hear from him at all >> that was in june 2013 11 months before justin wa shot to death, and she told th detective all that so odd, to say the least, bu angie swore that she couldn' remember the guy's last name >> do you remember last name yet? >> i keep trying dave, dave, dave, dave, dave i do not know why, i am trying -- >> really? detective hopper turned up the heat >> one of the first things i asked you in the beginning was before justin, i said who were you in a relationship where if you said andy. you love dave out. for whatever reason, and i

doesn't matter at this point is there any possibility that, with dave or anyone else that, while you are being with justin, that you maintained relationship with anyone >> no. >> and then, finally, afte more than 30 minutes o questions of this dave guy it's suddenly came to her, she said >> i remember dave's last name by the way >> and that is >> we, david moffitt another dead and most likely but remember that business about luck it was useful -- the most useful investigativ tool there is. coming up, new suspicions ar raised as detectives realize two of the people in the cas are connected by one remarkabl coincidence. >> 10,000 people here in the des moines, whatever the odd that they would be in the same -- >> coincidences. sometimes they come in clusters,

don't they >> another office person heard the name and recognized dave moffitt. and she immediately said, he had a car impounded this morning. well perhaps within 30 minutes of the homicide. >> when dateline continues the abcs of ckd a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors. kerendia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood.

ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium. kerendia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, remember, k is for kidneys, and if you need help slowing kidney damage, ask your doctor about kerendia. ♪ crunchy ♪ ♪ tasty ♪ ♪ sweet or savory ♪ ♪ always satisfying ♪ ♪ gimme blue diamond! ♪ ♪ crunchy, tasty, sweet or savory ♪ ♪ always satisfying ♪ ♪ gimme blue diamond! ♪ ♪ crunchy, tasty. sweet or savory, ♪ ♪ always satisfying, gimme- ♪ blue diamond almonds. with a majority of my patience with sensitivity, i see irritated gums and weak enamel. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum health, and rehardens enamel. i'm a big advocate of recommending things that i know work.

the name the name of the men she date just before she met justin michael. david moffitt. and who was he a sometimes local accountant for one thing, but also th sign - sun of a wealthy iowa farm family not very memorable, said angie just a guy who liked havin fun. though there was, she said this one remarkabl coincidence. a couple of months after she stopped seeing david and jus before she got introduced to just and david got a job at the sam small unit at the same wells fargo office building as justin david left after some kind o -- months before the murder but what were the chances? third tests were just feet apart. >> and did he know that justin was dating you >> he figured out that justi was dating me. >> justin told his parents about it

>> he just said it was a awkward situation, but there was no problem the alignment of that wa astronomical - >> 10,000 people here in des moines, what are the odds that they would be in the same -- >> the same cubicle, they were >> but they got on fine, never any bad blood. and david moffitt had no criminal record. so should detectives add him t their list of suspects >> at this point, i don't know if i have the complete story regarding dave, or not >> coincidences sometimes come in clusters, don't they? not long after angles -- angie's memory coughed up dave moffitt, there was another coincidence. >> we felt we needed t continue and focus on dave and see where that leads us. the first scene that was don was a background makeup of dave to include to see if he had weapons permit and so, while i check for th

weapons permit was being another person or heard th name and recognized dave moffitt, and she immediately said that he had a car impounded this morning not only was it impounded, i was impounded approximatel within 30 minutes of the homicide approximately at 4:00 in the morning. and was six miles approximat north of where the homicid occurred and dave mott had reside approximately 28 miles southeast of where the homicid occurred >> wow, well that would be a red flag, for sure >> to further investigation we learned that he had had an accident >> so they put the acciden report and read about those tw cops and their strange encounter just off highway 141 at 4:00 that morning a place which, by all rights cory rose should never hav been the particular morning, but life happens to everybody. and early on the 8th of ma 2014, officer rose was adjusting. >> i was back from the hospita in des moines, my fiancée' grandma was ill in the

hospital still in his own close, not in uniform, he was on his way to 5 am patrol shift with where officer rose is an investigator with the loca police department. and it was very dark on th highway. no moon at all at that hour. so he almost missed it, there, in the ditch, maybe 30 yards weekend what did you see >> as i straight up the road, saw a car off here, to my righ we, sitting on top of the ditc just on the other side of this poll >> just over here where th grass -- >> right sitting there with the driver' door was opening week. the door was - what >> ship missed a shar curve on a gravel access road. so cory was pulled up next t the crashed car. >> and as soon as a stopped, i noticed that nobody was in the car, no one around the car

