed she had terrible injuries on her head towards here right by the drain
00:00:48
where our feet were I found several empty ice bags interestingly enough on top of the toilet tank right here there
00:00:57
was a large electric fan and the fan was on the breeze blowing through this window which opens up now the scene
00:01:05
starting to come together for me and I said you know something somebody tried to preserve this body I told the
00:01:11
lieutenant we have a crime scene seal the building no one comes in no one goes out her name was Daniel
00:01:22
[Music] Thomas you reach1 [Music] it's um you can't bring him back I can't bring her
00:01:40
back that's how it makes me feel her boyfriend Jason bon in Ivy League educated La a suspect from the beginning
00:01:48
now charged with her murder Poli custody for allegedly bludgeoning her to death and strangling he beat her so badly that
00:01:55
he broke most of her ribs broke her sternum he didn't just kick her he was dping her in the chest Jason Bond he was
00:02:02
not your normal suspect he had become an attorney and had attended an Ivy League
00:02:07
school I've been covering crime and law enforcement in New York City for three decades and it's very rare that the
00:02:12
murder victim turns out to be a very successful executive for a company like Weight Watchers I identified her through
00:02:19
a photo and I can close my eyes and I can see that photo still Jason has taken my
00:02:28
only child from me I've seen many murder scenes you got to move beyond the emotion I had to dig and
00:02:35
when I did dig into Jason's life there is no doubt that he is suffering from a mental illness so I turned to Dr Sasha
00:02:44
Harvard Education one of the best forensic psychiatrist that I have seen my job is to climb Inside the Mind of a
00:02:51
killer in other words I have to dissect him my mother was in the process of giving us
00:02:59
up at the age of nine his own mother abandoned him that leaves a psychological Mark based on mental illness I believe
00:03:09
that Jason Bond should not be held responsible for murder has a jury reached the verdict
00:03:16
yes we have it's absolutely ridiculous to believe that because his mommy didn't treat him necessarily as well as she
00:03:23
should have that somehow 15 years later he's not responsible for the torturing murder of his girlfriend he was caught
00:03:31
virtually red-handed we had a tape of him killing her it's one of the worst things I've ever heard 5 seconds I'm
00:03:36
going to let you up then you need to answer quickly or else you die
