The Killer Among Them
What issues was he having that he needed these random checks by police of his house?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Wow. I mean, that is the fact that the medical examiner thought it might be a wrench, and then a wrench is missing from his toolkit. You know, law enforcement doesn't believe in coincidences.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Fair to say then that you're narrowing it down to a female, likely, someone who Lance was intimate with.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
You're gonna start going through lady by lady by lady down your list.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
And you want someone to be held accountable for whoever did this to him.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
So chilling when you think that Lance was face-to-face with his killer at that birthday party.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Seeing Kathy while he's married to Janine, do you say anything? Do you have advice for him?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
She was the one he took to public events and parties. Absolutely.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
There was some talk that Lance might be cooling things off with Kathy, that she was maybe no longer going to be his main person.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Kathy Collins did something that got the detective's attention at the crime scene.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
She's his girlfriend, and she doesn't seem overly upset that he's dead?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
There was a bit of a secret woven into Kathy's alibi, something that Lance didn't know about.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Do you remember that very first moment when he walks up to your station?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
You're the last person or one of the last people to see Lance. You were in a relationship with him at one time. You work for him. Right.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
You weren't ready to talk to them right then and there in a surprise visit?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Your attorney calls the police for you, and I'm assuming— We make an appointment to go. They want you to come in, so you go in with the attorney. Yes. Did the police think that was odd that you had an attorney? Yes, they did.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Did it raise a red flag that Talana already had an attorney when the police came to her place to talk to her?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
One of the things that was important to this case were the fingernail clippings from Lance Herndon.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
You like to stir the pot a little bit, huh? No, she was just annoying. You know.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Be careful. Literally. I was like, you better be careful. You didn't realize how important those words would be?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
This timeline doesn't match up with what Talana said about how late Lance had been working.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
So it says Kathy probably wasn't there that night that he was killed.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
And the fact that this person is still out there. Absolutely. That they're maybe free to kill again or, you know.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
If this is true, it is huge. This can change everything for you now with the course of this investigation.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Finally. You thought all along that Dionne was responsible for Lance's murder.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
The police were looking at you. How did that make you feel? A little angry.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
What did you find when you compared Dionne Baugh's DNA to the DNA sample from under Lance's fingernails?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
The chances of this DNA being from someone else, the stats are pretty clear. About one in 100 billion.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
What kind of questions were they asking? And did they tell you exactly what was going on with Lance, what had happened?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
Any thought that this could be a robbery since Lance was a wealthy man and would have items that might be worth stealing?
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
This person has not been caught. And we are Lance's friends, and we're all together celebrating his life. The killer could be among us.
Dateline NBC
The Killer Among Them
He was appointed by President Clinton as a delegate to the White House Conference on Small Business. He was given a National Service Award by President George H.W. Bush. Your dad was a trailblazer. Absolutely. For a lot of people.
