The Murder of Veronica Sarinana | Killers Caught On Camera | Forensic Files

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] NARRATOR: This time, on "Killers Caught on Camera," in the United States, Colorado, an abandoned car full of trash
is cause for suspicion. There was a distinct odor. Every police officer knows the smell of death.
NARRATOR: The SWAT team moves in on a suspect. And in Michigan, a young couple disappears.
Two black bags in a shed put police on the path to a double murderer. MAN 1: It just sounds like something
bad is happening to her. WOMAN: We know what happened because the video tells us what happened.
MAN 2: I heard some gunshots. POLICEMAN: Drop it. Whatever it is, drop it. That does not prove that I killed my wife.
MAN 3: The camera doesn't lie. NARRATOR: Arvada, Colorado. Just a few miles northwest of the state capital, Denver.
Home to 38-year-old Veronica Sarinana, one of five children who grew up to love music and cheerleading.
She went on to have two sons of her own, her firstborn arriving when Veronica was 20.
Later, she worked at a bank. By June 2019, Veronica was living back home with her parents.
But in the early hours of Wednesday, June 19, Veronica went missing. On the same day, 911 dispatchers received a call
from an employee at a church with a tip about a body in an obscure location. In the background, someone could be heard prompting the caller.
Sergeant Kate Herrlinger responded to the call to investigate the claim. She said that there was a man in the church
and that she wanted to report a crime. Essentially, the crime was that his brother
had killed his girlfriend and placed her into the trunk of a vehicle near his home.
As soon as we heard we possibly have a body in our car, we're thinking we have a homicide.
We need to treat this as a homicide. NARRATOR: It was a serious allegation with a named suspect
who lived close to the car. When the police arrived at the address they'd been given,
they found a white Ford Escort. It was abandoned, unregistered for two years, and stuffed full of trash.
When police questioned neighbors, they thought the visible limbs and the abandoned car
were part of a mannequin. There was a distinct odor of rotting, of death. Every police officer knows the smell of death.
There was a female body in the car. Her head was down near the floorboard. Her feet were almost up on the seat.
My initial response is we need to get our CSIs out. We need to get the lab out. We were concerned with the rising temperatures
that we would start to lose physical evidence, DNA off of the body. NARRATOR: Detective Chris Steiner was called in to capture
a 3D scan of the crime scene. CHRIS STEINER: The car is a critical part in this particular scene because that's
where the body is located at. We use a 3D terrestrial laser scanners. It allows us to make a virtual copy of a crime scene.
And we can go back to that crime scene any time we need to. NARRATOR: They needed to examine the body buried
beneath the bags of garbage. MATT ARCHULETA: Upon death, the body continues to change as it decays.
So we ultimately sealed the car and then had it towed with the body in it back to the police station.
NARRATOR: The question was, how did the body get in the car? They only had one lead--
the man named in the 911 call, Frank Moffat, who lived just around the corner from the car.
The police moved in. Frank Moffat was arrested and taken into custody. He basically said that he had nothing to do with the homicide,
had no idea how she ended up inside this vehicle that he was using at the time. NARRATOR: The police quickly got to work,
searching for evidence in and around Frank's house. They also canvassed the area for surveillance footage.
KATE HERRLINGER: We need to knock on every single door and then get as much footage as we possibly could.
Everybody has cameras these days. NARRATOR: Meanwhile, the crime scene investigation team
got to work on the white car. This was not just a female placed in the back of an empty vehicle.
The car had a rolled-up rug. It had trash bags. It had car batteries. It was packed full of stuff.
Each item had to meticulously be taken out of the car. We processed some of the items for DNA.
It was a very lengthy, slow process. NARRATOR: They used the 3D scanner to ensure that every possible piece
of evidence was documented. Detective Matt Archuleta had to examine the evidence in the car
and what the body itself revealed about the cause of death. MATT ARCHULETA: There was a small trickle
of, like, a bloody substance coming out of one of the eye sockets. And it had a downward shape to it in the sense
that it had run down the nose and then dried. Following gravity, that would indicate
the head was in an upright position when that drop came out. It was fairly obvious that the death had occurred somewhere
else, that the body was put into the car by someone, and then that the body was covered
with trash to hide the body. NARRATOR: Once the police were able to remove the body
from the car, they used a fingerprint scanner to identify the victim. Her name was Veronica Sarinana, the same woman
who'd been reported missing. The police notified Veronica's family of her death and started to try and piece together how she died.
