Towards me, hollering she is dead, she is dead something horrible has happened here. It is a homicide. Did you have plans to meet robin . No plans. How do you explain these Text Messages . We knew he was lying to us. My husband is cheating on meet with her . Im gonna tell you this, they were meeting last night. Once shes expected she certainly had the means and she certainly had the motive. We found of photo of her shooting a pink pistol, if that Gun Shot Robin only two people couldve done it. I may be a lot of things, but im not a murderer. You and i both know theres something going on here, youre protecting yourself . Youre protecting someone else . I want robbyn back. I want to be happy. I want what will never be. It began with a letter. Mailed by a sun scorched stack of Cement Blocks and steel wire. In the dusty plains outside of amarillo, texas. Randall county jail. We often hear from inmates. But this letter seemed a little different. Within neat lines the author dangled a promise. I will give you one hell of a story. Now that was the truth. The Tempestuous Tale that unfolded was about two family oriented women. Robin and katie. Fans from church that fell hard for the same guy. And somehow turned on one another. With a vengeance. Once she suspected something katies clause came out. The dizzying spiral of betrayal and bad blood between the women exploded into violence. Ending in a merciless, nighttime murder. And years of lies and suspicions. Dont be alone with her. Shes the kind of crazy that will kill you. Keep this in mind, a letter made one thing very clear. Nothing was quite as it seemed. Even as a teenager, growing up in suburban amarillo, robin had a clear sense of her destiny. She wanted to be a stay at home mom. Robins mom jacqui and her dad steve who had been married to the military, and each other, for four years. And were about as apple pie as it gets. And robin craved her own slice. Its like she wanted a relationship like we had, but she couldnt find it. The boys robin chose werent exactly the clean cut type. She likes the bad boy image. Being the girlfriend of a bad boy. And every time she find a guy who is like her dad she would freak out and go away and find the bad one again. What robin feared most, said her mom, was having no boy at all. She never wanted to be alone. She hated being alone. That was why she went from boy, to boy, to boy. With her warm personality, she became a hostess at a local restaurant. Bubbly, outgoing, friendly. Just loving everybody. Erin way trust at the same restaurant and was a magnet for nice guys. Erin was hoping that some of her luck would but rub off on robin. She always imagined having the perfect family, White Picket Fence, two quarter kids, dog, hold on yards. The path to that domestic tranquility was rocky and hard to follow. Robin and erin where fellow travelers on it. We love to go dancing and we are both under terry one so we werent drinking we are just enjoying being young. As friends . Yeah. And then one evening in 2003, robin met an old guy. His name was jeremy, david, spielbauer and he went jd by. They dance all night long and she said that they had a blast. He was genuine, he was carrying, and he showed a lot of attention. The perfect guy . Yeah. Polite . Very polite. Says yes sir or no sir . Yes. Well take that off when he met you. His good conduct came as no surprise, just 21 a big part of jds life story with his service in the marine corps. And combat in iraq, and afghanistan. He would tell people all the time that certain things would cause him ptsd, and he couldnt be in loud places and he didnt want to be in crowded bars. Because he had been a marine and fought overseas . Yeah. In civilian life, he was a mechanic, a gear head. Erin wasnt sure about him but it was robbyn who was so taken with it. And erin wanted her best friend to live her dreams. She wanted the happy no matter what would wake it work. You think she settled . I do. I think she loved him. But failure was not an option for her. She wanted to make it happen. Two months later it happened. Sooner than planned. Robin became pregnant and she broke the news to her mom and dad who were only just been hearing about their daughters new man. She was like a moving out, and im moving in with him in and his grandmother. And we were like, wait a minute, okay . Youre a grownup. Robin was just 22, and after she gave birth to her baby daughter, she and j. D. Decided to get married. It wasnt long before robin and j. D. Had a second daughter and money was tight and they struggled financially and otherwise, the couple was on again and off again. They also began attending a local church which came as a surprise to erin. They had never been to church before. And all the sudden they start going . Yeah. Three times a week. At church, someone new came into their lives. A single mother of two, her name was katie. Katies family was a part of that church. And they all started hanging out. Katie and robin soon became friends. But erin grew suspicious of j. D. s newfound religious zeal. You thought it was less a desire to worship in that church then the desire to be around katy . Erin, never shy, warned her friend. Robin was having none of it. Even as j. D. s interest in katy was breaking up her marriage. She really waited until it was extremely obvious before she said, they are together. But she finally did admit it to herself . Yes. Ved with each other. So, my husbands hooking up with this woman who was my close friend. And i have now rationalize that too . Yes. And you say to her this is crazy . Yes. Pretty much those exact words. After nearly eight years of marriage, robin divorced jd and eventually moved in with her parents. It wasnt long before robin had more news to share about j. D. And katie. She called me and said he married her. For a lot of couples, that bit of betrayal might be the last time they acknowledge either their ex, or the other woman. But not robin. It was pretty clear that she was still stuck on j. D. Who was now helping katie raise her two kids. Over time, robin found a new man, name jarred. Who worked several jobs. She was giggling, she was like a young person in love. Or in the infatuation stage. Mom, i really like this guy. I have a crush on him kind of deal. After all the growing pains, it seemed that a White Picket Fence was maybe, at last, in robins future. She was becoming the robin that i had met, back in 2001. That was friendly, and happy, and outgoing again. That must have felt great . It was like a light had come back on. And then ended just as quickly . It was turned off. When april night in 2014, robin went out and her black tahoe. And, she never came home again. Coming up. All i see is, did you find her . And i remember the last of the conversation. When the Second Police officer showed up it was scary. What is your gut telling at that point . Something horrible happen here. When dateline continues. Ontinues running is awesome.

But the sunrise on april 8th, 2014 was of particular interest to robin spielbauers mom jacqui. Robin had gone out the night before. And thats enough, there was still no sign of her. Im like, okay, if robin is not here. Im gonna be working, how were gonna get the girls to school . What is going on . As the hours past, jacqui and her husband steve nervously conjured up scenarios as to where the daughter might be. Maybe with her new Boyfriend Jared . Or her best friend erin . Meanwhile she fell asleep at erins house. Or this house. She wasnt at any of these places. Meanwhile, around high noon, a local businessman was driving through farmland outside of amarillo.

And by now, theyre minds were going to dark places. At some point it stops being irritated, and frustrating, and starts being scary. When the Second Police officer pulls up in front of the houses. Then it was scary. Right then, one of jackies friends called to say a black chevy tahoe had been found. And i was like, no, no, no. This is not happening. Its not her car. And then everybody was but telling me, its robins car its robins car and i was like, no were not gonna go there. Its not. And then the detective showed up and told us. We told them it was a suspicious death. And they asked the question, yeah, and we think its this point its a whole beside. Jackie broke the news to robins young daughters. The mom was not coming home. So they broke, and cried. Then she called robins former husband. Jd. And told him that they found robins body. And he was like, what are you talking about .

There is some nicks in the glass, and theres also a hot pink paint polymer transferred to the grass. Something that Hit Something that was . Pick something that was classic . Pink . Yes. At the time, the investigator had no way of knowing how significant that pink on the window might be. And he was trying to figure out who might wanted to kill robin.
