and a second or two later, the hutting and i remember praying, just please take what you want and -- and just leave us alone.r: but, of course, leaving them alone was not what the strange, intrusive presence had in mind. not even close. a night of terror only just beginning. no one was prepared for what would happen only seconds later. scream, oh, my god, oh, my god. >> marie tells detectives a , but they're not sure they believe it. >> to me that was very odd. r keeping you protected every week, every month, every year

her up. it, whatever, shrinking away. and the fear that took over her body. maybe she prayed for those horrifying seconds. how many seconds? three? five seconds?ss the hall, angie. >> i heard the bedroom door open, and i had been in such a hard sleep, i just assumed it was justin leaving to go to the bathroom.then i heard a pop, pop, pop. >> and it sounded very muffled, so i'm thinking, that could not be a gunshot., unaware that her world was quite different now, angie opened her eyes. >> and i rolled over and saw unning out of the bedroom, and i knew that was

justin, justin. scream, oh, my god, oh, my god. i knew something terrible had happened. >> i turned on the light. and i just ran out of the bedroom, down the hall. im? >> i didn't. >> reporter: you just knew? >> yeah.he bedroom doorway, and i saw justin laying on his back on the right side ofth his head tilted. and i could see a bullet hole in his head, and i could see blood neck. >> my instinct was to figure out how they got in the house. we had a really big window. i checked to see if that was closed.. checked the front door. that was still locked. saw that the back door was unlock opened it a little bit. and then i was like, that's not a good idea, so i closed it.

right away that everything was the man you loved was dead?t was one of those moments where you just want to go back two minutes.inutes ago, he was laying beside me, and he was alive.now he's gone forever. >> reporter: but in that moment, her brain, her fingers, wouldn't cooperate. >> what they say about not being in an emergency is very true. i had to try like three different times. somebody just came in anin the head. >> ma'am, what's your name? >> angie. >> can you go over and check the status of -- i know he is. >> reporter: marie called 911, too.

somebody.o you know who was shot? >> my son, justin michael. >> reporter: a few minutes the polk county sheriff's office arrived and looked around the house as the two women sat in the living room in complete silence. >> as we were sitting there m the tv, we noticed that the dvd player had been pulled out and there was a fluorescent yellow sweatshirt laying there, which -- >> reporter: didn't belong?idn't belong. we pointed it out to the officer, and it was neither one of ours. >> reporter: was that what happened? a robber hitting the wrong place, wrong person? deputies then told them, get your things, we're taking you out of the house. >> i couldn't go back into the bedroom.dn't have my glasses on. >> reporter: they were in there.need my glasses.

her glasses from the nightstand in their bedroom.o back into their bedroom one more time.in, and i told him good-bye and how much i loved him and how i couldn'tad happened to him. >> reporter: is it even possible to understand what it does to you to look through the door andson lying there with a bullet hole in his head? >> it was something in ayears you could not imagine. who could have done that to my hurt a fly? had never spoken ill of anybody, or to my knowledge, had any enemies or -- it just was unfathomable. sheriff's deputies took angie and marie outside and put them in separatethey sat and

quite stunned. before they took her cell phone, marie called her husband, weldon.o hurry. >> i wondered when i heard the news, whether they had gotten into the wrong house.bizarre. >> reporter: reality failed to gel in weldon's head. from minneapolis down, i mean, i couldn't believe it. i expected to see him there when i got there. a mistake. i asked if justin was all right, and then she said, no, that he was gone.ing of isolation and -- i could see, you know, people in and out of the house. i could see detectives with flashlights combing the all around his house. >> crime scene. >> crime scene.ng three hours of my life, just sitting there

>> news reporters were setting verywhere. and there's so many police cars, and they weren't saying, we got the guy. and like i just felt, they don't they need to catch him. i know i'm safe, but is everybody else i love safe? ntually, they drove both women, separately, to the sheriff's headquarters, where they installed them in eparate interviews because something about this didn't smell right. >> there wasotion, and to me that was very odd. >> detectives become concerned else, too. did it say anything to you that these two women in the house, one of them lying right beside

there's crime tape up. >> reporter: and nobody's saying what happened? >> and neighbors are starting tog on here? >> reporter: anxiety is like a virus. it spread fast in grimes. >> yeah, they were nervous. people don't just get shot in and they knew justin michael and angie and couldn't imagine anything happening there. >> reporter: and if reporters ors were mystified about what happened, so was detective robyn bartholomew.call detective. i got called out at 3:30 in the morning. >> reporter: who confronted a messy blood you crime scene, a victim shot point blank in the head.as his fiancee without a mark on her. blood tends to spatter. but there wasn't a drop on angie.w far apart were they? >> right next to each other. >> reporter: has that ever happened in your experience that you've encountered that before?t i've encountered. >> reporter: did it say anything to you, that these two women in

