00:05:39

00:06:32

thank you man as fonte gives police bits

00:06:35

and pieces of information a rough story

00:06:38

starts to emerge what started as a fun

00:06:40

night out led to an alcohol fueled spat

00:06:43

between the couple I'm marging with her

00:06:46

and it's the final straw I'm like dude I

00:06:49

like we're done she's just like not

00:06:51

trying to hear it cuz she never thought

00:06:52

I would go that far but it is dude it is

00:06:54

what am I what am I looking like look

00:06:56

right now you know what I mean over with

00:07:00

but soon a simple argument escalated

00:07:02

into the unthinkable so she's up there

00:07:05

and I'm like I'm done I'm done and she

00:07:07

just stabbed herself in the stomach dude

00:07:09

she stabbed herself yes why did she stab

00:07:12

herself do you think cuz she is upset

00:07:14

with me one of the few clear things

00:07:16

fonte had been able to share over the

00:07:18

911 call was this before I send any of

00:07:22

my units in there I need to know where

00:07:23

the knife is who stabbed them if they're

00:07:27

breathing do you know any of that it's

00:07:30

me and her we're in an

00:07:32

argument okay she is depressed and

00:07:35

stabbed herself

00:07:37

she is not right in the head in the

00:07:42

chilling aftermath of the events that

00:07:43

morning detectives find themselves

00:07:45

untangling a disturbing story and they

00:07:48

will soon uncover that it's far more

00:07:50

Twisted than things first appear in 2017

00:07:54

Sam Link was working as a certified

00:07:56

nursing assistant helping families in

00:07:59

needs

00:08:00

she was a celebrated local soccer player

00:08:02

and known amongst her friends as an

00:08:04

outgoing person fonte was a football and

00:08:07

basketball athlete throughout school and

00:08:10

shared Sam's love of sports everyone

00:08:13

really loved Fon you know everyone

00:08:15

gravitated towards him so I've known

00:08:16

fonte for almost 20 years uh we met

00:08:19

during our first week at Jefferson jior

00:08:21

High he's friendly and very loving

00:08:25

person in an exclusive interview with

00:08:27

ewo fonte discussed the beginning of his

00:08:30

relationship with Sam she was really

00:08:32

nice you know she seemed really happy it

00:08:36

was easy going you know no one expected

00:08:38

that a couple so full of life would end

00:08:40

up in such a dark and terrifying

00:08:43

situation as First Responders work to

00:08:45

save Sam's life police bring fonte back

00:08:48

to the station to answer a few questions

00:08:51

at first I was just like oh it's just

00:08:54

protocol he was the only one on scene

00:08:57

but once he's had a few moments alone to

00:08:59

catch his breath his behavior is curious

00:09:02

to say the least however this could be

00:09:04

due to the fact that he's been assured

00:09:06

Sam will be okay and the First

00:09:08

Responders are doing everything in their

00:09:09

power to save her regardless his

00:09:12

behavior comes off as

00:09:19

[Laughter]

