Melissa and Chris were completely broke and on their way to Nova Scotia with six children. As they drove, Melissa was emailing with a woman named Sue Andrews. Sue wrote to Melissa saying she'd read a newspaper article about her family. First, let me say how sorry I am to hear about your troubled times. I just can't get it out of my mind. How awful for you and your kids.

That's a friend of the show reading for Sue. Sue said she was part of a charitable group that helped families in need. She sent Melissa gift cards for Best Buy and Toys R Us. They became sort of pen pals. And one day, Melissa wrote with a request. I am going to do something that is so hard for me right now. I'm coming to you for help.

Melissa said she'd moved her family to the East Coast because her kids' father had been murdered and they needed to get away from Ontario. Melissa and Chris had left a lot of their belongings behind in a storage trailer that was too beat up for the road trip. She told Sue they needed to get the trailer to their new home and help with rent if possible. The kids are so happy here,

but life is difficult with nothing. Please let me know ASAP. Sue was a religious woman who signed her emails with Bible quotes and God bless. She was moved by Melissa's story about her murdered ex-husband. Was anyone ever caught for this terrible crime? I am broken-hearted for you.

Sue said she had a nephew who ran a moving company and could deliver their stuff. She also agreed to pay three months' rent. Melissa, Chris, and the kids had moved to a house in the country, south of Halifax. They were back to living the simple life, raising dairy goats and chickens.

Melissa used Sue as a sounding board. I often wonder why so much has happened to us in the past couple of years. Why my strength is always tested. Melissa told Sue that she sometimes felt like the worst mother in the world. Sue said God doesn't give us more than we can handle. In November, Sue's nephew delivered their belongings. Melissa was grateful. The more help you can offer right now, the better.

We are on our way out of this huge hole. Melissa asked for more help, with groceries, gas, coats for the children, Christmas gifts, homeschooling books, and more rent. Sue delivered, and in early December, she even sent the whole family on a weekend getaway to a theme park. But there was something Melissa didn't know about her new benefactor. Sue was not who she said she was. She was an undercover cop.

The police had nicknamed her charitable Sue. The nephew with a moving company, he was also a cop. In some of the items he brought to Nova Scotia, police had installed wiretaps. And that trip to the theme park? As soon as the family left, police entered their home and planted more wiretaps. — Melissa and Chris were about to be outsmarted. The police already had DNA evidence tying Chris to Caleb's murder, but this was a triple homicide investigation. And there were two suspects.

The police needed to figure out what Melissa did, what she knew, and when she knew it. They suspected that she and Chris were co-consumeroused. were co-conspirators in a plot to kill her ex, his mother, and maybe even his father. But they were a long way from proving it. One thing that would really help? A confession. From Sony Music Entertainment, this is what happened to the Harrisons. I'm Amy Dempsey Raven.

This is episode five. I'm a murderer. It's November 20. 2013, three months after Caleb's murder. Melissa, Chris, and the six kids are living in a three-bedroom house in a farming community. The place good old Sue set them up in. And police are listening to everything. There are wiretaps in the kitchen, the living room, their bedroom, the minivan.

But there are problems with this police operation. The first one, Melissa and Chris aren't really talking about the murders. With six kids, age 12 and under, there's not much alone time. So the police hatch a plan to get them talking. They start sending stimulation emails, fake updates on the homicide investigation. Melissa and Chris believe they've been added to a mailing list for victims' family members. These updates will send them into a. a panic and draw out the conversations police are hoping to hear.

There was another problem with the wiretap operation that was harder to solve. The audio quality? Not great. Especially with a baby screeching, dishes clattering, a dog barking. Plus, Melissa and Chris often whispered so the children wouldn't hear. But some of what the police heard was damning. Late one night in December, Melissa. And Melissa and Chris are in the dining room, and Melissa reads one of the fake updates from police out loud. The email questioned whether Melissa and Chris were telling the truth about where they went after the softball game the night Caleb died.

The couple had told police they went to the Pita Pitipit in the subway at a Walmart Plaza near their house. But they didn't mention going into Walmart. The children are in bed. but Melissa speaks quietly just in case. She reminds Chris, they went there for the shoes. Or at least, that's what police believe she says. It's difficult to hear this one, and Melissa would argue later that the police transcripts

could not be trusted. But as the conversation goes on, it's pretty clear they're talking about shoes from Walmart. Melissa and Chris don't know yet that police found the sneakers in their trash, along with the black gloves that had both Chris's and Caleb's DNA on them. So Chris isn't too worried. There's a child screaming in this recording, and it's really hard to hear. But police say that Melissa said,

you're the one wearing those shoes. Melissa's worried. She asks how he paid for them. I don't think I was stupid enough to use debit. Don't think I was stupid enough to use debit, Chris says. But in fact, he did use debit. And the police already had the receipt. Melissa comes up with a plan.

