Step out of the car, ma'am. Move over here. Hands up, please. >> Why are you doing this? >> Let me ask you this. What did you do to that girl? >> Police here. >> Anyone's up there, come down with your hands up now. >> I think there's blood on this wall. Yeah, this looks like dried blood. >> These cops just found the blood stains of a missing girl. Samantha Guthrie left her mother's house the previous day, never to be seen again. And her blood was just discovered on the walls of this abandoned house. But the police are about to realize that this is a couple's murder house, and the killers have already fled across town hunting for their next victim. Why don't you explain what's going on? >> Just really chase. >> With no idea who the next victim of the killer couple could be, and with time running out, detectives find themselves entangled in a web of multiple suspects, all tied to the abandoned murder house. >> You're looking at some serious problems. >> I got nothing to say, y'all. I'm my attorney present. Nobody else standing here. I got nothing to say. >> Help us. This is serious. She was deserving to show like this. [Music] >> Everything started in November 2018 when a mother called police worried that her daughter had vanished without a trace. It had already been more than a day since anyone had seen 18-year-old Samantha Guthrie, and the cops arrived quickly to take her mother Joany's statement. >> Hello. What's going on? I need to file a missing person. >> Okay. Four. >> My daughter. >> Okay. How old your daughter? >> She's 18. >> Okay. So, what makes her missing? >> We can't find her. We got a call yesterday saying she was shot in the head, thrown in the trunk of a car and they took off. The police were called yesterday. They search they went over to the house that it supposedly happened at. They checked. They said they didn't see anything. >> Right. Okay. And where was this supposed to be at? I'm Lillian. >> Lillian? Where's Lillian at? I've never heard of it. >> Little did this cop know, he'd become extremely familiar with Lillian Street as it would become the site of hours and hours of investigation and one of the most disturbing crimes to come out of the city in years. But for now, it sounds as though Samantha was murdered or at the very least kidnapped. But nobody can be sure. All this information came over a mysterious phone call from someone they didn't even know. >> What's the address again? >> 375 Lillian. >> Why would she be over there? >> Because she's in getting into bad stuff. >> Okay. >> 18 she left. >> What? When was that? >> So that's the house right there. >> I don't know what the house looks like. I didn't go there. It turns out the house that Joanie is talking about was due to be boarded up in just a few days. It's in a rough area of town and has been abandoned for months. And as Joanie said, Samantha had been struggling heavily. She left home as soon as she turned 18 and instantly fell in with a bad crowd. She was often seen frequenting abandoned houses known to be used by drug abusers and criminals. And she was slowly getting more distant from her family. >> Yeah. Lillian address is vacant. >> I know. and they they the officers had it boarded up. So, we didn't see any no blood, no nothing. To be honest with you, I think somebody plenty of prank on you. After this, Joanie would give over a description of Samantha, including a distinctive butterfly tattoo on her right arm before telling the cop one more crucial piece of information. >> You want the name of the person she was last with, the supposed person that shot her? >> Okay, sure. >> Danny Hamby. >> Who? Danny Hamby. >> This wasn't a familiar name to police. And the officer still wouldn't seem to be too worried by the situation. But that would soon come to change cuz the very same evening after publishing a missing person's report of Samantha, a lone man would come to police claiming he knew exactly what happened to her and would lead police to launch a monthslong investigation into multiple people all connected to the abandoned murder house. Back in Akran, police had just published a detailed description of Samantha. And the morning after, a very worried man would contact and claim to have details that could either save her life or lead them to her body. >> All right, today is Tuesday and we're here with what's your first name? >> John Marshall. >> All right, so we're here to talk about something that happened over on uh Lilian Street back in November 4th. >> Mhm. >> All right. Why don't you tell me about uh about what happened that night? John Marshall was the first of many witnesses in this case and he got in contact with the cops after hearing that they were looking for Samantha. Apparently, he was actually at the house on the night everything happened and saw it all with his own two eyes. The problem is it almost sounds too good to be true. The cops don't know Marshall and can't necessarily trust him to give a truthful statement, meaning they'll have to verify all evidence he gives