Narrator: A PILLAR OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IS KILLED ON HIS OWN DOORSTEP.
[ GUNSHOT ] MY HEAD WAS SPINNING.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BRING SOMEBODY
TO MURDER A SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT?
MOM, YOU CAN'T GO. YOU HAVE TO STAY.
Narrator: POLICE CAN FIND NO MOTIVE, NO LEADS.
WE WERE STRUGGLING WITH LOTS OF THINGS
BECAUSE NOTHING WAS MAKING SENSE.
Narrator: BUT WHEN THEY SEARCH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO,
THEY BEGIN TO UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY.
Gerace: AND I LOOKED AT THAT PICTURE
FROM THE TELEVISION SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
AND WENT, "OH, MY GOODNESS."
**
Narrator: WILL THE VIDEO REVEAL WHO KILLED KEITH REED?
**
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2012, CLYMER, NEW YORK.
IT'S 10:00 A.M., AND ED BAILEY DRIVES
PAST THE HOUSE OF HIS FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE KEITH REED.
I NOTICED THAT BOTH OF KEITH'S VEHICLES
WERE STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I KNEW HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO A MEETING
IN SARATOGA, NEW YORK, THAT WEEKEND,
AND HE WAS GONNA LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
Narrator: BAILEY FEARS SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
Bailey: I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I GOT OUT AND OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR,
AND I SEE THE DOG WAS IN THE GARAGE,
DOG FOOD TIPPED OVER.
AND I YELLED FOR KEITH.
KEITH!
THERE WAS NO ANSWER.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
Narrator: HE CALLS KEITH'S CELLPHONE,
BUT KEITH DOESN'T ANSWER.
THERE HAD TO BE A LOGICAL EXPLANATION.
KEITH!
**
Narrator: ONE DAY LATER, SUNDAY...
GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S -- IT'S ED BAILEY.
Narrator:...AND KEITH STILL ISN'T PICKING UP HIS PHONE.
ED CALLS THE CONFERENCE.
...FOR KEITH REED,
AND I'M WONDERING IF HE'S CHECKED IN YET.
THEY TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NOT THERE.
IT STARTED WEIGHING ON ME THAT THIS IS REALLY ODD.
HE'S NOT ANSWERED TEXT MESSAGES
OR PHONE CALLS FOR A DAY AND A HALF NOW.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
Narrator: ALARMED, ED CALLS KEITH'S BROTHER, KEVIN,
A FORMER POLICE DETECTIVE.
Kevin: WELL, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO A CONFERENCE.
WE CALLED THE HOTEL.
HE HASN'T CHECKED IN AND NO ONE'S HEARD FROM HIM.
AND I SAID, "I'M ON MY WAY."
Narrator: KEVIN KNOWS THAT KEITH,
A SINGLE FATHER OF THREE DAUGHTERS,
WOULDN'T JUST DISAPPEAR.
Kevin: HE WOULD CALL THE GIRLS EVERY DAY,
SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY, AND TALK TO THEM,
WANTING TO KNOW HOW THEIR DAY WAS, YOU KNOW,
JUST KEEPING A LOVING,
GUIDING TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
I'VE NEVER SEEN MY BROTHER AS HAPPY AS HE WAS
THE DAY THAT CAITLIN GOT MARRIED.
HE WAS JUST JOYOUS -- JUST JOYOUS.
Narrator: THAT NIGHT, KEVIN REED
JOINS ED BAILEY AT KEITH'S HOUSE.
HEY, KEVIN.
THANKS FOR COMING BY SO QUICK. I'M GONNA GO IN.
I WANT TO CHECK THINGS OUT FOR A BIT.
I'LL WAIT RIGHT HERE. THANKS.
I WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, AND, UH...
HEY, KEITH!
...I NOTICED IN THE KITCHEN, HIS WALLET,
$800 IN CASH, EVERYTHING LAID OUT.
HEY, KEITH, YOU UP THERE?
**
I WENT UPSTAIRS AND LOOKED IN HIS BEDROOM.
HIS SUITCASE WAS OPEN AND ABOUT 3/4 PACKED
AND OTHER CLOTHES LAYING ON THE BED.
Narrator: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO KEITH, IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED
IN THE MIDDLE OF PACKING FOR HIS CONFERENCE.
THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE.
EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE WAS IN ORDER.
IT WAS JUST VERY, VERY ODD.
WE GOT TO GO.
HAVING WORKED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 20 YEARS,
I TOLD ED TO LEAVE
BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT GOING TO TURN OUT WELL.
ED LOOKED AT ME.
HE SAYS, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT GOING TO TURN OUT WELL?"
I SAID, "YOU CAN'T BE IN HERE. THIS IS GONNA BE A CRIME SCENE."
I GOT TO CALL THE POLICE.
OKAY.
**
Narrator: ED BAILEY WORKS WITH KEITH REED AT CLYMER CENTRAL SCHOOL.
HE KNOWS KEITH IS A VERY HANDS-ON SUPERINTENDENT.
HE SEEMED TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE VERY WELL.
HE MADE EVERYBODY FEEL THAT THEY WERE IMPORTANT.
JAMES.
HOW ARE YOU, MISTER? FOOTBALL GAME COMING UP?
KEITH WOULD GREET THE KIDS AT THE SCHOOL EVERY DAY
AT THE DOOR WHEN THEY GOT OFF THE BUS.
HE KNEW THE NAMES OF EVERY KID IN THAT SCHOOL.
HELLO, GRACE. HOW ARE YA?
