Your Worst Nightmare (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Psycho for Love - full transcript

DEER PARK - -
IT'S JUST KIND OF A SMALL TOWN

ALONG A COUPLE OF SMALL CREEKS
AND MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE.

IT'S A TOWN
THAT IS FAIRLY QUIET.

CLOSE-KNIT NEIGHBORS
AND NEIGHBORHOODS.

LESS THAN 10,000 PEOPLE.

WE WERE KIND OF SURPRISED THAT,
A MURDER HAPPENED HERE.

FAMILY IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

TO 42-YEAR-OLD CHANIN STARBUCK.

AND AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM
FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS,

IT'S REALLY BEEN THE ONLY THING.

- ANY HOMEWORK TONIGHT?
- A LITTLE.



I'LL JUST DO IT
WHEN I GET TO DAD'S.

NO, YOU BETTER DO IT NOW,

ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANNA PLAY
VIDEO GAMES WITH YOUR DAD LATER.

FINE.

AND MAKE SURE YOUR SISTERS
HAVE THEIR STUFF TOGETHER, OKAY?

ALMOST TIME TO GO.

CHANIN HAD FIVE CHILDREN.

THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING
GOING ON.

SHE HAD SO MANY FRIENDS
IN DEER PARK,

AND SHE JUST CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.

SHE WAS VERY STRONG
IN HER CHURCH.

SHE WAS AN ENJOYABLE PERSON,
A LOVING PERSON TO KNOW.

CLAY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING? WHAT HAPPENED?

JUST CHECKING TO SEE
IF YOU STILL KEPT A KEY OUTSIDE.



GUESS SO.

NOW I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR
YEARS THAT'S A BAD HIDING SPOT.

IT'S TOO OBVIOUS.

I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND.

KIDS! DAD'S HERE.

UP UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO,

CLAY AND CHANIN WERE MARRIED.

IN THE TWO DECADES
THEY WERE TOGETHER,

THEY HAD THEIR SHARE
OF UPS AND DOWNS.

HE WAS TALL, DARK, AND HANDSOME,

AND SHE LIKED TALL,
DARK, AND HANDSOME.

THEY NEW EACH OTHER ABOUT
A YEAR, AND THEY GOT MARRIED.

AND THEY MOVED AROUND
QUITE A BIT AND ENDED UP

MOVING TO WASHINGTON
TO THE DEER PARK AREA.

AFTER STARTING
A FAMILY, CHANIN STAYED HOME

WHILE CLAY TRAVELED FOR WORK
ON THE ALASKAN PIPELINES.

OVER TIME, THE TWO GREW APART.
DIVORCE WAS INEVITABLE.

AFTER THE DIVORCE,

THE OLDER BOYS
WENT TO LIVE WITH THEIR DAD.

THE THREE YOUNGER CHILDREN
STAYED WITH CHANIN.

THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT CLAY
WOULD CONTINUE

TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

BUT CLAY HAD HAD BACK SURGERY.

HE WAS ON DISABILITY.

COME ON, GUYS. DAD'S HERE.
HURRY UP.

HEY, HEY, HEY! YOU KIDS READY
FOR A WILD WEEKEND?

DAD, PLEASE DON'T EVER
DO THAT IN PUBLIC.

- IT'S EMBARRASSING.
- HI, DAD.

DON'T FORGET YOUR BACKPACKS,
OKAY?

OKAY, MOM.

I'LL PICK YOU UP
AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY.

- ALL RIGHT.
- BYE.

- BYE.
- BYE.

WITH CLAY ON DISABILITY,

HE'S GOT MORE TIME
TO HELP OUT WITH THE CHILDREN.

BUT THERE IS A GROWING NEED
FOR CHANIN

TO GENERATE HER OWN INCOME,

SO SHE ENROLLED
IN DENTAL SCHOOL.

IT WAS A BIG DEAL.

SHE WAS SO EXCITED
TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT SHE WANTED

AND TO BE SELF-RELIANT.

CHANIN!

HEY!

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

JUST SELLING BACK
SOME OF MY OLD TEXTBOOKS.

CLAY'S STILL ON DISABILITY,

SO THE CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS
AREN'T EXACTLY ROLLING IN.

YEAH, HOW'S THAT GOING?

I HEARD HE BOUGHT A PLACE
NOT TOO FAR FROM YOURS.

YEAH, THAT'S CLAY.

LEAVE IT TO HIM
TO BE AROUND MORE NOW

THAT WE'RE NOT TOGETHER.

I MEAN, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

I APPRECIATE THE HELP
WITH THE KIDS,

BUT I JUST WISH I HAD A LITTLE
BIT MORE SPACE, YOU KNOW?

