[Narrator] When a beloved
new england woman is murdered,

a young man decides
to go undercover

to snare the killer.

[Audio recording]

[Narrator] But is this
an elaborate deception

to throw detectives
off his trail?

[Audio recording]

[Narrator] In this dangerous
game of cat and mouse,

who is predator,
and who is prey?

[Audio recording]

Jim, this is detective
sergeant... with the... Case.

[Narrator] Undercover work

is some of the riskiest
in law enforcement.

[Detective] ’kay,
she’s out of the car.

Okay, good deal,
good deal, good deal.

[Narrator] One wrong move...

[Police sirens]

[Narrator] ...Can cost a life.

[Officer] Police! Don’t move!

[Narrator] In rare situations,

everyday people go
undercover in search of the truth.

They’re willing to risk it all.

Even taking down
friends and family.

This isn’t the movies, I
had to actually do this.

[Narrator] Doing the right thing

has never been so dangerous.

Norton is a very small,
tight-knit community.

It’s about 30 miles
south of Boston.

So, norton’s basically
like a bedroom community

to Boston and Providence,

and have about 19,000
people that live in town.

It’s a good school system.

We have, uh, wheaton
college, a small college.

It’s a blue collar, uh,
working class town,

uh, a lot of middle
class families,

a lot of families in general.

Yeah, it was a fantastic
place to grow up.

[Rock music playing]

I was only 19, 20 years old.

I was still trying to figure
out what I wanted to do

with my career,
my life, everything.

I played the keyboards.

I had some experience through
other bands that I was working with,

and had a good amount of
live stage experience with that,

so by the time it came
to do my own project,

I wanted to have
complete creative control.

I started a solo project called
"ekm" or "electronic kill machine".

I recorded my first album,
which was doing fairly well

and actually starting to sell,

and I decided that I
needed to incorporate

more live musicians as to
opposed to just myself on stage.

I did hear some of the music,

and it was, like, thrash
metal, you might describe it as

or definitely heavy
metal, fast-paced,

they didn’t play ballads.

[Jim] I decided to kinda
recruit some of my closer friends

that I knew I could trust.

[Narrator] Fresh
out of high school,

Jim first turns to his
best friend, Jason Weir,

a skilled base player he’s
known since childhood.

He quickly said
to me, he’s like,

"I wanna try and learn drums,"

i’m like, "all right." [Laughs]

"All right, let’s do it, man."

[Laughing]

To my surprise, he
was actually quite good,

and he could read
music appropriately,

and he could do what
I needed him to do,

and so I said, "okay,
well, this will work."

[Narrator] The band
already has a guitarist,

but Jason suggests they
bring in Anthony calabro,

a former classmate.

While Anthony doesn’t
play any instruments,

he has a great
head for business,

and can set up
gigs for the band.

He had no experience
managing anything.

I was looking for a guy
that could handle more

of the logistics of
setting things up.

He seemed more
than willing to do that,

so, it kinda worked out.

[Narrator] Next
up is Thomas lally,

another former classmate.

[Jim] Tom knew
Anthony and Jason,

and he kinda brought
both of them into my life

and into our
mutual friend circle.

So, he’s like, "okay, well, if
there’s any sort of need for security,"

which there wasn’t... [Chuckles]

we’d have him involved.

He’d get in line with promoters,

get in line with,
uh, club owners,

make sure things were set up.

Typical American
teens, you know,

they’re in to playing
music, uh, listening to music,

you know, partying and
hanging around with friends,

just like, uh...

Who doesn’t like music?

Well, all four Norton
boys went to Norton high.

It’s a small town,
everybody knows everybody.

Everybody gets along
with each other there.

Jason was the one I was the
closest with out of all of the three.

Jason is a couple
years younger than I am,

and his personality was
a little bit more outgoing.

He was a little bit more
willing to put himself out there,

but always in a
fairly respectful way.

Anthony seemed a little
bit more on the drier side.

He was very much
right to business.

He was tall, he always
had his hair in a ponytail.

He used to wear
a black trench coat.

Thomas lally was kind
of a big kid at the time,

a kind of bully.

[Jim] Tom was a big guy,

however, his looks were more
intimidating than he actually was.

