the internet, searched her out, saw that she was a broker, felt like she had money. >> luis described in detail what he claimed happened, he says when he contacted beverley above the house showing, she told him she did not feel comfortable meeting just him, so he got his wife crystal on the phone to say she would be there to. >> aaron shows up, he goes in and make some excuse as to why krystal could not come. aaron tells me that he had beverley take photographs of the house of their phone. >> so that explain why the photos the detective had seen were dark and blurry. luis said he had asked beverley dissenting to krystal so she couldn't be there. >> he said they walked upstairs, and when they got to the stairs, he pulled out a flashlight taser, and told her that she was about to have a bad day. and she asked, what are you talking about? he said you are being kidnapped. >> beverley must have been just absolutely terrified. >> no doubt, no doubt. >> luis then claimed he had an

accomplice, and he was not talking about his wife who had set up the meeting with beverley, it was someone else. >> he said of anything happened to beverley, trevor done it. >> trevor is a guy that aaron actually lived through a short period of time. >> to this give you some hope that maybe there was an accomplice here? and that maybe he did have beverley? >> i had hoped that we were going to find beverley alive, you have to, that's what keeps you going. >> luis said the last time he saw beverley she was with trevor, and then offered evidence that she might still be alive. luis played a recording from his phone, and it was chilling. >> carl, it's beverley, i just want to let you know it's okay, i have not been harmed. just do what he says, and please do not call the police. if you call the police, it could be bad. just want you to know i love you very much. >> it was encouraging, but it only prove beverley was alive at the time of the recording. the detective told luis he

needed more. >> and that is when he finally says, i will take you to the last place that she was. >> so this is a big moment now? >> yes. >> in this whole case? this is it? >> yes. that's really load him up, and we start going to cabot, arkansas. >> beverley's family prayed this nightmare was about two and. >> did you know that aaron lewis was saying that your mom was alive? >> yes. we knew that after they had had him and they were interrogating him. >> that was a big boost of energy. when he was telling us, it was so uplifting. we were like okay, we are about to get her back, that's great. >> is everybody just sitting on the phone waiting for the call? we got her? >> pacing. >> lewis lead detective allison on a nail-biting road trip 30 miles out of town to the last place he claimed to have seen beverley alive. i shared on the side of the road. >> what are you thinking as you are approaching the shed, that there is a really good chance

you could be here, or not so sure? >> i am hoping like heck she is in there. we go in, she was not in there, she had never been in there. >> that is such a let down. >> tell me about it. it was bad. it was very bad. >> but lewis was not done, he had a captive audience and he knew it. he took the police to a new location, a house about 35 miles away. >> and he says, where this is where i initially took her, after abducted her. until we walked in, there was nothing. >> another lockdown? >> another lockdown. >> are you feeling like this guy is taking us on a wild goose chase? >> yes. i was so mad that i could not drive him back, i had to write back with another detective. >> there is a woman's life that could be at stake, he is messing with the police. >> playing games. playing games. >> while lewis was leaving detectives on this wild goose chase, another cop had tracked

down at this trevor, the man lewis claimed it was his accomplice. >> we figured out he was in the military, in the iraq air force base, we did make contact with him, actually interviewed him. >> they interrogated trevor for several hours, then, let him go. >> he was not even in town when this happened. >> he had an hour in clad alibi? >> absolutely. we confirmed through his job, through the air force base, with their office of special and assignation that he was on base that day. >> lies after lies. there was no accomplice, neither location turned up anything. police were running out of options. and then detective allison thought of one more possibility, a cement plant called argos, where lewis had recently worked. >> i point blank asked him if beverley was argos? at that point, he was looking down the table. when he said that he looked up, and he said this stupid look on his face. i figured right then that was

probably where she was at. >> police raced over the factory hoping to find beverley alive. >> coming up, another game from aaron lewis. >> i was so mad about how dare you try to tarnish our sweet beverages reputation? >> and at last, an answer for her family. >> they said we found beverley. >> when dateline continues. trelegy for copd. ♪birds flyin' high, you know how i feel.♪ ♪breeze driftin' on by...♪ ♪...you know how i feel.♪ you don't have to take...

carter disappeared, police pulled up to this remote summit plant. they frantically search for the missing real estate agent. >> you just now have this gut feeling that that is where she's at? >> yes. >> shortly after arriving, an officer stumbled on something street of a crime novel. an elbow sticking out of a shallow grave. it was beverley. detective allison went to see karen. >> you never forget the look on somebody's face when you tell them that they found their spouse. it is hard. that is probably the hardest part of it. >> they said, we found beverley. i said well, was she alive? and, no. i'm sorry, but she was not. >> we worked so hard, i mean, to find her. we just really tried to do right, and it was not enough. >> i know she pleaded, i know

she pleaded for her life, and to be sent back to us, and for her grand babies. i just have to know that god is there comforting her. >> aaron lewis was charged with murder and kidnapping, and his wife krystal lowry charged with his accomplice. they pleaded not guilty, but his worst reporter shannon miller outside the serious office did not sound like those of an innocent man. >> why beverley? why beverley? >> she was a rich broker. >> it was just as chilling in person as it was on tv, and then he gets into the car, and you are going, what did he just say? >> two weeks later, shannon interviewed lewis in jail, and he told a vastly different story from the one he had told detectives. >> was he willing to calk to anything? >> no. >> i did not kill her. i did not murder her. anything that did occur was an