00:09:23

disturbing and I got blood on my shirt

00:09:26

oh my

00:09:27

God fonte was read his Miranda rights

00:09:30

while in the back of the police vehicle

00:09:32

and again before the questioning started

00:09:35

though he wasn't under arrest it's

00:09:37

important to remember that when police

00:09:39

ask you to answer questions about an

00:09:41

incident even if you're an innocent

00:09:43

bystander to say that you want to talk

00:09:45

to a lawyer before answering if you ask

00:09:48

for a lawyer all questioning must stop

00:09:51

officer wall is tasked with watching

00:09:53

fonte while the detectives get ready to

00:09:55

question him about what exactly happened

00:09:57

before police arrived on the scene

00:10:00

fonte launches into his story eager to

00:10:02

share every detail of the previous

00:10:04

evening up until these early morning

00:10:06

hours he explains an ongoing agreement

00:10:09

that he has with Sam twice a week on

00:10:12

Thursdays and Saturdays he goes out with

00:10:14

friends for reasons that will soon be

00:10:17

revealed to police fonte prefers flying

00:10:19

solo on these nights leaving Sam back at

00:10:23

home but last night Sam proposed a

00:10:26

different idea she well hey Sam you know

00:10:29

kick with me I was like I was like you

00:10:32

know all right yeah I can do that I was

00:10:34

like well what we going to do with that

00:10:35

oh we go to the best wor and chill on

00:10:37

the hot tub and I was like okay yeah so

00:10:39

we went there chill you know got a

00:10:42

bottle having a good time but before

00:10:45

long their plans take a turn when fonte

00:10:47

gets a phone call from his friend Ricky

00:10:50

who invited them to join him and other

00:10:52

friends at the bar still dressed in

00:10:54

their swimsuits and sweatpants the two

00:10:56

head out to one of font's favorite

00:10:58

haunts a local bar called Easy Street by

00:11:02

all accounts the outing had a great

00:11:04

start fonte sister spoke to us in an

00:11:06

interview about that night I remember

00:11:09

seeing them the night before they had

00:11:11

taken pictures and stuff and they just

00:11:13

were having a really good time but as

00:11:15

the night progressed cameras from Easy

00:11:17

Street catch a glimpse of the ups and

00:11:19

downs that evening in between periods of

00:11:21

obvious tension and physical distance

00:11:24

Sam and fonte were seen taking photos

00:11:26

together and kissing while it's not

00:11:28

clear what specific incident ignited the

00:11:31

series of fights between fonte and Sam

00:11:34

authorities learned there were two main

00:11:35

points of contention a conversation

00:11:38

between fonte and Sam and a chat he had

00:11:40

with another woman at the bar and his

00:11:43

friend Ricky elaborates in our interview

00:11:46

at the beginning everything was for the

00:11:48

most part fun fine but as the night kind

00:11:52

of continued Sam had a couple episodes

00:11:56

with one with the girl I was seeing at

00:11:57

the time and then one of her friends

00:11:59

friends I think it kind of originated

00:12:01

just because Sam hadn't ever been

00:12:02

introduced to them Inon and I we were

00:12:05

just all having you know casual

00:12:07

conversations and she got upset about it

00:12:11

according to meline the woman who spoke

00:12:13

with fonte Sam allegedly started yelling

00:12:16

at her but fonte stepped in and

00:12:18

de-escalated the situation that goes

00:12:21

down and then it kind of just took off I

00:12:23

want to had to smoke with her we come

00:12:25

back in and she she goes in the bathroom

00:12:28

of the G like talking with her like half

00:12:29

hour I was like I thought you just hat

00:12:30

like she's ready ready to kill this girl

00:12:32

I'm asking her what happened like I

00:12:34

don't care I was like what like what

00:12:35

turn the switch you know I mean she's

00:12:37

like oh she's like oh nothing and she

00:12:39

gets all mad and leaves cuz I was asking

00:12:42

her a question she never wants to talk

00:12:43

about nothing but from the sound of

00:12:45

things this incident may not have been

00:12:47

the real problem at all at some point in

00:12:50

the evening Sam apparently left the bar

00:12:52

for a short time only to come back with

00:12:55

her sight set on fonte in our exclusive

00:12:58

interview with font

00:12:59

he explains what happened I tried

00:13:02

calling her over and over and she

00:13:05

wouldn't pick up and about 20 minutes

00:13:06

later she came back to the bar and she

00:13:09

just looked like significantly more

00:13:13

intoxicated like I said this was like a

00:13:15

common thing when we went out when she

00:13:18

returned fonte tells police that Sam

00:13:20

asked him for the names of his

00:13:22

ex-girlfriends the first thing I was

00:13:24

like do you really want to know that

00:13:25

question you know what I mean like I

00:13:27

ain't got nothing to hide but like you

00:13:28

you're drunk and you're going to you

00:13:30

want to get pissed did you pull her

00:13:32

aside and talk to her you were still

00:13:33

talking to oh hell yeah she was Mak

00:13:35

scene I was like sorry went outside and

00:13:38

talk yeah she just was not hearing what

00:13:42

I was saying fonte explains that the

00:13:45

friction between them steadily worsened

00:13:47

eventually he says Sam grew heated and

00:13:49

walked away disappearing from the bar a

00:13:52

second time and according to Sam's older

00:13:55

sister this wasn't necessarily out of

00:13:57

the norm for Sam she doesn't like

00:14:00

confrontation she doesn't want to argue

00:14:02

she doesn't want to fight and so in

00:14:04

instead of fighting with him she would

00:14:06

leave she wanted to settle down um and

00:14:10

he didn't and so they'd fight about that

00:14:13

a lot I'm like why are you spazzing over

00:14:16

some that you she like cuz I would blah

00:14:19

blah and all this and she just I don't

00:14:22

know she just got she's not like that

00:14:25

just when she drinks she's where' she go

00:14:27

then I don't know

00:14:29

but she left and then came back in like

00:14:33

20 minutes okay so were you texting her

00:14:36

when she left no no in an effort to

00:14:39

confirm the events that night police

00:14:41

would soon gather more information from

00:14:43

font's cell phone information suggesting

00:14:46

a slightly different version of events

00:14:49

but for now he shares more context about

00:14:51

his relationship with Sam she came back

00:14:54

again cuz she's thinking this is how she

00:14:56

thinks you know she thinks I'm like

00:14:58

doing she she came back trying to see if

00:15:00

I was well this is what I think anyways

00:15:02

like she came back trying to see if I

00:15:04

was doing something you haven't done

00:15:06

anything to to make her not trust you at

00:15:08

all that

00:15:10

like this ain't a relation I've never

00:15:12

cheated on her or any girl like I'm not

00:15:15

you know what I mean like it's it's not

00:15:16

like we got like a you know relationship

00:15:19

like that you know I want you to know

00:15:21

that she

00:15:22

just has trust issues you know fonte

00:15:27

elaborated on his past troubles with Sam

00:15:30

I've been a jealous woman before but

00:15:32

this was just extraordinary like I mean

00:15:35

anything at all someone said my name or

00:15:38

anything she just assumed that there was

00:15:41

something going on whenever anyone came

00:15:43

up to us like I always introduced her as

00:15:46

my girlfriend I never there was never

00:15:49

anything funny about that but arguing

00:15:51

had become more and more common in Sam

00:15:53

and font's relationship lately me at the

00:15:56

beginning you know I was extremely happy

00:15:59

for fonte you know I could see the

00:16:00

happiness in his face he would speak on

00:16:02

it often I'd say about a month or so

00:16:04

though before the incident he did voice

00:16:06

some concern and was thinking about

00:16:08

breaking up with Sam but fonte wasn't

00:16:11

ready to throw in the towel just yet so

00:16:13

he did his best to keep the peace so she

00:16:16

left the first time because she found

00:16:17

out that you about your past

00:16:19

relationship she was mad she left then

00:16:22

she came back out of nowhere and came up

00:16:25

to the bar order to drink like nothing

00:16:27

happened and then what happened

00:16:29

and then after that we started arguing

00:16:32

again

00:16:36

and I'm sorry I'm a little fuzzy here

00:16:38

either she gave me a ride

00:16:41

or I'm pretty sure she gave me a ride

00:16:44

either that or I got to ride with on my

00:16:46

buddies and they Dro me out I really

00:16:48

like you don't remember if you got to

00:16:49

ride from her or

00:16:50

you I can't remember I will tell you was

00:16:53

either from her or one of my buddies

00:16:55

like you know so it's one of those two

00:16:58

I'm not being Shady was she already in

00:17:00

00:17:12

want everything to add up so I know I

00:17:14

know it's really important Von's memory

00:17:18

is fuzzy in other areas too even though

00:17:21

he denied texting Sam when she left the

00:17:23

bar that night court documents reflect

00:17:25

that he fired off at least eight

00:17:27

messages in a span of under 2 hours he

00:17:30

wrote you're doing dumb again trying to

00:17:33

ruin us why you're such a hypocrite you

00:17:37

think I didn't hear about you from your

00:17:38

00:17:57

00:17:59

in the bathroom with her you made me

00:18:01

look like a fool Sam never responds to

00:18:04

font's messages but the two eventually

00:18:07

reconnect around 2:00 a.m. the bar shuts

00:18:09

its doors for the night forcing the

00:18:11

couple to head back home and it's here

00:18:14

that their quarreling reaches fever

00:18:15

pitch allegedly over font's past

00:18:19

00:19:50

her that was the worst i' I did to her

00:19:53

even as police ask things that would

00:19:54

make the average person anxious or

00:19:56

uncomfortable fonte responds with an

00:19:58

eerie flippancy those scratches you got

00:20:02

you got a couple scratch I

00:20:05

do she have long nails

00:20:08

or uh I don't know I mean she's not like

00:20:14

like nail marks or something so yeah in

00:20:17

addition to the scratches police

00:20:18

observed on his face police find similar

00:20:21

marks on font's chest and both sides of

00:20:23

his neck so you brought her upstairs

00:20:26

yeah yeah we're we're fighting you know

00:20:29

00:20:42

little uh you know like knife thing you

00:20:46

yeah just got she pulls it out and I'm

00:20:49

like sorry um okay there's a stairs

00:20:53

right here I'm standing on the stairs

00:20:55

between the kitchen right here and I got

00:20:57

my other foot on the downstairs she is

00:21:00

over here she grabs a knife after we're

00:21:03

in like the most heated of the argument

00:21:05

she grabs a knife so I'm thinking you

00:21:08

know she's coming at me so I grab I'm on

00:21:11

this you know got my foot on the kitchen

00:21:12

and my back foot on the door I grabb the

00:21:15

door for it thinking she's gonna you

00:21:17

know come at me I'm come come and she

00:21:20

