control it. >> reporter: but police say jermeir wasn't able to control the situation with shannon. some three months before denita was murdered, shannon bought this house near where jermeir lived. and when police searched that new home of shannon's, they were surprised by what they saw and what they didn't see. >> kids' rooms, beds, everything you expect to be in a nice children's room. mom had a mattress on the floor. there was little to no living room furniture, no dining room set, nothing in the kitchen. >> suggesting what? she was overspending so she could live near jermeir? >> just to be near jermeir. that's the only reason. there was a clear pattern of her placing herself near him at every turn. it seemed kind of stalkerish. >> coming up, shannon's brand-new story.
