1
00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:02,533
- [phone ringing]
- [911 operator speaking]
2
00:00:02,567 --> 00:00:04,767
[woman speaking]
3
00:00:08,533 --> 00:00:09,934
[gunshots]
4
00:00:10,934 --> 00:00:14,033
He was gunned down, ambushed.
5
00:00:14,066 --> 00:00:18,300
Tim and Tia grew even closer,
living in the same house.
6
00:00:18,333 --> 00:00:20,233
From the outside looking in,
you would not know
7
00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:21,500
that there was any troubles.
8
00:00:21,533 --> 00:00:24,166
Could be a little hanky-panky
going on here.
9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,066
What did she know
and what was really going on?
10
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,867
Who convinced who
to murder and why?
11
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,667
Everyone has a breaking point.
Every one of us.
12
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,333
I used to tell them all the
time, man, "Watch your back."
13
00:00:36,367 --> 00:00:37,700
Don't get complacent.
14
00:00:37,734 --> 00:00:40,867
At first, it was like,
this can't be true.
15
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,367
Place went crazy.
I mean, crazy.
16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,867
He was a really good guy.
17
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,867
There was something there
that just didn't quite match.
18
00:00:53,767 --> 00:00:57,200
Seduction can be overpowering.
19
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:09,433
The city of Buford
is a small suburb
20
00:01:09,467 --> 00:01:10,767
just outside of Atlanta,
21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,834
maybe 30 miles from downtown.
22
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:18,266
A lot of diversity out there,
a lot of nice looking homes,
23
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,200
it's just a real
great area to live.
24
00:01:21,166 --> 00:01:25,200
But in 2017, the young
family home in Buford
25
00:01:25,233 --> 00:01:27,100
hid some dark secrets.
26
00:01:28,033 --> 00:01:29,266
George and Tia Young
27
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,500
were living there
with their three sons
28
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:33,600
and another member
of the household
29
00:01:33,634 --> 00:01:36,133
whose presence
would test their marriage.
30
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:40,400
[Rob] George and Tia
were high school sweethearts.
31
00:01:40,433 --> 00:01:42,500
They met each other,
immediately fell in love.
32
00:01:42,533 --> 00:01:44,567
They were from South Carolina,
33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,533
but that move to Georgia
34
00:01:46,567 --> 00:01:48,900
was definitely
a positive move for them.
35
00:01:48,934 --> 00:01:50,767
George Young
worked in security
36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,734
and technology type stuff
37
00:01:52,767 --> 00:01:54,667
and opened his own company
38
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:58,667
and then subcontracted
for a major security firm.
39
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,734
[Rob] The opportunities in
Georgia were just endless,
40
00:02:01,767 --> 00:02:03,967
is related to technology.
41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,800
George and I talked
and set up a meeting.
42
00:02:06,834 --> 00:02:10,800
And lo and behold,
here comes this guy, about 6'5",
43
00:02:10,834 --> 00:02:12,767
good looking guy,
smile on his face.
44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,734
We immediately connected
45
00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:16,767
and he was on
a payroll after that.
46
00:02:17,967 --> 00:02:19,734
George was my go-to guy.
47
00:02:19,767 --> 00:02:22,367
He was a master at all crafts.
48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,367
There was nothing
that was too big for him.
49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,033
There was nothing that was
too technical for him.
50
00:02:27,066 --> 00:02:30,100
He would work until
the wee hours of the morning
51
00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:31,734
to make sure
that the job got done
52
00:02:31,767 --> 00:02:34,000
and he was
a great problem solver.
53
00:02:34,033 --> 00:02:36,900
He worked hard, but he made
time for his family,
54
00:02:36,934 --> 00:02:39,200
his kids participating
in their sports.
55
00:02:40,367 --> 00:02:42,500
[Rob] Tia worked
in the medical field.
56
00:02:42,967 --> 00:02:44,400
She was a good mom.
57
00:02:44,433 --> 00:02:46,867
The boys loved her
and she would spend
58
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,634
as much time
as she could with them.
59
00:02:49,734 --> 00:02:52,433
People view Tia Young
as a very loving,
60
00:02:52,467 --> 00:02:55,333
caring,
doting mother and wife.
61
00:02:55,367 --> 00:02:57,433
Your typical
suburban housewife,
62
00:02:57,467 --> 00:02:59,667
caring for her family,
putting them first.
63
00:03:00,367 --> 00:03:03,700
George was
so in love with Tia.
64
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:06,767
He was always finding ways
to keep her happy,
65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,266
always finding ways
to surprise her with different things.
66
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:12,433
[Stacy] From the outside
looking in,
67
00:03:12,467 --> 00:03:14,066
you would not know
that there was any troubles
68
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,100
within George
and Tia's residence.
69
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,967
Harvey Timothy Lee came into
George and Tia's life
70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,400
at an early age.
71
00:03:25,433 --> 00:03:26,767
They grew up together
72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,834
and continued to be in contact
with one another
73
00:03:28,867 --> 00:03:31,734
through their childhood
and adult years.
74
00:03:31,767 --> 00:03:34,700
[Willie] Tim moved to Atlanta
to try to better his stuff.
75
00:03:34,734 --> 00:03:37,000
And when George ran into him,
76
00:03:37,033 --> 00:03:39,533
he found out that
Tim was living out of a hotel,
77
00:03:39,934 --> 00:03:41,967
had no employment.
78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,333
And so George,
being the friend that he is,
79
00:03:44,367 --> 00:03:45,533
gave him a job.
80
00:03:45,567 --> 00:03:47,266
But that's the kind of guy
George was.
81
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,433
You know, he's not gonna
turn his back on a friend.
82
00:03:50,467 --> 00:03:53,333
[Tony] George invited him
to live with him and his wife
83
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:56,934
and his three children
all in their Buford home.
84
00:03:56,967 --> 00:04:01,266
George and Tim worked together
in various security jobs.
85
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,667
And ultimately, Tim began
to contribute, not much,
86
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,200
but contribute financially
to the household.
87
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:10,166
[Rob] It was very clear to me,
88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,634
Tim did not have
the skill set.
89
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:16,767
He did not have any capability
close to George's skill
90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,266
regarding getting a job done.
91
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,967
But George seemed to be
defensive about Tim.
92
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,400
George called Tim his brother.
93
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:30,166
That's how close
and integrated into this family Tim was.
94
00:04:31,166 --> 00:04:33,300
George has done
a generous thing here,
95
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:35,300
but bringing someone
who has nothing
96
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:38,166
into a happy home
can have consequences.
97
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,533
Envy is a powerful emotion.
98
00:04:42,567 --> 00:04:45,767
Tim ain't accomplished a thing
in his whole entire life.
99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,233
He comes into George's life,
100
00:04:47,266 --> 00:04:49,133
he look at how George
got things going on,
101
00:04:49,166 --> 00:04:50,867
got a nice house,
got a family,
102
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:54,000
got his own business,
successful.
103
00:04:54,734 --> 00:04:56,300
He wanted what George had.
