that would make me believe that someone is watching, and that he is on to it. and we have to detonate it now, before he realizes what it is and has a chance to escape. clearly, the killer had to know something about triano s daily routine. but detective james gamber soon discovered that a lot of people did. he had virtually no sense of personal security. he never locked his car, wouldn t lock his house. so someone with intel or information on gary s lifestyle could easily have set him up. and it appeared someone had checked on gary s whereabouts that day. what was interesting is that the day of the murder, someone called and asked if he was playing golf? man or woman? man, never identified. the very spectacle of a car bombing at a posh resort made an impact on camber s boss. then sheriff clarence dubnick.
present. it was not ron young s dna? it was not. and it was not pam phillips dna? it was not. that is correct. but there is all the evidence police discovered in his abandon van a month before the murder. maps of tucson, paperwork related to pam and here is divorce, a notepad with names of some of gary s friends and family, and a receipt showing ron spent 18 mysterious days in tucson the summer before the murder under a fake name. what was all that about? he was looking to help them get more child support by investigating the hidden assets of gary triano. that is why he was here. there was a notebook containing a few names of people associated with gary. you know why, because he was thinking gary might have put his vehicle on his niece s name, gary migh have put his vehicle and his girlfriend s name.
but why is an assumed name during his visit? he was already on the run from the police in aspen, colorado. he was hiding at that point. and as for the theory that pam killed gary for the $2 million in life insurance, nonsense, says her attorney. pam had wanted to let go of the insurance policy about a year prior. a friend of hams testified that you took over the payments on the policy because pam was short on money. a judge would not allow us to show the friends face. it was about $600 a month, and she felt that that was one piece that she could get rid of, and stop doing. and, i said, absolutely not. if you cannot pay for it now, i will. but you need to have the security for the kids. and, the friend told the jury, she actually forgot to make the last two payments on the insurance policy before gary was killed. which you think are significant, why? because she testified at trial, that pam never asked her again about the insurance policy. it never came up in any conve
i didn t give pamela a lot of what i knew. i let her talk and let her give me what she wanted to give me. detective keith st. john spoke with pam three times, twice in person. for the record, tell me your full name. pamela ann phillips. he asked him to talk about her relationship with gary, starting with how they met. was he already divorced? no. he was happily married. did she know about those meetings? she knew she was going to be scrutinized. i made it clear right from the beginning that we had to deal with the life insurance policy. we have the issue of the life insurance policy. she talked with me about how the payments were being made, when the payments were taken. out she seemed like she was up front. gary is the one that took this out, he also insisted it be in my name. they discussed two out there could be angry at gary. gary had so many business dealings.
young or the bomb. absolutely nothing related to the murder. once again, despite their suspicions, they couldn t charge pam phillips with any crime. for gary triano s children, heather and brian, it was impossible to believe their former stepmother could have anything to do with their father s murder. i was her friend i live with her. so no, i didn t think she was a suspect at all. then they read the search warrant affidavit, which detailed the audiotaped conversations between pam phillips and ron young. when you sit in a women s prison for murder, would you sit in a woman s prison for murder? and it s at that point, that we realized something was wrong. that the whole thing was not right.