Uh, Tom was actually
kind of a big softy,

he was a big
Teddy bear of a guy,

uh, he’d literally give you the
shirt off his back if he could.

[Narrator] Jim and the
band are primed for success

with Jason on drums,

Anthony managing the business,

and Tom providing security.

And though their thrash metal
music is raw and aggressive,

the kids have no history
causing any trouble with the law.

They weren’t known
as troublemakers.

[Narrator] Anthony does
have trouble at home, though.

After one too many
fights with his parents,

his great aunt, Marina
calabro, takes him in.

Not only does she
cook and clean for him,

but soon enough, Jason and Thomas
are also hanging out at the house.

[Keenan] Marina calabro
was a lovely woman.

She was well respected by her
community and by the neighbors.

She took pride in her property.

Marina calabro’s house
was in a nice neighborhood

up on hospital hill
section of Quincy.

[Linton] She was unmarried,
took care of her younger siblings,

and took care of her mother
as her mother grew old

until her mother passed away.

She took in Anthony,

and then his friends
moved into the house.

She would cook for
them, support the band,

gave them money,
and, by all accounts,

she treated
Anthony like her son.

[Narrator] With
marina’s guiding hand,

Anthony seems to be
getting his life back on track.

Then tragedy strikes.

[Phone ringing]

[Dispatch officer]

[Keenan] December 19th, 2001,

the Quincy police received a
phone call just before midnight

that a woman had passed away.

Anthony was looking
for his great aunt, Marina,

and he called downstairs
to see if his grandmother,

Anne-Marie, knew where
she was. She did not.

He then called his father
at his home in Plymouth,

and see if he knew
where Marina was,

but he also did not,
he suggested that they

check the stairs, and
check the hallway.

At that point, he had
gone down the stairs

and found her at the
bottom of the stairs.

She was cold, so Anthony
calabro then called 911.

[Phone ringing]

She was at the bottom of the
stairs in like a landing or a platform.

It appeared that she
had fallen down the steps

attempting to put out the trash.

There was a trash bag that was
located next to her deceased body.

I responded along with
members of the state police,

crime scene services
unit, and, uh, detective unit

out of the Norfolk county
district attorney’s office.

They photographed the
scene, they viewed the body,

they wrapped the
woman’s hands in plastic

to preserve fingerprints
or any kind of evidence

that would be found
underneath the fingernails.

They brought her to the
chief medical examiner’s office

for an autopsy.

They determined that
she had taken a fall,

it was a result of the fall,
it was what he determined

was a broken neck that
had caused her, uh, death.

It was just a sad, tragic
thing for everyone involved.

[Clark] A young kid
freshly out of high school

came in on a Sunday
evening on October 13th, 2002,

where he was greeted
by the desk officer.

When he came in, he reported
that he had information about a crime.

And I just walked up,
banged on the glass,

i’m like, "I guess I
have a murder to report."

Well, it’s certainly
very unusual, you know,

certainly in a bedroom
community, it doesn’t really happen.

Especially involving
three Norton kids.

The front desk lady, she’s like,

"all right, just
fill out this form."

Jim morel was in his late teens,

nice young kid.

[Clark] We get him out of
the lobby into a private location

that we can talk to
with no interruptions,

so, we have an interview room outside
of detectives that we brought him into.

He received information
about a murder.

He wasn’t there, he
just wanted to get it off,

and do the right
thing, and report it.

[Jim] It was a Sunday, and, uh,

Jason and myself decided to
go out and just grab some dinner,

and that’s when Jay dropped
everything on me, and he says,

"there’s something
you gotta know, man,

Marina didn’t exactly
die on her own."

[Narrator] When
Marina calabro dies,

she leaves all of her
money and her home

to two heirs.

[Keenan] Her estate was
to be split by her nephew,

David calabro, and his
son, Anthony calabro.

They wound up splitting the
finances that were in the bank account,

I think that was over $200,000.

And then they split the sale of the
home, which was over $500,000.

So it was to be an equal split
according to the will between those two.

The word got around

that he had a substantial amount
of money due to, you know, the will.

But the thing with Anthony is
he always seemed to have cash.

Even when Marina was alive,

like, he had new cars, he
always had money for things.

He always had, like, nice clothes.
He was very well taken care of.

I don’t think I really noticed
right away, any difference in cash.

