monterey is a jewel in northern california's coastline. i'm looking around here. are you even allowed to live here if you don't have a boat? [ laughter ] >> i don't know, maybe if you play golf.

>> so, you can come to monterey, for golf along the shoreline at the courses in pebble beach. you can come for the marine life at its world-famous aquarium or for the vestiges of cannery row that once teemed with vivid life, as nobel-prize winner john steinbeck wrote about in the 1940s. judy earp came here for love. later-in-life love. >> tom was the most intelligent man i have ever known. i think it was a pretty immediate mutual attraction between tom and i. >> a realtor who was divorced with four children, judy was on a group trip to las vegas in the early 2000s when she met dr. thomas burchard. he was a child psychiatrist in monterey, who was also recently divorced. >> he's a good listener, being a psychiatrist, but he's -- was also an extremely good talker, conversationalist. so sometimes i would wonder, did he ever give his patients a chance to talk? >> their romance blossomed. they'd keep in touch via email,

he'd visit her in l.a., where she'd go to museums with tom, and he'd always be looking the bookish part. >> tom's uniform, which he had worn for 40 years -- khaki pants, white dress shirt, and a bow tie, every day. >> two years or so into their relationship, around 2004, judy and her four kids move in with builds this new life together. one of their favorite pastimes, catching a show at the downtown theater. >> i know we went to a "weird" al yankovic concert here. >> he was awesome, right? >> i liked that. i really enjoyed that one. >> judy would learn just how respected, really even revered, dr. burchard was in this area by his colleagues and by parents of his patients at community hospital of the monterey peninsula, where he worked for 40 years. maria's youngest child was one of dr. burchard's patients. >> my daughter, since she was

5 years old, had some psychiatric problems, and we struggled for about four or five years trying to find a good psychiatrist who connected with her. he was like a breath of fresh air for her. he was a joyful man. he was always happy. i never saw him angry ever or upset or felt like he was being rushed ever. he basically, i think, saved her life. >> to help create a one-on-one relationship with his young patients, dr. burchard liked to use toys. >> his office was like something you'd expect in "willy wonka" or something. he had buckets of costco-size candy and snacks. he had books, piles of books. >> tom had a collection of beanie babies, and his younger patients really enjoyed saying, oh, well, do you have this one? and he -- oh, yeah, right here. >> my daughter kept asking for one particular beanie baby and

he held out, held out, i think, until she was like 18 years old, he finally gave it to her. >> dr. burchard also had a surprising talent, magic. he'd frequent the local magic store, and he'd spend hundreds of dollars every time he went in, and he used magic to gain the confidence of his young patients, making things appear and disappear. >> he had a trick where he would take a $1 bill and fold it up and blow on it, and then he would turn it into a $100 bill. but he would ask the child if they could name the president on the $100 bill, they could have it. or, at first that worked because, you know, benjamin franklin wasn't a president. >> and then hip-hop showed up. >> yeah. >> it's all about the bemjamins. >> yeah. >> he really cared about his patients. he listened to them. he stuck by them. he didn't drop them when they turned 18, which happens with a lot of child psychiatrists.

>> dr. burchard's generosity was well known, on his own time and on his own dime. he'd often make trips to costco to buy food or school supplies for his patients and their families. >> if somebody was behind on their rent, he would loan them money. he felt that most problems in the world were caused by from chemical imbalances that medicine could correct, or lack after money. tom thought that he could save the world with his pen, write a check or write a prescription. i believe it was like a don quixote. >> judy had never imagined how just how far tom's generosity and largess might go until the day in his car, when she saw another woman's name on top of a lease agreement that dr. burchard was signing. and that name was kelsey turner. >> i saw it. i said, "hey, what's this?"

