00:04:19
the harrowing night of September 9th 2016 is forever etched in the memory of Chasey pointer calm yourself down it's
00:04:28
something I can't get out of my head and when I walked up to him I yelled his name and I just felt something when she
00:04:35
says her husband Robert Poynter a decorated fire department Captain was gunned down by a shadowy figure just
00:04:43
feet away from her on this Rural Road in Royce City Texas you can see if you look
00:04:49
below us Tire Treads from tractors deep ruts it's a true Farm Road detective Michael Burke photographed the scene
00:04:58
they're not out of the murder they were still watering the ruts they were still muddy
00:05:03
that was pretty rough it's not even a traveled Road it's for Farmers to use to make access to their
00:05:10
fields that night Sergeant Shane Meek wondered how Chasey and her husband ended up on this broken road and
00:05:19
questioned a breathless Chasey in the back of his squad car breathe for me Miss pointer calm down and breathe for
00:05:25
me okay great fast like that you're not helping yourself okay slow breath Chasey
00:05:30
says the couple planned to meet at a fast food restaurant for tacos I was gonna meet him at the Jack of the
00:05:38
box I don't I don't ever take this road right what made you come down this one I
00:05:43
missed my last one oh you do yeah okay no I I didn't I never never been down this road before she texted her husband
00:05:51
what do you say to him told him uh that GPS said that I was three miles out Casey says while texting she got stuck
00:06:01
[Applause] I called him after that I told him that my jeep was stuck and that I needed him
00:06:08
to come help me as a fire captain Robert was used to coming to the rescue he rushed to her side I sat on the phone
00:06:16
with him he drove out there [Music] why did he park there he told Jacey that the ruts were too deep and he wasn't
00:06:26
going to be able to get his truck down here I met him almost all the way down to his
00:06:31
truck and we walked back together and he went to go get my Jeep got on the driver's side
00:06:38
as Chasey waited on the side of the road for Robert to back up she heard a gunshot
00:06:47
I think I reacted to the sound it was Robert I jumped in the Jeep it was rolling very
00:06:55
slowly I was holding his head in my left hand and I put the Jeep in part with my right hand and I just I was
00:07:03
calling his name you could see his eyes I could just feel the blood foreign this was a clean assassination
00:07:15
Robert unfortunately didn't have a clue what what happened to him the victim was sitting in the driver's
00:07:22
seat he's got an entry wound approximately right here in the temple on the right side of it yes sir and the
00:07:28
wadding from a shotgun shell was still in his skull and could you tell if that blast
00:07:33
was was shot from forward of the vehicle or from behind it was hard to tell Chasey says as she
00:07:41
ran for help she saw that shadowy figure there was a man there's a tall person that's all I know he's taller than me
00:07:50
and what was he wearing a dark clothes designer did you see any type of firearm rifle or anything like it in his hand no
00:07:58
while sympathetic Sergeant Meek was puzzled some guy just happened to be standing in the shadows of the trees to
00:08:05
step out and shoot this guy point blank in the in the head where the gun just didn't make sense all right well give me
00:08:11
a second my partners need to speak to me I'll be right back with you okay I was terrified
00:08:20
I just watched my husband get shot and the man that did it was still out there but whoever that suspect was why would
00:08:33
he want Robert Poynter dead Robert was a devoted public servant a career firefighter
00:08:41
honestly it's one of those things you don't even believe in at first at the University Park Firehouse near
00:08:47
Dallas where Robert spent 19 years as a firefighter and later a captain the pain
00:08:54
of his loss is still raw for his buddies Jason Paul Earl and Mark but every day you still
00:09:06
feel this absence yeah you still miss the man how could you not I think of bob every day I come up here it burns me up
00:09:15
inside but every time I pass his locker I get choked up inside it makes me want to cry I'm about to cry now
00:09:23
a firefighter with the touch of a gentle giant my last fire was Bob this little girl
00:09:33
she was crying Bob took the time covered her and tell her we were all okay and everything was fine
00:09:41
and that's the way Bob always was not just that little girl his girls his girls were number one on his list always
00:09:47
always how much help he needed he was always there Robert Poynter had three daughters a six
00:09:56
