1
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:17,349
This is the story
of an American family...
2
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:19,651
I spent ten years living a
lie.
3
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:22,254
Doing its best
to hide its secrets.
4
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:23,422
Say, "hi, mama."
5
00:00:23,424 --> 00:00:26,492
She told me that Max
was an abuser,
6
00:00:26,494 --> 00:00:30,796
that he would physically
and mentally abuse her.
7
00:00:30,798 --> 00:00:33,966
Behind a facade
of weddings, baby showers,
8
00:00:33,968 --> 00:00:35,701
and birthday parties...
9
00:00:35,703 --> 00:00:37,770
Happy birthday to you
I was -- I was screaming.
10
00:00:37,772 --> 00:00:39,438
Max?
And my mom was screaming.
11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,440
Max.
He's not breathing.
12
00:00:41,442 --> 00:00:45,944
Lurks a monster,
caught on video.
13
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:49,181
I couldn't believe
what was happening.
14
00:00:49,183 --> 00:00:52,217
Video that's never
been seen in public...
15
00:00:55,523 --> 00:00:57,289
Until now.
16
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:19,044
17
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:31,123
It's the fall of
1991
18
00:01:31,125 --> 00:01:33,058
in north port, Florida.
19
00:02:19,707 --> 00:02:23,575
It's hardly a full house
at the suncoast worship
center,
20
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:25,577
but it is a happy day
21
00:02:25,579 --> 00:02:28,213
for Max Jones
and his bride, janeene.
22
00:02:28,215 --> 00:02:30,682
When my mom
23
00:02:30,684 --> 00:02:34,219
and dad were married,
she was very happy,
24
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:37,256
and she looked --
she looked beautiful.
25
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:47,132
The camera was always
on for special occasions.
26
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,712
They met,
27
00:03:00,714 --> 00:03:04,550
and over the course
of a year, they fell in love.
28
00:03:31,245 --> 00:03:36,248
Max is a carpenter,
janeene a corrections officer.
29
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:28,033
It's a typical middle-class
American wedding
30
00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:29,768
from the early '90s,
31
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:33,605
right down to the clothes.
32
00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:36,875
My -- my father, I think
he loved to dress to impress,
33
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:41,046
but seeing him in a white
tuxedo
is kind of odd.
34
00:04:54,228 --> 00:04:56,895
The newlyweds
look over the moon,
35
00:04:56,897 --> 00:05:00,299
and all is well... for now.
36
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:11,877
Eight months later,
it's the summer of 1992.
37
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:14,046
Heavily pregnant herself,
janeene
38
00:05:14,048 --> 00:05:16,782
arrives at a friend's
baby shower...
39
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:21,553
Or so she thinks.
40
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,890
Mom had
a surprise baby shower.
41
00:05:34,368 --> 00:05:36,335
Mom showed up
at her own baby shower
42
00:05:36,337 --> 00:05:39,871
with a gift thinking
it was for somebody else.
43
00:05:56,457 --> 00:06:00,659
She's so happy
to have that surprise.
44
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:01,993
And knowing that,
45
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:04,996
she welcomes people
with open arms.
46
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:10,068
Janeene is pregnant
with the couple's son, zak.
47
00:06:24,318 --> 00:06:27,386
I know she loved
being the center of attention.
48
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,554
She would probably
get anybody's attention
49
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:31,490
just by being there.
50
00:06:50,511 --> 00:06:53,445
And in the
background,
always present,
51
00:06:53,447 --> 00:06:55,781
even at a ladies' baby shower,
52
00:06:55,783 --> 00:06:59,418
husband Max.
53
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:03,321
He and janeene are
facing parenthood together,
54
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:04,289
every step of the way.
55
00:07:04,291 --> 00:07:06,491
You guys are terrible!
56
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:10,662
Five weeks later...
57
00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:48,099
My mom loved babies.
58
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:52,103
If she could have more
children,
she probably would've.
59
00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:55,540
She was very motherly
with all of US.
60
00:07:58,512 --> 00:08:01,947
My happiest memories
is with my father's...
61
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:03,582
Every time he'd have, like,
a side job,
62
00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:05,283
I was able to go with him,
63
00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:09,488
and it was always pretty cool
to see my dad in action.
64
00:08:38,452 --> 00:08:40,652
I always
looked up to my father
65
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:43,188
and he was such a good man.
66
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:46,758
I would always go with my dad
just so I can be with him.
67
00:08:49,029 --> 00:08:51,463
Max still works with
his hands at carpentry.
68
00:08:51,465 --> 00:08:52,597
Hey.
Hey.
69
00:08:52,599 --> 00:08:54,232
Hey, mom.
Hi.
70
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:55,667
Hey. Bye.
71
00:08:55,669 --> 00:08:59,237
Janeene has her steady job
as a corrections officer.
72
00:08:59,239 --> 00:09:01,673
Make sure you eat something
other than cereal today.
73
00:09:01,675 --> 00:09:02,908
Bye.
74
00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:05,010
To friends and family alike,
75
00:09:05,012 --> 00:09:07,145
no red flags,
76
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:10,515
no sign of impending disaster.
