boyfriend, ben, was not present. ben was aware of the fact that angie, russell, and i were all going out together. at least angie s friend, evelyn, ben didn t seem like the type to get jealous or violent. you could never imagine ben hurting angie? i could never imagine that. the evening ended at 1:00 a. m. angie dropped russell off from his apartment, which was walking distance from her own. and then took anita home. she thought about spending the night at angie s but decided against it. what was the last thing you said to each other? see you tomorrow at the football game. she doesn t meet me there, very strange. because she was a woman of her word. i remember saying, i wonder why angie is. i came home, and my roommate said, there s something i need to tell you. she said, umm, you might want to sit down. she goes, angie
was murdered last night and the police want you to call them back. what did you think? i didn t want to believe it at first. beyond that, i started with the whole would have, could have, should have. could i have prevented it, should i have spent the night? would things have been different? but she was not the last person to see angie alive. it turns out angie s boyfriend, ben, was that person. she had stopped by his place on her way home after dropping off anita. later that night, it was ben who called police to angie s condo. and what got their attention was not just what ben said, but how he sounded when he said it. does he sound frantic, panicked? investigators didn t think so. coming up police start focusing on ben, but soon the list of suspects gets longer. he was a pretty scary guy.
russell left town for about 24 hours. it seemed sussuspicious. when he returned, police paid him a visit. he said he didn t know anything about angie s murder, even though it was all over the news. it seemed hard to believe. police saw motive and opportunity. and while there was no witness placing russell at the crime scene, there was no one to back up his alibi. angie s friend, sheila, met with the lead detective who laid out for her the theory. russell snapped is the word he used. and then he grabbed a knife, took her into the room and proceeded to rape her. this is probably the one and only murder he will do, that it was just a passionate moment, and he snapped and he s going to be back to his old calm self. investigators asked sheila
type to get jealous or violent. you could never imagine dan hurting angie? i could never imagine dan hurting angie. reporter: the evening, angie dropped her off walking distance from her own and then took anita home. anita had thought about spending the night another angie s and decided against it. what was the last thing you said that night? see you tomorrow at the football game. she doesn t meet me there. very strange, angie is a woman of her word. i remember saying, i wonder what angie is. i came home, my roommate said, there is something i need to tell you, but you might want to sit down. she says, angie was murdered last night and the police are wanting you to call them back. what did you think in. i didn t want to believe it at first. beyond that, i started with the whole, would have, could have, should have, would i have prevented it, should i have
on that. what about ben, angie s oddly unemotional boyfriend, who officers thought acted strangely the night of the murder? the police check to see if there was scratches or bruises on him? they checked that, his vehicle, his apartment for any type of blood, bloody clothes, anything like that. nothing? nothing. and tests showed ben was also a secreter. whoever raped and killed angie was not. so cross ben off the list. which leaves russell. and he was a nonsecreter. his ally, he was at home in bed, not the strongest. there was no witness that could confirm where he was after he was dropped off by angie and anita. no one could confirm he went to bed or where he was after that. did he ever move off that
