that is definitely a dream closet. now, i don't know if i could fill it, but i would definitely want to give it a try. coming up, we tour a gem in the windy city. be right back. [music playing] there's no place like home, especially when you have a pet. a pet is truly home's best friend,

and this year that sentiment was part of a mission for our partners coldwell banker. for over 100 years, they have helped people find homes, and through coldwell banker home for dogs project, they've already surpassed their goal securing homes for more than 20,000 pets. we caught up with the man who spearheaded this heartwarming initiative. [music playing] so last years campaign was home sweet home, which was the joy of coming home. this year, we wanted to celebrate what was waiting for us which is man's best friend, or home's best friend. sara gore: while filming their homes best friend commercial, coldwell banker was inspired to partner with adoptapet.com and start the home for dogs project. sean blankenship: we've always historically focused on obviously finding homes for people, right? and when we started thinking about it, well, why can't we find homes for dogs? sara gore: the campaign aimed at finding homes for 20,000 dogs sparked a movement and galvanized coldwell banker brokers to take action.

a home is really not a home until you have a pet or a dog, and our brokers just gravitated towards that. they really related to that. they all don't have dogs, but they understood the meaning of that. and they really got around it and started having their own events on the weekends. we had national adopt a pet weekend, and we had brokers that were adopting 20, 30 dogs. and it just built up this momentum, and it turned into this really fantastic campaign. the fact that coldwell banker is an advocate for pet adoption makes me very proud to work for them. sara gore: the initiative had an unexpected effect on sean's own family. shortly after the campaign started, sean thought, how can i go out and promote this if i'm not getting a dog as well? you brought chewy home. sara gore: one word sums up the special bond between them-- joy. he's joyful, he's great. sara gore: adopting a pet not only makes your home happier, but your heart fuller. and there's still plenty of opportunities

for you to get involved. we were extremely proud of hitting the 20,000 in september. and based on that, we're going to extend the campaign not just through this year, but through the first half of 2016. [music playing] congrats to the entire coldwell banker team, and adoptapet.com for reaching their goal. and if you want to get involved, just visit coldwellbanker.com to learn more. we're back with a contemporary chicago townhouse, coming up next. [music playing]

[music playing] hi, i'm jennifer ames with coldwell banker. welcome to chicago's historic old town neighborhood, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city's north side. i look forward to taking you through this amazing single family home. come on in, let's take a look. [music playing] this home offers the convenience of living in the heart of the city with the space and the amenities you'd find in the suburbs. one of the first things you'll notice upon entering this home is the remarkably open floor plan. the living room is spacious but cozy,

and the focal point is this beautiful fireplace. all this makes you feel like you're on vacation, even when you're in your own home. let's keep going. [music playing] this is a gourmet kitchen that would be fun to cook in. in here, you've got plenty of workspace and top of the line appliances. in addition, the italian quartzite that's on the counter tops runs up the back of the kitchen wall and was used to conceal the hood fan. in all my years of selling luxury homes, i've never seen anything like this. [music playing] this master suite is truly a sanctuary. this room has beautiful new wide plank hardwood floors, decorative art lighting, and huge west facing windows. i might get so comfortable that i don't want to go home. let's go take a look at the master bath, and their amazing walk-in closet. the spa like master bath has dual vanities

with marble counters, a freestanding soaking tub, and an amazing walk-in shower with all the toys. and who wouldn't want a closet like this? i love that light, it's like jewelry. and now let me show you something really cool. [music playing] welcome to the ultimate party floor. on the penthouse level, you've got a dining area, the ultimate wet bar, a lounge, and two decks with an amazing skyline view. and why go out when you can entertain in a place like this? and now let me show you this amazing rooftop deck. and these floor to ceiling windows offer a seamless transition between inside and out. [music playing] perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection, this deck is truly an oasis in the heart of a busy city. [music playing] thank you for coming on our tour today. i'm going to leave you with the panoramic view of our windy city. [music playing]

there were a ton of impressive features, but for me it's always about the kitchen, and i loved that kitchen. next, we are heading to an inviting home in new jersey. we'll see you after the break. [music playing]

you're watching open house. there's nothing like being home for the holidays. at home when i grew up, it was a season of traditions. now in my home, i'm continuing these traditions while creating new memories from my own family. i recently spent some time with our partners at coldwell banker, and no one knows the story of home better than they do. [music playing] hi. good to see you. so good to see you. oh my gosh, i'm so glad you're here. sara gore: oh, i'm so happy to be here. come on in. sara gore: oh, my goodness oh, isn't this wonderful? it's so great. you know that a family lived here, too. rick gregory: oh, my gosh. [music playing] sara gore: oh, my goodness.

