01x01 - She Had a Bad Fall

[bunniefuu]

Wild places.

Wilder crimes.

These are the stories of
the elite team that solves them

in the most dangerous
crime scenes in the world -

our national parks.

Go ahead, sir.

‐ He was frantic, saying,
you know,

"My wife just fell from a cliff.

She's unconscious.
I need help."

Why were you there?
Why is the "X" on this map?

The only reason to be where
you are is to commit m*rder.

Oh, my gosh, you know,
this is two wives for Harold

that have died now.

‐ There's no way
that that was an accident.

‐ That's it.
That's it.

Every year
on their anniversary,

Harold would plan a trip
with Toni.

Typically, the phone would ring,
"Hey, Leigh, this is Harold.

Toni and I are going to go on
this little honeymoon trip.

Could you take care of Haley
for the weekend?"

"Sure."

‐ They were about to have
their 12th anniversary,

and he was going to
surprise her.

She was just going to be
overwhelmed,

she was going to love it.

Harold projected
a successful businessman

who was very well‐off

and had wooed this beautiful
young lady from Mississippi.

Toni Bertolet from Mississippi.

She was an eye doctor -
ophthalmologist -

and very successful
and a great mom.

Harold called me and said,

"Hey, I'm taking my bride,

and we're going to
Rocky Mountain National Park."

And I went, "Great.
Have a great time."

‐ Harold had asked if I could
clear Toni's schedule,

and he said, "I really want to
surprise her with a trip."

And so I said, "Sure.
I'll take care of that for you."

I ended up texting Dr. Henthorn
just to say, "Congratulations.

Have a great weekend.
Be safe. Have a great time.

See you Monday."

And I never heard back from her.

My name is Mark Faherty.

I was a Park Ranger

in Rocky Mountain National Park.

My job was to be the first
to locate the patient.

I was told to go to
Deer Ridge Trailhead.

My name is Mark Pita.

When that call came in,

I took the role
of incident commander.

There's steep wooded terrain,

and there's no place
in that immediate vicinity

to land a helicopter,

and it was already getting dark.

We were going to have to
go in by ground

and make an assessment.

I got to the trailhead
about 6:15.

My primary concern was finding
where the patient was quickly.

‐ It wasn't an easy place
to get to.

I'd never been in that area.

I couldn't see
because it was dark.

I'd only been hiking 30 minutes
when I heard radio traffic.

Henthorn was performing CPR.

It made me realize that this was

probably not going to have
a good ending.

I was very thankful
when the moon came out,

silhouetted the ridge,

so I was able to vector in
on their location.

As I got closer, I started
blowing my whistle,

and Henthorn also had a whistle,
and he responded.

As I approached him,
Henthorn went over

and started performing CPR
on Toni.

She was laying on her back,
and her head was wrapped.

It was obvious
she had a head wound.

Her eyes were partially open,

and I evaluated her
for a pulse and respirations.

I told Harold, "I'm sorry,
but she's gone."

And Harold said,
"I think so, too."

And he seemed emotional to me.

I told him that
he would hike down with me

and a couple people would spend
the night with Toni's body,

and he agreed.

I thought at that time, it was
just what 99% of them are,

is just a tragic accident.

‐ Park Rangers
recovering the body

of a woman who fell to her death

while hiking
in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Authorities say the victim
was from Littleton,

that she was in her 50s.

She'd been hiking in the area
with a family member.

‐ Now we have
a fatality investigation

we have to conduct.

And the first thing I want to do
is document the scene.

My name is Paul Larson.

I was the lead
field investigator

for that Henthorn fatality,

which means I document
the scene, you know,

take a lot of pictures,
maybe take some measurements.

There's a tree that,
on one side,

the branches had been kind of
knocked off or broken off.

I call it the impact tree.

You can see that was in a place
where I imagine

Toni probably impacted
as she fell to the ground.

There were small things
that didn't totally add up.

It was an obscure area -

it's not a place where I would
expect your average hiker

to just happen across,

because it was just so steep.

I noticed there's a shoe that
was there, an untied boot.

Usually,
in the course of a fall,

shoes tend not to
untie themselves.

Her backpack was very close
to her body,

and also her camera.

I would think either it would be
up at the impact area

or off somewhere else, you know,
after falling down a cliff,

just not necessarily
right where she was.

So I knew that the camera
was important,

and it was something
that I decided

to take to pass off
to Ranger Faherty.