right beside the victim were unharmed?t was suspicious. >> reporter: yes, and also if the killer was intent on robbery, he certainly didn't succeed.pulled out of its place in the living room? that was it, said detective tim hopper. nothing else was t >> well, it didn't make sense. >> reporter: did it make sense as a burglary? i mean -- >> reporter: -- as an attempted burglary? >> no. >> reporter: so if it wasn't an attempted burglary, why would somebody be messing around wiit. to try to throw people off track. >> reporter: mind you, there was that sweatshirt that didn't had the killer, in his rush to escape, left it behind? while officers tried to track that down, angie and marie were at the sheriff's office in separate interview rooms answering a lot of pointed questions. >> why not kill you, too? >> i don't know if he looked in

woke up and he sensed trouble. >> i mean, why not kill angie? >> reporter: and this was weird. somehow, said detective w, their tone just didn't seem right. especially angie's. to what had just happened, that she would be very emotionally upset.s just like a regular interview. it didn't make sense. >> reporter: and her fiance had . >> yes. >> reporter: her whole life had been turned upside-down, on its head. >> yeah. >> but she's calm somehow.alm. >> reporter: like when she told detective hopper about the intruder who had just fired several bullets right through beside her. an intruder she saw just a few feet away.

you can.all black. i'd say probably -- i would say pretty tall.y small guy, so he's probably taller than justin. seem a little bigger build. >> when you say black, you're talking black as in? >> everything was black. i couldn't -- ack person? >> i don't know. i didn't see any color. i just saw -- >> so you're talking black as in a shadow?, yeah. >> reporter: did that arouse any suspicion, that maybe she was involved in this somehow? >> reporter: so detective bartholomew pulled angie and marie's 911 calls. >> he's dead. >> somebody came in and shot somebody. >> reporter: and? >> same thing. i juter: curiously devoid of

>> very much so. i think there was panic.ing to it, i just think that there was some distance there from the -- you know, the caller to the victim.till suspect in this because we have to find out why did someone isolate justin and want him dead.e a lot of emotion from the mother or angie. and so that was concerning.ou have to go where the leads take you to. >> reporter: so you do. but just then, the leads were going in circles nowhere. investigators start digging into justin's past, and their line of questioning triggers concerns for angie.hinking was i about to

when justin michael was shot to death while lying asleep in his very own bed, right beside oving fiancee,

when in doubt, suspect all >> it didn't dawn on me that i could have been a suspect or angie. it didn't dawn on me a bit. know, their minds do have to go to strange places when they're detectives. that's what they do. but -- >> i understand that.ut it was the calm demeanor, the apparent lack of emotion in justin's fiancee, angie ver huel, that attracted the particular interest of ew and hopper. and so they pushed her a little. wondered aloud, not so idly, if known the killer or, perish the thought, even colluded with that shadowy person, whoever it might be.e interest. someone in his or her past. more likely hers. justin's relationships.

he did -- had dated, but no one that seemed to cause a concern. so i went into angie's relationships. >> reporter: angie had been divorced in 2010. concern as far as -- >> no. >> reporter: and there was no particular bad blood? >> no. nothing.s no children involved. there was nothing other than the relationship that ended. >> reporter: but then, angie revealed, she got involved with a guy named andy. moved in with him, lived with him for three years. and then -- this was unusual -- with him even after their romance ended. andy, or so she said, was well en she met justin. hard to know what, if anything, to make of that. but then angie told the detective about some strange s. especially peculiar for grimes. sort of thing that just doesn't happen here. it was one night back in november, she said. she'd parked her car on the ht in front of

and when she emerged in the morning? >> i saw the back window had been hit in.s like, oh, my gosh. and then i went around saw that two of the other windows had been hit in. >> reporter: she was shocked, she said.se to tell justin. they called the police.came and looked at it and noticed that it had been keyed, that it looked like somebody had thrown something at the windshield was a big dent on the hood. >> reporter: but that wasn't the only incident, said angie.nto the backyard and vandalized justin's prized fruit trees. >> there were branches that were snipped off and eventually he trees. why would somebody come into his yard and ruin things that he had tried to grow? >> reporter: so, was the warning? did justin actually understand that he was a target?

fiance quite as well as she after all, execution-style murders, as the detectives knew very well, often turn out to have something to do with illegal drugs. guys get high? did you party a little bit? >> no. >> no drugs involvement whatsoever? ever sell drugs? >> not that i know of. >> reporter: but detective hopper felt it in his veins. d up. >> this morning, justin was t and murdered. you wasn't. >> i know. >> marie wasn't. >> i know. >> okay? look at me a second, angie, and listen. there wasn't a burglary in your that takes away the randomness.

