True Crime Vault: Dial M For Missing

[0:00] Welcome to the 2020 True Crime Vault, where heart-stopping headlines come to life. [0:10] It's the picture of domestic bliss. [0:12] Beautiful house, Newport Coast. [0:15] Inside and upstairs, there's been violence. [0:18] This is now a crime scene. [0:20] Where are the Chadwicks? [0:22] They took her. They took her. [0:24] Who took her? [0:24] The guy broke into my house. [0:26] Might be going to Mexico or somewhere. [0:28] Now we've got a mystery. [0:29] Maybe to the bed. [0:30] I looked at that microphone up and down and thought, here we go. [0:36] Nobody thought they would ever abandon their children. [0:39] Their children were their lives. [0:41] Oh, God, Pete. I've cried all night. [0:44] And it's all leading to one international manhunt. [0:48] We're not going away. Let's get this guy. [1:14] It's the most important holiday of the year. [1:19] Mexicans, it's more important than Christmas. [1:21] That festival underlines your connection with your ancestors, [1:25] family members. [1:26] That you recall, that you knew well, that are buried there. [1:29] It's important. [1:32] And it was in Hot Square, where the Day of the Dead celebration started [1:35] over 500 years ago, that a mysterious expat made his home. [1:41] He was very soft-spoken. [1:43] As I say, he hardly spoke at all. [1:46] He didn't seem to tell anybody very much about his past. [1:49] But he always had the appearance of being a very proper person. [1:52] At night, there's a terrible accident with that man behind the wheel and two locals. [2:15] The accident? [2:16] When she died, very bad. Very bad. [2:21] He knew you and Claudio were very close friends? [2:23] Yeah. [2:24] Did he call you after the crash? [2:26] No. [2:27] Almost as if nothing happened. [2:28] Yeah. [2:29] It was a stretch. [2:30] People who are apt to attempt the expat experience have to be risk-takers. [2:38] But there's something else. [2:41] When you come down here, you can be as invisible as you wish. [2:45] As quickly as he came, that driver is gone. [2:49] But did anyone really see him? [2:50] Did anyone really know who he was? [2:52] Within one day, he packed up everything he owned and just left town. [2:57] Didn't look back. [2:58] Is what happened here the key to unraveling a murder that happened five years ago, thousands of miles away? [3:08] When people imagine California around the world, the image of their picture is Newport Beach. [3:21] You have this eclectic mix of millionaires with multi-million dollar homes, with multi-million dollar yachts docked at their house. [3:28] And it's not unusual. [3:29] To have a Bentley right next to a broke surfer. [3:33] It's a very happy place with palm trees and beautiful people. [3:39] That's, that's Newport. [3:41] And here in this picture-perfect suburb of wealth and beauty live the Chadwick family. [3:48] Peter, QC, and their three sons. [3:51] So, Peter Chadwick. [3:53] Now, Peter, he grew up in England to a wealthy family. [3:57] All the best schools. [3:58] His father was very successful. [4:01] He was a real estate investor. [4:03] And when I say very successful, I mean multi-millions of dollars of income. [4:07] Peter's family moved to the U.S. just in time for high school and he attended the Herodin High School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, where he was actually the indoor track captain. [4:17] Peter went to business school at Arizona State and while he was in college, he met QC. [4:23] QC is actually a very interesting woman. [4:26] She's from Malaysia originally. [4:28] Yeah, her family's very successful. [4:29] She has a brother that has the largest lake. [4:31] She's a techs club manufacturer in Malaysia. [4:36] On their first date, Peter brought QC to the apartment for most of the date. [4:41] So they're all hanging out with the roommates. [4:44] Peter is, I will say, socially awkward. [4:48] He's extremely reserved and quiet and one of the hardest people to get to know that I've come across. [4:57] QC was funny. [4:58] She's sparky. [4:59] She's lively. [5:00] She's incredibly bright. [5:02] You know, opposites as they say. [5:04] Do attract. [5:05] Through college, the romance blossoms and finally they tie the knot. [5:10] They're living in beautiful Southern California. [5:13] They're raising three gorgeous kids. [5:16] And Peter essentially manages commercial and residential properties for his father, [5:22] which doesn't actually require that he go to an office. [5:25] And it's essentially a job daddy gave him sort of thing. [5:28] And so he often enjoyed taking meetings and closing deals right there on the tennis court. [5:35] She and Peter live in a beautiful house, Newport Coast, [5:40] you look at a collage of the photographs and it's the picture of domestic bliss. [5:47] This is where I lived—right here. [5:49] And the Chadwick's lived right across the street there where you see the black car. [5:53] So you saw them all the time. [5:54] I saw them all the time. [5:56] And they were friends. [5:57] We were friends. [5:58] Yup. [5:58] And when the parties came out, they were in the streets and everybody came to them. [6:04] We became fast friends. [6:06] I heard she was a tiger mom. [6:07] Well, you know, around here, probably everyone's to some degree a Tiger Mom. [6:12] But yes, she was on her kids, making sure that they were exposed to everything that would improve their lives, [6:18] whether it was piano lessons, Chinese lessons, athletics, academic competitions, the best schools, the best tutors. [6:26] My son Hawken went to school with Ben, the older son. [6:31] And through that process of going to school together and Boy Scouts, our families became close. [6:36] I mean, they were a very typical Newport Beach family. [6:41] You know, she would always, like, make sure, like, she made fruit for me. [6:45] And, of course, her dumplings that she brought to every occasion. [6:48] She was playing mom to you, too. [6:49] Yeah, absolutely. [6:51] Yeah, no, she was really tiny, but she was a bundle of energy. [6:55] You all traveled to China together. [6:59] Yeah, that was a fun trip. [7:00] Back in 2006, I would have been around nine years old. [7:03] She knew the language and kind of took us around to all these different places. [7:08] Great Wall of China, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an. [7:11] It was a really fun trip, and to be able to do it with my friends was really awesome. [7:17] And it seems perfect, at least on the outside. [7:24] Well, there again, they were very private people. [7:27] You know, even QC was pretty private, at least to the neighborhood. [7:31] So we don't know really what was going on behind closed doors, [7:34] but it sounds like they had a lot of secrets between them. [7:37] So you have emails between you and QC? [7:40] Yes. [7:42] And she... [7:43] She titled some of them, um, Feeling. [7:46] My sense was maybe she didn't want to share her thoughts with Peter. [7:52] Sometimes I feel lost. [7:54] Pete isn't here. [7:56] Otherwise, I will tell him how I feel, and he will laugh at me and said, [8:01] What's wrong with you? [8:04] Yeah, it has been a very tough month, October, for me. [8:08] I can't believe I had to lose both parents in less than two years. [8:14] It is so painful to lose someone that you love. [8:17] I learned my lesson. [8:18] Don't wait. [8:19] I should have taken my whole family to visit Malaysia every single summer. [8:24] Because we never know when death comes. [8:30] QC. [8:31] So, October 10th of 2012. [8:37] And to be a typical fall day for Southern California. [8:41] 70 degrees. [8:42] Bright, sunny day. [8:44] In the late afternoon, the kids got on the bus after school, [8:48] went to the bus stop near mom and dad's home, [8:51] and one of the parents would be there religiously. [8:55] Read my lips. [8:56] They didn't miss it. [8:58] You'd be shocked if they missed it. [8:59] Until the day they missed it. [9:02] When the cops showed up and started to set up a tent, [9:08] then we knew something serious had happened at the house. [9:12] I've really been a big consumer of podcasts in my personal life before, [9:29] but I threw myself into the podcast world with great abandon [9:33] when this opportunity came up to develop a podcast [9:36] for the Newport Beach Police Department [9:38] to further this ongoing investigation. [9:43] Is this mic going? [9:45] And it's... [9:46] That microphone up and down and thought, here we go. [9:49] Okay, stand by. [9:50] I'm Jennifer Manzella, your host for this podcast. [9:54] Episode 1, Something is Wrong. [9:56] Chapter 1, The Boys at the Bus Stop. [9:59] It's a Wednesday afternoon in October. [10:03] It's been a typical autumn day for Southern California. [10:06] In the middle of a residential neighborhood, [10:09] surrounded by homes and spacious yards, [10:11] there's a small private school. [10:13] All the kids in the neighborhood went to a private school [10:15] called Pegasus in Huntington Beach. [10:18] That was miles away. [10:20] Today, just like every other day, [10:23] two brothers board the bus bound for Newport Beach. [10:26] They are 9 and 12. [10:28] And, just like every day, [10:30] they get off the bus to wait for their ride home. [10:33] But, today won't be like every other day. [10:37] Now, later that day, around 4 o'clock, [10:40] one of the neighbors is driving her children home from the bus stop. [10:43] And they notice that Peter and QC Chadwick's children [10:46] are just standing there, right away. [10:51] The antennas go up. [10:52] And she immediately thinks something is amiss. [10:58] The Chadwicks are not the kind of couple [10:59] who forgets an obligation to their children. [11:02] So, she