focus on conducting tests to determine whether it's human blood or in animals dread consumes the investigators as their worst fears materialize before their eyes the reports confirm the chilling presence of human blood despite their Relentless Pursuit they're not able to locate anyone on the trail leaving them puzzled by the unknown finally after hours of an extensive search they stumble upon a haunting sight on the other side of the river a lifeless body of a young girl drifting silently a shocking Testament to the unfolding tragedy oh yeah it's confirmed female uh red shirt blue jeans uh

got up in there it's obvious the young girl's body had remained submerged in the water for hours her face is swollen bearing signs of severe trauma with multiple fractures a prominent injury on her forehead had left her face disfigured and unrecognizable an autopsy would later confirm that the cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries to the child's head notably she wore a shoe that matched the one that was discovered by the jogger who'd placed the 9-1-1 call in efforts to identify the victim the police arranged for a press conference and share crucial information about

the discovery in the hopes that someone would step forward with valuable information to Aid their investigation a mile away Veronica kaspersack switches on the television to watch the news as she listens to the announcement her blood runs cold with a chilling realization could this be her daughter Annie fifteen-year-old Annie lives with her mother Veronica kaspersack and stepfather James bratcher on Saturday night Veronica and James return home from their dinner date and Annie excitedly greets them at the front dorm everything seems ordinary as Veronica heads to her room for a shower while James hangs out in

the kitchen at 7 45 he notices Annie leaving the kitchen and heading towards a room however at 8 40 while on a phone call with her sister Veronica realizes that she hasn't seen or spoken with Annie since they arrived home she decides to check Annie's bedroom only to find it empty alarmed she calls out to her husband who rushes upstairs with a note that he found in the other room the note declared Annie's shocking Revelation that she has left for California confessing that she'd lied to her friends about being pregnant which she had indicated with

a p in the letter and she said that she could no longer bear the weight of the lime with their hearts racing Veronica and James immediately called the authorities to report Annie is a runaway soon after Veronica reaches out to Christopher Bagshaw and his boyfriend Desperately Seeking any information while Christopher maintains that he was unaware of Annie's plans he did know more than he was letting on after a restless night with little sleep as Veronica switched on the news the next morning and witnessed the unfolding announcement it dawned on her that Annie might not have

made it to California after all the uncertainty gripped her tightly sending shivers down her spine Veronica contacts the helpline and informs the police about her runaway daughter she provides them with every piece of information as they carefully document each detail just when it seems like the conversation is about to end the police ask a crucial question did Annie wear braces the weight of this question hangs in the air and Veronica sobs on the other end of the line as she whimpers yes when DNA match results arrive the police are able to fully confirm the heartbreaking

truth the victim found on the trail is indeed fifteen-year-old Annie kaspersack with the police officially confirming Annie's untimely death her decision to run away becomes a pivotal element for their ongoing investigation as it could shed light on the circumstances surrounding her tragic fate recognizing the significance of understanding Annie's motivations they pay a visit to her grieving family and uncover her harrowing past as it turns out Annie's early life was marred by the harsh reality of growing up in a reportedly unhealthy household as a result she endured a fragmented upbringing moving between foster homes and Child

Services centers however Veronica kaspersack an aspiring employee at child services became Annie's dedicated case manager over time a deep connection formed between them leading Veronica and her then-husband Dennis Casper's act to adopt Annie as their own despite the challenges that arose from Veronica and Dennis's subsequent divorce and he found solace in the love and care of her parents and their new partners after noting the teenager's family history and background the investigators meticulously gather various items connected to Annie such as the note she left for her parents computers and mobile phones and a tote brimming with

papers including her journals while examining Annie's journals the investigators uncovered something peculiar her profound obsession with her boyfriend Christopher Bagshaw curious to know more about Chris and Annie's relationship investigators decide to chat with Annie's classmates upon being questioned about her boyfriend they consistently mentioned Christopher bagshaw's name and disclose a circulating rumor about Annie being pregnant with his child the same pregnancy that Annie mentioned in her note and his parents informed the authorities that they were aware of Annie's relationship with Chris and had taken measures by encouraging her to use a birth control pill moreover the