**
Narrator: MONDAY MORNING, AND STILL NO WORD FROM KEITH REED.
THE POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED IN.
WE HAD RECEIVED A MISSING-PERSON COMPLAINT.
AND A DEPUTY HAD INTERVIEWED MR. BAILEY.
DETECTIVE.
HEY, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TODAY.
OF COURSE.
Narrator: POLICE HEAD TO KEITH'S HOUSE
AND START A SEARCH
FOR THE MISSING SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
WHAT DO WE GOT?
KEVIN REED RETURNS
WITH HIS DESPERATELY WORRIED MOTHER BY HIS SIDE.
I'M SITTING ACROSS THE STREET, WATCHING WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Narrator: ALONG THE EDGE OF KEITH'S PROPERTY,
POLICE OFFICERS SPOT SOMETHING.
**
IT WAS LIKE A LOT OF OVERGROWTH OF PRICKLERS AND SHRUBBERY,
AND THERE HE WAS.
OH, MY GOD. THEY FOUND HIM.
[ CAR DOOR OPENS ] MOM, NO!
AT THAT POINT, MY MOTHER
GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WANTED TO GO UP
AND COVER MY BROTHER UP BECAUSE SHE SAID IT WAS COLD.
AND I HAD TO KEEP HER FROM GOING UP THERE.
MOM, YOU CAN'T GO.
YOU HAVE TO STAY. YOU CAN'T BE --
NO, MOM. NO.
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO KEEP A MOTHER
AWAY FROM HER DEAD SON.
THEY'LL FIGURE IT OUT, MOM, OKAY?
Narrator: SOMEONE SHOT KEITH REED THREE TIMES --
TWICE IN THE BACK AND ONCE IN THE CHEST.
THEIR MISSING-PERSONS CASE IS NOW A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
YEAH, CAN WE GET SOME CSI UNITS HERE, UH, STAT?
KEVIN REED CALLS KEITH'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY
TO BREAK THE HORRIBLE NEWS.
I JUST ABOUT DROPPED THE PHONE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
NO, NOT IN CLYMER.
IT WAS THE MOST SHOCKING EVENT THAT'S EVER HAPPENED IN CLYMER.
**
Narrator: PRINCIPAL BAILEY TELLS THE STAFF AND TEACHERS
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE BELOVED KEITH REED.
Bailey: I KNEW IN A SMALL COMMUNITY LIKE THIS,
WORD WOULD GET OUT FAST,
AND I WANTED THEM TO HEAR IT FROM ME
SO EVERYBODY WOULD GET THE SAME INFORMATION
AT THE SAME TIME.
Narrator: IT'S THE FIRST MURDER IN CLYMER
IN 200 YEARS,
AND IT HAS THE WHOLE TOWN BAFFLED AND SCARED.
Gerace: WHY KEITH REED?
YOU KNOW, MY HEAD WAS SPINNING.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BRING SOMEBODY
TO MURDER A SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT?
[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]
Narrator: POLICE SCOUR THE SCENE, LOOKING FOR ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT HELP THEM FIND KEITH REED'S KILLER.
THEY QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT THE LIGHTS
TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE WERE MISSING THEIR BULBS.
**
WHAT DO WE GOT?
THAT WAS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL FOR SUCH A WELL-KEPT HOUSE.
Narrator: POLICE HAVE TO WONDER
IF THE KILLER TOOK THE LIGHTBULBS
SO KEITH WOULDN'T SEE HIM WAITING IN THE SHADOWS.
[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]
AS INVESTIGATORS COMB THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE,
THEY FIND WHAT COULD BE A TELLTALE CLUE.
Gerace: THEY FOUND A PICTURE FRAME NEXT TO THE BED
IN KEITH'S BEDROOM,
AND THAT PICTURE FRAME WAS FACEDOWN
AND IT WAS EMPTY.
**
Narrator: IT'S HARDLY THE WORK OF A STRANGER.
THEN, THEIR SEARCH REVEALS SOMETHING
NO ONE KNEW ABOUT KEITH REED...
NOT EVEN HIS OWN FAMILY.
Gerace: HE HAD HANDGUNS IN THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD
AND OTHER PLACES IN THE HOUSE, WHICH LED SOME TO BELIEVE
THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT AN ATTACK.
**
Narrator: AND FINALLY, THERE'S NO SIGN OF KEITH'S CELLPHONE
ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE.
HE MIGHT'VE LOST IT, OR HIS KILLER MIGHT'VE TAKEN IT.
POLICE START PINGING KEITH'S PHONE
TO FIND WHERE IT IS...
TO NO AVAIL.
WE NEEDED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KEITH REID.
WHO IS THIS GUY?
WHO DID HE ASSOCIATE WITH?
WHERE DID HE GO?
WHAT DID HE DO?
**
Narrator: INVESTIGATORS FIRST TURN TO CLOSE FRIEND ED BAILEY
TO FIND OUT WHERE KEITH WAS
IN THE DAYS AND HOURS LEADING UP TO THE MURDER.
AT THAT POINT IN TIME, EVERYBODY WAS A SUSPECT.
ED BAILEY EXPLAINED TO US
THAT KEITH HAD AN APPOINTMENT FRIDAY EVENING
TO GO TO THE LAKEWOOD ROD & GUN.
KEITH REED REALLY WANTED TO BECOME A MEMBER
OF THE LAKEWOOD ROD & GUN,
WHICH IS A PRIVATE CLUB IN OUR AREA IN LAKEWOOD, NEW YORK.
