[0:01] Welcome back to the 2020 True Crime Ball.
[0:04] I still feel the murder in the house.
[0:13] We had a 74-year-old woman killed.
[0:17] A 35-year-old woman killed.
[0:20] Somebody needed to tell their story.
[0:23] The blood, a lot of blood all over the mother and the daughter.
[0:28] Angel and mom were definitely a package deal.
[0:30] Why would you murder two innocent people?
[0:32] Two innocent women.
[0:33] We have an extremely psychotic, taunting killer who is taking pleasure in the homicide.
[0:40] Who is taunting the police and writing this letter.
[0:44] About 1230 or so, I got my knife and did the dirty deed.
[0:48] What a rush.
[0:49] Don't bother checking for prints or DNA.
[0:52] I'm wearing a body suit and gloves.
[0:54] And then a second letter came in.
[0:57] I write to you again.
[0:58] I must confess, I have done it for a second time.
[1:02] And we had a killer, apparently, who was traveling the country.
[1:07] The two letters sent by the killer made it pretty clear.
[1:09] He's not only one step ahead of the cops, but the murder spree isn't over.
[1:42] It starts on Friday night, the 4th of July weekend in Norfolk, Virginia.
[1:47] John Schraft is a rookie officer working a weekend shift.
[1:50] It's about 1.30 in the morning, patrolling the East Ocean View area, driving around.
[1:58] I was by myself doing normal routine patrols in that area when I got the call from dispatch
[2:05] to respond to Fryden Street.
[2:09] Okay, is there any serious bleeding?
[2:12] Yeah.
[2:13] Okay, I need to answer my questions.
[2:14] Is there any serious bleeding?
[2:16] The victim keeps hanging up.
[2:23] The 911 operator keeps calling her back.
[2:25] Is anybody there with you?
[2:30] Nope.
[2:33] It could be anything.
[2:39] An accident, burglary, much worse.
[2:43] As I'm approaching the steps, I can see that the interior front door is open and the screen
[2:54] door is shut.
[2:56] And I can also see that there's a light on inside the residence.
[3:00] In front of him, there is the faded, sort of beige oriental rug on the floor.
[3:06] And there is a lot of red, what he takes to be blood.
[3:11] And he sees an older woman on the floor, on the rug, next to a foam that appears to have
[3:17] blood on it.
[3:18] Immediately drew my weapon, opened up the front door, walked in, asked the elderly female,
[3:30] is there anybody else in the residence?
[3:33] She said, my daughter is in the bedroom.
[3:36] I looked around.
[3:37] My main concern was, is there the person that did this, is that person still in the residence?
[3:44] Definitely nervous, but your adrenaline takes over for the situation at hand.
[3:49] The lady that was apparently called 911, her name was later determined to be Vonda Goyena.
[3:58] And she actually was 74 years of age.
[4:04] This woman has been stabbed multiple times and her throat has been slit.
[4:07] So, when the elderly female said, my daughter is in the bedroom, and I took a couple of steps
[4:13] towards the bedroom, walking down the hall.
[4:15] He knew what he was going to find, a second victim.
[4:24] See that she was clearly deceased, covered in blood, laying naked, face down on the floor.
[4:33] She was later identified to be Angelique Goyena.
[4:37] She was 35 years old.
[4:39] Within the blood-soaked bed, you have this heartbreaking image of her childhood teddy bear, also soaked
[4:48] in blood.
[4:50] It is an image that is hard to forget.
[4:53] They've already checked Angel's room.
[4:55] Now, they have to go through every other room in the house, the closets, the kitchen, to make
[4:59] sure that the killer is not still inside.
[5:02] Detective Walter Whiteside arrives just minutes later.
[5:09] Unfortunately, I've been to a lot of homicide scenes.
[5:12] It was probably one of the worst.
[5:14] That room literally just looked like something out of the movies.
[5:17] It didn't even look real.
[5:18] Very rarely do you see a scene that gruesome.
[5:24] It was very clear that she had more stab wounds than what you could possibly count.
[5:31] I think it ended up being over 37, 38 stab wounds.
[5:36] There was just no rhyme or reason to why the amount of injuries were inflicted on the victims.
[5:42] Still hear Vonda calling out for Angel.
[5:48] She kept asking me how Angel was doing.
[5:51] And, you know, if she was dead, if she was okay, it hits home.
[5:56] It does.
[5:56] You try to separate yourself from that.
[5:59] But I've got three children.
[6:01] So, you know, you do kind of empathize.
[6:04] You have to as a human.
[6:06] It's horrific.
[6:07] And he's starting to realize how many times that she's been stabbed.
[6:12] He knows at this point he doesn't have a lot of time.
[6:14] As EMTs work, Whiteside steps out to call a homicide detective who tells him what has to happen next.
[6:21] He asked me at that time to do a dying declaration.
[6:25] So a dying declaration is a legal term.
[6:28] Now, normally somebody has the right to confront their accuser in court.
[6:32] This is the exception to that.
[6:33] The accuser is actually dead.
[6:35] So, with their last breath, it's presumed to be the truth.
[6:40] A dying declaration can be used in court, but there is one rule.
[6:44] The person has to believe that they're going to die when they give you the statement.
[6:48] And then, ultimately, they have to die.
[6:51] Normal human compassion is to just tell everybody, oh, you're going to be okay.
[6:55] Keep fighting.
[6:56] We're helping you.
[6:59] It's completely counterintuitive to look at someone and tell them, you're going to die.
[7:05] Basically, there's no hope.
[7:07] You're not going to survive this.
[7:10] For them to tell you their last thoughts is, this is who did it to me.
[7:16] That's very powerful.
[7:18] Walter Lucas, she says.
[7:21] Walter Lucas.
[7:23] Two women stabbed to death inside this Freedon Street home.
[7:32] Tonight, Norfolk police are looking for the person responsible.
[7:35] 74-year-old Vonda Goyena died in the hospital yesterday, one day after getting stabbed.
[7:41] Her 35-year-old daughter, Angelique Goyena, died early Saturday morning.
[7:45] The door frame around the front door had not been forced.
[7:49] They fingerprinted all the windows and found no latent fingerprints on any of the exterior
[7:54] windows to the house, no signs of some sort of forced entry.
[7:58] But nothing is stolen and there is no murder weapon.
[8:01] All the DNA and fingerprints belong to Vonda, Angel, her living fiance, David, and other family members.
[8:08] The detectives have only one clue to pursue.
[8:12] They have to find Walter Lucas.
[8:17] As a family, we gathered and tried to find out what would possibly be a motive.
[8:23] And we couldn't come up with a thing.
[8:26] Why would you murder two innocent people?
[8:29] Two innocent women.
[8:32] My answering machine from 15 years ago.
[8:43] Hey, you know, happy birthday.
[8:45] Ready?
[8:45] It's Angelique and Mom singing happy birthday to me.
[8:49] Happy birthday to you.
[8:51] Happy birthday to you.
[8:54] Kept it.
[8:55] So a month later, they're not on our planet.
[8:59] Happy birthday to you.
[9:02] I've kept that for 15 years and somehow it's still intact.
[9:08] We always call her Angel.
[9:16] I mean, it's like if your parents called you, you know, by Angelique, come here.
[9:21] You're in trouble, right?
[9:22] If you say, Angel, if you come here, then you're not in trouble, you know?
[9:27] Angel is the baby of the family.
[9:29] She's younger than her three siblings by 16 years.
[9:32] And she loves fantasy novels.
[9:33] She loves dressing up in Elizabethan style.
[9:36] She writes poetry.
[9:37] She writes stories.
[9:38] And she and her best friend even wrote stories together.
[9:41] There was mythology and there was history.
[9:45] She wanted to believe in the good of everyone,
[9:48] which is something you don't find very often anymore.
[9:53] And that's why for her to be gone and stolen away like that,
[9:59] it was heart-wrenching.
[10:05] This was a woman who loved imagination, loved the magical world.
[10:11] We went to a Renaissance fair.
[10:13] I think Angel enjoyed just kind of the fun and the carefree nature of it.
[10:20] We went to Virginia Beach and on the beach,
[10:23] we saw the statue of Neptune.
[10:26] Just hung out and just spent time.
[10:29] Angel's job may be in a sandwich shop,
[10:34] but her heart is clearly in her poetry.
[10:38] A heart is judged by the love it gives,
[10:40] its thoughts, deeds, and actions.
[10:43] First, you must open your heart and take a chance.
[10:49] Angel and her mother, Vonda, were very close.
[10:53] Angel and mom were definitely a package deal.
[10:56] She was the caretaker for her mom,
[10:58] who had dementia and heart problems,
[11:01] and that was her world.
[11:04] Well, it was like my little sister was my mom's keeper.
[11:08] They didn't watch TV, they read.
[11:10] Angelique would write poetry and photography and art,
[11:13] you know, painting and drawing.
[11:15] That's what they did.
[11:17] My mom was from West Virginia,
[11:19] and she was a hoot.
[11:21] Oh my gosh, but, you know,
[11:23] you couldn't pull the wool over her eyes at all.
[11:26] You know, we all tried.
[11:29] And she was very creative as well.
[11:32] That's probably where Angel got a lot of her creativity.
[11:36] Angelique and mom would always go to the store together.
[11:39] They would go out to the beach
[11:40] to go to, you know, one of the stores for the Wicca.
[11:44] They love the Wicca store, both of them.
[11:48] Wicca's a pagan spiritual practice.
[11:50] Some Wiccans even call themselves witches.
[11:53] They see all of the earth and sky and moon,
[11:55] all of nature, as a mother goddess.
[11:59] Angelique's always been fascinated with the stars.
[12:02] It kind of opened her eyes to nature,
[12:05] sunsets, leaves.
[12:07] There's definitely energy to things.
[12:10] It's kind of like the force.
[12:11] Be with you kind of thing.
[12:13] Beyond that, they also loved tarot cards,
[12:15] reading each other's future and fortunes.
[12:18] The tarot cards were,
[12:20] I remember them having tarot cards, both of them.
[12:22] Tarot cards, palm reading, that kind of stuff.
[12:28] They had a love of reading.
[12:29] They had a love of tarot cards,
[12:32] nature, walks in the park.
[12:34] They were really in tune with one another,
[12:37] more so as friends,
[12:38] beyond that mother and daughter special bond.
[12:41] They did everything together.
[12:43] They went everywhere together.
[12:44] Except for, you know, of course,
[12:45] when Angelique would go out on a date.
[12:47] Mom couldn't go then.
[12:50] Angelique met most of the guys she dated online.
[12:54] She wanted to be married.
[12:56] And she wanted a family.
[12:58] Yes, she did.
[12:59] She talked about it.
[13:00] I know that's something she definitely wanted.