immediately pulls over, scoops them up, [11:05] and takes them home. [11:08] They go to Chadwick's house, knock on the door repeatedly. [11:11] Nobody answers. [11:13] Peter's car is gone. [11:14] QC's car is still parked on the property. [11:16] They notice some unopened packages, [11:19] as if no one's been home for a while. [11:21] QC is a stay-at-home mom. [11:23] Her husband, Peter, [11:25] works from home. [11:26] And there's nowhere else they should be [11:28] at this time on a weeknight. [11:31] They go back to the neighbor's house, [11:33] and they are calling every friend [11:36] to find out where could they be. [11:39] Nobody knows. [11:40] But everyone agrees that it's not like QC and Peter Chadwick. [11:46] The question is, where are the Chadwicks? [11:50] When I heard the news about Peter and QC are missing... [11:54] Officers were called to the couple's multi-million dollar home [11:57] in a gatehouse. [11:57] It was a gated community in Newport Coast Wednesday. [12:00] I told my wife, this isn't good. [12:01] Police say a neighbor saw two of the children at a bus stop [12:04] waiting later than usual for a ride. [12:07] The neighbor was worried enough to call police. [12:12] I think they came at our doors around 9 p.m., [12:15] asked if we had seen either one of Peter or QC. [12:19] And we're like, no. [12:20] What's going on? [12:21] We were very taken back on why all of a sudden [12:24] our neighborhood was flooded with cop cars. [12:28] Nobody knew anything. [12:29] Nobody saw anything. [12:30] Did they get in an accident? [12:33] What could have happened? [12:34] Now it's time for a welfare check. [12:38] The Newport Beach police then proceed to go to the Chadwicks' house. [12:42] When I first arrived, I kind of took a survey of the house. [12:48] No signs of a break-in. [12:51] And the officers go into the home, and it's very neat. [12:57] We were looking for anything abnormal. [12:59] Maybe a note that the boys didn't see or didn't know about. [13:03] And as I walked around, it looked extremely clean. [13:05] The vacuum lines in the carpet. [13:07] There was a lot of family photos. [13:09] You can tell that it appeared that this was a normal, happy family. [13:16] But they start seeing a couple things that look a little out of place. [13:20] There's a meal kind of abandoned in the kitchen, [13:24] as if someone started prepping lunch and didn't finish it. [13:28] So we proceed upstairs, and it was clean. [13:31] It was perfect. [13:32] We made our way to the master bedroom more of the same. [13:35] Our way to the master bathroom, [13:38] that's when it looked like something was suspicious. [13:44] Before I took a step, [13:45] I realized this did not look like the rest of the house. [13:49] I can immediately see the bathroom rug was not neat. [13:57] So the way it works in Orange County, [13:58] as a homicide prosecutor, [13:59] is I actually met my investigator here, [14:01] and we went to the crime scene. [14:05] And master bathrooms. [14:08] Clearly, there'd been violence that had taken place. [14:12] I can see that QC had some makeup out. [14:17] I can see a broken vase along the edge of the bathtub. [14:21] As soon as I saw the blood, you knew there was a story there. [14:25] This is now a crime scene. [14:28] Once they realize that there's nobody in the home who needs help, [14:30] this becomes more of a missing persons investigation, [14:34] with the blood being a definite concern [14:36] that something might have gone horribly wrong. [14:38] We took a step back and went back through the house again, [14:42] trying to find those minute details. [14:45] The family safe is open. [14:48] And it wasn't damaged in any way. [14:50] I couldn't find any passports, no ID, no money left over. [14:54] So something was taken in a haste. [14:57] Interestingly, there were two wine glasses on the counter. [15:04] Isn't it a little weird that she'd be taking a bath right around lunchtime? [15:09] QC and Peter Shadwick are both missing. [15:13] We've got a safe that appears to have been emptied. [15:16] Unprepared lunch, broken glass upstairs, blood upstairs, and two wine glasses. [15:21] Now we've got a mystery. [15:25] We're also calling the coroner's office, the hospitals, friends and family, [15:30] trying to find out, [15:32] if there's any evidence of any of these people being used in this case. [15:34] We were also trying to see if their bank accounts were being used. [15:37] There was nothing that was alarming, [15:39] nor did we get any information in regards to what our next clue should be, [15:43] or what direction we should take the investigation. [15:46] So the oldest son is away at boarding school, [15:49] and the two youngest were here, actually at the police station. [15:53] And when we came back from the scene, [15:55] in the waiting room, we'll never forget the youngest boy, [15:58] looking at the door, his hopeful expression on his face. [16:02] He thought his mom was gone. [16:04] So as I went home for a quick sleep, [16:17] came back early in the morning, [16:18] I remember arriving at the gate shack around 5 a.m. on the 11th. [16:22] We went the entire night with him. We got no leads. [16:26] 100 miles from the Chadwick's home, [16:28] at the San Diego Police Department, [16:30] the 911 emergency line begins to ring. [16:33] It's 5.31 a.m. on Thursday, October 11th, 2012. [16:40] There's a man on the other end, [16:42] who's speaking almost cryptically. [16:44] It's strange, and in a bizarre tone. [16:47] They took her. They took her. [16:49] My dispatch. [16:50] She calls me and goes, [16:51] Hey, Peter Chadwick is calling 911 in San Diego right now. [16:55] I remember kind of just having that jaw-dropping moment of, [16:59] why is he in San Diego? [17:01] Peter says that he's been kidnapped, [17:03] and he has a very strange and convoluted story to tell. [17:16] The next morning, October 11th, [17:18] still no sign of the Chadwick's. [17:20] And it's very, very concerning. [17:23] Around 5.30 in the morning, something very strange happens. [17:28] 911 dispatchers in San Diego get a very bizarre call. [17:33] And it's none other than Peter Chadwick. [17:37] South San Diego, just near Tijuana, [17:41] he walks into this ARCO, and he asks the attendants [17:44] if they can call 911, because somebody has killed his wife. [17:47] And she directs him to a pay phone. [17:49] I have an emergency. [17:52] Yeah, my wife is dead. [17:54] Okay, so where exactly is she? [17:56] What? [17:57] Where is she? [17:58] They took her. They took her. [18:00] Who took her? [18:04] The guy broke into my house. [18:07] He drove me here. He had a friend. [18:09] They've just gone, they've gone in a pickup truck. [18:12] Okay, so your wife is dead then? [18:15] She's dead. [18:16] Okay, so he died in the house, and then they took her corpse? [18:22] Yeah, they killed her yesterday. [18:26] Killed her yesterday? [18:28] I'm getting updates in regards to what the dispatcher in San Diego was hearing. [18:33] All Peter's statements were vague, [18:35] and she was trying to make sense of it. [18:37] At one point, she goes and gets her supervisor to speak to Peter. [18:41] Hold on. Let me get my supervisor on the phone. [18:45] He... [18:47] Yeah, he... [18:48] Okay, what, what? [18:49] He drowned her. He... [18:50] I... [18:51] She drowned. She drowned. [18:52] Her body was stiff, even. [18:56] I've been driving with him. They... [19:00] This 911 call is nothing short of bizarre. [19:05] Just listen to it. Listen to the tone of the man calling. [19:10] What's your name? [19:11] Peter Chadwick. [19:18] Do you want any kind of medication, sir? [19:21] Just Lipitor. [19:22] Because I think they're going... [19:24] They might be going to Mexico or somewhere. [19:25] Okay, but this happened yesterday at 11. [19:27] You're now calling us at 5.30 in the morning. [19:29] I know. I want you to get him. [19:32] And Chadwick appears to know a few potentially helpful details about the kidnapper. [19:39] A man named Juan had kidnapped her and him. [19:42] He keeps rambling on about Juan. [19:45] Okay, what, what? [19:46] He... I... [19:47] Who is he? [19:49] Juan. Juan. [19:50] Juan? How do you know Juan? [19:51] Uh, I picked him up to look at some painting work at the house. [19:56] I brought him to the house. [19:58] After getting the information from my dispatch, [20:00] I immediately sent a team down to San Diego to interview Peter Chadwick. [20:06] His story does not match the 911 tape, [20:09] and now he's given us a more elaborate story. [20:12] And he has a very strange, convoluted story to tell. [20:17] He's fixated on this figure of Juan. [20:22] Who he claims is a day laborer that he has brought into his house to do some painting. [20:28] Peter tells us he met Juan while he was out looking at one of his apartment complexes. [20:34] So during this conversation on the 10th, he invites Juan to his house to give him an estimate. [20:40] They walk into the house. [20:41] Juan walks upstairs to take a look around, and Peter stays downstairs. [20:47] He claims that while he's back in his office on the internet, [20:51] he hears his wife screaming. [20:53] And he runs upstairs. [20:56] And he finds Juan strangling QC in the bathtub. [21:00] And then Juan allegedly took a small, two-inch, dull Swiss Army knife blade [21:07] and threatened Peter with it. [21:09] Juan holds him at bay immediately, [21:11] while still strangling his wife and holding her underwater. [21:15] Juan has attacked his wife, and now Peter gets into some sort of an altercation with this killer. [21:22] But by this time, sadly, [21:23] QC is dead in the bathtub, according to Peter. [21:29] She drowned. She drowned. [21:31] Says to the officers, [21:34] I