So, it's no surprise that police are quick to make a connection between Wendy's case and that of another call
00:00:06
that officers responded to on the night of the murder. You see, there was this guy who we're going to call Dale at the
00:00:13
request of Sergeant Venosa. And the night of Thanksgiving, this 29year-old showed up to the emergency room covered
00:00:21
in blood and cuts. Now, Dale's story to doctors and then to police when the doctors called them in was that he was
00:00:29
attacked by a couple of guys while walking down the street. Except when they tried to dig into the details of
00:00:36
Dale's claim, which should be pretty easy to verify based on where and when he said it happened, they can't find
00:00:43
anyone who witnessed this attack. They can't find any sign that it took place on the street he said it did. And Dale
00:00:50
also keeps changing his story. So the police start getting suspicious, thinking that, okay, maybe Dale isn't
00:00:58
the victim in this scenario. Maybe he's our suspect. And while he wasn't necessarily staying with her at the
00:01:04
time, it is very interesting when they learned that Dale's mother lived on Rosewood Terrace, just a block from the
00:01:12
school, same street that the Blood Trails found on. >> Yeah. >> And I told you this is a close-knit
00:01:17
community. And what's interesting is Marlene told us that she knew this Dale guy kind of like tangentially. So at
00:01:23
some point police corner Dale. They tell him they know that he's full of it and he breaks. He finally admits he lied.
00:01:32
But the confession that comes out of his mouth is not at all what they were expecting.