just and I just started freaking out you

00:21:23

know okay I was the that's the most M

00:21:26

I've ever been in anybody in my whole

00:21:27

life but even though she did that I was

00:21:31

like it was really scary she didn't make

00:21:32

any attempt to come at you no she didn't

00:21:35

nope not with her knife in the midst of

00:21:38

font's reenactment the officer also

00:21:40

throws in a subtle question about Sam

00:21:42

and the knife one that may be designed

00:21:45

to prevent any future claims of

00:21:46

self-defense should fonte be

00:21:48

intentionally deceiving

00:21:51

them and I just lost it dude you like so

00:21:55

that's where all the blood came from as

00:21:56

you trying to I don't know I can't tell

00:21:58

you that for sure I would assume so I

00:22:00

did not you know like right when that

00:22:03

happened but you went over there and

00:22:04

tried to help her is what I'm saying she

00:22:07

stabbed herself and I was like what I

00:22:10

was like what you know I went up went up

00:22:12

and I I just I didn't even touch her I

00:22:15

don't think as fonte retells the story

00:22:17

to different officers and detectives

00:22:19

slight differences emerge he will later

00:22:22

claim that he checked for Sam's pulse

00:22:24

but couldn't feel it she is okay now yes

00:22:28

yes as far as I know she's like I said I

00:22:30

didn't really see her I didn't really

00:22:32

who told you that she was okay one of

00:22:34

the officers told us that she was okay

00:22:36

and the EMS that was transporting her

00:22:40

you know also said that she was doing

00:22:41

fine that not know she made it that's

00:22:46

it is she breathing shut up you tell me

00:22:50

if she's

00:22:52

breathing it's

00:22:54

fine not I'm not that Lev of my content

00:22:57

you know yeah so which is

00:22:59

fine not necessar saying I feel better

00:23:02

but I do despite seeming confident here

00:23:06

fonte had some concerns when he first

00:23:08

stepped in the interrogation room I'm

00:23:11

cool right like do I need to not like do

00:23:14

I need to protect myself what do you

00:23:16

mean like I'm not doing it like I'm cool

00:23:20

right there's no like no no no basically

00:23:25

why we're doing in here just because

00:23:26

it's going to be recorded right yeah

00:23:29

that's fine I mean everything

00:23:31

everything's recorded anyways but sure I

00:23:33

just want to protect myself yeah no

00:23:36

fonte seems to sense that he may be in

00:23:38

trouble if he keeps talking but he stops

00:23:40

short of asking for a lawyer officer

00:23:43

wall steps out and two detectives

00:23:45

arrived to finally begin their interview

00:23:47

with fonte I don't feel that I'm in the

00:23:49

wrong I would have never forgave myself

00:23:51

if she would have di there I like I that

00:23:55

wasn't my fault like she is I care about

00:23:58

the girl but she has issues and we can't

00:24:00

be together she is she's very good just

00:24:03

when she drinks it's not good she's a

00:24:08

really good person like I don't want you

00:24:09

guys get the wrong foot on her I'm not

00:24:12

like I want nothing to do I don't want

00:24:15

contact nothing like that that was

00:24:17

that's crazy to me as the detective asks

00:24:20

more appointed questions fonte stresses

00:24:23

multiple times that he has no interest

00:24:25

in seeing or speaking with Sam ever

00:24:27

again

00:24:29

the scratch and stuff and you got like a

00:24:31

little bruise on here was that from her

00:24:34

or had I don't want like I said like I

00:24:37

don't want to impress any charges like I

00:24:39

don't want nothing to do with the girl

00:24:42

that's all I want to know she's fine

00:24:43

finally the officer that I just talked

00:24:45

to was super cool told me she was all

00:24:48

right that's all I want to know I we if

00:24:52

it wasn't already done it's that you

00:24:56

need somebody to stab theirself in the

00:24:58

I'm afraid to say go I guess I

00:25:01

do are we are we done I'm not I'm tired

00:25:05

man like I I've had three people come

00:25:08

I'm answering the same questions for you

00:25:10

guys am I rested or not oh we're still

00:25:13

just a question yeah we're still kind of

00:25:15

trying to piece things together to be

00:25:17

honest I honestly don't have a a a

00:25:20

straight answer for you I just I need

00:25:22

one or else I'm going to leave okay well

00:25:24

let me figure out cuz con turn's outside

00:25:26

okay and let me talk to them

00:25:29

later a deposition of Sam's ex-boyfriend

00:25:31

would reveal an incident that Rings

00:25:33

eerily familiar to the one that fonte

00:25:35

has been describing to police in his

00:25:38

statement Sam's former boyfriend

00:25:39

describes an argument between himself

00:25:41

and Sam that ended in her suddenly and

00:25:44

angrily reaching for none other than a

00:25:46

knife but he alleges the fight ended

00:25:48

when he took the weapon away from her

00:25:50

before she could harm either one of them

00:25:53

the similarities are hard to ignore two

00:25:56

fights two different boyfriends and two

00:25:58

knives pulled In the Heat of the Moment

00:26:01

but as font's grandfather alleges in an

00:26:03

exclusive interview Sam's past

00:26:06

relationship may have been a catalyst

00:26:07

for this type of behavior here he makes

00:26:10

a claim about Sam and her ex note that

00:26:12

he's not talking about fonte but rather

00:26:15

the same ex-boyfriend who gave a

00:26:17

deposition about Sam reaching for a

00:26:18

knife during an argument they fought a

00:26:22

lot and actually fought physically and

00:26:25

evidently it was physically the point

00:26:28

that he would hit her if these

00:26:30

allegations are true Sam may have felt

00:26:32

that her argument with fonte would also

00:26:34

turn physical leading her to grab a

00:26:37

weapon perhaps in self-defense but this

00:26:40

case is anything but clearcut Sam was

00:26:43

diagnosed first with borderline

00:26:45

personality disorder and then later with

00:26:47

bipolar disorder she reportedly told a

00:26:50

hospital staff member I feel every day

00:26:54

and no one will help me confidential

00:26:57

documentation would later allude to

00:26:59

Sam's intent to end her life perhaps on

00:27:01

multiple occasions as well as the means

00:27:04

by which she would do so stating that

00:27:06

she would grab whatever she could find

00:27:09

but Sam eventually began a treatment

00:27:11

plan that seemed to stabilize her

00:27:13

condition in fact Sam paid a visit to

00:27:16

her psychiatrist just one day before the

00:27:18

incident and the medical note suggests

00:27:20

she was doing well she rided herself

00:27:23

with a low depression score in any case

00:27:26

police need something more concrete to

00:27:28

guide their investigation what what

00:27:30

could I possibly do to make somebody

00:27:33

want to stab theirself in the stomach

00:27:36

you get what I'm you feel me like I hope

00:27:38

somebody bues me cuz it looks bad I BL

00:27:42

on my thumb and my shirt but I'm

00:27:45

left-handed though that makes me look a

00:27:47

little good

00:27:53

right I've I've taken her to counselors

00:27:55

I you stab yourself in the stomach I I

00:27:59

I'm not a whatever that people that do I

00:28:03

I don't know she's nuts I know that

00:28:05

she's like she all girls are crazy she a

00:28:08

little more crazy but not like that

00:28:11

there's a switch that hit sometimes and

00:28:13

she just come I mean was she like

00:28:15

cursing at you

00:28:16

like yeah and all that kind of stuff

00:28:19

yeah well that's any girl right you know

00:28:22

sheing Furious fale what fonte doesn't

00:28:25

know is that police will soon get more

00:28:27

firsthand accounts of what happened at

00:28:28

Easy Street and this time the details

00:28:31

come from Sam's friends Sam was with

00:28:34

three different women at the bar and

00:28:37

according to their statements she sat in

00:28:38

her parked car outside of Easy Street at

00:28:41

one point Crying In the Heat of her

00:28:43

argument with fonte he allegedly threw

00:28:46

her cell phone and purse when one of the

00:28:49

friends went inside to retrieve her

00:28:50

things fonte reportedly refused snapping

00:28:54

that Sam could get the phone herself and

00:28:56

in our interview with font hey he

00:28:58

doesn't dispute this I mean the whole

00:29:02

rest of the night we were Sam and I were

00:29:04

just really arguing a lot and she just

00:29:06

kept leaving from the bar and coming

00:29:08

back several times and each time she

00:29:10

just came back more and more like

00:29:13

intoxicated she was actually prescribed

00:29:16

Xanax and Aderall and when she mix them

00:29:19

like when she was drinking it was just

00:29:21

it's always bad plus she was on a lot of

00:29:24

anti-depressants and things like that so

00:29:27

it got worse and say the night went on

00:29:29

and as the bar neared closing friends

00:29:31

say they offered Sam a ride for a

00:29:33

potentially life-changing moment she

00:29:36

considered leaving with them Sam and her

00:29:39

friends were interrupted when fonte

00:29:40

approached her car Witnesses recall

00:29:43

overhearing font and it was clear to

00:29:45

them that he didn't want her to leave

00:29:46

with friends ultimately Sam decides to

00:29:50

drive herself and fonte back home if

00:29:53

eyewitness accounts are true it seems

00:29:55

fonte left several details out of his

00:29:57

original timeline maybe these omissions

00:30:00

can be written off as nerves or

00:30:01

lingering intoxication but police are

00:30:04

still left wondering what else they

00:30:06

don't know soon they would get a

00:30:08

surprising piece of evidence from font's

00:30:10

phone one that would prove very

00:30:12

difficult to refute the detectives from

00:30:15

earlier return once again this time to

00:30:17

reveal the shocking truth they've been

00:30:19

keeping from fonte flipping everything

00:30:22

you think you know about this case on

00:30:24

its head but this is just the first of

00:30:26

many twists in this this case as you'll

00:30:29

see by the end we're investigators you

00:30:32

get that right yeah so this matter is

00:30:35

pretty serious I get it bad news is she

00:30:38

didn't make

00:30:40

it your girlfriend is

00:30:43

dead yeah I'm sorry to break that to you

00:30:46

but this is the seriousness of this as

00:30:49

he's confronted with the terrible news

00:30:51

that Sam has died fonte appears to

00:30:54

freeze he's been highly animated until

00:30:56

this moment it could be the shock of

00:30:59

loss but his response seems to be an

00:31:01

example of cognitive overload and could

00:31:03

be him processing what to do next and if

00:31:06

he now may be facing charges he's

00:31:08

clearly reeling so I know you're a

00:31:11

[Applause]

00:31:13

little she did not make it

00:31:16

[Applause]

00:31:45

oh

00:32:05

oh my

00:32:08

God oh my

00:32:19

[Applause]

00:32:25

God can't man I can't do

00:32:30

it I don't deserve do

00:32:34

that

00:32:38

she oh my god

00:32:50

dude dude called him so

00:32:55

fast I called him dude

00:33:16

[Applause]

