Custody Fight Leads to Tragedy | Killers Caught On Camera | Forensic Files

Julia: This time on Killers Caught on Camera. In Florida-- - Sheriff's Office. Make yourself known.
- Not very often do you get a recording of your victim being shot. Julia: An ongoing feud between a husband and wife
comes to a fatal end. Cop: I was just out here an hour ago. - There's no way you could have predicted
this would have happened. Julia: And in Ohio. Cop: Can we just start the video and just--
just watch it? Julia: Odd behavior and a missing antiques dealer trigger a desperate search.
Cop: Two people go in, one person comes out. We knew at that point, something must have happened.
Cop: Yep, that's blood. Julia: As security cameras capture-- - A video doesn't lie.
Julia: --a bizarre coverup. [tense music] Man: It just sounds like something bad is happening to her.
Woman: We know what happened because the video tells us what happened. Man: I heard some gunshots.
- I need to get rid of the gun. - Man, that's good. Cop: The camera doesn't lie.
Julia: In the US, Northern Florida, the town of Gulf Breeze. [phone ringing] Julia: Dispatchers tried to find out
how much danger she was in. David: Domestic disturbances between families are one of our highest calls that we
go to as far as volume-wise. David: Collin and Bree live down in Gulf Breeze. They had been married for several years.
Julia: Two patrol officers arrived at Bree and Collin's home. cop: Hello, ma'am.
Beautiful day. David: A lot of the times, you arrive on scene, and it's a he said, she said situation.
cop: You guys separate. Is it all right if I go inside and of us go inside and talk to you?
Julia: The couple had two young children, aged three and four. They also had a child each from previous relationships.
- Collin Turner had been in the Marines 14 years and had retired and was functioning
as a stay-at-home dad. cop: Do me a favor and lift your shirt up a little bit. - Yeah, of course. cop: OK.
Shawn: Collin was discharged with a traumatic brain injury from the military and was transitioning
into just about starting a master's in electrical engineering at John Hopkins. When someone's transitioning from working in the military
to civilian life, that can be a big adjustment. You're used to being in charge. You're in a very close, tight-knit community
with colleagues, and to then transition into domestic life can be very, very difficult.
cop: So why don't you give me a rundown of what-- what happened during your argument?
Mark: Collin made statements that she had been watching television late at night,
and she refused to turn the volume down. So he disconnected the Wi-Fi. He also said that she had put his laptop in the dishwasher.
Mark: It seemed that it was a petty argument, and it just kept escalating, which led to the--
the next day. Julia: Collin's wife, Bree, was a chief petty officer in the US Navy, the breadwinner in the family.
Mark: Bree seemed upset when she was speaking to the police, and she described that she had been pushed into a doorway
and then thrown to the floor. But the first thing she told the police officer was about that he wants to leave with the children.
And it seemed that that was really her primary concern. Shawn: If you're gonna threaten to take your kids away from
a parent, that's-- that's gonna be really charged and really provocative. And if he knows that she's borderline, which
means abandonment is gonna be a huge trigger, that's gonna be really, really aggravating
for Bree with the thought that he's gonna take his kids away from her. So that's gonna be a very provocative thing to do.
cop: Miss Bree? - Yes? cop: I'm gonna give you both a business card. Here's one for you, Collin.
Julia: The deputy explained to Bree that it was not illegal for Collin to take his own children to Georgia, even
without her consent. cop: If you guys need anything, call us, OK? Julia: Without any physical evidence of abuse,
there was no further action. - There was no marks, scratches, or bruises on her.
So we had left the scene. Julia: But only four hours later, another 911 call, this time from Collin.
- On the face of it, that seems a little bit extreme to call the police if you're locked out of the house.
Usually people will calm down and eventually be let in, and the majority are not gonna call the police.
So that, for me, shows an escalation, a kind of upping the ante. [sirens blaring]
cop: Hello. - Glad you're here. cop: What can I do for you? - Hey, my wife won't let me in my house.
cop: Is this wife in dispute? - Yep. cop: OK, can I talk to you over here, ma'am?
Bree: Can I have my daughter, please? cop: Not right now. Hold on. Just one second. We'll get this figured out, OK?