over. So, as Marshall talks to the cops, we'll be keeping track of each piece of information and then following how the cops investigate and verify it all in order to hopefully solve the case and find Samantha. >> Uh Sam had been trying to get a ride over to the house for a few hours. I didn't feel like driving anymore to go pick her up, so I didn't pick her up that night. And few hours later, she showed up from an Uber, I'm guessing, that her dad had. >> All right. I know when you when you say the house that that what's the address? >> 75 million. >> Okay. >> I'm guessing uh from what I've been told her dad paid for an Uber for her to get over there. >> Okay. >> This is already an easy piece of information to verify. If Samantha's dad did pay for the Uber, then he'd certainly remember that and be able to confirm it. And conveniently, the cops had interviewed her dad a few hours later, and he did indeed tell him that he bought her an Uber that night. On top of that, the address Marshall gave was also correct. So, it seems that he's turning out to be trustworthy so far. >> But I was walking to the Circle K on Cab and Roads to get cigarettes and a soda when I seen her and Yoshi walking to the house on Lillian. And about a half hour after I got back to the house in half hour, 45 minutes or so, Danny showed up and knocked on the back door. I answered the door. >> Now, how do you know Danny? >> Uh, just in passing. >> Do you know him from the house? >> Yeah. And you know what his last name is? >> Andy. >> Now things are starting to get weird. That's the name that Joanie said could be the killer. And Marshall seems to know him and the people he's friends with. >> Okay. Was he by himself? >> No, he was with uh Tony. >> Okay. >> Is what I was told her name was. And that uh one black guy that I have never seen before. >> Okay. Do you know what he looks like? >> Yeah. Uh, I think what's his name? Marcus. Something with an M. I want to say or >> what's he look like? William. Okay. William. All right. What's he look like? >> Uh, tall. About 62, 63, 225, medium build. Okay. >> Dark skin. >> So, they they came up to the back door. >> Yeah. >> All right. And they knocked on the door. >> Yeah. >> And who let him in? >> I did. >> Okay. So, you let him in. And then what happened? >> They went upstairs and talked to Jod. Upstairs in Jod's room was Jodie, Kim, Kate, Sam, then Danny, and Tony, and William stayed downstairs. >> This is incredibly useful information that Marshall is passing over. He's just given the names of six potential witnesses and suspects, and he seems to know them all personally. If this is all true, then Marshall could have just taken this case from no leads at all to almost too much to handle. The only thing the cops need now is verifiable information about exactly what happened to Samantha. That's when the detective asks this question and gets much more than he bargained for. >> All right, so everyone So Sam and all them were upstairs. >> Yes. >> So what happens next? >> Um I didn't hear any yelling or anything, but music was playing >> and Sam came downstairs looking kind of distraught and she looked at me. I'm like, "Then go out the back door. Go out the back door if you," you know, she kind of looked like she was panicking, so I'm like, "Leave." >> She went to the basement and 2 or 3 minutes later. I heard a little bit of a commotion and then Sam came upstairs first and she had like a little bit of a bloody nose. >> Okay. >> Or a busted lip. I couldn't tell. And she went back upstairs to Jod's room. Danny and Tony followed. >> Followed her or chased her? >> No, followed. They just kind of, you know, followed and 5 maybe 10 minutes later, Sam came running down the stairs. Danny was right behind her and by the time she got to the fourth or fifth stair down from the living room floor, he shot her in the back of the head. >> It doesn't get much clearer than that. Apparently, Samantha then fell to the ground and the house fell into disarray. Two men named Yoshi and William then started to order Marshall and his friends around before helping to carry Samantha's body to a vehicle outside. The detective was starting to get a perfect picture of what this case really was. But there was still one burning question. >> Okay. Is Sam alive? >> It sounded she was making noises, but in my past experiences, it sounded more like a death gargle. Your body's shutting down sleep. >> Okay. So, she's still kind of breathing at this point. Yeah, but she got shot back in the head by 8 to 10 in away with a Smith and Wesson MP40. >> Okay. >> From the sounds of it, Samantha technically survived the shot, but it wasn't looking good. If she wasn't taken to a hospital quickly, she likely wouldn't have made it, but it doesn't seem like the killers were expecting her to live. At least the cops now have a possible murder weapon, a Smith and Wesson MP40. Remember though, the cops have already searched the house and didn't find any evidence of a murder. But given the importance of this information, they