She says they should go back to the police and say, we forgot. We did go to Walmart that night. She tells Chris to say, he bought shoes to cut the lawn in. They didn't end up contacting the police to change their story, but days later, Melissa is still anxious. She pulls Chris aside to discuss a new plan. So, you know what are you thinking?

They're in the minivan. It sounds like Melissa's cleaning it. The kids are playing outside. I'm thinking. You didn't go back and say anything about the shoes yet? Yeah. You should know the shoes of the shoes. You should never speak of the shoes.

Melissa says the sneakers could be a problem for her. In her police interview, she'd said Chris owned three pairs of footwear, cowboy boots, flip-flops, and blue running shoes. She didn't mention the Walmart sneakers. She worried the police could point to this and say she was lying. The recordings also captured Melissa and Chris coaching the children. shaping what they believed about Caleb, his family, and who they should trust if police ever came knocking. In one recording, Melissa tells her son that his father's family wants to take him and his sister away from her.

They don't care. They don't care about your mom. They care about themselves. They care about giving you away from him. Why is because they all hate him? Why do you have killed him? Everything I do is a plot against me. I'm telling you right now.

Melissa's angry because some of Caleb's relatives have access to the house on Pitch Pine Crescent, and she doesn't. She wants to get some of the kids' belongings. Melissa makes it sound like their father's family is holding their stuff hostage. She tells her son, the Harrisons want their daddy, Chris,

to go to. jail. She says, they're keeping your stuff so when daddy gets arrested and goes to jail, you can live with them. Melissa says Caleb's family will cast her as the bad person, because she stayed with Chris and he's a murderer. She's being sarcastic. She makes all of this sound like a big joke. Chris keeps this joke going. He even doubles down. He's growling, I'm a murderer, in a sort of Halloween voice. The conversation gets more disturbing.

With Caleb's son in the room, Melissa and Chris discuss the Harrison deaths one by one, speaking flippantly. They talk about how it would have been impossible for Chris to kill Bill because they were in Manitoba when he does. This, we already know, isn't true. They were in Mississauga. Somehow I did it from Manitoba when we were saying

in that hotel of the huge coup deuce up front. In the custody battle, Melissa had claimed she'd never said a bad word to the kids about Caleb or his family. But the recordings show, Melissa was more than willing to manipulate her own children. She even tells her son

that if police want to interview him about his father, murder, he should say no. She and Chris warn him that the police will twist his words. Because I've already told me, if you say, I'm not sure, I don't know, I can't recall, or I don't remember. They can't ask him to notice. Unless you're confident you say no, saying the word no is the only way they're trying to know.

Melissa tells her son to be careful what he says to the police about the key he had to his father's house. a key he kept in his backpack. She says the police might ask him about it. They might want to know if he ever took the key to his mom's house. In another recording, she warns her son, what's at stake. Four months after Melissa and Chris moved out east, they were starting to believe police were closing in on them. They were right.

One morning in late January, five months after Caleb's murder, more than a dozen police cars and SUVs rumbled down a country road on Nova Scotia's south shore in a sort of convoy. They pulled into the driveway of the house Melissa and Chris were renting, and police officers emerged. Chris came to the door, his hair dented from sleep.

Melissa and Chris were arrested as the children watched, crying and screaming. They were each charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one for Caleb and one for Bridget. They were placed in separate vehicles, each with a detective who had been preparing to interview them for weeks. Only one of them would talk. When you put your body in the hands of a surgeon, you assume your doctor will do you no harm. I'm looking at the surgery board for tomorrow.

These people are f***. Crooked doctors have launched their most ambitious fraud yet, worth over $1 billion. One doctor says, my kickback was $25,000, and the other doctor's going, well, I only got $12,000. From Sony Music Entertainment and Western Sound, this is Dr. Billions. Coming October 1 to the binge, listen wherever you get your podcast. This morning, Tuesday, January 28th, at approximately 10 a.m. local time in Nova Scotia. Appeal Regional Police Homicide Investigators arrested in charge two people. The first, Ms. Melissa Irene Merritt, aged 33 years,

and her common law husband, Mr. Christopher Fiore Tatore, age 36 years. They have been charged jointly with two counts in first-degree murder for the deaths of Bridget and Caleb Harrison. All right, Chris. I want you to know a couple of things here. This is Detective Phil King. He's putting Chris in the backseat of a police SUV. Chris is in handcuffs, and he's having what sounds like a mild panic attack. Chris, I told you at the door that you're being arrested currently for two counts of murder.

