Man Faints After Realizing He Accidentally Killed His Wife | Forensic Files

Inside this car are multi-millionaire business owners Matthew Molicone and his wife Kimberly. Matthew is seconds away
from confronting the man who's been in a secret affair with his wife. He has a plan to get revenge, but has no idea how
horribly it's about to play out. >> Get out OF HERE, BRO. GET out of here. >> STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE.
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT the >> [groaning] >> We're taking one back to the road.
>> You need to get back over here. Give us my wife. Get to work, please. >> Hands up.
>> As officers rush to the scene, they're met with multiple shooters, families scrambling for help, and two critically
injured victims. And while Matthew sits in the back of a cop car, he has no idea
his wife, the one he just got into a shootout over, is lying feet away with a fatal wound to her neck.
>> Please. She's She didn't make it. SHE DIED. >> OH, NO. NO. NO. Sheriff's Department.
>> Police are stepping inside the nearly 8,000 square ft mansion of Matthew and Kimberly Mullikone. Arriving in the
middle of a rapidly developing homicide investigation. The married couple are well educated, successful business
owners. Together they run State Barricades Incorporated, a traffic equipment company generating an
estimated $3 to6 million annually. They live here with their three teenage children. And from the outside, the
Mullicons appear to have built a stable, comfortable, and luxurious life. Or so it seems. Because behind these walls,
someone has been living with a dark secret. One that's been buried for years. and it will soon change this
family's life forever. These officers are here to execute a search warrant following the sudden
passing of Kimberly the previous night. They need to document [music] the scene,
collect evidence, and piece together what led up to the incident. >> Sheriff's department.
>> Sheriff, >> we have overlooking upstairs. >> I'm going to clear this wing. Just there's a safe.
>> Sheriff's permit. >> There's another room upstairs. >> Inside the mansion, the wealth is
impossible to miss as officers sweep through multiple entertainment spaces and rooms dedicated to leisure. But as
they look deeper, grim details start to emerge. >> Looks like maybe drugs on the table,
boss. >> Yeah, on the table. >> And there's pain on the table. it. This is definitely a sign of there's
a big struggle going on here. >> In the basement, on a coffee table, officers find lines of laid out beside a
straw and a razor blade. The physical findings inside the mansion are only the first hints of what's been happening
behind closed doors. And the officers searching this home are walking through the opening chapter of the tragic
downfall awaiting the Miconee family. Approximately 15 hours earlier, around 7:15 p.m., Kimberly and Matthew start
their night in the basement of their mansion, drinking, smoking, and using substances. This is not the first time
they've done this, but this time, an argument about Kimberly's affair with another man is in full swing. Matthew
believed the affair ended years ago after he confronted her about it. But earlier that day, he discovered it never
stopped and that Kimberly transferred nearly $60,000 from their company funds to her lover's debit and credit
accounts. Around 7:15 p.m., the argument escalates physically. Matthew begins throwing objects, breaking glass,
shoving Kimberly, and shouting insults, and the basement starts to look like the
aftermath of a struggle. At 9:20 p.m., the couple leave the mansion in their white Jeep Grand
Cherokee. Matthew has one firearm on his hip and another accessible inside the vehicle. At the same time, Kimberly's
secret lover is at home winding down from a barbecue with his [music] pregnant fiance, his parents next door,
and his sister's kids playing outside. They have no idea that within minutes, their quiet evening will take a drastic
change. 911. What is the address of the emergency? Need >> an ambulance. >> What is the address?
>> House and they pulled out a >> What is the address? >> I don't know the address here.
>> Where are you calling from? >> There's a house just out the 29 mile on the east side.
>> I'm in the line of fire. >> Okay. Where is the person with the gun? >> Behind the car.
>> Where is the person that is? >> He's in the south. Sir, do you have a weapon on you?
>> Yes, I do. >> You You do? What is your name? >> Captain Mal. >> Approximately 5 minutes after this
alarming call, a team of 31 officers from the Mcome County Sheriff's Office is mobilized and dispatched to the
location. All they know is that a man named Matthew Molone is trapped in the line of fire and that somewhere nearby,
an active shooter is targeting innocent victims. When officers arrive, they quickly notice Matthew taking cover
behind a smoking car. >> Get down. Get down. Get down. Hands behind your back. >> Don't move.
>> What's your name? Responsible. >> What's your name? >> What's your name? [snorts]
>> Her name's Kim. >> Her name's Kim. >> Don't move. Don't move. >> All right. I got my wife.
>> He's in custody. Homeowner and shooter still in the home. >> She didn't deserve this.
>> Okay, we got a shooter in the house right there. >> He's 30 35ish. >> 35 years old.
>> White t-shirt, black hair, white name. What's his name? >> Danny. >> Danny. >> We got Danny, 35 years old, white
t-shirt, dark hair. >> Don't trust him. He carries two guns. >> Possible. Two guns.
