Sharee Miller

This was the first internet murder case.

Back in 1999, our department was in the infancy stage of learning about internet. This captured the nation's attention. It begins with a mysterious shooting. "My mother-in-law, you've landed on the floor, and that's fine." The money was missing, and his wallet was missing.

But the investigation unearths a sinister plot, orchestrated by a master manipulator using the internet to lure in victims. The first chats that they had were pretty mundane, that they quickly turned sexual. Her screen names included just hot to see you, horny, 7, 2, 4, 9.

“It blinds articles are going away, where did this come from?”

That was part of her game. Playing on is emotions. Now, nearly 20 years later, there is more to the fascinating story of the internet's

first murder case, an investigation that helped usher in the modern age of true crime.

"I like you last night, you're so generous, I thought you were innocent." Her conviction was appealed, the court ruled she should get a new triumph. She had a bookline and stanker, and she just kept up, getting away with it. She'd die of the article, she fired a mobile portion I had met. It's the fall of 1999, and residents of Flint, Michigan, are hoping the

new millennium will bring positive change to the area. "Flat was in a lot of recession, there was a lot of people that were struggling at the time.

“General Motors had just picked up and moved, there's a lot of poverty in our area, and there's”

a lot of drugs when you have the drugs come to the violence and the robberies. There was a lot of that at this time in the Flint area. "In early November, 1999, the deputies received a call about a man down at the salvage yard." The 911 call comes in just after 9.30 pm on November 8th, a woman named Judy Miller

is on the line. "It was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was like last, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was like last, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after

6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was

“a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was”

a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was a little bit after 6 o'clock, it was one of the companies that was there was a paramedic, and he quickly assessed him and determined that he had passed away, he's very cold to the touch, it is obvious that Bruce had been laying there for more than a short period of time, we were talking hours at that point, his chair had been tipped over an exubercle wheel off, the telephone was sitting next to him, the way the blood pooled around the

around the head and the chastarya.

At first, it looked like he might have smacked his head

on the smet far-havin heart attack. As officers begin documenting the scene, closer inspection reveals the true cause of his injuries. [MUSIC PLAYING] There was numerous pellet holes in him.

It was obvious that it was a gunshot with a shotgun. Chuck and Judy, obviously, were very upset. At first, they had no inkling of what had occurred. They stayed there that night, so they could be interviewed. There were the ones that kind of gave us

the background on Bruce Miller. [MUSIC PLAYING] Bruce Miller was a lifelong resident of Flint, Michigan. Born in 1951, his early years were a testament to his blue collar roots.

Bruce grew up in the north of Flint. He married his high school sweetheart in 1970. They had two kids together. They had a good life. Bruce worked at General Motors, which

is very common in this town and the people

And that's what Bruce was. Bruce was quiet, kind, didn't spend a lot of money. Didn't need a lot of frills. While Bruce enjoyed success as an auto worker and a father, the same couldn't be said for his marriage.

About six years into that, things went sideways. They divorced.

Bruce tried again with a second marriage in the 1980s,

but that relationship also ended in divorce. By the time he was in his 40s, Bruce had embraced life as a bachelor. He became enamored with NASCAR and wrenching on cars. He was the kind of guy that would buy a Joker to fix up

and just that would be his hobby.

“That's why he ended up buying B&D Auto salvage.”

People would want to fix up a car. Maybe the auto parts stored didn't have it. So they would go to salvage yards, like Bruce's. Bruce's salvage yard was soon doing well enough for him to take on employees.

One of his first hires was 26 year old bookkeeper, Cherie Tribe.

- Cherie was well-liked by her group of friends.

She was super personal, easy to get along with. She was a go-getter. - Cherie was born and raised in the frontier. - She moved out when she was about 16 was on her own. - She got married, started having kids,

ended up being married once more before she met Bruce Miller.

“- After her second marriage ended in divorce,”

Cherie was ready to move on. Despite their 20 year age difference, Bruce and Cherie found they had a lot in common. - She was kind of enamored with him. He was the kind of guy that she'd been looking for

some of that was steady stable.

The kind of person that would be good to her and her kids. (gentle music) - I think Bruce was drawn to Cherie because she's young, she's vivacious, she's charming. Also, she may have complimented him better

because she was talkative, he was not. - What began as a working relationship quickly grew into something more. - They were just like school kids, they were in love. Within a very short period of time,

they were talking marriage.

“He moves her into his house, moves the kids in.”

- Cherie and Bruce started dating in late 1998, and then very quickly thereafter in April of 1999, they were married in Vegas. - Bruce's family was a little bit surprised but they were gonna let him live his life.

And they saw that he was pretty happy with her. - In addition to bookkeeping, Cherie supplemented their income by selling Mary Kay Cosmetics. In early 1999, Cherie turned to chat rooms on the emerging worldwide web

to expand her network of customers. - Cherie had had a computer, Bruce bought for her. She got into it, AOL was really what she was using at that time and she was into it. - Computers were not new, but they were just making it

to the homes, so it was fairly new technology. - Up until that point, we tend to forget, but we didn't have a lot of communication on the internet. Chat rooms were new, so it was a whole different ball game

back then. - By late 1999, Bruce and Cherie found themselves doing well enough for Bruce to start making plans for retirement. - Bruce was on the end of his General Motors career.

He had a small business where he could engage in a happy that interested him, yet makes some money still be involved. And he had a young, somewhat good-looking wife. - Things were looking up for him. - But just seven months into their whirlwind marriage,

their love story would come to a sudden and violent end. Bruce has been found a shot to death at his salvage yard, and Michigan police are at the scene collecting evidence. - The crime land was called,

and they headed in and stunned the timeline of everything,

and the interviews of those people involved so far. The detectives started with Chuck and Judy that were there. - Why were you here? How did you get in?

“What circumstances led you to come here in the first place?”

There were super cooperative. They opened up everything in their lives that we asked them about. This crime occurred between six and about eight o'clock at night. Chuck Miller had been called by Shireen Miller, saying that Bruce hadn't come home yet.

Chuck Miller and Judy Miller got in their car, drove out to a clouds, open the gate, went back there and Chuck discovers his brother. He instructs Judy his wife to call 911.

- As detectives take in the scene,

they observe telltale signs of a potential motive. - Just on his face, it had all the air marks of an arm robbery. The reception desk is right at the front door, and they didn't have a chance to tell anybody

what was going on or call 911. So it looks like they came in, shot him and grabbed him. The money was missing as well, it was missing.

