Gruesome Scene: Lauren DeWise | Killers Caught On Camera | Forensic Files

Julia: This time on Killers Caught on Camera. - Police! Anybody inside, come out.
Julia: In Montana-- Cop: Police. Woman: Please don't shoot me. Julia: --police discover a gruesome trail of revenge.
Man: There is a suspect that is somewhere at large. Julia: And in the UK-- Man: This is somebody who's extremely persistent
and doesn't follow the rules. Julia: --an obsessive stalker ends a first date with violence.
[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. Man: The camera doesn't lie. Julia: In the US, in Montana, Belgrade.
January 7, 2018. [sirens blaring] Julia: Officers immediately responded to the scene.
Dispatcher: Female, 30 years old. She is alive. Cop: All right, copy. - I started notifying all of my detectives
at that point to mobilize the whole team. Cop: I'm just pulling up on scene. I could sure take some extra help.
Jeremy: Given the information that law enforcement had when they first responded, they have
to work under the assumption that there is a suspect that is somewhere at-- at large.
cop: Where are we at? What's going on? Jordan: When law enforcement arrived on scene,
they found Audria Audy, the female that was heard on the 911 phone call outside of the house.
Audria: I just came in, and I saw that my back door had been broken in. So I went to the back, and I could
see footsteps in the snow. So I ran up to my room to see if my roommate was OK. I have two roommates.
One of them is dead, and the other one is in her room, and she's still alive, and she needs help.
And I ran because I didn't know if he was still in the house. Julia: Once backup arrived, the officers went in.
cop: You ready? - Yep. - Belgrade Police! Police department. cop: Anybody inside, come out.
cop: I'm going this way. cop: OK, I got stairwell. Police! Kitchen clear. cop: Police.
Garage. cop: Garage clear. - Inside one of the bedrooms, they did determine that there was one female
that was deceased in her bed. cop: She's cold to the touch. cop: OK, all right, let's back out.
Kelly: When they went to the other bedroom, there was a female. She was on the floor.
cop: Police. Ashley: Please don't shoot me. Kelly: It was very obvious when they entered the room that she
was critically injured. cop: Hello? Ashley: No, please don't shoot me. cop: I'm not gonna shoot you.
Ashley: Please don't shoot me. cop: We're not gonna shoot you, ma'am. - When the officers ask her who shot you
or where were you shot, she denies being shot. Ashley: My name's Ashley. cop: Ashley, what's going on? Who shot you?
Ashley: Nobody. cop: Oh, what happened? Ashley: I don't know. Please come here. cop: I'm right here.
Can you see me? Ashley: No. cop: Can you see anything? Ashley: No. Cop: No? Ashley: No.
Jeremy: She doesn't understand what's happening. She doesn't know the magnitude of her injuries.
cop: Coming down. - I'm not gonna go to the hospital. cop: You don't have a choice.
We gotta get you up to the hospital. Julia: Back in the house, officers identified the victim in the bed
as 35-year-old Lauren DeWise. - There was an obvious gunshot wound to her face, head area.
She was found gripping her cell phone as if she was picking it up to try to call for help.
Julia: Lauren had only recently moved in after separating from her husband, Paul.
Jordan: Lauren and Paul met because they were working at the same school. They began dating and eventually
moved up here to Montana, where she got a job at a bank branch. She had two stepchildren, who she treated just
like her own children, and their youngest child together or only child together.
- Look at that. That's cool. Jordan: She was still too young to go to school, so Paul stayed home and took care of their youngest child
while Lauren was the breadwinner. Julia: But after their marriage deteriorated,
Lauren decided to leave Paul and move in with her friend, Audria, who was first on the scene after the shootings.
Jordan: When Lauren moved in with Audria, she continued to go to work, provide for the family.
She still bought groceries for the family and dropped them off. She would spend time with their youngest child, coordinating
with Paul to pick her up. Lauren was really trying to keep a normal life with the children while still establishing
herself outside of Paul. Julia: Back at the house, officers confirmed Lauren's killer wasn't inside.
cop: Is there tracks going over the top of the fence or anything? cop: No. Julia: They secured the crime scene
and began looking for clues. Kelly: There were footsteps that led around the side of the residence
to the back of the residence. It was pretty clear when we visually inspected the footprints that there were two different tread patterns
in the snow. Julia: Both sets of footprints were tracked to the back door. Jordan: The back door had obviously been kicked in.
