Said the prosecutors. david moffitt planned to get away with murder by framing a perfectly innocent man, andy wegener. >> what kind of a mind is behind that sort of behavior? >> very cold, very calculating. there was a tremendous amount of planning and premeditation that went into this murder. and he tried to execute it so that he would not be blamed, that he would get away with it. >> and remember that sweatshirt left behind after the shooting, as if the killer had been sloppy? >> in the sweats...

Never know. they needed to search her phone, see who she talked to in the hours and days before justin was shot to death. they also got a search warrant for david moffitts house. and inside? no, they didnt find the murder weapon either. but they did find these strange notes, seemed to have been written by someone who had been watching justin and angies neighborhood. >> those surveillance notes listed addresses in the immediate area around the crime scene. and they were very specific about when n...

How was that remotely possible? >> reporter: its more evidence to suggest that theres some sort of conspiracy involved here. >> its too early to really rule anybody out. we wanted to find out -- if andy was the actual purchaser of that weapon. fortunately, that bill of sale gave us the lead to where the weapon came from. >> reporter: his name was right here -- drew bahlmann. and here he is. hes a small-town high school english teacher in a little place called signourney, 90 miles or so from des ...

>> it was all very confusing. it didnt help that david moffitt and andy wegener look similar. so one last thing to try. earlier, when deputies searched david moffitts house, they found the bill of sale for that carbine. but they also discovered a receipt for lemonade and a candy bar bought at a dollar general store in the very town where the rifle was purchased. >> so i requested video from that store. a person walks into the store, wearing the hat, but the sunglasses are hanging off of his shir...

>> whats awhile mean to you? >> three weeks to a month -- three or four weeks at least. its been awhile. theres a bunch of guys that get together, we pay five bucks and are able to shoot around in this place for a couple hours. >> let me double check, make sure were good to go. >> sure. >> the detectives exhausted their questions, took andy back to work, apparently in the clear. unaware that andys name was about to turn up one more time in a very suspicious place. coming up -- investigators ha...

>> yeah, he had texted me the next day saying, "i dont feel like this is over. can you give me another chance?" i didnt respond to that, so then after that, yes, i never heard from him at all. >> that was in june 2013, 11 months before justin was shot to death. angie told the detective all that. so odd, to say the least, that angie swore she could not remember the guys last name. >> did you ever think about what his last name is yet? >> i keep trying to think of it. dave. dave. dave. dave. i do ...

>> it was at joes pub in johnston. >> just random run-in or was it a gathering? >> no, it was a gathering with kind of a group of friends. it was an engagement party. >> was justin the person who she was in a relationship after you broke up with her or was there someone else? >> i -- there might have been somebody else in between. i dont have any idea. >> but you dont know? >> no. >> the last time you got in touch with angie would have been when? >> she sent a text message to me that said "happy...

Monster into justins life. >> but the prosecutors needed more evidence if they wanted to prove that david moffitt was the man angie saw as a monster. how, for example, did david get an i.d. with andy wegeners name on it? unless andy was somehow involved? >> one of the discoveries during that first search warrant was a computer box for a laptop. and that laptop was never found during that first search warrant. >> so the prosecutors wrote a second search warrant. and voila! they found it. but mayb...

And you were so thrilled to see us? >> andy said he spent the evening and night with his current girlfriend. >> so you spent the night at your girlfriends? >> oh, yeah. >> how long has she been there? >> three years. >> do they have good security there? >> uh, no, not really. is it gated to come in? cameras, anything like that? >> no. >> he has spent the night with his current girlfriend at that time. and we verified that before he left the office, before he had a chance to make a phone call or ...

Didnt tell them they found the man who sold the murder weapon, nor that they had to figure out who he actually sold it to. because surely whoever bought the gun must have been the killer. >> i asked him at that point to look at the photo lineups. the first set of six photographs i showed him contained the photograph of david moffitt. mr. bahlmann looked at it and he said, "i cant be 100% certain." he said, "the guy had a hat on, had sunglasses on." he goes, i wish i would have had him take it of...
