Detective on Michael Wolfe's account of events | Forensic Files

well deductive reasoning and in the investigation tells me that this was the place to lure David this was the plan it
was a master plan for them to come here and rent the hotel room so that David in
fact would come here to meet her because he did still have feelings for her and and she led him to believe that that
they were going to get back together and be a family and raise their son so according to Michael wolf David knocks
at the door Barbara escorts him in she sits down on the bed David sits directly beside
her Michael is in the bathroom and he hears Barbara deploy the stun gun but it's not going off properly he says he
knew something was wrong it sounded like it was misfiring so David is saying what's going on what's going on Michael
walks from around the corner out of the bathroom with the gun wrapped in a towel
David stands up and says says what's going on so Michael fired the first shot which hit him above the left ear not
killing him just making him incapacitated and Barbara grabs him by the arm escorts him over to the chair
where he sits in the chair and then at that time Harry Britain comes through the door and says
he's not dead yet shoot him again Michael wolf shoots him for the second time and that was the shot that
ultimately killed him and when he stopped breathing and knew he was dead this is some distance from where the
body was dumped about 20 25 minutes why not pick a location closer not familiar to them in fact Michael wolf said we
pre-dug the grave so they chose the city of myar because Harry Brittain worked for the city of myar in the Wastewater
management plant so I think it would give them a heads up if there was going to be anything built there so it was
more of a convenience so that they could still even after David's death maintain
control and I think that's ultimately why they picked that location it just seems so far-fetched
farfetched but at the same time uh it was believable to me in the way that he he spoke about it the way that he
articulated it the way that he said she reacted what her role was what his role was so you believe Michael Wolf's
account I do absolutely
