489 00:25:35,896 --> 00:25:37,658 That was number one. 490 00:25:37,658 --> 00:25:41,542 Number two is, could I get the Jeep to fall off the jacks 491 00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:46,146 the way they had to have fallen off the way Harold described it? 492 00:25:46,146 --> 00:25:50,751 And the third thing is lug nuts aren't round. 493 00:25:50,751 --> 00:25:52,993 They don't roll. 494 00:25:52,993 --> 00:25:55,155 Did it happen the way Harold said it happened? 495 00:25:55,155 --> 00:25:58,038 'Cause it's a very bizarre sequence of events, 496 00:25:58,038 --> 00:26:00,841 especially for a man who's so obsessed with safety, 497 00:26:00,841 --> 00:26:02,282 as allegedly Harold was, 498 00:26:02,282 --> 00:26:05,365 to jack this car up using an unsafe jack 499 00:26:05,365 --> 00:26:07,848 and then try to change a tire. 500 00:26:10,210 --> 00:26:13,453 Douglas County recreated the events as described by Harold 501 00:26:13,453 --> 00:26:15,215 for the investigation. 502 00:26:15,215 --> 00:26:16,697 Let's try this now. 503 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:21,902 Okay. 504 00:26:21,902 --> 00:26:23,343 Nothing. 505 00:26:23,343 --> 00:26:25,906 So, let me put a little pressure this way. 506 00:26:31,712 --> 00:26:33,594 Nothing. ‐ You can't replicate it 507 00:26:33,594 --> 00:26:35,035 the way he says it happened. 508 00:26:36,717 --> 00:26:37,958 Oh! 509 00:26:45,445 --> 00:26:47,688 We were trying to pull in elements of Lynn's death 510 00:26:47,688 --> 00:26:50,651 into our case. 511 00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:53,614 When Dave Weaver was assigned to the case, 512 00:26:53,614 --> 00:26:56,096 he opened it up as a possible homicide, 513 00:26:56,096 --> 00:27:00,060 and he was looking at it as, is that even physically possible 514 00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:04,224 for someone to crawl under a car to get lug nuts 515 00:27:04,224 --> 00:27:08,188 and then have this jack collapse? 516 00:27:11,872 --> 00:27:14,074 Lora Thomas is the coroner in Douglas County, 517 00:27:14,074 --> 00:27:16,116 and she has a lot of questions about Lynn's death. 518 00:27:16,116 --> 00:27:18,919 So much so that she hired someone 519 00:27:18,919 --> 00:27:21,962 to reconstruct the accident that took Lynn. 520 00:27:21,962 --> 00:27:24,685 After I went through this whole case, 521 00:27:24,685 --> 00:27:29,129 I called Arnie Wheat, and he came to Douglas County 522 00:27:29,129 --> 00:27:32,132 and drove around and looked at the scene 523 00:27:32,132 --> 00:27:34,775 to get a better feel for what had happened. 524 00:27:40,140 --> 00:27:42,142 My name is Arnold Wheat. 525 00:27:42,142 --> 00:27:45,986 Lora asked us to look at this particular death investigation 526 00:27:45,986 --> 00:27:47,307 from the perspective of 527 00:27:47,307 --> 00:27:49,590 a traffic accident reconstructionist. 528 00:27:51,071 --> 00:27:52,753 Accident reconstruction is sort of like 529 00:27:52,753 --> 00:27:54,314 putting a jigsaw puzzle together ‐‐ 530 00:27:54,314 --> 00:27:56,997 you take the pieces of information 531 00:27:56,997 --> 00:27:58,559 and factual information, 532 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,402 and try to put them together to see if they fit 533 00:28:02,402 --> 00:28:06,607 to form a more complete picture of what happened. 534 00:28:06,607 --> 00:28:08,569 Where was the vehicle positioned? 535 00:28:08,569 --> 00:28:10,611 What's the terrain look like? 536 00:28:10,611 --> 00:28:12,773 You look at the gravel surface 537 00:28:12,773 --> 00:28:15,536 that this Jeep was parked on. 538 00:28:15,536 --> 00:28:19,299 There was a grade going uphill from the rear 539 00:28:19,299 --> 00:28:22,142 towards the front of the vehicle. 540 00:28:22,142 --> 00:28:25,265 Why would lug nuts roll uphill 541 00:28:25,265 --> 00:28:27,548 on a gravel surface? 