1
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:18,510
I just felt like my soul
had left my body.
2
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:29,280
We have a killer out there.
3
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:31,010
We don't know if this is
a serial killer
4
00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:32,380
or someone
that's going to kill again.
5
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,990
I have to tell chief allar
this because
6
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:44,190
this is going to change
the whole investigation.
7
00:00:44,290 --> 00:00:47,090
Your mind takes you
to some dark, scary places.
8
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,500
Was he laying there on the
ground with bullets in his head?
9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,970
Nobody will ever know what he
went through on that cold floor.
10
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:02,680
11
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:05,810
12
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:01,570
10-63.
13
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:04,340
Go ahead.
Coming up, code 131.
14
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,070
Within minutes,
officers arrive on the scene.
15
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,310
I pulled up to the scene.
16
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:19,290
I turned my body cam on,
and I was going through my head
17
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,160
what scenarios
were going to play out.
18
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:24,160
Everybody is on high alert.
19
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:29,160
Bellaire police chief
Michael kovalyk takes the lead.
20
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:34,430
Someone finding a dead body in a
residence in the west bellaire
21
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:38,310
area was something that...
The last thing we would expect.
22
00:02:38,410 --> 00:02:41,410
It's wondering what could have
brought this about.
23
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:19,350
It was kind of a shock to find
out it was Brad mcgarry.
24
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:20,510
I knew him.
25
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:22,520
This guy was a very nice guy.
26
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:30,960
The victim was facedown
with what appeared to be
27
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:32,630
a gunshot wound to the head.
28
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:36,760
Of course, there was quite
an amount of blood on the floor,
29
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:42,240
but we didn't figure
it had been over 5 or 6 hours
30
00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:43,600
since he had been shot.
31
00:03:43,710 --> 00:03:47,210
There was no signs
of any struggle of any sort.
32
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:50,880
When we find someone
that had been shot in the head,
33
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:53,680
we consider
a possibility of suicide.
34
00:03:58,290 --> 00:04:01,120
Looking for answers,
investigators turn to the people
35
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:03,090
who discovered Brad dead.
36
00:04:06,430 --> 00:04:09,230
The people outside
are David Kinney and his wife,
37
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:12,530
cheri,
the woman who called 911.
38
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,250
We had to start
with the kinneys.
39
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:23,610
They're the ones that said
they had found Mr. Mcgarry.
40
00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:25,750
They were our star witnesses.
41
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:47,230
It was locked, and no one
came to the door.
42
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:49,200
Kinney said he then
told his daughter
43
00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:51,610
to go up behind
to the back door of the house.
44
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:53,340
She found the door open.
45
00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:26,370
He saw Brad, and Brad
had obviously been shot
46
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,410
and was deceased.
47
00:05:28,510 --> 00:05:30,010
He became very devastated.
48
00:05:50,630 --> 00:05:53,100
Word of Brad's death
quickly filters out
49
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,270
to his family and friends.
50
00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:59,410
The day I found out
that Brad was dead,
51
00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:00,910
I was at work that day,
52
00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:04,580
and I got a call
from our mutual friend.
53
00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:08,280
It was surreal and is something
that happens on TV and movies.
54
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:13,200
It's not something
that happens in real life.
55
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:17,890
Brad was a big Teddy bear,
just a loving, cuddly guy.
56
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:19,830
Brad was uncle Brad to my kids.
57
00:06:19,930 --> 00:06:21,830
He loved my kids.
58
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:27,770
He just was so creative and had
a good heart and loved people.
59
00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:32,540
My mom told me,
and I fell to the floor.
60
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,240
I was just crying.
I couldn't get myself together.
61
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:40,220
I just felt like my soul had,
like, left my body.
62
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,650
Brad meant the world to me.
63
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:45,090
He was just someone
that I could count on
64
00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:48,420
to make me laugh or make me
smile or just whatever I needed.
65
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:50,170
He was there.
66
00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:56,400
One of Brad mcgarry's closest
friends was David Kinney,
67
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:59,330
the man who found
Brad's lifeless body.