and a half year old with Chasey and from his first marriage Natalie and Nicole the things she missed the most are the
00:10:03
simple things like being able to call him being able to see him and hug him you know
00:10:10
back in 2008 his 20-year marriage to their mother Amy Poynter his high school sweetheart began to unravel signs
00:10:20
started showing up that something was amiss he was shorter with conversations he wasn't home as much there were
00:10:27
excuses when he was gone then Nicole discovered her dad had a second cell phone that was the initial
00:10:35
realization that there was somebody else and eventually this other woman you learn her name it was Chasey Tyler
00:10:42
Moorman Chasey was a 20 year old working as a nurse aide she was introduced to Robert
00:10:49
through a mutual friend from the first moment that I ever met him in person we were never apart after
00:10:55
that what was his marital status as far as I knew he was separated from one understand she continued to go up to the
00:11:02
station to kind of let him know that she was interested and did that quite often
00:11:07
she pursued Bob she pursued Bob we'd been married 20 years and here's a young girl that's giving him attention
00:11:16
and I just think that she continued to try and you know fill any need and be there
00:11:22
we started seeing each other in December of 2007 and I I was pregnant by May of 2009. Robert and Chasey were married on
00:11:34
December 28 2009 she was 22. he was 40. I knew I wanted to marry him what is it about Robert that you fell in love with
00:11:46
he's goofy he would just make me laugh but almost seven years later Chasey says the couples love faded
00:11:57
and that night in the squad car Chasey decided to share her frustrations stupid when we got married I didn't want
00:12:06
to be married anymore foreign we've been we've been having problems I was coming to meet him at the Jack In
00:12:28
The Box so we could talk what do you all fight over my doctor he's trying to take
00:12:33
my daughter away from me just over an hour after Chasey Poynter held her husband's bloodied head in her
00:12:39
hands she kept giving Sergeant Meek details not of the shooting we're trying to work on it but of the state of her
00:12:46
marriage why would he try to take your daughter away like what reason did he give you he knows that that's what's
00:12:51
going to hurt me the most yeah her story kept adding all these different twists and turns and pieces of
00:12:58
information that just weren't fitting in the place of the puzzle you're talking about marital problems at a time when
00:13:04
your husband's body is still in the Jeep why did you go there I don't know Chasey says three years into their
00:13:13
marriage the couple grew apart nothing really set it off we slept in separate bedrooms
00:13:21
I never felt he loved me like he could have he loved his ex-wife alive and I felt like she still had a lot of him
00:13:29
according to Chasey Robert had a temper he was taking testosterone and steroids to treat low testosterone levels and
00:13:39
Chasey claims that made him violent there would just be times you know he would grab me by my hair
00:13:46
um I could get thrown up against the wall this was verbal abuse and physical abuse is that
00:13:52
right verbal mental physical Robert's ex-wife Amy doesn't buy it that is all made up and he did get on
00:14:01
treatments he had normal testosterone for her to say that he had Roid Rage and all that that that just wasn't him so
00:14:08
she's lying to me is what you're saying yes I am when Natalie was 16 she lived with her
00:14:14
dad and Chasey for six months and never saw him become violent so it was useless
00:14:20
to try to come to me and act like Dead with some kind of Beast did you ever see him slam chase
00:14:28
you against a wall absolutely not Natalie and Nicole have told us that it never happened are they
00:14:37
telling the truth no sir they've never really cared for me from the beginning I was the younger girl that came in and
00:14:43
took their father Chasey believes she had a good reason for not reporting the alleged abuse to
00:14:50
authorities you know I don't walk out and announce he's beating on me I'm not going to do that because it would
00:14:57
jeopardize his job despite their problems Chasey says she tried to keep the spark alive in the
00:15:04
marriage I don't mean to embarrass you with this but what is this from this was done before Robert I had a friend of
00:15:12
mine who was a photographer and she did a Boudoir shoot for me he wasn't attracted to me after I lost all the
00:15:18
weight he he liked me when I was heavier over a two-year span Chasey transformed
00:15:24
her body the first picture is December probably about 2013. uh the second picture was December 2015.
