everything Mark Winger was calling from his own home after his wife Donna was attacked acted on a Hot August afternoon
in 1995 who is this man I don't I don't know who he is so many of the good things have been
Stripped Away From Me almost everyone who knew Mark and Donna Winger they were terrific together
adorable she was crazy about him thought they were perfect together they were absolutely an adorable model couple they
were both respected and successful members of their Community Mark was a nuclear engineer for the state of
Illinois Donna was an operating room technician I would like to just say hello to Donna and Mark and both sets of
in-laws were delighted when the couple got married in 1989 Donna Mark we love you so
much the Wingers were eager to start a family okay but there was a problem [Music]
they learned Donna could not bear children she's so excited she hasn't slept for days so when Donna and Mark
adopted a baby girl in June 1995 they were elated I mean my heart was just pounding I just couldn't
believe it here's grandma dresser holding our little baby Mark and Donna doted on their daughter are we on Daddy
and here's Dean there's Dean a de and they showed her off to everyone especially Donna's best friend Dean
Schultz Donna was really special very friendly real exuberant full of life but just 3 months later the good
times ended abruptly it all began when Donna returned from a visit to her mother and
stepfather in Florida when I kiss them goodbye the last thing I always say is tell tell the pilot to drive carefully
and I kissed her and off she went Donna Winger and her baby arrived here at the St Louis airport and got
into a shuttle van for the hour and a half long ride back home to Springfield it was an unusual drive with
an unusual driver a man named Roger Harrington who'd been working for the van company for 6 months the guy scared
her she said that he was very frightening he said things about killing people setting car bombs mutilating
people Harrington was also speeding he was telling Donna that sometimes while he drives this Godlike
character would come to him pull him out of his body and he would be flying above
the trees she and the baby made it home but Donna was very rattled she was scared enough to tell me me that she was
uh very uneasy and scared to be alone Mark Winger complained to Roger Harrington's boss I blew up at him told
him about you know his van driver speeding you know with my my wife and my baby the inappropriate things he was
saying then less than a week after Donna's Wild Ride Winger says he was on his treadmill in the basement when he
heard a thumb you come up the stairs and it's very dark in that stairwell I'm just starting to hear
crying from sounded like the bedroom the baby he says was alone in the master bedroom and there were strange sounds
coming from the dining room instantly I knew that that wasn't right at all I just grabbed my gun and uh started
going down the hall Winger says when he came down this hallway he saw one of the most
horrifying things any husband could see his wife was on the floor here in the dining room there was a stranger over
her bludgeoning her with a hammer you can't imagine it you can't when I came down the hallway I had my
weapon pointed at him and I went to pull the trigger and that's when Winger says
he shot the man in the head when police got to Winger's house the victims were in terrible shape but
alive the male was taking real deep labored breaths and I thought his time was uh limited as paramedics went to
work officer Dave baringer got his Polaroid camera so I thought if we're going to have pictures with the showing
where the bodies were located I'm going to have to take these pictures now because they're going to be gone within
a matter of a few minutes he showed us how quickly he took pictures three pictures I only had three
pictures left in my camera within minutes both Donna and the man were rushed to the hospital I just
knew that she was in Dire Straits and Mark Winger began telling police what happened that day and I was like oh my
God you know I was like Donna oh my [Music] God I've been in criming work a long time
and there's been very few as severe and bloody as this one was homicide detective Charlie Cox knew there was
little hope that either Donna Winger or the man lying near her on the floor would survive their wounds I said a
prayer I do that at all my homicides I stand over the body and say a little prayer yeah Cox grabbed the man's ID
from his wallet and then he got Right to Work questioning Mark Winger in the bedroom I was in shock I was in shock
the whole time they were questioning me I did my best and he's uh more or less rocking back and forth as he's talking
to us and he you can tell he's nervous and upset so I'm trying to be as delicate as I can with my questions
Winger told the detectives the hammer was his left out by Donna as a reminder to hang a hat rack and he had a question
of his own he said who is that guy out there is his name Roger at that point I felt compelled to let him know the truth
and I said yes that's Roger Harrington he says oh my God that's the guy that's been harassing my wife and
me oh my God and I fell over on my side and just cried Harrington was the van driver who
drove Donna home from the airport 6 days before Winger told Cox about that harrowing ride he also told Cox about
two Anonymous phone calls that Winger believed were from Harrington I thought I was going to jail
cuz I just shot a man in the head but Winger could not have been more wrong I tried to console him the police had all