>> Help her, please. >> Never mind the shooter. >> Help. Never mind the shooter. You're
buying a car. I need to get to work. >> Matthew is clearly distressed, begging officers to save his wife, Kimberly, who
is still trapped in the backseat of a car about 100 ft away. 300 ft beyond the car stands the shooter's hideout. A
house with multiple windows, an open garage door, and countless angles from which to fire. In the next few seconds,
the officers must make a snap decision. Neutralize the shooter first and risk Kimberly bleeding out or step into the
dangerous open field to save her. >> ANYBODY IN THE JEEP, STEP OUT NOW WITH YOUR HANDS UP. Hands up. Face away from
me. Get out of the Jeep. >> I got you. I got you. Take her. [ __ ] >> All right.
LET'S GO. COME THIS WAY. COME THIS WAY. COVER. CAM. Hang in there. Ambulance. >> Do we know how many we have in the
house? >> You pulled me in front of the front door. Pull her this way. Pull her this
way now. 5 ft. Come on. Let's go. Come on, man. It's time to start shooting. Do it.
>> This am. >> She's more important than that [ __ ] >> She don't deserve this, man. Hey. Hey.
Get to work. Please. Please. I don't care what you know. You got to get to work.
>> You need to get back in here. >> Lay down. >> Give us my wife. Get to work. Please.
PLEASE. PLEASE. I'M BEGGING YOU. >> CPR something. >> CPR. Listen. We We have an active
shooter, man. We can't I can't. >> I'll do it then. >> I NEED A CAR. >> POLICE CAR DOWN THIS WAY.
>> Need cover. >> We have Looks like one gunshot wound to the neck. The caller says there's an
elderly male with a white t-shirt and it's at the garage. Her father, not the shooter.
>> Okay. >> After managing to pull Kimberly from the car, paramedics begin working urgently
to save her. She's been shot in the neck and is unconscious, so every passing second matters. At the same [music]
time, SWAT prepares to move in and neutralize what they believe is an active shooter barricaded inside the
house. At this point, officers are operating almost entirely off of Matthew's account, thinking there's an
armed gunman inside. In reality, there's no active shooter at all. Only a wounded
homeowner and several family members inside the residence. Without that context, every tactical decision carries
enormous risk and [music] could put innocent lives in danger. And within seconds, that possibility is tested when
the two elderly parents suddenly emerge from the house. Hands off. Hands off. >> You're ruining my boy.
>> Come. Walk out. >> Come here, sir. >> Right behind you. You'll call it out. Come here,
>> sir. >> How many? Come on, >> sir. Stop one second, ma'am. You keep walking towards me. Stop.
>> Come on. >> Right here. Come. Come here. Come here. Come here. Over here. Hands behind your
back. >> It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. >> It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's
okay. >> Who else is in the house? >> My daughter alone. My little grandchildren.
>> Two little children. My my daughter Gabriel. >> Your daughter two and your son. My
>> Where's your son at? >> In the floor. >> Yeah, right here. >> Salvatore. Next to your left foot.
>> Because of a language barrier, officers are only able to piece together fragments of what the elderly couple is
saying. It sounds like their son is wounded inside the home along with his fianceé, sister, and two children.
Strangely, the couple themselves appear unharmed, despite having just exited the
same house where the alleged gunman is believed to be hiding. This observation leads officers to believe that the
wounded son inside the house is the gunman Matthew claimed had been firing at him when police first arrived. But
before they can reassess their strategy, someone else suddenly rushes out of the
house. Keep walking. Come straight out. >> Go to your right side of the car. Right.
>> Keep your hands up if you can see them. >> With the three more family members out
of the house, police now believe only two people inside remain. The elderly couple's son and his fianceé. And based
on Matthew's 911 call and earlier statements, they're operating under the assumption that the son inside is armed
and extremely dangerous. So officers tighten the perimeter and cautiously advance towards the house, preparing for
a potential shootout. >> I got it. There's a I got a revolver on the ground here.
>> Hold that ground. >> Yep. I got a revolver on the ground right here. Hey, Ryan, careful. I think
the shooting happened right here. So I see a shell. I got a pistol. So just watch where you're stopping.
>> A couple more guns in the house. We just got the two. We're going to try to get
this guy out. >> SHERIFF. SHERIFF. SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. >> On the ground. On the ground.
>> On the ground in that closet. We'll just leave it there, guys. Okay. It's going to hurt. Hey. Hey. Listen,
dude. It's going to hurt, but it's it it's it's for your best good. All right. Is that bleeding hot? No.
>> What's your name? >> Danny. >> Danny. I'm Jason. How you doing? >> Inside the residence, officers find
38-year-old homeowner Daniel Geian suffering from two gunshot wounds. Beside him, his fianceé, Elona, is
desperately trying to stop the bleeding. Police call in paramedics to treat Daniel's wounds. Daniel himself doesn't
appear to be the aggressive gunman Matthew described, and his officers begin speaking with him. They quickly
realize the situation may be the complete opposite of what they first believed. >> Or if it went in and then came out.
>> Okay. >> So, I was running away. So what? >> I don't know how many obvious shots were fired.
>> Whatever was in that gun. >> This is the gun that shot you here. >> No, that's the gun I I had with me.
>> You didn't have a rifle? >> No, no rifle. >> Can we help you stand up or do you want
us to carry it? >> Um, >> keep the camera back on. >> Keep the camera on. >> Yeah.
