He physically hit her. It was multiple [music] like punches. I just saw over her body she had bruises all over her body. He had threw her on the floor. [music] This is 18-year-old Sarah and her brother, 17-year-old [music] Amir Sandoval. And in just a few seconds, detectives are about to deliver information [music] they've been carefully holding back. Their mother, 39-year-old Sherine [music] Aljabouri, is dead. You're very strong, you are. Sorry. It's over here for okay? Your sister loves you. She's here for [music] you. Go ahead and cry. But what they would learn was that the person who did to her was no stranger. It was their 57-year-old [music] father, Oscar Rene Sandoval, and he's on the run. Over the next few days, [music] these teenagers would do everything to help track their father, pulling them into an investigation [music] no family should ever experience. There was a possibility that she was pregnant. >> [music] >> She told me that she was 2 months pregnant. She's leaking blood really bad now. Yeah, it's coming from the lungs probably. If your mom wanted the abortion, your dad did not want it. Yeah. Okay. 911 emergency. Hi, yes, I'm a dispatcher in Mexico. A man near Zia Middle School got out of a car and just shot a lady and I witnessed it. She was in the vehicle, she got out and he shot her. She was running. She's barefooted and I'm covered in blood right now. The first responding officers were at the scene within 5 minutes, >> [music] >> but Sherine had already taken her last breaths. How many casings you see? Looks like there's at least three at the moment. >> Three? Okay. >> [music] >> Yeah. Right here and here. Are all lined up? Pretty much lined up, yeah. >> [music] >> And I think the shirt might also show some of that. >> Okay. >> [music] >> Okay, see if there's anything here. In your hand. And so here. There's one right there. [music] Okay, there's one right there and one there. These are the three. So, let's see if we can match them up right where they were. [music] This one's hard to match. And these were the Unfortunately, it's because the third is [music] a little hard to see, but there's definitely one here. Let's see if I can move my finger to it. One there. See the purple from there? Yeah, over here. >> [music] >> Almost, yeah. There you go. That's the first one. Next [music] one is in the lower. There's a little bit of blood on here, right here. See that's the second one. Third casing, what did you [music] say? Shotgun? Right there is some tissue. I'm not sure. She's um leaking blood [music] really bad now. Okay. Yeah, it's coming from the lungs probably. Yeah. There's a bullet casing possibly in the tissue. >> [music] >> So, it's a total of five rounds. With the five bullets, no uncertainty left. [music] She's dead and it wasn't an accident. With the witnesses' statement, they knew exactly what happened here, but the proof was needed to support it. >> [music] >> Because almost immediately, detectives understand this is a homicide that will have to stand on evidence [music] alone. And almost right away, that becomes a problem. The woman had no identifying documents on her, no wallet, no ID, nothing that could quickly tell them who she was or how she ended up here. So, they slowed down and began documenting everything [music] that could possibly be used as an identifier. Take that camera off the tripod so we can take a photo of the driver. >> [music] >> You take a photo of her and with the ring, she'll probably be identified. So, she had some work done? Can you see if she had some work done? Oh, yeah. Yep. As the scene continued to come together, it became clear this wasn't a random act of violence. [music] The evidence pointed to something far more personal. She was wearing that blouse. You guys have EMS coming? You know, this this She's a dump profession. Yeah, but I think she looks like somebody who carry a [music] purse. Yeah, that's what That purse would most likely be in that vehicle. The shooter took the purse with him and even though the area was remote, the witness was able to get a good look at him before he fled with the vehicle. He ran with her phone without realizing [music] that choice would undo everything. That night, Sherine's daughter Sarah got in touch with the detectives. She had access to her mother's location services, leading her directly to the crime scene. And so, after the shots were fired, it showed the phone heading south before unexpectedly turning off. By morning, physical evidence began backing up what the digital trail already suggested. >> [music] >> Okay, hold on, guys. Get off the Get off the dirt. There's some tire tracks here that we need to uh take photos of. Let's see. I know there's some over here, too. The tire tracks on the crime scene matched the car Sarah's father, Oscar, was driving that night and [music] the last location from her phone. Surveillance cameras from a nearby gas station filled in the rest. It caught Oscar [music] fleeing the area. The police tracked down the