but cleared him they didn't consider him a killer they considered him a victim at
least here in my mind you're somewhat of a hero I says you've killed the person person who was killing your wife I said
uh you said he was a hero yes Cox's partner Doug Williamson helped to calm Winger I was trying to let him know what
we were going to do how the police were going to help him after Donna and Harrington were taken away Winger
managed to give the detectives a detailed statement he told them that Donna was on her knees when he took aim
at Harrington Harrington looks up at him yes and he shoot and he shoots him cuz he's getting ready go down and hit her
again and then Harrington from what the position he was in he said at that point he fell off of
her his wife and rolled back like that Cox's investigation of the crime scene backed up Mark's story basic evidence in
here where the crime occurred matched up with what he was saying everything everything matched up
there was blood where Donna was killed there was blood where Harrington's head landed
and and G was on the table as he said it was from when he called 911 what's more Harrington had been a
psychiatric patient with a history of delusions and Cox knew him he once broke up a fight between Harrington and his
wife he had her bent over the couch getting ready to hit her again when I grabbed him Harrington seems to fit the
profile of a murder suspect pretty well very well Harrington died died shortly after
arriving at the hospital and Donna died minutes later she never regained Consciousness oh my
[Music] God I felt deeply for him I'm a very religious person he seemed to be that as
well Donna's mother and stepfather Sarah Jane and Ira dresser were inconsolable when they heard about her murder had to
hold her because she was wailing howling wailing they were shocked to hear that Donna's ride from the airport had
escalated into a homicide she's a good girl was she scared by this driver she wasn't scared no she wasn't scared she
was just Disturbed Disturbed in a way you know that this was such a crazy conversation IRA and Sarah Jane rushed
to their son-in-law's side we felt terrible for him he's lost his wife also and then he had to turn around and shoot
a man he was crying and I said Mark I know you did the best you could and I love you very
much it was an open and shut case one day after Winger shot Roger Harrington the prosecutor announced his conclusions
Mr Winger acted in self-defense uh when he shot Mr Harrington and therefore at this time uh
no charges will be filed against him and I anticipate that there will never be any charges filed against Mr
Winger yeah I was fine with that case closed case was closed before then there was an outpouring of support for Mark
here in Springfield almost everyone believed he was a good family man whose life had been Shattered by a Madman but
one family was wasn't buying that story at all Roger Harrington's family what were you trying to tell the
police I was trying to tell him there is no way you guys are so wrong I knew he was not capable Harrington's Sister
Barbara Howell pleaded with Detective Cox he was very rude very very rude oh very rude he said ma'am anytime you want
to know how your kid brother walked in that home snapped and killed that woman come to my office and I'll show you step
by step Roger's mother Helen felt the shame of a city that believed she had raised a psychotic killer just felt
branded like who are we you know you felt branded how would anybody feel if their
son was called a murderer the Harrington bore their grief quietly believing they were alone they
didn't realize that someone else doubted Winger's story someone close to the investigation how convincing was Mark
Winger that night and the night after it was very convincing detective Doug Williamson were you convinced
no Williamson had a lot of questions why would Donna leave her baby alone on her
bed and open the door to Harrington a man she supposedly feared Roger Harrington was allowed into the house
there was no forced entry somebody let him in and Harrington parked right in front of the Winger home leaving behind
a piece of paper with a puzzling message I saw that there was a note on the front
seat and it had Mark Winger's name his address and 4:30 p.m. he says he doesn't know Roger Harington has never met him
and he does not indicate any appointment when I have already seen the note which
indicates an appointment there's always things in every homicide that don't fit so what
did you do with those things that bothered you just let them bother me like they always do Cox saw no reason to
doubt that the nuclear engineer justifiably shot a disturbed Intruder but Williamson wanted to investigate
further his bosses turned him down flat they discounted everything I said how did they discount it they just
said the case is going to be closed that's it and that's the way it stayed for 3
and 1/2 years until you didn't know what she wanted to say no but you knew it was
going to be big yes a surprise witness came [Music] forward everyone in Springfield Illinois
knew Mark Winger's story it was heroic and heartbreaking but detective Doug Williamson had never believed one word
of it I was argumentative I pointed out what we call red flags pieces that don't seem to fit
at first Williamson couldn't even convince his own partner Charlie Cox that Winger was a murderer but Cox says
he started getting suspicion when Winger kept showing up here at the police station a few months after the murder
Winger came by to ask for his gun back I released the gun back to Mark and we sat