and he explained all about it. and i said, that's not a good idea, tom. don't do it. there's no guarantee. and i explained to him, you are responsible. if she doesn't pay, they're coming after you. >> according to judy, kelsey had once described herself to dr. burchard in emails as a single mom with financial hardships who just needed a little help getting back on her feet, but it wasn't her feet that kelsey turner sent him photos of. >> he believed that everyone could be good, you know, that no one was intrinsically bad. and, um, unfortunately that's not true. >> so, in "cannery row", john steinbeck would write, "it's all fine to say, 'time will heal everything, this too shall pass away. people will forget,' and things like that when you are not

involved, but when you are, there is no passage of time, people do not forget, and you are in the middle of something that does not change." what are you thinking about now? >> sometimes we have to realize there's evil in this world, too. and i think that kelsey turner personifies evil. >> and now evil has a new address. the insta model is coming to tom's town, and she's not coming quietly. >> get out of my face [ bleep ] you let him take my car. i'm getting vaccinated with prevnar 20®. a pfizer vaccine! so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm asking about prevnar 20® because there's a chance pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 19 or older, with certain chronic conditions like copd, asthma, diabetes, or heart disease or are 65 or older, you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia.

pretty. she wanted to do her hair. she wanted to do her makeup. >> kelsey liked to go to pageants, events that she was able to kind of show off at. >> she was very interested in the famous life, and that was what kelsey was thriving to be. >> it turns out that kelsey's mother samantha used to be a model. in fact, on her facebook page, you can see a resemblance between mother and daughter. her mother even posted this side-by-side shot of them on instagram, saying, i can't believe how much we look alike. >> i believe that kelsey got her first taste of stardom from her mother. and she would see all of the attention that her mom got from that. so, i do believe that that's where she decided that she wanted to follow that role. >> back then, badd barbie went by the instagram handle >> she was very sassy. there are, you know, like her innocent days of wearing a sundress with cowgirl boots, just posing on a chair a little bit sexy. and then once she got out to

l.a. is when she really started to take away the modest and put herself up there and show off her good body. >> it took her defiantly out of arkansas into and then out of a troubled marriage, and then in full glamazon mode, onto the internet, and that's where a new world of red carpets and photo shoots beckoned. but what had brought her to salinas was the older man that her neighbors the stewarts had started noticing. >> he was a very stoic man. i mean, whenever kelsey and the mother were out, you know, sunbathing or just being outside, he would just stand there. >> we would try to figure out who he was. and i said, well, maybe he's a grandfather, maybe he's the dad. who knows who he was? >> the man was dr. thomas burchard, and he was giving till it hurts, because he was not kelsey turner's doctor, or her kids' or her mother's. friends say kelsey had become

his obsession. >> well, i heard a couple of their conversations with -- him with kelsey where she said, last night was pretty good, wasn't it? there's more. yeah. >> like the magician he was, burchard had managed to conceal from view much of his relationship to the insta model in residence. but judy knew what he liked to do online. >> he did like looking at pictures of, you know, pornographic pictures. >> what did you ask him about it when you found out he was doing that kind of thing? >> i didn't approve of it in any way. i just didn't realize the danger that it could lead to, you know. >> with kelsey, thomas burchard had done more than just look. >> suddenly here's a real, live model right here, real life, you know. >> talking to him, connecting with him. >> yeah. >> and how do you think that

made him feel? >> you know, the playboy model and all of that. i think it kind of boosted his ego. actually, more than just kind of. i was aware, fully aware that he was going over to her house. >> burchard would tell a different story to his male friends, that his obsession with her made him understand how heroin addicts must feel, and that kelsey turner would do anything he wanted. >> he goes, "eddie, i -- it's -- i'm in too deep. i'm not -- i'm not going anywhere. i'm with her. she's mine. i'm hers. we're gonna have this life together." >> but that meant paying for the privilege of her company. because kelsey turner had come too far not to get what she was due. >> if we tried to characterize the relationship he had with kelsey turner, we might say an intimate relationship. >> yes. >> a transactional relationship. >> yes. >> so, no matter what roof kelsey turner found herself under, thomas burchard was