77
00:09:10,517 --> 00:09:14,386
Just an ordinary couple
starting a family.
78
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:51,256
Okay. Let's go.
79
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:54,359
Two years later,
in 1994,
80
00:09:54,361 --> 00:09:57,562
baby Alex arrives,
a sister for zak.
81
00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:01,566
The Jones family is complete.
82
00:10:01,568 --> 00:10:04,970
Money is not plentiful,
but they are getting by.
83
00:10:10,544 --> 00:10:13,211
Growing up, you know,
you see, you know,
84
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:15,880
a lot of families
going out to dinner
85
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:18,450
or having nice clothes
86
00:10:18,452 --> 00:10:20,652
or having nice vehicles.
87
00:10:20,654 --> 00:10:24,422
With money being tight,
you know, we'd probably go
out,
88
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:27,993
you know, twice a month.
89
00:10:27,995 --> 00:10:32,697
But we still had enough money
to get through the day.
90
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:36,001
We lived in a two-bedroom
house.
91
00:10:36,003 --> 00:10:38,503
So me and my brother
shared a room.
92
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:42,173
I'm sure mom wanted
a bigger house.
93
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:45,043
But she was quite content
with what we had.
94
00:10:52,886 --> 00:10:54,986
I loved where I grew up.
95
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,821
I had a lot of friends.
96
00:11:01,662 --> 00:11:06,831
A lot of neighbors that we
knew
that we grew up with.
97
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:09,067
They loved my parents.
98
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:18,977
No one outside this
family has seen these videos
99
00:11:18,979 --> 00:11:20,679
since they were filmed,
100
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:24,349
nor would anyone
find them notable
101
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:27,719
until a few years later.
102
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:48,573
Max and janeene Jones
103
00:11:48,575 --> 00:11:52,711
and their kids appear to be
an ordinary American family.
104
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:54,846
But after five years,
105
00:11:54,848 --> 00:11:58,149
the marriage is under strain.
106
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:00,418
My dad, was a carpenter.
107
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:04,489
I think he liked working
with his hands mostly for,
108
00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:05,957
working with the wood
109
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:09,461
and making sure
every little detail was
perfect.
110
00:12:11,698 --> 00:12:14,866
My mom
worked in the jail.
111
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:17,736
She grew up
in a military family.
112
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:29,314
So she was kind of
forced to be strong.
113
00:12:29,316 --> 00:12:34,185
She liked to be,
like, authority figure.
114
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:37,689
Money is tight,
which adds to the stress.
115
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:50,869
Dad seemed to, um, kind
of
stress about money a lot
116
00:12:50,871 --> 00:12:54,906
and he would always be working
just to make ends meets.
117
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:58,576
Max's temper
grows worse and worse.
118
00:12:58,578 --> 00:13:01,312
He's finding it harder
to make ends meet.
119
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:03,648
It drives him to the edge.
120
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:08,052
They started not really
having conversations.
121
00:13:08,054 --> 00:13:10,355
They were arguing a lot.
122
00:13:10,357 --> 00:13:13,158
And they just were distant
from each other.
123
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:17,662
My dad raised his voice a lot.
124
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:20,098
That's how he would
show his temper.
125
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:25,370
Janeene and Max
struggled to maintain the
image
126
00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:28,173
of a happy couple
on the outside.
127
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:38,283
Max and janeene
are popular amongst friends
128
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:41,886
and very much a part
of the local church.
129
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:45,857
That's where they meet
plumber John Chamberlain.
130
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:48,526
I met them at a church.
131
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:50,028
Max was a free spirit.
132
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:51,896
He was, I mean,
133
00:13:51,898 --> 00:13:53,464
he had a very good sense
of humor.
134
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:54,666
And he joked around.
135
00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:56,301
He was a musician.
136
00:13:56,303 --> 00:14:01,039
I'm going to shout
a little louder than before
137
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:05,176
let me sing now,
we love
138
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,778
he was -- he was just a fun
guy.
139
00:14:12,285 --> 00:14:13,818
I liked janeene.
140
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:18,089
I'd say her and Max were not
your typical church people.
141
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:20,091
For ten years,
the joneses
142
00:14:20,093 --> 00:14:21,993
are tight friends
with John Chamberlain.
143
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:23,628
You ready?
He and his
144
00:14:23,630 --> 00:14:26,197
11-year-old daughter
are frequent visitors.
145
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:30,301
John Chamberlain
is a long-time family friend
146
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:32,871
that we kind of grew up with,
147
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:35,607
spending time
with him at church
148
00:14:35,609 --> 00:14:37,041
and his daughter.
149
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:39,744
They with really
the closest thing
150
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:42,914
that I had to family
down here in Florida.
151
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:48,052
John and Max
have a lot in common,
152
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:51,556
and they spend
more time together.
153
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:55,793
Max had a -- a
nice
setup in the backyard.
154
00:14:55,795 --> 00:14:58,796
We'd be out there till 1:00,
2:00 in the morning.