was weak. [21:35] I could have done more. [21:38] And then Juan allegedly made him wrap his wife's body in a comforter from their marital bed. [21:45] And Peter's story is that he complies. [21:47] And Juan and Peter wrap her in a blanket and put her in the back of their Lexus SUV. [21:52] And then Juan allegedly sat there in the backseat, [21:54] with QC's body, with the knife to Peter's throat, [21:58] and made him drive around for more than 12 hours. [22:02] And then he starts alluding to the fact that he met this guy named Chi. [22:07] And they drive around all over Southern California. [22:10] Who has her body? [22:12] Juan and Chi. [22:14] Okay, so when she died at 11 o'clock, they took her? [22:19] Yeah, yeah. They maybe put her in the car. [22:23] Then, close call. [22:25] He claims that he pulls over on the side of the road, [22:29] and he gets stopped by the California Highway Patrol. [22:34] Maybe Peter's thinking, this is going to save me. [22:38] But the officer let him go. [22:41] Then, according to Peter, after the officer leaves without asking if he needs anything, [22:46] Peter, Juan, and QC's dead body make it about four miles from the Mexican border, [22:52] near an ARCO station, where Juan then meets up with one of his friends. [22:58] He says Chi pulls up, and they move QC's body into the van, and they drive off. [23:04] He just left. He just left. [23:08] He just left from where? [23:09] From the car with me. He told me to sit in the car until 6 o'clock, like 15 minutes ago. [23:17] And he said he was watching. I waited like five minutes, and then I ran over to here. [23:22] And he believes that Chi and Juan are now leaving and driving south into Tijuana, [23:27] and at some point they're going to cut up QC's body. [23:30] And that's the story Peter initially gives us. [23:32] We are searching for Qui Chadwick. [23:35] We do, obviously, based on our investigation, believe that she has been the victim of a homicide, [23:41] and we are searching for her body. [23:44] We were all just sickened by it all. [23:46] You know, I mean, nobody could believe it. [23:48] And now, as reporters, our antennas are going way up, [23:53] because there is now footage of that silver SUV leaving the driveway of the Chadwick home [24:04] on Thursday. [24:05] On the 10th of October. [24:07] Maybe we can attempt to identify Juan, and sure enough, we do find out, yes, [24:11] the California Highway Patrol did stop Peter that day in that car with that license plate. [24:17] Did the officer see Juan? [24:19] You don't earn your stripes as a California Highway Patrolman [24:22] if you don't take that flashlight and go, hmm, what's back there? [24:36] He'd driven several hours to the Mexican border. [24:39] Phone call from a pay phone right at this gas station. [24:45] And what he told me was, [24:46] what he told the 911 operator was pretty shocking. [24:49] He said, she's dead. [24:50] She's dead. [24:51] So this is where the investigation began for the homicide detectives. [24:56] I think Peter got off the freeway here and saw the first place to park. [25:01] So he came to this pay phone and called 911. [25:05] They might be going to Mexico or somewhere. [25:07] We'll need to get him. [25:08] How far are we from Mexico right here? [25:10] The Mexican border, I mean, you can almost see it in the backdrop. [25:14] It's only a handful of minutes away. [25:16] On Thursday, October 11th, [25:20] investigators arrive at the Arco gas station on Del Sol Boulevard in San Diego. [25:26] They accompany Peter Chadwick back to the San Diego Police Department. [25:30] And there, the evidence collection begins. [25:34] Peter is already telling the San Diego Police Department that QC is dead. [25:39] He's talking to them in a very low, very casual, unemotional way. [25:46] They notice scratches. [25:49] Scratches on his face and neck. [25:51] Mmm. [25:52] The plot thickens. [25:53] And they're starting to wonder, what have we got here? [25:56] He has what appears to be a human bite mark on his forearm. [26:00] Either he's the aggressor or he's the victim. [26:05] One thing was noticeably lacking, and that was any concerns about his children. [26:10] They had anticipated that he'd want to know what had happened when no one had shown up to pick them up from school. [26:15] When can I see them? [26:16] And none of those questions really came. [26:18] Remember that Peter called? [26:23] He claims that he asked a man named Juan to come to his house for a paint job. [26:29] Then this man proceeded to kill his wife QC. [26:33] Our investigators had to track down information that would substantiate or negate this story. [26:42] While they're still with Peter down in San Diego, I go back in the house. [26:46] And I'm walking around the house, looking at the house, trying to figure out if they even needed painting. [26:51] His house had been freshly painted. [26:53] The other thing is, when Peter Chadwick describes the man that he brought over to do the painting, [26:58] he said, you know, I drove him in in my Lexus. [27:01] And surely someone would have seen Juan at the manned guard shack at the community where the Chadwicks live. [27:11] We were able to start looking at the surveillance tapes from the gate shack. [27:16] And Peter originally told San Diego dispatcher that she was killed at 11 o'clock. [27:22] And we have Peter's car on tape, leaving by himself at 1.30. [27:27] That was a big revelation in the case. [27:30] But detectives still had to track Peter's movements that day after he left the house. [27:36] Did he stop anywhere? Was he stopped? [27:38] Did he take certain freeways? [27:40] So that maybe we can get some videotape of Peter and Juan in the car so we can attempt to identify Juan. [27:46] In fact, investigators were able to track down footage of Peter's car. [27:51] In fact, investigators were able to track down footage of Peter's car. [27:52] Peter's vehicle at a toll booth on the 73 freeway. [27:56] And judging by an analysis of that surveillance tape, [28:02] it seems there's only one person in that car, and that's Peter Chadwick. [28:09] Continuously asking Peter for follow-up questions. [28:12] And one of his answers is that he got stopped by the California Highway Patrol with Juan in the car. [28:19] A California Highway Patrol officer approached his car because you can't stop there. [28:23] And basically said, are you having a problem? [28:25] He pulled over to make a phone call. [28:27] The officer remembered having that interaction with Peter, and he was certain that Peter Chadwick had been alone. [28:33] There are murder cases where it takes you weeks or months to figure out where somebody's lying. [28:39] This is instantaneous. [28:42] As we continued to look into who Peter was and who QC was, [28:48] we quickly realized there was some turmoil in the marriage. [28:52] This was not the picture-perfect family that everyone kind of thought it was from the outside. [28:57] QC wanted to grow and blossom into the person that she really was. [29:06] And I think Peter wasn't entirely supportive of that. [29:09] He teased her a lot, joked, ridiculed at times. [29:14] Did she give the indication that maybe their marriage was in trouble? [29:18] She indicated that she was wanting to be more independent, and he wasn't very enthusiastic about that. [29:23] Did you get the indication that she was feeling afraid? [29:28] Yes, she didn't say it overtly, but that was my sense, yes. [29:31] She wanted to please him, but he was very controlling. [29:35] So now we know that the portrait of glorious domesticity has some cracks in it. [29:43] In fact, it's really breaking apart. [29:45] On Peter's computer, it was found that he had a lot of search history in regards to Asian porn, Asian massage centers. [29:56] We also had a written letter that appeared to be in QC's writing, in a drawer that we found in QC's closet, [30:04] that had his search history detailed out. [30:08] She had written down 35 different searches on a piece of paper that she apparently found in Peter's computer. [30:19] One that strikes me, how to torture? How to torture? Who looks that up? [30:28] After looking into QC's medical records, we found out that QC had an STD. [30:35] We realized what they were fighting about was Peter Chadwick was having sex with him. [30:40] He was having sex without using any sort of protection, and giving his wife STDs. [30:44] Well, I was shocked when I heard the stories of things on the side. [30:48] I mean, he was the van mom. He drove and picked up the kids. [30:53] He never said anything derogatory about QC. [30:56] They talked to QC's close friends. They heard that divorce had come up as a subject. [31:06] That's something Peter Chadwick never imagined would be in QC's playbook. [31:11] He doesn't want that to happen. [31:14] QC's got tons of money. [31:16] You were starting to learn about a man who was completely different than what you thought before. [31:22] Yeah. Peter was already on his way. [31:24] He had continued to shift and shift and shift, [31:27] and was willing to do whatever he needed to do to keep his life the way that he wanted it. [31:32] We went nine days without a body for a homicide investigation. [31:38] We didn't know where she was. [31:40] We weren't even sure it was going to be a murder case. [31:43] Once we got the phone call and we got the location, [31:46] I sent detectives all the way out there. [31:48] This is it, huh? [31:49] And it was a complete remote area. [31:53] Middle of nowhere. [31:54] Almost into Mexico. [31:56] Peter so far has been sticking to his story, for the most part. [32:16] The major points stay the same. [32:19] Juan. QC's body being loaded into Peter's car. [32:24] The hours