68
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:11,880
It is horrific for them to come
up on such a scene like that.
69
00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:14,580
It was too much for them
to handle.
70
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,780
You can never get used to it.
71
00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:19,290
David Kinney showed
a great deal of emotion.
72
00:07:19,390 --> 00:07:23,390
He expressed disbelief
that his friend was gone.
73
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Yeah.
74
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,270
Yeah.
75
00:07:42,050 --> 00:07:45,120
Suspecting suicide,
investigators question
76
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:47,760
the kinneys
about Brad's personal life.
77
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,160
He's not too bad.
78
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:06,530
While investigators speak with
David and cheri Kinney outside,
79
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,170
inside officers pore
over the crime scene
80
00:08:10,270 --> 00:08:13,840
looking for the gun Brad might
have used to kill himself.
81
00:08:25,260 --> 00:08:28,030
One of the primary concerns
of the crime-scene search
82
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,830
we're definitely wanting to find
is the weapon used.
83
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,270
In a lot of suicides,
84
00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:41,940
you'll see the victim fall
on top of the weapon
85
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,170
where the weapon
ends up underneath them.
86
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,580
We moved the body around to do
a search underneath the firearm.
87
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:54,080
We did not find one.
88
00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:02,920
We have a gunshot victim
and no gun.
89
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:05,060
Somebody took the gun somewhere.
90
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,690
You're dealing with a homicide.
91
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,200
We have a killer
that is out there,
92
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:13,370
and we don't know
what their motivation is.
93
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:15,170
We don't know if this
is a spree killer,
94
00:09:15,270 --> 00:09:18,770
a serial killer, or someone
that's going to kill again.
95
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,390
The hunt for who killed
Brad mcgarry was on.
96
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,590
Beloved friend and coal miner
97
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:41,930
Brad mcgarry has been found
shot dead
98
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:45,000
in the basement
of his bellaire, Ohio, home,
99
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,670
and with no gun
found at the scene,
100
00:09:47,770 --> 00:09:49,570
investigators now realize
101
00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:52,410
they have a murder
on their hands.
102
00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:53,910
At this point
in the investigation,
103
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:55,010
we don't know a lot,
104
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:57,440
but we have a killer
that is out there,
105
00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:00,180
and we don't know
what their motivation is.
106
00:10:02,890 --> 00:10:06,260
Investigators continue
their search of Brad's house
107
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,820
looking for anything that might
lead them to their killer.
108
00:10:09,930 --> 00:10:13,190
We started going through
the upstairs and the bedroom.
109
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,600
All the drawers were pulled out
and the dressers.
110
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,670
The place was pretty much
throwed about,
111
00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:20,730
things thrown here,
there and everywhere.
112
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,820
Brad collected what was
referred as country art,
113
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,090
kind of things you'd see at
a cracker barrel country store.
114
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:43,490
He had a great deal of it.
115
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:46,230
But when investigators
take a closer look
116
00:10:46,330 --> 00:10:49,460
at the crime scene,
questions arise.
117
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:01,940
You know, there's cash money
118
00:11:02,050 --> 00:11:05,220
and brand-new smartphones
laying around.
119
00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:07,310
There's cameras still in boxes.
120
00:11:07,420 --> 00:11:08,780
There's nice tvs.
121
00:11:08,890 --> 00:11:11,230
These are all things
I would expect to not be there
122
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,950
in a burglary
or robbery-type situation.
123
00:11:20,330 --> 00:11:22,730
We didn't know exactly
what we were dealing with.
124
00:11:22,830 --> 00:11:25,000
Things weren't adding up
100 percent.
125
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,900
If burglary wasn't the motive
for this murder, then what was?
126
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,640
At this point,
detectives aren't sure.
127
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:37,310
A canvass of the area was done,
128
00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:38,810
and one of the questions
that we asked
129
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,430
was if we got
any surveillance video.
130
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,290
It could really help US narrow
down our search for a suspect.
131
00:11:48,490 --> 00:11:50,860
We're double, triple-checking
some of the stories
132
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,890
we've been getting from
some of the witnesses.