and talked for about a half hour what did you talk to him about just things in general he was want to know how how the
case was going and as far as I was concerned he should have just accepted it was closed Winger denies it but Cox
remembers him dropping by a second time this time to say he was getting REM married to his daughter's new nanny whom
he had hired just 5 months after Donna's murder and he kept coming in I kept feeling like he
was trying to find out if we were checking into anything and I went back to Doug said something's wrong here big
time Winger's Behavior was making Cox believe that his partner had been right all along he thought about the problems
in the case like that note in Harrington's car and now FOX also wanted the case reopened fearing that Mark
Winger had duped the police and the boss has said no way we're not going to open
a case of this magnitude with your gut feeling and embarrass the department and embarrass
Mr Winger as the years passed Mark's new wife adopted his child and they had two
other children and then all of a sudden the whole case got turned on its head we got a lucky break what was that
Dean Schultz deian Schultz was Donna's best friend here a Dean there's de and she
was deeply troubled I was hospitalized um I started drinking I um tried to overdose um I I
wanted to die for 3 and 1/2 years Dean had kept a secret and what she was finally ready to
say would change everything I know the police think that he didn't do it but they maybe if you know if they knew a
little you know just a little bit that I knew um there could be an investigation so she said that uh her
and Mark had been having an affair it was a shock to everyone especially Cox who right after Donna's
murder had written it was very apparent that he and his wife were very much in love and that this should have never
happened and now Dean Schultz just like that says we we were having an affair yes what did you make of that detective
I said we got the evidence we need Deanne told them the affair began a month before Donna's murder and
continued a few months after she died until Winger ended it it was an enormous burden you sort of wanted to unload this
information yes and she dropped an even bigger bombshell she told police Mark wanted
out of his marriage so badly he had talked about killing Donna he mentioned that it would be um easier if if if
Donna just died deian said Winger suggested that she could play a role Daddy's feeding you he had said that he
would be out of town and he mentioned me coming and and finding Donna that was the the gist of the the
conversation yes and and I said you're crazy and deian said Winger even talked about the van driver Roger Harrington
according to Dean Schultz he told her he had to figure out a way to get him in to
the house my my impression was that he was going to give him a hard time and make sure he never messed with with his
family again Winger admits he had an affair with deian I was a good husband to Donna I made a mistake I'm human it
was stupid and it was wrong but he denies everything else she said you said to her you wish Donna was dead that
that's a horrible horrible lie did you ever say that to her no you never said that it would be easier if Donna would
just die at the time deian says she didn't take Winger's comments seriously but as
the years passed she felt mounting pressure from her own conscience I wish that she would have lived and I would
have died I would have tried places why did you feel that because she didn't deserve to die she she shouldn't have
she shouldn't have died with Dean's dramatic Revelation the case was finally reopened looking at the
detectives went straight to the old files and found yet another surprise those three Polaroids taken by
Officer baringer well didn't did you look at them in '95 no why not didn't know they
existed the Polaroids were taken before Donna and Harington were moved to the hospital but were never shown to
investigators when the detectives finally saw these photos they were flabbergasted it didn't take but 10
seconds it was a Smoking Gun it was The Smoking Gun why Roger Harrington's body the placement of that body in that photo
blew Mark story out of the water it was over Roger Harrington's head and feet were in the opposite way
of what Mark told us happen help me in the chaos detectives did not have time to note for themselves where Donna and
Harrington lay before paramedics rushed them to the ambulance to understand why the police now thought Winger had to be
lying requires a little forensic fancy footwork Charlie Cox went with us to the Winger's old house to demonstrate the
story that Winger told us Mr Harrington would have been lying basically like this because he would
have fallen backwards when shot and landed that remember police said Winger told them when he shot Harrington
Harrington fell backwards off of Donna so how was he found he was actually completely 180 180° the different
direction police believe it could not have happened as Winger said he would have had to completely do a flip
and land over here land how land like this and it's physically imposs with a 45 caliber round to have
done that flip barringer's three Polaroids were becoming the centerpiece of the case how could nobody tell you
that there were polaroid pictures of the crime scenes I mean we're talking about
the only three pictures of the bodies as they lay I agree how does that get lost
got overlooked and in a case where it was as closed as fast as this one was it was never
thought of again this thing was closed by the 10:30 news that night for all practical purposes four years after the