YOU BEEN DATING AT ALL?

DEER PARK'S NOT EXACTLY
FULL OF ELIGIBLE BACHELORS.

GO ONLINE.
I'VE GOT TONS OF FRIENDS

WHO HAVE MET PEOPLE
THAT WAY.

I THINK
I'M A LITTLE OLDER

THAN MOST OF YOUR FRIENDS.

I PROMISE YOU,
THERE ARE 40-YEAR-OLDS ONLINE.

I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT PLACE
TO MEET PEOPLE.

JUST TRY IT?

YOU DO SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIDS
AND YOUR FAMILY.

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE
DOTED ON YOU FOR A CHANGE.

EVENTUALLY,
CHANIN COMES AROUND

TO THE IDEA OF ONLINE DATING,

AND WHEN SHE FINDS A WEBSITE

GEARED UP TO MATCHING MORMONS
LIKE HERSELF,

SHE SETS UP A PROFILE.

YOU KNOW,
SHE WAS LONELY FOR SOME COMPANY.

ALL SHE HAD WAS THE KIDS.

SO SHE STARTED
SOME ONLINE DATING.

OKAY, NOW WHAT?

"HEY THERE, BEAUTIFUL.
HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING?"

CHANIN HAS NO TROUBLE
MEETING MEN ONLINE.

OVER THE NEXT MONTH, SHE BEGINS
TALKING TO SEVERAL GUYS

AND MEETS UP WITH A HANDSOME
TEACHER NAMED MARK WATERS.

AND THIS POOR KID
WAS SO CERTAIN

THAT HE WAS
FROM THE FUTURE.

I HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE NURSE
AND GET HIM CHECKED OUT.

GOD, YOU HAVE A - -
YOU HAVE A GREAT SMILE.

EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH. YEAH,
UM, JUST A STUDENT

UPSET ABOUT THE GRADE SHE GOT
ON HER LAST PAPER.

IT'S NOTHING.

SO YOU - - YOU HAVE TIME
FOR DESSERT?

YEAH, SURE... IF YOU DO.

ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANT
THIS DATE TO EVER END.

HER AND MARK HAD SEEN EACH OTHER
A COUPLE OF TIMES.

THEY'D GONE OUT
PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE TIMES.

NOTHING SERIOUS. CHANIN DIDN'T
WANT ANYTHING SERIOUS.

SHE HAD JUST COME
OUT OF A PRETTY LONG,

TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP.

AND I THINK SHE WAS JUST KIND OF
ENJOYING THE POSITIVE ATTENTION.

SHE - - SHE LIKED HAVING PEOPLE
THINK SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL

AND SOMEONE TO DOTE ON HER
AND PUT HER FIRST

IN THEIR WORLD.

I KNOW,
I'M - - I'M BEING CAREFUL.

WELL ACTUALLY,
WE'VE BEEN ON A FEW DATES NOW.

IT'S NICE. I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST WANT TO TAKE THINGS SLOW.

WE WOULD TALK EVERY DAY,

AND SHE WOULD TELL ME
WHAT THE CHILDREN WERE DOING.

WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION.

Kids okay?
How was drop-off this morning?

ACTUALLY, CLAY'S BEEN TAKING
THEM TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS.

Is that good or bad?

I MEAN, GOOD, I GUESS.
IT GIVES ME A BREAK.

I JUST... I DON'T KNOW,

I FEEL LIKE HE'S USING IT
AS AN EXCUSE TO CHECK UP ON ME.

What do you mean?

WELL, I JUST...

I HAVE TO GO THROUGH HIM
FOR EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, I MEAN YOU KNOW THE LEASE
IS STILL IN HIS NAME.

IT'S JUST HOW CLAY IS.

YEAH, LIKE,
I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE,

LAST MONTH THE POWER
GOT SHUT OFF

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PAY
THE BILL ON TIME.

I JUST WISH HE DIDN'T HAVE
SO MUCH CONTROL.

Well, you know
how I feel about clay.

YEAH, WELL, I JUST CAN'T WAIT
UNTIL I HAVE A JOB OF MY OWN

SO I DON'T HAVE
TO RELY ON HIM SO MUCH.

HEY, MOM.
CAN I CALL YOU RIGHT BACK?

- Okay, sweetheart.
- OKAY, BYE.

HELLO?

ANYONE OUT HERE?

PICK YOU UP
AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY.

- ALL RIGHT.
- BYE.

- BYE.
- BYE.

AFTER 20 YEARS
AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM,

42-YEAR-OLD CHANIN STARBUCK

IS SEARCHING
FOR A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.

