As a customer and customer, you will get all the money.

You can also get a product market, then you can get your first big enterprise.

With KaE, the development of the Amazon is also the advantage of the development of the company. And that's the question as it is. Where the team, like security and compliance, is really worth it. It's long-awaited, it's almost out.

β€œThat's why many startups are happy, and wait for them.”

And if it's not, it's still not worth it. Yet start an alfanta.com. That's something like this is a shock. In April of 2015, Heather Bogel went to work at the World Poll Corporation located in Clyde, Ohio. My name is Sean O'Connell.

I was the leading investigator of the Heather Bogel investigation. She worked with Midnight, which means she would clock in roughly 10, 10, 30 in the evening. She worked her shift, and she clocked out at approximately 6, 17 that following morning. She was less seen leaving the parking lot of the war pool corporation. And then she disappeared.

She failed to pick up her daughter from school, and this was like clockwork.

She never failed to pick up her daughter.

The Sand, that's the kind of sheriff's department tonight, is working to solve a mystery. Where is 28 year old Heather Bogel? Her family is the one that they, within hours, they were post-inscience, putting things on Facebook and all other types of social media.

β€œI think somebody has her, and they need to bring her home.”

Why would they, uh, why do I get an effort? I don't know. And as the minutes and the hours went by, and people became more and more worried because they could not find her back. She doesn't have any enemies that we know of. We just have no idea how this could happen.

She had a lot of chaos going on. The lot of things are going on in her personal life. She was vulnerable at that point.

She's an amazing woman, and she's always there for me, and we might not know we're here for her.

This is solved. The old fashioned way bit by bit tracking down every potentially because you never know when that lead turns into a break.

β€œThe day after she disappeared, I get a phone call from the sheriff's office that Heather's vehicle had been located.”

I had role patrol unlocked the vehicle, and then we popped the trunk, and we saw something that we did not expect to see. I don't think anybody had a clue about the mystery, the intrigue, and the story that was going to come out of the opening of that trunk. A lot of times in law enforcement, we look at things, and we try not to see them for what they are. It's almost as if it's not real. But this one was different, say Sheriff Chris Hilton, what they found inside the trunk of Heather Bogel's car was painfully real.

What did they find in the trunk? They found a beautiful young woman who had been savagely beaten and murdered. That beautiful young woman was Heather Bogel. When you know what she looked like when you saw the pictures of her and to see what was in the trunk of the car, it was as if they were two completely different things. And when you look at that kind of stuff, it sinks in its own.

Her wounds told a harrowing story of torture home, but will you believe awful. And grit says prosecutor Tim Bronn, a lot of defensive wounds on the hand for blocking bringing your hands up protecting. It's more to that tell you, it told me she had thought that she was a physically overpowered by someone, beaten down and then handcuffed. Because of death, two shots to the back, penetrating vital organs under chest. Heather's body was placed in the trunk of her car, curled up in a semi-feetle position, wearing an oversized Mickey Mouse T-shirt.

It looked like it had been posed to create a certain effect. Her hands were coiled up and looked like a child sleeping to some degree. Heather's hair had been chopped off at the scalp. Imagine taking like a pocket knife and just going like this with it. Just picking it up and chopping it off.

And her fingernails cut down to the cuticles, possibly her murderers attempt to destroy DNA, says Bronn.

Somebody had cleaned her up extremely carefully after she died.

Who would want to do this to her?

That's psychopath.

β€œHomer, pray for whiz of an understanding, Lord God, not pray for the family of Heather to deceive and follow up pray for her friends.”

Shocked, frightened and grief struck, the locals turned out in droves, demanding justice for Heather Bogel, and holding benefits for her five-year-old daughter, Mackenzie. The woman who walks out of the world pool factory at 6.17 a.m. Heather Bogel, who is she? A 28-year-old single mother who worked hard at that factory to provide a wonderful life for her daughter.

She was well-liked. With dreams for a better life, Heather had just finished nursing school. She wanted something better than working at World Pool. Not that World Pool was bad, but she wanted some more for herself and for her daughter. But the days leading up to her death were fraught with tension.

She had just failed her nursing board exams and was in the midst of an ugly breakup.

