>> male announcer: with total gym, you can work your major muscle groups simultaneously to get a total body workout in a fraction of the time you could with circuit training or free weights. >> female announcer: anyone can use the total gym, regardless of age or fitness level, because your own body weight provides the resistance. you simply raise the incline to increase resistance and lower it to reduce resistance. more reps at the lower inclines slenderizes, firms and tones for that longer, leaner look. >> male announcer: while fewer reps at the higher inclines are ideal for bodybuilding. >> female announcer: and because the total gym stretches you as you work out, workouts are fun and energizing, instead of boring and exhausting. and look at this: when you're finished with your workout, just fold it up and slide it under a bed, up against a wall or into a closet. >> male announcer: and when you call, don't forget to ask about the all-new, revolutionary ab crunch accessory. >> female announcer: the total gym xls is built to last, and because you're buying it direct from the manufacturer, you're buying it at the lowest price, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. >> male announcer: and now, you can try the total gym

[♪...] >> i don't know if you know how i got hooked on this machine, but about 32 years ago, i pulled a rotator cuff grappling, doing my jujitsu, and, uh, so i went to rehab centers and kept trying to figure out how to get the thing healed and nothing was working, and so the creators of the total gym, tom and larry, called me up out of the blue and said, "we see that you're going to have an operation for a rotator cuff problem, and we just developed a machine that helps rehab injuries like yours. would you like to try it?"
2:52 am
so i said, "sure, bring it on down," so they brought it to my house, set up the machine, showed me the exercises to do, so i started doing them religiously every day, and in six weeks, my rotator cuff was healed, and i called 'em up and said, "it's the greatest thing and thank you so much." so i kept using the machine from that point on. so it's been incredible. it's been an incredible machine for 32 years for me, and it will be an incredible machine for the next 32 years. >> the total gym... is, is a lifestyle for me. it's a great piece of equipment. i've used mine for two years now, four days a week, and it still works just as well as it did the day i took it out of the box. >> i believe in the total gym. it has changed my life. i've been just using it for about a year and a half. i realized that my two small children, i have to keep up with them, so i realized that i had to get in shape, you know? i had the beer gut, you know? i had it right there, 25 pounds just shed off my body. i feel so much better.
2:53 am
i can bend, i can lift, i can twist, i can just do so much more. just try the total gym. it's gonna work for you. >> oh, the total gym has been wonderful. i have a lot of vitality, i have a lot of energy. when i got it, i started working out on it, and i lost 44 pounds. it works your arms, your legs, your stomach, your abs, uh, everything. in my 40s i didn't feel as good as i do now in my 50s. i will never get rid of my total gym at all. it's right there in my living room... and i love it. >> the advantage of a total gym is that you can vary the moves. with just... the change of your hand, you're exercising a different set of muscles. a lot of people talk about how great kayaking is for the upper body. i do a lot of kayaking, but i mainly do it for the beautiful scenery, because i can get an upper body workout on my total gym in less time and... i can go right into my lower body... and
2:54 am
you can't do that on a kayak. >> i've been using the total gym for over 30 years, and what's great about this incredible machine is when you get tired of the routine you're doing, you can switch to a new routine, because there are so many different exercises you can do. you don't have to move from one machine to the other. now, if i want to start working my biceps here, i can bend 'em... work this exercise. now, if i want to work my chest, i just switch and go right into my chest. again, notice that i have to maintain my core... otherwise i'll fall back or i'll lean forward, so i got to keep my body straight, which strengthens the core. o.k., we're gonna combine two exercises here, one for the back... and then one for the tris... just combined them together... back... tris... and here's the one i like for my martial arts...