“- Bruce was known to carry about $2000 in his Shireen pocket.”

He used that to buy parts of what not, and that was missing. - So your client tell for that type of business is usually lower income. So you had people that were of low means financially

coming out through on a regular basis.

It was an off-cash business. And if you're a guy that's just scraping by, and you know that you can go get two or three grand, in one shot, that's a pretty good what we call liquor. But as compelling as the robbery theory sounds,

there's a problem. - It wasn't like a 7/11 where people can come off street and rob them of cash. This was off the beaten path. You had to know where this business was at.

- They start processing the scene, and find that there was no signs of a struggle. It appeared that the person

“maybe standing on another side of the corner”

seemed like they maybe had some knowledge of the building. - It's the almost seems that he would have recognized his person robbing him. So we wanted to see if maybe this was someone new ad, known how the business operates

and maybe had been in their report. We'd needed to investigate that further. - Coming up. A grieving widow provides detectives with a potential suspect.

- The updated has sexual relationship. - We're looking at the wrong person. - They're not a big deal. - Well, that's a lot of people are probably wrong now. - But just when it seems the case is nearly solved,

bombshell revelations launched the investigation into cyberspace. - There are like teenagers playing building this relationship, having a ball. They're having online sex.

She's frequently coming back. - But to separate the truth from the lies, investigators must rule out a duplicitous swimwear. - She sent photographs of signograms. - She said that he was part of the mafia and was a piece of it.

- He did what she wanted him to do and then dropped him like a hot potato. - Authorities in Flint, Michigan, are investigating the murder of 48-year-old Bruce Miller. - They've already spoken to Bruce's brother and sister-in-law.

Now, police need to pay a visit to his widow. - Early November 9th, after midnight, officers went to the house. Shree had family already there. They knew something was wrong because Judy and Chuck

had told him something was wrong, thinking that it was a heart attack. However, they've informed her that the death was a homicide. Upon hearing that news, Shree Miller started screaming, fallen on the floor, family rushed in and got around her,

but she was unconsolable. - She was very upset crying. Everyone felt that her reactions were abnormal if someone had lost her husband to do homicide. - Once Shree regains her composure,

she agrees to tell detectives everything she remembers before the shooting took place. - Shree had bad home with kids. She had had friend over Laura E. Wald.

Six o'clock which would be Bruce's normal time

of getting off work.

“She called him, they talked on the phone.”

She tells him that she's gonna order food from Big Brutus, which is a business that would be an easy stop on his way home. - But Shree says that in the middle of their conversation, Bruce suddenly cut the call short.

- Bruce told her that there was a car point in the lot. Bruce thought it was one of his employees returning to work that might have forgot something. He was gonna hurry up and deal with it and told Shree that he would pick up the food.

- Shree became concerned when two hours passed and Bruce still wasn't home. - Shree was in a panic that she couldn't find Bruce.

He wouldn't answer the phone.

- She told Laura that she was gonna go check and see if you picked up the food at the restaurant. Laura E. Wald had actually blocked in for E. Miller's car and so it was just more convenient for Shree to take Laura E. Wald's car.

It was a restaurant that he'd frequent and so they knew Bruce. Instead of know your orders still here, now she's becoming nervous.

“- Shree decided to check on Bruce herself”

by driving to the auto shop, less than 10 minutes away. - She drives up to the B&D auto parts. Observes that the gate next to Saganar Road was secure, but she didn't have her keys with her because those were on her car key ring

which was back at the house. - The gate was locked when they got there which would indicate that Bruce had probably left the building and locked when he left. - Shree gets home with Laura E. Wald's car

then some more calls are made. She had actually called 911 the local hospitals, local police departments to see if something had happened to Bruce but she's also calling Chuck Miller at the time, almost demanding that he goes check on him.

- She knew that point that something was wrong. - Laura confirms Shree's timeline, leading detectives to question who else may have had access to the salvage yard after hours. - We started questioning Shree Miller

“about is there anybody that had a problem with him?”

That point she started pointing out suspects. - Shree worked up the salvage yard. The day of Bruce's murder, she said that a couple of fellas come in.

She had never seen before, made some comments

about her and about a redding ring, local expensive to a point that she was very uncomfortable and asked them to leave. - She gave us a brief description of them and a description of a fan they might have been in.

- She didn't know who they were and did not get a license plate. - The lead fits the theory of a robbery gone wrong. But when investigators suggest that Bruce may have recognized the shooter,

Shree offers up a different name. Bruce's former employee, John Hutchinson. - There was one other person, John Hutchinson, who had worked with Bruce that Shree Miller had kind of pointed the finger at.

- Shree told us that her and John Hutchinson had dated a sexual relationship several years earlier. - According to Shree, even though the relationship ended before she got

together with Bruce, there was still bad blood between the two men. But her past with John wasn't the only source of tension. - Shree mentioned that John had borrowed $2,000 from Bruce and it was slow to pay a man.

- Shree says Bruce also resented John for jeopardizing his business. - The police had been there to the salvage our prior to the homicide concerning some stolen parts or stolen vehicles.

- We actually talked to the adult 15, and they did advise that there was a Vince Witching investigation going on there that John Hutchinson was their primary suspect at that time. A Vince Witching scheme is where you go get a car

that's wrecked. You pay $2,300 for it, you get a title and you get the actual Vince plate with the vehicle. Then you go out and steal a car that's similar. Maybe a couple years newer, maybe less miles.

You take the Vince plate off the junk car, you put it on the stolen car, you have a title for that Vince plate. And sometimes these are luxury cars, they take their $70,000 cars,

and then they sell it for $40,000, it's all profit.

“John Hutchinson actually wasn't working for Bruce anymore,”

but his brother Harold was still there. So the logical place for the adult 15 was to go to the business, start checking the bucks. We thought maybe Bruce was mad at John Hutchinson, and we say, "Hey, I'm trying to run a clean business here,

"I don't need any of this."

- There was a third that maybe Bruce was about

ready to call the police on an attorney man. - We had to, obviously, go down that road, and see it, well, maybe the more of wasn't the $2,000, maybe he won the Siles' him. So we set out to find John Hutchinson.

