Hi, thank you for coming down.
We're gonna go right over here.
Where is my son?
Um, you're Devin?
Yeah.
We've got to go to get back here a little bit.
Your ex-boyfriend is it? He died.
This is 26-year-old Devin Shriner,
and she's learning that the father of her five-year-old son
has just been brutally executed in broad daylight by a masked headman.
I heard three f-fam-ffong.
Okay.
guy, going into that direction.
Leave it.
While officers chased the shooter through backyards and surrounding streets,
the killers are already two steps ahead.
The hitman who carried out this homicide has been working for months
with someone inside law enforcement,
giving them a major advantage over the police.
And as detectives try to catch up,
the murder duo's plan is already moving forward,
because there's still one.
there's still one more person who needs to die?
That's off your phone. What else did you on the show?
It's just after 12 p.m. on a Wednesday in Longmont.
33-year-old Jason Schaefer, a single father to a five-year-old boy,
is working his usual postal route through a quiet neighborhood,
just like he has countless times before. He's nearing the end of his shift
and heading towards one of his final stops for the day in Somerset Meadows. Jason doesn't
He doesn't know it yet, but for the past three months, someone has been tracking his movements,
waiting for this exact moment, and making sure this delivery is going to be his last.
I'm not 911, address to the emergency.
Yes, hi.
Our post office guy was just shot.
I heard four shots and he's down.
Did anyone witness this?
We saw someone run.
We heard four shots.
I couldn't identify him.
just saw a backside of a man running away after four shots.
One second, I'll go.
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's see.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Here.
Here.
Take time to right.
Please.
We're out.
He's had no air.
No air.
Stand by.
Just throw them on the bed.
Unfortunately, by the time officers and medics arrive, the man has stopped breathing and with
CPR failing, he has rushed.
to the hospital in a final attempt to save his life.
Officers are now left with an unusual crime scene and far more questions than answers.
They need to determine why Jason was targeted, search the surrounding area for any witnesses,
and track down the unknown shooter. Officers don't know this yet, but they are running out of time
because Jason isn't the only target of the shooter.
At this point, the commotion in the unusually calm neighborhood causes many
residents to come out of their houses and while most of them do so out of curiosity
one of the residents approaches an arriving officer claiming he has the exact
information they need I need you to go that way
about five or ten minutes ago I heard three fang-fam-fong-fong okay and then I saw a guy
with a kind of about the deep about a sturdy guy with a jacket and
Run into that direction.
Let's start working south for a perimeter south.
And then we'll get him set up east.
Hey, Pierce, last information he was running southbound and then headed southwest
from Heather Hill's circle diagonally through the houses.
With the neighbor confirming that the suspect was a hooded man wearing a jacket,
officers believe they're looking for a male suspect.
That description will soon prove dangerously misleading,
But the neighbor also reveals that the suspect fled south,
making the next objective for police clear,
contain the area, and locate the armed suspect.
Leave it.
Come on, seat.
All right.
Leave it.
Suit.
Let me take this down with her.
Yep.
As officers searched the neighborhood using drones and canine units,
they find no sign of the suspect.
By this point, nearly an hour has passed,
Yet investigators still know little about the victim or why someone would execute a mail carrier in broad daylight.
So with no clear motive and few leads, they turned to the residents for answers,
hoping someone knew Jason or witnessed something that could explain the shooting.
Luckily, one of the residents is about to provide police with a piece of evidence that will prove crucial in identifying the shooter.
I just saw the shooter running away.
Okay. And I didn't see anything in his hands or anything like that. Just a jogging pace. He wasn't even running fast. He was just jogging.
I ran into my neighbor and you'll have to talk to her across the street because she actually spoke with the postman.
Okay.
Minutes before the shooting.
Hello. Have officers been over here by chance to talk to you guys?
No.
When it first happened, then it...
Were you out here? Did you hear, see anything?
Yeah, so I was checking my mail at the same time.
That a baby didn't...
Oh, hey, you're good.
