Some of the winnings. Anyway, fed on now. Side of the net. Pushes it along. Barkov and then eichel, then barkov, and a save made by mike smith. Smith has been impressive, hasnt he . Mike m. he certainly has. Hes such a big guy too. He just sealed that low part of the net and no dice for the atlantic. Mike e. across, and that one was i believe blocked by barkov, and also getting a piece of it, it seemed like, was price. Gaudreau a shot and price did get that. Boeser threw it all the way back down, and smith is more than willing to come out and handle this. Mike m. probably three, four chances for johnny gaudreau. Mike e. the long pass ahead denied. Puck back to kucherov, who brings it on. Denied by the nice stick reach of burns. James neal brings it on. Neal sashayed in and pushed it off price. Worked on back to neal once again. A shot. Nolook shot sort of that price was able to stop. Brought back by stamkos. Picks up kucherov. Floated it to him. And the shot goes over the glove hand of smith. Brian doc, if this twogoal lead holds, keep an eye on mike smith to leave the goal. Mike e. karlsson to stamkos. Getting in the way of that was smith, and the arms were spread after. David is on in. No under three minutes to go. Brought back ahead by karlsson. Karlsson gets by one, hammers one, and that one deflected wide. And smith looked back at karlsson. Brought back ahead now by rakell. Rakell moving in. Scores and the deficit is now three. And the risk factor for smith taking a shot at an emptynetter is not too high. Mike m. i wish i could do this. He makes it look so easy. Good patience. Kuch kucherovs got a little pressure on him from behind, but he just waits and waits and waits and pops it over the shoulder of carey price. Brian i mean, that is a thing of brew teautbeauty. I mean, to get the leverage, to get that puck up where he did, that is unfair. Mike e. we are watching price. He stays in the goal crease for right now. It is 52 pacific. Marchand watched by doughty. Marchand jostled a bit there by doughty. Some body contact as this one is knifed on now to kopitar and dealt on back. Mike smith able to step out. What will we do . Stickhandled in front and played across, and on now for rakell to drop it off. Kopitar. The feed for rakell. Fanned on it. Little bit of a stick reach that came from mike smith to take him out, and a backhander by price and back out. Price remains in with 1 45 to go. Brian i looked over at cooper. Hes thinking about pulling him and decided not to. See if he takes him on the next time they go down the ice. Mike e. mike green able to step away. This is the time, and we get a halt to play on an offside. Brian it was a simultaneous whistle, doc. Jon cooper blew the whistle to carey price to signal him to come to the price, and when he did that, the official blew the whistle as well for the offside, and carey price is going to make his way halfway to the bench. Mike e. carried back on by ekmanlarsson. Threw it off the corner boards wide, 1 15 to go. Headed to the back and directed in front, ricocheted to the corner. And here comes price to the bench. Moving on in all alone is jack eichel. Fakes. Couldnt get it by smith, who holds, steps up, and a long pass is cut. Started back along by kucherov. The net is empty at the opposite end. Brought on now by eichel. Eichel holding, handed it over, and it is gaudreau at center ice. That is off his stick. He is restrained a little bit. Back down the ice for the last 38. Twisted one across the net, mouth wide. Well, well. Matthews laid it across. Carried on by stamkos. Then its kucherov. The pacific will divide the million. Smith has it. Whatll he do . He holds on. Mike m. frustrated forward, brian . Brian yeah, he probably is. Hes probably like, you know what, nobody ever let me play forward in years past, so i have to do it myself. We look at last year during the skills competition. He fired it the length of the ice and then into the little square right there. I cant tell you how impossible that is. Hard for a forward to do, never mind a goaltender. Here he goes. Mike e. able to stickhandle it along with ten to go. Hes got it. He shoots it. Wide icing with 4. 7 to go. Mike m. hes having a good time, isnt he . Disappointed in himself that he couldnt put that home. Erik karlsson sort of stepped out of the way and said go ahead, give it your best shot. Brian theyve got to give him one more opportunity here. Nice clean win by mcdavid and then go for it. Mike e. okay. So hes got it again. He shovels one down. Mike m. not going to meet it. Mike e. and it is wide. There was history in the making. Mike m. or not. Mike e. but time ran out. How many teams back through the history of sports have said that . Final score in the game, the Pacific Division amongst them will divide up 1 million. Mike smith and Marcandre Fleury the victorious goaltenders. 19 shots on goal to 11 for the atlantic.

Then she settled into a new practice and a new marriage with a young den titist. But the young woman who could do it all couldnt save a marriage that was ending. After seven years, the marriage ended. In i dont think my sister took failure well. His wife ronda remembers how she continued to thrive at work, but her love life stalled. There was a time issue there. She didnt have a lot of time to probably go places to meet guys. She went to church. And she went to her job. And to be honest, i really dont think that there was very good pickings, possibly. And in her late 30s, tony turned to a place many do to find a mate, the internet. She chose a christian dating site, finding a man who shared her faith was very important to her. She didnt tell her little brother or his wife ronda right away about her online adventure but did share her secret with her best friend alison tally. Did she give you updates . I didnt really ask, but i did know that shed met a couple of guys. Then toni met the one. Met some guy older than her, charming, incredibly charming. Extended a hand immediately. Welldressed, very polished and wellspoken. Very professional looking. Reporter his name was Harold Henthorn. According to his dating profile, he lived in colorado and worked as a consultant to nonprofits. He didnt smoke, rarely drank, and he said he was a planner. Eventually harold flew out to jackson to meet toni in person. And with them both being methodical types, they devised a formula for lasting love. They had come up with a system for compatibility. And it was five cs. And i dont remember what they all stood for. Compatibility was one of them. Christianity was one of them. Reporter chemistry, maybe . Chemistry was one of them. When they met for the first time, they would know if the chemistry was there. Theyd confirmed four out of the five before their first meeting. Reporter so when they met it was combustion. Maybe that was one of them. Reporter toni ticked off her cs. Then she introduced harold to everyone. First impression . Way more outgoing, way more vocal than she she was quiet. I thought, this is great for her. This gets her out of her shell. And it gives her somebody to do some really fun things with. Reporter harold was a widower, and told the bertolets he had waited a long time for another chance at love. His first wife died in a car accident. My heart went out to him. I was like, wow, he deserves his happiness, you know. And if its with toni, then thats awesome. You know, he said he had been lonely. Reporter harolds friend, kim laferriere, had been best friends with harolds first wife, lynn. What did harold tell you about this new woman in his life, toni . He didnt tell me a lot. But he did tell me that he really liked her. Reporter after lynn died, kim and harold remained close. Now he wanted kim to meet the new woman in his life. I felt like i couldnt talk about lynn anymore which i understood that. But i was happy that he moved on. And i felt like it was time and that he was starting a new life. Reporter so now harold, the planner, as hed said in his dating profile, was ready. On valentines day 2000, he set out to orchestrate the perfect proposal. Harold really studied the jackson area to find out the Perfect Place to propose. And he found this beautiful place in jackson that we all love. Reporter and how excited was she to tell you her news . Very. She was excited. And she had a beautiful ring. It was a nice ring. And just she was very happy. Very happy that it seemed like it was all coming together and she was going to be very happy. Reporter on september 30th, 2000, less than a year after they had met in person, Toni Bertolet married Harold Henthorn in a Big Church Wedding in jackson. She looked fantastic, happy, glowing. It was a lovely day. It was beautiful. It looked like the first day of the rest of her life. It really did. Reporter the future was bright. Tonis career had been her focus for so long. Harold promised something different. Marry me. Im wealthy. I can take you away from, you know, your career and, you know, working all the time. And allow you to be the mother, which is the main thing she wanted to be. Reporter her knight in shining armor . Thats it. Reporter but its amazing how life has a way of intruding on our fairy tales. When we come back, a romantic surprise. Hi. She is like, whats going on . And he says, you know, were going away for the weekend. A whirlwind escape to the mountains. She couldnt say no.