That day,
I tied in with a Ranger

who was inventorying
Harold Henthorn's vehicle,

and she found a map
in the vehicle,

thought the map was strange.

It was a park map, and it had
curious drawings on it.

Deer Ridge Trail
was highlighted.

Below Deer Ridge Trail was
written the word "hike"

with an "X" circled,

and then above the Deer Ridge
highlighted trail

was a highlighted "X."

And that was really curious

because it was right
about the location

where Toni had died,

so I seized it as evidence.

It was pretty obvious

something that's going to
require this much investigation

is probably going to
go over to ISB.

The Investigative
Services Branch, known as ISB,

investigates
complicated felony crimes.

If it happens
in a national park,

we can investigate it.

The National Park Service

has over 400 units
across the country,

and, by and large,
they are incredibly safe places.

But when you have millions
and millions of visitors

coming through every year,

crime will happen.

And in national parks,
there are certain crimes

that, if they're committed,

become federal offenses
no matter what.

And these agents need to
be able to do it all.

Wildlife crime,
crimes against people -

just amazing
where we can wind up

and what we can wind up doing.

So you truly never know.

And a lot of times,

we are physically
scrambling over rocks

and climbing to get to
certain areas.

I don't think everybody else
in the special agent world

is doing that.

We have huge areas to cover,

and there's only
about 34 agents.

My name's Beth Shott.

I'm a special agent with the
Investigative Services Branch.

We're the detectives
of the National Park Service.

Because ISB agents
are so far and few between,

I was an office of one agent.

So, Ranger Faherty called me

when he had some suspicion
about Toni's death.

He presented his information
that he had,

and I said,
"I think we've got a case."

Ranger Faherty
had made arrangements

to go to Harold Henthorn's house
and interview him,

'cause there's still a lot
of questions we need to ask.

When I got there,

he introduced me
to his daughter, Haley,

and then he took me
to the basement

and sat me down
at what I guess was his office.

One of the things
I had brought with me

was a memory card
from Toni's camera,

and I showed him some of
the pictures off the camera,

and he acted upset.

He said, "That's my wife, Mark.
That's my wife,"

as he looked
at pictures of Toni.

Harold told me that
when the fall happened,

she was walking rapidly
toward the edge of the cliff.

He said he didn't witness it.

He was preoccupied with his
phone and receiving a text

that said Haley had won
a soccer game.

When I asked to see the text,
he showed me,

and it said that the text
had been received at 5:54.

He noted the time -
he said, "Oh, that's 5:54."

And we realized
that the text message came in

at the same time
that he called 911.

And he told Mark it took him
about 45 minutes

to get down to the bottom of
the cliff where Toni's body was,

and then he called 911.

We know that when he called 911

and when that text message
came in,

and those don't match up
to his story.

And then I got the map

that a Ranger
had found in his vehicle

and said,
"Well, what about this?"

And that was like the first time
in the interview

Henthorn didn't seem to have
any words.

‐ This is a copy of the map
found in the car.

That's the "X,"
and it's - it's eerily near

where Toni's body
was discovered.

"Why were you there?
Why is the 'X' on this map?"

And he didn't have an answer
for it. He seemed taken aback.

I think, at that point,

he pretty much
just wanted me gone.

He never returned
any of my calls after that.

So all of those things,
which we call the Spidey Sense

so to speak,

all these red flags are what
triggered Mark to - to believe

that there was something more
to this story.

We didn't really know
what we had.

We just knew that everything
didn't sound right.

And there was a really key
piece of evidence.

Toni's camera was destroyed,

but the SD card
was still intact.

We were able to look
at the photos,

and these pictures
are very important to us

'cause these are the last
moments of Toni Henthorn's life.

Within days of
getting involved in this case,

I talked to Toni's family,
the Bertolets,

and they gave me insight
into Toni.

We discussed how they learned
about Toni's death

and what they heard that night.

I had just sat down,
it was around 7:00,

and I look over,

the phone's ringing,
and it's my brother.

And my brother said, you know,
"Toni's been in an accident.

There's an ongoing rescue,
but, you know,

from what I'm hearing," he said,

"I don't think
she's going to make it."

My wife, Rhonda,
heard me talking

and she knew it was serious.

"Oh, what's going on?
What's going on?"

And I told her, I said,
"Well, Barry wants us

to go down
and prepare Mom and Daddy."

‐ The first call we got
from Barry,

he said that Toni
had an accident

and she was in serious condition
and it didn't look good.

Of course, we prayed that God
would intervene and save Toni.