133
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,460
They discover Brad's neighbor
134
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,200
had his video-surveillance
system
135
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,300
rolling on the day
of the murder.
136
00:12:01,970 --> 00:12:04,070
It was very exciting to hear.
137
00:12:04,170 --> 00:12:06,240
We can use that footage
to nail down
138
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:09,010
what time Brad returned home,
139
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:12,150
what his travels were,
what his habits were.
140
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:15,350
That'll help US get to know
Brad better,
141
00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:18,550
but you're looking at
a very time-intensive period
142
00:12:18,650 --> 00:12:23,190
of going over hours and hours
and hours of recorded video
143
00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:26,030
trying to figure out
what's relevant or not relevant.
144
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,830
Back outside Brad's house,
145
00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:35,270
chief kovalyk looks for answers
by continuing to press
146
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:36,970
cheri and David Kinney.
147
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:42,880
He...
148
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:52,150
Yeah.
149
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,490
Yeah.
150
00:13:04,770 --> 00:13:08,600
Brad was a gay man,
and David and cheri Kinney
151
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:13,410
had told US about
a recent ex-boyfriend of Brad's
152
00:13:13,510 --> 00:13:16,640
who had the first name of Scotty
153
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:20,450
that there had been some
friction and problems with,
154
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:24,080
but the kinneys didn't know
Scotty's last name,
155
00:13:24,190 --> 00:13:28,960
so that's something that
we definitely had to find out,
156
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:31,860
and as he was leaving,
David Kinney,
157
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,300
you know, put out his hand
and grabbed my hand,
158
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,530
and he squeezed it very tight,
159
00:13:37,630 --> 00:13:40,830
and he looked at me
right in the eye and said,
160
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:43,870
"Brad was the best friend
I had in the whole world.
161
00:13:43,970 --> 00:13:47,510
I loved him. Please find out
who did this to my friend,"
162
00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:48,910
and I told him that we would do
163
00:13:49,010 --> 00:13:50,580
everything we could
to make that happen.
164
00:13:59,290 --> 00:14:02,220
While the kinneys grieve,
the next day,
165
00:14:02,330 --> 00:14:05,800
the results
of the autopsy come in.
166
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:08,040
Brad was killed by two gunshots
167
00:14:08,130 --> 00:14:13,400
from a .22-caliber handgun
to the back of the head.
168
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:21,340
Finding out that Brad
had been killed was one thing.
169
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,540
Finding out the manner
that he had been killed
170
00:14:23,650 --> 00:14:26,110
was an entirely different thing.
171
00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:28,630
I just couldn't comprehend
the concept
172
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,250
of somebody
purposely harming him.
173
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:32,920
I couldn't understand
that at all.
174
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:37,390
It's definitely a punch
in the stomach to find that out.
175
00:14:37,490 --> 00:14:39,130
I couldn't breathe.
176
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:43,700
With any type
of death investigation
177
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,770
and especially
a homicide investigation,
178
00:14:45,870 --> 00:14:47,200
there's a dark energy,
179
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:50,800
definitely runs
through the entire department.
180
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:54,410
It's a good motivation
for everybody to get up
181
00:14:54,510 --> 00:14:56,380
and do everything they can.
182
00:14:59,980 --> 00:15:02,480
Investigators start their search
for a suspect
183
00:15:02,590 --> 00:15:05,300
by questioning the people
who knew Brad best:
184
00:15:05,390 --> 00:15:07,120
His friends and family.
185
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:17,300
Chief allar starts with
Mary Kay milliken.
186
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:34,480
But...
187
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:37,650
Then Mary Kay mentions
something else,
188
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:41,220
a detail that matches
an earlier theory investigators
189
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,420
had already been pursuing.
190
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:05,610
Did investigators abandon
191
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,360
their botched-burglary
theory too soon?
192
00:16:09,450 --> 00:16:11,850
It's something that we got to
keep in the back of our heads.
193
00:16:11,950 --> 00:16:14,590
Could this homicide have been
the by-product of a robbery?
