I SPENT MY CAREER
CLOSING MURDER CASES.

TO CATCH A RUTHLESS KILLER,

TO FIND JUSTICE FOR THE DEAD.

MY FIRST NAME IS JOSEPH.
MY LAST NAME IS SCHILLACI.

VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT I WORKED

WITH THE CITY OF MIAMI
POLICE DEPARTMENT,

ROUGHLY 29 TO 30 YEARS
OF SERVICE.

I WAS A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
FROM 2001 TO 2006.

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

I'D WORKED THREE STRAIGHT DAYS.

I WAS MENTALLY
AND PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED

AND EXTREMELY EXCITED
ABOUT GOING HOME.

Rodriguez: HEY, SARGE.

I GET A CALL
FROM DETECTIVE RODRIGUEZ,

HE SAID, "HEY, SARGE.
WE GOT A JUMPER.

I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED, GOING HOME.

I GOT THIS.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT."

OKAY.

I OWE YOU ONE, BROTHER.

SOMETHING FELT DIFFERENT
WITHIN ME.

Kenda: WHEN SCHILLACI ARRIVES
AT THE SCENE,

HE'S IN A COURTYARD
OF A HIGH-END APARTMENT COMPLEX

ON BISCAYNE BAY.

SCHILLACI, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I SAID, JUST GIVE ME
A COUPLE OF MINUTES

TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON,
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I'LL GO.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

IT WAS SURREAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE
ALL THIS LIFE AROUND YOU,

BUT THEN RIGHT AT YOUR FEET,

YOU HAVE DEATH.

♪♪

I PULLED THE SHEET BACK,
AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY STRUCK

BY HOW YOUNG HE LOOKED.

AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

WHAT WOULD BE SO BAD
IN THIS MAN'S LIFE

THAT HE WOULD DO SOMETHING
SO HORRIFIC,

SO DESPERATE, SO LONELY?

COME HERE.
DID YOU SEE THIS?

BUT THEN I QUICKLY REALIZED
THAT SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.

THE LAST THING I WAS EXPECTING
TO SEE WERE THE STAB MARKS.

SO THEN I KIND OF, LIKE,
A STEP BACK EMOTIONALLY

AND STARTED TO
REALLY LOOK DEEPER.

SCHILLACI ALSO SEES INCISED
WOUNDS, CUTS IN HIS ARMS,

HIS HANDS, AND HIS WRISTS.

ARE THOSE DEFENSIVE WOUNDS,

TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF
FROM SOMEBODY WIELDING A BLADE?

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
WE LOOK FOR ARE THE FINGERNAILS.

HE HAD CHIPPED FINGERNAILS,

LIKE IF HE WERE STRUGGLING
OR FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

I DON'T THINK HE JUMPED
FROM THE BALCONY.

I THINK HE WAS THROWN

Kenda:
SCHILLACI LOOKS AROUND HIM

AND SEES 20 STORIES
OF APARTMENTS.

WHICH ONE IS THE MAGIC ONE?

HE DOESN'T KNOW.

Schillaci: WHEN WE WERE
OUT THERE IN THE COURTYARD,

WE NOTICED CAMERAS.

YEAH, WE GOT CAMERAS STATIONED
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

SHE COULD UNLOCK A LOT OF
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS FOR US.

WE HAVEN'T HEARD A THING.

-BANGING, SCREAMING, NOTHING?
-NOTHING.

DURING THE CANVASS, I WAS
GETTING EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED

BECAUSE WE WEREN'T GETTING

HOW DID HE GET THAT WAY?

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

Schillaci:
SO NOW AT THAT POINT,

I KIND OF SAW OUT OF
MY PERIPHERAL

SOME BLOODY DRAG MARKS
GOING OFF.

SO I PEELED OFF FROM THE GROUP
AND FOLLOWED THE BLOODY TRAIL

INTO THE BATHROOM.

Kenda: IN THE BATHROOM,

HE FINDS A BLOODY TOWEL
ON THE FLOOR.

AND OUT OF
THE CORNER OF HIS EYE,

HE SEES SOMETHING
IN THE BATHTUB.

AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE
THE HORROR OF WHAT I SAW.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

♪♪

I JUST REMEMBER
HOLDING MY BREATH.

I DIDN'T REALLY THINK

WHAT I WAS SEEING
IS WHAT I WAS SEEING.

IT JUST --
IT WAS TOO SURREAL TO ME.

Kenda:
IN THE BATHTUB IS A FEMALE

DRESSED IN HER UNDERWEAR,

AND HER HAIR
IS MATTED WITH BLOOD.

SCHILLACI LOOKS AT HER
AND REALIZES IT'S THE GIRL

FROM THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
IN THE GARAGE.

THIS WOMAN'S NOT A WITNESS.

SHE'S NOT A SUSPECT.

SHE'S VICTIM NUMBER TWO.

JOSE!

I WAS SO SHOCKED.

JOSE!

I JUST COULDN'T GET PAST
THE INNOCENCE

OF WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE TO ME.

IT'S NOT THAT
I'M JUST SEEING THE VICTIM

LAYING IN A BATHTUB.

I'M SEEING MY OWN CHILDREN.

SCHILLACI'S EMOTION WAS HINGED
TO HIS FAMILY.

HE PICTURED HIS DAUGHTER
IN THAT BATHTUB.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I'VE BEEN THERE,
AND IT IS BEYOND UGLY.