[13:03] And she was hopeful.
[13:04] She did tell me she really wanted to have a child.
[13:08] And she was concerned that she was too old.
[13:13] She was 35.
[13:15] She was on the, all over the page with dating.
[13:18] One guy, he was really into motorcycles.
[13:20] And so she'd be the passenger.
[13:23] And this one fellow she dated was a pilot,
[13:26] small cop planes, and he let her fly.
[13:30] And it seemed to be exciting people that she would date.
[13:35] In 2006, Angel decides to put herself out there.
[13:39] So she signs up to a dating app.
[13:41] And then days after, she meets a man who's a father of two.
[13:44] What you can't live without?
[13:46] My dreams of finding happiness and love.
[13:48] My true love is out there still to be found.
[13:50] The last book you read.
[13:52] Stories with werewolves, vampires, and other magical creatures.
[13:55] My sons are both in scouting, so we like to go camping at things like that.
[13:58] I'm good at dream interpretation.
[13:59] I live with and take care of my mom.
[14:01] You place a strong emphasis on family as well.
[14:03] I would love one day to get my poetry published.
[14:05] I've dreamed of a knight in shining armor.
[14:07] Don't laugh, but I've kept a medallion of gold and silver
[14:10] of a knight upon a steed for the day I meet him.
[14:13] Angel is discovering so much more about David Hoshaw.
[14:19] He is an electrical designer.
[14:21] He's a scoutmaster.
[14:23] He's seeming more and more to her like he could be the one.
[14:29] I remember Angel telling me he seemed sweet.
[14:32] She told me he had two boys, and they were a big part of his life.
[14:37] I think Angel wanted from David just to kind of be that prince charming,
[14:43] that knight in shining armor.
[14:46] Angel meets the sons, all great.
[14:48] And even meets David's ex-wife, Naomi.
[14:50] David was an Eagle Scout, so of course he got the boys into scouting.
[14:55] They went camping with the scouts, and they really enjoyed it.
[15:00] He was an adoring father.
[15:02] When I first met David, my initial thought was,
[15:06] he looks cuddly.
[15:07] He looks cuddly to me.
[15:09] Within a matter of months, they fall in love.
[15:12] David proposes, and now he's moved in with her and Vonda.
[15:16] And Angel is just off and running, planning a wedding.
[15:20] December 18th, 2006.
[15:24] David Wayne Hosha Jr.
[15:26] David is my fiancé, and this will be the first of many Christmas memories that we will treasure.
[15:32] We are planning on being married September 15th, 2007.
[15:36] Angel was into the Renaissance, and she was having a special dress made.
[15:44] It was very much Angel.
[15:46] It was red trim, you know, just kind of fairy tale.
[15:49] And her shoes she actually bought from a store and decorated them the way she wanted them,
[15:57] you know, artists and all.
[15:58] I think my married name will be pretty.
[16:01] Angelique Elaine Hosha.
[16:04] I wonder if our children will have dark hair like me and blue eyes like David.
[16:09] I still have the dress that I purchased to wear as maid of honor.
[16:16] Of course, neither of those dresses are ever worn.
[16:19] Two months before her wedding, Angel is killed.
[16:27] Police don't have much to work with at this point.
[16:29] Just a dying declaration with the name Walter Lucas.
[16:33] Who is this guy?
[16:34] Police need to track him down.
[16:37] Turns out Walter isn't hard to find.
[16:40] Walter is my ex-husband.
[16:42] We were married in our 20s.
[16:43] And then, you know, we got divorced.
[16:45] But he stayed in touch with the family.
[16:47] Everybody loved him.
[16:48] Not only does he seem unlikely, the detectives find that on the night of the murder,
[16:52] Walter was more than 200 miles away.
[16:55] When the detectives told me that Vonda mentioned my name,
[16:59] I knew I wasn't the one because, first off, I wasn't there.
[17:03] And I knew that she had Alzheimer's.
[17:06] I just shrugged it off.
[17:09] But he said my DNA was there.
[17:11] And I said, well, of course, I was there the week before visiting them.
[17:15] But his alibi checks out, so they have to cross Walter Lucas off the list.
[17:19] At the time that I was interviewed by the detectives,
[17:23] they said they don't have any leads.
[17:25] If there is no break-in, the next question police ask is who could get into the house?
[17:31] The only people with keys are the two dead women and members of the immediate family.
[17:37] Everyone who has a key, family, David the fiancé, all have alibis too.
[17:41] The family members confirmed that David Hoshaw is a couple hours away,
[17:46] and he's on the Middle Peninsula in Virginia at a Boy Scout week-long camp.
[17:54] David is with his 12-year-old son.
[17:56] Other parents see him there at 11 o'clock Friday night.
[17:59] Now, 6.30 Saturday morning, he's there for camp breakfast.
[18:04] And David drives back into Norfolk that afternoon.
[18:07] That Saturday was when he had brought my oldest back to me.
[18:12] And everything was fine.
[18:14] The police track him down, and they tell him that they need him to come down to the station.
[18:19] And then I'd gotten the call from the police department saying that my ex-husband was there
[18:24] and that he needed a ride.
[18:28] The whole time, I'm like, what happened?
[18:32] David just said, well, you know, if I was there, I could have saved him.
[18:36] I'm like, what do you mean if you were there, you could have saved him?
[18:41] You would be dead too.
[18:43] And yeah, it was confusing, because we had nobody to go after.
[18:46] No evidence.
[18:49] Days are passing, and there's no arrest.
[18:52] No clues.
[18:53] No clear direction.
[18:54] They want justice.
[18:55] They want answers.
[18:57] It takes a little piece of your soul, and it breaks your heart just a little more every
[19:01] time you have to tell them that there's no breakthrough in the case.
[19:04] But two weeks later, a pretty startling development.
[19:07] A single piece of paper changes it all.
[19:09] It's a confession.
[19:10] You need a homicide victim's family for the first time.
[19:22] They don't know you from anybody in the world.
[19:24] And you suddenly are handling the most important thing in their life, the case involving the
[19:29] death of their mother and their sister.
[19:31] The police at this point are just stymied.
[19:34] It's been a month since the murders.
[19:35] There is no evidence.
[19:37] But then a development that most murder investigations never see.
[19:40] Letter from the killer, and it's postmarked from Chicago.
[19:45] The act of the killing was not enough.
[19:50] Essentially, the killer is reliving it and writing this letter.
[19:53] So that is highly unusual.
[19:55] You don't have a clue, do you?
[20:00] I met the pretty biatch at the beach a few days before I killed her.
[20:04] She had her mother with her.
[20:06] She told me she was getting married in September, but she wanted to have one last fling beforehand.
[20:12] It references Angel and her mother going to the beach.
[20:15] Now investigators cross-check her diary, where she actually talks about going to the beach
[20:20] with her mom.
[20:21] Me and mom decided not to waste a good day, and we're ready to be on the beach by 8 a.m. or so.
[20:31] After that, I'll play the rest of the day slash night by ear.
[20:36] And the dates line up.
[20:38] There's also a description about going to the laundry and everything else, and all that was
[20:43] consistent with the habits of Angel and her mother.
[20:47] How would the writer know all this unless they knew the women, unless they were actually there?
[20:53] When it came to going all the way, she told me she was having second thoughts and couldn't
[20:59] do it.
[21:00] About 12.30 or so, I got my knife and did the dirty deed.
[21:05] What a rush.
[21:07] I should have gagged her first because she screamed and woke up her mother.
[21:10] That's mother M-O-T-H-A.
[21:13] The detectives think the use of that kind of slang, biatch, mother, is kind of a clumsy
[21:20] way of trying to make them think the writer's black.
[21:23] Angel had previously dated white men, African-American men, different types of employment, which is
[21:31] one thing that confused the issue.
[21:33] The writer clearly knows the victims.
[21:37] Don't bother checking for prints or DNA.
[21:40] I'm wearing a bodysuit and gloves.
[21:42] Clearly it showed a killer that was reveling in what he had done.
[21:46] Really was unconcerned with talking about the act itself.
[21:50] And then, lo and behold, a second letter is received.
[21:56] It's mailed from Gaylord, Michigan, which is a small community in the middle of Michigan.
[22:01] This one is so badly spelled, it's hard to read.
[22:03] Let me try.
[22:05] Detectives, I write to you again.
[22:07] I must confess, I have done it for a second time.
[22:11] Friday Street was just the beginning for me.
[22:13] He's now saying that he's killed someone possibly in the Midwest.
[22:18] It gave me such a rush.
[22:20] I can't explain.
[22:21] I will never forget me first.
[22:24] The Goyanas.
[22:25] So now they're checking the Midwest for unexplained homicides.
[22:28] A killer could be roaming from state to state.
[22:31] He could easily have come through Norfolk.
[22:33] Norfolk, Virginia, has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the United States.
[22:40] You have large ports.
[22:41] You have international airports.
[22:43] You're kind of the hub for 95 and 85 areas where people are traveling north and south a lot.
[22:49] We have an extremely psychotic, taunting killer who is taking pleasure in the homicide,
[22:55] who is taunting the police, who writes in a vernacular words that are more commonly used
[23:02] by an African American or someone else other than somebody in the family.
[23:07] Both letters and envelopes were forensically checked.
[23:11] No DNA on either of them.
[23:13] Taunting the police is not a smart move.
[23:16] It tends to make them even more determined.
[23:18] The case is about to add another detective and the most bizarre twist yet.
[23:24] The man comes into the station, says he knows who did it,
[23:27] hands them a ceremonial knife, and tells them he's a vampire.
[23:32] There's no immediately available forensic evidence,
[23:50] meaning that there's no suspect fingerprints.
[23:54] We have no DNA at the scene.
[23:56] The clear investigators won't be able to rely on forensics to identify the killer.
[24:02] No physical evidence, no sign of forced entry.
[24:05] But that in itself gives them two important clues.
[24:09] First, these murders were likely planned.
[24:11] Second, only someone Angel and Vonda know.
[24:15] His friend?
[24:16] Maybe a romantic partner.
[24:18] We have this fiancée, and they're set to get married in September.
[24:24] We aren't aware of any motive for him to want to do harm to his fiancée.
[24:29] And furthermore, he's out of the area.
[24:32] This is a dead end for them.
[24:34] And at this point, the rest of the family and the friends have been ruled out.
[24:39] Prosecutor Phil Evans needs a confidant,
[24:42] someone that he knows will get the job done.
[24:44] So he turns to a man that he's worked with many times in the past.
[24:49] Let's get Rick Malvin on this case.
[24:51] We'll work it together.
[24:55] Phil and I have worked a lot of cases together.
[24:58] I won't say it's like brothers, but it's pretty close.
[25:02] Rick was the best of the best.
