>> veronica kasprzak. >> my mother is probably the one that still says that. but yeah. i heard that a lot. >> she release listened though. the desire to do good, to save a child, was too strong. so, sometimes, in the quiet hours, she wonders if she did the right thing. >> if i wouldn't have picked that house, if i would not have taken a shower, if i would have done something else. she wouldn't have been in that situation. >> of course, no one could have known then that it would end up like this. >> unified police department i need to report a runaway, my daughter has been missing. >> her daughter was annie grace kasprzak, though, when veronica first met annie, she wasn't a kasprzak at all. she wasn't their daughter, she was a client, just seven years

>> don't bring her into your home? >> that was true at the time because i happened to be about six months pregnant, so i'm sure the thought was, crazy pregnant lady, she doesn't know what she is doing. but it was very much, are you sure? you can save everybody. >> but veronica was determined to try. she, and her then husband, dennis, adopted 10-year-old annie in 2007. annie, who had bounced from house to house finally had a home. parents and brothers who adored her. >> she was the immediate cool big sister. she liked being the oldest, being in charge, teaching them all at this cool stuff. >> she was wanted, happy, making memories. >> santa! >> opening gifts on christmas morning, her first trip to the beach. not that everything was perfect, mind you. >> there was definitely still a- - i am going to text you, as much as you say you are loving me and keeping me, i don't believe you. >> how would you challenge? >> just the quintessential, i

am not going to do what you say, i'm going to do whatever i want. >> so, a psychological disconnect? >> mhmm. >> which only intensified when annie entered her teen years. >> she was about as boy crazy as i can imagine. she always had a boy that she liked or liked her, and it was never a-- here, let me see, it is out oh, i am so in love you, this is forever, i couldn't imagine anyone being more amazing. she was very all in it. >> but annie was also into her education and her future. she wanted to be a therapist, just like veronica. she even wanted her new family to adopt more kids. >> what about this other girl, mom? she is there, she is having a hard time, i think we should. >> i mean, your daughter in a way. >> veronica eventually divorced and remarried. she, and her new husband, james, settled here in riverton, utah, a quiet suburb of salt lake city. annie had james wrapped around her finger.

>> i took her with me to help me pick out and there is a shoe store right across the way. she had a way with me, she could talk me into just about anything, and one of them was her favorite shoes that she found they were a red pair of shoes. >> just a few weeks later, march 10th, 2012, annie, now 15, was watching her brothers, while veronica and james went out for dinner. >> and when we came home, everything seemed the same. i mean, annie had changed from running around the house and shorts to genes and i just kind of chalked that up to, okay, she has gotten cold. and i had a massive headache i couldn't get rid of, so i went to take a shower and annie had gone downstairs to her room to listen to music and figured it was another saturday. >> but it wasn't. when veronica finished her shower, and he was gone. james searched her bedroom. >> the note was tucked underneath her blanket. i grabbed it and it just said,

i am sorry, mom, i haven't been totally honest with you. >> annie, it turned out, was keeping a secret. in the note, she wrote, i like to my friends, i told them i was p. p? veronica and james news at stood for the word no teenagers wanted to hear, pregnant. just a few months earlier they learned that annie have sex for the first time. >> she had had sex, so, for any she assumed that i could be pregnant or i am pregnant. >> but the pregnancy test was negative, and annie was not on birth control. why would she lie about being p? even more alarming was where annie said she was going. by the time you read this note, i'll be on my way to california. please don't try and look for me, because i don't want to be found. >> the first thing we did was we called the police, and then the second person i called was chris. >> 14-year-old, chris bradshaw, annie had brought him over to

the house a few times. >> he was kind of quiet, i kind of took it as the, i'm here with my girl friend's parents, i want to make sure they don't kill me. >> was he in and out of the picture for her as the boyfriend of the moment? >> mhmm. she was crazy about him. >> crystal veronica she didn't know where annie was, but he did have some potentially significant information. annie told him she was running away with a guy, called lj. >> we were shocked, because we did know all of her friends because they changed a lot depending on who she was hanging out with at the moment, but it wasn't familiar at all. >> a police officer came and took a report. james, meanwhile, called up the gps on any's cell phone. >> it put her around about the golf course out in riverton, within a mile of that, which is around the bridge area. >> the bridge at the jordan river, just a couple of miles from their home. a place joggers and horseback riders frequent during the day, and young lovers at night.

james, veronica, and the officers watched as annie's phone ping across the computer screen in real time. >> you are watching her move? >> yes. >> our immediate assumption was she is getting in a car. >> this is a hot pursuit now for her? >> yup. >> and then the signal just stopped. veronica drove to a walmart, near where they tracked any's phone. >> and i have her picture on my cell phone, and i am showing it to the people that are sitting at the front of the greeter is going have you seen this girl? >> are you collected or are you a wreck while this is going on? >> i am frantic. >> veronica went back home. she and james watched the front door, and they kept calling annie, and her phone went straight to voicemail. >> and the best of worlds, she's out with some young boyfriend who may have been unknown? >> mhmm. >> off on a lark, but she will come back and regroup? >> our fear was that she will

come back pregnant. >> worst case scenario? not even close. coming up. >> he had told us that lj had driven by the house threatening chris. >> and a jogger makes a grim discovery. >> 911, what is the emergency? >> i am at the river bottom, there is a pool of blood. >> when dateline continues. show off their clearer skin and noticeably less itch with dupixent. because children 6 months and older with eczema have plenty of reasons to show off their skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, they can stay ahead of their eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your child's skin from within. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain,

just came over. >> spencer, remember, jaclyn had seen him coming into the station, in the days following annie's murder. she had a gut feeling back and that he was hiding something. and detectives at the time asks for his phone. >> that was part of the reason. but there was a message that i'm interested in, do note that messages? >> it was a message from chris. the cops might come back to your house, i need you to tell them that annie got a bloody nose, so i don't get blamed. >> told me about the -- >> said something about the bloody mode nose. that i don't remember seeing, i remember hearing it. >> lab results eventually did show that any's blood was on chris's shoes. detectives questioned him about it during a second interview. but then his story began to change.