2:55 am
working on my punches. this is a great core exercise... and it's great for you golfers and you tennis players. you can see why they call it a total gym: it works everything. >> all my exercises are on one piece of machinery with the total gym... and it's so easy. that's what's so nice about the total gym. two years ago, i had a big middle, i had my big arms, i had a lot of weight on me, and with the pilates on the total gym, i'm able to, to get lean muscle, and that's what i wanted, and i've lost four sizes, i've lost 40 pounds... and here i am. [laughs] >> how would you like to turn back the clock, slow down the aging process and get your body into the best shape of your life? that's exactly what you can do with strength training, and for me, nothing does it better than my total gym. it's fast, fun and invigorating,
2:56 am
and most important, it works. >> the total gym's given me an incredible lower body. [laughs] my problem area before the total gym was my hips, my thighs, my... rear end-- that was a big problem area-- and i couldn't find clothes to fit until i started with the total gym. i lost 50 pounds, i feel more energetic, everything is more toned, everything in my closet fits, and i don't have to go to the tent and awning company anymore... [laughing] it does work. i love that machine. >> actor steve guttenberg uses the total gym. here's what he had to say. >> well, my father is a workout fanatic. he was a u.s. army ranger and a new york city policeman, and, uh, he's talked about the product all the time. he's talked about total gym for the last few years, so coincidentally, when the total gym people called me, i said, "well, my dad's been talking about this gym for a while-- i'd like to give it a try
2:57 am
on my own," and i just fell in love with it. this product just beats 'em all. it's so efficient. first of all, it's not a big piece, so you can store it anywhere. it was an easy setup at home, and it was a great workout. every movement, whether it's the flies, the overhead, the squats, they're all efficient. this is the kind of gym that will make you really happy. it's fun, you can do it in the privacy of your own home. it's just a perfect piece of equipment and you get a great workout out of it, i guarantee it. >> male announcer: now, for the first time, you can replace an entire gym full of equipment with the one piece of equipment that does it all. your total gym xls comes fully assembled. just open it up, and you're ready to begin. >> female announcer: anyone can use the total gym, regardless of age or fitness level, because your own body weight provides the resistance. more reps at the lower inclines slenderizes, firms and tones for that longer, leaner look. >> male announcer: while fewer reps at the higher inclines are ideal for bodybuilding. >> female announcer: and because the total gym stretches you as you work out, workouts are fun
2:58 am
and energizing, instead of boring and exhausting. and look at this: when you're finished with your workout, just fold it up and slide it under a bed, up against a wall or into a closet. >> male announcer: and when you call, don't forget to ask about the all-new, revolutionary ab crunch accessory. >> female announcer: the total gym xls is built to last, and because you're buying it direct from the manufacturer, you're buying it at the lowest price, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. >> male announcer: and now, you can try the total gym absolutely risk-free for 30 days for $49.95. that's right, only $49.95. if you're not delighted, you can return it for a full refund. >> you know, when i first started doing total gym, people would come up to me and say, "so do you really use that?" and i'd say, "yes, i do." now, 12 years later, people come up to me and they say, "christie, i've used the total gym and it's changed my life." and it can change your life too... if you just use it. if you use it, i guarantee
2:59 am
you, you'll lose it where you want to. you have so much to gain by doing that... so give it a try. [♪...] call the number on your screen. [♪...] >> well, gena asked me to put her through her workout this morning. you know, this is very unusual, because it's very seldom i get a chance to tell my wife what to do, so this is kind of exciting for me. [laughs] >> [laughing]: uh-oh, i'm in so much trouble. [both laugh] >> o.k., let's do circles. bring it all the way back... >> o.k. >> and then around... loosening up the shoulders. >> oh, that's great. >> and now work on the lats. pull out to the side... >> o.k. >> and back. it works primarily the lats, but you're working the shoulders, bis, tris, forearm... >> stomach. >> now bring it back up here. now let's go do our triceps,
3:00 am
pulling in and up. >> o.k. >> and then back. >> all right. >> pull... >> and even after all these years, it's still so much fun, isn't it, honey? >> oh, it is. o.k., let's work the chest. >> o.k. >> pulling in... >> butterflies? >> yup, butterflies. >> whoo... i don't normally do this one-- that's good.... boy, i feel it even in my stomach. >> yeah, this again works just about every muscle... >> uh-huh. >> in the upper body. >> whew... i can't talk. [both laugh] >> what's great about this machine is you can work all different areas of the back: the lower back, the middle back, upper back. again, you're working the bicep, but at the same time, you're working back in here, again, that same area that most women want to keep firm. good, babe... that's good. >> [sighs] >> you did great. >> thank you. >> ahh... now... [laughs] see, i still have my energy
