[Music] Matthew Trussler was found dead on his patio on October 18th 2019 and two years
00:00:06
later his fiance Melissa Turner went on trial for murder security footage and audio would prove to be the key in the
00:00:14
case against her what could you hear what kind of phrases so I heard um get up get
00:00:22
up get up I heard so and then there was an explicit die you heard so die and then I heard um you know it sounded
00:00:33
like a female voice was crying saying what what did I do security footage from inside their
00:00:40
own home showed Melissa as the aggressor according to prosecutors at 3:38 a.m. Melissa was
00:00:50
seen running towards her office minutes later Matthew walked past the camera and Melissa followed him
00:01:00
he's walking calmly unarmed in the ADT videos and she's following him hunched over angry at 4:01 a.m. the video showed
00:01:09
Melissa running from the direction of the kitchen appearing distressed this was also around the time
00:01:16
when a neighbor's outdoor nest camera across the street picked up audio of screaming and
00:01:25
yelling then in the next video clip at 4:08 a.m. she's standing at a front door and she's seeming like she's talking to
00:01:33
open air and you can see on her hand you can see the hint of red she already has
00:01:38
the cut a bloody cut that Melissa eventually revealed to investigators open your hand more there
00:01:49
H to open it up so oh my gosh I didn't SL pretty good I didn't even notice oh wow I had no idea that was
00:01:59
there prosecutors say the cut on her hand occurred when Melissa stabbed Matthew they believe he was still alive
00:02:06
at that point and that she could have left for help or called 911 that's not what she did she walks
00:02:13
back to where he is she is not in reasonable fear of of him that's what's clear but defense attorney John travina
00:02:23
rejected the state's timeline and disputed what prosecutors said was seen on that video I never saw any cut on her
00:02:30
hand and I don't think it shows that the fighting continued according to prosecutors and around 4:30 a.m. they
00:02:37
say the couple moved close to an open window that nest camera across the street recorded a woman's angry
00:02:51
voice I didn't do what they're saying I did if I'm going to prison then I'm going down viting
00:03:00
I'm going down telling my side of the story what did the jury decide and I was like that right there tells me you know
00:03:10
exactly what's going on now
