My uncle Joe's creativity made his photography so special. He had the eye of a child. His sense of humor was
00:00:14
unmatched and it really showed through all of his art. I worked with a lot of photographers and Joe was the best. He
00:00:22
had such a magnetic personality. >> Every picture I see, he just looks so charismatic, bright blue eyes. Yes.
00:00:29
anytime he'd see you, hey, like his mouth like lit up, his eyes went wide. If you were judging somebody by their
00:00:36
appearance, you'd say, you know, he's a he's a jock. And then you talk to him for 2 minutes and he's this deep soul
00:00:42
that was a school teacher in DC. When you were with him, you wanted to be better.
00:00:51
I got a call from my dad and he's like, "We can't find Uncle Joe." I knew right away that something really
00:00:59
sinister had happened. >> 911 emergency. What is your name? >> My name is Heather Snider.
00:01:06
>> I'm Heather Snider. I'm Joe Shamansky's ex-wife. >> Okay, Heather, tell me exactly what
00:01:11
happened. >> I was returning my two children to my ex's house. He's missing. We don't know
00:01:18
where he is. >> His car was there. His phone was there. His wallet was there. Where is he?
00:01:23
>> All right. So, we are here because your h your ex-husband Joe is missing right
00:01:28
now. >> It was surreal like what's going on? >> We all knew Joe wasn't missing. We all
00:01:34
knew Joe was gone and it was just a couple of days later that they had found his remains.
00:01:41
>> So, at that point, this had gone from a missing person's case to a homicide. >> Technically, yeah.
00:01:47
>> It's like I'm living in a horror movie. >> Are you in any relationship right now?
00:01:52
Upon questioning Heather, they asked her who her last boyfriend was, and she mentioned Brandon Hullbrook.
00:02:00
>> The police focused in on Brandon Hullbrook as the sole perpetrator. >> Brandon Hullbrook had no motive.
00:02:07
>> There are no forensics linking my client to this crime. >> This story is not about a guy who
00:02:14
decided to drive 200 miles and kill a man that he had never met. Do you think Heather Snider played some
00:02:21
role in your uncle's murder? >> Yes. I wish I had answers. I don't know anything.
00:02:28
>> It's a big twist in the story. >> We know each other. >> We do. We grew up together.
00:02:34
>> We did. >> Heather Snider I grew up with was an A student. >> Mhm. Cheerleader, field hockey player.
00:02:43
>> Mhm. One of the most unlikely people to be caught up in a murder case. Correct.
00:02:49
>> Did you have any involvement at all in Joe Shamansky's murder? >> No. >> Do you believe any of it?
00:02:55
>> No. >> We need to piece the pieces of the puzzle together. >> We know there's more to this story. We
00:03:02
can't rest until the whole truth comes out.