vehicle, abandoned a few minutes' walk away from the Mexican border. Inside, they found Sherine's purse [music] and phone, but Oscar himself was still missing. It's now been over 24 hours since Sherine was killed [music] and investigators still don't know where Oscar is. All they have is his car, abandoned at the Mexican border. After that, the trail disappears. With no vehicle to follow, detectives are forced to [music] change their approach. That morning, they met with Sarah, hoping she could help them understand [music] where Oscar might have gone next. So, I know what happened to her. Not exactly. And is um are they like actively working on looking for him? Because I have a feeling that he did flee to Mexico. To Mexico? Yeah, cuz um where we found the car parked, it was like right there and like right there. Like like you could just walk over because I don't think there was anybody Has he um has he ever fled to Mexico before, gone to Mexico? Um Have family, anything like that? When he was living in California, whenever he committed crimes, he would flee to Mexico. [music] Okay. Does he have family or any ties over there? Or he's just going to kind of run away? He has family there, but I think all of them are dead. I don't know if he would I don't know if he would go out This not being the first time Oscar crossed the border like [music] this means he knew exactly how to disappear in Mexico. And what Sarah shared next made it clear that Oscar was actually one step ahead this entire time. Right before he left, he uh coincidentally gave my brother all his car titles. And on our town [music] on our one of our couches, he had everything there just keeping everything in my brother's name. He admitted my dad legally he can't have guns cuz he's wanted and he never keeps guns [music] in the car. I know he has two guns, but he never keeps guns in the car and that's the one time that was there. All six three. Were they Were they like fighting or anything yesterday morning? >> I don't live at the house anymore [music] because of the issues that they've been having. They've been fighting for the last 2 months and I my dad ended up kicking me out because of it. So, yeah, they've been having a lot of problems. Sarah was coming to terms with the fact that her father had made a choice that destroyed their entire family. But to get closure, she needed to see Oscar face to [music] face. I know you guys are looking for um a missing person. A missing person? Yeah. For my dad. Not that I know of. What she didn't know yet was that while she was asking that question, the Mesilla Marshal's Office was already coordinating with authorities in Mexico and 48 hours into the search, he'd finally been spotted in Mexico. at a CVS in El Paso just the night before last. Uh-huh. So, we're interviewing him to see what other [music] information that he can give as well as who sent money to the target cuz somebody sent him money. Oh, okay. So, he is being held? I'm sorry? He is being held. [music] Yes. So, but he is being held. Okay. And the guy that you're interviewing is He is one of the workers. Uh-huh. So, he's I guess another one of the workers that um Sandoval requested assistance from. So, what he's what we've gathered so far is that Sandoval showed up at his house walking and told him that his truck broke down and that, you know, he needed a ride. >> CVS in Sunland? Um So, they came over to CVS. [music] Um money was sent like wired from somebody. Um And then the worker pulled the money out for him because Sandoval said, "I don't have my ID or anything, so I need you to get the money [music] for me." At this point, Oscar was on his way deeper into Mexico, believing he'd outsmarted the police. His name hadn't spread, his [music] face wasn't circulating. To the outside world, he was just another man crossing cities [music] with a little cash and no questions asked. So, he thought he was safe, but he was wrong. So, we're here at the CVS now obtaining camera footage of him and also [music] getting the information on who sent the money. Uh-huh. And it looks like a relative out of California sent Sandoval the money. That's why the phone calls to California. While marshals in Mexico narrowed in on his movements and the mysterious money transfer, detectives in Mesilla focused on something just as important, understanding Oscar's motive. So, while their oldest son, Ethan, who worked with Oscar, tried to help the police track Oscar through their shared contacts, the younger two, Sarah and Amir, sat down with the detectives. And as this conversation progressed, it became clear that all of this didn't start with Sherin's murder. It ended there. How has your family life been? Starting when you were little all the way up to present. Um well, I mean it's always been pretty rocky, honestly. My parents [music] have from the start always had problems and fights and arguments and stuff like that. I mean, sometimes they'd get along and um mostly for the sake of us and Yeah. And yeah, it's just