After anthony’s aunt died, it was
kinda weird seein’ him drive a corvette.

Somethin’ flashy, like that.

I mean, it makes sense. His aunt passed
away, and he inherited some money.

You know, if I inherited quite a bit a sum
of money even when I was a 16-yeard-old kid,

I might have bought
a nice corvette, myself.

But he also splurged
on his friends.

He bought thousands of
dollars of equipment for the band.

He, you know, spent
his money freely.

[Narrator] When Jim
walks into the police station,

he says his day started
ordinarily enough.

Jason and myself
went to a restaurant,

and we were just sitting
down, ordering our meal.

Kinda just talking about things for the
band, and just how we wanted to move forward.

And, um, that’s when Jay
dropped everything on me,

he says, "there’s somethin’
you gotta know, man."

Marina didn’t exactly
die on her own.

I didn’t really understand
exactly what that meant.

But I started thinking, okay, was she on
some sorta drugs, what exactly happened?

Because my understanding

was that she fell down the
stairs, and that’s how she passed.

Finally, Jay told me the basics
of his story of what happened.

[Narrator] Jason reveals that
Marina didn’t fall down the stairs.

She was placed there.

Marina had been killed
in her kitchen by Tom lally.

[Jim] The first
thing that I thought

was this has gotta
be some kind a joke.

There’s absolutely no way
they did somethin’ like this,

and for whatever reason,
Jay is messing with me.

I’m thinking, "is this real?
Is he screwing with me?"

[Narrator] Jason assures him
that not only did he see it happen,

Anthony calabro, marina’s
nephew, was also a witness.

[Jim] They kinda
felt bad for me,

because it’d be just
a messed up situation

just to walk in a room,
and see that happening.

And then just not
knowing what to do.

I don’t know, honestly, I felt
bad, and I was afraid for him.

After thinking for a couple hours,
I finally decide I can’t live with this.

If you know somethin’ like
that, you got two options.

You can either live with
it for the rest of your life,

you can know that secret, and
you can take it to your grave.

But that’s gonna do something to you,
that’s gonna change you as a core person.

And I know this because I kept
that secret for about three hours.

And what it did for me for three
hours was it really ate at me.

I went to the police, and
that’s when it all began.

[Tatz] James morel walked
into the Norton police station,

and said he wanted to report a murder, and
the murder was in Quincy, Massachusetts.

[Clark] One of the
first things we do

is reach out to Quincy, and
say, "hey, did this occur?"

And Quincy did say that Marina did
pass away, fell down a set of stairs.

[Keenan] When we first encounter
Jim, he looked very nervous.

He was a young kid that had
a tall tale, and a big story to tell.

[Jim] I thought I was
gonna fill out a paper thing,

and then just go
home that night,

and be, like, "okay
well, I did my part."

Little did I know.

[Keenan] Morel
described the night,

and what Weir had told
him, in kinda generalities.

He didn’t have specifics as to how
it happened, and when it happened,

or murder weapons, or how
the actual homicide took place.

[Narrator] Police find jim’s story
to be suspiciously short on details.

[Jim] I’m like, here’s my
story, here’s what happened.

I just found out about this.

Go interrogate him, go talk to him,
he’ll probably tell you what happened.

But they were tryin’ to
get more and more details

out of me that I
just did not have.

Normally, when someone comes
in to report something like that,

you want to make
sure, initially,

that you checked their veracity,
make sure that they’re truthful.

Ten months had passed, I don’t
know what I was doin’ that day,

I don’t know what was goin’ on.

The conversation was
shifting and changing.

And I could feel that, like, "okay,
this guy’s kind of interrogating me."

They don’t believe
that i’m telling the truth.

This guy thinks that i’m just
trying to save my own ass.

[Tatz] Maybe he was gonna
to confess to something,

and put the blame
on someone else.

[Jim] And that’s when the
tone started to kinda changing,

"well, you must have had
some sort of involvement in this.

This sorta thing would have never
happened without you knowing."

And i’m like, "well, now you’re
kinda putting words in my mouth here.

And you don’t know me
from a hole in the wall, man."

[Keenan] I think he
was a little bit nervous

that we may have thought he
had some involvement in the case.

[Jim] Then the detective, he’s like, "I
don’t know what it is about sundays,

but for whatever reason, people
always confess on sundays."