in fact, the lab found more than just those two spots of blood, they found several, but studying the case file, jaclyn noticed that they didn't test every spot to see if it belongs to annie, they also had and tested the bottom of chris's shoes. >> what you do? >> at that point we went with a private lab to see if they could test the shoes further. it appeared the bottom of the shoe >> it seemed like damning evidence, but after testing that blood further-- >> it came back with two males and two females. >> again, you can't show the jury. >> more dead-end. it has now been two years since annie's murder. >> i am starting to think, maybe we are not going to actually solve this case. >> but jaclyn was tenacious. she enlisted the help of a cell phone expert, a former homicide detective, named sai ray.

>> there are certain cases like this when you understand what is going on and you see how the agency is challenged, how do you not get involved? >> he reviewed 35,000, chris bagshaw's calls and texts, and one call stood out. an incoming call at 9:01 p.m. , the night and he was killed. >> what really stands out as we saw this handle. >> handles, the signal bouncing from tower to tower. >> the signal strength must have been very similar between those four towers. >> eventually they found it, the only spot in town that caused the strange pattern of things. it was at the jordan river, the very spot where any was killed. >> we feel very, very comfortable saying at 9:01 p.m., on march 10th, the phone was with 100 meters of where she was standing. >> it turns out, if anyone who could have called chris that

night, the one who did, precisely 9:01 p.m., was annie's mom, veronica. that is because of something annie had told veronica that morning, something about chris. >> he had asked her, what would you do if i asked you to run away with me? >> run away? >> i told her, if you are ever missing he is the first person i am calling. >> what she did, without even realizing it, his health place chris bagshaw at the scene of the crime, right at the time her daughter was killed. it was early morning, october 16th, 2014, when veronica got another life-changing call. coming up. >> jaclyn is on the line. she says we are in colorado and we are in the process of arresting chris. >> when dateline continues. n d . zevo goes wherever bugs do— working 24/7, using blue and uv light to attract and trap flying insects, with no odor and no mess.

chris was extradited back to utah. veronica and james were grateful to police, but they knew nothing could bring eddie back. >> while we support the police department and the attorney's office and we appreciate all of the work that they have continued to do-- it does not change what happened. >> february 29, 2016, almost 4 years since annie's murder, and darwin christopher back shop's trial was just a week away. he had refused to talk to police and pleaded not guilty. >> they are preparing for trial the following week, and i got a phone call that chris's attorney scheduled a hearing that day.

>> jaclyn, now a sergeant with the utah state police ran to court and barely made it in time. when she got there, she saw chris standing before the judge. >> the cases that were quite change of plea, here in the day. >> there was no deal offered, just a change of heart. >> are you pleading guilty to the charge, because you are guilty? >> chris's attorney said chris wanted to take response ability for what he had done. >> first-degree felony, how do you plead? >> not guilty, your honor. >> a guilty plea, confirming what jaclyn had pieced together over the years of her investigation and she had a theory about how it all went down. >> so, march 10th, and he is discussing over the phone, what her options are for her baby with chris. and chris is telling her he has come up with a plan, and they can run away and be together. >> jaclyn thinks chris really believed annie was pregnant, so

he persuaded her to meet him at the river. but-- >> chris has no intent on running away, chris's only reason for being there is to kill her, so he just starts beating her. until she dies. >> turns out to be a very sloppy crime. >> i feel he betrayed annie more than he betrayed us, annie knew him and annie trusted him. >> at his sentencing, chris, now 18, sounded remorseful. >> i am very sorry for everything that has happened and i want to apologize to annie's family and to my family and to everybody in court today for putting everybody through this. >> still trying to put words into everything that has happened. >> but, for veronica, no amount of i'm sorry's could make up for what she and annie's family had lost. >> it made me feel sad, may you

feel loss, may your two euros tears heal your soul. mayor conscience never clear. i will grieve my daughter every day. >> so, in the charge of murder of first-degree felony i will charge you to an indeterminate term of-- >> chris >> shaw robbed any of her future and a judge decided chris's future, it would be 15 years to life in prison. this one, annie's case will surely always hold a special place in her heart. >> you think derek would have approved? his confidence in you would have been vindicated by all of this? >> i wish though that he was there. >> it started out as a case for veronica too, but she became so much more. >> we spread her ashes in the ocean, so that she would never

be in one place. and so that, wherever we were at , we could feel like she was there. >> despite the horrific events that took away her daughter, veronica is still as determined as ever to continue to do good work and to help children in need. she, and james have since adopted five more children. it is just what annie would have wanted them to do. that's all for this edition of dateline. i am andrea canning, thanks for watching. watching. >> i wish >> i wish so bad he was there. good morning and welcome to this saturday edition of morning joe weekend on this