194
00:16:14,690 --> 00:16:18,520
You know, maybe Brad come home
and spooked a burglar
195
00:16:18,630 --> 00:16:20,960
and was shot
to cover up the crime.
196
00:16:37,710 --> 00:16:39,650
Detectives
investigating the murder
197
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:42,320
of Brad mcgarry
in bellaire, Ohio,
198
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:46,420
wonder if he was killed
during a burglary gone wrong.
199
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:53,830
We thought that maybe
it was a burglary,
200
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:56,160
and it went bad,
201
00:16:56,270 --> 00:17:01,610
and whoever it was panicked
and murdered Mr. Mcgarry.
202
00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:08,480
Investigators
return to the crime scene
203
00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:12,050
looking for evidence
to confirm their theory.
204
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:13,880
You're doing due diligence
on any case
205
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:17,580
in pursuing
any possible factor
206
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,650
what could've led
to Brad's death.
207
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760
The crime scene itself
presents a mystery,
208
00:17:31,870 --> 00:17:35,870
and investigators aren't sure
how to interpret the evidence.
209
00:17:35,970 --> 00:17:36,940
You have a homicide.
210
00:17:37,070 --> 00:17:39,840
You got a ransacked house.
211
00:17:39,940 --> 00:17:44,110
It's pointing this way,
but it's not feeling that way.
212
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,290
You walk into any scene.
213
00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:58,420
These places have feels,
you know,
214
00:17:58,530 --> 00:18:01,790
and nobody was feeling
this as a robbery,
215
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:04,200
but that's what it wanted
you to think.
216
00:18:05,630 --> 00:18:08,470
Each one of the drawers
in all the areas
217
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:12,440
looked like they were pulled out
to the same point
218
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:17,480
if you would or same distance.
219
00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:21,710
That struck US as being
somewhat odd.
220
00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:23,550
It was a rushed job,
it was sloppy,
221
00:18:23,650 --> 00:18:28,150
and it definitely started to
feel like a staged crime scene.
222
00:18:28,260 --> 00:18:32,060
It was made to look like
something that it wasn't,
223
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,530
so if this was
a staged crime scene,
224
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:38,030
this was not a burglary
or a robbery.
225
00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:41,270
We got to start asking questions
of who benefits
226
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:42,870
or who would've been
in the best position
227
00:18:42,970 --> 00:18:45,100
to have something to do
with his death.
228
00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:50,540
Investigators have
a possible suspect,
229
00:18:50,650 --> 00:18:54,010
but his identity remains
a partial mystery.
230
00:19:01,490 --> 00:19:04,860
We definitely felt like finding
Scotty could help US
231
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,330
to find the missing
piece of that puzzle,
232
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:10,160
so of course we wanted
to find him, see what he knew,
233
00:19:10,270 --> 00:19:12,700
if he knew anything
that was going to help US
234
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,570
to solve this case.
235
00:19:15,670 --> 00:19:18,000
We're interested in finding
this Scotty,
236
00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:19,570
at this point,
last name unknown,
237
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720
and we don't have
a lot to go on.
238
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:25,110
Detectives continue looking
for answers by tracking down
239
00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:27,510
and speaking
with Brad's friends.
240
00:19:44,430 --> 00:19:48,600
Boom, we got a name:
Scotty Butler.
241
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,840
Finally, detectives have
the remaining piece
242
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:54,070
of this
investigative puzzle.
243
00:19:54,180 --> 00:19:56,240
This was very exciting.
244
00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:57,650
It's like Christmas morning.
245
00:19:57,750 --> 00:20:00,110
Now we could find him
and talk to him.
246
00:20:00,220 --> 00:20:03,480
Police dig into
Scotty's background.
247
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:09,020
They discover a criminal record
and a location.
248
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,720
We discovered he was in fact
in jail in West Virginia
249
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:13,460
for a parole violation.
250
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:21,830
We talked to Scotty Butler.
251
00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:28,140
He seemed to be surprised and
very upset that Brad had passed.
252
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,980
He had no idea who would want to
do anything like this to Brad,
253
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,810
didn't seem to have,
254
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,680
you know, any reason
to have him killed either.