For the past year, Heather had been involved in her first same-sex relationship with a woman she met at World Pool,

Carmella Badea, but they just had a big blow-up. There had been threats made, hadn't they? Yeah, there had been, there had been, yes, the text messages and the phone calls and some of the exchanges were very, very nasty. Lead Detective Sean O'Connell says Carmella was one of the first people he looked at. There was some table over a more altercation between Heather and her girlfriend Carmella that Wednesday.

Heather goes in to work on Wednesday evening and leaves work Thursday morning not to be seen. But after examining Carmella's phone records and speaking to her several times, O'Connell determined Carmella was not the killer. You were comfortable ruling her out, absolutely. He was not so quick to rule out this woman.

Kiana Bohr, a single mother who lived in the apartment complex where Heather's car and body were discovered.

β€œIs it fair to say that your interactions with Kiana Bohr, early on, raised your suspicion about her?”

Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, from her demeanor, from her reluctancy and wanting to talk to us, yeah, absolutely. But even more than that, it was that Mickey Mouse shirt on Heather Bogels' body. There was some speculation that the shirt that was found on Heather Bogel again, it's a red XL Mickey Mouse type t-shirt.

Kiana Bohr was seen to be wearing this same type of t-shirt. Andy says her Facebook postings read like a confession. Reference tier in the police report. Kiana's making statements on her Facebook page that I can't believe what happened just happened. O'Connell says she also makes mention in another post about doing eight to ten years for murder

and pleading insanity. The day Heather disappears? The day that she disappeared, yes, April 9th and 2015. He says he became even more suspicious when he learned that Omar Satchel, a man who served time on home invasion and firearms charges, was in Kiana's apartment the night Heather's body was found.

Omar Satchel very quickly becomes a person of interest to you. He did it. Why? Because of his involvement as far as being in the vicinity of the time of her body being discovered, O'Connell believed Omar knew Heather that he sometimes sold her pot,

but even more importantly, O'Connell says he found a link between Omar Satchel and what possibly could have been the gun used to kill Heather. During the course of my investigation, I find out that Omar may have stolen a small caliber type firearm. Neither the gun nor the bullets were ever found,

but O'Connell claims a source told him that a third accomplice,

a friend of Omar's named K-Ree Jeffrey, dumped the murder weapon. So according to my source, who was standing next to K-Ree and K-Ree, walked up along the river bank and tossed us black bag containing the fire I'm using the homicide into the river. It's ultimately pumped us to launch a dive team into the river

and hopes to recover the bay. Came up empty, came up empty.

β€œSo what would the three of these people have as a motive to kill Heather Bowen?”

I don't know what their motive would have been. O'Connell didn't have enough to arrest them, but continued building his murder case against the three. A case newspaper man Matt Westerhold was watching with interest.

He and his paper had a long history reporting on the detective.

We were concerned because we didn't believe the detective O'Connell

β€œcould conduct a legitimate investigation.”

Westerhold had just found his next big story. Was this bad police work or was he a bad cop? It was both. He was looking for a job with choppy fire and business. And with the checkout with the world, the best conversation.

The checkout with the world, the best conversation. The legendary checkout of choppy fire is just on his website, just like the social media and everything else. This is a music for your ears. Videos of Rift and Vendus, with choppy fire,

can be helped in a real help. And then there's Keanna Bore now. The first time I've seen a lot of people in the world, I've seen a lot of people in the world,

but I've never seen a lot of people in the world.

and I've never seen a lot of people in the world, and I've never seen a lot of people in the world, and I've never seen a lot of people in the world, yeah, absolutely. We probably documented a half dozen different cases where the families involved, you know,

were complaining bitterly about how they were treated by law enforcement, and there was no doubt in my mind that they were botching these investigations. And my guest today is Keona Bore. Westerhold featured Keona's story on his webcast several times.

Do you consider yourself a victim of detective encounters?

I very much do. He was determined to keep the pressure on O'Connell.

β€œWe like to say that's who we are, that's what we do.”

In this case, we turned out to be a consistent, persistent, watched on that didn't give up. Despite the public scrutiny, O'Connell spent a year and two months pursuing his theory, the Keona, Omar, and Kayree acted together to kill Heather Bogle, even in the face of strong scientific evidence

to the contrary. Authorities found DNA under Heather's cuticle. They believed left by her killer. But it didn't come back as Omar Satchel did not. Didn't come back as Keona Bores?

