Shauna parked her car in the back lot, a practice discourage because Surveillance Cameras are unable to track her all the way to her car, but still it is easier this way and quicker.

We did not know if any of us were next. Reporter it never occurred to shauna to become a Cocktail Waitress moving to las vegas in the 1990s but she wanted to be closer to family meaning big sister, paula. She thought theres no way i can be a Cocktail Waitress because i dont even during. Reporter in the casino town the Cocktail Waitress could make good money. At 46 now she was a veteran. She would laugh at herself and say i still dont know what is in these cocktails. I order them, they give them to me and i take them to the people. Reporter she was good at it and everybody could see that. All of the customers loved shauna so much. She was a sweet person and beautiful. Reporter she may close friends.

It was the handsome boy scout of a firefighter named george tiaffay. George was the genuine article, the all american good guide. He had overcome early obstacles to become a topnotch student in high school. He was a star athlete. This is his sister, maria mcgrew. Valedictorian and on the football team. You would think he would be a jerk. Just a job, mean spirited, stereo typical. Reporter he was quite the contrary said maria. He was always the calming force among family and friends, the gentle speaker. He had an outlook in life that i want to go out and make the world a better place. George did and earned a prestigious appointment to west pointe and became a combat engineer, serving in panama. His childhood friend aaron went down for a visit. The stories he told me about missions he accomplished, building schools, roadways, bridges at an impact on his life. He finally felt i am getting to do something. George left the military at the rank of captain and to corporate engineering job, but soon realized that life in the Office Building was not for him. He wanted to work for real people which is why george put aside his fancy degree. He went to vegas to train as a firefighter emt. Focusing on himself was not how he wanted to live his life. He wanted to serve. That was the favorite word of this, to serve. So so while shauna serve drinks at the palms george served as a firefighter and found time to do what he could to volunteer with the down on the luck souls on the fringes of the glamour here. In 2004 that had a baby. She loved it. Her daughter was the most important thing to her in this world. Everything she did revolved around her daughter. Dancing to every bodys favorite. Two years later a marriage in hawaii. Mom and dad just got married. What do you say . Reporter just the three of them. Back in vegas it was a busy albeit complicated life. George had 24 hour shifts and shauna had nighttime at the casino. December 29, 2012 at three a clock in the morning she walked to the empty lot to the car. She started the car and pointed away from the strip and under the full moon headed home with no idea what was waiting for her. It was 9 00 a. M. When george arrived with her daughter.

Part of what made it so incomprehensible was where it happened. Shauna tiaffay lived in a good, safe neighborhood. The part of town where vegas does not party and the part of town of those that worked at the casinos raised their families and lived ordinary quiet lives. This is where they found her, george and their eightyearold daughter, inside of their own house but not so safe after all. I think i need to report a break in and a murder. Reporter george would have known even if he had not been an emt that she had been dead for hours. What is going on there . My wife is on the floor, bloody, stiff and not moving. We got a call in the morning. Reporter Detective Dan Long in homicide for a long time and god knows that vegas is kept him busy, he and his partner, teri miller.

We sent detectives over to the palms and they said that shauna was one of the best employees they had. Something happened after she left so what . Shauna is very beautiful and did someone see her at work, and followed her home . Reporter of course as the husband george would have to be considered a possible suspect too. Detectives pulled him aside and interviewed him right on the spot. George, you understand your statement is being recorded and that we want to talk with you about what happened this morning. Yes, sir. Reporter george said when he saw the garage open he had their daughter hang back while he went inside. I saw her laying there frozen. In my job, i know what that means. Are you a paramedic . I am an emt firefighter. Reporter the daughter, thank god, did not see anything, said george. He rushed her out on the street i did not know if anybody was in there so i want to get out of there with my daughter. Reporter he had taken her to shauna because it was seans turn. We were separated but talking about moving back in together because we were getting along again. Reporter data complicated arrangement with Shauna Working 7 00 to 3 00 and george as a firefighter worked long shifts but got a lot of days off. Their daughter was shuttled back and forth between them and when they were both at work the girls spent the night with georges mother. What shift did you work . The 24 hours shift. Reporter he was at work when shauna was killed and they did checking to make sure. If it left for any run or left for any reason. Reporter he was on everyone and did not leave work at all so it was not the husband this time. He had nothing to do with the attack on shauna. Reporter george did offer a possible lead. The garage door is open which is unusual. We were worried because my wifes house got broken into a week or two ago. Reporter the thief in the earlier burglary it appeared used the bathroom to take a shower and left with several pairs of shaunas panties and some jewelry. He left behind a pair of boxer shorts, size small. Act in shauna immediately suspected neighborhood teenagers, said george. She discussed it with several people that included george and decided that it might be she left something unlocked, and it could be maybe some kids that live in the neighborhood. Reporter so is that who killed her . Looking around the Crime Scene Detectives realize that the killer or killers had been into the booze and taken not only her purse but like in the earlier burglary, her underwear. They said about checking out every one of the neighborhood boys. They had solid alibis, all of them. They were not involved in the breakin or in her death. Now things get even more scary. We dont know what we have. Reporter after that word got out it could quickly spread the terror around, like it already had among shaunas coworkers. We did not all if there was a psycho watching us girls work at the palms or if any of us were next. Reporter they got a boost the second day went on a walking path near shaunas, someone found the items from her pursed. The id, makeup and personal things.
