00:00:00
[Music] all new at 5:00 Dallas Police say that they are very concerned about the city's
00:00:10
murder numbers homicides to say it was a shocking murder would be an understatement broad daylight seven
00:00:18
shots one person killed we see murders all day this one looked different a violent killing in
00:00:28
North Oak Cliff involving an American Airlines manager Jennifer and her husband Jamie were walking their dog
00:00:35
7:30 in the morning at that time someone approached from behind and simply started shooting Jamie Faith was shot
00:00:43
seven times they they sound one after another B you knew it was a gunshot yeah you can
00:00:51
smell in the air the gunpowder they G bow all over we got a phone call from our mutual friend started the
00:01:00
conversation with Jamie's gone and I'm like what do you mean Jam's gone and he like he's dead what are you talking
00:01:08
about so I started right away digging in trying to figure out give me details give me scenario what happened three
00:01:16
times to the Head three times to the chest and once to the groin and then turns to the wife knocks her down takes
00:01:24
the time to pull out duct tape and wrap her wrists Jennifer says that duct tape is used
00:01:30
to wrap around her hands to actually grab her and take her rings I went to that house Monday morning I briefly
00:01:40
spoke with Jennifer faith I asked her can you tell me what happened she said it was
00:01:46
awful here's a guy from small town Magano Wisconsin 7:30 in the morning residential
00:01:55
area a theft something's not right somebody would have committed a murder to get a ring that may be worth $3,000
00:02:04
$22,000 doeses that make sense right this isn't Kim Kardashian downtown Paris coming out of a hotel for a photo shoot
00:02:11
with a $5 million watch a stranger police believe may have killed the American Airlines technology director on
00:02:19
that Friday morning the one thing that entered our mind was because it was during the pandemic we thought maybe it
00:02:26
was a disgruntled employee that he had just laid off first time I found out about this case I heard it on the news
00:02:32
and as soon as I saw it I thought that's a hit a hit as in like a professional h
00:02:37
a professional hit because it didn't make any sense I've been practicing criminal law for almost 30 years and
00:02:43
none of it made sense who would want him dead nobody [Music] [Music] I hear the woman screaming for her life
00:03:41
that's terrible it sound like a movie so I hurry up and call the police saying hurry and come I think my neighbors just
00:03:47
got shot it was October 9th 2020 and residents of Oak Cliffe were still absorbing the shocking murder of Jamie
00:03:57
faith Dallas police detectives began going house to house detectives need any and
00:04:06
all information that might be related to the case ja's own front door security camera captured this haunting photo as
00:04:13
he left his house with Jennifer and their dog Maggie it was taken seconds before Jamie was shot to death as heard
00:04:22
on this audio other cameras captured images of the Killer's getaway truck leaving the
00:04:32
scene a black Nissan Titan pickup truck and it had something unique on its back window what was that police initially
00:04:40
told us about the te on the back window here in Dallas if you see a t on the back window it's for the baseball team
00:04:48
the Texas Rangers Steve picket a reporter for cbs1 in Dallas Fort Worth noted that the
00:04:55
cameras did not pick up the truck's license plate and so the effort begins to find this truck right that's right
00:05:02
absolutely who is driving a black Nissan Titan with that tea emblem on the back window for those who knew Jamie Faith
00:05:12
the big question was not only who had committed the murder but why Jamie by all accounts was a
00:05:22
funloving guy Jamie was the sweetest person and I said something's not right something wasn't
00:05:32
right Shimona Jackson and her wife Melissa Gonzalez who lost her hair due to cancer treatments lived next door to
00:05:40
Jamie and Jennifer for years but moved when the pandemic hit they needed more space for their seven adopted children
00:05:50
the first time I met them we all introduced ourselves and they were like do you have kids and I was like yeah we
00:05:55
have a lot of kids is it true that the faith house was a really fun place for your kids to go
00:06:02
yes Jennifer Faith instantly bonded with Shimona Melissa and their adopted children at least in part because she
00:06:10
was also adopted the face welcomed them like family inviting them to swim anytime
00:06:19
they liked in the Faith's backyard pool oh they love to go swimming that sometimes they spend the night over she