He did not. Didn't come back as Kayree Jeffries? He did not.

So the fact that the DNA under her fingernails

does not belong to any of those three, doesn't rule them out in your mind. But in his report to the prosecutor seeking an indictment,

β€œO'Connell didn't even mention that the DNA did not match.”

An omission that would soon come out in the open. Just one week later, detective O'Connell was taken off the case and placed on leave. I knew the end was coming. He was forced to resign.

He wasn't the only one in trouble. I take full responsibility today. Sheriff Overmire was arrested and sent to prison for stealing drugs. It sounds to me like law enforcement in the Sandeski County Sheriff's department. Not in tip-top shape between O'Connell and O'Connell.

Well, yeah, if you're Sheriff who is the lead officer of your criminal drug task force has an addiction problem, you got problems. O'Connell's bogal file was handed over to the state Bureau of Investigations. What they discovered was not only shocking, says Chris Hilton, who took over a Sheriff.

It was criminal. He attempted to indict people for murder that had absolutely nothing to do with it. Is this a case of a cop being overly ambitious? Is this racism or is this incompetence?

Anything I could say would be pure speculation. Nobody knows the case better than you. What do you think? I'm going to say it's a little combination of everything you just said. Newly elected Sandeski County Prosecutor Tim Braun,

agreed. He opened a criminal investigation that led to O'Connell's arrest and indictment on four felony charges. He lied. He falsified police reports.

He tampered with evidence. He tried to make a case that he didn't have. And he tried to push it through. O'Connell was charged with misleading a public official and destroying, concealing, and tampering with evidence.

You're looking at some serious charges. I'm looking at some very serious charges. Did you mishandle evidence? Absolutely not. You're knowing they make false statements?

Absolutely not. Altered destroy, conceal, remove evidence? Of course not. So where they get in it from? They're getting it from speculation.

That's not how Chris Hilton sees it.

β€œWas there any reason to focus on Kiana Bor after the first day or two?”

I would say no. She had nothing to do with it. And neither he says did Omar Satchel or Carrie Jeffery.

The BCI investigation showed the three suspects never knew Heather.

Never met Heather. Never sold her pot. But Sean O'Connell still stands behind his investigation. Right or wrong? So you can be wrong.

But that doesn't mean you had tunnel vision. I could be detectives around all the time. He would just wrong. I might even hear to say that I'm wrong because the investigation I never had the opportunity to close out.

That job filled to the new sheriff. And he wasn't going to stop until he got it right. I knew it was a solvable case. I just knew it had to be done right. I said we are going to open this up to the point where it just happened.

Every lead, every person, everybody is a suspect until we can eliminate him. And that's what we did. Heather Bogel had been dead for nearly two years when Sheriff Hilton and his team took over the investigation. They had no clue who killed her. But we're positive it was not a random killing.

We felt that whoever did this had something personal against her.

Someone she just had a huge fight with.

Someone who'd written her an angry note found in the car where she laid dead in the trunk.

β€œSomeone like Heather's ex-girlfriend Carmella Badeo.”

To me, she would be a logical person to investigate. I mean, again, when you look at the condition with which Heather was found, there was passion and anger in whatever did that. Carmella, who'd been quickly cleared by O'Connell, went straight to the top of Hilton's suspect list.

So you guys are basically...

I was done, like... It sounds like she was done too. She was brought in for questioning. The last month I'll agree with everybody. It was fucking horrible.

It was rocky. You didn't know what was going to happen. But the Sheriff would soon rule out Carmella when he found a new suspect. Investigators started digging through Heather's social media and Gmail accounts. And suddenly, there it was.

Stored in Heather's GPS records by Google, an electronic trail of coordinates showing Heather's exact movements.

β€œFrom the moment she left work at 6.17 a.m.”

Is this your aha moment? Absolutely.

We knew we had something.

We could at least say definitively this is where she went after she left work that morning. At 6.30 a.m. 13 minutes after leaving work, Heather's phone GPS places her in a trailer home. A few miles from the world pool plan. We find out later that day it belongs to Daniel Myers.

Well, who was Daniel Myers? We had no idea it's time. We find out very quickly that Daniel Myers worked with Heather. We find out that he worked with her that night. We find out that he left approximately the same time that morning.