They found numerous bullet casings in both Lauren's room and Ashley's room. Julia: Officers needed to find out who would want
to harm Ashley and Lauren. They worked on a list of potential suspects. Kelly: We were able to determine that Lauren
was going through a breakup and likely a divorce soon thereafter. We were also looking at Ashley's boyfriend.
They had been together the night before. So we were looking at both of those males at the time
to attempt to make the determination as to who was the actual target. The initial person that we made contact with
was Ashley's boyfriend. They were sort of on again, off again boyfriend-girlfriend.
They had been together the night before. One of the things that we were able to determine with him
was that his boot print did not match the boot print size that was found at the scene.
He was not the person who had forced entry into the residence and committed this crime.
Julia: Investigators then turned their attention to Lauren's husband, Paul. - It became very apparent that Lauren
was manipulated and abused by Paul from the beginning of the relationship. He would send Lauren text messages every day
asking when she was coming home to make him lunch. And if she was busy in a meeting or running late,
he would throw a fit, saying fine, I guess me and baby will just starve. He would make her come home literally every day
and make him lunch, even though she was working and he was not. Julia: Paul DeWise is manifesting various kinds
of emotional abuse. And he's controlling her calendar, controlling how she can move in the world
by saying things like, you have to be home to make me lunch, which is both sexist, and it's a way to control her day.
The dynamic of the relationship seems to be that he is the recipient of her efforts, and her money,
and her love while he gets to make demands. Police tracked down Paul DeWise. cop: OK, open up your door.
cop: Hands up. cop: Hands up. Walk over here. Keep coming. Keep coming. Stop. Get on the ground.
Get on the ground. Julia: He was brought in for an interview. - Hi, Paul. So the reason that I wanted to talk to you
is there were some issues that happened over at Lauren's house last night or this morning.
- What happened? - Well, someone broke into the back door of her-- her place. The person that came in ended up shooting her.
So. - She's dead? cop: Yeah. So. - Oh my god. - He starts rubbing his hands on his thighs and
rocking as like a self-soothe. cop: Let me just say right off the bat that I understand, Lauren, regardless
of your relational issues, I understand-- - I love her. cop: --Lauren in very important to you.
- I love her. - And I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now. - You think I did it.
I didn't do it. cop: We gotta-- we gotta look at the big picture. - I would never do anything.
cop: I'm asking you to give us any information that you can about anything that happened, whether it was you or not.
- He's asked by our investigators if he could provide information about his whereabouts.
cop: Let's just start with a basic timeline. Last evening, last night, as detailed as you can.
- He gives a general statement of a fairly benign evening at home, that he did not go anywhere other than maybe
to buy beer. - I went and got a six pack of beer around midnight at Town Pump. Yeah, I went to bed around 2:00.
cop: And that was about midnight you got a six pack of beer, right? - Yep. Julia: Paul told the police that Lauren
was having a hard time. - She's going through a midlife crisis, and, you know, she's staying gone.
She's coming home late and drunk. I caught her cheating. [tense music] Julia: Paul's teenage children were also interviewed.
- Both give a very similar, almost abnormally identical, recount of a very benign evening.
- It's very consistent in kind of the highlight of details amongst all three. Jeremy: It's not abnormal to have
a family give consistent stories of an evening. It's a bit more odd to have a vague evening
with very specific data points that each recounts almost identically. Seemed odd to us.
Julia: Paul and his children were released while investigators took their phones
to search for evidence. A few days after the shootings, the case took a remarkable turn.
The second victim, Ashley, had survived. - One of the bullets went into the back of my head.
And one of them went into my carotid artery, and it plugged the hole perfectly. And so that's why I didn't bleed to death that night.
Doctors told my family that if that bullet would have landed even millimeters different, I would
have bled to death that night, so that alone is a miracle. Julia: When Ashley was strong enough,
investigators went to speak with her. But she had no memory of the night she was shot.
- I remember getting out of the car and closing the door and walking in and locking the door behind me.
I do not remember an intruder coming into my room and being shot at all. Julia: Investigators examined Paul DeWise's phone
and found some disturbing recordings. - Yes, I've been drinking. I'm having beer.
But I'm not wasted. I'm very upset. But this woman, she's taking everything from us.
Everything. Everything. And she's not sorry. - This is an angry drunk man who is ranting
at himself, effectively. - I sacrifice every day for this woman. I stay home with our baby because that's
what she wanted me to do. - What this feels like is someone who is lonely. - I'm angry.
I don't want her to keep her job. I would like to protect the community from her.
- But he's also very firmly blaming her for everything that he feels is going wrong in his life.
