Each other. I asked him are you having an affair with sabrina . The perfect marriage may not have been that perfect . Yes, first one betrayal. Good morning my lover. Well, good morning. They talked about god, god is so good. Yes, god is so good. Then a deadly one. This starts to seem more like a hit whoever did this to rob needed to pay. Reporter what was really going on behind closed doors . That was the bombshell of all bombshells. No one could look away you just couldnt look away. Im lester holt and this is dateline. Heres Josh Mankiewicz with secrets in silver lakes. Reporter trackless dry and desolate. The Mojave Desert fits almost no ones image of the california lifestyle. Unless, that is, you stumble upon this little oasis. Silver lakes, a community of 5,000, impossibly built in the desert on the water. The lakes are artificial, of course. The houses look solid enough, stucco and red tile, along with churches, a golf course, and parks for the kids. Wholesome, anywhere, main street usa. But what if thats a mirage, too . Turns out, behind some of these doors, there are secrets. About religion about friendship about sex and about murder. Reporter rob and Sabrina Limon were just one of those magical couples. You wanted to invite them to every barbeque you had, and you wanted to make it to every every barbeque, or or every time they were gonna go out on a lake. And and they attracted people around em like that. Reporter friends jason and Kelly Bernatene say the limons were irresistible. They had two beautiful kids, and a great family. And just always happy. Thats so sweet how did they get along with each other . Oh, gosh. They never fought. They they were like they called each other bear and pooter. And hugs, and kisses, and highfives all the time. Just happy, happy, happy. Reporter their happiness was all the sweeter because robs own parents had split up when he was a child. Divorce is hard on kids. And it was hard on on on my brother. Mom worked a lot of nights, you know, being a single mom. So i would take care of robert. Reporter after graduating high school, rob lived with chris here in prescott, arizona. Its where he met sabrina, just about everyone called her brina. He brought her to to our home. And introduced us. And he said, i think im gonna marry her. Reporter chris could tell this was serious. She loved my brother. And i could i could tell she did. Reporter rob adored both sabrina and her family says lydia marrero, another of robs sisters. They were very warm and welcoming. And they did things together. And thats what he wanted for himself and his family. Reporter rob and sabrina married in a Beautiful Church wedding on august 19, 2000. Rob thought about becoming a firefighter then landed a job as a mechanic for a railroad company. He loved his job just like everything he did. He put 110 into it. Hed always take pictures of himself at work, you know, see the trains in the background and robert with his thumb up and, you know, just enjoying life. Reporter sabrina and rob settled in small town helendale, california. In a Community Called silver lakes, some people call it the happiest place in the high desert. Their house was on strawberry lane. They had two beautiful children robbie and leanna. Almost 3 years apart. Kelly bernatene is a hairdresser in town, thats how she and sabrina met. She made an appointment, came in, was super nice. Friendly, like, overthetop friendly. I did her hair. She told me about her family. She talked to me the whole time, nonstop. She was hard to resist. Yeah. She was. Reporter kellys husband, jason, is a firefighter. Soon the limons invited them over for dinner. You you remember that first dinner . Yeah, i remember the first time i met rob. Hes actually kind of a scary dude. Hes hes really big. Hes got tattoos all over his arm. And hes got his last name tattooed on the back of his head. So, his his appearance was not like his his personality. It only took a minute to realize he was the nicest guy in the world. Reporter jason and rob became fast friends. So did kelly and sabrina. We used to joke that sunshine was coming out of their their butts, they were such happy people. And you just wanted to be around em. Reporter the four became inseparable. They would often get together with a handful of other young couples. They all called themselves the wolfpack. its a big group when we all get together. And our our little our little pups runnin around too. Reporter the wolfpack spent just about every holiday and birthday together. But one couple was always the center of gravity sabrina and rob limon. I would look at rob, and i and i would watch him, you know, with sabrina. And id like, thats the guy that that i need to be like. Like, you know, and all the wives would look at r rob, and and it was hard to compare to him. Yeah, everybodyd be like, why cant you be more like rob . Yeah. Be more like rob. That thats what everybody said. And and, as a guy, youre just like, i i can never be like that. Reporter on august 11, 2014 rob turned 38. He celebrated his birthday with his family and his wolfpack friends. And then just a week later everything went off the rails. Rob was working the day shift at an isolated Railroad Office in tehachapi, about 90 miles from helendale. Sabrina worked part time serving food samples at costco, and the couple often talked or texted during the day. This day was no exception. Call me bear. Im home now. Getting the kids dinner and ready for school. Yay reporter but rob didnt respond. And he didnt call on the way home, as he almost always did. Sabrina texted him again. Babe im worried about you. Call me. Leanna wants to say good night. Reporter that was a little after 8 00 p. M. Rob limon never did call. Instead, this call came in. Tell me exactly what happened. I opened the garage door, and theres a light bulb busted out. Uhhuh. Hes on the ground, bleeding out of his head. Okay. Oh my god. Reporter what had happened . When we return.