That's when we went, aha. We got something. Investigators knocked on Daniel Myers door. He was cooperative, but not overly.

He kind of distanced himself from knowing Heather.

They recorded their conversation. Did you know her at all? Very, very little, very little, just more. Very, I mean very limited conversation. One of the things he says is that it really makes the hair stand up.

Why are you still investigating this? What he's asking? This is done. It's over with it's been two years. You guys are a little odd, you know?

No, I know it's co-case. You guys are just, you know, grassman and straws trying to figure out. When I listen to it, I was like, oh my god. This might be our guy. This might be our guy.

And then the clinture was at the end of that interview. They asked for a DNA sample. He's the first person. That said no. Investigators returned two days later with a warrant for his DNA.

To match it against the DNA found under Heather's cuticle. We're going to search for her DNA. Okay. So what we wanted you to do is to be a little more forthcoming to help us narrow this thing down. Because you know what?

We're narrowing down. Okay. Okay. They got their sample. And results came back five days later.

My major came into my office and he says Sheriff at DNA belongs to Danny Myers.

β€œI think we almost wanted to break into tears.”

It was, it was like we have him. We got him. They learned this man who said he barely knew Heather Bogel had contributed $125 and wrote a warm condolence note on her GoFundMe page and made sure people knew he was at Heather's funeral. He signs the registry book at her funeral?

Yes. It's a kind of guy who's trying to look normal. He's trying not to do anything that would trigger in anybody's mind that maybe Danny Myers is just a little different. It turns out Daniel Myers had been hiding in plain sight all along. Shortly after Heather's murder, a whirlpool employee sent an email to detective Sean O'Connell saying she knew someone capable of this crime.

And she's, she point by told us, I was going to tell him I thought it was Danny Myers. But O'Connell already fixated on his three suspects. Never followed up. If you had worked the whirlpool angle a little harder, do you think the annual Myers name might have surfaced? I don't know how we could have worked at any harder.

I mean, what more could we have done? It didn't take Sheriff Hilton very long to figure it out. Just five months after opening the new investigation, he and his team arrested the single father at a summer campground. And the only thing that he ever said was, oh my god, they're here to get me.

Then we took him into custody and that was pretty much the last thing he said...

I think you got a story to tell.

We'd like to hear it, okay?

β€œSearching the trailer investigators never found the gun or bullets they killed Heather.”

But they did find damning evidence. New floorboards bought less than a week after her murder. Meaning what? Meaning we believe we found where she was murdered. In his trailer.

And he would have replaced the sub-flooring because it was covered in blood. Blood, possible bullet holes, any number of reasons you got to cover it up. The trailer yielded other secrets. He liked to keep women's underwear in a safe. Slowly, they began piecing together a disturbing picture of his sexual predator.

A man focused on control, domination, and humiliation. He had videos and of himself with women and other women. He was very disturbing when it comes to his sexual behavior. Sexual fetishes. After Daniel Meyers arrest, ten women came forward saying he raped them.

Not of them went to the police. Before hand and said, this guy at the planet sexually attacked me in this trailer. They were all embarrassed and ashamed by it. Investigators say Meyers picked women he thought would stay silent. And what better way to solidify that than to find ones that are vulnerable.

And Heather Bogel was vulnerable. She was reeling over her nasty breakup with Carmella. And they learned from Meyers she was also upset over a text her brother said, calling her too stupid to pass her licensed practical nursing exam. And here's Daniel Meyers.

Come tell me all about it. That's right. She went to his trailer says bra and expecting a friend. But finding a killer.

β€œI think it happened immediately so she came in the door.”

I think he came on to her sexually. She probably immediately rejected him. I think he grabbed her. I think she punched him in the face. We know he had one crack tooth and one broken tooth that he repaired with superglue.

And that I think he physically overpowered her. Peter in the submission. Handcuffed her. Peter some more. Strip her.

Probably had her on the bed. And we know that because he ended up replacing his mattress at the end of the month after they have homicide occurred.

β€œAnd I think he tortured her for a long time.”

And then I think he shot and killed her. Do you think Danny Meyers could be a serial killer?

I've always considered that a possibility and relatively strong one.