crime the detectives had no doubt that they had botched the original investigation they had allowed Mark
Winger to Get Away with Murder By pinning the crime on the obvious suspect Roger Harrington Roger Harrington was is
a perfect py to set up for for this crime police believe Mark Winger began methodically plotting the double murder
immediately after Donna's bizarre ride with Harrington on the way home from St Louis it's a perfect guy to seiz on to
make it look like an intruder had come in and killed his wife he fits Winger's purposes perfectly correct uh front door
the detectives could not afford any more errors after Dean Schulz came forward it
took them two more years to cover every detail and put together a murder case against Mark Winger finally 6 years
after his wife Donna was killed Winger was arrested and put in jail awaiting trial being a religious man like I am I
haven't gloated on that at I'm just glad that we've got the right guy in jail that he didn't get away with you haven't
gloated not even the Teeny tiniest I'm not a perfect Christian I I'm not a perfect Christian detective Charlie Cox
who once called Winger a hero is Now intent on proving him a coldblooded murderer and vindicating the innocent
man who was killed I hurt the Harrington family a lot they buried him as a murderer and yeah that bothered me a
lot but Mark Winger is J as determined to prove that the police got it right the first time Roger Harington killed my
wife saw with my own eyes I am just so sck sad how could a normal human being do something like
this nearly 7 years after Don's death Sarah Jane and Ira dresser came to Mark Winger's trial knowing the evidence
against him was strong but still clinging to the hope that something would exonerate
him why were you so eager for him to prove that he didn't do it because we loved him because he was part of our
family because Donna loved him because they they appeared to have such an incredibly wonderful marriage did you
kill Donna no with that hammer no I did not Mark Winger is a coldblooded calculated uh deceitful person that
planned and staged this event the prosecution team led by John Schmidt said Winger lied from the beginning even
during his 911 call shf place I Just sh this man in my house who is this man I don't I don't know who he is it is a lie
they say Winger knew very well who that man was he invited him to his house and that was the Crux of their
case the question of the case in a lot of ways is very simple what's Roger Harrington doing in the house the
evidence was very clear that uh it was a meeting that was set to lure Harrington
into the home if it's a meeting it's a murder Ray Duffy who owned the air Airport Van Company provided the crucial
link for the prosecution it was obvious that he wanted to talk to the driver direct Duffy testified that Winger
called to complain about Harrington's behavior during the ride and afterwards he just wanted to talk to this driver
and tell him to leave his family alone Winger claimed Harrington was making Anonymous phone calls to Winger's house
so he wanted to talk to Roger Harrington yes was that unusual yes it is usually uh when people
have a complaint they just call the office and Duffy said Harrington was eager to work things out I explained to
him that Mr Winger wanted to talk to him and he said that's fine give him my number and have him call me Mark called
Roger Harrington set up an appointment for 4:30 but police believe there's one thing Winger didn't plan for when he
lured Harrington to his house that note detective Williamson found is in Harrington's car if Mark would have told
us there was a meeting and the guy went berserk in the house this case probably would still be closed it would be done
but he didn't when Harrington went in the house police say Not only was he unarmed Mr Harrington had a coffee mug
and a pack of cigarettes he left a far more deadly object behind Roger Harrington had a tire iron fashion as a
weapon in his car if he was going there to bludgeon someone he had a weapon in his in his car yet he chose a weapon
from inside the house that he would have no idea was there what do you think happened I think that Roger Harrington
showed up they were seated at the table in the dining room and he held a conversation at some point Mr Winger
shoots Roger Harrington in the head I believe that Donna was in the bedroom because she didn't want to be
around Roger she comes running out of the bedroom to see what had happened Mark Winger picks up a hammer
he strikes her several times untangling the evidence in this seven-year-old case was a huge job for
the jurors you wanted to believe he was innocent the timeline of everything going on I just got chill thinking about
it three of them sat down to talk to us the defense told them that unlike Winger
who was successful and a respected member of the community Roger Harrington had a troubled violent past here is some
testimony that really does make Roger look guilty I mean Roger was weird Roger showed up at their house you know there
were some phone calls it could have been him the defense also pointed out that at
the time of the murder in 1995 detectives had the Polaroids they had the note in the car in fact they had
all the same evidence that they now found so incriminating against Winger trained professionals saw this same
scene we saw and they closed the case the next day deian Schulz who was given immunity
provided the only new evidence testimony that Winger had talked about killing his
