effect when investigators discover that
00:02:10
Samy's wallet is missing the murder
00:02:12
looks like a random act of
00:02:14
violence but before long police learned
00:02:17
that at least three people might have
00:02:19
wanted Sammy dead his twin brother
00:02:23
Danny Samy's girlfriend Pat's
00:02:26
sne and Pat's estranged husband Bob
00:02:31
Bean what began as a routine
00:02:33
investigation quickly became a classic
00:02:36
case of Love Lies and Murder it all
00:02:39
started when Sammy wheeler began dating
00:02:42
Pat's
00:02:43
need at the time pat was leaving her
00:02:46
husband Bob bean and taking her two sons
00:02:49
with her they moved into a rental unit
00:02:52
owned by Samy's twin brother Danny Pat
00:02:54
and her boys lived in one apartment with
00:02:56
Sammy and Dany lived in one of the
00:02:59
others the arrangement worked for
00:03:01
everyone except Bob Bean the situation
00:03:05
was not really what was in the best
00:03:07
interest in my children I had approach
00:03:09
Patton and asked her to please stop this
00:03:14
living Arrangement here
00:03:16
okay Bob got a court order that
00:03:19
prohibited Sammy from being with Pat
00:03:21
near her sons so Sammy moved into his
00:03:24
brother's apartment but Bob Bean was
00:03:26
still suspicious and he hired a private
00:03:29
investigator to keep an eye on Sammy I
00:03:31
never harbored any ill will at all
00:03:34
toward Sam people around here have a
00:03:36
hard time understanding how a man can
00:03:39
accept that his wife is leaving him for
00:03:42
another man well to be honest with you I
00:03:45
knew what I had
00:03:47
and I was thankful to pass it on
00:03:52
okay Bob hated Sam Sam knew it and I
00:03:56
knew it Bob says otherwise because I
00:03:59
believe Bob is a pathological liar Sam
00:04:02
expressed to me that he felt that my
00:04:06
ex-husband
00:04:07
Bob was capable of pretty much anything
00:04:12
he did not trust
00:04:13
him 4 days before he was murdered Sammy
00:04:17
left Annie's apartment early in the
00:04:18
morning and ran into Bob Bean's teenage
00:04:21
son from a previous
00:04:23
marriage come
00:04:25
here what are you doing just taking a
00:04:28
few pictures yeah I see that will you
00:04:30
tell your dad I'm staying in the
00:04:31
apartment okay with Danny I'm not in the
00:04:33
house I'm not with Pat I'm not with the
00:04:35
kids I'm with my brother in the
00:04:36
apartment just like I'm supposed to be I
00:04:39
thought that was very very strange for
00:04:41
somebody to be taking my twin brother's
00:04:43
photograph at 5:30 in the morning I
00:04:45
didn't like it at
00:04:47
all that same Saturday at around 9:15
00:04:51
p.m. Sammy set off for elorn Lake
00:04:53
roughly 40 mi from his house he planned
00:04:56
to sleep in his truck and begin fishing
00:04:58
early the next day
00:05:00
day 12 hours later Sammy wheeler was
00:05:05
dead I believe Bob beine had a motive to
00:05:08
kill my
00:05:09
brother Pet's divorce from Bob was going
00:05:11
to be final on Tuesday they were going
00:05:14
to be married on Thursday Sammy was
00:05:16
killed on Sunday just by coincidence
00:05:20
just by coincidence sure it was sure it
00:05:22
was a coincidence sure it
00:05:25
was go talk to the people who know me
00:05:28
and ask them if I was really upset if
00:05:30
Pat was leaving okay the answer to that
00:05:34
is no so there's no
00:05:39
motive on the face of it Bob Bean was
00:05:41
the perfect suspect but he also had the
00:05:44
perfect
00:05:46
Alibi when Sammy was murdered Bob Bean
00:05:49
was on maneuvers with his Army National
00:05:51
Guard unit one of our men from our
00:05:54
department at the time was in the same
00:05:56
unit and remember seeing Bob there so
00:05:59
things checked up pretty good for
00:06:02
him I feel like that Bob being knew just
00:06:05
as soon as Sam wheeler was found dead he
00:06:08
knew they were going to come knocking on
00:06:10
his door so he knew that he better have
00:06:13
his story right Danny wheeler believes
00:06:16
that Bob Bean gave the photographs that
00:06:18
his teenage son took to a professional
00:06:22
Hitman you'd have to pay for the Hitman
00:06:25
and the FBI investigated my finances and
00:06:28
I don't have quite what it takes to pay
