this case had sat dormant for a couple of years how did you get involved in 2010 I was just finishing up
00:00:08
a two-year assignment in a Cold Case unit and one afternoon Detective Mike melis shows up at my desk and he hey
00:00:16
have you ever taken a look at the Nicole Pete's case are you aware of that case and I said no I haven't but you know I I
00:00:22
certainly will I said yeah I want you to take a look at that I just had a phone call with her mother Gail and quite
00:00:27
honestly I don't want to have to sit down through another call like that again so take a look at it get back with
00:00:33
me and let's let's see what we can do with this and by the time all that was said and done I went back to Mike and I
00:00:38
said you know what Mike you're right there's plenty of evidence here there's plenty of leads for us to follow up on
00:00:43
to tighten up to kind of flesh out a little bit more we can resolve this case there's enough here for us to work with
00:00:50
let's go and how far is this location from the Pete's home from their condo it's going to be just about 30 m
00:00:59
from here directly up to the condo even though we're near the city this is this pretty wild back here it is
00:01:09
it's uh pretty overgrown back here it's always been kind of a popular way for people to cut from one end of the city
00:01:15
to the other or go from Seacor Burian especially if you're on foot people take shortcuts over the hill uh don't
00:01:21
typically come back in here so the killer brought Nicole's naked body back here and where was it
00:01:27
placed under some blackberry bushes just just about 3 or four yards from where we're standing and you hit it right on
00:01:33
the head she wasn't drugged back here somebody carried her back here and put her up underneath those bushes hoping
00:01:38
that she wouldn't be found talk about a mystery this is baffling a successful popular woman loving wife ends up among
00:01:49
these Thorns near Seatac Airport naked with a A Night Guard in her mouth that's one of the strangest
00:01:57
set circumstances I heard of it is no reason for her to be down here uh that we ever found out for the initial
00:02:05
investigators when they find her they figure out several hours later who she is uh looking at some bulletins of
00:02:11
missing persons that had been distributed becomes clear to them as Nicole pets uh right away they're
00:02:16
looking at it as in their minds who done it who could have been responsible for this