of driving. [32:25] Some details change, disappear, reappear. [32:31] In a direct quote from a police report, [32:33] The facts as presented by Peter were not only unsubstantiated, [32:35] The facts as presented by Peter were not only unsubstantiated, [32:36] The facts as presented by Peter were not only unsubstantiated, [32:38] but lacked plausibility. [32:39] but lacked plausibility. [32:41] It becomes clear that, whatever the other details may be, [32:44] QC has been killed and her husband Peter was involved. [32:49] Right around noon of October 11th, [32:52] we placed Peter Chadwick under arrest for homicide. [32:55] Police went to the family's multi-million dollar home [32:58] and found signs of foul play, but no sign of a victim. [33:01] Chadwick, a prominent real estate investor, [33:04] husband and father of three, [33:06] is behind bars awaiting arraignment [33:07] is behind bars awaiting arraignment [33:08] in a California courtroom later today. [33:11] This morning, he stands accused of not only killing his wife, [33:14] Cui, seen here in a family photo on Facebook, [33:17] but possibly hiding her body. [33:19] Mr. Chadwick was in his car for about 18 hours with the body, [33:23] so could be anywhere in Southern California right now. [33:27] And seven days after QC went missing, [33:29] we got a call from Peter Chadwick's attorney [33:32] indicating that Peter was going to give us the location of QC's body. [33:36] Peter Chadwick says, [33:39] he has put her in a dumpster. [33:41] He's telling us that he was in South San Diego [33:44] and he believed it was near a location called Wildcat Canyon. [33:49] It's mountainside and it's canyon roads [33:54] and it's kind of off the beaten path. [33:56] I wanted to investigate where QC's body was found, [34:01] so the San Diego medical examiner, [34:03] Dr. Robert Stabley, [34:05] drove me to Wildcat Canyon. [34:07] Is there a house down there? [34:08] That's it, that's it. [34:09] That's the gate right there. [34:11] Perfect. [34:12] Awesome. [34:14] This is it, huh? [34:23] A little nowhere. [34:26] Yeah, pretty much. [34:30] So it's just smaller than the other one? [34:33] It appears to be a little bit smaller, [34:34] but the same style of trash can [34:37] and the same location that it was in 2012. [34:40] We got to the dumpster where we opened it up [34:45] and right on top is a beautiful purse. [34:48] Then we immediately see QC's identifications in there, [34:53] $20,000 in cash is in there. [34:55] We get to what we see is a, [34:58] this is a green blanket that Peter originally told us [35:01] he wrapped her up in when the kidnapping first took place. [35:05] As soon as we see that green blanket, [35:08] we now know QC's body's going to be in this dumpster. [35:14] When you pulled up here, what did you see? [35:16] There was a body. [35:18] We could tell because there were extremities exposed. [35:21] She had extensive wounds about her head, [35:25] her torso, and all four extremities. [35:28] And my initial impression is that she met [35:31] with some type of trauma shortly before her death. [35:35] Authorities confirm the body discovered [35:37] inside this lakeside dumpster yesterday afternoon [35:40] is that of Kwee Chadwick. [35:42] What exactly did you find when you began to do the autopsy? [35:50] The injuries that I've already described were confirmed. [35:54] There was also evidence of strangulation. [35:57] She had significant hemorrhages in the muscles [36:01] on both sides of her neck. [36:03] She had bruises about her face. [36:05] She had an abrasion on her chin, [36:07] indicating that she may have had her chin down, [36:09] trying to protect her airway. [36:11] It was extremely violent. [36:14] What do you think really happened that day? [36:16] I believe she put up a good fight, [36:19] was significantly traumatized with blunt force injuries, [36:23] and then the ultimate assault was strangulation. [36:26] It was just horrific, awful. [36:28] It's just hard to believe. [36:32] Arguing and fighting with somebody is one thing. [36:35] For it to turn physical is another. [36:38] To take away your children's mother, [36:42] to continue to torture her, essentially, [36:44] I mean, you watch that person struggle and fight. [36:47] It's particularly depraved. [36:49] Now we think the investigation's in the bag, [36:54] he's going to go to prison for the homicide. [36:57] On Monday, Chadwick pleaded not guilty to murder charges. [37:00] Because he had no criminal history [37:02] and because of having the three children [37:06] who could be believed to be a tie to him to stay local, [37:11] he was allowed to post bail, [37:13] which in the California system was set at a million dollars. [37:16] Most people do not have the resources to do that. [37:18] Peter Chadwick clearly did. [37:20] The conditions on his bail essentially were [37:22] do not leave the country, have no contact [37:24] with certain members of the family, [37:26] and we took his passport to reduce his flight risk potential. [37:29] So there he is in Santa Barbara staying with his dad. [37:32] He has a relationship with his kids, [37:34] and for two years he shows up for hearings. [37:37] There was zero indication that anything was wrong. [37:39] He's making his court appearances [37:41] until one day he does not. [37:43] And prior to the court date, [37:45] Matt calls me and goes, [37:47] Peter's gone. [37:48] I honestly was kind of like, [37:50] who didn't see this coming? [37:51] He had a safe deposit box, [37:53] and that deposit box was emptied. [37:55] And now it's very clear to everyone [37:57] that Peter Chadwick has become a fugitive from justice. [38:00] So we immediately set off on a manhunt. [38:03] There are all kinds of places [38:06] that Peter could pick [38:08] because he had access to money. [38:10] He could be anywhere. [38:12] In the meantime, Peter Chadwick, [38:15] unknown to the police, [38:16] is thousands of miles away. [38:18] Wait until you hear what our team uncovered [38:21] investigating this one man. [38:25] As soon as I saw the blood, [38:33] a broken vase, [38:34] you knew there was a story there. [38:36] This is now a crime scene. [38:39] This story's really never been told before. [38:41] Yeah, my wife, my wife's dead. [38:43] Where exactly is she? [38:45] They took her, they took her. [38:47] Bad, bad funny. [38:48] Bad, bad funny. [38:51] We are searching for Quee Chadwick. [38:53] We do believe that she has been the victim of a homicide. [38:56] How do we know that the portrait [39:01] of glorious domesticity has some cracks in it? [39:07] How to torture? [39:08] Who looks that up? [39:09] You're starting to learn about a man [39:11] who's completely different than what you thought before. [39:13] He's willing to do whatever he needed to do [39:15] to keep his life the way that he wanted it. [39:18] There was so much hard work put into the investigation [39:21] to identify him as the person responsible for killing QC. [39:24] Peter, we are coming for you. [39:33] This begins your countdown to capture. [39:35] Bad, bad funny. [39:37] Bad, bad funny. [39:40] Manhunt is underway tonight [39:47] for an Orange County murder suspect [39:49] who has vanished without a trace. [39:51] After not showing up to the court [39:53] to face murder charges accusing him [39:55] of killing his wife QC [39:57] and leaving her body in a dumpster, [39:59] authorities quickly realize that Peter Chadwick [40:02] is on the run and he's once again [40:04] making headline news. [40:06] A Newport Beach businessman has jumped bail. [40:08] Where is Peter Chadwick? [40:09] We start talking to Peter's dad [40:14] and asking him what's been going on. [40:16] Where is Peter? [40:17] And Peter's dad just basically indicates [40:19] that Peter was getting scared, [40:21] that he was suicidal. [40:22] He called me. [40:23] Well, when he was let out on bail, [40:26] that particular moment he seemed suicidal. [40:28] Seriously? [40:29] Yeah. [40:30] He never confessed to me, [40:31] but he would say stuff. [40:33] And I said, Peter, whatever happens, [40:35] your boys still need you. [40:36] Say it. [40:37] A murderer carries a life sentence [40:38] in the state of California. [40:41] And I think that when Peter Chadwick realized [40:45] that he was going to kill his wife, [40:48] that we weren't budging from that, [40:50] that's when he made the decision [40:51] that he was going to flee. [40:52] It was all of a sudden, where did he go? [40:56] Like, what parts of the world could he be in? [40:58] He was a smart guy. [41:00] And I just assumed he figured out [41:02] how to get to some place [41:03] that there's no extradition. [41:04] How could a father flee his family [41:06] and leave them behind, [41:08] knowing that he's the only parent left? [41:11] He chose to save himself, [41:13] not save his kids. [41:16] Could he be in the Philippines? [41:18] Could he be in Japan? [41:19] And could he be in Mexico? [41:20] Could he have gone to Canada? [41:22] Now knowing that we have a man up, [41:23] we call the United States Marshals for assistance. [41:25] My name is Craig McCluskey. [41:27] I've been with the Marshals Service for 20 years. [41:30] One of the things we do when we adopt a case [41:32] is we try to establish a pattern of life [41:34] on the individual. [41:35] We'll examine their social habits, [41:36] their financial habits, [41:38] prior to when they became a fugitive. [41:40] We took a look at Peter's Pinterest account, [41:42] and there was only three things [41:43] that he really researched or saved [41:45] on his Pinterest account. [41:47] One was tennis rackets. [41:48] One was Bugatti cars. [41:50] And one was how to build a safe room in your home. [41:52] So