Cold Hearted (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Blinding Fantasy - full transcript

Narrator: WHEN NAY SEAMAN
CORY VOSS MEETS PARTY GIRL

CATHERINA ROSE,
A FIERY ROMANCE SETS SAIL.

THEY SAY OPPOSITES ATTRACT.

I THINK THAT'S WHY
THEY GOT TOGETHER.

Dustin: I WAS SURPRISED.

I FELT MY BROTHER
COULD'VE DONE BETTER.

Narrator: STILL, NO ONE PREDICTS
THE ROUGH SEAS AHEAD.

IT DEFINITELY WASN'T
A HAPPY HOMECOMING.

THERE ARE SECRETS THERE
THAT I DIDN'T EXPECT.

I ACTUALLY BROKE THE WINDOW OUT,
CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW.

Narrator: THIS IS A RELATIONSHIP
WHERE ONLY ONE WILL MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.



I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANY IDEA
OF HOW MANY TWISTS AND TURNS

THAT THE CASE WOULD
ULTIMATELY TAKE.

IT JUST SENT A CHILL
DOWN MY SPINE.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: NOT FAR FROM
THE NORFOLK NAVAL BASE,

NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA IS
STEEPED WITH MILITARY TRADITION.

IT'S ALSO HOME
TO MANY YOUNG SAILORS

LIKE 20-YEAR-OLD
CORY ALLEN VOSS.

FIFTY.
FIFTY-ONE.

Dustin: IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR
THE NAVY,

CORY WOULD'VE SPENT SOME TIME
IN JAIL AND PROBABLY

WOULD'VE ENDED UP BECOMING MUCH
MORE OF A DELINQUENT AFTERWARDS.

HIS LIFE DID CHANGE.

Narrator: A MISCHIEVOUS KID,
CORY GREW UP IN RURAL ILLINOIS,



WHERE HE FELL IN
WITH A ROUGH CROWD.

HE WAS KIND OF IMPULSIVE,
A LITTLE BIT OF A BRAT,

TROUBLE-MAKER,

BUT SMARTER THAN HE SEEMED,
AND HAD A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR.

Dujardin: HE DROPPED OUT OF
HIGH SCHOOL AND GOT A G. E. D.

AND THEN AFTER HE DID THAT,
I GUESS HE WENT FROM JOB TO JOB.

HE WAS SPINNING HIS WHEELS,

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
HE WANTED TO DO.

HIS MOTHER ACTUALLY
SUGGESTED THE NAVY.

SHE SAID HE TOOK TO IT
LIKE A DUCK TO WATER

AND JUST DID REALLY WELL.

Rilee: CORY SEEMED
TO CHANGE HIS LIFE.

HE WAS VERY WELL LIKED AND DID
VERY WELL IN HIS CAREER

IN THE MILITARY.

HE GOT THE DISCIPLINE
THAT I HOPED HE WOULD.

HE HAD A LOT MORE SENSE
OF RESPONSIBILITY

AND SELF-ASSUREDNESS
AFTER HE HAD GONE THROUGH

THAT WHOLE PROCESS.

Narrator: STILL,
IN THE FALL OF 1997,

20-YEAR-OLD CORY
HAS SOME WILD OATS LEFT TO SOW.

Dustin: I KNEW HE HAD HAD SOME GIRLS
HERE AND THERE IN VARIOUS PORTS.

I THINK I MIGHT
GO OVER THERE.

Girl: YEAH!

I DON'T THINK HE WAS
SETTING DOWN WITH ANYBODY,

AND NOBODY REALLY
EXPECTED HIM TO.

HE HAD THAT SORT OF
BACHELOR VIBE TO HIM.

Narrator: THAT IS,
UNTIL ONE GIRL CAPTURES CORY'S ATTENTION,

23-YEAR-OLD CATHERINA ROSE.

CATHERINA.
THEY CALL ME CAT FOR SHORT.

SHE HAD THAT SPARK OF JUST
FUN AND LIGHTHEARTEDNESS,

AND I GRAVITATED TOWARDS
HER BECAUSE OF THAT.

AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DID.

IT'S VERY STRONG.

SHE WAS DEFINITELY
A PARTY TYPE OF GIRL.

HE WAS MORE RESERVED, QUIET.

THEY SAY OPPOSITES ATTRACT.

I THINK THAT'S WHY
THEY GOT TOGETHER.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: ALMOST IMMEDIATELY,
THE PAIR APPEARED TO FALL FOR EACH OTHER.

Doyle: I FELT LIKE THEY HAD
A GOOD RELATIONSHIP.

SHE CARED A LOT ABOUT
CORY, AND I SAW THAT.

I FELT THAT THEY WERE IN LOVE.

Narrator:
A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER,

CORY CALLS HIS FAMILY
BACK IN ILLINOIS

WITH SOME SHOCKING NEWS:

CAT IS PREGNANT, AND HE'S
ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM.

I WAS SURPRISED
AND A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND,

I WAS PLEASED THAT HE WAS
DOING THE RESPONSIBLE THING.

CHECK OUT THE SHIPS.
THEY'RE MASSIVE.

WE ALL HAD A CHANCE
TO VISIT WITH THEM.

THAT WAS THE FIRST CHANCE
THAT ANY OF US HAD REALLY

HAD TO MEET HER.

SHE WASN'T A CALM PERSON.

SHE DIDN'T SEEM MUCH
LIKE A SHRINKING VIOLET,

BUT SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE

THE SELF-ASSUREDNESS

THAT EVEN MY BROTHER DID.

AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM,
CATHERINA?

Narrator: THERE SEEMS TO BE
A REASON FOR THAT.

CAT TELLS CORY'S FAMILY
A HEARTBREAKING TALE

ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD
IN THE SOVIET UNION.

HER AMERICAN-BORN
MOTHER ABANDONED THE FAMILY,

LEAVING HER TO BE RAISED
BY A STRICT UKRAINIAN FATHER.

ACCORDING TO CAT,
SHE WAS ALL ALONE IN VIRGINIA

WHEN SHE MET CORY.

I FEEL LIKE HER LIFE WITH CORY
WAS HER STARTING OVER,

AND WHATEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE THEN,

SHE ALMOST WANTED TO BLOCK OUT.

Dustin: I DIDN'T TRUST HER.

I THINK I WAS
THE LUCKY ONE.

I DIDN'T THINK
SHE WAS DANGEROUS.

WHAT I DID THINK WAS THAT
HE NEEDED TO BE ON HIS GUARD.

Mother: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE
MAKING ME A GRANDMOTHER.

I FELT MY BROTHER
COULD'VE DONE BETTER,

BUT WE DO HAVE TO
GET ALONG WITH HER,

SO WE MADE AN EFFORT
TO GET ALONG WITH HER.