00:15:34
I lost a total of 104 pounds I got up every morning ran strict diet worked out I pushed myself pretty hard
00:15:44
Chasey admits she began seeing other men a lot of men when I dropped the weight I
00:15:50
didn't hide in his shadow anymore you had confidence correct I started meeting people
00:15:55
you know I was going out more I was doing things for myself Natalie accidentally found evidence on
00:16:02
Chase's computer that her stepmother was cheating she had left to open on her Facebook and
00:16:08
she was talking to Men on there that weren't dad what kind of conversations very sexual and gross
00:16:16
Natalie says while her father pulled overnight shifts at the firehouse Chasey often snuck out for hours at a time
00:16:24
leaving Natalie and her then four-year-old sister alone she was never wearing gym clothes but
00:16:31
she always said she was going to the gym and often my little sister would wake up
00:16:35
and she would cry and cry because she couldn't find her mom Natalie eventually Found the courage to
00:16:42
tell her dad about Chase's cheating ways I will stand up for what I know what I believe in and that to me wasn't right
00:16:50
you said what so I think Tracy's cheating on you deeply troubled Robert filed paperwork
00:16:56
for divorce but ended up not following through he was trying to save the marriage he had already been divorced
00:17:03
once he didn't want to lose his his third daughter and not be able to be with her all the time Robert installed a
00:17:10
security camera next to the front door to try and catch Chasey cheating with one of her lovers
00:17:17
then just 12 days before Robert's murder the doorbell rang as soon as that doorbell rang I was out that door
00:17:25
telling him he had to go and off he runs and Robert knew correct I love him he's pain in the ass but I
00:17:34
love him on the night of Robert's murder Sergeant Meek had a hunch that Chasey Poynter knew more than she was saying
00:17:42
something just didn't sit right JC do you mind if I she was read right look up at me
00:17:53
all right listen to me you have the right to remain silent anything you say Cannon will be used against you in a
00:17:57
court of law how'd your friend's house but Chasey kept on talking better friends yeah revealing what she was up
00:18:04
to before that fateful rendezvous with her husband whose house was that Michael Garza hanging out with someone named
00:18:12
Michael Garza are you and Michael Garza dating or anything like that you have a relationship yes well then that red flag
00:18:20
goes off did y'all have a date was it date night no we we just hung out wait we had sex obviously
00:18:30
watch more of the police body camera [Music] okay what were you saying I'm sorry he's
00:18:45
contacted an attorney to get a divorce and I was okay I was okay with that we've been married
00:18:54
six years almost seven years investigators say the more Chasey pointer talked the more she seemed like
00:19:01
a suspect than a grieving wife we we don't we don't meet up the hyperventilating's now stopped and she's
00:19:08
gone into this stutter talking so I which leads me to believe that she does these pauses and so hi Tom to gather
00:19:20
additional thoughts so are you thinking is this a performance yes sir it started
00:19:25
seeming more and more that way and a performance with a recurring character Michael Garza I was at Michael's house
00:19:32
at Michael's house and what tell me his name again I'm sorry Michael Garza Michael Gardner yes y'all have a
00:19:38
relationship yes yes yes Michael Garza who is he he was a place that I would go to to vent and and I
00:19:45
loved him for that Chase he began having an affair with Michael Garza after meeting him on Facebook in the summer of
00:19:53
2016. this selfie captured one intimate moment it was something I felt guilty about
00:20:00
Robert shared his frustrations about Chasey with his buddies at the firehouse and I told him hey you just got to cut
00:20:08
your losses divorce sucks but you're miserable and he said yeah you're right you're right
00:20:14
but I'm invested those are the exact words I'm invested in this Robert was hopeful the marriage could be
00:20:21
saved he took Chasey and their daughter to Mexico on vacation but it backfired we fought
00:20:29
he thought I was on the phone with somebody else it upset him it was the Wednesday that Bob had come
00:20:37
home from Mexico he said the trip wasn't good he said I just can't do this anymore and
00:20:43
when did he die that's right not long after Chasey told Sergeant Meek about the affair with Michael Garza I'll
00:20:51
be transporting the female to Royse City police department she was driven downtown to be questioned by
00:20:59
detective Michael Burke let me get this door let's have to sit right there the interrogation started at 2 20 in the
