15
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,080
early two thousands, Tuscan style decor
was in vogue. You know, the

16
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,960
beige wallpaper cracked to look like age
stone with a few clusters of grapes here

17
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,560
and there. The two thousand and
eight financial crisis had just toppled most people's

18
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,840
plans for the future, but in
the years following Teresa's Stone and her husband

19
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,120
Randy, came up with their own
plan. They worked in Ensured, but

20
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,479
Randy didn't want to answer to anyone
anymore. He wanted to be in charge

21
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,680
of his own job security, so
branching out and opening up their own firm

22
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,280
was the obvious solution. Randy,
being the guy that he is ex marine,

23
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,560
dies into his own business and his
own right and thrive on his own

24
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:24,719
financially. You guys are doing okay, yeah, I mean we're starting to

25
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:30,520
struggle because of well we weren't early
struggling, I guess, but it's tough

26
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,680
when you have a kid in a
Christian college and you have another one in

27
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,560
a Christian school, right, you
know, and you're starting a new business

28
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:40,199
on your own and all that.
And our business with Farmers, we pay

29
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,120
out everything, We paid for everything, and we have our home step.

30
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,199
But we weren't really struggling, but
we were just trying to be very careful

31
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,919
and we were basically starting over,
So it was going to be very tough

32
00:03:54,199 --> 00:04:00,159
and very tight interstand, but that's
something we were willing to do. This

33
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:04,319
was a town they knew. After
all, Randy and Teresa had lived in

34
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,919
Missouri their whole lives. They knew
each other as children before Randy left for

35
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,279
the Marines. When he came back, they got married and settled in Independence,

36
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:24,279
quickly establishing themselves as inseparable pillars of
their small community. No, we

37
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,839
we hardly ever fight. We hardly
ever fight, and if we do,

38
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:36,120
for like maybe five minutes. Yeah, and we're just anohing mobile steam up.

39
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:40,839
Yeah, we've argued a lot.
We were younger when we first got

40
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,600
married. Of course, it's hard, you know, when you're separated for

41
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040
a whole year of your first marriage. And yeah, then your son is

42
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:51,240
born the day after he gets back
from the military, and lokis you have

43
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,600
to do. Randy and Teresa did
everything together. According to Teresa, neither

44
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,240
she nor Randy really had any friends
of their own. They were perfectly happy

45
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:10,720
with their little family, their insurance
business, and their church community. I

46
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,120
was deeply in love with my husband, and I just system't understand why someone

47
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,480
want to take him out of my
life. I was understated it. Randy

48
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:27,399
and Teresa weren't involved in any CD
activities, and they certainly didn't associate with

49
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:32,160
anyone who was. This couple,
nearing their forties, attended church every single

50
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Sunday and Wednesday night. Randy drove
the church vehicles for events. He was

51
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:43,360
a Sunday school teacher, and he
was close friends with the pastor, Brother

52
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:48,600
Love, with whom he shared administrative
advice for the church. And I listened

53
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,839
to Randy or Randy gave a sermon
one time, and I listened to that

54
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:58,199
because I wanted to try to get
to know Randy, because so I just

55
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,560
feel like I need to know he's
not just a name on a PC.

56
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:04,639
Was a wonderful they had. He
sounded like he was very, very nice

57
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:12,360
guy, and everybody loved him.
Yep, he was always right there beside.

58
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,120
We always did empty payed together and
if we didn't do it together,

59
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,000
we'd find a way to do it
together. Always. Teresa sang in the

60
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,759
choir and helped with food preparation at
all church events. She had been attending

61
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,439
New Hope Baptist for thirty years since
she was a child. Everyone who knew

62
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:40,639
Randy was at a loss when Teresa
discovered her husband's lifeless body in their own

63
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:46,639
insurance office on March thirty first,
twenty ten. I'm pretty sure I got

64
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:53,720
to the office Friday about tin till. Yes, maybe a little bit before,

65
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,000
maybe a minute or two before,
but it was right pretty close to

66
00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:02,879
tintaill. Okay, you get office. Only car out there is strands think

67
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Parker next to his car always always. But when I pulled up, when

68
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,199
I pulled up in the driveway,
I noticed the blinds were closed, and

69
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,600
that is not normal normal, okay
at all. Teresa got our keys out

70
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,879
to unlock the door and noticed that
it opened after just unlocking the dead bolt.

71
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:30,199
This was also out of the ordinary. If they locked the door for

72
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,079
any reason, they locked both the
dead bolt and the handle lock. You

73
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,199
go inside, open the door,
go inside. What do you see?

74
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:48,279
All the lines are often um,
I yell, I say, honey,

75
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:54,240
where are you? And I walk
into his office and I turned the light

76
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:58,959
on, and you know, the
computers up. Everything looks fine. I

77
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,879
walk into the back ring back there
and hurting the light on and he's not

78
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:07,519
back there. Which room is at
the storage storage room? Up? Okay?

79
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:16,040
Then I walk around it, of
course to your office. What do

80
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,279
you see? So you could see
him lying on the floor then and the

81
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:26,120
light was off? What did you
do? That's important? What did you

82
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,319
do once you saw him? There? Are you doing fin to wake up?

83
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,360
Did you shake him? Don't you? Okay? What did you?

84
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,879
And I apologize I don't mean to
do. We just have to be a

85
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,799
little detailed at this because it's important. Did you see any I mean,

86
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,879
he was obviously on the ground.
Um, I saw coming out of his

87
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,639
ear. Okay, blood coming out
of his ear, and I was really

88
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:03,240
puffing, and his kid was really
scot and I noticed see who was it?

89
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,919
Bray? But I didn't I didn't
want to touch you about was that

90
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,080
fine? Scar? So? What
did you do to help out? What'd

91
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,080
you do? From there? I
went over? I stepped over. Yeah,

92
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,799
and now one of those heaters was
on chercher by him too. Is

93
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,799
it is our stand up? Or
did you doctor over get into them?

94
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200
No? It was already laid down
when I got there. All right,

95
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,639
Well I walked in the room,
it was laying down. Okay. First

96
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,000
I thought he had his hand on
it, but then when I saw the

97
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:41,080
blood girl out of his ear,
I was, that's fine. Theresa didn't

98
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,519
know what had happened, thinking her
husband may have fallen and hit his head

99
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,960
on the space heater in the office. Who did you get a hold of

100
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,120
when you called my mom? Okay? And what did you tell your mom?