Schillaci: AFTER GETTING OVER
THE INITIAL SHOCK,

MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHTS WERE,
WE HAD A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

I NOTICE THAT THERE'S
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BLOOD

COMING FROM
UNDERNEATH HER CHEST.

HE SEES TWO STAB WOUNDS
IN THE CENTRAL CHEST.

THEY APPEAR TO BE DEEP.

HE ALSO SAYS BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA
TO THE HEAD,

PRODUCING THE MATTED BLOOD
IN THE HAIR.

SO HE LOOKS AROUND
IN THE BATHROOM TO SEE

IF THERE ARE ANY WEAPONS
IN HERE,

AND HE SEES A PAIR
OF BLOODY SCISSORS ON THE SINK.

Schillaci:
THERE WAS SOME HAIR

THAT WAS INSIDE
THE FOLD OF THE SCISSORS

THAT LOOKED LIKE IT MATCHED
BLACK HAIR OF THE VICTIM.

THEN I COULD SEE
SOME BLOOD DROPLETS.

IT WAS VERY APPARENT TO ME

THAT SOMEBODY HAD STABBED HER
WITH THOSE SCISSORS.

THERE WAS AN IRON
THAT HAD SOME BLOOD ON IT.

IT LOOKED LIKE THE CORD
HAD BEEN BROKEN OFF OF IT,

WHICH, IN MY LINE OF WORK,

THAT'S CALLED A CLUE,
A BIG CLUE.

MOST LIKELY, THE IRON IS USED AS
AN INSTRUMENT OF BLUNT TRAUMA.

BUT WHY IS THE CORD RIPPED OUT
OF THAT IRON?

WAS YOUR ATTEMPT TO STRANGLE
THE VICTIM WITH THAT?

Schillaci:
AFTER BEING IN THAT BATHROOM

FOR JUST
A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,

I FOUND MYSELF
LITERALLY IN HELL.

THERE'S A PURSE IN THE LIVING
ROOM OF THIS APARTMENT.

AND IT'S BEEN DUMPED
ON THE FLOOR.

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

Schillaci:
GOING THROUGH THE BELONGINGS,

WE WERE ABLE TO FIND
IDENTIFICATION

THAT BELONGED
TO 26-YEAR-OLD AMY HOYOS.

THAT WAS THE YOUNG LADY
THAT WAS IN THE BATHTUB.

WE ACTUALLY FOUND A COUPLE
OF CELLPHONES ON THE FLOOR,

AND IT LOOKED LIKE
ONE OF THE CELLPHONES

MAY HAVE BELONGED TO AMY.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS
IS PASSCODE-PROTECTED.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A WARRANT
TO GET IN...

IF WE COULD JUST GET
INTO THE PHONE,

THAT WOULD CERTAINLY UNLOCK
A LOT OF CLUES OR INFORMATION

THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
IN THIS CASE.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE ARE WE
LOOKING AT HERE, GANG?

Woman:
RIGHT HERE, DETECTIVE.

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

♪♪

WE DISCOVERED THERE WAS
A BLOODY KNIFE.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT WAS GONNA BE
A WEAPON THAT WAS USED.

THERE WE GO.

Kenda: SOMEONE IS MOTIVATED
TO KILL THESE PEOPLE.

USE A BLADE
OR A PAIR OF SCISSORS?

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU MEAN IT.

AND WHEN YOU'RE WORRIED
THAT THE STAB WOUNDS

AREN'T GONNA WORK,

YOU HIT THIS GIRL OVER THE HEAD
WITH AN IRON,

AND YOU THROW THE MALE
OFF A BALCONY

14 STORIES ABOVE THE STREET.

YOU ARE DETERMINED THAT
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE.

Schillaci:
I WANT TO SEE IF I CAN GET
IN TOUCH WITH THE FAMILIES.

ARE YOU OKAY TO PURSUE THIS?

YEAH, MAN, I GOT THIS.ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

WHAT IS GOING ON
BETWEEN THESE PEOPLE?

WE NOW FIND THEM
TO BE UNITED IN DEATH.

HOW WERE THEY IN LIFE?

FOR THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.

-HAVE A SEAT.
-THANK YOU.

FIRST.

IS AMY IN
SOME SORT OF TROUBLE?

COULDN'T EVEN
GET THE WORDS OUT.

I DO REMEMBER NOT BEING ABLE
TO TELL HIM,

"YOUR DAUGHTER IS DEAD."

SHE'S GONE.

I CAN ONLY SAY,
"YOUR DAUGHTER'S GONE."

NO.

[ SOBS ]

IT'S AN EXPERIENCE
THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET

FOR AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE.

I KNEW, I COULD HEAR IT
IN HIS VOICE,

HOW MUCH HE LOVED HIS DAUGHTER.

I JUST FELT LIKE I WRONGED HIM
IN THE WORST WAY.

NO!

EVERYTHING THAT HE LIVED FOR,
HIS MERE EXISTENCE,

IN A BLINK OF AN EYE WAS GONE.

GETTING THAT TYPE OF NEWS
IS DEVASTATING,

IT REALLY IS,
THAT YOUR LITTLE SISTER IS GONE.

I NEVER IMAGINED THAT SOMETHING
LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

Foster:
AMY WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON,

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.

SHE WAS JUST ALWAYS THOUGHTFUL
AND WANTED TO PUT PEOPLE FIRST.

SHE JUST HAD A REALLY KIND SOUL.