Narrator: IN OCTOBER OF 1998,

CAT GIVES BIRTH
TO A LITTLE GIRL.

SIX MONTHS LATER,
THE HAPPY PARENTS TIE THE KNOT.

Doyle: THEY GOT MARRIED AT
THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE,

SO THEY NEVER HAD
A HONEYMOON OR A WEDDING.

SHE AND HIM KIND OF HAD TO JUMP
RIGHT INTO BEING A FAMILY

VERSUS HAVING THEIR TIME
AS JUST A COUPLE.

Narrator: THE FOLLOWING YEAR,
THE VOSS FAMILY BECOMES

EVEN BIGGER WITH THE BIRTH
OF THEIR SECOND CHILD.

Doyle: WHEN HE WAS THERE
AT THE HOUSE,

CORY WAS THE ONE TENDING TO THE
KIDS, DOING THINGS WITH THEM.

HE WAS A GOOD DAD.

Dustin: HE HAD A SOLID HOME GOING
ON, JUST, YOU KNOW, DOMESTIC LIFE.

HE WAS MANAGING IT.
HE WAS DOING IT.

Narrator:
BUT ONGOING FINANCIAL TROUBLES

ARE CAUSING THE COUPLE'S
RELATIONSHIP TO FRACTURE.

IT SEEMS CAT IS SPENDING MONEY
QUICKER THAN CORY CAN EARN IT.

SHE DID HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH SPENDING.

SHE WAS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE
WITH MONEY.

SHE SEEMED TO BUY A LOT
THAT SHE COULDN'T AFFORD

BECAUSE SHE WANTED
TO HAVE WHAT OTHERS HAD

AND KIND OF MAKING
PEOPLE WANT HER LIFE.

SHE ALWAYS MADE YOU FEEL
LIKE MONEY WASN'T AN ISSUE.

I THINK IT WAS HER TRYING
TO FILL A VOID, YOU KNOW,

WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.

HE WASN'T GREAT WITH MONEY
HIMSELF, SO THAT DIDN'T HELP.

Narrator:
TO COVER THEIR GROWING DEBT,

CORY BORROWS MONEY
FROM HIS FAMILY.

HE ALSO TAKES
THE AMBITIOUS STEP OF

APPLYING TO OFFICER
CANDIDATE SCHOOL.

MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE ENLISTEES
DON'T BECOME OFFICERS.

THAT'S JUST VERY RARE
TO HAVE SOMEONE GO

FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.

HOW'S IT GOING?

CORY WANTED TO MAKE
CATHERINA PROUD.

YOU KNOW, HE WANTED TO
SUCCEED AND BE AN OFFICER,

AND I THINK SHE
PUSHED HIM TO BE BETTER.

Rilee: CORY WAS ALWAYS TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY.

THAT CERTAINLY CAME
FIRST TO HIM.

HIS KIDS AND WITH CAT
THAT HE WANTED THINGS TO WORK,

AND HE WAS TRYING
HIS BEST TO PROVIDE

EVERYTHING THAT HE COULD
FOR HIS FAMILY.

Narrator: IN 2006, CORY
GRADUATES FROM THE PROGRAM

AND IS COMMISSIONED
AS A NAVAL ENSIGN.

WITH IT COMES NEW
RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR BOTH HIM AND CAT.

SHE WAS PRETTY PROUD
OF THE RANK HE HAD GOTTEN.

SHE WAS PLEASED THAT HE WAS
MOVING UP IN THE RANKS.

IF YOU ARE AN OFFICER'S WIFE,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKED AT

AS BEING THE ELITE
OF THE MILITARY COMMUNITY,

AND THE MONEY IS OBVIOUSLY
A BIG FACTOR IN IT.

CAT WANTED A HOUSE.

THEY BOUGHT A HOUSE
THAT HAD A POOL.

SHE DROVE A BMW, WHICH THEY
OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T AFFORD,

SO SHE LIVED WELL
BEYOND HER MEANS.

FROM WHAT MY BROTHER TOLD ME,
SHE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON,

LIKE, JEWELRY, COSMETICS,

THAT KIND OF THING.

BOUGHT A BIG, HUGE-SCREEN TV,
ALL-NEW FURNITURE.

SHE DECKED OUT THE HOUSE
WITH ALL-NEW DECORATIONS.

Narrator: BUT CORY'S PROMOTION
ISN'T ALL GOOD NEWS.

INSTEAD OF WORKING ON BASE,
HE'S REGULARLY SENT OFF

ON 6-MONTH DEPLOYMENTS.

Dujardin: NOW, WHEN SAILORS
ARE ON DEPLOYMENT,

IT'S A STRESSFUL
TIME FOR THE WIFE.

SHE DIDN'T HAVE THAT
EXTRA SUPPORT WITH THE KIDS.

SHE HAD TO BE RELIED
ON 100 PERCENT BY THEM,

AND THAT WAS HARD FOR HER.

Narrator:
AND AS CORY'S TIME AWAY ADDS UP,

THEIR RELATIONSHIP
STRAINS EVEN MORE.

I DIDN'T THINK THAT
HE COULD DEPEND ON HER,

AND HE DIDN'T THINK
HE COULD DEPEND ON HER.

Narrator: BUT CORY ISN'T
THE ONLY ONE GETTING ANGRY.

CATHERINA IS STRUGGLING WITH
THE FEAR NO WOMAN WANTS TO FACE.

SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT
HE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR

WITH A WOMAN ON THE SHIP.

AND SHE SAID, "I THINK I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE HIM."

All: CHEERS!

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: NINE YEARS AFTER THEY
FIRST MET,

CORY AND CATHERINA VOSS'S
MARRIAGE IS FALLING APART,

AND THEIR PERSONAL ISSUES
ARE THE WORST-KEPT SECRET.

I KNEW THAT CORY WASN'T
HAPPY WITH THE MARRIAGE.

I FIGURED THAT WAS MOSTLY
DUE TO FINANCIAL ISSUES.

CATHERINA WAS THE TYPE
OF PERSON

THAT NEEDED SOMEONE THERE
ALL THE TIME.

SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED
THAT HE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR

WITH A WOMAN ON THE SHIP.

I REMEMBER HER SHOWING ME
PICTURES OF THIS WOMAN,

AND SHE WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT IT.

Narrator: INSTEAD OF STAYING
HOME, CAT FEELS HER BEST REVENGE

IS TO PARTY WITH HER FRIENDS.

All: CHEERS!

Rilee: CAT LIKED TO GO OUT,
DRINK, AND PARTY.