And I saw a guy, black, reddeny, blue-faced, mouth.
Walking towards you.
Oh, okay, all right.
So walking towards here.
And honestly, as soon as I closed my door and heard the gunshots and saw that guy take off.
So here he is walking up.
Oh, he walked around, but he walked behind those houses.
Then you'll hear the gunshots actually at about 15 seconds.
And then he runs back that way.
Must live somewhere in this neighborhood if they are coming in this way.
This is exactly what officers need.
Although the images are difficult to make out,
detectives finally get their first look at the suspect.
The dark clothing, hood, and masks support the witness's description.
More importantly, the footage shows the figure approaching the mail carrier calmly,
before opening fire. There is no visible argument and no hesitation, suggesting the attack was
anything but random. The shooter appears to know exactly who Jason is and exactly where he would be.
As detects the footage, others contact Jason's supervisors hoping they might have an idea of who's
responsible for the shooting. However, once they arrive, the officers will discover that this homicide
is only one part of a much bigger, deranged plan
that had been building for the past year,
and that Jason's murder may have only been the beginning.
Hi. You can stay seated, whatever you like to do.
So my name's John, I'm going to talk to with long, long PV.
Oh, well, what's your involvement in the following?
I'm the supervisor, but he's also a really good friend.
Okay.
Um, he's been like telling me what's going on with his situation, you know, we can, right now.
right now. His name is Jason. Jason Schaefer. He just, on Friday, his lawyer just filed papers for,
they've been going through a big custody battle, but she hasn't been speaking to him at all.
So he filed some more papers so that he could get more time. And I know she probably would have
been served today. She also works for the post office, but in Loveland, she showed up one day and
said she was there to help. And as soon as he left, she left. Like she didn't even help us or anything.
It was weird. And then the other day I caught her.
and they're going through his stuff at his case.
So this is, this is Jason's, like the mother of his, of the six year old?
Okay.
Where's the six year old now?
Probably with the mom.
With the mom.
Well, what is her name?
Her name is Devon.
D-E-B-A-N and then it's Shiner as her last name.
Jason's supervisor goes on to explain that Devin and Jason had worked at the same post office,
but their arguments eventually became so serious that Devon was transferred to another location.
They also learned that, coincidentally, just two days earlier, Jason had filed for full custody over their five-year-old son.
With that, police finally have their first real lead on whom I know more about what happened to Jason.
But they're still only scratching the surface of how deep this entire scheme goes.
If you don't do this, AJ knows where you live and he has his guns.
I mean my son. I am worried about my son.
I think the gig is up. People don't go around just shooting most of people.
You specifically had it out for Jason. Can you explain that?
As officers prepare to investigate Devin further, they receive devastating news from the hospital.
Jason has died from his injuries, officially turning the investigation into a homicide.

If Devin now emerging as a possible suspect, detectives know they need to
to speak with her. There's just one problem. At this point, they have no evidence connecting her
to the shooting. If anything, the surveillance footage appears to point away from her, with the
person fleeing the scene looking like a man. So investigators need to understand exactly
what was happening between her and Jason and whether there was anyone close to them who might know
something they don't. That leads them to Devin's younger sister, Rosa. Well, detectives aren't sure how much
insights she'll be able to provide, they bring her to the police department for an interview.
And as the interview starts, it quickly becomes clear that Rosa is someone more than investigators
initially thought and her statements are about to flip their case upside down.
Hi, Rosa. Do you have a lot? You have a water and everything?
Yeah. Okay. I'm going to shut this door, but just for privacy. Okay. I can only imagine
what you're going through. I'm not even going to pretend to understand. But I'm going to shut.
You just want to get to know you a little bit more and we'll take it at your pace.
If you want to take a break or anything, we can do that.
Okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah, I hear you.
We'll have lots going on.
Um, can you kind of walk me through maybe by starting on how your and Devon's relationship was?
So then the beginning of this year, I moved in with her here in a lot.
Wow.
We lived together in her house and we had an apartment together in June.
And then there's a situation between her and I.
