I'm Peter vanent correspondent for 48 hours and welcome to my office a lot of people think we spend lots of time here
00:00:08
but in fact most of my time is spent on the road this is where lesie was standing when the photo was taken while
00:00:15
48 hours will follow a trial for weeks at a time people in the state of Colorado versus Frederick Muller I
00:00:21
always want to get to the scene you can hear the creek in the distance especially in a story like this where
00:00:27
the accused says his wife fell off a cliff little treacherous here isn't it yeah
00:00:33
this is the beautiful mountain community of Lake City Colorado lots of wealthy Texans have summer homes here we hiked
00:00:41
along the exact spot where Fred and Lesley Muller were when tragedy Struck One Step and you're over the edge here
00:00:48
Fred was there these glasses were found way up here while spectacular this is wild country and the creek can be quite
00:00:59
treacherous for our camera crew so 48 Hours took to the air hiring a drone camera and crew this
00:01:09
remote controlled craft was able to go where we couldn't down the fast moving Waters where lesie Muller's body was
00:01:16
taken eventually ending up at this down tree where'd you put your foot to get to
00:01:22
this we did some climbing of our own he goes up and you can help him up yeah the
00:01:27
Steep and Rocky terrain was at times a challenge for me and my 48 Hours Team 1 2 3
00:01:35
go as I approached the cliff where Lesley Muller's last known photograph was taken and she had her arm around the
00:01:41
dog I tried to imagine her final seconds of life according to Fred lesle fell from this Cliff above me about 20 ft but
00:01:50
somehow didn't land in this rocky area that's about 6 foot wide instead she somehow landed out on this Boulder and
00:01:58
was Swept Away with all its twists and turns Cottonwood Creek like this story left us with more questions than
00:02:08