What's going on today, sir? - I was trying to leave for Georgia to get a break from her
for me and the kids earlier today, and then she called you guys. I was talking to you guys.
She took my photo ID, all my access to money and everything, and then took the kids inside and locked me out.
So I've been locked outside in my driveway. Here we are. cop: OK, at any point, with this argument, was it physical,
or was anybody hit, scratched, kicked, bite, pushed, anything like that? Is it a continuation from what happened earlier then?
Is that fair to say? - Continuation of years, but yeah. Cop: OK. - After speaking with Collin, the deputy
goes and speaks with Bree Kuhn and asks for her account of what has happened. - I was talking to him about wanting a divorce,
and he said that he's gonna take the kids to Georgia. And he can because we're still married.
cop: OK. I don't know if you overheard what I told him. It's his house too, right?
Whatever you guys got going, you got to put aside for the kids. You see what I'm saying?
- But he told me not to talk to him. cop: OK. - I'm not gonna let him in the house
if he's gonna come in and start-- cop: OK. - --start arguing. cop: But at the same time, that's leaving the child.
I mean, that's kind of leaving the child out here to fend for herself. Does that make sense?
- Yeah, for sure. I don't want him to do that. Shawn: Collin says there's been a long history of years
of this kind of conflict, so the escalation makes sense in that context. Bree mentions a divorce.
And in response to the divorce, Collin says, I want to take the kids to Georgia.
So it doesn't sound like it's just for a visit to get away. It sounds like if they get divorced,
he wants to take the kids to Georgia. Bree is trying to keep control, trying to stop him from doing
that, taking away his ID. These are all escalations, and the kids are caught in the middle, which is really, really sad.
- I'm sorry. I really have to go back in because my four-year-old. Can I just-- cop: Yeah, absolutely.
Well, he's gonna wait out here for just a second. I'll go inside, if you want, with you.
- I don't trust him alone with her. cop: OK, well, then we can all walk back inside.
- OK. Cop: All right. - Don't want that, either. David: She's alleging a crime happened.
He's alleging a crime happened. Neither party has any marks, scratches, or bruises,
and you can't make them leave their own home. As a patrol deputy, you just kind of try to reason with them.
- Might be a cop-out, but she's nice to you. cop: Well, I understand. I understand.
- Not like that when you're not here. David: We again left the scene due to not observing any signs
of, you know, criminal acts. cop: You're good to go. She's gonna let you back inside with the kid.
- Cool. cop: All right. We just-- like I said, let's just try not to nitpick at each other.
I mean, I'm not saying you are, but we got to come to a resolution on it. - Yeah.
cop: OK? All right. All right, I appreciate you, sir. Collin: Thank you. Shawn: This does not seem like they're trying to end it.
This just seems like this is part of their style of relationship. When you argue, adrenaline gets released,
and adrenaline is one of the most addictive substances. That's kind of like heroin, in a way.
So people can, in high-conflict relationships, be addicted in a way to the-- the intensity.
It creates passion. You don't have to regulate yourself. You don't have to monitor yourself.
You know, in many ways, it feels good to be aggressive. [tense music] ♪ ♪ Julia: But 45 minutes after the second call out,
the tension in the house boiled over. dispatcher: [on phone] I just heard four shots.
Can we get EMS en route? David: The dispatcher heard four gunshots, and police respond lights and sirens to the residence.
cop: Sheriff's Office. Make yourself known. Mark: The Sheriff's Office searched the house,
and there were no signs of disturbance throughout the house, but they located the firearm that was placed behind a toaster
in the kitchen. ♪ ♪ David: There's a lot of moving parts. You're trying to figure out, OK, where's my suspect?
cop: Hi, Are you in shock right now? - I need you to go with this deputy. Have a seat. She's gonna hang out with you.
David: When they arrive, Bree Kuhn is at the next-door neighbor, and they escort
her to one of the vehicles. - Sweetheart, come on. Let's go. Let's go. Come over here.
That way, we'll get EMS to check you out and make sure you're OK, OK? Come on. - Sit over here, OK?
Cop: Come over here. cop: Hold on, hold on, hold on real quick. We're gonna search you, OK?