3:01 am
still going... >> [laughs] >> but... [laughs] >> you know, i just... i would really like to take this time just to tell the ladies: i've been using the total gym for 12 years now, and i get asked all the time, "does it really work?" and it really does. just 10 minutes a day... you get on, it's fun, it's fast and it's effective. you'll look good in all of your clothes and you'll feel great and you'll be energized to get your day done. >> and gena and i have had a great time showing you our exercises this morning, and, all kidding aside, you know, it's been a great time here... >> it really has. >> and it's really important that you understand that when the creators made this machine, they called it a total gym. >> mm-hmm. >> now, why did they name it that? because you get a total workout. >> i had my 25th high school reunion coming up and i said, "i'm not going like this. i'm getting me a total gym." but i was watching it on an infomercial and my daughter, she's like, "yeah, you have to do that," so i bought it. the total gym helped me lose,
3:02 am
um, about 28 pounds. i was very ecstatic. i went to my high school reunion looking fabulous, people didn't recognize me-- i had to remind them who i was. [laughs] it's an awesome machine, total awesome machine. >> woman: i have lost over 70 pounds on our total gym. it does work, and you save money with the total gym. the money we paid for the gym for years that we didn't use, we could have bought three total gyms. [laughs] >> all you have to do is use it one time to be amazed by the workout it can give you in just a few minutes. ...so, stephanie, you're a lifeguard here, right? >> i am. >> and you look like a surfer right now, doing the surfer move. >> this is definitely good for, um, my shoulders, if you're a surfer... swimming, anything, really. you know where i can really feel it is my triceps. >> and that's that area that i think every woman is always trying to firm up. >> definitely for women. >> so you never work out? >> no... no. >> you better be careful, 'cause if you don't work out,
3:03 am
you're gonna get sore muscles real fast with this. >> oh, i'm gonna be feeling this tomorrow, for sure. >> man: do you feel it as much as your weight training, or more, less-- what's the difference? >> more. >> more? >> i'm getting tired over here. >> go around like this? >> that's the beauty of it, that's right... >> wow! >> with the elbows slightly bent... >> o.k. >> and you're gonna... "hug the tree." >> i feel it. >> you can just effortlessly flow right through, from one exercise to the next. >> i can feel it. it's very good. >> [exhaling deeply] that's amazing. >> so what do you think? >> i could feel the burning, up here. >> i feel a good stretch, i feel it in my shoulders, arms, and here... in my core. right, right in my abs, great. i love it. this is excellent. i really do like this. >> with the total gym, i lost 50 pounds. i went from a size 40 in jeans i want people to feel the way that i feel, to feel excited and be like, "wow, i actually lost all this weight," and feel comfortable within their self. if you give the total gym a
3:04 am
chance, you will see results. that's all you gotta do. look at me. >> female announcer: so here's our promise to you: now you can try the total gym risk-free for 30 days without risking a penny through this exclusive tv offer. >> i wish everybody had one of these. it is so exciting to actually see a product that does what it says it does. in 60 days, i've lost 23-1/2 pounds. i've gone from a pants size of 34 to a 31. to see myself in the mirror again looking like i do has just been phenomenal. >> it wasn't just one area, it was my whole body that was fat. it wasn't just my stomach or my butt-- it was my whole body, so i had do a total-body transformation, and i did. wow... like, what more can you ask for? it's amazing. it just is. >> this is before the total gym-- size 44. i will never go back to that. these are 31s. this is as real as it gets. i weighed 338 pounds, and today i weigh 162. my friends are always asking me,

3:09 am
as such a monster just isn't. he's a man who's worked hard in the church. he is a good father. >> dave's parents stan and louis hawk took over custody of chelsa
3:10 am
and savannah, not the way they expected to spend their 80s, anymore than they expected to have to defend their son. >> well, he's made some mistakes but nothing of the scope that generally accepted in the community. >> stan established those trusts for his grandchildren and says dave had the right to use the money how he saw fit to benefit the children. were you surprised to discover how it was used? >> yes. apparently his financial situation was worse than i knew. >> a year passed in this gossipy limbo. now it was may 2008. nearly two years after debbie's disappearance. her body still hadn't been found and there was no new evidence tying dave to her murder. but prosecutor larry crutch heard disquieting reports from his investigators. >> dave starts surveilling our office, the police offices.
