the poison ivy costume she wore that night had just been discovered by a couple of locals searching for scrap metal. it was found ripped and lying underneath some plywood in an abandoned building. and this was interesting-- that building happened to be 100 yards or so from the trailer park where harlin bird lived. harlin was the guy who had lied to police about defending chelsea at the party. what did you think when you saw that? the hair on the back of your neck kind of stands up. keith morrison: coincidence? the detectives didn't think so. first thing we did-- call harlin bird in for another interview. yeah. i think finally we got our guy here. yes. because you'd been kind of, mm, wonky about him before, right? yes. things look like they're adding up that we might finally have something on harlin. keith morrison: harlin came back to the station-- this time with an attorney.

harlin admitted he'd been to the abandoned building where the costume was found. none of a harlin was adamant he never saw chelsea at the party. he made up the story. he had nothing to do with her disappearance. he did appear to be nervous, like, you know, this is getting serious now. i really made everything up. i really have no involvement. i'll do whatever you want. keith morrison: harlin took the test and passed. are they accurate or are they not? can somebody deceive them? but we also obtained a dna sample from harlin bird because we did recover the leotard and wig. keith morrison: yeah.

and we had a pretty good feeling there was going to be some kind of dna on there. so he did give us a dna sample. keith morrison: so they sent it off to the lab and waited. penny heard the news, and still distressed by a sense of failed responsibility, felt some force pulling her to the place the poison ivy costume was found. penny watkins: very eerie place. there is a train track just on the other side of it. and i don't know-- i just envisioned being tortured in there, and the trains going by, and the clinking, and the echoes-- but i just had to see for myself, i suppose. maybe i'd find something that someone else missed. i don't know. keith morrison: or maybe someone else would. it was spring, remember. time to get outside, clear the land, find things. [music playing] i'm priya mann, live in carlton where we have breaking developments in the search for chelsea bruck.

take a look behind me. just hours ago a body was discovered about a quarter mile away from where-- keith morrison: april 24, 2015, about seven miles from big mike's place, a dump truck pulled up to a construction site. a man was building his dream house-- needed fill for a low spot on his property. but as the driver backed up across the spring wet soil-- this truck gets stuck in the mud. he goes behind the truck-- walks behind it to assess the situation, see if we can get it moving again. keith morrison: and that's when he saw it. a few minutes later, the property owner called 911 very upset. he was guessing because the face was unrecognizable. but was it chelsea? had the truck dumped its load of dirt, had it not gotten stuck, they'd never have had a chance to find out. the body would've been buried forever. instead--

we all responded out there. we had the crime lab from the michigan state police come out there and help us out too. we took a close look at the body, and-- had it been covered up or anything like that? the body had some small logs, branches, over parts of the body-- as if somebody tried to hide it. yes. keith morrison: not far from the body they found one artificial leaf, just like the rest of the leaves on chelsea's poison ivy costume. kinda tells you something, doesn't it? yes. so that's a hard call. you don't have absolute confirmation that it's her, but you know it is. we had a pretty good idea. do you call her family then, or do you wait? we went out and told the family. we wanted them to know before they heard it because the media was showing up. and we knew the news was going to be all over it. we didn't want the bruck family to hear it that way. so we went out and personally visited them, and said, you know, we found-- we found the body. we don't know for sure it's chelsea, but it's a female.

we think it might be. you know, for it to come down to that-- that was extra tough to go out there and be the bearer of such bad news. keith morrison: becky wasn't the family, of course. but it hit her pretty hard just the same. one of the ladies at work said, they found a body. i went home-- turned on the news. and sure enough, they were by the railroad tracks. and they had the helicopters, and-- what was happening in your tummy? um, sick. sick. my heart was pounding-- butterflies. and, uh, by this point we just wanted to know the truth. and still we had to wait for them to verify that it was her. keith morrison: they did that the next day-- dental records. it was a relief to know the truth.

but then opened a whole new door of questions of what happened, why, who did this? so it was like a whole new stressor. we almost felt more pressure on us all of a sudden too because it's not a missing person case anymore. it's a homicide. we know there's a killer out there. is the killer going to strike again? you know, we need to find that person as fast as we can. keith morrison: coming up-- the investigation heats up with a promising new clue. the crime lab assured us that it was a-- it was a pretty good sample of the unknown male dna. keith morrison: right. and they said it's just a matter of time and sooner or later we think we'll get a match on it. keith morrison: and detectives set their sights on a familiar face. we're going back, making a list of people's dna we want to get-- like, for example, big mike. big mike. that's the dna that we wanted. keith morrison: when "dateline" continues.