BUT HAVING HER HOME VANDALIZED

ISN'T EXACTLY
WHAT SHE HAD IN MIND.

SHE COULD TELL
SOMEBODY HAD BEEN THERE.

THE LIGHTBULBS
HAD ALL BEEN UNSCREWED,

AND THE BARBECUE
HAD BEEN KNOCKED OVER.

OKAY, WELL, IS THIS
THE ONLY DISTURBANCE YOU FOUND?

YES,
THAT AND THE LIGHTBULBS.

AND YOU'RE SURE NO ONE'S CHANGED
THOSE BULBS RECENTLY.

MAYBE ONE OF YOUR KIDS.

WELL...

NOTHING'S BEEN STOLEN.

THERE'S NO SIGNS
OF BREAKING AND ENTERING.

WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS YOURS,
I JUST SAY THIS IS KID STUFF.

JUVENILE PRANK OF SOME SORT.

I'LL FILE THE REPORT,
BUT I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING.

GIVE US A CALL
IF YOU FIND ANYTHING ELSE, OKAY?

CHANIN WAS TERRIFIED.

SHE WOULD TAPE THE DOOR
WITH LIKE, CLEAR TAPE

SO SHE COULD TELL
IF IT HAD BEEN OPENED.

SHE ALSO PUT SOME CAMERAS IN
TO SEE

WHO HAD BEEN INTO HER HOME.

ALL RIGHT. NOW JUST FLIP
THE SWITCH IN THE BACK,

AND WE SHOULD BE
GOOD TO GO.

HOW'S THE ANGLE?
CAN YOU SEE THE BACK DOOR?

YEAH.

WELL, IF ANYONE KICKS OVER
YOUR GRILL AGAIN,

WE'LL DEFINITELY SEE 'EM.

LOOK, I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING,

BUT I CAN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
WITH THE KIDS IN THE HOUSE.

WHAT IF IT'S SOME GUY
I MET ONLINE?

DON'T DO THAT.

YOU DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.

IT WASN'T ONE
OF THE ONLINE GUYS.

THE - - THE POLICE SAID IT WAS
PROBABLY A NEIGHBORHOOD PRANK.

I MEAN, THIS IS DEER PARK
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING HERE?

THE INCIDENT DOESN'T
DISRUPT CHANIN'S LIFE FOR LONG.

SHE STAYS BUSY WITH THE KIDS,
SCHOOL, AND HER ONLINE DATES.

SHE STILL SEES MARK
OCCASIONALLY.

BUT SHE ALSO RECENTLY STRUCK UP
A FLIRTATION WITH A NEW GUY,

A SMOOTH-TALKING CAR SALESMAN
NAMED GREG SANDERSON.

HELLO?

Hey, sexy.
What are you wearing?

HEY, GREG.
HOW ARE YOU?

ONLINE DATING
FOR CHANIN WAS THE OPPOSITE

OF ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY
THAT SHE HAD AT HOME.

IT WAS A REFRESHER
AT WHERE SHE COULD BREATHE.

ARE WE STILL ON
FOR TOMORROW?

On...
Let's see.

I don't know how much is going
to be on either of us tomorrow.

YEAH?

Yeah. And I thought
I might pick up a few toys.

I HAVE KIDS.

I HAVE ENOUGH TOYS,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

No, no. Trust me,

you will wonder how you ever
lived without these toys,

especially the way
I intend to use them.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

YEAH.

BYE.

WELL, YOU, MY DEAR,
ARE JUST FULL OF SURPRISES.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

I GUESS YOU JUST BRING OUT
THE WILD SIDE IN ME.

I WANNA SEE MORE OF THAT SIDE
VERY SOON.

MAYBE THURSDAY?

I THINK THAT CAN WORK.

GREAT.

I'LL CALL YOU.

PLEASE DO.

- THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
- SURE.

AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

- SEE YOU SOON.
- OKAY.

CHANIN CAN'T IMAGINE
WHY STRANGE THINGS

HAVE SUDDENLY STARTED
HAPPENING TO HER

OR WHO MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE.

SHE DOES ALL SHE CAN TO RESTORE
HER SENSE OF SECURITY.

ALL SET, CHANIN. NEW LOCKS
ON EVERY DOOR IN THE HOUSE.

THANKS, KEVIN.

WELL, I THINK WE HAVE
EVERYTHING WE NEED.

DO YOU THINK WHAT HAPPENED
DOWN ON THE BACK PORCH

IS RELATED TO THIS?

MIGHT BE. MIGHT NOT BE.

BUT I'D JUST PAY EXTRA ATTENTION
TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE

FROM HERE ON OUT,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NO,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

I - - I'VE PUT IN A CAMERA.
I'VE INSTALLED NEW LOCKS.