AND SHE OFTENTIMES OR
ROUTINELY PICKED UP THE TABS

AND TIPPED PRETTY LARGELY
FOR HER AND HER FRIENDS.

LADIES, THIS ONE IS ON ME.

I WAS SURPRISED WHEN CATHERINA
WOULD INITIALLY BUST OUT

A $100 BILL
AND GIVE IT TO THE BARTENDER,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
I DIDN'T WANT TO QUESTION IT

BECAUSE I DIDN'T
WANT TO UPSET HER.

THAT WAS GOOD,
MUCH BETTER.

Rilee: CORY FELT AS IF HE WERE
GOING TO HAVE TO TRY

AND FIX IT
WHEN HE GOT HOME.

WHERE ARE
GETTING $100 BILLS?

THE INABILITY TO DO THAT
WHEN YOU'RE OUT TO SEA

I THINK FRUSTRATED HIM
AND CREATED MORE TENSION

AND PROBLEMS WITH THE MARRIAGE.

Narrator: AND SOON CAT'S
ATTENTION TURNS TO SOMEONE ELSE:

27-YEAR-OLD MICHAEL DRAVEN.

Doyle: CATHERINA CALLED ME,

AND SHE SAID SHE'D MET
THIS GUY ON MYSPACE.

HIS NAME WAS MICHAEL,
AND SHE LIKED HIM.

HE WAS INTO PHOTOGRAPHY.

SHE GAVE ME THE INFO
SO I COULD LOOK HIM UP,

AND HE HAD A LOT OF,
LIKE, DARK

KIND OF GOTHIC PICTURES

ON HIS SITE.

HIS APPEARANCE WAS MENACING,
DEVILISH,

NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON
YOU'D WANT TO RUN ACROSS ON,

LIKE, A DARK ALLEY.

MICHAEL DRAVEN PORTRAYED HIMSELF
AS A FILM PRODUCER

AND A PHOTOGRAPHER - -
BIZARRE INDIVIDUAL.

I JUST WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED

THAT SHE WOULD ENTERTAIN
HANGING OUT WITH THIS GUY,

BUT SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
REALLY JUST DREW HER IN.

I WAS REALLY NAIVE
IN THE BEGINNING.

IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER I REALIZED
THAT THEY WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

SHE HAD A SENSE THAT SHE
WAS THIS QUEEN-TYPE FIGURE

AND THAT SHE DESERVED
THIS GREAT LIFESTYLE.

THIS GUY MICHAEL
WAS DOTING ON HER.

AND SHE TOLD ME THAT
HE'D HAD A LOT OF MONEY.

HE LIVED IN A REALLY
FANCY NEIGHBORHOOD,

AND THE FIRST TIME
THEY HUNG OUT,

HE POINTED OUT A HOUSE,
A BIG HOUSE,

AND TOLD HER HE LIVED THERE.

LET ME SEE
THE OTHER WAY.

Narrator: EVERYTHING MICHAEL
TELLS HER IS A LIE.

HE DOESN'T PRODUCE MOVIES.
HE'S NOT WEALTHY.

HE DELIVERS NEWSPAPERS
AND GETS PAID

TO BE A MEDICAL TEST SUBJECT.

Doyle: SHE SAID HE DOESN'T REALLY
LIVE IN A BIG FANCY NEIGHBORHOOD.

HE ACTUALLY LIVES
IN A TRAILER WITH HIS MOM.

AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

I SAID, "REALLY?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

Narrator: DESPITE THE LIES,
CAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND.

SHE'S TOO CAUGHT UP IN
THE EXCITEMENT OF THE AFFAIR.

MICHAEL DRAVEN
WAS KIND OF A LOSER,

AND THEN HE MEETS THIS WOMAN

WHO'S WITH THIS HUSBAND
WHO'S GOT A NICE HOUSE.

THEY HAVE TWO GREAT KIDS.

THEY HAVE A SWIMMING POOL
IN THEIR BACKYARD.

HE WANTS THAT LIFE.

Doyle: I SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP TALKING

TO HIM, ARE YOU?
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS A LIAR."

SHE WAS LIKE, "WELL, YOU KNOW, I
THINK HE WAS JUST EMBARRASSED."

YOU KNOW, SHE MADE
AN EXCUSE FOR HIM,

AND IT JUST WENT FROM THERE.

Narrator: AFTER 6 MONTHS AWAY,
THE USS ELROD AND CORY VOSS

RETURN TO PORT.

Dustin: HE WAS DEFINITELY
EXCITED ABOUT BEING DEPLOYED.

IT WAS A GOOD SHIP.
HE WAS PRETTY PROUD OF THAT.

HE WAS HAPPY ABOUT THE CRUISE
WHEN HE GOT BACK.

Narrator: MOST OF ALL, CORY IS HAPPY
TO BE BACK HOME WITH HIS FAMILY.

CAT TOLD A FEW FRIENDS SHE WAS
GOING TO ASK FOR A DIVORCE,

BUT SEEING CORY SEEMS
TO CHANGE HER HEART.

NICE TO SEE YOU.
NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.

I REALLY MISSED YOU.
I MISSED YOU, TOO.

HE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO GET
ALONG WITH HER AND,

YOU KNOW, BE
A GOOD HUSBAND AND FATHER.

HE WAS GREAT WITH HIS KIDS.

THEY LOVED HIM.
HE LOVED THEM.

Dujardin: HE WOULD SPEND A LOT
OF TIME WITH THEM, PLAY SPORTS

WITH THEM OUTSIDE,

PLAY FOOTBALL,
PLAY CATCH WITH THEM,

JUST PLAY OUT IN THE YARD
WITH THEM ALL THE TIME.

Doyle: CATHERINA CALLED ME UP,
AND SHE SAID, "YEAH, YOU KNOW,

CORY AND I THINK WE'RE GOING
TO TRY AND WORK THINGS OUT."

IT WAS A TOTAL 180
FROM WHAT SHE HAD TOLD ME.

AND I SAID,
"WELL, GOOD, YOU KNOW?

I'M GLAD. I WANT YOU
TO STAY TOGETHER."

Narrator: THAT SPRING,
THE VOSS MARRIAGE SEEMS TO BE ON THE MEND.

AND ON A WARM APRIL NIGHT,

THE COUPLE PUT THEIR KIDS TO BED

BEFORE SITTING DOWN
TO A ROMANTIC DINNER.

OH, SHOOT!
WHAT IS IT?

WOULD YOU BE ABLE
TO GO TO THE ATM

AND GET THE
KIDS' LUNCH MONEY?

Rilee: CAT ASKED HIM
TO RETRIEVE $60,

AND SHE PROVIDED HIM AN ATM CARD
TO RETRIEVE THAT MONEY.

