Her card was used to get in the room from 7 40, but just after midnight no activity up to that point. No activity opening to go into the door. That right away tells you that then the door opened from the inside. If narcy had been downstairs helping with breakfast, and no key other than the wifes had opened the door since midnight, who then had admitted the killer or killers . An early on mystery. May meanwhile had been summoned by the Hotel Manager to her stepfathers suite. I asked them, what happened . And theyre just like hes gone. You know. And im like, what do you mean hes gone. Try go do something. The hotel guards wouldnt let her in the room. One Security Officer was talking to another once. He said its a blood bath in there. A blood bath that sent her mother into hysterics. She is emotional, whaling, tears . She is throwing herself on the floor. Then she said, i think theyre after all the convention money. It had to be a robbery. They know we carry a lot of money. Somebody must have been watching us. Unusually ben novaks Convention Business ran on cash, bags of it. The exhibiters would turn over their dollars to the stepdaughter may and her assistants on site. This weekend they had taken in more than 100,000. Now, that money wasnt being kept in a hotel safe behind the front desk. Rather, it was stashed in closets, under the beds of the staff members. Question, had an insider who knew how they had gone about their business decided to rip off the company by torturing ben to cough up the cash . They had around 110,000 in cash. Youre in motivation country right now, right . Were trying to figure out, whats going on. They didnt get anything from him. So of course im scared. You know, not just for myself but for the staff. And if someone had been roaming the Hotel Hallways with money and murder on their mind, there were 2,000 potential suspects. A detectives might mare. We decided we were going to down load the locks of the entire hotel. Youre kidding . With the comings and going of every guest. 450 rooms. It took him two weeks to do it. The hotel was bristling with security cameras, but unfortunately for the investigators none in the hallway outside the murder room. One of the first things the cops did was round up all that cash and get it stored in the hotel safe until the banks opened in the morning. Then Sergeant Wilson posted a guard at the hotel room being shared by the mother and daughter. Before that sunday night was over, the two women would have another round of questioning with the detectives. If they totally grill med. You get mad. So of course i was fighting back. They were asking you the questions, did you do this . Correct. You know, one of the cops told me, we have to ask these questions. Im like, do you have to get like right here and ask the questions . A veteran West Chester County detective named alison had joined the investigation and led some of the questioning. May, the daughter, what did you make of her . Pretty much i got the feeling that she was being honest with me, but you never know. People are deceptive. The p kos went through narcys story once again. Hoping for some overlooked detail or investigative nugget. She is a grieving all of a sudden widow. Exactly. We need that information. Shes the last person that saw mr. Novak. Narcy told detectives there was something of value missing, a gold bracelet that spelled out bens name in diamonds. An expensive rolex watch was still on the bed lying in a pool of bed as well as an unexplained broken stem from a cheap pair of sunglasses. And then there was the matter of her husbands huge batman collection and a rare comic valued at 43,000 he was planning on selling that weekend. Batman might have a motivation for murder, his passion in life. Uhhuh. He had a valuable comic and somebody else wanted it. Correct. Wanted the value of it. Correct. Sunday was over. On monday, the cops would hear about the novaks tie me up sex games. On monday, when mother and daughter started to go for one anothers throats. Coming up they should have been united in grief. Instead, there would be a feud sparked by a single troubling moment. Im sitting there, my suspicions are growing and growing who had bound, gagged and bludgeoned to death ben novak jr. . It was overwhelming. To see it and just thinking, oh my god. In this case, the detectives thought vikt mology would play a big role. Figuring out his friends and families, his enemies. This is the address here. Detective alison along with detective terry wilson would eventually piece together an unflattering family portrait. We didnt know an affair, domestic, just a random act. They cobbled together the story of ben jr. , the wealthy son of a famous miami beach man with his eccentric batman collection. The wife from modest beginnings. The stepdaughter welcomed late to the family circle. We were still learning the dynamics of the family, how may was a stepchild. It took us a long time to learn more about the family. The novaks came off like candidates for the cast of a bad reality show, but good Old Fashioned robbery still looked like motive number one in the homicide. Ben novak jr. Was a hardcharging businessman. Lot of guys didnt like his style. Thats correct. He could have cultivated enemies along the line. There were a lot of people that didnt like him. On the monday after the sunday morning murder, police took narcy and her daughter to the morgue to identify ben jr. s bo dpi. Thats when may started to get the creeps about what had happened. Watching her stonefaced mother watch. Im throwing up in a garbage can. Detectives are right there and Everything Else and we all turn around and she is just staring at him. There was no emotion at all from her. That monday, late into the night, narcy and her daughter we are interrogated by the detectives. I should have been there. And i wish i got killed with him. Detective alison broached the sensitive subject of the sex life. With the male detective out of the room, detective alison managed to win narcys trust. Narcy confided that ben was into bondage. And when he let you tie him up, does he like his hands behind his back or in front . He likes his hands at the back because hearing he had been tied up in the homicide, did you think, is this a sex game gone wrong . We brought it up to her and i confronted her with that during the interview. Ben is found in a way that he enjoys sexually no, no, no, no. When i left ben uhhuh. He was not tied up. I just found it odd that the way he finds pleasurable he is killed in the same way. Because she was the spouse, the questions for narcy got sharper as the night wore on. Was she in on the murderer . If im being asked if i let anybody in, no i dont let them in. All the while may had been outside eves dropping on her mothers interrogation, getting chills. May said to me that somebody told her it was a blood bath. I dont remember anything blood. Blood is red. Just listening to her talk to detectives, nothing was making sense. When she heard her mother describe tripping over the body and reaching down to touch ben, alarms went off. She had seen her mother shortly after that. Im looking at her and theres no blood on her. In a scene that was described to you