155
00:14:58,798 --> 00:15:00,431
And Max being a carpenter,
156
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:02,867
we had endless supply
of wood to burn.
157
00:15:08,041 --> 00:15:11,342
I'm going to
get my head down.
158
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:15,079
On the outside,
all looks well,
159
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,916
but Max's temper
fuels a downward spiral
160
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:20,084
in the 20-year-old marriage.
161
00:15:24,557 --> 00:15:26,391
19-year-old zak
162
00:15:26,393 --> 00:15:29,260
is old enough to pick up
on the tension.
163
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:34,165
My mom and dad, they were
trying to keep everything,
164
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:36,334
all their marriage problems,
165
00:15:36,336 --> 00:15:39,337
a secret and keep 'em away
from,
166
00:15:39,339 --> 00:15:41,239
their kids.
167
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:43,207
Max and janeene's
relationship
168
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:46,711
just leave it!
Is out of control.
169
00:15:46,713 --> 00:15:51,549
And Max is beginning
to lose his temper.
170
00:15:51,551 --> 00:15:53,651
The marriage that began
with such promises
171
00:15:53,653 --> 00:15:57,588
of love and fidelity
is already in trouble
172
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:01,192
when janeene does something
that shatters it.
173
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:02,860
She lost her job
174
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:06,698
after she had an affair
with one of the inmates.
175
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:14,272
Janeene's betrayal
sends their relationship
176
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:16,107
into meltdown.
177
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,813
My mom seemed
very vulnerable.
178
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:25,216
She was, I guess going
to any kind of men
179
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:29,420
that could... showed her
some kind of affection.
180
00:16:29,422 --> 00:16:33,091
The affair pushes
Max over the edge.
181
00:16:38,064 --> 00:16:42,700
It's Thanksgiving, 2011,
in north port, Florida.
182
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:47,805
Outside, the community's
parade
kicks off the holiday season,
183
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:50,241
but inside the Jones
household,
184
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:53,244
it's a season of tension.
185
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:55,246
Thanksgiving was --
186
00:16:55,248 --> 00:16:57,882
wasn't really all that great.
187
00:16:57,884 --> 00:17:01,319
My mom and dad,
they didn't really talk.
188
00:17:01,321 --> 00:17:04,355
It didn't really seem
like they loved each other
189
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:07,558
that much.
190
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,660
Having to spend
the Thanksgiving holiday
191
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,529
with his cheating wife
192
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:15,333
is just too much
for Max to handle.
193
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:17,568
He hated her,
so to speak,
194
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:21,572
had some kind of resentment
toward her for all that.
195
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:24,175
Bob Glasgow
is a family friend.
196
00:17:24,177 --> 00:17:28,312
Later, janeene
would tell him her side.
197
00:17:28,314 --> 00:17:30,214
After I
got to know janeene,
198
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:33,084
she told me
that Max was an abuser,
199
00:17:33,086 --> 00:17:34,352
that --
200
00:17:34,354 --> 00:17:37,188
that he would physically
and mentally abuse her.
201
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,695
You betrayed me.
Just leave it!
202
00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:46,697
Janeene
and Max argued a lot.
203
00:17:46,699 --> 00:17:48,866
And the conversations
204
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:52,503
between them would escalate
the verbal yelling
205
00:17:52,505 --> 00:17:54,205
back and forth.
206
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:57,008
If I ever talked
to my wife like that,
207
00:17:57,010 --> 00:17:59,944
I would have probably been
pulling a frying pan
208
00:17:59,946 --> 00:18:02,146
out of my face.
209
00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:05,049
No one
in this tense household
210
00:18:05,051 --> 00:18:06,451
is prepared
211
00:18:06,453 --> 00:18:11,456
for what would happen
on November 27th, 2011.
212
00:18:16,696 --> 00:18:17,962
I was on the computer.
213
00:18:17,964 --> 00:18:19,730
My mom came in.
214
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:24,135
That sounds like your father.
215
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,140
Max? Max?
216
00:18:29,142 --> 00:18:30,141
He was very clammy.
217
00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:32,043
Max.
He's not breathing.
218
00:18:32,045 --> 00:18:36,280
I noticed that his color
was not normal.
219
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:38,716
Ambulance, please.
Like, he looked very pale.
220
00:18:38,718 --> 00:18:41,285
My husband's
not breathing.
221
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:42,920
So the operator
was like, "okay.
222
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:45,289
You need to get him
on the floor
223
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,425
and you you need to start
cpr."
224
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:48,626
Okay.
225
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,561
You're doing great.
The paramedics arrived
226
00:18:50,563 --> 00:18:52,830
and they took over.
227
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:54,565
His name is Max.
228
00:18:59,172 --> 00:19:00,304
One of the paramedics
had come out
229
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,206
and said, "I'm sorry.
230
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:04,542
There was nothing we could
do."
231
00:19:04,544 --> 00:19:07,745
He had a heart attack.
232
00:19:07,747 --> 00:19:10,181
And I lost it.
233
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:28,566
Janeene Jones'
husband, Max,
234
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:31,969
has died of a heart attack
just before Christmas.