255
00:20:38,790 --> 00:20:42,120
We were fairly confident
to rule him out as a suspect.
256
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:45,690
It was time to stop wasting time
on that train of thought.
257
00:20:45,790 --> 00:20:48,430
We documented what we did
with him and moved on.
258
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:56,370
Days into the investigation
and detectives are no closer
259
00:20:56,470 --> 00:21:00,340
to catching
Brad mcgarry's killer.
260
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,540
I did want to know
who did this to him.
261
00:21:02,650 --> 00:21:06,990
I felt very angry and frustrated
262
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,080
because I couldn't
figure it out myself,
263
00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:13,620
and I wasn't in control
of the situation.
264
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,490
It's hard to understand
265
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:18,160
why someone would take
someone else's life,
266
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:21,130
and the next thing
that goes through your mind is,
267
00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:24,660
"did he suffer? Was he laying
there on the ground
268
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:27,930
with bullets in his head?
Did he bleed to death?"
269
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,810
And your mind takes you
to some dark, scary places.
270
00:21:32,910 --> 00:21:35,980
But just as the investigation
begins to stall,
271
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,540
detectives receive word
that what they feared
272
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:40,880
the most may have come true.
273
00:21:42,890 --> 00:21:45,630
Seventy-eight-three-five,
code six, 25 north...
274
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,690
There's been another shooting
275
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:50,390
just minutes away
from Brad's home.
276
00:21:50,490 --> 00:21:53,260
Two days after Brad's murder,
there was another shooting
277
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,800
that occurred
just across the county line.
278
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:57,700
We didn't know
what was going on.
279
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,770
Did he kill again?
280
00:22:16,890 --> 00:22:21,600
Just 2 days after Brad mcgarry
was shot dead in his own home,
281
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:23,460
there's been a second shooting
282
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160
just a few miles away
in wheeling, West Virginia.
283
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:31,460
Now detectives wonder
if the two cases are related.
284
00:22:31,570 --> 00:22:33,870
You kind of got a stopwatch
going off in your head
285
00:22:33,970 --> 00:22:36,600
that you want to race
against the clock,
286
00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:39,120
at the same time
not trip and fall,
287
00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:41,710
and that's a hard thing to do.
288
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:44,010
Officers at the scene
discover the victim,
289
00:22:44,110 --> 00:22:48,350
identified as 41-year-old
ahmid hinton, barely alive.
290
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:53,990
While their squad-car
dashcams record,
291
00:22:54,090 --> 00:22:55,550
first responders struggle
292
00:22:55,660 --> 00:22:57,290
to keep hinton from death.
293
00:23:26,290 --> 00:23:29,120
Emts race hinton
to the hospital,
294
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:32,530
but he dies en route.
295
00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:35,160
A murder investigation
is underway in wheeling.
296
00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:36,600
It's our top story
live at 5.
297
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:37,860
Thanks for joining US.
298
00:23:37,970 --> 00:23:39,000
I'm Jennifer black.
And I'm rich Pierce.
299
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,830
A man shot several times
on wheeling island,
300
00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:42,540
now a manhunt underway.
301
00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:47,070
Detectives learn that,
just minutes before he died,
302
00:23:47,180 --> 00:23:52,510
hinton identified his killer:
A man named Jordan Davis.
303
00:23:52,610 --> 00:23:54,650
But can bellaire investigators
304
00:23:54,750 --> 00:23:58,650
link Davis
to Brad mcgarry's murder?
305
00:23:58,750 --> 00:23:59,890
It's not the sort of thing
that happens
306
00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:02,490
on a regular basis
in this area,
307
00:24:02,590 --> 00:24:05,020
and you get two
violent gun incidents
308
00:24:05,130 --> 00:24:07,230
that occurs
at the same time.
309
00:24:07,330 --> 00:24:08,890
We need to look at that.
310
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,930
I reached out to the department
handling it
311
00:24:11,030 --> 00:24:12,870
and very quickly
compared notes.
312
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:14,130
This is the type of case I have.
313
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,600
These are the players
that I have.
314
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:19,100
What do you got? Is there any
connection between the two?