104
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:03,066
Through 2016,
through most of 2017,
105
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:04,400
the Youngs
were doing pretty well.
106
00:05:04,433 --> 00:05:08,433
Dual income, family,
three kids in good schools.
107
00:05:09,734 --> 00:05:13,066
But then in the fall of 2017,
Tia lost her job
108
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:14,734
as a nursing assistant.
109
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:17,166
There goes one of
their paychecks.
110
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,166
Now it's all on
George's shoulders
111
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,233
to keep that family together
and keep providing for them.
112
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,467
George has said,
"Now I'm gonna do everything in my power
113
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,700
to make up
that financial difference,
114
00:05:29,734 --> 00:05:33,767
so please give me as much
work as you can give me."
115
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,300
George would sometimes
leave the house
116
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:38,367
as early as
seven in the morning
117
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,433
and not get home
till one in the morning.
118
00:05:40,467 --> 00:05:43,066
He also would go
and do the private security
119
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,834
in the evenings
at events for rappers
120
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:47,900
or people throughout Atlanta.
121
00:05:47,934 --> 00:05:50,533
[Willie]
You would think everybody living under the same roof,
122
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:52,100
everybody would chip in.
123
00:05:52,133 --> 00:05:53,900
So George wouldn't
have to work that hard.
124
00:05:53,934 --> 00:05:56,033
You would expect your wife
to at some point say,
125
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:58,500
"Well, listen,
let me get a part-time job."
126
00:05:58,533 --> 00:06:02,300
[Rob] I was amazed that he was
still holding things together.
127
00:06:02,333 --> 00:06:07,333
And I just kept looking for
some kind of break somewhere.
128
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,700
[Stacy] Money troubles can put
a strain on any marriage.
129
00:06:10,734 --> 00:06:14,367
George may resent Tia because
she's not pulling her weight.
130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,934
Tia, meanwhile,
may resent George
131
00:06:16,967 --> 00:06:18,800
because he's gone so much.
132
00:06:18,834 --> 00:06:22,166
Or she could be concerned
about the type of work
133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,000
he's doing when he's gone.
134
00:06:25,834 --> 00:06:29,266
Tia had expressed some
concern to other individuals
135
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:32,600
of the risk that it was taking
on George and the family
136
00:06:32,634 --> 00:06:33,634
for George to be out there
137
00:06:33,667 --> 00:06:35,600
working some of
these security jobs
138
00:06:35,634 --> 00:06:38,100
with high-profile clients
that we don't really know
139
00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:40,133
a lot of their background or
who they're hanging out with.
140
00:06:41,233 --> 00:06:43,600
[Willie] I was actually
concerned when I found out
141
00:06:43,634 --> 00:06:46,100
that George was doing the type
of work that he was doing.
142
00:06:46,133 --> 00:06:49,433
George wasn't experienced
enough to be out there.
143
00:06:49,467 --> 00:06:50,867
And I used to tell him
all the time,
144
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:52,367
"Man, make sure
you're watching.
145
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,667
You gotta be paying attention.
Watch your back at all times.
146
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:56,800
Don't get complacent.
147
00:06:56,834 --> 00:06:59,133
Don't expect somebody else
to be watching for you."
148
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,100
In late 2017, George Young
was working many hours,
149
00:07:08,133 --> 00:07:10,433
many nights he was not home.
150
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:11,734
Friends I've talked to said
151
00:07:11,767 --> 00:07:12,867
George had told them,
152
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,400
"I'm happy
Tim is living with us.
153
00:07:14,433 --> 00:07:16,300
I'm away from
the house so much.
154
00:07:16,333 --> 00:07:19,900
It's nice having a man there
to help protect my family."
155
00:07:19,934 --> 00:07:22,066
[Stacy] George is relying on
Tim at this point
156
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,634
to protect his family.
157
00:07:23,667 --> 00:07:25,066
But you have to ask yourself,
158
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,433
whose interest is Tim
really protecting?
159
00:07:29,934 --> 00:07:32,433
Tim and Tia had been
lifelong friends,
160
00:07:32,467 --> 00:07:36,767
but they grew even closer
living in the same house.
161
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,200
[Sabrina]
Tia and Tim's relationship began to sort of blossom.
162
00:07:40,233 --> 00:07:43,300
In fact, they even called
each other brother and sister
163
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:44,567
in front of their friends,
164
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,233
in front of other individuals
who were around.
165
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:49,266
Tia would be inside
of Tim's room.
166
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,266
That was their hangout spot
that they would go in there
167
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,066
and watch movies
throughout the day
168
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:54,600
because they didn't have
anything else to do.
169
00:07:54,634 --> 00:07:56,333
The kids were at school.
George was at work.
170
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:59,100
I think everyone kind of
started to speculate
171
00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:02,367
a little bit on what their
relationship really was.
172
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,467
There was that sense
of intimacy
173
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:06,233
that was starting
to appear to people.
174
00:08:07,433 --> 00:08:09,734
[Stacy] This is
a dangerous situation.
175
00:08:09,767 --> 00:08:13,233
Tia and Tim are home with
too much time on their hands.
176
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:15,533
And boredom can turn
to discontent
177
00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:17,834
or something even more toxic.
178
00:08:18,634 --> 00:08:20,166
[Rob] Everyone has
a breaking point.
179
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,500
Every one of us,
but none of us could have imagined
180
00:08:23,533 --> 00:08:26,734
the magnitude of
what was about to happen.
181
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,367
November 16th, 2017,
11:31 at night,
182
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,700
a call is made to 911 from
George and Tia Young's house.
183
00:08:36,734 --> 00:08:39,066
- [phone ringing]
- [911 operator speaking]
184
00:08:40,934 --> 00:08:43,533
The caller says
shots had just been fired
185
00:08:43,567 --> 00:08:46,567
and there was a body
lying on the front porch.
186
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,533
[911 operator speaking]
187
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:00,800
On November 16th of 2017,
188
00:09:00,834 --> 00:09:03,700
a 911 call came in
at 11:31 p.m.
189
00:09:03,734 --> 00:09:06,667
and that 911 caller
was Tia Young.
190
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:07,900
[911 operator speaking]
191
00:09:08,233 --> 00:09:10,333
[Tia speaking]
192
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,200
As Tia Young is on the phone,
193
00:09:16,233 --> 00:09:19,000
dispatchers hear a man
in the background
194
00:09:19,033 --> 00:09:20,934
start talking to Tia.
195
00:09:20,967 --> 00:09:23,033
[911 operator speaking]
196
00:09:23,433 --> 00:09:26,400
[Tia speaking]
197
00:09:41,066 --> 00:09:43,367
[Tony] That man is Tim Lee.
198
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,233
That person that's lying
out there bleeding
199
00:09:45,266 --> 00:09:47,567
is his best friend,
George Young.