After toni and harold got married, friends and loved ones knew the couple wanted to start a family. But it turned out to be difficult. For the first two years of their marriage their careers kept them apart. Toni in mississippi, harold in colorado. And when toni was finally able to move west to be with harold they suffered a lot of fertiity issues and had miscarriages. It was a sadness to her. Reporter back in mississippi, tonis brother todd and sisterinlaw rhonda were also struggling to have a baby. But then after years of disappointment for both couples, all their prayers were answered. We both ended up pregnant at the same time. Reporter that must have been a really happy time given what you went through to get there. Absolutely. All of sudden, you know, good news here, good news here, and, you know, get ready because, you know, youre going to have a houseful. Reporter in june of 2005, toni and harold welcomed their baby girl, haley. By then, todd and rhonda already had anna kate. When the girls were a little over a year old, the henthorns came to mississippi and the who cousins got to meet. It was a very happy occasion. And i do remember toni just being so happy to have haley, so and so was harold. Reporter and although toni had always wanted to be a mom, it was pretty clear harold was mr. Mom. He was the one in charge. The diaper change. Most women have to beg their husbands to do that kind of stuff. He was the one he was like a nanny. Reporter handson dad . Yeah. He was in charge of everything about that child. Reporter with harold such a doting father, toni was able to go back to work. She soon built a thriving practice in colorado. She was a beloved doctor. She had a really great bedside manner. Reporter tammi abruscatto managed the practice. She took time. She treated her patients as a whole body not just their eyes. She was interested in their family life. She had the good oldfashioned southern hospitality. Reporter tammi saw how committed toni was to her patients. Sometimes it was hard to get her to leave the office. So tammi was charmed when one day in September Harold asked her for help. You get a phone call out of the blue from harold. Yes, about two weeks before their anniversary he phoned and said, hey, tammi, i want to surprise toni for our anniversary. Can you help me out . Reporter it was their 12th wedding anniversary. Harold wanted to celebrate with a surprise trip to one of colorados wonders, Rocky Mountain National Park. So youre being really sneaky in all of this. I am. I mean wed all love for our husbands to call and do something fun like that. So i made her schedule so that she could be done and out of the office by 3 00, but it looked like she would be there till 5 00. Reporter the big day was september 28, 2012. He came into the office, and the other girls thought it would be fun to really surprise her. So they put him in an exam room. Reporter a colleague shot this cell phone video. So she picks up a chart, walks into the room like she normally would, and then theres her husband. And shes like, whats going on . And he says, you know, were going away for the weekend, happy anniversary. And shes like, no, no, no, no. I cant do that. And he says, you can. Tammi fixed the schedule so youre ready to leave. Reporter this was well orchestrated. Yes. Reporter this anniversary plan. Yes. Reporter harold thought of everything. He hired babysitters for haley. Hed even packed tonis clothes. She couldnt say no. I mean, she just, you know, he had it all worked out, so off they went. Reporter Harold Henthorn, the consummate planner, had pulled it off. Now the perfect anniversary weekend could begin. The couple left denver on a friday afternoon and headed north. Harold booked a room at the stanley, a historic Beautiful Hotel in estes park. My name is jack torrance. Reporter famous for inspiring stephen kings the shining. Thank you. Reporter he scheduled an early dinner so they could turn in early. It was a romantic weekend, after all. Then saturday afternoon, they set out for Rocky Mountain National Park to go on a hiking trail harold had scouted out a few months earlier. But just about 24 hours in, the perfect weekend turned tragic. 911, whats the address of your emergency . Hello, my name is Harold Henthorn, and im in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Okay. I need an Alpine Mountain rescue team immediately. Reporter it was just before 6 00 and harold needed help urgently. My wife has fallen from a rock on the north summit of Deer Mountain. On the Deer Mountain trail. And shes in really critical condition. Reporter harold told the 911 operator that toni had fallen from the edge of a cliff. We need to be sure that you know my location first. I have really bad cell coverage. Okay. Okay. Im on Deer Mountain. Reporter immediately, the park launched a ranger who was also a trained emt, but the only way to get there from the trail head was on foot, and that would take hours. Is she conscious and breathing . Reporter no, shes not. Shes not been conscious. She is breathing. Reporter harold, desperate, pleaded for a rescue helicopter. Heres the thing. I will pay any and all expenses for a helicopter. I dont care if its private, i dont care if its commercial, i will pay any and all expenses right now if you drop a paramedic down here. Reporter the operator tried to explain that no aircraft could do what harold was asking, not at that altitude over that terrain. They cant like drop somebody out of the helicopter. From a 10foot rope . No, sir. That has not been done in my experience. Reporter harold knew tonis situation was grave. She needs to get out of here. She needs to get to the hospital. Reporter harold didnt stay on with the 911 operator. He hung up because he was worried his cell phone battery might die. Then at 6 16, he texted tonis older brother barry, a cardiologist, back in mississippi. Barry, urgent. Toni is injured in estes park. Fall from rock. Critical. Requested flight for life. Emt rangers on way. Will be dark when arrive. Pray. Todd got a call from his brother barry. Barry said that toni had been in an accident and that he was being texted the vital signs, and it didnt look good. You know, he said, i dont think shes going to make it. Reporter back on the mountain, the rescuers were having trouble finding the henthorns. Theyre asking you to put as many bright items out as possible to see if they can see you. Anybody near you, sir . No. Reporter the henthorns were all alone and time was running out. The sun was setting. So harold lit a fire. Ive started a small fire in a completely enclosed rock enclosure with wet moss on it thinking you can see the smoke. Reporter now in the dark, the henthorns were off the grid. And still waiting. Just before 7 00, an hour after harolds first call to 911, an operator called back to talk him through cpr. Hello . Harold, this is julia, Estes Park Police department. They tell me you need some assistance doing some cpr. Any help you could give me would be good. Okay. Is she awake . No, unconscious. Okay. Im going to go through my questions really fast with you. Is she breathing . Her breathing has gone from ten to five and nothing, to zero. Okay. What im going to do now is im going to count for you as you go through the breaths. Ive got my computer on and i can count. So we can make sure were getting that blood flow. Reporter but harold said he wanted to keep the line free. Ive got to turn off because the rangers have to find me. Okay. I will let you go. Call 911 any time and you get me, okay . Reporter harold continued to text tonis brother with details, none were good. Cant find a pulse. He texted a friend asking if he could drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park to pick him up. He called back dispatch. You guys have an eta on the rangers . Theres actually a ranger in the area. If you could start using your whistle. Hes trying to find you. Okay, okay. Great. Thanks a lot. Reporter he texted barry again cpr. Help 10 minutes out. Finally, 8 09 pm more than two hours after harold called 911 the ranger arrived prepared for a rescue, but there was no rescue to be made. Coming up i just said is she okay . And i fell to my knees. Exactly what had happened up there on the mountain . This is a spot that most people would be too nervous to approach.