00:33:25

earlier fonte appeared to be relieved

00:33:27

when he was told that Sam was doing okay

00:33:29

and calmed down considerably this is

00:33:32

significant because typically a guilty

00:33:34

person would likely be panicked knowing

00:33:36

that the victim is still alive to tell

00:33:38

the true

00:33:39

story however once he's told she's dead

00:33:42

he lost it again alternatively at the

00:33:45

news of Sam's death he could now be

00:33:47

realizing just how serious the

00:33:48

consequences could

00:33:50

be for me I go I can't take me somewhere

00:33:53

Man this ain't going to work we got to

00:33:55

go no I'm not no no dude do what you got

00:33:59

to do hold on just have right now stand

00:34:02

up with me

search War as I explain we're going slow

00:34:38

and deliberate this is a serious matter

00:34:40

you need to cooperate with us have been

00:34:42

Cooper ABS boy out there lied to me and

00:34:45

said was fine she said she was fine I

00:34:50

know that he he lied he lied I don't

00:34:53

know what he lied that off that young

00:34:56

25y old the same ages me said your than

00:34:59

you just like me and you look me dead in

00:35:01

the eye said everything was cool made me

00:35:02

00:35:07

okay is that fair where you want some

00:35:09

fresh air I'll get you some fresh air so

00:35:11

you can I want smoke a cigarette I can't

00:35:13

let you smoke this would be a good time

00:35:15

to let fonte take a break and go out for

00:35:17

a cigarette a cigarette can be an

00:35:19

incredibly useful tool to bond in the

00:35:21

interrogation room as allowing someone

00:35:24

to take a break is a great way to build

00:35:26

rapport and attime s even referred to as

00:35:28

a Talking Stick as it helps get

00:35:31

information out of people it would have

00:35:33

been a good idea to take this kind of

00:35:35

break here because as you'll soon see

00:35:37

fonte is about to be out of control and

00:35:40

a smoke break may have helped let me go

00:35:44

I do not care if you're not arresting me

00:35:46

get me the out here I'm G to freak out

00:35:48

dude if you're not arresting me I'm

00:35:51

going to walk out this room right now

00:35:52

you're being detained you're not going

00:35:53

to walk out okay fonte is told he's now

00:35:56

being detained which which is an

00:35:57

indication that he's in custody as he's

00:35:59

not being allowed to leave the police

00:36:02

likely intentionally withheld telling

00:36:04

him this in order to keep him talking if

00:36:06

they told him earlier there's a chance

00:36:08

he would not have agreed to talk to them

00:36:10

this is why it's so important to ask for

00:36:13

a lawyer before ever speaking to police

00:36:16

however it is not illegal for the police

00:36:17

to withhold explicitly telling fonte he

00:36:20

is being detained until now when he

00:36:22

attempts to leave search war is for your

00:36:24

person your body we're doing that we

00:36:26

collect some things from you your

the eye like you are right I agree no I

00:36:53

agree with you no say that let me go no

00:36:58

would take me somewhere in our exclusive

00:37:01

interview fonte discussed his seemingly

00:37:04

unusual demeanor during the

00:37:05

interrogation and what he says he was

00:37:08

going through in these moments initially

00:37:11

when I came down to the police station I

00:37:14

was led to believe that Sam was still

00:37:16

alive you know that officer said manto

00:37:18

man she's getting help right now and

00:37:20

she's going to be fine and he had no

00:37:22

knowledge of that at all I don't know if

00:37:24

he just said that so I would calm down

00:37:26

or what but I was pretty like

00:37:27

lightharted about it because I'm

00:37:29

thinking that she's alive right and

00:37:32

after I'm done telling the story they

00:37:36

tell me oh we have some bad news uh your

00:37:39

girlfriend didn't make it and I just was

00:37:42

went right back to being hysterical I

00:37:44

was scream I was angry that they had

00:37:46

lied to me yeah I just really just lost

00:37:49

control right there if I had thought

00:37:52

that she wasn't alive I I would have

00:37:54

been continued to be hysterical like I

00:37:57

was and when they tell me that she died

00:38:00

I completely went back to that I don't

00:38:03

not like you guys you don't get it you

00:38:05

never had this happen to you I

00:38:08

agree you're right that we haven't had

00:38:10

this happen to

00:38:11

us oh my god get me out of here please

00:38:16

talk to ma get me out of here I'm

00:38:18

freaking out as First Responders

00:38:20

exhausted all efforts to save Sam that

00:38:23

morning they were soon faced with a grim

00:38:25

reality

00:38:28

her age is only helping us right

00:38:32

now with 20s two stab through the chest

00:38:37

CPR now she is a on the monitor after

00:38:41

providing Sam with CPR and AED support

00:38:44

for almost 10 minutes they were still

00:38:46

unable to detect a heartbeat so at 2:32

00:38:50

a.m. First Responders called her time of

00:38:53

death we spoke to Sam's older sister

00:38:56

Cassie and she shared her memories of

00:38:58

Sam before this heartbreaking moment Sam

00:39:01

was my younger sister but she was always

00:39:03

bigger

00:39:05

faster um smarter than me she uh she was

00:39:09

something else she loved animals dogs

00:39:12

and cats especially she loved caring for

00:39:16

other people and while Sam Slipped Away

00:39:19

a strange exchange was taking place on

00:39:21

the front porch fonte was in total

00:39:24

hysterics outside the home and one

00:39:26

officer's body body camera captured an

00:39:28

alarming statement one that seemed to

00:39:30

hint at what may have happened early

00:39:32

that morning oh my God Rel man no I

00:39:35

can't relax dude stabing up the stomach

00:39:39

over nothing

00:39:41

dude I called you that so long ago and

00:39:44

there's still not an ambulance is on the

00:39:46

floor dude rela yeah you relax go stab

00:39:50

your spouse in the face I'll tell you to

00:39:53

relax you stop what what more can you do

00:39:55

to me physical evidence from the scene

00:39:57

suggested font's hair Rising comment may

00:40:00

have been more than jumbled words in a

00:40:02

moment of

00:40:03

distress however in our interview fonte

00:40:06

addresses his seemingly chilling

00:40:07

statement to police in front of the

00:40:09

house at the time I didn't know that

00:40:13

police had to come and make sure the

00:40:15

scene was safe for you know ambulance

00:40:17

and First Responders I I felt like no

00:40:20

one was helping her and I was just weak

00:40:23

and just didn't have you know anything

00:40:25

left you know they kept telling me to

00:40:28

stand up stand up and I just eventually

00:40:31

just exploded and I just told them I'll

00:40:35

stab your spouse in the face and you try

00:40:38

and relax and I didn't say that because

00:40:40

I heard anyone or did anything I just

00:40:43

had so many like different emotions and

00:40:45

and it just came out like that like what

00:40:47

I meant was trying to say to them was

00:40:50

like you have something like this

00:40:51

happened to you and you try to like

00:40:53

stand up and relax the toxicology report

00:40:56

showed that Sam had a blood alcohol

00:40:58

level of

00:40:59

.22 as well as Xanax Prozac marijuana

00:41:03

benzo dipene and cocaine in her system

00:41:06

drinking alcohol while taking certain

00:41:08

medication can be very dangerous Xanax

00:41:11

and Prozac are nervous system

00:41:13

depressants when combined with alcohol

00:41:16

Xanax can greatly increase the chances

00:41:18

of severe impairments including sedation

00:41:21

blackouts and even seizures it also can

00:41:24

cause the person to become out of

00:41:26

control and dis anxiety depression mood

00:41:29

swings or

00:41:31

aggression when Xanax is mixed with

00:41:33

alcohol it also takes a lot less alcohol

00:41:36

for the person to get

00:41:37

intoxicated additionally alcohol

00:41:39

interferes with the effectiveness of

00:41:41

anti-depressant medications so if Sam

00:41:44

was drinking regularly and especially if

00:41:46

she's drinking several drinks at a time

00:41:48

her anti-depressants specifically Prozac

00:41:51

were likely not working the way they

00:41:53

should mixing proac and cocaine can

00:41:56

increase the risk of serotonin syndrome

00:41:59

a potentially life-threatening condition

00:42:01

characterized by agitation confusion

00:42:04

rapid heart rate high blood pressure and