235
00:19:31,971 --> 00:19:34,739
And janeene
and her two children, zak,
236
00:19:34,741 --> 00:19:36,974
now age 19, and Alex,
237
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:40,311
age 17,
must pick up the pieces
238
00:19:40,313 --> 00:19:43,147
and carry on.
239
00:19:43,149 --> 00:19:47,118
Three months
after my dad passed, my mom,
240
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,488
she was trying
to fill a void
241
00:19:50,490 --> 00:19:53,524
that he had left.
242
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:55,459
Money is
tighter than ever
243
00:19:55,461 --> 00:19:58,129
and janeene has lost her job.
244
00:19:58,131 --> 00:20:02,033
The time is right for her
to start her own venture.
245
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:05,436
My mom, she started a
new,
real estate business.
246
00:20:05,438 --> 00:20:07,405
She bought foreclosed houses,
247
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:10,441
would fix 'em up,
and then would rent 'em out.
248
00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:13,644
I was pretty proud of her
for starting her own business
249
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:15,313
and going out on her own
250
00:20:15,315 --> 00:20:19,517
and doing what she wanted to
do.
251
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,252
Amazingly,
by early summer,
252
00:20:21,254 --> 00:20:24,222
janeene's a successful
businesswoman,
253
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:27,925
buying and renting out
foreclosed homes.
254
00:20:27,927 --> 00:20:31,996
Being a realtor
is something she's good at.
255
00:20:31,998 --> 00:20:35,399
Janeene has found her
vocation.
256
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:38,803
Hi, I'm janeene Jones,
and welcome to my company,
257
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:41,906
my retirement, llc.
258
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:44,909
I have lots of beautiful
and affordable homes
259
00:20:44,911 --> 00:20:45,910
on my website.
260
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:48,012
I'd love to show you around.
261
00:20:53,019 --> 00:20:55,353
Within six months
of Max's death,
262
00:20:55,355 --> 00:20:59,290
janeene is finally in a decent
financial position.
263
00:20:59,292 --> 00:21:02,126
With her business proving
more profitable every day,
264
00:21:02,128 --> 00:21:05,263
she moves her family
into a new home.
265
00:21:05,265 --> 00:21:06,831
So it's moving day.
266
00:21:06,833 --> 00:21:08,199
Coming through the hallway
267
00:21:08,201 --> 00:21:11,636
and into our beautiful
family lounge area.
268
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:14,005
Hello, Alex.
Great, she's getting that.
269
00:21:14,007 --> 00:21:16,407
And look
at that gorgeous television.
270
00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:18,242
We moved out of the
house
271
00:21:18,244 --> 00:21:20,978
to get away from the
discomfort
272
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:24,882
and the bad memories
that were living there.
273
00:21:24,884 --> 00:21:26,150
That's so nice.
Thank you.
274
00:21:26,152 --> 00:21:27,551
And having money
275
00:21:27,553 --> 00:21:30,221
isn't the only big change
in janeene's life.
276
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:32,490
She also has a new
love interest --
277
00:21:32,492 --> 00:21:36,060
cable TV installer Matt Smith.
278
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:40,231
At 26, Matt is barely
half her age.
279
00:21:40,233 --> 00:21:41,632
Some of janeene's friends
280
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:44,568
think Matt looks suspiciously
like a freeloader.
281
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:46,070
Hey, dude.
But janeene
282
00:21:46,072 --> 00:21:50,708
sees him as simply the reward
for her newfound success.
283
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:53,444
Janeene looked at him
as a boy toy in the beginning.
284
00:21:53,446 --> 00:21:55,513
I know that's what it was.
285
00:21:55,515 --> 00:21:56,847
How could you fall in love
with somebody
286
00:21:56,849 --> 00:22:00,251
who's 26 years old
and you're 49?
287
00:22:00,253 --> 00:22:03,988
But for janeene,
liberated suddenly from Max,
288
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:06,190
life is good.
289
00:22:06,192 --> 00:22:09,660
In July of 2012,
she invites friend Bob Glasgow
290
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:11,762
and his wife
over to the new place.
291
00:22:11,764 --> 00:22:13,030
Hi.
292
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:15,032
They invite US
over for a few drinks
293
00:22:15,034 --> 00:22:16,300
to get to know the family.
294
00:22:16,302 --> 00:22:18,436
Hi.
It is then,
295
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:20,471
in front of her friends
and children,
296
00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:23,974
that janeene
will drop a bombshell.
297
00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:25,276
He's like, "you know,
298
00:22:25,278 --> 00:22:27,378
there's something
we're going to tell Alex.
299
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:28,913
She doesn't know yet,
300
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:31,115
and, you know,
we don't want to shock her.
301
00:22:31,117 --> 00:22:34,352
We're glad you're here."
302
00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:36,487
Hey, everybody.
We're very excited.
303
00:22:36,489 --> 00:22:38,789
Matt and I have some news.
304
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:41,525
They just came right
out there and said,
305
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:44,995
"we got married in Vegas."