Toni henthorn tumbled off the edge of a steep cliff. 8 41 mountain time, her husband harold texted her family two horrible words. Shes gone. Id never seen my dad cry. Never. And id say for probably the next two weeks all the time. Just constant. Reporter she was his little girl. Uhhuh. I can tell you it doesnt matter, you know, what age they are, you know, a parent can never accept it. Reporter tonis friends at work couldnt believe it either. I got a call from christy at our office and all she said is, tammi, toni fell. Reporter what did you think when she said she fell . I just said, is she okay . No, she died. And i fell to my knees. And my husband said, oh, my gosh, whats going on . And i said, dr. Henthorn fell off a cliff. Reporter everyone was heartbroken for toni. Harold. And, most of all, the henthorns 7yearold daughter haley. I put myself on the mountain and at the moment that she probably knew, well, this is it, you know. I know her thoughts were of haley. Reporter about 150 people die in National Parks each year. In Rocky Mountain National Park, the leading cause of death is falling. Before i wrote this book, i didnt know that the National Park had investigators. Reporter journalist Michael Fleeman covered the death of Toni Henthorn. I just thought the extent of their police work was to tell you to put out a rogue campfire or something, or dont park here, dont feed the bears. Reporter but theres more to it. Every death in our National Parks is investigated. And in tonis case the same emt ranger who came to rescue her now switched roles from rescuer to cop. People wear different hats at the park service. The guy who schlepped out there in the middle of the night and tried to both save tonis life and get harold off the mountain the next day became an investigator. Reporter the ranger set out to learn everything he could about toni, harold and what happened on that quiet mountain. Harold told him the couple had set out around 1 45 on the Deer Mountain trail as part of their romantic anniversary weekend. You can see in this selfie harold took that the henthorns seemed to be having fun, on a track that many would find challenging. Hikers call it a moderate hike. But these are hikers who are, you know, scaling the sides of mountains. Reporter but toni and harold kept at it, following the trail as it snaked up and around the mountain to a point where it flattened out. It was a beautiful fall day here in the rockies, much like this. Harold said he and toni wanted to be alone. It was their anniversary, after all. So right about here, they got of the trail and headed into the woods. Most people stay on the trails in National Parks, thats what the park service wants visitors to do. But harold told the ranger the trail was so crowded that they left it to be alone. Although toni was a lifelong athlete, she had knee issues since her basketball playing days in high school. But if the hike was tough for her, it probably seemed worth it when the trees opened up to this. Around 3 30 toni and harold ate lunch right here, with this amazing view as their backdrop. Once they finished eating lunch, they continued further into the back country. Before they set out, harold took this photo of toni. Shes smiling, relaxed. It doesnt look like she had any inkling that anything bad was to come. Harold told the ranger the ridge where they had lunch wasnt private enough. So they climbed down these loose rocks looking for another spot. At this point they were several hours into their hike with not much daylight left and not much time to keep a 7 00 p. M. Dinner reservation. They ended up on a small, flat area with not a lot of wiggle room and steep drops all around. Its where this pictures was taken at 5 00 p. M. Its one of the last pictures on tonis camera. Rangers believe toni fell from right here, 128 feet down. This is a spot that most people would be too nervous to approach without the proper safety gear, but harold said toni was trying to capture the perfect picture of some wild turkeys and apparently just got too close to the edge. Harold said by the time he scrambled down the mountain and found his wife, toni wasnt talking. She was barely breathing, and she was lying in an awkward position. So he told the ranger, he pulled her to a flatter area. Then he made that first call to 911. 911, whats the address of the emergency . I need an Alpine Mountain rescue team immediately. Reporter but there never was a rescue. Toni died too soon. Her friend Allison Talley says in the days after toni died, everyones focus was dealing with their grief while trying to help haley and harold. Hes the greefbing widower with the young daughter. Right. There was no shortage of people over there trying to help and be in the home. We talked to him several times and every conversation had that element in it of how wonderful all his friends and his Church Family were being to him. Reporter within a day of tonis death, harold reached out to someone who had always been there for him, kim laferriere. I got a text at 10 30 on sunday night. Toni fell. My bride is gone. And i remember looking at this going what . And i ran upstairs. My husband was asleep. And i said, tonis gone. Reporter kim found the tragedy almost unimaginable. Remember, shed known harold for decades and had been best friends with his first wife lynn who died 17 years earlier. I just felt so sad. I felt like i could not believe that toni was gone. It just felt like i wish i could have changed it. I wish i could have brought her back. Reporter but soon for some people sorrow would be coupled with another feeling suspicion. Coming up my husband said, we cant let this go. Please investigate this. Turns out this was not the first time tonis life had been in danger. He made a joke and laughed it off.