00:06:24
would just leave us the code and we'd come in through the back gate swim give me a sense of what uh Jennifer
00:06:31
Faith was like she was actually pretty fun I've never seen her get mad would you describe them as a loving
00:06:42
couple yes yes on the morning of the murder a cousin of Melissa called her with the
00:06:48
Dreadful news they rushed to the Faith home Jaime's lifeless body was still on the street right the way I noticed a
00:06:56
gunshot to the Head but he was laying there just in the street no covering no nothing it was a
00:07:07
heartbreaking um CU you hear somebody tell you that someone's passed but to see him there lifeless after we had just
00:07:16
seen them and uh it was hard to believe two states away in Arizona Teresa and Ross Jensen who had known
00:07:31
Jamie for years were floored by the news and the two of us just stared at each other for a little while in
00:07:40
what Teresa Jensen and Jamie Faith hail from the village of mwano Wisconsin and were classmates through high school and
00:07:48
college he later introduced Teresa to her husband Ross a close college friend 16 years later we said Jamie
00:07:59
literally changed our Liv we never we never would have met yep jimie may have been a successful
00:08:05
Matchmaker but he insisted that serious relationships were not for him he considered himself a confirmed Bachelor
00:08:13
for as long as we knew him he said I'm never getting married get married never having kids I don't want a part of it
00:08:21
but that changed in 205 and then he met Jennifer the attraction was instant in terms of the commitment and the
00:08:32
relationship and that was there that was there right off the bat they were two peas in a pod and that notion about not
00:08:39
wanting children Jamie bonded with Jennifer's then 8-year-old daughter Amber from her first marriage and I
00:08:46
remember thinking to myself it's interesting for a guy that didn't want kids how he stepped right in there and
00:08:53
he would go to the dance recital and super supportive the two got married married
00:08:59
in Las Vegas in 2012 and when Amber turned 18 Jamie legally adopted her he was working for American Airlines
00:09:10
in Arizona and Jennifer worked in healthc care administration I believe all of our friends and mutual
00:09:19
friends were very accepting of her Jamie Jennifer and Amber continued living in Arizona until
00:09:27
2017 when Jamie got promotion and they moved to Dallas he seemed very happy yep so did she they got along great and I
00:09:36
mean that's all you want for your friends you know be happy but the good times ended in gunfire that October
00:09:43
morning it was the day after the couple celebrated the 15th anniversary of their
00:09:49
first date in later news reports Jennifer said she was having a hard time coping with
00:09:56
Jaime's murder I'm not supposed to be widowed at 48 you know Jennifer told cops that the shooter
00:10:04
was wearing a blue mask and a blurry image was captured by that security camera near the back of the faith house
00:10:12
but the best lead was that black Nissan truck with the distinctive white tea on the back window
00:10:43
I have three dogs that I walk three four times a day what seemed like was a completely
00:10:50
random act it could have been any of us Jennifer steelan and Jenna Wilson live in the same oakcliff neighborhood where
00:10:58
Jamie Faith was Gunn down a man they could relate to learned that he was in it at a major airline my husband is in
00:11:07
it at a major airline they were walking their dog a few blocks from us I was just go oh my
00:11:12
gosh this could have been us though many neighbors didn't know the faiths personally they immediately stepped up
00:11:18
to support Jennifer and her daughter Amber we have a really amazing community in Oak Cliff the day after the murder
00:11:27
Jenna reached out to Jennifer and began coordinating a meal train to provide vegan meals as Jennifer requested how
00:11:35
many different families were contributing food would you estimate goodness got to be over 50 oh definitely
00:11:42
if you know what happened I need I need that for closer as Jennifer Faith appealed to the public for information
00:11:49
money was pouring into a GoFundMe account set up by Jennifer's feeling it came in fast it was shocking to see how
00:11:58
much people were contributing how much money was raised for the go over $60,000 father we thank you for the gift
00:12:07
of this amazing man Jennifer held two funerals for Jamie one in Dallas and one in Phoenix each was meticulously planned
00:12:18
they had all of the displays out little matchbooks for people to take cards for people to take
00:12:26
coasters more than anything I've ever seen at any other funeral while she was mourning Jennifer kept pressing the