Detective King is wearing a... suit and tie, but he looks kind of like a college football player, broad-shouldered and ruggedly handsome. Do you have any questions? Okay. I just want to know what's going on with my children. And I'm going to get that too? I'm in this car. Okay.

You tell me that I'm in this car for murder. Yes. I don't know why I'm in this car. And that's fair. Chris will say this over and over. I don't know why I'm here. It's an odd kind of denial, as if the problem is the arrest, not. the accusation. King reads Chris's rights and leaves the car so he can speak with a legal

aid lawyer. When he returns, he makes a promise. I'm not going to bullshit you today. If you have questions for me, I'm going to give you real answers. The way I look at it here is that we can both be respectful to one another and get through this whole thing. Detective King was hand-picked for this job. The lead investigators believed King had the best chance of connecting. with Chris. King was a country boy into football and home renovations, and he was 36, just like Chris. During the hour and a half drive to the police station in Halifax,

King gets Chris talking about guy stuff, fatherhood, bad knees, hunting, and woodworking. The detective is clearly trying to earn Chris's trust. They're now settled into an interview room at a police station in Halifax. There's a small table between them. And he's about choices. And Chris, they're going to be the hardest choices of your life today.

But you're going to have to make them. And it's going to take a strong person to do that. On the camera, under bright fluorescent lights, Chris looks pale and shaky. But he's calm. He's wearing a snug black t-shirt with a picture of a skull on it. It's 1.30 in the afternoon. He'll spend the next 14 hours in this room. Chris tells him he's not going to talk about the case. The lawyer said he shouldn't. But then, Chris does talk. He talks a lot.

He starts out defensive. He tells Detective King that he and Melissa always suspected police would come for them because the Harrison family has been pointing fingers since Bridget's death. Thank you. That's what I'm a far as I know, I didn't do anything wrong. What is that me? I had no involvement in what you're trying to say, but I did. Then Chris explains why he wouldn't voluntarily give his DNA to the police. I know for a fact that any of my hair, skin cells, or anything from me would be transferred between children back and forth to the house. I've never stepped foot in the house.

Chris doesn't know the police already have his DNA. from a discarded coffee cup. They've only been asking him for it to see how he responds. He has no idea what the police have on him. But he's about to find out. What I can tell you is that even though Caleb is dead, he was able to tell us who murdered him because he has DNA under his fingernails and it belongs to you.

That sounds to me you have to believe. It's not what I believe. That's the truth. They spend hours going back and forth on DNA. Detective King shows Chris the reports from the scientists who analyze the samples from under Caleb's fingernails. But Chris says it must have gotten there another way. He says the DNA evidence is, to me, circumstantial.

Tell me how I got there. Tell me how I got into the house. Tell me what I did. How do you want me to prove the evidence to you? Want me, you already bring the video of you in your view killing? He brings in a laptop and starts playing the wiretaps. Chris scoffs at the sound quality. All you're a bunch of static on sounds like trying to be it.

He has a point. These wiretaps will cause years of trouble and frustration for police and prosecutors in court. Detective King plays them one after the other and narrates what the police audio experts believe they say. He plays the one where Melissa. Chris talk about the shoes, and another, where it sounds like they're talking about Caleb's murder. Would you be surprised about a conversation that you and Melissa may have had, where you said to her, he did grab me by the neck?

And Melissa replied, even if by chance, he did get you on the neck, by chance, that would be a minuscule note. The detective says Chris can be heard telling Melissa. that he went into Caleb's bedroom and shocked him. I did not have those conversations, and I did not do anything to kill. I'd never touched them. But Detective King has the tape. He plays the conversation.

Chris holds a portable speaker to his ear to listen. Wow. Your experts have must have really good ears, because I don't hear any other. Then the detective drops a bombshell. He tells Chris about the items police seized from the guard. at his home in Mississauga, the shoes and the black gloves. Those gloves are in the hunt. Those gloves are killed. And they put you in a real tight spot. He tells him what police found on the gloves, Caleb's DNA on one side, Chris's DNA on the other.

At this point, Chris looks freaked out, but he says nothing. King plays another wiretap, and then he reads Chris's words back to him. No jury in the world is going to convict a mother and father of six children of murder when they don't have enough information. This is the problem. It doesn't matter if there's a photo of a debate. Yes, okay, I didn't tell you. went out for a late-night snack.

But that doesn't put me in the house. You know what I mean? There's always a way around that. For a moment, they sit in silence. That's ugly. Yeah. That's ugly, right? Then Detective King tries a classic interrogation tactic.