I told them, "well, you
can’t accuse me of this,

like, i’m tryin’ to
help you guys out."

[Tatz] Jim was probably thinking
that, "what the hell? What did I do?

What did I get myself in?" You know, "now
they’re gonna charge me with something?

[Jim] Well, I had to
immediately clear my name.

That was my main concern.

Finally, I said, "look, I can literally
just wear a wire, go to his house right now.

And you can hear that I just
found out about this last night.

I don’t want you to think that
I had anything to do with this."

To my surprise, they’re like,
"all right, fine, we’ll do that."

And i’m like, "all right."

[Tatz] I think that may
have surprised the police.

That someone they’re
interviewing on a murder

is gonna volunteer to wear a wire,
and get the real killer to confess.

[Keenan] We thought
that it was a good idea,

so we wrote a search warrant to do the
wire interception, and we went from there.

I was young and stupid.

It was so stupid of
me not to get a lawyer.

I’m tryin’ to clear my conscious,
now I gotta clear my name.

[Keenan] It took us a couple a days, to
get an operation like that up and running.

Getting the
equipment altogether,

and then to make sure that
morel was good on board with it.

I convinced the police
officers that if I wore a wire,

you’d hear first hand that I had
just found out about this information,

and I had nothing to do with this
murder, and that was my main goal.

They set up this
wireless microphone thing.

I remember it was about
the size of a deck a cards.

With a thin wire that
runs up your shirt,

and right to your sternum,
it’s kinda taped down.

That’s when this
became very real,

and I realized this isn’t the
movies, I have to actually do this.

How do I do this?
What am I gonna say?

Am I gonna screw this up completely?
What’s gonna happen if he finds out?

Is there gonna be some
sort of physical altercation?

[Narrator] Jim
morel is stressed.

He’s about to have the most
consequential conversation of his life.

And detective Paul Keenan
is listening to his every word.

We were in a car behind, and
following him with another trooper.

We were recording
the information

in a recording device in
the backseat of the car.

We were actually listening
live time to the conversation.

We had visual on
them the entire time,

but we could not communicate with either
one of them, especially with Jim morel.

So it was a one
way conversation.

There was no safe word,
there was no, like, "get out now."

It’s not the movies, you know.

[Jim] Jason picks me up from my
house after i’ve already been wired up.

He said he needed to
pick up drummer gloves,

and I said, "yeah,
sure, let’s go out."

Immediately i’m thinking,

"okay, let’s just get this
done, let’s get this over with."

I’m probably sweating profusely,
who knows what I look like.

Uh, Jay doesn’t seem to notice.

I remember saying to him, "a couple days
ago, you told me something very disturbing."

I still had the idea that maybe this
was all still some sort of just sick joke.

Maybe he was
just pulling my leg.

You have to understand, this guy
was still a very close friend of mine.

I cared deeply for this guy.

[Narrator] Jason
starts to give details

on the nefarious
plot to kill Marina.

It all begins on the afternoon
of December 19th, 2001.

Thomas lally, Anthony
calabro, and Jason Weir

are hanging out in marina’s
kitchen, as they often do.

But this day is
anything but typical.

And for Marina, it
will be her last day.

[Narrator] That’s when
Anthony, or ant, exits the room.

Leaving Jason to
witness what comes next.

Jason talked about the murder
and told him that Tom lally

whacked Marina over
the head with a frying pan

while they were in
the apartment together.

And that Anthony was
outside as the lookout.

I did not expect that.

[Linton] I can’t imagine
having that conversation.

That takes some...
That takes some guts.

[Narrator] Jim now has,
on-tape, the story of how

Marina calabro was killed
in cold blood by Tom lally.

It was a kind of a hard
pill to swallow, um...

Cause...

I didn’t think they’d be
capable of something like that.

[Linton] They drove
around for quite a bit.

With the police in
surveillance, listening in.

[Jim] It’s like, all right,
i’m done. I did my part.

And I don’t need to do any more.

All that i’m concerned with at
this point is just clearing my name.

That’s all I wanted to do.

So I didn’t want to
go above and beyond.

I didn’t want to dig
this guy’s grave.

This guy was still a really
good friend of mine, you know?

[Keenan] We need a little bit more.
We needed the murder weapons.