i mean -- re aware of. no. >> okay. >> and somebody came in there for one sole purpose and that was to execute him.omeone was very personal. if for any reason you'd be protecting somebody that you care about, i need to know. >> because this is not acceptable. >> when they were doing their police thing and coming up with drugs and money, gambling, the question just kept being asked, is it possible that these things could and of course, everything's a possibility. for a moment i was thinking was arry somebody that i had no idea who he was? >> reporter: oh, but there were so many questions.

angie tells detectives about from her past who once did something disturbing. >> that to me was kind of like little creepy. >> but does it have anything to do with the case? 40 hours, that's a lot of communication yeah yay love!for 100 bucks, plus $15 per line s all-new flavorfilled pastas, with raviolis so nice we filled them twice. bursting with indulgent flavors li, or smoked mozzarella manicotti. plus unlimited salad and breadsticks. starting at $12.99. for a limited time. at olive garden. got a house full of guests on the way and a cold with

detective robyn bartholomew was convinced of one thing in particular. justin michael's fiancee, angie, had to be the key to solving e here in grimes, iowa. >> i maybe thought even though she was engaged, maybe there washe side. >> reporter: right. and if there's a boyfriend on the side, either the boyfriend wanted to get rid of the competition or she wanted to getso she could be with the other one? >> yeah. some kind of love triangle. ds devious to say such a thing, but these things actually do happen, right? >> oh, very much so. >> reporter: detective her suspicions in check while her partner, detective hopper, continued to

very few of those, according to angie.nd her ex-boyfriend andy. and then, three hours into the interview -- of a sudden a name came up of someone that actually she had dated. an acquaintance that she had metreak-up with andy and her meeting justin. >> it was not a full-on relationship. >> did you just not remember him when we talked about it before?ell, i hadn't -- i mean, i had thought about him, but it was kind of like a couple of months of hanging out, and it was kind of like a here or there. and he, i feel, like, wasn't being very serious. so i wasn't being very serious with it. >> reporter: and who was this >> his name is dave. >> okay.

>> what is his last name now? dave. dave. dave. dave. why i can't think of it right now. >> reporter: wait, she couldn't remember his last name?d. when did you first start seeing dave? >> the weekend after andy and i it was kind of just like a silly thing and -- >> where did you meet him at? >> just at a bar. whatever. this guy's a funny guy. >> reporter: angie told detective hopper she didn't spend much time with dave.xted each other and met up at bars a few times.d, i guess in this day and age relationship, where we only saw each other about once a week. then the rest of our strictly through text messaging. i don't think we ever spoke on the phone.

very, like, playful in nature almost.ype of relationship. >> but it was intimate? >> it eventually did get intimate, but not right away. >> and then it was kind of like a once a week thing. we'd hang out on like friday nights, generally. >> reporter: and then, of ng changed. >> and then i met justin. >> reporter: and she got the might be the real thing. so she started avoiding dave. did he sense something? maybe.ve sent angie a text that referred to a reality television show. >> he had made the comment, i'm our final red rose. and that to me was kind of a little creepy, knowing i didn't feel that same way. >> reporter: right. you hadn't given him any sign that you felt that way? >> right.talked about being

i mean, when you're seeing somebody maybe once a week and ng the other times -- caught me off guard a little bit. >> reporter: then, just after e with justin -- >> that's when i told dave like, i met this other guy, so i had told dave that i was going to our plans friday because of this. >> reporter: and, as angie said, when you know, you know, remember?er girlfriends how should i break up with dave? >> like, is it appropriate to do this through text messaging?up with him? and they were like, no. go ahead and do it through text messaging. you don't owe this guy anything.o she did. diplomatically. she tried to be kind, she said. and i said, hey, i want to be completely up front and honest with you, and

we're done. his response was, i knew you've been running around behind my back.seen each other for at least two weeks at this point. >> reporter: it was hardly a reight. >> reporter: he didn't take it so well. unpleasant? >> yes. i was trying to be kind. he was not.hat did he say? >> he said some kind of nasty things about me as a person. and then at one point he told me and die. and then that was then followed by niceties and wanting to work things out.r: oh? >> so it was really back and forth all day. and at one point, it became obvious that he wasn't going to let it go.y quit responding. >> reporter: you never heard from him again? >> yeah.me the next day saying i don't feel like this is over.