Narrator: THE LAKEWOOD ROD & GUN CLUB IS A LOCAL PRIVATE MEMBER'S CLUB
THAT COULD BE THE LAST PLACE KEITH WAS SEEN ALIVE.
THE RECEPTIONIST TELLS INVESTIGATORS
THAT MEMBERS AND VISITORS SIGN IN TO A LOGBOOK.
IF KEITH WAS THERE, THE LOGBOOK WILL SHOW IT.
AND RIGHT IN THE BOOK FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
IS KEITH REED'S SIGN-IN.
YES, KEITH REED HAD SHOWED UP AT THE LAKEWOOD ROD & GUN
TO INQUIRE ABOUT MEMBERSHIP AND ACTUALLY HAD DINNER THERE.
Narrator: REED IS A GUEST,
AND SO WOULD NEED A MEMBER TO ESCORT HIM IN.
THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW WHICH MEMBER THAT COULD BE...
UNTIL POLICE NOTICE A POTENTIAL WITNESS.
THESE CAMERAS -- DO THEY WORK?
A SECURITY CAMERA
OVER THE RECEPTION DESK RECORDS EVERYONE COMING INTO THE CLUB.
POLICE TAKE THE SECURITY VIDEO BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.
COULD IT BE THAT KEITH REED'S LAST MOMENTS
WERE CAUGHT ON TAPE?
**
Narrator: POLICE IN CLYMER, NEW YORK,
ARE INVESTIGATING THE HOMICIDE
OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT KEITH REED.
THEY KNOW THAT REED WAS AT THE LAKEWOOD ROD & GUN CLUB
BEFORE HIS MURDER.
BUT NOW THE QUESTION IS, WAS HE THERE ALONE?
FOR ANSWERS, INVESTIGATORS HAVE TURNED
TO THE LOBBY'S SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
**
INVESTIGATORS KNOW KEITH SIGNED IN ON FRIDAY NIGHT
AROUND 6:00 P.M.
THEY SCROLL THE FOOTAGE TO AROUND THAT TIME.
SO THERE THEY ARE.
SHOWS HIM ENTERING INTO THE ROD & GUN,
GETTING SIGNED IN, VERY CLEARLY DEPICTS HIM.
Narrator: AND HE'S NOT ALONE.
**
RIGHT NEXT TO KEITH, ESCORTING HIM IN,
IS A MAN WELL-KNOWN TO THE CLUB'S MANAGEMENT.
HIS NAME -- JOHN FILHABER.
HE'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE COULD BE
THE LAST KNOWN PERSON THAT KEITH REED WAS WITH
PRIOR TO HIS DEATH.
**
Narrator: THE LOBBY IS NOT THE ONLY CAMERA --
OVERLOOKING THE RESTAURANT, ANOTHER ONE.
AND WAY IN THE DISTANCE, POLICE CAN CLEARLY SEE KEITH REED
AND JOHN FILHABER AT THE END OF THE BAR.
THEY SAT DOWN. THEY TALKED.
THEY HAD DINNER.
AND THEN, UPON DINNER BEING OVER,
KEITH REED EXITED.
Narrator: OVERLOOKING THE PARKING LOT -- A THIRD SECURITY CAMERA.
AND AT A QUARTER AFTER 8:00, RIGHT ON CUE --
FILHABER AND REED.
Boland: IT ALSO VERY CLEARLY DEPICTS HIM LEAVING THE ROD & GUN
THROUGH THE SAME ENTRANCE/EXIT AREA.
Narrator: IN THE PARKING LOT,
REED AND FILHABER CONTINUE THEIR CONVERSATION.
EVERYTHING LOOKS FRIENDLY, BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
Boland: THAT KEITH REED WAS DEFINITELY ALIVE
AT AROUND 8:30 P.M. ON FRIDAY EVENING.
**
Narrator: PERHAPS JOHN FILHABER HIMSELF CAN FILL IN POLICE
ON WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
THANKS AGAIN FOR MEETING. NO PROBLEM.
JUST REALLY GOING OVER THE LAST DETAILS...
HE SAYS, "JOHN, YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON
TO SEE HIM ALIVE."
I SAID, "NO, THE GUY WHO KILLED HIM
WAS THE LAST PERSON TO SEE HIM ALIVE."
IT STARTED OUT FINE. I MEAN, YOU KNOW...
Narrator: FILHABER TELLS INVESTIGATORS HE AND KEITH REED ARE FRIENDS
AND THAT KEITH WAS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE ROD & GUN CLUB.
THINGS CHANGED.
FILHABER REPORTED TO US THAT HE MET WITH KEITH REED OUT FRONT,
THAT THEY WENT IN.
THEY HAD DINNER.
I REALLY LIKE THIS PLACE. YEAH.
Narrator: FILHABER SAYS EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL...
UNTIL KEITH GOT A PHONE CALL.
HE GOT A PHONE CALL...
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
...ON HIS CELL.
AND HE TOOK A LOOK AT IT,
AND IT SEEMED THAT HE WAS NOT PLEASED TO GET THE CALL.
YOU OKAY?
I SAID, "HOW'S THINGS GOING WITH YOU?"
AND HE SAID,
"THE JOB IS WONDERFUL, BUT WOMEN SUCK."
Narrator: FILHABER HAS OFFERED A POSSIBLE LEAD.
IT SEEMS KEITH WAS HAVING RELATIONSHIP TROUBLES.
FILHABER DISHES UP ONE MORE CLUE FROM WHEN THE MEN PARTED WAYS.