paying for it and for everything else, too >> usually, it would be preceded by a text from kelsey turner asking him to come over or to bring groceries or to bring medicine over. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> remember how burchard was convinced that all problems could be solved with prescription drugs or money? according to text messages between these two, kelsey turner felt the same way. >> she would ask for prescription drugs, money, rent for houses, access to cars. >> she was more like, where are you at? i need money. you know, i need these prescriptions right now. you better get over here. she would always say, you want some of that love, you better get over here. >> i got suspicious about kelsey and this relationship when she started to post things like her

new vehicles and things for her house that are concerning of where the finances came from. >> there was a bmw for kelsey. >> she was demanding that he financed her life. >> and to the increasing horror of those close to him, he did just that. >> i would say, thomas, what are you doing? seriously. i mean, you're a doctor. what's going through your mind? >> i would definitely say, as nicely as i can, that dr. burchard was kelsey's sugar daddy, yes. >> i never -- i felt secure in our relationship. i did not see her as a threat to our relationship. obviously, it was a mistake, in not seeing her as serious of a threat. >> eventually, judy just became fed up with the cozy and costly

relationship between thomas and kelsey. what kind of ultimatum do you finally give tom? >> i told him. i said, you know, she's got to go. at this point you're going to have to get her evicted. >> kelsey didn't like the sound of that. according to text messages, some threats were made. >> she had threatened to kill me. i saw the text. if she gets me evicted, i'm going to kill her. >> and thomas finally seems to get the message. kelsey is kicked out of that salinas house and her bmw is taken away, too. judy has a plan to put something between the two -- distance, lots of it. >> tom took my suggestion that las vegas would be a good fit for her, so he gave kelsey turner money to go to las vegas permanently. >> you must think now things will get better. >> that's what i hoped. >> las vegas and kelsey turner, made for each other, right? but thomas burchard's

you can indulge in all of your vices. people come here to reinvent themselves. >> so after being driven out of salinas, kelsey turner's off to live in sin city, which allowed her to post photos on social media in a town where she knew how to have a good time. >> kelsey was part of our hollywood crew that would go from los angeles to las vegas and would do the weekend parties with us. so we were just all kinda, like, lit, just having a good time. >> her barbie world was in vegas. there's a lot more opportunity for money out there, and there's a lot more opportunity for modeling, dressing up. tight dress, figure showing, hair long, hairspray, heels 10 inches tall. >> but one thing was clear -- she needed a way to pay the

bills, and her insta modeling career had stalled out. >> she was posting less magazines and print modeling photos when she was in vegas. >> she was starting to make poor choices. and she was becoming something she was not. >> with social media models, it's all about the image. and no matter what was going on underneath, she had to post pictures that made reality seem much more lavish. >> kelsey was spending mad dough, but i never really knew what her source of income was. >> but those close to thomas knew exactly where the money was coming from. >> i saw several texts where she needed more money, more money for everything. >> including a new mercedes to replace the bmw that judy had made thomas take back. and kelsey let judy know all about that in a photo of the benz that she texted. >> so her response is, "thanks for taking the bmw. i look better in the 2017 benz anyway." and then there are three emojis of a raised middle finger. >> yeah, i knew what it was.

and it's just like, whatever, you know. >> now, as if the new car wasn't enough, thomas starts paying rent on this four-bedroom house for kelsey and her 4-year-old son. and irony of all ironies, the house is on puritan avenue. >> she had no credit history, so she couldn't qualify for a lease. >> after kelsey moved in, neighbors started noticing a lot of activity at the house. >> what kind of behavior did they report seeing going on? >> people coming and going at all hours. several arguments and quarrels that they noticed here on on the front step. >> i know that there were three or four people living in a house that she was claiming she was living in on her own. >> diana pena was one of those people. she was a bartender who babysat kelsey's son while kelsey hit the strip, looking for men with money.