200
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,033
[Tia speaking]
201
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,033
[Tim speaking]
202
00:09:51,066 --> 00:09:52,533
[Tia speaking]
203
00:09:53,967 --> 00:09:55,233
[911 operator speaking]
204
00:09:56,033 --> 00:09:57,033
[Tia speaking]
205
00:09:57,066 --> 00:09:58,967
[911 operator speaking]
206
00:10:01,066 --> 00:10:03,333
[Tia speaking]
207
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:06,300
At one point, they asked
if anybody has done CPR
208
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:07,767
or is doing CPR.
209
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,634
- [Tia whimpering] Ma'am.
- [911 operator speaking]
210
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:12,600
[911 operator speaking]
211
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,133
[Tia speaking]
212
00:10:17,166 --> 00:10:18,433
[911 operator speaking]
213
00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:22,133
[Tia speaking]
214
00:10:22,166 --> 00:10:23,166
[gasps]
215
00:10:24,734 --> 00:10:27,000
[911 operator speaking]
216
00:10:27,033 --> 00:10:30,367
Sadly, by the time that
medical personnel arrived,
217
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,266
George had succumbed
to his injuries
218
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,433
and died on the steps
of his own home.
219
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:43,300
[Rob] The night of George's
murder, I'll never forget it.
220
00:10:43,333 --> 00:10:46,033
I remember the wife's
phone ringing
221
00:10:46,066 --> 00:10:49,033
and she says hello to you,
and then she says,
222
00:10:49,066 --> 00:10:51,367
"Oh my God, not George."
223
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,734
And my wife looked at me
and said,
224
00:10:53,767 --> 00:10:55,667
"Someone just killed George."
225
00:10:56,734 --> 00:10:59,400
It was like,
this can't be true.
226
00:10:59,433 --> 00:11:02,066
Who in the world
would murder George?
227
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:05,634
I got my staff
in the conference room,
228
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:09,367
broke the news to everybody,
and the place went crazy.
229
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:11,500
I mean crazy.
230
00:11:11,533 --> 00:11:13,867
No one could even believe it.
231
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:15,700
"Not George, not George."
232
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:21,300
Hey, can I take
a break for a second?
233
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:22,734
- [producer] Yeah, absolutely.
- All right.
234
00:11:32,033 --> 00:11:34,600
[Dana] Homicide detectives
got called out to the scene.
235
00:11:34,634 --> 00:11:36,266
I remember pulling up
to the house,
236
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,934
thinking this
shouldn't be happening in this neighborhood.
237
00:11:38,967 --> 00:11:41,500
It's a well put together area.
238
00:11:41,533 --> 00:11:44,300
When I got there, I could see
George from the road
239
00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:45,467
laying on the front porch.
240
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,500
His feet were
still close to the door,
241
00:11:47,533 --> 00:11:48,600
laying flat on his back,
242
00:11:48,634 --> 00:11:50,200
looking straight up
into the air.
243
00:11:50,233 --> 00:11:53,700
George had literally placed
his keys into the door
244
00:11:53,734 --> 00:11:56,900
to unlock the door
into his own home.
245
00:11:56,934 --> 00:11:59,734
And before he could
even enter the threshold
246
00:11:59,767 --> 00:12:03,567
of his actual house,
he was gunned down,
247
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,367
ambushed right on the steps
of his front door.
248
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,233
[gunshots]
249
00:12:11,233 --> 00:12:13,133
Our initial
scene investigation
250
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:15,900
and looking at George's body
at a closer proximity
251
00:12:15,934 --> 00:12:18,000
revealed that it appeared
pre-autopsy
252
00:12:18,033 --> 00:12:20,533
that he had been shot twice,
one in the chest area,
253
00:12:20,567 --> 00:12:22,800
one in the lower face area.
254
00:12:22,834 --> 00:12:24,667
When police
and evidence technicians
255
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,166
looked over the property
256
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,567
and ultimately
a scouring of the house,
257
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,066
they only found one casing
near his body.
258
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,800
That led them to believe
maybe the shooter or shooters
259
00:12:34,834 --> 00:12:37,867
had picked up at least
one of those casings.
260
00:12:40,667 --> 00:12:42,734
We wanted to get
initial interviews
261
00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:44,700
with the people that were
in the residence
262
00:12:44,734 --> 00:12:46,166
at the time
that this occurred.
263
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,266
And that was
with both Tia and Tim.
264
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,767
We sat down with Tim
there at the scene
265
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,066
to get an initial interview.
266
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,600
[officer speaking]
267
00:12:54,634 --> 00:12:56,400
[Tim speaking]
268
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:08,667
[officer speaking]
269
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,467
[Tim speaking]
270
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,867
[officer] Mmm-hmm.
271
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:19,400
[Tim speaking]
272
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,634
Tia told police she was asleep
upstairs in her bedroom.
273
00:13:27,667 --> 00:13:29,800
- [officer] Tell me--
- [Tia speaking]
274
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,133
[Stacy] This must be
an emotional time for both Tia and Tim.
275
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:51,634
A husband and a friend
was gunned down
276
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:53,867
on the steps of their home,
277
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,934
a place where a family
is supposed to feel safe.
278
00:13:58,433 --> 00:14:00,367
I remember as an investigator
279
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,834
doing my initial walk
through the house,
280
00:14:01,867 --> 00:14:03,967
opening the door
to the children's bedroom
281
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,433
and seeing them
peacefully sleeping.
282
00:14:06,533 --> 00:14:08,000
And I remember it
breaking my heart,
283
00:14:08,033 --> 00:14:10,967
knowing that when
they did finally wake up,
284
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,734
that they were gonna be told
that their father
285
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:14,700
had been shot on the
front porch of their house.
286
00:14:17,133 --> 00:14:19,066
We sat down as investigators
287
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,567
and went over what some of
the possibilities were
288
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,233
that led to Georgia's death.
289
00:14:23,266 --> 00:14:24,500
Robbery was
definitely something
290
00:14:24,533 --> 00:14:26,333
that we had to consider,
291
00:14:26,367 --> 00:14:27,867
that the keys
were in the door,
292
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,033
in the deadbolt
of the door still.
293
00:14:30,066 --> 00:14:32,133
He still had his vehicle keys.
294
00:14:32,166 --> 00:14:34,400
He still had
his iPhone with him.
295
00:14:34,433 --> 00:14:36,467
Why would they have
not taken the items?
296
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:37,867
So this couldn't
have been a robbery.
297
00:14:38,934 --> 00:14:41,200
During every
homicide investigation,
298
00:14:41,233 --> 00:14:43,900
we're gonna conduct a thorough
canvas of the neighborhood.
299
00:14:43,934 --> 00:14:47,400
And so we sent
uniform officers and other detectives
300
00:14:47,433 --> 00:14:48,867
out to knock on some doors
301
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:50,333
and see if anybody
in the neighborhood
302
00:14:50,367 --> 00:14:52,133
had seen anything.
303
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:53,967
[Sabrina] One of George
and Tia's neighbors
304
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,367
was actually
a young teenage girl.
305
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,700
And while she's babysitting,
306
00:14:57,734 --> 00:15:01,066
she hears what she thinks
are two gunshots.