Just hold on to your hand real fast, OK? cop: Do you have a bra on? - I do have a bra.
Julia: Unprompted, Bree made a startling revelation. - He's dead. I saw him, and I tried to help, but he's dead.
cop: Well, let's not talk about that right now, OK? - My kids don't have a dad or a mom, you know?
And it's my fault. He's right. cop: All right. For right now, we're just gonna do this for right now, OK?
cop: For your safety and for ours. OK? - I'm a murderer. cop: Listen, you're not-- listen to me.
You're not under arrest right now. You're being investigated. - No, you should arrest me.
I killed my husband. ♪ ♪ cop: Yeah, he's dead. - The victim, Collin Turner, was
deceased in the garage with gunshot wounds to his torso. cop: I was just out here an hour ago.
- No way you could have predicted this would have happened. cop: Just cordon it all the way off to the street.
Julia: Officers secured the area while investigators pulled Bree and Collin's security
camera footage. A few seconds before police arrived, Bree took the kids to a neighbor.
- I love you. Julia: Where they'd be protected from what she knew was coming. - How come they're not going to get him?
The ambulance. - I think they need to talk to you, too. - Will the ambulance go get him?
Cop: We'll get this figured out, OK? I'm gonna let you know as soon as I know something, OK?
- He's dead. Cop: Listen to me. I'm gonna let you know as soon as I know something, OK?
Cop: I think she's in shock. Cop: All right. Twist around, feet inside there, OK?
Shawn: The third time the police are called out, they capture Bree clearly in a state of shock.
You could see her eyes are really big. She's-- she's kind of, like, has a blank stare on her face, and she clearly looks in shock.
And she's saying contradictory things, which are very typical when someone's in shock.
So part of her recognizes, I shot him. And yet, she's also doesn't want to admit that.
So you're gonna have a kind of wrestling between acknowledging reality and not wanting to face the reality.
And you can see that play out on camera. - He's dead. Julia: Back at the station, detectives
spoke to Bree about what happened just before Collin died. - You feel more comfortable in there, you said?
OK. When I sat down with Bree, we kind of just went about the night. She did admit to shooting Collin,
but she was very hazy on some of the details. Bree: He was in the garage. I locked him out.
- OK. Bree: He tried coming in, so I blocked the door, and he kicked my foot and was trying to push--
push to go in the door. - She described that she had used the gun in self-defense.
Bree: And I was trying to keep him out. [crying] And then I shot him. Julia: Bree's account of Collin's last moments
needed to be checked against his 911 call. - Collin was on the phone with our 911 dispatch
around the time he was shot. So I contacted our dispatch, and I had them forward me
a copy of the-- the audio call. - And out of nowhere, there's a gunshot. - And then three more gunshots go off in rapid succession.
- The dispatcher keeps asking, sir, are you there? Sir, please respond. But Collin never responds.
David: It's not very often do you have the crime occurring on a recorded dispatch line.
Julia: Bree's version of events was at odds with the recording. Bree: I didn't mean to shoot him.
Just the look on his face, you don't understand. - What was the look on his face?
Bree: He was gonna kill me. And that's when I shot him. David: Listening to the 911 call,
didn't appear that there's any sort of physical altercation going on. It doesn't even even sound like there's any verbal altercation.
Matter of fact, you can't hear Bree at all. Mark: He never paused. He never hesitated.
And so the logical conclusion was that he never even saw her coming at him. The first he knew of what was happening
was when she shot him the first time in the back. Where was he standing when you were in the--
in the garage? Bree: I don't know. Just-- - Bree really danced around some of my more serious
questions that I had for her. You already had the gun in your hand when you came to the garage door?
Bree: I think. - You think so? Bree: I don't know. - OK. She had already locked Collin in the garage.
He wasn't a threat to her. All the kids were inside. He had nothing. They were all safe from him, including her.
Shawn: Whereas when she was arrested, she was in shock, and that seemed really genuine.
In the police interview, that, for me, feels like she was just lying. And it was kind of a manipulation
because clearly, she didn't know yet that the police knew. So she was trying to kind of get away with it
as self-defense. She knows what she did. I imagine she just snapped. And I think it was very reactive,
and just, it just escalation got out of control. Bree: I don't want to talk about it anymore.