Shapiro: AMY WAS A RECEPTIONIST,
AND SHE ALSO MAY HAVE DONE

A LITTLE BIT OF CLUB PROMOTING
HERE AND THERE,

BUT IT WASN'T LIKE
HER ASPIRATIONS IN LIFE.

SHE DID IT HAPPILY,

BUT SHE REALLY WANTED
TO BE A FIREFIGHTER.

Foster: SHE WAS A TOUGH GIRL,
BUT SHE HAD THAT SOFT HEART.

SHE ALWAYS WANTED
TO CARE FOR OTHERS.

AMY WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING
AS A FIREFIGHTER.

MR. HOYOS, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME
ABOUT AMY'S FRIEND JAMES?

DID YOU KNOW HIM WELL?

NO, NOT REALLY.

Schillaci: TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP WAS

WAS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

FROM WHAT MY SISTER TOLD ME,
JAMES WAS NEW HERE.

HIS FAMILY WAS FROM TEXAS.

HE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW ANYONE.

AND SO SHE WANTED TO BE
A GOOD FRIEND TO HIM.

JAMES WAS A NORMAL GUY.

THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN AMY AND JAMES

WAS STRICTLY FRIENDSHIP.

THERE WAS NEVER
ANYTHING MORE TO IT.

SHE'S A CARETAKER,
SO, YOU KNOW,

SHE JUST KIND OF WANTED
TO BE THAT FRIEND

TO KIND OF SHOW HIM AROUND
THE CITY.

[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]

[ SOBBING ]

HEY.

I PROMISE YOU,

I WILL FIGURE OUT
WHO DID THIS TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

I WAS GONNA GET
THAT MAN ANSWERS.

[ LINE RINGING]

SCHILLACI GETS IN CONTACT
BY TELEPHONE

WITH JAMES GLASS'S FAMILY
IN NORTH TEXAS.

Schillaci: I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO
TELL YOU THIS,

BUT SOMETHING'S HAPPENED
TO YOUR SON JAMES.

Schillaci: DEATH NOTIFICATION
TO ME, PERSONALLY,

IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE JOB

BECAUSE YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY
GOING TO A MOTHER OR FATHER,

BROTHER OR SISTER, AND YOU'RE
TURNING THEIR LIVES UPSIDE DOWN.

WHEN I CALLED HIS DAD,
I LEARNED THAT JAMES'S FAMILY,

THEY WERE
THE REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS,

AND JAMES ACTUALLY
HAD COME TO MIAMI

TO START UP
HIS OWN REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS.

SEARCHING THE APARTMENT,
THERE WAS SOME PAPERWORK

THAT WE FOUND
THAT DEALT WITH HIM

TRYING TO START UP
A REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS,

BUT HE DIDN'T COMPLETE IT.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT AMY?

DID HE EVER MENTION HER?

Father: YES.

HE BROUGHT HER UP
A COUPLE TIMES.

JAMES'S FATHER
KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT AMY,

BUT HE DID KNOW
THAT JAMES REALLYLIKED HER.

HE LIKED HER SO MUCH THAT HE WAS
SHOWING THE FAMILY HER PICTURE

AT A WEDDING
THAT HE WENT TO IN TEXAS.

DID JAMES HAVE ISSUES WITH
ANYONE THAT YOU KNEW OF?

JAMES' DAD SAID, NO,
THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY ENEMIES

THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF.

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH
AS SOON AS WE FIND ANYTHING OUT.

THANK YOU.

[ KNOCKS ]HEY. COME ON IN.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE LAST
CALL ON THE CALL LOG

WAS FROM A LOCAL NUMBER.

THAT'S GREAT.
LET'S TRY IT.

Schillaci: BEING ABLE
TO GET THE SEARCH WARRANT

AND GET INTO AMY'S PHONE

WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL
IN THIS INVESTIGATION.

[ LINE RINGING]

WHEN SCHILLACI CALLS

...A GUY ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY.

SCHILLACI SAYS,
"ARE YOU A FRIEND OF AMY HOYOS?"

Man: WHO IS THIS?

THIS IS DETECTIVE SCHILLACI WITH

WHAT? WAIT. THE POLICE?
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS ABOUT?

HE KEPT ASKING ME QUESTIONS
THAT I COULDN'T PROVIDE.

I CAN'T TELL HIM WHAT'S GOING ON
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS.

SIR, DID YOU SPEAK
WITH AN AMY HOYOS LAST NIGHT?

[ LINE DISCONNECTS]

HELLO!

HE HUNG UP ON ME.

THAT'S MAKING HIM VERY, VERY,
VERY SUSPICIOUS.

SCHILLACI KNOWS
IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT,

WHAT IS THE STORY WITH THIS GUY,

AND HOW DOES HE KNOW A GIRL THAT
HAPPENS TO BE DEAD IN A BATHTUB?

[ LINE RINGING]Man: HELLO?

SIR, DID YOU SPEAK WITH
AN AMY HOYOS LAST NIGHT?

[ LINE DISCONNECTS]

HELLO!

Schillaci: HE HUNG UP ON ME.

HIS BEHAVIOR MADE ME
VERY WORRIED,

VERY WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

-WHAT DO YOU WANT?
-SIR, DO NOT HANG UP ON ME.

I NEED YOU
TO LISTEN TO ME.

Metz: I DID NOT RECOGNIZE
THE PHONE NUMBER THAT CALLED ME.

I SAID, LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU ARE.

FOR ALL I KNOW, YOU KNOW,
YOU COULD BE SOMEBODY CRAZY.

I SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
YOUR NAME, BADGE NUMBER,

AND WHAT DEPARTMENT YOU'RE WITH

AND LET ME VERIFY WHO YOU ARE?"

OUR POLICY IS THAT
WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY OURSELVES.

SO I GAVE HIM MY BADGE NUMBER.

THEN HE STARTED TO OPEN UP
AND SHARE SOME MORE INFORMATION

ABOUT HIMSELF AND AMY.

MY NAME'S ABE METZ.

Kenda:
HE SAYS HIS NAME IS ABE METZ.

HE DRIVES A LIMOUSINE
FOR A LIVING

AND HE DOES TAKE SOME RATHER
WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE AROUND MIAMI.

Metz: BASED ON EXPERIENCE
AND BACKGROUND,

I DID NOT WANT TO DIVULGE
INFORMATION ABOUT

PEOPLE WHO I KNOW OR CLIENTS

TO ANYBODY WITHOUT
FIRST VETTING WHO THEY ARE.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT,
I UNDERSTAND THAT, ABE,

AND I'M SORRY
FOR THE CONFUSION.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN PLEASE
TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW AMY?

AMY WAS A CLUB PROMOTER,
AND I WAS AT THE TIME

WORKING FOR
A LARGER LIMOUSINE COMPANY,

AND I HAD MET HER
THROUGH HOTEL CONCIERGES

WHERE SHE WOULD PROMOTE THE
CLUBS THAT SHE WAS ENGAGED WITH.

THE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
THAT WE HAD

ENDED UP
TURNING INTO A FRIENDSHIP.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHY WERE YOU
IN CONTACT WITH HER LAST NIGHT?

DID YOU SEE HER?

SO AT THIS POINT,
THE CASE GETS REALLY INTERESTING

BECAUSE THE LIMO DRIVER
TELLS ME

HIM AND AMY WERE
AT A CLUB WITH JAMES.

Metz:
WE MET UP WITH JAMES...

THIS IS JAMES.

AND THIS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN
NAMED JUAN.

JAMES JUST MOVED HERE
FROM TEXAS.

-HOW DO YOU LIKE MIAMI?
-IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT, BUT...

Metz: THERE WERE NO ISSUES
AT THE CLUB.

THERE WAS NO INSTANCES OF ANY
ARGUMENT OR ANY FIGHT OR SPAT.

-WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING ABE?
-NO, I'M GOOD.

UH, EARLY MORNING.

SO ABE SAYS THAT HE DECIDED
TO LEAVE THE BAR

BECAUSE HE HAD TO WORK
THE NEXT DAY.

NOW I KNOW THAT JAMES, AMY,
AND JUAN ARE TOGETHER,

ALL THREE OF THEM, AT THE CLUB.

-YOU KNOW JUAN'S LAST NAME?
-NO, I DON'T.

I THINK HE SAID HE LIVES IN THE
SAME APARTMENT COMPLEX AS JAMES.

LOOK, I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.
I'M WAITING TO PICK UP A CLIENT.

I GOT TO GO.ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

Schillaci: NOW I WANT TO KNOW
WHO JUAN IS.

LET'S GO.

Kenda: SCHILLACI GOES BACK
TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX

AND ASKS THE RESIDENT MANAGER,

"IS THERE ANYBODY
NAMED JUAN WHO LIVES HERE?"

WELL, THERE'S A GUY
NAMED JUAN DIAZ

WHO LIVES ON THE 10th FLOOR.

HE'S 26 YEARS OLD.

THAT COULD WORK.

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

PLEASE HAVE A SEAT,
MR. DIAZ.

Schillaci:
MR. DIAZ WAS COOPERATIVE.

HE COMES TO THE STATION,

AND HE GIVES ME
A TAPE-RECORDED STATEMENT.

DURING THAT
TAPE-RECORDED STATEMENT,

HE GIVES ME DETAIL AFTER DETAIL,
A TIMELINE OF WHAT TRANSPIRED.

JUAN SAYS IT WAS ABOUT
3:00 IN THE MORNING,

AND THEY DECIDED
THEY WERE GONNA GO HOME

AND CONTINUE TO PARTY.

HE TOLD US THAT WHILE THEY WERE
AT THE APARTMENT,

AMY WAS UNCOMFORTABLE
WITH MR. DIAZ

BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA
GIVE DRUGS TO JAMES.

SHE WAS TRYING TO HELP JAMES,

SO SHE DIDN'T WANT ANY DRUGS
IN THAT APARTMENT.

SO SHE ASKED JAMES
TO ASK JUAN TO LEAVE.

SCHILLACI LOOKS AT JUAN
AND SAYS,

"YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE JUST
TOLD ME, DON'T YOU?

YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON
IN CONTACT WITH TWO PEOPLE

WHO ARE NOW DEAD AS A RESULT
OF A VIOLENT ATTACK."

AND JUAN SEES WHERE THIS
CONVERSATION IS GOING AND SAYS,

"NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
I WASN'T THE LAST GUY TO LEAVE."

THAT JUST
ABSOLUTELY BLEW MY MIND.

AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT?
DID I JUST HEAR THAT?"

BECAUSE ABE NEVER SAID THAT
HE WENT TO THAT APARTMENT, EVER.

NOW SCHILLACI'S THINKING,

"WHY DID YOU FAIL
TO TALK ABOUT THAT?

THAT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT,
DON'T YOU THINK, ABE?"