always been like um pretty um rocky like up and down. Would you say they had a that it wasn't a happy marriage? You know, not at all. >> Did your mom ever share any of that with you? Yeah, she did. Okay, what did she tell you? Um she would just tell me that she um didn't want to be with him, but um she was with him for the sake of us like from the start. Like she [music] um was just doing her best to make things work cuz [music] um they had kids together. They had Cuz they had kids together. Okay. [snorts] All three of you, [music] huh? Yeah. When did she start sharing that with you? Early on, honestly. I think it was um >> [music] >> like when we moved into the house that my dad built. I I think I was like really young. Okay, so when you all lived in the mobile home, how [music] old did you think the marriage was? Um I think it was probably better than I mean, they would have some pretty intense fights at times. But um I think it [music] was probably better than we were also young, so it probably seemed better at the time cuz we didn't know what was going on or anything that was going on. Okay. But yeah. Okay, so um how old were you when you started noticing that they were having arguments and stuff like that? Honestly, when I was like really young. I mean, [music] there was a few times that my my dad has put his hands on my mom. The two were in an extremely toxic marriage, and Oscar made no attempts to shelter his kids from it. How about you, Amir? When you were young, did you see that, too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. What what is it you saw? When starting when you were young. Oh, like from the jump like just them arguing and literally like my dad like laying hands on my mom. And of course, I couldn't do anything about it cuz I'm like this little kid just seeing it, but yeah, I mean, same here, but then yeah. Okay, so from when you were little to now, was this constant? Uh it stopped for a while, but the arguments didn't stop, of course. Um back like in quarantine, my mom and him got into like a dumb argument and my dad got pissed about it and like like he put hands on my mom. And after that, that was the last time. And then of course, well now >> [music] >> well, you know what he did. Okay. Now that you're you were getting older, um did you try to intervene if he laid hands on your mom? Oh yeah, most definitely. And especially after like when my mom like when she was back from Michigan, like like I knew from the jump like if he were to do something like you always like there's no holding back. >> [music] >> Like like it was just So, did you ever have a physical fight with your dad to protect your mom? >> For me, no. Okay, but did you ever protect your mom by verbally Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, did you try to stand in front of her to protect >> Yes, sir. Okay, how about you, brother? Um my brother do the same thing and yeah, I know for sure that like if my like dad like like before the incident like when my mom came back, if he were to lay hands like it's just me and him versus our dad, of course. It's just there's like like I said, there's just no holding back. Okay. [music] An average child would be distraught trying to piece together all of this, but these kids have lived a very traumatizing life. One where their mother wasn't the only victim. So, did your dad ever um hit any of you, you or your brother? Uh yeah, for disciplinary reasons. Okay. And when [music] did it Did it start when you were you were little? Yeah, yeah, of course. >> All the way up to now? Um he actually he stopped cuz I mean, we got older, so there's like there's no point of like him doing it, so he he stopped. This was their reality >> [music] >> every day. The children were too young to escape this life on their own, and Oscar made sure to alienate the whole from their entire extended family over the last two decades, so they had no support system to turn to. They were all trapped. Did that ever happen in front of you where he did uh physically Yeah, I mean, when we were when we were babies, um my dad had punched my mom in the face while we were in his lap. I was in her lap, so. Okay. While you were in her lap? >> Yeah, like us two were like um in her lap like and he How how old were you then? Um younger than five. And you and you've always remembered that. It's [music] something hard to forget. Now as you were getting older, did you see and intervene? Um yeah, I remember this one time um in the house that my dad built. Um yeah, they were in the kitchen. They were arguing. And I don't know, at the time the things were pretty bad and um you know, my dad was like planning [music] like some sort of legal something cuz he would like he would record all the fights and conversations and stuff. >> He did? Yeah. With what? I think with his phone he would record the fights um so he could do something legal. He never ended up doing anything with it, but he had plans of it. Um and yeah, they had gotten to a fight and then um my dad