02:18 cool. We're very excited. So, today

02:20 we're going to be watching a video. Uh,

02:24 by the way, as I was researching videos

02:26 to watch and react to, I can't tell you

02:28 how many crazy murder videos on the Dr.

02:32 Insanity channel and other other

02:35 reaction police footage videos come out

02:38 of the state of Colorado. It's actually

02:40 wild. Like, it started out as kind of a

02:42 joke. Hey, Colorado's a sketchy white

02:44 trash state. Nope. Turns out that's kind

02:47 of a fact. So anyways, I thought we

02:49 would I thought we would turn our

02:51 attention to another sketchy

02:53 methamphetamine driven state, New

02:56 Mexico.

02:58 This is the body cam footage of a couple

03:02 in their 60s living in rural New Mexico.

03:05 The husband goes missing. This is only a

03:08 couple of years old. At the beginning of

03:10 the year, the husband just goes missing

03:15 and the wife of course nobody reports

03:17 it. Nobody reports it for months,

03:21 >> which is crazy. But

03:24 >> quickly the wife becomes the prime

03:26 suspect. And what you're about to see is

03:29 a mix of Karen, what's her name? Tiger

03:31 King. Karen,

03:34 >> I don't know. Whatever.

03:35 >> Basset.

03:36 >> Yeah. It's you're gonna see a mix of

03:38 Tiger King, Karen Basset, and Insert

03:42 Your Crazy Broad.

03:44 >> Well, this is this is a little

03:46 compilation right here real quick on

03:47 what's coming. So, let's play that.

03:50 >> Doesn't look like anyone's been here.

03:54 >> What's that smell?

03:56 >> This officer is unknowingly reacting to

04:00 the decomposition order coming from

04:02 Craig Thatford's hidden body. Police

04:05 have been searching for him for months

04:07 with no success. And even now, with the

04:10 foul odor in the air, they still have no

04:12 idea he's buried only feet away. Wow. Is

04:17 >> that dirt? Where's that blood? And

04:19 >> this is the only way I've been able to

04:21 have any communication with you. And I

04:24 don't even know if it's him.

04:25 >> I wouldn't even know where to start

04:26 looking.

04:27 >> There's some weird going on.

04:30 Whoever killed Craig covered their

04:32 tracks meticulously, using chemicals to

04:34 mask the odor, disabling security

04:37 cameras, and hiding in plain sight. And

04:40 while detectives spend months trying to

04:42 figure out where Craig went, the

04:44 suspected killer quietly continues

04:46 spending Craig's money, allegedly buying

04:48 houses, cars, and crafting a plan to

04:51 ensure they are never found.

04:56 >> Holy smokes. Well, I want to say

04:58 something else, but I don't want to

04:59 implicate her.

05:01 >> You need to say it.

05:02 >> You might start looking in the

05:04 Caribbean.

05:11 Can I just say

05:13 Can I just say

05:15 thou doth protest too much? You might

05:18 want to start looking uh under the Great

05:21 Wall of China. Like you're just trying

05:23 to like Don't be so obvious with your

05:26 throwoff methods, ladies. If you kill

05:28 your spouse,

05:30 >> um it's funny. It's going to show

05:32 picture pictures of Craig. Craig looks

05:34 like an all right guy. He looks kind of

05:36 a cool guy. You know, he's retired on a

05:39 couple pensions. He's living up in the

05:40 [ __ ] mountains with this crazy woman

05:42 who, by the way, he he just he's only

05:45 been with for like a few years. And and

05:48 here obviously he's got money. You'd

05:49 think he'd get himself a a 30-year-old

05:51 or a 25-year-old. Instead, he gets some

05:53 old broad and he's got to be like in his

05:55 early 60s. He's obviously in good shape.

05:57 He's got a four He's got, you know, uh

06:00 what are those? Four what? Uh four

06:01 >> four wheelers.

06:02 >> Fourwheelers. Yeah.

06:04 >> Yeah. He's got all kinds of stuff. He's

06:05 up in the mountains. He, you know,

06:07 >> he's got he's got a he's got a floor

06:09 safe in his garage filled with hundreds

06:13 of thousands of dollars.

06:14 >> Yeah. Yeah.

06:15 >> So, Craig was an old school guy. Craig

06:18 doesn't trust the banks. Craig Craig

06:20 probably had some some some doomsday

06:23 meal prep kits. You know, these were

06:25 like these were some put some tobacco in

06:27 your lip, go shoot an illegal immigrant

06:30 just trying to cross the border to uh

06:32 make a better life for themsel. The

06:34 these are these kind of guys, you know.

06:35 So Craig seemed like an all right guy.

06:38 You're right. Old school guy. I don't

06:40 know why old school people like they I

06:45 that have been divorced and already have

06:47 raised kids. Why not go marry a Filipino

06:52 hook? I was just go grab a go to

06:54 Thailand. Go grab some [ __ ]

06:55 25year-old [ __ ] Thai chick who's

06:57 happy that she's got shoes. I mean,

07:00 what? You don't need to go buy Go grab

07:01 some 50-year-old woman who's a pain in

07:04 the ass. This all she's been married

07:06 four times,

07:07 >> right? Go get a Go get a Go get a

07:09 Filipino woman and you've got a wife, a

07:11 cleaner, and a cook.

07:12 >> Yeah. Listen, you've been married you've

07:14 been married two or three times. You're

07:16 the problem. Let's f it's you're the

07:18 problem, you Well, I think both of

07:20 these, as you're about to see, uh

07:22 Craig's new wife uh was married four

07:26 times.

07:26 >> Four times.

07:27 >> And Craig was probably married a handful

07:29 of times. That's just kind of what the

07:30 boomers did. You know, this they're I

07:33 guess Gen Xers, but old young boomers,

07:37 old Gen Xers. You guys just got married

07:39 a couple of times. And

07:42 >> yeah,

07:42 >> keep going. Keep going. My sister's been

07:46 married to the same guy for like 40

07:47 years. So, and she's she's 15 years

07:51 older than me. All right. She is

07:53 >> She might kill She might kill her

07:54 husband, though.

07:54 >> She is like like a boomer.

07:56 >> All right.

07:57 >> May evening in Cloudcraftoft, New

07:59 Mexico. Tucked among wooded acreage and

08:02 mountain terrain sits a 2,000q ft

08:05 property owned by 60-year-old Craig

08:08 Thatford. He lives inside this large

08:11 three-story house with his wife, Dena.

08:13 The Thatfords enjoy a comfortable

08:15 lifestyle thanks to Craig's roofing

08:17 business. Hold on.

08:18 >> Yes, she's crazy. Uh, she deserves to be

08:22 in prison. I I don't want anything to do

08:24 with her. But if I was all alone up in

08:27 the mountains of New Mexico.

08:29 Yes. Yes.

08:32 She's getting cracked the [ __ ] open.

08:37 All right. Can we keep going?

08:38 >> I own multiple residential properties

08:40 and frequently take luxury vacations.

08:43 But a few months ago, something dark

08:45 took place inside the Thatford

08:46 household, and it went unnoticed for

08:49 weeks until May 2025 when the Otto

08:52 County Sheriff's Office receives a

08:54 disturbing call.

08:56 >> Communications on a recorded line. How

08:57 can I help you?

08:58 >> Who would I talk to to have a wellness

09:00 check done on an individual?

09:02 >> That would be me. What's going on?

09:04 >> His name is Craig Fetford. Everybody

09:07 here in Texas has been trying to get a

09:09 hold of Craig for nearly 2 months. We

09:11 can't get a hold of his wife. We're

09:13 really concerned about him because this

09:15 is not like him. He always answers his

09:18 phone or calls back. Even his family

09:20 here hasn't been able to get a hold of

09:22 him. Nobody can get a hold of him.

09:24 >> On the line is Larry Scott.

09:27 >> I don't think anybody would I don't know

09:29 who would call if I disappeared. If Jess

09:31 didn't call, I don't know anybody. It'd

09:32 be It'd be months. I don't know who'd

09:34 call. Call me would call.

09:37 >> Yeah. I mean, you mean call the

09:39 authorities?

09:40 >> Yeah. I I don't know, you know, if it

09:41 weren't for like Jess and Colobby, I

09:43 don't know who would call to complain to

09:44 say, "Hey, man, I haven't heard from

09:46 this guy."

09:46 >> I mean, I would because I got a we got

09:49 podcast to do.

09:50 >> Yeah. Other than business relationships,

09:52 I'm saying.

09:53 >> Yeah. No, I don't have anyone who loves

09:55 me either.

09:56 >> Thank you. That's what I'm trying to

09:57 avoid saying. Thank you.

10:00 >> Requesting a welfare check on his

10:02 friend. But something about this call is

10:04 different. As Larry explains, nobody has

10:08 seen Craig or his wife for months. A

10:11 detail that's highly unusual since most

10:14 missing person reports come within days.

10:17 Following this, officers are dispatched

10:20 to the address to conduct a welfare

10:22 check on the Thatford couple. Once they

10:24 pull up to the long driveway and step

10:26 out into the mountaineire, they can

10:28 sense something is off about this place.

10:53 Sher's office.

11:10 Can you see anything through the

11:11 windows?

11:12 >> Yeah, I got a pretty good look through

11:14 the windows. Doesn't look like there's

11:16 anyone in there.

11:17 >> As officers walk around the residence,

11:19 they notice the sheer size of the

11:21 property with multiple carports and

11:23 outbuildings. Lights are on throughout

11:26 the home itself, but strangely no one

11:29 answers the door. Looking through the

11:31 windows, one officer notices several

11:34 boxes stacked, suggesting that the

11:36 couple might be in the process of moving

11:39 or had already left. As another officer

11:41 circles towards the carport, he

11:43 hesitates. There's something odd about

11:46 the air around him.

11:48 I

11:49 >> got a pretty decent security camera on

11:50 the back.

11:56 Doesn't look like anyone's been here.

12:02 >> What's that smell?

12:05 >> That would be me as an officer. Like,

12:07 what's that smell? Like, I can't Listen,

12:09 I had a friend, a a a woman, this is 25

12:14 years ago, that I showed up to her

12:17 wedding and she's like, listen, she had

12:19 like a camcorder. This is back before

12:21 you had like phones and [ __ ] like like a

12:23 camcorder. And she goes, "Can you I need

12:25 you to video the, you know, the the um

12:29 wedding." And she gave everybody photos,

12:31 you know, the little instant cameras to

12:34 take photos of each other. And I was

12:35 like, "Yeah, sure. No problem." I was

12:36 like, "Really?" And she's like, "Yeah."

12:37 And I was like, "You don't have

12:38 somebody?" She's like, like the person

12:39 was going to do it and didn't show

12:40 whatever. So I grabbed the camcorder.

12:42 The problem is I didn't realize it's

12:45 actually recording your voice too, like

12:48 audio. So, I'm sitting there giving nar

12:51 I'm narrating the whole thing. Like I'm

12:53 up there while they're doing the their

12:56 vows and everything and I'm going this

12:58 [ __ ] poor guy. He has no idea what

13:01 he's getting into. I was like I was like

13:03 and I'm on her. I'm like like crazy.

13:06 Like

13:08 I'm just saying all kinds of saying all

13:10 kinds of [ __ ] up [ __ ] And so like

13:13 three weeks later I get a phone call

13:14 from you ruined my [ __ ] wedding tape.

13:18 Like what? What do you I'm like what are

13:20 you talking about? And she starts

13:22 telling me what I'm saying. I'm like oh

13:24 [ __ ]

13:26 >> This is what I would be doing.

13:27 >> Wild. Matt, did you did they did they

13:29 make it? Are they divorced?

13:31 >> Oh no. They got they got divorced. This

13:33 chick had already been divorced like

13:34 she'd had she had been divorced twice

13:36 and had one marriage anold. This was

13:38 basically her fourth.

13:40 >> Oh wow. Oh.

13:42 >> And she's married again now. She's been

13:43 married five times that I know of.

13:45 >> Oh, I'm sure this time will be

13:47 different. She's insane. Yeah.

13:49 >> By the way, who do you Who would be I

13:50 just pictured you when you said if I was

13:52 a cop. I just pictured f 5 foot five

13:58 Matthew Cox.

