confession, joe snodgrass anger ri denied any involvement in the murder of his wife and called his former housekeeper a liar. to prove it, he permitted investigators to search his house. they found these insurance policies under a mattress. huh, and they said what are these doing under the mattress and he said well, i really didn t want you to find those. a little suspicious looking. i didn t want you to find that. the policies revealed something troubling. joe had recently increased the amount of his wife s lie insurance from 200 $200 to over $400,000 on joe s desk at work. investigators found even more potential evidence. they came up with a bunch of floppy disks, those big 5 1/4 disks that we used to use. just as the investigation was starting to take shape, joe s colleagues in the office of special investigations made a
investigators found two floppy disks on joe snodgrass s desk which they thought might hold evidence in his complicit with his wife s murder plot. before they checked the disks, investigators wanted to make sure that they actually belonged to joe snodgrass and weren t someone els. so she asked him to come to the interrogation room to identify them. snodgrass was in a cooperative posture. he was a law enforcement official so someone is investigating, well, naturally you try to cooperate and help so you can get him off the suspect list. as snodgrass examined the disks, investigators were momentarily distracted and he pulled out a pair of scissors and shredded them. now, they wrestled the scissors
tape with the same adhesive properties. their research lead to a brand of scotch tape called 8\11. it doesn t leave a residue. it s very easy to apply and it s very easy to take off without damaging anything. so they used it to piece together the damaged floppy disks. to their enormous relief, it was a success. it took some initiative and it works. there were lots of cheers. so it was pretty cool. it was pretty rewarding that we actually developed a technique that was working and we actually were getting data. what some said would cost close to a million dollars had only costs $31, but was there any information on the disks that would implicate sergeant joe snodgrass in his wife s murder? unlimited cash back.
away from him but there are pieces of this disk on the floor. i tell you, a couple of things go through your mind at this point. the first thing is how in the world did this man get scissors into the interview and second of all, how did he get the disk and do this? apparently, snodgrass knew investigators had his floppy disks and he came to the interrogation prepared. we knew that whatever was on that disk was absolutely should i say death to joe. snow snodgrass was immediately taken into military custody. he called us up and said they are arresting me for the murder of your mother and he said, i promise, i did not kill your mother. i said, okay.
