Private eye shares intel on the prime suspect in a reopened death investigation | Forensic Files

my name is Jessica Sanders I'm a private investigator and I've been investigating
the death of Katie major so when I'm out on surveillance you know sometimes I have to change the
way I look I've switched Vehicles sometimes I do whatever I have to do to make sure my
cover is not blown and in 10 years that I've been doing this I've actually never
been caught my dress in all black and people assume because I'm a blond girl that I'm
nobody works in my favor and so Aaron major did you begin to surveil him I did a lot I watch him I learn his behaviors
who he talks to who he hangs out with which really isn't anyone talk to some of his old friends he's a very isolated
person give me a typical day in Aaron Major's life with Aaron he seems to stay home most of the time and then he'll go
out about three 3:00 he may go fishing or he may go surfing and then he's back home by you
know 8:00 and that's it that's about all he does other than going to church for you
what is this story about this story is about bringing Justice to three people Katie River and Aiden and getting a
murderer off the street so he can't ever do it again [Music] well the family came forward and they
have hired private investigators to take a look at this case and the investigators actually did a very good
job of putting together a timeline and what facts they uncovered I don't need the Kudos you
know per se I just want to know that the work I'm doing is being acknowledged that they're they're really seeing it
for the benefit of this case they've offered you a job at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department
yeah you think about it thinking about it are you hoping for an arrest in this case I'm definitely hoping for an arrest
but I would really like to see a confession I think he needs to get it off of his chest I hope