>> was she good at getting people to give her money, you think? >> yeah. >> why do you think people would want to give her money? >> i don't know. she's a pretty charming person. she's good at manipulating things. >> finding men, for kelsey, was like shooting fish in a barrel. and pena says that thomas was by far her biggest catch. >> she called him her whale. >> her whale? >> yeah. >> what was he paying for? >> i don't know. i know that she would once in a while call him and -- if she needed clothes. he was a little bit of a pushover. >> and kelsey kept thomas in the dark on just about everything, including who was living in a house he paid for. >> on the ground floor, there was jeremy escherich, a roommate who slept in the bedroom next to the garage. upstairs was diana's room, which was next to kelsey's son's bedroom. and kelsey was in the master

bedroom, which she would share with her new boyfriend, a 27-year-old former gang member named jon logan kennison, whom she met in early 2019. >> she liked the little trouble, like gangstery type guys, bad boys. >> not only were these two inseparable -- they even got matching tattoos. where did they get their names tattooed on each other? >> like, right here, i believe. >> i think when you look at the relationship from logan's perspective, you see someone who is completely enamored with -- with kelsey. >> apparently that meant turning a blind eye to kelsey's ongoing relationship with thomas. >> i think anybody in logan's position would not want to ask the questions they don't want the answers to. you can see that kelsey is trying to make sure that her relationship with dr. burchard remains the way it is in that no one can interfere with it and disrupt that arrangement. >> she never posted pictures on social media that -- that would

allude to having a boyfriend or being in a serious relationship. >> it seems that kelsey did not post about boyfriends for two reasons. one, she didn't want her fan world to think of her as hooked up with someone. and the other one was that perhaps she wanted thomas to think her world revolved around him, and she needed his money. >> when we looked through the phones, we could see extensive cash payments to her. and i would say over the span of the relationship, it was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. >> i stopped counting at about $750,000. >> $750,000? >> it was around that. a lot of it came out of his, i guess, 401(k), his retirement. >> and burchard was evidently feeling the financial pain. he once texted kelsey, i sent over $100,000 for you this year, which was unwise financial for

me and clearly not sustainable. perhaps needing a break, thomas and judy decide to take a little getaway to las vegas for valentine's day 2019. >> and it would combine valentine's day, and his birthday was february 16th. it made a long, you know, little vacation. >> despite everything that's happened, thomas just can't break away. he cannot help himself when it comes to kelsey. >> so, does he wind up seeing kelsey turner on this trip? >> i think he briefly saw her on that trip. >> thomas tells judy that he needs to see kelsey's son, whom kelsey says was sick. and while thomas was at the house, kelsey made sure everyone else was gone. so, it's a couple of weeks later, and kelsey's money demands are still nonstop, and yet thomas buys a roundtrip ticket -- monterey, vegas,

to dr. burchard that are really troubling. >> allegations are made that thomas burchard in fact has child pornography on his device, on his iphone. as it relates to child pornography, there was no pornography material on the device. so, whether that was a false accusation being made by kelsey in an attempt to harm mr. burchard's reputation, i don't know. >> still, even the threat of child porn would be devastating to a child psychiatrist with a sterling reputation back in monterey. so, what might a desperate man like dr. burchard be capable of in that kind of situation? you just knew this was a very volatile situation. >> yeah. >> but you couldn't predict where it was going to go. >> right. >> 36 hours later, it's time for tom burchard to fly home to monterey. >> on late monday afternoon, i decide to go meet the plane

conclude burchard was killed by a second object as he sat in the car and then crawled along the car's floorboards to evade the assault. >> at that time, i was kind of focused on the bat. like, well, you couldn't even swing that bat inside that car 'cause the car's not big enough. i think there's a different murder weapon. i don't know if it's going to be a hammer. because it's a real distinct shape. >> it would seem likely that the extent of the injuries speak to a man having performed this heinous act. who else is in kelsey's life? well, there's her current boyfriend, jon logan kennison. >> this was the residence that thomas burchard was paying for for kelsey turner to live in. >> and who else lived here at the time -- at the beginning of march when thomas burchard came to visit kelsey here? >> jon logan kennison. >> cell phone data indicates lots of activity in the early