as a blood bath. As a blood bath, correct. Im looking at her from head to toe you dont see any evidence. I dont see any evidence on you. What are you thinking . My suspicions are growing and growing by the minute and im thinking that i am this horrible human being thinking that my mother could do anything like that. For 14 relentless hours, homicide detectives tried to pin back nar vi novaks ears, grilling her as though she master minded her husbands murder. Did you have anything to do with your husbands death. No. She never ate anything. She never drank anything. And she never went to the bathroom. The detectives would come in, question her, she would just keep flowing, nothing phased her. Question, had ben hired a kingky escort girl to tie him up . Narcy scoffed at the idea and told the detectives to tone it down. I want you have compassion, please. Have mercy. If there is an electrical chair and im a suspect, give it to me right now. Put me out of my misery. I want to die. Shortly after 9 00 p. M. , detective alison brought up the idea of a Lie Detector Test. I take a hundred lie deck te tors, i do whatever you want me to to. At this point im hoping i am completely wrong. If she passes, im going crazy in my own head. May also agreed to be polygraphed but then narcy got cold feet about taking hers. And the daughter is saying to her daughter, what is wrong with you. Why dont you just take the Lie Detector Test . Whats the problem . The mother finally agreed to the polygraph. May would pass her test but how did the Lie Detector Test go for narcy . It didnt go well. She flupged it all the way through. Yes. When the cops were finally done with the two of them for the night, may confronted her mother. I asked her to her face what, did you have something to do with this . I did. I got in her face and they had pictures of like the crime scene and stuff and i smacked them in her face. You think your mother killed ben jr. . I think she definitely had something to do with it. You know, i didnt think she did it herself personally. The cops had only started to peel back the many layers of the novak family story. There was still so much about these people they didnt know. Turns out, there were a few things may herself didnt know. But when we come back, she is about to find out. I see my mother coming at me with a crowbar. When Family Affair continues. The cops were going through hours of Hotel Security cam footage looking for what, they werent exactly sure. The footwork team of a Homicide Investigation was under way. Were leafing the doors open as far as were concerned. Everything is on the table until the investigation stalls or someone is arrested. The body of the ben novak jr. Was with the medical examiner. Mother and daughter attached now by blood only returned to florida separately. May had her own agenda, telling the cops she would help them any way she could. She was collecting her things from her parents house when she stopped in the guest cottage where ben had his home office. She was snooping through his files for the detectives, when she turned to see her mother upon her like a fury. I see my mother coming at me with a crowbar. I very quickly she swung it and i picked my arm up and she got this whole end on me with the crowbar. It was literally the final blow for may. She was calling me a trader. She knew that you were getting evidence against her. Uhhuh. Could you have backed off at that point . Could you have been a good little daughter and fallen in line . No. Its not in me. I knew what she had done was wrong, even though she was my mother, i knew she was wrong. The battleground between mother and daughter then moved from the novak house to the courthouse. A take no prisoners fight over the will. May was giving her cops her theory, her mother murdered her stepfather for the inheritance. Narcy stood to get an estate estimated at 10 million. Lock, stock and bat mobile. At this point, my mother was to get everything and i was like, shes going to get away with this. May filed a civil lawsuit against her mother, arguing the Probate Court shouldnt award narcy bens money because she had him killed. The court freezed his assets. So the big money was on ice, but may said her mother had already been then ill lis italy cleaned out safe deposit boxes kept by ben and his mother. Was she on the list of people . No, she was not. She told them a story. She did. My husband is out in the car waiting and she had been dead for a week. Yep. Narcy was seen leaving the bank with a duffle bag. With police scrutinizing her every move, narcy hired new york attorney, Howard Tanner. He says narcy did have authority to go into those safe deposit it boxes. He also disputed mays contention that narcy was involved in her husbands beth. When she discovers ben novak, she acted consistently with how anyone else would act in that situation. And the defense attorney urged anyone looking at this case to follow the money in bens murder. Down there in the fine print of the will, it shows that may, the daughter, may have had her own reasons for wanting ben dead and her mother accused. May abad and her children were the next in line. If somehow narcy was removed from the line of inheritance, the daughter, may abad would get 10 million through her children. Thats correct. With narcy out of the picture, may would get a flat 150,000 and her two boys the rest of the 10 million estate. Narcy began offering her own theory of the crime, may did it. When she realized the finger was being pointed on her, she accused me. Of arranging to kill ben. Correct. For the money. Uhhuh. The mother and daughter finger pointing accusations continued without cease fire, even though they inturned ben in if family moz lee yum. Narcy hidden beneath sunglasses ignored the daughter. The daughter brought her sons. One of my mothers body guards flashed his guns at my kids. Im packing in case theres any doubt. Yeah. I saw the extent of everything when she threatened her own grand kids. And i always said she would never do anything to her grand kids. She loves these kids. There was mother daughter war. Bad blood for sure, but the detectives were about to learn there was another close relative of interest in this toxic family portrait. And more crimes to investigate, perhaps even another murder. Coming up, from out of the blue, a twist. A cloue that could turn the cas upside down. This is shocking and it could be a big break. And then, revisiting those Hotel Security videos. The sight that chilled investigators. When dateline continues. Heres a good one seattle. What did geico say to the mariner . We could save you a boatload foghorn sounds loudly whats seattles favorite noise . The puget sound foghorn sounds loudly all right, never mind doesnt matter. This is a classic. What does an alien seamstress sew with . A space needle foghorn sounds loudly continuously oh come off it captain geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Mother and daughter each had a 10 million motive for murder as the detectives saw it. But Sergeant Terry wilson was focussing on narcy. He knew he didnt have enough to charge her with her husbands death, at least not yet. She had an alibi for the assumed time of the