had pushed her in the kitchen [music] and um started beating her and then um You were present? Yeah, I was I was there and um >> [music] >> we yeah, we were I was yelling at him and How old were you then? Uh I was probably like 14. Okay. Okay. He physically hit her? Mhm. Was it like just a quick one or constant? Well, that time he um it was multiple like punches. And where did he hit her? Um I [music] just saw over her body. She had uh bruises all over her body. In the face, too? Yeah, and he he had threw her on the floor. So. Okay. And did your mom try to fight back? Uh yeah, she did. She was mostly just trying to protect herself and um like just like covering herself and stuff like that. And the system [music] that should have been there to protect Sherin was used as a weapon against her. Was the police ever called then? >> [music] >> No. Okay. Any reason why? Mainly because my mom like since when we were younger, uh my dad actually like called the cops on her and like said like that he hit her and stuff and she went to jail for and since my mom's an immigrant, like now like because she had a record like she couldn't get her ID and if they were to call the cops, well, you know, she would have probably went back Did he call the cops on her? Yeah. So, [snorts] that's I mean, there's a lot >> kind of why they held back from calling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Now, he called the the cops at one time, right? Yeah, we were late. Well, I don't even think I was born at the time. Oh, okay. Okay. And and she had gotten arrested for that. Okay. And um so since then, she herself would avoid calling, right? Yeah. Police because of the Mhm. Okay. Uh Okay, so your your mom wasn't uh never went to get a US US citizenship. She had a green card, but she didn't have her um citizen like her Okay. Oscar understood the imbalance. As a US citizen, he knew exactly how much power he held. And as an immigrant, Sherin knew how easily that power could be turned on her. After that arrest, she understood something clearly. Leaving wouldn't be simple, and it wouldn't be safe. But there was another complication, one that made everything more urgent. Now, I understand uh this you know, that [music] there was a possibility that she was pregnant. She was pregnant. Um but she got she told me that she was 2 months pregnant and then the day that they had the abortion. What when did she tell you that she was pregnant? [snorts] I had some messages um Amir, were you aware of that? Yeah, it's cuz I remember the day of like when like she took the pregnancy test and like she told my dad, I wasn't supposed to find out, but I went to the restroom. Like I saw the pregnancy test, so I was like, okay. And I don't want my mom knowing, so I was like uh like I just kind of like played dumb. And then when she said like she was going to Albuquerque, like I was like, oh like like playing it off like, oh, what are you going for? She was like, oh, I like I just like I got to go to the doctor for something. And she didn't tell me, so like, okay, like I just like I don't want to let her know that I knew, so. You knew why? Yeah. Okay. She was planning on going to Albuquerque or she did go? No, yeah, she did go. Okay, who took her? My dad. Okay. And you you yourself didn't know uh didn't really know why. They never told you why, right? But you you suspected something. How about you? My dad was texting me throughout the day but I was at work. And my um over the like the last few weeks like my dad had been texting me every day, but cuz he was like trying to build a relationship, but I kind of didn't want anything to do with him, so I would just ignore the messages. Like he'd always be sending me like like TikToks, like father-daughter TikToks. And I just always ignored the messages, and so they were just normal for me to like just be ignoring the messages, so he was like he was texting me at work. I read them, but I didn't ignore I didn't um respond or anything. But he told me he's like, oh, your mom your mom might be pregnant and it's most likely going to be your sister. She is pregnant. I'm going to fight like heck for that baby like I did for you and Amir. I might need to support to fight [music] for the baby, too. Taking the baby's life would not be right. And then so he had called me and told me that my mom might be pregnant, [music] and he told me not to tell her that um that I that I knew that she might be pregnant. Those are text messages you got? No, those were it was a phone call. Like he told me that um, not to tell her anything that I might know. >> [music] >> So then later in the day my uh mom texted me at 11:00 at night and she's like um, that she had an emergency. And I was like, "What?" And then she sent me the pregnancy tests. And then and then she told me, "Oh, and there's no abortions in Texas. Oscar doesn't offer it either." And I was just like, "No way." And then she's like, "Only in Albuquerque." And I was like, "You're joking." And then she's like, "I swear to