Dujardin: HE WAS KIND OF BEING
THE DUTIFUL HUSBAND

TO GO TO THE ATM FOR HER.

BE CAREFUL.

Narrator: THE BANK IS LESS
THAN 3 MILES AWAY.

CAT CALLED HIM AND TALKED
WITH HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE ATM

AND ACTUALLY TALKED
WITH HIM BY TELEPHONE

WHILE HE WAS AT THE ATM.

JUST BE CAREFUL, OKAY?

I LOVE YOU.

Narrator: TWO HOURS LATER, CORY
MYSTERIOUSLY HASN'T RETURNED.

CAT CALLS HIM REPEATEDLY
WITH NO RESPONSE.

SHE CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO REPORT HIM MISSING,

AND THEN SHE CALLED
A COUPLE LOCAL HOSPITALS

AND SOME OTHER PLACES TO SEE
IF HE HAD SHOWN UP THERE.

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: AT 6 A.M.
THE FOLLOWING MORNING,

CAT FRANTICALLY CALLS
THE POLICE AGAIN.

Rilee: OFFICER WAS DISPATCHED
TO CAT'S HOUSE

AND PROVIDED INFORMATION
FROM THE SOURCE,

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAT,
AS TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES

WHICH LED HER
TO MAKE THAT COMPLAINT.

HE HASN'T CALLED ME BACK.

I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS
FROM MY SISTER

AND MY MOTHER CALLING ME UP
AND LETTING ME KNOW

THAT THE POLICE
WERE LOOKING FOR HIM

AND FINDING OUT
MORE INFORMATION.

WE WORRIED ABOUT HIM, LIKE,
BEING, LIKE, WAYLAID OR ROBBED

OR WHATEVER.
NOBODY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

IT WAS JUST THE GENERAL
SORT OF WORRY THAT YOU HAVE

WHEN SOMEBODY
YOU KNOW IS MISSING,

AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHY.

Narrator: LATER THAT MORNING,
A 911 CALL COMES IN

FROM A NEARBY OFFICE COMPLEX.

SOMEBODY ACTUALLY
WAS HEADING TO WORK

AND FOUND THIS MAN

SLUMPED OVER INSIDE
OF A PICKUP TRUCK.

Rilee: AN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S
EITHER PASSED OUT OR ASLEEP

OR WHAT HAVE YOU IN
THE PARKING LOT ADJACENT

TO THE CREDIT UNION.

Narrator: THE TRUCK BELONGS
TO CORY VOSS.

SIR, ARE YOU OKAY?

CORY WAS SEATED STILL IN
THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF HIS TRUCK

SORT OF SLUMPED
OVER TO ONE SIDE...

THIS IS SERGEANT WILLIAMS.

...WITH OBVIOUS GUNSHOT
WOUNDS TO HIS CHEST.

I FOUND THE MISSING VEHICLE.
I NEED BACKUP.

IT DID APPEAR THAT MAYBE CORY
WAS TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE

BUT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T
SUCCESSFUL IN DOING THAT.

Narrator: 30-YEAR-OLD CORY VOSS
IS PRONOUNCED DEAD.

TO ALL ON THE SCENE, IT LOOKS
LIKE A ROBBERY GONE WRONG.

Dustin: IT WAS IN
A SKETCHY PART OF TOWN.

A RANDOM ROBBERY
DIDN'T SEEM UNLIKELY.

Narrator: BUT THERE'S MORE TO
THIS PICTURE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

THE WEIRD THING WAS,
HE WASN'T ACTUALLY ROBBED.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: IN APRIL 2007,
A LATE-NIGHT ATM RUN COSTS

NAVY ENSIGN AND FATHER OF TWO
CORY VOSS HIS LIFE.

THIS IS OFFICER WILLIAMS.

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS
HOW HORRIFIC THIS WAS

THAT SOMEONE WAS OUT JUST
GETTING HIS MONEY AT AN ATM

AND WAS KILLED.

Rilee: ANYTHING INVOLVING MONEY,

YOU WOULD INITIALLY THINK
THAT IT'S A ROBBERY,

BUT THERE WERE SOME THINGS
THAT STOOD OUT,

SUCH AS THE NUMBER
OF GUNSHOT WOUNDS.

TYPICALLY, IN AN ARMED ROBBERY

WHERE THERE'S A CONFRONTATION
BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE,

THE GOAL OF THE PERP
IS TO TAKE THE MONEY

AND LEAVE AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE.

AND IF THERE'S A SHOT
OR TWO SHOTS FIRED,

THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT YOU
WOULD SEE IN A ROBBERY.

Narrator: CORY'S BEEN SHOT
FIVE TIMES AT CLOSE RANGE.

Dujardin: ONE WAS TO HIS CHEST,

ONE WAS TO HIS ABDOMEN,
AND ONE WAS TO HIS ARM.

Rilee: I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE
EXCEPTIONAL SITUATIONS,

BUT TYPICALLY YOU WOULDN'T
SEE THAT MANY SHOTS

TAKING PLACE IN A ROBBERY.

Narrator: POLICE ALSO FIND IT STRANGE
THAT THE KILLER MADE CORY DRIVE

TO ANOTHER LOCATION
BEFORE SHOOTING HIM.

WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE
THE MONEY AND RUN?

MY SERGEANT AND I RESPONDED
TO THE HOUSE TO SPEAK WITH CAT.

AS A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE,
THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST

UNCOMFORTABLE THING

THAT WE HAVE TO DO,

BUT IT IS SOMETHING
THAT HAS TO BE DONE,

AND THERE IS NO
EASY WAY TO DO IT.

AND HE ANSWERED THE PHONE.

BUT WE GET THROUGH IT
AND DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

Narrator: WHEN THEY ARRIVE,
THEY BREAK THE HORRIBLE NEWS

TO A SEEMINGLY
DEVASTATED CATHERINA.

Rilee: SHE BECAME HYSTERICAL
TO THE POINT

THAT I OFFERED TO CALL
AN AMBULANCE FOR HER

TO CARRY HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

SHE DENIED THAT REQUEST,
BUT SHE WAS VERY, VERY UPSET,

FALLING ON THE FLOOR,
SCREAMING AND CRYING.

Narrator: WHEN CAT RECOVERS,
POLICE QUESTION HER ABOUT

THE MISSING PERSONS REPORT

AND THE PREVIOUS NIGHT'S EVENTS.

SHE PROVIDED US DETAILS AS TO
WHEN HE LEFT THE HOUSE,

WHY HE LEFT THE HOUSE,
WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO.

SHE PROVIDED US INFORMATION

RELATING TO THOSE PHONE CALLS
THAT SHE HAD MADE.