a man-- a mystery man. we've entered it into our codis system and there was no hit. codis-- it's a database of dna. correct. the crime lab assured us that it was a pretty good sample-- the unknown male dna. keith morrison: right. and they said it's just a matter of time, and sooner or later we think we'll get a match in it. keith morrison: they checked, of course, the dna of eric kassab, who found the costume, and harlin bird. and both men were cleared. when we got that information from the dna, it was almost like our investigation kind of shifted gears. we were in recovered dna mode. we were trying to collect dna from anybody and everybody we could. so did you go back to the people at the party? - we did. - we did. people we talked to on the first day of the investigation, we-- now we're going back asking for their dna, because before, we didn't know there was going to be dna. we didn't even know it was a homicide at that point. so we're going back, making a list of people's dna want to get-- like, for example, big mike.

big mike. that's-- that's the dna that we wanted. and? he wouldn't give it to us. keith morrison: what was it with big mike? was he cooperating or what? they asked for my dna. and i talked to my attorney. and he said you don't have to if you don't want to. and i just felt like i didn't want my dna in some database, you know. i'm not-- i'm not a criminal. i'm not a felon. and i also felt like they were almost pointing-- pointing the finger at me again. i was over it. and i was kind of trying to move on with my life. and so mike williams stayed on the persons of interest list. about a month later, the medical examiner's office told the detectives they now knew what killed chelsea. they ruled the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the face. we had initially noticed that there was a-- a break in the jaw. and they just kind of confirmed that there were severe facial injuries which they believed was the cause of death. keith morrison: several facial bones were fractured

especially around her eyes. the detectives decided to keep all that secret. and chelsea's parents held a private funeral for their sweet youngest child, the baby of the family. reporter: hearts are breaking in this small town today for the bruck family. keith morrison: and then in early september, about 10 months after chelsea disappeared, . the man who'd found her remains called the sheriff's office. he's doing some more excavating on his property there-- moving dirt around, working on the property-- and he notices a red shoe. keith morrison: mm-hm. and we have several detectives that go out to the scene and it happens to be the left shoe. it's the same size, same brand, same style as the one that had been found on war road. obviously it's chelsea's other shoe. yeah. the detectives began to look around a little bit more-- moved some things around in the area. and they happened to find the green tights of chelsea's. so at that point we have everything accounted for. we have chelsea's shoes, her tights, her costume,

her wig, and her body. keith morrison: everything, that is, but her killer. coming up, a months old tip sends the investigation in a promising new direction. that's a boom, boom, boom, boom. yeah, i mean-- things were adding up. keith morrison: or that's what investigators thought, until-- she put her foot down. she said you don't want to see this right now. so we stopped, and she handed me the lab sheet. a peace loving suspect confesses, but not to murder. free frt when "dateline" continues. turn on the stove, get out all the pans or preheat the oven to make an entire meal that's slow.

on investigation about a white male with a mustache that had showed up around 3 o'clock in the morning at a residence on war road. this was about a quarter mile or so-- not even-- from where chelsea's shoe was found. this guy shows up at 3:00 in the morning, pounding on this guy's door. says he's coming from the party-- he's looking for a place to stay. the gentleman says, you know, you can't stay here. you-- you have to get going. keith morrison: the party goer took a snooze on the man's front porch. but then he left, and the homeowner found the guy's vest the next morning, and called the tip line. the vest had a pocket knife and some rope inside of it. so this guy shows back up-- wants his vest back. he gets his vest and he leaves. keith morrison: weird. back at that time it didn't seem like much of a lead, but who knew? so they combed through the party video. we actually could see several frames where this guy is actually dancing around wearing a black leather vest.

so we're thinking maybe this is the same guy that was at the house on war road, knocking on the door. keith morrison: but when those pictures went out on local media-- did you find him? he actually came forward. what did you have to say? he came in, and uh-- you know, another key factor in the identification was he-- he resembled the sketch. it was a pretty close-- ah, the original sketch? yes. yep. that's it's. so boom, boom, boom, boom. yeah, i mean, things were adding up. he's in the area where her shoe's found, late-- you know-- knife in his pocket-- rope. keith morrison: the young man said he was very drunk at the party, and didn't remember much. they took his dna and scheduled the polygraph. but on the very day that was supposed to happen, the sheriff's evidence tech received an email. she says, hey, you guys. i have something here you're going to want to see. and we were pretty much focused on what we were doing at that time. keith morrison: yeah. we kind of said, hey, just hold off.