00:06:31
a
00:06:32
professional there was nothing at all to
00:06:35
support the theory of Bob hiring someone
00:06:38
that just didn't go anywhere with the
00:06:41
investigation Bob Bean was cleared so
00:06:44
now he could point the finger at his
00:06:46
ex-wife Pat as far as aliis go the only
00:06:50
one who really doesn't have an alibi is
00:06:53
Pat then Pat and Bob's Sons began
00:06:57
talking about the murder with surprise
00:06:59
inly accurate details he was in a troop
00:07:03
that's right he was found in his car we
00:07:06
went to the mountain you did when did
00:07:09
you go to the mountains when Sam got
00:07:13
shot at first I didn't think much of it
00:07:16
but later on they started getting a
00:07:18
little bit more specific okay now let me
00:07:21
just make sure that the camera's working
00:07:23
all right Bob Bean even videotaped his
00:07:26
sons and then presented the tape to the
00:07:28
police now who who was there when Sam
00:07:30
died mommy mommy was there I believe Bob
00:07:34
is a very very sick man the fact that he
00:07:37
would put his kids in the position that
00:07:39
he has his little two and threeyear old
00:07:41
children at that time through what he
00:07:43
put them through proves that he has no
00:07:45
Scruples no morals he cares about no one
00:07:48
not not even his own flesh and blood
00:07:50
little infant children he is a sick sick
00:07:53
man I really believe the police
00:07:56
dismissed the boy's testimony as
00:07:58
unreliable and also believed that Pat
00:08:01
had an airtight
00:08:02
elev I'll see you later I'm going to be
00:08:04
in the living room if you need anything
00:08:06
the night that Sam was killed I was at
00:08:08
home with my two children I had
00:08:12
absolutely no motive to kill Sam wheeler
00:08:15
Sam and my children were my life and I
00:08:18
planned for them to be for a long time
00:08:21
Pat's Alibi was confirmed and she was
00:08:24
eliminated as a suspect now Bob Bean had
00:08:28
another idea this there's only two
00:08:30
things that can come between Brothers
00:08:31
it's money and a
00:08:36
woman immediately after Sam was killed
00:08:40
the only person that I had in mind who I
00:08:42
thought did it was my
00:08:45
ex-husband I have since then had time to
00:08:49
wonder you know if somebody else could
00:08:52
have had a reason for wanting Sam dead
00:08:56
as if there weren't enough Pat came up
00:08:58
with yet another suspect she says that
00:09:01
after Samy's death his twin brother Dany
00:09:04
made an astonishing confession to one of
00:09:07
his girlfriends she just said that Danny
00:09:10
wheeler told her that he was in love
00:09:13
with me that he had been in love with me
00:09:15
for a long time that he thought about me
00:09:18
every night that he wanted to hold me in
00:09:20
his arms every night there's a lot of
00:09:22
oun of Truth in those
00:09:25
allegations if she married my brother
00:09:27
she was going to be like a sister to me
00:09:29
and my family doesn't go in for
00:09:32
incest even before Sam got involved with
00:09:35
her I didn't think she was a good-look
00:09:37
woman on the morning that Sam's body was
00:09:40
discovered his father and Sergeant
00:09:41
height broke the news to Danny and Pat
00:09:44
he's dead son Danny I need to know who
00:09:48
believes that Danny's over-the-top
00:09:50
reaction was meant to hide the fact that
00:09:52
he was actually the killer why don't you
00:09:54
go get Bob Bean he's trying to help he's
00:09:56
down the road why don't you go get him
00:09:57
you know it's him why don't you go get I
00:09:59
think most of his behavior when he first
00:10:02
found out that that Sam was dead was a
00:10:05
show was to make everybody else think
00:10:09
that he was uh feeling some way that he
00:10:13
wasn't why is she lying it makes me
00:10:15
wonder what is she hiding that makes me
00:10:17
wonder God knows what that did to me
00:10:20
when my brother died and why she would
00:10:23
say things like that makes me wonder
00:10:25
about
00:10:26
her maybe Bob Bean didn't kill my
00:10:29
brother maybe it was Pat that killed my
00:10:32
brother and Danny's Alibi on the night
00:10:35
of Sam's murder he was seen bar hopping
00:10:39
Pat um sne Bob bean and and Danny

