00:00The case was a true whodunit mystery.
00:16We had remains, but no identification.
00:18It was just very cold, very calculated.
00:22Whoever did this, they had a plan, they were methodical.
00:29Who would go through these lengths to get rid of a body?
00:32Investigators had an impossible case to solve.
00:37This is a Super Bowl, the crime of all crimes.
00:42We have to identify this victim in order to catch the killer.
00:45I was wondering, did we meet our match?
00:59On Friday, July 12, 2002, the Pennsylvania State Police received a call about a potential
01:16body that was found in Jackson Township, Monroe County.
01:22Our team responded to process the scene.
01:25It was a pull-off site along a very rural road.
01:35The body was located in two 55-gallon burn barrels.
01:42Because of the level of decomposition and the burning, the smell was absolutely putrid,
01:48so our team had to get respirators from a local fire company.
01:56It was obvious that there was no way this was an accident, it was a brutal homicide.
02:03I've worked hundreds of homicides, but this is one of the most gruesome cases I ever experienced.
02:10I knew that this was going to be a difficult case to solve.
02:19Investigators then spoke with the discoverer of the body, George Newhart.
02:25George Newhart said he was operating a septic business, and so when his truck was full up,
02:32he would pull into the location and pump it out into this tanker.
02:38When he got there, he got out of the truck, and now this is a man who deals in human waste,
02:44and he was overwhelmed by the stench.
02:49He found two barrels that were somewhat smoldering, and as he started sifting through some things
02:55a little bit, he realized this was human remains.
03:09The first person that investigators started looking at was George.
03:12They checked his whereabouts, they checked his work logs, it actually checked out.
03:16So George was not a person of interest.
03:21So investigators got to put the body together, they've got to identify this person.
03:26It was very late when investigators initially got there,
03:29so the investigation really got going on the following day, on July 13th.
03:38In one barrel was the victim's torso, in the other barrel was the victim's head and extremities.
03:47Also in the barrel were maggots, some of which were burnt,
03:52which tells us that the victim has been dead for a long time.
03:56The body was buried in the ground, and the body was buried in the ground.
04:01The body was buried in the ground, and the body was buried in the ground.
04:06Which tells us that the victim has been dead for some time.
04:15So investigators know that at this point from that call and the time that George,
04:20the person who found the body, was at the properties,
04:24there's a 10-hour window from when this body could have been dumped.
04:37Our team processed the scene to remove the victim from both barrels.
04:43And they sort of had to figure out, OK, what body parts do we have, what don't we have here?
04:48And they put down a sheet on the ground and started putting this human back together again.
04:57At that point, we couldn't determine if it was a man or a woman.
05:02Due to the fact that they were dismembered, decomposing and burnt,
05:07and given the condition of the victim, DNA testing was going to take a while.
05:15It was definitely clear to me that this person or persons who killed this individual
05:20went through great lengths to try and dispose of the body
05:23and make sure that he or she were never identified.
05:32When removing the victim from the burn barrel,
05:35we discovered a piece of blue plastic or vinyl,
05:38and we recovered duct tape, we recovered a rope,
05:42remnants of clothing, cigarette butts,
05:45all these things that we thought may or may not be related to our crime.
05:50We were able to identify the victim.
05:52We were able to identify the body.
05:54We were able to identify the body.
05:56We were able to identify the body.
05:58All these things that we thought may or may not be related to our crime.
06:04But how big is your scene?
06:06Was the victim killed and dismembered here or somewhere else?
06:09You don't know.
06:16You're talking about a remote area of the Poconos.
06:20Though it already set the case into a difficult status
06:24because they are looking at so much ground to cover.
06:29We had cadaver dogs go through the woods looking for evidence.
06:32But there's no indication or evidence that this crime had occurred here.
06:39This person was killed and dismembered somewhere else.
06:50Fortunately, the property did have a cable going across it,
06:53a 40-foot cable, and it was low.
06:57There was a lock on it.
06:58And it would have taken two people to get their vehicle underneath that cable.
07:03One to hold it up, one to drive the vehicle up to the barrels.
07:08So we believe there's two offenders.
07:11And we know that a vehicle had to enter this property
07:15because there was no evidence of dragging from the road.
07:21Then the speculation part started.
07:24You know, who could have done anything like this?
07:29It's scary to think of the type of person who would go to these lengths
07:32to try and get away with this murder.
07:45So we are trying to think like the offender.