306
00:22:44,997 --> 00:22:46,630
My wife and I,
307
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:51,936
we glanced at each other,
stared
and said, "what is going on?"
308
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:56,240
Janeene's children,
Alex and zak, are
flabbergasted.
309
00:22:56,242 --> 00:23:00,044
Their dad, Max, has only
been dead for six months.
310
00:23:02,248 --> 00:23:03,647
I didn't really like him.
311
00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:04,949
I never really...
312
00:23:04,951 --> 00:23:06,617
I never liked him.
I --
313
00:23:06,619 --> 00:23:11,756
I don't know why she decided
to have this guy so soon
314
00:23:11,758 --> 00:23:13,924
after my dad's passing
in her life.
315
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:16,927
It was very
heartbreaking.
316
00:23:16,929 --> 00:23:19,930
I felt angry
at her for doing that.
317
00:23:29,675 --> 00:23:32,376
Still grieving,
awash in happy memories
318
00:23:32,378 --> 00:23:34,211
of their dead dad,
zak
319
00:23:34,213 --> 00:23:37,481
and Alex cannot accept
the strange new world
320
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:40,451
their mother
has created with Matt.
321
00:23:40,453 --> 00:23:42,219
It was very odd.
322
00:23:42,221 --> 00:23:46,957
And I tried to distance myself
from my mom and Matt.
323
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:49,393
It was uncomfortable to be
home.
324
00:23:49,395 --> 00:23:54,331
And I was... I thought it was not right.
325
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:57,301
He was trying to be
a father to me,
326
00:23:57,303 --> 00:23:59,970
even though I'm basically
the same age as him.
327
00:23:59,972 --> 00:24:02,139
I was, like,
"I don't really like it."
328
00:24:02,141 --> 00:24:03,541
I don't want him
to be my father.
329
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:04,909
I don't need a father.
330
00:24:04,911 --> 00:24:06,677
Hey, dude.
I have one.
331
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:09,146
Matt has gone
from cable guy
332
00:24:09,148 --> 00:24:12,183
to husband
to business partner.
333
00:24:12,185 --> 00:24:14,985
He and janeene
run the business together,
334
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:18,756
buying and renting out houses
faster than ever.
335
00:24:18,758 --> 00:24:21,959
Soon they have more work
than they can handle.
336
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:24,462
They turn to janeene's
long-time friend,
337
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,130
John Chamberlain.
338
00:24:26,132 --> 00:24:29,300
Janeene knew
that I was a plumber.
339
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:32,102
And so she asked me
if I would be interested
340
00:24:32,104 --> 00:24:37,541
in doing the work
on these -- these homes.
341
00:24:37,543 --> 00:24:40,711
She told me
that she would actually rent
me
342
00:24:40,713 --> 00:24:41,879
one of these houses.
343
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:43,948
In exchange for rent money,
344
00:24:43,950 --> 00:24:47,017
I would perform
plumbing services for her
345
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:49,053
on these rental properties.
346
00:24:51,057 --> 00:24:52,857
But the more John
347
00:24:52,859 --> 00:24:57,061
works inside janeene's rapidly
expanding real estate empire,
348
00:24:57,063 --> 00:25:00,030
the less sense it all makes.
349
00:25:00,032 --> 00:25:04,068
Until one day, a bombshell.
350
00:25:06,072 --> 00:25:08,105
There was
the one tenant.
351
00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:09,640
She called me up one day
352
00:25:09,642 --> 00:25:12,576
and she said, "you're not
going to believe this."
353
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:14,478
Okay, 'Kay, 'Kay.
She answered the door
354
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,547
and that the people
on the other side of the door
355
00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:18,549
wanted to know
who she was
356
00:25:18,551 --> 00:25:22,319
and what she was doing
in their house.
357
00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:23,621
Okay, 'Kay, 'Kay.
Just,
358
00:25:23,623 --> 00:25:26,490
hang on for an hour
or so. Yeah.
359
00:25:26,492 --> 00:25:28,492
Let me see what I can
find out from jan.
360
00:25:28,494 --> 00:25:30,594
Okay.
361
00:25:30,596 --> 00:25:34,398
John has worked out
that janeene, with Matt,
362
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,801
is simply breaking
into unoccupied houses
363
00:25:37,803 --> 00:25:40,004
she doesn't own
364
00:25:40,006 --> 00:25:43,841
and renting them out
as if she did.
365
00:25:43,843 --> 00:25:47,011
The entire business is a
fraud,
366
00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:50,180
with John
the unsuspecting accomplice.
367
00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:51,749
What have you
gotten me into?
368
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:53,951
Just calm yourself down,
John.
369
00:25:53,953 --> 00:25:57,655
Everything's fine.
370
00:25:57,657 --> 00:25:59,990
Something strange
is going on here.
371
00:25:59,992 --> 00:26:03,761
And I said, "it's something
that I don't want to
372
00:26:03,763 --> 00:26:06,830
have my name on
or be any part of."
373
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:10,634
With that,
John quits,
374
00:26:10,636 --> 00:26:13,037
his next stop,
north port police department.