00:10:43

00:10:45
polygraph they've shown no deception uh

00:10:52
in our eyes than than anyone else
00:10:56
update with the case stalled Sammy
00:10:58
Wheeler's parents hired a private
00:11:00

pursue other
00:13:49
leads we interviewed many people and as
00:13:53
a result of those interviews we feel
00:13:56

charged with the murder of Sher Hart
00:16:03
turn to your right a conviction could
00:16:06
have led straight to the gas
00:16:11
chamber but 4 months after his arrest
00:16:14
bear escaped from the county jail
00:16:17
Burgess was released on bail pending his

see Justice done this is probably as
00:16:40
brutal a crime as you will ever uh
00:16:43
encounter because uh the Fright that
00:16:46
that victim had to feel for several
00:16:50
minutes before she went over that

c she was a outgoing person she liked
00:16:58
people
00:17:00
she liked to have fun she was a
00:17:03
mother that loved her daughter very
00:17:06
much she thought more of April than

00:18:59
the future he even ran for mayor of
00:19:04
Philadelphia there was however a dark
00:19:07
side of Ira Einhorn that the crowds and
00:19:09
the News cameras never saw he was
00:19:12
jealous abusive self-centered and he was
00:19:15
the prime suspect in The Disappearance
00:19:18
of his ex-girlfriend Holly
00:19:20
[Music]

his personality was considerable and on
00:19:40
the other hand there was Holly who was
00:19:42
really not at a solid stage in in in her
00:19:45
life and was susceptible to a big come

um he was overbearing to Holly kind of
00:20:21
ordered her
00:20:23
around Andrea Boyce worked with Holly in
00:20:26
a neighborhood Co-op I remember remember
00:20:29
a morning we were trying to get this
00:20:31
store
00:20:32
stocked and while we were taking our
00:20:35
break she turned her head in such a way
00:20:36
that I noticed a mark on her neck what's
00:20:40
up with those
00:20:41
bruises oh nothing I just pumped into
00:20:44
something no those look like handm marks
00:20:46
to me holly is someone hurting
00:20:49
you I did this has the relationship
00:20:53
progressed Holly did gather more
00:20:55
self-esteem she found she could do
00:20:56
things for herself doesn't not hear me
00:20:58
Ira was abusive to her just a friend I'm
00:21:01
not asking him home am I you understand
00:21:03
what this is all about I can't by July
00:21:05
of
00:21:06
1977 Holly had had enough she walked out
00:21:09
on Einhorn leaving everything she
00:21:12
[Music]
00:21:13
owned she ended up at a beach resort
00:21:16
near New York City where she began a
00:21:18
romance with sa
00:21:21
leus she was just wonderful curious very
00:21:24
bright knew what was going
00:21:26
on for those many weeks we kind of
00:21:28
inseparable want you hand me it was the
00:21:32
start of of possibly something
00:21:35
big einor called her and he was going
00:21:38
nuts and he said in her words he was off
00:21:40
the wall uh he threatened to throw all
00:21:43
her clothing and all her belongings out
00:21:45
into the street unless she came down to
00:21:47
Philadelphia immediately to come see him
00:21:50
uh he could not handle the fact that she
00:21:51
was going with this other man I didn't
00:21:54
have a bad feeling that Holly was going
00:21:56
to Philadelphia I had a bad very bad
00:21:59
feeling when she didn't
00:22:01
return salapas and Holly's friends