We contacted family, more specifically her mother, and started to get details. We wanted a time frame of her whereabouts.
NARRATOR: Doorbell footage showed the last time Veronica was seen, at her mom's house on the afternoon of June 18,
the day before she was found in the car. Speaking with Veronica's family, the police
discovered that she'd been in a relationship with a man named Chris Moffat, the same man who initiated
the 911 call about the body in the car and blamed his brother, Frank Moffat. Veronica's mother said it was a very tumultuous relationship.
There were plenty of times that Chris put his hands on Veronica. There were times he strangled her.
He went to jail for this. He had just gotten out of jail. There was an active restraining order attempting
to keep him away from her. He had possibly killed one of her cats. His behavior was very erratic.
I think she was very scared of him. However, for whatever reason, she kept going back to him,
and they kept this relationship going. There's a psychological effect known as trauma bonding, which
is when you are in a domestic violence situation, and you keep returning to your abuser.
And the reason for that is because they're violent, and then they're really nice to you,
and then they show a lot of love, and then they're violent again. And in those nice moments, you develop
this response where you almost accept the bad with the good. And you keep going back, hoping for the good.
NARRATOR: Kyle McElroy was a detective for the Arvada police department. Veronica's family were worried about her safety.
She had come back to her family. She had told her, I don't feel safe. I can't be around Chris anymore.
She even made the statement, if I disappeared, look at Chris. NARRATOR: Two months before Veronica's death,
Chris Moffat had posted a series of strange videos online. A lot of people who are perpetrators
of domestic violence, we know that they have issues with anger management. We know that they don't have good conflict resolution skills.
So it's not that someone is sitting there planning the cycle of, I'm going to do something terrible to this person,
and then I'm going to make up. It's more that someone is unable to regulate the emotions when
they feel angry and then goes back and overwhelms someone with love. So I think it's from both sides.
It's a very broken relationship structure. But I think people often blame the woman for going back when we
should obviously be focusing on the men who keep engaging in this violent behavior.
NARRATOR: Chris's violent behavior was an ongoing concern. Veronica's texts showed that they
were seeing each other right up to the day she went missing. The messages reinforced that she was fearful of him.
Chris was now a key person of interest. The police needed to find him. KYLE MCELROY: About that time is when we also realized
we are missing her car. We're going to try and notify all the other law enforcement agencies around the state
at this point that-- it's called a BOLO. Be On the Lookout for this vehicle. NARRATOR: Veronica's car was a blue Mitsubishi Gallant.
It was tracked down the same day as Veronica was discovered, just 24 hours after she disappeared.
KATE HERRLINGER: On June 19, late in the evening, around 11:30-ish, Glenwood Springs Police Department
locates Chris sitting in a Walmart parking lot, and he is in Veronica's vehicle.
So they arrested him and booked him into the county jail up there. NARRATOR: Inside Chris's wallet were recent receipts.
They gave the police critical information. Those paper receipts being in the car
were huge for us because all the receipts are time-stamped. And what we found was it looked that Chris
and Veronica had taken a trip to Lake Dillon together. NARRATOR: A hotel room keycard led them
to cameras and their first sighting of Veronica. This is the surveillance footage from the Luxury Inn.
And this was really important because, as you can see here, this is the first time that we saw Chris and Veronica
together up at Lake Dillon. And it gave us a really great starting point to try and develop the timeline from here.
One of the other things we learned in this video, as you can see, it's Veronica, and then you see the purse
that Veronica is carrying here. And that is a purse that continued to come up in this investigation.
NARRATOR: The same purse was filmed by a camera pointing directly at Frank Moffat's house.
The purse was hung on the front door by an unidentified male. It was recovered from the front door and taken in as evidence.
That was a really key piece for us because we now know that this is the purse that Veronica is carrying.