00:12:33
public for more information about the murder of her husband truck is absolutely critical somebody has got to
00:12:40
know whose truck this is it's a black Nissan Titan extended cab it had a Texas Ranger sticker in the back
00:12:49
window as they do with every homicide investigation detectives looked into Jennifer's background they asked for her
00:12:56
cell phone and found that in April 2020 6 months before the October shooting Jennifer had texted a friend to say she
00:13:05
had gotten back in touch with an ex-boyfriend named Darren law enforcement goes through the phone and
00:13:12
they look in her phone book and they find the name Darren Lopez Jim Holland is a retired Texas Ranger and a CBS News
00:13:20
consultant they're going through and they're finding out every single thing they can about both these people really
00:13:26
discovering them Darren Lopez and Jennifer had dated in high school and reconnected in early 2020 Lopez had a
00:13:34
family of his own and was a special forces Army veteran who earned a purple heart and suffered a brain injury from a
00:13:42
roadside bomb in Iraq that killed 19 soldiers in his unit he is a military veteran going through a divorce himself
00:13:51
uh living in an isolated part of Tennessee uh raising his daughters [Applause] [Music]
00:14:01
authorities learned Lopez owned this 20 acre property in Cumberland Furnace Tennessee and there was something
00:14:10
else Darren Lopez owns a Nissan Titan pickup that just so happens to be black in
00:14:18
color a Nissan Titan the same make and model as the gunman's getaway truck in Jamie Faith's
00:14:26
murder Texas authorities reached out to law enforcement in Tennessee and they actually conducted aerial surveillance
00:14:34
of Darren's house Christy Jack is a prominent Texas defense attorney we asked to review this case and lo and
00:14:42
behold there's this truck with the tea on the back window the white tea the white tea all this time we thought Texas
00:14:50
indeed it was for the University of Tennessee but authorities didn't arrest Lopez after finding his truck they
00:14:57
continued to investig and build their case digging into his phone records what they find is this enormous amount of
00:15:05
communication between Jennifer faith and Darren Lopez sometimes they're communicating more than 500 times a
00:15:12
day but starting the afternoon of October 8th the day before Jaimie was killed Darren and Jennifer stopped
00:15:19
talking for approximately 28 hours that same day Lopez told his daughters he was going out of town on a
00:15:28
hunt trip for a few days according to debit card records he filled up at a gas station near his home
00:15:37
set his GPS for the facei house and headed west for the 10-hour drive to Dallas he doesn't realize it but he's
00:15:46
bringing law enforcement along with the ride with all the evidence he's leaving behind he's leaving this Trail in some
00:15:53
points it's you know giant markers and signs and others it's little breadcrumbs they can actually document where Darren
00:16:01
Lopez was they've seen security video of him at a convenience or a gas station surveillance photos from an
00:16:10
Arkansas gas station show Lopez wearing a blue mask the same color mask Jennifer
00:16:16
Faith told police the killer War at 2:19 a.m. the next morning GPS data shows he arrived at the Faith home
00:16:29
a security camera captured those grainy images of him at the vacant house next door it would make you wonder a lot of
00:16:37
different things you know the level of patience that someone has to you know be able to Stage 5 hours early and sit
00:16:44
there and wait for this murder to transpire at 7:30 a.m. when the Fai came out to walk their dog
00:16:55
Maggie cops say he ambushed them killing Jamie investigators say he then drove 650 Mi back home to Tennessee law
00:17:08
enforcement has to figure out why did he do it did he do it because of his own motives because of you know his love for
00:17:14
Jennifer Faith or did someone else ask him to do it [Music] in January 2021 3 months after Jamie
00:17:36
Faith was murdered Dallas detectives had discovered evidence including thousands
00:17:42
of texts that suggested Jennifer and Darren Lopez had a profound connection bordering on Obsession despite not
00:17:51
having seen each other for decades you have Jennifer who's you know happily married to Jamie and she's carrying out
00:17:58
this you know tremendous amount of communication with her former boyfriend there's no bigger motive for murder than
00:18:06
love or wanting to be with someone else and the texts weren't the only evidence against Lopez detectives also had that
00:18:14