00:22:04
reported her missing so Philadelphia
00:22:06
detectives interviewed Ira Einhorn his
00:22:10
explanation was that he had gone into
00:22:12
the shower that she told him she was
00:22:15
going to the
00:22:16
store uh and that he never saw her again
00:22:19
she just walked off into the
00:22:22
sunset Holly's disappearance did not
00:22:25
make any sense to my my parents because
00:22:27
she was too close to her family she
00:22:29
would not turn her back and just
00:22:32
disappear the madx family hired two
00:22:35
former FBI agents to
00:22:37
investigate they found a couple who had
00:22:39
gone to the movies with Einhorn and
00:22:41
Holly it was during the same weekend
00:22:43
that Holly went to pick up her
00:22:44
belongings and it was the last time she
00:22:46
was known to be alive bye
00:22:50
Barbara a few days later Einhorn asked
00:22:52
friends to help him dump a large trunk
00:22:55
into a nearby River he claimed that the
00:22:58
trunk was filled with secret Russian
00:23:01
documents told Kathy we okay okay you
00:23:03
don't want to help you don't have to
00:23:05
help finally the tenants living below
00:23:08
Einhorn complained to investigators
00:23:11
about a dreadful stench seeping into
00:23:14
their apartment know there is this stain
00:23:16
up in the ceiling here in the closet you
00:23:19
can see there some sort of a brown
00:23:21
sticky liquid started seeping
00:23:24
through that report brought authorities
00:23:26
to einhorn's apartment by then Holly
00:23:29
Maddox had been missing for 18
00:23:34
months once I opened the door where I
00:23:37
could smell kind of a a decaying smell
00:23:40
and spending years as a homicide
00:23:42
detective I knew that smell to be body
00:23:47
smell and I thought uh-oh she may be
00:23:52
here you have key to this
00:24:03
it looks like we found
00:24:05
Holly you found what you
00:24:07
found there was a sickness a
00:24:10
sadness that the Holly MX was found but
00:24:14
then there was kind of a a a Feelgood
00:24:18
that we were going to lock up Ira
00:24:19
Einhorn for killing her Einhorn soon
00:24:22
came up with an explanation are you
00:24:25
guilty no all right now don't questions
00:24:27
like that claimed that the FBI and the
00:24:30
CIA had framed him by planting Holly's
00:24:32
body in his closet walk to the if we may
00:24:36
without questioning einhorn's attorney
00:24:38
one time Philadelphia da and now US
00:24:40
senator arand Spectre pulled off the
00:24:43
impossible bail for Ira Einhorn I was
00:24:47
offended when they allowed him out on
00:24:49
bail because in my entire career
00:24:51
somebody who's charged with murder never
00:24:54
gets out on bail and when I sat in that
00:24:57
courtroom and I want watch the parade of
00:24:59
prominent People March before the bar of
00:25:02
the court and sing the Praises of Ira
00:25:06
Einhorn who was a murderer who was a
00:25:08
murderer but nobody wanted to admit it I
00:25:11
said this guy will never ever stand
00:25:13
trial he will take off two days before
00:25:16
the start of his trial while out on bail
00:25:19
Ira Einhorn fled the country airport 12
00:25:25
years passed finally Philadelphia
00:25:27
authorities tried ironhorn In Absentia
00:25:30
for the murder of Holly Maddox it took
00:25:33
the jury only 2 hours to find Ira