She has with her in some of the final moments when she's alive, and then it pops up back in Arvada.
NARRATOR: Veronica was also captured on camera at a nearby liquor store in Lake Dillon in the early evening
on June 18. KYLE MCELROY: We see that Veronica is still alive, buying items that correspond directly with the receipts
that we found in her car. So all of this is just narrowing down a timeline of when we're trying to determine
when this crime happened. It was one of the highest-quality videos that we were able to recover.
And we get really lucky here in that we get a clear shot of the purse. NARRATOR: She was also filmed withdrawing money at an ATM.
Every single time we could catch Veronica alive on camera, we knew that we needed to keep going because the crime
would happen soon after that. This is the last video where we see Veronica alive.
NARRATOR: The cash withdrawal was in the early evening. And with Chris now in custody, detectives
questioned him about his trip to Lake Dillon with Veronica on June 18. Chris described the whole evening
with Veronica on the Tuesday night in Lake Dillon. Chris then suggested that the police
investigate the nature of Frank's relationship with Veronica. The police wanted to understand why
Chris persisted to link his brother with Veronica's death. Chris was under the impression during his time in jail,
his brother and Veronica had started a relationship and were seeing each other all the time.
We knew that wasn't true, but Chris was convinced of it. JULIA SHAW: The thing with jealousy
is that it doesn't matter if it's true. What's particularly pernicious when it's not true
is that you take every single protest that that partner is offering you as further indication
of their deception. And so it's this vicious cycle where the person keeps saying,
no, I'm not cheating on you, and you go, that's exactly what a cheater would say.
And we know that jealousy is a major contributor, especially when combined with poor conflict resolution skills,
to domestic violence and also to intimate partner homicide. NARRATOR: While Chris and Veronica were at Lake Dillon,
there were a series of texts sent from Veronica's phone. They were to Chris's brother, Frank, just after 8:00 PM.
We began to notice that the night before the discovery of the body that the tones and the words that
are used within the text messages are fundamentally different than all of the text
messages we see before. NARRATOR: The language used was suspicious, and it was unclear why Veronica would be texting
Frank when she was with Chris. The police decided to confront him. KYLE MCELROY: Ultimately, he said
that his brother had told him that he had murdered Veronica. And Chris was saying that he felt
guilty about ratting his brother out, and that was the reason that he fled. He basically claims, hey, I took
her down to my brother's house on the 19th. I dropped her off. I don't know anything else about that.
And then he asked for an attorney. NARRATOR: As a result, the police became increasingly reliant on surveillance footage.
It showed inconsistencies in Chris's testimony. Veronica's car was captured on camera
leaving Lake Dillon just before 8:00 PM on Tuesday, June 18. The change in tone in the texts coincided with Veronica's car
leaving Lake Dillon. KYLE MCELROY: When we see that car coming out of Dillon Dam
Road over by Lake Dillon, we start to get the idea she's not using the phone anymore.
NARRATOR: Her car was picked up again at 10:40 PM at a Walmart near Frisco. It parks in the parking lot of Walmart.
You see Chris get out. You never see Veronica get out. And we can watch as he comes into the store.
We can clearly see him on surveillance. We identify him by the clothes he's wearing.
His physical features are the same. We don't see Veronica again. From the minute that they leave Lake Dillon,
Chris is the only one seen exiting that vehicle. NARRATOR: The next morning, Chris
was seen at another Walmart, just nine miles from where Veronica's body was found
in the unregistered white car. This was the camera angle that we used to definitively say
that all the features that we can see in the video are consistent. The text on the front of the shirt, the white collar, the hat
that he's wearing, and the physical features that we see on him continue to be consistent with who we know to be Chris
Moffat walking out of the Walmart just about an hour before the 911 call is made.
NARRATOR: Detectives compared all the different surveillance footage over the three days.
The clothing was a direct match with what Chris was wearing in the Luxury Inn, the clothes found in Veronica's car,
and crucially, the figure hanging the bag on Frank's front door. KYLE MCELROY: This was the clip that really
kind of tied it all together. We see a man. We know his physical features are the same as Chris.