DID YOU GET
TO THE ATM YET?

THE FACT THAT CAT HAD CALLED AND
TALKED WITH HIM SEVERAL TIMES,

AS SHE SAID, TO THE ATM,

WHILE HE WAS AT THE ATM
AND WARNED HIM TO BE CAREFUL,

IT JUST SEEMED LIKE
TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

THE ATM WAS LOCATED LESS THAN
3 MILES FROM THEIR HOME,

SO IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME,

YOU TYPICALLY
WOULDN'T BE CONCERNED

THAT YOUR LOVED ONE

WOULD NOT MAKE IT
TO THAT ATM AND BACK HOME.

Narrator: THAT AFTERNOON, THE LOCAL
NEWS SPREADS WORD OF CORY'S MURDER

ACROSS NEWPORT NEWS
AND THE NORFOLK NAVAL COMMUNITY.

THE INITIAL RESPONSE WAS SHOCK
THAT SOMEBODY WAS KILLED

AND ALSO JUST WHO HE WAS,
A RESPECTED NAVAL OFFICER,

SO IT WAS JUST SHOCK,

THAT "WHO DID THIS?
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?"

I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS, AND I
SAW CORY'S TRUCK ON THE SCREEN,

AND I WAS LIKE,
"WAIT A MINUTE."

AND THEN I STARTED LISTENING,
AND THEY HAD SAID

THAT THEY HAD FOUND
A BODY IN THE TRUCK,

AND I JUST...
MY HEART SANK WHEN I SAW IT.

Dustin: MY SISTER CALLED ME UP,
AND SHE WAS HESITANT ABOUT

BRINGING IT UP, YOU KNOW, LIKE,

"WELL, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO TELL YOU THIS."

LONG PAUSE.

"THEY FOUND CORY.
HE'S DEAD. HE WAS SHOT.

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW
MUCH MORE ABOUT IT YET."

I WAS VERY SAD, OBVIOUSLY,
HAD MYSELF A GOOD CRY.

Narrator: AMONG THE FIRST
THINGS INVESTIGATORS DO

IS CHECK THE BANK'S
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.

Doyle: THE VIDEO AT THE CREDIT
UNION THAT WAS TAKEN AT THE ATM,

AND YOU COULD SEE CORY TRYING
TO GET MONEY OUT OF THE ATM.

Rilee: IT WAS NOT A REAL
CLEAR PHOTOGRAPH,

BUT WE COULD SEE
THAT SOMEONE MASKED

HAD ENTERED THE PASSENGER
SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE.

Dujardin: JUST OPENED THE DOOR
TO THE PICKUP TRUCK AND CAME IN.

SO HE APPARENTLY MADE CORY
DRIVE A LITTLE BIT AWAY,

AND THEN HE SHOT HIM.

NO, PLEASE.
LOOK, I HAVE A FAMILY.

I HAVE TWO KIDS.
DON'T...

AND THEN NOT EVEN
A QUARTER MILE AWAY

WAS WHERE THE PICKUP
TRUCK WAS FOUND.

Narrator: UNFORTUNATELY,
THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGE

IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR AN I. D.

WELL, A PORTION OF
THE PERSON'S FACE

WAS BLOCKED BY THE MIRROR
OR A PORTION OF THE CAR,

AND IT WASN'T EVEN CLEAR ENOUGH

TO TELL EXACTLY
WHAT THE WEAPON WAS.

WE ACTUALLY TRIED TO HAVE
THE PHOTO ENHANCED,

BUT WE WEREN'T
SUCCESSFUL IN DOING THAT.

Narrator: ONE THING DETECTIVES
ARE STARTLED TO FIND OUT

IS THAT NO MONEY WAS
EVER DISPENSED FROM THE ATM.

WE ALL STARTED OUT ASSUMING
IT WAS A RANDOM ROBBERY.

THE ONLY WEIRD THING WAS,
HE WASN'T ACTUALLY ROBBED.

THAT WAS REALLY
THE PUZZLING THING ABOUT IT.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator:
IN THE WAKE OF CORY'S MURDER,

THERE'S A HUGE
OUTPOURING OF SYMPATHY

AND SUPPORT FOR HIS WIFE, CAT.

Dustin:
SHE WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT IT.

SHE WAS CRYING ENOUGH
IT GOT ME CRYING.

IT WAS VERY CONTAGIOUS,

CONTAGIOUS CRYING
GOING ON THERE.

SHE JUST CAME ACROSS AS THIS
REALLY DISTRAUGHT NAVY WIFE

WHO WAS JUST REALLY UPSET
THAT HER HUSBAND WAS KILLED.

Narrator: WITH NO CLEAR-CUT
MOTIVE AND LACKING A SUSPECT,

THE CRITICAL FIRST
24 HOURS GO BY.

FOR INVESTIGATORS
AND HIS FAMILY,

FEAR GROWS THAT CORY'S ATTACKER
WILL GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANYBODY ARRESTED,

SO, YOU KNOW,
THERE WAS A MYSTERY TO IT.

WAS THERE SOMEBODY ON THE LOOSE
WHO KILLED SOMEBODY AT AN ATM?

THEY DIDN'T KNOW.

Narrator: THEN A PHONE CALL
TO POLICE CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Rilee:
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS.

SHE BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.

Narrator: SOMEONE HAS A SECRET
THEY NEED TO REVEAL.

IT WAS, LIKE, INSTANTANEOUS.

I JUST KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.

I'M THE HUSBAND THAT SURVIVED.

♪♪♪♪

Cory: PLEASE, PLEASE,
I HAVE A FAMILY.

Narrator: FOR THE PAST 48 HOURS,
THE TRAGIC MURDER

OF NAVY ENSIGN CORY VOSS

HAS HAD POLICE ACROSS
NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA

SCRAMBLING FOR CLUES.

BUT NOW THEY HAVE
A PROMISING LEAD.

IT'S AN ANONYMOUS CALL
TO THEIR TIP LINE,

A WOMAN CLAIMING TO BE A FRIEND
WITH A SECRET TO TELL.

I JUST KNEW WHAT SHE HAD DONE.

AND THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT,

AND I CAME TO THE REALIZATION
THAT, YOU KNOW,

IT WASN'T FAIR TO CORY
NOT TO SAY SOMETHING.

Narrator: WHEN QUESTIONED,
ASHLEY DOYLE REVEALS HER IDENTITY

AND IS PERSUADED TO MEET
WITH INVESTIGATORS.

Doyle: THEY SHOWED ME
THE PICTURES FROM THE ATM,

AND THEY WERE INCREDIBLY EERIE.

YOU COULD SEE CORY TRYING
TO GET MONEY OUT OF THE ATM,

AND YOU COULD SEE THE GUNMAN,

AND I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT,
"OH, MY GOD.