13:59 >> 56. I'd be all like looking in the

14:01 window like dang, bro. Like

14:04 >> up up on your tippy toes looking through

14:05 the window. I I just picture you wearing

14:07 a bulletproof vest. You'd be swimming in

14:10 that thing, dude. You would look like a

14:12 pee-wee football player with pads that

14:14 were too big. I just can't imagine you.

14:17 Now, before we move on, would you be how

14:20 who would be a more corrupt cop? You

14:22 think you or me?

14:24 >> I would not be a corrupt cop.

14:27 >> Yeah, that's what all corrupt cops say.

14:29 >> I would be a good cop.

14:31 >> No, no, no. I Okay, I would take money

14:33 from drug dealers. You would get a

14:36 [ __ ] in the back of a cruiser to

14:38 women out of the DUI.

14:39 >> I could see shaking down a drug dealer.

14:41 Listen, I had multiple uh Mexicans tell

14:44 me that that when they got pulled over,

14:47 uh the cop would be like, "Listen, if I

14:49 turn in the $10,000 that I pulled off

14:52 you, anything over $6,000 is considered

14:57 this much drug weight, and that's a

14:59 mandatory minimum of 10 years. If I take

15:03 $5,000 and I put and I say I only found

15:06 5,000, then you'll get a mandatory

15:08 minimum of five years. what do you want

15:10 me to do? And they'd go, "Take the

15:12 $5,000." He'd go, "I don't want to hear

15:14 about this. I don't want your lawyer

15:15 bringing this up. I don't I'm doing you

15:16 a favor. Absolutely. Take the 5,000."

15:18 And they'd take it. And I don't mean one

15:20 I mean multiple [ __ ] Mexicans in the

15:23 f these are DEA agents who are like,

15:26 "This is what the mandatory minimum is.

15:27 We found this much ICE. We got this much

15:30 cash. This is what it converts to. What

15:32 do you want us to do? Take the 5,000."

15:35 Dude, it's you don't People don't

15:38 appreciate how rampant corruption is

15:41 even in even in the United States.

15:44 Like, it's it's just bananas, dude.

15:48 Coming from the carport, a faint strange

15:51 odor drifts through the space. But up in

15:54 the mountains with wildlife and wooded

15:56 terrain, unusual smells aren't uncommon.

16:00 So, the officer brushes it off and moves

16:02 on. With the home appearing vacant and

16:06 no immediate signs of foul play, cops

16:08 call it off and leave with the

16:10 impression that the Thatford couple

16:12 likely moved out and simply forgot to

16:14 inform their friend Larry. Unknowingly,

16:17 officers are walking away from the first

16:19 signs that something far more sinister

16:22 is at play.

16:26 The next day, things begin to shift into

16:29 something more serious as police receive

16:32 a second call about Craig. However, this

16:35 one carries more concerning details than

16:37 the last.

16:38 >> Telecommunications on a recorded line.

16:40 How can I help you?

16:41 >> Okay, this is going to seem really,

16:43 really strange. About 4 months ago, my

16:45 grandpa had went off the like face of

16:48 the of the world and he's a volunteer

16:51 firefighter up there. He loves to do it.

16:53 if you talk to me all about it all the

16:54 time. And so I'd like to place a

16:56 wellness check, but the only person that

16:58 said she's talked to him in four months

17:00 is his wife. And apparently now they're

17:02 getting a divorce. He's doing a whole

17:04 bunch of stuff, but I don't I don't

17:06 believe it. It's not my grandpa. It's

17:08 just really strange.

17:09 >> What's his name?

17:10 >> Greg Stford.

17:11 >> And what's your name?

17:12 >> My name is Cody Gibson and I'm his

17:14 grandson. his wife is supposedly in

17:16 Texas getting a divorce.

17:19 >> With yet another welfare check request

17:22 from Craig's grandson, Cody, a clearer

17:24 timeline begins to form. It now sounds

17:27 like Craig hasn't been missing for 2

17:29 months as previously believed by his

17:32 friend. Instead, he hasn't been seen for

17:35 over 4 months, which is even more

17:38 alarming.

17:38 >> That's crazy that it would take cuz it

17:41 seems like this guy had loved ones. Like

17:43 he had a grandson. He had children

17:45 obviously.

17:46 >> Bro, look at Craig. Look, he's a great

17:48 guy. Look at this guy.

17:49 >> Craig's a great guy. Craig will help you

17:51 move. Craig will come over and help you

17:53 lug a couch up the stairs.

17:55 >> Absolutely. Two o'clock in the morning,

17:57 flat tire. Craig's coming with the with

17:59 the the jack.

18:00 >> Yeah. Showing up.

18:01 >> Two o'clock in the morning, you killed a

18:03 hooker. Craig's showing up with his back

18:05 hoe. And guess what? We're gonna we're

18:07 gonna bury the body in the woods up top.

18:10 Like, so it's it's insane to me that it

18:13 took Are we this disconnected from the

18:16 family unit in America that it takes

18:19 four months? That's almost half a year

18:21 to report somebody missing.

18:24 >> Doesn't make any sense to me.

18:26 >> Plus, there's got to be roofs out there

18:27 he didn't complete. Like those those

18:29 people, right? He's a roofer.

18:30 >> Oh, that's right. He has a roofing

18:31 company.

18:32 >> The roofing company. You think the

18:33 employees or something? I don't see

18:34 Craig. He's 60. I don't see him on the

18:36 roof, but All right, let's go.

18:37 >> All right.

18:39 Additionally, the reason no formal

18:41 missing person report was filed starts

18:43 to make sense as Cody goes on to explain

18:46 that his grandfather's wife, Dena

18:48 Thatford, has been telling everyone that

18:51 Craig is in Mexico with another woman

18:53 after filing for divorce.

18:56 >> A story that doesn't sit right with

18:57 Craig's grandson.

18:59 >> What

19:00 >> I said, nice one, Craigie. Yeah,

19:02 >> he's down there.

19:03 >> Following the second call, County

19:06 Sheriff's deputies are dispatched back

19:08 to Craig's house. This time, instead of

19:10 simply knocking and leaving, they widen

19:13 the scope. If Craig and his wife aren't

19:16 inside the house, maybe someone nearby

19:18 has seen or heard something. So,

19:21 deputies begin canvasing the surrounding

19:23 properties. A decision that will quietly

19:25 kickstart an investigation into what may

19:28 become one of the most elaborate and

19:30 twisted homicide cover-ups they've ever

19:33 handled.

19:34 >> Deputy Ventur with the sheriff's office.

19:36 By chance, have you seen your your

19:38 neighbors over?

19:39 >> No, sir. I had. And I I've been really

19:42 worried about him. Okay.

19:43 >> Since January.

19:45 >> And we were real good friends and

19:47 everything. Okay. And we were both on

19:48 the James Canyon Fire Department.

19:50 >> Mhm.

19:50 >> And then come January, it was just no

19:53 contact.

19:54 >> No contact at all. Come January,

19:55 >> I got him. I've been on the I was on the

19:57 James Canyon Fire Department there for

20:00 about 5 and a half years.

20:02 >> And when he moved up here, I talked him

20:04 into it.

20:04 >> Okay.

20:05 >> And I mean, we were real good friends

20:06 and everything.

20:07 >> And then Josh over here, he got on, we

20:09 got him on the fire department. Josh and

20:11 Heidi here would know more information

20:13 about them cuz

20:14 >> Okay.

20:14 >> I know. Uh,

20:16 >> do you know what the the address is over

20:17 there?

20:18 >> It's it's just this this that A-frame

20:20 right there.

20:20 >> This one right here?

20:21 >> Yeah, this one right here.

20:29 >> Hi. Can I help you?

20:30 >> Yes, ma'am. How are you? I'm Deputy Ptor

20:32 with the Turo County Sheriff's Office.

20:33 >> We were looking for Craig Setford.

20:36 >> Yeah, we haven't heard from Craig.

20:39 >> Okay.

20:39 >> Um, we're buying the house from him. He

20:41 was in Breen Ridge taking care of his

20:43 mom.

20:44 >> Okay.

20:44 >> And his wife Dena is my friend.

20:46 >> Um she's in and out from the house down

20:48 there.

20:49 >> Okay.

20:49 >> She hasn't really talked to him either,

20:50 which is weird.

20:51 >> Have you talked to Dena lately?

20:53 >> Mhm.

20:53 >> Yeah.

20:54 >> Yeah.

20:54 >> And have you asked her anything about

20:56 like Craig? How he's

20:57 >> conflicting stories. He's in Breenriidge

20:59 taking care of his mom. We haven't heard

21:01 that.

21:02 >> Uh that's a conflicting story right

21:04 there. And she's saying Dena saying she

21:07 doesn't know where even that's not what

21:09 she's telling other people. So,

21:10 >> and Dena Dena goes on to tell the cops

21:13 that she thinks he's in Texas visiting

21:15 his another family member.

21:18 >> Yeah. Come on, man. Come on.

21:19 >> So, she's feeding she's feeding

21:21 disinformation to all the neighbors. You

21:24 know, Dena, to her credit, she she went

21:27 the extra mile to try to get away with

21:28 it. So, I hope she does. She might

21:31 >> doing or anything like that.

21:32 >> And from what she's telling me, she's

21:34 not talking to him either.

21:36 >> She's Oh, okay. So, are they like not

21:38 together right now? I think they're

21:40 splitting up.

21:40 >> You gota Okay.

21:42 >> Pretty sure that's what's happening.

21:44 >> And when was the last time you saw Dena

21:46 here in the in the area?

21:47 >> Um, it's probably been about 3 weeks

21:50 now.

21:50 >> About 3 weeks.

21:51 >> Yeah.

21:52 >> As far as Heidi knows, Craig and Dena

21:54 are in the middle of separating with

21:56 Craig supposedly staying at his mother's

21:58 house in Texas. That explanation doesn't

22:01 match what Dena told Craig's grandson,

22:03 Cody, who was under the impression that

22:06 his grandfather went to Mexico after

22:07 filing for divorce. To investigate

22:10 further, the deputy asks Heidi for

22:12 Dena's phone number and tries calling

22:14 her, but worryingly, it goes straight to

22:17 voicemail. With no immediate leads,

22:19 officers return to the station. Before

22:21 Deputy Pinter can relay his findings to

22:24 detectives, his phone starts ringing.

22:26 Interestingly, the caller is one of the

22:30 Fatfords.

22:32 >> Hello.

22:32 >> Uh, hi. Uh, missed a phone call.

22:34 >> Yes, ma'am. How are you? This is Deputy

22:36 Pur calling from the county Sheriff's

22:38 Office. I was calling in in reference to

22:40 your husband, Craig. It seems that uh he

22:42 hasn't been in contact with a lot of his

22:45 family and some of his friends,

22:47 >> right? Yeah, we have been separated and

22:52 I recently filed for divorce. Um he's

22:54 kind of he's involved with someone else

22:57 and currently he's in Mexico.

23:00 >> And when was the last time you saw him

23:02 or spoke to him?

23:03 >> Before he left.

23:05 >> Would you have an estimate like you know

23:06 was it like one week, two weeks?

23:09 >> First of the month.

23:10 >> First of the month. And you saw him in

23:11 person, correct?

23:12 >> Yes. Yes, he was packing. Yes.

23:15 >> Where was this at? Was this at your

23:16 residence on Heather?

23:17 >> Yes. He uh has moved out.

23:20 >> And where are you currently staying at?

23:22 I'm at my mom's in Texas. Seymour,

23:24 Texas.

23:25 >> Yeah. Well, I guess let me ask you, are

23:26 you going to permanently be staying at

23:28 Seymour uh Texas? No. Okay.

23:31 >> Until I see what happens in the divorce,

23:34 I'm going to ask for the property.

23:35 >> Okay.

23:36 >> I mean, I don't I don't think he's

23:38 missing.

23:39 >> On the line is Dena Thatford clarifying

23:42 that her husband is actually in Mexico

23:44 with another woman. the same story she

23:47 told Craig's grandson, but different

23:49 from what her neighbor reported.

23:51 Naturally, this drastically complicates

23:54 the investigation as locating a missing

23:57 person in another country is

23:59 exponentially more difficult. But during

24:01 the phone call, Dena also

24:04 >> Dena's saying just because she doesn't

24:06 miss him doesn't mean that he's not

24:08 missing Dena.