And then he called back

and said that she -
she was gone.

Three horrible words.

‐ We're on my childhood street
in Vidalia, Louisiana.

This is the old homestead.

My mom and dad and Toni
and my brother Barry,

we moved here in 1965.

My dad was a geologist
in the oil business

and had several discoveries,

and we got to the point where
we were a whole lot better off

towards the end
than at the beginning.

My name is Caleb Hannan.

I'm an investigative reporter
in Denver, Colorado.

Toni Henthorn came from
a lot of money.

Her family's done very well
in the oil and gas business.

Her family wasn't old money,

but they very quickly
became part of the money crowd,

but, to their credit, kind of
never lost the work ethic

and the ability
to see the other side.

Toni could make the most
of just about anything.

If she wanted to be
a great musician,

she could be a great musician.

If she wanted to be
a great student,

she could be a great student.

If she wanted to be
a good athlete,

she could be a great athlete.

Toni always wanted to be
a medical doctor.

She felt like ophthalmology
would basically allow her

to do what she loved

and give her some downtime
and some family time.

She was married pretty young -

someone she had met
in medical school.

He was a dentist.

‐ But ultimately,
it ended up in a divorce,

and to have a failed marriage
and have that disappointment,

I don't think she ever
really accepted that.

She clearly viewed
giving up on the marriage

as something shameful.

Toni.

So I think after Toni's divorce,

she kept herself extremely busy.

She was always working.

She had a practice in Jackson

and one in
Vicksburg, Mississippi.

She had built that practice up
to a point

that it was - finally
had turned the corner

and it was profitable.

Toni was driven, smart,
compassionate.

She threw herself
into her church, First Baptist,

where she sang soprano
in the choir,

but also where she counseled
young professionals

in kind of a Sunday school
for adults.

My name is Allison Talley,

and Toni Bertolet was one of
my very closest friends.

Although Toni never outright
told everybody,

"I want to get married,
and I want to get married

as soon as possible,"
we all knew that she wanted to.

The clock, unfortunately,

was ticking for her.

The divorce had set her back,

and she wasn't meeting
the kind of people

she apparently wanted to meet
in Mississippi.

I was pretty shocked one day

when Toni and I were having
a conversation

and she just outright said,
"I met a guy online,

this guy named Harold."

When he was wooing her online,

some of the things
that they talked about

was that they both
wanted children.

It's a Christian dating site,
so they were both Christian.

He said all the right things
to her, I believe.

I think he knew he was
in for an interview with us,

so he made the most of that.

First impressions are his thing,

and he makes good
first impressions.

Harold presents himself
at this point in his life

as an independent fundraiser
for nonprofits,

specifically churches
and hospitals

which have a religious bearing.

And if you'd just met him,
you already know

that he has made himself
a fortune doing this.

I'm Rhonda Bertolet,

and I'm married to
Todd Bertolet,

and Toni is my sister‐in‐law.

My first impression of Harold
was

he seemed very excited

and always very kind of
exuberant in his mannerisms.

‐ Wow!
Beautiful artwork.

Talked very loud,
talked very fast.

Always felt like
he was trying to impress me.

He's almost kind of like
a used car salesman.

Harold is great

because Harold's told us
how great he is.

But you go along with it

because you want something good
to happen to your sister.

And shortly after that,
they told us they were engaged,

and we couldn't have been
happier for her

for finding someone,

even though it was Harold
and he was different.

‐ What was concerning
is how quickly

everything kind of progressed.

They got engaged in February,

they got married in September.

They didn't see each other
but six or seven times

during that whole period.

‐ Merry Christmas, everybody.

And there's the groom.

Here we go.
One, two, right here.

Bingo. Alright.

‐ Alright.

‐ The wedding day for Toni
and Harold was just beautiful.

Toni was just stunning.

Yeah, it was a very happy event.

Huge church wedding,
beautiful decor,

the flowers,
the food, the dresses.

It was a class act.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Henthorn.

So, at that point,
there's a little comfort

setting in
with myself and Rhonda

that maybe this is
the right thing to happen.

‐ So, Harold and Toni, two years
after they get married,

are leaving Mississippi.

It's so pretty, isn't it?

Apparently, he always
wanted to go to Colorado.

He always wanted
to bring Toni there

and away from her family
and her friends

and her practice and her church.

So she sold her practice
in Mississippi,

and they both relocate
to Colorado

and an upscale neighborhood
called Highlands Ranch.

They wanted children
right away, both of them did.

