would talk more and more 107 00:05:56,033 --> 00:05:57,223 about his Mormon faith. 108 00:05:57,250 --> 00:06:01,000 Skoloff: Travis explained to her that he really wanted to be, 109 00:06:01,033 --> 00:06:03,073 eventually, with a Mormon woman. 110 00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:09,376 Jodi was very eager to learn more about the Mormon religion. 111 00:06:09,416 --> 00:06:13,416 At some point, she decides she's going to convert to Mormonism. 112 00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:16,050 Velez-Mitchell: Just about two months after they met, 113 00:06:16,083 --> 00:06:19,253 Jodi gets baptized into the

challenged me to read it, and I did, 119 00:06:32,216 --> 00:06:35,276 and, you know, it was a decision that I made, 120 00:06:35,316 --> 00:06:37,396 and I could tell he was very honored when I asked him, 121 00:06:37,433 --> 00:06:42,223 and he, you know, of course, was happy to do so. 122 00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:47,480 Baptizing, I think, is a -- it's a sacred thing. 123 00:06:49,366 --> 00:06:51,476 Velez-Mitchell: Travis was very aware that in 124 00:06:52,016 --> 00:06:55,366 the Mormon religion, dating is for one purpose and one purpose 125 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,450 alone, and that is to find a marriage partner, 126 00:06:58,483 --> 00:07:01,083 and the Book of Mormon is very clear 127 00:07:01,116 --> 00:07:03,146 that outside the bounds of marriage, 128 00:07:03,183 --> 00:07:07,003 there is no sexual contact whatsoever. 129 00:07:07,033 --> 00:07:10,133 They would meet halfway in between California and Arizona 130 00:07:10,166 --> 00:07:13,326 on these weekend, you

00:14:17,133 --> 00:14:19,403 one of the things that he pointed out to me 237 00:14:19,433 --> 00:14:22,183 were the stab wounds. 238 00:14:22,216 --> 00:14:25,076 Skoloff: We're talking nearly 30

244 00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:45,296 the sink area, I remember that there was a mirror there. 245 00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:48,033 And one of the things that struck me about the mirror 246 00:14:48,066 --> 00:14:51,166 was that there was blood on it, and it appeared that there had 247 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,120 been movement that was associated with placing 248 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:55,270 the blood there. 249 00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:59,030 Something had happened there to shed all the blood 250 00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:02,276 In this bathroom, it's clear that there has been some kind of 251 00:15:02,316 --> 00:15:07,216 major battle between the killer and the victim. 252 00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:10,050 A large part of it took place near the sink. 253 00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:13,050 The other thing that I remember 254 00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:16,423 is that the body had been stuffed in the shower, 255 00:15:16,450 --> 00:15:19,380 and what that indicated, that there was a lot of rage 256 00:15:19,416 --> 00:15:22,446 or violence and strength 257 00:15:22,483 --> 00:15:25,303 by the person who actually had put him there. 258 00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:27,323 There was blood everywhere. 259 00:15:32,283 --> 00:15:34,403 Velez-Mitchell: Detective Flores has a real whodunit 260 00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:38,233 on his hands, and he starts from scratch, 261 00:15:38,266 --> 00:15:40,376 and you always look at the people who are there, 262 00:15:40,416 --> 00:15:44,166 who are closest, so he starts looking at Travis' roommates. 263 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,350 I think the thought of being considered a suspect 264 00:15:47,383 --> 00:15:50,023 had definitely entered my mind at some point. 265 00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:51,420 Hogan: The detective enters the house, 266 00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:55,130 and right away, he is struck by the noxious odor. 267 00:15:56,283 --> 00:15:58,253 He can't believe that these roommates had lived there 268 00:15:58,283 --> 00:16:00,173 with Travis' dead body. 269 00:16:02,383 --> 00:16:06,053 Cortez: You couldn't really smell it in my bedroom yet, 270 00:16:06,083 --> 00:16:09,033 but you go into the common areas of the house, 271 00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:10,316 and it seems like you could start to smell it 272 00:16:10,350 --> 00:16:12,280 as you went upstairs. 