She kicked me out.
Anyways, I'm not going to.
Okay.
Here, Rosa reveals something the investigators never expected.
It turns out, after she was kicked out of Devin's apartment,
she moved in with Jason and started dating him.
For detectives, that gives Devin yet another possible reason to resent Jason,
especially if her sister and ex-boyfriend were now taking care of her child together.
But while this gives them another possible motive to look into,
Rosa isn't done surprising the detectives just yet.
Because if what she says next is true, her sister might be completely innocent.
And I know this is probably not easy to talk about,
but what was their relationship like that you know of?
I know it was on and off because she was with different people during the time.
Okay. Do you know why they were on and off again for that long?
Because she cheated.
That was the main source of their arguments in their relationship was because she was cheating on him.
In the past she, this was before I looked with her, she kind of threvered Jason.
She's not, I don't remember what a threat was about.
If you don't do this, aging knows where you live and,
He has his guns.
And he even told me, he was like, I was worried about that for a while, but now I don't, I'm not worried about it.
And they said he was shot, of course, immediately thought of AJ.
So you know, AJ has, or you're on an impression that AJ has access to guns because of the comments that she made.
Yeah.
Do you know if Devon has access to guns?
AJ gave her gun ones. Okay.
According to Rosa, the person responsible for Jason's murder could be a man known as AJ,
Devon's new boyfriend. Rosa claims AJ's name had been used to threaten Jason numerous times before,
and the situation becomes even more unsettling when she reveals that AJ allegedly had direct
access to weapons, raising the possibility that he may work in law enforcement.
And although this is the first time detectives hear his name, Rosa's statement
immediately makes AJ someone they need to look into.
However, there's one problem.
All they have is a nickname, and with so little information to go on,
figuring out his real identity proved to be extremely difficult.
So with this in mind, investigators know their new priority is speaking to Devon,
but they have to proceed with caution.
If Devon is involved in Jason's murder or knows anything about it,
she could simply refuse to speak with law enforcement.
And even if she has nothing to do with it, the ongoing legal battle over her son could still make her hesitant to cooperate.
So investigators come up with a plan to make sure she has no choice but to come to them herself.
Four hours after Jason's murder, an officer arrives at the Montessori daycare where Jason and Devin's son is staying.
The detective's plan is simple yet genius.
They plan to retrieve the child and bring him to the police department.
Then, when Devin later looks for him, she would have no choice but to come to the station to pick him up,
giving investigators the opportunity to question her about what had happened.
However, as the officer gets to work, Devin suddenly calls the daycare asking about her son.
If she realizes police are already there, she could show up within minutes and complicate the investigation.
So the officer needs to find a way to keep everything looking completely normal
and avoid tipping her off to what detectives are planning.
All right.
I can't.
Hurry up, make a decision.
We got to answer the phone.
Just answer the phone, ask your questions.
We're not here.
She can come pick up the kid.
Gateway Montessori School.
This is Ren.
Can I help you?
No, he, Jason has not picked the other again.
Okay.
Okay, well, I don't, I don't know what's happening
because people keep calling me and something
that's something that's happened to Jason,
and if he hasn't happened,
That makes me wonder if something did actually happen, so, um, I don't know if I'm going to be able to get there.
Sam, I need to stand by.
I miss poor call for now.
So I, I, I wasn't with the how I can say Jason's, so.
See you, if Jason ends up in the next 30 minutes, do you let me know because I need to try to get a hold of him too?
I don't know what's happening.
Sure.
I absolutely will.
Yep.
Okay, thank you.
Sure.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay.
Thank you.
Good job.
And just like that, Devin seems convinced that nothing is wrong.
Investigators have not only completed the first step of their plan to bring Devin in for questioning,
but they have also bought themselves something just as important.
Time.
And that matters, because they still have no concrete evidence that could confirm or rule out Devin or A.J.'s involvement in the murder.
If they're going to question either of them, investigators need something solid they can confront them with.
Luckily, it won't take long for them to find exactly that.