WHAT MORE
AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

JUST KEEP US IN THE LOOP,
LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

GIVE US A CALL IF YOU SEE
ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,
BE CAREFUL, OKAY?

I'LL LET MYSELF OUT.

SHE HAD ALL THE LOCKS CHANGED.

SHE DIDN'T GIVE A SPARE KEY
TO THE KIDS.

NOBODY HAD A KEY TO CHANIN'S
HOUSE EXCEPT FOR HER LANDLORD.

SHE FELT SAFE NOWHERE.

TWO WEEKS LATER,
CHANIN IS BUSY

WITH HER MORNING ROUTINE
WHEN SHE GETS

AN UNEXPECTED CALL.

HELLO?

Hey, it's me.

I AM SO SORRY.

I WENT OUTSIDE,
AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START.

CAN YOU TAKE THE KIDS
TO SCHOOL TODAY?

USUALLY CLAY TOOK THE KIDS
TO SCHOOL EVERY MORNING.

BUT ON THAT MORNING, SHE NEEDED
TO TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL,

WHICH WAS OUT OF THEIR ROUTINE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE SPRINGING THIS ON ME NOW.

I'VE GOT TO MUCH TO DO.
IT'S ALREADY AFTER 8:00.

LOOK, I - - I'VE GOTTA RUN
BY THE ARTIST MARKET.

I HAVE A DATE.

Date?

WHAT KIND OF DATE?

LOOK, DON'T WORRY.

IT'S JUST SOME GUY
I MET ONLINE, NOTHING SERIOUS.

Online?

SERIOUSLY, CHAN,
THERE'S CRAZIES ONLINE.

LOOK, JUST FORGET
I MENTIONED IT, OKAY?

I GOT THE KIDS.

Don't worry about it.
Okay?

SUTTON, LOGAN, COME ON.
TIME FOR SCHOOL! MARSHALL!

AFTER AN ANNOYING CALL

DISRUPTS HER MORNING SCHEDULE...

HELLO?

I am so sorry.

THE CAR WOULDN'T START.

CAN YOU TAKE THE KIDS
TO SCHOOL TODAY?

42-YEAR-OLD CHANIN STARBUCK

LEAVES HER HOUSE
IN A HURRY,

COMPLETELY UNAWARE
THAT SOMEONE IS WATCHING HER.

CHANIN TOOK THE CHILDREN
TO SCHOOL.

SHE DROPPED THEM OFF AT 9

AND THEN WENT BACK HOME
TO GET READY FOR HER DATE.

HEY, CLAY. IT'S ME.

KIDS ARE AT SCHOOL,
SAFE AND SOUND.

I'LL, DROP THEM OFF AT
YOUR PLACE AFTER SCHOOL TODAY.

HOPE THE CAR'S OKAY.

LET ME KNOW
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

OKAY, BYE.

NEEDS SOMETHING.

NECKLACE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

STOP IT.
YOU'RE SCARING ME.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE IT
THIS WAY.

9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Hello?

SHORTLY BEFORE 4:00 P. M.,

CHANIN'S THREE YOUNGEST CHILDREN
ARRIVE AT CLAY'S HOUSE.

HEY, GUYS.
HOW WAS SCHOOL?

FINE, UNTIL MOM FORGOT ABOUT US.

WHAT?

FORGOT ABOUT YOU?

YEAH, WE WERE AT SCHOOL
FOREVER.

I CALLED CHANIN'S PHONE
SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO ANSWER,

AND IT WAS 30 MINUTES
TO 45 MINUTES AFTER SCHOOL

THAT THEY FINALLY GOT A HOLD
OF THEIR BROTHER AUSTIN

WHO CAME TO PICK THEM UP
FROM SCHOOL.

MUST'VE BEEN SOME DATE.

THE DAY GOES BY
WITH NO WORD FROM CHANIN,

AND SO DOES THE NEXT.

BY DECEMBER 3rd, HER FAMILY
IS BESIDE THEMSELVES WITH WORRY.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

Yes, hello.
This is Melanie Bourcier.

I - - I'm calling about
my daughter, Chanin Starbuck.

I CALLED CHANIN,

AND HER VOICEMAIL BOX WAS FULL,
SO THEN I TEXT HER.

I GOT NO RESPONSE.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG.

I- I called her kids
to find out what was going on,

and that's when they told me
that she never showed up

to pick them up
from school yesterday.

So now I'm really worried.

YES, MA'AM,
I, SEE THE FILE HERE.

ON DECEMBER 2nd,
CLAY CALLED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

AND REQUESTED A WELFARE CHECK
ON CHANIN.