and i sit in my vehicle. someone, a male approach m vehicle, and he knocked on m door when he came behind me the knock on my window kind of startled me a little bit he was asking if he could ge some assistance to get a rid offered to pay me to get a ride i told him that i didn't fee do comfortable doing so. >> between that and having t get to work and does not being his jurisdiction, corey called his dispatch i said hey, i'm out here can you see if you can get someone to get out here. they said that they ha somebody as soon as possible they're tied up on a shootin in grimes. >> so cory left for his shift. and then jason tart, responded to the dispatch later. all he knew was that there had been an accident >> so it hit that ditch at som speed there? >> he was going pretty fast. >> just missed the corner?

>> was he glad to see you? >> i don't if he was glad to see me - >> i mean, you were potentiall going to rescue him from a bad situation. >> he saw someone that could help him, i don't know if sh was necessarily happy to see me >> david told him he was on hi way home from visiting his brother that night >> i basically asked him, ther is no way and chance that yo are visiting a friend an grimes tonight >> why would you bring that up >> there had just been withi an hour a homicide taking plac in grimes, the suspect was still unaccounted for -- >> and you have a guy sweating and smelling sweet >> exactly >> what did he say >> i don't even know where the town is. >> everything about david made the deputy feel anxious. >> all the hair, not on my head, but on my body was standing on edge >> that's weird, he is a regular guy, didn't seem to be

armed or anything, you are cop you have a weapon, and you are still nervous. >> i did a path down for weapons, because if you ar going to sit in my car, you're not gonna have a weapon on >> but he still made you nervous? >> extremely nervous >> turned out david hadn't bee drinking, there was no reaso to arrest him, still, th deputy's instincts kicked in >> so i look through his car and i couldn't find insuranc so i impounded for not havin insurance. >> not that it was drivabl anyway, he sent david home in cab. after reading deputies report, the detectives knew they had t act fast there could be clues still, on highway 1:41, and surprises to the media people, and shimmery saw hovering around the hous had no idea what had jus happen to justin michael bedroom in the middle of the night, the reporters knew only

this, they had been sent her because of a suspicious deat and it was related, somehow, t this house and then, as they waited for somebody to tell them something, they got a tip local reporters stephanie moor -- >> we heard that the sheriff's deputy was walking the field so that would be the highway you would take from des moines to go to grimes, they were walking the field and we wer asking are you looking for a body are you looking for someone? no are you looking for a weapon we can say the public is not in any danger, we think that what's happene in grimes is related to this >> and they're walking up an down looking for something? >> in a line so they don't mis anything kind of how they do when there is a missing child we thought maybe they were looking for a gun, a weapon. >> good guess, in fact the small army of cops was looking for anything that looked lik evidence, because hours earlie david moffatt's car went off

the road and facts were piling up he had worked with justin, dated angie, and breakfast car the morning up the murder just six miles away of course, that peaked our interest very quickly. >> that move david at the to of the list. >> the prosecutor had been involved all along >> we sent the detectives in the patrol officers to tha location, highway 141, to se what else they could find in that area that could be of use or telling in terms of the investigation. >> that's why the locals saw all these police officer wandering up and down the fiel as if they were looking fo something? they were. >> they were >> imagine what they found there in the ditch along the highway. >> probably the most important thing is that they found loade magazines that had the sam type of ammo that was found at the crime scene, the shell casings find at the scen matched that kind of ammunitio

found in the ditch on highwa 141. >> right where the car crashed >> across the highway, and a little bit further down, but within 500 yards of where th crash occurred they also located in that ditc some paper targets so you us that for target practice some shooters earmuffs a camo neck cloth that you could wear as a mask >> like somebody preparing for a night of terror. or an execution. clearly, david had to be the killer and then, you know what they say about assumptions. the cops found something els near the accident scene. sort of thing that could make person wonder, what's in heaven's name is going on here it was one little thing in a shoe box >> the shoes were not in it bu there was various paperwork. one of the things that wer found was a receipt from a

local car dealership and the receipt was for a purchase o three oil changes, it had th name of andrew wagner. >> and true, the boyfriend angie lived with before justin weird, another guy without a criminal record, another apparently, ordinary person. the des moines funeral directo in his case. and yet, there it was in black and white among all those othe pieces of evidence andrew how did he explain that? >> at that time, you don't >> so, did andy kill justi michael? the man who replaced him i angie's heart? >> we immediately went t andrew's place of business and brought him back t headquarters for questioning and we asked him about his relationship with angie. >> and more to the point perhaps, his relationship, o the lack of it, with justin. >> have you ever met justin? >> once. >> where was that at >> it was at joe's pub