She was in her mid‐40s when
she got pregnant with Haley,

so she got her dream.

‐ That's right. We will.
We promised.

From the outside looking
in, Toni and Harold's marriage

looked ideal.

It certainly looks like
the perfect life.

‐ We love you.
‐ We love you.

‐ We love you.

‐
We love you.

We're at where Toni worked.

She was a partner
in this business.

Ranger Mark Faherty and I
made an arrangement

to come down
and interview the staff.

What Harold had told
Mark Faherty

was that it was their


and he had planned
the surprise trip for Toni

with her coworkers.

Then we made a dummy
schedule for the afternoon.

We thought this was,
"Oh, what a nice guy

to do this for her.
She deserves it."

And so he showed up
at the office,

and so then we made him
look like a patient

and put him
in one of the rooms.

And we took my phone
to videotape it,

because we thought this was
going to be a neat thing.

She went into the room
and was shocked,

like, "What are you doing here?"

When I saw the video,

Toni just looked more bewildered

than, like, happy and ecstatic.

I think she was probably like,

"I don't want that surprise."

When you see the video today,

you don't see that happy person
that's, like, excited to go.

Toni, of course, was surprised.

She was taken aback,

and Harold had
a little go bag for her,

and he said, "Come on."

He had a nanny come
and take care of Haley,

and they left from here
up to Estes Park.

We have some photos from
his cellphone and her camera

that re‐creates their trip
up there.

And photographs
that we recovered

showed us exactly
where they were.

And this photo is one
of the last photos

that we have
prior to Toni's death.

You can see that Harold's
standing right on a ledge here,

and his hand is gripped tightly
to this tree.

We have another photo from her
camera about 15 minutes later.

It's the exact same photo, but
he's wearing a blue denim shirt.

And then there were
two deleted photos

that we were able to recover

that were pictures
of him standing up there.

Why are there so many of them,

and why are they


‐ So, Harold's story to Mark
was that they were coming up

on their 12th‐year anniversary,

and it was going to be
a romantic weekend.

They went to Estes Park,
stayed at the Stanley,

which is a beautiful old hotel.

So we had pictures
from the night before,

and then the next day,
they have breakfast,

they pick up
a couple sandwiches,

and then they go on the hike.

This is where Harold and Toni
went on September 29th.

We're at
Rocky Mountain National Park

in the hike
called Deer Mountain.

Deer Mountain goes from
about 8,700 feet

to up around 10,000 feet.

It's about three miles
up to the peak.

Most of Rocky Mountain
National Park is wilderness,

and so these remote locations

can be incredibly difficult
to get to.

You have to have
a certain level of fitness.

My background is not
in law enforcement.

I grew up on the East Coast
wanting to be an artist.

My dad had taken us hiking and
camping when we were younger.

I used to go rock climbing
with my brother.

I remember distinctly
having a conversation

with someone at one point -
"You know, I'd just love to

get a job where I work outside."

So I started applying for jobs
with the National Park Service,

and my first job was working on

the north rim
of the Grand Canyon.

And 27 years later,

I'm still working
for the National Park Service.

When Mark Faherty interviewed
Harold Henthorn,

Harold told him that they got
a late start that day.

They probably started their hike
sometime after 2:00.

It's not a super long hike,

but that's a little bit late
to be starting a hike

when sun sets around 6:00.

They took pictures,

and we were able to
look at the photos

and re‐create from that photo
exactly where they were.

This spot is where we actually
have a photo of Toni.

She's standing in this
aspen grove. She's very pretty.

She's wearing makeup
and looking quite happy.

What Harold had told Mark

was they hiked up
'til the trail plateaued.

They wanted to get off the trail
for some privacy,

and if you look around you,

you can walk 100 yards
off the trail

and nobody would know
you were there.

They wouldn't have had to have
gone very far.

When we re‐created their steps,

there's no trail where
Toni and Harold had lunch.

It's not cleared in any way,

and it's pretty difficult
hiking.

There's absolutely no reason
that you would think

there's a scenic view

just a quarter mile
off the trail

unless you had
scouted it before.

We were actually able
to determine that this is indeed

where they did have lunch.

That was a very distinct
rock feature

with a very distinct dead tree
in the photos.

And there's a photo
of Toni and Harold

sitting right where
I'm standing.

So we were able to actually
put them in this place exactly.

The lunch spot
is a very beautiful spot,

and there's really no reason
to go any further.

However, they go further.

What's incongruous to us

is why they ended up
where Toni fell from.