- And I'm angry. And my children are angry. - When really, he's the one who's drunk at home,
not working. And yet she's the problem. And she's the one who's taking everything,
even though she's the one who's literally providing everything at this point. Jordan: He was constantly berating her when she was home.
Paul: I'm bothering you by telling you facts, and you don't like facts. - Shoving his phone in her face and not letting her
go to sleep when she needs to get up and work in the morning. - Just leave me alone.
Paul: Why don't you attack me in front of the camera? Why don't you talk to me like you did a minute ago?
- Leave me alone. Paul: Leave you alone. - He just takes her time, attention, emotions whenever he wants.
And he has complete callous disregard for what she actually wants and what she needs.
Paul: What you do is wrong, and the bottom of your feet are dirty. And you don't even wash the bottom of your goddamn feet.
- There were hundreds of audio recordings and video recordings of him just verbally
abusing Lauren to the extreme. Paul: You're so sweet and so kind to everybody, except for me and your house, where you're comfortable,
and you treat me like [bleep]. Jordan: He cycles between guilt tripping her about abandoning the family, even though she's
still paying for everything. - In Bozeman, there's all these young 30-somethings with tons of money that Lauren's chasing.
She loves that. - He then goes into the love bombing phase of I'm so sorry, I'll stop.
- I don't care what you did. I'm sorry about what I did. Just please come home. And I love you.
- I'll quit drinking. Please come home. We need you. I don't know what to do without you.
- Please just [bleep] please. I'm sorry I wasn't more understanding. I understand now.
- This is the hallmark of intimate partner violence, to allow yourself to get very angry
and to let it out on your partner and to then try and enter into a cycle of reconciliation.
That's also why, in some cases, at least, people stay with their abusers because they--
they know that there's the good parts, and they allow them to overshadow the bad.
- If you give me another chance, you won't be sorry. I promise. Julia: Paul's manipulation and control extended to his kids.
Paul: Was it my fault? Was I a bad husband to Lauren? No? Are you glad it's just gonna be me, you, Joe, and Emma now?
Why? - Because Mama moved away. Paul: How do you feel about what happened with Lauren?
- I'm angry and sad. Julia: This footage of him interviewing the children is, of course, a completely
one-sided representation of what's going on. Paul: Is it my fault, Joe? - No, not at all.
- He is rubbing it in that she left. Her kids think she abandoned them or she's disappointed them.
They're angry at her, not at him. - I'm very upset. I don't understand. Julia: He's trying to massage their reality
to be in line with his, even though that reality is harmful to them as well. To check Paul's version of events,
police got hold of the footage from the gas station that Paul said he visited the night Lauren was killed.
Jordan: When police watched that video, they see Paul drive up in the RAV4, get out, go into the store.
This video is actually at about 12:30, 12:20 AM, January 7. The store angle catches Paul's feet,
both coming into the store and then also exiting. You can see on one foot the two-tone pattern of the shoe.
When we analyzed the footage, it was established that they were Merrell brand shoes.
Kelly: We were able to determine that they were a brand that was sold at Walmart,
and we were able to obtain a similar pair of boots from Walmart to actually physically
look at the soles of the boots and make the determination that that footprint was indeed the same footprint that
was located at the scene of the crime. Julia: But the second set of footprints was still unaccounted for.
When police obtained a search warrant for Paul's home, they made another damning discovery.
Jordan: The bullet casings in Audy's house, which were of two different brands, we
found those exact same two brands mixed in together 22 shells in Paul's house. To have that at both locations was unique
because it tied the bullet casings directly to the main suspect. Julia: As investigators continued
to work their way through hundreds of Paul's recordings, they found a chilling declaration.
- From Lauren's perspective, this would be such a terrifying experience, partly because you can hear in his voice that he's seething.
There's no kindness. There's no empathy. He's almost, like, drained himself of his own humanity.
Julia: Five days into the investigation, police made a breakthrough. Jeremy: My crime scene technicians
tell us the second boot impression at the crime scene is not a size 11. It's a size six or a six and a half.
That's the same size boot that Joe wears. Julia: Police brought Paul's son, Joe, in for another interview.
Julia: Joe's mother was present. - I could see and feel the weight of all of this on him.
It's like the weight of the world on a boy's shoulders. - He has this horrible story that's forced on him.
- He's just a kid. - I am trying to let him know that I am that safe space for him--
- --that whatever it is that he has to tell, he can tell it to me. - And with incredible strength, he gets the words out.