315
00:24:25,610 --> 00:24:26,850
Chief allar learns that
316
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:29,280
wheeling police obtain
surveillance video
317
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:33,190
from a neighbor
near the crime scene.
318
00:24:33,290 --> 00:24:35,450
You're looking at
surveillance video
319
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,260
of a gun fight outside
of a residence
320
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,960
in the wheeling area.
321
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:43,760
The video captures ahmid hinton
collapsing outside the house
322
00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:46,330
of an acquaintance
after being shot.
323
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,400
The acquaintance
then returns fire,
324
00:24:51,510 --> 00:24:53,540
but the shooter gets away.
325
00:24:57,610 --> 00:24:59,680
Investigators know
Brad was killed
326
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:03,380
with a .22-caliber gun,
so they compare the ballistics
327
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:05,760
to the weapon
used to kill hinton.
328
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,390
One thing that you're
looking out for
329
00:25:09,490 --> 00:25:14,330
is weapons, calibers,
and it wasn't a .22.
330
00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:15,530
That's what we're looking for,
331
00:25:15,630 --> 00:25:17,400
and, you know,
we quickly found out
332
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:20,600
that the persons involved
were not connected.
333
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:25,000
The murder in wheeling,
334
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:28,310
as close as it was
to Brad mcgarry's killing,
335
00:25:28,410 --> 00:25:30,180
is just another dead end
336
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,610
that has cost detectives
valuable time,
337
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,720
but detectives press on.
338
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:40,720
They question another one
of Brad's close friends.
339
00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:43,890
We thought this person might
know who's in Brad's circle.
340
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,060
Who's he close with?
341
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,990
Who is he dating?
342
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:51,010
Who is he maybe fighting over?
343
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:35,910
This person told US that
when Brad had a relationship
344
00:26:36,010 --> 00:26:37,640
with a man known as dj,
345
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:40,410
dj and Brad had met
in the coal mine.
346
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,860
This is the first time
detectives are hearing
347
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:45,180
about another boyfriend.
348
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,970
We learn that dj was married,
and his wife did not know
349
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,740
that he was
in a relationship with Brad
350
00:27:10,850 --> 00:27:15,280
and that this was a secret
that he kept for years.
351
00:27:15,380 --> 00:27:19,750
And then he tells
investigators dj's real name.
352
00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:21,930
It's a name
they've heard before.
353
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:29,830
Hold this together.
354
00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:33,400
David Kinney,
Brad mcgarry's best friend
355
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:37,140
and the man who found Brad
dead in his basement.
356
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,510
Yeah.
357
00:27:52,550 --> 00:27:54,190
Kind of popped out of nowhere.
358
00:27:54,290 --> 00:27:56,320
This dj that he had been
in this relationship
359
00:27:56,430 --> 00:27:59,740
with was David Kinney.
360
00:27:59,830 --> 00:28:04,060
It definitely turned the case
on its axis, you know?
361
00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:07,530
We found out that Brad
pressured David Kinney
362
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,100
on various occasions
to leave his wife
363
00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:11,780
so they could be together.
364
00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:44,640
Up to a couple hours ago,
our whole idea
365
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:47,670
of the relationship
of David Kinney and Brad mcgarry
366
00:28:47,780 --> 00:28:49,810
is that they were very,
very close friends.
367
00:28:49,910 --> 00:28:54,150
Now we learned that David Kinney
and Brad mcgarry
368
00:28:54,250 --> 00:28:56,450
were involved
in a sexual relationship.
369
00:28:56,550 --> 00:29:00,920
We had to look, was that somehow
connected with Brad's killing?
370
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:03,820
It was time to have a different
conversation with David Kinney.
371
00:29:31,020 --> 00:29:35,090
Your GPS location is often
going to be
372
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:36,560
revealed to US on your phone.
373
00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:39,990
I absolutely wanted to see
where Mr. Kinney's phone
374
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:41,470
was at the time
of the murder.
375
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,470
As detective cruse
reviews David's phone,
376
00:29:55,580 --> 00:29:58,140
chief allar continues
questioning him.