rick gregory: this is fantastic. sara gore: i love this ceiling. yeah, because this time of year it's all about welcoming people into our homes. and for coldwell banker, that's something that happens basically every day, as buyers and sellers welcome coldwell agents into their homes to help make their dreams come true. oh, without a doubt. we are honored, day in day out, with our sales associates across the country to help our sellers and our buyers just make these dreams come true. i would love to spend every evening in this room with my family, gathering and talking about our day. there's nothing better than just sitting down with family and looking at the fireplace, and just enjoy everything that has to do with the holiday season. so there's no time like the holidays to kind of shine a spotlight on a home. and i know for me that i have so many family traditions that make this season extra special, and it always includes a lot of food, and a lot of family, and a lot of decorations. so what are some of yours? so for me and my family, it really is about everybody coming together for the holidays.

there's a lot of baking, there's a lot of cooking, there's a lot of celebration. so my favorite part of the home is always the kitchen-- yes. --the heart of the home, so let's go check that out. [music playing] sara gore: oh, my goodness. i love-- rick gregory: isn't this-- sara gore: --how open this is. rick gregory: phenomenal. how many times have we entertained folks, and when entertaining, you don't know where they're going, you're missing out on the conversations, you're missing out on the fun. and if you look, the fireplace is right here next to the seating area. you're just like, wait a minute. what's going on, what did i miss? so one of the biggest messages for coldwell banker this year was the story of home, so why was that so important? you know, for us, home is a higher calling. so many people in residential real estate really focus on just a house, the timber, the nails, all the different features of a home. for us, home is about the stories and the traditions within the home. so as part of that, we spent a lot of time

with our homeowners to understand the stories, understand why it was that this place became a home to them, so we can help translate that to others so they can create their own stories and make it their home. because more often times than not it's a feeling that you get when you enter a home. without a doubt. [music playing] oh, my god. i love this ceiling. oh, my goodness. rick gregory: isn't this phenomenal? sara gore: it's like we're william and kate. rick gregory: oh, exactly. i feel like you don't always get the opportunity to hear all the stories of a home from the owner. we couldn't agree more. the homeowners tells the best stories about their place, better than anybody else. so in fact, on coldwellbanker.com, we give all of our sellers the ability to post stories and post video stories about their home. so they can share with prospective buyers what it was like for them in this home. yeah, because it makes it personal, and buying a home

is very personal. yeah, without a doubt. sara gore: yeah. without a doubt. [music playing] well, rick, thank you so much for the tour today. i really feel the love and the happiness in this house, and i'm sure buyers are going to feel it, too. we're just so excited that you're able to come and spend time with us today. and from coldwell banker to everyone, have a wonderful and happy holiday. [music playing] that's all for now. i hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful homes. if you missed something on today's show, just head to openhousetv.com. you can also join our facebook family, and follow us on twitter, instagram, and pinterest at @openhousetv. we'll be back next week with more luxury homes and design tips. see you next time.

>> and we just loved being together. we were always together. >> reporter: and so the three foleys lived on the outskirts of coldwater in an old farmhouse they called "the heath bar farm." a picture-perfect family until that winter day back in 2009. what was the last thing you said to her? >> i said, "i love you, and i'll see you later." >> reporter: on that day, the foleys were preparing to celebrate heath's 10th birthday at a friend's house just down the road. we w d a y to dar still needed to shower, so tom, heath, and a friend of heath's left without her. the plan was for dar to follow in her own car and meet them at f h' the party later that afternoon. but dar never arrived.d. that gave you some sort of sixth sense that something was wrong? >> yes. she was always on time or early to events.s.sh >> reporter: so tom left the party and headed back home in search of his wife. >> our kitchen back door was y an opened, and i noticed that the

glass was broken, and there was glass all over our kitchen floor.en, anere so i looked through the rest of the house for her, and ended up finding her in our bathroom.r h, >> reporter: she had been shot in the head with a shotgun at point-blank range.in tom immediately called for help. >> what's the problem? >> my wife is in the shower. she's just laying there in the blood.st l >> reporter: first responders rushed to the foley farm. when michigan state police detective james karbon arrived on the scene, he knew he was in for a long night.mes kaas in >> we don't have a lot of homicides that happen in and around branch county, and because of her position as a tyn schoolteacher, just for the number of people that knew her,c that put it in a much more serious type investigation. >> reporter: detective karbon and his team of state troopers > scoured the crime scene taking pictures and seizing evidence of what appeared to be a home burglary gone wrong.ctur the first clue? the broken glass coming from the