00:25:47

00:26:00
serving a life term without the
00:26:02
possibility of
00:26:05
parole next a fugitive police chief
00:26:08
accused of murder has been arrested
00:26:10
thanks to our
00:26:11
[Music]
00:26:18
viewers we recently told you the story
00:26:20
of 34-year-old Anna Anton whose body was
00:26:24
found in a remote field outside of
00:26:26
lion's Nebraska she had been shot
00:26:29
twice upon observing the surroundings
00:26:32
around Anna it was very apparent that uh
00:26:34
she did not cumb her death there that
00:26:37
the body had been moved okay R let's go
00:26:39
over here by the chair and work our way
00:26:41
in Anna's apartment lab technicians
00:26:43
found traces of blood in the living room
00:26:45
and dining room as well as on the steps
00:26:49
leading to the apartment upstairs okay
00:26:52
we're picking up some here the man who
00:26:54
lived in that apartment was 36-year-old
00:26:57
Greg Webb who had had been the Lion's
00:26:59
chief of police for 8
00:27:01
years I'm going to introduce you to a
00:27:03
friend of mine investigators learned
00:27:05
that web and Anna had been romantically
00:27:08
involved police theorized that Webb was
00:27:11
seeing another woman at the same time
00:27:14
and that he murdered Anna when she
00:27:16
confronted
00:27:19
him while detectives were collecting
00:27:22
evidence in Anna's apartment Webb was
00:27:24
making his Escape he disappeared with
00:27:27
his life savings of
00:27:30
$3,000 a warrant was issued for web's
00:27:32
arrest he was charged with first-degree
00:27:39
murder after our broadcast an alert
00:27:41
viewer in Florida contacted us he
00:27:44
recognized Webb as a man he knew as Jim
00:27:47
Weber a construction worker well when I
00:27:50
when I was watching it and they showed
00:27:51
Greg when he came on um they they
00:27:55
mentioned him as Greg web and I knew him
00:27:57
as Gregory James Weber and he went by
00:27:59
Jim Weber so uh I just put the two
00:28:02
together like I say it just looked just
00:28:03
like him so it was quite a shock Florida
00:28:06
had faxed me uh photographs of the
00:28:08
driver's license that was issued under
00:28:10
Gregory James Weber and once I did see
00:28:13
the photographs I knew that that was
00:28:15
Gregory uh John web the arrest went very
00:28:18
well we uh there wasn't any resistance
00:28:21
whatsoever we took him by surprise he
00:28:24
was arrested at an off-site construction
00:28:26
site when Webb was returned to Nebraska
00:28:29
to stand trial for murder he was
00:28:31
convicted and sentenced to 19 years in
00:28:33
prison he was released after serving 8
00:28:44
years the Battle of Gettysburg raged for
00:28:47
three long days each evening the
00:28:50
soldiers would pick their way through
00:28:51
the battlefield searching for missing
00:28:54
comrades some people believe that search
00:28:58
continues to this
00:29:03
day Gettysburg Pennsylvania at the
00:29:06
height of the Civil War this was hell on
00:29:08
Earth 3 days of brutal combat left some
00:29:12
50,000 Union and Confederate casualties
00:29:15
The Creeks literally ran red with
00:29:18
blood some say Gettysburg is still
00:29:21
haunted by the ghost of those cut down
00:29:23
in battle at Gettysburg there was so
00:29:26
much emotional energy expend in such a
00:29:28
short period of time from the
00:29:30
15-year-old kid who was scared to death
00:29:32
that he'd never make it home or the 40y
00:29:36
old man who' just been shot through the
00:29:37
lungs and was dying and thinking about
00:29:39
his family you have to think that some
00:29:43
of it must
00:29:45
remain many of the ghostly sightings
00:29:47
have been reported by Civil War
00:29:49
reenactors dressed in Period costumes
00:29:52
they restage the battle Blow by
00:29:56
blow Ray Hawk says as he and a friend
00:29:58
were approached by a figure too
00:30:00
realistic to be just another
00:30:03
reenactor I think I've seen a ghost I
00:30:07
think this guy had original equipment on
00:30:09
original code everything to me points
00:30:11
out that it was
00:30:13
original all day huh boys yeah it was
00:30:17
Ray says the soldier handed them each
00:30:19
two authentic looking
00:30:22
cartridges when they looked up the
00:30:24
mysterious figure had vanished where'd
00:30:27
he go
00:30:28
I simply don't know where he got to I
00:30:31
have no
00:30:32
clue this is one of the four rounds that
00:30:36
he gave myself and my friend live
00:30:39
ammunition hasn't been allowed at
00:30:41
Gettysburg for over 100 years rayhawk a
00:30:44
university expert determined that the
00:30:46
cartridges were genuine Civil War issue
00:30:50
vintage
00:30:54
1863 years later some friends were at
00:30:56
Gettysburg for the battle reenactments
00:30:59
one evening they hiked along a creek
00:31:01
called Bloody Run I was walking along
00:31:04
with my
00:31:05
wife and she had stopped me about
00:31:08
halfway up the trail look
00:31:11
out he appeared to be a man laying there
00:31:14
but he wasn't solid like you and I are I
00:31:16
mean he
00:31:17
was he was more of a hazy Mist he was
00:31:23
shivering cuz it looked like he was in a
00:31:24
lot of pain I couldn't go no further
00:31:27
emotionally I broke down and
00:31:30
cried I was shaken I had to actually