377
00:30:35,650 --> 00:30:40,120
When you see a suspect
start to respond emotionally,
378
00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:45,490
that's the indicator
that you're close to them
379
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:46,990
reaching some sort of moment
380
00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:49,390
where they're going to
give you something.
381
00:30:52,030 --> 00:30:55,000
He's telling chief allar
in the interview room,
382
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:57,440
"we're just friends. We're just
friends. We're just friends."
383
00:30:57,540 --> 00:30:59,810
I'm looking through his phone
and seeing,
384
00:30:59,910 --> 00:31:03,710
"we're lovers.
We're lovers. We're lovers."
385
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:06,680
We're able to see texts,
deleted photos.
386
00:31:06,780 --> 00:31:10,950
But it's what else they find
on David's phone that could be
387
00:31:11,050 --> 00:31:13,590
the most compelling piece
of evidence of all.
388
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:15,190
Now alls I'm thinking is,
this is going to change
389
00:31:15,290 --> 00:31:17,920
the whole aspect
of this investigation.
390
00:31:32,670 --> 00:31:36,110
The search for Brad mcgarry's
killer has come full circle
391
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,880
and landed right back where
it started with David Kinney.
392
00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:45,620
It was Kinney who found
mcgarry's body,
393
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,750
and now investigators suspect
394
00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:50,090
he was having an affair
with Brad,
395
00:31:50,190 --> 00:31:53,690
an affair Kinney's wife
knew nothing about.
396
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Now investigators are reviewing
the contents of David's phone,
397
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,240
looking to connect him
to Brad's murder.
398
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:07,710
As I go into his phone,
what I'm looking at,
399
00:32:07,810 --> 00:32:09,910
what I'm seeing
in the text thread
400
00:32:10,010 --> 00:32:12,610
between the two
is they're not just friends.
401
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:14,680
They're, in fact,
romantically involved.
402
00:32:14,780 --> 00:32:16,150
They're lovers.
403
00:32:16,250 --> 00:32:20,620
He really started to make US
think this guy is hiding a lot.
404
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,360
Detective cruse also recovers
deleted voice messages
405
00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:25,860
from Brad mcgarry,
406
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,190
left just days
before he was killed.
407
00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:46,780
But it's his analysis
of the phone's GPS locator
408
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,950
that's the most revealing.
409
00:32:49,050 --> 00:32:52,150
The most important thing is,
is it's putting him
410
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:56,620
at the crime scene
at the time of the murder.
411
00:32:56,730 --> 00:32:58,830
Now alls I'm thinking is,
I have to tell chief allar this
412
00:32:58,930 --> 00:33:00,930
because this is going to
change the whole aspect
413
00:33:01,030 --> 00:33:02,960
of this investigation.
414
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:18,380
We had David Kinney lying to US
415
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,350
about the sexual relationship
with the victim.
416
00:33:21,450 --> 00:33:24,780
We had GPS coordinates
coming that, you know,
417
00:33:24,890 --> 00:33:27,390
would prove
that he was at the house
418
00:33:27,490 --> 00:33:31,390
when the murder took place.
419
00:33:31,490 --> 00:33:34,360
That's not the only piece
of evidence placing David
420
00:33:34,460 --> 00:33:37,830
at the scene after investigators
finally go through
421
00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:42,370
all of the surveillance
footage from Brad's neighbor.
422
00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:44,800
At one point
in the surveillance video,
423
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:48,270
you'll see David Kinney
arriving at Brad's home
424
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:51,210
driving his wife's car.
425
00:33:51,310 --> 00:33:55,050
Then you'll see Brad
return home,
426
00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:58,150
and then shortly after Brad
returns home,
427
00:33:58,250 --> 00:34:01,120
you can see David Kinney
leaving the area.
428
00:34:03,930 --> 00:34:08,140
A couple hours later, you see
David returning in his truck
429
00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:11,500
with the family,
which is a direct contrast
430
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,130
to everything we'd been
told prior to.
431
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,500
Armed with this new information,
432
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:22,140
chief allar
returns to David Kinney
433
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:25,580
and presses him about
his relationship with Brad.