WE WALKED OUTSIDE, AND HE SAYS,
"I GOT TO GO HOME AND PACK STILL."
AND THEN I SAYS, "YOU GONNA DRIVE ALL NIGHT?"
AND HE SAYS, "YEAH, I HAVE TO."
**
Narrator: POLICE NOW KNOW THAT KEITH LEFT THE ROD & GUN CLUB AROUND 8:30
AND HEADED HOME TO PACK FOR THE CONFERENCE.
THEY ALREADY KNEW HE NEVER FINISHED PACKING,
AND THEY THINK THERE MIGHT BE A WAY
TO ESTABLISH THE NEXT PIECE OF KEITH REED'S TIMELINE.
**
Boland: THERE'S REALLY ONLY A FEW DIRECTIONS IN WHICH
THAT HE WOULD TRAVEL FROM LAKEWOOD TO CLYMER,
AND ONE OF WHICH IS PAST THIS VIDEO
THAT THIS BANK PICKS UP.
Narrator: THE CAMERA RECORDS EVERYTHING
THAT PASSES ON THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BANK,
A BANK THAT'S ON THE ROAD
BETWEEN THE ROD & GUN CLUB AND KEITH'S HOME.
**
INVESTIGATORS ASK THE BANK MANAGER FOR VIDEO,
BUT IT WILL TAKE HOURS TO PULL IT TOGETHER.
IN THE MEANTIME,
BOLAND HEADS BACK TO KEITH'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
DID THE NEIGHBORS SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING
THE NIGHT KEITH WAS GUNNED DOWN?
UM, KEITH -- I CAN ONLY ASSUME YOU'VE HEARD OF THE MURDER...
THEY SAID HE WAS A VERY, VERY NICE MAN
AND THAT HE WAS NEW TO THE AREA AND HE WAS A VERY GOOD NEIGHBOR.
...A GARBAGE CAN OR MAKING A SOUND...
Narrator: AND THEN, A LEAD.
HE WAS TAKING OUT THE GARBAGE...
THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT
OR SATURDAY NIGHT,
BUT KNOW IT WAS AT NIGHT AND THEY HEARD TWO MEN ARGUING.
THEY WERE YELLING AT EACH OTHER.
AND THEY WERE DEFINITELY ARGUING?
Narrator: THE NEIGHBOR HEARD YELLING
AND THEN...
[ GUN COCKS ]
[ GUNSHOTS ]
...GUNSHOTS.
**
FINALLY, THE BANK'S SECURITY VIDEO IS READY.
DETECTIVE BOLAND CUES THE TAPE TO AROUND 8:30,
THE TIME KEITH LEFT THE GUN CLUB.
AND THEN, HE FAST-FORWARDS THE VIDEO.
TEN MINUTES LATER, A WHITE NISSAN MAXIMA.
IT'S KEITH REED'S CAR.
HE WAS EN ROUTE TO HIS HOUSE AT 8:40.
Narrator: IT TIMES PERFECTLY WITH A DRIVE FROM THE LAKEWOOD CLUB.
BUT THERE COULD BE MORE.
IF THE KILLER FOLLOWED KEITH HOME,
HE'S ON TAPE, TOO.
THEY WAIT AND WATCH.
Boland: AND IT DIDN'T DEPICT ANYONE FOLLOWING HIM.
IT WAS THE ONLY CAR THAT PASSED BY OUR SCREEN.
Narrator: THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAN'T HELP THEM I.D. A SUSPECT,
BUT IT DOES GIVE THEM A TIMELINE.
KEITH WAS AT THE CLUB UNTIL 8:30,
THEN DROVE STRAIGHT HOME.
HIS CAR IS SPOTTED AROUND 8:40.
BUT THE TIMELINE ONLY TELLS THEM WHEN, NOT WHO.
**
TO FIND A POSSIBLE SUSPECT,
THEY THINK BACK TO THAT MYSTERIOUS PHONE CALL
KEITH GOT AT DINNER,
THE DINNER WHERE HE COMPLAINED ABOUT HIS LOVE LIFE.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
POLICE HAVE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
THEY ASK FAMILY AND FRIENDS ABOUT KEITH'S PERSONAL LIFE,
AND THAT'S WHEN THEY UNCOVER SOMETHING
THAT COULD SEND THE CASE IN A NEW DIRECTION.
HE WAS DATING A GIRL BY THE NAME KIMBERLY,
AND THEY ACTUALLY GOT ENGAGED.
THEY WERE GONNA GET MARRIED.
HOW 'BOUT WE JUST -- SEE YA LATER.
HOW 'BOUT WE JUST END IT RIGHT NOW?
BYE-BYE. THAT WAS A ROCKY RELATIONSHIP.
HE'D BEEN GOING OUT WITH HER FOR YEARS,
ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN, ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN.
I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND HERE. FINE.
THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE AROUND HERE!
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND YOU!
WHEN THEY WOULD FIGHT, IT WOULD BE THE BASE
KIND OF FIGHTING THAT PEOPLE DO THAT DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER,
SO KEITH DECIDED TO END THAT.
Boland: THERE WAS DEFINITELY A VERY HOSTILE RELATIONSHIP
THAT THEY HAD HAD THAT COULD'VE LED TO THE DEATH OF SOMEBODY.
KIMBERLY WAS VERY MUCH A SUSPECT.
Narrator: POLICE MUST NOW CONSIDER IF KEITH REED WAS GUNNED DOWN
BY HIS ENRAGED EX.
**
TIME STAMP IS 8:30.