kitchen door window. >> it appeared that a beer bottle was used to break that particular window.w.>>t ap >> reporter: according to tom, jewelry and credit cards were missing.lry an the family desk had also been disturbed and financial documents inside were gone.urbe and then there was the medicine cabinet.and >> it looked like somebody had gone in and basically scooped a shelf off of the medicine ikped cabinet and its contents. >> reporter: like maybe they cot were looking for prescription drugs? >> potentially.ooki >> reporter: but to detective karbon, the items missing weren't nearly as telling as what was left behind.. expensive electronics were untouched as was dar's purse found sitting on a hallway chair.fo >> it just didn't make a lot of sense. >> reporter: neither did the ust of a shotgun. >> it's large, potentially bulky.rge, p if you're going to break into something, you have to carry whatever you steal out with this shotgun that you brought also. >> reporter: it wasn't until the next day that police found their first significant piece of >>ceu

evidence, evidence that led the investigation in a whole new direction. down in the foleys' dusty basement was a suspiciously "dust-free" yellow plastic bag. what was in the bag? >> three shotgun shells.s.wh >> when we come back -- police have some questions for the grieving husband.. >> we found a dunham's bag. >> okay. >> that had some shotgun shells in it.>> >> okay. >> you ever seen that before? >> no. >> and so does his wife's family. >> there were a number of people who were offended by his re w demeanor. phil! oh no...

>> the funeral for dar foley was held on the 13th, friday the 13th. those unlucky enough to be sharing their grief over the woman they'd loved and lost poured into union city high school auditorium. no church, it turned out, was big enough to accommodate the more than 500 people who came to honor and remember dar. >> she was so full of life. and she had a lot more to give. and we can't bring her back. >> your wife's been killed, and you've got a 10-year-old son. what did you tell him?

>> i told him that someone had hurt mommy, and he goes, "is she in heaven?" and i said, "yes." >> reporter: it seemed that no one in coldwater could comprehend what had happened including steve and joanie pierce, close friends of both tom and dar, who learned of the murder from tom himself. >> i said, "the three of you were always together." and he was crying, and he said, "i know, i know. i should've been there for her." and then i said, "if you would've been, the three of you would be dead now instead of just dar." >> reporter: but just 24 hours into the investigation, detective jim karbon had almost abandoned the theory that this was a random act of violence. >> it appeared to me that this was a staged breaking and entering to try to hide a homicide that took place. >> reporter: but according to detective karbon, whoever staged the burglary didn't factor in the weather that day.

>> it got really warm. we had a huge snowmelt off. >> reporter: the ground around the farmhouse was unusually wet and muddy. so you'd expect that there would be muddy footprints from inside the residence from somebody who had come through that door? >> absolutely. >> and was there anything or any footprints? >> there was nothing. >> reporter: but it was the yellow bag found in the basement, the bag containing shotgun shells, that interested karbon the most. >> downstairs in the basement. >> okay. >> we found a dunham's bag. >> okay. >> that had some shotgun shells in it. >> okay. >> have you ever seen that before? >> no. >> reporter: now, the foleys didn't own a shotgun, as far as we know? >> that's correct. >> reporter: karbon sent the bag to the lab for analysis, and what technicians found on the bag surprised even this veteran detective. tom's fingerprint was on the bag? >> yes. >> reporter: suddenly detective karbon felt he needed to learn and take a closer look at tom

foley and his seemingly picture-perfect marriage. >> i think they did a lot of things together, however, i don't consider them the picture-perfect couple. >> reporter: neither did dar's sister lynn, in whom dar once confided. >> she said, "tom doesn't love me anymore. he's leaving me." "he's going through his change of life." you know -- >> his midlife crisis? >> yes. >> reporter: dar's sisters were becoming increasingly suspicious, especially, they said, after watching tom's behavior at dar's funeral. >> it was almost like he was relieved. >> there were a number of people that came up to me after the service that were really offended by his demeanor, his joyfulness. >> these are things that i've heard, and it's ridiculous. i mean, taking care of heath was on my mind, wondering who killed my wife was on my mind. they don't know the things that