07:49Was it someone that got off the interstate
07:51and decided to dispose of this individual in these burn barrels?
07:56Or that someone had more of an intimate knowledge of this property,
08:00being that they knew that the burn barrels would be there?
08:10When the investigation started,
08:12there's a lot of people working on it, multiple agencies.
08:15You have this two-pronged approach.
08:17On one hand, you've got the investigators looking on the ground,
08:20looking for witnesses, looking for anyone with any information about this crime.
08:26Then on the other hand, you've got the forensic team in the lab
08:30trying to work on identifying the body.
08:40As we begin this process, we know DNA is going to take a while.
08:43But right out of the gate at the autopsy,
08:45we're looking at the victim's head and extremities.
08:47And there's one thing we know, the victim is male.
08:52He was stabbed multiple times.
08:54His right orbital was crushed.
08:56His nose was fractured.
08:58His tibia was broken.
09:00Not only was this person dismembered, they went through a lot of trauma.
09:06Seeing what happened to this individual makes me sick.
09:09He's cut up into pieces, torched and thrown out like garbage.
09:12And we consider that a challenge to find the truth
09:15and bring those responsible to justice.
09:21We know that the body was wrapped in a blue plastic.
09:24And our forensic unit looked at a logo and did some research.
09:29We discovered the logo on it, and it's a popular brand.
09:34They make air mattresses.
09:37We don't know where or when the mattress was purchased.
09:41We don't know how it's related to this crime or where it fits in.
09:45It's just another piece to the puzzle.
09:49We know that there's a killer out there,
09:51so it's very crucial to identify that victim.
10:02The quickest way of identifying the victim would be through fingerprints.
10:07But the hands were severely dehydrated.
10:09They're leathery, very hard.
10:12They're shriveled up.
10:14Being exposed to extreme heat, they're very small,
10:17almost like that of a child's.
10:19It makes dealing with that piece of human fingertip very difficult.
10:25The left thumb was the best fingerprint that we had to work with,
10:29but it was small.
10:31So it was a slow process.
10:34The killers had a plan to cover all their tracks.
10:39You don't put pieces of a body into two separate barrels
10:44and set them on fire unless you don't want to be found.
10:52It was so disgusting.
10:54You don't get that smell out of your head.
10:57Who would go through these lengths to get rid of a body?
11:00Who would go through these lengths to get rid of a body?
11:06We knew that we were dealing with something very evil at this point.
11:22We have an unidentified individual that was murdered horribly,
11:27dismembered and burned in a couple burn barrels.
11:32We want to identify this person at all costs
11:35because ultimately we want a family to know what happened to their loved one,
11:39number one.
11:40Number two, we have to identify that person in order to catch the killer.
11:58So weeks, they turned into months.
12:02And we were thinking outside the box
12:05and doing everything we could to identify the victim.
12:10It's very frustrating with an unidentified person
12:14when you can't make that connection to who they are.
12:17It feels like the investigation stalls.
12:22So my partner reached out to a forensic artist
12:26and he recreates with clay and his artistry
12:30and gives us a face of this victim.
12:37We were hoping to get some type of face out there.
12:40We're working with the media to get this information out there
12:43because we have to identify this victim.
12:46We were doing everything we could.
12:49However, the victim's identity still wasn't known.
12:55There's a family connected to this person.
12:59The investigators were frustrated.
13:01Can you imagine trying to solve a crime
13:05where the evidence is basically burned in pieces?
13:11So at this point, we're doing everything we can.
13:14We're looking at new avenues.
13:16Anything we can do to think outside the box
13:20and move forward with this investigation.
13:24You have the human emotion and the professional emotion.
13:29But we were never going to give up.
13:31We weren't going to stop fighting for that victim.
13:33And so we continued investigating.
13:37We believe there's two offenders based on the cable.
13:42Whoever did this, they had a plan.
13:44They were methodical.
13:47So you have to think,
13:49did the person or people who did this
13:53have a plan?
13:55Did they have a plan?
13:57Did they have a plan?
13:59Did they have a plan?
14:01Did they have a plan?
14:03Did the person or people responsible for this
14:07really get away with murder?
14:22Then we get about a year outside of the investigation.
14:25And there was a very well-known case
14:27back in the summer of 2003 that came to light
14:31with an individual named Hugo Solinsky.
14:33Hugo Solinsky is accused of killing two people,
14:36burning and then burying their remains
14:38at a Kingston Township home where he lived.
14:40Three other sets of remains were found here.