- He was the one who stood up for the truth. - An incredible act of bravery in the most difficult
of circumstance. Julia: Paul DeWise was arrested and charged with deliberate homicide for the death of Lauren DeWise
and attempt of deliberate homicide for trying to kill Ashley Van Hemert. Joe DeWise was not charged.
- I just didn't feel that a 15-year-old boy bore any responsibility for the death of Lauren under those
circumstances, so I made it very clear that he was not going to be charged. Jordan: Joe was not a willing participant.
He truly felt that if he didn't do what his dad said that his dad was going to kill him
and his sisters. Julia: When the trial began in December 2019, Paul DeWise took the stand.
- I am not a controlling person. I don't even know how to do that. And anybody who knows me knows that.
I have been falsely accused here. I didn't do it. And I don't deserve to go to prison.
And what you've done is wrong. - It's just flipping the narrative, isn't it? It's completely co-opting reality and saying,
I'm unwilling to accept this. He's just completely turning it around. And it's something that psychologists call
an external locus of control. It's where you think that everything that is happening,
everything bad, especially that you do, is because of things that happen that are
outside of your control. And every good thing you do is inside your control. And so that external locus of control
just manifests in every single thing he says. Paul DeWise was found guilty and sentenced
to 220 years with no parole. - When I found out that he was actually gonna be in jail for 220 years, I just thought,
well, that's reasonable. That's-- that's good. I'll never have to worry about him hurting anybody else again.
He killed the mother of his child. I mean, even take me out of the picture. He killed the mother of his child.
How could anybody ever do that? Jeremy: Lauren was doing what she could to extricate herself
from a very toxic and dangerous environment that she found herself in. There was some concern about why
she left her small child in that relationship with Mr. DeWise. I think you have to recognize that Lauren
had to save herself before she could go back and try and save those kids. And I think she had made the right step to do that.
It's just unfortunate that she didn't get a chance to-- to start her new life over.
Jordan: I think Lauren should be remembered as a fantastic mother. She worked so hard to provide for not
only her child, but two kids that she loved as her own. She needs to be remembered as someone
who has such a big heart. - Good boy. Come on. Jordan: There's a side to this story
of Lauren, which is so tragic. But then on the other side of this, there's Ashley Van Hemert, who is just a walking miracle.
- Yes, that's my good boy. Life to me now is honestly, it's-- I would say it's good.
It's-- it's never perfect. It's always, you know, striving to-- to be better. You can have a life one way, and
then something just happens randomly that you don't see coming. But life can continue even through really,
really hard times. You can still live positively. I'm just trying to live also the best
life I can also really for Lauren because she's not here to enjoy this life anymore.
You're my boy. Yeah. What I'm really trying to do now is just live the best life that I can with what I'm given.
And that's what I would be a strong message to everybody, you know? No matter what life you're given, just live the best life
you can. Make yourself proud. Do what makes you happy and what fulfills your life.
[tense music] Julia: Paul DeWise showed basically throughout his trial not a shred of remorse.
Instead, he kept saying, I feel bad for me. And why are you doing this to me? And you're the ones who are doing things wrong,
and that is actually representative. If you look at research on men who've been in prison for murder, quite often, researchers
will find that the men say that they actually feel more sorry for themselves than they do for their victims.
And this is socially significant because we as a society think that remorse is really important.
And so that remorselessness is something that can echo through cases, and it can leave us incredibly unsatisfied with the outcome,
even of a successful trial. [tense music] Julia: In the UK, in Hampshire, the port city of Southampton.
Paul: The city of Southampton is littered with CCTV cameras, which can be unnerving for some people
but also can be reassuring for others. - Consistently, we see Southampton being our highest area for referrals
received for stalking. Paul: Police are starting to understand stalking a lot more now.
What history has shown is that stalking is extremely serious. It is a precursor to murder.
[tense music] At approximately 9:15 PM on the 21st of September 2019, Hampshire police control room received a 999
call from a distressed male who described an attack taking place. He managed to flee the scene to call the police.
They were dispatched immediately. You've got a person at that address who is potentially armed and dangerous with a knife.
When the police arrive, they go into the kitchen, and they find a female who is lifeless on the floor
with injuries to her neck and her torso and her arms. This was a savage attack. Chelsea: Paramedics also arrived, but she was sadly
pronounced dead at the scene. Paul: The victim was identified as 28-year-old Cristina
Ortiz-Lozano, a Spanish national who had moved to Southampton recently. She was ambitious.
She had landed a really good job with the cruise liner company in Southampton, and she was living life.