>> What's that? Y got it. >> By some miracle, officers finally managed to stabilize the scene without
further. Following this, Daniel is placed on a stretcher and carried out of the house
to be [music] transported to the hospital. Thanks to his fiance's quick efforts to control the bleeding, he has
a chance to survive. However, the outcome is [music] different for Kimberly as on the other side of the
property, paramedics reach a grim conclusion. >> She Yeah. No, she's dead. >> We got a shine going.
We can't leave her, but we can't like just just take her because she's with you. She's
>> Tragically, Kimberly does not survive her injuries, leaving behind her three children and her husband, Matthew, still
unaware that she's dead. With that, the case immediately turns into a homicide investigation, and
police must determine exactly what happened, as it's clear something isn't adding up. Just a few hundred feet away,
Matthew is placed in a patrol car and transported [music] to the station. Daniel's fiance, sister, and parents are
also taken to the station for questioning. Back inside the house, officers finally have a moment to
breathe and begin piecing together what happened. But not for long, because they're about to discover there's an
entire basement they missed during the initial search. It's completely unchecked with something interesting
waiting downstairs. We got them. We got enough of these. I'll pick >> cleared it pretty quick. So, just take a
good look around. I know there's a like there was a Ruger 102 in one. >> Okay. All right.
>> You clear piss check, Ryan. All right. Come in with us here. >> You go with Justin.
I'm just clearing that. We got a door closed. >> I'm just going to open it. Go ahead.
>> Don't go. Don't go. You okay? >> Yep. Clear. >> As if things weren't already complicated, the officers just stumbled
upon something entirely unexpected. A seemingly hidden marijuana grow operation. But the biggest discovery is
what they don't find. [music] CCTV cameras. Officers already spotted multiple cameras around the house,
making the absence of any in the basement suspicious. This exact CCTV system will soon prove crucial to
solving the case, revealing exactly how the shooting unfolded and who fired the fatal shot.
>> Beautiful. You got cameras. He's got cameras. By the time the house is fully cleared,
police begin locking down the scene and send Kimberly's body for autopsy. Following this, some of the most
experienced investigators in the state are brought in to take over the case, led by Detective Frasier of the Mcome
County Sheriff's Office. Frraasier quickly begins identifying the people he and his team will need to focus on.
Matthew, a supposed victim of the shooting. Daniel, the wounded homeowner, and Daniel's inner circle, mainly his
sister Gabriella and his fianceé, Elona. Despite the detectives combined decades
of experience, this case will push them to their limits, eventually leading to one of the most morally controversial
trials in the state of Michigan and forcing detectives to make one of the hardest calls of their careers, letting
the man who fired the fatal shot walk free. It's now 3 hours after the shooting, and
based on preliminary statements from responding officers, investigators believe they may be dealing with a
volatile dispute between two families with multiple shooters in the picture. So, they need to determine what sparked
the conflict and who fired the fatal shot that ended Kimberly's life. However, there is one major problem
ahead. In cases like this, there is no neutral ground. Every statement will be biased and each person will blame the
other side. Additionally, both primary suspects are temporarily off the table as Daniel is being treated at the
hospital and Matthew is too emotionally volatile to be interviewed. Still, investigators have to start somewhere.
So, they decide to begin by interviewing Daniel's family, starting with his fianceé, Elona. Her account will be
compared against other witness statements, looking for inconsistencies that might expose the truth. But for
Aliona, this interview serves a different purpose as she will slowly begin to realize that the man she plans
to marry has been living a secret double life for years. >> Anytime you want to be done, just let me
know. You're not under arrest or anything like that. We're just trying to piece together what happened as I'm sure
you are as well. Yeah, I would like to know kind of like >> Okay, >> we like heard like little shots and I
didn't like for a second I was like, "Oh, is like like Danny like staring the chickens with like a fake gun or
something like that?" Because like we have six chickens and they always come to the front and we're trying to train
him to stay in the back. >> Okay. >> Not that like I wasn't concerned, but I was like, "Oh, maybe it's like the
chickens." But then it [snorts] was like shot after shot after shot after shot. I
was like, "Girls, like come over here. like stay away from the windows and like >> and then SWAT came in
>> like literally like hands in the air like >> but I guess [snorts] >> you know whatever I don't know I guess
that's how it works. So and then we were out then we came out of the front door too.
>> Based on Aliona's words it appears she has no clear understanding of what sparked the shooting. In reality she
knows more than she thinks. She just needs the right questions to connect the dots. There's no way. There's no way.
>> Who's this guy at your house? >> He says stay away from my wife. So, that's got to be either somebody he's
like >> Ellie >> either been with or is with right now. I don't know. >> Who Who has he been with?
>> I know he was with the lady, but as far >> Kim. Okay. >> But as far as I know, they were like
done. >> Okay. So, why is he showing up at your house now? >> Not that's that's a good question. Now,
I don't I don't understand why she would come with him, like why she would bring
him there. That's kind of weird, too, though. If I was having an affair, I wouldn't exactly take my husband
to the person that I'm having an affair with. >> Sounds like maybe things didn't end
there. [music] If that if this guy's showing up saying that, >> great timing. Things are finally starting to make
sense in the room, and it's becoming clear to detectives that fiance, Daniel, had a past affair with Matthew's wife,
Kimberly. Yet, Oona seems clueless that the affair was still ongoing. She's convinced it ended long ago and that
they were happy together again. Whether that's the actual truth remains to be seen.