- Bree had decided to lawyer up. She didn't want to answer any more questions without a lawyer present.
Julia: As Bree stayed silent, the evidence in the garage spoke volumes. Mark: It appeared from the physical evidence
that Collin may have been seated inside the garage. There was a cooler that had blood on it.
He was seated on that while speaking with 911 and had his back to the kitchen door.
The first shot went through his back, exited through his neck, and entered his wrist as he is speaking on the phone.
[gunshot] David: And then it appears that Bree walked up to Collin and fired three more rounds directly into Collin's back
and after he was already on the ground. He was murdered. [tense music] ♪ ♪ Julia: Bree was charged with premeditated murder.
Her trial began on September 24, 2024. David: Bree's defense was initially going to be that repeated acts of violence against her
caused her to do this. However, at the last minute, Bree declined to go on the stand, which
was paramount to her case. Her entire defense fell through. Julia: After just four days, the verdict came in.
David: Bree was found guilty by 12 jurors on premeditated murder, and she was sentenced to life in prison
without the possibility of parole. Julia: In Florida, the prosecution did not have to prove motive, but the body cam
captured a mother on the edge. Mark: During this entire video, her primary source
of frustration seems to be that he wanted to take the children. - I was talking to him about wanting a divorce,
and he said that he's gonna take the kids to Georgia. And he can because we're still married.
- There was an impending divorce and an impending custody battle. And with Bree's, some of her mental health issues,
it appears that Collin may have been the stronger candidate to get custody of those two children.
Julia: Collin's loved ones were asked if he'd ever been violent towards Bree. David: I've spoken with many people that
knew Collin, friends and family, and they all speak of him as a good man. And the body cam was hard to watch,
especially where Collin's interacting with the children. He's holding his daughter, and you're
realizing this is the last time his daughter's ever gonna see him. That's hard to watch.
- He was a great dad, a great son, big heart, a happy person. The damage that this case has will be everlasting.
[somber music] ♪ ♪ - With some murders, there are red flags, and there are reports made to the police even.
But because of the nature of the reports or the evidence, the police are unable to do anything about it.
But other times, there's no signs, there's no red flags. And then a situation can quickly escalate in a way
that nobody saw coming. [tense music] ♪ ♪ Julia: In Ohio is the Rust Belt city of Akron.
On June 18, 2019, a 911 call alerted police to an unexpected disappearance. - Katie was probably one of the most well-liked
people I've ever known. She just had friends from all walks of life. - I've known Katie for 25 years.
We were fellow antique dealers. We'd go to auctions together. We just had each other's back.
Julia: In the tight-knit community of antiques dealers in Akron, Mary Kay was loved for her generous and helpful spirit,
known as Katie to her friends. Susan: She was very kind. She would come into our estate sales
and hand us a bag of cookies at the front desk, making sure we had enough to eat while we were working.
Katie was always looking out for other people. [tense music] On that Monday morning, I had a small apartment
that I was liquidating, and I had arranged for Katie and one of her partners to come that morning.
And as a courtesy call, I had reached out to see if they still wanted to come. And that's when her business partner told
me that Katie was missing. Julia: The missing persons report was picked up by patrol
officer Ryan McDowell. - I responded. I met with her family and her business partner.
Hi. What's going on? - She's been missing for 48 hours. And there was no sign of her, her car.
She didn't feed her cats. Her cats are everything in the whole wide world. Can't find her.
I mean, we've checked the house. We've checked everything. - Being a solo officer, it was on me
to gather as much information as I could to put into the missing person report. - She would never not--
not get in touch with us. - No medical issues. - From what I learned about her, she was a antique dealer.
I don't believe she owned any type of formal establishment, but she had a storage unit full of antique-y type things
that she would buy and sell. Any idea where she'd go? - Here's the only thing we can piece together.
She had called her sister and left a message that she had a handyman that-- that
could do work for her. And that's the last message, the last anybody heard of her.
Ryan: Did she give you this guy's name or anything? - No. - That kind of made my spider senses peak.