542 00:28:29,309 --> 00:28:31,592 So, let's go ahead and take that tire off. 543 00:28:39,399 --> 00:28:41,962 So, based on the crime scene investigation, 544 00:28:41,962 --> 00:28:45,365 we're going to replicate with this exemplar vehicle 545 00:28:45,365 --> 00:28:47,207 the layout of all the physical evidence ‐‐ 546 00:28:47,207 --> 00:28:48,889 that includes the lug nuts, 547 00:28:48,889 --> 00:28:52,412 the positioning of the bottle jacks, 548 00:28:52,412 --> 00:28:54,454 and then hopefully also replicate 549 00:28:54,454 --> 00:28:58,418 the vehicle's movement off of the bottle jacks. 550 00:28:58,418 --> 00:29:00,260 It'd be ‐‐ Yeah, there you go. 551 00:29:00,260 --> 00:29:02,142 Is that about right? ‐ Yeah. 552 00:29:08,148 --> 00:29:12,593 So, one of the versions that Harold gave ‐‐ 553 00:29:12,593 --> 00:29:17,117 Lynn's here, six feet away from the Jeep. 554 00:29:17,117 --> 00:29:20,681 He takes the tire. He walks to the back. 555 00:29:20,681 --> 00:29:22,563 Puts the tire in the back. 556 00:29:22,563 --> 00:29:25,566 Whatever he did caused the Jeep to fall off the jack. 557 00:29:25,566 --> 00:29:29,209 ‐ But look at the time interval. 558 00:29:29,209 --> 00:29:33,413 From the time he picks up the flat tire, 559 00:29:33,413 --> 00:29:35,536 goes roughly 12 feet to the back corner... 560 00:29:35,536 --> 00:29:38,979 ‐ Yes. ‐ ...to put the tire in, 561 00:29:38,979 --> 00:29:41,421 she moves closer to the vehicle, 562 00:29:41,421 --> 00:29:46,066 then drops the lug nuts, allegedly, 563 00:29:46,066 --> 00:29:49,389 and then gets down on her stomach 564 00:29:49,389 --> 00:29:52,232 and crawls up underneath. 565 00:29:52,232 --> 00:29:54,995 So, I mean, that timing just doesn't make sense, 566 00:29:54,995 --> 00:29:58,158 because it would take more time, I believe, 567 00:29:58,158 --> 00:30:01,361 for her to do all of those activities 568 00:30:01,361 --> 00:30:04,284 than it would for him to come around 569 00:30:04,284 --> 00:30:07,568 and put the tire in the back of the Jeep. 570 00:30:07,568 --> 00:30:11,532 ‐ No logical person would crawl under a rotor that's jacked up. 571 00:30:11,532 --> 00:30:13,814 Especially with her having arthritis. 572 00:30:13,814 --> 00:30:15,576 ‐ Right. 573 00:30:15,576 --> 00:30:19,299 The other inconsistency is both the medical people 574 00:30:19,299 --> 00:30:22,302 as well as the coroner's office, when they did the autopsy, 575 00:30:22,302 --> 00:30:23,864 there was nothing in her fingernails. 576 00:30:23,864 --> 00:30:25,305 There was nothing on her hands 577 00:30:25,305 --> 00:30:28,709 indicating that she was struggling. 578 00:30:28,709 --> 00:30:31,632 You would think, if she was laying on her stomach 579 00:30:31,632 --> 00:30:35,355 and had an axle drop on her back, 580 00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:39,760 that she may have clawed her way or tried to move. 581 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,122 Even if you know nothing about cars and changing tires, 582 00:30:42,122 --> 00:30:45,045 I don't know anybody who would put, basically, a weapon 583 00:30:45,045 --> 00:30:46,527 right above their back. 584 00:30:48,729 --> 00:30:51,892 And I've changed many a tire, 585 00:30:51,892 --> 00:30:54,535 and I've had many a bad back, 586 00:30:54,535 --> 00:30:59,139 so if I was Harold, who allegedly had a bad back, 587 00:30:59,139 --> 00:31:01,461 you wouldn't just pick the tire up and throw it in. 588 00:31:01,461 --> 00:31:03,664 But that's what he said he did, right? 589 00:31:05,345 --> 00:31:06,747 That's my understanding, yes. 590 00:31:06,747 --> 00:31:10,070 Okay, so I'm going to pick the tire up... 591 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:13,153 which is pretty heavy, and I'm going to throw it in. 592 00:31:16,196 --> 00:31:18,158 Okay. 593 00:31:18,158 --> 00:31:20,160 Didn't do anything, didn't knock it off. 594 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,962 Realistically, if you were going to put a tire 595 00:31:21,962 --> 00:31:26,006 in a jacked‐up car, you probably wouldn't throw it in. 596 00:31:26,006 --> 00:31:28,288 You'd probably place it in. 597 00:31:30,971 --> 00:31:32,412 Nothing. 