so after that, yes, i never heard from him at all. 2013, 11 months before justin was shot to death. angie told the detective all that.he least, that angie swore she could not remember the guy's last name. >> did you ever think about what? >> i keep trying to think of it. dave. dave. dave. dave.ve. i do not know why i'm drawing such a blank. >> reporter: really? detective hopper turned up the heat.f the first things that i had asked you at the very beginning is who, before justin, who was your relationship, and you said andy. >> uh-huh.ou left dave out. >> right. >> for whatever reason, and it at this point

is there any possibility that else that while you've been with justin that you've maintained any relationship with anyone? >> no.nd then, finally, after more than 30 minutes of questions about this dave guy, her, she said. >> i remember dave's last name, by the way. >> and that is? >> moffitt. >> moffitt. reporter: moffitt. david moffitt. a name that meant nothing at all. ikely. but remember that business about luck? most useful investigative tool . new suspicions are raised as detectives realize two of the people in the case are connected by one remarkable coincidence.pany of 10,000 people here in des moines, what are the odds that they would be in the same -- >> in the same cubicle they were.adside encounter

parents about it. >> he just said it was an awkward situation but there was no problem. the alignment of that is astronomical. >> in a company of 10,000 people here in des moines, what are the odds that they would be in the same -- bical, they were. >> reporter: but they got on fine. never any bad blood. and david moffitt had no criminal record. so should detectives add him to their list of suspects or what?, i don't know if i have the complete story regarding dave or not. >> reporter: coincidences. sometimes they come in clusters, don't they?long after angie's memory coughed up the name dave moffitt, there was another coincidence. needed to continue and focus on dave and see where that leads us. the first thing that was done make-up of dave to include to see if he had a weapons permit.

weapons permit was being another office person heard the name and recognized dave moffitt.ely said, he had a car impounded this morning. not only was it impounded, it was impounded approximately within 30 minutes of the homicide.y 4:00 in the morning. and it was six miles approximate north of where the homicide occurred.offitt resided approximately 28 miles southeast of where the homicide occurred. >> reporter: wow. well, that would be a red flag that's for sure. >> that was.r investigation, we learned that he had actually had an accident. >> reporter: so they pulled the accident report and read about strange encounters just off highway 141 starting at 4:00 that morning. a place which, by all rights, rose, cop number one, should never have been that particular morning.

and early on the 8th of may se was adjusting. >> as i was traveling back from the hospital in des moines.grandma was ill in the hospital. >> reporter: still in his own clothes, not in uniform yet, he was on his way to a 5:00 a.m. town of boone, 25 miles or so up the road where officer rose is an investigator with the local police department. and it was very dark on the highway, no moon at all at that hour.e almost missed it. there in the ditch maybe 30 yards off the pavement. and what did you see?eling up the road i saw a car, it would be off here to our -- to my right, sitting on top of the ditch just on the other sidele. >> reporter: just over here where the grass is? door hanging open on it, look like airbags deployed, dome light was on. >> reporter: it appeared the car was headed for the highway but

gravel access road.d up, near as he could to the crashed car. >> just as soon as i'd stopped and noticed that there was the car, nobody around the car, i was sitting in my vehicle, someone, a male approached my vehicle, knocked on the door ankind of off behind me to my left, knocked on my window and kind of startled me a little bit, you know. he could get some assistance, get a ride. offered to pay me to give him a ride. and i told him that quite frankly i didn't feel comfortable with dter: between that and having to get to work and this not being his jurisdiction, cory called his dispatch.i'm out with a vehicle in a ditch. could you contact the authorities in polk county, see if we can get somebody to come out here?aid they'd have somebody out here as soon as possible, they were tied up on a shooting in grimes. >> reporter: so cory left for his shift. and when polk county jason tart responded to the call from

an accident. >> yeah, he was going pretty fast. corner. >> just unfamiliar with the area and driving too fast for gravel. >> reporter: but it was odd in, the driver of that car, david moffitt, was nowhere to be seen. >> so i get out of the car and inking, okay, maybe they were ejected. so i go and start searching the area to see -- make sure they weren't thrown out of the car.ng ready to get back into my car, and i hear somebody yell, i need help. i was like, was this your car? yeah, that's my car.close to me, he has this real -- like a very sweet smell coming off of him. so i automatically okay, this is a dwi.r: why would you say a sweet smell means a drunken driving thing? >> just the time of day, and single vehicle. i mean, it just kind of goes been drinking. >> reporter: was he glad to see you?