>> just random, run in, or was it a gathering - >> it was a gathering with a group of friends it was the engagement party. >> was just in the person wh wasn't a relationship after yo broke up with her was ther someone else >> there might have been someone else - >> you don't know? >> no. the last time you talk to angie? >> she sent texted me saying happy birthday, and i said okay, thanks >> i'm asking andy about whether or not he is missing anything, and he never tells m about the receipt for the oi changes. >> the receipt in the shoe box the reason for suspicion and all these questions. >> i stay on the receipt because that is where my interest is that, and he believes that he is in possession of the receipt. >> and he said he thought th receipt was in his car or in his house. >> if it turned out somewher else, how would that happen? if it's somewhere other than your car or home -

>> i threw it away, that would be about it. >> any ideas how it could turn up in this investigation >> no. >> and then detective harper asked andy about guns. >> do you go shooting at all >> shooting? >> yes, do you - >> i have a 12 gauge i haven't shot it in six years >> you have any handguns >> no. >> okay. >> and what he did the night before >> yesterday, what time did yo get off work >> yesterday i got off at four >> okay, can you walk me through what's occurred from four until we showed up at you doorstep this morning? >> and he said he spent th evening and night with his

girlfriend >> you spend the night at your girlfriend >> yes >> how long have you been with >> three years >> as our security there >> no. >> is it a safe area >> yes >> is it gated >> no. >> cameras to get? in >> no >> he spent the night with his current girlfriend at that time, and we verified that before he left the office, before he had a chance to make a phone cal or anything else >> at least according to his girlfriend >> according to the girlfriend yes. >> that would give him an alib -- >> that would give him an alib whether that was preconceive or whether it was legitimate w did not know >> and he swore detectives would find no evidence against him in grimes. >> when was the last time yo were in grimes, for any reason >> that was a basketball court that was a while ago -

>> what's a while ago to you >> three weeks, a month, 3 to weeks, at least. it's been a while. a bunch of guys get together and we pay five bucks and we are able to shoot around thi place for a couple of hours. >> let me double check to make sure - >> the detectives exhauste their questions. we put andy back to work apparently, in the clear unaware that andy's name was about to turn up one more time in a very suspicious place >> coming up - investigators up and looking for a single killer. but a fresh clue may send this investigation in a whole new direction. when dateline continues.

everything's changing so quickly. before the xfinity 10g network, we didn't have internet that let us play all at once. every device? in every room? why are you up here? when i was your age, we couldn't stream a movie when the power went out. you're only a year older than me. you have no idea how good you've got it.

huh? what a time to be alive. introducing the next generation 10g network. >> justin didn't deserve this. only from xfinity. the future starts now.

he always thought of everybody else, always wanted to do fo other people >> as much in love as angi said she was, the detectives had learned over the years, yo never know, they needed to search her phone, see who sh talked to in the hours and day just before justin was shot to death. they also got a search warrant for david's house, and inside, they didn't find the murde weapon they did find these strang notes, seem to have been written by someone who had bee watching justin and and he's neighborhood >> the surveillance note listed addresses in th immediate area of the crim scene. very specific about when

neighbors were turning on an off their lights, the cree behind the house is it wide enough so i can cross, it look like a way to make an escape once the murder was done >> but then, they found woul look like the mother lode. a bill of sale >> it was in indies name, bu there it is in dave's house. >> the name of the document, bold as brass was indeed andes how was that remotely possible it's more evidence to suppor that there are some sort o conspiracy involved here >> it's too early to rul anybody out and we wanted to find out if andy was the actua purchaser of that weapon fortunately that bill of sal gave us the lead to where th weapon came from >> his name was right there, true ball man. and here he is, he is a smal town high school english teacher. in a little place 90 miles o

so from des moines there is something you can d with a degree in english >> yes, there is i love my job. >> an english teacher who like to tell stories, and this on -- >> sort of thing that coul make an interesting plot for a novel? >> a novel perhaps >> drew is a self nerd, he als is a target shooter and a meta detective enthusiast, he i digging up old coins and such, loves it mind you, there's only so much a person can find usin equipment that - to say down market is abou cruel. >> the one i wanted was $600 >> are you out of your mind, you would spend that much mone on the >> you could spend up to $90 on a metal detector. >> you are an upper case nerd? >> you would say [laughter]