598 00:31:32,412 --> 00:31:34,815 So let me put a little pressure this way. 599 00:31:40,541 --> 00:31:41,782 Nothing. 600 00:31:44,264 --> 00:31:48,108 ‐ Your difficulty in getting the vehicle to fall down 601 00:31:48,108 --> 00:31:51,632 may have resulted in Harold lowering the bottle jack. 602 00:31:51,632 --> 00:31:53,714 ‐ Right. 603 00:31:53,714 --> 00:31:56,236 - ‐ She was unconscious. - Yeah. 604 00:31:56,236 --> 00:31:58,238 And it just knocked it over. 605 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,844 Maybe she was given some kind of narcotic or sedative 606 00:32:03,844 --> 00:32:06,687 that made her more malleable in his hands 607 00:32:06,687 --> 00:32:10,490 that he would have been able to physically place her there. 608 00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:12,012 So she would have had to have been 609 00:32:12,012 --> 00:32:13,493 - in that position, regardless. - Correct. 610 00:32:13,493 --> 00:32:16,376 And for some period of time. 611 00:32:16,376 --> 00:32:18,619 ‐ Right. 612 00:32:18,619 --> 00:32:20,460 Let's try this now. 613 00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:22,863 Lowering the bottle jack... 614 00:32:26,627 --> 00:32:28,228 Oh! 615 00:32:30,951 --> 00:32:32,513 That's it. ‐ That's it. 616 00:32:32,513 --> 00:32:34,074 That makes a lot more sense. 617 00:32:34,074 --> 00:32:36,436 That's something Harold could control. 618 00:32:36,436 --> 00:32:39,279 ‐ You can't replicate it the way he says it happened. 619 00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:42,082 ‐ Our conclusion is Harold could have actually released 620 00:32:42,082 --> 00:32:45,005 that bottle jack, and it could have lowered 621 00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:49,049 directly onto her very rapidly. 622 00:32:49,049 --> 00:32:51,211 Releasing it down is the most controlled. 623 00:32:57,457 --> 00:33:00,100 We needed to build a history of Harold. 624 00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,902 We're not proving that Harold killed Lynn, 625 00:33:01,902 --> 00:33:04,384 but we wanted to introduce Lynn Henthorn's death 626 00:33:04,384 --> 00:33:08,789 into our case if Lynn is a precursor to killing Toni. 627 00:33:17,157 --> 00:33:18,719 This wasn't found out until y'all started 628 00:33:18,719 --> 00:33:21,121 your investigation of Toni's death 629 00:33:21,121 --> 00:33:25,205 that his insurance double paid because it was an accident. 630 00:33:25,205 --> 00:33:26,446 Right. 631 00:33:27,447 --> 00:33:29,690 Harold Henthorn had purchased life insurance 632 00:33:29,690 --> 00:33:32,573 several months prior to Lynn's death. 633 00:33:32,573 --> 00:33:37,417 This policy for $150,000 with a rider on it 634 00:33:37,417 --> 00:33:40,661 that if she died in a "car accident," 635 00:33:40,661 --> 00:33:44,344 it doubled the insurance to $300,000. 636 00:33:44,344 --> 00:33:46,787 When Lora Thomas got our report 637 00:33:46,787 --> 00:33:48,709 and finished her investigation, 638 00:33:48,709 --> 00:33:51,712 she changed the official cause of death 639 00:33:51,712 --> 00:33:54,715 from accidental to indeterminate 640 00:33:54,715 --> 00:33:56,196 on the death certificate 641 00:33:56,196 --> 00:33:59,159 and reissued it. 642 00:33:59,159 --> 00:34:04,324 ‐ What was really important to me was for Lynn's family 643 00:34:04,324 --> 00:34:08,609 to know that the death certificate had been changed 644 00:34:08,609 --> 00:34:12,813 so they would know that Lynn was still remembered 645 00:34:12,813 --> 00:34:15,616 and that she wasn't forgotten. 646 00:34:22,462 --> 00:34:23,664 I interviewed several women that Harold dated. 647 00:34:23,664 --> 00:34:25,265 Some of these women 648 00:34:25,265 --> 00:34:26,747 described the dates they'd been on with Harold, 649 00:34:26,747 --> 00:34:29,830 and they range from minorly uncomfortable 650 00:34:29,830 --> 00:34:31,512 to, "I thought he was going to drive me off the road 651 00:34:31,512 --> 00:34:33,233 and kill me." 652 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,962 After Lynn's death, Harold wants to marry again, 653 00:34:41,962 --> 00:34:46,767 so he does create a profile on ChristianMatchmakers.com. 654 00:34:46,767 --> 00:34:48,088 He's saying he wants romance. 