decide to go back and see if they missed anything. At this point, Samantha's life hangs in the balance. If they find a single bullet casing or blood splatter, it likely means that Marshall was telling the truth and Samantha is long dead. [Applause] Just pulled up. >> Police are here. Make yourself known. These are the steps that Samantha was allegedly shot on. But the cops can't stop to investigate yet. Knowing how hot this house is and how many places there are for people to hide, they have to be on high alert and clear the entire place out before they can even think about letting their guard down. All three officers have their guns drawn and are doing their best to stick together should anybody be inside. >> Barber Avenue [Applause] clear. Checker, please. Black parking lot. By the looks of it, dad came here. All right, it seems like the house is empty, but it's a complete mess. There's no obvious evidence of a murder anywhere, so it's now clear why the cops didn't find anything their first time here. However, Marshall had told them two very important things. Exactly where the shot was allegedly taken, and more importantly, that William and Yoshi had actually come back to clean up the scene. That means that any signs of the murder could be extremely difficult to find, but not impossible. In fact, you've actually already seen some evidence that proves Marshall's story to be 100% true. Take another look at the marking on this wall right below the crack. It's a little difficult to see, but that isn't graffiti. That's Samantha Guthri's blood. Once the cops spotted this, it all fell into place. Multiple blood spatters that hadn't been cleaned up were found on the walls, as well as the bullet casings that looked similar to the bullets that the Smith and Wesson MP40 uses. Marshall was telling the truth. Danny and Tony were now wanted for murder, and they had four other witnesses they could use to track them down and convict them. And in fact, they wouldn't have to wait long, as police were soon called to a house where a girl claimed a couple had chased her with a gun. [Music] All right. How you doing today, sir? What's going on? Um, this young lady in my back door and what's going on? >> You want to step outside and talk? >> Who's they? Huh? >> Do you need EMS for anything? >> This is Kimberly. One of the girls that Marshall mentioned was at the house the day Samantha was shot. The owners of this home called the cops after she begged them to let her inside as she was being chased allegedly by some others that frequent the house on Lillian Street. The cops are desperate to know what could have possibly made her this distressed. So, they bring her outside to their cruiser to talk. You're >> safe now. Okay. Why don't you explain what's going on? >> Who's they? What do they look like? >> Black guy, white guy. >> Black short. >> What was he wearing? black pants and a black short sleeve hoodie thing that like had had a hood but like drawstrings right here but it wasn't like a hoodie hoodie. >> Just one black guy. >> I think they were with bunch of white guys. I think >> a black and white guy. >> There was a black guy and three white guys. >> Oh friend. Whatever happened to Kimberly was clearly a blur to her, but the cops are starting to get a little concerned. Barely a couple days after Samantha's supposed death, one of the witnesses gets chased by a group of people holding guns. It could just be coincidence, albeit a terrifying one. So, the cops ask her why she was in town to see if this could be related to anything else. And they get the most worrying answer possible. >> So, you were you're from the falls. You were visiting a friend here in a where's that friend at now? And where do you know where they live? No idea where they are. >> I'm gonna run her name. What's What's the friend's name that you're >> What's her last name? >> Harrison. >> Jodie Harrison. Do you know what street she lives on? >> That's a guy. >> What's that? >> Sky. >> Okay. What street do you live on? >> Onion. >> On. What is it? >> Lillian. >> The only reason Kim was in town was to meet her friend Jodie on Lillian Street. And she doesn't know anyone else from around here. That's when the cops come to a horrifying realization. They think Kim was just attacked because she was a witness to Samantha's supposed murder. And now they have a terrifying situation on their hands. If they don't track down the killers and all their accompllices quickly, they could be looking at a lot more than just one murder. This case had now become a top priority and all local officers and detectives were on high alert for any leads that could help them find even just one of the suspects. And that's when they got a potentially life-saving call. A man was claiming that Danny and Tony had pulled a gun on him inside the house and that the suspects were now in the parking lot outside bragging about killing somebody just days earlier. Cops immediately headed to the scene, thinking this might be their chance to catch the lead