we knew tennis was one of the things [41:54] or a pattern of life that he might retain. [41:56] So our initial dive into Peter's finances, [42:00] he had a safe deposit box, [42:02] and that deposit box was emptied. [42:05] We suspect that there was roughly a million dollars [42:08] in that deposit box [42:09] just based on interviews with the bank. [42:11] But we also learned that Peter [42:13] had a lot of credit cards, [42:14] approximately five or six, [42:16] that he did max cash withdrawals on, [42:18] obviously with no intention [42:19] of paying those back. [42:21] You have to think this guy has money [42:23] so he could be in Timbuktu. [42:26] Where do we look? [42:27] Where do we begin? [42:29] Peter had an obvious jump start on his flight, [42:32] but also he was very meticulous [42:34] in who knew about him, [42:36] where he went, [42:38] and how he could manipulate those assets [42:41] to his benefit. [42:42] So one of the first tangible leads that we had [42:45] was that he had taken a cab [42:47] to the Santa Barbara City airport. [42:49] There were 45 different cabs [42:51] that service the Santa Barbara area, [42:54] and on the 44th cab company that I called, [42:58] they told me that they did send a car [43:00] up to Peter's father's house, [43:03] picked up one passenger. [43:05] Once we got to the Santa Barbara airport, [43:07] we were able to review the video footage [43:09] from the airport, [43:10] and we saw Peter arrive in that cab. [43:12] The photos that we have of Peter [43:14] shows him sitting in a chair, [43:15] looking right at a surveillance camera. [43:17] I think the purpose of Peter being [43:22] an eyeline of the camera [43:23] is to show us that, [43:25] he was there. [43:26] But upon combing through pages [43:28] and pages of the passenger list, [43:30] we discover that Peter never got on a plane. [43:32] He actually just walked out of the airport, [43:34] got into another cab, [43:36] and fled. [43:37] This was all very calculated. [43:40] He's laid this false groundwork, [43:42] traveling to different places, [43:43] and planning fake trips. [43:45] That's when we realized [43:47] this was well planned, [43:49] very strategic. [43:51] Now I would say we were several months behind. [43:55] We made a decision to go up [43:57] to Peter's father's home in Santa Barbara. [44:00] We did a cursory search of the room [44:03] where Peter was residing at the time, [44:05] and the room was basically cleaned up, [44:07] except for a few items that were very distinct clues [44:10] on where Peter might have gone. [44:12] In the father's house, [44:14] there are references to Canada. [44:16] There are breadcrumbs [44:18] that would lead any investigator to thinking, [44:20] this man's going to Canada. [44:22] Some of those items included books [44:24] on how to change one's identity, [44:26] how to live life on the run in Canada. [44:28] So it appeared that Peter was heavily researching [44:31] how to exit the country [44:33] through the Washington border into Canada. [44:36] I decided at that point [44:38] that we needed to interview Peter's sons. [44:41] The oldest son initially told us his father, [44:44] he was telling them, [44:45] yes, I'm going to run. [44:47] His plan was to drive to the Canadian border [44:50] of the state of Washington. [44:52] He was going to walk across, [44:54] find himself a menial job, [44:56] and then from there, [44:57] he was going to go to a country [44:59] where he could then contact his sons [45:01] and have a reunion. [45:03] He knew people in Canada. [45:06] He lived in Canada as a child. [45:08] When the parents left England, [45:10] they first went to Canada, [45:12] then made their way to California. [45:14] So he's got ties there. [45:16] So during the first three years [45:18] after Peter ran, [45:20] the marshals followed up on leads [45:22] and tips in Canada, [45:24] hitting dead ends at every turn. [45:26] If I could put a number [45:29] on all the resources that we used, [45:31] there was approximately 20 to 30 personnel [45:34] at any given time [45:35] doing something on this case. [45:37] As time goes by, [45:39] it's difficult to continue a timeline [45:42] and establish locations [45:44] of where and when a fugitive is gone. [45:47] Peter was definitely my Pink Panther, [45:49] for lack of a better term. [45:51] We knew he was there. [45:52] We just couldn't get him. [45:53] There was so much hard work [45:54] put into the investigation [45:56] to identify him as the person [45:57] responsible for killing Peter. [45:59] You see? [46:00] Why then just give up [46:01] and let him get away? [46:03] We just don't do that in law enforcement. [46:05] When a case gets chilly [46:08] or starts to go cold, [46:09] bringing in a fresh set of eyes [46:11] is a great way to look at things [46:13] a little bit differently. [46:14] And that's exactly what happened. [46:17] You can run, [46:19] but you can't hide much longer. [46:20] So do yourself a favor, [46:22] Mr. Chadwick, [46:23] and turn yourself in. [46:24] They, sure enough, [46:26] did their own podcast. [46:28] It was a brilliant idea. [46:30] The clock was ticking [46:31] for Peter Chadwick. [46:32] Every day that he was gone, [46:33] he was just one day closer [46:34] to being caught. [46:35] Peter, we are coming for you. [46:36] This begins your countdown [46:37] to capture. [46:38] More than 3 1⁄2 years ago, [46:39] while awaiting trial [46:40] for the murder [46:41] of his 46-year-old wife, QC. [46:48] You can run, [46:49] but you can't hide much longer. [46:50] So do yourself a favor, [46:51] Mr. Chadwick, [46:52] and turn yourself in. [46:53] So any investigator [46:54] will tell you [46:55] that when a case gets chilly [46:56] or starts to go cold, [46:57] bringing in a fresh set of eyes [46:58] is a great way [46:59] to look at things [47:01] a little bit differently. [47:02] You can run, [47:03] but you can't hide much longer. [47:05] So do yourself a favor, [47:06] bring in a fresh set of eyes [47:08] is a great way [47:09] to look at things [47:10] a little bit differently. [47:11] And that's exactly [47:13] what happened [47:14] when a new sergeant, [47:15] Court Depweg, [47:16] came to Newport Beach PD. [47:18] So around 2018, [47:19] he decided to pump [47:20] some new life [47:21] into this case. [47:22] So I came to the [47:23] Crimes Against Persons Unit [47:24] as the sergeant, [47:25] and one of the things [47:26] that stuck out [47:27] was the fact [47:28] that Peter Chadwick [47:29] was still wanted [47:32] for killing QC from 2012. [47:35] I wanted to find out [47:36] what had happened [47:37] and what had been done. [47:38] Let's figure out [47:39] what we're going to do [47:40] moving forward [47:41] and how we're going [47:42] to get this guy. [47:43] Court Depweg [47:44] at the Newport Beach [47:45] Police Department [47:46] is a rock star [47:47] in my mind. [47:48] And he's like a dog [47:49] with a bone. [47:50] He could not stomach [47:51] the idea that this man [47:52] was able to use his money [47:53] to escape criminal justice [47:54] in the state of California, [47:55] and Court Depweg [47:56] was going to find him. [48:00] I went to [48:01] our public information officer, [48:03] Jennifer Manzella. [48:04] Sergeant Depweg [48:05] came into my office [48:06] and started talking to me [48:08] about the Chadwick case [48:09] and said, [48:10] that we needed to [48:13] republicize this story. [48:15] And we had to do it globally. [48:18] We knew he had means [48:19] that he could get out [48:20] of the country. [48:21] He just sat there [48:22] and said, you know, [48:23] what's your idea? [48:25] And I think I blinked [48:27] like a deer in the headlights. [48:29] And then I looked at him [48:30] and said, you know, [48:31] the only thing I can think of [48:32] would be something [48:33] like a podcast, [48:34] but that would be [48:35] a lot of work [48:36] and I don't really know [48:37] how to do it. [48:38] I had never listened [48:39] to a podcast, [48:40] didn't know what a podcast was. [48:41] So for me, [48:42] he walked me through it [48:43] and I said, perfect, let's try it. [48:44] Is this mic going? [48:45] I was so intimidated [48:48] by the scope of this project. [48:49] It's not necessarily something [48:51] that's in my wheelhouse. [48:52] Okay, stand by. [48:53] They take their own people [48:56] within the department, [48:57] within the prosecutor's office, [48:59] the investigators, everybody, [49:01] and incorporate them [49:02] into a phenomenal podcast [49:04] that takes this case [49:06] from A to Z. [49:08] We had a microphone [49:10] that we were able to get. [49:11] We had a pop filter, [49:13] a microphone [49:14] stand, [49:15] and a music stand, [49:16] and that was it. [49:17] Some cables. [49:18] We just patched it together [49:19] with duct tape [49:20] and ran with it. [49:21] They, sure enough, [49:22] did their own podcast [49:24] called Countdown to Capture. [49:26] The first episode went out [49:27] on September 17th of 2018. [49:30] Welcome to the prologue [49:31] of Countdown to Capture. [49:33] I'm Jennifer Mandela, [49:35] and I'll be hosting this podcast [49:36] about Peter Chadwick. [49:38] Who is Peter Chadwick? [49:43] Suddenly, [49:44] there's new heartbeat. [49:46] This new heartbeat [49:47] is pumping loudly [49:49] and furiously. [49:51] Police in Newport Beach [49:52] launching their own podcast, [49:54] hoping that... [49:55] There's all these antennas [49:56] going out to the world. [49:57] Remember, [49:58] podcasts go to the world. [50:00] Bring us fresh tips. [50:02] It was a brilliant idea. [50:05] We got a lot of tips [50:06] from all over the world. [50:07] We got sightings tips. [50:09] We