655 00:34:48,088 --> 00:34:50,170 He's saying he wants eternal love. 656 00:34:50,170 --> 00:34:52,452 He's saying he wants a Christian spouse 657 00:34:52,452 --> 00:34:53,814 to share his life with. 658 00:34:55,656 --> 00:34:58,859 He's presenting himself as this successful businessman 659 00:34:58,859 --> 00:35:01,702 with his own business, Resource Development Services. 660 00:35:01,702 --> 00:35:03,303 He's got a business card. 661 00:35:03,303 --> 00:35:05,986 He's got notepads with that on it. 662 00:35:05,986 --> 00:35:09,550 This persona is far from the truth. 663 00:35:09,550 --> 00:35:11,832 ‐ I interviewed several women that Harold dated 664 00:35:11,832 --> 00:35:15,195 between Lynn's death and marriage to Toni, 665 00:35:15,195 --> 00:35:20,040 and every one of them said he was super, super controlling. 666 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,604 ‐ One of Harold's ex‐girlfriends came forward pretty quickly 667 00:35:23,604 --> 00:35:26,927 after Toni died, saying, "This is suspicious." 668 00:35:26,927 --> 00:35:30,050 She told us that she knew Harold and Lynn Henthorn 669 00:35:30,050 --> 00:35:32,452 and was friends with them, and that when Lynn died, 670 00:35:32,452 --> 00:35:34,414 she and Harold actually started dating 671 00:35:34,414 --> 00:35:37,497 pretty quickly after ‐‐ within months of Lynn's death. 672 00:35:37,497 --> 00:35:41,982 And then Harold started controlling her. 673 00:35:41,982 --> 00:35:43,984 She also told us that they had an argument, 674 00:35:43,984 --> 00:35:47,868 and Harold actually pinned her down to a wall 675 00:35:47,868 --> 00:35:50,791 until she agreed that he was correct 676 00:35:50,791 --> 00:35:52,553 and she was wrong, 677 00:35:52,553 --> 00:35:54,635 and she said it scared her, 678 00:35:54,635 --> 00:35:57,678 and she decided she wanted to call it off. 679 00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:03,203 ‐ One woman he dated said that he left sunglasses somewhere ‐‐ 680 00:36:03,203 --> 00:36:06,286 he said, "You go get these sunglasses for me, 681 00:36:06,286 --> 00:36:08,248 and I'll come pick them up at 8:00." 682 00:36:08,248 --> 00:36:09,810 And she went to go get the sunglasses, 683 00:36:09,810 --> 00:36:11,051 but the place was closed. 684 00:36:11,051 --> 00:36:12,212 She goes to work. 685 00:36:12,212 --> 00:36:13,534 Harold calls her 686 00:36:13,534 --> 00:36:15,455 and starts yelling at her on the phone. 687 00:36:15,455 --> 00:36:17,778 Hangs up, and he shows up at her place of business 688 00:36:17,778 --> 00:36:19,419 and is badgering her. 689 00:36:19,419 --> 00:36:23,063 And, finally, her boss had to get Harold to leave. 690 00:36:26,507 --> 00:36:28,709 There's another woman he dated ‐‐ 691 00:36:28,709 --> 00:36:31,231 They go to Estes Park. 692 00:36:31,231 --> 00:36:32,673 She says, "We're sitting in the Jeep, 693 00:36:32,673 --> 00:36:34,354 and Harold says, 'You know, I could kill you 694 00:36:34,354 --> 00:36:35,796 and leave you here. 695 00:36:35,796 --> 00:36:38,278 No one would find you 'till springtime.'" 696 00:36:41,882 --> 00:36:43,804 He drove her home. 697 00:36:43,804 --> 00:36:45,285 She called him that night, 698 00:36:45,285 --> 00:36:47,768 said "I never want to see you ever again." 699 00:36:49,650 --> 00:36:51,652 He shows up at her apartment, 700 00:36:51,652 --> 00:36:53,133 like, at 3:00 in the morning or something. 701 00:36:54,535 --> 00:36:56,777 He's banging on the doors and everything. 