i've been through. >> reporter: maybe so, but detective karbon was keeping a very watchful eye on tom foley. he decided to interview the other foley who was at the farm the day dar was killed, tom and dar's son, heath. >> heath, like i told you, i'm detective sergeant karbon. >> reporter: he said that heath and his friend skylar wattie were inside the house playing video games, waiting to be driven to heath's birthday celebration. >> did you see anything different or out of the ordinary, or anybody walking around, anybody come up to the door, anything you can think of? >> not really. >> okay. >> reporter: the detective also interviewed skylar wattie, who said right before leaving for the party, tom sent the two boys outside to go start up the truck. >> he said that he'll be out there in a little bit. >> okay. >> so, i don't know what he was doing in there, taking a shower or what. >> reporter: like heath, skylar

couldn't recall anything unusual about that day either, and then suddenly -- >> yeah, when we were outside running across the barns, there was like a big crash like way in the back of the house. >> like what did it sound like? >> like breaking glass and a bunch of things falling like maybe a vase just -- >> it was a loud sound? >> yeah. >> reporter: detective karbon showed skylar a drawing of the foley farm and asked skylar to place an "x" where he believed the sound originated. >> like somewhere around in here. >> okay. >> reporter: skylar placed the "x" just outside the first floor bathroom, the same room where dar foley had been shot. >> it appeared to us that skylar wattie may have heard the shotgun blast that killed dar foley. >> reporter: detective karbon was also thinking this, the one other person in that house at

that time was tom foley. coming up -- >> he wanted the house, he wanted her money. and if he divorced her, he lost everything. >> was that a motive? and was tom fo

>> from the mouths of babes or in this case, one articulate 10-year-old boy, came what seemed like a case-breaking revelation. >> it was like loud, loud. >> reporter: detective karbon believed 10-year-old skylar wattie was an ear witness to the shotgun blast that killed dar foley. if true, it meant dar was murdered earlier than originally thought. more significantly, it meant tom foley was still in the house when the murder occurred. >> that lead was huge.

it was very, very important. >> reporter: but if tom foley was in that house and lled the trigger, the question remained, why? the answer, said karbon, is quite simple. murder for money? >> potentially yes. >> reporter: money in the form of an insurance policy. >> i think that he wanted out of the marriage and did whatever he needed to do to make sure that happened. >> and if he got $310,000 in insurance money and got out of the marriage, so much the better? >> yes. >> reporter: the evidence against tom foley was circumstantial but compelling. you think he faked that burglary? >> yes. >> and killed his wife? >> yes. >> reporter: they never found the murder weapon. >> what do you think happened to the gun? >> i wish i knew. >> reporter: but even without it, in march of 2009, one month after dar foley was gunned down in her shower, state police arrested tom foley and charged him with his wife's murder.

>> and i just, "what, how, why?" and i was like, "this cannot be happening. why do you think i did this?" i did not kill my wife. >> reporter: to tom and dar's close friends, the pierces, news of tom's arrest was almost as stunning as the news of dar's death. >> could you conceive of tom either hating his wife so much that he wanted to kill her? >> absolutely not. >> never. >> or killing her for the insurance money? >> absolutely not. >> that would be stupid. she made good money. why kill the golden goose? >> you think they had a good marriage? >> yeah, i do. everything seemed to be going real good for them. >> reporter: it seemed sadistic, shooting your wife at point-blank range, killing the mother of your son on the very day he was celebrating his tenth birthday. >> he never would have done that to his son. >> reporter: police continued gathering evidence. ten days after tom's arrest, police brought heath foley in for a second interview, and this time heath did recall hearing a

noise that day. >> when skylar talks about hearing this unusual sound, do you remember any of that. >> it was like maybe a gunshot maybe or maybe some like glass broke, i don't know. it was one of those two things maybe. >> reporter: according to tom, the sound heath heard was nothing more than glass breaking. >> they were old barn windows that i was trying to clean up. and i went to grab them and one of them slipped out of my grip, and it smashed on our back porch steps. >> and it made a loud noise? >> yeah, it did. yup. >> reporter: but detective karbon wasn't buying tom's explanation. the boys were playing over by this barn? >> yes. >> and how far is that to the house? >> it's approximately 75 yards. >> mr. foley claims he was dropping a window. would that sound have penetrated that far?