>> he could solve a gun and bu the new meddled tech - >> i listed it online, it' like craig's list for gun -- >> what did you ask for? it >> $360 for it. >> about a month later he got nibble by email. >> i told them that i needed cash and i needed a photo i. d., so i knew he was who he said h was and that he was at least 21 >> what did he say he was? >> he said that his name was anti-, and that was the emai address he had contacted me as well >> where did you meet? >> i work at a gas station it's public, their cameras i the area and if something ba were to happen i know of a least two or three people that are there and would come to my rescue >> it's at the kind of thing you have to do when you sell a weapon >> that's the kind of thing do when i saw a weapon because i have entirely too much t lose i have a family, i have a job, i love them both, i did no want to jeopardize those we met at the station, i showe

him the rifle and that i fille out a bill of sale, i wanted t make sure that this wa trackable, i kept a copy, he kept a copy, we reviewed everything to make sure that i was what he wanted and mak sure everything was okay >> you saw his photo i. d. - >> i saw this photo i. d.. >> how carefully did you, yo know, store the information. >> i'm a pack rat by nature, m teacher nature, you don't thro anything away. so all of the emai conversations that he and i had, i kept, all the text message between he and i, i kept i still had pictures that i ha originally posted, those are m home computer, and as he was leaving, again, to cover mysel i wrote down his license plate number >> you are careful guy >> i am. >> for the very limite interaction that i had with hi he was very nice, very normal. he asked me how to load it, showed him how >> that was it, off he went. >> off he went >> and then, a few days later, the school secretary gave drew

a message, a county detectiv wanted to talk to him righ away >> in my very first thought, i said i interpreted the law wrong when i looked at the close and i'm going to jail. >> you immediately thought about selling that weapon? >> why else would a county b calling me, i was going to jail >> scary thought >> very scary, because i had taken so many precautions. i called the detective and h said did you sell a firear recently, and that was m second thought, yes i am going to jail. i have completely screwe everything up, and i told hi yes i did. he asked me to describe what i was, i told him was a 9 mm car beam he said drew, we have reason t believe that that weapon was used in the commission of crime. and my heart just sank what happened? i have no idea, he told me i was used in the murder and i looked it up on my phone what that does to you, i

unwillingly took part, i was a accessory in somebody's path - >> you felt that way, that you were an accessory? >> how would you feel? i sold something to a man, to person who later use that to take someone's life. >> yeah. >> terrible. >> oh god, and still today i've rationalize this, i wen to a counselor about this, i still feel bad about it. >> what's the expression, guns don't kill people, people kill people >> and i still believe that. but i provided them that method >> later that day, detective harper drove out to meet withdrew who turned over all the emails and text messages h had saved. as well as photos of the rifle three ammo magazines, a scope, and a red laser pointe attached to the weapon, part o the deal >> i asked him if he had any shell casings from the weapo that he sold, he went and came back shortly after and had 6 casings. >> wow

person who likes to keep things >> yes, most of those casing were nine millimeters. >> the same one that were foun at the murder scene? >> and at the crash that >> but who bought the gun? >> we still don't know where we're at between dave and andy >> could drew ideal guy in the photo lineup >> coming up - detectives showed drew picture of dave and andy >> he said that is very odd, this is strange. >> when dateline continues l.♪ ♪breeze driftin' on by...♪ ♪...you know how i feel.♪ you don't have to take...

>> while the investigation raced forward, the investigators told justin' family nothing didn't tell them they found th man who stole the murder weapon, nor that they had to figure ou who he actually sold it to because surely whoever bough the gun must have been the killer >> i asked him at that point t look at the photo lineups, the first set of six photographs i showed him contain the photo o david, he looked at it and h said i can't be 100% certain he said, the guy had a hat o and sunglasses on i wish h took it out, and he pointed at the picture of david and said, i'm 90% sure that's the person i sold the gun to. >> what happened when he looke at the picture involving andy? >> when i showed him the photo lineup with andy, he looked at it and he immediately looked a it and pointed at andy and sai that is very odd, this i strange. he was confused. he goes, that looks like the id,