273 00:16:12,316 --> 00:16:15,066 The roommates explained away the smell saying that it, 274 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,430 really, had only started to smell very recently, 275 00:16:17,466 --> 00:16:19,466 and they're a bunch of bachelors. 276 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,030 They just figured, "Hey, maybe there were some dishes 277 00:16:23,066 --> 00:16:24,326 in the sink with food." 278 00:16:24,366 --> 00:16:27,276 They didn't put two and two together. 279 00:16:27,316 --> 00:16:30,216 Cortez: They definitely asked if I had any problems 280 00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:33,320 or issues with Travis, if we had any sort of argument 281 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:37,370 or if Travis and somebody else had some sort of dispute. 282 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,000 I knew that if the police were to really investigate my alibi, 283 00:16:42,033 --> 00:16:44,053 there would be no issues in them finding out 284 00:16:44,083 --> 00:16:46,273 that I was at work the entire time. 285 00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,380 Velez-Mitchell: Detective Flores quickly says, "You know what? 286 00:16:48,416 --> 00:16:51,176 Who would kill somebody and then live in the same house 287 00:16:51,216 --> 00:16:52,996 without disposing of the body?" 288 00:16:53,033 --> 00:16:56,023 So the roommates are kind of checked off 289 00:16:56,050 --> 00:16:58,220 the suspect list pretty quickly. 290 00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:02,050 Friends indicated that a person that could have done this 291 00:17:02,083 --> 00:17:05,103 and that the police should look at was Jodi Arias. 292 00:17:12,283 --> 00:17:17,103 The body was taken and examined by Dr. Ken Horn 293 00:17:17,133 --> 00:17:19,173 of the Office of Medical Examiner. 294 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,370 Travis Alexander had been killed three times over. 295 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,430 There was a stab wound to the chest area. 296 00:17:28,233 --> 00:17:31,123 Stabbed straight in the heart, stabbed in the back. 297 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:37,070 The next wound was the slashing of the throat. 298 00:17:39,066 --> 00:17:45,076 From ear to ear, 3 to 4 inches in terms of his head, 299 00:17:45,116 --> 00:17:49,316 almost decapitating him, and then for good measure, 300 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:51,380 there's a shot to the forehead. 301 00:17:54,066 --> 00:17:59,216 It's kind of a coup de grace, a final message to him. 302 00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:02,470 That's how I believe the murder scene went down. 303 00:18:07,383 --> 00:18:10,233 One of the most shocking discoveries 304 00:18:10,266 --> 00:18:16,346 was the palm print in blood on the wall 305 00:18:16,383 --> 00:18:21,183 about waist high, and Detective Flores looks at it 306 00:18:21,216 --> 00:18:24,996 and says, "That's likely the palm print of the killer." 307 00:18:25,033 --> 00:18:30,423 Among the blood stain, they find a large blood spot on the carpet 308 00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:36,300 at the end of the hallway, and on the wall, one dark hair. 309 00:18:38,083 --> 00:18:39,433 Who could it belong to? 310 00:18:39,466 --> 00:18:42,116 Hogan: The forensic team takes the blood sample. 311 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:45,280 They take the hair samples, and they send it for testing. 312 00:18:45,316 --> 00:18:50,076 We found a casing that's right over here near the sink area. 313 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 What we were looking for was a .25-caliber, 314 00:18:56,033 --> 00:18:58,453 semiautomatic handgun, 315 00:18:58,483 --> 00:19:02,123 but one of the things that struck both Detective Flores 316 00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:05,480 and me was that they found no handgun. 317 00:19:06,016 --> 00:19:08,196 They found no knife. 318 00:19:08,233 --> 00:19:12,403 They found nothing that would have caused these injuries. 319 00:19:12,433 --> 00:19:14,083 One of the most important parts 320 00:19:14,116 --> 00:19:15,476 of that crime scene investigation 321 00:19:16,016 --> 00:19:20,016 was when they noticed that the bed did not have sheets. 322 00:19:24,116 --> 00:19:27,446 Right away they're wondering, "Where did those sheets go?" 323 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,250 Where could they be? So first place he looks 324 00:19:30,283 --> 00:19:33,133 is the washing machine, and to his surprise, 325 00:19:33,166 --> 00:19:35,176 when he pops open the lid to the washing machine, 326 00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:38,096 there's all of the sheets and the comforter to the bed. 327 00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:44,066 It had been washed, and to his further surprise, 328 00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,220 there's a digital camera in there, as well, 329 00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:49,200 that had been washed. 