By now, investigators understand they're dealing with people who have secrets and
that no one involved can be taken at face value, especially the two men at the center of it all, Daniel and
Matthew. So, with Elona's statement recorded, investigators wrap up the interview and prepare to speak with
Daniel's sister, Gabriella, the mother who fled the house with her terrified children when SWAT arrived. Unlike
Elona, Gabriella will prove far more aware of her brother's secret affair with Kimberly.
>> There's a lot going on tonight and we're just trying to get to the bottom of it.
>> This is horrifying. Horrifying that this would happen on our home. My mom was
inside. Ali, I could see them over at his house. My brother's barbecuing. They were hanging out. Girls were excited.
DTE comes. We start having a conversation telling me what's going on. Well, then I started hearing crazy
rounds of gunshots. like not normal. So I look over and I just start hearing yelling. I see this white Grand Cherokee
in the driveway, a lady out of the car screaming. At that point, I had no idea who it was, what was going on. This
maniac comes at me ready to shoot me and my husband. I heard the the lady go, "No, Matt, no. She has kids. No, Matt,
no." And my husband's like, "What's what? What?" and I dropped to the ground. I pissed myself, lost my shoes,
everything. >> Do Were you able to see where Dan came from? >> I don't know for certain. My brother
didn't have My brother has a CPL. He didn't have it on him. Obviously, we were home. We would think that something
like that would happen. I'm assuming he ran in, grabbed his gun, and came out. >> Okay.
>> To defend himself, >> he normally carries a gun. >> He has a Yes, he always has his
concealed uh pistol on him. Always. This is something a crazed lunatic would do to a
to a family. >> Naturally, Gabriella takes her brother's side, claiming Matthew was the aggressor
and insisting Daniel acted purely in self-defense. However, this version of events will later be called into
question once detectives finally get their hands on the CCTV footage. For now, though, Frasier shifts the
conversation to Daniel's secret affair, hoping to uncover whether Daniel could have killed his own lover. Worse yet, in
front of his own children and family. >> As far as Dan goes and this this fella that shows up, have you ever seen this
guy before? >> I have seen him once. Um, my brother Dan and Kim Malikon. >> Mhm.
>> The reason why I found out who Matt was is because I saw her. She's like, "Matt,
no." And I knew that was her husband. So, I knew that she had relations with my brother years ago. I know that she's
had a tumultuous relationship over the years with her husband. That's all that I know. She used to call me on numerous
times. Um, basically telling me, you know, what's going on with her life? I felt bad for her cuz I knew that she was
an addict and I know that he was an addict. >> When's the last time that you've talked
to her? >> Maybe a few months. >> So, it's been a little bit of a >> But she would call me from different
numbers all the time. It would never be her number cuz I wouldn't pick up for her number.
>> She texted you? >> Yeah. From different numbers again cuz I would not pick up for her anymore. I
just I had her blocked. I couldn't I didn't want to expose myself to that anymore. I didn't think I didn't think
it was appropriate. My brother knew that. Like what happened today I know is is wrong and it's inappropriate.
>> Yeah. >> Highly inappropriate. >> Yeah. I understand. >> And mortifying and my children would be
exposed to this. I'm very disturbed. >> Yeah. Okay. And and and that's fully. So, I mean, this and my parents and my
80-year-old dad and my 76-year-old mom. I just >> I feel like I'm in a movie right now.
>> Gabriella leaves little room for doubt. The affair between her brother and Kimberly is, in her view, the catalyst
for the entire confrontation. With that in mind, detectives conclude Gabriella's
interview and begin weighing their next move. Lead Detective Frasier has more than two decades of homicide experience,
and by now he has a working theory of how the shooting began and what connects the two primary suspects. But one
crucial detail remains unresolved. Who fired the fatal shot that ended Kimberly's life.
Approximately 6 hours after the shooting, investigators receive a critical update. Daniel has stabilized
and is asking to tell his side of the story. An hour later, officers wield Daniel into the interrogation room. He
appears visibly shaken and still in pain. There's a gunshot wound above his right knee and another injury on his
right foot. Just hours ago, he was bleeding inside his own home with his family only feet away from the deadly
crossfire. The whole thing lasted seconds, but in those seconds, everything changed. And it's moments
like these that you can realize just how fast your life can change. In January 2021, 62-year-old Lewis Brown was
driving to work at his job as a deli meat cutter when another driver pulled out into an intersection and collided
with him. The crash left him with severe injuries that changed his life forever.
And [music] the worst part, he was only offered $50,000 to settle the case. Instead of accepting that, he turned to
this video's sponsor, Morgan and Morgan. With their experienced legal team, the case ultimately resulted in a $5.8 $8
million jury verdict for Mr. Brown. There's a reason his case didn't end [music] at $50,000. And that's the
reason why Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. For over 35 years, they've been fighting for
the people and have recovered over $30 billion for their clients. With more than 1,000 lawyers and over 100 offices
nationwide, they have the resources to handle serious injury cases across all 50 states. If you're ever injured
because of someone else's negligence, you deserve fair compensation. Morgan and Morgan fights to get their clients
the best possible outcome. And crucially, you don't pay a fee unless they win. There are no upfront costs.