you know, wait a minute-- let us finish doing what we're doing. and she put her foot down. and she said, you're going to want to see this right now. so we stopped and she handed me the lab sheet. and it was a confirmation of dna. keith morrison: it was a match to the unknown male dna on chelsea's costume. but it was not the guy in the party video. it wasn't any of the men they'd been looking at. they could clear them all, including big mike. no this was someone else-- someone new. daniel clay. keith morrison: had you ever heard of daniel clay before? never. never heard his name. and he'd never come up at all? not in this case. who was daniel clay? daniel clay, um, he's a guy that lives in monroe county and doesn't really have a permanent address. he just kind of flops around from house to house, girlfriend to girlfriend. he has a few kids. they just kind of does his own thing. somebody who's not doing very well in life. unemployed. oh, boy.

and we'd found out that he had actually been arrested a month or two prior. i believe it was in may of 2016 by the monroe city police for a larceny from person where he stole a backpack with some tattoo equipment off of somebody. a petty crime, essentially. but it's a felony. keith morrison: and unfortunately for daniel clay, the law in michigan had recently changed. under the old law, only dna from convicted felons was entered into the national database, codis. the new law included the dna of anyone arrested for a felony. so upon his arrest, with the new law in michigan, they took a dna sample from him and sent it to the crime laboratory to get entered into codis. so where was this guy? well, that was one of our big things was locating him. keith morrison: yeah. he was homeless and was bouncing around from home-- trailer to trailer. keith morrison: and-- imagine this-- there were two warrants out for him for unpaid child support.

so when they found out where he was, they set up surveillance and made a plan to arrest him on those outstanding warrants without telling him he was a murder suspect. that is, if they could catch him. on at least one occasion, we see a male subject come out of the front door onto the front porch to smoke a cigarette. and we confirmed that that was daniel clay. the deputies go up, they knock on the door. i mean, they're pounding on this mobile home for quite a while. oh, boy, ok. so it doesn't look like he's going to come out. they keep knocking. suddenly, the back door flies open and out comes daniel clay. he takes off. fortunately, we had several officers at the back door who were able to take him into custody immediately. they take him to jail, book him in, just like he's being arrested just for his child support. keith morrison: so when they put him in an interview room, daniel clay did not know he was a murder suspect. and questions about the halloween party may have come as a surprise.

did he say he knew chelsea? he denied ever knowing chelsea. didn't see chelsea, never heard of her, didn't know her, until later on, he watched stuff on the news and that about this girl that went messing, but denied ever knowing her. keith morrison: still, said mr. clay, he did know a lot of women. he was a lover of women, he told the detectives, a real ladies' man. he already had two children with two women, another on the way. a nice simple life, said daniel clay. peace and love. that's sex and pot. oh, he probably liked those things a lot, didn't he? but peace, non-violence?

so it went, until, calmly and quietly, the detective broke the bad news. for all of daniel's denials, dna doesn't lie, and his dna was on chelsea's costume. and so the question-- how could that be? he was adamant. they kept talking. and then daniel admitted he did have sex with a woman at the party. could it have been chelsea? well, maybe. there's ask. so that means i. that means i. >> asked so, time to reel in the fish. nice. i

think i've been pretty a gentleman to you. yeah. really? and you have to me. right. there are some things you haven't told me. all right, but we're getting there, okay? i do not think you're a murderer. i'm being upfront. okay, i'm being honest with you. i've been honest with you 100%. okay. all right. i think something happened. you think something happened. you did not daniel figured detective preadmore must have assumed they found semen dna. so he told that consensual sex story. so then detective preadmore revealed a little more. that dna, he told daniel, wasn't semen. it was skin cells recovered where chelsea's costume had been violently ripped at the straps and the crotch. else's. nobody

else's. nobody. no one. okay, there's something happened where it was intentional. unintentional. accidental. okay, so listen to me. now is the time for you to tell us what happened. because. are you that. >> monster murderer? >> no. did you have intention? but. it just. it just got. it but. it just. it just got. it just it was like for a split second, time stopped for daniel clay. because now he's thinking in his head about all them lies that he just told me prior to that he don't know, never had contact with her, nothing, nothing.

no contact with chelsea, nothing. now i'm telling him that dna was recovered on her costume, his dna. so daniel clay now has to rewind and see how he's going to cover up what lies, the lies that he's already told me. keith morrison: and then detective preadmore told daniel a lie. mother, is that she had brittle bone disease. brittle bone bone disease. brittle bone disease is a i had to do something to relax daniel clay and open him up to talk to me and tell me what happened. so this is where the brittle bone disease came in. and at that time, i think, in the interview is where the turning point daniel clay kind of leaned back and was like, oh, yeah.