330 00:19:49,233 --> 00:19:53,203 A digital camera that somebody tried to destroy. 331 00:19:55,383 --> 00:19:58,473 They took it back to the police station to see whether or not 332 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,250 they could actually get some photographs from it. 333 00:20:04,016 --> 00:20:10,176 Mesa police had basically found the smoking gun. 334 00:20:10,216 --> 00:20:13,076 It seemed that Detective Flores had found his killer. 335 00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:20,103 Welcome back to "How It Really Happened." 336 00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:24,083 As Travis' murder case unfolds, Detective Flores anxiously hopes 337 00:20:24,116 --> 00:20:26,016 photographs will be recovered from the camera 338 00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:28,030 found at the crime scene. 339 00:20:28,066 --> 00:20:31,116 In the meantime, he questions Travis' friends, 340 00:20:31,150 --> 00:20:34,370 trying to discover why anyone would want him dead. 341 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,050 The officer comes to know Travis Alexander 342 00:20:37,083 --> 00:20:39,083 as an exceptional person, 343 00:20:39,116 --> 00:20:43,066 a young man rebuilding his life after a traumatic childhood. 344 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,080 Abdelhadi: I know Travis Alexander from his story. 345 00:20:48,116 --> 00:20:50,146 And it was a story he would tell from the front of the room 346 00:20:50,183 --> 00:20:51,253 when he was presenting. 347 00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:53,403 And it was a pretty incredible story 348 00:20:53,433 --> 00:20:56,303 because he did have a hard background. 349 00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:59,283 Hogan: Travis grew up with two drug-addicted parents. 350 00:20:59,316 --> 00:21:02,346 They were very poor, living in Riverside, California. 351 00:21:02,383 --> 00:21:04,053 He had several siblings. 352 00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:05,473 His dad was abusive. 353 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,430 There was drugs laying around the house, 354 00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:09,476 and it was a very poor environment for a child 355 00:21:10,016 --> 00:21:11,166 to be raised in. 356 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,000 With no food, no water, house infested with bugs, 357 00:21:15,033 --> 00:21:18,153 the parents were just on drug binges all the time. 358 00:21:18,183 --> 00:21:20,453 Hogan: She would smack Travis into a refrigerator 359 00:21:20,483 --> 00:21:22,453 until he had bumps on his head. 360 00:21:22,483 --> 00:21:25,173 The children were all afraid of their mother, 361 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,220 and it was a terrible household. 362 00:21:28,350 --> 00:21:30,330 Hall: Your heart would break, why a little child 363 00:21:30,366 --> 00:21:34,026 would go through living circumstances like that. 364 00:21:34,066 --> 00:21:37,416 He went to his grandmother's house one day and just said -- 365 00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:40,250 as a little kid, he said, "I'm not going home. 366 00:21:40,283 --> 00:21:41,453 I'm going to live here," 367 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,450 and finally, the grandmother agreed 368 00:21:43,483 --> 00:21:46,223 and took him and his siblings, 369 00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:50,100 and Norma, the grandmother, was a Mormon. 370 00:21:50,133 --> 00:21:52,153 At an early age, we all ended up moving in 371 00:21:52,183 --> 00:21:54,203 with our grandma one by one. 372 00:21:54,233 --> 00:21:56,323 Hogan: She provided a stable home for the first time 373 00:21:56,350 --> 00:21:59,000 in their lives, and Travis was able to go to school 374 00:21:59,033 --> 00:22:01,223 and learn religion, and he really blossomed 375 00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:03,130 after he moved in with his grandmother. 376 00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:07,076 Hall: He developed his own beliefs in the LDS faith. 377 00:22:07,116 --> 00:22:11,316 He ended up serving a two-year mission for the LDS church 378 00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:15,430 and was trying to be as devout Mormon as he possibly could. 