accident. >> then, he tried to say beverley played a role in her own death. he implied she willingly met him at the house for a sexual hookup that went wrong. >> i went out with her to show the home, it was a place to meet. >> in your opinion, how farfetched was this new story about the sexual encounter? >> it was 100% made up. so was completely farfetched. >> assistant district attorney john johnson was assigned the case. he believed it was a kidnapping gone wrong, but needed help proving it in court. he turned to lewis wife krystal lowry. >> i thought from the very beginning that we would need to flip crystal, and it will be important for the case to testify. >> he made a deal with krystal, she agreed to testify against her husband, and plead guilty to murder and kidnapping, in exchange for a due sentence of 30 years. >> it is good for the jury to be able to hear, you know, the

back story of what went on, and the y of what went on. >> aaron lewis went on trial. the prosecution's star witness, krystal lowery, took the stand and told the jury all the grisly details. she claimed it was all about money, not sex. >> she said, he came up with the idea of kidnapping someone, but she went so far as to suggest real estate agents. >> she testified that she was in class at nursing school and luis objected beverley. >> she got a text from aaron lewis saying, look at this, or something like that, and it was a picture of miss carter bound in the trunk of the car. she said that when she got home, he had brought mrs. carter back to the house. >> she told the jury when she got home beverley was locked in their bathroom, what she said next showed how little thought went into this plan. lewis had forgotten beverley's purse, with her atm card at the property, so he went back to get it. crystal says when you get close

to the house, cops were everywhere. one even pulled him over. >> this particular officer to stop the car that was coming and say hey, have you seen, just ask questions and put the person on alert. >> the officer could not have known that aaron lewis was the man they were looking for. >> miss carter was still alive, and he just did not know it. >> when lewis returned home, krystal told the jury that is when the couple ran out of options. >> she was in the bathroom with crystals medication so that she knew crystal's name. >> beverley had seen too much. they agreed she had to die. >> aaron took miss carter from their house, and put her in the back of the car, and drove her out to the summit plant. >> that is when prosecutors believe lewis did something horrific. he wrapped beverley's face and duct tape and let her suffocate. >> he came home and told krystal that she was dead. >> and then the heart of the

prosecution's case, that recording of beverley pleading to her husband, they played it for the jury. >> just do what he says, and please do not call the police. if you call the police, it could be bad. >> prosecutors argued the recording proved beverley had been kidnapped, and contradicted lewis claim of the hookup. so how are the defense explain that tape? attorney bill james chose to ignore it. >> i was unable to come up with any plausible explanation for that recording that helped us. >> so is as one of your biggest obstacles, then? this recording? >> everything came back to the recording. >> instead, he legers in a different direction. beverley's personal life. >> you said this case is about secret lives. what did you mean by that? >> in order for our defense to be correct, she would've had you've been living a life that was basically secret, for at least doing something that other people did not know about. here's where lewis's the story got even stranger, he was no

longer implying that he had sex with beverley. >> he claims he was out of the house of the time? >> that is what he said, yes. >> lewis said the trust was between beverley and crystal. he said beverley accidentally died during rough sex. >> she died well with his wife, and that he was only just protecting his wife from trying to cover up for her. >> to further birther this story, james suggested to the jury that beverley had been prone to poor judgment. he pointed out that she was broke, but driving a brand-new cadillac, and getting expensive plastic surgery. >> i'm just saying, she made some bad decisions, maybe she made another one. >> finally, aaron lewis took the stand, and told the jury the story about the alleged rendezvous with beverley and his wife. during cross examination, prosecutors pounced. they questioned him about every detail, including that one piece of evidence that seem to contradict his entire story. beverley's voice on that tape

telling her husband she had been kidnapped. >> what he ultimately told the jury was that he had done it himself, he had synthesize her voice, and created this tape. >> you will forgive me if that sounds a little silly. >> will you forgive me, and i remind you, that i did not say it happened. of just telling you what the evidence was. i am just saying what happened in the trial. >> to beverley's friends and family lewis's story was not only preposterous, it was painful to listen to. >> we had been victimized over, and over again by him. i was angry that not only that he was able to do it, but that he continue to the able to hurt my mom. >> i was so now, because i thought, how dare you try to tarnish our sweet beverley's reputation? >> the verdict was back in less than an hour. >> we hear footsteps running, they were like, the verdicts in! what? it was very quick. >> good sign? >> yes. >> great sign.

>> aaron lewis was found guilty on all counts, and given to life sentences. >> i felt relief. i instantly, relief that we got him. >> and beverley's family is working to make sure this does not happen to someone else's family. they started the beverley carter foundation, kherson travels the country training real estate agents about safety. >> it is a blessing for me, because i get to not only raise awareness, talk about safety, best practices. but i also use that as an opportunity to kind of slide in some great stories about my mom, and keep her alive. >> that's all for this edition of dateline, i'm craig melvin. thank you for watching. i'm craig melvin, and i'm natalie morales. >> this is datelin