307
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:03,767
[Tony] She looked out
her window,
308
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,700
and what she told police
that she saw was a man.
309
00:15:08,734 --> 00:15:10,233
Couldn't really describe him
that much.
310
00:15:10,266 --> 00:15:12,000
It was dark, after all.
311
00:15:12,033 --> 00:15:15,634
But he was hunched over
and kind of crawling almost
312
00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:18,333
to the side of
George Young's truck
313
00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:20,233
that was parked
in the driveway.
314
00:15:20,266 --> 00:15:23,400
She says that shadowy figure
reached underneath that truck
315
00:15:23,433 --> 00:15:25,900
and seemed to be
fumbling around for a while.
316
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,033
[Dana]
That night, George had been at a large department store
317
00:15:31,066 --> 00:15:33,400
within the mall
to provide security
318
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:36,166
for a well-known rapper.
319
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,300
So we wanted to further
investigate that as well.
320
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:40,700
Not only did we obtain
video surveillance
321
00:15:40,734 --> 00:15:42,266
from the event itself,
322
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,400
but we also spoke
with coworkers of George's
323
00:15:44,433 --> 00:15:46,133
to see if maybe
there was an incident
324
00:15:46,166 --> 00:15:48,867
where he made somebody angry
at his security job.
325
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,000
And angry enough
that they followed him home.
326
00:15:51,934 --> 00:15:53,166
[Willie]
There's always a potential
327
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,834
of something going wrong,
absolutely.
328
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:56,967
You have to look
at all angles,
329
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,200
because anything is possible.
330
00:15:59,233 --> 00:16:02,700
[Rob] Tia's asking me
what happened at the event.
331
00:16:02,734 --> 00:16:04,667
I'm saying, "Nothing.
332
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:05,867
George was great."
333
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:07,834
George was not in harm's way.
334
00:16:07,867 --> 00:16:09,867
It was no problem
at the event.
335
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:17,200
So as is common in
any homicide investigation,
336
00:16:17,233 --> 00:16:20,100
the police are always going
to look at the phone records
337
00:16:20,133 --> 00:16:24,033
of the individuals involved,
especially the victim.
338
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:26,266
In George's phone records,
339
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:27,934
the police were able
to determine
340
00:16:27,967 --> 00:16:31,200
that he had been on the phone
with a specific phone number,
341
00:16:31,233 --> 00:16:34,834
not only leading up to the
moments before his death,
342
00:16:34,867 --> 00:16:37,033
but on numerous
other occasions.
343
00:16:37,066 --> 00:16:40,066
When police followed up
with that number,
344
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,000
they were able to find
that it was actually
345
00:16:42,033 --> 00:16:45,500
a female co-worker
of George's.
346
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:47,000
[Stacy] George was
an attractive man
347
00:16:47,033 --> 00:16:49,867
who seems to have caught
the attention of women.
348
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,700
And the two most common
motives for murder
349
00:16:52,734 --> 00:16:54,734
are money and love.
350
00:16:55,767 --> 00:16:58,500
The police began
to kind of wonder,
351
00:16:58,533 --> 00:17:03,133
was this a situation where
jealousy of another person
352
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:05,367
has played a part
in George's death?
353
00:17:12,133 --> 00:17:14,333
[Dana]
We learned going through George's phone records
354
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,233
that he spoke with someone
355
00:17:16,266 --> 00:17:20,200
all the way up to 11:23 p.m.
that night of November 16th.
356
00:17:20,233 --> 00:17:22,500
That told us that he spoke
with her up until the time
357
00:17:22,533 --> 00:17:25,400
he was basically
pulling into his driveway.
358
00:17:25,433 --> 00:17:28,767
[Tony] Why was this woman
at 11 o'clock at night,
359
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,200
the last person to talk
to George Young,
360
00:17:31,233 --> 00:17:34,567
what did she know
and what was really going on?
361
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,533
[Dana] We were able
to track down the individual
362
00:17:37,567 --> 00:17:39,000
that used that phone number.
363
00:17:39,033 --> 00:17:42,433
Her name was Tricia, and she
was a co-worker of George's.
364
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:44,667
And so myself
and another investigator
365
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:47,233
traveled to her residence
immediately.
366
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:49,967
We sat down with Tricia
in her residence,
367
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,967
and she was noticeably upset
368
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,834
from the minute
we knocked on the door.
369
00:17:53,867 --> 00:17:55,867
It appeared she had been
crying pretty hard
370
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:57,700
since learning
of George's passing.
371
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:00,934
[officer speaking]
372
00:18:01,367 --> 00:18:03,300
[Tricia speaking]
373
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,467
[officer] Okay.
374
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,000
[officer speaking]
375
00:18:07,834 --> 00:18:09,166
- [Tricia speaking]
- [officer] Yeah.
376
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,200
[Tricia speaking]
377
00:18:11,333 --> 00:18:12,233
[officer] Okay.
378
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:14,500
We wanted to get
a statement from her
379
00:18:14,533 --> 00:18:16,300
as to what she remembered
from that night
380
00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:17,667
being on the phone
with George.
381
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:19,300
[officer speaking]
382
00:18:19,867 --> 00:18:21,200
[Tricia speaking]
383
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,033
We obtained the
video surveillance from the restaurant
384
00:18:33,066 --> 00:18:34,834
that George went
to that night.
385
00:18:34,867 --> 00:18:36,300
And there was nothing,
386
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:38,567
nothing that stuck out to us
as investigators
387
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,200
that would be a cause
for concern.
388
00:18:41,467 --> 00:18:44,867
Tricia was able to provide
some very valuable information
389
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:45,967
to law enforcement
390
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,433
about a completely
different facet
391
00:18:48,467 --> 00:18:50,367
of George
and Tia's relationship.
392
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:52,634
[Tricia speaking]
393
00:19:06,233 --> 00:19:07,133
[officer] Mmm-hmm.
394
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,333
And so that raised
some concerns for us,
395
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:15,967
because up until this point,
396
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,634
we thought that
they were a happy couple.
397
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:20,367
[Tricia speaking]
398
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,967
We learned that
Tia had grown distant,
399
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,500
and that George
was trying to fix that.
400
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:35,133
George was almost asking
for advice from Tricia
401
00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:36,800
to better his marriage.
402
00:19:36,834 --> 00:19:39,400
He would tell her
how he would try
403
00:19:39,433 --> 00:19:41,300
to get close
with Tia physically,
404
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:43,333
and that Tia would
push him away.
405
00:19:43,834 --> 00:19:45,166
[Tricia speaking]
406
00:19:52,467 --> 00:19:55,600
What was causing the problems
in this marriage?
407
00:19:55,634 --> 00:19:58,533
Maybe Tim,
who was jealous of George,
408
00:19:58,567 --> 00:20:02,200
wanted everything
his friend had, including Tia.
409
00:20:02,233 --> 00:20:03,900
And what about Tricia?