to see me, but -- were potentially going to rescue him from a bad situation you'd think. >> he saw somebody that might be able to help him, but i don't know if he was necessarily happy to see me.id moffitt told him he was on his way home from visiting his brother that night. >> so then i basically asked 's no way in chance maybe you're -- visited a friend in grimes tonight? >> reporter: now, why would you at up? >> there had been just been within an hour, a homicide had s. the suspect was still unaccounted for. >> reporter: and you got a guy who's sweating and smelling sweet? >> exactly. reporter: what did he say? >> i don't even know where the town is. >> reporter: everything about david moffitt made the deputy feel anxious. >> all the hair -- not on my head, but all the hair on my body was standing on edge.weird. i mean, he's just a regular guy, right? didn't seem to be armed or anything. you're a cop and you got your weapon, and you're still feeling nervous?asn't armed because i did just a patdown for

because if you're going to sit in my car, you're not going to . >> reporter: but he still made you nervous? >> extremely nervous. >> reporter: but turned out david hadn't been drinking.to arrest him. still, the deputy's instincts kicked in.looked through his car, and i couldn't find insurance. so i impounded it for not having insurance with an accident. drivable anyway. he sent david home in a cab. after reading deputy tart's report, detectives bartholomew had to act fast. there could be clues still on y 141, and surprises too. one of those surprises, this crinkled receipt.

of the night. the reporters knew only this -- they'd been sent here because ofspicious death, and it was related somehow to this house. then as he waited for somebody to tell them something, they got a tip.rter stephanie moore. >> we heard that sheriff's deputies were walking the fields along highway 141.be the highway you would take from des moines to go to grimes. and they were just walking these fields. and we asked them, are you no. are you looking for someone? we can't say. but the public's not in any danger.ppened in grimes is related to this, and it's an isolated incident. >> reporter: and they're just walking up and down. >> just walking the fi looking for something? >> you know, in a line, so they kind of how they do it if there's a missing child but we thought maybe they weror a weapon. >> reporter: good guess. in fact, that small army of cops was looking for anything that

because hours earlier, david moffitt's car went off the road around here.d facts were piling up. moffitt had worked with justin, dated angie, and wrecked his car the morning of the murder just six miles away.that piqued our interest very quickly. that moved david moffitt to the top of the list.unty prosecutors steve foritano and bret lucas had been involved all along. >> we sent the detectives and ol officers to that location, highway 141, to see what else they could find in that area that might be of use ing in terms of the investigation. >> reporter: that's why the locals saw all these police officers wandering up and down the field as if they were r something. they were. >> they were. >> reporter: and imagine what they found there in a ditch along the highway.most important thing was they found loaded magazines. they had the same type of ammo that was found at the crime

and the shell casings found at ene matched that type of ammunition found in the ditch at highway 141. >> reporter: right there in the ditch near where the car crashed?actually across the highway and a little bit farther down, but within 500 yards of where the crash occurred. they also located in that ditch some paper targets that you for shooting target practice. some shooter's ear muffs, a camo that you'd wear -- you could wear as a mask. >> reporter: like somebody preparing for an act of terror or an execution. clearly, david moffitt was their killer. had to be. and then?hat they say about assumptions. those cops found something else near the accident scene.thing that could make a person wonder what in heaven's name is going on here.thing in a shoebox. >> the shoes were not in it but

one of the things that were ipt from a local car dealership, and the receipt was for a purchase of three oil changes.andrew wegener. >> reporter: andrew wegener, the boyfriend angie lived with before justin. weird. another guy without a criminal record.ntly ordinary person, a des moines funeral director, in his case. and yet, there it was in black and white, among all of those eces of evidence, andrew wegener. how did he explain that? >> at that time, you don't. >> reporter: so, did andy michael, the man who replaced him in angie's heart? >> we immediately went toness and brought him back to headquarters for questioning. and we ask him about his relationship with angie.r: and more to the point perhaps his relationship, or the lack of it, with justin. >> have you ever met justin? >> once.t?

johnston. >> just random run-in or was it a gathering?gathering with kind of a group of friends.gement party. >> was justin the person who she was in a relationship after you broke up with her or was there someone else? >> there might have beenetween. i don't have any idea. >> but you don't know? >> no. >> the last time you got in touch with angie would have been when? >> she sent a text message to me that said "happy birthday" and i said "okay, thanks." >> and that was it. >> i'm asking andy about whether or not he's missing anything.ls me about the receipt for the oil changes. >> reporter: the receipt in the shoebox, the reason for suspicion and all these >> and i stay on the receipt because that's where my interest is at. and he believes that he's in possession of the receipt.y said he thought the receipt was either