Kenda: MIAMI HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
JOE SCHILLACI

THOUGHT HE WAS CLOSE
TO FINDING WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE MURDER OF JAMES GLASS
AND AMY HOYOS.

Schillaci: YOU MIND IF
I RECORD OUR CONVERSATION?

BUT NOW HE'S BEING TOLD
THAT HIS PRIME SUSPECT

WAS MAYBE NOT THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE JAMES AND AMY ALIVE.

AS FAR AS JUAN DIAZ
AND HIS ALIBI,

WE WERE ABLE TO GO BACK
TO THE VIDEO FOOTAGE.

AND LO AND BEHOLD,
WE SEE HIM GET ON AN ELEVATOR

RIGHT AROUND 3:45,
AND WHAT BUTTON DOES HE PUSH?

♪♪

THE 10th FLOOR.

Kenda: AND THE ELEVATOR TAPES
DO NOT SHOW HIM

REGAINING THE ELEVATOR
THE REST OF THE EVENING.

SO HE'S NOT THERE, LIKE HE SAYS,

CERTAINLY LEFT BEFORE
THESE PEOPLE WERE KILLED.

AT THAT POINT, WE ESSENTIALLY
ELIMINATED HIM AS OUR SUSPECT.

[ SIREN WAILING ]

SO NOW I NEED TO GO
FIND THE LIMO DRIVER.

BECAUSE HE WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO BE SEEN WITH JAMES AND AMY,

HE BECAME MY NUMBER-ONE SUSPECT.

-HELLO?
-IT'S DETECTIVE SCHILLACI.

Metz:
POLICE CALLED BACK AGAIN.

I MADE IT CLEAR THAT I COULDN'T
MEET WITH THEM

OR TALK TO THEM FOR VERY LONG
BECAUSE

I HAD A CUSTOMER
COMING INTO THE VEHICLE

AND HAD TO TAKE THEM TO DINNER.

I'M LIKE, "I DON'T CARE
WHERE YOU'RE AT.

STOP.
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU."

HE'S AT COCONUT GROVE
FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES.

NOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE
A CAT-AND-MOUSE GAME,

AND IN MY MIND,
HE'S DODGING ME.

I MEAN, THE LEVEL OF URGENCY
WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

[ SIREN WAILING ]

Metz: THAT NIGHT THAT THE POLICE
TALKED TO ME,

IT FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

LISTEN UP, ABE, I'M GONNA
ASK YOU THIS ONLY ONCE,

Schillaci: BECAUSE I DIDN'T
WANT HIM TO KNOW,

"YOU'RE MY NUMBER-ONE SUSPECT,"

BUT I ALSO WANTED HIM TO KNOW,
"HEY, YOU GOT TO WORK WITH ME."

DID YOU GO BACK TO JAMES'S HOUSE
LAST NIGHT AFTER THE BAR?

YEAH, YEAH, I DID.

ABE ADMITS IT.
"YES, I WAS THERE.

I WAS THERE.
I TOOK THEM ALL BACK THERE."

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL US
THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

IT'S BECAUSE OF MY JOB.

Metz: IT WASN'T DONE SO MUCH
AS TO HIDE ANYTHING.

IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE FACT

THAT I HAD IN MY CONTROL
A COMPANY-ISSUED VEHICLE.

Schillaci: HE WAS USING THAT
LIMOUSINE FOR PERSONAL SERVICES,

THAT HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO.

Kenda: ABE'S EXPLANATION DOES
MAKE SENSE TO SCHILLACI

BUT HE STILL REMAINS

THE LAST PERSON
THAT SEES THOSE TWO ALIVE.

AND HE'S PHYSICALLY
IN THAT APARTMENT.

Schillaci: AND I SAID,
"TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED

WHEN YOU WENT BACK
TO JAMES'S APARTMENT."

AFTER JUAN LEFT,

IT WAS JUST MYSELF,
JAMES, AND AMY,

AND I WAS AT THAT POINT
DRIFTING OFF

BECAUSE I WAS EXHAUSTED.

I HAD TO BE BACK AT WORK
AT 8:00 A.M.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND I REALIZED THAT,
IF I DON'T LEAVE NOW,

I'M NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO FUNCTION.

SO I MADE THE DECISION
TO LEAVE.

-HEY, GREAT TO MEET YOU, MAN.
-NICE TO MEET YOU.

GET HOME SAFE, OKAY?.

♪♪

NOW, WHAT TIME DID YOU SAY
YOU PICKED UP YOUR CLIENT AGAIN?

I'VE BEEN WITH HIM
ALL DAY.

I PICKED THEM UP
AT 8:00 THIS MORNING.

SO THERE'S NO WAY THAT ABE
COULD BE IN THAT APARTMENT

AT 9:00 IN THE MORNING
KILLING PEOPLE

WHEN HE'S DRIVING A CLIENT
AROUND BEGINNING AT 8:00 A.M.

THERE'S NO WAY MR. ABE METZ WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DEATHS.

HIS TIMELINE MATCHES UP.
HIS ALIBI MATCHES UP.

SO WE ELIMINATE HIM
AS A SUSPECT.

SO IS AMY OKAY?

WHEN I FINALLY TOLD HIM
THAT JAMES AND AMY WERE DEAD,

HE REACTED THE WAY I THOUGHT
SOMEBODY THAT REALLY CARED

ABOUT THEM WOULD REACT.

HE WAS DEVASTATED.

OH, MY GOD.

Metz: I WAS SHOCKED.

I HONESTLY COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT
SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED.