As investigators carefully review the available CCTV footage from the neighborhood, they stumble upon something interesting.
They uncover a recording from just 30 minutes before Jason was killed that could finally help confirm their suspicions.
But to make sense of what they're seeing, investigators need to hear Devin's version of events.
and compare it against the footage.
And thanks to the plan they had already set in motion,
they may not have to wait long to get that opportunity.
Because with her son now at the police department,
Devin is about to come looking for answers.
Hi, I was transferred to you.
I was told that I needed to speak with you.
I've been getting a lot of calls saying that there may have been an accident with my son's father.
I have no idea what it is if it's a random event or,
but yeah I'd like to talk to you about this
can you tell me what's happening
because everybody just keeps saying there's an accident
and my son is supposed to be with him right now
and he is five years old
he's fine
Rosa came to pick him up
because of what's going on
okay so I don't
I don't understand why nobody called me
I have his mother and nobody called me
yeah we're trying to find your contact information
Well, let's figure out what's going on.
Yeah, I would love to do this, but what is happening?
Where is my son's father?
Well, that's what we need to talk about and talk about this in depth.
Are you able to come down to the police department,
and in the meantime I'll find out who was out on scene?
Oh, I mean, you have my son.
Yes, of course I'm coming down there.
Okay.
I am in Fort Collins, so I am a little bit away.
It'll take me a little bit of time to get there.
Where do I need to come?
So far, the detective's strategy appears to be working exactly as planned.
Devin is so focused on the facts that police have taken her son to the station,
instead of releasing him to her,
that she seems to overlook the possibility that this may have been exactly what investigators wanted.
But getting Devin through the doors of the police department is only the first challenge,
because detectives are about to discover that getting her to actually cooperate will be far more complicated.
For now, though, they've done every single.
everything they can. All that's left is to wait for one of their suspects to come to them.
Are you Devon? Yes. Hi, Devin. I'm Detective Jones.
Hi. Thank you for coming down. We're going to go right over here.
Where is he's not? I'm not sure where he is exactly, but we're going to come this way and we'll see we...
Okay, well, I need my, I need my son. Okay. Somebody needs to tell me where he is. Okay.
And we'll find that out right away.
Just as detectives planned, Devin walks straight into the station, still focused to
on getting her son back, she has no idea what investigators uncovered in the surveillance footage
just hours earlier. And now, with Devin finally in front of them, detectives have their first
real chance to hear her version of events, compare it against the evidence they've already uncovered,
and figure out what role, if any, she played in Jason's murder.
I need him to be here now. I saw my father's car outside, and I'm not really sure why he's here.
Your father's car? Yeah. Who's your dad?
The name is Raul.
Raoul?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is he not allowed to see your kiddo?
He's a registered offender, so he better not be around my kid.
Okay.
I'm not sure who's where, but he's safe right now.
Well, we, who is he with?
He's gonna be with an officer right now, so.
Okay, because the previous officer that I spoke to on the phone said that he was with my sister.
And she doesn't have custody of him either, because she's not his guardian.
Okay.
I don't, well, I don't know why he wasn't here when I got here, but he need, I need my son.
I am worried about my son. He is five years old.
And I don't think any of you have told him anything that's happened.
I don't even know what's happened.
Alright.
Thank you.
Yep.
Okay.
Can I cut the dog or first?
Uh, I mean, I don't really care.
I just, I want my son.
Where is my son?
I'll tell you everything.
Go about that.
E.
Um, you're Devin?
Yes.
Am I pronouncing it, right?
Yes.
I can tell you, um, some bad news.
news. Um, your ex-boyfriend is it?
I just, I just call him my son's dad. He's dead. He's never married, but...
He died today. What, how? What happened?
Someone shot him in the face. In the face?
Where? On his postal route.
He was working today? He doesn't...
Yeah. He was working and someone came out and shot him.
As Detective Desmond begins the interview, he immediately shifts the conversation away from Devin's son and towards Jason's murder.
Part of the reason is simple.
