responded to that call. >> phil, i want to dissect all this information a little bit more in detail here. four days later, after the murders. are you surprised that this guy was found less than 20 miles away from where the murders happened? >> no, let's go through a simple time line. this is a crime of passion, ana. what that tells me is that the individual who did this crime didn't think in advance of an escape route. if you don't think of an escape route, you can't really use a car because obviously somebody's going to recognize the license plate. you can't get cash from an atm. you can't use a credit card, you can't show up at a convenience store. if you don't plan your route in advance your options are going to be limited to local and to people you know or to family members. that obviously gives a big opportunity for investigators who are going to go through, if you will, a phone tree of connections and family members, start spreading out to determine where the individual might have fled in the immediate aftermath. without planning this, ana, there's no way or very little

who said he saw a young ma with longer hair, darker skin, perhaps hispanic or native american, walking near the bac parking lot. >> he may not have, been maybe just something passing by? >> sure, while we were there within the first hour of being at the crime scene, upwards of 50 people walked by. i mean, this is a pretty bus area of town >> busy, yes and filled with cctv cameras banks, ridges, city hall walking trails along the river that runs through town detectives painstakingly wen through the footage. >> there was nothing >> they took dna from dozens o motel guests to check agains the sample taken from amyjane' fingernails. it wasn't that either. >> so, detective jackson wen to the people who knew amyjane well, or perhaps, or magically those stab wounds were all focused around her heart, whic often indicates some kind of crime of passion

other, they were apparently riding back in a car together. your thoughts on these developments. >> well, exactly right, and you are exactly right. when you first heard it, you thought at the moment it's a random act of violence, and certainly it's not. one of the first clues it was not a random act of violence is the method of the killing. it was knife wounds that led to bob lee's death, and immediately law enforcement starts to look at, if a knife is used as opposed to other weapons, they say it might be a crime of passion, not necessarily a random act. the first clue. and the second clue, we know bob lee had consciousness at some point prior to his death and he was taken to the hospital, he tried to flag cars along the way, so he may be able to actually identify momeni that he was the assailant. he's still an alleged killer. don't know if he will plead or get convicted.
problem for a girl. as a teenager she was too tall, too awkward. she struggled. and to make it worse, her parents marriage fell apart. >> that's when angie we went and made friends with whoever accepted her. >> among angie keith morrison's new friends was jessica martinez. >> back then carol worried a lot about those friends. didn't know that they, like angie, had big plans. >> she wanted to go to college and be the best person she could be. >> then suddenly, in this little apartment, her life was over. and carol stricken and dazed endured a murder investigation. >> we clearly thought that there was some sort of relationship there, it was a crime of passion. >> her other friends seem to

be painted as a bad guy right away because of his sorted past. so he promised to cooperate in every way possible, and the cops took him up on it. >> i allowed them to photograph me. removed my clothing. i allowed them to go to my home. take anything they wanted. >> there was nothing about his clothing, his car, his person that led to us believe that he was involved in any other way than he said he was. he came over to see her, found her and was devastated. >> tim permenter's alibi checked out. police dismissed any clues pointing to a home invasion. after all, karen had been stabbed 16 times, an attack so ferocious, it could only be a crime of passion. now the detectives were desperate to figure out what their biggest, clue of all meant, those three letters written in blood. roc. this is a creepy scene. i mean, you got this scrawled in blood message saying this is my killer. i'm now dead, you find this guy.
chris was arrested, he seemed nervous, and now he was gone. and so they wondered, was david novak running from something? the locked friends began reexamining those stories david told him over the years, particularly those about his criminal past. >> i started comparing notes and stories, and it becomes clear. wow, david told me a different version of that. >> he's been lying, to put it rather bluntly? >> certainly not full truths. >> the brief prison term for mail fraud, turned out there is more to that story. a lot more. novak confessed to a con played out like a cinematic thriller. he used a private flying club he owned to run an insurance scam. then, as it caught up to him, he attempted to escape by faking his own death. ditched his airplane in puget sound. >> the fact is dead death in order to avoid insurance audit. that was not a crime of passion,