379 00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:20,396 Hogan: He came back to California with a new sense 380 00:22:20,433 --> 00:22:23,283 of confidence, and through church, he was able to 381 00:22:23,316 --> 00:22:26,146 get involved with prepaid legal services. 382 00:22:26,183 --> 00:22:28,033 Skoloff: He sort of picked himself up, 383 00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:29,396 pulled himself up from his bootstraps 384 00:22:29,433 --> 00:22:34,173 and became the man that he was, got involved with this business. 385 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,350 Hogan: Travis found success and was able to make over $100,000 386 00:22:37,383 --> 00:22:39,103 a year in this company 387 00:22:39,133 --> 00:22:41,283 selling prepaid legal insurance out of his home. 388 00:22:41,316 --> 00:22:44,476 Became a real up-and-comer, a motivational speaker, 389 00:22:45,016 --> 00:22:47,076 sort of an idol to some of the younger people 390 00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:48,366 coming up in the company. 391 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Enjoy yourself. 392 00:22:50,016 --> 00:22:52,026 Be happy with where you're at. 393 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:55,350 Velez-Mitchell: Travis believed 2008 would be 394 00:22:55,383 --> 00:22:57,083 the best year of his life. 395 00:22:57,116 --> 00:23:01,226 He wrote, "I will earn more, learn more, travel more, 396 00:23:01,266 --> 00:23:05,096 serve more, love more, give more 397 00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:10,133 and be more than all the other years of my life combined." 398 00:23:11,016 --> 00:23:14,146 But it was not to be the best year of his life. 399 00:23:14,183 --> 00:23:16,303 It was the year he was murdered. 400 00:23:18,350 --> 00:23:21,000 The group of people at the home 401 00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:23,233 that night were Travis Alexander's friends. 402 00:23:23,266 --> 00:23:24,426 They're all questioned by police, 403 00:23:24,466 --> 00:23:28,046 and the name that they kept saying as a group, 404 00:23:28,083 --> 00:23:30,473 one after the other, was Jodi Arias. 405 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,130 The police need to talk with her. 406 00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:40,300 On June 10, 2008, a day after Travis' body is discovered, 407 00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:44,403 Detective Flores and Jodi Arias have a 30-minute phone call. 408 00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:46,033 Arias: I just wanted to offer 409 00:23:46,066 --> 00:23:47,146 any assistance that I might have. 410 00:23:47,183 --> 00:23:48,453 I was a really good friend of Travis'. 411 00:23:48,483 --> 00:23:52,153 We dated for, like, five months, and we broke up, 412 00:23:52,183 --> 00:23:56,153 and we continued actually to see each other for quite a bit. 413 00:23:56,183 --> 00:23:58,403 Flores: When did you guys break up? 414 00:23:58,433 --> 00:24:02,353 Arias: We officially broke up June 29th of last year. 415 00:24:02,383 --> 00:24:04,423 Even though we broke up and were no longer boyfriend 416 00:24:04,450 --> 00:24:07,170 and girlfriend, we decided to remain friends, 417 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,430 but, you know, I kind of feel embarrassed talking about this, 418 00:24:10,466 --> 00:24:12,196 but it was more than that, 419 00:24:12,233 --> 00:24:14,033 but it wasn't boyfriend and girlfriend. 420 00:24:14,066 --> 00:24:17,346 We were intimate, but I wouldn't say romantic 421 00:24:17,383 --> 00:24:19,423 as far as a relationship goes. 422 00:24:19,450 --> 00:24:21,120 Flores: Okay. I know it's kind of embarrassing 423 00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:22,430 to talk about stuff like that. 424 00:24:22,466 --> 00:24:24,216 Arias: I know. 425 00:24:24,250 --> 00:24:26,420 Yeah, and if you can just keep it confidential for now 426 00:24:26,450 --> 00:24:28,170 because, you know, he's Mormon. 427 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,150 I'm telling you this to help in any way I can. 428 00:24:32,183 --> 00:24:34,303 Velez-Mitchell: Jodi insists, unequivocally, 429 00:24:34,333 --> 00:24:36,303 she has not been back to Mesa, Arizona, 430 00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:39,053 since a couple of months earlier in April. 431 00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:41,353 Flores: And that was around April that you 432 00:24:41,383 --> 00:24:43,103 last saw him, right? 433 00:24:43,133 --> 00:24:44,253 Arias: Early April. 