14:43He's a suspect in those deaths too.
14:46These murders were committed in May of 2002,
14:49just two months before they found the body in Jackson Township.
14:54Could Hugo Solinsky be connected to this murder?
14:58There were a lot of similarities
15:00between Hugo Solinsky's crimes and this crime.
15:03He used duct tape to bind his victims.
15:05He brutally bludgeoned his victims.
15:07He burned his victims to ash, literally.
15:13This happened only miles from where our scene was
15:17of the burn barrels and the dismembered body.
15:20So it really piqued our interest,
15:22and we wanted to find out,
15:24is there a nexus between the two cases?
15:26Does our victim have any connection to Hugo Solinsky?
15:31We knew we had to keep pressing on,
15:34and it really all came back to identifying the victim.
15:44I had this fingerprint from our victim's left thumb,
15:47but it was dehydrated, shriveled up.
15:50So I started thinking, what can we do?
15:53We're looking at this print, looks like a child's fingerprint.
15:56What if we enlarge it incrementally
15:58and run it through the system as many times as it takes,
16:01little by little, enlarge, submit, enlarge, submit?
16:04And, you know, fortunately, it paid off.
16:12Lo and behold, in November of 2003,
16:15we get a hit on a fingerprint,
16:17and our victim is now given a name of Robert Raudebusch.
16:25It was such a great victory, a great relief.
16:28So as excited as I am, as we all are,
16:31like, our work's just beginning.
16:33Who is Robert Raudebusch?
16:35Who would want to kill him?
16:48So we reached out to the family.
16:51We want to learn as much about Bob as possible.
16:54And once we talked to them,
16:56we started getting a better picture of who Bob is.
17:09Bob was my stepbrother.
17:12His mother and my father were married in 1981.
17:18When I first met Bob and got to know him,
17:25he was very fun-loving,
17:28he was kind,
17:31and seemed like someone who just,
17:34who loved life and loved people
17:36and was just trying to find his own way.
17:40I had moved to Reno
17:43and was starting work at the new hotel.
17:47His mother was also starting to work in the same area.
17:52Bob was a security guard at one of the casinos.
17:59So many times we would meet up with him at the casino.
18:03The three of us would just have a really good time together.
18:06Bob was just part of the family.
18:08We all became a family together.
18:15Bob was trying to find his way.
18:20He decided to go into the Marine Corps.
18:27After the Marines, Bob had relocated to the East Coast.
18:31Bob's mother told me, you know,
18:33like, that he had moved to Pennsylvania,
18:36that he had a girlfriend.
18:39She expressed concern
18:42because he had not contacted her on her birthday.
18:48No matter what, he would never miss her birthday.
18:53And then in the winter, she called me and told me
18:57that the Corning police had come to the home
19:00to tell her that his remains had been identified
19:04as a murder victim in Pennsylvania.
19:08I was horrified.
19:09I just couldn't imagine someone doing that
19:13to another human being
19:15and then just dumping like a piece of garbage.
19:20How could they be so cold?
19:23They didn't care about anything
19:25except covering up their own heinous act.
19:31Before we knew Bob's identity,
19:33we conducted hundreds and hundreds of interviews.
19:36Now that we have his identity,
19:38we're going to conduct hundreds and hundreds more.
19:41We are going to get to the bottom of this.
19:43We have to do everything possible to catch the killer.
19:47It was definitely one of those cases
19:49where I thought, maybe we've met our match.
20:04So we were working on this investigation
20:07for a year and a half,
20:08and finally we have an identification of the victim.
20:16Bob Rautabusch.
20:21He was a young man.
20:23He was a young man.
20:25He was a young man.
20:27He was a young man.
20:29He was a young man.
20:32It's like a shot of adrenaline,
20:36but we still didn't have a crime scene
20:38as to where the victim was killed at.
20:41These individuals were smart enough to transport that body
20:45and did a pretty good job of destroying it,
20:48almost to the point of not identifying the victim.
20:52Fortunately, that didn't happen.
21:01Through interviews, we identify Bob's girlfriend.
21:05We go to talk to her.
21:09She had not seen him for quite some time.
21:13She never filed a missing person report
21:15because their relationship was sort of over.
21:18It was strained.
21:19She kind of moved on with her life at this point.
21:23We asked, is there anyone that would want to hurt Bob?
21:26Was there any connection to an individual
21:29named Hugo Selinsky who killed multiple people?