702 00:37:01,662 --> 00:37:04,865 ‐ And some of the women he dates find out pretty quickly 703 00:37:04,865 --> 00:37:09,429 that he is extraordinarily focused on their finances 704 00:37:09,429 --> 00:37:10,791 and what they make 705 00:37:10,791 --> 00:37:13,714 and what sort of families they come from. 706 00:37:13,714 --> 00:37:19,720 ‐ He was very interested in how I owned my home. 707 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,643 He wanted to know who paid for it, 708 00:37:22,643 --> 00:37:25,125 wanted to know if it was my house, 709 00:37:25,125 --> 00:37:30,010 and I said, "No, it belongs to me, 710 00:37:30,010 --> 00:37:32,933 but it also belongs to my mom and my sister." 711 00:37:32,933 --> 00:37:37,377 And he was disgruntled by that. 712 00:37:37,377 --> 00:37:40,500 He was interested in my job as an attorney, 713 00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,183 and I don't think he came out and asked 714 00:37:43,183 --> 00:37:45,065 about how much money I make, 715 00:37:45,065 --> 00:37:48,388 but he was certainly interested in where I worked 716 00:37:48,388 --> 00:37:51,391 and how long I had been there. 717 00:37:51,391 --> 00:37:54,074 So, finances were something 718 00:37:54,074 --> 00:37:56,877 that was important to him. 719 00:37:56,877 --> 00:37:59,079 He had these files of these conversations 720 00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:00,521 that he had with these women, 721 00:38:00,521 --> 00:38:01,922 and he would make notes about the women. 722 00:38:01,922 --> 00:38:04,645 And Toni was like, "doctor, Mississippi," 723 00:38:04,645 --> 00:38:07,928 you know, that kind of thing. 724 00:38:07,928 --> 00:38:10,971 It was Christmas of 1999. 725 00:38:10,971 --> 00:38:13,894 And he's like, "I want to tell you about somebody. 726 00:38:13,894 --> 00:38:18,018 I think I kind of might have met somebody special enough 727 00:38:18,018 --> 00:38:21,942 that I'm considering going and meeting her for New Year's." 728 00:38:21,942 --> 00:38:24,184 Toni and Harold meet for the first time 729 00:38:24,184 --> 00:38:25,826 in person on New Year's. 730 00:38:25,826 --> 00:38:27,828 By that weekend, they decided to get engaged. 731 00:38:29,469 --> 00:38:31,792 Within nine months, they're married. 732 00:38:31,792 --> 00:38:33,754 ‐ And I felt like my relationship 733 00:38:33,754 --> 00:38:35,475 with Harold got closer. 734 00:38:35,475 --> 00:38:37,718 After Lynn's death, Harold was actually closer 735 00:38:37,718 --> 00:38:39,600 with the Rishells than he had been before, 736 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,042 and particularly with one person. 737 00:38:42,042 --> 00:38:45,085 He stayed very close with Grace Rishell. 738 00:38:45,085 --> 00:38:46,607 Kevin and I, our marriage, 739 00:38:46,607 --> 00:38:49,610 by February 2009, it was done. 740 00:38:49,610 --> 00:38:52,092 Harold had a whole list of things he felt like 741 00:38:52,092 --> 00:38:55,656 Kevin had failed me emotionally, spiritually, physically ‐‐ 742 00:38:55,656 --> 00:38:58,458 in every way that a man could fail a woman. 743 00:38:58,458 --> 00:39:00,581 He was trying to open my eyes 744 00:39:00,581 --> 00:39:05,105 to what was really happening in the relationship. 745 00:39:05,105 --> 00:39:08,789 ‐ There's several reasons why somebody would kill someone ‐‐ 746 00:39:08,789 --> 00:39:10,991 another lover, money. 747 00:39:10,991 --> 00:39:12,993 Did he have a mistress? 748 00:39:12,993 --> 00:39:15,796 I had gotten cell records, 749 00:39:15,796 --> 00:39:18,478 and one of the individuals that kept popping up 750 00:39:18,478 --> 00:39:20,521 in his cell record was Grace Rishell. 751 00:39:20,521 --> 00:39:22,162 Gracie girl, it's Harold calling you 752 00:39:22,162 --> 00:39:23,604 about 3:00 my time... 753 00:39:23,604 --> 00:39:24,845 Hey, Grace. It's Harold calling. 754 00:39:24,845 --> 00:39:26,446 ...give me a call back... 755 00:39:26,446 --> 00:39:28,128 Gracie girl, it's Harold calling about... 756 00:39:28,128 --> 00:39:31,451 ‐ Harold and Grace texted and called each other 757 00:39:31,451 --> 00:39:34,014 all the time before Toni died. 758 00:39:34,014 --> 00:39:38,498 And we had to ask the question, was Grace his paramour? 759 00:39:38,498 --> 00:39:41,421 Is this why he killed Toni?
