people here sure are friendly but some have had a hard time understanding my accent. so to make sure people get every word of the geico savings message i've been practicing how to talk like a true chicagoan.

switching to geico could save you hundreds of dollars on car insurance... da bears. haha... you people sure do talk funny. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. tortola jurors in the case had just finished hearing from 17 prosecution witnesses. one witness that captured their attention in particular was rhode island chiropractor mary basler. >> what about mary? was she your girlfriend on the side? >> she was a girlfriend after shelley's pass. she was not a girlfriend before the passing. >> yet there was a story of a

canoodling at her place with a glass of wine and attempted kiss. >> i'm not going to deny that. did i cross a line that i probably in retrospect would like to have back? sure. but there was no intimacy. >> mary was feeling a bit of a void? >> i think mary was being an emotional friend. she was fun to be with. she was a smart gal. she was empathetic. >> was mary motivation for murder? >> absolutely not. >> what about the letters he wrote her? >> did you give the prosecution ammunition with that? >> he really laid into me. i probably didn't answer things in a way that made the jury happy. >> that idea laid out that with shelley gone, swain would get the money and the girl was a juicy sounding motive. but swain's attorney said it wasn't true. >> the idea of david

intentionally attacking his wife isn't born out by history. he's got no history of violence. he's never raised a hand to anyone in his life. >> yet what else buzz an attack would explain shelley's broken dive gear found on the ocean floor? >> i'd be wondering what's up with the scattered gear. why is this pin off this? >> absolutely. >> this unbreakable piece of gear. the mouthpiece. what happened to this woman? >> all valid questions. the rescue divers manual points to the signs of the panicked diver. and it says that they reject their gear. >> jurors evidence that this was ripped off in an underwater struggle. >> and the struggle might have been with herself. it's routine with panicked people to rip off their gear. >> why does that happen? it seems inexplicable. >> when you are in a panicked situation, rational thought goes out of your brain.

and the only thing that comes into your brain under water when in a panicked situation is getting to the surface. so they start clawing things off. >> and you've seen it. it's documented in the sport. >> i have rode people to the surface slowing them down so they don't go to the surface too fast. replacing the gear as they're ripping it off their faces. >> a fresh angle for jurors to ponder about the puzzling death. could something, a sudden medical issue or a startling sea creature set off a chain of events that caught shelley tyre to fatally panic. they read excerpts from her dive logbook. a diary in which she noted each time she'd lost it a bit to fear. dive 167, some initial panic. dive 183, panic. dive 266, i admit i panicked. dive 274, panicked a little or more. but what about the prosecution's claim that if you believe david

swain's description of his dive, he would have been there when shelley was drowning eight minutes after she entered the water? now the defense said hang on. how do we know shelley stopped breathing after eight minutes? in truth, she was so petite, she was known for using less air than an average diver. if she was just sipping at her air, she could have died well after just as he said. >> i wasn't there. by the time this happened, i was hundreds of yards away. >> but if shelley had died alone, what about that confounding clue on the ocean floor, her dive fin found stuck toe first into the sand? the prosecution argued it was forced in during the attack. the defense wondered about that theory and "dateline" tried it out conducting our own experiment at the twin wrecks site with the help of tortola diver keith royal. >> i went down on the same area and tried to do the same thing

myself with the fin on, and it was impossible. the only way i could get it to stick in the sand was physically with my hands putting it into the sand. >> in other words, royal says someone must have put it there intentionally. but who? >> in court, the defense brought all the pieces together in its theory about what might have happened on shelley tyre's final dive, number 355. a bruise found later in the autopsy had been bothering her on her left foot. so she sticks the fin to retrieve later. perhaps a bit of water leaks into her mask, but it escalates fast. frustration takes hold and mushrooms into full blown panic. she can't tamp it down like before. irrationally, she tears off her mask and rejects her regulator. and out of sight of her husband

david, she fatally loses control. next david swain would take the stand. and dark family secrets were about to be revealed. would they seal his fate or set him free? coming up -- >> i've had decades of horrific things happen to me. >> a painful past and a dramatic turn of events. >> fighting for my life. >> the bombshell that came

we really need to remember that she was this incredible life force. and she had all this energy, positive energy. so every time it came around to the criminal trial, i thought please god let somebody find a way back to letting people know how wonderful she was. >> that special light of shelley tyre, dearly missed by so many who knew her.