And you can clearly see him hanging a purse. We had seen this purse appear over and over again.
It has been with Veronica every time we've seen it. NARRATOR: Chris Moffat was clearly
identified planting evidence. We're sure that Chris was trying to frame his brother.
NARRATOR: The surveillance footage also confirmed Frank's alibi. We noticed that the brother had come in 12 to 18 hours
or a long time before, and he never leaves again, which was consistent with what
his statement was. NARRATOR: Back at the crime scene investigation lab, Matt Archuleta had another breakthrough.
Chris Moffat's fingerprint was found on a trash bag inside the white car, contradicting
Chris's version of events. One of those stories was that he wasn't in the car, he didn't put the trash into the car,
and he had nothing to do with it. The fingerprint on the trash bag told us otherwise.
Now we know Chris was in that vehicle. When he claimed to have nothing to do with Veronica's death
and nothing to do with being in or around that vehicle, we now have him placed inside that car.
NARRATOR: The fingerprint and the footage were vital for proving that it was Chris
Moffat who killed Veronica. KYLE MCELROY: Seeing Chris on camera planting evidence
in his brother's house allowed us to focus on him as a suspect within 24 hours of this crime
occurring, which is so vital in any homicide investigation. We knew how Veronica had been killed,
when she had been killed. We felt confident that an argument had broken out like it had before,
and it had turned physical. We knew from looking at Veronica's body, the most likely cause of death was asphyxiation
or being strangled to death. And so that would be consistent with an argument breaking out.
NARRATOR: There are 65 miles between Lake Dillon and Arvada with plenty of places to pull over.
KATE HERRLINGER: Up at Lake Dillon, there are some pull-off spots that people sit,
and they can enjoy the views of the lake. And we believe that's where he actually murdered her
and then drove her back to Arvada to dump her body in the car at his brother's house.
JULIA SHAW: Framing someone for a crime that you committed is incredibly difficult to do.
We almost always see it in organized crime circumstances and basically nowhere else.
And the reason for that is that it takes a lot of planning to successfully frame someone.
And most murder is committed as an impulsive or bad decision in the moment. In this case as well, he wasn't planning to kill her probably.
It happened because it was a domestic violence situation where he lost control, and he went too far.
But if you don't plan it, you can't plan also who you're going to frame, how you're going to make sure
that they don't have an alibi, how you plant the evidence like a purse on a handle.
It's going to be really hard to successfully frame that person. NARRATOR: The question remains, why did Chris kill Veronica?
KATE HERRLINGER: He believed she was having an affair with his brother. I think he was jealous.
I think he was angry. And I don't think he wanted her to ever be with anyone else but him.
NARRATOR: Chris Moffat pled guilty to second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
He was sentenced to 55 years in prison. JULIA SHAW: It must have been a terrorizing force in her life
to have this relationship and to be drawn back in repeatedly, knowing that she was likely to be strangled
again, to be hit again. In some ways, this is a case study in intimate partner homicide.
And what we should take from this isn't, wow, why did she keep going back? What we should take from this is, wow,
why did nobody intervene and take him aside and train him on conflict management and make sure that his anger
management was under control? NARRATOR: Veronica Sarinana was trapped. Extreme violence in her relationship became the norm.
This is a global issue. JULIA SHAW: Femicide, which is the killing of women and girls,
it's a form of gender-based violence. Every single day, 133 women are killed in the world at the hands of family members and loved ones.
So there's even more women who are killed, but just by people who allegedly love them,
133 women and girls are killed every single day. NARRATOR: In our next case, someone
you'd expect to be loving turned out to be quite the opposite. Detroit, Michigan.
20 miles northeast of downtown Detroit lies Clinton Township, home to the Marzejka family.
The father Robert Sr., his two sons Robert Jr. and Kevin, and also the youngest child,
daughter Danielle, and her boyfriend, Seren Bryan. Ava Glass is a crime journalist with a fascination
for family dynamics. AVA GLASS: Danielle and Seren were a young couple. She was 18.