- Less than 24 hours after the murder of Bruce Miller, his wife Sharie has handed investigators their first solid lead, former employee named John Hutchinson. - When she started mentioning John Hutchinson all in money and he was a suspect in a van switch,

and we don't know at that point if the murder was robbery,

“or was robbery in addition to silence in her witness.”

- Since the shooting occurred around closing time, detectives need to determine if any of the salvage art employees saw John arrive before they left work.

- We know who the last person that talked to Bruce was on the phone,

but we didn't know who the last person was to see Bruce that night. - The last name written on the schedule catches everyone's attention. - The last employee that left for the day was Harold Hutchinson. - We found out that Harold was John Hutchinson's brother.

- On November 9th, myself and another detective, we went out to Harold's location. We got there, knocked on his house, he let us in. - When investigators tell Harold, they want to talk about Bruce Miller's death,

they get another surprise. - When we talked to Harold Hutchinson in early morning of the 9th of November, which was probably about 10 o'clock in the morning, he already knew.

So that our first enclase of how do you know this happened

when it's not been out there? - Harold said he had talked to John, and John said that he had taken care of Bruce. - And then that's when he starts to go into the story about how his brother disposed of him.

He explains that the word disposed of him means homicide. - Harold Hutchinson had said that his brother told him something kind of ambiguous. Where Harold didn't have to worry about getting his tools or a new job or something like that

and that Bruce wasn't gonna be a problem. - We're liking what we're hearing, but we had to take all that with a grain of salt. We didn't know what we had at that point. - Despite the vagueness of John's wording,

Harold tells investigators what he thinks his brother was implying. - I mean, is that he was John, and God means what?

“- He said, did your brother tell you how he killed him?”

- No, he did not. - Did he? - He'll lose to how he killed him. - No one is it now. - The company had been being investigated

for events which didn't be a cause, right? - Yeah. - And your brother was the one I actually doing it. - Yeah. - And I only wish his brother were working for

Bruce, for he's all to steal him from Bruce. - Yeah. (dramatic music) - Obviously, you know, that ties him with what she retold us. - It all makes sense, but it wasn't enough

to run out in arrest, John X. It was enough for us to go out and grab him and conduct an interrogation. - When police arrive at John's house a little after 12 p.m.,

he seems unnervingly calm. - By the time we get to John Hutchinson now it's later in the day, it already been on the news and saw he already knew that there had been a murder. - His reaction wasn't appropriate.

He was a good friend of Bruce's, and he just seemed to be that concerned about it. - John agrees to talk to detectives and accompanies them back to the station. - Once we got him downtown

is when we started asking him more poignant questions about the events which he investigation. - Was there bad blood over this? - Was Bruce mad at you for it? At you know, he might have said few things,

- He said, it wasn't worth killing Bruce over.

- John also confirms what Sheri told them about the money he owed Bruce and their past relationship. However, John claims they already cleared the air. - Don't mind your failure, Sheri Miller.

- Oh, I f*cked her one time. - Oh, I'm gonna go. - I was slept together a couple times and then my wife split up. I wanted to be a more terrible way to do it again.

I wanna go with that. Here I have. - Before I after she got with Bruce before.

“- Now that's how he said she's better at Bruce.”

- No. - John's account of the affair continues to line up

with what Sheri told police.

- He was straightforward with his answers. He read confident. - However, John's easy answer seems suspicious to detectives. - I think that there was a couple of the detectives that this was the guy, you know?

This looked real good. Anytime you've been questioned by the police for a murder, you're gonna be nervous. And he wasn't, and he had an answer for everything that come along.

- At that point, we started talking about the murder. We just let him tell us, you know, that he's not involved in everything. - And after I took a shower, it was still wasn't TV.

The way front of the store came back.

So you never let the hospital know.

- We call it lockin' you into a lie. And now we start hitin' 'em with, hey, Harold said that you called 'em. - The phone calls in between here too.

“Like I dropped a BDC, I dropped the hurl.”

Do you know what Harold told us? I don't got a clue. Harold told us that he said that Bruce was taken care of. So could you have said something like that or not? Yeah, this was pretty serious stuff.

I couldn't have, but I felt like I said it by dead. When I'm not by taking care of those, he's already been paid. 'Cause he wanted me to pay him back. - Here, look at the wrong person.

- There's a lot of things, though. I've had them all before, but later, wrong, now. - His denials were super, super weak. Like you were talking to six-year-old about stealing a cookie, and there's cookie,

don't on their face. Week, like, oh, I didn't do it. - John admitted to morning three shotguns. His home research and those guns were found to take an end evidence.

It didn't look good for him

“with all the other information that was coming up about him.”

- John tells investigators he's willing to do anything to prove his innocence. - He said, "Listen, I'll take a polygraph. "We kind of halted the interview at that point "and set up the polygraph for him.

"You strike by the iron's hop." - That evening, the polygraph operator leads John through a series of questions. - Let me start out with what you're made. Hold her, you know?

So they get a baseline of when he's telling the truth. And they ask him, "Did you kill Bruce Moore?" - Do you know who killed Bruce Miller? Were you there when Bruce Miller was killed? He's answering them, "No, but he's shaking his head, Jess."

Which sometimes means that the person's subconsciously trying to tell you the truth. - After an assessment, investigators receive the test results. - They have where you felt that he failed the polygraph. So I think it was some excitement

for the detectors that were working on. Hey, we're on the right track here. We've got the right guy. - John Hutchinson was no doubt our number one person and he was the person we had focused on at that point.

- Coming up, a funeral becomes the site of a volatile confrontation. - Tree went crazy, screaming, "That's the guy who murdered my husband." - And a tragic suicide leads to a stunning piece of evidence.

- You told me something should happen to me. Look underneath my bed for a brief kiss. - Less than two days into the investigation of the murder of Bruce Miller. - Detectives believe they have a prime suspect.

However, they fear a rushed arrest might weaken their case against John Hutchinson. - Polygraph is maybe one of the last things you want to use in investigation 'cause they're not admissible in court.

- Though, way the business was set up,

there wasn't a lot of forensic evidence to take.

There was no shell casing left.

“We have Harold Statement, and that's it.”

We have no physical evidence. We can't physically prove that he's there. So, there's just no advantage to law enforcement to arrest him at that point to we gather more evidence. We end up taking John Hutchinson home.