Almost from the moment tonis friends and family heard that she had fallen off a cliff to her death, they all realized they shared the same uneasy feeling and it centered on tonis husband harold. Charming, outgoing, a handson dad. Harold was all of those things. But now tonis friend allison remembered what toni had said years earlier when the couple was struggling with infertility. How was harold through the bad times, when she was losing the baby . Was he very supportive . I asked her how this was going, that this had to be incredibly stressful. And she said, her exact comments ill never forget these words. Life with harold is hard. Reporter brother todd and sisterinlaw rhonda also looked back and thought how difficult it could be to get toni on the phone without harold listening in. You call their home number, you call her cell phone number, and you could call his cell phone number. Reporter and he would answer . He would answer. When we spoke to her it was never just her. It was always him and her in the background. Reporter tammi recalled how harold used to come into tonis office as if he owned the place and how in his presence, toni, the selfconfident doctor, seemed to melt away somehow. She said ive just learned long ago its just better to let harold be right. Reporter did that make you kind of sad . That made me very sad, and thats when i really thought things are not right. Reporter tammi says that even though toni seemed to adore her daughter haley, she often gave up mommy time, staying late at the office instead. We would be done. Patients gone, staff gone. And she would still be on her computer. But it wasnt workrelated. It was playing games. And so we thought, thats so odd. Why does she stick around the office . We started to think that maybe she just didnt want to go home and maybe because of harold. Reporter if there was trouble in the marriage toni never said so directly. Not to friends, not even to family. Todd and rhonda worried maybe she was afraid to say too much. I think he had held control over toni with haley, you know . His parents heard conversation that they werent meant to hear that he held, you know, divorce over her head. Ill divorce you. Yeah. And you wont see haley and, you know, that kind of thing. Reporter thats probably the one thing that would cut the deepest with her. Right. Reporter not being able to see her daughter. Right. Reporter and then there was a very strange episode that occurred a year before tonis death at a mountain cabin she and harold owned. Did she tell you at all about the accident with the beam at the cabin . No. But harold did. He made a joke that he almost killed toni at the cabin. And he, you know, laughed it off that, did you hear i almost killed toni . Reporter it happened around 10 00 p. M. Toni, despite the late hour, was under the deck. She said that she was cleaning underneath the deck and harold was walking across and as he walked across, a beam came loose and fell directly on the back of her head. Reporter toni had to be hospitalized. She came back to work bandaged and bruised. Did she seem at all rattled by it . Did she seem did it change her at all . She just seemed depressed, but, you know, people get depressed when they hurt. Reporter tonis family looked back on that incident and wondered. Are you starting to think that maybe the beam falling wasnt an accident . I think we were there at the time, maybe not admitting it, but enough to say theres something going on here. Reporter after the cabin incident tonis mother told her she didnt think toni should be alone with harold. Whats interesting about it is when my mother had that conversation with my sister, my sister didnt try to correct my mother. She just said okay. Which i think her silence probably spoke a little bit more. Reporter almost like she knew . I think she knew it probably wasnt an accident. Reporter and now toni had accidentally fallen off a cliff. It was as if the moment people within their circle heard about tonis death, that they all instantly suspected something was wrong. My husband said, we cant let this go. So he called the park rangers and basically just said, were close with toni. We have suspicions. Please investigate this, please. He begged them. I felt immediately upon hearing the news that we had to find out exactly what was what happened, and that we had to be her voice because the only story we were going to get was reporter but they all soon discovered even getting harolds story wasnt easy. Did you ask harold, tell me what happened . Several times. I said, what happened, harold . And he blew me off. Reporter when harold came to mississippi for tonis Memorial Service her family thought he was more interested in watching a Football Game than talking about tonis last day on earth. He announced to us that day that he wanted to sit down with us and talk. And he said, oh, he totally brushed off. It will take about ten minutes. I want to watch the game. At halftime, well have well talk. Reporter rhonda couldnt believe what she was hearing. Nope. Thats not going to happen. Its going to be a lot longer than that.

Three months after Toni Henthorn fell to her death in Rocky Mountain National Park, her husband harold sent out a christmas card. A photo of him and daughter haley hiking in the forest. The inscription, we appreciate your prayer for us as we walk through this difficult time. Now, many people who had loved toni saw these sentiments less as heartfelt and more as part of a coverup. Did people see harold as the husband in mourning who had just been through an absolutely horrible tragedy trying to save his wife . I mean, that was so odd. We never saw any emotion out of him when we went to denver. The only time he cried was when he got the phone call that my sisters death certificate was going to say, pending. And that was he was more angry than anything else. Reporter friends and family were suspicious of harold for many reasons, including that he couldnt seem to get his story straight about what happened to toni. The night she died, harold told tonis older brother barry on the phone that toni had lagged behind on the trail and he lost sight of her until he saw her at the bottom of the cliff where she fell. But later, when he spoke to tonis younger brother todd, harold added several new details. Toni was taking a picture and he had gotten received a text. It was that haley was playing in a soccer game and it was a picture of haley playing soccer. And then when he looked up, my sister was gone. And she had fallen off the cliff. Reporter harold told many people toni was taking pictures of wild turkeys while the ranger recalled harold saying toni was trying to get a shot of him. Journalist Michael Fleeman. Harold gave several versions of what happened. And where the stories begin to diverge is really what was exactly happening at the time that she went off the cliff. Was she taking a picture of him . Was he on his cell phone looking at Text Messages . Reporter friends and family werent the only ones comparing notes and clues. Because toni died in a National Park, the fbi joined the investigation. And the more they looked at what happened, the more reasons they found for concern. Starting with the trail itself. This is not an easy descent, and people who knew toni couldnt understand why a woman who had had bad knees since high school would even risk it. Dateline retraced harold and tonis path with the help of joey thompson, a climbing and hiking guide who often works in Rocky Mountain National Park. Is this path a path welltraveled . Do a lot of people come down here . It seems tricky. No. This path is way out of the way for any recreational hiker to be scouting about and having fun in the mountains. Reporter would you recommend somebody who is not an expert hiker or rock climber come down here . Definitely not. This is a place thats very loose, high classification of how we rate the terrain. This takes a lot of technical ability and sure footing. This is definitely out of the way. Reporter what about a woman in her 50s with bad knees . Absolutely not. Reporter investigators also looked closely at harolds story of what happened after toni fell. Remember, he said it took a long time to pick his way down the mountain to his bleeding wifes side. And sure enough, nearly an hour elapsed between the last photos on tonis camera and harolds call to 911. 911, whats the address of the emergency . I need an Alpine Mountain rescue team immediately. Reporter but heres the problem. When investigators retraced harolds steps, it took just a few minutes to get from where she fell to where she landed. Then there was harolds statement that before calling for help, he had to move toni to flatter ground so he could do cpr. But the ground wasnt flat at all. The first ranger on the scene wondered why harold placed tonis head below her body. Harold had told friends he was trained in first aid. Usually when theres a head injury one elevates the head. If Everything Else had been normal, you would just say this was a guy who freaked out and made some bad decisions after his wife fell off a cliff. I mean, you have to give people a certain amount of leeway. Reporter but Everything Else was not normal. For example, harold cut his call to 911 short because he said his phone was dying. Can you hang on one second for me . My phones ill check ill check back in uh okay. Text me. Maybe text me because my my batterys really low. Okay. Thanks. Okay, harold. Reporter yet when the fbi examined his phone records, they found that over the six hours following his first call to 911 harold made or received 22 calls and 98 Text Messages. Hes texting his brotherinlaw. Hes texting his friends about picking them up. Hes on the phone with different agencies. When was he actually performing cpr on her . Reporter the first ranger to arrive on the scene wondered the same thing. Harold is sort of standing there not doing much of anything. I think he has a fire going. And the ranger shows up, and suddenly harold zips over and starts performing cpr on his now dead wife. Reporter remember a 911 operator had coached harold on cpr. But the ranger noticed tonis lipstick wasnt smeared. No signs of mouthtomouth resuscitation. Were not heroes all the time. We do the best we can with what we have. And its a very traumatic situation. But i think even factoring in all of that, harolds behavior was extremely suspicious. Reporter perhaps most suspicious of all, a clue from harolds cell phone records that he may have been on that mountain before. In the weeks just prior to tonis death, pings from harolds phone show him traveling north toward Rocky Mountain National Park many times, something he never told investigators. Harold said that he and toni came to this really hardtogetto spot for the views and they are remarkable. But theyre not that much better than the views where they ate lunch, just up the hill from here. After the fbi found out that Harold Henthorn had to come to Rocky Mountain National Park at least nine times alone before that trip. They started to believe he was on a scouting mission for the perfect lonely location. Lured toni to this dangerous ledge, then a deadly push. If that sounded chilling, there was Something Else to consider. After toni died, within literally hours Law Enforcement got tips saying, you have to look into the first wife. Reporter yes, the first wife. There was a whole other story to tell there. Coming up he was always with us. He was always involved in every conversation. And we were never allowed to be alone. What had happened to wife number one . Have type 2 diabetes. Im trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke.