morning hours of march 3rd from some of the residents here. days later, it put some of them on the road to that site in the desert. but now there's no sign of kelsey, kennison, or housemate diana pena. when police search inside, they find signs of foul play. >> the house was a house full of clues. from the bottom floor to the top floor, there was evidence that something bad had occurred. you could see that in the garage there was apparent blood. >> they found the broken door upstairs, blood still on the door. they found a blue and white striped towel that matched one of the towels that had covered burchard in the trunk. >> that means two separate attacks on burchard with two different weapons. detective jaeger is still hoping one of the residents will return, but when he talks to the neighbors, one of them says a gray sedan keeps driving past the place and gives the detective a license plate number. >> it was actually a guy who had

a cleaning service that had cleaned the house and was coming back because kelsey refused to pay him. he did acknowledge that there was also a large, red stain that the cleaning guy thought was just red wine or maybe spaghetti sauce. he was like, yeah, it was probably would be a blood stain. >> a warrant has been issued for kelsey turner. and it turns out that an fbi task force out of stockton, california, has gotten the goods. they've tracked down kelsey turner. >> so they reached out to the stockton police who did find turner living near the railroad tracks and east of downtown stockton. she was there with her 4-year-old son. >> kelsey turner is taken into custody on march 21st, 2019. posing for a photo that won't be posted on her instagram page. detective jaeger flies out to california to interview her in jail.

>> when she walks up to me, she kind of saunters a little bit, and she's acting somewhat seductive. she reaches her hand out, and i was like, well, i'm detective jaeger." so once i advised her of her rights, she was like, nope, i'm not going to talk. but i wanted to leave a little something with her. i was like, you know, what you did in las vegas, you're gonna go to jail for. >> what did you see on her face when you said that? >> she just went blank. the saunter was gone. >> we're back now with the playboy model accused of murder. police say 25-year-old kelsey turner killed a psychiatrist with the help of accomplices who are still on the run. >> talk about going viral. the insta model's face now splashed across tv screens and web pages all across the world. >> i was shocked when i heard that she was arrested for murder. i was thinking to myself, there's no way that's kelsey. i would have never imagined in a million years that she would be caught up in this kind of situation.

>> not long after kelsey is taken into custody, arrest warrants are issued for jon logan kennison and for diana pena. kennison, it turns out, is at his mother's house in las vegas where he is arrested. diana pena hears that there's a warrant for arrest and does what she thinks is the best thing for her future -- turn herself in. >> once in custody, diana pena starts talking, and for the first time, police will have a shocking firsthand account of exactly what went down inside that house on puritan avenue. >> okay, here we go, chris. >> i just wanted to tell the truth. i get to say my piece and have a little bit of closure. >> mark. ♪ hey dad, i'm almost out. i got you. any questions, chris? all good, thanks maura! there you go, one new inhaler!

so, as she worked her job at caesar's palace and looked after kelsey turner's young son, shy diana pena tried to steer clear of all the drama kelsey loved to stir up. until the night diana saw horror unfold before her. a night she would describe to police, a traumatic night she's talking about in detail for the first time only to "20/20." >> why did you want to share your story with us today? >> i just wanted to tell the truth. i get to say my piece and have a little bit of closure and maybe

also other people might have a little closure, too. >> it was late on saturday night, march 2nd, when diana finished her shift at the colosseum and asked her roommate for a ride home. she got the ride, all right. but when thomas burchard got lost and passed his phone to kelsey so she could use the gps, all hell broke loose on i-15. >> she started going through his phone, and she saw some stuff that she didn't like. messages between her mom and dr. burchard. >> why do you think it upset kelsey so much? >> kelsey said that they were talking about maybe taking her children. she started hitting him, kind of getting a little crazy. they were hitting each other pretty bad. >> so they're going 60 miles an hour and they're fighting? >> yes. >> a screaming, physical fight in front of you?