- As investigators continue building their case, Bruce's loved ones gather for his funeral. - There's hundreds of people coming in the funeral home, pay their respects. Bruce had all his friends from the shop.

From the business he ran, it was a small town. Everyone kind of knew Bruce. As the day goes on, John Hutchinson in his wife

show up to pay their condolences.

- Bruce's widow Sharie is none too pleased with the surprise guest. Sharie went crazy. Screamin' mommy, mommy, daddy, daddy. That's the guy who murdered my husband,

“Screamin' in a group of people at her funeral.”

Screamin' it out. - With emotions boiling over, Sharie's brother-in-law asks John in his wife to leave. - This group of friends all knew that we had interrogated him, we'd interviewed him, we'd polygraphed him.

- So all these people that were close to Bruce are starting to push John away. After the funeral, thinkin' that we really is the killer, it's just a matter of time before he's arrested. - However, detectives struggle to find any physical evidence

to connect Hutchinson to the murder. - He's difficult to do ballistic with Sharie. You're gonna be able to tell the gauge that there's probably the extent that you're gonna not. - We secured weapons from John Hutchinson's house

none of the more 20 gauges, none of them had been fired, was a dead end. - Investigators follow up on the alibi, John provided

“in his initial interview, hoping it might provide”

a window of opportunity. - In time he's ready to validate alibi and confront a guy that'll go back, track that, and see if he can validate those things. See if he's telling the truth.

- He, you know, gave us an account of what he did that evening, where he'd done, who he was with, and it was confirmed by his wife, and his alibi checked out. - You can't ever eliminate any 100%

but we stopped pursuing him at that point, because we knew where he was at at the time of the murder and we also was able to confirm everything. - When things with John went cold, the whole case kind of went cold for a while.

- It becomes frustrating when you know you have a grieving family and you have no answers. You take it personally when you can't help. That's why you get into police work is to help people through life.

And it's like you have a personal failure if a case goes nowhere and you can't solve it. - Three and a half months into the investigation, the only other lead that two men who harassed Sherry Miller on the day of the murder

has gone nowhere. - There was concern that we may not find out who killed this, especially with some of the information we had about the two men that could've been people passing through town.

And when the argument took place, they killed them gotten a car and drove away. They have no tie to the community when they were seen again. - For investigators at that point, they were back to square one.

They had no leads, no suspect, no, no motive. - Most definitely it's frustrating. We were four months into the case before we actually got a break. - In February of 2000, we get a call from Missouri,

an attorney down there, John O'Cower.

- He basically called and said,

"Did you have a homicide involving Bruce Miller?" I said, "Yeah, he says well, I've had a suicide here and it has some evidence for you." - And once we got the information that we needed, we immediately formulated a plan.

We flew detectives down to Kansas City and that started the whole ball rolling with things starting to fall into place. - The investigation into the murder of Bruce Miller had seemingly stalled out

until a surprise call breathes new life into the case. - John O'Cower was the attorney for a man named Jerry Cassidy. Jerry Cassidy, a committed suicide and left a note that he should go to authorities

- Jerry Cassidy didn't exist

any investigators in Michigan.

“- They're like, "What information do you have?"”

He's like, "I have a brief case that details directions and information and perhaps a motive from why Jerry may have driven out and killed Bruce." - On February 18th, 2000,

Flint detectives meet with Jerry's family including his brother Michael at O'Connor's law office in Kansas City. - We learned Jerry Cassidy committed suicide in the basement, the home, in Missouri,

shot in the head and with the Bible sitting in his lab.

He left this brief case with a note

for John O'Connor to make sure it got to the authorities. And in that brief case was information about the murder of Bruce Miller.

“- Jerry Cassidy grew up in a well-loved family”

in Kansas City. He decided that he wanted to be a policeman then got hired by the Cassidy Sheriff's Department. 'Cause he was so smart, he was quickly promoted to Lieutenant in charge of homicides.

- He loved the job. It was what he really wanted to do that was his life's ambition. - He was married, he had a child, then life kind of hit him. He fell at work and at that point

got addicted to prescription medication. - Then, in 1995, 34-year-old Jerry fell on even harder times. - During that time also, he believed his sheriff of the Cass County was committing a fraud in a homicide investigation.

The harcing in the world is the go-to-honest, powerful sheriff. And he went, told the authorities to head up to the sheriff, and eventually he loses his job.

- That was the job that he always wanted.

But he knew that he couldn't go back out because he couldn't guarantee that anyone would have his back. That was kind of his identity. You know, that and being a husband and a father that, you know, that really defined who he was as a person.

And when that part went away, it's like, "Oh, okay, now what do I do?" - He kind of spirals out of control until he talks to an FBI agent that he knew from working for Cass County and he was a big way to Harris, Cassina.

And hired Jerry to do security there. - He'd moved his family to Reno, but his wife didn't find it as appealing as he did. And she just said, "Our relationship is done." - Jerry was very lonely.

His wife divorced him. You know, he was having a hard time seeing his kids and he just drank, drank, drank, drank. - In 1999, Jerry came back to Missouri seeking the support of his family.

But on November 9th, his downward spiral came to a dramatic climax. - Jerry calls his brother, says, "Listen, I'm going to the hunting cabin. I just got to have some time to think." - Jerry told him if something should happen to me,

“you should look underneath my bed for a briefcase.”

- Michael Cassina's curiosity was up like, what happened, what, saying what was going on? Jerry tells him at that point I've done something that can't be undone. (dramatic music)

- On February 11th, 2000, Michael got tragic news that his brother was found dead from an apparent suicide. - After Jerry was found from his suicide, Michael knew to go get that briefcase. There was a note on the outside of the briefcase,

he said, "Call to Anna Conner." Michael followed the instructions and called John O'Connor, Jerry's lawyer, nothing could have prepared them for what they found inside. - There were three letters with the briefcase.

One was to Jerry's biological son, one was to his ex-wife, and one was to his mother and father. - The one, to his mother and father, detailed why he was doing what he was doing.

and basically said that he had killed someone

in Genese County named Bruce Miller. Cassina said that he had done it, and he had done it in conjunction with a girl named Sherry Miller. It blinds out of this.

“On our corner, boy, where did this come from, you know?”

He was concerned about his own welfare, because in a foreign place officer were going to prison, what would happen to him when he was there, and was evidence that this is why he had committed suicide.