410
00:20:03,934 --> 00:20:06,834
She could be trying to comfort
George in his troubles.
411
00:20:07,767 --> 00:20:09,400
[officer speaking]
412
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,934
[Tricia speaking]
413
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,033
The more we spoke with Tricia,
414
00:20:22,066 --> 00:20:24,266
obviously we wanted
to figure out
415
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:26,400
if it was more
than just a friendship.
416
00:20:26,433 --> 00:20:28,367
[Willie] I know that
he was close to her.
417
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,300
She also was married.
418
00:20:30,333 --> 00:20:32,700
Now, outside looking in,
someone would probably say,
419
00:20:32,734 --> 00:20:34,834
"Oh, it could be a little
hanky-panky going on here."
420
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,567
[officer speaking]
421
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,734
- [Tricia speaking]
- [officer] Okay.
422
00:20:38,767 --> 00:20:40,066
[officer speaking]
423
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:41,200
[Tricia speaking]
424
00:20:41,233 --> 00:20:42,133
[officer] Okay.
425
00:20:43,133 --> 00:20:44,233
[female officer speaking]
426
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,166
[Tricia speaking]
427
00:20:53,133 --> 00:20:54,166
[officer speaking] Okay.
428
00:21:03,367 --> 00:21:04,700
[Tricia speaking]
429
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:11,533
[officer speaking]
430
00:21:14,133 --> 00:21:16,166
- [Tricia speaking]
- [officer] Okay.
431
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,166
Tia's turning to Tim,
and George leans on Tricia.
432
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,433
This is an explosive
combination.
433
00:21:23,467 --> 00:21:25,934
Resentment, attraction,
and jealousy.
434
00:21:26,734 --> 00:21:28,567
Who was involved with who?
435
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,634
And was someone angry enough
436
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:33,100
to violently disrupt
this foursome?
437
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:35,667
Tricia is very adamant
438
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,967
that there is no
romantic involvement,
439
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,533
no physical involvement,
440
00:21:39,567 --> 00:21:42,467
that basically
they're just simply friends.
441
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,433
[officer speaking]
442
00:21:46,133 --> 00:21:47,533
[Tricia speaking]
443
00:21:51,233 --> 00:21:54,400
We ultimately never uncovered
any evidence on phones
444
00:21:54,433 --> 00:21:55,600
or anything like that
445
00:21:55,634 --> 00:21:57,433
that would indicate that
it was more than a friendship.
446
00:21:58,367 --> 00:22:01,233
I didn't see anything
suspicious about it
447
00:22:01,266 --> 00:22:03,734
because I know that
that's not what George did.
448
00:22:03,767 --> 00:22:05,767
I stand on the character
449
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,567
that I know of the man,
George Young.
450
00:22:12,867 --> 00:22:17,233
[Tony] Back in 2017, I was the
bureau chief for WSB-TV,
451
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:19,300
covering Gwinnett County.
452
00:22:19,333 --> 00:22:21,533
We got word late
in the morning
453
00:22:21,567 --> 00:22:24,967
that Tia Young and her family
would like to talk.
454
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,767
It's the hardest thing
I've ever been through.
455
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,934
[Tony] George's wife, Tia,
456
00:22:27,967 --> 00:22:30,400
says she was asleep upstairs
around midnight
457
00:22:30,433 --> 00:22:34,066
when she heard two gunshots.
Her brother went outside.
458
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:35,433
And he said, "Just call 911."
459
00:22:35,467 --> 00:22:37,767
I said, "What is it?
Was somebody shot?"
460
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,567
He said, "Yes."
And I said, "Who?"
461
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,233
And he said, "George."
462
00:22:41,266 --> 00:22:43,634
Very emotional interview.
463
00:22:43,667 --> 00:22:47,567
Tia was bursting into tears
at several times,
464
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,133
talking about how kind
her husband was,
465
00:22:50,166 --> 00:22:53,867
how nobody had any ill will
towards her husband,
466
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:56,400
and how hard of a
worker he was.
467
00:22:56,433 --> 00:23:00,834
He was a really good guy.
Everybody loved George.
468
00:23:00,867 --> 00:23:03,066
They appeared to be
a family struggling
469
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,767
to come to grasp
with what was going on.
470
00:23:07,634 --> 00:23:10,200
The next day, we had brought
Tia and Tim in
471
00:23:10,233 --> 00:23:11,667
for a formal interview
472
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,700
at Gwinnett County
Police Headquarters
473
00:23:13,734 --> 00:23:15,767
to get a little bit more
information from them about
474
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,066
what had transpired that night
475
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,700
and what they think
may have happened to George.
476
00:23:19,734 --> 00:23:23,667
One thing police immediately
confronted the two about,
477
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,433
"Why are you
living in this house,
478
00:23:25,467 --> 00:23:27,266
calling each other
brother and sister,
479
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,700
when you're not
related at all?"
480
00:23:29,934 --> 00:23:33,166
[Stacy]
Police certainly have reason to question Tim and Tia
481
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,467
about what's going on
between them.
482
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,467
But it's not impossible that
people who grew up together
483
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:40,300
are now living in the
same household
484
00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:41,934
in a platonic relationship.
485
00:23:42,667 --> 00:23:44,467
[female officer speaking]
486
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,867
[female officer speaking]
487
00:23:50,567 --> 00:23:52,467
[female officer speaking]
488
00:23:53,634 --> 00:23:54,533
[female officer] Okay.
489
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:00,634
Tim and Tia said that
they were just so close,
490
00:24:00,667 --> 00:24:03,100
they insisted several times
to police,
491
00:24:03,133 --> 00:24:05,700
nothing was going on
between them.
492
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,900
[male officer speaking]
493
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,300
Then detectives confront Tim
about the neighbor
494
00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:18,867
who saw a man
basically crawling up
495
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:21,600
and fiddling under the truck
for some reason.
496
00:24:21,634 --> 00:24:24,934
That's when Tim admits,
"Yeah, that was me."
497
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:28,000
He says George
had confided in him
498
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:29,700
that he was worried
499
00:24:29,734 --> 00:24:31,767
that he may be in danger
in some way.
500
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,567
So with George's knowledge,
501
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,400
Tim had purchased
a GPS tracker
502
00:24:37,433 --> 00:24:40,667
and placed it under
George's back bumper.
503
00:24:41,367 --> 00:24:42,634
[male officer speaking]
504
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:46,100
[male officer speaking]
505
00:24:51,233 --> 00:24:52,166
[male officer] Mmm-hmm.
506
00:24:56,867 --> 00:24:58,500
So when detectives
asked him about
507
00:24:58,533 --> 00:25:02,066
why he would be concerned
about George's safety,
508
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:03,867
Tim drops a bombshell.
509
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,967
[male officer] Mmm-hmm.
510
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,734
So, uh...
511
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:20,533
And that's when Tim took
this long sigh and said,
512
00:25:20,567 --> 00:25:23,066
"Are you ready to hear
the real truth?"