>> pretty terrifying, especially since it was like on the highway. >> as they arrive at the house on puritan avenue, the fight escalates. and what happens next? >> there was a lot of screaming, smacking. >> kelsey's rage includes those threats to contact burchard's employer with baseless claims of child pornography on his phone. preparing to extort thomas on the basis that she is going to release this damaging material to his reputation, that being child pornography. ultimately resulted in thomas becoming upset and going into the bedroom that he'd been sleeping in and closing the door. >> what was he expressing at that time? >> he kind of seemed a little confused. he just kept saying he loved

kelsey and he didn't know why she was acting like that. >> those are the words he was using? >> yeah. >> he's saying, i love you. >> yeah. >> what is jon logan kennison doing when he sees that his girlfriend is screaming at this old man? >> he kind of seemed surprised at first, and then he started yelling and screaming, too. >> diana's first thoughts are for the little boy. she has a trusted friend whisk him out of the house as kelsey's anger intensifies. so, she's just in the red zone. >> yeah. >> screaming, yelling, throwing things. and you can see that that's having a big effect on jon logan kennison. >> mm-hmm. >> he's going to do something about this. >> yeah. he ran upstairs and he broke down the door. >> what are you going through when these acts of anger and violence are starting to take place? >> just kind of terror, horrified. >> so you're screaming for him to stop? >> yeah. >> and kelsey is doing what? >> she's on the stairs screaming at him to keep going.

>> what happens when he succeeds? >> somehow he got a bat. i don't know where the bat came from. >> and what can you hear or see is taking place after that? >> i just see the bat go up and go in the direction of the doctor, and you could hear it hitting him. so i kind of made my way in there, and i got the bat away from kennison. and i just started screaming at them to stop and, like, calm down. >> what kind of condition was he in at that point? >> he was coherent, but he was hurt pretty good. the doctor's eye was starting to get, like -- like it looked like blood in his eye, and then i just said, let's take him to the hospital. so, we got him to the car, and i helped him in the backseat. and he said that he wanted a jacket.

so i asked kelsey if we could get him his jacket. and so kelsey and mr. kennison went in the house to look for the jacket. >> dr. thomas burchard may be dazed and confused, but he's sharp enough to know one thing -- he may never make it out of this house alive. what are you remembering now? >> i'm sorry. i just feel bad that i didn't -- i -- i sould have believed him. he said, you know they're going to kill me. >> when kennison and kelsey return, it is not to return burchard's jacket. it is to separate the doctor from his only ally. pena is instructed to go upstairs and clean up the mess created during the bedroom fight while the doctor remains in the garage.

the next voice she hears is kelsey's, demanding that jon logan kennison attack dr. burchard. >> she called kennison a bitch, said that she'd seen men knock out guys easier than he's doing. >> kelsey never tries to stop kennison. to the contrary, she's encouraging kennison. >> and she has the ultimate weapon in kennison, right? >> yep. >> he'll hit anything that she wants him to. >> yep. >> he has a firearm with him, and he beats dr. burchard to death. >> a couple minutes later she came out and said, he's gone. the doctor was dead. kennison had killed him. >> kennison ultimately comes out of the garage covered in blood. >> i've never been so scared in my life.