24:10 >> So, yeah. Did you say he was missing or

24:13 am I missing him? Yeah, I don't miss

24:16 him.

24:19 >> And he might be missing too, but I sure

24:21 don't. So, it's interesting. Before

24:23 technology,

24:25 if a guy that lived in the mountains

24:27 like Craig Thatford, if you hadn't seen

24:30 him for four months and you heard he had

24:32 skipped to Mexico, you just figured he'd

24:35 be sea fishing, you would accept the

24:37 story,

24:38 >> right? He's having sex with uh dubiously

24:44 young women for money and he's and he's

24:47 yeah he's fishing for for tuna on the

24:51 coast of Baja,

24:54 right? But nowadays it's like it's it's

24:57 he hasn't posted anything on his

24:59 Facebook. He's a boomer. He hasn't taken

25:01 really awful like grainy photos and, you

25:05 know, posted him to his [ __ ] Instagram

25:08 account.

25:10 Nothing on WhatsApp. Nothing. There's no

25:12 excuse anymore.

25:15 >> All right. All right.

25:16 >> By the way, by the way,

25:17 >> it would be Facebook, by the way. It

25:18 wouldn't be Instagram,

25:20 >> of course. But the boomers have tried.

25:22 There has been this boomer movement to

25:24 try to figure out Instagram. I've had

25:26 some ants of mine join Instagram and

25:29 it's one of the worst things that's ever

25:30 happened to me because they watch all my

25:32 stories. They comment on all my posts.

25:34 I'm like, I do filthy comedy.

25:39 You got to stop. You got to stop. Plus,

25:42 I'm say a lot of things about you know

25:44 who small hats. You

25:48 And then they go tell my mom. I have to

25:49 hear about it from my mom. Auntie Sue

25:52 says like you've been kind of spiraling

25:53 out. Shut up.

25:57 >> Auntie Sue are spiraling out. How's your

26:01 mom? My age. She said spiraling out.

26:04 >> She's spiraling. Yes. You know, Auntie

26:06 Sue says you're you've been posting.

26:09 Are you okay? Auntie Sue has been

26:11 watching your Instagram. She's saying

26:13 you've been kind of you've been angry.

26:16 You've been upset lately. Yeah.

26:19 Yeah. I'm upset because she's on

26:21 Instagram

26:22 >> comedy

26:23 >> and not digging her own grave. Okay, go

26:24 ahead.

26:25 >> Goes on to explain that she suspected

26:26 Craig of cheating on her for nearly a

26:29 year before confirming the affair a

26:31 couple of months earlier. Now she's

26:33 staying with her mother in Texas, but

26:35 plans to return to New Mexico and fight

26:37 Craig in court to keep the property for

26:39 herself. The deputy confirms Dena's

26:42 current phone number before ending the

26:44 call. Aside from the inconsistent story

26:46 about Craig's whereabouts, police have

26:48 no reason to believe Dena is hiding

26:50 anything. But that is about to change.

26:54 You

26:54 >> know, I tried to warn Craig. She did

26:56 state if I could kill Craig and get away

26:58 with it, I'd do it.

26:59 >> My mom's crazy. Like, she's tried to

27:01 kill me before.

27:04 >> In the days that follow, Craig Thatford

27:06 is officially

27:07 >> Yeah,

27:08 >> it's Dena's daughter right there.

27:10 >> Yeah, she doesn't have any fans.

27:12 >> Entered into the FBI database as a

27:14 missing person, and the case is assigned

27:16 to Detective Bobby Curtis with the

27:18 district's major crimes unit. As Curtis

27:21 begins digging into the couple's

27:23 >> Yo, Bobby would get it.

27:26 >> If I could double up on Dena and Bobby.

27:30 >> Okay.

27:31 >> In an investigation room, dude.

27:33 >> Go ahead.

27:34 >> And one detail immediately stands out.

27:37 Craig is Dena's fourth husband. She had

27:40 already been married three times before,

27:43 and those relationships seemingly ended

27:45 under troubling circumstances. So Curtis

27:48 decides to call the people who might

27:50 know Dena best, her ex-husbands. And

27:53 what she's about to hear may not just

27:55 explain where Craig is, but also what

27:58 really happened to him.

28:01 >> I got a voicemail from you about an hour

28:03 ago. I guess

28:05 >> I was calling to see if you had a minute

28:07 to talk to me about Dena.

28:10 >> I was married to her 30 years ago. I

28:13 called her demon possessed one time and

28:15 drove her crazy.

28:17 I was told there was possibly a time

28:21 when she had tried to run you over with

28:23 her car.

28:24 >> I would probably say that's more her

28:27 drug addicted or alcohol addicted state

28:31 than she gets that way. And

28:34 that's the the best time to leave her

28:36 alone is when she's that way. So I think

28:39 that's how we we both survived for 10

28:41 years.

28:45 >> Hello.

28:46 >> Hi. Guys, Scotties.

28:48 >> Hi, it's Detective Curtis. First, let's

28:51 go ahead and start with the Why did you

28:53 guys end up getting a divorce?

28:55 >> Cuz she's crazy. She is what they

28:57 classify as a binge drinking alcoholic

29:00 treasure.

29:02 >> Yeah, she assaulted me multiple times,

29:05 broke two pair of glasses, bled up her

29:07 fist, and hit me twice to try to kill

29:09 me.

29:10 >> You know, I was always afraid something

29:12 like this was going to happen because I

29:14 knew she was capable. And then, you

29:16 know, when I when I saw that Craig was

29:18 missing, I immediately called. You know,

29:20 I tried to warn Craig multiple times and

29:22 she did state in front of me and my

29:25 wife. If I could kill Craig and get away

29:27 with it, I'd do it.

29:29 >> That final remark from Scott.

29:32 >> So, this is uh by the way, this is an

29:34 ex-husband, one of her ex-husbands.

29:37 His name's Scott Craighead.

29:39 Dena has a type for sure. It's it's

29:42 white guys with hillbilly accents. and

29:45 and goatees that are either named Scott

29:48 or Craig.

29:49 >> What would Here's the thing. What would

29:51 your ex-girlfriend say about you? Would

29:53 anything like like my my ex-wife would I

29:56 don't have any girlfriends or ex-wives,

29:58 ex-girlfriends or ex-wives that would

30:00 say anything remotely like this.

30:04 >> No, they would say, if I'm being honest,

30:06 they would say, "Oh, he lovebombed me.

30:09 He gaslit me. He I had known him for two

30:12 days and he said, "Let's fly to the

30:14 Bahamas."

30:16 >> Oh, yeah. You see? Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm

30:17 gonna get some narcissist um uh

30:21 manipulative lying cheated on me, but he

30:25 never tried to run me over with the car.

30:27 >> Right. No, no. There's no violence

30:29 whatsoever. It just our entire

30:31 relationship was a fraud.

30:33 >> Yeah. Yeah.

30:35 >> Now, and I will say

30:36 >> I didn't know his name. I dated this

30:38 guy. I dated this guy. I thought his

30:40 name was Carter for [ __ ] 18 months.

30:43 >> I I I went to his room. He had six

30:45 different IDs.

30:47 Turns out he was on the run for the from

30:49 the feds.

30:51 Um I thought he was harmless cuz he was

30:53 5 foot five and a half.

30:55 Um okay. Now, and I just want to point

30:57 out one thing like another old school

31:00 thing was women hitting their husbands.

31:04 This was an old school women beating

31:07 their husbands. This is the problem with

31:10 with women not being hit.

31:13 >> Yeah. Yeah.

31:14 >> Is that they feel no repercussion.

31:16 There's there's no threat of violence

31:18 for them. So they have nothing that

31:21 reigns them in. They don't have the

31:23 instinct that men have where it's like,

31:25 "All right, partner. All right. We're

31:27 good. Hey, we good." Because because we

31:29 don't want to get it. We don't want to

31:30 get in a fight. We want to avoid

31:32 violence.

31:33 Now, I don't really have a solution to

31:35 what I'm saying. You're gonna knock them

31:37 out. They hit you. They hit you. They're

31:39 a feminist. You punch them back. They'll

31:41 knock you out.

31:42 >> I don't think Dena was a feminist as

31:44 much as she was a a drunk psycho [ __ ]

31:48 >> Drunk psycho [ __ ] get knocked out

31:50 when they hit guys. And you know that's

31:52 what happened. That's how you teach them

31:53 a lesson. That's how you say, "Look, yo,

31:54 don't hit me again." Oh, okay. Boom. You

31:56 knock them out and next time she doesn't

31:58 hit you because she's like, "I'll get

31:59 knocked out."

32:00 >> It's like a dog when it bites you, you

32:02 hit it with the hose.

32:03 >> Of course, you you beat the out of the

32:05 dog. I would like to maybe instead of

32:08 maybe we don't say we hit the women

32:09 because we do have a Matt we're trying

32:11 to get the viewers. Okay. 20% 20% 20%.

32:16 Maybe we just say we spray him with a

32:18 hose. You you try to hit me with the

32:20 car. I'm gonna I'm gonna put the hose on

32:22 you.

32:22 >> Mace him. Can I mace him? I have mace.

32:25 >> I think you can mace him. I think at

32:27 that point you're well within your if

32:28 police would be well within their rights

32:31 to mace you or tase you. I think Craig

32:34 would be his rights to

32:36 >> you know I keep a thing of mace

32:38 underneath my my desk at the for the

32:40 podcast studio in case one of these guys

32:42 gets out of line.

32:44 >> I really have I have a can of mace

32:48 >> dude a little crazy. I I all a sudden I

32:50 start I start

32:52 >> shaking it up a little bit on these guys

32:54 about to get maed.

32:55 >> Can you imagine how viral you would go,

32:57 bro? Oh my god. I hope that happens.

33:01 >> He said snitch. Wait, how much he hates

33:04 snitches one too many times.

33:06 >> Yeah,

33:06 >> I'm like, this may go bad.

33:09 >> Hold on a second.

33:11 >> I have nothing, dude. I have no I have

33:14 no security. I have no weapons. I'm a

33:17 sitting duck.

33:18 >> Yeah, you got to get a launcher.

33:22 >> What's a launcher?

33:23 >> It's It's basically like a gun, but

33:25 you're allowed to have them. It It's

33:27 like a huge plet gun that you can shoot.

33:30 It's a non-lethal gun. not leave the

33:32 round.

33:33 >> Oh yeah, they're like 500 bucks, but

33:35 they are they will drop you.

33:37 >> Nice.

33:37 >> Oh, they they'll leave black and blue

33:39 marks on you like this.

33:41 >> Yeah, I would like to do that to my

33:43 producer.

33:45 >> Yeah. Yeah.

33:45 >> When he [ __ ] up, you know.

33:46 >> Yeah. No, I I don't I don't doubt you. I

33:49 mean, I don't I don't You're not wrong.

33:50 No,

33:51 >> I've uh Yeah, I've met him. Oh, one more

33:53 thing. Listen to this. You know that you

33:55 can get your gun rights back now.

33:58 >> Is that true?

33:59 >> Absolutely true. Absolutely true. Are

34:01 you getting yours back, Feland?

34:02 >> I I am going to Jess and I are going to

34:04 go to this lawyer. He's in Orlando. He's

34:06 in Orlando. I have a note. I'm going to

34:09 call him and schedule an appointment. If

34:10 you have a nonviolent uh federal crime,

34:13 well, you have a state crime. You But

34:15 but for feds, used to be you could get

34:17 the your state back. Now, if you have a

34:20 federal crime, you can also get it back.

34:22 >> Is that right?

34:23 >> Yeah. I mean, as long as you didn't

34:24 like, you know, commit home invasion or

34:27 or shoot someone or something. Yeah.

34:29 Yeah. They So, it's been on the books.

34:31 It's been on the books for since like

34:33 the 1980s, but Congress never funded it.

34:36 So, the DEA was not allowed to use their

34:39 funds to process the paperwork. And

34:41 that's how they got around like, oh, we

34:42 p, you know, like the the the House uh

34:45 passed it, but the Senate wouldn't fund

34:46 it.