cell phone data placing him near the crime scene and GPS coordinates that showed his exact route they could track
00:18:22
him from Tennessee to Dallas and back to Tennessee to the authorities it all added up to a murder charge now new this
00:18:31
morning an arrest made 3 months after an American Airlines employee was gunned down while walking his dog in Dallas
00:18:38
Police say Darren Lopez Sergeant Joseph Calhoun was there when police pulled Lopez over on January 11th 2021 in Dixon
00:18:48
Tennessee not far from his home he appeared to be nervous um but at the same time he was very quiet inside the
00:18:56
vehicle agents say they found a face mask the same color as the one Jennifer had told police the gunman wore Le she
00:19:05
says that the man had black eyes and was wearing a blue mask as Sergeant Calhoun
00:19:11
transported Lopez to the local jail the investigative team headed for his house their authorities say they found this 45
00:19:20
caliber handgun we know that Jamie was shot with a 45 caliber handgun round authorities say ballistic test
00:19:29
later matched the gun found in Lopez's house to shell casings found at the murder scene even more damning
00:19:37
authorities say that traces of Jaime's blood were found on the gun why the heck would he throw that gun
00:19:45
away you know I don't know if it wasn't some kind of momento some kind of symbol
00:19:50
of his love for her or what he was willing to do to have her and on the day that he is arrested what is he charg
00:19:58
chared with what he's charged with is a gun crime a federal gun crime and at the
00:20:03
state level he's charged with murder he pleaded not guilty to both charges and was transferred to the Dallas County
00:20:10
Jail where he was held on $1 million bail at this point police had become increasingly suspicious of Jennifer was
00:20:20
she involved in the murder plot or covering up for Lopez after the fact on the day of Lopez's arrest Dallas
00:20:28
detectives brought her in for more questioning is that just a coincidence no law enforcements would have Ed that
00:20:36
exactly I mean everything is coordinated uh to ensure that Jennifer doesn't know
00:20:40
that Darren's been arrested detectives say Jennifer denied ever having a sexual relationship with Darren Lopez but
00:20:48
admitted the two communicated every day and the volume was astounding in the six
00:20:54
months leading up to Darren Lopez's arrest cops say the two Tech texted each other
00:21:01
116,000 times when did they have time to sleep when did they have time to eat it
00:21:06
was constant they made sure that they communicated with each other all day long Homeland Security agents dug into
00:21:16
Lopez's phone and recovered text messages where Jennifer and Lopez even discussed deleting texts where they're
00:21:25
talking to one another about factory resetting their phone after Lopez texted Jennifer that he had
00:21:32
deleted texts she wrote big smile over here at that Lopez's phone contained a lot of sexting between the two and many
00:21:41
words of Love Darren wrote I love you with all of my heart and Jennifer responded sleep my angel holding you
00:21:50
tight I mean it goes us so far that uh they're both telling each other good night and talking about you know eating
00:21:57
chips and salsa but Jennifer Faith was not arrested from the start she had played The Grieving Widow remember that
00:22:05
TV interview where Jennifer pleaded for help in finding the getaway truck truck is absolutely critical somebody has got
00:22:13
to know who truck this is because investigators now knew that Jennifer later woke up panicked that the tea was
00:22:20
still on Lopez's truck she wrote something is eating away at me telling me you need to take the sticker out of
00:22:28
the back window of the truck at some point he responds to that text message it says sticker done meaning it's been
00:22:37
removed he's taking it off Jennifer was euphoric Oh yay she texted and then hours later I feel so much better it
00:22:47
looks like conspiracy it looks like a connection between those two individuals who are working together to ensure they
00:22:55
cover their tracks my gut was screaming at me I said hey things things aren't adding up if you're going to kill
00:23:03
someone you're going to kill the witness we wondered why Jennifer hadn't gotten shot we asked her why didn't he shoot
00:23:11
you and she said I think he didn't have any more bullets investigators also learned what
00:23:17
Jennifer had been saying to Lopez in December 2020 after she failed to collect Jaime's
00:23:25
$629,000 life insurance policy Jennifer texted Lopez they aren't processing the claim yet because detective Walton told
00:23:35
them I couldn't be ruled out as a suspect so I called him and basically said what the