to the investigation where Daniel has just been brought in from the hospital to provide his account of what happened
the previous night. Detective Frasier knows that Daniel is a man with secrets. Everything he says could be a carefully
crafted story. And for all they know, they might be sitting across from Kimberly's killer.
>> Mr. >> Hey, how you doing? I've seen better days. >> Oh, I'm sure you have. Obviously,
there's a lot of things that took place tonight. So, um I'm going to start by just kind of letting you like why don't
you just tell us what happened? I was just in a girl, you know, just got done barbecuing.
>> Mhm. >> You know, and next thing you know, this white truck I I didn't know who it was
at all. you know, the white truck came out and um man came out of the car, came towards me. I didn't know who it
was, you know, I had my business truck outside. I figured, you know, was filming. He wanted something, but he
came to me pretty aggressive. And from that point on, like it's just like a days for me and and he like, you know,
he he like showed me his gun, you know what I'm saying? and I I had my weapon on me and um you know I'm like leave and
next thing you know like you know he's he's ready to fire shots at me and that's all I remember. I swear like
everything was like blank from that point on like I just was like it just like I froze. I don't know.
I froze like when he pointed that gun at me like started shooting. I just froze.
I don't remember anything like I just froze. >> According to Daniel, Matthew arrived out
of nowhere and immediately started brandishing a gun on his property. But this is where the story begins to blur
between self-defense and murder because detectives are about to learn that Daniel's own actions may have set the
deadly shooting in motion. >> Would you be able to just kind of draw me a layout of where your garage and how
your driveway is and stuff? Okay. >> Of the barbecue was right here cuz I just got done barbecuing. Burke van was
right here. >> Okay. >> So, this car pulls up >> right in the freaking driveway like he
he owned the house. >> Okay. So, that car pulls up and you're outside. >> I'm outside. I'm like I'm in between the
garage like inside the garage. He comes up there. >> Stay away from my wife. I'm like, "What
are you talking about?" Say, and then all of a sudden then like it hits like a light bulb. He comes out of the car and
he's like, you know, he's brandishing his gun when he's walking up like he's about to shoot me.
>> Like what do you mean by that? >> Like he had his gun like he was pulling it up like you look like he was ready to
fire. He's like ready to fire and I you know he's ready to grab his gun and boom, I shot one in the air. I'm like
get the out of here. You shot one in the air? >> Yeah, cuz he was going to pull his gun
out and he like he looked like he was about to leave. The bastard started firing shots and I ran out and I I you
know I ran for my life at that point. I'm out of bullets. So then I'm running around the house. He got me. He's firing
at me at the corner of the house. I had another firearm inside the garage. >> So you grab that second firearm?
>> Yes. >> And what is it? What kind of gun is that? >> It was a It was a a Glock. Okay. So, it
was a 27. >> This is the time that you need to get this out, okay? We [snorts] don't want
to go down the road and you be like, "Oh, I said, you know, >> everything is on surveillance camera."
>> Okay? >> Everything is on surveillance camera. I'm going to tell you like what I
remember because after those shots were been fired at me, like I just don't remember anything after that point.
Like, I just like panicked. I panicked when he started shooting at me. Like, I panicked. I just wanted him to leave.
What Daniel has just revealed is exactly what investigators have been waiting for. During the house search, officers
observed multiple cameras positioned around the property, pointing directly towards where the shooting occurred.
Detective Frasier knows he needs access to that footage. But he must wait for the right moment to secure Daniel's
cooperation. Up to this point, Daniel has presented himself as nothing more than a victim, claiming he fired only a
warning shot. Yet, something about his story isn't adding up. Throughout the interrogation, he never once mentions
the other person in the car, Kimberly. Detectives already know about the secret affair from speaking with Daniel's
relatives, and they're not about to let him off the hook. So, Frasier begins to apply pressure, forcing Daniel to drop
the act and expose one of his secrets. >> Well, let's let's get into a little more
detail leading up to the point where you froze. Well, I saw like the woman come out of the car and you know I you know I
had I'd known this woman, you know what I mean? I didn't know she was married or
anything, you know? >> So So here's I'm going to I'm going to tell you right now, Dan, some of the
questions that we're asking you, right? We might already know the answers to some of them, right?
>> And I'm not I'm not trying this is your job. >> I'm not trying to play games with you
and I'm not trying to act like I know some you don't. trying to go home and get this done as possible.
>> Here's the deal, Dan. You know, obviously Kim was somebody that you knew, right?
>> And you knew knew her on a personal level? >> Yes. >> Can you explain that to me?
>> Oh, I've known this girl for quite some time. And um ever since I met my wife, I
I just parted way. Okay. You know, >> I'm trying to put this together. We we did get the information. We know that
you had relations with her. Let's go back. If I've had >> have had, right? >> But what I'm trying to figure out is why
tonight. >> That's what I'm trying to figure out, >> right? Danny, what happened recently?
Why would this come to fruition tonight? >> I swear on everything. I have no idea
cuz that's what my wife was telling me. What is going on? I don't have any calls
from like I don't call her period. Now, I know in the past your now fiance >> had some issues with her.