A DEPUTY GOES TO THE HOUSE

AND TRIES TO GET
CHANIN'S ATTENTION,

KNOCKS ON THE DOOR,
RINGS THE DOORBELL,

AND ACTUALLY TRIES TO LOOK
IN SOME OF THE WINDOWS

BUT CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING
SUSPICIOUS, SO THEY WALK AWAY.

SO NOW ON DECEMBER 3rd,
MELANIE SAYS THAT SHE, TOO,

HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET
IN TOUCH WITH CHANIN.

NOW IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS,
AND CONCERN IS A LITTLE HIGHER.

LET ME FOLLOW UP ON THIS AND SEE
IF I CAN FIND OUT ANYTHING.

BUT TRY NOT TO WORRY, OKAY?

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

MS. STARBUCK?

MS. STARBUCK?

I'M SORRY, MA'AM, I'M...

DEPUTY DUTTON, I NEED BACKUP
AT 506 RAINER STREET.

HURRY.

IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS
SINCE ANYONE'S HEARD

FROM 42-YEAR-OLD,
MOTHER OF 5, CHANIN STARBUCK.

AT THE REQUEST OF HER FAMILY,

POLICE HAVE GAINED ACCESS
TO HER HOME

IN DEER PARK, WASHINGTON.

MS. STARBUCK?

BUT EVEN THEIR DARKEST FEARS

ARE NO MATCH
FOR WHAT POLICE FIND INSIDE.

I NEED BACKUP
AT 506 RAINER STREET. HURRY.

- DECEASED FEMALE, 42 YEARS OLD.
- YEAH.

BRUISES ON
HER FACE AND ARMS,

WHAT APPEARS TO BE BLOOD
ON THE NORTH RIGHT CORNER

OF THE BED.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

OBVIOUSLY POSED.

CHANIN IS LAYING ON THE BED,
NUDE FOR THE MOST PART,

EXCEPT FOR A HOUSE COAT THAT IS
UNUSUALLY WRAPPED AROUND HER.

AND THERE ARE SEXUAL DEVICES
THAT ARE PLACED AROUND HER BODY.

SOMEONE'S OUT
TO HUMILIATE HER.

THIS IS NOT A NATURAL POSITION
THAT A PERSON WOULD DIE IN.

SO SCRAPE THE NAILS,
LOOK FOR D. N. A.

SWAB THE NECK,
THE MOUTH AREA,

ORDER A RAPE KIT,
TOO, ALL RIGHT?

MIGHT WANNA BAG THAT PHONE.

CHANIN HAD PUT
SOME HIDDEN CAMERAS IN

TO SEE WHO HAD BEEN
COMING INTO HER HOME.

AND WHEN THE COPS
WENT IN AFTER HER MURDER,

THAT SYSTEM WAS MISSING.

EVEN WITHOUT
THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM,

THE CRIME SCENE HAS LEFT POLICE
WITH PLENTY OF LEADS.

BUT BEFORE DETECTIVES
CAN DIVE INTO ANY OF THEM...

HELLO?

THEY'RE INTERRUPTED.

HELLO? EXCUSE ME?

I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY WIFE.

WELL, MY EX-WIFE,
CHANIN STARBUCK.

I DROVE BY HER HOUSE
EARLIER TODAY,

AND THE WHOLE PLACE
WAS COVERED IN POLICE TAPE.

MR. STARBUCK?
DETECTIVE JOHNSON.

RIGHT THIS WAY.
WE CAN SPEAK IN MY OFFICE.

JUST HEAD DOWN
TO THE LEFT.

PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.

MR. STARBUCK, I HATE TO BE
THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT YOUR EX-WIFE...

IS DECEASED.

HER BODY WAS FOUND
IN HER BEDROOM EARLIER TODAY.

WHEN POLICE TOLD CLAY
WHAT HAD HAPPENED,

HE LOOKED DEVASTATED,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST PERSON
YOU'RE GONNA WANNA TALK TO

IS THE HUSBAND
OR THE EX-HUSBAND,

AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT POLICE DID.

SIR, YOUR EX-WIFE'S DEATH
HAS BEEN RULED A HOMICIDE.

NOW I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

BUT AS STANDARD PROCEDURE,
WE NEED TO FIND OUT

AS MUCH AS WE CAN
FROM THOSE WHO KNEW HER BEST.

SO JUST TO START,

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE YOU WERE TWO DAYS AGO,

THE DAY
CHANIN FIRST WENT MISSING?

YEAH, THAT WAS A THURSDAY.
UM...

THAT WAS THE DAY
MY CAR BROKE DOWN.