[25:05] He was someone who could translate the crime scene,
[25:09] but he also understood what it really means to develop evidence for the courtroom.
[25:14] I went to the house with Detective Malvin.
[25:20] We walked through it.
[25:23] We could still feel the murder in the house.
[25:28] I knew that this case was going to be difficult.
[25:32] But deep down, I felt that this was a solvable case.
[25:35] It may have taken time, but it was going to be a solvable case.
[25:39] They approached this from the standpoint of,
[25:42] we're going to start at ground zero.
[25:44] We weren't at the crime scene.
[25:45] We're going to go back and go through everything
[25:47] so that we are comfortable nothing was missed.
[25:52] Nobody is perfect when they commit a murder.
[25:54] I may overlook something, but there is no such thing as the perfect murder.
[26:01] At this point, Evans and Malvin are worried about something else.
[26:04] The killer made it pretty clear he's not only one step ahead of the cops,
[26:08] but the murder spree isn't over.
[26:10] Anyone working that case should have taken that letter personally, and I did.
[26:15] Then a second letter came in taunting.
[26:19] I must confess, I have done it a second time.
[26:23] I was going to do everything I possibly could to find that person.
[26:27] The cops up here are a lot smarter than you use.
[26:31] It really puts an increased energy on Detective Malvin,
[26:36] and certainly I felt it.
[26:37] We had a victim's family here who was just gutted.
[26:41] They lost their mother and sister,
[26:42] and we had a killer, apparently, who was traveling the country.
[26:47] At the very least, if he wasn't killing other people,
[26:50] he was perversely enjoying having killed the Goyunas.
[26:55] You don't just look at suspects in a murder case.
[26:59] You also look at the victims.
[27:01] By 2008, Detective Malvin and his partner are digging deeper into Angel's past,
[27:05] and they find the ties to Wicca.
[27:07] Remember, Angel and her mom were interested and hung out at this Wiccan bookstore.
[27:14] Angelique's relationship with Wicca was more interest,
[27:19] and I think that kind of trickled down to mom as well,
[27:21] because mom got interested in that.
[27:24] Wicca became popular in America back in the 50s.
[27:27] You know, you can think of lunar rituals and secular worship.
[27:31] It is not black magic and Satanism.
[27:34] It's more defined as nature's religion,
[27:37] where Earth is a source of spiritual power.
[27:41] Angel had become associated with a group
[27:46] that loosely operated out of a bookstore called the Mystic Moon.
[27:51] Wiccan rituals often involve a special set of mystical tools,
[27:55] commonly including a wand, a pentacle, a chalice,
[27:58] and a large knife called an athene, used only for symbolic purposes.
[28:04] To the police, that opened a Pandora's box of,
[28:08] well, who did she meet there?
[28:11] January 2, 2008, there's a call to the Norfolk Police Department.
[28:17] There's a man that wants to talk to you on the Goyuna case.
[28:20] He considered himself a vampire.
[28:28] We met with him.
[28:31] We invited him down to the office.
[28:33] And he said he was part of that community
[28:36] where there were some people who were involved in vampirism.
[28:41] He also disturbingly implied to the detectives
[28:46] that he may know something about Angel's murder.
[28:53] He produced a knife that he said
[28:55] that was used by someone else to commit the murders.
[28:59] So now the detectives had a knife in their possession.
[29:02] The case is taking a pretty bizarre turn.
[29:04] More than six months after Angel and Vonda were stabbed to death,
[29:07] Detective Malvin is sitting across from a self-described vampire,
[29:11] someone who claims to draw pleasure from ingesting blood,
[29:14] and someone who turns over an athene knife
[29:16] he says is the murder weapon.
[29:18] The knife was submitted to the lab.
[29:23] The DNA, blood trace,
[29:26] and the knife could not have made the injuries on the bodies.
[29:30] And so once we talked to him
[29:33] and knew that he was not close to the family,
[29:37] I didn't have a problem eliminating him.
[29:39] It's another costly detour, squandering time and resources.
[29:44] So Evans and Malvin take a harder look at someone
[29:47] who seemed to have an airtight alibi,
[29:49] Angel's fiancé, David Hoshaw.
[29:52] He came to take his sons to a Boy Scout camp.
[29:57] He had been away from his fiancé for a while.
[30:02] He certainly could have left a Boy Scout camp.
[30:05] He could get to the house without being noticed.
[30:08] We looked into David Hoshaw's background.
[30:14] The more we looked,
[30:14] the more disturbing information came.
[30:17] He becomes stronger, not by evidence of this crime,
[30:21] but by information about his behavior in the back.
[30:30] We had a 74-year-old woman killed.
[30:34] A 35-year-old woman killed.
[30:37] Somebody needed to tell her story.
[30:41] That's it.
[30:53] The house looks so different.
[30:56] Everything's changed.
[30:57] Everything's new.
[30:59] And that's a good thing.
[31:01] Detective Rick Malvin is a veteran homicide detective
[31:04] with 15 years under his belt.
[31:06] But this case is different.
[31:08] Malvin begins an investigation that will span two years,
[31:11] four states and a couple thousand miles.
[31:15] I got here during the early morning hours.
[31:19] The initial investigators were here on scene when I arrived.
[31:24] Rick Malvin was one of our senior homicide detectives.
[31:27] He was definitely one of the go-to guys.
[31:29] He had a very good reputation.
[31:35] Detective Malvin was just very focused,
[31:38] and it was like the bulldog sense about him
[31:41] that he's going to get something done.
[31:43] You know, he's going to do something.
[31:44] When I go to work on homicide,
[31:50] when I roll out, I pray.
[31:54] And that's for my mother.
[31:56] I pray that I don't get tunnel vision
[31:59] and let me see through the lies.
[32:02] Fishing through all the lies,
[32:03] Detective Rick Malvin and his partner,
[32:06] they've been following dozens of leads.
[32:08] All of them are dead ends.
[32:10] The only real solid clue that they have at this point
[32:12] are these two letters.
[32:14] But who wrote those letters?
[32:16] And was it truly the killer?
[32:17] I can't remember a case where the police department
[32:21] ever received legitimate letters like this
[32:25] in connection with a real homicide.
[32:27] Can you?
[32:27] No.
[32:28] We explored the possibility of it being a serial killer.
[32:32] Letters were taken to the FBI lab,
[32:34] and they determined that it wasn't a serial killer.
[32:37] So that narrowed down our search,
[32:43] and David Halshaw looked more like a suspect to me.
[32:48] There's no reason to write a letter like that
[32:52] other than to try to throw the police off.
[32:55] Obviously, whoever wrote it
[32:57] put Norfolk in strange handwriting
[33:00] that's not the same as the return address.
[33:03] Part of trying to look at everything
[33:06] is each person of interest,
[33:09] we want to know everything we can about them.
[33:12] My way of doing my job
[33:14] and Rick Malvin's way of doing his job
[33:16] is we're going to get every detail we know.
[33:17] We're talking about this guy, David Halshaw.
[33:20] Who is he?
[33:20] For Angel, David Halshaw is the man
[33:25] she wants to grow old with.
[33:27] But in the month before they exchange wedding vows,
[33:30] it's clear she is having serious doubts.
[33:33] I haven't heard from David
[33:34] except before work this morning.
[33:36] He says he misses me,
[33:38] and I hope he does because I miss him.
[33:40] Halshaw has a job doing electrical work
[33:42] for a Virginia company with U.S. Navy contracts.
[33:45] Detectives learn he tells Angel
[33:47] he's been placed on a project in the Midwest.
[33:50] Most of the time, he'll be living up there
[33:52] and commuting back to Norfolk.
[33:54] But you've got to ask,
[33:55] is that really why he's gone?
[33:58] Angel's diary entries in the last weeks of her life,
[34:01] she was frustrated on one level
[34:03] because he didn't seem to be engaged
[34:07] and he didn't seem to be his normal demeanor towards her.
[34:10] It just makes you feel ignored
[34:12] when you get only less than five minutes on a call
[34:15] when you need way more to feel loved and appreciated.
[34:19] He worked for a naval contractor.
[34:21] He was supposedly building a ship.
[34:23] But why are you building a ship in Wisconsin or Michigan?
[34:27] How is it?
[34:28] It didn't make sense.
[34:31] You would think it would be built in Norfolk,
[34:33] not the Midwest, Great Lakes.
[34:36] I've been filled with all sorts of doubts and worries,
[34:41] but I think the part of me is slowly learning to trust David
[34:44] and that he is not like the guys in my past
[34:47] that betrayed and hurt me.
[34:48] I hope this means my capacity to love is increasing as well.
[34:52] There were definitely red flags
[34:54] that David possibly was cheating
[34:56] or hiding something from Angel
[35:00] just when she couldn't get a hold of him
[35:02] and he's not where he's supposed to be.
[35:05] When the forensic investigators were going through the house,
[35:11] one of the things that was of interest was a computer.
[35:16] We got the search warrant for the computer
[35:19] and once we got it to Forensic,
[35:22] that's when we found out when he changed that password.
[35:26] The forensic analysis of the computer
[35:28] revealed that on June 24, 2007,
[35:33] David Hoshaw, as the administrator for the computer,
[35:37] changed the password to For Amanda.
[35:39] Amanda, if David's marrying Angel in two months,
[35:43] who is Amanda?
[35:45] Amanda came into the picture
[35:47] when we realized David Hoshaw
[35:50] had changed the password on the computer.
[35:53] It's early 2007.
[35:55] Angel is buzzing, planning for this wedding.
[35:58] Turns out, David Hoshaw,
[36:00] he actually goes back to the dating websites
[36:03] and he ends up connecting with
[36:06] and starts to date another woman.
[36:12] So while he's traveling for business
[36:15] to stay up there to work,
[36:19] he was actually cultivating another relationship
[36:21] in that area to Amanda,
[36:24] to another woman.
[36:26] All the while,
[36:27] Angel is preparing for a wedding in September.
[36:33] Angel was very trusting,
[36:34] but when someone hasn't necessarily
[36:36] given you initially a reason to doubt them,
[36:40] why should you?
[36:42] That password unlocks more than a computer.
[36:45] It also opens an exhaustive search.
[36:48] Detectives start digging into everything
[36:49] David Hoshaw said he was doing
[36:51] before, during, and after the killings,
[36:53] starting with his airtight alibi.
[36:56] Was he really in Boy Scout camp
[36:58] the night of the murders?
[37:00] We knew he was roughly 80 miles away
[37:03] at 11 p.m. at night
[37:05] and he was there at 6 in the morning.
[37:07] That is not physically impossible
[37:09] to drive to Norfolk two hours,
[37:12] commit a brutal homicide,
[37:13] and drive back,
[37:14] but it's unlikely behavior.