was her husband david swain responsible for taking it from the world? or was he an innocent man whose private ways had made a tragic accident only look like murder? a jury in a tortola courtroom would soon decide. but not before david swain himself took the stand to answer questions from his island attorney. >> mr. swain, when you went on the dive with shelley tyre on that 12th of march of 1999, did you kill shelley tyre? >> i did not, could not, would not dream of taking the rock of my life out of the world. that's just -- no, i did not. >> did you in any way during the course of that dive deprive shelley tyre of air? >> the last thing in the world is i would deprive shelley of anything. i certainly didn't of air. >> then it was the prosecution's

turn. >> you held her down. >> i did not. >> made her become unconscious. >> i did not. >> and this was within eight minutes of the dive. >> it was not. i did not. you are making false accusations. >> you got a little edgy on the stand. >> i'm sure i did. >> little abrasive. little in the face. >> i'm fighting for my life. >> missing from his testimony was the grief of a husband who had lost his wife to a diving accident. >> did you get penalized for not showing a turbulent soul that they expected? >> i'm positive i have been penalized for not being what people expect. >> david swain says he's always had trouble expressing emotion in a way people expect. it's a problem he attributes to a very dark and secretive past. >> i've had decades of horrific things happen to me. and the only way that i've survived all of these horrific things that have happened is to

just buckle down and keep marching. >> you had a tough childhood, safe to say? >> safe to say. >> his father was accused of enthusing a family member. >> what can your teenage brain make of that? my father is going to be known as diane? >> since we didn't have a relationship, i didn't think much of it. i suppressed it. >> but nothing was worse than the actions of his brother ricky. >> at the time he was having mental problems. >> my first reaction was boy does he make a nice appearance. clean cut, nice looking young man. >> but former minnesota prosecutor erickson said nothing could be farther from the truth. ricky swain snapped and murdered

his mother in the basement of their home. >> the skull was bashed in two places. there was lots of rage in this death. >> horrible, horrible event. >> yes, it is. >> back in tortola, david swain's psychologist was prepared to explain in court how these horrible events could account for david's emotionless, some say suspicious behavior soon after the death. >> as strategy, i see where that could play both ways. it could blow back and say what is this instability going on in this family? is there a demon seed? people with a pop psychological understanding might say what's going on with this. >> so should a person go to prison for murder because of pop psychological? >> was it a risk? >> i'm sorry, but i didn't have a chance to live this truth. the truth is what it is. i'm just wanting to tell the truth. >> but the defensive strategy was never tested. the judge denied the psychologist the opportunity to testify. in part because he was a

psychologist, not an m.d. so now it was left to the jurors to decide david swain's fate. >> i'm coming to you live here from the supreme court with the news that the jury is currently deliberating. >> then after just five hours came word. there was a vervegt. >> as they're walking in, i pretty much knew. i'm looking at their body language and knew. >> how say you is the accused guilty or not guilty of murder? >> we the jury find the accused guilty. >> guilty of first degree murder. the sentence, 25 years. >> how do you face that kind of time? >> one day at a time. >> give me a quick thumbnail of what your cell was like. >> six by ten, couple of bunks. a commode, a sink. no screen on the bars. so the window, anything and everything would come in. >> bugs?

>> bugs were the easy part. it's the rats, the animals, all the other things. those were the hard parts. >> david swain settled back into the misery of prison life. his only comfort was the prospect of an appeal. >> did you think you had a ghost o after chance? >> i did. this wasn't a good trial. this wasn't a fair trial. >> almost two years after his guilty verdict, david swain returned to court. a three-judge appellate panel listened to more than three hours of oral arguments. and then did something no one anticipated. >> they had the judge end it all by looking at me and saying mr. swain, you're free to go. you know, obviously my mouth dropped open. and i'm in shock again. so i just sit there for, i don't know, 15, 20 seconds. the bailiff guy he nudges me and quietly says, you got to get up and walk out now. >> why did he walk? >> the panel believed in part that the trial judge had been

biased toward the prosecution in her instructions to the jury. what's more, they ruled swain shouldn't be retried because too much time had passed since shelley's death to get a fair trial. so just like that, david swain was a free man. >> that was one of the most surreal moments in my life. >> did you think about shelley as you left the island? >> i think about shelley almost every day. but yes, i was thinking about her that day. >> david swain is now living back in rhode island. not far from the home he once shared with shelley. >> you ever pinch yourself sometimes you're back in new england? >> it's good looking over at jamestown and looking at this body of water where i have spent years exploring and teaching and enjoying. >> but it's also home to many people who remain convinced david swain got away with murder. >> is there still a cloud over you? are people always going to say david swain, he got away with killing his wife? that he was cut loose on a

technicality? >> that's their opinion. i can't tell you what to think. i don't want to tell you what to think. if you want to hear the facts, i'll be happy to share the facts. but i'm not going to spend a lot of energy trying to change something that you've made up your mind on. >> shelley's gravestone is also close by for those who loved and apyre e amired her to visit. >> if i was to ask shelley what do i do about this, given the situation she would say focus on the here and now. find the good in everybody you see around you. see life's blessings. if you need help, i'll point them out for you. that's what she would do. >> that's all for now. i'm lester holt. thanks for joining us.