Narrator: POLICE HAVE THEIR FIRST SUSPECT IN THE MURDER OF KEITH REED --
HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND, KIMBERLY ROUSH.
THEY BRING HER IN FOR QUESTIONING.
WE JUST NEED YOUR SIGNATURE THERE.
KIMBERLY ADMITS SHE AND KEITH HAD A ROCKY RELATIONSHIP.
SHE TELLS POLICE
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO THE CONFERENCE WITH KEITH.
KEITH ASKED HER TO GO TO SARATOGA SPRINGS WITH HIM
AND THEN NEVER FOLLOWS UP WITH ANOTHER PHONE CALL TO HER.
THUS, SHE LEAVES SEVERAL MESSAGES TO KEITH.
Narrator: BOLAND CAN CHECK SOME OF THOSE MESSAGES
ON KIMBERLY'S PHONE.
Boland: SHE DID SHOW ME SOME TEXT MESSAGES
THAT SHE SENT HIM,
AND THOSE WERE NOT OF GOOD NATURE, EITHER.
**
Narrator: THOSE MESSAGES GET MORE AND MORE AGGRESSIVE.
BUT BOLAND CAN ONLY SEE HER TEXT MESSAGES.
KEITH'S PHONE WILL HAVE HER VOICEMAILS.
THEN, BOLAND TELLS KIMBERLY OF HIS SUSPICIONS.
IT WAS VERY TROUBLESOME TO US THAT HERE SHE IS,
SHE'S SOMEBODY THAT HAD BEEN VERY CLOSE TO KEITH,
AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
SHE'S LEAVING THESE MESSAGES ON HIS PHONE
THAT WERE QUITE RADICAL IN NATURE.
Narrator: WHAT'S WORSE -- KIMBERLY HAS NO ALIBI
FOR THE NIGHT KEITH WAS MURDERED.
**
AND THERE'S ONE LAST DETAIL
THAT RAISES A RED FLAG ON KIMBERLY.
IT WAS TROUBLING TO US THAT THERE WAS A PICTURE
IN THE BEDROOM THAT WAS SMASHED.
MAYBE WHILE, AFTER KILLING KEITH,
DID SHE GO INTO THE HOUSE,
SEE THIS PICTURE OF THEM TWO, AND THEN SMASH IT ON A DRESSER?
I SAID, "I DON'T THINK YOU'RE TELLING ME THE TRUTH,
AND I THINK YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING MORE TO DO WITH THIS."
**
Narrator: JUST ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS SUSPECT --
THE NEIGHBORS SAID THEY HEARD TWO MEN
ARGUING BEFORE THE GUNSHOTS.
Boland: SOMEBODY CARRIED THE BODY.
WE'RE THINKING THAT KIMBERLY
PROBABLY HAD HELP OF SOME NATURE.
SHE WAS SOMEWHAT SEEING ANOTHER GUY,
AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT GUY'S NAME
AND HIS PHOTO.
Narrator: KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND, PAUL DANIELS,
IS NOW A SUSPECT, TOO.
INVESTIGATORS START RUNNING HIS NAME THROUGH DATABASES.
BUT THEY'RE NOT DONE WITH KIMBERLY YET.
THEY COLLECT A DNA SWAB FROM KIMBERLY,
WHEN SUDDENLY, A NEW BREAKTHROUGH...
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
...VITAL INFORMATION
ON KEITH'S CELLPHONE COMES THROUGH.
Boland: WE HAD BEEN PINGING THE CELLPHONE
TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE LAST TIME THAT
THAT PHONE WAS...
WE'RE GETTING A PING FROM HARRISBURG.
Narrator: KEITH'S PHONE IS SOMEWHERE IN HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA...
...41/2 HOURS' DRIVE FROM HOME,
A PLACE KEITH HAS NO KNOWN CONNECTIONS.
EVERYBODY KIND OF LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE, "WHY?"
AND BELIEVED THAT IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A MISTAKE
IN THE LONGITUDE/LATITUDE, THE COORDINATES.
Narrator: THEY TURN BACK TO THEIR PRIME SUSPECT FOR ANSWERS.
WE ASKED, "IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP TO HARRISBURG
AND KEITH REED?"
NOTHING WAS MAKING SENSE OF WHY THIS PHONE WAS IN HARRISBURG,
OF ALL PLACES,
WHEN THERE WAS NO CONNECTION TO HARRISBURG.
Narrator: KIMBERLY CAN'T, OR WON'T, TELL INVESTIGATORS
HOW KEITH'S PHONE ENDED UP FOUR HOURS AWAY.
INVESTIGATORS NOW FOCUS ON FINDING
KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND.
MAYBE HE IS THE HARRISBURG CONNECTION.
HARRISBURG...
FOR KEITH'S DAUGHTERS, CRUSHED WITH GRIEF,
FINDING OUT WHO DID THIS TO THEIR BELOVED FATHER
CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH.
NEW OF KEITH REED'S MURDER RATTLES THIS SMALL TOWN,
ESPECIALLY TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS.
Gerace: AND THE SCHOOL WAS AFRAID, "WAS THIS A RANDOM ACT?
DID THEY TARGET HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A SUPERINTENDENT?
WAS THERE MORE TO COME?"
SHERIFF GERACE SPEAKING.
AND THEN, MY PHONE STARTED RINGING,
AND IT WAS SUPERINTENDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS
WHO I HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH.
AND THEY WERE WORRIED, "IS THIS SOMEBODY
TARGETING SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS?"