00:23:42
f she had the audacity the boldness to contact the police and be righteously indignant as to why she didn't know what
00:23:51
was going on with the investigation and why she had not already been cleared as a
00:23:56
suspect Jennifer was nothing if not bold after Jamie died she began showering Lopez who was in financial
00:24:05
distress with cash and gifts she got some of that money from the GoFundMe account set up to help her deal with
00:24:13
Jaime's loss she drained that money within two months of people donating that sum records show that Jennifer paid
00:24:23
Lopez cash through a venmo account bought airline tickets for him and his daughters and allowed Lopez to use her
00:24:31
credit cards in an email she wrote please don't hesitate to use them for whatever you need this email is Jennifer
00:24:40
directly to Darren here's both of my major credit cards MX has no limit and I think the
00:24:47
Visa has like $35,000 limit I pay them both off every month so you never need to worry about
00:24:54
them being declined There's No Limit here to do it she wants him to do Jennifer seemingly was doing anything
00:25:02
she could to keep Lopez in her Corner even after he was arrested she sent a message to him and she sent through a
00:25:11
third party and she was telling him that she would always love him that she would
00:25:16
always be there for him no matter what happened but was it love or loyalty Jennifer was after she wants to make
00:25:25
sure that he does not talk go inside the case at 48 [Music] hours.com in early 2021 Darren Lopez was
00:25:47
behind bars in the Dallas County Jail and authorities felt they had a solid murder case against him but Jennifer
00:25:55
Faith remained free not charged with any Crime After Darren Lopez is arrested does he turn on Jennifer no no in no way
00:26:05
shape or form he's being the good soldier right yeah he's the Knight he has a sense of Duty and this honor
00:26:11
towards her prosecutors went ahead and built their case against Jennifer without
00:26:18
Lopez's cooperation and on February 24th 20121 48-year-old Jennifer faith is now
00:26:25
facing obstruction of justice charges related to the murder investigation of her husband Jennifer Faith was arrested
00:26:33
but she was not charged with homicide she was charged with obstruction of justice an in-house camera shows her
00:26:40
being booked at the Dallas County Jail the obstruction of justice means if you're tampering with or you're
00:26:46
destroying evidence to prevent its availability in a later trial or to to prevent it being available at all which
00:26:53
is what she was doing in destroying or deleting text messages on her phone or asking Lopez to take that t- sticker off
00:27:01
his truck's window the obstruction charge wasn't enough for Jaime's friend Ross Jensen and I said that wasn't the
00:27:10
charge that I was expecting I said well that's it that's what the charge is Jennifer later pleaded not guilty I
00:27:19
think the police were being very thorough in their investigation and they wanted to bring her into
00:27:25
custody then she doesn't have another opportunity to destroy any further evidence and authorities may have been
00:27:32
glad they did in Jennifer's house they found computers containing a cache of emails that took the investigation in a
00:27:41
whole different direction you know the emails get absolutely bizarre the strangest and most disturbing emails
00:27:49
came from an account in Jamie Faith's name and on the surface it appeared as though Jamie sent these messages most of
00:27:57
the emails are too explicit to show on television and they contain explosive claims that jime was physically and
00:28:06
sexually abusing Jennifer and there was more the emails were addressed to Darren
00:28:12
Lopez revealing an apparent connection between the two men in Jennifer's life it's Jamie Faith sending messages to
00:28:21
Darren that he is going to harm his wife he's going to sexually abuse his wife and he wants
00:28:28
Darren Lopez to see it he writes I am finally going to get what I want from her this weekend he was wanting Darren
00:28:37
to believe that he was going to sexually assault her in all sorts of ways the highly charged emails seem designed to
00:28:46
taunt Lopez to challenge him to action enjoy knowing you can't do an effing thing about it he provoking him he was
00:28:56
provoking him he was goting him as investigators looked more closely at the emails they discovered that some were
00:29:04
coming from a second email address in the name of one of Jennifer's male friends that friend's emails
00:29:12
corroborated the claims of abuse some even had photos attached supposedly depicting what Jaimie had done to
00:29:20