[37:16] Detective Melvin knows
[37:18] that the whole case is riding on the letters.
[37:20] Prove who sent them,
[37:21] and they have their killer.
[37:26] When you're looking at individuals
[37:28] capable of committing a homicide,
[37:30] David Hoshaw does not jump off the pages.
[37:34] He doesn't look like
[37:35] he's going to be a threat to anybody,
[37:36] but sometimes people that present that way
[37:39] are actually the most dangerous.
[37:42] Turns out, David Hoshaw
[37:44] was more dangerous than anyone imagined.
[37:48] It's like a whole nightmare.
[37:51] I never thought in a million years
[37:52] I would be him.
[37:54] He came down the hall
[37:56] and grabbed my throat
[37:58] and started strangling me.
[38:00] I just felt something just smack
[38:02] across the back of my head,
[38:04] and I just blacked out.
[38:06] In the residence,
[38:15] I was, you know,
[38:16] slightly in shock of what I saw.
[38:18] Two people are no longer with us
[38:20] who should be
[38:21] who were good people.
[38:23] What would possibly be a motive?
[38:26] The murder somehow be tied
[38:28] to Angel's interest in the occult.
[38:31] Remember, Angel and her mom
[38:32] were interested.
[38:33] Whoever did this
[38:34] must be some kind of monster.
[38:36] Extremely psychotic, taunting killer.
[38:39] We got two letters
[38:40] that we have the killer
[38:41] taking credit
[38:42] for the double homicide.
[38:45] I skipped town pretty quick.
[38:47] I move around a lot,
[38:48] so good luck catching me.
[38:52] But if you ever confronted him
[38:54] about anything,
[38:56] the switch would just flip in his brain.
[38:58] I just felt something
[38:59] just smack across the back of my head,
[39:01] and I just blacked out.
[39:04] It was just like
[39:05] I was throwing in an alligator pit,
[39:08] and I needed to fight my way out of it.
[39:10] I think truly
[39:11] there was something
[39:12] more sinister going on.
[39:13] Thank you, Jim.
[39:16] Thank you, Mom.
[39:17] We've had several homicides
[39:27] in the city of Norfolk,
[39:29] multiple deaths.
[39:31] This case was unusual
[39:32] in the sense that
[39:33] it was a mother and daughter.
[39:35] Angel and Vondegoyana
[39:38] were killed so brutally
[39:39] right in their home.
[39:41] How could there be
[39:42] no evidence to go on?
[39:43] There was no signs
[39:44] of 4th century.
[39:45] There was no DNA
[39:46] or fingerprints.
[39:47] The police investigation
[39:48] of everyone Angel knew,
[39:50] including people
[39:50] from the Wicca Bookstore,
[39:52] has led nowhere.
[39:53] And the self-proclaimed vampire
[39:55] who went to the police,
[39:56] it was a false lead.
[39:57] Angel was humble.
[39:59] She was kind.
[40:00] She was writing
[40:01] how excited she was
[40:02] to get married.
[40:03] I was trying to catch a killer.
[40:05] I was going to do everything
[40:05] I possibly could
[40:06] to find that person.
[40:11] Where do they go from here?
[40:13] Angel's best friend
[40:14] thinks she knows.
[40:16] It was David.
[40:17] Just had a feeling.
[40:21] Remember,
[40:22] early in their investigation,
[40:24] police reached out
[40:24] to Angel's fiance,
[40:25] David Hoshaw,
[40:26] at the time,
[40:28] he seemed to have
[40:29] a credible alibi.
[40:30] David talks to police
[40:32] and tells them
[40:32] he was about 80 miles away
[40:34] on a Boy Scout trip.
[40:36] But it was some
[40:36] of what David said
[40:37] during this interview
[40:38] that piqued their interest.
[40:40] What was interesting was
[40:41] he never asked them,
[40:43] why do you need
[40:44] to talk to me?
[40:45] If you got called
[40:46] by the homicide squad,
[40:47] your first question is,
[40:48] what is this about?
[40:49] When he was talking
[40:51] to the detectives,
[40:53] he'd tell them,
[40:54] check my E-ZPass.
[40:57] Well, you can leave
[40:57] the E-ZPass
[40:58] at the Boy Scout camp.
[41:00] When a person
[41:01] is being interviewed
[41:01] in a murder investigation
[41:02] and they're providing you
[41:04] a lot of information,
[41:05] it means they're totally innocent
[41:06] or they're somehow involved
[41:08] and they've gone
[41:08] to a lot of trouble
[41:09] to make it look like
[41:10] they're totally innocent.
[41:12] David Hoshaw
[41:13] became like an onion
[41:14] in the case.
[41:15] The more you peeled him back,
[41:16] the more strange information
[41:18] came out.
[41:20] A disturbing picture
[41:21] of Hoshaw's past
[41:22] begins to emerge.
[41:24] We knew that there were
[41:25] at least six women
[41:26] that David Hoshaw
[41:27] was involved in
[41:29] and we investigated
[41:31] all six of them.
[41:33] David Hoshaw
[41:34] had been married
[41:35] three times prior
[41:36] to becoming engaged
[41:38] to Angel.
[41:39] I am Naomi Hoshaw.
[41:40] I was David's first wife.
[41:43] We were 16
[41:44] and we met at Busch Gardens
[41:46] when we worked there.
[41:48] It's all the fun
[41:49] and splendor
[41:49] of old Europe,
[41:51] but a lot closer.
[41:52] At first,
[41:53] neither one of us
[41:54] liked each other.
[41:55] You know,
[41:56] I looked at him like,
[41:57] oh, he's too preppy
[41:58] and his uniform's
[42:00] on too perfect, you know.
[42:01] I gave him
[42:02] a little bit of attention
[42:03] and he gave it back
[42:04] a million fold.
[42:06] I felt special.
[42:07] Of course,
[42:08] when he asked me
[42:08] to marry him,
[42:09] I definitely said yes
[42:10] because that's what I wanted.
[42:12] He then joined
[42:16] the United States Air Force
[42:17] and was transferred
[42:18] out to Spokane,
[42:20] Washington area.
[42:22] And the good times
[42:23] were good,
[42:24] but what I remember
[42:25] are more of
[42:26] the bad times.
[42:29] He would be very
[42:30] lovey-dovey
[42:31] when he wanted to be,
[42:33] but if you ever
[42:34] confronted him
[42:34] about anything,
[42:36] a switch would just
[42:37] flip in his brain.
[42:41] I found out
[42:41] I was pregnant
[42:42] and he was like,
[42:43] no, you're not pregnant,
[42:44] you're not pregnant.
[42:45] And I was.
[42:47] I was on bed rest
[42:48] at the very end
[42:49] and I got up
[42:51] because I wanted
[42:51] something to drink.
[42:53] He came down the hall
[42:56] and grabbed my throat
[42:58] and started strangling me.
[43:02] And my oldest son,
[43:04] he was just screaming
[43:05] and screaming
[43:05] and screaming
[43:06] and he just wouldn't stop.
[43:09] Finally, David let go
[43:11] and I went
[43:13] and picked up my oldest son
[43:15] and calmed him down.
[43:17] I was terrified
[43:18] and I didn't know
[43:20] what was going to happen next.
[43:21] And then there were
[43:25] some letters
[43:26] that I found.
[43:28] To my one true love.
[43:30] During his first marriage,
[43:31] David also started
[43:32] to groom an unlawfully
[43:34] touch a 12-year-old
[43:35] friend of the family.
[43:37] I went in there
[43:37] in hopes to be alone with you.
[43:39] Your mom would not have known.
[43:41] I didn't know
[43:42] what was going on.
[43:43] I was naive.
[43:45] You're in your 20s
[43:46] and this person
[43:47] is still in elementary school.
[43:50] Love forever, David.
[43:52] You knew she was 12.
[43:55] That's the part
[43:56] that I could never
[43:57] wrap my head around.
[44:02] Naomi had complained
[44:04] to the United States Air Force
[44:05] about domestic abuse.
[44:07] The 12-year-old girl
[44:08] and her parents
[44:09] cooperated with
[44:09] the United States Air Force.
[44:12] He pled guilty
[44:12] to both indecent acts
[44:14] and assault
[44:15] on the 12-year-old.
[44:17] The United States Air Force
[44:18] chose not to criminally
[44:20] prosecute him
[44:21] in a court-martial,
[44:23] which could have
[44:23] sent him to prison,
[44:25] and administratively
[44:26] discharged him
[44:27] from the Air Force
[44:28] with an other-than-honorable
[44:30] discharge.
[44:31] I filed for the divorce
[44:33] and he never fought me.
[44:35] After his discharge
[44:39] from the military,
[44:40] David follows his ex-wife Naomi
[44:42] back to Virginia
[44:43] to stay close to his kids
[44:44] where he begins
[44:45] online dating.
[44:47] One of the women
[44:48] that we talked to
[44:50] indicated he said
[44:51] all the right things
[44:52] and he wined and dined them.
[44:54] After Naomi,
[44:56] he got involved
[44:56] with his eventual
[44:58] second wife,
[44:59] who he was married to
[45:00] for a short time.
[45:01] And then there was me.
[45:02] My name is Allison Ashcroft.
[45:06] I am David's third wife.
[45:09] I met David in 2001
[45:11] through an online dating website.
[45:15] He showered a lot of attention
[45:17] on me and that was not
[45:18] something that I was used to.
[45:20] At that time,
[45:21] I was severely overweight.
[45:24] And so that there was
[45:25] this person who found me
[45:27] attractive despite that
[45:28] was just mind-blowing to me.
[45:30] And I thought, you know,
[45:32] I might want to hang on
[45:33] to this one.
[45:34] We were concerned
[45:35] what we learned from Naomi
[45:36] and the domestic assault.
[45:38] We were trying to see
[45:38] if there's a continuity
[45:39] of violence with Hoshaw.
[45:42] I had an injury
[45:44] at David's hands.
[45:46] I was having migraines
[45:47] and dizziness.
[45:49] David had asked
[45:50] if there was anything
[45:51] he could do to help.
[45:52] And we had a massage roller.
[45:54] So he started rolling
[45:55] this thing back and forth
[45:56] across my neck.
[45:58] He started moving
[45:59] a little faster
[45:59] and he was lifting
[46:01] the roller up off my neck.
[46:02] And then eventually
[46:04] I just felt something
[46:05] just smack across
[46:06] the back of my head.
[46:07] And I just blacked out.
[46:13] When I came to,
[46:14] he was standing
[46:15] on the side of the bed
[46:16] looking down at me
[46:18] saying,
[46:18] do you think we need
[46:19] to go to the hospital?
[46:23] Hoshaw came up
[46:24] with some story
[46:25] that did not include
[46:27] any acknowledgement
[46:27] he had something
[46:28] to do with it.