I, I CALLED CHANIN
THAT MORNING AND TOLD HER

I WASN'T GONNA BE ABLE
TO BRING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.

AND, SHE - -

SHE GOT ALL HUFFY AND SAID
SHE HAD SOME, UM, DATE PLANNED.

WHY SHE WOULD WANNA
GO OUT ON A DATE

WITH SOME ONLINE FREAK
IS BEYOND ME.

ANYWAY, AND THEN SHE
DIDN'T COME HOME THAT NIGHT.

I GUESS I JUST THOUGHT SHE
GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH THE GUY.

NOW CAN - - CAN YOU THINK
OF ANYONE

THAT MIGHT WANNA
HURT CHANIN?

UM...

I MEAN, THESE MEN
ARE STRANGERS PREYING

ON GULLIBLE WOMEN
LIKE CHANIN.

I MEAN, THERE'S SICK PEOPLE
IN THIS WORLD.

IF - - IF YOU WANNA FIND OUT
WHO DID THIS,

YOU CHECK HER PHONE.

YOU CHECK HER COMPUTER.

THAT'S WHAT I'D DO.

DON'T WORRY, MR. STARBUCK,

I ASSURE YOU
WE'RE LOOKING INTO EVERYONE.

THANK YOU.

HER ONLINE DATING ACTIVITIES
WERE A-A BIG RED FLAG.

IT IS VERY POSSIBLE

THAT ONE OF THE PEOPLE SHE'S
SEEING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

SO WHAT'D YOU GET
ON THE CELL PHONE?

SEVERAL CALLS AND TEXTS
BETWEEN CHANIN STARBUCK

AND HER EX-HUSBAND,
THEIR CHILDREN,

COORDINATING SCHEDULES,
FOLLOWING UP ON EACH OTHER.

JUST TYPICAL FAMILY STUFF.

BUT THERE WERE A FEW OTHER CALLS
I FOLLOWED UP ON,

LIKE THIS GUY NAMED MARK.

NOW THE PHONE SHOWS
SEVERAL MISSED CALLS FROM HIM

ON THE DAY
THAT SHE DIED.

APPARENTLY THEY HAD PLANS
TO MEET UP THAT DAY.

NOW IT TOOK US FOREVER

TO TRACK HIM DOWN SINCE
HE'S ALWAYS USING PAY PHONES,

BUT WE FINALLY
TRACKED HIM DOWN

TO THIS ONE OUTSIDE
OF A SCHOOL STUDENT CENTER.

WHO USES PAY PHONES?

WELL, THIS GUY DOES.

HE'S A TEACHER FROM SPOKANE,
MARRIED.

AN AFFAIR?

INTERESTING.

YEAH, I THOUGHT SO, TOO.
BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO... THIS.

IT LOOKS LIKE MARK WASN'T
THE ONLY GUY CHANIN WAS SEEING.

THIS GUY GREG
WAS TEXTING HER CONSTANTLY.

HE HAD SOME PRETTY...
SPECIFIC PLANS FOR CHANIN.

THAT IS SPECIFIC.

YEAH, DID YOU GET TO THE PART
WHERE HE'S ASKING FOR A PICTURE?

THE WAY HE WANTS HER
TO POSE...

THAT'S HOW SHE LOOKED
AT THE CRIME SCENE.

THE EXAMINATION OF CHANIN'S
PHONE ACTUALLY GAVE US

TWO PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE REALLY
THINKING ARE POTENTIAL SUSPECTS.

YOU'VE TOLD ME EVERYTHING
YOU NEED,

AND I'M THINKING THE MUSTANG'S
NOT RIGHT FOR YOU.

I WANNA PUT YOU
IN THAT MINIVAN.

YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE A LOT MORE ROOM,

AND I KNOW IT'S A...

...FIND OUT IT'S MORE.

- YOU GREG SANDERSON?
- THAT'S ME.

DETECTIVE JOHNSTON,
SPOKANE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH CHANIN STARBUCK.

GOT A MINUTE?

I DO. UM, CAN WE FINISH THIS?
JUST TWO SECONDS, THANK YOU.

LET'S GO
TO SOMEPLACE MORE PRIVATE.

LOOK,
ALL I WANTED WAS A PICTURE,

SOMETHING SEXY, YOU KNOW?

AT THE SAME TIME, I THOUGHT
IT WOULD BE FUN FOR CHANIN

TO GET OUT
OF HER COMFORT ZONE.

I'M SORRY TO BE
SO MYSTERIOUS,

BUT MY SITUATION WITH CHANIN
IS...

IT'S COMPLICATED.

I'M MARRIED.

I'VE GOT A FAMILY
IN SPOKANE.