I'm Anna Garcia host of True Prom News the podcast. Every week we bring you in-depth coverage on cases making headlines as well as those that go under the radar. Tune in for murders that defy explanation, mystery, seeking exploration and shocking secrets that will leave you breathless. Each week we honor the victims by going beyond the salacious in our search for justice. Crime never stops and neither do we.

Listen to true crime news available now on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Prosecutor Tim Braun has made a career of putting violent killers behind bars. And says Daniel Meyers seems like a pro. Most people, first time they kill somebody and they're overcome with emotion, they do stupid things. Danny Meyers rationally and meticulously attempted to cover this case up.

That usually takes experience. He seemed to have it down to a science as Braun, cutting down Heather's fingernails and cleaning her body in an apparent attempt to remove DNA evidence. Have I dealt in the past with people who've attempted to destroy genetic material? Absolutely.

And usually not their first radio.

Not their first rodeo and they get good at covering up because they want to do it again. And so when I saw that, yeah, it raised a lot of questions in my mind. Lorian Helly says if Tim Braun is looking for proof, Daniel Meyers killed before, he doesn't need to look any further than her sister, Lee Ann's sluder. You think you should do his murder? Yes.

By Danny.

Lee Ann was Daniel Meyers ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son.

β€œNearly six years before Heather Bogel's death,”

Lee Ann was found with a single gunshot to her chest. This crime scene photograph shows the 22 caliber rifle beside her. Authorities quickly ruled it as suicide. When you heard that word, suicide. No. No way? No.

I just talked to her 12 hours prior. There was no indication whatsoever that she was crying for help or give her me any signal. Even more alarming says Lorian is why Lee Ann had a gun at all. And you, my sister, hated guns. She would not allow to have a gun in her house. That's a giant red fly. Yes. He supposedly told investigators it was for her protection.

And then you're myself protection from what?

Daniel Meyers admitted to giving the gun to Lee Ann for her security.

But Lorian was skeptical of how her sister could use it to shoot herself in the chest with its long barrel. And then leave it lying neatly next to her body. How could she do that with a rifle? Yeah. Impossible.

How could she reach the trigger? Well, that's the issue. A lot would remain unanswered, says Tim Brown. Lee Ann slittered suicide in my opinion was not a properly processed crime scene. In the sense that it was not photographed well, evidence wasn't collected.

It wasn't done correctly. So if they had done gun residue tests on Daniel Meyers' hands in that 2009 investigation,

they would know, unequivocally whether he had shot that weapon.

That sounds like standard operating procedure. Right. This is Synduski County Sheriff's Office, and at that time it was not a professional agency.

β€œI believe the investigators at the time took Daniel in his word that she could herself.”

Do you think if your sister's death had been properly investigated, Heather Boge would be alive? Yes. He didn't hesitate one bit. Investigators recently took another look at Lee Ann's death.

They came to the same conclusion of suicide after determining Lee Ann was physically able to reach the rifle's trigger after all. An undated letter also surfaced. Authorities say this is her handwriting and reads like a suicide note. All I ever wanted was to just die so that the hurt would stop.

Daniel Meyers' relatives say they found it in his home after his arrest. I don't believe it was fully authenticated. I don't understand why he had it for so long. And then all of a sudden it pops up. Case closed.

Done.

β€œIt just sad that, you know, the justice system was on our side.”

I know that he killed her. He knows it. Problem is you can't prove it. Now, Luri Ann is hoping to get justice for her sister through another victim's case. If found guilty of killing Heather Boge, Daniel Meyers could be sentenced to death.

And in your view, your sister's killer would be executed. Yes. Not just Heather Boge's killer. It would be both. How strong a case do you have?

In my experience, we had a very, very good case. Tim Braun has Meyers DNA under Heather's fingernail. The GPS records placing her at his trailer and his history of violence against women. But there's one huge obstacle. Sean O'Connor.

From a trial lawyer standpoint, it was a nightmare. Because you have the original investigator pointing the finger at other people. And that would provide a convenient alternate suspect theory for any defense attorney. So before Daniel Meyers could stand trial, the prosecutor believed Sean O'Connor would have to be discredited once and for all.

Officially ruling out his three suspects. Omar Satcho, Kayree Jeffery, and Kiana Bohr. I just hope what O'Connor did to us doesn't affect Heather's justice. And convicting Daniel Meyers. And they were about to find out.