34:47 >> So, what Trump did was he just signed

34:49 like an executive order saying, "Okay,

34:51 all of these applications will be

34:53 processed by the pardon department,

34:55 which is already funded." And so they're

34:57 doing the first batch of 5,000. You're

35:00 allowed to start you're allowed to start

35:01 sending in your applications on

35:03 September 25th

35:05 >> and they're going to do a batch of 5,000

35:07 I believe in the first month they said

35:09 and then they'll be processing something

35:11 like 500 a month after that.

35:13 >> So I am I'm definitely for that. Um I'm

35:17 not a gun nut. I've never owned a gun,

35:19 but I definitely am pro- Second

35:21 Amendment. If that's the case, if you're

35:24 going to let felons have guns, right,

35:27 non-violent felons, put some

35:29 stipulations around it,

35:30 >> then if a felon gets caught with a gun,

35:34 that can't you can't enhance that.

35:36 >> No.

35:37 >> Like that's the [ __ ] of the federal

35:39 government. And we've talked about this

35:40 on the show. We talked about the Ruby

35:42 Ridge thing. Like,

35:43 >> wait a minute. That's if you get it

35:44 reinstated. If you're a felon and

35:46 haven't had it reinstated, then you can

35:48 get charged without being a felon. I'm

35:50 talking about that's that's [ __ ]

35:52 though. You know what I mean? If they're

35:53 reinstating that's just a technicality

35:56 that shouldn't be Oh, you got an extra 5

35:58 years. [ __ ] that.

36:00 >> I I hear you. I I get it. I'm just

36:01 telling you. Listen, man. I'm just I'm

36:02 just telling you to stop.

36:03 >> You're just a messenger. Fair enough.

36:04 >> Yeah. All right.

36:05 >> Doesn't bode well for the situation.

36:08 Following these statements from Dena's

36:10 ex-husbands, Detective Curtis decides

36:12 >> that's an old picture

36:13 >> to dig further into Scott's claims.

36:16 Turns out Dena worked as a correctional

36:18 officer for nearly 8 years in the early

36:20 2000s. Then in 2008, according to

36:25 >> What a shock. Crazy ass Dena about to be

36:30 uh investigated for killing her husband.

36:32 Drunk [ __ ] Tried to to to kill all of

36:35 her exes. Married four times. Unstable

36:38 psycho. What a shock. She was a cop.

36:43 >> Yeah. For 10 years. Did it say 10 years

36:45 or 10 years ago?

36:46 >> 10 years. She was No, for 10 years in

36:48 the early 2000s, she worked as a a rent

36:51 a cop, a correction,

36:53 >> correctional officer. All right.

36:54 >> This is This is the kind of [ __ ] that

36:56 you [ __ ] that that you've been in there

36:57 long enough, you [ __ ] her good, she

36:59 brings in a balloon for you. Go ahead.

37:01 >> Dena was arrested for allegedly trying

37:03 to stab him while intoxicated, an

37:06 incident that reportedly landed her in

37:08 jail overnight. After that, the couple

37:11 briefly reconciled. But in 2010, Scott

37:14 also alleged that Dena found his pistol

37:16 and chased him while pulling the

37:18 trigger, though the gun was not loaded

37:20 and he survived. As Curtis continues

37:23 reviewing the reports, she notices that

37:25 at various points over the years, Dena's

37:27 daughter Leslie had lived with her and

37:29 Craig. So, one of Curtis's

37:31 co-investigators reaches out to Leslie

37:33 to gain insights into what was happening

37:35 inside that house. When he finally gets

37:37 her on the phone, she shares some

37:39 startling information about her mother.

37:42 >> How are you this morning?

37:43 >> Good as it can be. How are you?

37:45 >> I'm good. So, whenever you were living

37:48 at the house, Leslie, was there domestic

37:51 violence going on in the house? Did your

37:53 mom and dad fight?

37:54 >> Yeah, all the time. My mom is crazy. My

37:57 mom is so crazy. Like, she's tried to

37:59 kill me before. She stabbed one of her

38:02 other husbands. She tried to run my real

38:04 dad over with a car. She had my sister

38:06 hog tied and thrown in a car and like

38:08 shipped off one time.

38:10 >> So was your mom?

38:13 >> Yep.

38:14 >> To everyone pretty much. She I always

38:16 thought she was like possessed like

38:18 demonic like it was so evil that like I

38:21 just couldn't even believe like it was

38:23 real.

38:23 >> Okay. At the time that uh that you were

38:26 there at the house, did your mom and dad

38:28 drink or use drugs? Either one of them.

38:31 >> Yeah, she she's an alcoholic. She's

38:34 always been. She also does other drugs

38:37 and I think she might have poisoned him

38:39 or been trying to poison him or

38:40 something like or like messing with his

38:43 medication or something.

38:45 >> Needless to say, Dena has no friends.

38:49 >> Listen to that resume, dude. Listen to

38:52 that [ __ ] that rap sheet. Tried to

38:55 stab her tried to stab her her current

38:57 husband. Tried to shoot her former

39:00 husband.

39:02 >> Tried to run her husband over. hog tied

39:04 her own daughter.

39:05 >> Yeah, by the way,

39:08 bite back. Do you know how hard it is to

39:10 hog tie somebody?

39:12 >> You need two people to do it minimum.

39:14 >> Say things are starting to sound grim.

39:17 There are now two separate people

39:19 alleging that Craig may be dead and that

39:22 Dena could somehow be involved. With

39:25 this troubling development in mind,

39:27 Detective Curtis moves on to review the

39:29 couple's recent financial activity. And

39:31 this is where things become very

39:33 peculiar. In the last four months, Dena

39:36 appears to have spent hundreds of

39:38 thousands of dollars, including a new

39:40 house and a new car, while also

39:42 potentially helping fund her son's new

39:44 business. With all these findings

39:46 combined, and Dena's shifting story,

39:49 investigators begin to suspect they may

39:51 be dealing with something far more

39:53 serious than a missing person case. And

39:55 the possibility of a concealed homicide

39:57 now sits squarely on the table. But in

40:00 the middle of trying to piece together

40:01 what really happened to Craig,

40:02 detectives receive a tip that his wife

40:05 Dena has returned home and is acting as

40:07 if nothing ever happened.

40:13 >> Hope somebody's home.

40:20 Following this, Deputy Roger Schoolcraft

40:22 is sent to check if Dena returned home

40:24 and can provide any answers. In a few

40:26 seconds, he will come face to face with

40:29 the one person investigators now believe

40:32 may be their prime suspect. That said,

40:35 let's get back to Deputy Roger, who is

40:37 on the verge of hearing a story that may

40:39 explain why Craig truly vanished.

40:44 >> Roger Schoolcraft.

40:46 I mean, talk about a guy on the

40:48 frontier, dude.

40:50 >> Hi. Good morning, Dana.

40:52 >> Yes.

40:53 >> Hi. Good morning. Good morning.

40:58 Hey, I'm doing some I'm Roger. I'm

41:00 sorry. Roger Sport.

41:03 >> Dina.

41:03 >> Yes. I think we met at a base uh

41:05 football game.

41:06 >> Probably did. I'm trying to do some

41:09 followup on uh Craig and I thought maybe

41:13 I can meet with you and maybe you could

41:15 try to kind of help me and give me some

41:16 information. And

41:17 >> Sure.

41:18 >> Can we sit somewhere or come over here?

41:20 >> All right. Kind of chilly.

41:22 >> I'm not open.

41:24 >> Okay. Well, obviously we got some calls

41:27 because people haven't been hearing from

41:29 her or anything. So, you being the wife,

41:31 you might be able to help me.

41:33 >> Well, it's his mom. I talked to his mom.

41:35 >> Oh, really? So, you guys aren't

41:38 >> No, we have been having some issues. Um,

41:44 >> okay.

41:45 >> I guess you would say we're separated.

41:48 >> How long's that been going on?

41:50 >> Um, nothing's legal yet. We just haven't

41:55 been spending any time together since at

41:57 least February.

41:59 >> February. Early February. Late February.

42:01 >> February. Or midFebruary.

42:03 >> Since midFebruary. Things weren't

42:05 working out. So you left. He left. How

42:08 did that

42:08 >> He left? He He told me, well, he first

42:11 went to Texas cuz he was said he needed

42:13 to go help his mom.

42:15 >> So he left here to go help his mom.

42:17 >> That's That was what he said. Yes. Um, I

42:20 I've never really had any reason not to

42:22 not believe what he said.

42:24 >> And that was like the second week of

42:26 February.

42:27 >> You You'll have to bear with me because

42:29 I don't keep track of time.

42:32 >> Even though Dena doesn't keep track of

42:33 time, she does seem to keep track of

42:35 other things like the details

42:37 surrounding Craig's disappearance.

42:40 Within just a few minutes of their

42:41 conversation, Deputy Roger notices that

42:44 Dena slightly adjusts her explanation

42:46 about Craig's whereabouts. now claiming

42:49 that he simply told her what he was

42:50 doing and she had no reason not to

42:53 believe him. But as the pair continue

42:55 rehashing the details, Dena begins to

42:58 visibly sense that Deputy Roger isn't

43:00 convinced. She appears to have no idea

43:03 of the amount of suspicion that's been

43:05 mounting against her. In reality, Dena

43:08 is wellprepared for this moment because

43:10 she's about to present what she believes

43:12 is concrete proof to validate her story

43:15 and put an end to the growing suspicion

43:17 around her.

43:19 >> I've never had a reason to doubt it, but

43:21 I now I do. I mean, I I really I think

43:25 that he has hooked up with some

43:28 youngsters

43:29 that are doing these classes and I think

43:32 he's reliving his youth and he's ready

43:36 for me to get out of the picture.

43:37 >> But where would he be doing that at?

43:40 >> Mexico, I guess. Mexico. But when I

43:43 would come home, I mean, he's been here.

43:46 Um,

43:47 uh, it got to the point where he would

43:50 just leave me a note like that one over

43:53 there.

43:54 >> Now, this there's been several. This is

43:58 this is our communication right here for

44:00 the last two months.

44:02 >> Okay.

44:03 >> And there's been several, but this is

44:05 the Now, this one is from not like two

44:09 weeks ago.

44:11 >> Okay. And you put please this is your

44:12 handwriting and that's his.

44:14 >> Yes. cuz his family's been calling me.

44:16 Where is he? You know, and I'm like, I

44:19 know as much as you do.

44:21 >> You know what?

44:21 >> Where's El Salto?

44:23 >> Mexico.

44:24 >> And he has

44:24 >> You could go to Mexico,

44:27 find somebody, and be like, look, you

44:29 don't know me. I don't know you. I'm

44:32 going to pay you

44:34 a couple hundred dollar. I'm gonna go

44:37 back across the border. I'm going to

44:38 send you texts. You're going to be

44:40 Craig, my husband,

44:42 >> right? and you're just gonna we're going

44:44 to create we're going to get in a fight

44:46 and here's give them the script put it

44:49 through chat GPT on your end figure out

44:52 to get the translation right

44:56 there's things you could do to create

44:58 because I I I actually didn't even

44:59 finish watching the video but there

45:02 there is if you created enough of a

45:06 narrative

45:07 if they can't find the body dude

45:10 >> yeah it's reasonable doubt first of all

45:12 she did did a very just she's just o

45:14 over she did an overwhelmingly bad job

45:17 of creating her alibi and all the things

45:21 that she could have done. She everything

45:23 is based on her word. She has no nothing

45:26 to corroborate anything that she says.

45:29 >> Right. Right.

45:30 >> You know which how she gets [ __ ] up

45:32 with that and they find the body

45:35 >> whole time. So it probably didn't help.

45:37 El Salto or Elsalto is a trophy bass

45:43 fishing.

45:44 >> Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm a big bass

45:46 fisherman, too.

45:47 >> He's I think this would make like the

45:48 third time he's been there.

45:51 >> Even if Deputy Roger tried, he couldn't

45:54 sound fully convinced that Craig

45:56 actually wrote this message, but he

45:58 takes the bait anyway, or at least

46:00 allows Dena to believe her plan is

46:02 unfolding exactly as she intended.

46:05 Conveniently, Dena quickly moves on to

46:07 the next step in her plan. There's

46:10 something downstairs that might help

46:12 clear things up, and she's willing to

46:14 share it off the record.

46:17 >> Can I say something off the record?

46:19 >> Sure.

46:20 >> Um,

46:22 all the money in cash. I can't get in

46:24 the safe, so I can't tell you if he took

46:27 it or if it's there.