>> in my opinion that couldn't have happened. >> reporter: police also say they carefully searched that area around the back porch. >> there was no glass that we could see when we looked at the scene on that particular night, as well as the next day. >> reporter: for dar's sisters, the writing was by now on the wall. they were certain of their brother-in-law's guilt. >> we went over every case we could come up with to not make it tom. >> i think tom resented dar in that he couldn't be a man. i think it kind of ate at him and he couldn't take it anymore. >> people get divorced for that reason. >> he didn't divorce her because he's a selfish coward. he wanted heath, he wanted the house, he wanted her money, and if he divorced her, he lost everything. >> reporter: in november 2009, tom foley's trial began. the prosecution argued that only tom had a motive to kill dar. but the defense claimed police

had rushed to judgment. defense attorney tom schaeffer and defense investigator ken koberstein. >> in their mind it's always the boyfriend or the husband. >> or the person who finds the body. >> which in this case? > was the husband and tom. >> they wanted me bad. because they -- what's easier for them to go after someone that they can actually physically see or someone they cannot actually physical si see. >> what's wrong with the idea that money was the motive? >> absolutely not. i mean, we had a mortgage. to move on after all this was gonna take a hell of a lot more than that. >> reporter: after two weeks of testimony, the jury had its verdict. >> i felt the evidence was going to prove that there's absolutely no way i had anything to do with this. >> reporter: 12 jurors didn't share that feeling. >> we the jury find the defendant guilty of first degree murder. >> i was just, "what." i was just shocked.

>> what was wrong with the jury? what do they know that i don't know? how could they convict a man on what they had? >> i knew what a conviction was meant for me. life without the possibility of parole. >> my sister is still dead. it still didn't bring her back. but you had a little bit of faith in the justice system. >> reporter: in the hours following the verdict, it seemed everyone in coldwater was relying on faith. >> i said to myself, "god isn't gonna let me go to prison for the rest of my life." something had to turn around. >> reporter: then less than 24 hours after the verdict, tom foley's defense team got a phone call from a woman -- >> this is a woman who essentially says, "i saw the murderer, and it wasn't tom foley." coming up -- >> there's the killer, right there! she saw him! >> a bombshell from out of the blue: was there hope for a newly convicted husband? plays throughout

jumper, 18. he hits it with five seconds -- >> 24 years after the one-time hometown hero named tom foley made coldwater history, the now convicted murderer of the same name sat behind bars awaiting his sentence. you ready to spend the rest of your life in prison? >> no, absolutely not. >> reporter: to tom foley's attorney, tom schaeffer, and his private eye, ken koberstein, the guilty verdict landed like a crushing blow. >> this was a grassroot whodunit, and we thought we had shown that it wasn't this person who had done it. >> i was devastated. when this ended, i could have walked into a wall. >> reporter: but just one day after tom foley's conviction, a

woman stepped forward. she had new information that suddenly gave new life to tom's defense. >> she came forward and said, "i saw this white car storming out of the driveway, almost hit me." "it looked like somebody was either high or running away from something." >> reporter: the woman was certain the driver was coming out of the heath bar farm right around the time dar was murdered, and she was equally certain the driver looked nothing like tom foley. >> there's the killer right there. she saw him, the person leaving our property. >> reporter: and then like a dam breaking, two other witnesses came forward, each having seen a mysterious car of their own, either parked on the foley property or speeding away from it. all the sightings were within two hours of dar's murder. >> i mean, it was just like one after another, and i'm saying, "what is going on? where were these people before?"

>> reporter: the judge who was about to sentence tom foley to life wanted to hear what these new witnesses had to say. and after a year of appeals that went all the way to the state supreme court, tom foley was granted something most people convicted of murder never receive, a second chance. >> i was walking through the chow hall in prison, and somebody says, "hey, tom, i saw you on the news." i said, "really, what for?" "well, they gave you a new trial." >> i said, "what?" >> reporter: but news of a new trial didn't change the minds of dar's family. they remained convinced, not only did tom kill dar, he did so on the day of his son's tenth birthday celebration. >> you think tom's cold blooded enough to do something like that to his kid? >> yes. >> i think there's evil in him. >> reporter: prosecutor terri norris agreed. >> who killed dar foley? >> tom foley. there is nobody else.

>> reporter: a year and a half after tom foley's conviction both sides filed back into the courthouse to once again determine tom's fate. >> circuit court is again in session. >> thank you. this sunday, donald trump is still leaping ahead and nothing he says seems to slow him down. >> i know where she went. it's disgusting. i don't want to talk about it. >> will 2016 will the year the plitolitical establishment gets toppled? i'll be joined by bernie sanders, another outsider who upset the old political order. also, the commander-in-chief test. with america facing challenges on a scale not seen since 9/11, which candidate is best qualified to keep us safe at home and abroad. and film director spike lee on america's gun culture. >> why are we okay with that 88 americans die everyday from gun violence? why are o