suspects behind Samantha's disappearance. >> Step out of the car. Step out of the car, ma'am. Move over here. Step out of the car. Hands up, please. Hands up, please. What is that? >> Okay. Put all that stuff down. Put it down. >> Why? Why are you doing this? >> Put it down. Hands on top of your head. >> Why are you doing this? >> Stay Stay right there. >> Turn around. Turn around. >> Nope. Stay. Stay right there. I'm I'm tend to you for now. Okay. I'll explain to you what's going on in a second. Do you have any any sharp on you? >> No. >> Any any weapons or anything? >> Don't reach for nothing. >> Do you have any any weapons on you? >> Have a seat. Stand up. >> Stand up for me. >> What are you doing with your foot, man? >> I got >> blisters. >> Blisters and [ __ ] It's called uh jungle. >> There's another one right here. >> Where? Don't reach. >> Yeah. Fit pocket. Fit pocket right here. >> Okay. There's a knife right here. So, I'll take care of it. I just want to make sure I got a bag of needles in my pocket. A bag of needles, sir. >> Yes, sir. >> So far, this has been surprisingly easy. At this point, the officer had no idea it would actually be the interrogations that'd be the hardest part of this process, but he's enjoying the simplicity while it lasts. Soon, a couple more officers arrive on the scene to help search Danny and Tori, secure them, and collect some information before they're taken away for questioning. I haven't been upstairs to talk to whoever lives here yet. Okay. Uh when I pulled up, he was in the driver's seat. She was digging in the trunk. She saw me because she did something and she closed it real fast. I just did a quick pack on him and make sure they have any guns on him. But if you guys could try to get a hold of him, figure out what the hell is going on here. Okay. >> You don't have anything on you. It's going to pop me. Anything like that, right? No weapons we need to be aware of. If you do, tell me now. I actually had my gun. I only I only had it because >> Where is it at? >> Loaded. >> I only had it. >> Right here on the side. >> I never >> I don't want to set it off. >> I don't want I know. I just >> I never used it before. I just My mom made sure I took it with me to >> She had a gun and hit her wall. I haven't yet. >> What's your you got gone? >> I had two knives. >> Two knives. >> What's your name? >> Danny. >> Is it okay if I check your pockets here real quick? >> Yeah. We're not trying to give you one hard time. We got a call that people with guns and warrants and things like that. >> Warrants. >> No. Hell no. Oh lord. >> What is it? >> Math. M. There you go. Good. >> Eventually, the officers brought Danny and Tony back to the station for interrogation. And this is where the hard part started for the detectives. >> Detective Ross. >> How you doing? >> So, I got you with a gun. Okay. You okay? >> How about my turn? Okay. Can I read it to you then anyway? >> Yeah. >> For the record, you remain silent. You understand this right >> here? It's important to note that Danny thinks he's been brought in just because of the gun incident. At this point, he is unaware that police have him and Tony as lead suspects for Samantha's disappearance. Detectives are doing this to potentially lead him into a fake story or timeline that they can prove wrong later. >> You've indicated that you want to talk to your lawyer, >> correct? >> I don't know what it's about, but still on my attorney. I know that I got to do this. >> All right. I don't know what to do about your >> 911 numbers. Give me my attorney. >> All right. Uh, man, I don't know what we can do about your freezing, but maybe get you out of here as soon as we can. How's that? While you're here, can we can we cover at least cover something? >> You can talk. I ain't going to say nothing. >> Uh, you get a some swabs for me? >> Like I said, you can talk. I ain't going to say nothing. >> All right. I'm going tell you like this, man. I got 11 numbers, 23 years in system. I ain't got nothing to say to y'all. I'm my attorney present. Nobody else said here. I got nothing to say. >> Danny's been in this situation before and he knows exactly what to do. At the very least, stall the detectives process for as long as possible. He's staying quiet and refusing to speak without an attorney present, as is his right. So, the detectives have no other choice but to switch over to Tony and see if she will budge instead. [Music] >> Lieutenant, this is Detective Ross. Hi. Um, >> look, I didn't know anything else, but I never had a weapon before in my life. My mom gave it to me cuz she still working here. So, >> we're going to read your Miranda rights. Okay. >> They already did that. >> Okay. Good. Okay. You understand him and everything? Okay. There's a girl that's missing and we have strong reason to believe he's involved in her disappearance. >> He didn't do that. >> So, >> he couldn't do that. >> How? Why? Why couldn't he do it? cuz he's not that type of person. >> Okay. But we, like I said, we have a lot of information