46:30 >> All the money.

46:31 >> Mhm.

46:32 >> Why can't you get into the safe? I don't

46:33 have the combinations.

46:35 >> What?

46:35 >> If an officer's wearing a body camera,

46:38 >> it's not off the record.

46:39 >> There's no off the record.

46:41 >> First of all, everything you're saying,

46:43 you know what I'm saying? Like it's this

46:44 is all just statements that you're

46:46 making. There's no off the record. That

46:48 even it doesn't even matter if the

46:49 officer says, "Oh, yeah. Of course. Of

46:51 course."

46:52 >> Officer School Foot, whatever the [ __ ]

46:55 this guy's name is. He's Tommy Lee Jones

46:59 from No Country for Old Men. They don't

47:02 even know what off the record means. So

47:04 if you're in a court and a prosecutor's

47:07 presenting this, the judge could say,

47:09 "Objection." Yeah, but he already said

47:11 it, so it's in the juror's minds,

47:14 >> right?

47:17 >> Was that an issue between the two of

47:18 you? They wouldn't let you have access

47:20 to the safe.

47:21 >> It wasn't an issue with us, but uh it

47:24 was an issue with his first wife.

47:26 >> Well, she was stealing money from him or

47:27 what? Okay, I understand now. And how

47:30 much 1.5 million.

47:33 >> Could you show me where that safe is?

47:35 >> Okay,

47:37 >> that's a substantial amount of money by

47:40 anyone's standards. And Deputy Roger is

47:43 beginning to suspect he may already know

47:45 why Craig suddenly vanished. Even though

47:49 Dena claims she can't access the safe,

47:51 Roger will soon discover that this too

47:54 might not be true. But since Dena

47:56 brought up the money unprompted, Roger

47:59 recognizes an opportunity to dig deeper

48:01 and decides to take it.

48:03 >> I'm sorry.

48:04 >> You got me?

48:05 >> Got a bad knee. I'm apologizing.

48:07 >> Well, we could do

48:09 >> No, it's good.

48:10 >> Ground weight.

48:10 >> No, just getting old.

48:14 >> I feel you.

48:17 >> Holy smokes. Big house.

48:19 >> Yeah, it is

48:20 >> too big for two people.

48:21 >> It's way too big.

48:24 This is the bottom floor here or

48:26 >> Yes.

48:27 >> Okay. I'm sorry. Oh, that's cool.

48:30 >> Right.

48:31 >> Yeah. Good lord, that cost a penny.

48:35 >> Yeah, that was my present. And now I

48:38 don't know if I get to keep it.

48:39 >> Yeah.

48:40 >> This one and this one.

48:42 >> Oh, there's two of them.

48:43 >> Yeah.

48:44 >> So, you don't have the combination for

48:45 either. Say

48:46 >> no.

48:47 >> No. I just

48:49 >> you didn't keep it written down anywhere

48:51 and you know you don't know.

48:54 >> Okay.

48:55 >> As Roger checks the safe, he has no idea

48:58 that he is standing in the very spot

49:01 where Craig's body remained for days

49:04 before it was eventually moved and

49:06 hidden. None of that is apparent in this

49:08 moment, so the two head back upstairs

49:11 after taking a quick look. By this

49:13 point, Roger feels he's heard what he

49:15 came for and then some. But before

49:17 leaving, he decides to share a small

49:19 surprise he's been holding back.

49:21 >> Have you been married before, too? Or

49:23 >> Oh, gosh, yes.

49:24 >> Okay. Oh gosh, yes.

49:26 >> Yes.

49:26 >> Why do you say that?

49:27 >> Well, cuz I used to It seemed to be a

49:29 regular occurrence.

49:30 >> Oh, I'm sorry.

49:31 >> No, no, it's it's I make it a joke. I

49:33 make it a joke. Yeah. I mean, I I just

49:36 It took me a long time to figure out I'm

49:38 the common denominator.

49:40 >> So, um

49:40 >> How many times were you married?

49:42 >> He is my fourth.

49:43 >> Your fourth? Okay.

49:44 >> Yes.

49:45 >> I don't know. Just a little history of

49:46 me. I'm actually a retired police

49:49 officer. Came back to work about two

49:51 years ago. I got bored sitting at home.

49:54 But the vast majority of my career, I

49:56 was I worked in in investigation C

49:59 homicide unit Albuquerque. So that's

50:02 most of my career has been doing that.

50:04 >> Deputy Roger leaves little room for

50:07 doubt, subtly making it clear that he is

50:10 in fact investigating a possible

50:12 homicide. Even though Dena tries to

50:15 appear nonchalant, her face tells a

50:17 different story. She looks visibly

50:20 takenback by the idea that a homicide

50:22 detective is now sitting in her living

50:24 room. And the timing of Roger's reveal

50:27 couldn't have been more deliberate.

50:29 Coming right after Dena seemingly

50:31 acknowledged that she's the common

50:33 denominator in her previous failed

50:35 marriages. With the surprise revealed,

50:38 Roger wraps up the conversation and

50:40 heads out, leaving Dena with a clear

50:42 implication that she may now be a prime

50:44 suspect in the possible homicide of her

50:46 husband, a thought that will soon begin

50:49 to consume her. At the same time, Roger

50:52 walks away with something else he

50:54 believes he identified during the

50:56 hour-long interview. a possible

50:59 financial motive behind Craig's

51:01 disappearance, as well as an even

51:03 stronger suspicion that he may have just

51:06 been speaking with the alleged killer

51:08 herself.

51:09 >> So Craig was

51:10 >> before heading back to the station to

51:12 relay his fight.

51:13 >> Craig was a baller.

51:15 >> Yeah, but I mean they never find that

51:16 money, right? Like when they finally get

51:18 in the safe, it's considerably less

51:20 money. But she's also been blowing m

51:22 blowing through everything. She blew

51:24 through

51:24 >> It's true. She She bought She bought a

51:26 new house, a new car. She blew through

51:28 hundreds of G's in the last couple of

51:30 months,

51:30 >> right? But that's through his bank

51:32 account. We don't know what he did with

51:33 the cash, what she did with the cash.

51:36 >> Wow. Is it possible that Craig was mixed

51:39 up with some illicit activity? What do

51:42 you think?

51:43 >> No. This is just a hardworking guy. He's

51:45 just been working his whole life. He's

51:47 probably got a couple pensions coming

51:48 in. He's still working doing, you know,

51:51 uh

51:52 >> I know there is a lot of money. If you

51:53 have a good roofing business, I know

51:55 those make a shitload of money. Oh yeah.

51:58 >> It's just wild to me like you hear about

52:02 because they always try to tell you

52:04 because you know they're trying to make

52:05 it illegal to have cash. All the

52:07 governments of the West are trying to

52:09 you know get everybody on digital money

52:11 and [ __ ] like that and they're like well

52:13 why do you need why do you need cash?

52:15 What are you some kind of drug dealer?

52:17 But like old school people would just

52:20 keep cash. They don't trust banks. They

52:22 don't trust the currency. endings.

52:24 Roger's relentless instincts get the

52:26 best of him. With more than two decades

52:28 of experience and having handled a case

52:31 with eerily similar circumstances that

52:33 later turned into a homicide, he can't

52:35 shake the feeling that something isn't

52:38 right. So instead of leaving right away,

52:40 he decides to stick around the

52:42 neighborhood and speak with people who

52:44 live nearby. A move that will not only

52:46 fuel Roger's growing suspicions, but

52:48 also reveal some new details police

52:50 hadn't fully heard before.

52:57 How are you doing?

52:57 >> How are you? Roger school. Have we met?

53:00 >> Yeah, I I was at school. You want to go

53:02 here? We can come up here.

53:03 >> Little dog by me.

53:04 >> No, no, no, no, no. Just a good barker.

53:09 >> What do you know anything on the last

53:11 time you saw him or talked to him?

53:13 >> You know, um it's been a while and

53:17 there's some weird stuff going on.

53:19 >> Yeah, for sure. And I'm I I don't want

53:22 to I'm not trying to implicate

53:24 >> right

53:25 >> anybody. From what it sounds like in the

53:27 past, you know, whenever those two get

53:29 like uh when I say those two,

53:32 >> um Craig and Dena, they get together and

53:35 you mix in a little bit of alcohol,

53:37 things get a little bit flammable or can

53:41 be.

53:43 >> And Craig said, "If anything ever

53:44 happens to me, I don't want one of these

53:46 calls." Dana has a combination to the

53:48 safe and I keep a I keep a an envelope

53:52 full of money in it. And this is the

53:53 only way I've been able to have any

53:55 communication with him and I don't even

53:57 know if it's him.

53:59 >> Wonder who he supposedly went fishing to

54:01 Mexico with. See, he had a call like

54:03 this a long time ago. Um, long story

54:05 short, turned into a murder, but she was

54:08 staying in the house 3 weeks after she

54:10 had murdered him and she dug him out in

54:12 the back porch and covered him up with a

54:14 tarp. kind of rings the same deal. Same

54:16 story. All he went on a fishing trip,

54:18 well, he kept not showing up for work

54:19 and people were calling.

54:22 >> So, he's really nowhere to be seen.

54:24 >> No, ma'am. He's nowhere to be found.

54:26 >> Everything we've been told and heard is

54:30 >> I'm not sure how

54:32 >> honest person and I I I want to say

54:34 something else, but I don't want to

54:35 implicate her.

54:36 >> You need to say it. When we first moved

54:38 here, WE WERE JUST HAVING CONVERSATIONS

54:40 and she was

54:41 >> That's how you should say she

54:43 >> That's how you break a suspect right

54:44 there.

54:46 >> That was the husband. That wasn't the

54:47 [ __ ] That wasn't the cop.

54:49 >> Oh, yeah.

54:50 >> That's how you control your woman, boys.

54:52 You need to say it.

54:56 >> Listen, old Roger's a slippery goat

54:58 because you know he already knows. Oh,

55:00 it's her. I just need

55:01 >> He is.

55:02 >> It's She's done. She's done.

55:04 She is a slippery old sea dog, isn't he?

55:07 >> How small is this town? Everybody knows

55:10 this guy. Oh, I know you.

55:12 >> Saw you at the football game.

55:14 >> Yeah, of course. I saw you down there at

55:15 the school one time.

55:17 >> Hey, this this is a way if you want if

55:20 you're out there listening and you're

55:21 trying to figure out how to husband, but

55:23 you know it'll look too obvious. This is

55:26 especially if you live up there in the

55:27 middle of nowhere and and everybody

55:30 knows you guys as volatile drunks,

55:33 right? Because this this very well could

55:35 have been them fighting and she gets a

55:39 knife and stabs him or shoots him,

55:41 right? Something like that. What you do

55:44 is you just set it up after you kill

55:46 him. You squeeze the trigger.

55:49 None of this is going to work. She's way

55:50 too stupid and drunk. But make it look

55:53 like like injure yourself and make it

55:55 look like self-defense. If you're a

55:57 lady, dude, nine out of 10 juries, I

56:00 mean, Lindsey Clancy and what we is not

56:02 helping, but nine out of 10 juries are

56:05 going to believe a lady and you might

56:06 walk.

56:07 >> Yeah. Yeah.

56:08 >> You know,

56:09 >> Yeah. There's a struggle with the gun.

56:11 He pulled a gun.

56:12 >> He pulled a He pulled a gun. We both had

56:14 guns. Yes. We were drinking. Yes. We got

56:16 in a fight. He hit me. I hit him back.

56:20 It escalated.

56:21 you know, but this is just too obvious.

56:25 >> All right, but she was like, if it

56:27 happened, you know, I'd be okay with it

56:30 coming to that effect.

56:33 >> By now, the pattern is becoming

56:35 impossible to ignore, and it seems like

56:38 everyone familiar with the couple is

56:40 thinking the same thing. They're just

56:42 hesitant to say it out loud. Notably,

56:45 Craig's firefighter friend Thomas also

56:47 reveals that Craig told him Dena has the

56:49 combination to this safe, directly

56:51 contradicting Dena's claims earlier when

56:54 she claimed she had no way of accessing

56:55 the money inside the safe. Roger records

56:58 these statements and eventually heads

57:00 back to the station to speak with the

57:01 lead detective, Curtis, to determine

57:03 their next steps. Even though

57:05 investigators are now strongly

57:06 considering the possibility of homicide,

57:09 they still lack physical evidence of

57:11 foul play or Craig's body, at least for

57:14 the time being.