375
00:27:10,096 --> 00:27:11,662
John's been
drilling locks
376
00:27:11,664 --> 00:27:14,031
to gain access to empty
houses.
377
00:27:14,033 --> 00:27:17,768
Now it all makes sense why.
378
00:27:40,793 --> 00:27:43,293
I mean,
I understand keys get lost,
379
00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:44,995
maybe -- maybe on one house,
380
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:47,231
but to have two
and three in a row,
381
00:27:47,233 --> 00:27:49,667
that -- that was --
that was definitely a red
flag.
382
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:09,119
For John,
it's a bitter betrayal.
383
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:23,367
Smile,
you're on candid camera.
384
00:28:45,458 --> 00:28:50,427
Investigators set to
work unraveling the fraud.
385
00:28:50,429 --> 00:28:52,930
North port
police department
386
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:56,100
began pulling all of the deeds
from those homes
387
00:28:56,102 --> 00:28:59,403
that were suspected to be
rented out fraudulently.
388
00:28:59,405 --> 00:29:02,506
And what he learned was
that there was --
389
00:29:02,508 --> 00:29:05,008
there were deeds
that were forged.
390
00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:07,077
Without John Chamberlain's
tip,
I don't know
391
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,947
if north port pd would have
ever
learned of this scheme.
392
00:29:09,949 --> 00:29:13,884
Janeene Jones is now
under police investigation,
393
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:17,688
and John Chamberlain is the
one
who turned her in.
394
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:20,424
But what he's about to
tell police next
395
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:23,761
could mean he's in danger.
396
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:41,445
John Chamberlain
has told police
397
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:42,913
that janeene Jones
398
00:29:42,915 --> 00:29:46,784
and husband Matt's
real estate business is a
fraud.
399
00:29:46,786 --> 00:29:50,521
And there's something else
that
doesn't make sense to John --
400
00:29:50,523 --> 00:29:54,458
the death of
janeene's husband, Max.
401
00:30:15,347 --> 00:30:18,215
My mom had
my father cremated,
402
00:30:18,217 --> 00:30:24,121
um, a couple of days
since his passing.
403
00:30:24,123 --> 00:30:30,794
There actually was not
any exam done.
404
00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:34,798
After Max died,
janeene came to my house.
405
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,867
She asked me
406
00:30:36,869 --> 00:30:39,603
if I would hold on
to Max's ashes
407
00:30:39,605 --> 00:30:42,105
because she just didn't feel
like dealing with them
408
00:30:42,107 --> 00:30:43,240
and she thought
it would be better
409
00:30:43,242 --> 00:30:44,441
if I held on to them.
410
00:30:44,443 --> 00:30:47,611
And I just thought
that that was very odd.
411
00:30:52,718 --> 00:30:56,220
Max's death
and hasty cremation
412
00:30:56,222 --> 00:30:58,155
is most suspicious,
413
00:30:58,157 --> 00:31:01,358
especially because it seems
janeene wasted little time
414
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,093
in mourning.
415
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:06,797
The information
that I had is after his death,
416
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:10,434
janeene Jones' behavior
was unusual.
417
00:31:10,436 --> 00:31:13,570
She did receive $1 million
of a life insurance policy
418
00:31:13,572 --> 00:31:15,272
after Max died.
419
00:31:15,274 --> 00:31:18,208
And right after he died,
she started getting things
420
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:21,445
like plastic surgery,
breast augmentation.
421
00:31:21,447 --> 00:31:23,313
She had young boyfriends.
422
00:31:23,315 --> 00:31:24,648
She was buying things.
423
00:31:24,650 --> 00:31:27,017
She was spending money.
424
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:30,888
I think her own behavior
made people start to wonder
425
00:31:30,890 --> 00:31:32,623
what really happened to Max
426
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:35,392
and -- and why, you know,
she was behaving like that
427
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:37,527
and not behaving like a --
a grieving widow.
428
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,567
It seems
janeene wanted to
429
00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:45,369
dispose of Max's body quickly.
430
00:31:45,371 --> 00:31:47,905
You know,
once he's cremated,
431
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:50,374
the case is significantly
lost.
432
00:31:50,376 --> 00:31:52,209
There's a lot of evidence
that's been lost.
433
00:31:52,211 --> 00:31:54,344
Aaah!
Aaah!
434
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:59,750
To prove a crime without a
body is extremely difficult.
435
00:32:03,822 --> 00:32:06,957
I believe that
janeene killed Max Jones
436
00:32:06,959 --> 00:32:10,694
and I believe that that is
an unsolved homicide.
437
00:32:10,696 --> 00:32:12,696
There's more
to janeene's behavior
438
00:32:12,698 --> 00:32:14,431
to raise suspicions.
439
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,634
She's got a new friend
named Becky.
440
00:32:17,636 --> 00:32:20,470
Becky is a hard-partying girl
with a past.
441
00:32:20,472 --> 00:32:23,307
Janeene falls in
with Becky fast,
442
00:32:23,309 --> 00:32:27,911
experimenting with cocaine
and partying till all hours.