IT'S MICHAEL.
MICHAEL KILLED CORY,"

AND IT JUST SENT
A CHILL DOWN MY SPINE.

SHE TOLD US THAT WE SHOULD LOOK
AT A GUY NAMED MICHAEL DRAVEN

BECAUSE HE MAY BE INVOLVED IN
THIS MURDER.

SHE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE US
VERY TIMELY INFORMATION

ON THE ONGOING RELATIONSHIP OF
CAT VOSS AND MICHAEL DRAVEN,

PURCHASES THAT WERE MADE,

PLACED THAT THEY WERE GOING
AND THINGS THAT THEY WERE DOING.

Narrator:
INVESTIGATORS THEN SEARCH CAT

AND MICHAEL'S
SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.

THEY'RE SHOCKED BY
WHAT THEY DISCOVER.

Dujardin:
MICHAEL POSTED A PICTURE

THAT HAD CATHERINA
AND CORY'S DAUGHTER.

AND MICHAEL DRAVEN
REFERRED TO THEM AS,

"THIS IS MY WIFE
AND MY DAUGHTER,"

WHICH WAS - -
I FOUND REALLY BIZARRE.

Rilee: WE CERTAINLY WERE
INTERESTED IN THAT RELATIONSHIP,

AND OUR SUSPICIONS
WERE OBVIOUSLY RAISED.

WHAT I HAVE
IS A TRANSMITTER.

Narrator: POLICE THEN ENLIST
ASHLEY FOR MORE HELP.

Doyle: THEY WANTED ME TO GO OUT
WITH CATHERINA,

TRY TO GET INFORMATION FROM HER,

MAYBE POSSIBLY A CONFESSION

OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION

THAT MIGHT HELP THEM.

CALL MRS. VOSS AND SET UP
A TIME TO MEET.

I CALL CATHERINA.

SHE SOUNDED VERY SAD
ON THE PHONE.

SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD NO IDEA

WHY SOMEBODY WOULD
DO THIS TO CORY.

SHE WANTED TO ARRANGE
THE FUNERAL AND EVERYTHING,

BUT SHE WAS JUST
VERY, VERY UPSET,

AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

HOW ABOUT
TOMORROW NIGHT?

AT THAT POINT, I ASKED IF SHE
WANTED ME TO COME OVER

AND TALK TO HER.

IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU.
HI, CAT.

THANKS FOR COMING.

I MISSED YOU.
TAKE A SEAT.

WE HAD A CAMERA THAT WAS
INSERTED INTO HER HANDBAG,

AND, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS ASKED
TO PLACE IT IN A PARTICULAR AREA

SO THAT SHE COULD TRY
AND DOCUMENT THE CONVERSATION.

Doyle: IT WAS
REALLY NERVE-WRACKING.

I WAS SCARED THE WHOLE TIME.

I THOUGHT FOR SURE SHE WAS
GOING TO SEE IT

OR KNOW THAT I HAD A WIRE.

Rilee: I THINK SHE FELT LIKE
SHE WAS BETRAYING HER FRIEND

IN THE EVENT IT TURNED OUT
THAT CAT HADN'T BEEN INVOLVED.

THEY'VE ALREADY
GIVEN ME $100,000.

Narrator: AS CAT CONTINUES TO TALK,
HER FOCUS IS MORE ON THE MONEY

THAN ON SOLVING CORY'S MURDER.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

YEAH, IT'S GOING TO SET UP
MY KIDS FOR LIFE.

WE KNOW THAT WITHIN LESS THAN
3 DAYS OF CORY BEING MURDERED

THAT SHE WAS PROVIDED
A BENEFIT FROM THE NAVY.

Narrator: A BENEFIT WORTH
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

THEY ONLY GAVE HER
$250,000 INITIALLY.

THEY HAD TO, I GUESS,
DO AN INVESTIGATION

BEFORE SHE GOT THE OTHER HALF.

THAT WAS HER MAIN CONCERN,
WAS THE MONEY

AND WHY SHE WASN'T
GETTING THE FULL $500,000.

WHY DO YOU THINK
THIS IS HAPPENING?

WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?

THEY OWE ME $500,000.

WE HAD PUT A HOLD ON THAT UNTIL
THE INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETE,

AND SHE COULD'VE BEEN
RULED OUT AS A SUSPECT.

Narrator: IT'S A STANDARD PRACTICE
BUT ONE THAT HAS CATHERINA VERY UPSET

Rilee: CATHERINA HAD MADE
THIS COMPLAINT

TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

AND TO ALL OF HER
FRIENDS AND FAMILY

THAT WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING

AND THAT THE INVESTIGATION
WASN'T GOING TO BE SOLVED

AND HOW BADLY
SHE WANTED IT SOLVED.

WHAT I DESERVE.
IT'S WHAT THE KIDS DESERVE.

Narrator: THE MORE ASHLEY
GETS CAT TO TALK,

THE MORE CONVINCED
SHE IS HER FRIEND

HAS SOMETHING TO DO
WITH CORY'S MURDER,

AND IT MAKES HER INCREASINGLY
UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE THERE.

Rilee: ASHLEY WAS A BIT NERVOUS
AND AT ONE POINT FELT

AS IF CAT RECOGNIZED
SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS.

I HAVE TO GO.

Doyle: I KEPT THINKING SHE WAS
GOING TO KNOW.

I FORGOT.

AND THEN IT COULD ESCALATE
IF SHE KILLED CORY.

YOU KNOW, WOULD SHE
KILL ME, TOO?

WHAT IS SHE CAPABLE OF?

BYE.

Narrator: THREE WEEKS LATER,
WITH POLICE UNABLE TO PROVE ANYTHING,

CAT AND MICHAEL HEAD OFF
TO NORTH CAROLINA'S

OUTER BANKS ON VACATION.

UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM,
THEIR EVERY MOVE IS WATCHED.

WE FOUND OUT THEY STAYED
IN A LUXURY SUITE.

THEY BLEW THROUGH, LIKE,
$10,000 JUST BUYING JEWELRY.

SHE MAY NOT HAVE LOVED
MY BROTHER A LOT,

BUT SHE DID CARE FOR HIM.

THAT'S WHAT I HAD THOUGHT.

THIS BEHAVIOR AFTER SHE GOT
HER INSURANCE MONEY

MADE ME QUESTION EXACTLY HOW
MUCH AFFECTION SHE HAD FOR HIM.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, DETECTIVES
SUBPOENA HER BANK RECORDS,

REVEALING A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

THE ACCOUNT CORY TRIED
TO ACCESS HAD BEEN OPENED

JUST 6 DAYS BEFORE HIS MURDER,

AND IT NEVER HAD
MORE THAN $5 IN IT.