434 00:24:44,283 --> 00:24:47,083 Flores: You haven't been back in town since then? 435 00:24:47,116 --> 00:24:48,996 Arias: No, I haven't. No. 436 00:24:49,033 --> 00:24:50,383 Flores: Someone had mentioned your name, 437 00:24:50,416 --> 00:24:52,026 and you'd been back in town for, like, a week 438 00:24:52,066 --> 00:24:53,216 or a couple of days. 439 00:24:53,250 --> 00:24:55,400 Arias: Oh, like, I've been thinking about going there, 440 00:24:55,433 --> 00:24:58,403 so yeah, I definitely was planning on headed down here. 441 00:24:58,433 --> 00:25:00,173 Flores: But you haven't physically been here 442 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,050 since you left? 443 00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:04,033 Arias: Since I moved, no. I haven't. 444 00:25:04,066 --> 00:25:06,066 Skoloff: This guy has been a detective at quite some time, 445 00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:07,270 handled a lot of murder cases. 446 00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,130 At that point, she wasn't the number one suspect, 447 00:25:10,166 --> 00:25:12,046 but she was on his mind. 448 00:25:13,433 --> 00:25:15,323 Casarez: Detectives have few leads. 449 00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:18,050 They're waiting for the DNA results to come back. 450 00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:19,433 That can take time. 451 00:25:19,466 --> 00:25:24,126 But suddenly, they have a big break in the case. 452 00:25:25,016 --> 00:25:27,446 Martinez: The Mesa Police Department had been successful 453 00:25:27,483 --> 00:25:31,073 in obtaining these photographs from the camera 454 00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,350 that the police had found in the washing machine. 455 00:25:37,450 --> 00:25:40,180 I remember Detective Flores coming down to my office 456 00:25:40,216 --> 00:25:44,076 with a binder to show me the photographs. 457 00:25:44,116 --> 00:25:47,026 All the photographs are time stamped June 4th, 458 00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:49,146 so they knew the exact time and date. 459 00:25:49,183 --> 00:25:52,423 The first group was a group of photographs 460 00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:55,330 of Travis and Jodi Arias, 461 00:25:55,366 --> 00:25:58,216 and they were engaged in sexual activity, 462 00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:02,270 and those were taken at about 1:30 in the afternoon. 463 00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:06,050 Velez-Mitchell: Jodi is naked, wearing pigtails, 464 00:26:06,083 --> 00:26:08,373 and there's four photos of her. 465 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,430 One of them is so graphic, 466 00:26:11,466 --> 00:26:13,176 I don't even know how to describe it, 467 00:26:13,216 --> 00:26:16,446 but it leaves nothing to the imagination. 468 00:26:16,483 --> 00:26:19,323 Then there are a couple of photos of Travis, as well. 469 00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:21,420 It seems pretty clear that they've had sex, 470 00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:25,320 and now they're taking photographs of each other. 471 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:29,200 Martinez: The second set of photographs were of 472 00:26:29,233 --> 00:26:34,453 Travis Alexander in the shower sometime around 5:30 P.M. 473 00:26:34,483 --> 00:26:37,033 Hogan: Travis had just gotten a new camera, 474 00:26:37,066 --> 00:26:39,316 and they start taking naked photos of each other, 475 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:42,130 which later escalates to a naked photo shoot 476 00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:45,166 in the shower stall of his master bathroom. 477 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,080 The last picture of him in the shower was somewhat chilling, 478 00:26:48,116 --> 00:26:51,216 in the sense that it's a very close-up shot. 479 00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:53,070 He's looking directly at a camera, 480 00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,280 and everyone can look at the picture 481 00:26:54,316 --> 00:26:55,396 and see something different, 482 00:26:55,433 --> 00:26:57,433 but it certainly appears that he's not pleased, 483 00:26:57,466 --> 00:27:01,026 and, frankly, that's the last photograph that police find 484 00:27:01,066 --> 00:27:04,046 before the murder takes place. 