The murder weapon’s always key,
because that ties everything together.

[Jim] We decide to do
what we were planning to do,

which was to, uh, get
some drummer gloves.

We get to the store,
and jay’s going through

and he’s looking at all the different
gloves that they offer for drummers.

This guy comes
from around a corner,

a man who i’d never seen before.

And as he was walking
past me, he just said...

keep him talkin’.

Can we get into
it a little bit more?

[Jim] The whole conversation
lasted no more than six seconds.

He never looked me in the eye, and
walked by as if it had never happened.

I remember being really shocked.

Nobody told me there would be
an undercover officer waiting there,

that was gonna come up and
try to communicate with me,

while I was wearing
a wire in the middle

of this whole thing,
and then just disappear.

We get back in the truck.

[Truck starting]

And i’m thinking about what
that undercover officer said to me.

I thought to myself, one of
two things is gonna happen.

He’s going to believe me, and
we’re just gonna talk more about this,

or, he’s gonna figure out
what i’m doing immediately.

And it’s gonna...
It’s gonna end bad.

Safety for him was one of our
key thoughts and considerations,

because when things go bad if...
if they go bad quickly sometimes,

and if he was discovered
to have had the wire...

We didn’t know him that well,
how he would have reacted.

To my surprise,
he opens up again.

We’re driving and all of a
sudden, Jay gets a phone call.

[Phone ringing]

He’s yelling...

[Jim] ...There seems to be some sort
of yelling match going back and forth.

I have no idea who it is,
what the conversation’s about.

He hangs up and says,
"dude, we gotta make a pit stop."

[Narrator] Had someone called to warn
Jason that Jim was working with the police?

Maybe someone had seen him and
the detective talking at the music store.

I know he at least
has a knife on him.

A hundred percent.
Always has a knife on him.

Everything really
started to sink in,

that I was wearing the wire,
that this was incredibly dangerous,

and that I put myself in a
very vulnerable position.

[Narrator] After receiving
a mysterious phone call,

Jason Weir pulls into an apartment
complex in nearby attleboro.

[Keenan] They did go
to a third party’s house.

And we did have concerns because
we didn’t have a search warrant

to intercept the audio
transmissions in that house.

We turned off the audio
recordings at that point.

[Narrator] Jim morel has no
choice but to follow him inside,

or risk blowing his cover.

Inside, Jason disappears into
a bedroom and closes the door.

Had Jason just been tipped
off that Jim is wearing a wire?

And even if Jason
isn’t onto Jim,

Jim is all alone in a strange
apartment, surrounded by strangers.

Seconds tick by like hours.

[Jim] Then, the door opens.

Jay comes out of the room,
he’s like, "all right, fine. Fine."

And we leave.

I ask, "like, what
was that about?"

And he literally says,
"don’t worry about it."

And i’m thinkin’, "fine."

[Keenan] Thankfully,
he was returned safe.

They get back into the car, and please keep
him talkin’, we need a little bit more.

We also needed to know
individually what roles

Anthony calabro, Jason Weir
and Thomas lally played in

the homicide of Marina calabro.

I was so disgusted hearing about
how marina’s last moments were...

in that way.

When I had heard that, i’m
like, "these people are ruthless,

cold-blooded. They’re killers."

The tone shifted. The
details started to come in.

And my thought process quickly
changed to, "how could you do this, man?"

If you’re there as a last breath
of someone escaped their body

while they’re pleading for somebody
and you’re just sitting right there,

there’s something
incredibly wrong with that,

as just a human being
to a human being level.

It went from less of a being in
the wrong place at the wrong time

to more of a bragging way
of saying how this went down.

And how they got away with it.

I’m so disgusted as to
what she had to hear...

in her last moments, that
my empathy was gone.

Nah, man ...You.

I’m starting to see the
real reason behind this.

You wanted that money.

You’re willing to end
somebody else’s life for that.

[Narrator] Not only did the three
boys work together to plan the murder,

but they had also researched
the best way to clean up the scene.

These kids had watched
forensic files, you know,

and... and they could get a fun
ways to get away with murder.

They thought they were
educating themselves...

They completely disgust me
and it just changed everything.

I was literally just so angry
and disgusted, that i’m like...

"Let’s just end
it all right now."