>> if it turned up somewhere that happen? if it's somewhere other than >> it blew away? that's about it. >> any ideas how it could turn nvestigation? >> reporter: then detective hopper asked andy about guns. >> do you go shooting at all? >> shooting? >> yeah. >> i have a 12-gauge. i haven't shot it in six years. >> do you have any handguns? >> no. >> okay. what he did the night before. >> yesterday, what time did you get off work?off at -- 4:00? >> okay.ugh what occurred from 4:00 yesterday until we showed up at your

the u is what they call it.ago. >> what's a while mean to you? >> three weeks to a month -- three or four weeks at least. it's been a while.bunch of guys that get together, we pay five bucks and are able to shoot around in this place for a couple hours. check, make sure we're good to go. >> sure. >> reporter: the detectives exhausted their questions, took k, apparently in the clear. unaware that andy's name was about to turn up one more time very suspicious place. investigators have been looking for a single killer, but a fresh on in a whole new direction. there's evidence to suggest that there's some sort of conspiracy

else, always wanted to do for other people.s much in love as angie said she was, the detectives had learned over the years, you never know. they needed to search her phone,who she talked to in the hours and days just before they also got a search warrant for david moffitt's house. and inside? he murder weapon. but they did find these strange seemed to have been ho had been watching justin and angie's neighborhood. >> those surveillance notes listed addresses in the immediate area around the crime scene.ere very specific about when neighbors were turning on and off their lights. the creek behind the house is -- is it wide enough where i can ? obviously, it looked like a way to make an escape once the murder was done. >> reporter: but then they foundd like the motherlode, a bill of sale.

name -- >> reporter: yeah! >> -- but there it was in david moffitt's house.r: that is, the bill of sale for a 0.9 millimeter carbine.the document, bold as brass, was indeed andy wegener. how was that remotely possible? it's more evidence to suggest that there's some sort of conspiracy involved here. >> it's too early to really rulet. we wanted to find out if andy was the actual purchaser of that weapon. fortunately, that bill of sale gave us the lead to where the weapon came from.eporter: his name was right here -- drew bahlmann. and here he is. he's a small town high school english teacher in a little ed sigourney 90 miles or so from des moines. there is something you can do with a degree in english? >> yes, there is. and i love my job.english teacher who likes to tell stories. and this one? sort of thing that would make an interesting plot for a novel,

>> reporter: drew is a self-described nerd. he also is a target shooter and tector enthusiast. he's forever digging up old coins and such. loves it. mind you, there's only so much a ferret out using equipment that's -- well, to say down market may sound cruel but -- >> the metal detector that i wanted was about $600. >> reporter: are you out of your mind? >> no.uy a $600 metal detector? >> uh-huh. that's even like the mid-range. you can spend upwards of l detector if you wanted to. >> reporter: you're getting pper case nerd? >> very much so, yes. >> reporter: so he figured he'd nd use the cash to buy that new metal detector. >> it's what the state of iowa calls a long gun. it's something that you put to your shoulder and you shoot like a rifle or shotgun. so i listed it online, on armslist, it's like craiglist >> reporter: what did you ask for it? >> $360. >> reporter: about a month

e-mail.that i needed cash and i needed a photo i.d. so i knew he was who he said he was, and that he was at least 21. >> reporter: who did he say he was?was andy wegener, and that was the e-mail address that he had contacted me from, was andy wegener something-or-other at gmail.com. meet? >> i work part-time at a gas station. it's public. and if something bad were to happen, i know of at least two or three people that are in the area a lot that would probably rescue. >> reporter: is that the kind of thing you have to do when you sell a weapon? >> that's the thing i do when i sell a weapon because i've got entirely too much to lose. i have a job. that i love them both. i did not want to jeopardize those. we met at the station.le in the back end of my car, and then i filled out a bill of sale, because i wanted to make sure that this was trackable. i kept a copy.. we reviewed everything to make sure that it was what he wanted and make sure everything was, you know, up to snuff. >> reporter: you saw his photo i.to i.d.

information? >> i'm kind of a pack rat by nature.teacher nature, you don't throw anything away. so all of the e-mail conversations that he and i had, i kept.sages between he and i, i kept. and i still had pictures that i on armslist. those were still on my home computer. and as he was leaving, again, to cover myself, i wrote down the license plate number. careful guy. >> i am. >> reporter: was he a nice fellow? >> for the very limited interaction we had, yeah. he seemed very nice, very normal. d it. i showed him how. >> reporter: and that was it? off he went? >> off he went. >> reporter: and then, a few days later, the school secretaryage. a polk county detective wanted to talk to him right away. >> and my very first thought erpreted the law wrong when i had looked up the iowa codes and i'm going to jail. >> reporter: you immediately thought about selling that weapon? came to my mind. why else would a polk county detective be calling me?