I'M VERY SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS.

Kenda:
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

ABE IS NOT A SUSPECT
IN THIS CRIME.

HE'S NOT EVEN A WITNESS
TO THIS CRIME.

WE HAVE LITERALLY
RUN OUT OF SUSPECTS.

Schillaci:
WE HAD A DOUBLE HOMICIDE,

AND I SO BADLY
WANTED TO KNOW WHO DID THIS.

SO I GO TO AMY'S FAMILY
TO FIND OUT,

DOES SHE HAVE ENEMIES?

DOES SHE HAVE PEOPLE
THAT DON'T LIKE HER?

AND WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS SHE

THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY CAUSE
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

HONESTLY, IF I'M WORRIED
ABOUT ANYONE...

...IT'S JAMES.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

Shapiro: I HEARD ABOUT JAMES
THROUGH MY MOTHER.

I BELIEVE MY MOTHER SAID,

"AMY IS KEEPING COMPANY
WITH THIS BOY,

AND I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT."

I NEVER ACTUALLY MET HIM,

BUT OTHER PEOPLE
IN MY FAMILY HAVE,

AND THEY ALL GOT THIS
REALLY WEIRD FEELING ABOUT HIM.

Kenda: SHE SAYS TO SCHILLACI
THAT IT SEEMED TO THEM

THAT JAMES HAD A FIXATION
OF ROMANCE WITH AMY

THAT AMY WASN'T RECIPROCATING.

SHE CARED FOR HIM, AND I GUESS
HE PROBABLY TOOK HER GOOD HEART,

HER GOOD NATURE --
HE TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY,

THINKING THAT MAYBE

THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE
THAN JUST FRIENDSHIP.

-DID YOU TALK TO AMY ABOUT THIS?
-YES, WE ALL DID.

Schillaci: THEY URGED HER
NOT TO HANG AROUND WITH HIM

BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ON
THE SAME LEVEL WITH EACH OTHER.

Shapiro:
AMY SAID, "HE'S A FRIEND.

HE NEEDS ME.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE.

AND I WANT TO BE
A FRIEND TO HIM."

Foster: AMY'S THAT PERSON THAT
SHE'S GONNA STICK BY YOUR SIDE.

SHE REALLY KEPT
HER FRIENDS CLOSE,

AND, YOU KNOW, SHE'S GONNA BE
THAT RIDE-OR-DIE KIND OF PERSON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.

I APPRECIATE IT.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW IF
THIS INFATUATION

JAMES APPARENTLY HAS WITH AMY
PLAYS A PART IN THIS CASE,

BUT HE KNOWS ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT IT COULD.

Schillaci:
SO I WENT BACK TO THAT APARTMENT

BECAUSE THAT APARTMENT
POSSESSED THE ANSWERS.

IT WASN'T AT
AMY'S PARENTS' HOUSE.

IT WASN'T AT JAMES'S
PARENTS' HOUSE.

IT WASN'T AT THE CLUBS.

THE REAL, REAL ANSWERS, TO ME,
WERE IN THAT APARTMENT.

SCHILLACI STARTS LOOKING
AT THIS APARTMENT

DIFFERENTLY THAN HE DID BEFORE.

BEFORE IT WAS ALL ABOUT
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

BUT NOT NOW.

NOW HE'S LOOKING FOR
LIFESTYLE INDICATIONS.

WHO ARE YOU, JAMES?

WHO ARE YOU?

EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THAT HOUSE
I SEARCHED.

IN HIS BEDROOM,

HE HAD EVERYTHING STREWN
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Kenda:
BUT THEN SCHILLACI FINDS

A PRISTINE DISPLAY OF CLOTHING,
NEATLY PRESSED,

HANGERS SPACED
EXACTLY TWO INCHES APART.

IT'S AS NEAT AS A PIN.

SO WHAT EXACTLY
DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

[ CELLPHONE VIBRATES
AND CHIMES ]

WHAT'S UP, RODRIGUEZ?

I GET A CALL
FROM DETECTIVE RODRIGUEZ.

WHAT'D HE SAY?

HE TELLS ME THAT JAMES'S FATHER
RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM JAMES

RIGHT BEFORE JAMES'S DEATH,

Glass: DAD?

Kenda:
THE CONTENTS OF THAT MESSAGE...

Glass: HELLO?

Kenda: ...COULD TURN
THIS CASE UPSIDE DOWN.

IT'S GAME-CHANGING INFORMATION.

♪♪

Kenda: DETECTIVE SCHILLACI IS
AT A LOSS FOR SUSPECTS

IN THE MURDERS
OF AMY HOYOS AND JAMES GLASS.

JUST WHEN HE THINKS THAT HE
DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO NEXT,

JAMES'S FATHER HAS DISCOVERED
A VOICEMAIL ON HIS CELLPHONE...

WHAT'S UP, RODRIGUEZ?

...PLACED MOMENTS BEFORE
JAMES JUNIOR'S DEATH.

[ LINE RINGING]

Glass: DAD?

[ Crying]
I DID SOME BAD THINGS.

ACCORDING TO THE FATHER,
JAMES SOUNDS DEPRESSED,

DEFEATED.

Schillaci:
JAMES TELLS HIS DAD,

"YOU KNOW, DAD,
YOU ALWAYS FIX MY PROBLEMS.

YOU ALWAYS CLEAN UP MY MESS.

BUT THIS IS A MESS
THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN CLEAN UP."