443
00:32:27,913 --> 00:32:32,683
New husband Matt has already
taken a back seat in her life.
444
00:32:34,586 --> 00:32:36,520
The police have
no physical evidence
445
00:32:36,522 --> 00:32:40,157
linking janeene to
her late husband Max's death,
446
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:41,658
but what they do have
447
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:45,896
is John's tip-off
about her fraudulent business.
448
00:32:45,898 --> 00:32:51,501
Police put janeene
under surveillance.
449
00:32:51,503 --> 00:32:54,371
February 20th, 2013.
450
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:57,207
At the sweet tomatoes
restaurant, north port,
451
00:32:57,209 --> 00:33:00,711
janeene and her friend Becky
go to lunch.
452
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:11,088
That's when police
get the full picture
453
00:33:11,090 --> 00:33:13,924
of why janeene
is so taken with Becky.
454
00:33:13,926 --> 00:33:15,592
Like John Chamberlain,
455
00:33:15,594 --> 00:33:18,328
Becky can do some
handiwork for janeene.
456
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:24,301
But she's no plumber.
457
00:33:24,303 --> 00:33:26,103
Instead, she's told janeene
458
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:30,307
she can put her in touch
with a hitman.
459
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:33,076
But Becky is actually
working with police,
460
00:33:33,078 --> 00:33:37,280
who are suspicious of the
death
of janeene's husband, Max.
461
00:33:37,282 --> 00:33:40,517
And today, Becky
is wearing a hidden camera,
462
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,819
trying to learn the identity
463
00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:45,455
of janeene's intended target.
464
00:33:59,471 --> 00:34:01,872
It was at
a sweet tomatoes restaurant.
465
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:03,974
I was in the car.
466
00:34:03,976 --> 00:34:05,342
So during the meeting,
467
00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:08,512
while Becky and janeene
are inside the restaurant,
468
00:34:08,514 --> 00:34:11,214
I can hear the audio.
469
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:27,731
Then,
between bites of salad,
470
00:34:27,733 --> 00:34:31,568
janeene announces
the target for the hit.
471
00:34:37,076 --> 00:34:39,342
Her long-time friend John,
472
00:34:39,344 --> 00:34:41,545
who knows all about her scam,
473
00:34:41,547 --> 00:34:43,713
is top of the hit list.
474
00:34:43,715 --> 00:34:46,883
She gave Becky a physical
description of John
Chamberlain.
475
00:34:46,885 --> 00:34:48,452
She gave the address.
476
00:34:48,454 --> 00:34:51,888
And she wrote the, um,
477
00:34:51,890 --> 00:34:54,658
a diagram of his actual house.
478
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:56,593
And she even wrote on the side
479
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:58,862
about pets in the house
and the 11-year-old daughter.
480
00:34:58,864 --> 00:35:02,666
And she wrote some details
out on that napkin for Becky.
481
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:20,984
The further this case went
482
00:35:20,986 --> 00:35:22,953
and the more that
janeene Jones talked
483
00:35:22,955 --> 00:35:24,554
and the more evidence we had,
484
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:27,124
and especially if she wanted
John Chamberlain murdered...
485
00:35:48,914 --> 00:35:51,248
Janeene wants the
hit
to take place
486
00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:53,250
while she's out of town.
487
00:35:58,257 --> 00:36:00,257
The wheels are in motion.
488
00:36:00,259 --> 00:36:02,325
Now, all janeene needs to do
489
00:36:02,327 --> 00:36:05,662
is make sure
her alibi is airtight.
490
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:07,697
There's no room for mistakes.
491
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:10,100
Janeene talked
to Becky about,
492
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:13,837
that she would be going
on a cruise in the future
493
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:17,073
and that it would be great
if this could be accomplished
494
00:36:17,075 --> 00:36:20,844
while she was on this cruise
to establish her alibi.
495
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:24,614
So she would be out of town.
496
00:36:24,616 --> 00:36:26,816
I think she's actually
very intelligent.
497
00:36:26,818 --> 00:36:28,752
I think she's calculated.
498
00:36:28,754 --> 00:36:33,490
I just think she thought she
was
going to get away with it.
499
00:36:33,492 --> 00:36:37,060
The police investigation
has suddenly gone from fraud
500
00:36:37,062 --> 00:36:39,563
to a potential murder.
501
00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:43,366
But talking about hiring
a hitman isn't enough.
502
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:47,037
Police need more evidence,
503
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:50,240
and are about to get it.
504
00:37:02,254 --> 00:37:04,654
Businesswoman
and mother janeene Jones
505
00:37:04,656 --> 00:37:06,256
is hiring a hitman
506
00:37:06,258 --> 00:37:08,592
to kill her one-time friend,
John Chamberlain,
507
00:37:08,594 --> 00:37:10,193
who told police
508
00:37:10,195 --> 00:37:12,329
about her real estate fraud.
509
00:37:12,331 --> 00:37:15,832
The police have janeene
under surveillance,
510
00:37:15,834 --> 00:37:18,735
first while friend Becky
is waiting for her
511
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:21,738
in a car with the hitman.