♪ ♪ Chelsea: In total, she was stabbed more than 23 times with some of the individual stab wounds
having been punctured more than once. Paul: This would suggest this is somebody who's got this particular rage
or hatred towards the victim. Having established that the perpetrator wasn't within the house, the police then
searched the grounds of that house, and they found in the rear garden a male with several stab wounds to his chest
and some other minor injuries clearly caused by a knife. And he was identified as Abdelaziz El Yechioui Ourzat,
also a Spanish national. ♪ ♪ Julia: The man in the garden was taken to Southampton General Hospital for urgent treatment.
Paul: They managed to identify the person who called in to the police. He was on a date that night with Cristina in Southampton.
He was clearly distressed. And he explains to the police that whilst they were out
in the pub, Cristina identified that they were being followed by a male that she knew.
She was extremely concerned by this. Officers would now be pulling in all the CCTV
from the surrounding areas. We've got the endpoint where Cristina was found, which was her home address, and then you work out backwards.
Speaking to her date, that witness, we identified that they first met in Sprinkles, which is an ice cream parlor above Bar Street
in Southampton. We could pull CCTV from that area and then work up to Giddy Bridge in London Road, which
is the pub where they were, and then follow the trail that they would take back to her home
address in Spear Road. ♪ ♪ What they will then look for is anything suspicious around those two.
And sure enough, they identify a figure in the shadows watching them. ♪ ♪ Julia: Footage from a supermarket
nearby confirmed the identity of Cristina's stalker. Paul: Officers can now confidently say
that the person following Cristina is who's subsequently been found in the garden
with these-- these injuries. Abdelaziz El Yechioui Ourzat was her ex-boyfriend. We have Cristina lying dead on the kitchen floor.
So I'm left wondering whether there were other things going on in the background and whether something
had happened previously and ended up with Cristina losing her life. - Cristina Ortiz-Lozano and Abdelaziz
El Yechioui Ourzat originally were together for 12 years. They met whilst they were teenagers at school in Spain.
They then moved to Liverpool and then after that moved to Southampton in July of 2019.
Paul: He actually got himself a job as a baggage handler also down at the docks for the cruise ships.
He wasn't as successful as Cristina, but he had landed a job. Julia: Only months after the couple's move to the UK,
his behavior became too much for Cristina. Chelsea: On the 24th of August 2019, Mr. Ourzat was drink
driving and crashed his car. When the police arrived on the scene, Mr. Ourzat refused to provide a specimen of breath
and was arrested for this offense. On the same day, Cristina ended the relationship,
stating that she was fed up with his behaviors and his alcohol consumption. Julia: Cristina asked Abdelaziz to move out.
Chelsea: He didn't take this well at all. He became extremely violent, smashing up the property,
causing a lot of damage, smashing sinks, toilets, even going as far as to rip the wardrobe doors off
and throwing them out the window. Paul: She was extremely scared, to the point where she called
the police and they had to attend and arrest him for criminal damage and harassment.
Julia: His bail condition included no contact with Cristina. Paul: Unfortunately, he ignored those conditions,
and he turned up the following day just hanging around outside. Shawn: As far as the motivations for stalking,
you could feel rejected by someone, and you could have a false belief that they're
still interested in you. For Cristina, it's gonna feel very intrusive and invasive,
and she did everything she could as far as dealing with this unwanted disturbance
of stalking. She was very, yeah, boundaried and proactive and doing what she could to-- to protect herself.
But of course, relationships that break down, and if you have someone who's not very stable
and someone who has a lot of wounding, their behavior is gonna be very distressing.
Julia: Cristina called the police again, but her appeal for protection failed to materialize.
- During that short period, he was sending her threatening emails, and so he was again charged with harassment
and also malicious communication offenses. Chelsea: The behaviors displayed by Mr. Ourzat at this stage would be very common behaviors
of a rejected stalker, somebody that is not willing to accept the relationship's over.
He's still yearning for that power and control dynamic. Shawn: There's kind of a consistent escalation
of the intensity of the stalking behavior. I think it's very possible that the initial stalking could have
been as a way to try to get her to align herself with him and perhaps to try to repair their relationship.
But I think that's, for me, enters more into coercive control and domestic violence.
Paul: The fact that he'd been given bail conditions not to contact Cristina yet ignored those shows me that this is
somebody who's extremely persistent and doesn't follow the rules. And for me, that is extremely concerning and a red flag.
She was starting to make inquiries with her company to see whether she could be transferred back
to Spain because she felt safer in Spain than she did in the UK whilst Ourzat remained over here.