513
00:25:23,834 --> 00:25:24,734
[whispers]
514
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:44,467
Tim told us that
George wasn't the George
515
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,934
that we had kind of grown
to know in the investigation.
516
00:25:49,266 --> 00:25:50,166
[bleep]
517
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:05,166
When we spoke with him
about why he was keeping
518
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,367
that a secret for him...
519
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,333
Tim essentially tells police
that he has kept these sort of secrets
520
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:36,500
from everyone
to maintain George's pristine reputation
521
00:26:36,533 --> 00:26:40,533
within the community,
to maintain his persona
522
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:43,166
within his family
and those that he knew.
523
00:27:01,967 --> 00:27:04,634
Of course, Tim's story
has the opposite effect
524
00:27:04,667 --> 00:27:06,133
of what he intended.
525
00:27:06,166 --> 00:27:07,934
Instead of convincing police
526
00:27:07,967 --> 00:27:09,734
to chase
the supposed gun runner,
527
00:27:09,767 --> 00:27:12,800
the story makes them
zero in on Tim himself.
528
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,333
[Dana] During
the initial investigation,
529
00:27:16,367 --> 00:27:18,533
we had obtained
a search warrant for the residence
530
00:27:18,567 --> 00:27:20,467
of Tia and Georgia.
531
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,634
And at that time,
we were able to retrieve
532
00:27:22,667 --> 00:27:26,333
a firearm from Tim's bedroom
and we also located
533
00:27:26,367 --> 00:27:28,700
a rifle inside of his truck.
534
00:27:28,734 --> 00:27:31,100
We were able to determine
that the shell casing
535
00:27:31,133 --> 00:27:33,834
that was located on scene
was shot from
536
00:27:33,867 --> 00:27:36,233
a Smith and Wesson
.40 caliber handgun.
537
00:27:36,266 --> 00:27:38,667
But there was no such gun
found in the residence.
538
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:42,066
And so we were
missing our murder weapon in this case.
539
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:44,000
But after learning about
the tracking device,
540
00:27:44,033 --> 00:27:45,600
we got a secondary
search warrant
541
00:27:45,634 --> 00:27:46,967
to go back into the house.
542
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,767
[Tony] They found
that tracking device
543
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,800
hidden in one of
the bedrooms.
544
00:27:52,834 --> 00:27:55,266
They also found
both the cell phones
545
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:58,433
of Tim Lee and Tia Young.
546
00:27:59,634 --> 00:28:03,166
The police began expanding
their investigation.
547
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,367
And that included
talking to co-workers of George Young,
548
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,367
which also happened to be
co-workers of Tim Lee in many cases.
549
00:28:11,867 --> 00:28:14,367
[Sabrina] The police learned
that the next day
550
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,333
after the murder,
Tim actually shows up
551
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:20,133
at the security company
where George worked.
552
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:23,467
He begins to speak with
several different co-workers.
553
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,967
[Willie] Within eight hours
of George's death,
554
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,867
he was the guy who
proceeded to tell me that George was murdered.
555
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:32,333
That's how I found out.
556
00:28:32,367 --> 00:28:35,634
So he went on to tell me
the sequence of the events.
557
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:38,300
He said he tried to render
first aid to him
558
00:28:38,333 --> 00:28:40,634
and that he didn't make it.
559
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:43,634
[Sabrina] What's odd is
that Tim is still wearing
560
00:28:43,667 --> 00:28:46,734
the exact same clothing
that he had on the day before
561
00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:49,900
and has no blood
on the clothing whatsoever,
562
00:28:49,934 --> 00:28:51,834
even after telling
the co-workers
563
00:28:51,867 --> 00:28:55,700
that he had done CPR
and that there was blood all over the scene.
564
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:58,200
[Dana] The co-workers
found that strange.
565
00:28:58,233 --> 00:29:00,867
And not only that,
he's already trying to
566
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:04,100
go and take jobs from George.
567
00:29:04,133 --> 00:29:07,900
[Willie] Tim said,
"I wanted to know if I could still be working here."
568
00:29:07,934 --> 00:29:10,100
So I told him, well,
listen, man, this ain't the right time
569
00:29:10,133 --> 00:29:12,567
for me to have
that discussion.
570
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,967
[Dana] Tim was asking
about stepping in for George
571
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,667
which we just thought
was way too soon.
572
00:29:20,867 --> 00:29:24,767
An autopsy was performed
by the medical examiner's office on the body
573
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,100
of George Young.
574
00:29:26,133 --> 00:29:29,867
The autopsy revealed that
George had in fact been shot twice,
575
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,100
but what it also revealed
576
00:29:32,133 --> 00:29:35,734
was that contrary
to what Tim had said,
577
00:29:35,767 --> 00:29:41,000
that there was no indication
that CPR had been performed on George Young.
578
00:29:44,533 --> 00:29:47,233
[Rob] After the murder,
I was trying to spend
579
00:29:47,266 --> 00:29:49,700
as much time as I could
at the house with Tia
580
00:29:49,734 --> 00:29:52,433
supporting the family
and being there for the boys.
581
00:29:52,467 --> 00:29:55,066
And she said,
"Before you go,
582
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:58,400
can you please come upstairs
and help me find
583
00:29:58,433 --> 00:30:00,400
the life insurance policy?"
584
00:30:00,433 --> 00:30:02,734
It was weird to me,
out of all the things
585
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:04,500
that could be
going through her head,
586
00:30:04,533 --> 00:30:07,367
that she wants me
to go upstairs and try to find
587
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,333
a life insurance policy.
588
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:12,100
So there we are, digging,
589
00:30:12,133 --> 00:30:16,400
and it appeared like
she knew exactly where to find it.
590
00:30:17,834 --> 00:30:20,133
So then she calls
and then she starts
591
00:30:20,166 --> 00:30:24,400
asking about the policy
and she was stating,
592
00:30:24,433 --> 00:30:27,634
"Oh, it's that much?
How fast can I get it?"
593
00:30:28,734 --> 00:30:31,300
[Tony] Turns out
this life insurance
594
00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:34,433
was a whopping
one million dollars
595
00:30:34,467 --> 00:30:37,533
and that Tia was
the sole beneficiary of this.
596
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400
[Rob] Tia seemed
a bit giddy and said,
597
00:30:42,433 --> 00:30:45,900
"When this money comes in,
it's gonna change everything."
598
00:30:48,266 --> 00:30:50,900
[Stacy] A million dollars
is a lot of money for anyone.
599
00:30:50,934 --> 00:30:54,734
The question is,
did Tim know in advance about the policy?
600
00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:59,266
And was he the one
who convinced Tia that they should try to cash it?
601
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,000
[Dana] We were ultimately
able to get a search warrant
602
00:31:05,033 --> 00:31:08,300
on Tim and Tia's phones
and get a forensic download done.
603
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:12,867
Cellphones can provide
a mirror to our hearts.
604
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:15,834
In this case, they certainly
have the potential
605
00:31:15,867 --> 00:31:18,100
to reveal the secrets
that are hidden
606
00:31:18,133 --> 00:31:20,033
in this seemingly happy home.