00:42:07

hypothermia combining substances is very

00:42:10

dangerous and

00:42:12

unpredictable in the kitchen a

00:42:14

suspicious dent in the dishwasher near

00:42:16

Sam's body suggested a struggle took

00:42:18

place as for Sam she was visibly

00:42:21

disheveled both of her boots were kicked

00:42:24

off her feet and her hair was pulled out

00:42:26

of her ponytail

00:42:27

she also sustained multiple injuries

00:42:30

including a large bruise on her forehead

00:42:32

injuries to her scalp and bruising on

00:42:35

her nose and inside of her mouth two

00:42:38

long deep Cuts were present on the back

00:42:40

of her right hand according to the

00:42:42

medical examiner these were indicative

00:42:44

of self-defense but this has been the

00:42:47

subject of some debate Sam also had

00:42:49

scratch marks on her stomach several

00:42:52

small injuries to her lower body and a

00:42:54

total of 19 abrasions on her left Chek

00:42:57

chest a shocking piece of evidence will

00:42:59

soon be revealed that might explain some

00:43:02

of these injuries whatever happened it

00:43:05

was violent but font's family isn't

00:43:08

convinced he did anything but defend

00:43:10

himself there is some evidence that he

00:43:13

had Pusher but he had to get her off of

00:43:15

him because he she was biting through

00:43:17

her cheek his cheek in our conversation

00:43:20

with fonte he shares more details about

00:43:23

what happened in the basement as he and

00:43:25

Sam argued I said just just leave like

00:43:27

get out of my house please you know and

00:43:30

I was cussing at her you know and you

00:43:32

know calling her names and stuff like

00:43:35

that that's I'm not proud of but I was

00:43:37

just really frustrated not long after

00:43:39

that she stood up like she was gonna

00:43:41

leave and she just started punching me

00:43:43

in the face I'm was screaming at her and

00:43:46

she just keeps trying to punch me and

00:43:48

punch me so I wrestling around and

00:43:52

eventually I of her and I have like her

00:43:55

hands Penn down as I'm yelling at her

00:43:58

she like leans up and starts biting my

00:44:02

face and like she ends up getting like

00:44:06

her teeth like on my cheek and just it's

00:44:08

like it's really sinking in and I'm

00:44:10

trying to pull away and she's like I'm

00:44:11

feeling like she's gonna like take a

00:44:14

chunk out of of my cheek so I didn't

00:44:17

know what else to do so I I took my

00:44:19

thumb and I started like pressing it

00:44:22

against her eyelid immediately when I

00:44:24

did that she stopped biting me and I

00:44:27

stopped as well and I just stood up and

00:44:29

I said please you know leave like I I

00:44:32

don't want anything to do with you

00:44:34

anymore she just looks at me and like

00:44:36

kind of like just gives me this like a

00:44:40

weird like smile we get to the top of

00:44:42

the stairs she instead of going left

00:44:46

like she was about to leave she uh go

00:44:49

straight into the kitchen and she grabs

00:44:52

the busher knife and she turns around

00:44:54

and faces me and instead of coming after

00:44:57

me she takes the knife and she stabs

00:45:00

herself which I thought was in her

00:45:04

stomach but it was actually in her like

00:45:06

sternum like chest area and it looked

00:45:09

she went it looked like she went like

00:45:11

halfway in and then

00:45:14

Mor and I just completely panicked but

00:45:17

the main aggressor in the argument isn't

00:45:19

the only subject of debate there's also

00:45:22

the issue of the knife the blade that

00:45:24

Sam supposedly stabbed herself with was

00:45:26

found 10 ft from her body on the living

00:45:29

room carpet in order for the knife to

00:45:31

land in the living room Sam would have

00:45:33

to muster the energy to fling the blade

00:45:35

into the next room as she bled out two

00:45:38

of Sam's three stab wounds fully

00:45:40

punctured her chest with the knife

00:45:42

plunging into her heart and her right

00:45:44

lung court documents describe both

00:45:47

wounds as independently fatal both

00:45:50

rendering her incapacitated immediately

00:45:53

but this claim begs the question would

00:45:55

it be possible for Sam to punk her chest

00:45:57

fatally at least two times one expert

00:46:00

weighing in on Sam's case stated that

00:46:02

multiple stab wounds were found in zero%

00:46:05

of self-inflicted deaths however the

00:46:07

study was limited to a review of Blade

00:46:09

wounds for only a 10-year period and

00:46:12

only in Vermont the medical examiner

00:46:15

also explained that trajectory of the

00:46:17

knife was important in Sam's case the

00:46:19

orientation of the stab wounds were

00:46:21

either oblique or vertical which is rare

00:46:24

when self-inflicted as it forces someone

00:46:26

to hold the knife at an awkward angle

00:46:29

it's important to note that despite

00:46:31

these claims professional opinions still

00:46:33

vary in the same Vermont study

00:46:35

referenced by experts in this case

00:46:37

researchers noted that circumstantial

00:46:39

evidence plays a crucial role in

00:46:41

determining who caused blade wounds as

00:46:44

no characteristics they studied were

00:46:46

Surefire signs of homicide or

00:46:48

self-infliction additionally there are

00:46:50

many other cases where people had

00:46:52

similar wounds and did not die

00:46:55

instantaneously according to who

00:46:57

estimates approximately 1.6% to 3% of

00:47:01

self-inflicted deaths were performed

00:47:03

with a bladed weapon for example a

00:47:06

30-year-old man was found dead in his

00:47:08

flat with more than 40 stab wounds to

00:47:10

his neck chest and abdomen these wounds

00:47:13

were arranged in isolated groups within

00:47:16

which they showed similar directions and

00:47:18

had a transverse orientation it appeared

00:47:21

that like Sam the man consumed cocaine

00:47:24

and all of his wounds were

00:47:25

self-inflicted

00:47:27

another example is that of a 72-year-old

00:47:29

woman who was found dead in her bedroom

00:47:31

with a 4 cm vertical stab wound in the

00:47:34

abdomen similar to Sam's a blood covered

00:47:37

knife was found in the top drawer of her

00:47:39

bedside table along with blood stains in

00:47:42

every room of her apartment consistent

00:47:44

with longlasting physical activity after

00:47:47

self-stabbing in another shocking case a

00:47:50

44-year-old man stabbed himself in the

00:47:52

heart with a kitchen knife and then ate

00:47:55

lunch with his aunt before dying dying

00:47:57

research shows that death can be delayed

00:48:00

after vascular trauma like Sam's so it's

00:48:02

nearly impossible to be precise about

00:48:04

the estimated length of survival time

00:48:06

following fatal injuries like hers an

00:48:10

unusually shaped blood stain found near

00:48:12

Sam's body seemed to mimic that of the

00:48:14

large knife suggesting the blade may

00:48:17

have fallen beside her right hand but

00:48:19

court documents argue that the blood

00:48:21

staining question came from Sam's right

00:48:23

hand which smeared across the floor as

00:48:25

First Responders moved her body to

00:48:27

render aid but in spite of conflicting

00:48:30

evidence and research it's still the

00:48:32

medical examiner's opinion that fonte

00:48:34

story doesn't completely add up fonte

00:48:37

argues that there's more to this scene

00:48:39

than meets the eye if I was the one who

00:48:43

grabbed a knife why would Samantha

00:48:45

switch places with me and put herself

00:48:47

into a corner I actually had another

00:48:49

expert uh his name was Dr Brad Randall

00:48:52

of Dakota forensics he explained that

00:48:56

these were a offensive ones and not

00:48:57

defensive bounds because they were on

00:48:59

Sam's ring and pinky finger only and

00:49:02

that uh defensive ones are typically Pok

00:49:04

and slashes on the forearms or if

00:49:06

they're on the hands it's usually on the

00:49:09

palm or pointer and middle fingers from

00:49:11

them trying to grab the blade and defend

00:49:13

themselves Dr Brad Randall explained

00:49:16

that the cuts on those two fingers were

00:49:18

caused by Samantha dabbing herself with

00:49:21

the blade facing down and the knife

00:49:23

slips when she makes contact with

00:49:25

herself thus cutting her ring TIY

00:49:28

fingers only and a diagonal cut in line

00:49:30

with fonte statements the medical

00:49:32

examiner actually acknowledged that

00:49:34