[46:29] I don't think anything
[46:30] was really said
[46:31] other than he may have
[46:32] said he was sorry
[46:33] and that the roller
[46:35] just slipped out of his hands.
[46:37] Now I realize, you know,
[46:38] I was young and naive then
[46:40] that I think truly
[46:41] there was something
[46:42] more sinister going on.
[46:44] It left that nagging
[46:45] seed of doubt
[46:46] in her mind.
[46:48] In 2005,
[46:50] he said,
[46:51] this marriage
[46:51] isn't working out.
[46:52] I said,
[46:52] I can't do this anymore.
[46:54] I'll pack my stuff up
[46:55] in the morning
[46:55] and I'll be gone
[46:58] and we can get a divorce.
[47:01] I think
[47:02] if I had tried
[47:04] to work things out
[47:05] with him,
[47:05] if I had stayed,
[47:08] I might not be
[47:09] sitting here right now.
[47:10] As detectives
[47:13] dig into all
[47:14] of David Hoshaw's
[47:15] past relationships,
[47:17] they learn that
[47:17] his trail of lies
[47:19] and deceptions
[47:19] only continues to grow.
[47:22] Very soon,
[47:23] he would move on
[47:23] to a relationship
[47:24] with Angel.
[47:25] And that's when
[47:26] he got ugly.
[47:28] Now that the authorities
[47:36] have learned
[47:37] about David Hoshaw's
[47:38] disturbing past,
[47:39] the question becomes,
[47:41] what exactly happened
[47:42] between David
[47:43] and Angel?
[47:44] When Angelique
[47:46] Goyana meets
[47:46] her true love online,
[47:48] there's a lot
[47:48] he isn't telling her.
[47:49] like he's been married
[47:51] three times.
[47:54] I have a huge heart
[47:55] of gold that I want
[47:56] to share with my partner.
[47:57] What he projected
[47:58] was all the type
[47:59] of things Angelique
[48:00] Goyana would want
[48:02] to hear or see
[48:03] in a dating profile.
[48:04] I was happy
[48:05] that my sister
[48:06] found someone,
[48:07] but when I met him,
[48:09] I didn't really care
[48:10] for him.
[48:11] There was something
[48:11] about him I didn't like.
[48:12] You know,
[48:13] this force and energy,
[48:14] it wasn't good,
[48:16] but Angelique liked him,
[48:18] so I'm going to
[48:18] like him too.
[48:20] Within a few months,
[48:20] David Hoshaw
[48:21] is moving in
[48:22] with Angel
[48:22] and Vonda.
[48:24] When we found
[48:25] that out,
[48:26] we were up in arms
[48:27] about that.
[48:28] And he's a bum.
[48:29] He's going to live
[48:29] in my mom's house
[48:30] for nothing?
[48:32] No, we didn't like that.
[48:33] But my mom
[48:34] wasn't here to stay.
[48:36] Angel was hoping
[48:37] that they would
[48:37] live there with her mom
[48:39] and continue
[48:40] to take care of her.
[48:42] Angel's diary entries,
[48:43] they start to change.
[48:45] It's not all hearts
[48:46] and flowers anymore.
[48:47] Why is he so secretive
[48:51] about his money?
[48:52] I know marriage
[48:54] is a matter of trust,
[48:55] but David is weird
[48:56] with money.
[48:57] There was concern
[48:57] that David was not
[48:59] the person he originally
[49:01] appeared to be.
[49:02] Angelique would tell me
[49:03] out of the clear blue
[49:04] that he'd have a look
[49:06] on his face
[49:06] like he was disgusted
[49:08] with her,
[49:09] and that would really
[49:10] bother her.
[49:11] David was wanting her
[49:13] to put Vonda
[49:14] in a managed care facility
[49:16] and Angel was
[49:17] vehemently against that.
[49:20] He's been grumpy
[49:21] and moody.
[49:23] Tonight he was even
[49:24] arguing with mom.
[49:26] I stood up for her,
[49:26] of course,
[49:27] but it put me
[49:28] in a strange place
[49:29] between mom,
[49:30] who I love,
[49:31] and David,
[49:32] who I love.
[49:34] David didn't seem
[49:35] to have jumped in
[49:36] on getting the wedding
[49:37] preparations together.
[49:39] He did nothing.
[49:40] He proposed
[49:41] and that was it.
[49:42] She's bugging
[49:43] Hoshaw,
[49:44] who do you want
[49:44] to invite?
[49:45] And he kept saying,
[49:46] yeah, yeah,
[49:46] I'll get them to you.
[49:48] And David Hoshaw
[49:49] is going back and forth
[49:50] to Michigan.
[49:53] He wasn't around
[49:54] and I thought
[49:55] that's strange
[49:56] for somebody
[49:57] who wanted to get married.
[50:00] It said in a
[50:01] condescending tone of voice,
[50:03] don't question me
[50:04] where I am.
[50:06] Doesn't seem like
[50:07] he was feeling
[50:08] warm fuzzies for me,
[50:09] now does it?
[50:09] Angelique called me
[50:14] and she was really upset
[50:16] and said that
[50:17] she'd had a bad dream.
[50:19] That she dreamed
[50:20] he was kissing
[50:21] someone else
[50:22] and I tried to console her.
[50:25] You're getting cold feet
[50:26] or something like that.
[50:27] Now I kind of,
[50:28] looking back at him,
[50:29] like, oh my gosh.
[50:31] In spite of all
[50:32] the red flags,
[50:33] even the day
[50:34] before she is killed,
[50:36] Angel is still
[50:36] looking forward
[50:37] to the wedding.
[50:38] Friday,
[50:39] 77 days and counting.
[50:41] After work today,
[50:43] as I always do,
[50:44] I check my voicemail
[50:45] and guess who
[50:46] finally called?
[50:48] David.
[50:49] He'll be home
[50:50] sometime tomorrow
[50:51] and for that
[50:51] I am very glad.
[50:54] That is written
[50:55] just hours
[50:56] before she dies.
[50:59] Initially,
[50:59] the family is going
[51:00] to the house
[51:01] and they're going
[51:02] through personal belongings.
[51:04] We gathered
[51:05] and tried to
[51:06] find out
[51:06] what would possibly
[51:08] be a motive.
[51:09] There were forensic
[51:10] investigators still
[51:11] working on the house,
[51:12] trying to make sure
[51:13] they didn't miss
[51:14] some forensic evidence.
[51:15] There was nothing,
[51:16] nothing important
[51:17] to anybody.
[51:18] We didn't think
[51:19] it was going
[51:19] to be solved.
[51:21] A couple times,
[51:22] Hoshaw showed up there,
[51:23] which they thought
[51:23] was strange.
[51:25] He was allowed
[51:26] access to the house.
[51:28] He should not
[51:29] have been allowed
[51:29] in the house.
[51:30] I think he got
[51:31] anything he wanted
[51:32] that could destroy
[51:34] the case.
[51:35] And maybe he did.
[51:36] I just noticed,
[51:37] why isn't he grieving?
[51:39] He doesn't even
[51:39] appear to be shocked.
[51:40] At the viewing
[51:43] at the funeral home,
[51:44] entire family shows up.
[51:45] Who doesn't show up?
[51:46] David Hoshaw.
[51:48] Angel's sisters
[51:49] and her brother
[51:50] are like,
[51:51] there's something up
[51:51] with David Hoshaw.
[51:54] Not only is David Hoshaw
[51:55] a no-show
[51:56] at his fiancee's funeral,
[51:57] he makes another
[51:58] stunning move.
[51:59] He packs up,
[52:00] leaves Norfolk,
[52:01] and moves to Michigan
[52:02] to be with a new girlfriend.
[52:05] Remember,
[52:06] as police were
[52:07] investigating Hoshaw,
[52:08] they discovered
[52:09] that shortly before
[52:09] the murder,
[52:10] he changed his
[52:11] computer password
[52:12] to For Amanda.
[52:18] Marky?
[52:21] Tell me your first name
[52:22] and how you were
[52:23] connected to this case.
[52:24] Amanda and I was
[52:24] engaged to David Hoshaw.
[52:27] At Amanda's request,
[52:28] we are not using
[52:28] her last name
[52:29] and have altered
[52:30] her appearance.
[52:32] He told me that
[52:33] his ex, Angelique,
[52:36] was murdered.
[52:37] He was distraught.
[52:38] He was confused.
[52:40] He went to the
[52:40] police department
[52:41] and they're questioning him.
[52:44] And I asked him,
[52:45] I said,
[52:45] did you do it?
[52:46] And he said,
[52:47] no.
[52:48] He said he was cleared.
[52:50] So I, you know,
[52:50] I believed him.
[52:52] When I found out
[52:53] that he had another woman,
[52:55] I went,
[52:55] oh my gosh,
[52:56] Angelique's dream.
[52:57] It's like she was right.
[53:00] I set up a meeting
[53:01] with the victim's family
[53:02] and they were adamant
[53:04] that they knew
[53:05] it was David Hoshaw.
[53:06] We all thought
[53:07] it was him.
[53:08] We had to get him
[53:09] charged for fear
[53:10] that he would do
[53:10] something else.
[53:21] David Hoshaw is now
[53:22] living with his girlfriend,
[53:24] Amanda.
[53:24] And while police
[53:25] consider him a prime suspect,
[53:27] there's no physical evidence
[53:28] linking him to the murders.
[53:30] The detectives in this case
[53:33] may feel like David Hoshaw
[53:34] is the killer,
[53:35] but they can't yet prove it.
[53:36] And hunches don't count
[53:38] in a courtroom.
[53:39] We have circumstances.
[53:40] We have behavior
[53:41] that is strange,
[53:42] but we have to demonstrate
[53:44] there is no other person
[53:46] that could have committed
[53:47] the homicide.
[53:50] We looked at everything
[53:51] that David Hoshaw did
[53:54] before the homicide
[53:55] and after the homicide.
[54:02] We got two letters
[54:03] that we have a killer
[54:05] taking credit
[54:06] for the double homicide.
[54:07] Yep.
[54:08] But we needed evidence
[54:09] that showed that Hoshaw
[54:11] was the only person
[54:11] that could have mailed
[54:12] the letters.
[54:16] This is the envelope
[54:17] of the first letter
[54:19] that was mailed
[54:20] on July 23rd
[54:21] from Curtis Collins
[54:23] Processing Station
[54:25] in Chicago.
[54:27] But you were able
[54:28] to nail it down
[54:29] to one specific
[54:30] distribution center
[54:33] that would have applied
[54:33] that postmark.
[54:36] We had to try
[54:37] to find something
[54:38] that would put him
[54:39] around Chicago.