>> reporter: scary thought? >> it was very scary becauseany precautions. i called the detective. and he said, drew, did you sell a firearm recently?y second thought, yes, i am going to jail. i have completely screwed everything up.orthright, be honest. i said, yes, i did. he asked me to describe what it was.a 0.9 millimeter carbine. he said, drew, we have reason to believe that that weapon was used in the commission of a crime.t sank. what happened? i have no idea. and he told me it was used in a murder, and i about dropped my phone.o you, i unwittingly took part as an accessory in somebody's death. i felt terrible about that. >> reporter: you felt that way, that you were an accessory?ld you feel? i mean, i sold something to a man, to a person who later used that to take somebody's life. >> reporter: yeah. >> terrible.

rationalized it, i've gone to a counselor about it. i still feel bad about it. >> reporter: what's the guns don't kill people -- >> people kill people. >> and i still believe that.hat method. >> reporter: later that day, detective hopper drove out to meet with drew, who turned over text messages. he'd saved them all. as well as photos of the rifle, , a scope and red laser pointer attached to the weapon, part of the deal. >> and i asked him if he had anyfrom the weapon that he sold. he went, left, and came back shortly after and had 63 casings. >> reporter: wow.ke to keep things. >> yes.st of those casings were tulammo, 0.9 millimeter. >> reporter: the same ones that were found at the murder scene. >> and at the crash site.o bought the carbine? >> we still don't know where

>> reporter: so, could drew i.d.hoto lineup? detectives show drew pictures of david and andy. >> he said, that's very odd. he said, this is strange. the killer's true identity finally be revealed in this most unlikely place? >> the red tub ended up being a gold mine of evidence. where are you?irrels are back in the attic. mom? your dad won't call an exterminator... can i call you back, mom? he says it's personal this time... if you're a mom,e worst time. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. r it's what you do. it's very loud there. are you taking at zumba class? jay knows how to keep his wheels spinning. nice shorts, dad... they don't make 'em in adult sizes?

i really thought it was a random act.asion. >> reporter: so during the course of that day, you were

>> correct. the investigation raced forward, the polk county sheriff's office told justin michael's family virtually nothing. d the man who sold the murder weapon, nor that they had to figure out who he actually sold it to.surely whoever bought the gun must have been the killer. >> i asked him at that point to look at the photo line-ups. photographs i showed him contained the photograph of david moffitt. mr. bahlmann looked at it and hebe 100% certain. he said, the guy had a hat on, had sunglasses on. he goes, i wish i would have had him take it off.pointed at a picture of david moffitt and said, i'm 90% sure that that's the person i sold the gun to. >> reporter: what happened when he looked at the picture andy wegener? >> when i showed him the photo line-up with andy wegener, he looked at it and immediately nted to andy wegener and said, that's very

this is strange. he was confused. he goes, that looks like the sold the gun to. he picked out both of them, so we still have our questions. >> reporter: it was all very confusing. that david moffitt and andy wegener look similar. so one last thing to try. earlier, when deputies searched s house, they found the bill of sale for that carbine. but they also discovered a receipt for lemonade and a candyllar general store in the very town where the rifle was purchased. >> so i requested video from that store. into the store, still wearing the hat but the sunglasses are hanging off of his shirt. and the video depicts david moffitt.ell, well, well. >> and he purchases a lemonade and a candy bar. >> reporter: which may have settled the question of who murder weapon. but here was another question.

of andy wegener's i.d.? had all kinds of reasons for wanting to talk to david moffitt. they picked him up about 15 hours after the shooting. took himstalled him in an interview room. and? no dice.d a lawyer. >> reporter: and just like that, you're done. >> i sat there for approximately an hour with him, offering him a phone book, a means to reach his. because we still wanted to attempt to talk with him even if his attorney was present. >> reporter: david moffitt wouldn't talk, but it hardly mattered. the evidence they already had and charge him with first degree murder. by now detectives understood that angie had nothing to do r. that what seemed like a lack of emotion in angie's demeanor and marie's, too, for that matter, was shock. pure shock.hought that david could be the man who killed the love of her life hit angie while

t calm, she was overcome.ame up and we talked about that. and the detective came back with a picture of him -- >> do you know this person?s dave. and i said, that's him. and i immediately started isibly upset. >> i'm just so -- that he had something to do with it and whate caused all of this? and the detective was, what's going on? he's the one who did it, it's all my fault. >> reporter: what do you mean by that?se i was the one who had broken off the relationship. i was the one who ignored him

suddenly become mr. sweetness and light? i just felt like it was -- i brought this ustin's life. >> reporter: but the prosecutors needed more evidence if they e that david moffitt was the man angie saw as a monster. how, for example, did david get an i.d. with andy wegener's name on it? unless andy was somehow ? >> one of the discoveries during that first search warrant was a top. and that laptop was never found during that first search warrant. >> reporter: so the prosecutors wrote a second search warrant. and voila.nd it. but maybe too late. >> they discovered it in the bottom of a red tub that had a few inches of water in the bottom of it.ter: and you know how computers hate water. but the waterlogged laptop wasn't all they found.