I TEACH SCHOOL.

I SET UP A FALSE NAME ONLINE
TO MEET WOMEN,

AND THAT'S HOW CHANIN AND I
GOT TOGETHER.

SO HOW LONG
HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING CHANIN?

SAY YOU KNEW HER WELL?

I WOULDN'T SAY I KNEW TOO MUCH
ABOUT HER DAILY ACTIVITIES

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

WHY?

WHAT HAPPENED?

CHANIN OKAY?

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE
LAST THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1st?

WE MADE PLANS
TO MEET UP THAT MORNING.

I WENT TO PICK HER UP
AT 10:30, BUT...

BUT SHE WASN'T HOME.

I CAME BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES,
BUT NOTHING.

SO FINALLY I JUST GAVE UP,
I GUESS.

WHAT ABOUT EARLIER
THAT DAY?

SAY 9:00... 9:30?

WHERE WERE YOU THEN?

I LEAVE TO TAKE MY KIDS
TO SCHOOL AT 8:45 EVERY DAY

AND USUALLY GETS
IN THERE AROUND 9:00 OR SO.

ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY,

I DIDN'T HAVE PLANS
TO MEET WITH CHANIN UNTIL 10:30

SO I-I WENT
TO A COFFEE SHOP.

LEFT THERE A LITTLE BEFORE 10:00
AND WENT STRAIGHT TO CHANIN'S.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME
WHAT THE ISSUE IS?

I MEAN, WHERE IS CHANIN?
IS SHE IN SOME SORT OF TROUBLE?

YOU CAN SAY THAT, MARK.

CHANIN'S DEAD.

TWO WEEKS AFTER CHANIN STARBUCK

WAS FOUND BRUTALLY MURDERED

INSIDE HER DEER PARK,
WASHINGTON HOME,

POLICE HAVE HONED IN
ON TWO SUSPECTS.

BUT AS THEY FOLLOW UP
ON THE ALIBIS

PROVIDED BY CHANIN'S
ONLINE LOVE INTERESTS,

A STARTLING DEVELOPMENT
COMES TO LIGHT.

YOU'RE GONNA
WANNA LISTEN TO THIS.

TURNS OUT CHANIN
PLACED A 9-1-1 CALL

ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 1st.

CELL PHONES
DON'T STORE 9-1-1 CALLS.

IT'S A SAFETY PRECAUTION.

LET'S SAY SOMEONE BREAKS
AWAY FROM A KIDNAPPER

TO PLACE A CALL OR SOMETHING,
THAT KIND OF THING.

BUT IT SHOWED UP
IN THE RECORDS

WE SUBPOENAED FROM
HER CELL PHONE PROVIDER.

A SHORT CALL BUT I THINK
YOU'LL FIND WHAT YOU NEED.

THURSDAY,
DECEMBER 1, 2011, 9:17 A. M.

9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Hello?

9:17?

YUP. I'M ASSUMING
THAT NARROWS YOUR WINDOW DOWN.

WELL,
THERE GOES OUR GUY GREG.

HE WAS AT THE OFFICE.
I CHECKED WITH HIS CO-WORKERS.

AND MARK WAS
AT THE COFFEE SHOP.

GOT THERE A LITTLE
BEFORE 10:00...

WE FOUND THAT HE ACTUALLY
POSSESSED A COFFEE RECEIPT

THAT ESTABLISHED HIS WHEREABOUTS
AT THAT EXACT TIME.

WELL, THEN I GUESS
WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

MAYBE NOT.

I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
CHANIN'S PHONE AND COMPUTER.

SOMEONE INSTALLED
SURVEILLANCE SOFTWARE

ONTO CHANIN'S COMPUTER - -
SPYWARE.

IT'S BEEN CAPTURING ALL OF
CHANIN'S ONLINE ACTIVITY - -

HER E-MAILS, WEB BROWSING
HISTORY, EVERYTHING.

AND THERE'S MORE.
THE SPYWARE IS TRACEABLE.

WANNA KNOW TO WHO?

CLAY STARBUCK.

DETECTIVES REVIEW THE FILES

COPIED FROM CHANIN'S COMPUTER

AND SOON DISCOVER
THAT THIS IS A CASE

OF GOOD, OLD-FASHIONED JEALOUSY
GONE TRAGICALLY TOO FAR.

- MORNING.
- MORNING.

- KIDS READY?
- YEAH.

- DAD!
- HEY, MARSH!

- GIRLS, COME ON.
- YOU GUYS READY?

- YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

HERE YOU GO.

SO HOWS THE JOB SEARCH GOING?

HOLD ON.
ONE SECOND.

HELLO?

HEY.

