[Music] Angel D's first love was the beach. From the time we were kids, I think the beach was just always a part
00:00:21
of her life. I'm Susan Bworth, Angel Downs's younger sister. [Music] Angel was a free spirit. She was very
00:00:32
loving and caring. [Music] Angel was a beautiful person with a very, very big heart.
00:00:46
Angel DS was one of my best friends. My name is Steven Nodine. I'm a former county commissioner in Mobile, Alabama,
00:00:52
a former city council member, and a political operative. We loved each other. We love
00:00:58
being around each other and I had a six-year affair with her while I was married. Steve Odine was a very
00:01:05
well-liked politician. I'm Jack Tib, former sheriff of Mobile County. He run with some uh pretty powerful
00:01:13
people. And apparently he had connections in Washington. When I first met him, he's he's was very
00:01:21
charming, very sweet to her. She fell for him. She fell in love. But as time went on, she realized Steven was not
00:01:31
leaving his wife. Anytime she would try to end the relationship, he would get angry. Steven Odon had a um a double
00:01:43
personality. One moment he was happy golucky, but if you made him angry, he turned into a completely different
00:01:49
person. I just asked her, I said, "What is it going to take for you to leave him? For
00:01:54
him to kill you?" I never seen a violent side from him. Never. 911. What is your emergency shot? Unit
00:02:03
501. Female is laying on the ground bleeding heavily. Gunshot wound to the head. Every bit of
00:02:10
evidence showed it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. There was a red truck here and he left
00:02:18
very quickly. And I'm pretty sure the man's name is Steven. I've been wrongfully accused of the
00:02:25
murder of Angel DS. There were several occasions where she said, "I'm probably going to lose my life to him." There's a
00:02:32
lot of theories out there, uh, but I know that when I have to meet the Lord God Almighty, I can stand up there and
00:02:39
say that I did not shoot, harm, hurt Angel Downs in any form or fashion. I was adamant. Her friends were adamant.
00:02:47
We were all adamant it was not suicide. Steven killed Angel.