[54:41] So we had to try
[54:43] to rebuild
[54:43] David Hoshaw's activities.
[54:47] If they can connect
[54:48] the dots of cell phone
[54:49] records and credit card
[54:50] receipts, they can use
[54:52] the paper drill
[54:53] that Hoshaw left
[54:54] and trap him.
[54:55] We started following
[54:56] the cell phone records
[54:58] of David Hoshaw.
[54:59] There was a cell call
[55:01] that bounced off
[55:02] a tower within a few
[55:04] miles of where this
[55:05] letter would have had
[55:06] to have been mailed.
[55:08] That was really key
[55:09] that we were able
[55:10] to put him between
[55:11] 2.1 and 12.6 miles
[55:14] from that post office.
[55:16] So evidence places
[55:18] David in Chicago
[55:19] near the post office
[55:20] on the same day
[55:21] the first letter
[55:22] was mailed.
[55:23] Can they connect them
[55:23] to the second letter?
[55:25] But this one was mailed
[55:26] nowhere near Chicago.
[55:28] August 15th.
[55:29] That letter is dropped
[55:30] in the mailbox
[55:31] in Gaylord, Michigan,
[55:32] which is a small community
[55:34] in the middle of Michigan,
[55:35] middle of nowhere.
[55:37] David Hoshaw's credit card
[55:38] purchases opened a window
[55:41] because his purchase history
[55:43] was literally a road map.
[55:46] We knew that David Hoshaw
[55:49] took his new girlfriend Amanda
[55:52] on a little celebratory road trip.
[55:56] Tell me about that.
[55:59] Why did you take that trip?
[56:01] We went on a trip
[56:02] because I had a doctor's appointment
[56:04] and we started off
[56:06] in our town
[56:07] and we stopped
[56:07] at all these little
[56:08] different places.
[56:10] There were hotels.
[56:12] There was the zoo,
[56:14] IHOP,
[56:16] movie theaters.
[56:17] We followed all of them.
[56:18] Yeah, he's showing Amanda
[56:23] the good time.
[56:24] You know,
[56:25] he's trying to impress her.
[56:26] August 13th and 14th,
[56:28] he was consistently
[56:29] making purchases
[56:30] moving southward
[56:32] on the interstate
[56:33] to the point
[56:34] where he would go
[56:35] through Gaylord
[56:35] on August 15th.
[56:39] Within a few-hour time frame,
[56:40] he made purchases
[56:41] north of Gaylord
[56:42] and then south of Gaylord.
[56:44] There's a single highway
[56:45] running through it.
[56:47] What are the odds
[56:48] it's going to be somebody else
[56:49] who mailed that letter?
[56:50] So never saw him
[56:53] stepping away
[56:54] to go to the post office
[56:55] or mail anything?
[56:57] No.
[56:58] Nothing unusual.
[56:59] I mean,
[57:00] I'm usually the one
[57:00] that's gone,
[57:02] you know,
[57:02] stepping out somewhere.
[57:04] Now they've got
[57:04] a string of receipts
[57:06] and cell phone records
[57:07] that all connect David
[57:08] to the letters.
[57:09] The problem with that is
[57:10] that doesn't go into court
[57:11] and prove anything.
[57:13] Could the answer be witnesses?
[57:15] It is always
[57:16] a lot more powerful
[57:17] when you have an eyewitness.
[57:18] That carries a lot more weight
[57:20] in front of a jury.
[57:23] So Detective Malvin
[57:23] and his partner
[57:24] go on a road trip
[57:25] talking to store owners
[57:27] and vendors
[57:27] and trying to get them
[57:29] to come into court.
[57:30] We ended up with
[57:31] 23 to 25 different people
[57:33] subpoenaed in this case.
[57:34] They present their case
[57:35] to the grand jury
[57:36] and get an indictment
[57:37] and an arrest warrant
[57:38] for David Hosha.
[57:47] David Hosha had set up
[57:48] a separate life.
[57:49] He was moving on.
[57:50] We knew Amanda
[57:51] had now changed her life
[57:53] to live with David Hosha
[57:54] and take him into her home.
[57:57] David and Amanda
[57:58] have a child
[57:58] and Amanda's due
[57:59] with their second.
[58:00] But things seem
[58:01] to be headed downhill.
[58:03] David's changed.
[58:04] He was acting weird.
[58:07] I'd find him
[58:07] in random places.
[58:09] I'm like,
[58:10] what are you doing?
[58:11] Why are you sitting here?
[58:13] He never had an answer.
[58:15] We wanted David Hosha
[58:17] not to be prepared
[58:18] for what was happening
[58:19] and we wanted
[58:20] to create an impact
[58:22] upon Amanda.
[58:23] So 2009,
[58:26] you're pregnant
[58:26] with your second child
[58:27] and you hear
[58:29] a knock on the door.
[58:30] I didn't get
[58:31] no knock on the door.
[58:32] So tell me
[58:33] about what happened.
[58:34] It was 4 a.m.
[58:37] And they rush in.
[58:42] One officer pushes me
[58:44] to the side.
[58:45] I'm asking
[58:46] what's going on.
[58:47] So they're running in
[58:48] and just grabbing David
[58:49] and telling you.
[58:50] Yeah, they threw him
[58:51] on the ground.
[58:52] I have a baby
[58:53] in the other room.
[58:54] I'm just asking
[58:55] what's going on.
[58:56] Well, he's under arrest.
[58:59] David Hosha stepped out.
[59:00] He was handcuffed
[59:01] and escorted out
[59:02] of the house.
[59:05] And he finally told me
[59:06] that he murdered
[59:07] two people,
[59:08] his ex.
[59:09] But really,
[59:10] to find out
[59:10] he was his fiancée.
[59:12] It wasn't his ex-fiancée.
[59:13] It was just his fiancée.
[59:16] What did you say?
[59:17] I was stunned
[59:17] because I thought
[59:19] he was cleared.
[59:20] He was transported
[59:23] to a state police barracks.
[59:27] That was the first chance
[59:29] that Detective Malvin
[59:30] had to talk to
[59:32] David Hosha.
[59:33] You ever been advised
[59:34] you to write before?
[59:35] Yes, I have.
[59:35] I didn't even get time
[59:37] to even process anything.
[59:39] I just...
[59:39] It's like I was thrown
[59:40] in an alligator pit
[59:42] and I needed to fight
[59:43] my way out of it.
[59:45] Amanda has no idea
[59:47] that she's about
[59:48] to break the case.
[59:49] Did you do?
[59:53] Did you?
[59:56] I didn't have a confession
[1:00:06] from David Hosha.
[1:00:07] I had all this other evidence.
[1:00:08] The only way he could
[1:00:09] say something
[1:00:09] is if tactically
[1:00:11] and psychologically
[1:00:11] we got under his skin.
[1:00:13] Do you understand
[1:00:14] the statement you made
[1:00:15] maybe you just got
[1:00:16] an issue of court
[1:00:16] and a lot of words
[1:00:17] that's no secret issue?
[1:00:19] Yes, sir.
[1:00:19] We're here
[1:00:20] to talk to you
[1:00:21] about the deaths
[1:00:23] of Angelique
[1:00:23] and Bonk.
[1:00:24] When we walked
[1:00:26] into that interview room
[1:00:28] I expected
[1:00:29] to get a confession.
[1:00:30] I was so pumped.
[1:00:32] Do you recall
[1:00:34] mail of a letter
[1:00:35] from Northropshire Park?
[1:00:40] I don't know what you said
[1:00:41] left.
[1:00:46] That's an envelope.
[1:00:46] The person
[1:00:51] that mailed that letter
[1:00:53] for credit for the deaths
[1:00:56] of Angelique
[1:00:57] and Bonk.
[1:00:59] Okay.
[1:01:00] I think he was unnerved
[1:01:03] but trying not to show it
[1:01:04] and he's sort of like
[1:01:06] processing the situation
[1:01:08] talking in a normal
[1:01:09] turn of the voice.
[1:01:10] You were playing
[1:01:11] 2.1 miles
[1:01:12] of the post office
[1:01:14] that processed that life.
[1:01:16] Okay.
[1:01:18] You think
[1:01:18] it was not a coincidence?
[1:01:20] But like I said
[1:01:21] I don't remember
[1:01:22] being in there
[1:01:23] on July 23rd.
[1:01:24] Okay.
[1:01:25] But what?
[1:01:26] That would be
[1:01:26] one hell of a coincidence.
[1:01:27] One hell of a coincidence.
[1:01:28] I wanted David
[1:01:30] to know
[1:01:31] that we knew
[1:01:33] almost better than him
[1:01:34] what he had done
[1:01:36] after the homicide.
[1:01:37] Let me give you
[1:01:39] a little history
[1:01:40] on your trip.
[1:01:41] You stayed at the
[1:01:41] comfort end
[1:01:42] room 333.
[1:01:45] You had an IHOP
[1:01:46] you had a potato pancake breakfast
[1:01:47] a plum cake meal.
[1:01:49] There is a psychological
[1:01:50] tactical game
[1:01:52] that goes on
[1:01:53] in the room.
[1:01:54] And it's hard.
[1:01:54] I know
[1:01:55] it's hard talking
[1:01:56] about it the first time
[1:01:57] but I guarantee you
[1:01:58] once you get it
[1:01:59] off your chest
[1:02:00] you're going to feel
[1:02:01] a lot better.
[1:02:03] I know your heart
[1:02:03] is burning right now man.
[1:02:07] It got to a point
[1:02:08] where I told him
[1:02:10] that he wasn't going home.
[1:02:12] That he was going
[1:02:12] coming back to Norfolk
[1:02:13] to stand trial
[1:02:14] for killing Angelique
[1:02:15] and Vonda.
[1:02:17] And then he broke my heart.
[1:02:21] I need to speak
[1:02:21] to an attorney.
[1:02:22] I need to speak
[1:02:24] to an attorney.
[1:02:25] Okay.
[1:02:27] He said
[1:02:28] I need to talk
[1:02:29] to an attorney.
[1:02:30] He knocked me down.
[1:02:32] I didn't get anything
[1:02:32] from him.
[1:02:33] He lowered it up
[1:02:34] and I knew
[1:02:37] he wanted to talk
[1:02:37] to Amanda
[1:02:38] and Amanda
[1:02:39] had asked
[1:02:40] to talk to him.
[1:02:40] I asked
[1:02:42] if I could speak
[1:02:43] with David
[1:02:44] and find out
[1:02:44] what's going on.
[1:02:46] They told me
[1:02:47] we'll get him ready.
[1:02:48] So I waited.
[1:02:51] I want to let Amanda
[1:02:52] go.
[1:02:52] You want to see her?
