when police interviewed david nixon's live-in girlfriend, tracey frame, she claimed david was headed to las vegas on the night he disappeared. tracey also revealed she didn't have an alibi for the night david was murdered. she said she was at home alone. >> we, as a family, didn't really know much of anything. he didn't bring her up. i never spoke to her on the phone. she was a mystery to all of us really. >> a background check revealed the two had an interesting past. the couple met at a lake party shortly after david's second wife left him. tracey was a successful accountant with no children. shortly after they got together, david bought two matching cars, a black lexus for tracey, a white one for him. and because he owed back taxes
>> if david's body had actually gone all the way down into that 8-foot drain pipe, he might have never been found. >> friends and family were shocked by his murder. >> it's such a cruel way to die. to light someone on fire? >> there was no blood or any sign of a struggle, which meant david had likely been killed elsewhere. >> but it was clear that where the body was found was not the primary scene, that this was a dumping site and that the body had been set on fire to destroy potential evidence. >> and david's body had been wrapped in a blanket, a possible clue to the murder site. >> there was a group of filamentous wires, meaning very fine wires, from the charred remnants of the blanket. your typical blanket does not include metal fibers, unless
it's a heat-generating blanket, such as an electric blanket. >> a fractured rib alerted the medical examiner to a bullet pathway that led from david's left side through his heart. cause of death was a single gunshot. >> it was a small-caliber handgun. they couldn't determine, you know, what caliber, because we never found the bullet. >> to investigators, it seemed strange that david's ex-wife reported him missing just three hours before his body was found. and police soon learned she had a possible motive, a $500,000 motive. but... chocolate is my other favorite... oh yeah, and frosted! what's your most favorite of all? hmm...the kind i have with you. me too.
an insurance policy, and the first thing police were going to do, under those circumstances, was take a long, hard look at her. >> but donna was cooperating fully with the investigation and was an unlikely killer. she also had an alibi for thursday night and friday morning, the estimated time of death. >> as the investigation went along, it was clear that the evidence did not point in the direction of donna. >> david's second ex-wife also had an alibi for the time of david's murder, an alibi confirmed by numerous witnesses. next, investigators questioned david's current girlfriend, 32-year-old tracey frame. tracey said she last saw david on thursday, and she assumed he was headed to las vegas where he liked to gamble. >> you didn't hear from him any thursday night? >> no, sir. >> did you talk to him friday? >> no. >> nothing saturday? >> no.
undamaged tissue to estimate when david was shot. >> i was able to estimate that, at room temperature, the body was probably deceased for 36 to 48 hours prior to the body being discovered. >> since david's body was discovered sunday night past midnight, he was probably killed either late thursday night or early friday morning. david's murder bore striking similarities to another unsolved murder that occurred just four months earlier. >> it literally happened across the street. >> the victim, a 22-year-old prostitute named janet dolan, was killed with a single gunshot before her body was transported, doused with gasoline and set on fire. >> it would appear to be more like an execution or message-style murder when you have somebody shot and wrapped up and burned. >> but while the similarities
investigators' attention. >> one of the first things investigators notice is that the seat is pushed up toward the steering wheel, which would indicate that a much smaller person had been in it last and not a big man like david nixon. >> investigators hope the store's security cameras might shed some light on who left david's car in the lot. i've helped many people in the last 23 years. but i needed help in quitting smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and
and strap him to it. then it's just a matter of pulling the hand truck around. >> investigators believe tracey knew david was planning to leave her, and she wanted to keep the house that was still in her name. late thursday night, as he slept, she shot him with an unregistered handgun friends said he kept in the house. she wrapped the body in blankets from the bed. the next day, friday, she drove david's car to the rental agency where she rented a moving van. she waited until nightfall and used a hand truck to get david's body into the van. then, she drove 14 miles to the isolated parking lot, where she tried to dispose of the body in a large drain, but it was too big.
and because he owed back taxes to the irs, david decided to place his house in tracey's name, a decision he came to regret. >> david wanted to regain control of the house, and tracey wanted to make sure that she kept the house in her name. >> but there was one seemingly insurmountable hurdle to her being a suspect. >> in looking at her, investigators had to decide how she could have moved the body. after all, although she was a trim and strong young woman, she was almost half the weight of david, and moving him would have been no easy task. >> then tracey's neighbors told police they saw a large rental truck parked at their house during the weekend david went missing. >> are you aware of a moving van be being at your house? >> i mean, he -- a moving van? >> like a u-haul, ryder? >> yeah. we were getting a truck to move