57:18 5 days after his initial visit, Deputy

57:21 Roger returns to the Thatford's house to

57:23 follow up with Dena. They still haven't

57:25 been able to reach Craig, and the

57:27 situation is looking increasingly grim.

57:30 But this time, something different

57:32 awaits Roger. As he arrives and steps

57:35 out of his car, he notices something

57:37 unsettling on the ground.

57:39 >> Uhoh.

57:59 >> Good morning.

58:00 >> Come on in.

58:00 >> How are you?

58:01 >> Good. How are you?

58:02 >> Good. Good.

58:03 >> I was about to make some coffee.

58:05 >> I'll take some coffee. What are you

58:07 putting in the ground?

58:08 >> I'm not drinking anything this woman

58:10 makes.

58:11 >> I'm not putting in the ground. I was

58:13 trying.

58:13 >> Right.

58:16 >> No.

58:17 >> To flatten it. I'mma roll those rocks

58:19 back in there.

58:21 >> Oh, I saw that metal thing. I thought

58:23 maybe it was some kind of a

58:25 >> Oh, she's digging

58:26 >> Yeah, she's digging a grave. Absolutely.

58:29 >> She just told on herself right there.

58:31 No, no, no. I was trying to flatten it

58:32 from when I dug it up.

58:34 >> Yeah.

58:34 >> Put my husband in there.

58:38 >> It's an above ground gardening.

58:41 >> Oh, yeah. Yeah.

58:42 >> Roger treats the discovery lightly, even

58:44 joking about the massive hole Dena dug

58:46 outside, but he'll soon find out that

58:49 he's been unknowingly walking right over

58:52 the truth this whole time.

58:54 >> Was he close to? Was he close to any of

58:56 the females at all?

58:58 >> He's nice to everybody. I mean,

59:00 everybody adores him.

59:01 >> Yeah.

59:02 >> You know, we were going to church and

59:05 >> uh everybody just loves him and the

59:08 neighbors, he would do anything for

59:10 anybody.

59:11 >> So, none of these neighbors had a gripe

59:13 with him or an issue with him.

59:16 >> Sounds like he needs killing.

59:18 >> [ __ ] psycho.

59:20 By the way, it's always it's always the

59:24 dead guy who before he got killed by his

59:27 wife told his buddy, "Hey, if she does

59:30 something to me, she's got the keys to

59:32 the safe. It's for my money. She knows

59:35 where it all is. Leave then."

59:37 >> Yeah, I was going to say if I have to

59:38 say that, I'm just leaving. If I have to

59:41 even think, hey, this just this chick

59:43 may kill me. I'm just I'm gone. Yeah.

59:45 Chicken around. Listen, how good how

59:47 good has that [ __ ] got to be for me to

59:49 stick around to risk it? It's worth

59:51 risk. Like, come on. She's an old broad.

59:53 >> That mouth must be like a [ __ ] like a

59:56 vacuum cleaner sucking a golf ball

59:58 through a garden hose, dude.

1:00:01 >> It's just so unusual. Somebody just

1:00:02 completely just completely pop off the

1:00:04 radar. Just poof, they're gone. Well,

1:00:07 it's a it's a mystery. I just keep

1:00:10 thinking he's maybe got an enemy that

1:00:12 we're not aware of or somebody that had

1:00:14 felt like they had something to gain.

1:00:16 >> I think, you know, if I had just left

1:00:18 when he told me to, then none of this

1:00:20 would have happened.

1:00:21 >> With this statement coming directly from

1:00:24 Dena, she has effectively pointed the

1:00:26 finger at herself. Whether she realizes

1:00:29 it or not remains to be seen. With the

1:00:31 remainder of the conversation yielding

1:00:33 no new leads, Roger wraps up his second

1:00:35 visit and heads out, still empty-handed.

1:00:38 But as he leaves the property, Roger has

1:00:40 no idea that this might be the last time

1:00:43 he ever sees Dena alive.

1:00:49 In the following weeks, things begin to

1:00:52 escalate dramatically as Dena appears to

1:00:55 have vanished. Any phone calls from

1:00:58 detectives went straight to voicemail

1:00:59 and police were unable to locate her.

1:01:02 Investigators also caught wind of rumors

1:01:04 alleging Dena was talking about fleeing

1:01:06 to Jamaica or taking her own life.

1:01:10 However, there's a huge development

1:01:12 that's about to happen today because

1:01:14 sometime in the afternoon, an old

1:01:17 co-orker of Dena from her prison job

1:01:19 calls lead detective Curtis with an

1:01:21 explosive tip.

1:01:23 >> Hello.

1:01:24 >> Hi. Is this Andrew?

1:01:25 >> Yes, ma'am.

1:01:26 >> This is Detective Curtis with the Otto

1:01:28 County Sheriff's Office. I had a message

1:01:29 that you had called.

1:01:30 >> Yes, ma'am.

1:01:32 All right. What can I help you with,

1:01:33 sir?

1:01:34 >> I recently got in touch with an old

1:01:36 friend of mine. She was married to that

1:01:38 dude. Apparently, she said she said she

1:01:40 shotty. I don't I don't I have a

1:01:42 conscience and I can't I couldn't just

1:01:45 not say nothing.

1:01:46 >> Can you tell me uh her name?

1:01:48 >> There's his wife.

1:01:50 >> Did she tell you when?

1:01:52 >> No. No, ma'am. I I don't have a I don't

1:01:54 know none of the pictures. What everyone

1:01:57 has been anticipating this entire time

1:01:59 has finally come to fruition. Seemingly

1:02:02 straight from Dena herself, according to

1:02:05 her old friend Andrew. However, without

1:02:08 a body or hard evidence, Detective

1:02:10 Curtis can't obtain an arrest warrant or

1:02:12 press any charges. But not long after

1:02:15 this call, another development takes

1:02:17 place. This time, police catch wind that

1:02:20 Dena was at her mother's house in Texas

1:02:22 and attempted to take her own life.

1:02:24 Detective Curtis realizes how quickly

1:02:26 and dangerously the situation is

1:02:28 escalating. If Dena manages to flee, or

1:02:32 worse yet, takes life, they may never

1:02:35 find Craig's body, and the case is

1:02:37 doomed to go cold.

1:02:40 With that possibility looming over the

1:02:42 case, Curtis decides to act fast. She

1:02:45 obtains a search warrant for Craig's

1:02:46 house and begins coordinating with the

1:02:48 major crimes unit to execute the search,

1:02:50 find Dena, and more importantly uncover

1:02:53 Craig's body. As coordination is

1:02:55 underway, Curtis sends a group of

1:02:57 detectives and heads out to Dena's

1:02:58 mother's residence. She needs to figure

1:03:01 out why Dena is trying to herself.

1:03:04 >> Watch this get stuck in here.

1:03:09 >> Hi, Mary. I'm Detective Curtis with the

1:03:10 Sheriff's Office in New Mexico. Is it

1:03:12 okay if we come in?

1:03:13 >> Sure.

1:03:15 I understand that uh these guys updated

1:03:18 you on why we're all here.

1:03:21 >> Yes.

1:03:22 >> Okay. We're hoping that maybe we could

1:03:24 talk to you a little bit about

1:03:26 everything that's going on if that's all

1:03:28 right.

1:03:29 >> Dina trying to take her

1:03:31 >> Did Did Dina tell you why she wanted to

1:03:33 take

1:03:35 >> No.

1:03:36 >> No. Did she have a method she was

1:03:38 planning on using?

1:03:40 >> I don't know.

1:03:41 >> She doesn't say that. I knew she was

1:03:44 real depressed,

1:03:49 but

1:03:51 I didn't expect any of this.

1:03:57 But how long has she been back here?

1:04:02 She She started coming back

1:04:08 off and on. I think it was maybe I'm not

1:04:11 sure. Dena's mother is visibly shaken by

1:04:14 the thought of her daughter harming

1:04:16 herself, but she can't explain why Dena

1:04:19 would take such drastic action.

1:04:20 Detective Curtis wraps up the interview

1:04:22 and gathers possible addresses for

1:04:24 Dena's acquaintances, hotels, and

1:04:26 hospitals where she might be. They need

1:04:28 to find her before she can do something

1:04:30 irreversible.

1:04:32 Hours later, back in New Mexico, the

1:04:34 major crimes unit is briefed, and the

1:04:36 coordination is in full effect.

1:04:38 Detective Curtis and Deputy Roger, along

1:04:40 with a group of officers, make their way

1:04:42 to the That The That The That The That

1:04:42 The That The That The That The That The

1:04:42 That The That The That Theford property,

1:04:44 hoping to find at least one of the two

1:04:45 alive.

1:04:58 >> Sheriff's Office.

1:05:05 >> Is there a code spot?

1:05:07 >> No.

1:05:08 Let me check these other doors.

1:05:12 >> No,

1:05:15 >> this one's already been forced.

1:05:17 >> It's already been what?

1:05:19 >> Huh?

1:05:20 >> After circling around the exterior of

1:05:22 the top floor, deputies discover one of

1:05:24 the front doors is suspiciously

1:05:26 unlocked, suggesting Dena may be

1:05:28 somewhere inside. Officers decide to

1:05:31 conduct an initial sweep for potential

1:05:32 threats. Given Dena's violent past, her

1:05:35 prison officer background, and the

1:05:37 murder allegations hanging over her,

1:05:39 deputies can't be too careful. One of

1:05:41 the deputies has a code for the garage

1:05:43 door downstairs. And that's where they

1:05:45 decide to make their entry

1:05:46 >> through the garage.

1:05:50 >> That door's

1:05:52 >> sheriff's office.

1:05:59 Where? It's

1:06:00 >> locked.

1:06:04 There stairs there.

1:06:06 >> There's two door to the left.

1:06:08 >> Two doors.

1:06:12 >> Open this

1:06:13 >> stairs. I got stairs.

1:06:16 >> Was it

1:06:18 >> you got stairs? If

1:06:19 >> you want So there's another door on this

1:06:20 other side. You want to check that door

1:06:22 and I'll stairs.

1:06:37 I got another door

1:06:39 >> behind you.

1:06:46 >> I got another door.

1:06:50 >> Blue.

1:06:50 >> Oh,

1:06:51 >> blue.

1:06:53 >> Good.

1:06:53 >> Yep. Back around.

1:06:56 >> After clearing the basement, officers

1:06:58 spot Craig's safe that's supposedly

1:07:00 holding $1.5 million in savings. A

1:07:03 locksmith quickly gets to work on

1:07:05 unlocking the safe while deputies head

1:07:07 upstairs to continue sweeping the house,

1:07:09 where they'll soon find their first

1:07:11 clues of foul play.

1:07:36 clear.

1:07:37 >> Call clear.

1:07:39 >> I already checked the bedroom here in

1:07:40 the bathroom in the closet.

1:07:43 >> As police finish sweeping the house,

1:07:45 they begin to notice multiple clues that

1:07:47 suggest a violent event and subsequent

1:07:50 cleanup. Multiple bottles of bleach

1:07:52 scattered throughout the house, a

1:07:54 surveillance system that appears to have

1:07:56 been physically disabled, and various

1:07:58 areas showing signs of cleaning. But

1:08:00 with no sign of Dena or Craig's body in

1:08:02 the main house, deputies move outside to

1:08:05 check the outuildings. Starting with

1:08:06 Craig's man cave.

1:08:11 >> This one

1:08:11 >> manave

1:08:26 SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

1:08:28 SEARCH WAR.

1:08:31 >> Looks like you have an upstairs.

1:08:34 Small

1:08:37 room. Got a door.

1:08:44 >> Small room coming out.

1:08:46 >> Okay.

1:08:46 >> Small room.

1:08:49 >> Light it up.

1:08:51 >> Clear.

1:08:51 >> Clear.

1:08:54 >> So, I'm looking to see if there's any

1:08:56 cameras and see.

1:08:59 >> There's cameras on the back side of this

1:09:01 house.

1:09:02 >> Yeah.

1:09:03 come and take you.

1:09:04 >> Good.