[1:02:54] It was one of those
[1:02:58] things where sometimes
[1:02:59] like it's the drop
[1:03:00] of water
[1:03:00] in a still pool.
[1:03:02] You allow the drop
[1:03:03] to fall
[1:03:03] and then it will
[1:03:04] take its own course.
[1:03:05] Did you do it?
[1:03:26] Excuse me mom.
[1:03:27] Did you?
[1:03:31] I love you.
[1:03:31] I love my heart.
[1:03:33] Did you hurt these people?
[1:03:37] We have kids.
[1:03:38] I know we do.
[1:03:39] I've asked
[1:03:41] for an attorney.
[1:03:41] I don't want to say
[1:03:42] anything else
[1:03:43] in front of a police
[1:03:44] office.
[1:03:45] So what did
[1:03:46] detectives say to you
[1:03:48] about talking to David
[1:03:49] during the interrogation?
[1:03:50] That I would have
[1:03:51] a private conversation
[1:03:52] in a room
[1:03:54] and I could talk to him
[1:03:56] and it would be
[1:03:56] just me and him.
[1:03:58] Let me do you guys
[1:03:59] just one.
[1:04:00] Thank you.
[1:04:05] Detective Malbin
[1:04:05] advised David
[1:04:07] Hoshaw
[1:04:07] of his legal rights.
[1:04:08] This was in an interview
[1:04:10] room in which
[1:04:11] there was a camera
[1:04:12] that was discreetly placed.
[1:04:14] So did you know
[1:04:15] it was going to be recorded?
[1:04:16] No.
[1:04:17] I never knew that.
[1:04:18] Maybe I just
[1:04:18] I need
[1:04:19] I'm just
[1:04:20] not the smartest
[1:04:21] cookie in a bunch
[1:04:22] but I thought
[1:04:24] it was just
[1:04:24] a private room.
[1:04:25] He had a right
[1:04:26] to remain solid.
[1:04:27] He didn't have
[1:04:28] to talk to Amanda
[1:04:28] especially about the case.
[1:04:30] He didn't have
[1:04:30] to answer her.
[1:04:37] I got creeped.
[1:04:44] I'm so sorry.
[1:04:45] Looking at you
[1:04:47] on the interrogation tape
[1:04:48] it's almost as if
[1:04:50] you seem like
[1:04:51] you're in physical pain.
[1:04:53] I was sick to know
[1:04:54] that my baby's daddy
[1:04:55] did this.
[1:04:56] I mean come on.
[1:04:58] I was distraught.
[1:04:59] I thought maybe
[1:05:00] I was
[1:05:02] having a nightmare.
[1:05:05] I don't know
[1:05:05] if I could have
[1:05:06] me again.
[1:05:07] I didn't
[1:05:15] I didn't go down there
[1:05:17] with that in my mind.
[1:05:20] I went down there
[1:05:21] to try and break up
[1:05:22] and things got me.
[1:05:23] I was so confused.
[1:05:25] It doesn't make sense to me.
[1:05:27] Why were you there
[1:05:27] at that time?
[1:05:28] If you were going to
[1:05:30] break up with her
[1:05:30] why didn't you do it
[1:05:32] during the day?
[1:05:35] Amanda started going off.
[1:05:38] She picked up the letter.
[1:05:40] They have this letter.
[1:05:42] I was trying to
[1:05:44] get him off my dad.
[1:05:48] He eventually told her
[1:05:49] he mailed a letter
[1:05:50] to get us off the tail.
[1:05:52] So at that point
[1:05:54] I knew I had
[1:05:55] the right person.
[1:05:56] He took ownership
[1:05:57] of being the writer
[1:05:58] of the letters
[1:05:59] in this exchange
[1:06:00] with Amanda
[1:06:01] and he said that
[1:06:03] yeah I mailed them
[1:06:04] to get them off
[1:06:05] my tracks.
[1:06:06] I never understood
[1:06:07] how he had time
[1:06:09] to write these letters.
[1:06:11] So he must have
[1:06:12] wrote them before
[1:06:13] and had them
[1:06:14] ready to go.
[1:06:16] If he had never
[1:06:17] mailed the letters
[1:06:18] there's a very good chance
[1:06:20] the evidence
[1:06:20] would never have developed
[1:06:21] to charge him.
[1:06:23] Did you admit
[1:06:24] to me?
[1:06:26] I think you're pretty much.
[1:06:29] Said enough to Amanda
[1:06:35] to strengthen my case.
[1:06:39] I couldn't wait
[1:06:40] to come out
[1:06:40] and call Phil.
[1:06:43] It was
[1:06:43] a great feeling.
[1:06:45] He acknowledged
[1:06:46] that he went
[1:06:47] to the house
[1:06:48] to break up
[1:06:49] with her
[1:06:49] but then things
[1:06:50] got out of hand.
[1:06:52] He admits
[1:06:53] to her
[1:06:54] sending the letters.
[1:06:56] A confession
[1:06:57] really is
[1:06:58] a mission
[1:07:00] of certain facts.
[1:07:03] She just
[1:07:04] pregnant at the time
[1:07:10] and I just
[1:07:13] found out
[1:07:13] that my man
[1:07:14] is guilty
[1:07:15] of killing
[1:07:16] two
[1:07:17] not one
[1:07:18] but two people.
[1:07:19] All I could think of
[1:07:29] is why I wanted
[1:07:30] to get up
[1:07:30] and slap him.
[1:07:33] His smirky face
[1:07:34] but I didn't
[1:07:37] because
[1:07:37] it wasn't worth it.
[1:07:52] He lies.
[1:08:01] All he does
[1:08:02] is lie.
[1:08:04] I feel
[1:08:04] there's more truth
[1:08:05] to the story
[1:08:06] and I figure
[1:08:07] the only way
[1:08:08] I could get the truth
[1:08:09] is through the courts.
[1:08:11] The man accused
[1:08:14] of killing
[1:08:15] a Norfolk woman
[1:08:16] and her mother
[1:08:16] now faces
[1:08:17] a capital murder
[1:08:18] charge.
[1:08:18] In Norfolk
[1:08:19] yesterday
[1:08:19] a grand jury
[1:08:20] indicted
[1:08:20] David Wayne
[1:08:21] Hosham.
[1:08:22] The problem
[1:08:24] with the case
[1:08:24] is the first
[1:08:25] thing a defense
[1:08:26] attorney is going
[1:08:26] to do
[1:08:26] is stand up
[1:08:27] in court
[1:08:27] and say
[1:08:27] you do not
[1:08:28] have one piece
[1:08:28] of evidence
[1:08:29] that demonstrates
[1:08:30] my client
[1:08:31] committed the crime.
[1:08:33] We want people
[1:08:48] to be held
[1:08:49] accountable
[1:08:50] for their actions.
[1:08:52] Two people
[1:08:52] are no longer
[1:08:53] with us
[1:08:54] who should be.
[1:08:55] His past
[1:08:55] is horrific.
[1:08:56] He preys
[1:08:57] on those
[1:08:58] that are insecure
[1:08:58] and maybe
[1:09:00] people he perceives
[1:09:01] as being weak.
[1:09:02] He was a predator.
[1:09:08] David Hosham
[1:09:09] in jail
[1:09:10] is waiting
[1:09:11] for his murder
[1:09:11] trial to start.
[1:09:12] The prosecution
[1:09:13] seems to feel
[1:09:14] pretty good about this.
[1:09:15] They have a very
[1:09:16] unsympathetic guy
[1:09:17] to put in front
[1:09:17] of this jury.
[1:09:19] It was clear
[1:09:20] he went to great
[1:09:21] ends to try
[1:09:22] to cover his tracks
[1:09:23] and we knew
[1:09:25] that his taunting
[1:09:26] in the letters,
[1:09:27] the boasting
[1:09:28] would not play well
[1:09:29] to a jury.
[1:09:30] But District Attorney
[1:09:31] Evans has a problem.
[1:09:32] The sort of evidence
[1:09:34] he's going to give
[1:09:34] to those 12 people.
[1:09:36] Nobody said
[1:09:37] he did it.
[1:09:38] Nobody said
[1:09:38] he confessed to me
[1:09:39] he did it.
[1:09:39] Nobody forensically
[1:09:40] said it was his
[1:09:41] thumbprint.
[1:09:41] It was his DNA.
[1:09:43] To be blunt,
[1:09:44] what we did
[1:09:44] was we built up
[1:09:45] a case of
[1:09:46] circumstantial evidence
[1:09:47] layering one
[1:09:49] piece of evidence,
[1:09:51] information,
[1:09:51] on top of another.
[1:09:53] This is not
[1:09:54] where a prosecutor
[1:09:54] wants to be.
[1:09:55] Juries like to have
[1:09:56] that smoking gun,
[1:09:57] that forensic proof,
[1:09:59] but that's not
[1:09:59] the hand that he's
[1:10:00] been dealt.
[1:10:01] At the same time,
[1:10:02] the defense is doing
[1:10:03] their job trying
[1:10:04] to exclude evidence
[1:10:05] the prosecutor does
[1:10:06] have, like Angel's
[1:10:07] diary entries.
[1:10:09] David said in a
[1:10:10] condescending tone
[1:10:11] of voice,
[1:10:12] question me where I am.
[1:10:16] They want to throw
[1:10:16] out the interrogation
[1:10:17] video.
[1:10:19] I got a creep.
[1:10:22] But it doesn't work.
[1:10:23] The judge admits it all.
[1:10:24] The diary,
[1:10:25] the interrogation,
[1:10:26] the jury's going to
[1:10:27] see all of it.
[1:10:28] The case was set
[1:10:32] to be tried for a month.
[1:10:34] We had about 140
[1:10:35] witnesses subpoenaed.
[1:10:36] We were ready to go.
[1:10:37] We literally had
[1:10:39] travel arrangements
[1:10:40] for, I think,
[1:10:42] half of the vendors
[1:10:43] in Michigan.
[1:10:44] Shop owners,
[1:10:45] clerks at hotels.
[1:10:47] I don't think anybody
[1:10:48] could have got food
[1:10:49] up and down the
[1:10:50] interstate in the
[1:10:50] middle of Michigan
[1:10:51] because they were all
[1:10:52] coming to Norfolk,
[1:10:52] Virginia for trial.
[1:10:53] We produced a mannequin
[1:11:02] and we asked the
[1:11:03] medical examiner
[1:11:04] to use knitting needles
[1:11:07] and we intended
[1:11:08] to use this at trial
[1:11:09] to demonstrate
[1:11:11] all of the wounds.
[1:11:13] It not only shows
[1:11:14] just the incredible
[1:11:15] sheer number
[1:11:16] of stab wounds
[1:11:17] in this area,
[1:11:18] but it does clearly
[1:11:19] show that Angel
[1:11:20] sustained defensive wounds.