From a cliff, kim laferriere was stunned that tragedy had visited the same man twice. It is possible that someone could be married to two women who both die from accidents. Right. And at the time we thought how sad. Reporter a little less than five years before he met toni, harold had lost his first wife. Her name was lynn. Kim was lynns best friend. They met at a Christian Youth camp. When i first met her, she came flying into the room bigger than life and she jumped up on one of the bunks and said, tell me who you like here. Reporter was she talking about boys then . Yeah, she was. Im like looking at her going, who is this wild woman . Reporter lynn was funny and fiery and full of life. Kim knew she liked lynn right away, but it was their shared spirituality that cemented their friendship. We both were committed to serving god, and she would just draw you in. And she cared about you. And she wanted to pray for you. She wanted to know what you needed. Reporter lynn was already out of college and working. Kim was still in school. But they shared prayers and secrets. Lynn told kim what she wanted in a man. A christian husband, somebody who loved the lord, was a leader and strong but yet general. And we talked about it. You know, if i started dating someone or if she did and we had a check and, you know, we talked about that. I dont know if thats the best person for you. Reporter did you have to approve . I did. Reporter after all that girl talk about boys, lynn found a man kim did approve of, an old friend she had first met in college. His name . Harold henthorn. She just said, theres this really neat guy. You know, we went to school together. Reporter was harold charming . He was very charming. Reporter harold and lynn married on september 11, 19 92. But she saw something that gave her pause. Youre saying even on the wedding day he was being controlling. He was just everything is always planned with harold. Youd move from one plan to another. Reporter but kim put her concerns aside and enjoyed the festivities. Lynn and harold started their new life together in colorado where he had a job as a geologist. Lynn got a job as a social worker. Kim was happy for lynn, of course, but she also felt like her friend was slipping away. Maybe it was the distance, maybe it was her commitment to her marriage, but just like it would be with toni years later, kim could never seem to get lynn on the phone without harold listening in. Many times i didnt know he was on the phone, but i would sense that he was on the phone. And i would say, before i said something personal, lynn, is harold on the phone . And he would always say, hey, kimmy. Reporter kim couldnt even get alone time with lynn when she went to visit her in colorado. He was always with us. And he was always involved in every conversation. And we were never allowed to be alone even if we were together. And he would even make comments when we would go to the bathroom, you know, you girls hurry up in there. You know. He would always make those, you know, like joking comments. Reporter thats got to start to get on your nerves . At times it did. But he always dismissed it as, i want to get to know you. Lynn loves you. I want to love you like lynn does. I want to know who this, you know, crazy woman that she loves. Reporter but when harold wouldnt let lynn go to kims wedding, even after kim offered to help pay for the trip, kim felt like shed really lost her best friend. She called me and said, i cant come. And i said why . Can you tell me why. And she said, i need to honor my husband. And thats all she would say. Reporter kim thought lynn was okay doing what harold said, because she believed that was her role as the perfect christian wife. There was some awe to the fact that she really did honor her husband. She would never speak negative about him. So i always looked at her and thought, man, maybe shes the better woman. Reporter as the years went on, lynn and kim spoke less and less frequently. But then in the fall of 1994 there was a reunion of sorts when the henthorns went back to the east coast for a visit. Lynn and harold got to meet kims children. And as true friends do, the two women picked up right where they left off. We talked and we laughed. And it was a good time. But we were always all together. I mean, even when it was time to go to bed, harold didnt go to bed until lynn was in bed. Reporter in other words, harold hadnt changed. But kim thought lynn seemed happy. Did you think harold was good for her . I did, yes. Reporter what kim didnt know, it was the last time she would ever see lynn alive. Coming up i said, i got to get her some help.

Toni henthorn has died after a fall from a cliff in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Her husband harolds first wife also died in a terrible accident. Such an awful coincidence, or was it . Were about to hear exactly what happened to wife number one. Again, andrea canning. Reporter may 6th, 1995. It was a cool spring evening in the colorado countryside. A little after 9 00 p. M. , Patricia Montoya was with her family on highway 67 about an hour and half south of denver. Basically in the middle of nowhere. Came around a bend. And there was a flare in the street and a man trying to flag cars down. Reporter the man was Harold Henthorn, and he was in a panic. Harold was at the driver window asking us for help because the car was here and it had fallen on top of his wife. And looking over to the area, you could see her legs coming from underneath. Reporter lynn, his wife of 12 years, was under the jeep. It was a horrible scene. We asked him what happened, and he said that they had stopped to fix a flat and his wife somehow went under the car possibly to get a lug nut and the jack fell from underneath the car and she got pinned. Reporter lynn was face down with the brake rotor resting on her back. The montoyas carefully lifted the jeep. All four of us got her out and we gently flipped her over. And she was her lips were already turning colors, and she wasnt breathing. Reporter it was a cold night. The montoyas piled coats on lynn. And so at that point, the two gentlemen that i was with, they started cpr. And i said, i got to get her some help. Reporter time was tickin n down for lynn henthorn. No one had cell phones, so patricia raced toward the nearest town, nearly two miles away. It was late. It was desolate. She drove up to one of the few houses. I drove directly up to as far as i could get to the door. And i flashed my lights and i honked the horn until the man came out. And i asked him if he could please call 911. Reporter the man quickly went inside and made the call. Then he came back out. He said that help was on its way. I asked him if he could bring a couple of blankets to cover her. And he grabbed some blankets and he followed me back up the mountain. Reporter when the 911 call finally went out, accident on route 67, Roxanne Burns was one of the emts sent out to help. When we got on scene, there were two emts working lynn. They were doing cpr on her. I asked them what they wanted me to do, if there was anything i could help them with. They said, no. We want you to go talk to the husband. Reporter she asked harold how it happened. He said he wasnt entirely sure. He did tell me that some lug nuts had fallen underneath the car and she must have gone underneath the car to get those lug nuts and somehow jarred the car. Reporter or, harold thought, he might have jarred the car himself when he tossed the bad tire into the trunk. Roxanne tried to reassure him that they could still save lynn. Was she hanging by a thread . Do you think she had already died and they were trying to revive her . When youre doing cpr, theyre actually dead at that point and, you know, so youre trying to pump their heart. We had called for a helicopter because sometimes when you do cpr you can actually, you know, revive somebody. Reporter and miraculously, it seemed, they did manage to revive lynn. We actually had a paramedic show up also on the scene, gave her a shot of epinephrine. Her heart started beating again, so we were all real hopeful at that point that she was going to survive and got her on a helicopter and flew her. Reporter but lynn didnt make it. She died at the hospital. She was just 37 years old. I remember the day as if it was yesterday. I received a call from a friend who said that, im sorry to inform you, but theres been a bad accident. And lin died yesterday. Reporter it was heartbreaking for kim that her friend was dead and that she died in a way that was not quick and certainly was painful. The autopsy concluded after the 3,000pound suv fell on her, lynn hemorrhaged into her lungs and died from asphyxiation. The only marks on her body, imprints from the brake rotor. The local Douglas County Sheriffs Department opened an investigation, but a few days later the coroner ruled lynns