>> reporter: like what? >> they found ammunition that ended up being consistent with the ammunition found at the crime scene. >> shoebox they found near the car crash? it was a nevados brand shoebox.offitt's red tub? what do you know? >> in that red tub were those size 11. >> reporter: it's almost like he was laying the trap for himself. >> absolutely. >> reporter: they sent the wet laptop off to the computer lab, hs could find something on it. and surprise, surprise, they did.ff of that computer, we were able to find the work that david moffitt had done to createwegener's name. >> reporter: that's the one david presented to the school bahlmann. he also created a fake andy wegener e-mail address and stole

andy's car.ade it obvious, said the prosecutors, david moffitt planned to get away with murder by framing a perfectly man, andy wegener. what kind of a mind is behind that sort of behavior? >> very cold, very calculating.us amount of planning and premeditation that went into this murder. and he tried to execute it so not be blamed, that he would get away with it. >> reporter: and remember that sweatshirt left behind after the shooting, as if the killer had been sloppy?sweatshirt was a boat registration that we could not figure out why it was there and what its meaning was at the time.ral months later, we learned that that boat registration belonged to the registered sex offender that lived within a few blocks of the crime scene. so it appeared to us, once we made that connection, that that o cast

else. >> reporter: so convicting david moffitt of first degree murder about as easy a task as a prosecutor could ask for. or maybe not.l begins. and everyone will learn new details about the night of the murder.nfathomable. it's a twilight zone. >> revelations no one will believe. >> that's pretty crazy, isn't it? we' re non stop, we' ve gotta have our extra protein. k non fat yogurt has 15 grams of protein. zero artificial sweetener and zero fat. e back! oikos triple zero. be unstoppable. mmm dannon

trials are really g because you get to really hear the whole picture. >> several detectives as well as law enforcement officials -- >> reporter: finally, said tv anie moore, after months of secrecy, they gathered in june 2015 at the polk county courthouse in des moines those wild details behind the murder of justin michael. first time the public heard any of it.tin's family and fiancee finally understood what happened.and the prosecutors had shared no information with us other than the fact of who they arrested.

hearings could be confusing and painful. >> as things started to come outi texted andy and i said, how did he get your i.d.?e, i don't know. and i just had that feeling of, what if andy had something to do with this?secutors have good reason for keeping the details of their cases from the n from the family. >> we don't want the publicity of the evidence to taint the jury panel. >> reporter: but now, as the hey were quite confident they had all the evidence they needed even without the still-missing murder weapon.at happened to snit it? i mean, he crashed the car apparently right away. he either got rid of it before then or --at least is that some time between him getting

officers were back out there sive search and being arrested that evening, he was able to get back and retrieve the weapon and throw ite. >> reporter: and then once it's in the lake, there's no way you're going to find it. >> not without a lot of work. >> reporter: but with all the ollected, prosecutors felt they had enough. >> with the physical evidence that we were able to get, specifically from drew bahlmann ide scene and at david moffitt's house from a ballistics perspective, we were able to connect all of those dots. >> reporter: the state showed ullet casings and ammunition magazines, targets for practice shooting, david's reconnaissance notes, a kindle of justin's neighborhood, a can of pepper spray, even a flashlight that, careful planning, ultimately betrayed him. it was something that caught the attention of justin's sister, sydney, and brother, nathan.o times that he reacted significantly in the

found a fingerprint on the battery in the flashlight.loves when he was carrying the flashlight, but not when he was putting the batteries in the flashlight. and when they said that, he goes, ah.r: as if david just then understood his error. it was at the trial, said justin's mom, that she finally learned what that red light in it was not some kind of strange flashlight as she thought. it was a red laser pointer, most likely attached to the murder weapon. at my face.ring thought. that's -- sitting at the trial brought back a lot of trauma issues, and that being one of them.the other thing that really bothered me was finding out that this guy had the gun six inches ce when he shot

>> because we had thought, you know, he was in the hallway, at y. and somehow it makes it even more invasive, you know, that he executed somebody. >> reporter: it was an execution, yeah. >> and you actually look at and make that choice to kill him. to me, that's just beyond it's just unfathomable still ht zone." >> reporter: the prosecutors saved david moffitt's computer searches for last, and then the jury and everybody else heard d up on his laptop in the days before the murder -- a window into the mind of a killer.urdering murder guide you'll ever need. seriously.

polk county.in grimes. what does hell look like. and so on and so on. interesting that he would ask looks like. >> there's some reference to the confessional times. >> reporter: that is, times when some local priest would be available.ath would swear him to secrecy. >> he obviously was concerned about what was going to happen mmit this murder. >> that day that all of the computer stuff came out was a particularly brutal day in court for me. was hard for me to handle. i had to leave and decided i couldn't go back in the afternoon because it was just --rwhelming. >> reporter: you say it was too hard to hear. you couldn't actually go back.what made it so hard?