Before revealing anything they uncovered, he first wants to see how Devin reacts to learning Jason is dead, and her response is unusual.
Rather than showing an immediate emotional reaction, Devin lets out a long sigh before answering, a response that immediately stands out.
But whatever investigators make of that reaction, they already have something far more concrete,
because Desmond is about to confront Devin with the CCTV evidence that pulled her directly into investigators' radar.
Let's go back a little bit so I can see who you are and see whether or not I can release a child to you.
Does anyone have it out for your...
What do you refer to him? Do you just refer to him as...
I just literally say my son's father or Jason.
Jason.
Does it surprise you that someone would go up and shoot him?
Yes, it surprises me a lot.
I don't, I didn't know, you know, I don't, I don't know anybody that would want to hurt him.
We have a lot of people in this case.
We weren't the case quite a bit.
I don't pretend to know everything that happened, but there are some things that are really kind of concerning me.
We saw your car in the area of the crime scene.
We said you're at work today, but your scanner goes off before the homicide and turns back on well after the homicide.
And they attract your scanner that's used at work to your wood fence house, AJ.
So that's really kind of concerned.
And we caught the shooting on one of the Ness doorbell cameras from across the street.
So I'm really kind of concerned.
I know that you got served just the other day with the child custody.
and you're a little upset about that he told AJ you told Devon in the past that
AJ knows where you live and that he'll shoot you if he needs to I've told who
Jason heard death from you and then Jason told Rose that and Rose told us that I
you said that I've never said that I am what's your car at the crime scene area
why are you in that area in your car and why are you turning out for scanning I didn't
turn off my scanner my no I didn't know I didn't
inspectors are here.
Turn off my scanner.
You, uh, or you didn't, you didn't go with the scam.
The scan is at your boyfriend's house or somewhere in that area in front of it and in a bush
somewhere in that area.
It's stationary for like three hours or more and it should be mobile because you're working,
but it's at your boyfriend's house and why is your car in the crime scene area?
I don't know why it would be on camera that I, my car was down there, but I, I, I,
but I don't, if I don't scan.
Packages?
Packages, then obviously I'm not doing that,
but I did stop and, right, I did stop at his house
for my lunch break, sort of.
Delim.
I think you're a good person,
but something's not right here.
I think the gig is out.
There's something weird going on here.
Everything is pointed to you being involved in this shooting.
People don't go around just shooting postal people.
Because I think there's a lot more than you're telling us.
The video of the shooter looks kind of like you.
It's from a distance, but it looks like your height and your build.
It doesn't look like AJ's height and build.
It doesn't look like Castaneda's height and build.
It looks like your build with a black hoodie.
With Detective Desmond piling this many suspicions onto Devon,
most suspects would eventually break.
But Devon has been listening closely, analyzing every detail.
detail Desmond gives her, and while the detective believes he's closing in, she's already spotted a weakness in his own theory and is about to use his own words against him.
I read on the way here about what happened and they said that a man shot him.
That's what we originally thought. Yeah. Now we're thinking it could be you. I think it could be maybe a boyfriend.
Thank you. That's not the question. That's not the right answer.
What am I supposed to say?
We're trying to get all this evidence together.
We're trying to put the pieces together.
And I don't think you're being truthful with me.
I'm trying to figure out if you did this or if someone else did this.
And my bet is you have someone else involved in this.
Maybe a friend.
That's someone who knows this guy.
And you know him very well.
And you know the people who know him very well.
I don't know the people that know him.
You know E.J. You know Kastinata.
They don't know him.
Your car was there.
Okay.
Your car was.
there. So tell me someone borrowed your car. I don't, I was at work on my route, which is not
close to the Pope, not super close to the post office. Why is your car in Longmont when your
scanner is? I don't, I don't know. I am on my route working, but it sounds like. Why that's
so concerning to me. Yes, I do understand that.
So is it some borrow your car, help me out here. I don't know, but I, it seems like with all of these
things that you're going to be doing that I need to have a lawyer ask for a lawyer.