If we’re gonna do this, let’s
just do this the right way.

[Narrator] It’s a
stunning confession,

but there’s just one more detail

Jim needs to seal the case.

At that point, I said, "okay,
why don’t I just cut to the chase?

Where are the murder weapons?"

[Narrator] Despite the risks,
Jim keeps pushing for more.

To my surprise, again, he’s
like, "i’ll... I can show you."

Like, all right. Let’s go.

[Narrator] With that, Jason
turns off the main road

and heads deep
into a wooded area.

Once again, Jim
is completely alone.

[Keenan] We had no idea where
he was gonna take him to show him

where they disposed
of the murder weapons.

We had no idea that
that place existed,

where are we goin’,
why are we going here?

We get very concerned when
we started going off-route,

you know, it was gettin’ dark.

It was a desolate
area, we didn’t know

what we were gonna
find when we got there,

or how it was gonna go down.

How sometimes things just
happen very, very quickly

that you have no
complete control over.

We stayed back, we kept him
as best as we could in sight,

but we had audio
on him all the time.

[Narrator] Jim drives into the
darkness with a confessed killer.

He has no idea what’s awaiting
him at the end of the road.

[Narrator] After driving
into a heavily wooded area,

Jason Weir stops the
car near a small pond.

It’s there that the final pieces
of the puzzle can be found.

My nerves are kind of shot, it’s
been a whirlwind of emotions...

and he just starts pointing out,

"there’s a pan over
there on that side,

uh, there’s tea
kettle over there."

He’s pointing to these
different locations

as to where these
weapons may have been.

[Jim] When he told me, for the
final time, uh, it became bragging.

We did get away with this,
because we know how to handle this.

We know what we’re
doing, you know?

We know how to place a
body to make it look like

what it needs to look like,
you know? We’re smart guys.

And I thought to myself, like,
"why are you telling me this?"

[Jim] We drive out of the
woods, and we just get back

on the main road, and
he just drives me home.

I didn’t know how to
keep conversation going.

I didn’t know what I
believed, I don’t know if I made

a huge mistake by
going this far with it.

I couldn’t even understand
why I went this far with it.

But, he had dropped
me back off at home.

And then I just simply
walked into my house.

Luckily, everything went
exactly how we had hoped

it would go, and even better.

You know, we were
able to get, essentially,

a full confession in
the murderer’s voice.

And no one got hurt, all the
information was gleaned lawfully.

And we were very pleased
with how it came out.

It’s surprising that someone so
young would be able to pull it off.

[Jim] Well the cops were
very, very happy with me.

Uh, and like I said,
I was just trying

to clear my name the whole time.

I’m like, "so you guys
100% believe me now, right?

So you’re not investigating
me for murder?"

It’s like, "nah, man. Your hands
are clean, like, we totally get it."

I think Jim morel showed a lot of
character. Showed a lot of strength.

You know, you’re turning your friends
in for a murder that they committed.

It’s not the easiest thing in
the world to do, I can imagine.

But it’s certainly
the right thing,

and the only thing
that you should do.

[Narrator] Not only did
Jim secure a full confession,

but he was also able to determine the
approximate location of the frying pan,

and the teapot
used to kill Marina.

Well, the police of course went
and found the murder weapon.

We had Jason weir’s statements, we
had a pretty good handle on the case,

but... finding the murder
weapons was basically key.

We went down at the
pond, we get there early,

the state police dive team arrived with
a number of professional scuba divers.

They went into the pond.

They spent a good portion of the day doing
grid searches and going back and forth

underwater to try and recover
the evidence we were looking for.

We couldn’t find it.

They needed to find where
these murder weapons were.

[Narrator] Without
the murder weapons,

the case rests solely on
jason’s recorded statements.

Anthony and Tom could simply say

it was all just some wild
story that Jason made up.

We kinda had a very
strong suspicion it was there.

It was just frustrating
not being able to locate it.

One of the detectives
in Norton had said,

"we can drain that
pond down a little bit,

maybe make it a little
bit easier for your search."

We actually worked with conservation
to have the dam let out a little bit,

so we could get further
in, in the event they threw

the murder weapons
into the pond farther.

The state police dive
team was in the water.

We haven’t had much luck, it’s like
the second time we’ve been down there.