485 00:27:04,083 --> 00:27:06,253 It was a case where you are able to almost pinpoint his death 486 00:27:06,283 --> 00:27:09,353 to the moment because of knowing that time stamp 487 00:27:09,383 --> 00:27:11,283 and seeing the photographs of when he was alive 488 00:27:11,316 --> 00:27:12,396 and when he was dead. 489 00:27:12,433 --> 00:27:16,023 It shows a bloody Travis on the ground, 490 00:27:16,050 --> 00:27:19,230 and you see the killer's pants leg. 491 00:27:23,316 --> 00:27:26,026 They were just photos that we took, 492 00:27:26,066 --> 00:27:29,326 and it was nothing that he nor I ever intended to be made public. 493 00:27:29,366 --> 00:27:32,076 It's something that we intended to keep private. 494 00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:39,230 during the last day that Travis was seen alive 495 00:27:39,266 --> 00:27:42,026 in sexually intimate positions. 496 00:27:44,183 --> 00:27:47,053 The next photos are of Travis in the shower, 497 00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:49,373 posing for the camera, looking straight into the camera lens 498 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,000 as water drips down his face. 499 00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:56,003 We now know that Arias was there on June 4th. 500 00:27:56,033 --> 00:27:57,433 The last group of photographs 501 00:27:57,466 --> 00:28:01,266 were inadvertent or accidental photographs, 502 00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:03,200 and those were the ones that were the most striking 503 00:28:03,233 --> 00:28:07,233 because it was clear that the camera, 504 00:28:07,266 --> 00:28:10,216 because of movement or accidental touching, 505 00:28:10,250 --> 00:28:12,450 had actually taken three photographs 506 00:28:12,483 --> 00:28:15,373 at the time that Travis was being killed. 507 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,070 [ Camera shutter clicking ] 508 00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:21,250 The first photograph in that third group was of the ceiling. 509 00:28:21,283 --> 00:28:25,123 The camera was maybe dropped, and the shutter was clicked. 510 00:28:25,150 --> 00:28:29,100 At that point, I knew the time that the attack started. 511 00:28:29,133 --> 00:28:32,483 A minute later, there's another photo, even more incriminating, 512 00:28:33,016 --> 00:28:37,166 that shows a bloody Travis on the ground. 513 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,280 The second photograph showed Travis 514 00:28:39,316 --> 00:28:41,226 laying on his back, bleeding. 515 00:28:41,266 --> 00:28:43,446 Skoloff: You can see Travis, a portion of his body, 516 00:28:43,483 --> 00:28:46,023 bloodied, on the floor, 517 00:28:46,050 --> 00:28:50,320 and you see a foot and a pant leg in there. 518 00:28:50,350 --> 00:28:53,150 Martinez: The third inadvertent photograph showed the body 519 00:28:53,183 --> 00:28:55,183 as it was being dragged down the hallway. 520 00:28:55,216 --> 00:28:57,166 It was a case where you were able to almost pinpoint 521 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,100 his death to the moment because of knowing that 522 00:29:00,133 --> 00:29:02,433 time stamp and seeing the photographs of when he was alive 523 00:29:02,466 --> 00:29:06,066 and when he was dead. 524 00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:09,080 Martinez: Initially, Arias told the story that when 525 00:29:09,116 --> 00:29:11,466 Travis was killed, she had nothing to do with it, 526 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,300 and the reason she didn't have anything to do with it 527 00:29:14,333 --> 00:29:16,403 was because she wasn't there on June 4th. 528 00:29:16,433 --> 00:29:19,083 After the pictures were developed, 529 00:29:19,116 --> 00:29:21,346 the police knew that she wasn't being truthful to them. 530 00:29:21,383 --> 00:29:23,473 I believe at this point, 531 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,300 all other suspects are being ruled out, 532 00:29:25,333 --> 00:29:28,273 and Detective Flores is down to one suspect, 533 00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,150 and that's Jodi Arias. 534 00:29:30,183 --> 00:29:33,003 I thought at first, "There's no way that Jodi could 535 00:29:33,033 --> 00:29:36,273 do it because she's 110 pounds. 536 00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:39,250 He's solid muscle, great shape. 537 00:29:39,283 --> 00:29:41,153 She couldn't have done it." 538 00:29:42,283 --> 00:29:44,073 Skoloff: Things start to move pretty quickly 539 00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,430 once the evidence starts coming back in. 540 00:29:46,466 --> 00:29:50,146 In early July, a grand jury is convened and indicts Jodi 541 00:29:50,183 --> 00:29:52,233 for first-degree murder. 