1:09:06 >> I'm sure she destroyed it if there was

1:09:08 any.

1:09:10 >> Craig's got a Oh, dude. I just love

1:09:13 whatever this is. Middle America.

1:09:15 Craig's got an AK-47

1:09:18 banner on his wall and underneath it

1:09:19 says, "Come and take it. Come and take

1:09:23 her." By the way, how good are the

1:09:25 boomers doing? How good have they done?

1:09:28 Every time they go to interview somebody

1:09:31 over 65, they're just living. Nobody's

1:09:34 working anymore. They got all these

1:09:37 toys. Huge property. Huge property. No

1:09:40 kids.

1:09:42 Tons of stuff. Like they were they were

1:09:44 the most materialistic generation.

1:09:46 >> Oh my god. Will you stop?

1:09:48 >> And yet they're they're depressingly

1:09:50 they're they're depressed alcoholics

1:09:52 murdering each other.

1:09:54 >> God, the world will be a better place

1:09:56 than the last of them. There's they have

1:09:57 plenty of kids and and it looks like he

1:10:00 worked very hard and deserves everything

1:10:02 he's got. Let's move on.

1:10:04 >> That's inconsequential. Deserves

1:10:06 everything he got, Matt. Do we deserve

1:10:08 everything we have or is that just how

1:10:10 the the cookie crumbled? Is that just

1:10:12 the way that it shook out? Go ahead.

1:10:18 >> Is that dirt or is that blood?

1:10:25 As deputies continue their search, they

1:10:27 also find a table saw with possible

1:10:29 blood traces as well as suspected

1:10:31 splatter in the workshop area. But

1:10:34 still, no human body or remains

1:10:36 anywhere. In the meantime, back in the

1:10:39 basement of the main house, the

1:10:41 locksmith is seconds away from opening

1:10:43 Craig's safe and confirming something

1:10:45 Deputy Roger had suspected all along.

1:10:53 Let me get a photographer.

1:10:55 >> Where do you guys want us?

1:10:59 >> Camera.

1:11:00 >> We can get out of here for a minute if

1:11:02 you'd like.

1:11:02 >> No, you're good.

1:11:04 >> Bunch of hammer.

1:11:10 >> Holy smokes.

1:11:12 >> Kimber is missing.

1:11:13 >> I don't want to destroy this. Probably

1:11:15 not.

1:11:19 >> Looks like it was 42.

1:11:24 >> Okay.

1:11:25 >> 4200.

1:11:26 >> Okay.

1:11:28 >> She missed it.

1:11:31 >> Yeah.

1:11:31 >> 10,000 4200

1:11:34 70,000

1:11:36 >> 84,200

1:11:38 right here.

1:11:41 The total amount Deputy Roger counts is

1:11:43 far less than the $1.5 million Deanna

1:11:47 had told him was inside just a few weeks

1:11:49 ago. The missing money further supports

1:11:51 investigators speculations that Craig's

1:11:54 been dead for a while and that his wife

1:11:56 has been burning through his money.

1:11:58 >> As some as someone who's had cops

1:12:01 drilling open their safe in front of

1:12:02 them,

1:12:04 getting flashbacks right now, this

1:12:06 hurts.

1:12:08 But no, she straight up blew through.

1:12:10 Like that just shows you how quick you

1:12:12 can spend a million dollars if you're

1:12:14 motivated.

1:12:16 >> It's been six months, right? For the at

1:12:18 least three to four months. I mean, some

1:12:20 if she's blowing through the money in

1:12:22 the bank account, she's probably also

1:12:24 blowing through the same amount of money

1:12:25 in cash. Probably just handing out C. I

1:12:28 mean, people that are this kind of

1:12:29 bipolar.

1:12:30 >> Yeah.

1:12:31 >> You know, they they they want to be a

1:12:33 big shot. And she's probably giving

1:12:34 everybody she knows cash. Or kids. She's

1:12:37 got multiple kids. She's giving She's

1:12:39 got friends. Oh, you need some money.

1:12:41 She's giving them cash. You know, she

1:12:43 also probably knows it's coming down

1:12:45 >> for sure. That is a symptom. We've

1:12:48 talked about bipolar disorder and

1:12:51 schizophrenia.

1:12:52 That is one of the symptoms. My buddy

1:12:54 Zach,

1:12:56 whenever he's off his rocker, whenever

1:12:58 he's off his meds every couple, you

1:12:59 know, four, five, six years, the guy is

1:13:02 like running up the credit cards. I

1:13:05 mean, it's like an addiction. It's just

1:13:07 he ran he had a fully furnished house

1:13:11 >> and he still went to rent a center and

1:13:13 rented a brand new like living room set.

1:13:18 Hilarious. They just love spending

1:13:19 money. So yeah, this broad knew it was

1:13:21 the end. This is how a person who's

1:13:25 who's approaching the end axe, which I

1:13:27 which I approve of.

1:13:29 >> Buried somewhere beyond the property,

1:13:31 finding him could take months or longer.

1:13:34 What officers don't yet realize is that

1:13:37 Craig's body has been hidden in plain

1:13:39 sight the entire time.

1:13:45 As the search continues, a detective

1:13:47 back at the police station gets a call

1:13:49 from someone all too familiar with Dena,

1:13:51 her daughter Leslie. The last time the

1:13:54 detective spoke with Leslie, she

1:13:56 revealed startling allegations about her

1:13:58 mother's behavior during the time they

1:14:00 lived together. This time, however,

1:14:02 Leslie has critical information to

1:14:04 share. Details she and her siblings

1:14:07 supposedly knew for a while, but she's

1:14:10 the one who finally decided to talk.

1:14:12 >> Randy, it's Lizzie and I have Lesie on

1:14:14 the line. So, I told her that I had kind

1:14:16 of filled you in, but I was going to let

1:14:18 you ask her any questions you can ask.

1:14:20 >> Okay. Hi, Leslie. How are you this

1:14:21 morning?

1:14:22 >> Oh, you know,

1:14:24 >> hanging in there?

1:14:25 >> Yeah.

1:14:26 >> Well, good. So Leslie, can you tell me

1:14:29 what your mom told you?

1:14:31 >> It was just like everyone was being so

1:14:33 weird and I knew something was going on

1:14:35 but nobody would tell me anything. Well,

1:14:36 long story short, she came she said she

1:14:39 was going to and then she came to see me

1:14:42 one last time and she wanted to see my

1:14:44 son, her grandson one last time and then

1:14:46 she told me what happened.

1:14:47 >> What did she tell you happened? that

1:14:50 Craig pushed her down the stairs and she

1:14:53 shot him and he fell into the pool room.

1:14:57 She left him laying there on the floor

1:15:00 for like a day, two days and a half. And

1:15:02 then she wrapped him up, I don't know,

1:15:05 rug, plastic wrap and stuff. And then

1:15:08 they tied that up with a tractor and

1:15:11 they moved him with the tractor to the

1:15:14 carport

1:15:15 >> and there's two carports over there. And

1:15:18 I kind

1:15:19 >> Who's they

1:15:20 >> exactly? Who is they? I hope they

1:15:23 address that. Also, as I said,

1:15:27 she could have got off on that if what

1:15:30 she's saying is true. If he pushed her

1:15:32 down the stairs and she drew on him and

1:15:34 shot him, I mean,

1:15:36 >> I mean, that's a defense, but it it

1:15:38 doesn't it you know, it it's a defense,

1:15:40 but if that's the case, then why didn't

1:15:41 you just call the police? You should

1:15:43 have you you if you were

1:15:44 >> so far up there, you're you're so far

1:15:46 out in in the middle of nowhere, it it

1:15:48 takes the cops half an hour, 45 minutes

1:15:50 to get to you,

1:15:51 >> right? But once you shot him, you call

1:15:53 the police. He pushed me down the

1:15:55 stairs. I got hurt. I was laying at the

1:15:56 bottom of the stairs. He was coming

1:15:58 down. I thought he was going to kill me.

1:15:59 I pulled my gun. I shot him. Like, if

1:16:00 that's the truth, then there's going to

1:16:02 be evidence of that.

1:16:04 >> For sure. Yeah. Yeah.

1:16:07 >> I agree. If she wasn't so dumb, she

1:16:09 could have made it look she, you know,

1:16:11 she could have, I don't know, stabbed

1:16:13 herself,

1:16:14 >> something. But the daughter's not that

1:16:17 the daughter's not that bright. You can

1:16:18 tell.

1:16:19 >> No, no, no. None of these people will be

1:16:21 uh cracking the atom will be getting us

1:16:25 to Mars, if you know what I mean.

1:16:27 >> I have a feeling that he's probably in

1:16:29 the one by the bunk house where he used

1:16:31 to park like underneath the tractor or

1:16:34 like something parked on top of him.

1:16:36 Like it might be like they might have

1:16:38 dug like a little hole or something.

1:16:39 It's like a hidden in plain sight type

1:16:41 thing.

1:16:42 >> So why do you think your mom called you?

1:16:44 >> Well, I was the last one to find out. My

1:16:47 other siblings had already known for a

1:16:50 long time. She said she wanted to like

1:16:52 unbburden herself. All my siblings and

1:16:54 everybody was acting so weird. Then my

1:16:57 sister was crying and everything and she

1:16:58 asked me to come to her house to see

1:17:00 her. So I went to her house. And then

1:17:03 after I got back from there, like

1:17:05 everyone cut contact off with me and I

1:17:09 haven't talked to them since then. And

1:17:11 just like that, Leslie seemingly cracks

1:17:14 the case, giving investigators the

1:17:16 breakthrough they've been looking for.

1:17:18 The deputies back at the residence are

1:17:21 informed that Craig's body is hidden on

1:17:23 the property. Based on Leslie's tip,

1:17:26 they move to conduct a thorough search

1:17:28 of the detached metal carport west of

1:17:30 the house, where investigators will

1:17:32 discover that the truth has been hidden

1:17:34 in plain sight all along.

1:17:38 In the carport next to the tractor,

1:17:41 officers spot a large pile of cardboard

1:17:43 boxes, rugs, soil bags, and other items

1:17:47 stacked to hide something underneath. As

1:17:50 they clear the pile, black plastic

1:17:52 sheets become visible, and inside they

1:17:55 discover a human body concealed beneath

1:17:58 materials to hide the foul odor. After

1:18:01 transporting the body for an autopsy,

1:18:03 doctors estimated it's been deceased for

1:18:05 weeks to months, consistent with a

1:18:08 January killing.

1:18:10 >> So, she didn't even bury him.

1:18:12 >> No. Yeah. I mean, you had a you have the

1:18:15 that backhoe the the you have all this

1:18:18 stuff. You could dig a hole. You clearly

1:18:20 can dig a hole and you couldn't you

1:18:22 couldn't throw his body in the hole and

1:18:24 cover it up. I mean, you had months and

1:18:26 months before anybody even knew he was

1:18:29 deceased.

1:18:30 >> Yeah. You lazy [ __ ]

1:18:33 >> You lazy [ __ ] redneck living off a

1:18:35 pension. You could have drugg him,

1:18:39 you know, a hundred yards up the hill

1:18:43 and let the let the mountain lions eat

1:18:45 him.

1:18:46 >> Yeah. Anything. Anything. Instead,

1:18:48 you're you're Yeah. This woman's just

1:18:50 stupid.

1:18:51 >> Hey, man.

1:18:52 >> And and she's got the tractor. So,

1:18:54 right. Like she's got the tractor where

1:18:56 she just she can put him in a wrap him

1:18:59 up in a bag, tie something around his

1:19:01 legs. Like if you're like, "Oh, well she

1:19:02 he was heavy." Doesn't matter. You tie

1:19:04 something around and back the track uh a

1:19:06 rope around his feet and connect it to

1:19:10 the tractor and back the tractor. The

1:19:12 tractor will drag him out of the house.

1:19:14 The tractor will drag him into the hole

1:19:16 you've dug. You don't even have to lift

1:19:18 him up.

1:19:19 >> No. No. Uh, so many ways she could have

1:19:22 done this.

1:19:23 >> Instead, she's just going and visiting

1:19:26 the grandkids.

1:19:27 >> I'm sure

1:19:28 >> spending spending money.

1:19:30 >> Yeah.