If only harry used some. Bounce, to dry. Yeah he would be a less wrinkly, and winning at life. Reporter it didnt take long for bad news to spread in silver lakes. Kelly bernatene got the call in the middle of the night and immediately drove to sabrinas home. She comes to the door, but she was wearing a railroad jacket. And little leanna was wearing a railroad jacket and holding a picture of her dad. And then she said something like, oh, my kelly. And she just, like, reached her arms out and fell on me and cried. And then i looked at her sister and i said, is this is it true . And she said, yeah. And then i just cried. Reporter it was true. Big rob limon, the nicest guy in the world, had been shot to death at work. But i still didnt believe that. Because rob was so strong, and i couldnt believe it. Reporter sabrinas older sister, Julie Cordova, says they were both stunned. She was crying and just pacing and trying to be strong for the kids all at the same time. So i laid with brina that night, and rubbed her head. There was hardly any information at that point. We didnt know what happened. Nightmare. We didnt know what was going on. And it didnt make a lotta sense. Reporter making sense out of robs murder was the job of Kern County Sheriffs detective Randall Meyer. He got the call and headed for the Industrial Complex in tehachapi where rob was working on the last day of his life. A lotta crime in tehachapi . Not typically. Reporter a coworker called 911 after finding robs body and seeing the blood inside the shop. Did you see any breathing . No. I dont see nothing. I think hes dead. It appeared that hed been shot twice. Reporter once to the upper right chest. And again to the left lower chin. Which meant, rob had been facing his killer when he died. Detective meyer inspected the crime scene. One of the computers from the desk was missing. And several drawers were open. And there were files that were strewn about the office. Reporter it looked like a burglary. An odd place for one because it was a railroad warehouse. No cash normally kept here. There were tools and train parts, but not much a thief could easily fence. And whats more burglars usually dont kill people. Only in tv do shootouts happen as the result of somebody interrupting a burglary. Usually the burglar runs out of there as quickly as possible. Yeah, thats correct. Reporter there was Something Else that didnt fit the burglary theory. We did not locate any shell casings on the ground. Meaning he was either shot with a revolver or someone was careful enough to pick up the shell casings afterwards which would suggest what . If thats the case. It would suggest that they had planned and prepared to commit the murder. Reporter robs killer did leave behind a critical piece of evidence, a bullet lodged in robs head. That went to the crime lab, while meyer rethought the case. After looking at the scene, we thought somebody was upset with rob, and was looking for him. Reporter soon there was reason to doubt that theory too, after the detective spoke with robs coworkers. They told me that rob limon was a very kind loving person, a good friend. He was somebody who would help anybody out if they needed help at any point in time. Good guy. Good guy. And everybody said that he never had a problem with anyone at work. Reporter which raised yet another possibility, maybe rob was not the intended target. A check of the schedule revealed rob was covering someone elses shift that day, a coworker named corey hamilton. So if anybody outside that office was looking for corey hamilton, they might have shown up and seen rob limon instead. Yes. Definitely. Reporter meyer interviewed cory, who told him that a couple of nights before rob was killed, cory went to a bar with some friends and got into an argument there. How many times you see an argument at a bar end up with somebody being charged with murder . Just a couple. Not very common. But ive seen a few. Reporter and after questioning the patrons at the bar, meyer decided it was unlikely that the argument led to murder. So far the investigation was not moving quickly. In fact, it was barely moving at all. The Railway Company put out a 100,000 reward for more information. And detective meyers phone started blowing up with tips, each of which had to be checked out. Meanwhile, friends were trying to make sense of it all. Was it possible that he could have gotten into something involved with somebody that he shouldnt have been involved with . You worry that you never really know anyone. So that was definitely a worry of ours, it crossed our minds. Reporter of course, they didnt want to believe that about their friend rob. They just wanted answers. Weve actually asked the homicide detective multiple times like, have you found anything . Another girlfriend, and they havent found anything. He was who he seemed . He worked hard. He was in tehachapi that day working for his family. Reporter in those first few days meyer questioned Sabrina Limon about the couples marriage. She said what everyone else seemed to know, rob was a good husband and a terrific dad. He was as wellliked in his personal life as he was at work. And their marriage was great. She said that everybody loved rob. Reporter and that seemed to be whole, puzzling story. But then there was this. A Security Camera captured someone entering the complex, limping across, carrying a bag. And then later, look closely at the upper edge of the screen. That same person exiting the scene. Who was this man . And did he kill rob limon . Reporter coming up. A suspect on foot. Caught again on wheels . When you look at the motorcycle and the rider, are you thinking, theres our killer . It was something we needed to definitely look into. Reporter when dateline continues. He. Soundly all night wishing you love, sleep and play pampers never ending pasta bowl is starting at 9. 99. Den.