3:11 am
eventually, starts driving by investigator's home. it was getting pretty concerning out there. >> time to move. on may 2008, dave hawk was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and a special circumstance, murder for financial gain. he pleaded not guilty. when the trial finally began, more than a year later, dave faced murder and the earlier embezzlement charges together. prosecutor larry crouch offered the jury this theory, that dave snuck out of his house in the middle of the night without waking his sleeping children, maybe even used a ladder to get out of the window and got someone to give him a ride to debbie's house and entered the bedroom. >> i think he tried the stun gun on her and she screamed very loudly. and he struck her with something. more than once. at that point, i assume he suffocated her. >> then said the prosecutor, he must have dragged debbie's body to the garage, put her into her
3:12 am
own van, discovered of her somewhere and then drove the van to fresno and left it in a high crime zone. how did he get back home? that accomplice said the prosecutor must have picked him up and driven him 40 miles back to his farm. but really, it was no body. there's no dna no. forensic evidence to show dave had even been at the murder scene. everybody in town seemed to have a theory, apparently the prosecutor did, too. but was that proof? so the state tried to build a bridge from dave's alleged financial crimes to the murder, painting him as an evil man who decided to eliminate his ex-wife when he knew his misuse of the trust funds was about to be exposed. enough? well, we shall see. >> there's a number of other explanations for what could have happened other than dave. >> dave was a convenient
3:13 am
ex-husband. >> coming up, one of his children is convinced he's not guilty. but could dave hawk convince a jury? >> i told them that i wanted to testify. >> when "dateline" continues. yeah. ok, we'll split it. [ female announcer ] made fresh, so light... ...buttery and flaky... this is half. that is not half. guys i have more. [ female announcer ] do you have enough crescents? with cinnabon cinnamon have such a sweet and delicious aroma that my family can't wait to get their hands on them. enjoy cinnabon cinnamon... now in all pillsbury cinnamon rolls. two complementary fragrances alternate to keep things... fresh day after day. and not just for 30 days -- but for 60. it's our longest-lasting plugins freshener. s.c. johnson. a family company. and now #1 in the u.s. that's outlast lipstain from covergirl.

3:17 am
against us. stacked against dave hawk. >> at least in the harsh court of public opinion it looked bad for dave hawk as his murder trial approached in hanford, california. dennis peterson and mark coleman were dave's attorneys. >> we had this guy allegedly stealing from his kids saying bad things about the sympathetic victim and all of these things being widely played in the press. >> if there ever was a case for change of venue, this must be it, said the defense. after all, almost everybody seemed to have heard the accusations about dave and every time he had a court appearance, purple-clad friends of debbie crowded into the public gallery. in fact, during jury selection, said attorney coleman, he had heard jurors tell the judge they had already decided dave hawk was guilty. >> the judge asked them,6v wel if i order you to set those opinions aside, can you do it? well, i guess so. >> still, the defense
3:18 am
application for a change of venue was denied. as was the defense request to separate the financial charges from the murder charge. defense argued the embezzlement accusations were unfairly prejudicial. >> they wanted to make him look like a bad person, a person who would take money from his kids would be likely to murder his ex-wife. >> in fact, the prosecution would say dave's fear that debbie was about to reveal in open court his theft of the kids' trust funds was a powerful motive for murder. >> but the fact of the matter was that was already exposed. it had been filed in open declarations in court. >> he would have gained nothing to get rid of her at that stage? >> no. >> if it walks and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck but you're saying it's turkey. >> the burden is on them to prove it's a duck. in this case, they department. >> no, the defense, argued that the prosecution had absolutely
3:19 am
no evidence that dave even left his house the night debbie was abducted and presumably murdered. in fact, his daughter chelsa insisted he could not have left the house without her having heard him. >> that just didn't seem at all possible. >> and even though investigators would tell the court that the kids slept so soundly it was hard to wake them up when they went to see them one morning, the defense claimed that the prosecution's theory of what happened just didn't add up. >> that's just beyond belief that somebody would take that kind of a risk. that he would sneak down the hallway, open the door, drive the 10 or 12 miles to debbie hawk's house, bludgeon her, drive the van to fresno, get back to his house without blood on him or being discovered. >> so wh did happen to debbie hawk? the defense floated this theory.