death an accident. The case was closed. Did you have any reason to believe this wasnt an accident . No. We all believed him and took him at his word. Any thoughts that i might have had i just dismissed. Reporter harold had his wife cremated, spread her ashes on a mountain he said she loved, and then went on with his life. He even kept driving the same jeep for a while. Eventually he married toni, and lynns death became a distant memory. For some people, anyway, but not all. Nearly 18 years later after toni fell off that cliff, the Sheriffs Office called Patricia Montoya. I dont understand why it took so long. Reporter emt Roxanne Burns got a similar call and had a similar reaction. When you got the call, was it, sort of like i was expecting this call . Yeah. I did say that to him. Is this about the car accident up on 67 . And he said, yeah, it is. And i go, is it about that woman that the car fell on her . And he goes, yep. I go, oh, thank god. Coming up was there reason to be suspicious of this accident, too . It made the hair on my neck stand up straight. This guy was all over the map from the getgo. Do your, do your thing do your, do your thing do your thing, just do your thing do your, do your, do your thing do your thing baby do your, do your, do your thing dont stop, dont stop doing it baby do your, do your, do your thing dont stop, dont stop doing it baby do your, do your, do your thing just do your thing and at kay, he designs for the hollywoods bstar in your life. This ring was inspired by an art deco design that goes back 100 years. At kay. The numberone Jewelry Store for. Yes. Every kiss begins with kay. It was 2013, nearly 18 years since shed arrived as an emt at the scene of lynn henthorns bizarre death, when the phone rang, a sheriffs detective on the line. Rocks anne never forgot that night. It wasnt just the horrible way lynn died, her own jeep crushing her, it was the husband, harold. Roxanne remembered he just wasnt acting right. Youve seen a lot of these . Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And he was just so calm about the whole thing and didnt ask any questions about how she was or anything like that. He wasnt screaming at me, grabbing at me, saying, you have to do something. You know reporter desperate. Desperate. Yeah. Reporter instead, as roxanne remembers it, harold seemed to be avoiding her. He kept Walking Around the car. He kept, you know, making me follow him. So i would ask him a question, and he would walk away from me. Reporter Patricia Montoya, the good samaritan, also remembers thinking that harold was acting strangely that night. For one thing, even though harold flagged down her familys car, patricia says he didnt seem to want their help. We started to get her out from underneath the car, and thats when he started telling us, you know, get away from her. Dont touch her. Reporter she also noticed that although the night was chilly he didnt even attempt to take his coat off and cover his wife with it. So we all covered her with our coats. Reporter then when the emts got lynns heart started, roxanne said harold said something she never forget. When we put her in the ambulance and she did have a heartbeat, he said, really . She has a heartbeat . He was more surprised than thankful. Reporter now that harold had lost his second wife toni in a second strange incident, the Douglas County Coroners Office which had originally ruled lynns death an accident hired private investigator and former denver homicide detective Charlie Mccormick to review the case file. He noticed something about harold right away. On face value, hes inconsistent. And thats never a good sign. Reporter for starters, harold told multiple stories about why he and lynn were on that back road in the first place. This guy was all over the map from the getgo. You know, were going to dinner. Be had been at dinner. We left the house at 3 00. We left the house at 6 00. Reporter in the Police Reports written in the hours and days after lynn died, harold is quoted giving Different Reasons as to why exactly they pulled over. He contradicted himself on what the tire problem was. Was it a flat . Was it spongy . Was it soft . What caused this to happen . Reporter whatever shape the tire was in, the henthorns apparently tried to change it using jacks that normally used for a boat because harold told the cops the jack that came with the jeep was broken. He couldnt get it to work. And he even said that he sprayed some oil or solvent on it to try to get it to work, and it didnt, wouldnt work. Reporter but no oil or solvent was ever found to corroborate his story. Then there was the biggest question of all how do you get under a car and have a car fall on you . It just didnt make sense to me. It never has. Reporter once again, harold seemed to tell multiple stories. Patricia montoya remembers him saying lynn went under the jeep to retrieve a lug nut. Lynns old friend kim laferriere says harold told her lynn was going after a flashlight, not a lug nut. And Roxanne Burns remembered harold saying Something Else entirely. He said, she was changing the tire, which made the hair on my neck stand up straight because that i was like, women dont usually change tires when a man is around. Reporter investigator Charlie Mccormick couldnt see any good reason for lynn to get under a jeep held up by makeshift jacks. Theres a lot of things that could have been looked at that would be easier to look at then than now. Reporter for example, what caused the jeep to fall . Harold said he thought it happened when he tossed the tire into the trunk. But this photograph shows a shoe print on the front right fender. I wouldve jumped all over that footprint. That have been analyzed, compared to the shoes that everybody had on that was at the scene, whether it be Harold Henthorn or his wife or Fire Department or anybody. Reporter but no one did. And no one ever checked the jack harold said wasnt working to see if it was really broken. No one ever checked with the restaurant that the henthorns were either heading to or coming from, depending on which version of harolds story, if any, was true. I interviewed the restaurant employees to see if they actually did have dinner there that night. Did they have a fight . Were they getting along all right . Or were they not there at all . Reporter whatever happened that night, by the time he met toni, harold was telling stories about lynns death that were entirely different from the original. Once, while addressing a sunday school class, he said his first wife had died of cancer. And heres what tonis friend allison heard it was one of those cars or trucks or vehicles where the back part opens up. It hit her on the neck and it broke her neck. And she died instantly. Reporter what tonis family said harold had told them was much more vague. When they learned the truth, it was a complete shock. Your belief was that harolds first wife had died in a car accident. Thats all you knew. Yeah. Reporter and then you get this bombshell that she didnt die in a car accident. Correct. Reporter it was a lie. And the first comment out of my mouth and im talking to an investigator i said, that sounds worse than my sisters case. Reporter and especially in light of tonis death, they wished lynns case had been investigated more thoroughly. The Douglas County Sheriffs Office declined to speak with us. But Michael Fleeman who has written a book about the henthorn cases says sheriffs detectives did investigate, at least initially. Everything was progressing as if this was suspicious, and then all of a sudden the brakes were put on the investigation. It was declared an accident and forgotten for nearly 20 years. Reporter detective Charlie Mccormick thinks the reason for that was the coroners quick ruling that lynns death was accidental. If youre a policeman and youre trying to investigate a crime and all of a sudden the coroner, who really has jurisdiction over all, says its an accident, youre a little bit cut off at the pass. All of the facts would indicate this was a rush to judgment. Reporter the former coroner says there was no rush to judgment. He didnt remember the case, but reread the coroners report at datelines request and says, quote, hindsight is a wonderful thing, but at the time everything fit. There were no suspicions raised and no reason to drag our feet. Nevertheless, after tonis death and mccormicks review, the Douglas County coroner changed the manner of lynns death from accidental to undetermined. Still, Harold Henthorn hadnt been charged with anything not in tonis death or his first wife lynns. So sheriffs detectives called on lynns old friend, kim. What did they ask you to do . They asked if we were willing to be wired. Reporter best friend under cover. What would she find out about harold . Coming up my husband and i were looking at each other going, i cant believe this.