101
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:54,799
I just told her. I told
her, I said, mom,

102
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,960
rady is something's wrong with rady As
and he's leading and he's not responding.

103
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:01,519
You thought, breathing, I need
you going to go to the office now.

104
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,200
And I was saying it so fast
ahead to repeat it several times okay,

105
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:13,960
and then I hung up and the
old line one one from the office

106
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,639
phone. And did you stay in
the office where he's at doing this or

107
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:18,039
did you outside? You know?
When I got on the phone with the

108
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,240
operators, she told me to get
at the office, okay, the dispatchers.

109
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,240
Yes, So I straight out of
my purse. Yes I did,

110
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,399
Okay, I said over him and
I walked out. Randy hadn't fallen,

111
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,759
though he had been shot. We
talked before about this, but you said

112
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:41,120
you We asked you about weapons.
Okay, what guns? Do you know

113
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,519
that he had a here at the
office or anywhere? The only one that

114
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,279
I know of that he has yeah, was a little bitty thing. Yes,

115
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,519
what you said, a little bitty
thing? It's little? Or do

116
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,759
you keep it? And I don't
even like touching it? Where do you

117
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,600
keep it? He kept it in
office? Okay, you know we're at

118
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,799
in this office that he particularly kept
it. And you're gonna ask like that,

119
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Like I said, if you don't
know, that's fine. I am

120
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:13,519
pretty positive he kept it in the
drawer at the back of his Prigenza.

121
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,879
Police had already located that weapon.
It was not the one that had killed

122
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,159
Randy Stone. Okay, we'll want
to ask you something again like we asked

123
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240
you before you going in and find
him like you did, and everything,

124
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,639
and here's the thing, and please
don't take this wrong. I told you

125
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,720
before we had asked questions that we
understand how people think and what goes on

126
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,919
sometimes with people. When you went
into the how the office and you located

127
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,600
him laying there on the floor,
and you checked him and yelled at and

128
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:50,320
everything. We found a cartridge by
his feet, what cartridge shullcasing? Shellcasing?

129
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,600
Did you let's we're rescuing you.
If there was a gun lane by

130
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:56,720
him or anything, you moved it. I didn't see anything. I swear

131
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,440
I did not see anything. That's
why I didn't know where the blood was

132
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960
coming from. I felt I saw
blood under his head and coming from his

133
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720
ear, and I saw his eye
was sullen and his skin was discolored.

134
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,960
So I didn't see anything. I
could not figure it out. That's why

135
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,080
I thought maybe he hit his head
or something. Okay, I have no

136
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,720
idea. That's what we're saying here
because we're talking to Joe and talking to

137
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,879
some other people. When I brought
you up here, some scot hold me

138
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,679
too. He said, you're in
side. Your husband does have the forty

139
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:30,320
colberhinga. He does, Yes,
that's what we're saying. And beauty and

140
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,279
his wife you should have seen or
known about it. The only one that

141
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,200
I have ever seen is that little
vide hound. Now, like I said,

142
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,159
I don't go down in the safe
downstairs, right so well, hot

143
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,440
as I know, what he has
downstairs in the safe is his shotguns.

144
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,440
He carried this from his greepcase.
He did. Okay, so it's same

145
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,399
information to work again. That's what
we're took getting told. And that's forbody,

146
00:12:50,480 --> 00:13:00,399
somebody that knows him really well.
So so this is hopefully fris.

147
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:11,360
Okay, who's life away from me? Yeah, we're going. So we're

148
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,399
trying to work on here. That's
what we're talking to you. First.

149
00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:18,440
Teresa Stone was giving the impression that
she had just learned something about her husband

150
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,240
that shifted the way she saw him. Why would he have this secret pistol

151
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,720
and why would he keep it hidden
in his briefcase taking it to and from

152
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:35,879
work with him. I asked him
this morning to bring a name on book

153
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,519
for me, and I assumed he
put it in his briefcase. So I

154
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,360
opened his briefcase and it wasn't in
there. But I didn't see a gun

155
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:48,159
in there. Okay, I didn't
see anything in there because I opened it.

156
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360
I don't touch guns. He knows
I don't like them, and I

157
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,440
don't touch them at all. What
could he have gotten involved in that led

158
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:05,679
to this assassination? These were the
questions everyone was asking, including Randy's church

159
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:11,039
family. Brother Love, Randy's best
friend and pastor of New Hope Baptist,

160
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:18,720
gave a touching sermon at Randy's funeral, hoping to quell the unsettled spirits of

161
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:24,759
those who had just lost someone they
may never have known at all. This

162
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:31,600
is what he said. Randy Stone's
name was on the sign over his office

163
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,039
at the insurance agency. And how
many here really know that Teresa was an

164
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:43,679
agent of that place. She was
the cement and the glue, wasn't she.

165
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:48,279
We come to the Word of God
to try to reconcile the difference between

166
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,679
man's point of view and that death
seems so permanent, and God's point of

167
00:14:52,759 --> 00:15:00,799
view that death is precious. The
Bible says in Psalm one sixteen fifteen.

168
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:07,639
Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints. We

169
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,000
said here today, and we weep
not just because of the separation from our

170
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,200
loved one, but because of all
the questions that death brings, questions like

171
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:26,480
why why him? Why now?
Without answers, death seems so cold,

172
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:35,759
death seems so distant, It seems
so long, death seems so permanent.

173
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:45,519
How can this death be completely turned
to victory? Nothing here looks like victory

174
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:52,159
to me. The church knew one
side of Randy, a god fearing ex

175
00:15:52,240 --> 00:16:00,720
marine and family man, but maybe
the entire congregation, Randy's family and those

176
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:07,320
who worked with him were simply kept
in the dark about another side of Randy's

177
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:41,320
life. Only time, and a
murder investigation would tell. On March thirty

178
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,399
first, twenty ten, the body
of forty two year old Randy Stone was

179
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,200
discovered on the floor of his insurance
office in Independence, Missouri. The father

180
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:59,200
of two had been shot dead,
a shell casing left next to him.