it's just like real terror. and then i just kind of went numb. >> but for pena, the terror is far from over. >> what were you scared of? >> i didn't want them to do what they just did to dr. burchard to me, and i just witnessed it. if you still have symptoms of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. stand up to your symptoms with rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that tackles pain, stiffness, swelling. for some, rinvoq significantly reduces ra and psa fatigue. it can stop further irreversible joint damage. and rinvoq can leave skin clear or almost clear in psa. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer;

dr. thomas burchard has been murdered in kelsey turner's garage, and like a figure from a nightmare, jon logan kennison emerges covered in the doctor's

blood. >> i've never been so scared in my life. it's just like real terror. and then i just kind of went numb. so, i just turned around and started washing dishes 'cause that was the only thing i could do to calm down. >> but kelsey turner had received more than $500,000 from dr. burchard, so what was in it for her to murder her meal ticket? >> why kill the golden goose? >> because he didn't want to be her golden goose anymore. he was going to take it all away. >> he had been her whale. >> yeah. >> according to pena, you know, he's just lifeless. and now they don't know what the hell to do. >> i started freaking out, and then they just started yelling that i need to clean the house up.

he had a gun in his hand. he's covered in blood. i probably would've jumped out the window if he asked me to. i was scared. i didn't want them to do what they just did to dr. burchard to me. kelsey knew him a lot longer than she knew me, and i just witnessed it. >> did you ask yourself even then, why didn't i do more to stop this? >> yeah, some days i don't think i could have really done anything without chancing, putting myself in harm's way. sometimes i wish i didn't come home early. maybe that would have changed something. i guess i'll never know. >> they know that they got a dead guy in a car. so, we can't use that car. they're in a panic. they got to figure out the next step. >> they all flee puritan avenue, ultimately arriving at the rio, s scovered by the transient, who police questioned but ultimately released.

>> even in death, dr. burchard is the gift that keeps on giving, as his credit cards are still being used all over town even to buy cleaning supplies. >> now, four days after burchard is killed, logan tries to get rid of the mercedes with dr. burchard in it. >> what did you hear about what happened to that car? >> it was mr. kennison and a couple of people that went with him, and he said he set the car on fire and left. >> but it had been discovered intact, along with a wealth of evidence. >> police found a prominent california psychiatrist dead inside the trunk of an abandoned car. >> when the news breaks about the discovery of the body, diana, logan, kelsey, and her son are all holed up together at the rio. >> i went down to the front desk, and then kelsey came running and grabbed me. she started freaking out. she said that the police found the doctor in the car and that she thought they were going to come get her.

so she just pulled us into a car. >> they're in such a rush that they leave dr. burchard's bank book with his accounts and some passwords, along with identification for diana and kelsey's driver's licenses. >> from that point on, they bounced around. they stayed at a friend's condo, at a motel 6 down the street from the mgm. >> why aren't you just running out the front door and never coming back? >> i was really scared, scared for my family, my friends. >> so, what happened next? >> we went to california. i didn't have any money, and i kind of lied to them and i told them i know people that can get you jobs that you don't really need an i.d. if they would just let me go. and i left and they said that they would be watching me. they had kelsey's friend drive me to back to vegas.

i got my dog snickers and i got a hold of my mom. >> what was it like to have to tell your parents what had happened? >> it's horrible. it's horrible, because you're terrified and you can see their terror. so we went and turned myself in. >> well, eventually we learned that diana pena is a key piece in investigators learning exactly what happened. in time she takes a plea deal. her charge is reduced from murder to accessory to murder. and part of that is because she's agreeing to help police and prosecutors piece together the moments of dr. burchard's death. >> once police get kelsey in custody, logan finds his way back to las vegas, and ultimately, police arrest him here at his mom's house. >> in july of 2022, kennison

ultimately pled guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy. he was sentenced to 18 to 45 years in prison. >> and i think you can hear that he is genuinely remorseful, that he understands that he committed a terrible crime before the judge imposed her sentence, logan spoke. >> and i'm sorry for everything tha i -- all the pain i caused and everything they have had to go through the entire time. i hope today they'll get the closure they deserve. i think that if you look at the situation, there's no universe where dr. burchard and logan meet without kelsey. and ultimately there's no violence without kelsey instigating it. >> there was definitely a connection between the two. my ultimate impression of her is that she's someone who is capable of getting people to do things for her on her behalf. >> i agree with pam. she is able to spin a story for whatever audience that she has in front of her.

