once you positively identified the body as pawns then what' you do you know we we don't automatically assume things but
00:00:06
we're suspicious of certain things and when you go to this much trouble to dispose of a body it's sometimes an
00:00:13
indicator that this is somebody known to the victim why was it so obvious it was
00:00:17
a homicide well it was a person that was weighted down with cement blocks in a in
00:00:21
a bag thrown in the river they were not only trying to weight the body down they
00:00:25
were trying to dispose of it to a degree that it would never be found how early on were you pretty sure that Dennis did
00:00:32
this when I I found that uh cement anchor in his backyard he's called you a liar he said you falsified evidence what
00:00:40
do you think of that you know uh I imagine he's probably not very pleased with me because we bird
00:00:46
dogged him you know and I mean I wouldn't let it go I think he just thought that he should get away with it
00:00:52
I'm not sure what evidence he says I falsified he says the concrete didn't really wasn't actually an exact match uh
00:01:01
well it was exact enough for me and it was exact enough for the grand jury there was nothing distinguishable from
00:01:07
the concrete in his backyard from the concrete that we found in the bag I'm sure you have a theory on what happened
00:01:14
this is my theory this is not fact uh but I think he started planning it on ship I I think he planned it out I
00:01:20
really do it was that premeditated yeah I I think he'd already made up his mind that this was not going to happen to him
00:01:26
again he'd already had gone through one bad divorce what do you think his motive
00:01:29
was I think it was avarest I think he just thought he was going to lose his house
00:01:34
have to pay child support he was worried about losing money losing his house and
00:01:40
she was not doing what he he wanted to do this guy's a very controlling person do you think Dennis should ever get
00:01:46
parole no I don't why not I just think he's a dangerous individual you know to kill somebody and deprive their little
00:01:53
children of a parent forever just over some money I don't have a lot of sympathy for
00:02:02
people like that