Julia: Officer McDowell's gut feeling got worse when he received a call from the owners
of Mary Kay's storage unit. Ryan: I took off driving as safe as I can in an emergency
manner to get up there. I arrived at the storage facility, and the owners and employees had the security
footage ready for us to view. Can we just start the video and just-- just watch it?
You mind if I take a seat? At that point, I just want to watch it. I want to figure out what's going on.
I want to get the missing pieces. Julia: The owners of the storage company played the video from two days earlier,
just before Mary Kay went missing. Ryan: It's almost surreal watching this from the
outside in. You see Mary Kay kind of moving things in and out of her storage unit.
We see her van parked there, and then we see someone across the drive. The initial reaction was friendly.
They were conversating. They do a high five, which is a friendly gesture. Mary Kay gave him something.
But this is where it starts to get kind of odd. ♪ ♪ He's ducking down around her car,
almost like he's stalking her, watching her. She's not really seeing it. And this is not normal behavior.
Even as he backs away towards his storage unit, he's walking at an angle, but he's making sure he-- he kind
of keeps looking at Mary Kay. You're kind of wondering what's going on? What's he thinking about?
Julia: This footage is bizarre to watch because the behavior is so weird. It feels almost like an animal that's circling prey.
He's got these evasive hiding maneuvers that he's engaging in, and it feels like a super suspicious way to behave,
especially in an area that is absolutely littered with cameras. Ryan: Mary Kay is just going on about her business,
doing some things in her storage unit, putting things in, taking things out, things like that.
And we continue to watch. Mary Kay kind of walks off out of view of the camera, and he checks down, kind of looking for his opportunity
and enters her storage unit when she's not there. ♪ ♪ Mary Kay comes walking back down with an empty box.
She must have thrown something away. And she enters her storage unit. And then you see the garage door come all the way down.
Julia: The unit door remained closed for a number of minutes. Ryan: Being a police officer, you
see a lot of very odd things, but that probably was a little more shocking than what we expected to see.
♪ ♪ Two people go in, one person comes out, covered in a sheet, runs across back into the other storage unit,
and it was almost something out of the movies. That uh-oh factor kicked in. man: I never saw her come out.
Ryan: I'm gonna pause this. - Just pause it. - We need to check the welfare. - We'll be back to finish this.
We're gonna go check that unit. We needed to go in and check Mary Kay's storage facility.
Hopefully make sure she was still in there and still alive. Julia: But behind the door of Mary Kay's unit,
the scale of the challenge emerged. Ryan: That's a lot to stack back up. - China and stuff back there.
Julia: Any potential evidence buried in antiques. Ryan: That storage facility was packed full of stuff.
You could maybe only go 5 to 6 feet in, at most. We start pulling things out because we
got to make our way all the way through this if-- if Mary Kay is in here. And I pulled this long metal rod.
Look at this. Yep, that's blood. The more I look, the more blood I'm seeing all around me.
There's blood all over this. [background chatter] Tony: When I got there, the crime scene had arrived,
and they began processing the blood that we did discover. Julia: Detective Starvaggi's team emptied the storage unit,
but there was no sign of Mary Kay. Back in the office, they needed to check the security footage
to see what happened next. Tony: The video shows a male that gets in her vehicle,
drives off the premise. He returns on foot. He gets in his truck and leaves. We kind of got a knot in our bellies.
That does not look good. Julia: Detectives alerted all agencies to be on the lookout for both trucks.
Meanwhile, the storage company was able to identify the man last seen with Mary Kay.
His name was Michael Olson. Susan: Mike Olson was a white male in his mid 30s, but no criminal history.
I think some minor drug charge. At that point, we had him at least for the auto theft,
him driving her van off. The storage unit that he was coming from happened to be his father's.
His father gave us a little history. Said Michael was kind of bad luck, down and out, sleeping sometimes
there at the storage unit, sometimes at his dad's duplex. His father called him, asked him to come
back to the storage unit. He wasn't showing up and finally stopped answering his phone and stopped replying
to his father's texts. Julia: Detectives revisited the security footage after Mary Kay disappeared
inside her own unit. It showed Michael Olson had returned the next day. Tony: We had video surveillance showing
him going from his storage unit with a empty trash can over to her unit. Julia: Shortly afterwards, Michael Olson reemerged
from Mary Kay's storage unit. ♪ ♪ Ryan: He's moving the trash cans from one side to the other.
