Two days ago. >> This body is found in a horrifying state after lying undiscovered for nearly 36 hours, but nothing could prepare officers for what unfolds next. >> This is the police department. We have a search warrant. Open the front door now. >> SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. >> I don't even see where he's coming from. >> The morning of August 8th, 2018, begins like any other until a horrifying 911 call is received by Euclid Municipal Dispatch in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. >> 911, what's your emergency? What's going on there? >> I just got home from vacation with my family and I didn't have a key to come in the house and I see that my husband's car is in the yard. He's knocking on the door trying to get in. >> Okay. >> My neighbor was out. I asked her >> Have you been in the house yet? >> I think he's in there. No, no, I'm not sure. >> Okay. Do you think your husband's in the house? >> I I I'm assuming that he is because we have three cars. All three cars are here. >> Okay. [snorts] I'm going to I'm going to start the ambulance and the police over to your address, okay? 2483 Brentwood. >> Without wasting any time, officers rush to the location having no idea about the scene they're about to encounter. The moment they arrive, the situation instantly turns chaotic and they'd soon discover the horrifying twist no one had expected. >> Hi. What's going on? >> She just She came home from vacation and can't get in. Her husband's on the other side of the door. Looks like some bullet holes or some kind of holes in the back window. >> Okay. >> Just like I don't know. Broken glass and stuff. >> Ma'am, where did you go? >> Well, I went to London. My husband and I were supposed to go to Hawaii with my sister and brother-in-law. They were in Homestead, so my husband got ill and we flew to Newark. And he got sick. He got sick. And then >> What kind of sick did he get? >> Um the head. He gets >> Like a migraine? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Then um he stayed at his daughter's for a couple days and I've been texting him and calling him for the last couple of days and nothing, nothing. >> Okay.

Do you not have a key? >> have a key, you know, cuz what happened was that he he took the the key with him and and and the smartphone. I don't have a smartphone and my sister had a smartphone and and then we were going to communicate like that. >> Does he have any mental health history that you know of? Has he ever tried to commit suicide before? >> No. >> No? Okay. >> No. >> Okay. Is this Is this front one his car? >> I They're all his cars. >> Okay. >> The woman is identified as 60-year-old Jane Warne, the very person who placed the 911 call about her husband, Dr. Richard Warne. But throughout the conversation, something darker seems to be lurking beneath the surface. And when bullet holes are mentioned, it becomes clear this is far more serious than it first appeared, prompting officers to check it out immediately. >> Yeah. >> The hole is higher on the screen than it is on the window. >> All right. >> I don't know if we're going to get in there here or something. >> You see what I'm saying, John? How this hole in the screen is higher? >> Mhm. >> See it up there? >> All right, let's figure out how we're going to get in here. I don't have the full story about what's going on. >> Who's out front? >> The wife and neighbors. >> They got to have a key, right? >> Does somebody have a key or no? >> He When? Today? >> She hasn't talked to him in 2 days. He was supposed to be staying with their daughter. >> Did we try these doors? >> No. >> As officers begin checking the property, another officer gathers information from the neighbors. But, what they're told does little to ease their concerns. If anything, the situation feels even more troubling. >> Give me a good rundown. >> Traveling to London together. >> Okay. >> He came back early. >> How long ago? >> Because July 29th. Cuz he was having migraines. He apparently suffers from migraines. Was staying with his daughter in New Jersey. She has not talked to the daughter. She's trying to get a hold of the daughter now in New Jersey. >> But, she came home. She said the dogs um are normally not outside. They were outside. She can't get a hold of him. >> Outside within the house. >> Ma'am, when you say the dogs are not normally outside, do you mean outside in the backyard? >> In the house. >> In the house. >> In the house. >> The neighbors last saw him either Tues- Tuesday night or Wednesday after he got back to Cleveland. >> not of this week. >> Yes. >> Of this >> Like 2 days ago. >> So, the dog >> 2 days ago you saw him, right? >> Meanwhile, unable to find a key, officers decide to break the door down. But, what they're met with is the most horrifying outcome they were desperately hoping to avoid. >> Just do it. Here you go. You got one on your gun. >> Police your police. Anybody home? Police department. Hi, guys. Police your police. Hello, police department. Anybody here? >> Police your >> Squad up. Let's squad up. >> Let's take a look. >> Let's clear everything out of here real quick, guys, just to make sure. >> [snorts] >> I think there's a rifle. >> Mhm. >> Where's the rifle? >> That's what I'm looking for. >> Lying face down in the bedroom is Dr. Richard Warne, dead from multiple rifle rounds. But, with no murder weapon in sight, it appears the killer has fled with it. Now, officers must deliver the devastating news to his wife. And, the moment that follows is truly heartbreaking. >> We're trying to find a weapon at this point. Just to let them know he's deceased. We're going to have to go from there. >> When you say deceased, I mean like blue, gray. >> He's face down. He's not moving. He's got a wound in the back of the head. You know, we didn't flip him over to see if there's an exit wound. >> I'm very sorry your husband has passed away. No. He's passed. Why? No, Richard. Why? Why? No. No. No, please no. >> [screaming] [screaming] >> I'll just let you guys know if you're going to be her support system, the house is a crime scene, so we're going to treat it like that. So, we're not going to be able to let anybody in or out for quite some time. >> With the investigation now officially a homicide, officers begin treating every detail as critical. But just as they're piecing the scene together, an unexpected witness comes forward with information that could change everything. >> Who are Who are you related to? >> Richard. >> Richard? Okay. Who are you to him? >> I'm I'm his brother. >> Brother? >> He said He ain't over here now. He's over visiting his father. >> He's over >> I'm very close with him. I was just here with him for 3 hours yesterday. >> Today? >> Yesterday. >> 2 days ago. >> His wife was in London. >> Turn it. >> Yes. >> Is he a family member? Is he alive? >> He has passed and that's what we're looking into. >> Okay. >> So, that's the most I can tell you right now and in a type of situation like this, we can't >> Okay. Okay. It's It's okay. It's okay. >> We have to look further into it. >> We can't. There's There's nothing that we're going to be able to tell you right now. >> Is his wife in there with him? >> No. She went to the hospital. I'm very sorry. He is. No. Not right now. There There's nothing that I'm going to be able to tell you right now. I'm going to bring you in the support system. >> I'm not I'm okay. I'm okay. I I not okay. I understand. This is hard for you. >> It's harder for me. You don't know why. Just was with him. I was just with him. Two minutes ago. >> [snorts] >> The man is identified as Howard Lawton, Richard's lawyer and close friend. Still visibly shaken, he shares a crucial detail that gives investigators their first real timeline. Richard appears to have been dead for no more than 36 hours. Officers canvass the neighborhood and interview residents hoping to uncover new leads, but every effort comes up empty. Richard had been staying with his daughter, Danielle, and suddenly a moment of suspicion centers on her as well. To clarify everything, Jane is brought to the station for questioning and she is about to reveal a shocking truth that will change everything. >> So, but I just want to be clear on this issue about the the the son. So, you you don't know if they have any firearms? >> I don't know. >> Have you ever seen them with firearms? Have they ever talked about firearms? >> I don't I don't know. But, they they threatened him. >> They threatened him. How did they threaten him? >> To chop him up. >> To chop up their own father? >> And I heard a noise. So, there's and they told him to go "Who are you?" and Oh god. "Who are you?" and they told him to leave. They said that they were going to break the door down because there were intruders in the house and it was Mark and Michael. >> As Jane begins talking about Richard's sons, Mark and Michael, the investigation begins taking a dark and unexpected turn. Richard's sons emerge as the only people known to have threatened him, making them the investigation's prime suspects. Officers soon locate them at one of Richard's properties and prepare to make an arrest, but they have no idea what's waiting for them or how challenging the arrest is about to be. >> This is the police department. We have a search warrant. Open to door now. This is the police department. We have a search warrant. Come to the front door now. >> Why I'm breaching. >> Breaching? >> You want to take it out again and then hit that top portion? >> Yep. >> Where you going? >> Where's the helicopter coming? >> Possibly yelling inside. >> Shots fired. >> SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. >> SHOTS FIRED. >> Shots fired. >> I don't even see where it's coming from. >> Straight ahead. >> Shots straight ahead. >> Straight over. >> Get back. Get back. >> Guys, we got shots >> Shots fired. Shots fired. >> That's a .308. You okay? >> Yeah, I'm good. >> I'm good, guys. >> to back out a little bit? >> You want to BACK OUT? >> SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED. >> IT'S COMING FROM THE UH RIGHT FRONT WINDOW, RIGHT? Ask Trevor. >> I don't know if those are in or out now. Somebody shot at >> Right front window. It's got Look at the hole. >> Yeah. >> Right there. We shot in there. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. We shot in there. >> Go back out a little bit, huh? >> Officers are unable to arrest the brothers that day. Instead, after being placed in a potentially deadly situation, officers get a chilling reality check about just how far the suspects are willing to go. The question now is why. Once again, the answer comes from Jane, who is about to reveal an even more horrifying truth. >> Well, they didn't like me dating their father. >> Okay. >> I don't think they liked many people. They wanted their father to This is just my [laughter] opinion. >> Okay, now. >> They wanted their father to give him everything and they didn't want to work and the latest thing that he told me that they told him a few years ago is that um you made me. Oh, they have two of his cars, I just remember. >> Okay. >> So, he's paying you. Like he's paying their health insurance, car insurance. >> Okay. >> It's all they ever talked about. Money, money, money, money, money. Two of his cars are over there. They would have Rick's [music] credit cards. >> With permission or not permission? >> I I I'm assuming permission was permission and then then he got more charges wherever so he would call my mom and say, "What are you doing?" And he goes, "Oh, we're in California now. We're in Las Vegas now." Then they rented a luxury car >> Mhm. >> and they drove back. >> Mhm. >> Then we used to get calls at Oh, I don't know what time in the morning >> Mhm. >> that they're in Florida, but they don't have money to get back. >> From the interview, officers realize the brothers' motive isn't just money, it's eliminating anyone who stands in their way. That revelation makes them far more dangerous than first believed. Realizing a standard arrest won't be enough, officers assemble a SWAT team and evacuate the surrounding neighborhood to keep residents safe. >> You guys You guys go to your basements. >> Oh, yeah. We're here. >> Okay. Thank you. Sorry to disturb you. Honey, everything's going to be all right. We're going to take you to the police station. It's the safest place in the world. >> Let's go, Sasha. Come on. >> Good girl, Sasha. >> The house is surrounded and Mark and Michael are given multiple chances to come out peacefully, but nothing happens. With uncertainty growing, officers deploy drones inside. Moments later, an unexpected discovery turns the investigation on its head. >> I guess they're in the basement. All right, back it up. Back it up. >> It's too loud. >> Keep our exposure at a minimum. All right. All right, move it. >> We got stairs and furnace. >> That goes to the door. >> Can we get out? There you go. >> Do you see anything in there? >> No. >> What officers find inside is both shocking and tragic. Mark and Michael are dead from gunshot wounds, suggesting they either took each others' lives or their own. The discovery of the murder weapon inside the house removes the final piece of doubt. With both suspects dead, the investigation comes to a grim and heartbreaking end.