21:33When you have Hugo Selinsky burning bodies on his property,
21:36it's only logical to think that there may be a connection
21:39between the two.
21:41She told us she wasn't aware of anybody that wanted to hurt Bob,
21:45and she had no connection to Hugo Selinsky.
21:52Periodically, you know, I'd find myself going out
21:55and searching just to see if there had been anything new
22:01about what had happened and any suspects.
22:05There was sadness.
22:06There was an emptiness that was there,
22:10and it was just so hard.
22:21At this point, you can't give up.
22:23You got to keep on going.
22:24But at the end of the day, it got very frustrating
22:27because every lead, every idea, everything we tried went nowhere.
22:42Around the time we released the identity to the press,
22:45we received a call from James Brinton,
22:48an inmate who says he has information
22:51regarding this investigation.
22:54James Brinton had recently been extradited from California
22:59on a theft charge
23:00and was sitting in that Columbia County prison.
23:04They said he knew the victim,
23:06so this, of course, gave investigators that hope
23:11that this could be the break in the case.
23:16We went down to the Columbia County prison,
23:20and I conducted an interview.
23:23He tells us in 2002, he was living in the city of Wilkes-Barre
23:28with his wife, Stacey.
23:31James Brinton tells investigators that he was friends
23:34with the victim because they were ex-Marines,
23:36but he thinks that the person who may have did this
23:40was his neighbor, Larry Tooley.
23:45Larry Tooley was also a Marine,
23:48so the three of them kind of all got along.
23:51James said that Larry was dating a girl
23:56that Bob was starting to have sort of an affair with,
24:00and as time went on, bad blood started between Bob and Larry.
24:06James said that Bob was supposed to come to a barbecue
24:11at the Brinton's house on July 4th,
24:14but he didn't show up,
24:16and James said he never talked to him again.
24:20Then James said that in July, that same month,
24:24that Bob went missing.
24:26James went on to tell us a story
24:28how he was assaulted by Larry Tooley.
24:31James says that Larry pistol-whipped him
24:35and threatened to rape his wife
24:38all over a stolen MP3 player.
24:42But then James drops a bombshell.
24:45Larry tells him to keep your mouth shut
24:48or I will cave in your skull like Bob.
24:55James was completely putting it out there
24:58that Larry Tooley had to be the person that killed Bob
25:02and that he didn't want to end up like him.
25:06This is a shocking development for the investigators.
25:16Now, Larry Tooley was well known to the investigators
25:20because Larry Tooley at that point in time
25:23was incarcerated on murder charges.
25:26In November of 2002,
25:28Larry killed a 16-year-old during a home invasion.
25:32Now, Bob was discovered in July of 2002.
25:35This is only 4 months apart.
25:37So there was a lot of interest in Larry Tooley at this point.
25:46James was very believable
25:49and he became this investigation's new best friend.
25:56So at this point, investigators have some information,
26:00but this case is still a mystery.
26:04So, of course, police have to start cooperating
26:07all of this information from James.
26:11They want to get a hold of James' wife, Stacey.
26:15She is currently in jail in San Diego.
26:21I reached out to Stacey Britton.
26:23She immediately goes into Larry Tooley
26:25and talking about being assaulted,
26:27her husband being pistol-whipped by him.
26:29Now, this is Stacey's words,
26:30which were very similar to her husband's.
26:32She said, I'm going to cave your skull in
26:34and have a mother-****** barbecue.
26:37So she added that in there too,
26:39a barbecue, burning, burn barrels.
26:44Bob's remains were lit on fire.
26:48At this point, I'm thinking we are really on to something.
26:52Stacey Britton kind of corroborated
26:54that same information, but she gave a few extra tidbits.
27:03So Stacey explained that herself, Larry Tooley,
27:08Bob Rautabush, and her husband, James,
27:11would go back and forth between Wilkes-Barre
27:14and Newark, New Jersey for business.
27:16I said, well, would you ever stop anywhere?
27:18And she said, are you talking about North Road?
27:21She said, well, my brother lives near there,
27:24real close to there.
27:26And I'm thinking the whole time,
27:28I can't believe that she just said North Road to me.
27:31That was a big clue.
27:33A light bulb went off.
27:35I knew from that point on,
27:37Stacey was going to be my second best friend
27:40in the investigation.
27:42But I had no idea what was ahead on this case.
28:02I knew that once the victim was identified,
28:06we would make moves in the right direction.
28:10At this point, we're thinking Larry Tooley
28:13and or Hugo Selinsky have to be tied
28:17into the murder of Bob Rautabush.