607
00:31:27,066 --> 00:31:29,834
When the forensic examination
of their phones
608
00:31:29,867 --> 00:31:31,667
come back to detectives,
609
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:36,133
the detectives confirm
what they had always suspected
610
00:31:36,166 --> 00:31:38,600
about the relationship between
Tia and Tim.
611
00:31:39,934 --> 00:31:42,734
We quickly were able to
determine that
612
00:31:42,767 --> 00:31:45,266
everything they told us
up until this point was a lie.
613
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,367
That they were in an intimate,
sexual relationship.
614
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,266
It was clear as night and day
that there was an affair going on.
615
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,634
They were talking about
their intimacy
616
00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:55,667
and what they're gonna
do to each other and all of that.
617
00:31:56,533 --> 00:31:58,133
[Dana] They tried to
cover their tracks.
618
00:31:58,166 --> 00:31:59,800
They had tried to
delete their messages,
619
00:31:59,834 --> 00:32:02,967
but we spent hours
going back until we found
620
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,867
that they, in fact, had been
in a sexual relationship for quite some time.
621
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:11,567
[Tony] Investigators suspect
that Tim was partially trying to track his friend.
622
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,734
So Tim and Tia
would be surprised at home
623
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:19,300
when they're off having
their secret affair.
624
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:24,233
But looking back on it,
friends noticed some suspicious things going on.
625
00:32:24,266 --> 00:32:26,967
The sons,
friends who'd come over
626
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,033
talked about many times
seeing Tia
627
00:32:29,066 --> 00:32:32,166
in Tim's bedroom
with the door shut.
628
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,200
[Stacy] You can see
how this happened.
629
00:32:34,233 --> 00:32:36,867
Tia resented George
for always being away.
630
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:41,567
She could've seduced Tim
so he would help her escape her marriage.
631
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,100
Or Tim, who had envied
his best friend's perfect life
632
00:32:45,133 --> 00:32:48,367
could've seduced Tia
to get back at George.
633
00:32:49,533 --> 00:32:52,266
[Sabrina] On Tia's phone,
the police actually find
634
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:56,233
a meme of a fortune teller
who is telling a woman
635
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:58,934
that your husband will meet
a violent death.
636
00:32:58,967 --> 00:33:02,100
And the woman's response
in the meme is,
637
00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:03,767
"Will I get convicted?"
638
00:33:04,767 --> 00:33:08,133
That indicated that she knew
what was gonna happen.
639
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:11,900
And so, that's something
that we found very alarming.
640
00:33:13,033 --> 00:33:14,934
After locating
all of this evidence
641
00:33:14,967 --> 00:33:18,367
on Tim and Tia's phone,
we knew we needed to bring them back in
642
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,900
and sit down with
both of them again.
643
00:33:19,934 --> 00:33:22,433
If you can talk to Tim
and I'll be back with you, okay?
644
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:23,533
Sure.
645
00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:24,867
[Dana] We had
a long conversation
646
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:28,300
with Tia that day
in regards to, kind of, everything.
647
00:33:28,333 --> 00:33:29,967
And towards the end
of that conversation,
648
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,667
we wanted to also
confront her
649
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:35,000
with evidence we found
in regards to her and Tim's relationship.
650
00:33:35,033 --> 00:33:36,567
[detective speaking]
651
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,900
[Dana] We actually, physically
had printed off the emails
652
00:33:47,934 --> 00:33:49,734
and just put them
in front of Tia
653
00:33:49,767 --> 00:33:52,967
and let her read her own
sexually explicit email that she had sent
654
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,367
and she then finally
admitted it to us.
655
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,800
[Dana] But she still claims
it had nothing to do with the murder.
656
00:34:12,834 --> 00:34:15,634
That's not the reason
that George died.
657
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:18,367
When we sat down with Tim,
we confronted him
658
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,233
with the evidence
of the emails
659
00:34:20,266 --> 00:34:22,367
that we had uncovered
in his phone,
660
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,066
specifically in regards to
him and Tia's relationship.
661
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,433
[Tony] At that point,
Tim Lee immediately
662
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:31,567
asked for a lawyer
and refused to talk anymore.
663
00:34:41,634 --> 00:34:43,367
He didn't have a way
of getting out of this one.
664
00:34:50,734 --> 00:34:56,600
[Sabrina] In April of 2018,
both Tia and Tim are arrested,
665
00:34:56,634 --> 00:34:59,667
each charged
with malice murder,
666
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:03,033
felony murder
and aggravated assault.
667
00:35:03,066 --> 00:35:06,767
Both Tia and Tim
enter pleas of not guilty
668
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,133
and a judge denies
both of them, bond.
669
00:35:10,166 --> 00:35:12,600
[Stacy] Police have the proof
that the two were lovers.
670
00:35:12,634 --> 00:35:15,066
But an affair doesn't
always lead to murder.
671
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:17,834
Who came up with the idea
672
00:35:17,867 --> 00:35:20,800
to get rid of the other member
of their love triangle?
673
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:25,500
[Dana] Tim and Tia's trial
began in March of 2019
674
00:35:25,533 --> 00:35:28,066
and we as investigators
675
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:29,867
as well as
the district attorney's office
676
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:31,867
asked ourselves
prior to the trial,
677
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:34,867
how did this happen?
Why did this happen to George?
678
00:35:36,033 --> 00:35:40,033
[Rob] Tia definitely started
feeling a little disenchanted
679
00:35:40,066 --> 00:35:43,066
in the marriage
and when Tim showed up,
680
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,667
she figured this would be
her best opportunity
681
00:35:45,700 --> 00:35:47,200
to get out of the marriage.
682
00:35:47,233 --> 00:35:49,967
[Dana] I think that Tia
took advantage of Tim,
683
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,667
that he was willing to
do whatever she wanted
684
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:54,867
and I think that
she absolutely
685
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:56,834
convinced him
to pull the trigger
686
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:58,333
and killer her husband George.
687
00:35:58,367 --> 00:36:01,333
She knew George had
that million dollar life insurance policy.
688
00:36:01,367 --> 00:36:03,634
And she also knew that
she had feelings for Tim.
689
00:36:03,667 --> 00:36:05,934
And she started to
talk to Tim
690
00:36:05,967 --> 00:36:09,066
about possibilities
and give him false promises
691
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,367
of basically him
becoming George.
692
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:16,133
[Rob] I've had a pretty decent
relationship with Tia
693
00:36:16,166 --> 00:36:19,100
to know what kind of person
that she is.
694
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:21,100
But I knew her enough
to tell you
695
00:36:21,133 --> 00:36:25,266
that Tim was not bright enough
to put this thing together.
696
00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:28,500
Tia's definitely responsible
for putting this whole thing together.
697
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:34,834
[Sabrina] At trial,
one of Tia and George's sons
698
00:36:34,867 --> 00:36:37,934
testified that he had
in the past,
699
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:41,367
had taken some sleeping aids
to help him sleep.