He was 19. Danielle was a little more outgoing, a little more vivacious. She was a free spirit who didn't always
like to do the things everybody else did, whereas Seren was described by his friends and his family
as quiet, introspective, and artistic. He liked to express himself through drawing
more than he liked talking. But Danielle, he could talk to all the time. And everybody who knew them saw them as a close and very happy
couple. NARRATOR: Danielle and Seren worked and lived together. AVA GLASS: Danielle and Seren both lived with Danielle's
father and her two brothers. They shared a mobile home. It was quite crowded, but everything seemed perfectly
normal, until one night, Danielle and Seren returned from their all-night job at a local restaurant,
were dropped off by a colleague, and then they completely disappeared. NARRATOR: On August 26, 2018, 911 dispatchers
received a disturbing call from Danielle's brother, Kevin Marzejka. Police responded to the scene, recording on body-worn cameras.
Kevin Marzejka and his father Robert Sr. met them on the steps of their home. The patrol officers prepared to deal with potentially
sensitive evidence. They see inside these large plastic bags, two really large plastic bags shoved at the back,
and they see a leg. NARRATOR: The home was considered a crime scene. An investigation was launched to find out
who the body parts belonged to and how they ended up in the shed. They searched inside the home for evidence.
In Danielle and Seren's bedroom were key items Danielle would normally carry with her.
ROBERTA BABB: Danielle's phone charger was still there. Danielle was someone who was always on her phone to the point
that she needed to have a phone charger to top up her battery, and it was something that she would never leave home without.
NARRATOR: Danielle had diabetes and was dependent on insulin to maintain her blood sugar levels.
Not only was her phone charger still there, but also, her insulin was still there.
NARRATOR: Outside, police guarded the shed. The bags of what appeared to be human remains
couldn't be removed until the scene had been fully documented. Danielle's father Robert Sr. and brother Kevin
could only watch and wait for the police to confirm who was inside the bags. The police needed to work out what happened.
Kevin Marzejka was convinced that the human remains in the shed were his 18-year-old sister Danielle
and her boyfriend Seren. But the police still had to confirm it was Danielle and Seren's remains in the shed.
Forensic investigators use luminol, a chemical that reacts with hemoglobin, to detect
blood under black UV light. A luminol test inside the bedroom that Danielle and Seren had shared
found evidence of blood spatter. Extensive blood spatter, in fact. And then also, cleaning fluids that had been
used to try and eliminate it. NARRATOR: As they removed furniture and carpet, it became clear that there had been
a violent struggle in Danielle and Seren's bedroom. Danielle's father Robert Sr. and her brother Kevin
were taken to the police station for questioning. Kevin was asked about the strength of Danielle
and Seren's relationship. During the police interview, it became clear that Danielle's
brother Robert Jr. was missing. Dr. Roberta Babb is a clinical psychologist. Robert Jr. in 2011 developed symptoms of mental illness
to the point that his family became incredibly concerned and sought medical intervention.
After evaluations and discussions with medical professionals, Robert Jr. was diagnosed with schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder, and paranoia. What we also know is that from 2011 onwards, due to his erratic behavior, he was hospitalized two or three
times over a nine-year period. NARRATOR: Kevin had no idea where his elder brother was.
The police spoke with Robert Sr. to try and work out where Robert Jr. had gone. Robert Jr.'s phone records revealed
that he'd called a cab to pick him up from the home on Thursday, August 23, the same day Danielle and Seren went missing.
The cab driver told detectives that he'd taken Robert Jr. to Walgreens and then Wendy's.
By analyzing the route the cab took, the police found surveillance footage that tracked Robert Jr.'s movements.
After going to Wendy's on August 23, he was caught on camera taking a bus. He traveled for an hour and 20 minutes before getting off.
Five minutes later, he was picked up on surveillance cameras entering a Tim Hortons.
Shortly afterwards, Robert Jr. returned home. The video footage of Robert Marzejka Jr.
was incredibly helpful. Every place he was picked up on camera, he was obviously not injured.
He was obviously not kidnapped. He was shopping, and he was eating. He wasn't a victim.
NARRATOR: Robert Jr. was last seen by one of Danielle's friends at home on the 24th of August,
two days before the human remains were found in the shed. The police urgently needed to find him.