Kenda: JAMES'S FATHER GOES ON
TO EXPLAIN

THAT JAMES JR. HAS TAKEN
ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN THE PAST,

THAT HE HAD A RECENT BREAKUP
WITH A GIRLFRIEND IN TEXAS,

AND HE TOOK IT VERY, VERY,
VERY BADLY,

AND THAT JAMES JR. HAS A TEMPER.

AND WHEN HE DRINKS,
HIS TEMPER CAN FLARE.

OKAY. THANKS, MAN.

Schillaci: THIS WAS
THE DEFINING MOMENT FOR ME.

I'LL NEVER, EVER,
EVER FORGET IT.

I WAS SITTING ON THE BED,
AND A LIGHT BULB CAME ON.

IT WAS LIKE
A HALOGEN LIGHT BULB.

THEY JUST LIT MY BRAIN UP.

HE'S GOT UNWORN SHOES,
UNWORN SUITS IN ONE AREA.

BUT THEN HIS FLOOR'S
IN DISARRAY.

I REALIZED AT THAT MOMENT THAT
HE WAS LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE.

HE WAS TRYING TO LIVE
IN THE SHOES OF HIS FATHER,

AND HE WAS TORN.

HE WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY TORN.
HE COULD NOT DO IT.

NOW I'M THINKING THAT
JAMES KILLED AMY

AND THEN KILLED HIMSELF.

THE MOST MADDENING PART
OF HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION

IS NOT HAVING
THE ANSWERS YOU REQUIRE.

AND THE BEST OF ALL OF US
IN HOMICIDE,

SCHILLACI BEING AN EXAMPLE,

DO NOT REST UNTIL
THEY FIND THOSE ANSWERS.

Schillaci: SO AT THIS POINT
OF THE INVESTIGATION,

I GO TO THE AUTOPSY

BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS GONNA
GIVE US A LOT OF THE PIECES

OF THE PUZZLE
THAT NEEDED TO FIT.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
ULTIMATELY TELLS US

THAT THE WOUNDS ON HIS ARMS

THAT I THOUGHT WERE
DEFENSIVE WOUNDS

FROM BLOCKING BLOWS
WERE WOUNDS FROM THE FALL.

Kenda: THEY'RE AS A RESULT OF
FALLING THROUGH A PALM TREE

AT HIGH SPEED
FROM THE 14th FLOOR

BECAUSE THE CORONER FINDS PLANT
MATERIAL IN THE WOUND SITES.

FURTHER...Schillaci: ON THE WRIST?

...THE WRIST CUTS APPEAR
TO BE SELF-INFLICTED,

SUPERFICIAL CUTS TO THE WRIST,

WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON IN PEOPLE
WHO TRY TO KILL THEMSELVES.

WHEN WE LOOK ON THE CHEST...

Schillaci: THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
WAS VERY CLEAR ABOUT

THE STAB WOUNDS TO HIS CHEST.

THEY ONLY WENT IN ABOUT
HALF AN INCH OVER THE HEART.

THIS IS A SELF-INFLICTED
WOUND AS WELL.

SO EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED
AS NOT BEING PUT THERE

BY SOMEONE TRYING
TO KILL THIS PERSON.

THE ULTIMATE CAUSE OF DEATH
FOR JAMES

WAS BLUNT-FORCE INJURY
FROM THE FALL.

LET'S GO. COME ON.

IF HIS PURPOSE WAS
TO END HIS DAYS,

AND HE FELL TO HIS DEATH
FROM THIS BALCONY,

WELL, WHO KILLED AMY?

THE ONLY PERSON THERE...

WAS JAMES.

AMY WAS JAMES'S LAST LIFELINE,

HIS LAST GRIP ON SOCIETY.

SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE
THAT UNDERSTOOD HIS FEELINGS

AND HIS DEPRESSION
OVER HIS CIRCUMSTANCES.

WE DON'T HAVE MR. DIAZ
AND THE LIMO DRIVER

LEFT THE APARTMENT.

THEY'RE OUT OF THE PICTURE.

WE KNOW THAT AT SOME POINT

JAMES AND AMY LEAVE
THE APARTMENT AND GO OUT AGAIN

BECAUSE WE SEE THEM COMING IN
AT 6:52.

[ DOOR OPENS, KEYS JANGLE ]

-YOU WANT ANOTHER DRINK?
-NO, NO, I GOT TO GO TO SLEEP.

AND SO SHOULD YOU.

DO WANT TO SLEEP IN MY BED,
MAYBE?

[ LAUGHS ]
NO, NO, I'M GOOD HERE.

ALL RIGHT, NIGHT, BUDDY.GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, JAMES,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HEY.

I STRONGLY BELIEVE
THAT JAMES WAS SO INFATUATED

AND SO IN LOVE WITH HER

THAT HE MADE
SOME ADVANCES TOWARDS HER.

-STOP, STOP!
-COME ON, AMY.

I SEE THE WAY
THAT YOU LOOK AT ME.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS.YEAH, WELL, WHAT IS IT?

YOU JUST GET OFF
ON TEASING ME?

-STOP!
-I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

JAMES, STOP!
AGH!

AMY VIOLENTLY RESISTS HIM.

GET OFF OF ME!

SO WHEN HE FELT THIS BETRAYAL,
HE SNAPPED.

WHAT IS IT?
I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

HE ABSOLUTELY SNAPPED.

Kenda:
JAMES GLASS IS DEPRESSED.

HE IS CONCERNED
ABOUT HIS FUTURE.

HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE HAS ONE.

HE HAS A GIRL
WHO SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT HIM,

AND HE DISCOVERS HE DOESN'T
RESPOND TO HIM ROMANTICALLY.

ALL THIS HAPPENS TO HIM

IN A MATTER
OF A FEW MILLISECONDS.

AGH!

[ SCREAMS ]

IN THAT MOMENT,
HE WENT INTO A RAGE.

I THINK HE WENT BLACK.

HE THRUST...

[ SCREAMS ]

...A SCISSOR...

STOP!

...STRAIGHT THROUGH
HER STERNUM BONE INTO HER HEART.

Kenda: THAT DOESN'T CAUSE HER
IMMEDIATE DEATH.

[ GASPING ]

HE TRIES TO STRANGLE HER
WITH THE CORD IN THE IRON,

AND IT BREAKS LOOSE
FROM THE IRON.

THEN HE USES IT
AS A BLUNT INSTRUMENT

AND STRIKES HER IN THE HEAD
WITH IT,

AND THIS DOES KILL HER.

Schillaci: THEN...

HE DRAGGED HER LIFELESS BODY
INTO THE BATHROOM.

HE THOUGHT IF HE PUT HER
IN THE BATHTUB,

THAT HE COULD
CLEAN UP WHAT HE DID,

BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

HE NOW IS AT A POINT WHERE
HE REALIZES WHAT HE'S DONE,

AND THERE'S NO WAY OUT.

HE TOOK THE LIFE OF THIS
INNOCENT, BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY

WHO WAS THE ONE PERSON
THAT LISTENED TO HIM,

THAT UNDERSTOOD
WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH.

AND...

HE TOOK THAT AWAY.

Kenda:
"WHAT HAVE I DONE?

I DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE."

HE TRIES TO CUT HIS WRISTS,
AND THAT DOESN'T WORK.

Schillaci: HE EVEN STABBED
HIMSELF IN THE CHEST

OVER THE HEART TO SAY,
YOU KNOW, "I'M NOT WORTHY."

AND THEN WHEN THATDIDN'T WORK,

HE ULTIMATELY MADE THAT CALL...

-DAD?
-...TO HIS DAD,

TOLD HIS DAD,
"DAD, THIS IS A MESS

THAT YOU CAN'T CLEAN UP."

Glass:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

TELL EVERYONE I LOVE THEM
AND I'M SORRY.

SO WHAT'S HE DO NEXT?

HE KNOWS SOMETHING
THAT WILL WORK.

HE LOOKS AT THAT BALCONY.

THERE'S ONLY ONE
TEAR-DROPPED BLOOD DROP,

ONE DROP.

HE'S NOT WALKING,
HE'S RUNNING --

RUNNING TO HIS DEATH.

THAT WAS IT.
HE WAS NOT GONNA FAIL AT IT.

HE FAILED AT EVERYTHING ELSE,

BUT HE WAS NOT GONNA FAIL
AT THAT.

[ THUD, CAR ALARM WAILS ]

Kenda: THE MURDER OF AMY HOYOS
IS CLOSED BY EXCEPTION

BECAUSE THE SUSPECT IS DECEASED.

AND THE DEATH OF JAMES GLASS
IS A SUICIDE --

SELF-INFLICTED, NO CRIME.

Schillaci: ONE OF MY BIGGEST
RESPONSIBILITIES

AS A DEATH INVESTIGATOR

WAS CARRYING THAT MESSAGE
BACK TO THE FAMILY TO SAY,

"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED."

Foster:
PUTTING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER

AND FIGURING THINGS OUT,

JAMES WAS OBSESSED WITH HER.

I WISH SHE WOULD HAVE LISTENED,

YOU KNOW, WHEN I SAID,
"LEAVE HIM ALONE."

AT FIRST I WAS MAD,
BUT THEN AGAIN,

I THOUGHT HE WAS SICK,

SO I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE
IN THEIR RIGHT MIND

WOULD BE CAPABLE OF DOING
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND SO I HAVE FOUND IN MY HEART

TO FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE DID.

Foster: THE WAY THAT IT HAPPENED
SO TRAGICALLY,

IT TOOK A TOLL ON ME.

IT TOOK ME SOME YEARS TO KIND OF
PUT HER SPIRIT TO REST

AND JUST REMEMBER
ALL THE HAPPIER TIMES.

Shapiro:
I'LL NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE

TO HAVE THAT TIME
WITH MY SISTER,

TO SHARE ADULTHOOD WITH HER,

TO HAVE HER MEET MY CHILDREN,

AND I'LL NEVER SEE HER
GET MARRIED

AND HAVE HER OWN CHILDREN.

THAT PART OF IT IS DEVASTATING.

Schillaci: I WILL GO AS FAR
AS SAYING THIS CASE

IS THE CASE
THAT HAS HAUNTED ME THE MOST.

JAMES NEEDED HELP,
BUT UNFORTUNATELY,

IT WAS THE KIND OF HELP
THAT AMY COULDN'T PROVIDE.

Kenda:
AMY DID NOT REALIZE OR SUSPECT

THAT JAMES GLASS'S DEPRESSION
WAS SO DEEP-SEATED.

HAD SHE UNDERSTOOD

WHAT A FRAGILE CONDITION
HIS EMOTIONS WERE IN,

SHE WOULD NOT HAVE STAYED
IN THAT APARTMENT.

SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE JAMES COULD
HURT HER OR HURT HIMSELF.

SHE WAS WRONG.