181
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,559
This was a confus using scenario given
Randy's good reputation and high regard within the

182
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:11,279
church, but the crime scene soon
revealed more clues. A case with several

183
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,839
leads is better than one with none
at all. Teresa and her co worker

184
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:22,880
Peggy were first asked about any odd
occurrences at the office. Had anyone's strange

185
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:29,200
come in? Were there any resentful
former customers wanting revenge? As just before

186
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:33,039
too, There's been no problems with
anybody, what sort of no strange people

187
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,480
come in lately? I can kind
of odde and will threaten to kill anybody.

188
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,200
Well, not trying to kill anybody, But there was one guy that

189
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:48,160
came in probably, and Peggy can
vouch for this too, because she was

190
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,279
there when he walked in. In
fact, he came in. He came

191
00:17:52,319 --> 00:18:00,680
in once when all three of us
were there, and then my husband said

192
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,480
he came back once when he was
there by himself. You know this guy

193
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:12,319
is no I have we have never
seen him. I'm in February. Okay,

194
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,119
this is in February, and I'm
sorry, Hoop's richer. Who's Peggy?

195
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,759
She is another lady that works in
our office one day a week.

196
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,200
She were every Friday, so she's
like a customer service person. Also,

197
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,799
yeah, yeah, she's she might
be well, she's licensed to she writes

198
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,440
business for us too. Here's what's
really weird in this. And this is

199
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,079
just coming to me because I had
laid a twenty dollar bill, which is

200
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,079
probably stupid of me. I probably
shoudn't done this, but I late a

201
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,599
twenty dollar bill on her on her
computer screen because we were just we were

202
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:52,319
giving her some money for write a
policy force. So I late twenty dollars

203
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,799
on her thing. Well, he
came up missing the day after, that

204
00:18:55,799 --> 00:19:00,759
guy walking in our office. They
described the man as average height, white

205
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:07,759
and probably not homeless, but appearing
very unkempt. I just remember I think

206
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:12,079
he asked pay you for many He
wanted to buy a bus ticket or something

207
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:15,839
like. I said. I wasn't
in there, so I really didn't hear

208
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,480
the conversation. Take him into more
we talk to her, Yeah, she

209
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,920
would probably know more about that.
And your husband said he showed up once

210
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,200
before. Yeah, because he told
me. He told me on the phone

211
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,759
and told me that this same guy
walked in. Then there was the former

212
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,960
family friend that tried to kiss Teresa
at an event. They all agreed to

213
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:41,680
put the incident behind them, but
it was awkward and the friendship ended.

214
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,480
His name was Matt Brewner. Yeah, he's a client of ours, and

215
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,359
he kind of forced himself on me, and so it kind of came out

216
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,880
in a conversation and Rady was not
happy when he found out about it.

217
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,559
Okay, he forced himself on you. Okay, that's office. No,

218
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:03,119
this is at his house. We
were all in his house for a birthday

219
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,119
party. Oh. And he's like
a friend to the family him. He's

220
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,960
a client, and he's and and
he's a good and he is a good

221
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,519
friend. And he and he called
and apologized for what he did and everything's

222
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:19,440
been fine. This was probably going
to a half two years ago. Yeah,

223
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:25,000
so everything's been everything's been fine.
Okay since then, I just wondered

224
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,079
why Randy kept the apology letters you
wrote for that long. He keeps everything

225
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,279
every card, every letter I write. There's a card too. Yeah,

226
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,640
he keeps everything. I keep everything. Was there anything between you and man?

227
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,279
No? Absolutely not. He trying
to make moves on you? Yeah,

228
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:45,839
but he didn't do anything specific.
What was what angered or? I

229
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,359
mean you said he try to force
himself on you? And he was he

230
00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:52,759
trying to physically touch you and a
man or kiss you or yeah, he's

231
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:56,200
trying to kiss me. He we
were at their house looking at the stub

232
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,440
band and in the basement, and
um, I just went into the bathroom

233
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,880
to look what all the stuff they
did, and he came in and kind

234
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,400
of pushed me up against them all
and I say, get away from me.

235
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,880
And that was about all that.
How could that was about it?

236
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,920
It's a bad guy. He's married, Yes, he's married and has two

237
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,799
children. Nice. Well that's a
little odd. Randy held on to the

238
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:25,759
apology letters this guy sent Teresa.
At first, Teresa made it seem like

239
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:30,319
things were fine between the couples,
even to that very day, but she

240
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,799
then went on to give a very
different impression. Look here in town,

241
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:41,240
busy, he was far enough away
if you can stay there, I don't.

242
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,920
I don't start trouble for anybody,
right, So that's okay, Yeah,

243
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:52,440
so, oh, I guess police
searched every part of that crime scene.

244
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:57,240
There was money on the desk that
the assailant had completely looked over,

245
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,839
and Randy still had his wallet and
keys on him. There was the forty

246
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,200
caliber shell casing on the floor next
to Randy's body, and there was a

247
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,519
trash can holding some helpful garbage.
Back to the letters, that yellow that

248
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,200
would in your trash canning head letter
just made written about having birthday and all

249
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,279
that. It's about this big it's
all toro and it says about you know,

250
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:26,759
something like you're the most beaut of
a person or some kind of thing

251
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:32,160
like that. It's always big ramblings
of good stuff about you know, it's

252
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,039
about that ball. But the biggest
white letter and it's black writing, and

253
00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:40,920
it's a it's all too now.
Teresa gave the officer a confused look,

254
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:45,839
furrowing her brow and apparently trying to
remember what this ripped up note was all

255
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:51,920
about. There's a bottle of your
trash can in your office. Oh,

256
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:56,680
it's a happy birthday at the top
of it, and then at the bottom

257
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,160
that's happy. It had always initials
on the bottom like they're initials meaning something.

258
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,799
We'll think about it. I'm gonna
sit lad into a pictures like can

259
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,240
show it to her, and she
let me refresh her her Fine, you

260
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:18,920
know, I'm just sucking right.
I heard of Now listen carefully to Teresa

261
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:29,400
in the interrogation room by herself.
Did you hear it? We had to

262
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,480
amp up the volume to the max
to hear what she had to say,

263
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:40,480
but Teresa whispers very quietly. Great, I forgot about that picture of it.