I asked him, "Well, why
did you down to that spot

where Toni fell?"

And he said, "Well,
Toni had seen turkeys,"

gone down to investigate.

I was like, "Turkeys? Really?"

Wasn't even aware turkeys would
be in that kind of environment.

When I questioned that, he said,

"Well, I don't know about
turkeys, but definitely deer."

And then it was, "Well, we went
down there for a romantic time."

In order to get down
to that cliff,

you have to go down
this 60‐degree boulder field.

It's an incredibly
hard‐to‐get‐to spot.

You'd have to know
this spot was here.

It's a dangerous place to be,
especially for somebody

who is not a major hiker,
who has knee issues.

She was going to have to
hike back up.

Toni had played sports
in high school.

She had two knee surgeries.

And so, it's not something

that you would want to do

on, supposedly,
your anniversary -

go on this extreme hike to these
very rocky, very steep areas.

That didn't make sense to us.

There's no reason
for anybody to go down there

unless you want to
push someone from a cliff.

We know that this is
the spot that they stopped

because there are several photos
of Harold Henthorn

standing right on that ledge

with this death grip
on this tree,

because it's a sheer drop
on the other side of him.


another picture of him,

identical, but he's wearing
a blue denim shirt.

Why did they take the same photo


And why is he standing
on this ledge

when the view is identical

if he wasn't standing
on the ledge?

One of our working theories

was that he was trying to
lure Toni up there.

"Look, it's safe.
Come on, step up,

and I'll take
a picture of you up here."

And right below this tree is
where Toni's body was recovered.

This is 160 feet.
This is where Toni fell.

So, we're almost halfway down
the cliff where Toni fell from,

and right behind me is sort of
an outcrop on that cliff

where one of Toni's boots
was recovered.

And then over there is the tree

that she fell into.

And we know that she fell
into that tree

because we were able to see
a freshly broken branch,

but also some evidence,
some hair and some blood.

As you look up,
you can see the tree

that Harold was hanging onto
in the photo.

Her body was recovered
almost directly below that.

We know that Harold did
drag her from this spot

because there was
a pool of blood

about 8 feet away
in the dirt over there,

and then over the rocks,
there was a trail of blood

leading down
to where Toni was located.

I talked to the coroner
as an investigator,

so he provided me
with the photos

that he took from the scene,
also from the autopsy.

This is the case file on Toni.

It has the autopsy report in it.

It has my notes and drawings
in it.

She had what we call
multiple blunt‐force injuries.

She kind of tumbled
down the rock face.

And you see injuries
to the extremities

and to the head
because it's tumbling.

She had abrasions
of her forehead,

and she had a large laceration,

or tearing injury,
to the top of her head,

to the scalp,

so it was almost
a scalping‐type injury

on the top of her head.

‐ My initial reaction when I saw
the autopsy photos

was how big her head wound was.

I was shocked.

She would have bled a lot,

and for Harold not to say
"She's bleeding profusely,"

there's something wrong
with that.

The other thing
that struck me, though,

is one of her impacts was enough

that it actually crushed
her ribs and crushed her lungs.

It's a hard way to think
of a loved one dying.

My only hope was that
she wasn't conscious very long.

So, Toni's body is lying here -

her head's here,
her feet are here.

Over here, and you can almost
see some remains of,

he built a fire.

He said it was a signal fire,

but that's not really going to
signal to anybody.

There's a lot of things here
that don't add up.

‐ He said he was doing CPR
the whole time.

If he had been
doing mouth to mouth,

that lipstick would have been
smeared more around her face.

‐ And that was very suspicious.

Ranger Faherty came down
and met with me at my office,

and our first step
was to go over what he had

and then start making a plan
of, what do we want?

We want his cellphone records.

One of the things that really
triggered Mark

was Harold's story that they
stopped at this cliff ledge

and that he received
a text message from his nanny

saying that his daughter
had just won a soccer game

and that, out of the corner
of his eye,

he looked up, and Toni was gone.

Very specific moment in time.

And Mark said, "Can I see
all of the text messages

that you received that day?"

And Harold's like,
"No, I can't do that."

Mark and I recognize
we need that information.

We need to know
what was on his phone.

We need to see
those text messages,

especially because
he had gotten rid of that phone.

He knew he was under suspicion

and that there was
an investigation against him.

So, around 5:55,
Harold dials 911,

and the dispatchers
start working with him

to try to get him help.

And he keeps hanging up on them.

He says, "My battery -
my cell battery is low.