- He basically wanted the family to tell the authorities that he believed that there was enough information in that briefcase to convict, Sherry. - Jerry Cassina knew what he wanted to do when he ended his life.

And that was to make sure, Sherry Miller, didn't get away with this.

- Still to come, an explicit tape offers a crucial connection.

- She's masturbating on camera. - She just absolutely twisted him up emotionally to the point where he didn't see any other out. - And new evidence reveals a mastermind

“who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.”

- She said everything's for me and she grew everybody else. - She had thoroughly convinced him, and anyone else, that she had the money. - I want my power, and I want to leave. Because this is not, today's have completely lost it.

- Authorities in Flint, Michigan, have spent just over three months investigating the murder of junkyard owner, Bruce Miller. - Bruce had been shot in the chest by a shotgun. - This crime occurred on November 8th, 1999.

Between six and about eight o'clock at night, Sherry Miller gave us two or three suspects right off the bat that made sense in the context that we saw the crime scene. - No leads paned out, and the case nearly went cold.

But now, a posthumous confession has led to a stunning revelation.

“- A suicide, 800 miles away would fall right into their laps,”

as a solution to the unsolved murder. - In his suicide note, the self-proclaimed killer, Jerry Cassidy, implicates Bruce's bereaved wife, Sherry Miller.

- It basically said that he actually did the killing

but she sat him up to do the killing. - The note is attached to a briefcase full of evidence. - It was full of computer-printed messages and hard drives and letters that Jerry had written and apologies that he had written.

- As a former investigator himself, he had everything laid out perfectly. That briefcase was a treasure trove of information. - The contents describe an apparent murder for hire, beginning with an online chat log.

- The instant message found in the briefcase was probably about three pages long and it was printed out. - That instant message kind of stepped out everything that happened on November 7th and November 8th

and when he was leaving to come to Flint. - It was lying by lying how to get to Flint, what rose to bring into the junkyard. - She told him where to park, she gave him directions of how to get there.

- It also said for him to get out of there quickly and about the gunshot, not being too loud. - As a damning, I mean, that's it right there. Right in the nutshell, the planning of the murder that conspiracy.

- Once we started getting all this information from the instant message, it's like we've taken something with probably one of the best alibis of a homicide that I've ever had and now making that person our number one suspect.

- It was crazy to think about that. A person 800 miles away had been talked into coming up here, committing a murder, going back and leaving no evidence. How did you get him to commit this murder?

- Investigators must now piece together how a former cop could have been convinced to commit such a heinous crime. - It was preshocking to the old group of guys.

was a massive amount, and there was many, many pieces.

- You know, understand, no one had

“a lot of knowledge of how computers worked in 2000.”

Apparently, yes, that submessage could be faked. If he had some computer knowledge, it wouldn't be that hard. So we had to prove that the incident message was true. - With such serious claims made against Sherry, investigators must be certain of her involvement

before moving forward with an arrest. - They get permission to go back and search the residents of where Jared Cassidy killed himself. They find two tapes in the garbage. Back then, if you wanted to send somebody

a video of yourself, you had a physically make it, put it in the mail, and send it. - When detectives play the tape, they find more than they bargained for her. - One was Sherry Miller, joined Jerry the house,

her kids, saying, "Can you live with these kids?

“These kids are rumbucked, just that I love you so much."”

And the other one was called for Jerry's Eyes Only, and it's Sherry masturbating on camera. Now we have a generic connect from this jerk Cassidy to actually Sherry Miller that's without question, they know each other.

- We were never been able to put this connection

together that 800 miles away was our suspect, who now is deceased without this briefcase. - Coming up, Sherry's true colors emerge. - And it turned to her husband, but how abusive he was.

- She was in a dark place in her life. - Police get to the heart of what could make an honest man kill. She felt she was pregnant with his child. - And in the modern age of online scammers, investigators zero in on a conniving culprit.

- That is not even right. I do not like that stuff. I do not like that stuff.

- Every time she bamboozled him,

“lied to him, manipulated him, it worked.”

(dramatic music) - Michigan authorities have discovered evidence that Sherry Miller used the internet to seduce a casino pit boss named Jerry Cassidy and convinced him to kill her husband.

Their printed online correspondence reveals how the deadly affair began. - When the detectives had gone out to Missouri, they also had seized Jerry's computer and then processed it for information

about what could have possibly led to this crime being committed. And what was the connection? - As they searched the laptop, a digital narrative unfolds through a string

of electronic communications and photos. - Our department was in the infancy stage of learning about the internet in 1999. There was only about 28% of the people that had a computer, so this was new to us.

- Chat rooms, then, were what we have today, texting on our cell phones. It was instant messaging. - For somebody that moved to town and knew no one and working graveyard, it's kinda tough to meet someone

what else are you gonna do? During the time that AOL and you've got mail and all of this was just starting to be available to people. Jerry had somehow stumbled into some sort of a chat room and had been talking to this woman.

- From the timestamps on the messages, it appears that Jerry and Sheri began their correspondence and met in the summer of 1999. - Just three months after Bruce and Sheri were married and four months before Bruce's murder.

- Jerry's computer contained all of the discussions that he had with Sheri. The courtship was a fast and furious one. We're talking less than six months. So it contained months and months of daily emails

that we had to take to prove that in fact, these were the two parties communicating with each other over the computer. So we had to do some cross-checking on whether or not

So again, that required search morons, subpoenas and a lot of investigation.

“We were cross-referencing what the phone numbers were”

that they were using. We were looking into whether or not certain phone calls were actually made that were mentioned in those documents. - We were able to bring a representative from ALL and he was able to say everything matched up

that they were on together at the same time.

- The first chats that they had were pretty mundane,

you know, but they quickly turned sexual and later on this was true. - Sheri's screen names included just hot to see you. Horny, seven, two, four, nine. I want to be laid.

Love me slowly. Sexy kitten, only for you. - There was a lot of playfulness between these two that came out of these chats. They were like teenagers playing,

“building this relationship, having a ball.”

Jerry would sign off his messages. You're full for life, big daddy.

Sheri would sign off, love your breath, Sheri.

- Before long, they turned their fantasies into reality. - Jerry got a message from Sheri that she would fly to Reno under the premise of a Mary K. Cosmetic Conference. - There was a parent post that she was going out there to see and visit him, not for Mary K. conference.