3:20 am
debbie worked in pharmaceutical sales. perhaps an addict went after the samples she kept in the van. >> all of the pharmaceuticals in the van were missing. somebody took them. >> but that was a ludicrous idea, countered the prosecution. debbie carried very few samples and anyway if drug theft was behind it, why didn't the thief take any jewelry or electronics. no, it all seemed to come down to dave. his behavior, his character, his own words. like the conversation with a friend police recorded in which dave speculated on what might have happened to debbie. the defense played it in court as an unguarded indication dave had no idea what happened. >> he basically offered that, you know, i don't think she's ever going to be found. >> did it work?
3:21 am
listen to prosecutor larry crouch. >> you're going, oh no, why are they putting that? i thought it was harmful. >> though what the jury thought no one could say. then there was inevitability a conversation of whether or not dave would testify. >> i told them that i wanted to testify. >> an idea that dave's attorneys did not like one bit. >> dave is a combative individual, he's very prideful. he's offended easily. >> he thinks he's smart and hates for anybody to think he's not smart. i mean, he'd be just perfect fodder for a trained prosecutor. >> and so, dave held his tongue in court. he saved his story for us. so you don't think they had any useful evidence against you at all? >> can you, can anybody name anything? >> coming up, dave hawk speaks out and so does the jury. >> we the jury find the defendant david martin hawk --
3:22 am
>> when "the dave hawk on trial for the murder of his ex-wife debbie did not testify. didn't tell the members of the jury what he was thinking. he had a sinking feeling he knew what they were thinking. >> always blame the ex-husband first. >> it was an awful problem as he saw it. had been from the date his ex-wife debbie disappeared through a trail of her own blood. number one suspect was him. that's what the police had been saying all along. and that's apparently what a great many people thought in hanford, california.
3:23 am
even as he sat here as a defendant in a murder case. even though -- >> i didn't have the motive and i didn't have the capacity. >> you know how it can be, said dave. once people get it in their heads that you did something, they misder pret everything to make it look like you were guilty. >> i was home with my children in another town all night but i'm being accused of being in another place committing a terrible crime based on financial shenanigans that didn't exist in the first place. >> shenanigans like, for example, that trust fund for his kids. his father made the terms very broad, said dave, so he could spend the money he saw fit, any way to benefit the children. >> the money is to be used for the health, education, support and maintenance of the children. and that's exactly what it was used for.
3:24 am
and i acted legally in that respect. >> and then, since they didn't have any evidence against him, said dave, prosecutors made a case based on misinterpreting things he said, like the time he said to a friend if i was a bad guy i'd throw somebody off a bridge. >> my point was is, they haven't looked for her. if someone had thrown her off a bridge, it would have floated downstream. they didn't look anywhere. >> so did you throw her off the bridge? >> no. i didn't throw anybody off a bridge. >> they also made a huge deal about something he supposedly said to his girlfriend about debbie. dave said, you know, we won't be rid of that f'g bitch until he's dead. >> i might have but i don't remember that. and that certainly does not mean that i'm going to go kill somebody. >> and then there was his own son conrad who after all
3:25 am
believed he was guilty. and told police he saw dave and girlfriend mary share a sell bra tori toast after debbie's disappearance. conrad said dave just didn't get it. >> whenever we open a bottle of wine, we always raise our glasses and say "cheers." it is just a tradition. we were not toasting anybody's anything. >> why have you never been able to persuade conrad of your innocence? >> i don't know. he knows that i was at home the whole time, never left, didn't have any involvement in anything illegal that he's perhaps angry and needs to fill in the blanks with something. >> well, maybe he's angry at his dad because his dad killed his mom. >> his dad didn't kill his mom. >> he thinks so, though.
3:26 am
>> he can be wrong. >> so who did kill debbie? >> dave has an opinion about that, too. who else wanted her dead? >> maybe the boyfriend that was stalking her. >> stalking her? >> this is somebody who was reported to the police and the police swept it under the rug. apparently. it was an ex-boyfriend. >> of course, investigators say they did look into that and other leads, too, but they all came back to dave. and one primary motive. so, some cross-examination. prosecutors said you killed your ex-wife because she was going to expose your embezzlement of the children's trust funds. weren't you afraid your father was going to find out what you were doing with the money from the trust fund, your father who lovingly put the money into the trust fund before he kind of siphoned it out? >> i really don't like the way you're characterizing these things. i really don't like the prosecutor accused me of --