God I'm not." Um, and then she told me that she was going to call about the abortion. >> [music] >> And those are text messages? >> Yeah. Did you take a screenshot? Yeah, and then she told me that she was 2 months pregnant and then to like keep up that apparently that I didn't know. I just told her I was like, "Oh, just don't tell [music] Dad." And she's like, "No, well your dad wanted to keep that and I'm not keeping it for that." And then I told her I was like, "Yeah, don't keep it." Um, So your mom is the one who decided to have the abortion? [music] Yeah. So it was not by force? No, no. My mom wanted the abortion. And [music] did she say why? Uh, she just told me that like she just um, she [music] plans on leaving my dad soon. So she didn't want something like tie her down or anything. Oscar wanted to keep the baby. Bringing another life into the world [music] to traumatize, just like he did to the older children. But Sherine had already decided she didn't want [music] that. >> Your mom wanted the abortion. Your dad did not want it. No, my dad didn't want the abortion. >> yet he took her to the hospital. Yes, she did. Was there arguments about that? I don't think they actually argued about it. Um, yeah, I don't think it was I was actually a fight. I mean, [music] did you did they fight about it? No. No, I don't think they fought about it. Okay. >> [music] >> So I guess he agreed to go ahead and and let her have it. Yeah. While taking a break from talking about the case, the children began to break down. It doesn't make you less of a man, okay? To to talk about it and to get some help. Don't keep it all in cuz eventually it all blows up, kiddo. I'll tell you that. So, you're you're you're very [music] strong. You are. I know. It's all right. It's [music] what we're here for, okay? Let it out. It's good. Good to cry. What you're going through is not easy. Your sister loves you. She's here for you. And I know your brother loves you, too. >> [music] >> You guys are going to get through this all three together, okay? On April 9th, 5 days after this interview was recorded, Mexican authorities located and arrested Sandoval in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. >> [music] >> His friends, Lynn and Danny Peter, agreed to lure him under the pretense of giving him money, and he took the bait. While Oscar was being transported to the US, the detective sat down with both Lynn and Danny, and they revealed a side of Oscar no one else knew. Okay. And uh, so he you met him as a client. Yeah, he came in as a client. Okay. Uh, a roofer. Right. Yeah, right. Okay. And did he come see you as for spiritual advice or [music] roofing? No, spiritual advice. The things he wanted advice on were interesting, to say the least. Uh, I noticed that on your truck and your advertisement that you specialize in love. Love, everything. Okay. [music] So obviously that's pretty much what he was seeking advice from. >> He was seeking love. But he's been married he was married about 17 [music] or 18 years. His wife was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Mhm. You met her? I met her once. Okay. And was it there at your office or Oh, no. I just met her through passion? Yeah. Well, you know, the kids I practically raised his kids. Uh-huh. His uh, two boys and his girl. They always came to me. Like this. Now they're all So you watched them grow up? Yeah, I did. [music] But uh, his wife never came down. She's Arabic. >> Right. It's funny. You know what I mean? Mhm. Yeah. Okay. All right. Now, without getting too much in the love portion that he talked to you or anything. Uh, sounds to me that uh, it was more of a marital problem that he was [music] seeking advice from. Not really. He wanted to keep his wife, get a girlfriend, something like [music] that. You know, things like that. He said, "Well, she gets on my nerves, this and that." This is many, many years ago. Right, [music] right. He said, "I met a girl. What do you think?" You know, stuff like that. >> Mhm. Okay. But he used to come all the time. Okay. [music] You know, sit down, talk. He used to come over here for dinner. Not as a client, as a friend. As a friend. Okay. Finding his wife annoying and looking outside of the marriage were red flags on their own. But Linda noticed more than just [music] the things Oscar told her. Yours was really a nice guy. And I don't know how this happened because he he went out to California and I didn't hear from him for maybe 8 months. Before the incident? Yes. And then he came back and he looked different. He got muscles now, you know, he he said he was working out and everything. He looked so different. He came here with my husband. We're laughing, joking, stuff like that. But he he did look weird to me. Okay. In what way? Like he he wasn't really he said, "I hate everybody. This this this girl is driving me crazy." Stuff like that. But you know, I said, "Why don't you bring her over? Let's have a you know, a dinner or something." Mhm. Stuff like that. We're