- He gets to the point where the other having sex, she's frequently coming back. They're having online sex. We know on this time frame, she sends them the video. - As detectives continue reviewing the messages,

they observe that by the late summer of 1999, Sheri's messages took on a different tone. - Officer in the turn to her husband,

“but how abusive he was and how he's a member of the mafia.”

Oh, she can get out of this.

- She attracts him with her looks. She attracts him with her sexuality, with her communications, but then she really needs him to become her savior. And so she feeds him.

He's off stories about Bruce being abusive and hitting her, bruising her, and sends him the pictures. - In August, just one month into their courtship, Sheri dropped a bombshell. - She retooled, Jerry, that she was pregnant with his child.

She went on to tell about how Bruce had find out about it. - She tells him the beating caused her to miscarry the child. - We found pictures of her tummy all bruised up and stuff like that. - All of this convinced Sheri that this woman he loved

was indeed troubled. She was in a dark place in her life. He needed to act, he needed to act now. - With Jerry hooked, their conversations turned to plotting Bruce's murder.

- It was why somebody could be compelled to kill for another person. - It was proof of the manipulation in order to draw him in. - Everything's adding up that trees involved in this. - Police begin to hone in on Sheri as suspect number one.

- When detectives look into her personal life after her husband's death, they find even more suspicious behavior. - We continue to talk to Sheri Miller's friends. She was on our radar at that point,

but it wasn't clear what we were looking at. We're gathering information. We're being told that within days of the funeral, Sheri Miller is seen at a small bar in Odisville and we also come to find out

she's gonna get Social Security for herself and for them three minor kids, which was quite a bit of money, was close to $3,500 a month that alone. Then we knew that there was a life insurance policy

that she was gonna get. Shortly after that, she's already got people coming over remodeling the house, taking everything of bruises out of the house. Then it's quick that they wanna hurry up

and sell the business.

but when police go to her home, she is nowhere to be found.

“- She had flown to Reno, and we found out when Sheri”

would be returning home, so we figured we'd just meet her at the airport. - On February 22, 2000, when Sheri's flight lands, investigators are waiting. They tell Sheri they need to ask her a few questions.

- She's cool as a cucumber, she's relaxed. Okay, let's go, I don't, I've got nothing, I've got nothing to hide, let's go. - She voluntarily comes down to the Sheri's department, where Captain Comple takes her to the interview room

and starts talking to her. He's throwing out softball questions, nothing accuse the Tory at that point. And finally gets to the point, do you know a Jerry Cassidy?

- You developed a relationship with Jerry? - No.

“- Isn't it true that you lose for having a real difficult time?”

- No, we weren't.

- We lose never get physical to you anyway, what's going on?

- We learned that she moved in a new boyfriend shortly after his death and turned out to be the swan delivery man, there was to live in food to their home. And that raise a red flag, too. That quickly, moving on to someone new.

She denied sending any new pictures to Jerry. She denied that she told him that she was pregnant. She denied that she was being. Every question that was asked her, she denied it. So we'll let her do that.

And then we brought out each piece of evidence that you send these chats. - She said, "Well, I might have met a Jerry Cassidy, "me a lot of people. "What I'm out for my married gay cosmetics.

“"What about a masturbation barrier, Ted?"”

Now she's trying to backtrack. All he's trying to blackmail me. He was trying to do us, but I didn't do it. - Do you know Jerry Cassidy? - Yes, I do.

I met him out there and talked to him. I'm lying along with the rest of the people out there.

- That is always a turning point in any case

when you catch someone in a line and they know they've been had, they've been caught. - After admitting that she didn't know Jerry Cassidy, she went on to say that Jerry became obsessed with her. It wouldn't leave her alone,

but he very likely could have killed Bruce but didn't do well for her. - But Sherry doesn't have an explanation for the messages she sent. - The only response that she can give, why is it that someone had manipulated and changed

all the sentences in the chat from AOL to make her look guilty. That is not even right, I do not like that stuff. I do not like that stuff, I don't know who changed that stuff, but I did not like that stuff.

- No, I did. - No, this is crazy. No, I want my car and I want to leave. Because this is not, you guys have completely lost it. - She has kind of ghost is no, you're under arrest.

She's real angry, she's just over the top, almost like she was when she was crying at the house, but now mad at us. - The investigation wasn't over yet. We still had feeling the blanks,

but she was charged with murder then. - From there, we had to build a case.

Basically, just checking and cross-checking

every fact in there to show that she was knowingly lying to Jerry and that her goal in this whole process was to basically just use Jerry and Killer husband. But why would they do it? Why?

What is the motive? - Investigators have poured through hundreds of pages of emails and instant messages detailing a murder plot between Cherie Miller and Cherie Cassidy. But with a confessed gunman dead,

they still have their work cut out for them to make the charges stick. - Cherie claimed that anybody could have done that and printed it out and faked it. So we had to come up with a more proof.

investigators decide to fly to Reno to speak with his co-workers and learn more about his relationship with Cherie. - Anyone that worked with him closely was aware of her and said that Cherie was saying that it was by sheer happenstance

that they met in Reno, that she was there on a Mary Kay convention and just happened to meet him and I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. - Cherie's former colleagues at the casino say it all began seven months earlier

in the summer of 1999. - His self-esteem was not so good. You know, losing his dream job and then losing his wife and, you know,

“I think he was just, he was ripe for the picking,”

in my opinion. Jerry's chats with Cherie seemed to give him a new lease on life. - He told us to is just beautiful and she looked like the woman of his dreams and that she was accomplished

and she had several businesses. Soon enough, Cherie showed up at the casino for a visit. Cherie was all scrubbed and shined up and had his best suit on and I'm sure he ironed his shirt five times.

He was so excited to walk around the casino floor and introduce her to all of us. She was all dolled up and her hair was perfectly positioned. The makeup was perfect, a ring on every finger.

“Cherie told us that she was a Mary K. Consultant”

and that she owned a string of like nursing homes for the elderly and that she had quite the cash flow. But we really didn't know who she was. All we knew is what she showed us.

- Her first trip to Reno was two or three days.

She stayed in the hotel. He would have the next two nights off. And we didn't see high nor hair of Jerry or Cherie. But once she left town, he was back at work. Rumors, like quickly in the casino business,

we all knew that they had spent the night together and they'd had a wonderful time in bed. I'm not sure they ever left the hotel room. After that, the relationship appeared to heat up even more.