Rilee: THERE WERE THREE ATTEMPTS
TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL:

$60, THEN $40, THEN $20,

ALL OF WHICH THERE WERE
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.

THE THEORY FOR THAT IS THAT SHE
DIDN'T JUST WANT HIM TO GO IN,

GET THE MONEY AND LEAVE.

SHE WANTED HIM
TO STRUGGLE THERE.

Narrator: PERHAPS THE MOST
DAMNING SURPRISE

IS THAT THE ACCOUNT IS COSIGNED

BY CAT'S BOYFRIEND,
MICHAEL DRAVEN.

I MEAN, WHERE WAS
HER CONSCIENCE?

DID SHE EVER STOP AND THINK?

Narrator: A DEEPER DIVE INTO
CATHERINA'S BACKGROUND

TURNS UP EVEN MORE
SHOCKING REVELATIONS.

CAT ISN'T THE UKRAINIAN
IMMIGRANT SHE PRETENDS TO BE.

SHE'S A LOCAL GIRL,
KATHLEEN WIGGINS.

Doyle: SHE GREW UP
IN NEWPORT NEWS,

BUT SHE PRETENDED
THAT SHE WAS SOMEONE ELSE.

THE WHOLE TIME WE KNEW
EACH OTHER,

OUR WHOLE FRIENDSHIP,
I CALLED HER CATHERINA.

SHE WAS AN ACTRESS
IN A LOT OF WAYS.

SHE PUT ON THIS PERSONA
OF WHO SHE WANTED PEOPLE

TO THINK SHE WAS,
AND SHE WAS VERY CONVINCING.

Rilee: CAT GRADUATED
FROM SCHOOL HERE,

HAD BEEN MARRIED
ONE TIME PREVIOUSLY.

Narrator: JUST AFTER
FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL,

SHE AND BOYFRIEND
STEVE LARSON WED.

I MET HER IN HIGH SCHOOL.

I DID FALL IN LOVE WITH HER.

I WANT TO SAY I WAS
YOUNG AND DUMB.

Narrator: STEVE JOINS THE ARMY
TO SUPPORT THEM,

AND THE RELATIONSHIP SOON
FOLLOWS A FAMILIAR PATTERN:

LONG DEPLOYMENTS,
MANIC SHOPPING,

AND ULTIMATELY INFIDELITY.

WHEN I CAME HOME FROM KOREA,
SHE STOOD ME UP AT THE AIRPORT,

AND THEN WHEN SHE DID
FINALLY SHOW UP,

SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS
3 MONTHS PREGNANT.

Narrator:
PREGNANT WITH CORY VOSS'S BABY.

I HAD STARTED GOING TO CHURCH
AND EVERYTHING IN THE MILITARY,

AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS WILLING TO
FORGIVE AND FORGET AND MOVE ON.

Narrator: KATHLEEN WANTED STEVE
OUT OF THE PICTURE,

PICKING FIGHTS WHENEVER
SHE GOT THE CHANCE.

SHE CHANGED
WHILE I WAS GONE.

SHE'S NOT THE SAME PERSON.

THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
WE HAD A FIGHT,

AND I TRIED TO KEEP
WALKING AWAY AND EVERYTHING,

AND SHE JUST WANTED
TO CORNER ME.

AT ONE POINT, I ACTUALLY
BROKE THE WINDOW OUT,

AND I CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW.

I WAS DONE WITH HER HURTING ME,

AND AFTER I SIGNED
THAT DIVORCE PAPER,

WE NEVER, NEVER TALKED AGAIN.

Narrator:
STEVE'S TROUBLING ACCOUNT

ADDS TO THE CIRCUMSTANTIAL
CASE AGAINST CAT,

BUT SHE DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER
IN HER HUSBAND'S MURDER.

[ GUNSHOT ]

♪♪♪♪

I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANY IDEA
OF HOW MANY TWISTS

AND TURNS THE CASE
WOULD ULTIMATELY TAKE.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS ARE
CONVINCED CAT VOSS AND MICHAEL DRAVEN

ARRANGED CORY VOSS'S MURDER
FOR FINANCIAL GAIN,

BUT THEY STILL NEED
HARD EVIDENCE

TO PUT THE PIECES
OF THIS CONSPIRACY TOGETHER.

WE BELIEVED EARLY ON
THAT MICHAEL DRAVEN HAD

HAD INVOLVEMENT
IN THE MURDER,

BUT WE WEREN'T SURE WHETHER
HE ACTUALLY WAS THE GUNMAN

AS WE COULDN'T GET
A CLEAR IDENTITY

FROM THE SURVEILLANCE PHOTO.

SO WE CONTINUED LOOKING

AS TO WHAT OTHER POSSIBILITIES

MAY BE THERE.

Narrator: DELVING INTO DRAVEN'S
PAST, INVESTIGATORS LEARN THAT

A MONTH BEFORE THE MURDER,

HE SPENT SOME TIME IN CITY JAIL
ON A DOMESTIC ABUSE WARRANT.

Rilee: DURING THOSE 6 OR 7 DAYS
THAT HE WAS INCARCERATED,

WE DID FIND A NUMBER
OF PHONE CALLS

THAT WERE MADE FROM THE JAIL
THAT WERE RECORDED.

THE MAJORITY OF THEM
WERE TO CAT VOSS.

THEY TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING
FROM GETTING MARRIED

TO WHERE THEY WERE
GOING TO GET MARRIED,

THEIR FUTURE TOGETHER.

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

♪♪♪♪

THEY WERE SPEAKING
ABOUT THIS PLAN

TO KILL CORY FROM THE JAIL.

WHAT THOSE PHONE CALLS
PROVIDED US WAS THE BELIEF

THAT THERE WAS
A THIRD PARTY NOW INVOLVED.

WE WERE ABLE TO COMPARE
CAT'S PHONE RECORDS

THAT WE HAD RECOVERED
AND RETRIEVED

AND ULTIMATELY IDENTIFY
THE INDIVIDUAL

KNOWN AS DAVID RUNYON.

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS LEARN
THAT DAVID RUNYON OF WEST VIRGINIA

WAS A MARKSMAN
IN THE MILITARY.

WE LEARNED THAT HE CONDUCTED
OR DID MEDICAL RESEARCH,

AND THAT'S WHERE
HE MET MICHAEL DRAVEN.

IN DECEMBER OF 2007, WE HAD
GATHERED ENOUGH INFORMATION

AND EVIDENCE THAT WE WERE GOING
TO EXECUTE SEARCH WARRANTS

IN MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA
SPECIFICALLY FOR DAVID RUNYON,

HIS RESIDENCE AT THE TIME,

A STORAGE SHED THAT
HE RENTED, AND HIS VEHICLE.