someone else might have ruled Sam's

00:49:36

death as self-inflicted or undetermined

00:49:40

in fact a second forensic pathologist

00:49:42

brought onto the case disagreed with

00:49:44

some of the medical examiner findings

00:49:46

and specified that they believe the

00:49:48

manner of death was

00:49:50

self-inflicted we requested the autopsy

00:49:52

report so that our team's certified

00:49:54

crime scene investigator could review it

00:49:56

but we were denied at every turn we

00:50:00

received a vague report but any officer

00:50:02

reports and crime scene technician

00:50:04

reports were missing though the autopsy

00:50:07

would have been extremely helpful to

00:50:08

create a better picture of what happened

00:50:10

that night the officer reports and crime

00:50:13

scene reports paint the best picture

00:50:15

they describe what the investigators did

00:50:17

or didn't do at the scene and these

00:50:20

things are especially significant in the

00:50:22

case of a suspicious death they also

00:50:24

helped to back up facts around an

00:50:27

investigation something that'll become

00:50:29

extremely important by the end of this

00:50:30

video as we continue the investigation

00:50:33

despite being denied access to many

00:50:36

reports and what we uncovered is truly

00:50:40

shocking understandably every last

00:50:42

detail of the case is under a microscope

00:50:44

according to fonte a major area of

00:50:47

contention involved his initial

00:50:48

conversations with police where he

00:50:50

claimed Sam had been stabbed in the

00:50:52

stomach rather than the chest while it's

00:50:55

worth looking into any consistencies in

00:50:57

this story as fonte says Sam was wearing

00:51:00

a loose sweatshirt making it difficult

00:51:02

to tell exactly where her wound was

00:51:04

located when she stabbed herself she

00:51:07

immediately collapsed and didn't make

00:51:09

any noise she didn't scream or anything

00:51:11

at all she just turned around looked

00:51:14

right at me and and did it like I had no

00:51:17

idea she even seen that com or I I

00:51:20

didn't see that coming I had no idea

00:51:22

that she was about to do that at all

00:51:25

fonte doesn't dispute how strange things

00:51:27

appear instead he offers what he

00:51:29

considers grounds for reasonable doubt

00:51:32

it's probably is a little hard to

00:51:33

believe that someone would choose that

00:51:36

way to stab themselves it happened and

00:51:39

just because something's uncommon and

00:51:41

that it's impossible or that it it it

00:51:43

didn't happen she left a bloody

00:51:45

fingerprint near the handle and the

00:51:48

state said that there wasn't enough Rich

00:51:51

detail tell if print was made by

00:51:54

Samantha's uh fingerprint or mind

00:51:56

Samantha had two cuts on her ring and

00:51:58

pinky fingers only so obviously the

00:52:02

bloody fingerprint was made by her hand

00:52:04

and not mine that was a big thing in the

00:52:06

trial that they said that they don't

00:52:08

know whose fingerprint that was this is

00:52:10

the kind of thing that the officer

00:52:12

reports and crime scene reports would be

00:52:14

able to shed some light on if we hadn't

00:52:16

been denied access to them the reports

00:52:18

would detail if the investigators used

00:52:20

any chemicals to attempt to enhance the

00:52:22

print in blood there's a few common

00:52:25

chemicals that can enhance faint traces

00:52:27

of blood without destroying DNA so they

00:52:30

have no excuse not to use those for

00:52:32

example they could have used a chemical

00:52:34

called aquous Amo black a water-based

00:52:37

protein Dy stain that enhances faint

00:52:40

traces of blood typically used for

00:52:42

development of latent or patent prints

00:52:45

this could have helped to determine

00:52:46

whose finger the print actually belonged

00:52:48

to something crucial to the case the

00:52:51

police swabbed all the sinks and

00:52:53

bathtubs and they found that I didn't

00:52:56

wash my hands or anything like that

00:52:59

there was no gloves found it's also

00:53:01

worth noting what appears to be the same

00:53:03

hoodie fonte was wearing earlier as seen

00:53:05

on CCTV was found in the house however

00:53:08

it doesn't appear that it was even

00:53:10

collected as evidence or tested for

00:53:12

blood residue if I was the one who

00:53:16

stabed Samantha I would need to be very

00:53:18

very close to her but the blood spatter

00:53:20

on the floor was very much Out Of Reach

00:53:23

and distance from Samantha's body so if

00:53:26

I was in fact the one holding the knife

00:53:28

how would that blood spatter on the

00:53:30

floor several feet away be behind me it

00:53:33

would have hit me and it would have been

00:53:34

on my t-shirt there was no forensic

00:53:37

evidence found to show that fonte ever

00:53:39

touched the knife a blood spatter expert

00:53:42

also stated that the small amount of

00:53:44

blood on font's t-shirt could have been

00:53:46

deposited even if he was standing 10 ft

00:53:48

away from Sam as for the location of the

00:53:51

knife there's no clear answers only

00:53:55

questions yes to this day I do not know

00:53:58

I mean when I was calling 911 I know

00:54:00

that I was running back and forth we

00:54:02

talked about maybe did I kick it I I I

00:54:05

don't believe that I kicked it 8 to 10 F

00:54:08

feet is a distance but it's it's not you

00:54:10

know extremely far you know it could

00:54:12

have could have bounced or anything like

00:54:14

that it was on like a tile floor we also

00:54:17

discussed the possibility of when the

00:54:20

paramics came in they said that the

00:54:22

scene was very chaotic and I wondered if

00:54:25

maybe one of them accidentally kicked it

00:54:27

too you know a lot of different things

00:54:29

could have happened in any case police

00:54:31

weren't willing to let fonte leave

00:54:33

interrogation without more answers

00:54:36

00:55:34

interview things are about to really go

00:55:37

please wake up wake

continues to ramble I don't even know

00:56:24

00:56:27

always feel like this is my

00:57:03

fault she's dead

00:57:05

man I know she's not mean

00:57:09

to she be looking like

00:57:12

Sal fonte inspects his reflection in the

00:57:14

window to get a closer look at his

00:57:16

injuries but can't resist yet another

00:57:19

interesting comment this time about the

00:57:22

blood stains on his

00:57:24

shirt oh yeah she did get me huh damn I

00:57:29

even know I heard you guys talking about

00:57:30

it but I didn't really see

00:57:33

yeah maybe that's

00:57:39

my me no matter what fonte says police

00:57:44

have already found some shocking

00:57:45

evidence in the most unlikely of places

00:57:48

font's own cell phone the following clip

00:57:51

is just minutes before Sam's death when

00:57:54

fonte recorded a video that partially

00:57:56

documents their disagreement but it's

00:57:59

what police don't see that raises the

00:58:01

most

00:58:02

suspicion

00:58:03

stupid sting here get out my house

00:58:09

please get out my house please yep

00:58:12

seriously get out of here get the rest

00:58:15

of the

00:58:17

stuff don't get dumb okay don't ever get

00:58:20

DB you can get out right now think

00:58:23

you're tough of your boyfriend that you

00:58:25

had I'm not not a one in this video

00:58:28

there were no visible injuries to Sam's

00:58:30

nose and forehead suggesting she

00:58:32

sustained them right before she died

00:58:35

while this video looks damning to some

00:58:37

font's friends and family noticed

00:58:39

something different instead of damning

00:58:42

proof of an attack they see it as

00:58:44

grounds for Reasonable Doubt when Sam

00:58:46

comes running at him and he's laughing

00:58:49

and he's

00:58:51

saying I'm not your exboyfriend I would

00:58:54

I won't I don't hurt girls I I don't do

00:58:57

that like I'm not him but the abrupt end

00:58:59

to the video left many wondering what

00:59:01

wasn't documented and why it cut off so

00:59:05

suddenly the phone that I had you had to

00:59:07

like hold the button to like record it

00:59:10

kind of like a snatch kind of scenario

00:59:13

when she came at me she she first

00:59:16

punched me in the face and I just

00:59:18

dropped the phone to be honest I'm not

00:59:20

sure why I started recording it and I

00:59:23

think I just wanted her to leave knew

00:59:26

that probably was going to irritate her

00:59:29

meanwhile the disbelief some of Sam's

00:59:31