28:20So we're going to explore every possible aspect
28:24before we make our next move.
28:31♪♪
28:48Larry Tooley was a known killer,
28:51and he had access to where Bob's remains were discovered.
28:55So all of that, all of that was the focus initially.
29:00Investigators know from James and Stacey Brenton
29:04that Bob possibly was sleeping with Tooley's girlfriend.
29:10So this could be a possible motive.
29:13Investigators right away say,
29:15we need to get more information.
29:21We knew Larry Tooley was incarcerated,
29:25so we went to the next best person.
29:28We went to Larry Tooley's girlfriend.
29:31She says, listen, I wasn't having an affair
29:34with Bob Rautabush.
29:36She said they're liars, don't believe anything that they say.
29:42She actually described them as scumbags,
29:45and she said some of the Britons' information
29:48was kind of exaggerated.
29:52In fact, the girlfriend said she only saw Bob
29:56and Larry Tooley together on one occasion.
30:01It was very different than what the Britons have told me.
30:10So we thought maybe the Britons were using that as a deflection,
30:14you know, and trying to give, like, a smokescreen.
30:17They definitely knew more than they were saying.
30:21The Britons had been very believable.
30:24However, we were starting to think,
30:26I wonder if this is a story they created
30:29to push blame off themselves.
30:33We know that there were some inconsistencies in their stories
30:37that were red flags.
30:40Are they omitting things? Are they lying to us?
30:46Anyone could have done it.
30:48We have a pool of people that are possible suspects,
30:51but we still need that one clue or piece of evidence
30:56to push us in the right direction.
31:03So we give it some time.
31:07We heard the Britons were getting out of prison,
31:10and we tried to initiate another interview with both of them together.
31:17It seemed to me like James did want to talk.
31:22However, Stacy was having no part of that,
31:25and she shut down the interview.
31:31We have all these leads.
31:33We're looking at all these puzzle pieces floating out there,
31:36but we don't have a focal point because we don't have a crime scene.
31:40And it's frustrating.
31:42It's, you know, hard as hell, but Robert has a family,
31:46and we'd like to give them answers and give them some closure.
31:52The police were working diligently to try and solve his murder.
31:59It was just so hard.
32:01We needed to know what happened and why it happened.
32:11Whoever committed this crime planned this in such a way
32:14where they wouldn't get caught.
32:16There's a lot of evidence.
32:19There's a lot of roads that lead off in different directions,
32:23but it doesn't seem like it's leading to the person
32:26or people who committed this murder.
32:38Finally, in 2015, we get a call from Stacy Brinton.
32:42Apparently, she wants to talk to us.
32:44I couldn't believe that she was reaching out again.
32:47After all these years.
32:49She says she and James weren't husband and wife anymore,
32:53but they were living together, and things weren't going well.
32:57She says she's in fear of James, and her life's coming apart,
33:02and she needs to talk to somebody about this.
33:05And I could tell she was upset, but she wanted to tell us a story.
33:11I knew that that was a tipping point,
33:14and I was never prepared for what she was about to tell.
33:29On August 14, 2015, we finally got that break.
33:33During the phone call from Stacy,
33:36she told us that her ex-husband, James Brinton,
33:39actually killed Barbara Audebush.
33:43If James Brinton killed Bob.
33:45I knew that we had to act on it quick.
33:48The case was ice cold, and then it went red hot, just like that.
33:53And we felt we had enough to charge James.
33:56So we took James into custody, and we set up a recorded interview.
34:02Let's go back to 2002 July.
34:05July 4th.
34:07July 4th.
34:08And that's where James went into his version
34:11of what actually happened on July 4, 2002.
34:16But I was talking to Bob,
34:18and I don't remember the text of the conversation.
34:22The next thing I know, Stacy hit him on the back of the head.
34:30With like a heavy metal mallet hammer type of thing.
34:35And she hit Bob in the back of the head with this thing.
34:38She had a knife in her hand,
34:40and she started to try and stab at Bob with the knife,
34:43and he kept fighting her off and pushing and punching against her.
34:46And I didn't even, I didn't know what the hell to do.
34:49I sat there, I was like in complete shock.
34:53Why didn't you stop it?
34:56I was, it's going to sound stupid, I was in fear of my life too.
34:59I mean, she attacked Bob out of the blue.
35:02If I got involved, I knew I'd be dead too.