like that. Right, right. Yeah. He says, "Nah, my sons are mad at me." You know, even though he came back and he was here about 3 months when he came back before [music] all this happened. He just says, "I my daughter doesn't want to talk to me no more." Things like that. I said, "Oh, come on. You know your daughter loves you." Cuz she's a pretty beautiful little girl, [music] too. Okay. So did it sound like he was having a lot of marital problems? That I can't say cuz he came back for 3 months from he was away almost 8 months in California. Right. >> I said, "Where was you?" He said, "Well, I was working with my brother and stuff like that." And leading up to the months before the incident happened, Yeah. could you sense a lot of frustration towards his his wife or anything? Well, I didn't see his wife. You know that. >> Right. >> I told you I had only seen her one time and that was a long time ago. No, no. But him personally. Did you sense a lot of frustration? >> wanted to get another girlfriend, I think. Okay. >> Yeah. Did he want a divorce uh, his wife? No. That fantasy only worked in his head. And when Sherine's health became another inconvenience, his thinking grew darker. She used to get sick a lot and uh, That she did? He said uh, "What am I supposed to do?" I said, "Well, what you're supposed to do is if she gets sick and you got your kids and everything, get insurance on her." Mhm. Which is true. He said, "Insurance?" He didn't [music] even think about it. What kind of insurance? Life insurance. Life? Yeah. >> [music] >> I said, "Get life insurance." But she always used to go do her own thing, go talk this, that, [music] everything. She's gorgeous. This makes it clear that Sherine was just there because they had a family together and he wanted [music] someone to control. Otherwise, she was disposable. And Oscar did [music] just that. He disposed of her. But because he didn't plan well enough, he found himself on the other side of the border, completely broke. >> He came down to say he needed [music] some money. Mhm. I gave him a few hundred dollars. Did he say why he needed the money? He needed money for his food. Oh, okay. Yeah, he didn't have nothing on him. I don't know how what he did when he did what he did with his wife. He just took off and >> [music] >> everything. He lost his cars, he lost everything. He's got a lot of stuff all around. What Oscar didn't know was that by doing this, he set himself up to be arrested. He loves her as his mom. Uh, always very respectful. [music] Never harming. The only thing he's complained was his relationship. Mhm. Well, I said [music] the same thing. >> Never happy with his wife, you know, that that's common with people that come in here. Right. And that was going to be my question. So at what point from the time you met him Yes, sir. to when you started talking to him about his wife, did was there in that time did he complain of her [music] Well, his parts were he's just not happy. Okay. Basically that part. Not that he wanted to leave or anything. He always said that he loves her. Okay. [music] He's always said that he loves her very much. And I said, "Look, if you're married to one or you're married to the other one, excuse the expression, my dad [music] always said it if you turn them upside down they'll look like sisters. But basically that's where it was. Uh, no no hard offense, but I'm telling you truthfully that was uh, his [music] statement. Uh, you're not going to find anything better on the other side of of the road. So why keep hunting? Having a girlfriend or doing something, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe there is, maybe there [music] isn't. And instead of showing remorse, Oscar said the opposite of what Danny was expecting. He was more aggravated at his daughter. Okay. And the last thing that he mentioned was that [music] he believed that she should be killed and that she was killed and thrown in the dumpster. The wife. >> burned and thrown in the dumpster. [music] >> you said. The wife. His words were concerning already. But what the detectives learned from the Mexican marshals was far worse. Uh, before we go any further in that, Danny, I do need to let you uh, know that I think [music] you need to be concerned about, okay? Just to be aware. And that's kind of why I'm here, also. Uh, we got his jail calls starting from the day he got incarcerated to about 30 calls, okay? So we monitored them all. And in one of them, he's telling his sister-in-law and he's and she's like kind of asking him, "Well, what happened? He wouldn't talk about it. Uh, But he did Yeah, he just flat told her, he goes, >> [music] >> "Mark my words, okay? I want you to listen to this." What he did tell her was, >> [music] >> "I know that Danny is the one who gave me up." Oh, yeah, cuz he turned around when he was down and he looked at me and said, "Did you turn me in?" Yeah. And he did say that he goes, "I know he gave me gave me up." So, we need to give him 2,500. What? Okay. I've been in this business for 50 years, okay? So, pretty much what he was telling her, and she didn't And you could tell on the other side she didn't understand what he was talking about. That is a contract for you, okay? [music] For my husband to get killed? 