And, uh, one of our detectives
who’s a court prosecutor,

Gary barr, comes down, and I
told Gary what we were looking for,

and Gary pointed, "oh,
you mean like that?"

And they were right there.

[Jim] After everything was
done, a day or so goes by.

Um, they’re still not arrested,

and the police
are just essentially

telling me, uh, just
to live your normal life.

Keep hanging out with ’em,
and at this point, i’m like, "no."

Nope. I’m done.

At some point, Jay is gonna
tell people that he told me.

Alright? And i’m not gonna
put myself any more in this thing.

I thought, i’m like,
"i’m not a cop."

You know? I’m
just... I’m just a guy.

You know? This isn’t my job.

So I decide to...
To get out of town.

I go to New
Hampshire for a while.

Until they finally
arrested them.

Once we got that critical piece
of evidence, the murder weapons,

at that point that’s
when we we went

and got arrest warrants
for the three of them.

[Tires screeching]

[Keenan] Anthony calabro was
arrested at home by two state troopers.

I was on scene with lally
when he was arrested.

We took him out and
brought him back to the station.

We attempted to talk with him.

He did talk to us for
a brief period of time,

but the story that he told us
was completely inconsistent

with what information
we had at the time,

so we knew that he
wasn’t being truthful with us.

Anthony calabro refused to talk.

As soon as he was arrested, he
requested a lawyer and never spoke with us.

Jason did speak to us. He
kind of outlined his involvement.

He downplayed his actual
involvement in the case.

He basically told
us what lally did.

[Jim] Heard on
the radio, actually,

that three people had been
arrested for this murder.

I’m like, "all right, I guess I
could go back home now."

I waited a couple of days, though,
still, just for things to kind of clear up.

We never disclosed to Jason Weir
that Jim morel had actually worn a wire.

Whether he suspected
that or not, I don’t know.

But we never told Jason Weir
that Jim morel was wearing the wire,

because we didn’t wanna
put Jim morel in harm’s way.

Not only did I
not have to testify,

I also never had to come face-to-face
with any of them ever again.

They were all arraigned on murder
charges in Quincy district court.

Thomas lally is tried first.

[Reporter] Thomas lally
from Norton was convicted

of first-degree
murder for the killing

of Marina calabro in her
Quincy home back in 2011.

A month or two later,
Anthony calabro pleads guilty

to second-degree murder.

He admitted to his
role in being the lookout,

and being part of a plot
to, uh, kill his great-aunt.

Jason Weir ultimately pleaded
guilty to being accessory after the fact.

Jason Weir was given
a seven-year sentence.

Anthony calabro was also
convicted of second-degree murder.

He was given life with parole.

Eligible for parole
after 15 years.

Thomas lally was convicted
of first-degree murder.

He was given a sentence
of life without parole.

It was a sad way
for Marina calabro,

who was a loving, caring
woman to have her life ended.

I think that justice was served.

I think that the three people that were
involved in bringing her life to an end

were held accountable
for their actions.

Two out of the three
are still in jail now,

and I think that that
day justice was served.

[Narrator] Jim knows that
his friends now understand

that he was the one who wore
the wire, and brought them down.

But despite all
the risks, he’s okay

with the consequences
of that decision.

When I got home,

I started doubting
everything I did.

I had some inner conflicts.

I’ve had 20 years to
process everything.

Uh, i’m married, you know?

I’ve gotten, you know, my...

Things are... things
are good for me.

I’m doin’... I’m
doin’ all right.

Um, so I really have no complaints
the way my life has turned out.

And, uh, I probably
wouldn’t be who I am today

if it weren’t for
those circumstances.

I think he was a brave young man
for taking the chance that he took.

I... I think he was an
honest guy, you know?

I think he had a conscience.

And he should be proud
that he helped bring

three people that murdered
an older woman to justice.

I think he’s
underplaying it a bit.

What if he just...

never volunteered and just
walked out of the police station?

For god’s sakes!

They had nothing!

No evidence.

I don’t know if they would’ve
solved it, you know, without him.

[Jim] There is no
winner in any of this.

There is no happy ending.
Nobody came out on top.

At the end of the day, three people
went to jail for a very long time.

One will never get out of jail.

At the end of the day, a woman
was murdered for no reason.