pointing to his involvement in this girl's disappearance. So, what I want from you to know if you've ever seen this girl before and think hard before you answer, you want to know if you've seen her, okay? And you've never seen her before. That's true. >> They're deciding to be a lot more upfront with Tony and treat her not as a suspect, but more of a witness. It's likely she wouldn't confess to being involved in the murder, but they think there could be a chance that she'd turn Dany in if she thought it meant she'd get away. Unfortunately though, having been on the wrong side of the law in the past herself, she's not about to help the cops out so easily. >> I'm going to be straight with you. He's he's looking at some serious serious problems. And from what you're telling me, if you were with him that whole time, the past 3 days, which she went disappeared in the last 3 days. So if you were with him the whole time, you know what my next leap is? >> Well, that's ridiculous because he was with me. We were in warrant. >> Think real hard because this is very important to what happens with you in the future. Okay. >> No, I get that. I'm I'm not that stupid. >> Okay, hang on. Hear me out. So, this is not a misdemeanor crime we're investigating. We don't do that. Okay. When we get involved, something bad has happened. We know some other stuff went on this weekend, specifically yesterday, Saturday night at a house in Akran. So, I don't want you to get in any trouble with something that you were just along for the ride. But if you're going to sit here and tell us with you the whole time, you think you're helping him, but you're not. You're hurting yourself. Let me tell you about the house where it happened at. We've talked to people that's been at the house. They were all at this house where this girl disappeared from. In fact, something bad happened to her at the house. You know why we know that? Cuz the the guys, we've already talked to him all day. We spent all day talking to him. And he gave us detailed accounts of what happened at that house. You have to think hard about how you want to handle this because if you're going to sit here and vouch for him, that can get you caught. That can get you in trouble. You have uh you have kids? >> Yes. You mentioned two kids. >> Two boys. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um what would you do if one of those boys went missing? >> Everything I could to find them. >> Okay. Would you expect people to help us to find him? To locate him? >> Yes. >> The route the detective is taking is obvious and would work on the majority of people. He's trying to scare Tony into giving up what she knows so they can get to the bottom of things faster. If she gives Dany up, she might get a good deal with them. But if not, things could end up real badly for her. The most interesting dynamic here, though, is how the detective is trying to use Marshall's earlier statement against her. This happens all the time, but usually they're exaggerating the strength of the evidence or making it up completely. This time though, they actually have an airtight statement. But Tony simply doesn't believe them. That means she thinks she can just continue to deny everything. And instead of taking a deal for less jail time, she can just get away with no charges. So, with this in mind, watch how confidently she denies everything, unaware that the detectives know. Every word she speaks is a lie. >> So, this girl's family has been out looking for her all day, okay? But unfortunately, we already know what happened to her. So, from here on out, anything that we from based on what you're telling us, I mean, we're giving you this chance to talk to us now. Anything that in relation to her, what happened to this girl is going to be attached to you, too. Okay? Because we're giving you a chance. But if you want to cover for him, that's fine. I don't care. It don't matter. It don't matter to me. >> We're going to move on investigation that this happened to that girl. I don't >> We have reason to believe you were there. >> I was there. >> I don't kick it in a like that. I just started to come to a hired. We're not saying that you it was a every weekend thing, but we're saying that we have reason to believe based on what we've been doing all day you were there. >> No, sorry. I've never seen that girl in my life. >> And we have people that says that have told us you were there. Oh, that's ridiculous cuz I don't know anybody really from >> you know actually in addition to the people that we talked to >> said that this all started cuz you and this girl got into some kind of altercation. >> I don't know this girl. I've never seen this girl. >> Okay. Like I said, once we move forward in this investigation, from what you're telling us, since you're with him, you're going to be attached to whatever we do with him. Do you you understand that, right? >> Yeah. I'm his girlfriend. >> Okay. Just so we got that clear. >> I've never seen that girlfriend. >> Who's that? >> I don't