interrogation room after an internal investigation. he is charged with embezzlement and will now serve two years probation for taking monterey moon's money. officer chapman took an alford plea, which means he gets to maintain his innocence while accepting the judge's punishment. he'll now serve a minimum of two years probation and complete a cognitive behavioral intervention course. i wanted to get more ins into cases like this, and i sat down with louis bolaños, a former homicide investigator and a victim's advocate. louis, you have investigated a lot of police misconduct. how common is what we just saw? >> yes, ma'am. that's true. unfortunately, it is very common. but this case has a little twist to it because i love to see this. the officers who were challenged with this allegation acted so quickly. >> pretty impressive, right? >> very impressive. >> because at first you're thinking like, who's going to
1:36 pm
believe him, right? >> right. and yeah, let's be fair, there are many false allegations out there, especially when it comes to money missing. so they did the right thing. >> so you as a former officer who investigated other dirty cops, how does this fit into the kind of investigations that you've done? >> well, just, you know, just hearing this happen, you know, that this, of course, is going to happen. and continue to happen until there's some way of calling officers or making this really stupid decision. >> why do you think that ex-officer chapman may have done this before? >> i think it's very likely he did this type of thing before the need to steal money. i don't think this is the first time looke he's been on for 15 years. he's been an officer for quite a while now. >> a case of marriage and murder. you know, the vows to love and to honor until death do us part. well, most married couples never imagined that they will be separated just days later, one montana couple faced that horrible outcome, and the death led homicide investigators to a stunning conclusion.