>> Yes. >> Do you know if maybe these two started talking recently or has she alluded to
that that maybe >> I know >> Do you know if Kim knows that you're having a baby?
>> I don't know. I don't know. I >> It's just Tuesday night, 9:00 at night. Why now?
>> I don't know. That's that's the same thing I'm trying to get at because I haven't with her in a long time. It's
already been 2 years. I was done. As soon as I met this girl, I was I was done. I'm like changing my life around
them. >> It's evident the detectives are on to something here. Daniel insists he hasn't
seen or texted Kimberly for 2 years. Something that can easily be verified once they access his phone. Though,
Daniel's phone holds something far more important to the investigation. CCTV footage. But once detectives decide to
ask Daniel for access, his answer will raise serious suspicion to say the least.
>> No, no, no. Me and my wife, man, we're best friends. Like, we do everything together. If I show you my phone, I'll
show you the things that we do. We We are always >> How can I access your phone?
>> Well, why you guys need my phone, though? >> Well, this is what's going to happen. We
have your phone. We also have your fiance's phone. We're going to get the information one way or another. The
other part of it too is it it just goes to the other part of this story, right? Because obviously there's a couple sides
to this story. You got your side, got his side, right? >> Obviously his take on things is
different than yours, right? It's going to be right. >> You have you have you're presenting us
with your your version. >> We have another version. >> Guess what? We've got cameras that
caught it all. >> Right. >> We need to look at that. >> Yeah. If we don't get to see these
cameras, >> I need to speak to somebody to tell me to direct me the right to the right
route. Guys, you got to understand. I want to help, but I have to have my motor.
>> What kind of cameras do you have? >> I have Ring cameras. >> Ring cameras. >> And they're surrounded.
>> You You said it caught the whole thing, right? >> Shut up. Yes. >> I know what you're doing, Danny. You
want to watch this first and make sure that it all adds up. >> No, no. I'm I'm I I'm telling you guys
100% truth, guys. Honest to God, >> I have nothing to hide. I want to help you guys. But now, like,
>> are you worried about it? >> Absolutely not. This man came to my house. I mean, this man came to my own.
>> Are you into some other illegal activity that you're worried about on your phone?
>> Absolutely not. >> Like, I know you have a grow for it. I got to speak to somebody. If I
could speak to somebody, one of my to see what the house should do. I I want to I do want to let you know something
though in this situation. Uh Kim, she's dead. So she was struck by a bullet and she's
dead. So I mean I don't I apparently nobody told you that. >> I don't know. I don't know what the hell
happened if he did. >> Did anybody Did anybody tell you that, Danny? Okay. So maybe this will shed a little bit of
light of why we have to do our due diligence here because somebody lost their life.
>> He came to my house. I did nothing wrong. >> We're just trying to make >> I did nothing wrong. I did nothing
wrong. They came to my house, man. I had my nieces. This guy is shooting at me. [ __ ] 17 [ __ ] shots.
>> Needless to say, this is not what investigators were hoping for. Even after Detective Frasier brings up the
marijuana grow operation in the basement as leverage to encourage cooperation, Daniel quickly clarifies that everything
is legal and refuses to grant access to his phone without an attorney present, effectively forcing them to end the
interview. With Daniel's refusal, detectives become more certain than ever that there's something on that phone he
doesn't want them to see. Yet, the only other way to access it is through a search warrant. Something far easier
said than done. Now it's Daniel's word against Matthews. A development that complicates the investigation
significantly. The CCTV footage could have been crucial during Matthew's interview. With multiple cameras around
the house recording 24/7, the answer to who fired the fatal shot lies somewhere in that footage.
Despite this setback, detectives settle on a strategy. They decide to hold Matthew overnight. time that may
pressure him to break and reveal how the shooting really unfolded when the interview begins. In the meantime,
officers obtain a search warrant for Matthew and Kimberly's home and head there, hoping to find anything that
could help guide his interrogation. When officers arrive at the Miconee residence, they're initially met with
signs of wealth and comfort, but that impression fades quickly once they step into the basement.
table. >> Is it just the rifle on that table? >> No. >> No. >> Only Paul's in there right now. There's
>> No, but there's definitely signs of stuff being thrown and shattered. There was definitely a struggle in his
>> It's clear that the basement was the aftermath of a violent altercation. Officers also discover pain residue and
a straw, suggesting that Matthew may have been heavily under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the shooting.
As they continue the search, officers locate multiple gun safes in the basement and elsewhere in the house.
Upstairs in the primary bedroom closet, they find a small clear plastic bag containing.
Taken together, the findings paint a picture of a home stocked with firearms and narcotics. details that will be
crucial during Matthew's interview. With the scene documented, officers relay their findings to Detective Frasier, who
decides it's time to speak with Matthew. He's been restless for hours about Kimberly's condition, still unaware of
her tragic death. >> Is she okay? >> I wasn't out there, sir. I' I've been here the whole time.
>> You can't find out for me. >> I told you we couldn't tell you, sir. >> Oh my god.
No. God, help her. God, please. She didn't deserve this. >> What's up? >> Hey, >> how's my wife?