700
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
On the night of November 16th,
he was, in fact,
701
00:36:44,634 --> 00:36:46,934
given that
sleeping medication.
702
00:36:46,967 --> 00:36:50,634
And so, that explained to me
as an investigator as to
703
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:53,400
why those kids were so
peacefully sleeping upstairs
704
00:36:53,433 --> 00:36:54,900
and sleeping
through the sirens
705
00:36:54,934 --> 00:36:56,367
and sleeping through
all the commotion
706
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,734
that was happening downstairs.
707
00:36:58,467 --> 00:37:00,066
As a mother,
you would hope that it's
708
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:02,767
maybe because
she didn't want her children to be traumatized.
709
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,567
But I feel in my heart that
it was more so that
710
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,400
she didn't want her children
to jeopardize the plan that she had in place.
711
00:37:13,133 --> 00:37:16,734
We'll never really know
what exactly happened that night,
712
00:37:16,767 --> 00:37:18,967
but with the evidence
and the testimony,
713
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,467
we're able to, kind of,
piece together
714
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:23,600
a pretty good timeline
of the events that occurred.
715
00:37:23,634 --> 00:37:27,634
[Sabrina] The state felt that
Tim was sitting there
716
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:31,734
at the table and he was
very closely monitoring
717
00:37:31,767 --> 00:37:35,233
the movements of George Young
as he was traveling home.
718
00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:38,433
He was watching the tracker
and he was able to determine
719
00:37:38,467 --> 00:37:41,600
the exact time that
George would arrive home.
720
00:37:42,834 --> 00:37:45,266
He essentially waited
for George to come up
721
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,767
to the door
and ambushed George
722
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,066
by shooting him two times.
723
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,133
[Dana] At that point,
Tim then probably
724
00:37:52,166 --> 00:37:53,900
tried to find
both shell casings
725
00:37:53,934 --> 00:37:56,734
knowing that there were two,
but could only find one.
726
00:37:56,767 --> 00:37:58,467
The shell casing that
we actually located
727
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,433
was tucked in the stairway
groove a little bit,
728
00:38:00,467 --> 00:38:02,133
so he probably
did not see that.
729
00:38:02,166 --> 00:38:03,467
But he knew
he didn't have time,
730
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:05,634
so, he then
stepped over George,
731
00:38:05,667 --> 00:38:07,300
went and retrieved
that tracker
732
00:38:07,333 --> 00:38:09,834
from George's car
and then began to
733
00:38:09,867 --> 00:38:12,834
try to clean up the evidence
the best he could before police arrival.
734
00:38:14,233 --> 00:38:17,100
[Tony] Police realized
there was a ten minute gap
735
00:38:17,133 --> 00:38:20,500
between the shots being fired
and the 911 call.
736
00:38:21,634 --> 00:38:23,867
[Dana] I imagine that
they were finding a place
737
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:26,533
to put the murder weapon,
getting rid of that evidence,
738
00:38:26,567 --> 00:38:29,266
but also making sure
that they were
739
00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:31,166
getting their story straight
the best they could
740
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,333
before they actually dialed
that 911 call.
741
00:38:34,367 --> 00:38:36,967
The murder weapon
has never been found to this day.
742
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,533
I think that Tim took
that murder weapon
743
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:42,133
and disposed of it somewhere
in their backyard area.
744
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:51,266
In April of 2019,
after a two week joint trial,
745
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:55,066
Tia Young is found guilty
of felony murder,
746
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:59,800
aggravated assault
and two counts of criminal attempt
747
00:38:59,834 --> 00:39:01,634
to tamper with evidence.
748
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:05,367
But she is found not guilty
of one count of malice murder.
749
00:39:06,367 --> 00:39:11,734
On April 15th of 2019,
Tia Young is sentenced
750
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:15,667
to life in prison with
the possibility of parole.
751
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:20,400
She will be eligible
for parole in 2049,
752
00:39:20,433 --> 00:39:23,433
at the age of 73.
753
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:27,300
Harvey Timothy Lee
is convicted of malice murder,
754
00:39:27,333 --> 00:39:31,233
felony murder
and aggravated assault.
755
00:39:31,266 --> 00:39:36,834
Tim is sentenced to life
without the possibility of parole
756
00:39:36,867 --> 00:39:41,433
and he will spend
the rest of his life in prison.
757
00:39:41,467 --> 00:39:47,000
Throughout the whole trial,
this guy didn't have no remorse.
758
00:39:48,033 --> 00:39:52,300
He showed zero,
and I mean zero empathy
759
00:39:52,333 --> 00:39:54,333
at all, not an ounce.
760
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:56,734
Tia had no remorse.
761
00:39:56,767 --> 00:39:59,166
No facial expression,
no nothing.
762
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,533
She didn't even look sad.
763
00:40:01,634 --> 00:40:04,367
It's a lot of mixed emotions
at the time,
764
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,934
but one thing is clear.
765
00:40:05,967 --> 00:40:08,834
George wasn't gonna
walk in that court room.
766
00:40:08,867 --> 00:40:11,066
George wasn't gonna
show up somewhere.
767
00:40:11,567 --> 00:40:13,000
He was not coming back.
768
00:40:16,967 --> 00:40:19,867
A little short time
after the murder,
769
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,233
George's sisters had
approached me and said,
770
00:40:22,266 --> 00:40:24,567
we should really try to
do something
771
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,867
in memory of George
772
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:29,934
and so we created the George
F Young III Foundation.
773
00:40:29,967 --> 00:40:33,500
This foundation help children
who are victims of
774
00:40:33,533 --> 00:40:37,266
parents or family members
who'd been murdered.
775
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,100
[Tony] George was betrayed,
and not just by a good friend,
776
00:40:41,133 --> 00:40:42,567
but betrayed
by his own spouse.
777
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,433
[Sabrina] Seduction
can be overpowering
778
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:51,500
and I think that
that was the tool that Tia used
779
00:40:51,533 --> 00:40:53,233
in order to get Tim
780
00:40:53,266 --> 00:40:55,934
to assassinate
his best friend.
781
00:40:55,967 --> 00:40:58,600
[Rob] The people who you love
can betray you
782
00:40:58,634 --> 00:41:02,467
and the people that you trust
can come back and hurt you.
783
00:41:03,467 --> 00:41:05,834
I will continue
to share this story
784
00:41:05,867 --> 00:41:09,166
about George Young
until the day I die.
785
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,567
I miss you, brother.
786
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,667
Love you.
787
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:13,467
There's not a day
that goes by
788
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:14,600
that I don't think about you.
789
00:41:20,166 --> 00:41:22,767
The firefighters found the
remains of a body.
790
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,533
What would be the motive for
this? Could it be revenge?
791
00:41:27,467 --> 00:41:30,133
MAN: There were Polaroid
pictures of young teenage girls.
792
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:33,433
WOMAN: Maybe this is something
a lot more personal.
793
00:41:33,467 --> 00:41:35,900
Jason was going to protect her.