got, [50:10] hey, I know this person. [50:11] So we were getting tips, [50:12] you know, [50:13] as far as Ukraine. [50:14] We were getting tips from Japan. [50:16] It was actually incredible [50:18] to see the numbers take off. [50:20] With the podcast [50:21] already leading to new tips, [50:23] police are hopeful. [50:24] Before the podcast, [50:25] we were not getting calls [50:26] from the public, [50:27] and now we are. [50:28] We got a lot of tips. [50:29] Some pretty good tips, [50:31] and then we got some really, [50:32] really out of left field, [50:34] really, really crazy ones. [50:36] But again, you still have to vet it. [50:38] Peter's face was everywhere. [50:40] One of those things I noticed [50:41] was that the United States [50:42] Marshal Service top 15 [50:44] had a couple vacancies. [50:46] And that's when I reached out. [50:47] I think within hours, [50:49] he was up on the top 15. [50:50] Collectively, [50:51] these agencies do one more thing [50:53] that attracts attention in the case, [50:54] and that's offer money. [50:56] Money is a good lure [50:57] if you happen to know something [50:59] about the whereabouts [51:01] of Peter Chadwick. [51:02] With the partnership [51:03] of the United States Marshal Service [51:04] and the support of the city [51:05] of Newport Beach [51:06] and private donors, [51:07] I'm pleased to announce [51:08] that we are now offering [51:09] a $100,000 reward [51:11] for Mr. Chadwick's capture. [51:12] We want everyone [51:13] to be looking for Peter Chadwick. [51:15] At the end of the final episode, [51:17] we conclude with Sergeant Depwig [51:19] giving a direct message [51:21] to Peter Chadwick. [51:24] Peter, end this now. [51:26] You made the decision [51:27] to take QC's life, [51:29] to steal her from her children, [51:31] to leave your boys stranded [51:32] on the side of a road [51:33] to fend for themselves, [51:34] flee like a coward [51:35] and not face the consequences [51:37] of your actions. [51:38] Think about your boys. [51:41] Peter, we are coming for you. [51:43] This begins your countdown [51:45] to capture. [51:46] We didn't have any way [51:48] of knowing if Peter Chadwick [51:50] would hear about the podcast, [51:52] would listen to the podcast, [51:54] but it was very important to us [51:56] that if he did, [51:57] he knew exactly where we stood. [52:00] Despite the podcast [52:03] and the resources spent [52:04] looking all over the world [52:05] for Peter Chadwick, [52:07] he vanished without a trace. [52:09] Police had no idea [52:10] how clever his escape plan was. [52:14] My thought was, [52:15] okay, let me try [52:16] to make it look like Canada. [52:17] I put leads, [52:19] so I put things that would [52:21] make people think [52:22] I went to Canada. [52:24] I left some papers [52:25] in the rooms [52:28] and then go to Mexico. [52:30] I walked across [52:37] with a couple of bags [52:39] and a backpack. [52:41] There's less chance [52:42] of getting caught, I thought. [52:44] The story's really [52:45] never been told before, [52:46] so we wanted to come down [52:47] to see exactly [52:48] what he was doing, [52:49] who he knew, [52:50] and what his life was like [52:52] and what really happened [52:54] in Mexico. [52:56] 2015, [53:10] when Peter decided to flee, [53:12] you know, he made it look like [53:14] he had fled to Canada [53:15] when in reality, [53:16] he came down here [53:18] to the San Ysidro point of entry [53:20] for the Mexican-U.S. border, [53:22] right here. [53:23] This longest line here? [53:24] Yeah. [53:25] And he walked this path [53:26] right here [53:27] where these pedestrians [53:28] were coming through [53:29] in through this white building [53:30] right here, [53:31] and out the other end [53:32] where this metal fence is, [53:33] went straight into Mexico. [53:37] Peter's passports [53:39] were taken from him [53:40] before he fled, [53:41] so how did he slip [53:42] into Mexico? [53:44] I decided to cross the border [53:46] into Mexico [53:47] with my producer [53:48] just to see [53:49] if we would get asked [53:50] for our passports. [53:53] Mexico, piece of cake. [53:55] They didn't check [53:56] any passports, [53:57] no ID, [53:58] nothing. [53:59] We didn't need anything [54:00] to get into Mexico. [54:01] This trip, [54:06] walked across the border [54:08] caught a bus [54:09] 27 hours [54:10] down the west coast [54:11] right up to Colima. [54:12] Then he took the road [54:13] north to Guadalajara. [54:14] In Guadalajara, [54:15] somebody asked me, [54:16] oh, [54:17] and what's your name? [54:18] I said, [54:19] Peter. [54:20] So I left [54:21] because of that. [54:22] I went to Pátzcuaro. [54:23] So now we're heading [54:24] to Pátzcuaro, [54:25] which is about [54:26] four hours away [54:27] from Mexico City. [54:31] This is where [54:32] we'll get a good sense [54:33] of what his life [54:34] was like, [54:35] a different kind [54:36] of life [54:37] that he had [54:38] in Mexico City. [54:39] So, [54:40] a different kind [54:41] of life [54:42] that he had [54:44] in America. [54:45] Pátzcuaro [54:46] is a very [54:47] traditional, [54:48] old-style [54:49] colonial city. [54:50] People [54:51] live a family-oriented [54:52] continuity [54:53] of values [54:54] and engagement [54:55] that goes on [54:56] generation [54:57] after generation. [54:59] Pátzcuaro [55:00] is famous [55:01] for its celebrations [55:02] of the Day [55:03] of the Dead holiday. [55:05] And it's a place [55:06] that seems [55:07] nearly the opposite [55:08] of the life [55:09] that Peter Chadwick [55:10] had lived in California. [55:11] But it was also [55:12] the perfect place [55:13] for him [55:14] to hide [55:15] in plain sight. [55:16] If I went to a [55:20] chain hotel, [55:22] they would [55:23] photocopy [55:24] the ID [55:25] at the cheaper [55:26] places. [55:27] It's just kind [55:28] of like, [55:29] they look at it [55:30] to put your name [55:31] from the ID. [55:32] This is right [55:34] in the middle [55:35] of Pátzcuaro. [55:36] And that hotel [55:37] right there [55:38] is where [55:39] Peter had [55:40] his very first [55:41] place to live. [55:42] We got access [55:43] to Peter Chadwick's [55:44] hotel rooms. [55:45] Take a look. [55:46] Number three. [55:48] Okay. [55:49] This is where [55:52] he stayed [55:53] for a while. [55:55] When you come [55:59] down here, [56:00] there's no expectation [56:01] put on you. [56:02] You can reinvent [56:03] yourself. [56:04] An expat [56:06] is simply [56:07] an American [56:08] or a Canadian [56:09] who has decided [56:10] to live [56:11] down here [56:12] full time [56:13] or nearly [56:14] full time. [56:15] I'm an expat [56:16] from Minnesota. [56:17] I have lived [56:18] here in Mexico [56:19] for the past 15 years. [56:20] I'm a painter [56:21] and a writer. [56:22] I've written [56:23] 46 books, [56:24] including [56:25] five books [56:26] on the expat [56:27] experience. [56:28] The local [56:29] people don't know [56:30] what you did. [56:31] They don't really care. [56:32] It would be very easy [56:33] to have a lot [56:34] of aliases. [56:36] At this point, [56:37] Peter just starts [56:38] changing his name. [56:39] He's using [56:40] fake IDs [56:41] and further [56:42] distancing himself [56:43] from who he was. [56:44] In Pátzcuaro, [56:45] I was Paul Cook. [56:46] You can be [56:48] as visible [56:49] or invisible [56:50] as you wish. [56:51] And I have actually [56:52] been known [56:53] that if I wanted [56:54] to be a career [56:55] criminal, [56:56] I would come here. [56:59] So in Pátzcuaro, [57:02] I was pretty much [57:03] the same. [57:04] I looked the same. [57:05] I felt like I was safe [57:06] to just be [57:07] the same look [57:08] and avoid [57:09] tourist places. [57:11] This is our [57:15] living room. [57:16] It's beautiful. [57:17] Well, we call it [57:18] the Plaza Grande. [57:19] That's true. [57:21] Rick Davis [57:22] is an American [57:23] living in Pátzcuaro [57:24] for the last [57:25] 22 years [57:26] who knew [57:27] Peter [57:28] as Paul Cook. [57:29] So this is [57:30] the spot where [57:31] Paul came in [57:32] to go have coffee, [57:33] right? [57:34] So he walked [57:35] by you every day. [57:36] Right. [57:37] I have a store [57:38] in the main plaza. [57:39] We would pass [57:40] every morning [57:41] and say hello, [57:42] et cetera. [57:43] This is the table. [57:44] This is the chair. [57:45] So he used to sit [57:46] This is the place, [57:47] right? [57:50] He never was [57:51] upfront about [57:52] conversation or [57:53] What does that mean? [57:54] He wouldn't look at you. [57:55] He wouldn't look at you? [57:56] Why? [57:57] I don't know. [57:58] So those that knew him, [57:59] what did they say [58:00] why Paul moved here? [58:02] One of the stories [58:03] was that he had a family [58:04] and that they were killed [58:05] in a plane crash. [58:07] He told friends down here [58:08] the reason he came [58:09] from Mexico [58:10] is because his family [58:11] was killed [58:12] in the MH370 flight, [58:14] which is the flight [58:15] that went from Malaysia [58:16] to China [58:17] and then suddenly, [58:18] mysteriously disappeared. [58:31] Local realtor [58:32] Lina Monroe [58:33] helped Peter, [58:34] who is now [58:35] in the US, [58:36] find an apartment. [58:38] But she says [58:39] there was something [58:40] off-putting [58:41] about this American [58:42] expat. [58:43] When you say [58:44] he was strange, [58:46] what do you mean [58:47] strange? [58:48] What was he doing [58:49] for income [58:51] while he was here? [58:52] I believe it was [58:54] motorcycle parts [58:57] and maybe even [58:58] motorcycles [58:59] and repair [59:00] motorcycles. [59:01] Not only did [59:02] Paul Cook have [59:03] work [59:04] and an apartment [59:05] in the US, [59:06] but he also [59:07] had a job [59:08] in the US. [59:09] He also started [59:10] a close relationship [59:11] with a local woman. [59:12] You know, [59:13] I really don't know [59:14] how they met. [59:15] Her name was [59:16] Claudia Soto. [59:17] My sister, [59:18] Claudia, [59:19] was a working [59:21] person. [59:22] She worked [59:23] for her children. [59:24] Claudia was [59:25] a very classy person. [59:26] She was very ladylike, [59:28] funny as could be, [59:29] very intelligent. [59:30] Oftentimes, [59:31] I'd overhear [59:32] the ladies talking [59:33] and laughing [59:35] about what happened [59:36] last night [59:37] and how they were [59:38] a little hungover [59:39] this morning [59:40] and she was [59:41] hungover this morning [59:42] and stuff because [59:43] they'd been over [59:44] to Paul's. [59:45] So he was having [59:46] a lot of parties. [59:47] Seems like it. [59:49] Did you ever use [59:50] the word girlfriend [59:51] with Claudia [59:52] and him? [59:53] No. [59:54] Yeah. [59:55] No. [59:56] Just more like [59:57] close friends. [59:58] Yeah. [59:59] Yeah. [1:00:00] Uh-huh. [1:00:01] After a year [1:00:02] of hiding in Mexico, [1:00:03] Paul Cook [1:00:04] was living a good life. [1:00:05] He had eluded capture [1:00:06] and put his life [1:00:07] as Peter Chadwick [1:00:08] well behind him [1:00:09] until a tragic [1:00:10] accident [1:00:11] happened. [1:00:12] Your sister Claudia [1:00:16] and Paul [1:00:17] got in the car [1:00:18] to head to this concert. [1:00:19] Do you have any idea [1:00:20] how fast [1:00:21] he was driving? [1:00:22] When you woke up, [1:00:23] did you know [1:00:24] exactly [1:00:25] what happened [1:00:26] to Paul [1:00:27] and Claudia? [1:00:28] May 2016 [1:00:29] was the day [1:00:30] that Paul [1:00:31] and Claudia [1:00:32] were born. [1:00:33] Paul and Claudia [1:00:34] were born [1:00:36] in Mexico. [1:00:37] Paul and Claudia [1:00:38] were born [1:00:40] in Mexico. [1:00:41] Paul and Claudia [1:00:42] were born [1:00:43] in Mexico. [1:00:44] Paul and Claudia [1:00:45] were born [1:00:50] in Mexico [1:00:51] in 2016. [1:00:52] It's dark [1:00:54] and late at night. [1:00:55] Paul Cook [1:00:56] is driving [1:00:57] his close friend [1:00:58] Claudia [1:00:59] and her sister [1:01:00] Adriana [1:01:01] back from a concert [1:01:02] in the nearby town [1:01:03] of Morelia. [1:01:22] So late that night [1:01:23] after the crash, [1:01:24] Claudia [1:01:25] was found [1:01:26] dead at the scene. [1:01:30] But then the other two [1:01:31] were taken [1:01:32] to the hospital. [1:01:33] Peter first [1:01:34] to this private [1:01:35] hospital [1:01:36] and then Adriana [1:01:37] was taken [1:01:39] to a public hospital. [1:01:40] You were in a coma [1:01:41] for 15 days? [1:01:42] I don't know [1:01:43] if I was in a coma [1:01:44] because I don't know [1:01:45] anything. [1:01:46] I just know [1:01:47] that they did [1:01:50] the surgery [1:01:51] and I was lost. [1:01:52] Do you remember [1:01:53] exactly [1:01:54] how you felt [1:01:55] when you got [1:01:57] that word [1:01:58] that your sister [1:01:59] died? [1:02:00] No. [1:02:01] The only thing [1:02:02] I saw [1:02:04] when I left [1:02:05] the house [1:02:06] was that she [1:02:08] had died. [1:02:09] So this is the way [1:02:15] that families notify [1:02:16] the others [1:02:17] and honor those [1:02:18] that died [1:02:20] when somebody dies? [1:02:21] Yeah. [1:02:22] If you see that, [1:02:23] you ask, [1:02:24] who died? [1:02:25] Who died? [1:02:26] I heard that [1:02:35] Paul [1:02:36] was not badly wounded. [1:02:37] What did you think [1:02:38] at that point? [1:02:51] Because my sister [1:02:52] lost her life. [1:02:53] So, [1:02:55] it was bad [1:02:57] because she [1:03:00] was really [1:03:01] dead. [1:03:02] And he, [1:03:04] well, [1:03:05] he was [1:03:06] almost dead [1:03:07] in a few days. [1:03:09] And I do remember [1:03:12] we all asked, [1:03:13] how's Paul? [1:03:14] As I recall, [1:03:18] maybe [1:03:19] a couple of weeks [1:03:20] went by [1:03:21] and here comes Paul [1:03:22] limping across the plaza [1:03:23] to have his coffee [1:03:24] at the hotel restaurant. [1:03:27] One was killed, [1:03:28] one was badly paralyzed [1:03:29] and he was just limping. [1:03:31] Claudia's family, [1:03:36] the mystery [1:03:37] that was surrounding [1:03:38] Paul began [1:03:39] at 4.30 [1:03:40] in the morning, [1:03:41] just hours [1:03:42] after the crash. [1:03:43] They were called [1:03:44] into the district [1:03:45] attorney's office [1:03:46] and presented [1:03:47] this remarkable document [1:03:49] to sign. [1:03:50] They told me [1:03:53] to sign it [1:03:54] because it's [1:03:55] a document [1:03:56] of the accident. [1:03:57] So, [1:03:58] I signed it. [1:04:02] Read to me [1:04:03] some of this. [1:04:07] I also [1:04:08] give you [1:04:09] the biggest [1:04:10] forgiveness [1:04:11] for my friend [1:04:12] Paul Luke [1:04:13] for the death [1:04:14] of my daughter [1:04:15] Claudia Soto [1:04:17] Segovia [1:04:18] since he's [1:04:24] a good person. [1:04:25] I didn't say [1:04:26] everything [1:04:27] in that paper. [1:04:29] All that paper [1:04:30] is a lie. [1:04:31] They said [1:04:32] that they wanted [1:04:33] to make [1:04:34] something legal [1:04:36] in a document [1:04:37] that relieved [1:04:38] Paul [1:04:39] from this crash. [1:04:41] Yes. [1:04:42] Were you able [1:04:43] to read it [1:04:44] at all [1:04:45] when it was written? [1:04:46] No. [1:04:47] So, [1:04:48] I read [1:04:49] Yes. [1:04:50] All the weight [1:04:51] of the law [1:04:52] against [1:04:53] the person [1:04:54] who is [1:04:55] responsible [1:04:56] for this accident. [1:04:57] We pressed [1:04:58] for more information [1:04:59] to better understand [1:05:00] the origin [1:05:01] and the purpose [1:05:02] of this document. [1:05:03] At Michoacan [1:05:04] Attorney General's [1:05:05] Transparency Unit [1:05:06] they stated [1:05:07] that the document [1:05:08] is part [1:05:09] of the investigation [1:05:10] and they're aware [1:05:11] of the incident. [1:05:12] They provided [1:05:13] no further answers. [1:05:14] Do you think [1:05:18] that Paul may have [1:05:19] done this [1:05:20] so he would not [1:05:21] get any attention [1:05:22] given the fact [1:05:23] that he had [1:05:24] fled the United States [1:05:25] and was hiding? [1:05:26] That's right. [1:05:27] Because he had [1:05:29] committed a crime there. [1:05:30] And he was like [1:05:31] hiding over here. [1:05:33] That's what I think. [1:05:36] I saw him [1:05:37] only a few times [1:05:38] hobbling [1:05:40] right up to the point [1:05:41] that he was walking [1:05:42] alright and then [1:05:43] he just disappeared. [1:05:44] We never knew [1:05:48] about him again. [1:05:50] No. [1:05:57] Suddenly Paul [1:05:58] who entered quickly [1:05:59] has now exited [1:06:00] even faster. [1:06:01] Nobody had any idea [1:06:04] where he went [1:06:05] and how they could [1:06:06] find him. [1:06:10] After there was [1:06:11] an accident [1:06:12] I pretty quickly [1:06:13] left [1:06:14] leaving a lot [1:06:15] of stuff [1:06:17] that I had bought [1:06:18] in an apartment there. [1:06:19] He packed up [1:06:23] and just left town. [1:06:24] Didn't look back. [1:06:27] Abandoned [1:06:29] all his investments [1:06:30] in the condo [1:06:32] he purchased. [1:06:33] And that was [1:06:34] a huge blow to him. [1:06:35] I've been traveling. [1:06:36] I want to look [1:06:37] for a place [1:06:38] to stay again. [1:06:39] I found hostels [1:06:40] which are cheaper [1:06:41] two or three hundred [1:06:44] pesos a night. [1:06:45] The common theme [1:06:46] kept coming up [1:06:47] that if Peter [1:06:48] was going to [1:06:50] reach out [1:06:51] or speak [1:06:52] to anyone [1:06:53] it was going to be [1:06:54] his oldest son, [1:06:55] Ben. [1:06:56] So we made [1:06:57] the decision [1:07:03] to go up [1:07:04] to Stanford University [1:07:05] and speak with [1:07:06] Benjamin [1:07:07] right before Thanksgiving [1:07:08] the weekend. [1:07:09] There might be [1:07:10] a chance [1:07:11] that there [1:07:12] may be [1:07:13] some communication [1:07:14] because of the holiday [1:07:18] coming up. [1:07:19] He was approximately [1:07:20] 19 years old [1:07:22] at the time [1:07:23] of the interview. [1:07:24] Very nice kid. [1:07:25] You can't help [1:07:26] but feel [1:07:27] really bad [1:07:28] for these children [1:07:29] for what they've [1:07:30] experienced. [1:07:31] Not only [1:07:32] was their mom [1:07:33] taken from them [1:07:37] by the hands [1:07:38] of their father [1:07:39] but now their father [1:07:40] is on the run. [1:07:41] We finally learned [1:07:42] that Ben [1:07:44] had knowledge [1:07:45] that his father [1:07:46] was going [1:07:47] to make [1:07:48] one phone call [1:07:49] that will [1:07:50] change [1:07:51] everything. [1:07:52] I went [1:08:03] to Pátzcuaro [1:08:04] and I stayed [1:08:05] there I think [1:08:06] almost two years [1:08:07] but after there was [1:08:08] an accident [1:08:09] I pretty quickly [1:08:10] left [1:08:11] leaving a lot [1:08:12] of stuff [1:08:14] and the next place [1:08:15] was Valle de Bravo [1:08:21] working in a cafe [1:08:22] dishwasher [1:08:23] and things like that. [1:08:24] I was doing [1:08:25] the English lessons [1:08:26] and getting [1:08:27] to know [1:08:28] how to save money [1:08:29] and then [1:08:30] I had this [1:08:31] opportunity [1:08:33] to do [1:08:34] some research [1:08:35] and I found [1:08:36] out that [1:08:37] there was [1:08:38] a lot of [1:08:39] information [1:08:40] that I could [1:08:41] use [1:08:42] to help [1:08:43] people [1:08:44] with [1:08:45] mental [1:08:46] and