He suggests that in the other room, Melissa is throwing Chris under the bus. Her father is going to hire. the vast lawyer that he can afford, he's going to say, Melissa, it's time to cut ties. I know you love him, and I know you have four children, but it's him or you. This doesn't work.

Chris is not going to turn on Melissa. So Detective King appeals to his sense of duty as a family man. He frames telling the truth as the thing a good father would do. Chris remains defiant. Nothing puts me in the house. You guys are to keep playing all the audio and talking about the gloves all you want. Caleb put you in the house.

Caleb, when he died, with his last breaths, he put you in the house. And that's the beauty of this. Not for you, but for me. Detective King takes out the crime scene photos. He shows Chris the bruised. and abrasions on Caleb and Bridget. Very, very, very similar injuries.

Almost as if somebody did it once, got away with it, did it a second time. Chris doesn't react. They're nine hours in. Things are getting tense. Just don't understand why it is you can sit here and constantly be like, you're murder, I'm murder, I'm innocent until Cleveland guilty.

Chris is angry. and cold. He pulls on his jacket, a huge camouflage parka with a fur-lined hood that makes him look almost adolescent. From here on out, I'm shouting my face. You would want to talk him. You're talking. Undeadone. Detective King leans back and starts narrating more wiretaps while Chris sits in stony silence. I went in there and the fucking coward didn't fucking fight me. That, my friend, is made for TV stuff right there. It's 10.30 p.m., 12 hours since he was arrested, and it's looking like he's not going to confess.

King leaves the room for a while. When he returns, Chris has calmed down. He asks how Melissa's doing. He's been thinking about her and his kids. He asks King to finish a sentence for him. Melissa walks free of, Detective King can't promise a deal, but he says that if Chris has information that exonerates Melissa, he needs to share it. If she had nothing to do with it, the truth will benefit her.

Any of you love their kicks. I don't want to see my children go without... He leans hard on the fatherhood stuff. You're a good family man, Chris. I believe that. I believe that we'll harden you. At 1.15 a.m., King returns from another break. For four minutes, they sit together in silence.

Chris is hunched over the table. It's like he's wilted. He shifts and sighs. Finally, he speaks. They got a lot of stuff he said. Okay then. It's decision time for us. Where then?

Time to choose. The detective says, You've got a man up. There's another long pause before Chris speaks again. And then it happens. He showed me a lot of things today. A lot. molded over in my head.

I just say by saying that I don't know what Melissa Meredith has told anybody in that other room. And the truth of the fact is that Mosa had nothing to do with any of these. In fact, she knew nothing about... She knew nothing about them. It's after...

Caleb was dead. His breath becomes shaky. He starts to cry. He tells Detective King he's sorry for lying to him. I didn't like him. Caleb Harrison. And by the way you treated my kids.

Chris says my kids, but he's talking about Caleb's, his stepchildren. I didn't like hearing all the horrific stories. It was an awful family. They treated the children my shit. I and Moses had to live with it every day, and I couldn't watch Moses' attitude and how sorry she was for everything that was going on. And I'm telling you right now, Mo Samarit did not know anything until after it was done.

Detective King needs him to say it. What did you do? I killed Bridget Harrison and Caleb Harrison. How did you kill Bridget? They knocked on her door. She opened the door and pretended to have a letter to give to the children. She refused the letter. So I then forced my way into the house and I had talked to her.

I hit her a couple times. I then proceeded to squeeze her neck until she stopped breathing and laid all the floor. Chris buries his head in his hands and cries. He says he never meant for Melissa's son to find Bridget dead. That's not the plan. That's not what I wanted. I figured that someone would come home or Caleb would come home and find her.

That's for Caleb. I snuck out in the middle of the night. I also had no idea. Chris parked a few streets away from Pitch Pine Crescent. He brought the gloves, the throwaway shoes from Walmart, and a baseball bat. The bat belonged to one of Caleb's kids, and now he was going to use it to kill their father. He tucked it up his sleeve and walked to the house in the dark. It was sometime after two in the morning.

He let himself in with a key he stole from his stepson. Without Melissa knowing, he says. He knew Caleb slept with a fan, so he followed the noise and found his wife's ex in bed, asleep. Chris raised the bat over his head and struck him hard in the chest. Caleb leaped out of bed. When he sprung up, we began to struggle. I threw him into the shelving unit beside his bed. He tried to bribe him with money.

I didn't speak to him. I just knocked him to the ground and then proceeded to choke him. He told he said, Chris, stop. I didn't say anything to him. And he said, if you want money, I can give you money. It wasn't about money. None of it was ever about money. I didn't care about money.

