5:52 pm
a minute an american defense. plane wallace like other militia members doesn't believe shawna forde is a murderer. she thinks she was settling scores between opposing cartels and that she was the scapegoats for the murders. this is the house where the arab docket massacre happened at about 12 45 am on a friday night. several intruders burst into that house they were supposedly pretending to be border patrol and were dressed as border patrol and they shot the husband they shot the wife and they shot the 9 year old daughter the wife survived she was shot in the head like the daughter and the husband were. shannon ford was never positively identified by the surviving with this so there were definitely 2 men there and one woman and there were additional parties as well she's didn't know
5:53 pm
if there was she said there might have been 4 or 5 people there but she couldn't describe them. resign your floor 9 and her father role florus died on the spot with a bullet in the head only survivor of the massacre gina gonzales mother shot in the leg she pretended to be dead during the shooting before calling for help. i don't know where you think. they shot them the way to where they got in the head in the head they're the people who are there that shot him. the cover back there. on the phone the salem's who heard her came back inside the house to eliminate the only survivor. to defend herself. picked up her husband's weapon and started firing a man who was injured in the leg. you can clearly hear the voice of the woman on
5:54 pm
the recording a voice that could belong to shawna forde. how many people were there i don't know. like males are talking there with a male in the. woman. ok now the woman let it. take me. home and. taking leave is just coming into our news for you is real 3 people have been arrested in connection with a deadly home invasion. after a highly publicized trial. he was sentenced to death for the double homicide despite the fact that gina gonzales the only survivor was never able to formally
5:55 pm
identify her nor to say exactly how many killers were in the house. chris ackerley sana for his lawyer believe there is no evidence that his client was present at the scene of the kind. which he claims proves shawn affords innocence. we see a mysterious woman carrying a weapon similar to the one found at the scene of the kind. this woman's identity is still unknown today. in the 1st place gina guns all as she was uncertain if it was one woman in her house or 2 with them because the woman who was initially there went outside and a few minutes later a woman came in who was dressed completely differently and had her hair done completely different way and she identified her as being a heavy set short one with blondish brown hair now we can prove.
5:56 pm
that these photographs were taken the night before the flores homicides occurred the jury never saw those photographs looks to me like a short heavy set woman with blondish brown hair that is not shown up for we don't know who it is there is a shotgun there and there were $357.00 caliber revolver. and now 20 minutes after the homicides occurred this weapon. was found in the forest front yard this is also. 357 handgun with a finger and intuitions i believe that shawna forde was not present when these homicides occurred she was. not president of at the florist she is simply wasn't there. this is also what shawna forde has been claiming since she was arrested we