physical [1:08:47] issues. [1:08:48] So while he was [1:08:49] in Valle de Bravo [1:08:50] trying to recollect [1:08:51] himself [1:08:52] Peter was [1:08:55] aired on [1:08:56] an investigative [1:08:57] report. [1:08:58] I saw the [1:08:59] phone [1:09:00] on my iPad [1:09:01] it freaked [1:09:02] me out [1:09:03] and really [1:09:05] with the [1:09:06] lying [1:09:07] and the [1:09:08] it's just [1:09:09] the same old [1:09:10] words. [1:09:11] From Valle de Bravo [1:09:12] Peter then went [1:09:13] to Cholula [1:09:15] where he [1:09:16] kind of [1:09:17] reestablished [1:09:18] himself. [1:09:38] Then after [1:09:40] nearly five [1:09:41] years [1:09:42] towards the [1:09:43] end of the [1:09:44] summer of [1:09:45] 2019 [1:09:46] Detective Mike Fletcher [1:09:47] gets a tip [1:09:48] that he shares [1:09:49] with the [1:09:50] U.S. Marshals [1:09:51] leading them [1:09:52] to zero in [1:09:53] on Peter Chadwick. [1:09:55] I said [1:09:56] trust me [1:09:57] I think [1:09:58] this is good [1:09:59] look into it [1:10:00] within I think [1:10:01] 24 hours [1:10:02] I was getting [1:10:03] called that [1:10:04] they had tracked [1:10:08] him to a [1:10:09] location. [1:10:10] Is that the spot [1:10:11] right there? [1:10:13] What did you think [1:10:14] of him [1:10:15] when he [1:10:16] made this [1:10:17] call [1:10:18] right here [1:10:19] in the [1:10:20] neighborhood [1:10:21] where he [1:10:22] was living? [1:10:23] It was [1:10:24] the [1:10:26] small [1:10:27] details [1:10:28] of [1:10:29] Peter's [1:10:30] patterns [1:10:31] of life [1:10:32] playing [1:10:33] tennis [1:10:34] and [1:10:37] hosting [1:10:38] business [1:10:39] meetings [1:10:40] in and [1:10:41] around [1:10:42] tennis [1:10:43] courts [1:10:44] and [1:10:46] small [1:10:47] and narrow [1:10:48] down the [1:10:49] location. [1:10:50] You showed the [1:10:51] neighbors [1:10:52] his photo [1:10:53] of what he [1:10:54] looked like [1:10:55] and they said [1:10:56] ah [1:10:57] we know [1:10:58] he's in this [1:10:59] area. [1:11:03] Detective Eastlash [1:11:04] was in charge [1:11:05] of Peter's [1:11:06] arrest. [1:11:07] He knew [1:11:08] where Peter [1:11:09] was living [1:11:10] that he had [1:11:11] resources [1:11:12] that he had [1:11:13] money [1:11:14] and that he [1:11:16] could move [1:11:17] around the [1:11:18] neighborhood. [1:11:19] We were [1:11:20] in the [1:11:21] neighborhood [1:11:22] for five [1:11:23] hours [1:11:25] in [1:11:26] surveillance. [1:11:27] It was [1:11:28] like 11.30 at [1:11:29] night. [1:11:30] I was in [1:11:31] the room [1:11:32] getting ready [1:11:33] to go to [1:11:34] sleep, [1:11:37] brushing my [1:11:38] teeth and [1:11:39] playing a [1:11:40] video game. [1:11:41] They knocked [1:11:42] on the [1:11:43] door, [1:11:44] I put [1:11:45] my pants [1:11:46] on, [1:11:47] pants at [1:11:48] the door. [1:11:49] He said [1:11:50] he was [1:11:51] going to [1:11:52] arrest me. [1:11:53] He had [1:11:54] no idea [1:11:55] you were [1:11:56] coming? [1:12:06] The timing [1:12:07] of this [1:12:08] could not [1:12:09] have been [1:12:10] more dramatic [1:12:11] than this. [1:12:12] Wouldn't [1:12:13] you agree? [1:12:16] Oh and [1:12:17] actually [1:12:18] the next [1:12:19] morning [1:12:20] I was 12 [1:12:21] hours away [1:12:22] from I [1:12:23] was out [1:12:26] of there. [1:12:27] Five years [1:12:28] since arriving [1:12:29] in Mexico [1:12:30] Peter Chadwick [1:12:33] is found. [1:12:34] And then I [1:12:35] got photographs [1:12:36] of him [1:12:37] in custody. [1:12:38] I was like [1:12:39] oh my gosh [1:12:40] we did it. [1:12:41] It was a [1:12:42] very proud [1:12:43] moment for [1:12:44] our organization [1:12:45] and my team. [1:12:46] I think it [1:12:47] was August [1:12:48] 5th that [1:12:50] Peter Chadwick [1:12:51] was in [1:12:52] custody. [1:12:53] He looked [1:12:54] around in [1:12:55] Mexico. [1:12:56] When they [1:12:57] found him [1:12:58] in Mexico [1:12:59] and what [1:13:00] was the [1:13:01] neighborhood's [1:13:02] reaction to [1:13:03] that? [1:13:04] Oh my gosh. [1:13:05] I mean we [1:13:06] just flooded [1:13:07] with text [1:13:08] messages. [1:13:09] Everybody [1:13:10] did you [1:13:11] hear this? [1:13:12] Did you [1:13:13] hear that? [1:13:15] It was [1:13:16] just thank [1:13:17] God. [1:13:18] Thank God [1:13:19] he was [1:13:20] arrested. [1:13:21] We thank [1:13:22] God they [1:13:23] found him [1:13:24] in Mexico. [1:13:25] This was [1:13:27] not really [1:13:28] Paul Cook. [1:13:29] Si fue la [1:13:30] primera vez [1:13:31] que nosotros [1:13:32] supimos [1:13:33] realmente [1:13:34] la historia. [1:13:35] We brought him [1:13:36] back here to [1:13:37] Newport Beach [1:13:38] Police Department [1:13:41] and then [1:13:42] I said [1:13:43] well let's [1:13:44] see what he [1:13:45] has to say. [1:13:46] Obviously I [1:13:47] could clam [1:13:48] up and just [1:13:49] you know [1:13:50] whatever but [1:13:51] I'm willing [1:13:52] to talk. [1:13:53] When Peter [1:13:54] came back [1:13:55] to the [1:13:56] police station [1:13:57] he told me [1:13:58] that he [1:13:59] was going [1:14:00] to have [1:14:01] a lot of [1:14:02] conversations [1:14:03] he was going [1:14:04] to have [1:14:05] on the phone [1:14:06] with people, [1:14:07] pictures of [1:14:08] his family, [1:14:10] numerous [1:14:11] fraudulent [1:14:12] identification [1:14:13] cards. [1:14:14] Did you [1:14:15] have a [1:14:16] passport? [1:14:17] No. [1:14:18] Yeah I [1:14:19] got those [1:14:20] IDs in [1:14:21] Mexico. [1:14:22] In Mexico [1:14:23] this notebook [1:14:24] is his [1:14:25] life. [1:14:26] So it was [1:14:28] getting down [1:14:29] to not much [1:14:30] that I needed [1:14:31] to call [1:14:32] somebody. [1:14:33] I think that's [1:14:34] what got me. [1:14:35] It's a friend [1:14:36] who's probably [1:14:37] on your list [1:14:38] of watching [1:14:39] the phone numbers. [1:14:40] What was the [1:14:41] end game? [1:14:42] You were just [1:14:43] hoping to finish [1:14:44] out your life [1:14:45] in Mexico or [1:14:46] did you have [1:14:47] a plan to [1:14:48] come back? [1:14:49] No not to [1:14:50] come back. [1:14:51] I mean I [1:14:52] thought I [1:14:53] had dreams [1:14:56] kind of go [1:14:57] and then I'm [1:14:58] not sure if [1:14:59] he can call [1:15:00] his son [1:15:03] then. [1:15:04] Hi been [1:15:05] so long. [1:15:06] Yeah I know. [1:15:07] Mexicans and [1:15:08] the U.S. [1:15:09] Marshals [1:15:10] you know got [1:15:12] me. [1:15:13] I guess it was [1:15:14] a matter of [1:15:15] time. [1:15:20] Miss you so [1:15:21] much and [1:15:22] love you [1:15:23] guys. [1:15:24] I'm so [1:15:25] sorry for [1:15:26] all this [1:15:29] messing up [1:15:30] your life [1:15:31] and what [1:15:33] happened to [1:15:34] mom obviously [1:15:35] and everything. [1:15:36] I'm so [1:15:37] sorry. [1:15:38] I just [1:15:41] wanted to [1:15:43] hear your [1:15:44] voice. [1:15:45] Say that I [1:15:47] miss you and [1:15:56] I love you. [1:15:57] I knew I [1:15:58] have to pay [1:15:59] for what [1:16:01] happened. [1:16:02] It was a bad [1:16:03] choice. [1:16:04] What justice [1:16:05] will he finally [1:16:06] be served? [1:16:07] I now [1:16:13] plead to [1:16:14] count one [1:16:16] a violation [1:16:17] of murder [1:16:18] guilty or [1:16:19] not guilty. [1:16:20] Deputy [1:16:21] District [1:16:22] Attorney [1:16:23] Jennifer [1:16:24] Walker [1:16:25] for the [1:16:26] investigation [1:16:27] of the [1:16:30] murder of [1:16:31] Mr. [1:16:32] Chadwick. [1:16:33] Mr. [1:16:34] Chadwick [1:16:35] has been [1:16:36] charged with [1:16:37] murder [1:16:38] and [1:16:39] murder [1:16:40] and [1:16:41] murder [1:16:42] and [1:16:43] murder [1:16:45] and [1:16:46] murder [1:16:47] and [1:16:48] murder [1:16:49] and [1:16:51] murder [1:16:52] and [1:16:53] murder [1:16:54] and [1:16:55] murder [1:16:56] and [1:16:58] murder [1:16:59] and [1:17:00] murder and [1:17:01] murder and [1:17:02] murder and [1:17:03] murder and [1:17:08] murder and [1:17:09] murder and [1:17:12] murder and [1:17:13] murder and [1:17:15] murder and [1:17:16] murder and [1:17:17] murder and [1:17:18] murder and [1:17:19] murder and [1:17:21] murder and [1:17:22] murder and [1:17:24] murder and [1:17:25] murder and [1:17:26] murder and [1:17:27] murder and [1:17:28] murder and [1:17:29] murder and [1:17:30] murder and [1:17:31] murder and [1:17:35] murder and [1:17:36] murder and [1:17:37] murder and [1:17:38] murder and [1:17:39] murder and [1:17:40] murder and [1:17:41] whatever the court decides. [1:17:48] How do you now plead to count one a violation of murder, [1:17:51] guilty or not guilty? [1:17:55] Guilty. [1:17:56] I do accept your plea, [1:17:58] and at this time I'll sentence you to state prison for 15 years to life. [1:18:01] How could a father do something like this, [1:18:06] not just to his wife, but to his whole family? [1:18:11] Peter may now finally be behind bars in the U.S., [1:18:14] but back in Mexico, [1:18:16] what kind of justice might there be [1:18:18] for Claudia, Adriana, and their family? [1:18:21] We now have to do 12 years minimum in California state prison [1:18:26] before he's eligible for parole, [1:18:27] and I think the family in Mexico [1:18:29] should have a voice at that hearing. [1:19:06] Do you feel betrayed by Peter, by Paul? [1:19:16] This guy committed a murder in our city. [1:19:19] We're not going to just let him be on the run and live his life. [1:19:22] QC didn't get that opportunity. [1:19:24] She had so many plans, [1:19:25] but she wanted to do as much. [1:19:27] She wanted to do as much for her children as she could, [1:19:28] and she did. [1:19:29] I can't imagine a mother giving children [1:19:31] a better sense of love and devotion than she did.