Jennifer pictures that showed injuries pictures that showed injuries and claiming this this is my body this is
00:29:27
what he's doing to me right and there were messages from the friend asking Lopez for help in getting
00:29:34
Jennifer away from jimie Jim Holland now a retired Texas Ranger says the emails clearly made Lopez fear for Jennifer's
00:29:44
safety Lopez wrote to the friend's account I know I won't feel better about her situation until she is away from him
00:29:54
or she lets me put a bullet in Jaime's head I keep offering and she keeps telling me no laugh out loud it's really
00:30:04
pushing daring into this protective mode where he has to help her he has to be the hero he has to save her Holland says
00:30:12
one of Jim's wounds suggests the emails had their desired effect on Darren Lopez
00:30:19
that gunshot to the groin I would guess that there's some type of sexual background or connotation to the murder
00:30:28
based on the shot to the groin you know we sometimes use the phrase that you know you couldn't sell this if you were
00:30:34
a screenwriter in Hollywood it's like a psychological Thriller do you agree yeah
00:30:39
I mean this is stuff that I don't think anyone could really make up there there's so many layers to the onion you
00:30:44
know fact is is better than Fiction at times in this in this case for sure prosecutors weighed the emails
00:30:52
along with all the other evidence they were collecting against Jennifer including her payments and gifts to
00:30:59
Lopez and in September 2021 7 months after she was charged with obstruction Jennifer was charged a
00:31:08
second time Jennifer faith is now charged with murder for hire a federal offense a Dallas woman accused of
00:31:14
orchestrating her husband's murder could face the death penalty I said that's the right charge
00:31:22
that's what I was waiting for in their indictment prosecutors laid out the murder for case against Jennifer
00:31:30
revealing details of the vile email sent to Darren Lopez and a shocking secret about who sent them it was not Jamie at
00:31:41
all that was sending these messages someone else was someone else posing as Jamie pretending to be Jamie it was
00:31:49
Jennifer all along [Music] [Music] when Jennifer Faith was finally charged with murder For Hire prosecutors
00:32:19
delivered that bombshell Jennifer was the one who wrote all those horrible emails to Darren
00:32:26
Lopez there is no question that Jennifer Faith was the puppet master and Darren Lopez was her puppet pulling the strings
00:32:34
and orchestrating her husband Jim's murder it is mindboggling the wherewithal you have to have to help
00:32:42
cultivate fake people fake emails pretending to be your husband to try to manipulate Darren Lopez I haven't seen
00:32:50
anything like that in a very very long time just my mouth on the ground couldn't believe
00:32:58
what she had done the mystery is why what drove Jennifer to want Jamie dead she seemingly had it all a husband
00:33:11
and daughter who loved her Financial Security and a happy home I think the grass is always greener and there were a
00:33:19
million reasons why on top of it you combine his life insurance and his 401k that's more than a million dollar she
00:33:27
wanted more people always want more they always want more than what they have they always think having more having
00:33:32
different having a different person having someone exciting is going to be better than what they have and 48 Hours
00:33:39
found that incredibly it wasn't the first time Jennifer went down this path she did the exact same thing to me we
00:33:50
track down this man Rick lob who was married to her in the early 2000s Jes is just the most evil person
00:34:00
I've ever come in contact with he says shortly after they began dating they took a trip to Disneyland
00:34:08
the so-called happiest place on Earth where Jennifer spun an ugly story of how she'd been abused by her first husband
00:34:17
physical mental emotional sexual just it was shocking it definitely came to a point where
00:34:28
I want to kill him and that lasted for a long time but then he says Jennifer changed her mind it was like oh
00:34:41
you can't do this to my daughter's dad there is no evidence of any abuse Rick says Jennifer wouldn't go to the police
00:34:52
we reached out to her first husband but got no response what is it about Jennifer faith that was so irresistible
00:35:00
to men do you think well there's something about her personality that really Drew men in she had a way about
00:35:09
her of portraying herself as a victim of something and Rick admits he fell for it
00:35:15
was he just the dry run yeah I think so I think ultimately where her failure was in Rick
00:35:22