512
00:37:30,182 --> 00:37:31,514
Becky has arranged
513
00:37:31,516 --> 00:37:35,485
for janeene to meet
the hitman face-to-face.
514
00:37:35,487 --> 00:37:37,821
But what janeene doesn't know
515
00:37:37,823 --> 00:37:40,357
is that Becky
is setting her up
516
00:37:40,359 --> 00:37:43,326
and the hitman
she's about to meet is, in
fact,
517
00:37:43,328 --> 00:37:45,362
an undercover officer,
518
00:37:45,364 --> 00:37:48,798
officer Harris
of north port police.
519
00:38:00,746 --> 00:38:02,545
When I first
saw janeene,
520
00:38:02,547 --> 00:38:04,414
I was like, "my god."
521
00:38:04,416 --> 00:38:08,351
She looks just like
a normal person.
522
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:09,786
A normal person.
523
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:12,889
Until she started talking.
524
00:38:12,891 --> 00:38:15,425
But normal appearance,
she looked
525
00:38:15,427 --> 00:38:18,061
like she wouldn't hurt a --
hurt a fly.
526
00:38:29,241 --> 00:38:30,774
Okay.
527
00:38:32,811 --> 00:38:34,077
Okay, and so I won't...
528
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,113
Janeene shows
a picture of her target,
529
00:38:37,115 --> 00:38:39,649
John Chamberlain,
and announces that if
530
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:42,052
John's daughter
is hurt in the process,
531
00:38:42,054 --> 00:38:44,187
that's fine with her.
532
00:38:44,189 --> 00:38:47,390
Janeene, um, talked about
the 11-year-old
533
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:50,160
daughter of the victim.
534
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:53,697
And she straight-up said
535
00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:56,266
that she didn't care or
anything
about the -- the victim.
536
00:38:56,268 --> 00:38:58,001
That if she got in the way,
537
00:38:58,003 --> 00:39:04,874
she wanted me to kill
an 11-year-old girl.
538
00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:06,743
Janeene
wants to make sure
539
00:39:06,745 --> 00:39:10,480
the hitman knows everything
about John Chamberlain,
540
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:12,949
including where he lives.
541
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:32,302
Okay.
542
00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:01,097
That's when
janeene ups the ante
543
00:40:01,099 --> 00:40:04,134
and asks for a two-for-one
deal.
544
00:40:04,136 --> 00:40:06,102
She wants a second hit,
545
00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:08,938
someone named Matt.
546
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,088
She's ordered a second hit
on her new husband,
547
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:26,723
Matt Smith.
548
00:40:33,198 --> 00:40:35,765
She had an insurance
policy on Matt.
549
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:39,102
So she wanted to
do the two-for-one.
550
00:40:39,104 --> 00:40:42,806
It was financially based.
551
00:40:42,808 --> 00:40:45,108
For now,
it's all talk.
552
00:40:45,110 --> 00:40:48,011
It will become
a murder solicitation
553
00:40:48,013 --> 00:40:49,746
when she hands over money.
554
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:20,677
Police!
On the ground!
555
00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:22,645
Now!
556
00:41:22,647 --> 00:41:23,780
On your knees!
557
00:41:23,782 --> 00:41:25,849
She looked
really mad.
558
00:41:25,851 --> 00:41:29,986
Um, she had a very mean look
on her face.
559
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:33,389
She was not happy.
560
00:41:33,391 --> 00:41:37,360
She, you know,
urinated in her shorts.
561
00:41:37,362 --> 00:41:39,829
She was still
wearing sunglasses.
562
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:43,733
Um, but she looked very mad.
563
00:41:49,741 --> 00:41:53,343
It made me think that
she was living a double life.
564
00:41:59,618 --> 00:42:03,086
From, you know,
the mother that I knew
565
00:42:03,088 --> 00:42:06,723
to this person
that I was seeing.
566
00:42:09,227 --> 00:42:11,895
I had no clue
what was going on.
567
00:42:11,897 --> 00:42:17,166
It just didn't hit me that jan
could do this kind of stuff.
568
00:42:17,168 --> 00:42:21,271
I actually confronted
her
about my dad's death.
569
00:42:21,273 --> 00:42:23,439
And I had asked her,
570
00:42:23,441 --> 00:42:27,544
"did you have anything
to do with dad's death?"
571
00:42:27,546 --> 00:42:28,845
And she looked at me
572
00:42:28,847 --> 00:42:30,680
and she said,
"I can't tell you that."
573
00:42:30,682 --> 00:42:34,417
And when she said that,
I just cried.
574
00:42:34,419 --> 00:42:36,619
I didn't want to believe it.
575
00:42:36,621 --> 00:42:39,389
Janeene Jones is
sentenced to life in prison
576
00:42:39,391 --> 00:42:42,325
for solicitation
to murder Matthew Smith
577
00:42:42,327 --> 00:42:44,694
and John Chamberlain.
578
00:42:44,696 --> 00:42:49,065
Max Jones' death
remains unsolved.
579
00:42:50,468 --> 00:42:52,702
Hey, mama.