With Devin invoking her right to a lawyer, Detective Desmond is forced to back off,
and that creates a serious problem. Desmond has already revealed most of the evidence
investigators have against Devin, but he never got her full account of where she was or what
she was doing around the time Jason was killed. That account could become incredibly
important because every detail Devin gives investigators can later be compared against the surveillance
footage, scanner data, and phone records they're still collecting. So police change their approach.
They bring in the U.S. Postal Inspector, who's already assisting with the case to speak with Devin,
giving investigators another opportunity to get her version of events. If they can't get Devin talking
now, detectives may lose their best chance to get a fixed version of events they can later compare
against the evidence. All right, all right. We're going to get the...
This going here.
Me, Devin.
What I introduce you to something up there?
I just arrived.
I'm a U.S. postal inspector.
So my name's Ken.
So I know you worked for the post office
and I worked for the post office.
So because this is kind of postal related
and you were working today,
I wanted to chit chat with you about
kind of what happened
and some of your activities today, okay?
I understand you may have been kind of done
talking with the detective,
but I wouldn't mind talking to you
as an inspector to find out
what's going on.
And what happens today?
So tell me, tell me about your day.
So you started scanning packages,
you started your route, and then what happened?
My guy, AJ, he lives on that route.
Like I'm usually, I'm there around noon,
so I think I was a little bit ahead of schedule.
So I was able to stop and I was happy
that I would be able to take a little bit more time
to take a lunch and,
spent some time with them.
What'd you guys do just at lunch?
No, we just ate and talked and
working.
Okay, what happened after that?
Um, we argued for a while and then he got angry and left
and I stayed in my truck and I just,
I was very upset.
Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life?
You know the same way you can skip an ad?
I get it. I'm Siaia and I live in Ice Cove.
I've made some questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned.
And today, I'm still figuring it out.
Somehow things usually get worse before they get better.
Apparently, that's how I roll.
So bundle up and come along for the bumpy ride.
Stream a new episode of North of North Tuesdays on CBC Gem.
Waited for a while until I was able to calm down.
When he left, where did he go?
Fortunately for investigators, Devin agrees to talk, but whether that's actually good for the investigation remains to be seen.
Because Devin has already heard almost everything detectives have against her,
they have to consider the possibility that she could shape her account around what she already knows.
Even so, investigators have developed enough evidence to seize Devin's clothing for gunshot residue testing,
confiscate her phone and black Nissan,
and ultimately arrest her on suspicion of involvement in Jason's murder.
but the investigation is still far from over.
Devon has repeatedly pointed detectives towards her new boyfriend, AJ, claiming she was at his
house shortly before the murder and that after the two argued, AJ angrily drove away.
And thanks to this interview, investigators finally learn who AJ really is.
Andrew James Ritchie, he's 34 years old and lives roughly 30 miles away from where Jason
was killed. When detectives look him up, one detail immediately makes Rosa's earlier statements
far more significant. AJ works as a federal correctional officer. Later that night, investigators head
to AJ's home to interview him. And although they don't know it yet, AJ is eventually going to help
them uncover not only who shot Jason, but a much larger murder plot in which Jason may have only
been the first target. How are you? Are you AJ? Yeah. AJ, my name's Inspector Chris Lucas. I'm a federal
We just want to talk to you a little bit about a lady by the name of Devon.
Okay.
Shriner.
Do you know her?
Yeah.
How do you know her?
She's a friend.
She's a friend.
Yeah.
She definitely made it pretty clear that she liked me more than I liked her.
Okay.
And I'm married, so.
Okay.
We still talk.
Okay.
We talk today.
I have a pretty good idea what this is about because.
When did you talk to her?
Apparently, well, she was driving to the police station.
But she didn't stop by and talk to you or...
We talked briefly today.
It wasn't a good conversation.
I told her that I wasn't happy.
I didn't want her here.
Okay.
So she was here?
She was here.
What time was she here?
11 something to probably about 12.15?
You know, the timeline is important to us.
So she was here around 11.