>> All right, here's what's going to happen. >> Is she okay, >> Matt? >> Yeah. >> If I unhandcuff you, you're going to
behave yourself? >> Yes. >> Okay. We don't have any issues there. >> What? >> When I unhandcuff you, I want you to
have a seat. Okay, partner. >> Oh, boy. It's not good. >> No, it's not good. But
>> is she alive? Is she alive? >> Hold on. Relax. Sit down. >> Is my wife alive?
>> We're going to talk real quick here. Okay, hold on one second. >> Oh my god. Tell me,
please. >> She's She didn't MAKE IT. SHE >> OH, [screaming] NO. NO. NO. NO. [screaming]
Oh my god. No. No. Oh my god. Was she in the chest? Oh my god. I saw her. I was next to her trying to
get the out of there as these shes were dry in reverse. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. What has he done? Matthew appears
devastated, unable to control his emotions. Yet to Detective Frasier, something about his reaction feels off.
Detectives like Frraasier are trained never to take anything at face value, carefully watching for even the smallest
inconsistencies in a suspect's behavior. And in the moments that follow, Frasier's instincts would [music] prove
correct as Matthew's behavior is about to shift completely. just happened. PSYCHO [screaming]
THAT. OH MY GOD. DID HE MAKE IT? That's why my wife's dead is cuz I'm a horrible child.
What a psychopath. >> Do you want to tell me about it? >> Sure. This guy and my wife have been
having an affair for 9 and 1/2 years. I found out about it 6 and 1/2 years ago and um and I found out about it again 45
days ago. We were going to the house for her to tell him, "Stop calling me. I'm done with you. He's engaged, too." You
know, he's cheating on his fiance. She's cheating on me. You know, she was going
to end it. I said, "I'll go with you. make sure it's safe there cuz he's got got him and
the girl there. >> After his emotional breakdown, Matthew suddenly regains composure, prompting
Detective Frasier to question whether the reaction was genuine or calculated. But once he's calm, Frasier asks Matthew
to walk him through the shooting step by step. It's a strategic decision to lock
him into a specific version of events, especially because Matthew has absolutely no idea the entire
confrontation was captured on surveillance cameras. >> And I get out of the car. As soon as I
get out of the car, he comes out of the garage. Well, like us, like a police officer, right at my face, and I put my
hands up and I say, "Whoa, bro." And she screams at him, "Danny." And I said, "Stop with
my wife." Soon as I said that, he shot at me. I ducked around to the back of this car, this car here.
And I pulled my firearm and I started at him. He ran this way. I said, "Kim, get
in the car." We got in the car. We were backing out and he my wife and the car stopped working. I couldn't get it in
gear. So, I got in behind I got behind the car and I called 911. That's it. That's it.
That's how fast it when he shot my wife, the car like stopped somehow and I I got
out. He was shooting at the car. I got out of the car and I I was shoot back again and he ran around the side of the
house [music] and then I didn't see him no more. And then I went to my wife and I hid behind the back of the car. Why
would he do that? Like she went there to talk to him and this guy comes out like
goddamn Rambo firing his I had my hands in the air with no weapon. My clip was concealed. Off detective. My gun was in
its holster and concealed. I was like this. As expected, Matthew's story is the complete opposite of Daniel's. He
insinuates that he acted in self-defense and claims that Kimberly's death was simply because he's a bad shot. Though
one detail in his account immediately stands out. Matthew insists his weapon was concealed the entire time. Yet when
he reenacts the moment and raises his hands, the detective can clearly see that the gun would have been visible.
But before Detective Frasier can press him on that inconsistency, he is called out of the room with a critical update.
The CCTV footage has just come in. Daniel has finally agreed to grant access to the footage, either out of
guilt or confidence that it will clear his name. So, detectives immediately begin combing through the recordings,
and it doesn't take long before cracks begin to form in both men's stories. At 9:30 p.m., Matthew's car arrives at
the property, and at first, events appear to follow his version of the story. The first gunshot heard in the
background is fired by Daniel as a warning, just as both men described in their interviews. But in the minutes
that follow, things begin to unfold very differently from what either man claimed. And it will determine which of
them spends the rest of his life behind bars. >> Danny, get out of >> Stay AWAY FROM MY WIFE.
>> STOP IT. STOP IT. STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE. >> DANNY, [screaming] NO. IS THAT >> Who else has a
>> Get out OF HERE. LET'S GO. >> WHO ELSE HAS A GUN? >> Let's go. Get out of here.
>> In the chaos, as both men exchange gunfire, a single bullet tragically strikes Kimberly. And although Matthew
was clearly the aggressor, the fatal shot came from Daniel's weapon, complicating the investigation and
making it harder to determine who is truly at fault. Armed with this new evidence, Detective Frasier returns to
the interrogation room, ready to apply more pressure, knowing the CCTV footage has completely dismantled Matthew's
version of events. And in the next few moments, Matthew would unknowingly dig himself into a grave.
>> Were you guys drinking today? >> Yeah. >> Okay. How about drugs? Were you doing
any drugs? What were you doing? >> A little coana. Okay. So, you're doing marijuana doing some
drinking and you decide to go up there with her. You'reing pissed. >> Uh, no. >> You weren't mad. Some guy is boinking
your wife. >> Detective, listen. >> And you're not mad about it? >> I've known about this for 6 and 1/2
years, >> right? >> I was mad. >> And you were told it was cut off, right? >> Yeah.