00:31:33
have somebody come back and Lead Me Out
00:31:35
out of the trail the terror of
00:31:37
Gettysburg was not limited to the
00:31:39
battlefield Army surgeons lacking
00:31:42
medicine and proper instruments handled
00:31:44
most injuries with one quick treatment
00:31:48
amputation many of the men underwent
00:31:50
amputations of Limbs without any
00:31:52
anesthetic whatsoever except perhaps a
00:31:54
shot of good oldfashioned army whiskey
00:31:57
so the Civil War hospital then was
00:31:58
probably as close to a descended Hell On
00:32:01
Earth as these Civil War soldiers would
00:32:03
would have ever gotten to this building
00:32:06
Pennsylvania Hall was a field Hospital
00:32:08
during the
00:32:10
battle today it's the offices of
00:32:13
Gettysburg
00:32:14
College but some say the cries of the
00:32:17
Wounded still echo
00:32:19
here it was late close to midnight two
00:32:22
School administrators were alone in the
00:32:25
building did you press one
00:32:28
uh yeah
00:32:30
H well maybe somebody's in the
00:32:36
basement oh my
00:32:42
God the stench of of a hospital was was
00:32:47
all around and as they peered out of
00:32:50
this of course they began to panic there
00:32:51
was no place to
00:32:55
go suddenly one of the orderlies turned
00:32:58
to them and looked at them beseechingly
00:33:00
as if he needed help with this horrible
00:33:03
task that he was doing or perhaps help
00:33:05
to get out of this forced incarceration
00:33:08
he'd been in for the last 13
00:33:11
[Music]
00:33:15
decades that night the two officials
00:33:17
told their story to a campus security
00:33:20
officer something frightened them I
00:33:22
can't explain it although I don't
00:33:24
believe in ghosts I guess to a certain
00:33:26
extent I believe that they saw maybe
00:33:28
what they said they
00:33:29
saw uh only because I know them as
00:33:31
credible people are these ghostly
00:33:34
sightings imagined perhaps the spirits
00:33:37
of Gettysburg soldiers are here and will
00:33:39
remain here
00:33:41
[Music]
00:33:43
forever coming up maybe you can help
00:33:46
track down this man accused of
00:33:48
kidnapping his former girlfriend
00:34:01
in a small Missouri town called Mexico a
00:34:04
quiet day turns
00:34:14
violent the woman being attacked is
00:34:17
19-year-old Denise
00:34:19
Williams the gunman is her exboyfriend
00:34:22
31-year-old Randall Utterback they had
00:34:25
met at a party a year and a half early
00:34:27
earlier to the naive school girl Randall
00:34:30
seemed just dangerous enough to be
00:34:32
exciting glad you a good time I think my
00:34:34
friends really liked you I met Randall a
00:34:36
week before graduation I just thought he
00:34:39
was the cutest thing and he had been
00:34:41
known around town for his motorcycles
00:34:43
and he owned a mountain lion at the time
00:34:45
everyone had talked real highly of him
00:34:47
he was really outgoing he would take me
00:34:50
out to nice places and concerts and then
00:34:53
after two weeks of Randall and I being
00:34:55
together it all changed
00:34:58
it was gradual he started out saying
00:35:01
don't wear makeup don't wear hairspray
00:35:03
don't wear perfume and then it grew to
00:35:05
don't hang out with this person you have
00:35:07
to choose them or me Denise Williams was
00:35:10
in way over her head she says that
00:35:13
Randall Utterback became more and more
00:35:16
abusive controlling and dangerous he was
00:35:19
obsessed with her and he wasn't about to
00:35:22
let her
00:35:23
go when Denise went away to college she
00:35:26
had hoped that the distance would
00:35:27
improve the relationship no such
00:35:32
luck oh Randall you scared
00:35:35
mece hey I called you this morning where
00:35:37
were you I had to go to class yeah I
00:35:39
know but you said you'd wait for my
00:35:40
phone call rle was very controlling and
00:35:43
manipulative I'd have to call Randall if
00:35:45
I was going down to the cafeteria just
00:35:48
in case Randle called then I wasn't
00:35:50
there to accept his phone call he'd
00:35:52
think I'd be out with some other people
00:35:54
or having friends doing something that I
00:35:56
wasn't supposed to do Denise's family
00:35:58
was shocked when Randall talked her into
00:36:00
enrolling in a community college closer
00:36:03
to him he had me convinced he was the
00:36:06
only one there for
00:36:07
me cuz he had got me so isolated from my
00:36:11
family and my friends and I got to the
00:36:13
point where I started to believe that no
00:36:15
I didn't it looks fine Denise I'm just
00:36:17
trying to help you all right you want my
00:36:18
help or not several months passed the
00:36:21
abusive pattern continued until Denise
00:36:24
reached her Breaking Point are you
00:36:26
calling me a liar Denise Rand I'm not
00:36:29
calling you a liar I'm just telling you
00:36:30
this is the way it looks you're an idiot
00:36:32
you know that be call names I'd be tore
00:36:36
down I wasn't allowed to have an opinion
00:36:38
with Randall Denise that's it I've had
00:36:41
it we're
00:36:42
finished I was relieved I wanted to get
00:36:45
away from him I had just had
00:36:49
enough Randall was stunned when Denise
00:36:52
didn't come crawling back to him
00:36:55