264
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:42,480
The collected it so may see it
because it's on property. But he

265
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,720
about it. Yeah, I remember
um, and I've had it for a

266
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:52,559
very long time because I kind of
had a sacred admirer. It was left

267
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,319
on my car door. I oh
no, no, no, oh no,

268
00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:02,200
no, no, no no.
Happy birthday, Love. You were

269
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,319
very precious to my heart. You
possessed the most tender spot in my heart.

270
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,519
I care for you more than anyone
on earth, and I desire to

271
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:15,799
be with you every moment of every
day. Your birthday is my favorite day.

272
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,160
I remember nine years ago telling you
I had something for you in my

273
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:26,359
office that was me. I wanted
to give you me that kiss you took

274
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:33,039
and then you gave me one back, I felt like it was my birthday.

275
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,599
Now your birthday has become a sort
of anniversary for me. I love

276
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,920
this day so much, and it
is all about you, the most amazing

277
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,759
woman in all the world. I
love you so much. I woke up

278
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:53,720
way before my alarm and all I
could think about was you having a super

279
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:59,720
birthday. I'm not in control of
things yet, but when we are fully

280
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:03,839
to other, your birthday will always
be exciting. Where was your car out

281
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,920
at the office. It's not even
the car that I have now, Okay,

282
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,960
I believe it was. It has
been invest been several years ago,

283
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:17,000
and I just found it the other
day. I was looking for um my

284
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,160
um what do you call it?
Dental card? And I found it in

285
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,599
there? And where was that?
No, No, it wasn't my It

286
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,559
wasn't my purse. I have a
little thingy that I keep all my credit

287
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:33,200
cards in. Yeah, and it
was in there. Secret. I don't

288
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,440
know who he is. Well,
I've never gotten another note from him ever,

289
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,880
No calls and nothing, because we're
getting calls it all the lately,

290
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:45,880
with hips hanging up anything. Yes, my let me think was it today

291
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,359
or yesterday? But the calls showed
up private. So I have no idea

292
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,839
because my husband answered the phone a
couple of times and well, no,

293
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,279
it was probably more than that,
and he said, well, I don't

294
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,400
know who they are. They keep
hanging up. It's never so we're too

295
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,160
you got her drive. I never
answered it. He did, and he

296
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:12,400
never told me, so I don't
know if there's any breathing. I don't

297
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,960
know if he didn't say Teresa's got
a lot of admirers, doesn't she?

298
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,039
What kind of stranger leaves a note
this specific? If it was really a

299
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,799
stranger, this is the kind of
letter you go to the police about.

300
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,200
This is some I'm gonna skin you
and dance around wearing a skin suit kind

301
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,440
of shit. Would there be any
problem if we look at your phone,

302
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,279
look at some of the text messages
on it, just confirmed to listen to

303
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,359
call if he ran call logs and
stuff like that. Helped yourself? Oh

304
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:52,440
agency too great? These are always
full. Oh unlike it. These detectives

305
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:59,279
were getting suspicious. I'm not one
to not what am I looking for?

306
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,440
Cooperate? And I was sitting there
to thank you, and your wife said,

307
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,720
I was thinking, what he is? This something that I would have

308
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,640
to have my lawyer present with or
and I don't why I would. Yeah,

309
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,039
and I want you to just be
wrongest I think you've been there on

310
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,079
the Secret Admirer. Do you know
who this hers? I don't. I'm

311
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,839
sorry, I have no idea I
have. I'm going to Detective Stewart had

312
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,759
said he had said something about said
something about a happy birthday on it.

313
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:36,039
Yeah, I mean, so did
this person know? Evidently they evidently they

314
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:40,359
know me. I don't know who
they are. I couldn't tell you left

315
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,960
from right who the heck he is. I assume he is a guy.

316
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Okay, Sorry, I didn't mean
that to be funny, but I don't.

317
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:51,000
Seriously, I have no idea who
he is. It has been several

318
00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:55,039
years. Like I said, I
just found it. I wasn't looking for

319
00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:00,039
it. I just ran across it
and couldn't believe I still had it,

320
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,880
So I thought I better get rid
of it because I surely didn't a want

321
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,240
my husband to find it. And
if he did, I mean, I

322
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,960
would just explain to him that it
was just left in my car window.

323
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:14,240
Just like I'm telling you, guys, I'm being honest with you, and

324
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,119
I have no idea who he is. I don't know. It's been several

325
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,720
years ago, so I honestly don't
know. I have never gotten any more

326
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,039
letters. Nothing. I've never gotten
phone calls, no mysterious phone calls,

327
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:33,359
no, no, nothing. So
I know, no affairs on the side

328
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,880
or anything like that. He hasn't
had an affair with someone, and just

329
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,799
be several years ago he did,
Okay, but that was right after we

330
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,279
got married. Okay, it was
a long time ago. Okay, but

331
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:52,960
nothing recently. You guys haven't been
separated or anything. I mean he had

332
00:28:52,160 --> 00:29:00,839
he and I just say this,
but I feel like to be honest,

333
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:07,720
you know, I mean anything.
Um, he he had troubled with pornography.

334
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:14,640
So trouble with pornography. Yeah,
but we got through all that.

335
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,400
Okay. When you say, in
trouble with pornography, was he watching him

336
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,720
on TV or on computer? He
would pull it up on the computer.

337
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:27,839
Okay, but that was it's been
several it's been several months, probably a

338
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,759
year or so. Okay. So
but within the past year, when we

339
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,440
say he having trouble with pornography,
what do you mean by that? Well,

340
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,519
he would just go on websites and
just look at them. Okay.