that looks like the person i sold the gun to. he picked up both of them. so, we still had mor questions. >> it was all very confusing didn't help that david and and looked similar so, one last thing to try. earlier when deputies searched david's house they found the bill of sale for that --, bu they also discovered a receipt for lemonade and a candy bar bought at $1 general store i the very town where the rifl was purchased. >> so i requested the vide from that store, the person wh walks into the store still wearing the hat and sunglasses that are hanging on their shirt, the video is david, he purchases lemonade and a candy bar. >> which may have settled th question of who picked up th murder weapon. but here was another question, how did david get a hold o

andy's i. d. the detectives had all kinds o reasons for wanting to talk to david. they picked him up about 1 hours after the shooting, took him to headquarters, installed him in an interview room and n dice >> he requested a lawyer >> just like that, you're done >> i sat there for an hour wit him, offering him a phone book a means to reach his attorney, because we still wanted to attempt to talk with him, an even if his attorney was present, he never reached an attorney >> david wouldn't talk, but it hardly mattered, the evidenc they already had was enough to arrest him and charged him wit first degree murder. by now detectives understood that angie had nothing to do with the murder and what seeme like a lack of emotion, an worries to, was shock. pure shock in fact the thought that david could be the man who killed th love of her life hit angie while she was still bein questioned and finally after

her apparent with calm she was overcome >> when dave came up, we talke about that and the detective came back with a picture o him. >> do you know this person >> that's dave >> and i said that's him, and immediately started shaking of and was visibly upset. what if he had something to do with it? and i caused all this the detective was like what' going on and i said if he is the one wh did it - it's all my fault. >> what do you mean by that? >> because i was the one who had broken off the relationship, i was the one who ignored hi the next day >> you really think if you hadn't ignored him he woul become mr. sweetness alive

>> well, no, but, i felt like brought this monster int justin's life. >> but the prosecutors neede more evidence if they wanted t prove that david was the man and she saw is a monster how for example did david ge an i.d. with andrew's name o its, unless andrew was somehow involved >> one of the discoverie during that first search warrant was a computer box for a laptop, and that laptop wa never found in the first searc warrant. >> so the prosecutors wrote second search warrant, and voila, they found it, but mayb too late >> they discovered it in the bottom of a red tub that had a few inches of water in the bottom of it >> and you know how computer hate water but the water logged lapto wasn't all they found.

>> the red tub ended up being gold mine of evidence. >> like what >> they found ammunition, it ended up being consistent with the ammunition found at th crime scene. >> and remember that shoe bo they found near the car crash? it was a novato's brand shoe box and in david red tub, what do you know. >> in that red tub were thos shoes, size 11 >> it's almost like he was laying the trap for himself. >> absolutely. >> they set the wet laptop off to the computer lab hoping maybe, techs could fin something on it. and, surprise, surprise, the did. >> and off of that computer, w were able to find the work tha david had done to create a fak i. d. in andy's name >> that's the one he presented to the school teacher drew, he also created a fake and th email address, and stole tha oil service received fro

andy's car, all of which mad it obvious, said the prosecutor, david planned the ge taway b framing a perfectly innocent man, andy. what kind of a mind is behin that sort of behavior? >> very cold, calculating, tremendous amount of plannin and premeditation that wen into this murder and he tried to execute it s that he would not be blamed, h would get away with it >> remember that sweatshir left behind after the shooting as if the killer had bee sloppy >> in the sweatshirt was a boa registration that we could not figure out why it was there an what it's meaning was at the time, ultimately several month later we learned that the boat registration belonged to the father of the registered sex offender that lived within a few blocks away from the crime scene, once we made that connection it was anothe attempt to cast the blame on somebody else.

>> convicting david of first degree murder should be as eas as a task as a prosecutor coul ask for, or maybe not. coming up -- revelations no one would believe. that's pretty crazy, isn't it? when dateline continues.