35:08At this point, Stacy and James are both trying to pin it on each other,
35:12and investigators have to figure out what really happened to Bob.
35:20What happens next?
35:24She was going in to kill him, to finish him off.
35:28And I stopped her, because he wanted to pray.
35:36His last words were,
35:39Oh God, please not a violent death.
35:42And she cut his throat, at that point.
35:45And he bled out, right there.
35:49So was she crying about doing this, or was she upset?
35:53No, no, she wasn't.
35:56The look in her eye, the night that she killed Bob,
35:59I had never seen that look in anybody before.
36:02It was, it wasn't human.
36:05It didn't, it was scary as hell.
36:10Now it started to become more like a cat and mouse scenario.
36:13And with every increase in detail,
36:16Stacy was becoming more and more of an active participant.
36:22We had more questions.
36:24So my partner brought Stacy back to one of our state police stations,
36:29and that's where they conducted her videotaped interview.
36:32She sort of excluded herself from all the heavy duty, the killing part.
36:37However, she proceeded to talk about what had happened to Bob,
36:43and the dismemberment, her own confession to what she had done.
36:49I was ecstatic.
36:51You had told us the way you dismembered the body,
36:54was to put the axe down.
36:56And I hammered it.
36:58Yeah.
36:59So you did that, you dismembered his head, right?
37:02Yeah.
37:03Lower legs.
37:04Yeah.
37:05From the knee down.
37:06Yeah.
37:08Stacy went into all that awful detail,
37:11about how she disposed of the body,
37:13and using garden shears, and a sledgehammer, and an axe.
37:18Just awful stuff.
37:21She said after the dismemberment, they had to get the body out of there.
37:25So they used an air mattress.
37:28They carried Bob's remains.
37:31And they proceeded to go to North Road.
37:36And someone had to hold the cable.
37:39That's where the barrel was.
37:43And then we put all the bags.
37:45Well, first we put his torso in.
37:49And then Jim poured the gas.
38:01And Stacy lit the remains on fire.
38:06And they fled there.
38:08I think Stacy thought because she had blamed her husband for killing Bob,
38:12that she was going to be okay.
38:14And wouldn't be arrested.
38:17I really thought that, honestly, after nobody came,
38:24I kind of put it away.
38:30It appeared Stacy was going to beat James to the punch
38:34by blaming it on him before he could blame her.
38:38I called it the nuclear option,
38:40because it wound up bringing both of them down.
38:43They each admitted enough about their own involvement
38:46to clearly make them culpable in the murder.
38:51For years, we heard this story from the Britons
38:54about Larry Tully committing this crime.
38:57And there was the Hugo Selinsky angle as well.
39:00Deep down inside myself and my partner,
39:02we always thought, there's just more to this.
39:04It doesn't make sense.
39:06They thought they committed the perfect murder.
39:09But they were wrong.
39:12They got rid of the body, got rid of evidence.
39:16Their stories were very similar.
39:18However, the devil's in the details.
39:20And I think ultimately it was their own words
39:23that that was the best evidence.
39:26So investigators arrest both James and Stacy.
39:31In October of 2016, James took the plea
39:35and was sentenced to 15 to 30 years in state prison
39:39for murder in the third degree, abuse of corpse, and perjury.
39:43But Stacy insisted on going to trial.
39:46After 14 years of police trying to find the person
39:49who allegedly killed 46-year-old Robert Raudbusch,
39:52Stacy Britton is heading into a Monroe County courtroom
39:55to face charges.
39:58November of 2016, Stacy Britton is convicted
40:01of first-degree murder, hindering apprehension,
40:05and conspiracy.
40:07She's sentenced to life in prison
40:09without the possibility of parole.
40:14What she did to get rid of Bob,
40:21it was worse than a horror movie.
40:25You can't do this to a human being and get away with it.
40:30This is a Super Bowl, you know, the crime of all crimes.
40:34And I'm proud to be a part of the team
40:36that brought justice to the victim.
40:42I think it's so interesting that it was their own mouths
40:47that ended up doing them in.
40:49They had to tell on one another.
40:51They just had such a volatile relationship
40:53that it got the best of them.
40:58And I am very, very thankful
41:02that the police stayed on this
41:06because nobody deserves what was done to Bob.
41:10Nobody.
41:21You have no choice but to think the worst.
41:23Christina had been missing longer than she had been alive.
41:27We had always hoped to bring Christina home.
41:30Whoever did this really knew what they were doing
41:33and did not want her found.