>> kelsey was the ringleader, the puppet master, and she found people that she could control and people that she could manipulate. not only dr. burchard, also logan. >> abc news reached out to logan kennison, and in a letter he told us, quote, i want to help others that were involved in similar situations to hopefully prevent the same from happening and show people that toxic love situations aren't always what they seem. when logan is talking about toxic situations, i view that as a cautionary tale to mind the company you keep. >> one more shocking detail about kelsey turner has yet to come to light. so all this takes place while she's pregnant with a baby? >> yeah, she was -- yeah, very pregnant. >> d

former playboy model kelsey turner made her appearance in court today. turner is accused of killing a california psychiatrist. >> kelsey turner embraced the cameras that were covering her pretrial hearings. she smiled for the cameras, turned around, messed with her hair. looked like nothing was wrong in the world. >> even in court, she kind of viewed her courtroom experience, at least it appeared to me, as part of the extension of her brand, almost like a reality show for her. >> as she's awaiting trial, there's a startling development. kelsey gives birth. that means she was pregnant during the entire sequence of events leading up to thomas burchard's murder. so all this takes place while she's pregnant with a baby? >> yes, mm-hmm. she was, yeah, very pregnant. >> the identity of the father remains a mystery, and kelsey's not talking. but jon logan kennison raises a lot of eyebrows when he holds up a sign in court -- love u lil mama.

>> kelsey turner, in her hearings, was defiant. she was not going to admit any guilt. >> she vows to fight it out in court, but then abruptly changes her tune as her trial nears. >> the former playboy model accused of murdering her ex or boyfriend is taking a plea deal. kelsey turner was set to go to trial for killing her 71-year-old boyfriend. >> the plea deal comes as a surprise to everyone, and then there's a twist -- kelsey is allowed to enter what's known as an alford plea, where she pleas guilty to second-degree murder while still maintaining her innocence. >> the sentencing for second degree murder is set by statute, and that's regardless of what kind of plea she entered, so it really makes no difference in our estimation. >> i think that give you a lot of insight into kelsey. she knows that we can prove the case. she doesn't want to admit to others or maybe even herself her

responsibility in the case. >> good morning, everyone, you can be seated. >> at her sentencing last month, it was made clear that kelsey won't be resuming her insta model career any time soon. >> ms. turner, you arehereby judged guilty of second-degree murder, a felony. you're hereby sentenced to 10 to 25 years in the nevada department of corrections. >> we've always known kelsey turner to play to the cameras wherever they were. this time, she'd rather duck the attention. >> i'll go ahead and let ms. turner speak, and then i'll follow up. do you have anything to say, kelsey? >> no, your honor, i don't. >> but while kelsey remained silent, thomas burchard's longtime girlfriend judy earp spoke out in her victim's impact statement. >> my entire world was viciously ripped from me with the murder of thomas k. burchard. i frequently dream that tom has come home and it was all a big mistake. then i realize that the real nightmare is waking up and knowing that he will never come home. i never realized such evil

existed in this world until this happened. his murder left a huge, gaping hole in the whole community of monterey. >> dr. thomas burchard had a public life and a secret life, but those who knew him back in monterey still stand by the man they knew and trusted. >> really nothing that i heard in the news changed my opinion about who he was. i know that he wasn't a bad person at all. and for what happened to him, ws just -- it's absolute tragedy. >> i miss tom everyday. you know, some days it's harder. >> in your heart, do you still love thomas burchard? >> yeah. you know, and i don't think there's any real getting over it

or moving on or resuming your life. i don't, i don't. and i will have to keep going forward, even if it's one step, one foot in front of the other. >> and that is our program for tonight. thank you for watching. i'm david muir, and from all of us here at "20/20" and abc news, good night.
