david s mother right a victim impact statement. because if you barbara, i cried endlessly for 24 years. i ve wanted to die myself to be with david. her gaze fixed on the woman her son once loved. you are guilty. michael wolfe is where he should be, in prison. your father is where he should be, and you will join him one day because that is where you should be. in hell. david s brother, mark, was not at all sure the justice was served. if you lose on trial, that s gods will. you can t control that. but i think it should have gone to trial. i think society in two years when she comes out for house forest needs to worry. a picture of david. but his mother? there is justice. yes.
that was his motivation. in other words, santa barbara s attorney, wolfe would sell out barbara anyway he could to get a reduced sentence. of course, there was the uncomfortable fact that the two unprompted confessions he d made to his ex wives, confessions in which heap portrait barbara as a sort of black widow intent of having david killed. well, there are two versions that he gave to each of those ex-wives. the stories we re not entirely consistent, said attorney seltzer. besides, he said, barbara was at home in arizona the night of the murder. how does he know that? a phone bill from her mother s home, placing calls to her home in arizona that night, where nobody else could have been there. what s a phone bill of that age doing lying around somewhere, where it can be grabbed for evidence by the defendant?
who saw stopped at the mere mention of david jackson s name was in jail awaiting trial for killing him exactly where barbara belonged said detective donna velazquez. she made it happen, she was the instigator as well as being the one in the middle? i had no doubt in my mind that she was the catalyst. barbara, meanwhile, maintained her innocence. claimed there was a reason michael wolf lied about her that way. it was payback, she said, for something that happened when they were married. and here came another one of those odd stories. earlier, remember, the one suggesting drug running on david s delivery truck. now the story about michael and gun running. i was putting away laundry one day and i saw a bulge in a dress shirt pocket and there
david was to pick him up at the airport. but when mark arrived, he waited and waited. no david. and mark jackson had a terrible feeling. no matter what, he would have been there for me. i knew something was wrong. i knew something that happened. oh, yes. very bad. and as the rookie detective donna velazquez poked around deep in the past. that something was reaching out through the mud, to tell her it s long neglected story. that case was both cold and baffling. but maybe, nature in south florida could help the investigation. coming up it was a crazy weather and water table that we had. if he were ever buried in there somewhere along the line, you re going to bump up. when dateline continues.
divert suspicion in a week from someone. an ex-wife would qualify, of course, as a person of interest in this kind of case. but as velazquez and we learned, barbara had an alibi. she was in anywhere near florida, she said. when david disappeared. i was not a florida. i was in arizona. i was nowhere around here. and looking any further evidence, detective velazquez was stalled dead in the water. alas, maybe the man barber was married to at the time knew something. michael wolfe. a little check unrevealed wolfe had been married seven times. number six, a woman named nancy graham, lived in alabama. velazquez called her. i told her, i m investing in investigating the d disappearance of david jackson. she said to me, how much evidence do you have against him? i said, i can t discuss the evidence with you, but i can