>> And then today, you're told it's not cut off. off 45 days ago. I was told it's
not cut off. >> And you're saying your wife was driving and your wife was in that driver's seat.
Every time you guys went to leave, went to do whatever, you're saying now that your your wife was in the driver's seat.
>> Yes. She drove there and she got in the driver's seat and put it in reverse >> to back up.
>> Correct. >> But the car wouldn't What happened with the car? >> I don't know if we hit something. I I it
was smoking. Maybe he shot it. I don't know. It wouldn't It wouldn't move. >> What do you mean you were What is that?
>> I had it in reverse and it it felt like it was stuck either [clears throat] in some mud.
>> Mhm. It It just It would It wasn't going and then it started smoking from the hood.
And when I saw that, I got out of the car. >> So, you were It was like Was it like
>> you had it in gear, but you were stopping on the gas? She fell over to the side. He's at us at
this point. I hop from the passenger into the driver, turn it, and I it won't go. I got And I'm like this, you know.
Mhm. And it won't go. So then finally, I put it in park and I get out and I go behind the vehicle and that's where I
called you. In a not so unexpected turn, Matthew admits to taking beforehand. Something [music] detectives already
knew after searching his house. It's at this moment that Detective Frasier would
finally confront Matthew with the one piece of evidence he can't talk his way out of.
>> I don't know anybody that's going to buy this. I wasn't mad. I went there like
all cool, all great. just thought it was going to be a, >> you know, I'm sorry, but I don't believe
that for a second, Matt. And and I don't think anybody else does either because it just doesn't make any sense.
>> Well, that's going to be easy to prove your uh theory wrong. >> Go check for blood in the garage or a
bullet hole in the in the in the garage. >> Also, the cameras. >> Okay, there you go. Beautiful. We got
cameras. He's got cameras, >> does he? >> I can't tell you [music] all that. >> Well, I hope hope he does. You better.
You You'll look for those, correct? >> We gather all the facts. >> Okay, good. >> Everybody's got a story, right, to tell
>> I hope he's got cameras. >> You know, the the problem is is that you drove up there in that driveway
and [music] that started this whole chain of events. >> What's illegal about that? One of the
cameras, um, you know, those Ring doorbell ones. >> Uhhuh. >> One of the cameras was pointed right
where you guys were. >> Okay. Good. >> And And [music] you're telling me right now
>> this is true. >> You'll see. >> You're saying the exact This exact story is true. What you what you described to
me. >> Yes. I I hope you >> And that's it. You're not >> leaving anything out. That's [music] how
quick and that's what happened. >> I don't know how this is going to play out. I really don't. the truth prevails.
>> Hopefully, it does. >> With the evidence laid bare, Detective Frasier concludes the interview. Now, he
and his team need to do their due diligence before making the hardest decision of the entire case. Who, if
anyone, should be charged for Kimberly's death. In the days [music] that follow,
recorded jail calls capture Matthew sounding confident he can beat the case, insisting the truth will clear his name.
Hi. [music] >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Love you guys. >> Love you. >> Love you, too. >> I miss you.
>> Miss you, too. >> Going to get all this situated. I'm going to get home to you soon. Okay.
>> All right. >> Thank good. >> Okay. Good. I got the truth. I got God. And I got the best lawyer in the state
of Michigan. So, I'm going to get home to you guys soon. All right. >> All right, Dad. Sounds good.
>> As Matthew waits in jail, detectives and prosecutors continue investigating to
determine which of the two men will ultimately be held accountable for Kimberly's death. On paper, the answer
isn't obvious. The fatal bullet came from Daniel's gun, but the CCTV shows Matthew initiating the confrontation.
Detectives and prosecutors debate two options. charge both men and let a jury decide or treat Daniel as a homeowner
defending himself and his family and place the legal responsibility solely on Matthew. In the end, they make the call.
Under Michigan's self-defense law, even if Daniel's bullet killed Kimberly, Matthew created the deadly crossfire and
therefore bears the legal responsibility for her death. With this, Matthew is formally charged with attempted murder
for shooting at Daniel. voluntary manslaughter for Kimberly's death and multiple counts of felony firearm. In
the weeks that follow, investigators uncover a darker side of the marriage. Multiple witnesses describe a pattern of
alleged abuse between Matthew and Kimberly, including physical violence and intimidation. That context offers
detectives insight into why Kimberly may have gone along with an armed trip to her lover's house instead of walking
away. Two years later in May 2024, Matthew's jury trial begins. During the trial, the two sides present very
different versions of the same shootout. Matthew's lawyers argue self-defense, claiming Daniel was the one who came out
armed and aggressive, forcing Matthew to fire back and [music] protect himself and Kimberly. They portray him as a
devastated husband and a father who snapped under emotional strain. [music] The prosecution frames Matthew as a
jealous husband who armed himself, consumed drugs and alcohol and drove to Daniel's home looking for a
confrontation. After an 8-day trial, the jury rejects Matthew's full self-defense
claim, and finds him guilty. He is sentenced to a maximum of 40 years with parole possible after roughly 18 years.
Meanwhile, Daniel Geon, the man who fired the fatal shot, is ultimately released without charges.