[1:11:23] A demonstration like that
[1:11:24] is so effective
[1:11:25] with the jury.
[1:11:26] It shows the level
[1:11:27] of violence
[1:11:28] of what they call
[1:11:29] overkill.
[1:11:30] We have waited
[1:11:36] three years
[1:11:37] to hear David Hoshaw
[1:11:38] on the stand
[1:11:39] to see all the proof.
[1:11:42] A lot of emotion.
[1:11:45] You,
[1:11:46] you want that justice.
[1:11:48] The death penalty
[1:11:48] is on the table
[1:11:50] and facing all of that,
[1:11:53] Hoshaw surprises them all.
[1:11:56] David Hoshaw pleaded guilty
[1:11:57] to capital murder
[1:11:58] and first degree murder.
[1:11:59] He was originally scheduled
[1:12:01] for a jury trial next week.
[1:12:03] A guilty plea.
[1:12:05] No trial.
[1:12:05] And suddenly,
[1:12:06] it's over.
[1:12:08] Detective Rick Malbon
[1:12:09] is excited.
[1:12:10] He finally got his guy.
[1:12:11] He pled guilty.
[1:12:12] He's getting ready
[1:12:13] to call Amanda
[1:12:14] and deliver
[1:12:15] what he thinks
[1:12:16] is great news.
[1:12:17] But he was not
[1:12:18] expecting this reaction.
[1:12:20] I was shocked.
[1:12:22] I couldn't even handle it.
[1:12:25] I said things to Rick
[1:12:26] that maybe I shouldn't have said,
[1:12:28] but he deserved
[1:12:29] to go to trial.
[1:12:30] He deserved
[1:12:30] to have the whole laundry,
[1:12:32] all the truth out,
[1:12:34] to set her family free,
[1:12:37] to give her,
[1:12:38] that family,
[1:12:39] the truth about everything.
[1:12:42] Accepting a plea agreement
[1:12:43] for two life sentences,
[1:12:45] first degree murder,
[1:12:46] David had to stand before
[1:12:48] the Guayanas,
[1:12:49] the victim's loved ones,
[1:12:51] and he had to admit
[1:12:52] to killing Angel and Vonda.
[1:12:54] He made a very long,
[1:12:56] very bizarre statement.
[1:12:58] He then went on
[1:12:59] to lecture every participant
[1:13:02] in the court process.
[1:13:04] I want to say shame on you,
[1:13:06] Detective Malbon,
[1:13:07] for his actions.
[1:13:08] The Lord God Almighty
[1:13:09] does not like people
[1:13:11] to be full of pride
[1:13:12] of themselves.
[1:13:13] I pray that you lose
[1:13:14] that pride
[1:13:14] before it's too late.
[1:13:18] Every word that came out
[1:13:19] of David's mouth in court
[1:13:21] just made me angry.
[1:13:23] just to see him,
[1:13:25] to see words coming
[1:13:26] from his mouth.
[1:13:28] Today, for the sake
[1:13:29] of my family,
[1:13:30] I'm pleading guilty
[1:13:31] to this horrific crime.
[1:13:33] I'm putting their needs
[1:13:34] and their desires
[1:13:35] ahead of my own.
[1:13:37] He said he pleaded guilty
[1:13:38] for his family.
[1:13:41] Uh, no.
[1:13:42] Well, do you think
[1:13:43] that was for you
[1:13:43] and your children?
[1:13:44] I think he lied.
[1:13:46] He didn't take this deal
[1:13:47] for his family
[1:13:47] because he knew
[1:13:48] I wanted him
[1:13:50] to go to trial.
[1:13:51] He murdered him.
[1:13:51] He doesn't do it
[1:13:52] to live.
[1:13:53] I'm sorry.
[1:13:56] It might be harsh,
[1:13:57] but it's the truth.
[1:14:00] Two life sentences,
[1:14:01] I think it's what he got.
[1:14:03] He is ineligible
[1:14:04] for parole.
[1:14:06] He's gonna rock
[1:14:08] their jail.
[1:14:10] Would you forgive somebody
[1:14:11] that killed your mom
[1:14:12] and sister?
[1:14:13] I won't.
[1:14:16] The family's most
[1:14:17] basic question
[1:14:18] is never answered
[1:14:19] in court,
[1:14:20] and that is,
[1:14:20] why did he do it?
[1:14:22] So, this is really
[1:14:23] the first time
[1:14:24] you're talking
[1:14:24] about Vonda
[1:14:25] and Angelique.
[1:14:26] Well, I don't know
[1:14:28] what I'm talking about.
[1:14:29] And he does talk
[1:14:30] about it
[1:14:31] in a prison interview.
[1:14:32] After all these years,
[1:14:38] I still think about her.
[1:14:40] I have a tattoo
[1:14:43] of two butterflies.
[1:14:44] It's just a reminder.
[1:14:47] It's always there.
[1:14:49] It's something
[1:14:51] I can see every day
[1:14:53] and know that she's there,
[1:14:57] even if she's not.
[1:15:00] Remember,
[1:15:00] to avoid the death penalty,
[1:15:02] David Hoshaw
[1:15:02] had to admit
[1:15:03] that he killed
[1:15:04] Vonda and Angel,
[1:15:05] but he didn't have
[1:15:06] to say why,
[1:15:07] and he hasn't
[1:15:07] until now.
[1:15:10] David Hoshaw
[1:15:11] agreed to interview
[1:15:12] with me over the phone
[1:15:13] since he is in
[1:15:14] a high-security
[1:15:15] prison facility.
[1:15:16] David tells me
[1:15:18] that night
[1:15:18] he went
[1:15:19] to Angel's house
[1:15:20] to simply
[1:15:21] break up with her
[1:15:22] at one in the morning.
[1:15:25] How were you thinking
[1:15:26] the night
[1:15:27] would have played out?
[1:15:39] David claims
[1:15:40] that when he told Angel
[1:15:41] it was over,
[1:15:42] there were tears
[1:15:43] and raised voices.
[1:15:45] You have
[1:16:04] one minute
[1:16:05] remaining.
[1:16:07] And his second victim,
[1:16:08] he says
[1:16:09] Vonda tried to stop him.
[1:16:11] I thought,
[1:16:25] wow,
[1:16:26] you know,
[1:16:27] I always got so lucky.
[1:16:28] He made himself
[1:16:30] out to be
[1:16:31] a guy
[1:16:31] that was
[1:16:32] a terrific man.
[1:16:33] He was a
[1:16:34] boy scout engineer.
[1:16:36] I mean,
[1:16:36] he takes care
[1:16:37] of his sons.
[1:16:38] I mean,
[1:16:38] he's there for them
[1:16:39] when they need it.
[1:16:40] In a way,
[1:16:42] David Hoshaw
[1:16:42] left two kinds
[1:16:43] of victims,
[1:16:44] the ones he killed
[1:16:45] and the ones
[1:16:46] he left behind.
[1:16:48] There are a lot
[1:16:49] of times
[1:16:50] when I think,
[1:16:52] it should have been me.
[1:16:54] It should have been me
[1:16:55] and it wasn't.
[1:16:58] Why?
[1:16:59] That monster.
[1:17:00] I was married
[1:17:02] to that monster.
[1:17:04] The ripple effect
[1:17:05] of grief
[1:17:06] that families experience
[1:17:08] and loved ones experience
[1:17:09] in cases like this,
[1:17:11] it goes through generations.
[1:17:12] He lied
[1:17:13] and he,
[1:17:14] you know,
[1:17:14] about him being
[1:17:15] in a relationship
[1:17:16] with Angelique.
[1:17:17] So he like
[1:17:18] got me
[1:17:19] into the circle
[1:17:19] and then he got
[1:17:21] rid of her,
[1:17:23] murdered her
[1:17:23] because
[1:17:24] basically of me.
[1:17:26] I'm feeling
[1:17:27] horrible
[1:17:27] for them.
[1:17:29] I hate,
[1:17:29] you know,
[1:17:30] I'm not hating him.
[1:17:33] It's like a lot of hate.
[1:17:35] So what do you do with it?
[1:17:37] The coroner noted
[1:17:40] something in their report.
[1:17:42] The only thing
[1:17:42] Angel Guyana
[1:17:43] was wearing
[1:17:44] when she died
[1:17:44] was a medallion.
[1:17:48] I have dreamed
[1:17:48] of a knight
[1:17:49] in shining armor.
[1:17:51] Don't laugh,
[1:17:52] but I've kept
[1:17:53] a medallion
[1:17:53] of gold and silver
[1:17:54] of a knight
[1:17:55] upon a steed
[1:17:56] for the day
[1:17:56] I meet him.
[1:17:59] I had an old mentor
[1:18:01] who told me,
[1:18:02] you can always see
[1:18:03] the soul
[1:18:04] of your victim
[1:18:04] reflected in the eyes
[1:18:06] of those who love them.
[1:18:08] And on the fourth
[1:18:09] of July,
[1:18:10] it's kind of hard
[1:18:12] day to remember,
[1:18:13] you know,
[1:18:14] because that's the weekend
[1:18:16] this all happened.
[1:18:17] Her brother remembers
[1:18:18] a moment
[1:18:19] long after the murders
[1:18:20] when he went
[1:18:21] by the house.
[1:18:23] This kid was laughing,
[1:18:24] but I saw my sister,
[1:18:26] my mom and my sister
[1:18:27] standing there
[1:18:27] looking at me.
[1:18:29] And they were there
[1:18:30] and they were smiling
[1:18:31] and I looked back
[1:18:33] and they were gone.
[1:18:34] But I know,
[1:18:35] I saw them.
[1:18:36] I'll remember that.
[1:18:38] I think I am at peace.
[1:18:40] I know I am at peace.
[1:18:41] It's taken me years
[1:18:43] to get to this place.
[1:18:45] I just think
[1:18:47] of them very fondly.
[1:18:48] My mom's incredible
[1:18:49] sense of humor
[1:18:50] and Angel,
[1:18:54] just gosh.
[1:18:57] Angelique was a gift
[1:18:59] to our family.
[1:19:02] What are you left with
[1:19:03] when someone dies?
[1:19:06] Photographs,
[1:19:06] memories,
[1:19:08] before the Guyanas,
[1:19:09] Angel's poems.
[1:19:13] The night with its endless
[1:19:14] realm of possibilities.
[1:19:16] What could last forever?
[1:19:18] Stars,
[1:19:20] scattered diamonds
[1:19:20] of the night.
[1:19:21] The stars watch
[1:19:23] and somewhat guide
[1:19:24] choices and outcomes.
[1:19:27] But in the end,
[1:19:29] the stars watch us.
[1:19:33] That's my girl.
[1:19:35] That's my girl.