341
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:42,880
Oh, so he liked porn like
every other normal adult in the world,

342
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:48,359
and I approached him about it.
So, okay, we got that out

343
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:51,359
of the way. When you say
he got it out the way, what

344
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,680
do you mean by that? Well, he that's why his computers the way

345
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:59,119
it is now. He switched his
computer so I could see everything cocked because

346
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:03,240
it used to be like this,
so I couldn't see anything. So he

347
00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:07,480
turned it like this, so whenever
I did walk into his office or walk

348
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:11,240
past his office, I see everything
he was working on. Because he wanted

349
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:14,440
to be honest. If he didn't
go in, any counsel wouldn't. It

350
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:18,319
wasn't, Betty, And it didn't
cause any friction that you guys were wanting

351
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:22,359
to get separated or never had to
leave the residents. Ory that no one

352
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:29,720
left the residence or anything. No, never, absolutely not ever never never

353
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:37,200
never never never. It never got
that bad. Anything else you can think

354
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,960
of that would be that would be
helpful to us? Oh, I can't

355
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
think of anything. I hope this
is megan sense. Guys, I'm sorry,

356
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:51,480
but it's fine. Oh you're fine, You're great, You're great.

357
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,519
We're just we're just trying to fit
together. Like I told you with your

358
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,440
knowledge of what we don't know.
Okay. The small gun Theresa told police

359
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,559
Randy in the office with him was
located, but the gun that killed him,

360
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:08,799
presumably the glock he kept in his
briefcase, was nowhere to be found.

361
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:17,839
Police searched the house to no avail
that gun was gone. Someone wanted

362
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,839
Randy dead, not for his money
or his assets, And now it was

363
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:27,599
looking less like Randy was the party
involved in suspicious activity. To police,

364
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,480
it seemed like Teresa might know more
than she was letting on. She continued

365
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:38,759
to maintain her stance. She had
been on her way to the office after

366
00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:45,839
running errands, which she detailed to
police with timestamps, and she arrived at

367
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:51,119
the office to find her husband dead. She claimed she had no idea who

368
00:31:51,160 --> 00:32:00,440
on earth would want Randy Stone dead. Oh, we're trying to hard and

369
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:04,839
understand, you know, I don't
even know what what to say one where

370
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:08,880
I'm set now with somebody in this
situation. I never tried that would ever

371
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:15,279
be in this situation. Ever.
We were supposed to grow old together and

372
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,480
to retire together. And you had
a beautiful wife, and didn't you read

373
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:24,599
from a year you got two great
kids you had a good young, good

374
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,279
head business, and I'm sure you
probably have a beautiful home. All I

375
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:35,759
can say is like God has just
blessed us tremendously through all of our lives,

376
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:42,039
through became married, and our children, and our church family and our

377
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:46,440
business. I mean, it's all
because of what God has in for us.

378
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:50,559
It's not because of what we've done. It's because of what God is

379
00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:55,319
in. We're just trying to encaple
to him. And I guess that's why

380
00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:02,559
I feel like that I've just tried
to leave everything in his hands because I

381
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:08,480
know He's in control of everything.
Even though I tell my pastor and my

382
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:12,720
youth pastor, I know want a
supposed to question him, but it's so

383
00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:15,920
hard not to. Well, you
just have to everyone when you wake up.

384
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,279
You just have to remember that you
have family and friends that love you.

385
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,319
I know I support you, and
the Lord's going to look after you.

386
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,519
You know. I go on to
run every morning. I tried to.

387
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,759
Yeah, and I just I talked
to God and I talked to my

388
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:39,000
baby. Even sounds corny, it's
not corny at all. We're gonna keep

389
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:42,640
doing. We're going, We're gonna
We're gonna find out, who did this?

390
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:46,519
I guarantee. We look to this
casket and the body here, and

391
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:52,160
all the flowers and all the things
gathered around, and we say, but

392
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:57,440
we anticipated that he would grow old. We anticipated that we would do more

393
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:05,920
things together. What with the word
anticipation and death being swallowed up in victory,

394
00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:13,760
how could this be good at all? But Isaiah twenty five anticipates something

395
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,199
about God. But anything that defies
God, anything built up that defies God.

396
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,159
He is saying here in Isaiah twenty
five, in these first three verses,

397
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:32,119
that you can anticipate if something is
built up to defy God, God

398
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,960
will judge that. You can anticipate
that God will judge this. A couple

399
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,000
of weeks passed, Randy and Teresa's
life insurance agent noted that not twenty four

400
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:53,840
hours after Randy's death, Teresa was
calling him asking about the life insurance payout

401
00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:00,440
and when it would hit. She
believed she'd be getting seven hundred and twenty

402
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:07,760
five thousand dollars Richer. Police continue
to gather evidence, trying to match up

403
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,320
the handwriting on the mysterious note with
someone on their radar. They pulled Teresa

404
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:19,079
Stone in for questioning again on April
twentieth, three weeks after Randy's murder.

405
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:25,480
This time she had a little bit
of explaining to do money and John.

406
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,639
All right, missus John. Now
he's working with me on a lot of

407
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:39,440
this. Okay, I guess they
here's the old Teresa, here's the deal

408
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,679
Detective Rule Roseworn has done. I
mean, he's been hundred some of this

409
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:51,840
with you, David's and custody,
and he's talking. Okay right now as

410
00:35:51,840 --> 00:36:00,079
your chance, and you probably have
about ten minutes to tell us everything go

411
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:05,079
on with this because a lot of
the things you're saying it doesn't make sense.

412
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,480
Okay. It's like Detective Rosemarren said
to you, is the first person

413
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:15,360
that comes in and as being one
hundred percent truthful, it's the one that's

414
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:21,159
the letter, right, Okay,
Yes, When did David get to go?

415
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:27,280
That's the most important thing right now. I don't know. All he

416
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,679
told me is that he had a
way to get it. The detective keeps

417
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,079
mentioning the name David. They had
just arrested someone for the murder of Randy

418
00:36:38,159 --> 00:37:08,519
Stone, and his name was David
Love. A few weeks Scepter Randy Stone,

419
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:12,880
a father of two, was shot
dead in his insurance office. On

420
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,360
March thirty, first, twenty ten, police and Independence, Missouri had finally

421
00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:22,760
made an arrest. We begin with
breaking news from South Carolina tonight. Well,

422
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:29,039
that's where police arrested former Independence pastor
David Love. He's charged with fugitive

423
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:30,880
of justice. Lisa Benson's in the
news room with all the details. Now,

424
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,679
Lisa, Well, we have new
information on the murder of a metro

425
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,079
man. Love is the person of
interists and the murder of Randy Stone who

426
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:42,840
was killed back in March and his
farmer's insurance office. Now, according to

427
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,480
relatives, Stone's wife admitted to having
an affair with David Love so and was

428
00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:52,440
also an active member of the New
Hope Baptist Church where Love was the pastor.