And she stayed until 1215.
Yeah.
Could it have been later than that?
Because I ended up leaving.
Well, I was mad.
She was almost in tears because I told her I don't want her around my family.
I don't want to do this.
Sure.
I don't want anything to do with her.
So around, go ahead, I'm sorry.
So she was upset.
And so I left and went to Hoogers and ate with some friends.
Okay.
And I don't, she went back to living a while.
When you left.
And I got there probably about 12.30.
At Hooters.
Yeah.
AJ seems to back Devin up.
He confirms that she came to his house in her postal truck, claims they argued, and that
he left around 1215 to meet friends at Hooters while Devin stayed behind upset.
But there's already a problem.
Just minutes earlier, A.J. had claimed he hadn't seen Devin at all that day.
And by giving detectives such a specific timeline, A.J. has now handed them something they
can test against the phone records, GPS data, and surveillance footage.
Six days later, detectives arrive at AJ's workplace.
In that time, they've tracked his phone, compared his story against Devons,
and reconstructed his movements on the morning of the murder,
and now they know his account is filled with contradictions.
More importantly, investigators have uncovered evidence suggesting Jason may not have been the only intended victim that day.
And when AJ sits down for a second interview, detectives are finally ready to show him exactly how much of his story
they've already disproven.
So, first off, I know that we're at your place of work.
So I imagine that they called you down here.
So you probably don't exactly feel like you have a choice
in being in the stream right now
since your bosses are all outside the door.
So before we talk, before I ask you any questions,
they want to you to go and have a seat.
We'll go through this first part.
Let me ask you this.
Do you have any weapons on you, any knives?
Nothing like that.
Okay.
You've already indicated that you don't want to talk to us.
You've got a couple of things here.
All right.
So I'm going to show you a few things.
and see if you want to talk about it all.
Okay.
Do you have any idea what that picture is right there?
Looks like GPS.
So those are phone signals coming from your phone
down in the Longmont area in the same neighborhood
as a shooting with location information
for the mailman who was shot that morning.
All right.
So we know that you were in Longmont that morning,
and I'm not asking that because of you.
I'm just asking that to further verify
whether or not you had any idea where Devon was at that time.
You've already told me that you weren't with Devon at 1215
like you had previously told us, all right?
So the reason I'm showing you this is because we can show that you weren't with Devon
and you can't obviously verify where she was.
Right. What else did you want to show me?
You got nothing to say about this?
That's off your phone.
Two days before this happened.
Can you explain that?
You're a smart guy. I think you know where we're going with this.
going with this so if you want to give us answers now's the time to give them to us the picture a j is
looking at is one of the strongest pieces of evidence detectives have uncovered in the case so far it was
sent from devon to a j just a few days before the murder showing her in the exact same clothes jason's
killer was later recorded wearing at the scene at this point detectives have little doubt that
devon was the one who killed jason but there's still one equally important question
question to answer. Was Devin acting alone or was A.J. her accomplice? And as AJ begins
explaining what happened, detectives are about to learn that Jason's murder was only one part
of something far more disturbing. You only get a couple of opportunities to give us explanations
for what's going on. We're trying to find the truth. So her and I were talking in the morning
when I dropped her off at my house, and I didn't necessarily think too much of it.
After she had gotten to work or on her way to work, she had called me and told me that
she had decided that that was what she thought needed to happen.
And she had told me that she had thought about doing this before.
Actually, three days prior to that, she told me that she was going to do this, and I talked her out of it.
That's the truth.
So explain this picture to me.
Explain this picture right here in the middle.
What's the conversation around that?
So that was the three days prior when she told me that she was going to go over there in the middle of the time.
And I told her, I told her not to.
Originally, her plan was she was going to take out Jason, Rosa, and herself.
And I begged her not.
She has talked about his route because she knows the long long run routes.
So I went out there, I knew his route number, I found him, and I continued to stay on the phone with her to try to tell her, to try to talk her out with it.
At that point in time, I stopped over at his truck and I told him that he should watch out for her because I think she's planning on doing something.
