[Music] I was at the New Haven Police Department when I heard our dispatch taking a call
00:00:10
from a frantic caller. >> 911. What's the address to your emergency? Oh my. There's blood everywhere and I can't
00:00:18
look all over. >> I immediately got in my car, alerted officer Sheny Brookke. We activated our
00:00:24
lights and sirens and proceeded to the scene. >> It was a little after 4:00 in the
00:00:28
morning. He's not responding. >> Okay, I'm going to have help on the way to you. They'll be there in just a few
00:00:33
minutes. Okay, >> as we approach the house, >> is he breathing? >> I see who I later found to be Allison
00:00:41
Davis out in the front yard waving me down. >> I'm sorry. I'm like in pajamas. >> You're fine.
00:00:48
>> I asked where the victim was right there. >> She directed me in through the kitchen
00:00:54
>> by the front door. I could see a male laying face down with a large pool of blood around his head.
00:01:00
>> What's your name? >> Davis. >> Kevin Davis. >> Did Allison attempt to talk to Kevin?
00:01:07
>> No, sir. Not that I ever saw. >> Kevin, can you hear us? >> Kevin, >> just stay here.
00:01:14

00:01:17
>> Okay. When did you when did you find him? Like >> just now? I woke up. I be on a fight
00:01:22
last night and I was sleeping on the couch and he was sleeping upstairs and all of a sudden I woke up to a loud bang
00:01:28
and I was like what is >> this just doesn't look like a >> after I got the prognosis from the
00:01:36
paramedics. >> Hey medicics confirmed C minus I went up and let her know that he is extremely
00:01:42
critical. >> Right now we're treating this as a crime scene due to his condition. Okay. I
00:01:48
inform her that at this point she cannot go back into the house. >> Like why is it being treated as a crime
00:01:54
scene? >> Just due to his condition. Okay. He's critical right now. >> All right. So
00:02:00
>> the crime scene part really surprised her. >> She doesn't have a normal reaction for
00:02:04
me telling her husband's critical, right? >> I think she's still shot. >> You think so?
00:02:09
>> I had Detective Krueger paged out. >> I get the call. It's about 5:00 in the morning. So I get dressed, show up on
00:02:15
scene. Allison standing outside relatively very calm. >> He said that you guys were at East Haven
00:02:21
last night. >> She says they're out drinking at East Haven Tavern. >> We got home. He had some more beers.
00:02:34
>> And she said that >> she had slept on the couch. >> And then I woke up to a loud noise and
00:02:39
when I came over I saw him face down. She said he had fallen down the stairs and there was blood everywhere. I asked
00:02:47
her if I could search the home. She uh said that she wanted to cooperate. Signed my consensus search paper and I
00:02:54
go into the home. I verify >> she was sleeping. >> There's a blanket and a pillow on the
00:03:00
couch. The TV's on. Someone was just sleeping there. Checks out. Um she said that they had a couple of beers when
00:03:06
they got home. There's beer cans lined up. Everything seemed to be normal. My alarm had just gone off for work and
00:03:15
I get a phone call from Allison. My name is Casey Clem and Allison Davis is my best friend. There was an accident and
00:03:24
Kevin had fallen and he was on his way to the hospital. I said, "Say no more. I'm on my way." She like just fell apart
00:03:32
in my arms and just started hysterically crying. They had pronounced him brain dead.
00:03:39
When I was sitting next to Allison at the hospital, Detective Krueger called. >> I said that the scene is released. You
00:03:45
you can return home, get closed, whatever you need to do. >> And he suggested that we have someone
00:03:49
come clean this up and that there was a lot of blood. >> In hindsight, I would have held the
00:03:54
scene for longer. After the autopsy, that's when it started to change. This is no accident.
00:04:02
>> She didn't do this. She never would have done this. >> It's a homicide. Did Allison Davis
00:04:09
murder her husband, Kevin?