NEWS PRESENTER: 26-year-old Robert Marzejka is a person of interest in this case.
He was driving a white 1999 Ford E250 van with blue duct tape around the driver's side rear window.
NARRATOR: Police circulated Robert Jr.'s photograph across the country. Meanwhile, the medical examiner's report
confirmed the bodies in the black bags in the shed were Danielle and Seren. It also revealed exactly how they died.
Both Danielle and Seren had been violently beaten. A rubber hammer covered in blood was found along
with the plastic bags, and they believe that was the weapon that they'd been attacked with.
They were both wearing T-shirts and underwear. So authorities believed they'd been
asleep when they were attacked. They didn't die from the violent blunt force trauma
that they suffered. According to forensic analysis, they actually suffocated. They were wrapped in plastic and their mouths
and nose duct-taped. And then the plastic bag was duct-taped around their necks.
NARRATOR: On August 27, Robert's white van was spotted in Toledo, Ohio, 80 miles south of Clinton Township.
The police found the van, but it was abandoned. Robert Jr. was nowhere to be seen.
When the police got the DNA and fingerprint results back from the crime scene, they were a match
for Robert Jr. The police were now on the hunt for Danielle's brother. Police notified employees and security
at bus stations and airports, warning them to be on the lookout for a potential murder suspect.
NARRATOR: August 28, two days after the bodies were found, Danielle's brother was caught on camera but looked different.
Robert Jr. develops, creates, finds a disguise. It's a sort of rudimentary disguise-- a wig,
a baseball cap or a hat of some sort, and sunglasses. NARRATOR: The next day, he walked into a bus station
in Toledo and bought a ticket to Cincinnati. People working there believed it was Robert Jr.
and reported him to the police. AVA GLASS: These attempts to disguise his identity
had the unintended opposite effect of making everybody notice him because he looked so strange.
NARRATOR: When Robert Jr. arrived at Cincinnati Bus Station, he asked employees for access to a computer.
They directed him to the library. He was relaxed and friendly. He scanned the news, unaware how closely he was being watched.
In reception, the police were waiting. Unmasked and identified, Robert Jr. was taken back to Detroit.
In search of answers, Robert Jr.'s brother Kevin called to speak with him in the interview room.
Psychiatric reports declared Robert Jr. was sane and fit to stand trial. AVA GLASS: He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Despite his long mental health struggle, the argument of the state in this case was he covered up his crime.
He attempted to hide all evidence of it. And then he fled. And they said those were not the actions of an insane person.
NARRATOR: Robert Jr. did not offer up an explanation. All the surveillance footage could provide
was an insight into his state of mind. AVA GLASS: He doesn't seem panicked. He doesn't seem deranged.
He doesn't seem to be lost or confused. In fact, he seems calm and rational. He seems to know where he's going.
There's nothing in the footage that seems to indicate his mental illness is so severe he should
be forgiven for beating his sister and her boyfriend to death with a hammer and suffocating
them in plastic bags. NARRATOR: Defense counsel claimed Robert killed his sister
and her boyfriend because he thought they were conduits for voices in his head. The jury deliberated for just 40 minutes
before finding Robert Jr. guilty-- murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The family never got a full explanation. But Dr. Roberta Babb feels the family dynamic offers some insight.
From what we know, the children responded differently to the loss of their mother.
Kevin and Danielle appeared to grieve but managed to continue with their life. It didn't disrupt it unduly.
Robert Sr. had lost his wife. He was sleeping on the sofa, drinking excessively.
Robert Jr. had lost his mother and was sleeping in his own room on his own, left with his own thoughts.
And that must have been incredibly lonely and isolating for him. It may not have been that Robert Jr. felt a physical sense
of threat from his younger sister, but her presence, her relationship, her getting on
with life did pose a threat to his own sense of his identity, his agency, potentially his own masculinity.
And that may have been something that activated very murderous thoughts in Robert Jr.
AVA GLASS: They were heartbroken. They were devastated. Danielle's brother Kevin, he said, I don't hate Robert,
but he's not my brother anymore. And I think that gives us a very good picture of how strongly
he felt about what happened. [THEME MUSIC]