know who that is either. >> You hardly even looked at him. >> I've looked at him. I don't know who that is. >> Well, I got to know him. So did Detective Ross. We got to know him a lot today. We spent the entire day with him. >> And what's his name? >> And uh well, that's not important. You don't know him, so what difference does it make? >> In reality, Tony is extremely familiar with the man in the photo, as he's the man that helped load Samantha into her car. That man is Yoshi. Conveniently, Yoshi, whose real name is Dylan, had just been brought in on unrelated warrants, and detectives couldn't believe their luck. One of the main witnesses, possibly even an accomplice, had been brought right to them without any effort whatsoever. The best part, Dylan wasn't the hardened criminal they expected. In fact, his interrogation was unlike anything you've ever seen. Not only is it truly heartbreaking, but it was actually key to putting not one, not two, but three people behind bars for Samantha's murder. >> Help us. This is serious. Did something bad happen to her? I don't know. She's a young girl, man. No. >> What happened to her? >> I don't know. I just met her a couple of days ago. Help us. You see something bad? Not five minutes into the interview, we see an emotion painted on Dylan's face you don't often see in the interrogation room. He's holding back tears, trying to hide his face, and is exhibiting a type of stress you rarely see in criminals. He's terrified and devastated at the same time. After all, he's just 19 years old. he shouldn't be caught up in all of this. The detective picks up on this immediately and wants to figure out precisely why Dylan feels so strongly about all this. They spend some time discussing simple details with Dylan deflecting pretty much everything. But this whole time, the stress is building up in Dylan. And 15 minutes later, the detective notices that he's on the verge of completely breaking down, and he decides to exploit this perfectly. >> What did you see? I told you what I saw. No, I think there's more that you saw. We need your help. She deserved to be killed by this. Help us. What if this was your family member, your sister? Hey, there comes a time where in your life where you have to do make a right decision and do the right thing, we need your help. She's actually dead. Okay. Is she That's what I'm talking to you about. Did you see something that happened to her? If we talk about it, you're going to feel like the weight of the world is off her shoulders. There's only one thing that makes a person get this emotional. That's if they saw something bad. >> I remember a couple days ago when we were talking, we were having a good time and I don't know why. Don't know why. Why [Music] I feel so close to her. You guys say, "Well, you're close to the same age, right? you felt a connection with her because you maybe had the same problems growing up and stuff like that probably. What did you guys talk about? Just life and stuff like that. >> Yeah. Listen to music as well. Did you guys you guys like she played music? I I don't really prefer music. I just like the white noise. It's tough, man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry we're here. I think to this point, not talking about it, not thinking about it. I mean, I was thinking about it, but what were you thinking about? just that this person that could have been a potentially good friend or maybe I don't know is not going to be that person you can help her. She may not be here but that doesn't mean you can't help her. Help her. Help us find out what happened to her. >> There are hardly any words to describe what Dylan must be feeling here. He was clearly born on the wrong side of the tracks and fell in with a bad crowd. He also clearly loved Samantha, which is really the biggest tragedy of all. Over the dozens of interrogations with witnesses that were conducted, detectives realized that Samantha was murdered over a small disagreement with Danny and Tony. It was needless, senseless, and ruined countless lives. And Dylan is unwillingly right in the center of it all. The detective gives Dylan a moment to calm down and work through his emotions. Then he tells Dylan that he has one more chance to tell him what happened. Bring peace to Samantha's family and get to the bottom of this once and for all. >> We I was on my way out. Sam came back and I guess his girl or someone came in with her. They were yelling at each other, arguing, yelled towards the door. She went downstairs. Um she turned around, came back. either slapped her or put something on her cheek or something. I don't know. And she went downstairs and while she was on the stairs turning that corner to to go down the rest of the stairs, he followed her and I kind of shot I don't know where he hit her. He only graced her. She fell on the ground at the bottom of the stairs. I had to carry her out to the rent. Did he make you do that? Make you carry out the >> I wasn't not going to still have the gun out at that