542 00:29:52,266 --> 00:29:56,166 On July 14th, Detective Flores and two other associates 543 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,320 from the Mesa Police Department 544 00:29:57,350 --> 00:30:01,100 fly from Arizona to Yreka, California, 545 00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:04,033 to arrest Jodi Arias for murder. 546 00:30:05,433 --> 00:30:07,423 Casarez: Once Jodi Arias is arrested, 547 00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:10,000 she's placed in custody, 548 00:30:10,033 --> 00:30:13,473 and that's when Detective Flores begins an interrogation, 549 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,050 and he wants a confession. 550 00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:17,483 The detective wanted to know, why did she do this? 551 00:30:18,016 --> 00:30:19,176 Why did she kill Travis? 552 00:30:35,366 --> 00:30:39,046 Jodi just kept denying, denying, denying that she was there. 553 00:30:55,050 --> 00:30:56,320 She seemed to have no understanding 554 00:30:56,350 --> 00:31:00,120 of her circumstances or what she was involved in. 555 00:32:27,383 --> 00:32:29,153 No matter what he says, 556 00:32:29,183 --> 00:32:31,403 she just sticks to her story that she wasn't there. 557 00:32:31,433 --> 00:32:34,403 The lies really backed her into a corner. 558 00:32:34,433 --> 00:32:37,033 Velez-Mitchell: Jodi Arias' behavior in 559 00:32:37,066 --> 00:32:41,126 the interrogation room is some of the craziest behavior 560 00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:44,416 ever exhibited by anybody who's ever been arrested. 561 00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:47,220 This interrogation just gets stranger and stranger 562 00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:48,450 by the minute. 563 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,200 After presented with evidence that she was there on the day 564 00:32:52,233 --> 00:32:53,373 Travis was killed, 565 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,130 Detective Flores leaves the room, 566 00:32:55,166 --> 00:32:58,366 at which point, Jodi just does some very strange things 567 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,380 for someone who has just been arrested 568 00:33:00,416 --> 00:33:02,466 and charged with first-degree murder. 569 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,250 She kind of talks to herself a little bit like, 570 00:33:05,283 --> 00:33:07,153 "Oh, Jodi, you should have done your hair," 571 00:33:07,183 --> 00:33:08,383 or, "You should have done your makeup." 572 00:33:12,033 --> 00:33:13,453 She is singing to herself. 573 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,480 She stretches around. 574 00:33:24,016 --> 00:33:26,426 She kind of dances, and she does a headstand. 575 00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,080 It was bizarre. 576 00:33:30,116 --> 00:33:31,466 She asked Detective Flores, 577 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,470 "I know this is going to make me sound -- 578 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,220 but is there any way I can freshen up?" 579 00:33:48,066 --> 00:33:51,096 She wants to be able to put on makeup for her mug shot. 580 00:33:51,133 --> 00:33:54,273 She's already seeing herself as a celebrity. 581 00:34:15,366 --> 00:34:17,416 I really enjoy nature and sunsets, 582 00:34:17,450 --> 00:34:21,100 but people and their expressions, 583 00:34:21,133 --> 00:34:22,453 moments, especially weddings 584 00:34:22,483 --> 00:34:25,283 when, you know, you can just see expressions 585 00:34:25,316 --> 00:34:27,316 on people's faces in emotional moments. 586 00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:29,350 I love capturing that sort of thing. 587 00:34:36,383 --> 00:34:39,173 Narrator: Jodi Arias is questioned by detectives. 588 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,120 She says she was not with ex-boyfriend 589 00:34:41,150 --> 00:34:44,180 Travis Alexander the day he was brutally murdered. 590 00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:46,476 The next day, Arias changes her story, 591 00:34:47,016 --> 00:34:49,446 blaming Alexander's death on intruders. 592 00:34:49,483 --> 00:34:52,303 There's overwhelming evidence that she was there. 593 00:34:52,333 --> 00:34:54,373 She can't continue to deny that she was there 594 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,030 because there's photographs, there's tons of evidence. 595 00:34:58,066 --> 00:34:59,196 Eventually, story number one, 596 00:34:59,233 --> 00:35:02,123 "I wasn't there," morphed into story number two, 597 00:35:02,150 --> 00:35:05,220 "I was there, but this is what happened. 598 00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:09,180 Two masked intruders barge in