429
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,000
At one point in the investigation,
officers right at the church, but

430
00:37:55,199 --> 00:38:00,320
never revealed what they found. Love
resigned as pastor after the church was rated.

431
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:07,079
That's right, everyone, the loving, doting and devoted wife Teresa Stone

432
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:15,639
was having an affair with her own
church pastor, her husband's best friend.

433
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:21,559
Tell me again this time to be
truthful to what was the nature of relationship

434
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:28,239
with David Truly, if you can't
even do that much, I can't help

435
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,480
you. Truth. If you can't
even be honest about that, I cannot

436
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:38,119
help you. Well, obviously he
was in love M and I guess I

437
00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:46,760
was at one point, and just
recently, probably a couple of weeks ago

438
00:38:47,199 --> 00:38:55,159
now, well, probably about a
month ago. M. About a month

439
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,440
ago, you felt like you were
in love? No, no, no,

440
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:04,679
no, and then to go.
I wanted it to end. I

441
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:10,559
wanted to start my life fresh with
Randy. Let's back up to nine years

442
00:39:10,559 --> 00:39:15,119
ago. Well, I need to
know what kind of things had been going

443
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:19,559
on between you and him before you
decided that you wanted to put an end

444
00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:24,039
to this thing. David Love,
by the way, was also married with

445
00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:30,840
a family. The police made it
seemed to Teresa like David was in custody

446
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:37,360
telling them everything. This was far
from the truth. Brother Love seemed to

447
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,760
know how to deal with police.
Oh man, I'm finding her name.

448
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:51,960
Sorry you ever to see here,
Sonny. It's been it's been a long

449
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:57,639
night for everybody. Okay, it's
been a long night for Teresa. She's

450
00:39:57,639 --> 00:40:00,880
been up here for a while.
I guess you know why you're up here,

451
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:06,719
probably nor secret why we need to
talk to you. Yeah, yeah,

452
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,840
she's going point in time. So
yeah, well she's been up here

453
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:17,239
for about eight hours now, Okay, we're fun. We've learned quite a

454
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:23,360
bit. I'm gonna tell you right
now that that this is not easy because

455
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:30,159
I know that you are I've spent
your life, you know, working for

456
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,920
the Lord, and that you are
the leader of a of a church.

457
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,239
But what I know now, I
mean, this is hard. It's not

458
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:44,559
gonna be easy. Okay. Um, you just need to probably find it

459
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,360
in your heart to have the courage, you know, to be truthful with

460
00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:53,760
and you know, except putting the
Lord's hands, that you need to be

461
00:40:53,800 --> 00:41:01,840
truthful with me in this room because
if you're not, you know, if

462
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,480
you're not in, it's probably not
going to go to real world for you.

463
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:12,800
And then the form of your rice
he wished to talk to me,

464
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,639
Well, I'd rather definitely rather have
a longer present. Do you think that

465
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:24,599
would be? You are middle to
night and still I would rather have a

466
00:41:24,679 --> 00:41:30,679
longer present. I don't have one. Okay, I probably get long for

467
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:37,719
you have to do that. David
Love may have kept his lips tightly sealed

468
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:44,920
in the interrogation room, but similar
to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet Teresa

469
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:53,400
thought David had already perished, so
she committed metaphorical suicide by confessing. Only

470
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:59,679
later wi she learned that she alone
exposed the two of them for what they

471
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:07,119
were are selfish teenagers masquerading around as
valuable members of society. I'm telling you

472
00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:10,039
this is the motive. This is
the reason that your husband is dead.

473
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:19,159
It's up to you to tell us
exactly what happened that exactly what was going

474
00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:29,079
on. All right now, I've
got I've got about twenty detectives out here.

475
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,480
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I got about twenty detectives out here

476
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,679
that want to take this to a
ran jury today tomorrow. They think we

477
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,480
haven't. They think there's enough evidence
against you to have you charge because they

478
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:46,679
think you involved in this either not
that you killed him, but that you

479
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:52,119
have something to do with this.
Do you know why? Because of this?

480
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Because your statement that you gave the
other night to Detective Stewart is full

481
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:05,039
of inconsider sees as un truth.
What they have, I'm telling you they

482
00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:07,480
have. They have torn out a
statement of a park. We have a

483
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:13,800
page and a half of things that's
not jiving, all right, what I

484
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,719
have told you, everything that happened
on that day, Well, I'm telling

485
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:22,639
you that I have things to show
you. My time was with me.

486
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:27,280
What are you saying? That's what
I'm telling I'm telling you that there's there's

487
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,719
trouble here, Teresa. There's trouble
here. You have got to tell us

488
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:37,000
what happened that thing. And if
you don't tell us, then I'm telling

489
00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,320
you. I've been doing this for
twenty four years. I'm telling you I

490
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,039
can see the direction that this is
going. And if you're not truthful with

491
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:47,840
me and tell me everything that's going
on and what you know, you're going

492
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,960
to be. You're going to be
a soul out on a plank all by

493
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:58,760
yourself. My investigators believe that you
are involved in this either in the cover

494
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:06,480
of the is no way to you. I would not I would never see

495
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:12,559
anything of her my husband. After
quite a bit of prying, Teresa finally

496
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,559
spilled the beans. She knew about
the whole plan, and this affair wasn't

497
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:23,199
just a one time thing either.
Teresa and pastor David Love had been having

498
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:34,039
an ongoing intimate relationship for get this
ten years, Teresa, he doesn't our

499
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:37,679
bosses are out there and they're not
very nice. Yeah, I understand.

500
00:44:37,039 --> 00:44:42,760
And when you sit here and you're
saying, I have to think about this,

501
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,639
I have to think. You know
what the conversation is, and I

502
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:52,760
understand. All he told me was
all he said was I have a way

503
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,719
to get togne. I have a
way to get the done. I can

504
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,400
make it happen. And did you
say, how do you ever way?

505
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:09,679
I said no. I kept telling
him to leave it in God's hands.