Julia: While Cristina waited for a transfer, on the evening of September 21, 2019, she went on a date.
Police pulled the remaining video to reconstruct Cristina's last night. Watts Park was a four-minute walk from where
Cristina went on her date. CCTV in the area revealed the extent of her ex's obsession.
♪ ♪ Chelsea: What we can see here is him loitering for quite a period of time outside the park,
and it looks to me as if he's on his phone. That could indicate there may be some form of tracking device
that he may have on Cristina and that he's using that to try and establish exactly where her location is.
Julia: At 7:35, Cristina and her date left the ice cream parlor, unaware that they were being tailed.
♪ ♪ Chelsea: I find it really interesting that he's choosing to walk on the opposite side of the road.
He's choosing to keep his distance, trying to maintain that power and control of I
don't want to be seen yet, and I will choose when I'm going to be seen. And then what is really telling here, and quite scary,
is that he stops for a few seconds, kind of hiding in the shadows, choosing when he's going to move again.
♪ ♪ Julia: Cristina and her date went for a drink at a pub. Ourzat lurked outside for nearly two hours.
Chelsea: We see him walk past the pub here. And that is quite a bold move to make.
And when we talk about intrusive behaviors from a stalker, he's choosing this moment for her to see him.
Cristina recognized Mr. Ourzat in the pub and wanted to leave immediately. We know how scared Cristina must have been in that moment.
It's been described from the date that she was at that her face changed dramatically
and that she looked so scared, as if it was somebody fearful of a wild animal. ♪ ♪
Paul: She said to her date, I think we better leave. Let's go back to my house instead, where she felt more
secure and more comfortable. And that's what they did. ♪ ♪ Julia: Ourzat was filmed again following
Cristina and her companion. But this time, his behavior took a sinister turn. Chelsea: What we can see here is Cristina
and her date walking along a road in the city center. This footage was actually taken from Mr. Ourzat's phone.
What this demonstrates is his need to want to document Cristina's every move. There's a possessiveness to this.
Capturing an image of your ex-partner walking with somebody else, it's highly intrusive.
But it just goes to show how obsessive Mr. Ourzat was in wanting to know every intimate detail
in what Cristina was doing, especially on this evening. Julia: Cristina and her date walked towards her home
without knowing whether they'd actually managed to lose Ourzat. Chelsea: Cristina and her date went out of their way
to keep themselves safe. They didn't go the normal route home. They changed their route.
♪ ♪ Here we see Mr. Ourzat entering into Spear Road, knowing that he's breaching his bail conditions
by entering this road. He's clearly going there for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to attend Cristina's property.
It must have been absolutely petrifying for her. It is extremely common for us to see stalkers doing exactly
as Mr. Ourzat is doing, which is turning up at a property unannounced, unwelcome, unwanted.
Julia: Cristina tried to get inside her home to safety. Paul: He pushes his way into the address,
and an argument breaks out between Cristina and Ourzat, where he then draws a knife from the kitchen
drawer, begins to attack her in a frenzied way, extremely violently, ending her life.
♪ ♪ Shawn: This is really tragic. His self-worth, his self-esteem could have been linked to being loved,
and so if he's not loved, he could then feel worthless. And that could evoke tremendous shame and humiliation and rage.
He could have just felt slighted and wanted to get revenge to get back at her. It could have been just the ultimate control.
If you're not gonna have me, then no one's gonna have you. Paul: In March 2021, Ourzat stood
trial at Winchester Crown Court for the murder of Cristina. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds
of diminished responsibility. Julia: But the footage painted a different picture.
Paul: This wasn't somebody who just turned up at the address and just happened to come across Cristina
and her new date for the evening and just lost it. This is somebody who'd been following
her for a couple of hours all the way back to her home address. He's getting angrier and angrier.
That is premeditation. ♪ ♪ Chelsea: On the 17th of March, 2021, Mr. Ourzat was sentenced to life imprisonment for him to serve
a minimum of 19 years. Now, whilst this does bring some justice and comfort to the family, I can't imagine any sentence being passed down
being enough to fill a void that Cristina's family will now feel for the rest of their lives.
Paul: Cristina absolutely did the right thing by contacting the police as soon as she felt scared or threatened
by Ourzat's behavior. But when people are obsessed with other people, it doesn't matter what conditions you put in place
or how much the victim contacts the police to try and get an intervention. He ignored those conditions.
And sadly, she paid for that with her life. [tense music] ♪ ♪ [theme music] ♪ ♪