I'm going to hang up on you."

He then subsequently starts
making more phone calls.

He calls Barry Bertolet,
Toni Henthorn's brother.

He is a surgeon, so he texts
back and forth with Harold

during the whole incident.

And his text is that Toni
has fallen from a cliff,

it's critical,
Rangers are on their way.

Here's her respirations,
and here's her pulse.

Harold never says she's got
a massive head wound,

never says that she's
bleeding out - none of that -

just that she fell
and is unconscious.

‐ Harold said he did CPR
from the whole time

that the 911 call came in

to when the Park Service
got there.

‐ I personally have done CPR,

and I know
that it's a very messy process.

When I saw the photos of Toni,

her lipstick
was very much intact

and not smudged,
and that was very suspicious.

‐ In addition,
while he was doing the CPR,

he started a fire -

not a big, significant fire,

but to start a fire, it takes
a little bit of time.

You got to gather
a little bit firewood.

You're not doing CPR
while that's happening.

‐ So, Harold's texting
with Barry

while he's allegedly
helping his wife,

while he's building a fire,

and telling people that Toni
has fallen from a cliff.

Harold told a lot of
different stories,

and it appeared
that he lied a lot.

I guess
it was about 10:00 at night.

We got a text from Harold -

"Toni's been hurt.
She's critical." Uh...

"Please pray."

There was one more text that
followed, and it said,

"My bride is gone."

Just was inconceivable.

We just couldn't -
We just couldn't believe it.

And Harold took us

down the long stairs
to the basement

and shut the door,

so we were down in the basement,

just the three of us, alone.

And I thought, "Wow."

He just seemed kind of together

for having gone through
what he went through.

‐ No tears, no sign
that he had been crying.

No, you know, struggling with
his voice to get the words out.

This is not
a normal grieving husband.

That's when I felt
like something's not right here.

‐ Harold called me and asked me
to officiate

the memorial service for Toni,

and I agreed to do that.

He had this service
entirely planned.

He'd already put together
a video montage of Toni.

‐ Somehow, in the 36 hours

since he was in this cold,
dark place

next to his dead wife,

he's put this together.

It felt like, to me,

that he had been planning this
for a while.

In the hours and days
after Toni's death,

everyone's watching Harold.

Everyone trying to figure out
how he's behaving,

and he is, for the most part,

showing no signs
of what you would expect.

How can it not
put your antenna up?

We arrive in Denver,

and the whole time,
you never saw him cry.

He never said, you know,
"I loved your sister," you know,

that - never heard
any of that kind of thing

out of him the entire time
that we were there.

I think of all
the things that the Bertolets

were sort of shocked by

when they came out to Colorado

on a moment's notice,

the first was that
Harold was adamant

that Toni wanted to be cremated.

That was the first time
we had heard anything like that.

He goes, "Well, you know
Toni wanted to be cremated."

No, we didn't know that.

This is the first time
I've ever heard it.

Toni's funeral
is the ultimate chance

for Harold to kind of control
the narrative.

And what Harold chooses to do
that moment is pretty telling.

Everybody notices,
the Bertolets especially,

where everyone's sitting
at the funeral.

They're brought in,
they're seated

away from
the rest of the family.

Harold is one of the last people
escorted in.

You know, I'm all the way
positioned at the back,

because everything
was planned out,

just like Harold always does.

Everyone experiences
some feeling of deep discomfort,

that this isn't right.

And that extends
to the slide show, too,

because one of the first people
Harold contacted

the day after Toni died

was the photographer

to create the slide show
for her funeral.

And she's expecting
some loose collection

of photos over the years.

And that's not what she gets.

What she gets are


Somehow, in the 36 hours

since he was in this cold,
dark place

next to his dead wife,

he's put this together.

‐ Harold had created a video
story of her life in pictures,

and he was in all of them.

It was like Toni's life started

when she got married to Harold,

and I thought, "How insulting
and hurtful to Toni's family."

We talked to other people
who were at the service,

and other people remarked on
sort of how bizarre it was,

and Harold didn't appear really
to cry or to be mourning

and he didn't
say any nice things about Toni,

that he was more angry
that there was an investigation.

And, in fact, at one point,
he said to somebody,

"Toni had to go and get herself
k*lled on federal lands."

And then the park received
a letter about his first wife.

Harold's first wife tragically
died in an accident -

deemed an accident
at that time - in 1995.

There were so many similarities

between the death
of these two women.

The similarities are too eerie
to ignore.