“She was telling Jerry that he deserved an upgrade”

and that she was gonna make that happen for him. And she was dangling all these wonderful things in front of like options or opportunities or when we get together, we can have this fabulous life

when she came back the second time.

They were house shopping, you know, three, four, five hundred thousand dollar homes. Well, there's no way that Jerry could afford that. She had thoroughly convinced him and anyone else that she had the money.

I was like, no big deal. - When investigators follow up with acquaintances from Cherie's past, they learned that this was a common pattern of behavior for her. - Everyone that we talked to said she was attentive to you,

got along with everybody. In fact, I couldn't find anyone in her personal life other than relatives that she didn't have some type of sexual affair with. All her friends, male or female.

- When Cherie was first dating Bruce,

she tried to portray to him that she had a comfortable life that she was a businesswoman that she owned a nursing home. - In reality, that turned out to be fake. - Everywhere they look, investigators find further evidence of Cherie's lies.

- We did check into the claims Cherie made. The Bruce was part of the mafia and was a piece of it, and we couldn't find anything to confirm that. - The photographs that she sent Jerry, showing how she had been beaten, were pretty good.

I mean, they actually looked like some bruises, but we believe that cosmetics came into play in this case

and brown, and we figured that she probably used her knowledge

“of cosmetics to make it look like bruises.”

- And as investigators keep digging, they uncover something even more shocking. - She couldn't have kids. Cheddar Tubes tight. That was part of her game, playing on Jerry's emotions.

To get him to do what she needed and wanted him to do. - Her whole life was a lie. - She was the master manipulator, and she'd been working on this plan for quite a while. - It all paints a portrait of a woman willing

to do anything to get what she wants. - Cherie was poor when she was brought up. So when she meets Bruce Miller, he has the summons of money, stability, and she's got a job that she goes to in the morning,

she's got a house to go home to at night. - That was not enough for her. She wasn't in the spotlight. She was in a salvage yard. She was taking care of three children.

- She wanted the razzle dazzle. She wanted to mix things up. - Bruce was a stepping stone for her. She probably plotted out. I'm gonna get this guy.

I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna get all of his money and go on and live my life without him. Being set for life.

“- In the late '90s, the internet was largely untamed”

and unregulated and Cherie used that to her advantage. - Cherie knew how to push the buttons on the computer. She was a master at Chad, but what we saw is she became a master at manipulation in person, reinforcing what she said in the chat.

- It was a plot that seemed like it was forming with her to suck Jerry in. - I don't think for one minute, Cherie would ever willingly just go murder someone. She just absolutely twisted him up emotionally

to the point where he didn't see any other out than to defend the woman that he loved. - But once Cherie did her bidding, it seemed like Cherie had no further use for him. Cherie came all the way to Flint, Michigan to commit this murder,

everything's to plan. He goes back, she's kind of blowing him off. Now, they went from 50, 60 emails a day to talking on the phone to being in this chat room to now nothing.

- He did what she wanted him to do and then she dropped Jerry like a hot potato. It was like she wouldn't converse with him online. She wouldn't answer the phones for her to drop him.

“I think he just, that was the last straw for him.”

He just completely fell apart. - He realized with more and more intensity, treeed plating and he thought he had only one option at that point with probably intense humiliation was to end his life.

- He left behind a note, which led us to the briefcase that had all the information that we've already need for a conviction of Cherie Noir. - It's a compelling theory, but prosecutors don't know if it will be enough to get a conviction.

- While they still have this woman in custody and a mountain of evidence against her, they still have to prove it in court.

- Coming up, the internet's first murder trial.

- This trial was carried coast to coast on court TV. I was way worried about losing. She didn't pull the trigger. - Cherie takes the stand, compromising her own defense. - The emails were wrote.

- And they were exactly as written? - Yes they were. - And she sets her sights on a new man. - Everything was about money or sex. That was just mine up to pick up on it.

(dramatic music) - In the fall of 2000, growing fascination with the World Wide Web fuels the publicity surrounding Cherie Miller's murder trial.

- The Cherie Miller case was the first internet murder case.

because someone actually used the internet

“to persuade someone else to kill their spouse.”

- On December 12th, 2000, people across the country tune in to watch the proceedings. - This captured the nation's attention. This was carried coast to coast on court TV. - It was so new, so unique.

- It was kind of a sad tragedy playing out in the courtroom. But you had two families. One family was Bruce's family. He was just an innocent guy. They lost a good man, but you can also say that

about the shooter, which is unusual. They subjected themselves to their son being portrayed as a killer.

- But yet, he's dead because of Cherie too.

They're both victims, in my opinion. - But as public as Cherie's misdeeds have become, prosecutors still have their work cut out for them. - I was way worried about losing. It was a circumstantial case.

She didn't pull the trigger. It was a hard road. - Prosecution had to prove to the jury that this woman sitting in front of them. Was the real killer?

She mastermind, plotted the whole thing. And but for her, Bruce would still be alive. - The task is complex because the case hinges on technology unfamiliar to many in the courtroom.

“- Honestly, when this case started, I had never”

been on a computer.

And so I had to go to AOL, experience what it was like,

emailing, shopping, doing ordinary things. - At the time that I was part of the jury, I didn't know anything about chat rooms. I didn't know anything about meeting people online. And I learned a lot about the internet

and how it works by being in that trial. - To connect the dots of her sinister plan, prosecutors carefully walk the jury through months of communication between Sherry and Jerry. Although the legitimacy of the emails

is still contested by the defense, the story they tell is scathing. - When you read the emails between the two, she had a hook-line and sinker. - And every time she bamboozled him, lied to him,

manipulated him, it worked.

“And she just kept on getting away with it.”

- When it was all said and done, the most bizarre thing that we saw in this was Sherry's manipulation. We believe that she fake her body as being bruised. How she sent photographs of signograms

with the actual dates on them. But no signograms were five and six years old. They were from her previous kids. - The most damning messages are the ones sent the night before the murder.

- They literally wrote out the exact directions and how they were going to murder Bruce Miller. They wrote it online. - I think she'd have got away with it as she not dumped her boyfriend a month later.

- She dumped him and wouldn't talk to him when it call him back. And that's when he committed suicide and the briefcase was found. - But according to Sherry's defense team, prosecutors have it backwards.