At walgreens, how we care will change over time, but why we care remains the same treating everyone with the care and attention they deserve. Walgreens. Trusted since 1901. Two dead wives. Two lonely places. Lynn and toni never knew each other, but they shared so much. In life they both married Harold Henthorn, and in death harold had them both cremated against the wishes of their families. We didnt find out my sisters been cremated until her Memorial Service. We would like to be able to go to a grave somewhere and see her. I mean, first family said the same thing. You know, devastated. Never heard that, you know, she wanted to be cremated. I mean, as soon as he got that body released, boom, cremated. Reporter and the bertolets added, if that wasnt enough, he then took those ashes and put them where he wanted them. Tonis ashes are spread on the same mountain that he spread the first wifes ashes. Same spot. Did the exact same thing. And he always claims that its their favorite spot. I mean, were talking he did the exact same things from start to finish with both wives. Crazy. I mean, even the same photo pose. Reporter the families thought what harold did with his wives remains was insensitive. But the cops, federal and local, were looking for Something Else. Evidence of murder. In Douglas County, the detectives went down the list of who might know anything about lynns case. They talked to patricia. They talked it to roxanne they wanted to talk to harold. When he wouldnt agree, they turned to someone he would talk to his old friend kim laferriere, and asked her and her husband to secretly record a conversation with him. We said no at the time because we felt like he was innocent. Reporter after all, kim and harold had been Close Friends for years. We prayed about it. And we asked our pastor. And he said, if he is innocent, then youll be able to reveal that. And so then we agreed to do it. Reporter now she and her husband were meeting harold for a meal near her home in virginia, but first getting wired up by police. The cops were hoping to use harolds words against him. Kim still hoping to exonerate him. Were you a little scared . I was very scared. Reporter i would be scared to do Something Like that. Was scared. Reporter at first, she could only think of one thing. We had a huge wire around my waist. I kept saying, hes going to hug me. And they said, no, he cant. And i said, hes going to hug me. He does that. And they said, no, he cant. And i was trying to process what am i going to do . Reporter so dont hug me. Thats kind of hard. That looks suspicious. And so when he hugged me i put my hand in front of me to guard the wires. Reporter crisis averted, they sat down. Do you think he could tell anything was up . We dont know. He said many times, my attorney has told me that my friends will be wired. Reporter did that send a chill . No. I said, golly, thats terrible, would they really do that . I could play the game. Reporter kim and her husband were told not to mention toni and to drill down on what really happened when lynn died. This wasnt about saying did you do this . Did you cause your death . It was more about catching him in lies and inconsistencies . Right, right. Reporter then harold said something which didnt make sense to kim, that hed put his career on hold when haley was born and he and toni decided to keep that a secret. He told us the reason he didnt work and didnt tell us is that toni had asked him not to. He couldnt tell us because he was afraid that if we ever met up with the bertolets, that wed tell him that hes a stay at home dad. Im like, we would never see them. And he goes, well, i couldnt take that chance. Reporter then there was a technical glitch. At one point my wire wasnt working. Reporter how did you know it wasnt working . They called me on the phone and reporter so you were taking a call in front of harold from the police . And they told me to get in the bathroom and they would fix it. Reporter wire fixed, kim went back to the table. Harold, who was never shy about anything, launched into a sad story about life without toni. We didnt do much talking. He did. I mean, he cried and said how hard it was and how, you know, it was hard to be a mom and a dad. Reporter but there was one thing harold, who loved to talk, never said. We never asked him, did you kill her . But he never said, i didnt kill her. He would make statements like, why would i do that . Theyre accusing me of this. Why would i do that . But he never said, i didnt kill either one of them. Reporter still, as a longtime friend, kim couldnt bring herself to believe that harold was capable of murder. Even after all of this, you still arent convinced that hes a killer . Not 100 , no. But we have lots of questions, lots of unanswered questions, lots of concerns, lots of things that my husband and i were looking at each other saying, i cant believe this. Reporter after that night kim and harold continued to talk. It took kim some time to process what harold had said. She considered his inconsistencies, the differing stories hed told her and others. In time she grew to believe that neither of harolds wives, her friends, had died accidentally. How did that sink in . How did that feel . Sad. I felt like he was such a broken person. And i just felt sad that he wouldnt even come clean and tell the truth. Reporter sad in part that a man she thought she knew seemed to be someone else entirely. Do you think he is the master manipulator . Yes. I think he totally controls every situation and tries to control everyone. And i think when he cant control you, he becomes angry. And id never experienced his anger until he was going on and on about if the fbi contacted me or if anyone contacted me, they would tell me lies about him. I said, no, they dont. And he goes, what are you talking about . And i said, they dont tell you lies. They ask you questions. And he said, well, how do you know this . And i said, because ive talked to them. Reporter did he freak out . Oh, he freaked. Reporter harold must have wondered if kim was talking to the fbi, who else was and what were they saying about him. Coming up work with nonprofits. Harold told people he was a fundraiser for nonprofits. Fundraiser . Thats about to raise some questions with the fbi. And so is this. His wifes life was worth millions of dollars.

Harold wrote hed give a good chunk away and set up a foundation to fund various ministries. As it turned out, harold had come into a small fortune, although theres no evidence he gave any of it away. When his first wife lynn died, harold told police she had about 300,000 in Life Insurance. But when they reexamined the case, they found the amount was more than double that, more than 600,000. After lynns death, he collects hundreds of thousands of dollars in life in insurance money, and as best anyone can tell, thats how he supported himself. Reporter harold wasnt living the high life on that money. He lived frugally in the years after lynns death. But by 1999, when he met toni, he may have been trying to upgrade his lifestyle. There was evidence that he was researching a number of womens financial situations including tonis. It had been several years between wives. Reporter it was during those he made a home video shortly after haileys birth. Harold and toni had even lived apart after their wedding. Due to the demands of their careers. Harold told people he was a fundraiser for nonprofits. He had an address, a post office box. He had a business card. And this was his story. When fbi investigators dug deep into harolds financial history, they found no tax returns, no pay stubs, no efld harold had held a job since lynn died in 1995. When he was investigated after tonis death, they could find no evidence at all that he ever made a dime. Reporter apparently everything he ever said about his job was a lie. Including nearly every thursday when he said he went on business trips. Just as there was no business, there were no business trips. The fbi looked at harolds cell phone and credit card records and found out that he really spent thursdays at this panera bakery a few miles from his house, eating and surfing the web. So after the wedding, why did harold say he needed to stay in colorado for his work . Why eventually did toni have to leave mississippi . Tonis family wondered if harolds real purpose was to separate her from them so shed be easier to control and maybe to kill. Do you think that theres the chance that he knew his plan for toni from the very beginning . From the time they said i do . They got a Life Insurance policy as soon as they got back from their honeymoon. And so i think he was probably going down that path. Reporter the Life Insurance policy they bought after the honeymoon was just the first one. By the time toni died there were more. A huge part of this investigation was just untangling the Life Insurance policies and what he took out and what toni signed off on and what she may not have known about and where the documents went. At the end of the day, harold arranged it so that his wifes life was worth millions of dollars. And that if she died, he would get all of it. Reporter investigators discovered four policies totaling 4. 7 million. On the surface, he would make it sound like this Life Insurance policy on toni would benefit their daughter in some kind of a trust. Reporter and one of the policies had named haley as a beneficiary, but harold hadnt bought it. Tonis parents had. And harold had his daughters name removed. His name put on it instead. And he did it just weeks before that beam mysteriously fell on toni at their mountain cabin. Then just days after toni died, he alerted the Insurance Companies hoping to collect all those millions but couldnt get the money because the case was being investigated. By late 2014, the fbi had found the insurance policies and the cell phone pings to the park. They knew about the near miss at the cabin. They had dissected all the lies. Finally, they decided it was enough. November 6, 2014, a little over two years after Toni Henthorn died, harold dropped haley off at school then headed for home. He never got there. Law enforcement stopped him near his house. They arrested harold and charged him with tonis murder. A good day in amongst all the bad . Yeah. This wont have a happy ending because we wont be able to bring my sister back. But from here on out there will be good moments for us. And that was a good moment. And it just so happened to be on my parents 55th wedding anniversary. Reporter but there was still a trial to come and another battle with even more at stake. Coming up Harold Henthorn heads into court. Im thinking, okay, this is going to be hard to prove. No witnesses, no evidence. What do you have . Would a jury buy the case against him . Why did we reengineer americas 1 detergent . Because performance clothes have changed, but the challenge remains the same.