He's struggling with it there. The way the trash can, it's not a natural angle. And there's a sheet over it as if he's
trying to conceal whatever's in between the two trash cans. The security footage answered a lot of questions for us
before we actually had to go ask the questions. Julia: Michael Olson did not appear again on camera.
Detectives needed to search Olson's unit. Tony: We found a couple of poles and instruments
with blood on them. Eventually, we found a trash can covered with a tarp, and you could tell there was something
that was sticking out. - That's where they found Mary Kay's body. Karen: I was scrolling my phone and
I saw that people were saying, has anyone seen Mary Kay? She's missing. I called a fellow antique dealer.
And he said, Karen, it's much worse than that. Susan: I was shocked when I learned
that Katie had been murdered, stunned that someone would be so callous with another human being,
especially someone as helpful as Katie was. Julia: Mary Kay was lifted from the trash cans
and laid on the floor for the medical examiner. Tony: She was very bloody, including her face,
but we knew that it was Katie. She did have lacerations in her genital area and some bruising,
so they could only assume that it was sexual assault in nature. She was choked with one of those sticks.
She had a broken neck, and she had blunt force trauma in her head and other parts of her body.
Julia: It was now a matter of urgency to find Michael Olson, a violent fugitive
with a significant head start. He'd turned off his phone, making it impossible to track him.
- We had the murder weapon with blood on it. We had Katie's body in his father's storage unit.
So now it was just a matter of finding him. Julia: By chance, Michael Olsen hadn't gone far.
- Ironically, Summit County sheriffs had our suspect in custody because he was trying to break into the adjoining duplex of his father
and that they were gonna charge him with burglary. cop: Go this way, sir. cop: I know your face. Michael: What's that?
Cop: You ever been to County before? Michael: Yes. - I was astonished. They transported him to the Akron police station,
where we interviewed him. - This is ridiculous, dude. Julia: Suspected of murder, his demeanor in the interview room
continued to be odd. - This is their fault anyway. My pants are gonna fall off. I lost so much damn weight.
Julia: His behavior in the room where he is with direct eye contact to the camera, talking to people,
basically knowing he's being observed and almost performing for the camera in some way.
He seems to be trying to manage the situation. And in these kinds of circumstances
where you know you're being watched, you'd think you'd be on your best behavior,
and instead, you've got someone who's pulling his pants down, who's adjusting himself, who is kind of depicting himself
as this really chaotic person. - Mom, Dad, love you. Love you. Julia: I think it's someone who is overcompensating and
trying to look really chill and in the process, looking really sloppy and a little bit creepy.
Detective Starvaggi didn't reveal that they'd found Mary Kay's body. He kept the conversation related to the burglary
to build rapport. Michael: Well, why would they say that I was trying to steal stuff?
Gah, I've lived there for-- - I don't know that they actually said you were trying to steal something.
- What am I doing here? Tony: When we talked to him about the burglary, he was going into his life.
He had just broken up with his fiancee. Julia: Once Michael Olson had shared his emotional issues,
detectives switched the topic of conversation. - So I read you your Miranda rights.
Keeping those rights in mind, we'd like to talk to you about another issue. Julia: The murder of Mary Kay Wohlfarth.
- We just kind of walking through a story. So when was the last time that you were up at the storage unit?
- I don't know, three or four days ago, something like that, five days. I literally-- my days have been running
together so much that I've been freaking going crazy. - That's you, right? - Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's Dave and Kathlin, Kathleen. - Katie. - Katie. That's the same name, right?
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. - He said that she had the storage unit across from his father's.
So your storage unit, who has access to it? - Me and my dad. And then there's-- Tony: Anyone else?
- No, but I mean, I don't know if you know about theft that was up there not that long ago.
This guy used to get into all the units, stole all types of shit, Silverton bolts.
I don't know if you know that name. - He tried to bring up a guy named Tim. We never did establish who this Tim was.
Were you up there Monday? - I don't think I was up there Monday. I really don't.
Julia: After Michael denied being at the storage unit on Monday, Detective Starvaggi revealed his evidence.