Tomorrow at this time, I could be at a local county jail getting ready to be booked in. I don't want that to happen. I don't think that should happen. I don't think what I did warns us to happen.

A double cheeseburger, a promise, and a courier for $49.

And it won't take long for matters. All this is worth it for you. The gΓΌnstig makes smart minutes from $49.90 by McDonald's. A unforebindigial price in film and Italian restaurants. It was a stunning change of fortune.

Sean O'Connor once a detective charged with upholding the law. Everybody is now facing a trial for breaking it. Accused of four felonies and connection to his Heather Bogel murder investigation, and which he focused on three innocent people. O'Connor remains defiant.

β€œDo you feel you owe Omar Satcho, Kayiana Bohr, and Kayree Jeffery's in apology?”

Why would I apologize? I mean, if you look at it, if you look at it, how do we know that for sure? But the day of trial was set to begin.

O'Connor finally admitted to a mistake.

He pled guilty to one felony count, tampering with evidence by omitting the DNA results that excluded his three suspects. All I can do now is just kind of hold for the best, not only for me, but for my family when it comes time for a son's in. The former detective arrived at his sentencing hearing with his wife and family by a side,

hoping for probation, but preparing for prison. When I took this investigation, as I've done with many other investigations throughout my career, O'Connor would dress the court in a plea for leniency. I wasn't purposely trying to leave out anything. I was just trying to highlight what I had at that point.

β€œJudge Patricia Cosgrove zeroed in on his failure to report the DNA results.”

Why didn't you include that? You're right, you're right, and I did not include it, and I take full responsibility for that and for what it's worth. I apologize for not doing that. But again, I did that because I was simply trying to get the prosecutor a feel

on why I thought it was these three people.

One of those three people, Kiana Borr finally got the chance to address the man

she says ruined her life. I have lost time with my children, time with my family. I have lost friends, I have lost family. I have pretty much lost every single thing that I've had because of this man, and I'm still trying to get it back.

After listening to all the testimony, Judge Cosgrove took a hard line. I gave him some consideration for his 25 years of service. His military service, his volunteer work, but he has to go to prison. This has to send a message to other law enforcement officers. Hey, when you look at a case, look at all of it.

And when you present a case, present all of it. Today's the day of sentencing, take them into custody. Shuttle Conno was sentenced to two years in state prison. What about O'Conno? The newspaper man who had covered O'Conno through the years

in this case had several others was overwhelmed. (Sigh) The families. It was a moment of vindication for the families that he hurt. Because he hurt them so bad and he could have,

it would have been so easy to just do the right thing. Is Sean O'Conno where he should be in prison? Anytime somebody that wears the same badge that I do gets in trouble, breaks the law, convicted of a crime, they need to pay for it. I believe he is where he should be.

With the O'Conno case, now resolved.

Bronn was finally ready to take on Daniel Myers in court.

He had more than enough to prove it be on a reason without. But within days of the trial starting, Myers derailed the proceedings. You're right. What's going on? He was found face down in his cell. One Tuesday.

Days then incoherent.

β€œAnd what turned out to be a failed suicide attempt?”

Do I think he was trying to commit suicide? I think he was trying to create a medical emergency. By some time? By some time. But time. Finally ran out.

Daniel Myers chose to plead guilty rather than face the possibility of a death sentence. You understand that a plea of guilty is a complete admission of guilt. Yes. I want you to know that you took away a mother and a friend and a love one that no one can ever get back. One time suspect Carmella Badeo spoke directly to the man who tortured and killed her former girlfriend.

Now I want you to know Daniel Myers.

I do not forgive you.

No one in this room can say that they forgive the double.

β€œPeople say, "Sure, how could he do this? Why would he do this to such a young beautiful woman?”

What was he thinking?"

And I would tell them, "This man is a monster."

β€œDaniel Myers will have a lot of time to think about what he has done.”

He'll spend the rest of his days in prison with no chance of parole.

After nearly four years, the people of this county finally saw justice.

So Nuski County is a great place.

β€œI think it's a little better now, and I'm proud of that.”

Heather Bogos' memory will live on in the hearts and minds of the people of San Duski County, who are now free to remember the beautiful young mother she was. And imagine a life that could have been.