Narrator: IF KEITH'S MURDER IS WORK-RELATED
AND NOT CONNECTED TO HIS LOVE LIFE,
THEN POLICE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIS KILLER
IN THE WRONG PLACE.
THEY TURN TO CLYMER CENTRAL SCHOOL,
WHERE KEITH WORKED, SEARCHING FOR FRESH LEADS.
AND THAT'S WHERE THEY FIND ONE WITNESS
THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO POINT THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION --
THE SCHOOL'S SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.
INVESTIGATORS TAKE FOOTAGE AND WORK BACKWARDS,
STARTING WITH THE LAST DAY KEITH WAS LIKELY ALIVE --
FRIDAY.
THEY BEGIN TO SIFT THROUGH IT ALL.
BASICALLY, JUST A LOT OF KIDS PASSING TO AND FROM CLASS
OR IN OR OUTDOORS, NOTHING SPECTACULAR.
IT'S JUST NORMAL, EVERYDAY SCHOOL BUSINESS STUFF.
**
Narrator: BUT THEN, SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY --
A MAN APPROACHES THE ENTRANCE.
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL DAY,
AND HE DOESN'T WORK THERE.
Boland: SO ON THE MAIN ENTRANCE,
THERE'S A CAMERA ON THE OUTSIDE OF IT,
AND IT SHOWS A MALE SUBJECT, NON-CLEAN-SHAVING,
HAVING SUNGLASSES ON.
HE TRIES TO OPEN THE DOORS, BUT THEY'RE LOCKED.
AFTER HE TRIES THE DOORS AND THEY'RE LOCKED,
HE ALMOST LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA WALK AWAY.
Narrator: BUT THEN, HE STOPS AND TURNS AROUND.
Boland: AND THEN, HE PEERS INSIDE THE GLASS DOORS,
AS IF TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY
OR, YOU KNOW, KNOCKING ON THE WINDOW
TO SEE IF HE COULD GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION.
AND AT THAT POINT, THE VIDEO DEPICTS THE DOOR OPENING.
AND HE'S HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY
WITHIN THE SCHOOL THAT'S OPENED UP THE DOOR.
Narrator: BOLAND LINES UP FOOTAGE FROM INSIDE THE BUILDING,
TRACKING THE MAN'S MOVEMENTS.
AT THE END OF THE CORRIDOR, HE SEES HIM TALKING TO SOMEONE.
WE SEE HIM WALKING BACK
INTO THE VIEW OF THAT SAME CAMERA.
Narrator: HE SLOWS THE VIDEO DOWN,
HOPING FOR A CLEAN SHOT OF THE MAN'S FACE.
Boland: AND YOU GET A PRETTY GOOD LOOK AT HIM BECAUSE AT THIS POINT,
HIS SUNGLASSES THAT HE HAD ON PUT UP ONTO HIS FOREHEAD.
AND SO YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT BETTER FACIAL VIEW OF HIM.
Narrator: BOLAND GRABS THE PHOTO OF KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND.
AND WE USED THAT PHOTO TO COMPARE AGAINST
THIS POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND OF KIMBERLY ROUSH'S.
WE WERE ABLE TO SAY, "IT'S NOT THAT PARTICULAR GUY."
Narrator: NOW THEY NEED TO HEAD TO THE SCHOOL TO FIND OUT
IF ANYONE THERE REMEMBERS WHO THIS MAN WAS,
BECAUSE HE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH KEITH REED'S MURDER.
HEY THERE, MISS?
I WONDER IF YOU CAN TAKE A MOMENT...
BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN BEGIN TRACKING HIM DOWN,
INVESTIGATORS GET A LEAD...
**
...FROM ALMOST 300 MILES AWAY, IN HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
Boland: THIS CONSTRUCTION WORKER KEPT HEARING IT RING.
HE SAID THAT THE THING JUST KEPT RINGING AND RINGING AND RINGING.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
**
Narrator: THE WORKER HAS FOUND A PHONE ON A BRIDGE.
WHEN HE ANSWERS, HE HEARS KEITH'S DAUGHTER CAITLIN
ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.
IT APPEARED THE PERSON WAS TRYING
TO THROW IT INTO THE RIVER,
BUT IT HIT THE GROUND AND STILL HAD ENOUGH BATTERY
WHERE IT WOULD ACTUALLY RING.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
Narrator: A PHONE IN HARRISBURG,
A MYSTERY MAN IN THE SCHOOL, AND KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND --
POLICE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
IF ALL THESE ARE SOMEHOW CONNECTED.
**
Narrator: POLICE INVESTIGATING THE MURDER OF KEITH REED
HAVE LOCATED HIS PHONE
41/2 HOURS' DRIVE AWAY IN HARRISBURG.
THEY'VE GOT TWO LEADS -- KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND,
AND NOW THEY FOUND A MYSTERIOUS MAN
ON SCHOOL SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
THEY WANT TO KNOW IF ONE OF THEM HAS A CONNECTION
WITH KEITH'S PHONE.
**
QUICKLY, THEY ESTABLISH
KIMBERLY'S NEW BOYFRIEND HAS AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
HE WAS AT A BASEBALL GAME WITH SOME FRIENDS
THE NIGHT KEITH REED WAS MURDERED.
WITH KIMBERLY'S LAST LINK TO THE CRIME BROKEN,
SHE'S OFF THE HOOK, TOO.
INVESTIGATORS TURN BACK TO THEIR ONLY OTHER LEAD --
THE STRANGER AT THE SCHOOL.
**
BOLAND HEADS TO THE SCHOOL
TO SEE IF ANYONE KNOWS WHO THE MAN IS.