>> finally said tv reporte stephanie moore, after month of secrecy they gathered i june 2015 in the coat hous into mourn for the trial the prosecutors revealed all o those details behind the murde of justin michael, first tim the public heard any of it first time justin's family and fiancée finally understood wha happened >> the detectives and th prosecutors had shared n information with us other than the fact of who they arrested. >> and the little they learned during the pre trial hearing could be confusing and painful >> as things started to come out a little bit i texted andy and i said, how did he get you i. d.? and he was like, i don't know, and i just had that feeling of what if andy had something t do with this >> but, prosecutors have goo reasons for keeping the detail of their cases from the public and even from the family

>> we don't want the publicity of the evidence to taint the jury panel >> but now as the trial began, they were confident they had all the evidence they needed even without the still missing murder weapon. what happened to it? i mean, he crashed the car apparently, right away, he either got rid before that o -- >> our theory, at least, i that some between him gettin home before the murder and officers doing that extensiv search and being arrested that evening, he was able to ge back and retrieve the weapon and throw it in the lake >> and then once it's in the lake, there is no way you're gonna find it? >> not without a lot of work >> with all the other evidence collected, prosecutors fel they had enough. >> with the physical evidenc that we were able to get specifically from drew and a the homicide scene and at davi 's house, from a ballistic perspective we were able t connect all of those dots.

>> the state showed the jury ammunition, magazines, targets for practice shooting, david's reconnaissance notes, a ma containing justin' neighborhood, a can of peppe spray, even a flash flood that for all of david's careful planning ultimately betrayed him. it was something that caught the attention of justi siblings >> there are two times h reacted significantly in the whole trial and one was when they found the fingerprint o the battery of the flashligh and he wore gloves when he was carrying the flashlight but no when he was putting th batteries in, and when he said that he went - >> as of david understood hi error. it was at the trial, sai justin's mom, where she learne what the red light in her eyes was. it was not some kind of strang

flashlight that she thought, i was a red laser pointer, mos likely attached to the murde weapon >> pointed at my face, that is a very sobering thought. sitting at the trial, a broa back a lot of trauma issues an that being one of them and the other thing that reall bothered me was finding ou that this guy had the gun si inches from justin's face when he shot him four times >> because we had thought that he was in the hallway at the doorway and somehow it makes i more invasive to know that h is that close and -- >> it was an execution, yeah >> you look at somebody's face and make that choice to kill them - to me, that's just beyon troubling.

it's just unfathomable, still. like the twilight zone >> the prosecutor say david' computer searches were last, and then the jury and everybod else heard would david looke up on his laptop the day before the murder. a window into the mind of killer the only murderin murder guide you will ever need seriously. convicted crimes of passion, traffic cameras in what' grimes, hell look like and so on. interesting that he would aske what's hell looks like >> there is some reference t the confessional time. >> that is times when some local priest would be available, a priest whose oath would sell him to secrecy >> he obviously was concerne about what was going to happen to him had he committed this murder

>> that day where all th computer stuff came out was particularly brutal day in court for me, it was hard fo me to handle, i had to leave decided i couldn't go back i the afternoon it was overwhelming >> it was too hard to hear, yo couldn't go back, but what mad it so hard >> just seeing my name justin' name, he had googled my name looked at my facebook page o whatever for months seeing the

location from where he was t our house and to know that h was that close >> and here you were, oblivious, living to the happiest days of your life. >> yes >> in his closing, prosecuto steve told jury what must have happened >> david was obviously fixated on angie, she broke off with him and that caused him some pain and hurt, and then that wound would reopened when he started working with justin an justin wound up getting engage and david would be concerned about the fact that it was justin that was with angie and that he couldn't be with her because of him >> so he gradually formed plan that somehow he was going to get rid of justin possibly even get angie back again. i realize that there is a high bar to cross to be considere insane, by the legal system, but that's pretty crazy, isn't it >> well, he had a goal and h worked to achieve that goal. so his trying to commit this murder, trying to plan and mak sure that he got away with it.

>> maybe, and maybe somethin else was going on. maybe david could blam somebody or something else sure enough, he did. with a legal defense that coul defeat the best evidence in th world. david moffatt had no intention of going to prison >> coming up the verdict. >> almost gave you chills up your spine >> when dateline continues ronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands

that's been saving people money for nearly 60 years. for a great low rate, and nearly 60 years of quality coverage- go with the general. rarely, is a prosecution s

replete with a killer's motive and awful deeds. rarely does that evidence so clearly portray such planning, such devious a man who knew exactly what he was doing when he murdered justin michael, said the prosecution. then, it was time for th defense -- >> that was the worst day of the trial. >> ladies and gentlemen -- >> defensive tierney keith ray did not dispute the wealth o evidence all truth, and mystery

big david moffatt did kill just, inside the defense because h was legally insane therefore, not guilty. >> the facts in this case ca be disputed. the fact that this happens because of a mental diseas isn't really in dispute becaus this makes no sense otherwise. what's happens here, for lac of a better term, is crazy >> why should the jury believe that this was the star witness, dr. peter brayden, the famous, i controversial, psychiatrist. he condemned the use o psychotropic drugs he testified that david ha been taken antidepressants o and off for years, and what'david did was the drug' fault. >> i think the whole thing evolves out of a progressive hampering of his brain from th drugs. >> it was drug induced violence, the doctor told the jury drug induced murder.