Rob and Sabrina Limon should have been celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary. Instead, sabrina was preparing for her husbands memorial service. Robs coworkers, friends and family packed the church. His son stood up and spoke wearing my brothers hat. And just sobbing and sobbing of how much he loved his dad. And he missed his dad. Reporter sabrinas best friend, kelly, spoke on her behalf. I also read a letter that sabrina had written him, like, in 2009 that i found in a scrapbook. I wanted to read it to all of you. I figured if she if she didnt have the strength to talk, that i would try to speak for her in some way. So i read that. You have worked so very hard, above and beyond what most men do. Reporter sabrina sat in the front row next to her two children. All the friends rallied around sabrina and the kids and did everything they could to support her. You know, people donated money, people, you know, made sure there was food there every day. Everyone wanted to make sure she was taken care of. Reporter meanwhile, Kern County Sheriffs detectives were busy tracking down leads. The biggest so far, security video showing a man limping into the complex, and then later leaving the crime scene. Finding him wouldnt be easy. And then someone called the tip line. They knew of a subject who was younger, who walked with a limp. And they provided the the subjects name. Reporter his name was joshua wehust. He lived near the complex and would often walk thru it to get to and from his home. That was interesting to detectives. So were the shoe prints found in the vicinity of the crime scene. This guy have a criminal record . A small criminal record mostly public intoxication type cases and that type of stuff. Reporter and mr. Wehust owned several guns. So you bring him in. We did. We had our Surveillance Team pick him up and bring him into the tehachapi substation so i could speak to him. Reporter they checked his shoes and those matched the shoe prints at the scene. So, the prime suspect no. He had a solid alibi. He said he was with his parents. And we were able to speak to the parents. And said that he was with them at the residence at the time the murder was occurred. Reporter so joshua wehust was cleared. And then came another tip. Detectives received a call from a local gunsmith. Hed said that he received a firearm revolver from a gentleman who was having issues with the firearm. And asked the gunsmith to change out the firing pin. Reporter im no gun expert. But how often do people change out the firing pins in their guns . Not very often. Reporter police can sometimes use the mark a firing pin makes on a shell casing to later match that casing to a particular gun. So changing a firing pin could very well be an attempt to throw them off track. It was very suspicious. And the subject also owned a business within that same complex. So i immediately went up to tehachapi, seized the firearm, and sent it to our local lab here in kern county. Reporter a firearms analyst compared bullets from that gun to one of the bullets recovered at the scene. And the results were negative. It was not the gun that was used to kill rob limon. Reporter disappointing . It was disappointing at first. Back to the grind reporter detectives exhausted lead after lead. Nothing was panning out. They did find more Security Cameras at a business down the street. The cameras captured vehicles coming and going from the Industrial Complex on goodrick drive. Including this work truck which detectives believed had to be rob returning from a call. They made freeze frames of the vehicles. We spoke to all the business owners. I went door to door showing them a packet that i had created of all the the vehicles that had traveled east and west. Reporter and everybody identifies either their car or somebody elses car. And they all should have be
