A very wise detective said to me, Billy, it's always three things. Sex, drugs, money. This murder here falls into that category. What's the answer out of the three? Money. 70,000 reasons why Greenblatt was murdered. That's my belief. Matt didn't want to pay that $70,000.

And there was an insurance policy on Gwen. Not a lot. Wasn't a big one. When we found out there was an insurance policy, we got excited. But it was like $10,000, something like that. And he collected on that insurance policy.

Everything that I've just told you is entirely supposition on my part. It's not evidence, it's theory. And theory in three bucks will get you a cup of coffee. You know, you got to be able to prove what you say.

was a husband who was good to her, faithful to her. She wanted to have children. She wanted a family. That's what she wanted. She's a good, good, good person. And that, for me, makes it a personal matter

Matt never once, ever, from the first week in February of 2003 to present day, he's never once contacted any police officer, particularly my colleague, Detective Sam, who's walked up on Mr. Greenblatt on more than one occasion and had conversations with him, but he never once inquired about what happened to Gwen. Not once. Not against the law, but it tells you something about Mr. Greenblatt.

I feel that we as detectives had gone down every rabbit hole we could go down. And, you know, I made the comment on many occasions when Gwen's death would come up, I says, real simple, tell me who owns the cigarette butt on the pull box and we'll solve the case. Just give me a name. And then one day someone comes in and says, I got a name.

I want to show you this right here. All right? That's a color photograph, right? What do you think that is? What's that look like?

It's never happened to me once in my life where a person has said after being advised that scientists have identified you through DNA examination and investigation that your DNA is present. I've never had anyone other than Richard Engel tell me I was wrong. That's the question we always ask when we sit down with someone. Hey, tell me about your family. Got any brothers and sisters? Any twins? No.

Aaron and I have theorized that Mr. Greenblatt and possibly his accomplice waited on that third floor landing and were looking out into the parking lot waiting for Gwen. Matt Greenblatt definitively stated... that Gwen would be home, you could set your watch by it that Gwen would be pulling into the parking lot at a specific time because she had to get to the dock. So think about it.

They have a key to the apartment. Mr. Engle is smoking a cigarette. Matt says, here comes Gwen. Engle, me being a prior smoker, one more hit, subconsciously sets it on the fire pull box. They go in. The murder is committed. They leave. And he forgets the cigarette butt. And there's another cigarette butt on the ground. And Matt stated he never smoked cigarettes at the front of the apartment.
The Deck

He always smoked them in the back and flicked them off the railing into the yard. And guess what we found down there when we looked? All the Marlboro menthol cigarette butts that he had flipped off into the ground.

You don't believe me? Absolutely not. You're lying like a dog. You're lying. You're lying. I'm not a murderer. Dude, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a murderer. Okay, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, now what you've done now is now you have created a scenario. Now you've created the heart. And you know who I am? I'm the lion. And you know who you are? You're the bunny rabbit.

We know that Mr. Greenblatt is a strip club aficionado. He likes strip clubs. He did at the time. He patronized them. Did Ingle patronize strip clubs? I don't know. I don't know.

Shot in the face and shot through the top of her head.

Like Detective Sam stated, there was personal items belonging to her, the most significant being the sweater on the floor, Well, she ran out of her sweater because when the police recovered her sweater, it was turned inside out. So just picture yourself running and I grab you by the back of the sweater and you run out of it and the sleeves turn inside out.

Thinking about the case thousands of times over and over, At the end of the day, she ran the wrong way because she ran into a dead end. I don't fault her for that, but it's a fact. If she had gone the other way, outside the apartment, maybe we would never know her name.

The police officer said when they were bringing Gwen out on the gurney to take her to the hospital, he said, look, the killer left his cigarette butt on the thing. It's still burning. I mean, come on.

Matt never, ever, ever became emotional regarding the death of his wife. He accepted the fact that she'd been shot and killed. He initially cooperated with us 100%. And the communications didn't begin to become acrimonious until...

He sat in this very room that was sitting in right now, and Detective Don Eyman figured out quite rapidly that the several accounts that he gave regarding his whereabouts, first he was getting a pizza, then he was getting a haircut, then he was getting a video, well, take your pick. We never were able to verify and vet his alibis. They just didn't work.

but he never began sobbing or crying hysterically or anything else like that. He accepted the fact that she was dead. I believe he already knew she was dead.

This could only happen to Aaron and I. Hungry Howie's is a national restaurant chain. It's all over the place. The only place they don't keep records?