yeah, that brittle bone-- i've heard of that. that's-- i had my hand broke one time real-- and he goes on. keith morrison: the detective could almost see the wheels turning in daniel's head. if her bones broke easily, could he say her death wasn't his fault? daniel, not so calm anymore, asked for a cigarette and told a new story, that he saw chelsea walking down the road after the party and offered her a ride. and then, he said, they had sex in his car again, and this time, things got freaky. got underneath me and. >> like. >> i don't know, we were for a minute and then she kind of stopped and she went limp. so i stopped and i'm like, you know. and i started tapping her face and okay, i guess i. >> choked. her too. >> hard or something. i wasn't >> hard or something. i wasn't even choking her that hard. i so he says, i attempted cpr.

i kind of hit on her chest a little bit. and after that, he just freaks out. he says that he drug her, put her in the back of the car, and was freaking out, didn't know what to do. didn't think of going to the hospital or anything like that. and he found himself driving. keith morrison: driving, he said, until he stopped by these railroad tracks and carried her body to this wooded property and tried to hide her with leaves and branches. he claimed he simply had no idea how her costume ended up in that abandoned building 5 and 1/2 miles away. i don't believe we ever got the full true story of what daniel clay did to chelsea. something made him snap. we don't know. did chelsea simply ask for a ride home and realized that he was going the wrong direction and then confronted him on that? tried to get out of the vehicle? did she turn down his advances for sex? we don't know.

something set him off, though, and just made him snap. keith morrison: they arrested him then for murder. but before the news went public, becky heard about it, and this was an added shock. the friend who told her about daniel's arrest, a woman named jessica, also worked at olga's kitchen and has a son with, of all people, daniel clay. daniel had called jessica before he was taken to his cell. and she's crying, hysterical. she took a breath, and she said, her son's dad had killed chelsea. and she was like, i am so sorry. i'm sorry. and then i started crying because i felt bad for her. it was crazy that it was literally one person away, like, in our circle. keith morrison: but daniel clay had only confessed to an accidental killing, not murder.

so he pleaded not guilty. after all, no eyewitnesses, no hard proof he meant to kill chelsea. the ladies' man was going to trial. coming up, the prosecution says it was murder. he obviously used massive force against her and ultimately killed her. keith morrison: daniel clay takes the stand to say it wasn't. man: did you murder chelsea bruck? no. man: why do you say that? why do you say no? keith morrison: when "dateline" continues. type 2 diabetes?

daniel clay went on trial for murder in may 2017. and as chelsea's family and friends gathered here at the monroe county courthouse, the prosecutors prepared to deal with a tricky problem. daniel clay had confessed to an accidental killing. leah hubbard and michael rory needed to prove it was really murder. of course, there's only one person alive who knows what really happened that night, and that's daniel clay. and he's certainly no friend to the truth. keith morrison: although, lead prosecutor rory admitted, some of daniel's story was plausible. yeah, i think that the fact that she was alone at the party without a phone, without a ride home, it was cold, and she was dressed only in that costume, i think does play a role here because i think it makes it somewhat more likely that she might have accepted a ride from the defendant, whom she would

probably have been acquainted. keith morrison: but what happened after that, the state argued, chelsea did not agree to. it seems fairly likely that daniel clay demanded of chelsea that-- something that she didn't want to provide to him. and he obviously used massive force against her to get what he wanted and ultimately killed her in the process. keith morrison: daniel clay's claim that chelsea asked him to choke her and after 20 or 30 seconds, she expired? on the stand, here's what the medical examiner said about that. so that there was nothing left for me to evaluate whether or not chelsea had been asphyxiated. keith morrison: nothing to evaluate because of the severe decomposition of her body. but could choking have killed her so quickly? it is not a 10 or a 20 or even a 30-second process. keith morrison: no, said the medical examiner.