506
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,760
If he wants us to be together, God will put us together. Just

507
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:19,400
leave it alone. I just kept
telling him that. I kept telling that

508
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,920
all the time. Just leave it
alone. Let God take care of it.

509
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:27,360
If he wants to be together,
we will be together, Okay,

510
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,320
he told me. He just kept
telling me that love will make you do

511
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,519
crazy things. He said, I
will. He said, I will kill

512
00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:39,159
for you. And he told me
and I said, no, you won't

513
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,679
leave it alone. Did you know
he was talking about Randy When you were

514
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:50,519
saying this, I was hoping not, Come on, now, who else

515
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:54,400
would he even be talking about?
This whole thing went much deeper than anyone

516
00:45:54,480 --> 00:46:00,679
realized. Police soon uncovered a history
that included a miss carriage between Teresa and

517
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:07,639
David Burner phones, secret meetings,
wedding plans, and plans to murder David's

518
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:15,000
wife. Also, this was something
they often talked about how they'd like their

519
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:22,199
wedding to be. They discussed flowers
and colors, all from their Burner phones

520
00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:28,320
that they purchased to communicate only with
each other. That certainly explains why Teresa

521
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,760
was so willing to hand her personal
cell phone right over to police early on

522
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:37,920
in the investigation. By February of
twenty ten, just a month before Randy's

523
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:46,199
murder, David Love had purchased an
engagement ring for Teresa. On March sixteenth,

524
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,840
Randy sent David Love an email letting
him know that he was resigning from

525
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:59,199
his duties at New Hope Baptist Church, unbeknownst to Teresa, who thought that

526
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:04,360
after Randy's death, she would receive
all the life insurance payouts. Randy had

527
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,920
changed the beneficiaries of his policies to
his children back in two thousand and five.

528
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,960
It's almost as if Randy knew what
was coming. We know that Randy

529
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,239
was killed with his own luck went
out to your house or your parents house

530
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,000
and got showcases. Okay, from
when he used to target shoot and yeah,

531
00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:28,480
we already told you. They told
you that night that they found a

532
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:32,320
showcase and well the ballistics that was
all that was checked out. They were

533
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:38,559
saying, same same weapon, vitor
showcases. Right. I want to know

534
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:46,639
how anybody could get into that office, get that glock and shoot your husband,

535
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,000
because we're talking about the former warm
guy, the marine, the guy

536
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:59,000
who knows karate, the guy who
was on his game, the guy who

537
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:04,360
was always little looking around and looking
around for you. How would anybody get

538
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,440
that gun away from you? I
don't know. I have no idea.

539
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:15,920
I keep asking myself that all the
time. We don't understand it. We

540
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:22,119
know whoever went in there. One
knew the gun was in there and how

541
00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:23,639
to find it, and I didn't
even know he had it in the honest,

542
00:48:24,519 --> 00:48:29,840
or two somebody gave the gun to
them and they walked in there with

543
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:37,239
his gun. But if that makes
more sense, because nobody Randy's not going

544
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:43,960
to let just anybody going to his
office and going through dresser George. Right,

545
00:48:44,639 --> 00:48:47,400
I'll be honest with you right now. I mean, we've talked to

546
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,679
all kinds of people. You've been
married to this man for twenty years and

547
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,719
he's laying there the way he's laying
with all that trauma, and to see

548
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:02,400
that, that would send most people
flying out the door, flying out the

549
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:08,000
door, screaming for help. If
nothing else. People they want to get

550
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:14,280
away from that. They want to
get away from that. What did Teresa

551
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,599
do? You actually walked over the
top of it. I was trying not

552
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:25,960
to panic, but you had a
cell phone. But are just so abnormal?

553
00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:30,559
Listen to me. I'm telling you
all these whole things that people see.

554
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:37,119
People see these things, and they
say, that doesn't sound like somebody

555
00:49:37,159 --> 00:49:42,519
that just walked in the found found
her her spouse. Did that looks like

556
00:49:42,599 --> 00:49:46,960
somebody who may be expected to see
that when they came out, did not

557
00:49:47,159 --> 00:49:54,199
expected to bad for hours, Teresa
tearfully exclaimed that she had nothing to do

558
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:00,559
with the planning of Randy's murder,
but the evidence suggested other wise. The

559
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:07,960
evidence was telling detectives that Teresa was
involved and that she was lying. And

560
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:10,119
it could be it could be that
influence that David has over you. You

561
00:50:10,159 --> 00:50:15,800
just you yourself might not even be
identifying. Teresa. You're saying that you

562
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:22,000
may not know the power he has
over you. I'm telling you everything I

563
00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:34,079
know. I being honest with you? I am. I know he does?

564
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,840
And how are you telling you?
He knows what you did? Does

565
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,639
he know what he should? He
knows what I did. I did not

566
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:46,079
do anything. He knows that I
had a relationship with David. He knows

567
00:50:46,159 --> 00:50:50,760
what we had talked about, and
he knows my heart, and he knows

568
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:57,599
what I tried to do or did
you try to? I tried to tell

569
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,760
you to leave it alone. He
wouldn't. What do you think you'd happen

570
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,800
to David? What do you think
you're happen to? Day of Love?

571
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:13,000
I don't know. What do you
want to? Everybody? Put him in

572
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:17,360
for life? You're doing my other
his life. What do you want happen

573
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:24,039
to you? I just I want
to come back to my family. The

574
00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:28,480
only person that can do that.
Iss you? What else, Teresa?

575
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,239
I am telling you the truth.
You're not telling all the truth. I

576
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:38,159
even, Teresa, I don't understand
what you want it for me? What

577
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:45,320
else? I don't? I know? I'm not missing anything. Please help

578
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:52,199
me if I am. I want
to know if I'm forgetting something, but

579
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:59,840
I I know I'm not. I
never told him to do anything like that.

580
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:08,960
I go into my house, I
never said anything like that. I

581
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:16,039
told him. After Teresa allowed David
Love to murder her husband, she then

582
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:24,039
allowed him to preside over Randy's funeral. Doesn't get much more evil than this.