Family First felt about font's guilt

00:59:33

gradually began to shift after the

00:59:36

evidence came out it it all made sense

00:59:39

and I completely believe that he did it

00:59:42

font's interrogation ends soon after but

00:59:45

just before officers take him away he

00:59:48

leaves authorities with some Curious

00:59:50

final

00:59:51

words what could seriously happen worse

00:59:54

than those

00:59:57

you have something let me know that's

01:00:00

pretty bad I'll never forgive myself

01:00:03

despite his interrogation coming to an

01:00:05

end some of the most shocking details

01:00:07

were yet to be uncovered ultimately the

01:00:10

impact of Sam's death would be vast

01:00:13

transforming the lives of countless

01:00:15

friends and family members entirely yeah

01:00:17

so the evening that Samantha passed away

01:00:20

you know is one that will always be in

01:00:21

my mind it's a tragedy like I said

01:00:23

Samantha was a young girl she was 21

01:00:25

years old

01:00:26

fonte was arrested for murder in the

01:00:28

first degree but it was at trial where

01:00:31

more was revealed about what may have

01:00:33

happened that night and even more twists

01:00:35

in this already shocking case fonte lied

01:00:39

to police when he told them he

01:00:40

immediately called 911 phone records

01:00:43

indicate fonte made another call first

01:00:46

to his friend and housemate BK who also

01:00:48

owned the home he lived in with Sam

01:00:51

along with a sobering reminder fonte

01:00:54

offers a glimpse into why he may that

01:00:56

choice I didn't know what to do I

01:00:58

immediately I I called him and it rang

01:01:01

for a couple seconds and then I I guess

01:01:03

I was just panicking and then I

01:01:05

immediately called 911 I've never called

01:01:06

911 I've never been in a situation to

01:01:09

call 911 like I didn't know what to do I

01:01:12

just remember realizing that that was

01:01:14

you know that wouldn't help and that's

01:01:16

when I called 911 when people say oh you

01:01:18

should have did this or you should have

01:01:20

did that like you don't know what you

01:01:22

would do when you get into a situation

01:01:24

like that when something like that

01:01:25

happen happens you just I don't know you

01:01:27

kind of

01:01:29

just react however according to court

01:01:32

briefs fonte allegedly said to an

01:01:34

officer I thought that was dead when we

01:01:37

reviewed the interrogation we did not

01:01:39

hear fonte say this in the officer's

01:01:41

presence but rather I thought she was do

01:01:44

even so font's loved ones feel he wasn't

01:01:47

granted a fair shot at Justice frankly

01:01:50

there were a lot of things that took

01:01:52

place in this trial that will make you

01:01:53

raise your eyebrows and he isn't kidding

01:01:56

through our own investigation into this

01:01:58

Twisted case we uncovered even more

01:02:00

unbelievable details including a

01:02:02

shocking never beard interview with a

01:02:05

jury member innocent till proven guilty

01:02:08

just didn't seem like much of the case

01:02:09

here like I understand how hard it is

01:02:12

like wrap your head around somebody

01:02:13

doing that to themselves but the lack of

01:02:15

investigating before charging him forced

01:02:18

their hand to kind of do whatever it

01:02:20

takes to save face fonte stands firm in

01:02:22

his belief that authorities had their

01:02:24

minds made up about him they completely

01:02:27

didn't believe me from the very

01:02:29

beginning they immediately assumed that

01:02:33

this was a homicide they did no

01:02:35

investigation whatsoever we spoke to a

01:02:37

verified Source deeply involved with the

01:02:39

case they wish to remain anonymous in

01:02:42

order to avoid putting their business at

01:02:43

risk allegedly when they raised

01:02:46

questions about the nature of Sam's

01:02:47

wounds the police followed this person

01:02:50

and warned them to back off they also

01:02:53

claimed that the town of debuk Iowa is

01:02:55

allegedly corrupt and MOB run he

01:02:58

actually ended up being uh followed by

01:03:00

uh one of the police officers and he

01:03:02

ended up pulling over and having a

01:03:04

conversation with him according to fonte

01:03:07

Sam also showed a predisposition toward

01:03:10

violent acts and allegedly had a history

01:03:12

that contradicts her older sister's

01:03:14

statements about Sam's passive nature he

01:03:17

shares his recollection of an alleged

01:03:19

fight between Sam and Cassie Sam's

01:03:22

actually beaten her up multiple times on

01:03:25

record Cassie actually had to lock

01:03:27

herself into her own room in her own

01:03:29

house and she busted down the door and

01:03:31

beat her up I mean there's a lot of

01:03:33

times where she was conf we asked Cassie

01:03:36

about this alleged incident and she had

01:03:38

this to say quote nothing like that ever

01:03:42

happened when fonte was around I believe

01:03:44

he's trying to make Sam look like the

01:03:46

bad person in this story Sam and I

01:03:49

argued at times like sisters do but we

01:03:51

were always very close and didn't fight

01:03:53

often she got physical me once but fonte

01:03:57

wasn't there at trial Sam's mental

01:04:00

health records were excluded as evidence

01:04:03

font's friend Ricky shared more about

01:04:05

the trial fonte had to wave his right

01:04:08

between either a speedy trial or being

01:04:12

able to cross-examine all the jurors he

01:04:15

had to pick one you have the right to

01:04:16

both you know um so that was weird court

01:04:19

documents indicate that the judge Monica

01:04:22

akley required fonte to either wave his

01:04:24

right to a speedy trial or wave his

01:04:27

objection to the racial distribution of

01:04:29

the all-white jury during jury

01:04:32

deliberations a court officer stated

01:04:34

that the jurors were arguing so loudly

01:04:36

they could hear them from outside the

01:04:38

Jury Room in an exclusive ewo interview

01:04:41

Andrew a holdout juror explained his

01:04:44

position and upon reflection Andrew

01:04:46

didn't think things looked good for

01:04:48

fonte before the jury was even selected

01:04:50

I looked around the room there's like

01:04:53

200 or a little more than 200 people to

01:04:56

from from a jury pool I said he's the

01:04:58

only black person in this room Andrew

01:05:00

admits he was initially very skeptical

01:05:02

of fonte but he was willing to keep an

01:05:05

open mind a lot of people just assumed

01:05:08

like I did you know when I saw that

01:05:09

there was a dead girl and he's being

01:05:12

accused of stabbing her and I'm like oh

01:05:14

yeah he killed her after that first day

01:05:16

of trial I said I believe you killed her

01:05:18

Lord but I I said I'll give him the

01:05:20

benefit of the doubt I'll pay attention

01:05:22

to what goes on in the trial and we'll

01:05:25

go from there as the trial went on I

01:05:28

became less and less convinced that he

01:05:29

actually killed her Andrew's Logic the

01:05:32

evidence presented wasn't compelling

01:05:34

enough to say anything for certain among

01:05:36

other things he took issue with some of

01:05:38

Sam's injuries so the guy that did the

01:05:41

autopsy when they asked him about the

01:05:43

cuts on his hand he didn't explain it he

01:05:45

just said those are defensive wounds and

01:05:47

when I saw where the cuts were on her

01:05:49

fingers I was like that's not consistent

01:05:52

with him stabbing her you know if you're

01:05:55

being stabbed the chest your hands are

01:05:57

going to instinctively fly in front of

01:05:58

your chest to try and block the knife

01:06:01

you would have cuts on your hands other

01:06:03

than where she had those cuts see he

01:06:06

just dismissed it out of hand I'm like

01:06:08

well you didn't think that through very

01:06:09

much I mean it this was a serious matter

01:06:13

there was a dead girl and he's being

01:06:15

accused of murder and you know I I took

01:06:17

it very seriously and according to

01:06:20

Andrew the judge left no question as to

01:06:22

what the jurors were charged with

01:06:24

deciding it was made very clear that uh

01:06:27

if you have Reasonable Doubt then you

01:06:29

cannot convict but allegedly any sense

01:06:32

of cooperation among the jurors quickly

01:06:34

dissipated at the first sign of conflict

01:06:37

I told the other jurors I said you know

01:06:39

I've paid very close attention to what's

01:06:42

been going on in there and I I said