and certainly not by accident. and with constant pressure placed on the neck, a person will lose consciousness within 20 to 30 seconds. after that point, the constant pressure has to be maintained on the neck of an unconscious person for an additional 2 to 2 and 1/2 minutes before that victim is dead. keith morrison: if the jury couldn't believe daniel's choking story, what would they think about this? in this case, chelsea's costume spoke for her. in fact, it really shouted for her. keith morrison: the poison ivy costume, daniel had told detectives she removed it by herself willingly. not possible, said leah hubbard. in reality, it would have taken quite a bit more force than chelsea would have been able to exert to remove the garment. keith morrison: prosecutors called a state crime lab fabric expert. my opinion is that the leotard was torn or cut and torn with a blunt object. keith morrison: and, prosecutor hubbard argued,

chelsea would never have ripped her costume for any reason. chelsea spent months making this costume. she was so proud of it. we never believed that she would tear that. keith morrison: and look inside the leotard, said prosecutors to the jury. and the jury had an opportunity to see the bloodstains on the costume, and they were significant. the costume was turned inside out and shown to the jury, and it was very clear that she sustained a trauma that caused a significant amount of blood loss. she was therefore, obviously, wearing the costume when she was beaten and bloodied. the defendant by his own account indicated that chelsea was naked during what he claims was a consensual sexual encounter. but clearly, what happened was she was beaten and bloodied first, and then that costume was forcibly removed from her. keith morrison: and all those strands of evidence, said the prosecutor, from daniel clay's lies to the dna, the broken facial bones, the blood inside the torn costume,

added up to first degree murder. but daniel's defense attorney, russell smith, countered uh-uh, his client killed chelsea, yes, but this was no murder. >> young. >> lady is no longer. >> with. >> what? >> the fact. >> that these. >> that these. >> two people g he argued it was just a horrible accident caused by choking during consensual sex. and he put on his own forensic pathologist to argue that as well. some type of neck compression, strangulation. keith morrison: though the expert conceded there was no physical proof of that, but he disagreed with the state's conclusion that chelsea was beaten to death. the facial bones, by themselves, it would an unusual cause of death. there's a variety of things that could have occurred after death that potentially could have resulted in these fractures.

keith morrison: then the defense attorney called his only other witness-- daniel clay himself, the one person who knew what really happened that night. and daniel swore his story about accidental choking was god's truth. and when she died, he said, he panicked. i was extremely emotional. i had never dealt with anything like that before. i mean, i've never been in serious trouble in my life. keith morrison: as for the broken bones in chelsea's face, he wasn't sure how that happened, he said, but he had some possible explanations. maybe he accidentally hit her head with the car door, or maybe he dropped her on the way to the woods. man: so how many times did you drop her, if you recall? probably five or six. keith morrison: or maybe he said one of those logs damaged her face. i remember tipping a bigger one on her and a couple of smaller ones. i just grabbed one end of the log and proceeded to tip it up over on top of her.

keith morrison: it was all an accident, said daniel, and he felt just terrible. every day, i think about this, and i regret what happened. it's something i have to live with, something that her family has to live with. i never wanted to put someone through something like this. man: did you intend to cause her death? no, i did not. man: did you murder chelsea bruck? no. man: why do you say that? why do you say no? 'cause i didn't mean for her to die. i didn't mean for this to end like this. and it's just not my intent. it was to have a good time. keith morrison: the prosecutor did his best to break daniel's story. said, of course, daniel didn't seek help because people would have seen immediately that chelsea had been brutally beaten to death. prosecutor: and they would have seen her smashed in the face, wouldn't they? no. prosecutor: and they would have seen her torn and bloody costume, wouldn't they? no. there was-- prosecutor: they wouldn't?

i mean, they probably if they would have looked, yes. prosecutor: if they would have looked, they would have seen it. yes. keith morrison: but daniel said he was drunk and high that night and thought maybe it was all a bad dream. but then he said he saw on facebook that chelsea was missing. prosecutor: and that must have confirmed it in your mind that yes, in fact, you did kill her. it started making things-- prosecutor: i see. --seem like they happened. prosecutor: and that's when you contacted the police. no. prosecutor: in fact, you never reported ms. bruck missing or murdered, did you? no, i did not. prosecutor: you never reported where her body was. i didn't remember where her body was. prosecutor: well, you never reported killing her, did you? no, i did not. keith morrison: daniel clay did not raise his voice. he even came off as kind of sincere. i've never hit a woman. i've never done anything like this in my life. it's not something i chose to do. keith morrison: but this was no accident, prosecutor rory insisted. and he implored the jury.

just look at the evidence. the defendant murdered chelsea bruck, and then he discarded her lifeless, naked body in those woods in an attempt to hide the evidence of his wrongdoing and escape any measure of justice for what he had just done. keith morrison: not enough, argued defense attorney smith. oh, they should find daniel guilty, he said, but of manslaughter, not murder, for daniel clay had no reason to kill chelsea and no motive to do so. he caused her death. it's not a secret. is it a murder? what was his intent? was his intent to kill her? did he premeditate the intent to kill her? that's the reasonable doubt, folks. keith morrison: what was a jury to do? coming up, the verdict.