583
00:52:25,159 --> 00:52:29,960
I came to the city eleven years
ago, and in March of nineteen

584
00:52:30,039 --> 00:52:35,639
ninety nine, I met Randy Stone. Randy Stone was still in the reserves

585
00:52:35,679 --> 00:52:39,440
in the army, and he was
active in the military, and he would

586
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:45,760
tell me things about his military service. Y t K. Anybody can relate

587
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:52,800
to Y t K raise your hand
y t K. Now, Randy was

588
00:52:52,119 --> 00:52:58,400
capital Y two K. I met
Randy. He said, Hey, I'm

589
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,000
putting mrs in my basement. I've
got water, he said. Now,

590
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,000
one thing about Randy Stone. I
loved it when I was around him,

591
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,039
but I usually wanted my wife to
be between Randy and me because if you

592
00:53:13,039 --> 00:53:15,400
would ever sit by him, he
would bruise your arm, now, wouldn't

593
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,599
he? He said, every airplane
is going to fall out of the sky

594
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,039
at the moment of Y two K. All the money in the bank,

595
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:29,119
you'd better get your money out of
the bank. He was just big on

596
00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:36,360
that, you know what. He
was anticipating a storm and he was making

597
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:43,559
his refuge. That's what he knew
to do. That was Randy preparation.

598
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:50,000
The final word is preparation. You
see, there is nothing more that we

599
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:53,559
can do for Randy Stone. There
is nothing more that we can do for

600
00:53:53,679 --> 00:54:00,280
him. He'll never have another thought
in this body, or another ocean,

601
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:06,639
another hunger pain. He'll never be
able to sign another policy or kiss his

602
00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:13,639
wife on this side of glory.
The preparation now is all about what he

603
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:20,239
did before last Wednesday. To be
precious in the sight of the Lord at

604
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:25,880
death, you got to make a
preparation. He prepared himself to meet Jesus,

605
00:54:27,639 --> 00:54:32,920
and only Jesus can take his soul
to heaven. Clara, I'm glad

606
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:37,559
you didn't have any more Randy's,
but boy, did you have one.

607
00:54:37,679 --> 00:55:08,480
Randy's death is not in vain.
The truth is really the exact opposite of

608
00:55:08,519 --> 00:55:16,280
the sacrilegious eulogy given by David Love. Randy's death was in vain, and

609
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:22,119
he had not prepared to meet Jesus. David knew all this, and yet

610
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:28,239
he still stood behind the pulpit,
the one that had served him well over

611
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:34,760
ten years, and told lies over
the dead body of his best friend.

612
00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:39,639
Randy's mother, Clara, sat and
listened to the speech at her son's funeral,

613
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:46,280
having no idea that both the pastor
and her own daughter in law were

614
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:52,559
responsible for the entire thing. We
always had to have Aspergus because he loved

615
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:55,599
Aspergus, and we only buy green
Giant, you know, just silly things

616
00:55:55,639 --> 00:56:01,400
like that. But I as a
couple of Christmas as I eat Fergus and

617
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,840
I'll take a bait, and now
I'm taking him. I'll say ten,

618
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:09,440
this is for you. I was
proud of my son. I thought he

619
00:56:09,559 --> 00:56:14,679
was a good father and husband,
but maybe wasn't a good husband. I

620
00:56:14,679 --> 00:56:20,159
don't know. I would have rather
she'd followed for divorce, even though I

621
00:56:20,199 --> 00:56:23,360
don't believe in divorce. But I'd
rather do that. If you're that unhappy,

622
00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:29,159
divorce him, don't kill him.
When David Love was arrested in November

623
00:56:29,199 --> 00:56:34,320
of twenty ten, he had already
moved to South Carolina and had begun a

624
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:39,280
new job as a truck driver.
I wonder if it's because he started to

625
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:45,719
feel a little uncomfortable in the church, maybe a little maybe a little hot

626
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,559
under the collar, if you know
what I mean. He played guilty to

627
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:55,360
second degree murderer a year later,
and was ultimately sentenced to life in prison

628
00:56:55,719 --> 00:57:01,599
with the possibility of parole after twenty
five years. You will be eligible in

629
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:07,960
twenty thirty six. As for Teresa
Stone, she pled guilty to conspiracy to

630
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:16,960
commit murder and received an eight year
prison sentence eight years for murdering your husband.

631
00:57:21,079 --> 00:57:27,599
I got nothing. She has since
been released and is living a happy

632
00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:34,360
life with a new man. Her
new name is Teresa Greenawalt and she lives

633
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:38,079
in Kansas City. By the way, just a side note, I think

634
00:57:38,119 --> 00:57:45,920
Trisa needs help. That's what hurts
bad is I love Teresa, but I

635
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:52,440
just wanted her at least get enough
time to sit there and think was it

636
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:57,440
worth it? You know? Why
don't I just get a divorce? At

637
00:57:57,519 --> 00:58:02,079
least I've had my son, and
the kids would have their father. Teresa

638
00:58:02,199 --> 00:58:08,639
Stone and David love together in many
instances of selfishness and stupidity, ruined so

639
00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:15,000
many lives in pursuit of their immature
romance. How could these people, holier

640
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:22,079
than Thou raised to know God?
How could they have come to the conclusion

641
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:29,880
that murder was the best solution here? How are human beings so literally goddamn

642
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:37,159
hypocritical? If they really believed the
things that they preached. How could Teresa

643
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:44,960
and David have been stupid enough to
think that the God they believed in would

644
00:58:44,960 --> 00:59:14,039
just let them get away with it? All Right, that's gonna do it

645
00:59:14,039 --> 00:59:15,599
for another one. Thank you for
joining us once again. We'll see you

646
00:59:15,719 --> 01:00:31,360
next time. Stay safe, right
uh Hi? I just listened to the

647
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,760
most recent episode about Amelia thessum my
first time calling it. I have to

648
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:42,039
say, the stories you select and
the production value is just impeccable. It's

649
01:00:42,079 --> 01:00:46,559
so good. But I just wish
you would stop fucking talking, like your

650
01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:52,480
commentary makes me stupider every time I
listened to it, Like you are the

651
01:00:52,519 --> 01:01:00,679
most misogynistic, ridiculous human being,
and like the show would be better if

652
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:06,519
you would just leave your opinion out
of it, Like just stop talking,

653
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:28,880
just stop talking, just stop talking. Just Jesus Christ NT