- The other day-- - Yeah. - --we watch video. - Oh, you watched nobody. Tony: We have video of you talking to her
Monday, driving her van away. Her keys-- her keys were found in your dad's basement today.
- [bleep] No, Tim [bleep]. cop: That's not the narrative you want to start with.
That's-- that's not gonna work for you, buddy. Tony: It's typical for criminals to try to blame someone until they
know that they're cornered. Something bad happened to Katie. You know it. You know what happened.
Video doesn't lie. When you interview someone and you're about to get a confession, some people
just exhale, and it's like their-- their chest sinks. It's like a [sighs]. - [sighs]
- He did that, and we thought, OK, we got him. cop: Tell us what happened. - I snapped, man.
I snapped. I just-- something came over me. I don't know. cop: What made you snap?
- My ex-girlfriend, dude, she-- it was a downfall or something. Like, it's not like she was one to hold
a gun to me, my ex-girlfriend. But she made me a different person because of her toxic, narcissistic ways.
I was mentally, verbally, emotionally abused. I don't know, I just snapped, and Katie said something
about my ex-girlfriend. I don't know. - He said that he was talking about his breakup
with his girlfriend, and Katie said it was probably his fault. This is what caused him to snap.
There was no credibility to-- to that story. So we-- we knew that he was just using that as an excuse.
cop: Can you explain why her clothes get ripped or-- - Shoot, I mean, it was just--
cop: You didn't sexually assault her? - No, I did not sexually assault her. No, not at all, dude.
Julia: Michael Olson says that he snapped. He is shifting repeatedly who could be
responsible for the situation. There was no aggression. There was no dispute. There was nothing.
And I think the narrative about why gender-based attacks happen is totally turned upside down.
And it has to entirely be a conversation about men and why men are failing to control
or choosing to fail to control their urges, their-- their aggression, why they maybe
can't deal with small comments about their life that they perceive as a slight, and they can't handle that.
This is a prolonged and vicious attack where at any point, he could have said, I'm done, I have to stop,
rather than going all the way and killing her. [tense music] Cop: Tell us what happened.
- I think you know that, and I think you're getting me wanting to say it. Well, obviously, just went over there, I hit her in the head.
That was it. And then I just tried to get rid of the evidence, but I'll see what I can do about this [bleep].
♪ ♪ Julia: On August 20, 2019, a grand jury indicted Michael Olson on five charges--
aggravated murder, rape, grand theft of a motor vehicle, trespassing, and gross abuse of a corpse.
- With the premeditation and then the sexual assault, the prosecutors felt that there was a good chance that they
could get the death penalty. Julia: Michael Olson was facing death row. He decided to cut a deal and pleaded guilty to all charges.
Karen: I went to the court. For him to say he snapped is just I can't believe that because he was stalking her
around her car and everything. That's not snapping. Julia: I think the potential motive in this context
is, I mean, quite frankly, it feels like it might be boredom and opportunity where he is putting
himself in a situation where he goes, hmm, I wonder if I could sexually assault her or injure her initially.
So I don't think that there's a really clear plan, which is also why it all looks so bizarre.
Instead, it's a really senseless crime that is gender-based, where we see a sexual element
to the crime, where almost certainly this was done to her partly because she was a woman,
and he thought that either he could get away with it or that it wasn't as bad or as dangerous
as if he'd attacked a man. Karen: In the videos, she looked so relaxed. I guess when you're dealing with evil, they find a way.
Tony: As far as sentencing, he actually received life without parole. Ryan: I believe we did a good job.
Not the outcome initially that we wanted, but at the end, I think we hopefully did right by the family,
did right by Mary Kay. Tony: Katie was everything I'd look for in a friend-- kind, generous, friendly.
I learned from Katie an extra layer of caring and compassion watching her interact with a variety of people.
Karen: I love how independent she was. One of my favorite stories, we were at an auction.
It was late at night. We heard a car accident outside the auction house. She throws me her purse, says, hold this.
She runs outside, helps men turn a flipped car over, and I just stand there holding purses.
That independent part just sticks out so much to me because I look up to strong women.
Katie will be remembered as a lovely, independent, generous, kind woman. [somber music]
