Never realizing it may have made her the perfect prey for a predator. Now, shelbe is dead. It was pretty severe and forceful. Chris her last head shot, a crime scene photo. I couldnt believe that my sister was dead. Chris sister, krystina, wants answers. I cant hear her voice telling me that she loves me. Chris after shelbeys vicious birder, krystina had still used in searching for clues and her sisters death. What she finds is a bloody mess. When i went into shelbeys apartment, and i saw all the blood, i was still hoping it was fake. Chris krystina first suspicion immediately turns to shelbeys boyfriend, a man whod years, and krystina claims, helped her work as a high paid escort. Detectives also wanted to know a lot more about the couples connection. Via the first person i was there, the person that had the last contact with her. Chris cops soon learn shelbey had been living with the guy for several months. Not only did he find her lifeless body, calling 911, they knew he had spent time with her that day. The First Impression i got what my partner and i was, shelbey was nude. So, obviously, this person had some sort of relationship with her. There is no evidence right now that indicates that she was sexually assaulted, it appears to be consensual. Chris consent you will until it turned deadly. Detectives tell crime watch daily that shelbeys boyfriend have the mike has a lengthy drugrelated rap sheet. He comes in for questioning three times, always maintaining extensively. We havent ruled him out as a suspect. Chris but cops have no actual evidence against the boyfriend to make an arrest for murder. Months passed. A grieving sister is left wondering if shelbey is killer will ever be found. Its really important to me to find out who killed the shelbey, not only for shelbey, but so that way, he dont do it again. Chris but then, a apartment building. The highrise apartment complex had a video system and the lobby and we did obtain that video and the suspect is seen entering and leaving the apartment complex. Chris four months after the murder, cops really its stunning Surveillance Footage showing a suspect entering shelbeys building just moments before investigtors believe she was killed. The man on the tape is clearly not shelbeys boyfriend. Male wearing a light colored longsleeve shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. Shockingly, the timestamp on the footage reveals the mystery man entered shelbeys building at 8 34 p. M. , left just 23 minutes later. At 8 57 p. M. Right around the time Police Believe shelbey with murder. It seems so that the suspect committed the crime and then major to be gone as quickly as possible. Chris given the time frame of her death, cops believe he could be the killer, and they are desperate to connected to shelbey . Did he want her dead . Another clue comes from shelbeys phone, a messaging exchange setting a date, most likely a reply to her escort ads. We are confident that the person seated in the video is going to be the suspect and not the boyfriend. Chris of police can trace the men in the video to the phone number, they might possibly make a connection. But then, a roadblock. The phone was purchased then deactivated immediately afterwards. The phone that the suspect used was, in fact, most likely, just for this purpose. And then deactivated and no longer traceable. Chris a burner phone paid for in cash, so, it couldnt be traced. Elite homicide detectives to a chilling potential new theory. Shelbey could be the victim of a serial killer. A twisted mind with a thing for blondes. I wou in this case appears to have made contact with our victim based on her appearance, shelbey with a blonde, and an attracte woman, and he may have had a preference for that type of woman. Chris police tell was contacting other women similar in appearance before the night of the murder. He was careful not to leave fingerprints, and clearly knew what he was doing. It was no shock to krystina. He had to have some knowledge on how deep to cut the throat, where to cut the throat, what to wear, how to do it. I mean, he walked out without a spot of blood on him. He walked out with the same clothes he walked in with. Chris detectives broadcast the video throughout houston and post a reward. Meanwhile, shelbeys wages are on campaign online, desperate to find the killer before she strikes again. We have a gofundme page going. We want to try to hire a private investigator. Our goal is to raise 20,000. Chris tragically, its been nearly a year since shelbeys murder, so far, no the case is ongoing, it is being investigated, we have received tips up until this day. Chris now, we brought them doug oconnor, who worked on the tray von martin case, to enhance the footage to get a better look at the possible killer. The video is only 352 dots wide. Only onetenth of your megapixel. After enhancement, this is as much detail as can be pulled out. Chris the quality of the original video only allows for a slight improvement. But its enough for him to reveal some Surprising New information. From the original recording, its very difficult to see sure whats on his head. We move over to the enhance, we can clearly see what appear to be sunglasses on his head. A slight receding hairline. What appear to be shorts. Chris then, i particularly telling detail not well noticed in the original. It appears his hand, his left hand, is in his pocket. Chris it could be a sign he is hiding cuts on his hand or the moments after the grisly enhance what could be the most helpful to police. Shockingly, the suspect walks right past potential witnesses is sitting in the lobby, including a man who comes through the door. And enhanced video, we can see that the three people sitting here are paying attention to something in their laps that appear to be cell phones. It might explain why they did not notice the gentleman leaving. Chris now, with enhanced footage, crime watch daily wonders if any of those witnesses in the lobby else will recognize the man in this scene. Look closely again. Cops are desperate for more information. We put the video after the Crime Stoppers of houston, if anyone is watching this and recognizes this person, they can contact Crime Stoppers of houston, there is a reward for chris shelbeys sister remains determined to bring this killer to justice. If something happens to me, color. It wont stop until he is found. Chris even if she risks becoming his next target. I am still scared i could be next. I mean, he could be coming to try to stop me from trying to find out who daum is to my sister. Chris there is one more interesting note on the theory of shelbeys murder being the work of a serial killer. I am in houston where a woman had her throat cut, however, a connection between the two has not been established yet. Until then, investigators want you to take one more look at these images. If you have any information on the man in the glasses, you can call houston Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1713222tips. There is a 5000 reward. Its time to get this dangerous criminal off the streets once and for all. Chris up next, hes our cameras are rolling for an allnew hansen vs. Predator sting.