00:21:10
morning [Music] it lasted eight hours I love them I I really do love them we've had a lot of issues in our
00:21:24
marriage among those issues her affair with Garza Michael and I ended up having sex while I was there
00:21:31
and she gave more detail about Robert's murder right to the front line maybe I could see dark clothes that's it
00:21:44
I don't know as a white like I don't know anything somebody for what you're saying shoots
00:21:52
your husband cold-blooded murder and just let you run away there was someone sitting there when somebody
00:21:59
comes out to murder a random stranger you know a big red flag is that they don't let a witness go and that
00:22:06
suggested what to you suggested she might have known the killer look the way your husband was
00:22:11
killed somebody was right next to him detective Burke pressed her I think you're full of crap
00:22:16
I don't know who pulled the trigger see I think you do and that's the problem no
00:22:20
I don't two hours into the interrogation detective Burke broke through [Music] you say that letter for me please
00:22:34
[Music] Mikey as in Michael Garson instead of passenger side now cornered Chasey changed her entire story she says
00:22:48
she told Garza about Robert's alleged anger issues [Music] like boys Chasey told 48 Hours Garza rode with her
00:23:05
that night the plan was to confront Robert outside the Jack-in-the-Box and demand
00:23:11
leave Chasey alone did you see him put a shotgun in your vehicle yes sir you never saw a shotgun
00:23:21
no sir how can that be true I was on my phone Garza tells me make a right onto County
00:23:28
Road 25.95 I've been asking what was going on he said he's going to meet us here
00:23:35
Chasey now claims it was Garza setting a trap he told me to take my Jeep back up
00:23:42
around the first corner and let Robert know that my jeep was stuck and I need him to come help me
00:23:49
you had to tell Robert something to get him to come to the location right yes sir but
00:23:55
my Jeep wasn't stuck when Robert arrived she noticed something kind of touching he wore the cologne that he wore on our
00:24:06
wedding day and he hadn't worn it since and I made a joke about it and he laughed Robert could never have
00:24:15
imagined that he was just moments away from death as I was walking to the Jeep I said stop
00:24:22
who are you yelling stop to to Garza but why would you have shouted that way if this was just going to be a conversation
00:24:28
between two men isn't that indicative that you shouted stop because that meant don't shoot him no
00:24:36
I didn't at that point I didn't want him to even talk to Robert at that moment sorry
00:24:46
at that time there was a gunshot foreign did Garza say anything to you nothing until after I called 9-1-1
00:25:02
did he run up to me and he took my phone from me when he threw it down on the ground
00:25:10
prosecutor Jeff Kovach doesn't buy any of it the question is which one of those stories does she want us to believe
00:25:17
heard him scare him or just have a talking to none of them are credible investigators believed that you were
00:25:27
luring your husband to this remote area so he could be murdered there was no plan to to bring him out and murder him
00:25:37
there was no talk of that [Music] on September 10th the morning after her husband's murder
00:25:49
Casey Poynter was arrested for conspiracy to commit murder the couple's daughter would stay with Chase's mother
00:25:58
did you conspire to have your husband murdered no sir you're telling me that you are speaking the truth yes sir
00:26:06
investigators then set out to find the man who allegedly shot Robert Poynter but Michael Garza the truck driver
00:26:16
had hit the road [Music] [Music] the funeral is absolutely beautiful it was very ceremonial
00:26:44
on September 15 2016 just five days after his wife was charged in his death Captain Robert Poynter was laid to rest
00:26:55
we had guards guarding his urn his ashes the entire time Firefox from All Over Texas honored him
00:27:04
did the Fireman's Prayer [Music] when duty calls me oh Lord wherever Flames May rage
00:27:14
give me the strength to save some life whatever be its age I remember trying to hold it all
00:27:22
together and then when I lost it it's when we walked out other fire stations and police came in
00:27:30
and they lined from the church all the way to the fire station I remember the bagpipes
00:27:38
painful one of the hardest things is they give the last call for Robert Poyner you
00:27:45
still think that person's still there somewhere that this couldn't have happened
00:27:50
that's the thing with Bob you always had this underlying feeling that even if he
00:27:55