They missed toni but felt an Incredible Connection to her through haley. Do you see your sister in haley . Oh, i mean, tremendously smart girl. They are just alike. I think shed grow up to be just like her mother. Reporter but when the bertolets went to the media with their suspicions about harold soon after tonis death, he cut off their contact with haley completely. It was agony for tonis family. Then immediately after his arrest, a lawyer assigned to represent haleys interests in court made sure she got to see the bertolets. It had been a year since they had even been allowed to talk to her. She finally got to be a little 9yearold girl, and she just needs to be able to grow up without a lot of adult issues around her. Reporter the bertolets also went to court to seek custody of haley, but harold was still her father and even from jail made it clear he was not going to let his inlaws take his daughter. He is a horrible person that i want to be put in prison for the rest of his life. He deserves to be there, and he does not deserve to be a parent to this beautiful child. Reporter haley stayed in colorado and lived with her godparents. The bertolets only chance to gain custody of her would be if harold was convicted of her mothers murder. Harold pleaded not guilty, and that meant the stakes were doubly high when on september 8, 2015, ten months after his arrest, Harold Henthorn went on trial. It would be a battle for both his freedom and his daughter. The burden of proof is always on the prosecution, which in this case had no forensic evidence, no physical evidence, no fingerprints or dna. And no witnesses who saw harold push toni off the cliff. Juror john johnson was skeptical. Right at the start because i didnt know anything about it, i was thinking, okay, this is going to be hard to prove. No witnesses, no evidence at that point. So what do you have . Reporter but there was all that Life Insurance. There were the cell phone pings that seemed to show harold scouting out tonis last hike. The prosecution even showed the jury a map found in harolds car with an x marking the spot where toni fell. And there were all those versions of what harold said happened on that mountain. This was a case in which the evidence was not so much the physical evidence. The evidence were the lies. And it was lie after lie after lie after lie. Reporter the defense said none of the socalled evidence added up to murder. They said the pings on harolds phone didnt show trips to the park, but rather him taking a back route to his weekend cabin. And, as for the Life Insurance, toni knew all about it. Besides, they argue youd, toni would still be alive if a helicopter had been sernnt to rescue her as harold begged them to do and even offered to pay for. The crux of the defense was Harold Henthorn is an odd duck. He says more than he should. And that may make him a blowhard and an annoying person to be around at a Cocktail Party but doesnt make him a killer. Look past his character and focus on the evidence. Nobody saw Harold Henthorn push toni off that cliff. There is no video of it happening. Theres very little physical evidence to prove anything other than it was just a fall. Reporter but the prosecution had another powerful card to play. Although the defense objected, the judge allowed in testimony about harolds first wife lynn, about her death, her life n and about harolds many versions of what happened. And the question was, is this man just horribly unlucky or is he a double murderer . Reporter after ten days, the case went to the jury. John johnson, along with fellow jurors Peter Christofolo and jerry taboada, told us that over the course of the trial, they came to believe that toni was a victim from the time she first met harold online. Was toni just really unlucky when she chose Harold Henthorn on that website . Or he chose her . I think he chose her. I think she was a target. Because of her age, for one thing, you know . And she wanted to have kids. She was vulnerable. Yup. Reporter the jurors thought that harold had conned her when they met on the dating site, controlled her while they were married, and when they looked at this last photo toni took before she died, they thought they saw harold duping toni one last time. In my mind, she was doing the same pose he did. The last photo of him is hes on the edge of the cliff holding onto a tree, like, looking over. Well, if she gets there at the same time, its like, oh, poof. Reporter and while harold was not on trial for killing lynn, they believed harold was responsible for her death also. Did everyone believe that somehow there was a pattern there . There was certainly a pattern. Absolutely. Yeah. The similarities were just too much to push aside. The nighttime incidents. Desolate areas. It was like domino effect, everything was falling into place. Reporter in the end, they had no doubt. Guilty. It was guilty. Absolutely guilty. Reporter kim cried when she heard the verdict. Cried because she knew it was right and because she thought about her two friends and their last moments on earth. I feel sad because lynn was afraid. And i know toni was afraid. And that saddens me. But i have to believe in a god that met them right where they were, held their hand, loved them and told them it was going to be okay. Reporter harold has never been charged with killing his wife lynn. Three months after the verdict in tonis case, harold was back in court for sentencing. Tonis family asked that harold be spared the Death Penalty so that haley wouldnt lose both parents forever. Harold was sentenced to life in federal prison without the possibility of release. Harold told the court that day that he never killed anyone. He also said that he loved his daughter haley. Tonis familys focus then turned to the custody of haley. You hope to resolve that custody issue that she can be with the bertolets forever . I think thats exactly what were hoping for. And praying. Reporter you fought hard for that little girl. Oh, yeah. Her mother went through life, was a great person, worked hard. Were doing that because haley needs to inherit all the good things that her mother did. And she needs a secured life going forward. Were doing all that for haley, and no one else. Reporter december 23, 2015. A court in colorado granted tonis oldest brother and his wife guardianship of haley. We wont show her face as she looks now, but it was the best gift the bertolets could have hoped for. Haley was with them in mississippi in time for christmas. Now, this little girl who has gone through so much is starting to heal. She has her cousin anna kate to help. People are saying im therapeutically helping her through this. I dont really understand, but i dont know how im doing this, but i guess im just keeping her entertained and happy. Reporter though haley is having that trust with that money, everyone who knew toni, wants to make sure hailey never forgets her. She came into the office, and her moms lab coat was hanging behind the door. And i said, haley, would you like your mamas work coat . And she said, miss tammi, i would like that a lot. So i put it on her. And she went, it smells like my mommy. Thats all for now. Im lester holt. Thanks for joining us. [ man, woman moaning ] [ man ] okay