They admit the affair took place, but claimed Jerry is the one who framed Sherry. - One of the arguments that was brought up by the defense during the trial is that this empty message was made up.

- We had an excellent expert and he was like, "He also you've got to do us do this, "that and the other, it could be changed, "and reality is not that hard at all." - In fact, turning a call made up an instant message

using Sergeant Eyes Petrovka's name, just to confuse the jury. - The defense was fleeing stuff up against the wall and see what would stick. Because all he had to do was make sure

we could think that anything else could have happened other than Sherry doing this. And there's a lot of reason for us to have reasonable doubt. She never touched a gun. She wasn't there at that night.

There was nothing connecting her to that, really, in a physical sense, other than the internet, the emails. - Several days into the trial,

in her own defense. Against my advice she took the stand,

“she was just too stubborn to listen to my advice.”

And she wanted to roll the dice. She would have a chance. So Sherry lit for that chance. - Sherry got on the witness stand. She thought her charm was gonna get her out of it.

- The gamble backfires when a slip-up cost the defense their argument.

- One of the first questions she was asked

in her cross-examination are all these exhibits true and accurate. Yes, they are. - Okay, including the emails, the emails were wrote. Okay, and they were exactly as written.

- Yes, they were. - The mistake was on her. Once again, that suggests her hubris.

“She thought she could get anybody to believe her.”

She thought that she was gonna sell that whole jury on her little innocent act. (dramatic music) - On December 22nd, after two days of deliberation, the jury finds Sherry guilty.

- She was ultimately convicted of second degree murder

and conspiracy to commit first degree murder. - She was sentenced to life without parole, just as if she had pulled the trigger herself. - I was very relieved at the verdict. I think we all were.

I think we may have lost the case if Sherry had not testified. - However, Sherry's prison sentence does little to curb her behavior. - Sherry started communicating with somebody

when she was in prison and this person wanted to marry her. He could have been at the next victim.

“I mean, that's what you think when you hear something like that.”

And honestly, I felt like somebody needed to go out and for a warm-up, watch your back. (dramatic music) - After four years behind bars, Sherry Miller's story is told again.

In 2005, the Celatia story is featured on the second

season of "Snapped." - Bruce had so many friends who's not real and just couldn't believe why someone wouldn't murder my brother. - Bruce was just totally fine-sided by it all. You know, here he's had, he found somebody,

you know, in the perfect wife. - Two days after, the death, the murder of her husband that she loved, supposedly. She's dancing in a bar, and Otisville, Michigan. I mean, that's not a grieving widow.

- Sherry would, as far as I've understood, do absolutely anything in the bedroom. - We found videos of Sherry Miller finally in herself. - They had this briefcase that had a suicide note

from Jerry Cassidy at explaining that he had killed Bruce Miller. - Jerry Cassidy, in one last desperate act of a life that he had fleshed on the toilet, he sought to take Sherry down with him. - The broadcast forever changes one man's life.

- I watched a lot of SNAP, and up to show a bunch of remiller game on. There was something in her eyes, her voice, I thought she was innocent, she looked lonely and sad, so I reached out with her.

And we didn't cover her, she told me that. - She said, "Do you like to be bent-barred?" And, you know, to communicate with somebody on your side. And now, maybe I go up and visit from time to time, you know. - Their jailhouse correspondence quickly turns into a romance.

- There's a five-six-hour drive from Illinois to Michigan where the person was. - You can hold hands from that spot in. Just to tear up a four-five-hour talk, she was, Bobby W. and, first of all,

and, maybe you feel like you're special. You got Sherry's very quick, so she saw it for money by the way, so I turned it to her. - On one of his visits, they decide to make it official. - I proposed her, she said, "Yes, she sent a picture

to Michigan paper announcing it."

We had married and she would move down to Illinois

and, as it's over, I plan out together.

“- In July, 2009, it looks like those plans”

might come to fruition sooner than expected. Her conviction was appealed on the grounds that the evidence from Jerry and his suicide should not have come in a trial that that was an error by the judge and prejudicial to the jury.

That set her free. Then there was another ruling that said she should get a new trial. - But as soon as she's released, Sherry drops her new suitor. - She's guilty.

That came to everything. I went back and we read letters before I burnt them. She said, "Everything's for me and screw everybody else. Are you here for everything I can't find me out?" And I'll move on to her next portrait.

- With fresh eyes, he sees all the red flags he ignored throughout their courtship. Everything was about money or sex. And I was just mine up to pick up on it. I would say her, "Yeah, 50, 60 bucks.

I couldn't tell you how much total I'd buy to say how much sold. She died a barrel, she's probably the most evil person I've ever met." - Within weeks of the release from her nine-year prison stand, investigators discover that Sherry is back to her old tricks. - When Sherry got out of prison,

she lived with her daughter and it wasn't a surprise that she started a Facebook page and that concern law enforcement. But she's going to be able to recreate her experience with somebody else. - After Sherry won her appeal to set aside the verdict and order a new trial, the generosity county prosecutor's office immediately

appealed that judges decision. It went to a higher court. That higher court ruled that the lower court aired on the appeal and her conviction was not reinstated and she was sent back to prison. - Back behind bars and with her original sentence reinstated,

Sherry finally seems ready to come clean.

“- Her whole life is about getting attention.”

Her appeals had run out. - How do you become relevant again? And me as well admit I did it and then again get the focus on me. - She admitted it in a letter to the judge that the prosecution Marcie Mavery had been right all along.

It was jaw-dropping. - Sherry also said she wanted Bruce to be killed because she was afraid he would find out about her online secret relationship. He would divorce her, leave her high and drive. - But some believe the letter is just another one of Sherry's manipulations.

- There's givers and there's takers and she is a class A taker and she doesn't care who she destroys to get what she wants. - And so no, it's like crocodile tears. I don't believe it for one second. - She's exactly what she could be.

I think she should never get out of prison. I think she comes out of prison. She's not, she's going to be the same as always. She's looking for people to use. - Even though Sherry Miller is going to spend the rest of her life in prison,

I still feel for the victims that she left behind that was unnecessary.

“The Bruce Miller family are victims that will never forget this.”

- Jeracacity, she killed two, left behind his family, his kids.

And she, ultimately, I believe ruin John Hutchinson's life also because he never was able to

get back into the circle of friends that he had made all those years because he was always

told the truth in the beginning, she could maybe come out a better person than she did.