had a walk through fire somehow that man would make it through Amy Says in the lastest days of his life
00:28:02
Robert was finally ready to walk away from Chasey it was kind of beaten down he was tired where he was just ready you
00:28:11
know to get a divorce I think she knew he was ready to move on investigators say just the day before he
00:28:18
was gunned down Robert had reached out to a divorce attorney on Facebook sending this provocative message I'm
00:28:26
thinking of a surprise attack he said something to her about a surprise attack on me he had contacted a
00:28:33
realtor said he was going to put the house up for sale he was going to have custody of
00:28:38
our daughter the next day he is killed do you think that's just a coincidence that's not a coincidence that's why the
00:28:44
murder happened when the murder happened what was the attraction for Chasey with
00:28:48
your dad was it Love or Money Money Natalie says Chasey had convinced her father to change his almost
00:28:56
685 thousand dollar life insurance policy instead of the girls getting the money Chasey was made the primary
00:29:05
beneficiary we believe that was the motive that she saw him as an ATM machine and he was going to milk the
00:29:11
last little bit of money she could get out of him prosecutor Calvin Grogan says investigators discovered a mountain of
00:29:20
digital evidence there were plenty of text messages after the life insurance beneficiary
00:29:29
designation change occurred in April indicating that Chasey Poynter was looking for somebody that would take
00:29:35
care of Robert and many of those techs more than ten thousand were between Chasey and her
00:29:42
lovers she's having affairs with multiple men Danny Mims Brad golden Sean butcher Michael Garza
00:29:50
prosecutors believe Chasey began grooming Garza for murder convincing him that Robert was an imminent threat she
00:29:58
used sex to manipulate men she's not going to come right out so I hate when you kill my husband for me Stacy
00:30:04
pointers plays the victim and then she uses that to manipulate people and so she told all of these men that she's
00:30:11
just abused battered woman she texted Garza from that Mexican vacation where the couple was to reconcile quote he's
00:30:20
coming after me sooner or later Garza answers F him no I will shot that dude it's Michael Garza talking about
00:30:31
murdering your husband I didn't think he was serious I didn't want him involved I
00:30:36
told him that I'm telling you man this girl is good this is Brad golden she would be in my
00:30:43
house every day every day he's the lover caught on the security camera video says Chasey manipulated him I never even
00:30:55
suspected suspected more never should have been married she had told me she'd been
00:31:02
divorced since 2014. Brad says Chasey told him horror stories about Robert She always told me
00:31:10
the reviews of turf I don't know she was trying to give me to feel sorry for her
00:31:14
and I just wasn't falling for it or whatever because I kept trying to geared to me you know were you ever able to
00:31:21
collaborate any of her story of abuse we spoke to neighbors we spoke to friends I
00:31:27
mean there was no evidence to support it at all Chasey had made allegations about
00:31:32
Robert's anger issues to ex-lovers Sean Butcher and Danny Mims who she often texted eight days prior to the murder I
00:31:41
wish he'd run out of air in a fire moving back to July 11th I need him gone gone g-o-n-e all capitalized
00:31:50
Danny Mims replies I'm not a magician Chasey answers well I need one did you want him dead no
00:31:59
I was upset Sean butcher says to Chasey what do you need to leave Tracy Poynter says I would be better off with him gone
00:32:09
benefits and can't lose custody investigators have said you were going from person to person
00:32:16
to try to find someone who would kill your husband I wasn't the day before the murder it's
00:32:22
from Chasey de garz I've made up my mind what do you think she's made up her mind
00:32:26
about I think it's pretty clear it's about killing Robert Poynter with Michael Garza on the run a SWAT
00:32:35
team raided his house [Music] coming up empty but the next day Garza turned himself in
00:32:47
and he was charged with Robert poynter's murder he did not want to speak to us only
00:32:53
wanted to speak to his attorney and that's as far as we got with their two suspects now Behind Bars
00:32:59
investigators hope to find direct evidence linking Garza to the murder five weeks later that evidence would
00:33:10
come from a farmer and I believe I found the shotgun who Unearthed the murder weapon while
00:33:19
plowing this field less than a quarter mile from where Robert was shot that shotgun was still
00:33:29
loaded the shell hadn't been ejected okay and there's two more uh in the magazine and they're all man killing