I did it to get my children home and I did it so I could stop watching my wife cry and salk around the house and have anxiety. attacks every time the children would leave. Chris says Melissa didn't know he bought the shoes. He put them in the back of the van without her seeing. I don't want anything about it to be it to Melissa.

I'm honest to tell you she could not know anything until after Caleb. And all the questions started to arise. And I got scared when I thought I could confide in her. Chris is sobbing now. Oh my God. Detective King puts a hand on his shoulder and thanks him. So stupid. Now that it goes by that I don't wish that I had done either of them.

I know that. He says he killed Bridget because he believed it would level the playing field between Melissa and Caleb in the custody battle. Because I knew Caleb had his convictions and had him in jail. Yeah. As for Caleb, Chris says he got tired of seeing him get away with things. He just had a free pass. He just got through life doing whatever he wanted. It doesn't matter what the other side of his family says

because they're always going to say he was a good guy. He was a rotten, rotten person. There's one more thing Detective King needs to ask about. Chris isn't charged in Bill's death. The police don't have enough evidence yet. but he wants to hear what Chris has to say. I got to ask about Bill. Bill, I know nothing about Bill.

I will say that from the bottom of my heart. Chris's confession is a huge win for the police. But in the interview room down the hall, Melissa gives up nothing. Chris may have said Melissa had nothing to do with it, but police, they don't believe. leave that at all. Inside the police task force, there's concern that the case against Melissa still leans

heavily on circumstantial evidence and inferences drawn from the wiretaps. So the team makes a plan, a last-ditch effort to capture one more unguarded conversation. A few days after the arrest, Melissa and Chris are taken in separate cars to the Halifax airport. Chris is placed in a holding room to wait for his flight. But then another police officer shows up at the same room with Melissa. Where's what's pretty hard? He's in here. Well, I got no rusted footer. This whole thing is a ruse. The room is wiretapped. Melissa and Chris are alone. As soon as the door closes, they begin to speak.

Chris is asking Melissa, what did you tell the police? She says, nothing. This recording is also difficult to hear. They're whispering and speaking over each other. Chris tells Melissa what he told the police. He says, I'm taking the accessory for it, to get you an accessory after the fact. He says, I told them that I told you about the murders

after my August interview with the police, the one a few days after Caleb died. I got scared. Melissa seems shocked. Chris says he spoke to his parents, and they were upset to hear he confessed. They blamed Melissa. They were like, don't be stupid,

And I don't take it all. She did this, too. I'm like, until you know my reasons behind. You can't blame her. So stop fucking... Chris thinks he's built a good case for himself. He tells Melissa he's going to plead insanity. He says he's going to retract his confession and claim he made it under duress.

He seems frantic and deeply in denial. He wants to make sure Melissa understands the timeline. So he goes through it again. Just don't say to him. Just know. Chris corrects her. Not Bridget and Bill. Police and prosecutors would seize on Melissa's statement.

Bridget and Bill. Was it a slip of the tongue? Or was she double-checking because she knew he'd committed not two, but three murders. Why do you have it happen? Tracking at all. Melissa was right.

Police had nothing tying Chris to the scene of Bridget's murder. No DNA, no witnesses. Chris says he didn't give them anything new. I don't have anything on you. I know. This don't have anything. You admitted it, Melissa says. I had to do it under duress.

I was exhausted, me. Melissa is angry, but not that angry. Right. Come to me, Vegas. Chris tells Melissa he spent the night in solitary confinement. He asked to be placed there. Not a fucking criminal. I don't want to be put in general population.

Chris says his biggest concern is that his children are going to hate him. He's especially worried about his stepson. He says he feels guilty for lying to his face. Melissa says the kids will understand. She'll help them. That's what I'm going to say that the kids all the time. Your daddy did this for you. That might not have been the right thing.

It's probably he felt he did he did. Chris is scared. I'm not going to take the broth of it. Don't be square. I'm not my lady. I can. I know what I did. Melissa says she called her father after she was arrested.

He's like, please tell me. He didn't say anything. Lisa, please tell me you something. Melissa told her father, the police were mean to her during the interrogation. The officer who interviewed Melissa called her a bad mother and said she manipulated Chris to make him kill for her.

Melissa told her father she spoke up a few times. He didn't like that. My dad yelled to me. Okay, talk. Melissa, you're talking about you're talking about. I was like, Dad, they're so mean. This is not the fuck. Melissa had a long road ahead.

It would take four years to get to trial. And she would not get weak. Next time on what happened to the Harrisons. With Melissa and Chris in jail, police start examining a mountain of electronic evidence. And they find something. An old laptop in the trailer that Charitable Sue's nephew rescued for them.