wife but she had attempted suicide four times and had undergone electroshock therapy the defense called her
unreliable Roger Harrington killed my wife the jurors knew what was at stake by now Winger and his new wife had four
children including the baby he and Donna adopted to tear him away from his family
I had a hard time with that but Roger Harrington's family was looking for justice were you sure that your son
didn't do it oh I know he didn't do it no matter what the decision was one family would feel more pain were you
leaning one way or another no [Music] no [Music] after nearly two weeks of testimony
Sarah Jane and Ira drer are overwhelmed by the evidence against Mark Winger and what is so hard to understand is that
the way he murdered Donna was so vicious and so violent Roger Harrington's family
hopes to to clear his name I was praying I kept going Raj if you're up there you
hear me bring us something good bring us something so that you know Mom and Dad can sleep good
tonight the jury deliberated for 13 hours before reaching its verdict I knew the moment they walked out the door I
remember seeing the jury coming in I remember my heart feeling as though it was going to come out of my chest I can
hear judge Zappa's voice we the jury find the defendant Mark wing [Music] guilty it is the verdict that the
dressers both hoped for and dreaded Ma and papa Iris getting a look now confirmation that they'd been betrayed
and deceived Daddy's feeding you by a man who had been part of their family smile for the camera sweetie I have no
idea what why he did it and I think I will never understand why he did it and I think it's a question that will never
be answered in my mind Winger's parents who had spent a small fortune defending their son were stunned by the verdict we
believe in the absolute innocence of our son we got the best help we could inside we're dying by inches the
jurors say the case against Mark Winger was clear and they believe Dean Schultz she was very emotional up there she
loved Mark at the time I think she was sincerely um telling us the truth I feel free I didn't realize just how Powerful
Secrets can be but ultimately the jurors say the state's best evidence was the first evidence police ever
collected those three Polaroids did did defense offer any acceptable explanation to you about how
the bodies ended up in the position that they were no there was no explanation mark Winger didn't offer any
explanations because he didn't testify but 5 months after the verdict he spoke with 48 hours at a prison in
Pontiac Illinois he now claims that he personally saw the paramedics move Harrington although they all denied that
at trial the bodies have been moved before the Polaroids were taken absolutely why should we believe you why
should you not believe me because a jury didn't what's the best evidence of your
innocence the fact that I had a wonderful marriage everybody knows I had a wonderful marriage with
Donna but Winger cannot explain the note in Harrington's car the thing is I I can't offer you any any answers to you
know why Roger Harrington had 430 written on a note Harrington's family says the
meaning of that note has always been clear Roger went to Winger's home because Mark Winger invited him did you
feel Vindicated yeah yeah how are you doing now pretty good I guess I does it still hurt sure it
hurts [Music] y are you embarrassed oh yes are you very much so former lead detective
Charlie Cox says he learned a valuable lesson how close did he come to getting away with murder very
close instead Mark Winger was sentenced to life in prison which could have been the end of this
story except it wasn't [Music] in Spring 2005 an inmate at the prison in Pontiac came forward and said that
Winger tried to involve him in a murder for H plot I knew in my head that he was
a murderer but my heart had a hard time believing it still the intended victim was Dean
Schulz and Winger's plot was so complicated you might say twisted that it took 19
handwritten pages and hours of secretly recorded conversations to spell it out Dean would be kidnapped and forced
to write and record lengthy statements all scripted by Winger saying that she lied made everything up and believes
Winger is innocent then she'd be killed Winger's notes covered everything only deanne's fingerprints can be on the
tape cassette letters and envelopes her saliva must be found on the stamps and Winger asked for one more victim if
possible oh by the way if there's any money left over kill irod dresser also because he's the son of a gun of a
father-in-law that I dislike in June 2007 Winger stood trial in a Pontiac Illinois courthouse he told
jurors the whole thing was a fantasy he never planned to carry out Ira dresser was there he was chained by his hands
and he was chained by his feet and I looked at him straight in the eye and I said Mark your miserable life is
over this time the jury took less than 3 hours including lunch Mark Winger was convicted of soliciting murder and
sentenced to another 35 years I've always been afraid that he would get out on some technicality
now I know that he will never be free with Winger locked up for good Sarah Jane and Ira dresser are dedicated
to keeping Donna's memory alive Donna really was the ultimate victim of spousal abuse I had to find a way to
keep her Spirit going and they do that by helping other Abused Women raising money for a charity named for Donna we
established a fund at women in distress and not only do we help the women we help the children smile and that is all
in Donna's spirit [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