01:06:44

based upon everything I've seen and

01:06:46

heard I can't convict this man and

01:06:49

that's when immediately the other juror

01:06:51

said well if everybody's like you then

01:06:54

nobody would be in prison and right

01:06:56

there they set the tone for the rest of

01:06:57

that deliberation and that's when I

01:07:00

started to become let them know that I

01:07:02

just wasn't going to tolerate being

01:07:03

disrespected like that bullied

01:07:06

intimidated because that's ultimately

01:07:07

what they were trying to do to me but

01:07:09

Andrew's experience went far beyond

01:07:11

working through differences in opinion

01:07:13

he says some other jurors were downright

01:07:16

antagonistic two of them were attacking

01:07:18

me and the other girl who wasn't going

01:07:20

to convict they didn't treat her the way

01:07:22

they treated me you know they would ask

01:07:24

her questions why why do you think this

01:07:26

why that they were not civilized towards

01:07:28

me at one point we were like we're not

01:07:30

going to agree on this let's tell the

01:07:32

judge that it's a hung jury but the

01:07:35

judge was like nope keep at it keep at

01:07:37

it keep at it after the confrontation

01:07:39

you know it just became a very hostile

01:07:42

room to be in one female juror was

01:07:44

actually crying because of all the

01:07:45

hostility in there they were absolutely

01:07:47

determined to throw him into prison and

01:07:50

they weren't going to be persuaded

01:07:52

eventually some of Andrew's fellow

01:07:53

jurors allegedly accused him of not

01:07:55

honoring his oath as a juror and this is

01:07:58

where font's case takes another

01:08:00

appalling turn that Friday before we

01:08:03

were dismissed for the weekend the judge

01:08:05

pulled all of us into the courtroom and

01:08:07

admonished all of us that we have a

01:08:08

responsibility as jurors to deliberate

01:08:11

well that Saturday the next day I wrote

01:08:14

that note to the judge and then had it

01:08:17

presented to her the next Monday I asked

01:08:19

the attendant if she gave the judge the

01:08:21

letter and she said yes I did and she

01:08:24

read it knowns to me the judge sent a

01:08:28

note to the jury Foreman asking for my

01:08:30

identity and they gave her my name

01:08:33

without my knowledge of this happening

01:08:35

reading that note you can tell I was not

01:08:38

going to convict him I was not going to

01:08:40

let the other jurors bully me into

01:08:42

making a decision I didn't feel was

01:08:44

right she told the the prosecutor and

01:08:46

the defense attorney that she decided to

01:08:49

have me removed from the jury before she

01:08:52

read that note and I know that that's a

01:08:54

blatant lie she lied to the prosecution

01:08:57

and the defense that note is why she

01:09:00

kicked me off that jury because that

01:09:02

judge wanted a a guilty verdict and she

01:09:05

purposely manipulated that verdict

01:09:08

according to Andrew the way he was

01:09:10

treated had a ripple effect on other

01:09:12

members of the jury the defense attorney

01:09:15

asked me what had happened and I told

01:09:17

him they said would you be willing to

01:09:18

come in and sign a sworn affidavit to

01:09:20

what happened and I said absolutely and

01:09:23

the other girl who had changed her

01:09:24

verdict out of fear she had told them

01:09:28

that the judge came in there after

01:09:29

kicking me out threatening to prosecute

01:09:32

me and stuff like that she said after

01:09:34

what they did to Andrew she said I'm a

01:09:36

single mom I don't need that kind of

01:09:38

trouble so I changed my verdict just to

01:09:40

protect myself which is exactly what

01:09:43

that judge wanted ultimately after

01:09:45

Andrew was ousted from the jury his

01:09:47

replacement as well as the remaining

01:09:49

jurors voted to convict fonte of Murder

01:09:51

in the second degree in 2018 he was sent

01:09:55

to 50 years in prison we reached out to

01:09:58

judge akley for comment but didn't hear

01:10:00

back we also reached out to the other

01:10:02

jurors but they declined to be

01:10:04

interviewed in 2020 the Supreme Court

01:10:07

agreed to give the case a second look

01:10:10

the first judgment was reversed granting

01:10:12

fonte a new trial but font's victory was

01:10:15

short-lived Andrew noticed a similar

01:10:18

theme with the second trial which was

01:10:20

presided over by the same judge

01:10:22

investigator who had talked to me I told

01:10:24

him I said if there's no black jurors on

01:10:26

that jury he's going to get convicted

01:10:29

again he told me he said there was it

01:10:30

was an all-h jury again once again you

01:10:33

had a bunch of jurors who were not going

01:10:35

to be persuaded that he did not kill her

01:10:37

as far as they were concerned he's

01:10:39

guilty throw him in prison unless be

01:10:41

done with it you know I hadn't had a lot

01:10:44

of faith in the justice system anyway

01:10:46

but that pretty much just destroyed it

01:10:48

after the second jury deliberated for

01:10:50

over 6 hours fonte was convicted of

01:10:52

second deegree murder once again perhaps

01:10:56

coincidentally judge Monica akley has

01:10:58

come under public scrutiny for recent

01:11:00

rulings including the decision to allow

01:11:02

a former police officer convicted of

01:11:04

assault go without prison time for a

01:11:07

third deegree attack on a 14-year-old

01:11:10

girl one media Source also highlights

01:11:13

judge akley's low performance scores and

01:11:15

the Iowa Bar association's review for

01:11:17

judges in any case fonte doesn't hide

01:11:20

that the system is wearing on him the

01:11:23

reason I got my case over returned and

01:11:26

the reason that I feel like we're here

01:11:27

today is because it's seriously so

01:11:30

unbelievable how I got convicted twice

01:11:33

obviously Sam and I had both been using

01:11:35

drugs and alcohol that night I blew a 11

01:11:39

and she blew

01:11:41

a24 like along with ganx adderal

01:11:44

anti-depressants and all that like she

01:11:47

also had like the ability to not feel

01:11:50

pain from all that on the day before

01:11:52

Samantha's death she seen her doctor and

01:11:55

he reported on record saying that

01:11:58

Samantha had been feeling much better

01:12:00

since being with me and had no thoughts

01:12:03

about but on that exact same day my

01:12:07

investigators found text messages on her

01:12:10

phone saying that she just tells her

01:12:12

doctor what he wants to hear so she can

01:12:15

get her anx and out and get out of there

01:12:18

and I just feel like I've been a

01:12:20

nightmare for seven years sadly after

01:12:23

his second trial f 's mother passed away

01:12:26

from breast cancer but she was a fierce

01:12:29

advocate for her son until her last day

01:12:32

she never would give

01:12:33

up no and she'd go to see no matter how

01:12:37

sick she was you'd always go every other

01:12:40

week and see him and she would be in the

01:12:44

car until she couldn't be I would be

01:12:47

just the

01:12:48

happiest happiest person in the world if

01:12:51

he could come home right now it would

01:12:53

just make it would just make my day so

01:12:56

much brighter just to see him and have

01:12:59

him home after two appeals fonte still

01:13:02

hasn't given up hope and is working with

01:13:04

his legal team for another shot but for

01:13:07

now those who Lov Sam are focused on

01:13:09

keeping her Legacy alive uh my second

01:13:12

born his name is Leo because Sam was a

01:13:16

Leo some of Sam and Cassie's relatives

01:13:19

were in the background of the interview

01:13:21

listening in though not on camera they

01:13:23

began to argue and the the interview

01:13:25

ended abruptly shortly after we asked

01:13:28

Cassie about this later and she

01:13:30

explained that her family was upset over

01:13:32

the fact that Sam's not here to quote

01:13:34

talk for herself so fonte gets the

01:13:36

benefit of saying whatever to make her

01:13:38

look bad it's been s years and yet here

01:13:41

we are still having to deal with fonte

01:13:43

trying and doing anything he can to get

01:13:45

away with murder we gave Cassie the

01:13:48

opportunity to address font's other

01:13:50

comments without her family present but

01:13:52

we didn't hear back from her s 's bride

01:13:55

and caring spirit will not be forgotten

01:13:59

and as for fonte time will only tell

01:14:01

what comes next