time. >> No, >> but I mean that's not what had me do it. I mean there's a body in the living room and blood everywhere. So we got all the furniture I got on the truck to the carpet clean. Where's the carpet though? >> Gone by where? Burned. >> How'd you get all the furniture out of there? >> I moved it. I mean, what did you do once it was outside? It wasn't outside. It's all in the kitchen. >> Still in there, probably. >> Everything Dylan has said lines up perfectly with not just Marshall's statement, but the evidence, too. Outside, the detectives found a fire pit where something had recently been burned. They surmised that this was a carpet with all of Samantha's blood on it. And inside, right at the bottom of the stairs we looked at earlier, a large area of carpet and drywall are missing right where Samantha was shot. However, that's where Dylan says his involvement ended, meaning he can't answer the single most important question that the detective still had. Where was Samantha's body? For that, they told the cops to turn to the fourth and final suspect that the cops had had since the very beginning, William, who Dylan said left in the car with Danny to hide Samantha's body. >> Our concern is obviously for mostly for the family, I think. And and I think you're you're probably feeling that way too a little bit. Um, whatever this girl's relationship with her mom and dad, she has a mom and dad and they want to be able to bury the kid with the kid. >> We know she's dead. I know you're probably wiped out. I mean, we're wiped out. We've been at this since this morning, so we're wiped out, too. >> We I know you probably haven't eaten either, but and I understand you're having some issues as far as you guys actually were at. So, we're kind of I want you to try at least think about like where are you guys? Let's put the body in the back of the car. I remember going back and going up the hill and unfortunately it's just the way that they I was laying down in the back. >> You were like actually physically laid down or you just kind of relax. >> No, I was no way lay. They want me to lay low. Like I was scrunched up. I was down. I thought they wanted me to lay down in the back and they wanted me to see where we're going. And I really thought that was that was it for me really. >> William was happy to cooperate with the detectives, which made their jobs considerably easier. The only problem is that he didn't actually see where they drove. He was forced to lay down in the back of the car, so nobody saw him in the car from the outside. So, he might not be as helpful as the detectives initially thought. However, he was able to tell them that they didn't travel for very long and gave a description of the area where they finally hid the body. >> Was there like a lot of Was it a real rural area? Was >> it was getting more rural at that point? Yeah. I remember just a lot of before we got to the the place with the fenced off area where you pulled in where you wanted to I guess take her bodies. I just remember like a lot of taller trees. cuz I remember seeing a lot of >> orange, you know, a lot of, >> you know, a lot of the fall colors, you know, just really popping out like it was just really, really bright cuz there's so many trees, >> you know, so I knew we were getting more. Then I popped up to get out of the car. Like I said, it was just like a two-lane road, you know, not really marked, you know, just a two-lane road. I didn't see any cars coming or going. It wasn't the most detailed description ever, but it turns out it was all they needed. A few days later, an officer mentioned they might know an area just outside of Akran that matched the description. So, they sent out a patrol car to search the area. And sure enough, they found it. Samantha's body lying amongst the dirt, not even buried, just dumped out in the open. Immediately, they were able to identify it by the butterfly tattoo on her arm that her mother had mentioned all those days ago. Their search had finally come to an end, and her family could finally make peace. The only question now was what to do with the suspects. The detectives clearly named Dany as the murderer, with Tony having a large role in the murder, too. However, despite how helpful William ended up being, the rest of his interview and other witness statements implied he had a lot more to do with the murder than he initially led on. So, he was charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence with a sentence of 10 years. And the court had to decide on the fate of Dylan, the 19-year-old. They decided that he shouldn't have been involved in this, and given a second chance, he might be able to get his life back on track. So, he was charged with tampering and obstructing, but he was only given 5 years of probation. As for the killer couple, Tony was given 16 years for tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice, and Danny was charged with murder and abuse of a corpse and given a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 24 years.