is this wasn't a guy who's capable of killing someone now is Darren a person that you
00:35:28
would look at and think he's capable of killing someone a US Special Forces operative for more than 20 years in the
00:35:34
military who's been in combat yeah this is a guy you know is going to get the mission done shortly after the murder
00:35:42
for higher charge Holland says self-preservation kicked in and Jennifer Finally Revealed the details of her
00:35:49
intricate manipulative plot to have her husband killed Jennifer Faith decides to
00:35:57
accept a plea agreement she will cooperate with authorities on February 7th 2022 with attorney Toby shook by her
00:36:06
side Jennifer appeared in a Dallas courtroom and pleaded guilty to one count abuse of interstate comerce in the
00:36:14
commission of murder for hire in exchange for the guilty plea prosecutors agreed to take the death
00:36:22
penalty off the table and recommend a life sentence Jim Holland says even the guilty plea was vintage Jennifer she
00:36:32
can't allow herself to face the death penalty because she's incapable of killing herself because at the end of
00:36:39
the day that's the only person she really loves there was one important detail that authorities insisted be part
00:36:46
of that plea she has admit to the fact that her husband never abused her physically or sexually and as for those
00:36:53
photos she'd sent showing injuries she sent images that we know are stock images fake images they're not
00:37:02
real Jennifer also came clean about how she'd spent the GoFundMe money her supporters were devastated it's
00:37:12
heartbreaking it's heartbreaking do you feel that you were taken advantage of it's hard not to feel that way do you
00:37:19
feel betrayed it's hard not to feel that way what kind of person would do that a
00:37:30
Monster yeah a monster she may have used the GoFundMe account to pay Darren Lopez but court
00:37:38
records show that Jennifer did not pay for Jaime's funeral expenses and to this day owes
00:37:47
$6,500 what's more court records also show Jennifer has asked that $200,000 from Jaime's estate be put into
00:37:57
her prison commissary account it's a case of greed manipulation it's a tragedy all the way around she robbed
00:38:06
the community of someone that they respected she robbed her daughter of a father it was a very selfish act on so
00:38:13
many levels Jaime's parents and sister did not attend the hearing the family home was sold and Amber moved out of
00:38:21
Texas with their dog Maggie she still speaks to her mother twice a week I mean in the end Jennifer faith is the
00:38:30
only mother she'll ever know after Jennifer signed her plea deal Lopez also agreed to answer questions
00:38:38
and admitted killing Jaimie he told investigators he reconnected with Jennifer because he was in a very dark
00:38:46
place and initially never intended to reunite romantically or break up her family it's difficult to say which came
00:38:54
first whether it's the chicken or the egg whether their romance was Rec kindled at the same time as her
00:38:59
realization that he's the perfect Pawn now when you say romance it's very unusual romance one in which apparently
00:39:07
they physically were never together they were never physically together at that time but memories are powerful Lopez who
00:39:16
hasn't changed his not- guilty plea also told authorities the murder was Jennifer's idea his attorney has said
00:39:24
publicly that Jennifer took advantage of Lopez who suffered that traumatic brain
00:39:29
injury in the Army I almost feel that Jennifer is more responsible for Jaime's death and Darren because Darren was in
00:39:39
my opinion was just prayed upon by her and she manipulated him to do what she wanted
00:39:53
done those who knew and loved Jamie like former neighbor Melissa Gonzalez are still coping with his death he cared
00:40:02
about people it didn't matter what your race religion he didn't care about any of
00:40:09
that he was just an easygoing guy all right he was the guy for our kids that meant a lot the kind of guy that he was
00:40:20
you can't just get that anywhere friends Teresa and Ross Jensen are grieving too
00:40:27
he was just all around wonderful guy I was blessed to know him I hope that Amber carries some of Jamie forward I
00:40:38
hope she really does something unique and special with his memory [Music] who do you think is more responsible for
00:41:05
Jamie Faith's death a popular dentist and his wife on an African hunting Safari the shotgun
00:41:13
blast killed her almost instantly he said she was packing her gun it boggles the mind of two experienced hunters for
00:41:21
this to have been an accident was there a motive what happened on the Safari 48 hours Saturday on b s
00:41:28