DAVID RUNYON?

IN THE SEARCH OF THE TRUCK,

MY PARTNER ACTUALLY
FOUND IN THE CONSOLE,

THERE'S A HIDDEN COMPARTMENT.

AND IN THAT CONSOLE,

THERE WAS A MAP
OF NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA.

♪♪♪♪

AND THERE WAS ACTUALLY
A PHOTOGRAPH OF CAT VOSS

AND MICHAEL DRAVEN
IN HIS VEHICLE.

♪♪♪♪

WE OPENED THE MAP UP
AND FOUND HANDWRITTEN NOTES

WHICH INCLUDED
THE CREDIT UNION'S NAME,

THE ADDRESS, AND A PHYSICAL
DESCRIPTION OF CORY'S VEHICLE.

♪♪♪♪

Narrator: IT'S WHAT POLICE NEED
TO ARREST ALL THREE PLAYERS

IN THIS SINISTER PLOT.

Rilee: MICHAEL DRAVEN WAS
BROUGHT BACK TO HEADQUARTERS,

AND WE SAT AND TALKED,
AND ULTIMATELY HE CONFESSED

THAT THIS WAS A PLANNED
MURDER THAT CAT

AND HE DEVISED AND HIRED
DAVID RUNYON TO COMMIT.

Draven: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

MICHAEL IS THE ONE
WHO THREW CATHERINA

AND DAVID UNDER THE BUS.

HE BASICALLY SOLD HIM OUT.

CAT TOLD ME THAT CORY...

CAT PROVIDED INFORMATION
TO MICHAEL DRAVEN THAT CORY

WAS ABUSING OR MISTREATING
THE CHILDREN.

AND I BELIEVE THAT
MICHAEL DRAVEN BELIEVED THAT,

AND THAT'S HOW SHE
SORT OF COERCED HIM

INTO LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
TO KILL HER HUSBAND.

Narrator: POLICE CONVINCE MICHAEL
TO LURE CAT TO THE STATION,

PRETENDING HE HASN'T
YET CONFESSED.

I'M AT THE POLICE STATION.

HE CALLED HER AND TOLD HER THAT
HE WAS GOING TO TURN HIMSELF IN.

SHE CURSED AT HIM AND SAID,
"NO, DON'T DO IT!

I'LL BE THERE. I'LL COME THERE
TO GET YOU. DON'T GO IN THERE."

AND SHE ACTUALLY DROVE DOWN
TO THE POLICE STATION.

SHE WAS STOPPED BY DETECTIVES

THAT WERE OUTSIDE
WAITING ON HER.

Narrator: ON DECEMBER 14, 2007,
8 MONTHS AFTER CORY'S MURDER,

CAT VOSS IS ARRESTED AND CHARGED
IN CONNECTION WITH THE CRIME.

SHE WASTES NO TIME POINTING
THE FINGER AT EVERYONE ELSE.

I BELIEVE KATHLEEN TRIED
TO MANIPULATE THE SITUATION

TO HAVE IT LOOK MORE LIKE A
MURDER VERSUS A MURDER FOR HIRE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S GOING ON.

WHENEVER KATHLEEN
STARTS HER LIES,

I DO BELIEVE SHE TRULY
BELIEVES WHAT SHE'S SAYING.

IT WASN'T ME!

Narrator:
BUT NO ONE IS BUYING IT.

CAT NEVER THOUGHT SHE WAS
GOING TO BE CAUGHT.

Narrator: SEVEN MONTHS LATER,
CAT HEADS TO COURT.

TO AVOID THE DEATH PENALTY,
SHE AGREES TO PLEAD GUILTY

TO CONSPIRACY
TO COMMIT MURDER FOR HIRE.

SHE ADMITTED THAT
SHE HAD SET THIS UP.

SHE ADMITTED THAT SHE HAD HIM
GO TO THE ATM TO GET THE MONEY,

THAT SHE AND
MICHAEL DRAVEN HIRED DAVID

TO LIE IN WAIT
AND KILL HIM.

THAT'S THE SORT OF THING
THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT IN,

LIKE, SOAP OPERAS.

IT REALLY ONLY WORKS IN FICTION.

SHE JUST SEEMED FOOLISH
AND STUPID AND GREEDY.

Narrator: CAT IS SENTENCED
TO FOUR LIFE TERMS IN PRISON,

PLUS 20 ADDITIONAL YEARS.

ON JULY 17, 2009,
A FEDERAL JURY CONVICTS

MICHAEL DRAVEN
AND DAVID RUNYON OF MURDER,

CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER
FOR HIRE, AND CARJACKING.

MICHAEL DRAVEN AND DAVID RUNYON
BOTH CHOSE TO GO TO TRIAL.

MICHAEL DRAVEN RECEIVED
TWO LIFE SENTENCES,

AND DAVID RUNYON RECEIVED
THE DEATH PENALTY.

IT'S HARD WHEN I THINK ABOUT
WHAT MY ROLE WAS IN THE PROCESS.

I DO FEEL GUILTY
FOR DOING WHAT I DID,

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IT WAS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

I COULDN'T LET CORY DIE
AND NOBODY PAY

FOR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM.

IT WASN'T RIGHT WHAT WAS DONE,
AND HE WAS TOO GOOD OF A GUY

TO JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT SPEAK UP.

Narrator: CORY'S FRIENDS
AND FAMILY ARE RELIEVED JUSTICE

HAS BEEN SERVED,

BUT THE PAIN OF
THEIR LOSS ENDURES.

Dustin: I WOULD'VE LIKED
TO HAVE MORE TIME WITH CORY.

I WOULD'VE LIKED TO SEE HOW
HE TURNED OUT IN THE LONG RUN.

I WOULD'VE LIKED TO SEE
HIM SUCCEED EVEN MORE.

I WOULD'VE LIKED TO SEE HIM
RAISE UP HIS KIDS WELL

AND SEE HIM GRADUATE
AND ALL THAT.

NONE OF THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Narrator: CORY TURNED AROUND
HIS TROUBLED PAST

AND HAD A LIMITLESS
FUTURE AHEAD OF HIM.

THE ONLY THING HE DID WRONG
WAS LOVE THE WRONG WOMAN,

AND HE PAID FOR IT
WITH HIS LIFE.

Rilee: CAT NEVER SHOWED
ANY REMORSE.

MY HONEST FEELING WAS THAT
SHE WASN'T REMORSEFUL

FOR WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE.

SHE WAS REMORSEFUL
BECAUSE SHE GOT CAUGHT.