HEY, MISS?
I WONDER IF YOU CAN TAKE A MOMENT HERE.
IF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS MAN...
THE RECEPTIONIST DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE MYSTERY MAN IS,
BUT SHE DOES KNOW WHY HE WAS THERE.
SOMEBODY POPPED IN AND SAID THEY WERE FROM CONNECTICUT
AND THEY WERE MOVING TO THE AREA
AND WERE LOOKING FOR A PART-TIME JOB.
Narrator: WHAT'S MORE, THE MYSTERIOUS JOB APPLICANT
WAS LOOKING FOR ONE PERSON IN PARTICULAR.
KEITH REED.
WHAT DID THIS MEAN?
WHO IS THIS PERSON?
THE FACT THAT HE PERSONALLY WANTED
TO SPEAK WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT,
I MEAN, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT.
Narrator: SUDDENLY, THERE'S A DIRECT LINK
FROM THE MYSTERY MAN TO THE MURDER VICTIM.
ARE YOU 100% CONFIDENT THAT HE REQUESTED KEITH REED?
Boland: THEY KNEW THAT KEITH WASN'T THERE THAT DAY,
BUT THEY SENT HIM DOWN THE HALLWAY
TO KEITH REED'S SECRETARY
TO SET UP A TIME AND DATE AND APPOINTMENT.
Narrator: THE SCHOOL'S CCTV HAD CAPTURED THE MAN
AS HE WALKED DOWN THE CORRIDOR
AND KNOCKED ON KEITH REED'S DOOR.
THERE, HE SPOKE THROUGH THE DOORWAY
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S SECRETARY.
THE INDIVIDUAL HAD TOLD THE SECRETARY
THAT HE WAS FROM OUT OF TOWN AND PASSING THROUGH.
WELL, IF YOU'RE OUT OF TOWN AND PASSING THROUGH,
WHY WOULD YOU WANT AN APPLICATION?
**
Narrator: AS OF NOW, HE'S THE NUMBER-ONE SUSPECT
IN KEITH REED'S MURDER.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS.
THEY PUT THE MYSTERY MAN'S FACE ALL OVER THE NEWS.
Reporter: CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
VISITED THE HOME OF 51-YEAR-OLD KEITH REED JR...
Narrator: THE NEWS COVERAGE GENERATES A FLOOD OF TIPS.
MOST OF THEM ARE WORTHLESS.
BUT ONE GETS THE ATTENTION OF SHERIFF GERACE'S SECRETARY.
**
WE NEED TO HAVE A LOOK AT THOSE VIDEOS,
WE NEED TO FIND CLUES.
AND WE NEED TO GET SOME PICTURES.
Gerace: SHE ENTERED THE ROOM AND SAID,
"SHERIFF, YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE."
**
EXCUSE ME.
SHERIFF GERACE SPEAKING.
Narrator: GERACE HASTILY STARTS RECORDING THE CONVERSATION.
WHEN I STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS,
SHE STARTED OFFERING INFORMATION.
SHE TOLD ME THE TWO MET ON AN ONLINE DATING SERVICE.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
Narrator: AT THE TIME THEY MET, KEITH HAD BROKEN UP WITH KIMBERLY.
MARY WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW.
EVENTUALLY SET UP A LIVE MEETING, YOU KNOW,
WHERE THEY MET IN PERSON, AND THEY HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS.
Narrator: BUT MARY AND HER HUSBAND LATER RECONCILED
AND THE AFFAIR ENDED.
AND NOW THAT KEITH HAS BEEN MURDERED,
SHE FEARS HER OWN HUSBAND, A MAN NAMED ROB TAGLIANETTI,
MIGHT BE THE KILLER.
Gerace: OKAY.
WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MARY TAGLIANETTI AND HER HUSBAND, ROB,
LIVE IN WOODBRIDGE, VIRGINIA.
THE DRIVE FROM THEIR HOMETOWN TO CLYMER, NEW YORK,
WHERE KEITH REED WAS KILLED, IS SIX HOURS.
IMMEDIATELY, WE GRABBED A MAP AND WERE LIKE, "HOLY COW.
COULD THIS BE WHY THE PHONE IS FOUND IN HARRISBURG, P.A.?"
BECAUSE ONE OF THE DIRECT ROUTES
FROM CLYMER, NEW YORK, TO VIRGINIA
IS VIA HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
Narrator: HARRISBURG, WHERE SOMEONE TRIED TO THROW KEITH REED'S CELLPHONE
INTO A RIVER.
THE PICTURE OF A MURDER PLOT STARTS TO COME TOGETHER.
AND AS THE PHOTO OF ROB TAGLIANETTI,
SENT BY HIS WIFE, MARY, COMES IN,
THAT PICTURE BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR.
**
Narrator: POLICE ARE CLOSING IN ON THE PRIME SUSPECT
IN THE KILLING OF KEITH REED -- A MAN NAMED ROB TAGLIANETTI.
MARY TAGLIANETTI,
WHO SAYS SHE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH KEITH REED,
SENDS INVESTIGATORS IN NEW YORK A PICTURE OF HER HUSBAND, ROB.
Gerace: AND I LOOKED AT THAT PICTURE
FROM THE TELEVISION SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
AND WENT, "OH, MY GOODNESS.
THIS IS HIM."
Narrator: INVESTIGATORS LAUNCH A MULTISTATE MANHUNT
AND THEN BRING MARY
IN FOR QUESTIONING ABOUT HER AFFAIR WITH KEITH.
