Chapter 1: What circumstances led to Angela Pritchard's murder?
My mom was calling the cops almost on a regular basis. Nothing. Nothing was done. And she was terrified.
He's calling her every vile name he can think of.
Sitting outside of her house. Stalking her. She had found something in her Jeep, a tracking device. She had found cameras inside the house.
He has no idea what I go through every single day with him. No idea.
I remember her saying, I don't know what else to do. I don't know where else to turn.
It's been getting worse, and it's been getting worse. I don't want him anywhere near me.
You're describing a life lived in fear. Yeah.
Every time she was out of my sight, I was so scared for her.
I know this is going to be difficult for you. Take me back to October 8th. When did you realize something wasn't right?

Chapter 2: What events transpired on the day of Angela Pritchard's death?
Henningsen believes Chris Pritchard entered the kennels and lay in wait for nearly four hours.
The first video that they really got was Angela coming down to work in the morning. And right up here, you're going to see Angela start to pull down to the entrance at the Mississippi Ridge boarding kennels. pulling up to the kennel at 7.34. You can see her get out of her vehicle and she's gathering her belongings and then walking into the kennel itself.
Angela Pritchard had less than six minutes to live.
At 7.39 and 43 seconds, we heard a gunshot go off in the video.
At any point, do you clearly see Chris on any of the surveillance cameras? Yes, we believe we see him leaving.
About two minutes after the gunshot, at 7.41, the man they now suspected to be her killer, Chris Pritchard, appeared.
Actually walking from the kennel area down to the fence area here behind me. That makes us believe that this is the first area that we need to check.
Outside the kennels, miles of thick woods stretch to the horizon, an area the northeastern Iowa locals call the wilderness. It was rugged terrain. Chris Pritchard knew well, says Wendy.
He knows the outdoors. I knew that he could probably survive out there for quite a while in hiding.

Chapter 3: How did the investigation into Angela's murder unfold?
Clear in here, Jim. Prosecutors later viewed home surveillance footage from a camera on the Blazers' property, showing Chris Pritchard entering the barn, where the Blazers kept their horse trailer.
The minute we came in the door, I knew that Chris Pritchard had spent some time in here. He certainly made himself at home here.
Pritchard left the horse trailer in the middle of the night, hiking through the dense woods to the kennels, says Prosecutor Leonard.
We believe his next appearance is around 4 a.m. on October 8th at the dog kennels in which the dogs start to go crazy.
And you believe from that point forward, he's inside the kennel?
Correct.
I think he always had the plan to murder her.
To prove it, the prosecutors played audio clips from Pritchard's police interviews for the jury.
You show up at a place where you know she's going to be You've got a gun with her. You know you've got a no contact order. An argument breaks out. She calls 911. She winds up dead. This wasn't just some accident.