00:33:36
slugs consistent with what the medical examiner said when she used to kill Robert Poynter we did a a search on the
00:33:43
firearm Mossberg 835 ultimatic I came back to Matthew Garza Michael Garza's brother
00:33:51
police now had what they needed Michael Garza would be the first to face trial Michael Garza just happened to be the
00:34:00
person that was in Chase's life at the right time and all it really took for Chase is to basically just dangle the
00:34:06
debate [Music] do you think Chasey intended to scare her husband or kill him chat now with
00:34:15
the 48 Hours team on Facebook and Twitter [Music] and then when I was up there was nobody
00:34:31
there okay I'm crazy from her bizarre performance the night her husband was murdered to
00:34:38
her confession about her lover Michael Garza Michael was gonna shoot he was gonna do it
00:34:45
investigators were convinced Chasey Poynter was determined to have her husband killed that night he's around
00:34:53
the corner investigators believe you knew about the mission planned the mission to murder your husband for money
00:35:00
that's what they say and look at me they're right aren't they no sir on July 10 2018 the prosecution put the
00:35:12
alleged trigger man Michael Garza on trial he had pleaded not guilty when Garza took the stand he made a
00:35:21
shattering announcement implicating Chasey he says that he gave her his brother because he thought that
00:35:27
she was abused he implied that she did it Garza told the court he couldn't have murdered Robert Poynter because he was
00:35:35
tending to a sick animal on the Family Farm his Alibi is that he was tended to Oreo the cow while this whole murder was
00:35:43
going on the jury didn't find Garza's Alibi credible I actually do believe that his
00:35:51
testimony helped us on July 20th Michael Garza was found guilty and sentenced to
00:35:58
99 years in prison foreign it was a huge step forward but it also felt like the real battle
00:36:12
had just begun the pointer family now focused on chasing in my mind she's always pulled the
00:36:18
trigger because she was the instigator of all of it what were you thinking going into trial
00:36:25
I was very hopeful prosecutors were hopeful too that they would prove Chasey wanted Robert's money and that she was
00:36:34
The Mastermind there's no way Michael Garza was ever going to get Robert Poyner out on that road alone only Chase
00:36:42
he could do that and she played her part well using Chase's texts prosecutors demonstrated that her alleged love for
00:36:50
Michael Garza was really a Sinister ploy he is upon he's the dumb idiot she got to do this
00:36:59
in fact Garza didn't know that after he she shot Robert Chasey planned on spending the night with another lover
00:37:06
she was texting Brad golden while she's out there committing this Murder She had
00:37:11
sex with Brad gold that morning they still planned to meet up that night what the heck is going on
00:37:19
I don't know my life was out of control chasey's defense attorneys Scott cornod and Frank Hughes say the state's
00:37:29
obsession with Chase's Affairs tainted the jury Tracy have an Affairs has nothing to do
00:37:36
with murder it just demonizes her Chasey pointer is not guilty of murder she's guilty of being negligent because she
00:37:44
should have anticipated that this Thug Garza would commit a murder to get to her calling 9-1-1 is probably the
00:37:53
strongest point that we have in her defense no one who planned to kill someone would shoot them and call 9-1-1
00:38:03
but the prosecutors argued at the sight of her dead husband Chasey had a moment of Cheers
00:38:11
it's one thing to talk about killing somebody it's another thing to go through with it
00:38:18
while Chasey chose not to take the stand jurors did hear her speak he knew that I
00:38:24
was seeing someone through those recorded police videos I didn't want to be married anymore one that captured
00:38:31
this revealing moment at the end of her two-week trial the jury began its deliberations we waited
00:38:46
for a while hour two hour three hours went by after the fourth hour hey okay they have a verdict okay
00:38:57
Chasey Poynter was found guilty of murder I cried and I'm relieved they got it that they saw who she really
00:39:10
was she met him and she walked him to his death smiling and giggling talking about tacos and cologne
00:39:20
she's evil [Music] Chasey told me that you always had Robert's heart I think that's true she took away all
00:39:31
choice of anybody of having any relationship or any you know future with him this is his bunker gear having it is
00:39:42
almost like having part of his presence which is comforting in a way and uh painful in another
00:39:50

00:40:01