OKAY.
MM-HMM.
OKAY.
HE HAD FOUND AN E-MAIL ON THEIR COMPUTER
THAT WAS SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE, AND HE FLIPPED OUT...
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?
BECAUSE I'M NOT HAPPY WITH YOU!
LEFT THE HOUSE...
I'M GONNA GO FIX THIS.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.

Narrator: IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE KEITH'S MURDER.
MARY SAYS ROB STORMED OFF IN HIS GOLD BUICK CENTURY,
HEADING FOR KEITH'S SCHOOL, 350 MILES AWAY.
THEN, INVESTIGATORS SHOW MARY A PICTURE OF THE MAN
IN THE SCHOOL SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
OKAY.
IT'S ALL FALLING INTO PLACE.
BUT THERE IS ONE MORE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE
THAT COULD HELP PUT TAGLIANETTI AWAY.
IF HE DROVE TO KEITH'S HOUSE,
WAITED FOR HIM, AND THEN GUNNED HIM DOWN,
THEN POLICE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TRACK THIS KILLER
ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
THEY TURN TO THE BANK'S SECURITY TAPES,
THE SAME TAPES THAT SHOWED KEITH REED
DRIVING HOME THE NIGHT HE WAS KILLED.
IF TAGLIANETTI DROVE TO REED'S HOUSE FROM THE SCHOOL,
POLICE WILL SEE A GOLD BUICK CENTURY.
BOLAND SCROLLS THROUGH THE FOOTAGE.
IT'S 11:03 A.M.
AND THERE IT IS -- A GOLD BUICK PASSES THROUGH THE FRAME,
HEADING TOWARDS THE SCHOOL.
THEN, 40 MINUTES LATER, IT PASSES AGAIN,
THIS TIME HEADING TOWARDS KEITH'S HOME.
BUT REED WAS KILLED AT HOME, AT NIGHT, WHILE PACKING,
WHICH MEANS IF THEY SEE THE GOLD BUICK AT NIGHT,
THEY'LL HAVE THEIR MAN.
AND AT 9:36 P.M., THERE IT IS AGAIN,
DRIVING AWAY FROM KEITH REED'S HOUSE.
INVESTIGATORS ARE NOW CERTAIN
THAT ROB TAGLIANETTI STALKED AND MURDERED KEITH REED.
[ SIREN WAILS ]
ON FRIDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER, 2012,
EXACTLY ONE WEEK AFTER KEITH REED'S MURDER,
ROB TAGLIANETTI'S BUICK CENTURY CAR IS SPOTTED AGAIN,
THIS TIME BACK IN VIRGINIA,
NEAR SHENANDOAH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK.
WHILE SEARCHING THE CAR, UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT
OF ROB TAGLIANETTI'S CAR, WAS FOUND A PISTOL.
THE WHOLE BARREL WAS COVERED WITH BLOOD.
AND THIS GUN WAS WRAPPED IN AN E-MAIL
BETWEEN MARY TAGLIANETTI AND KEITH REED
ABOUT THIS PHONE SEX
THAT THEY HAD HAD ON ONE PARTICULAR EVENING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
THAT GUN DIDN'T GO OUT THE WINDOW
WHERE HE TRIED TO THROW THE CELLPHONE INTO THE RIVER,
WHY HE WASN'T THROWING THE GUN OUT, TOO.
MAYBE IT WAS A TROPHY.
WE DON'T KNOW.
ONLY ONE PERSON KNOWS. THAT'S TAGLIANETTI.
Narrator: WHEN THEY TEST THE GUN,
THEY FIND THAT THE BLOOD ON THE BARREL IS KEITH REED'S.
IT'S THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
POLICE ARREST ROBERT TAGLIANETTI FOR THE MURDER OF KEITH REED.
FROM A LAW-ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, IT'S A SLAM DUNK.
**
Narrator: GRIPPED BY A JEALOUS RAGE,
ROB TAGLIANETTI DROVE 350 MILES FROM HIS HOME
TO CONFRONT KEITH ABOUT HIS AFFAIR WITH MARY.
HE TRIED TO FIND KEITH AT THE SCHOOL.
AND THEN, HE DROVE TO HIS HOUSE.
TAGLIANETTI TOOK THE BULBS OUT OF THE PORCH LIGHTS,
HID IN THE DARK, AND WAITED.
WHEN KEITH RETURNED FROM HIS DINNER
AT THE ROD & GUN CLUB, TAGLIANETTI MURDERED HIM.
PAY FOR THIS.
**
Gerace: WITHOUT THAT VIDEOTAPE, WE DON'T CONFIRM TAGLIANETTI.
WE DON'T CONFIRM THAT HE'S HERE.
Narrator: REED'S FAMILY GETS JUSTICE,
BUT THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
AND NOW YOU'VE GOT THREE KIDS WITH THE REALIZATION
THAT THEY'RE NEVER GONNA SEE THEIR DAD AGAIN.
HE'S NOT GONNA WALK THEM DOWN THE AISLE.
HE'S NOT GONNA KNOW HIS GRANDCHILDREN.
HIS GRANDCHILDREN AREN'T GOING TO KNOW HIM.
HE'D HAVE BEEN A GREAT GRANDPA.
Narrator: TAGLIANETTI IS SENTENCED TO 25 YEARS TO LIFE IN PRISON.
Kevin: KEITH'S GONE.
WE CAN'T BRING HIM BACK.
NOTHING WILL BRING KEITH BACK.
TIME GOES ON,
AND DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU, THERE IS NO CLOSURE.