my heart was racing. you just heard gasps in the courtroom. keith morrison: and regrets. i know i didn't do anything wrong. but that's something i'm not going to forget. keith morrison: when "dateline" continues. when you live with diabetes, progress is... having your coffee like you like it without an audience. ♪♪ [silence] the freestyle libre 3 plus sensor tracks your glucose in real time so everyone else doesn't have to, and over time it can help lower your a1c confident choices for more control of your life. this is progress. learn more and try for free at freestylelibre.us ♪♪ not dog food. >> it's fresh meat. >> real veggies. >> for peter. that's peter.

a lot of people to back up the picture they made of what happened that night. keith morrison: but-- i'm past the point in my career where i feel confident about cases until the jury returns with their verdict. keith morrison: that afternoon, the deliberation crawled by. it was about 4:00 or 4:15 at this point. the judge indicated to us in chambers at that point that he was going to break for the day. keith morrison: some of chelsea's family and the media were just about to leave the courthouse. and when the judge came back on the bench, he let us know at that time the jury had reached a verdict. that was shocking. i thought for sure, it was going to take at least a day or two. keith morrison: the jury entered the courtroom, anxiety in the air. my heart was racing. we, the jury, find as follows count one, first degree murder, not guilty. keith morrison: wait, not guilty? oh, they weren't finished. there was a second first degree murder

charge for killing chelsea while sexually assaulting her. felony murder, guilty. count two, concealing the death of an individual, guilty. like, i knew it. i knew it. you just heard gasps in the courtroom, people crying. it was just unreal. what does that feel like to get that result? that's the closure you're looking for, you know? you put so much time, effort. this was a part of our life for several years. and it comes down to that, and to get the conviction like that, it just-- it feels satisfying. and you feel very, very happy for the family. keith morrison: two months later, everyone gathered again for sentencing, many wearing purple, chelsea's favorite color. her mom, leannda, spoke directly to daniel, and what she said surprised many here. today, with the strength from jesus christ, i forgive daniel clay because if i don't, all that

has happened the last 2 and 3/4 years will destroy the rest of my life. but forgiving is not forgetting because forgetting would mean that chelsea didn't matter, that chelsea was not important, that chelsea didn't exist. mr. clay, i am leaving you with a bible. jesus came to heal our mess of a life, and i hope you will let him in, healing your mess. keith morrison: was daniel's response sincere? only he knows, of course, this ladies' man no more. i thank you for that bible, and i will keep that as long as i'm able to. and there's nothing more i can say, except i am sorry for what i have put you through. and i will live with this for every day for the remainder of my life. i know her mother forgives daniel.

which is pretty remarkable she would do that in court. it is. could you do such a thing? one day, i'll forgive him. i'm not ready yet. keith morrison: and then the judge turned to daniel-- did not mince words. what's very clear to me, mr. clay, you're a liar, a rapist, and a killer. it is a sentence of this court that you be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. keith morrison: and a postscript. chelsea was not daniel's only victim. shortly before his arrest, daniel sexually assaulted another young woman. in june 2017, he was tried and convicted in that case, too. we have no doubt that if he wasn't in custody right now, we wouldn't be able to identify that he's the one that did this to chelsea, that there would be other victims, whether it be sexual assaults, more murders. we're just glad that he's off the streets and can't do this to anybody else.

keith morrison: and big mike's still throws his annual halloween party at a music venue in detroit, but he's not sure if his life will ever be back to normal. even still to this day, even though the guy is caught and convicted, there's still little things. i hear little things here and there. and i'm just like, really? - really? really? you know, oh, he's the guy that threw the party. don't hang out with him. like, what? you know, like, you know i had nothing-- absolutely nothing to do with that, you know what i mean? keith morrison: becky and penny no longer attend big mike's parties. difficult memories haunt them still. if only, they imagine. if only. i know i didn't do anything wrong. i didn't mean for anything wrong to happen, but my actions could have prevented something wrong from happening, and that goes through my head a lot. it's something i'm not going to forget. how often do you think about chelsea? every day. i think about her every day. i have a wedding coming up, and she'd probably be in it.

what would you say to her if you could talk to her right now? i'd talk to her all the time. that i miss her. you know, tell her i was sorry. sorry that i let her down and that i loved her. but i think she knew that because i told her every day when she was here.