2,500. He didn't come out and say it like that, because of course they're not going to do that, especially in jail. I understand. But he did tell her, "Danny's the one who turned me in, and we need to give him 2,500." So, that is code for a contract for you. [music] Now, even though Oscar was in jail, he still managed to put a hit out on Danny. In movies, this looks easy. In reality, it takes a lot of connections to pull this off. And for the authorities to be this worried about the situation, it had to be serious. >> My thing is is that um that's why I was asking anybody been around talking to you or anything suspicious. And and I know that, so um >> [music] >> now that that is out, and I want you to be aware of it, you need to really take care of yourself. Be careful. Well, you got me scared now. I'm sorry, but >> [music] >> No, I thank you for that, but you know, um Would you rather not say anything? >> I'll tell you about myself. The part of fear [music] has left me. I mean, I I should have been dead quite a few times with the stents in my heart. >> As we get older, it's like getting line. No, he just came out from a surgery. >> Oh, you know, I just had surgery and I'm I'm still under severe care because we're not sure this is going to work. But anyways, the reason why I mentioned that to you is not by being all tough guy No. >> and you know, we'll have firearms and I'll put them in all the doors or I got friends who or I have the marshal that's down Not a marshal, he's a He's a deputy [music] down here that's, you know, protecting. At this point, Danny couldn't fully understand just how dangerous Oscar was, >> [music] >> but he still remained cautious while he was being transferred to the US. This is the first time the US Marshals come face-to-face with Oscar Rene Sandoval, and he's calm, prepared. I'm sure you know now that you have a arrest warrant for first-degree murder, and you are Oscar Rene Sandoval. I am. [music] You can decide anytime from this moment to terminate the interview and exercise your rights. Is that your wish, okay? >> [music] >> Do you understand each of these rights I explained to you? I believe so. Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to us now? No, I have an attorney. Okay. Thank you. All right, guys. Can you sign here? Yeah. >> [music] >> Print your name. Sign here. Okay. And then you guys will witness. >> [music] >> Can you get a pizza by chance? What? Can you get a pizza? Yeah. Ah, damn. That would be nice. What kind of pizza? Ah, yeah, we'll get those spicy. That even caught the lead officer off guard. >> [music] >> Oscar was a killer, but at the same time, he wanted the detectives to think of him as a nice guy. What he didn't realize is that the switch from him being selfish to [music] trying to look like a nice guy was very obvious. Do you know if I have a bond by any chance? You won't know that till you get to the detention center. >> Oh, is that right? They'll be able to tell you. They'll tell you when you speak to the judge. All the All those other questions you have, they'll let you know that. And that's when you'll get your phone call as well, sir. If he cared about his kids, he wouldn't have taken their mother away from them. Well, your kids know you're safe. >> [music] >> Got some good kids, huh? It's all right. >> [snorts] >> They were worried about you. >> [music] >> It's all right to cry, man. I'll get you some tissue. Yeah, that's it. >> [snorts] >> It's been a long couple days, huh? Oh, man. I I just talked to your kids. So, they're all right. They're taking care of each other. I can tell you that. If that helps. >> [snorts] >> But those tears stopped real fast when it was time for him to be transported to jail. Within seconds, he snapped [music] back into the calm and composed man he was when he was first caught. He was calm because he thought all the evidence the police had against him was circumstantial, [music] completely unaware of the witness, the CCTV footage, and the one person who was the most willing to bring Sherine to justice, their daughter, Sarah. Sarah was one of the key witnesses during the trial and testified against Oscar, making sure everyone knew this wasn't a heat-of-the-moment thing. It was a planned, premeditated murder. On April 16th, [music] 2024, just 6 days after he was transported to jail, a grand jury indicted Sandoval on a first-degree murder charge. On January 15th, 2025, Sandoval was found [music] guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by a jury, but he wasn't affected by the verdict. He danced after hearing it. And now, he'll [music] spend the rest of his life in prison. Forced to grow up beyond their years, the children have been taking care of each other, just like Sherine would have wanted.
