Talking Dateline: Return to the Lake
It was very emotional. And I can remember seeing our agents and other law enforcement personnel as well, but specifically some of our agents, that were standing in the back hallway at a courthouse and were just sobbing. And they were agents that had been to the scene when the car was pulled out of the water. And I know that there were some that said, you know, I wish I had not been there.

Talking Dateline: Return to the Lake
I mean, I saw emotions from agents that had been working homicide cases for years and years that, you know, you never saw emotion out of. You know, tough, tough guys. But you saw a lot of emotion that day.

Mike told me that the patterns of harassment had increased and that he feared for he and Karen's lives.

Deadly Obsession
What was bizarre for me was I was getting a drink of water when she came to cross-examine me. And I hear this. And she's trying to put on this persona that we're old friends.

Deadly Obsession
Yeah, he really loved her. And she's a very interesting person, beautiful, athletic, outgoing, had lots of friends.

The week before the murder, I talked to Mike, and he was asking me where's a good place to go on a honeymoon in the Caribbean. I said, you know, St. Thomas is great. Lots of really good places to go, and he was real happy about it.

Return to the Lake
You can get as low as you want to get. We were generally flying, you know, 300 foot above ground, up to 1,000. Were there moments where you did spot something, where you did see something? No, I mean, we spotted cars that, you know, were the same color and, you know, that were similar, but not what we were looking for.

Return to the Lake
There was a lot of Suspicion, I would say, as to what happened, especially after days that we had searched and looked. Chief Keel, who'd been searching for clues by helicopter, says too much of it didn't make sense. Carjackings take place often, but generally you end up finding the vehicle. So as days went by and we didn't find anything, the suspicion continued to grow.

And we were up flying the next morning and looking for that, searching for that vehicle.

Where are you looking? We started from where she was carjacked, and we were flying every route that you can imagine.
