Back at the scene, investigators followed a trail of blood droplets to a parking lot area between the woods and Lowe's, where they believed the attack had occurred. They began canvassing the area, [music] looking for anyone who might know the victim or know where he had been before he was found.

Um I mean, he does drugs and he rips people off. I don't know. >> Who who is he? >> John. I don't know if he like ripped the wrong person off, but it's kind of late. Who's the third person? >> At the police station, investigators interviewed Lisa Parr and her boyfriend Mike McEntyre. Jeremy's father was also interviewed, but his information did not provide detectives with a lead. According to Lisa, and corroborated in part by McEntyre, they, along with Jeremy, had driven to Jupiter earlier that afternoon to buy drugs from a dealer named Keith. They used a counterfeit $100 bill, and when discovered it was fake, investigators initially considered him a possible suspect. But Lisa believed the dispute had been resolved. She told detectives that Jeremy later made additional trips to Jupiter to buy more drugs. Then, during Lisa's interview, she received a text from an unknown number. It startled her, and she showed it to detectives. It said, "You need to have them people ish. They not playing. All y'all going die if you don't got it." With Lisa's permission, investigators responded to the number. The person on the other end claimed that Jeremy had only hours to come up with the money. The threatening messages gave investigators a phone number to trace. It linked to a TextNow account associated with an email under the name Rob Magnuson. But the connection to Magnuson became stronger when detectives followed up on something Lisa and McEntyre had told them. McEntyre asked Lisa what she remembered about a car she'd seen in the Lowe's parking lot while meeting someone for a pickup. She remembered it was dark. Lisa couldn't identify the man she saw. She could only recall a white male leaning into it. But when McEntyre heard that description, he immediately made the connection. If the car was black, Rob Magnuson had a black car. Detectives already knew Magnuson had been driving a black rental after wrecking his own vehicle the day before. Earlier that morning, an officer had encountered Magnuson sitting in the same rental at a Wells Fargo. Magnuson told the officer he was trying to withdraw $500 and had been searching the vehicle because he had lost something inside. Now, Magnuson was a suspect. The next morning, Magnuson's girlfriend and the mother of his child contacted a detective. She told the detective that Magnuson said he had gotten into it with Jeremy and had attempted to stab him. Earlier that day, Jeremy had entered Robert's car. After Jeremy left the car, he realized an envelope containing $500 was missing and believed Jeremy had taken it. When Magnuson got home, he appeared disheveled and erratic. The girlfriend said he was still searching for the missing $500. She watched as he tore through the rental car looking for the envelope. She also described what she believed was a speck of blood on one of his sneakers. Investigators then arranged two controlled phone calls between Magnuson and his girlfriend. During those calls, Magnuson said, "I didn't mean to do this." He also said, "My intention was just to get the money back. I just wanted my money back cuz we need that to live on." Later that day, police located Magnuson near Jensen Beach Boulevard driving the same black Ford Focus rental. >> ROBERT, STOP NOW. STAND UP. FACE AWAY FROM ME. STEP BACKWARDS. Step backwards now. Keep walking. Keep walking. Keep walking. >> All right. >> Stop. >> Okay. >> Zico, watch the car. I got the car. >> All right. Ready. >> Car's clear. Stewart, we're 10-15. You can clear. 10-4. Stewart, he's starting a 10-70. Hey, Zeke, when you're when you I can swap out the cuffs. I'll I'll go back there. Daniel, you take him back. I'll I'll hang out here. I'm going to move it out of the way. Gosh, it should have been here. This was in his hand. He dropped it as he stepped out. There's a pill in there I just put back in. >> 39-year-old Robert Michael Magnuson was taken into custody and brought to the Stuart Police Department. The $500 he claimed was missing was never found. Investigators had now identified the man they believed was responsible for Jeremy Uber's death. >> Robert. I'm going Time to go to the jail, okay? Take this stand up for a second. I'm going to take this off of you, okay? Here, step out here. Move your foot out. >> We got to wait. We got to take pictures of him before we put him in handcuffs. >> All right, Robert, put your hands behind your >> What time is it? >> 9:30? Yep. We're going to go over to the jail. So the car we have in our evidence right now at the police department. So everything that was in it is still in it. And that includes your phone now that I think about it. Your phone is in the is in your car still. I said everything that was in the car is still in the car and that includes your phone cuz like I said I was the one that actually stopped you up there. And I I waited there with cops until they came and got it but everything that was in the car is still in the car. So you'll have to talk to the detectives about getting your property back cuz I know they're going to be doing some search warrants and things on it. Oh, I'm sure you will. I mean you can always call them from the from the jail and tell them you want to talk to them. They they'll come over. Yeah, the morning. You do have a bond. It's $750,000. So yeah, you'll you'll go to court in the morning and see the judge. Yeah, your charge is second-degree murder with a deadly weapon. I that I don't know. That's definitely a question for the jailers. No, like I said everything that was in the car to be honest to be honest with you. Um I looked in the car but nothing was taken out. So wherever everything was is where it is again when you get it back. Or after we search through it, it it'll all be gathered up. But where where where you left it, it still is. >> Okay. Well, how will I I'll be here, obviously, for you know, who knows how long. How will I get the money that I earned? >> You'll have to talk to the detectives, okay? >> Okay. >> The case of State of Florida versus Robert Magnuson went to trial in November 2022, with opening statements beginning on November 2nd. After 3 days of trial, the jury found Magnuson guilty of manslaughter with a weapon and tampering with physical evidence. As a habitual felony offender, Magnuson was sentenced to life in prison. Magnuson [music] appealed. The appellate court upheld the manslaughter conviction, the habitual felony offender designation, and the life sentence. But it reversed the tampering conviction, finding the evidence insufficient [music] to prove that offense. For Jeremy Huber, however, there was no appeal, no second chance, no verdict that could undo what happened. His life ended on a roadside in Stuart, [music] and the consequences of that night would follow everyone involved long after the final gavel fell. >> [music] [music]