He just looked me to make this boy and I was like, Devin, I said she's unsubbed.
And I said she's unstable right now and I think that she's been something stupid.
And he said, I'm not scared of that.
And I said, okay.
And I left.
AJ claims he was only trying to stop Devin from hurting Rosa or Jason,
even going as far as hiding Jason's truck and warning him himself.
But what AJ doesn't realize is that detectives aren't buying his story.
And they already believe his connection to Jason's murder runs far deeper
than he's willing to admit.
I'm just trying to find stuff that's going to help you at this point.
Because you understand.
You're telling me that, but I don't have evidence of that.
Does that make sense?
Right.
Why don't, so you know we have your phone.
You got your phone records.
We have her phone records.
Why don't, if this has happened multiple times
where she said that she's going to do this or she needs to do this,
why don't we see any texts of you telling her not to do this
if you've begged and pleaded for her not to so many times?
There's no documentation of you actually trying,
to calm her down from going to kill him,
even though this has happened multiple times.
She never told me on Texas that she was going to leave her.
You didn't tell anyone.
You did think she was going to do it.
You went down there to warn him.
Right.
You went down there, not just to warn him.
You went down there and you waited if what you're telling me is true.
If I'm supposed to believe what you're telling me is true,
you're saying that you went all the way.
You believed it so much to the extent that you went all the way
to Longmont after you had spent the night with her to go down there and sit and follow a mail truck around for two or three hours.
That's how much you believed it.
And you didn't tell anyone else.
That's what I'm supposed to believe?

New season hits September 18th on Paramount Plus.
Where did the gun come from?
I have no idea.
I assume an outside.
I don't know what's an incident.
So what have I told you that there are people that said that,
even though you and Jason didn't have a lot of contacting,
together. From their understanding, there's tension between you and Jason.
Specifically because of the situation with that.
We said that they feel very personally that you specifically had it out for Jason.
How and why? What's the mover there? What do I stand the benefit?
He was with the girl that you're apparently with.
They have a kid together. They spend time together.
They don't spend time together, but I could care less.
Were you scouting out that area for her?
heard it come down. She already knew Israel.
Hmm? She already knew his route. She was at his
case. That wasn't my question. That wasn't my question. No, it was not.
What I thought... Why did you go down
there to follow him around if you didn't think that's what she was going to do?
Because I wanted to stop her if she came out there.
So you did think she was on the way to go down there to kill him.
But I didn't discuss with her about going, killing somebody.
I'm trying to talk. But you said she talked about that before.
You said that you had to talk her down from that on more than one occasion.
That was the first thing you told me.
All right, you're under arrest.
Go ahead and stand up, place your hands behind your back.
Is it possible to do that out in the parking lot?
No, no, stand up for me.
As the interrogation wraps up, AJ refuses to reveal anything more about his involvement,
insisting that he had only followed Jason in an attempt to prevent the shooting.
But detectives know that tracking Jason's postal route for nearly three hours,
while remaining in constant contact with Devon, had to mean far more than that.
So AJ is placed under arrest for his role in the murder of Jason Schaefer.
And as investigators continue examining the pair's phones, the case against him becomes even more disturbing.
Hidden among their messages are conversations dating back months before the shooting,
in which AJ encourages Devon's violent thoughts towards Jason and Rosa.
In one message, he tells her she could simply kill them both, and even suggests making it a
as though they had killed each other.
Combined with their nearly three-hour call on the morning of the murder,
AJ's movements along Jason's route and the false alibi they had attempted to create,
detectives now have enough to show that AJ was not trying to stop the attack.
He had helped Devin locate Jason and prepare for it.
Both A.J. and Devin would ultimately be charged with first-degree murder after deliberation.
A.J. was prosecuted under Colorado's complicity law.
meaning he faced the same murder charge as Devon despite never firing the gun himself.
In March, 2003, Devin was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Six months later, AJ was convicted of the same charge and received the same sentence,
ensuring that neither of them would ever be released.