434
00:35:14,330 --> 00:35:16,060
I tried to put him
at ease about it.
435
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,300
I told him.
436
00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:18,900
I said, you know,
"what year is it? No one cares.
437
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,270
Maybe your wife
is probably going to care,
438
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:23,500
but as far as society,
no one is going to care.
439
00:35:23,610 --> 00:35:25,910
You like dudes or chicks.
I mean, no one cares."
440
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:52,460
The interview is going on.
441
00:35:52,570 --> 00:35:55,000
Everything started to flow
rather well.
442
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:58,300
I had this overwhelming feeling
that David was about
443
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,040
to share
with me what happened.
444
00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:19,470
David and Brad were involved
in this sexual relationship,
445
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,590
and David didn't want more,
but Brad did.
446
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:25,860
Brad wanted a lot more
than David was willing to give.
447
00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:28,230
Four hours into the interview,
448
00:36:28,340 --> 00:36:31,070
David Kinney starts
to break down.
449
00:36:59,570 --> 00:37:03,130
At one point, David told him,
"hey, we can't do this anymore,"
450
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:06,810
and Brad was threatening to tell
David's wife about the affair.
451
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,790
David said that Brad
grabbed a .22 pistol
452
00:37:29,900 --> 00:37:32,530
that he had laying
around the basement.
453
00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:56,150
Kinney insists he was afraid
Brad was going to shoot him,
454
00:37:56,260 --> 00:37:58,160
so he snatched the gun away,
455
00:37:58,260 --> 00:38:01,330
but chief allar doesn't buy it.
456
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,380
At no point...None of the
evidence would make US indicate
457
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,480
or believe
that this was self-defense.
458
00:39:47,170 --> 00:39:52,270
I believe David Kinney, with
prior calculation and design,
459
00:39:52,370 --> 00:39:56,140
shot Brad mcgarry twice
in the back of the head.
460
00:39:58,850 --> 00:40:01,310
Then he staged a crime scene.
461
00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:11,190
David Kinney was terrified
of what Brad mcgarry
462
00:40:11,290 --> 00:40:12,990
could do
to blow up his life.
463
00:40:16,530 --> 00:40:19,260
Chief allar takes
David's written statement
464
00:40:19,370 --> 00:40:22,270
and then allows him to
speak with his wife, cheri.
465
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,940
David Kinney is arrested and,
after an 8-day trial,
466
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,280
is convicted of the murder
of Brad mcgarry.
467
00:41:40,380 --> 00:41:45,080
David Kinney was found guilty
of aggravated murder
468
00:41:45,190 --> 00:41:47,290
and sentenced
to life without parole.
469
00:41:49,420 --> 00:41:53,560
The ironic thing is, David
killed somebody that loved him
470
00:41:53,660 --> 00:41:58,660
because he was just
so afraid of this secret
471
00:41:58,770 --> 00:42:02,530
about his alter personality,
his alter life if you will,
472
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,670
being revealed that he was
willing to murder somebody
473
00:42:05,770 --> 00:42:07,210
that loved him over it,
474
00:42:07,310 --> 00:42:09,870
and what's sad is now everybody
knows anyway, and Brad is dead.
475
00:42:09,980 --> 00:42:13,480
I miss hearing that voice.
476
00:42:13,580 --> 00:42:14,580
There's just an emptiness
477
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,280
that nothing
will ever take his place.
478
00:42:17,390 --> 00:42:19,830
My world and a lot of other
worlds are darker now
479
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,950
because Brad is not there
to light our way.
480
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:25,990
Brad had a whole lot more life
to live and love
481
00:42:26,090 --> 00:42:30,430
to give to so many people.
482
00:42:30,530 --> 00:42:34,900
David Kinney took so much
from this world
483
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,140
when he took Brad mcgarry.
484
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:43,910
Brad mcgarry could've changed
the world with his kindness
485
00:42:43,980 --> 00:42:48,210
and his loyalty
and his determination.
486
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,480
He had so much to give, and that
was just ripped away from US.