1:19:30 >> Three or four gunshot wounds are found

1:19:32 on the left side, including one through

1:19:34 the heart, classifying the death as

1:19:37 humped. After using fingerprints, the

1:19:40 body is positively identified as Craig

1:19:43 Thatford.

1:19:44 >> So, three to the three to the chest.

1:19:47 Dude, it's hard to convince a jury that

1:19:51 that was in the in the panic of being

1:19:54 pushed down the stairs and assaulted by

1:19:56 your drunk husband. Oh, I squeezed one

1:19:59 perfectly through the heart

1:20:02 and then I hit him again. No, it sounds

1:20:04 like she probably stood over him and

1:20:07 shot him two more times, doesn't it?

1:20:10 >> I don't know. She She She wanted him

1:20:12 dead. That's for sure. She wasn't trying

1:20:14 to scare him. No, this wasn't like a

1:20:17 self-defree

1:20:18 to the chest is too convenient. That's

1:20:20 not a self-defense. Those aren't

1:20:22 self-defense hits.

1:20:24 >> Yeah. Just wanted him to go away. Leave

1:20:27 me alone.

1:20:28 >> An arrest warrant is officially issued

1:20:30 for Dena. And multiple units in both New

1:20:33 Mexico and Texas are informed to be on

1:20:35 the lookout for her. A few hours into

1:20:38 the search, officers in Texas receive

1:20:40 information from Dena's mother, Mary.

1:20:42 She tells them that Dena is at Red River

1:20:44 Hospital. Officers quickly arrive at the

1:20:47 hospital where they find

1:20:48 >> no friends

1:20:49 >> and Dena alive and unharmed. She's taken

1:20:52 into custody without incident.

1:20:54 >> What's up, girl?

1:20:55 >> As she's transported to the station for

1:20:57 questioning, Dena remains calm and

1:20:59 cordial, almost as if she's been

1:21:01 expecting this moment for months.

1:21:03 Detective Curtis now has a body and what

1:21:06 she believes enough evidence to pursue

1:21:08 homicide charges. But there's one final

1:21:11 question she doesn't have an answer to

1:21:13 yet. Why was Craig truly killed?

1:21:17 >> William, the district attorney's office

1:21:19 out in New Mexico.

1:21:20 >> Sorry.

1:21:20 >> I'm Detective Curtis with the County

1:21:22 Police Sheriff's Office.

1:21:26 >> Don't [ __ ] with camera recording

1:21:28 started.

1:21:30 >> So, I'm sure you understand why we're

1:21:32 all here.

1:21:33 >> Yes.

1:21:34 >> Did you get a copy of your arrest

1:21:36 warrant yesterday?

1:21:37 >> I haven't gotten a copy yet.

1:21:39 >> Okay.

1:21:40 >> Anything by anybody anywhere.

1:21:43 >> Okay. And I'm just gonna tell you right

1:21:44 now, I'm gonna need a lawyer.

1:21:46 >> Okay, next.

1:21:47 >> That's what's up, girl.

1:21:48 >> Okay,

1:21:49 >> this is my plan because I don't know any

1:21:50 better any other way.

1:21:54 >> I don't either, unfortunately.

1:21:58 >> They don't let me get very close.

1:22:01 >> As fate would have it, Detective Curtis

1:22:04 won't get the answer she hoped for as

1:22:06 Dena invokes her right to a lawyer,

1:22:08 effectively ending the interview.

1:22:11 Following this, Dena is booked into jail

1:22:13 without bond for first-degree murder and

1:22:15 tampering with evidence. And while the

1:22:18 why of Craig's death remains unanswered,

1:22:20 the investigation continues. In the

1:22:23 following weeks, detectives and

1:22:25 prosecutors gather their evidence and

1:22:27 build a classic circumstantial homicide

1:22:29 case, alleging Dena intentionally shot

1:22:31 Craig multiple times inside the house,

1:22:34 moved and hid his body, lied repeatedly

1:22:36 about his whereabouts, and looted shared

1:22:39 assets. Prosecutors believe what they

1:22:41 have will lead to a conviction with the

1:22:44 main open question being whether the

1:22:45 jury finds first-degree murder or a

1:22:48 lesser homicide charge. As of March

1:22:50 2026, Denaford's case is still in the

1:22:53 pre-trial phase and she remains innocent

1:22:56 until proven guilty in court. She faces

1:22:59 life in prison with the possibility of

1:23:01 parole after 30 years if convicted of

1:23:03 first-degree murder or 18 years if

1:23:05 convicted of seconddegree murder plus

1:23:07 additional time for the tampering

1:23:09 charge.

1:23:10 >> There you go, Matthew. Can we look up to

1:23:12 see if this has been adjudicated?

1:23:15 >> Can you look up?

1:23:16 >> Nice, dude. You're on it.

1:23:18 >> What was the name? Fedford.

1:23:20 >> Dena Fedford. She even took She even

1:23:24 took her man's last name even though he

1:23:26 was hubby number four.

1:23:28 She still changed her name. That's a old

1:23:31 school [ __ ] That's a down ass That's a

1:23:33 down ass chick, dude.

1:23:36 >> So, she uh New Mexico was sentenced in

1:23:39 to spend more than 20 years behind bars.

1:23:42 She was sentenced to 20 years. She

1:23:44 admitted to killing her husband whose

1:23:46 body was found wrapped in a pla in

1:23:48 plastic in the couple's carport.

1:23:52 >> Interesting. Okay. So, she ended up

1:23:53 taking a plea.

1:23:55 >> Yeah.

1:23:56 >> Wow. So there you have it. Okay, I think

1:23:58 we just figured it out. Ladies, if

1:24:01 you've got any action, if it is a

1:24:03 circumstantial

1:24:05 case, if you have killed your husband,

1:24:07 but they don't have absolute proof,

1:24:12 they'll give you a plea deal.

1:24:15 >> The DA does not want to go in there and

1:24:17 risk losing, even if it's only a 10%

1:24:19 chance. Matt, I need you here, dude.

1:24:21 >> I know. I'm looking because I'm I'm

1:24:23 looking to see it. It does say 20 years,

1:24:26 but I saw something else that said

1:24:28 like something about there was an

1:24:30 additional 15 years, but I can't read

1:24:33 the article. Either way, uh, she mad

1:24:36 your eyes are. Somebody else sentenced

1:24:38 to 18 years. Plead guilty. She was

1:24:40 sentenced to 18 years. So, I got 20 and

1:24:43 18. I don't know which is what. Listen,

1:24:45 she's she she's an old broad. She's

1:24:47 probably dying in prison. She might be

1:24:48 out when she's like 70 or early 80s, but

1:24:51 you don't last a long time in prison.

1:24:53 So, you think you said there was another

1:24:55 person?

1:24:56 >> No, it No, it didn't. It It said

1:24:59 >> Oh, okay.

1:25:00 >> I'm just saying I can't read the

1:25:01 articles. There's a It's behind a payw

1:25:02 wall, so you only get a little bit.

1:25:04 Okay. So, here it is. Dina Fatford was

1:25:06 sentenced to 18 years in New Mexico

1:25:10 Department of Corrections on Okay. She

1:25:12 was sentenced to the following her

1:25:14 guilty plea sentence, seconddegree

1:25:16 murdered, tampering with evidence, blah

1:25:18 blah blah. Hold on a second. This is the

1:25:20 other part. The sentence was structured

1:25:23 this way. 18 months for forgery

1:25:26 and three years for tampering with

1:25:29 evidence concurrent with 15 years in

1:25:33 prison for uh uh and the three years. So

1:25:36 it's 15 plus the three years for the

1:25:38 tampering. So total of 18. Okay, that

1:25:40 makes sense.

1:25:41 >> So there you go. So she before they went

1:25:43 to the box, she they gave her a plea

1:25:47 deal. She goes and I guarantee she made

1:25:50 it up. She said, "Yeah, I was pushed

1:25:52 down the stairs. He was drunk. I was in

1:25:54 fear for my life."

1:25:55 >> Yeah.

1:25:56 >> Yes. Did I stand over him after he was

1:25:59 riving from the bullet and put two more

1:26:02 in him? Yes, I did. But

1:26:05 >> he was trying to kill me.

1:26:06 >> He was trying to kill me. That's That's

1:26:08 what I'm saying. She could have even

1:26:09 avoided that if she had just made up a

1:26:12 decent, you know, framed decent story

1:26:14 and called the cops instead of ditched

1:26:17 his body, you know?

1:26:18 >> Yeah. I'm hormonal. I'm going through uh

1:26:21 I'm I'm going through menopause. I can't

1:26:23 be held responsible. I'm you know.

1:26:25 >> Yeah. Menopause, dude.

1:26:27 >> Yeah. Lesie uh or uh what's her name?

1:26:30 Lesie. Uh uh Clancy. Yeah.

1:26:32 >> Yeah.

1:26:33 >> Lindsay. Lindsay Clansy. Lindsay.

1:26:34 >> Lindsay. Clancy. My box is drying up. Uh

1:26:38 my my I'm way, you know, I'm used up.

1:26:41 I'm good.

1:26:42 >> God,

1:26:44 horrible.

1:26:45 >> My eggs are hardboiled now. Yeah. Like

1:26:48 that's what I mean. I I think I think

1:26:50 we've learned a couple of things from

1:26:52 this video. One is relationship advice.

1:26:56 >> Relationships are hard. They're hard.

1:27:00 >> Guys, if if you're in a relationship

1:27:02 with a woman and she shows you who she

1:27:06 is, she tries to run you over with the

1:27:09 car. Believe her.

1:27:10 >> Mhm.

1:27:11 >> Believe her.

1:27:12 >> She stabbed her ex-husband. She's tried

1:27:14 to kill husbands. She's a a blackout

1:27:17 drunk.

1:27:18 >> Right. Right. Right.

1:27:20 >> Thailand,

1:27:21 >> baby. I hog tied my my daughter, but

1:27:24 that was a different me. That was a

1:27:25 different time.

1:27:26 >> Could you imagine one trip to like

1:27:28 Thailand? This guy would have a totally

1:27:30 different outlook on dating. Just one

1:27:33 trip.

1:27:34 >> And he's not he's not broke, Bo. He's

1:27:36 not broke.

1:27:37 >> No. No. You could get a a chick without

1:27:40 a dick in Thailand for $1.5 million.

1:27:43 >> Yeah. I heard the ones with them are

1:27:44 kind of a bargain. Really? But they're

1:27:48 dude,

1:27:50 >> you go Matt Matt, you get yourself a a a

1:27:53 Thai lady boy, you'll be all for trans

1:27:55 rights. Tell you that.

1:27:57 >> What was it? What was that? Is it what

1:27:59 was the name of the the hotel? There was

1:28:01 some

1:28:03 Lotus White Lotus or something hotel or

1:28:06 something on HBO or not HBO, Netflix or

1:28:09 something. And that guy, he describes

1:28:12 the the lady boy and then he wanted to

1:28:14 be a lady boy. Bro, it was Oh my god.

1:28:16 [ __ ] hilarious. Hilarious.

1:28:20 >> Dude, Craig could have had a lady boy, a

1:28:21 boy, a girl, whatever Craig wanted. He I

1:28:25 mean, you don't I don't care how old

1:28:28 school you are. A woman tells me she's

1:28:31 been married three times before.

1:28:35 Here's here. Have another drink. Tell me

1:28:37 more. Yeah. And I used to work in a

1:28:39 prison and I hog tied my daughter. And

1:28:42 and keep in mind too, and the the

1:28:44 ex-husbands, one of them said, "I called

1:28:47 Craig. I told him she's crazy. I told

1:28:49 him like these people, everybody's

1:28:51 warning you. Her her daughters hate her

1:28:53 guts. Everybody hates her. Her mom

1:28:55 [ __ ] has a problem with her.

1:28:56 Everybody hates her. There's a reason

1:28:58 for that."

1:29:08 years. This happens to salt of the earth

1:29:11 people, by the way. That's why I don't

1:30:39 non-lethal self-defense against your

1:30:41 spouse. We have what? What do you call

1:30:42 that? A plet gun. A strong pellet gun.

1:30:44 >> It's a launcher. They're called

1:30:50 >> I got to have a launcher." You There's a

1:30:51 launcher.

1:30:52 >> What I like about a launcher is I'm more

1:30:54 prone to shoot you with a launcher