back in the courtroom, and she listed it and upset would no be quite the right word. >> it was laughable, almost. how much money they had to spend to find this guy who's gonna say exactly what the defense wants him to say >> were you afraid the jur would buy it >> of course you're always a little afraid because it's scary to think that he could potentially get off with a insanity plea. the more he talked, the more i was -- it was frustrating to sit ther and listen to him. >> you walk into somebody' bedroom -- >> yes it's horrible. >> he told you he thought abou whether it was right or wrong, right? >> no, he told me in the beginning he thought about

whether it was right or wrong, and then it didn't enter his mind anymore it was like he was in a vide game, or an activity that wa outside of the normal reality. he even thought about killin somebody else. toward the end, he's jus become - i believe, the victim of thi manic episode driven by th drugs. it just wasn't him >> it's the jury that does mak the decision, right? >> they do >> you never know what a jur is going to do it's always an anxious momen when you're trying to wait for them to return a verdict >> oh, but it wasn't a moment. hour after hour they waited. and then, almost seven hours later -- >> the judge asks, do we have verdict? the jury says they do. >> do you find the defendant

guilty of murder in the firs degree >> if david moffatt felt anything in that moment, h didn't show it >> nothing stone cold reaction. almost gave you chills up your spine. the >> insanity defense clearl did not work >> the threshold that you have to reach for the insanit defense is not understanding the nature and consequence o your actions, or not understanding right or wrong you look at the degree o premeditation, the degree of planning that went into that those are not the actions of a insane person. >> it does nothing to brin justin back. >> it would've been horrific i he had not been found guilty it did help. >> can you imagine if that person was still free in our society? who knows who we would'v attacked next? and he would've. >> i think he would've >> i think he enjoyed th planning and seeing if he coul

accomplish hid task. >> the verdicts are always hard, i think, because nobody ever wins in the situation. this family is obviously still in pain. the moffatt family is in pai as well. there really is no winner here we want to hold him responsibl for what he did, and the jury' verdict did. >> would they have caught hi without those lucky breaks had david moffatt not lost control of his car on that gravel road, how the cop not spotted the wreck off in the dark - if you hadn't stopped, if yo went on your merry way - >> my involvement was just a citizen driving up the road. >> how the deputies instinct not pushed him to seize david' car, he probably would've been caught, eventually but, - what do you think about this now, when you look back on it? >> thankful. very thankful that i trust i my gut because we're trying to

do that from day one it's the only thing that you have to back you up when you'r by yourself. >> sure. if somebody seems a little hanky, maybe he is >> you need to investigate i further. it's not prying, it's trying t figure out if there's somethin more to the story than wha you're hearing a lot of the times, winchester got its right. >> neither david moffatt or hi attorney agreed to b interviewed. he appealed and lost his sentence was mandatory i iowa life without parole. cool comfort for justin' family, only photos of him now memories of the good person he was. habitat for humanity, hi favorite charity, built a hous in his honor his colleagues at wells farg worked on it >> it's the perfect memorial for him. >> he would've liked to se something good come out of the terrible thing that happened

>> there's a thing that happen to people when they trul grieve is involuntary, and i takes a long time. >> grief is a wave sometimes it just fills you an it takes you away and it happens less frequently no than it did six months or nine months ago but it's still debilitating. and we knew then tha physically he was gone, and in our hearts we still haven't le him go >> it's just still hard to believe that a person could be that evil. evil is only where i could think of inhuman. to do something like that. >> he just seems like he was a spoiled, he didn't get his way and he took justin's life fo no reason. >> and the woman at the center

of it all, what kind of a life would she have had with him? a thought, perhaps, best lef packed away, like a lot of things >> i had a wedding dress, th house's book, the venue booked catering booked. we were just a little over two months out >> boy oh boy, a wedding dress is such a symbol what do you do with a thin like that? where do you put it >> i haven't even looked at it >> where do you put it >> it's in my mom's basement she's moved a couple of time and it's in her basement >> i'm craig melvin. and this is dateline >> it's shocking it just kind of, you go into crisis mode.