YEAH. NO. STOP IT.

I'LL BE READY THIS TIME,
I PROMISE.

YEAH.

YEAH, I'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES.

OKAY. BYE.

CLAY LIKED TO BE IN CONTROL.
HE WAS LOSING CONTROL OF CHANIN.

SHE HAD GONE TO DENTAL SCHOOL.
SHE WANTED TO DATE.

SHE DIDN'T NEED HIM,
AND HE NEEDED HER TO NEED HIM.

THE FACT THAT HE WENT
TO ALL OF THESE EXTREMES

TO TRACK HER E-MAILS,
HER CELL PHONE ACTIVITY,

ANYTHING
THAT HAD TO DO WITH DATING.

HE'S JUST STALKING CHANIN
AT THIS POINT,

AND HE WANTS TO KNOW
HER EVERY MOVE.

WHEN SHE'S HOME, WHEN SHE'S NOT,

WHO SHE'S WITH
AND WHAT SHE'S DOING.

AND WHEN CLAY
DISCOVERS THAT CHANIN HAS A DATE

SET FOR DECEMBER 1st,

HE DECIDES IT'S TIME
TO MAKE HIS MOVE.

CLAY MAKES THIS PLAN

IN ORDER TO GET CHANIN
TO LEAVE THE HOUSE THAT MORNING

BY TAKING THE CHILDREN
TO SCHOOL.

I AM SO SORRY.

I WENT OUTSIDE,
AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START.

CAN YOU TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL
TODAY?

AND IT WOULD APPEAR
THAT WHEN SHE LEAVES THE HOUSE

AND THE GARAGE DOOR IS UP, HE

HE SNEAKS IN
BECAUSE THERE DOESN'T APPEAR

TO BE ANY FORCED ENTRY.

BUT THEN HE LAID IN WAIT
INSIDE A HOME FOR HER

TO RETURN FROM DROPPING THE KIDS
OFF AT SCHOOL.

IF CLAY HAS BEEN
WATCHING HER E-MAILS AND SUCH,

HE MOST LIKELY WANTS TO COINCIDE
HIS VISIT

WITH CHANIN AND ONE
OF HER POTENTIAL SUITORS.

ON THIS DAY,
CLAY SNUCK INTO THE HOUSE

AND CONFRONTS CHANIN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

AAH!

NO.

NO! AAH!

ULTIMATELY, WE FOUND THAT THERE
WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE.

CLAY DEFINITELY HAD A MOTIVE.

IT WAS TIME TO ARREST HIM
AND TAKE HIM TO TRIAL.

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I LEARNED
THAT CHANIN HAD BEEN MURDERED,

I KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS CLAY.

CLAY MURDERED CHANIN BECAUSE SHE
WAS MOVING ON WITH HER LIFE,

AND SHE WAS DATING OTHER MEN.

HE WAS JEALOUS,
AND HE WAS LOSING CONTROL.

CLAY STARBUCK IS
ARRESTED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2012,

AND CHARGED
WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER

AND SEXUAL DESECRATION
OF HUMAN REMAINS.

HE IS CONVICTED
AND SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON.

HE CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN
HIS INNOCENCE DESPITE THE DENIAL

OF SUBSEQUENT COURT APPEALS.

I THINK ABOUT CHANIN'S KIDS
A LOT.

THEY'VE LOST - -
THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING.

THEY LOST THEIR MOM.
THEY'VE LOST THEIR DAD.

THEY'VE - - THEY'VE REALLY HAD

TO MAKE A NEW LIFE
FOR THEMSELVES ON THEIR OWN.

THOUGH CHANIN'S MOM,
MELANIE,

FOUGHT FOR CUSTODY
OF THE THREE YOUNGEST CHILDREN

AFTER CHANIN'S DEATH,

CHANIN'S OLDEST SON,
21-YEAR-OLD AUSTIN STARBUCK,

ULTIMATELY
BECAME THEIR LEGAL GUARDIAN.

THEY ALL LIVE TOGETHER
IN DEER PARK

WHERE THEY CONTINUE TO FIGHT
FOR THEIR FATHER'S INNOCENCE.

MY FIRST CHILD
WAS TAKEN FROM ME,

AND MY GRANDCHILDREN
HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME.

I HAVE A BIG HOLE IN MY HEART
AND IN MY LIFE FOR MY DAUGHTER

AND MY GRANDCHILDREN.

BUT WHAT I FIND COMFORTING

IS THAT ONE PSYCHOPATH HAS BEEN
TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS.

HE'S IN A 5x10 SQUARE BOX,

AND HE WILL BE TAKEN OUT
IN A 6x5 BOX.