autopsy report also confirmed that Annie was not pregnant but why was Annie spreading such rumors at school Veronica kaspersack shares with the investigators that she believed Annie's false story about her pregnancy reflected her desire to build a permanent family she could call her own a thought that was reflected in some of her journal entries it seems that Chris Bagshaw may be able to share more information and since he was so close to her they initiate their line of questioning with him hoping that he can shed some light on what may have really LED Annie to

run away after acquiring a search warrant Law Enforcement Officers visit his home since he's a minor Chris's father Darwin Leroy Bagshaw attends the interrogation with him in the state of Utah if a child is subject to a custodial interrogation for an offense the child may not be interrogated unless they've been advised of their constitutional rights and their right to have a parent guardian or friendly adult present during the interrogation the child has waived their constitutional rights the child's parent guardian or friendly adult was present during the child's waiver and is given permission for the child

Chris openly discusses his relationship with Annie and readily shares his whereabouts on the night she ran away the following footage has been analyzed by a qualified team including a licensed professional counselor and a licensed attorney tell me the last time that you signed on Wednesday and Thursday of last week do you remember what time I don't I didn't know that it was after school and she had to go home around six okay uh when's the last time you spoke with her about the night do you remember what time that was oh I'm not around okay

how many times did you talk to her that night um I talked to her twice I should call you four times how long do you think your conversation for with her forever six minutes yeah H what did you guys talk about um she asked me to run over there and I'll try to answer that thousands of stupid ideas and to think about a family tell me about what kind of rumors were out there about you and Annie um the Romans said that I got her printed but I didn't when did you find out or when

did she start telling you that what that she was pregnant with your baby she didn't start telling me she started telling everybody else around a month after um she had it to the subject and he had written about LJ and some of her journal entries though this is the first time LJ is mentioned in the questioning he will play a crucial role in the investigation when did she tell you that she was pregnant not a month after when do you think that was about what month um well she had with LJ no founder talk more

about how you know about her she told me that she didn't want her family to find out that she had how Jason he came to her house Chris appears really tense here barely moving and gripping onto the arms of his chair he's leaning back and away from the detective while it could be that he's just distraught about the death of his girlfriend he appears disengaged and has a quite flat affect while everyone responds to death differently and this could be shock the detective is likely concerned about him appearing detached how many times did you have

with any ones when was the third night that we don't know and what was about what month or day it was Wednesday or Thursday of last week Wednesday or Thursday of last week yes after answering all the questions Christopher volunteers more information to the police about an incident at Spencer's home um also um like when Spencer started dozing off she had got a bloody nose and it dripped on with you and then she ran into the bathroom everything it's certainly odd that Chris is so concerned about explaining a few drops of blood on his shoe

though he might be aware of how this could look and therefore wants to make sure the police know there is an innocent explanation for it this story is reminiscent of a guilty person making a 9-1-1 call not so they can get help but so they can get their Alibi set up I don't understand that what do we have acceptable you know um flipping the door this is bad an alarm clock here this is the closet and Spencer was here and he was kind of dozing off moving this way how was your hair and Emmys right

here yes okay um you mentioned that her knows directly to have to happen I don't know about just we're sitting right here like it was like random I said do you have a little something here sure my nose and she said oh crap so which side would would follow this one it would have fallen on your left foot yes okay you would have just done one draw and she got a bloody nose taken care of yeah um did you notice that you bleed his throne across the floor um I'm not sure so it was nothing

no she's just like grabbed it so they wouldn't trip anymore after taking notes on the incident they returned to the topic of Chris's last conversation with Annie in order to get additional details what else did you guys talk about besides running away on Saturday um I just tried to convince him to think about it twice and think it over and if there's something wrong with that families and to think about everything good and I tried to convince her that it wasn't a good idea and that she shouldn't do it think about her friends as well

okay and what did you do after eight o'clock um well Saturday night [Music] probably about six or seven oh the lady Dog Swim and so did you leave right when your dad left no I had stayed home and I played the video game for a little while for how long do you think um an hour an hour and a half did it was anybody else there with you yeah it was just me anybody call you while you were there do you remember no um and then afterwards I went to my grandma's house which is only

three doors down I called you last night oh you did because I told you I was going to have company yeah what time did you call him you think oh oh man it was like eight or seven yeah seven forty five to eight I'm not real positive on the exact time that I I called him and so when he called you did you go right over your grandma's no I stayed home for a little bit and I played the video again because that was like in the hour and a half we're talking about just last

Saturday right yeah okay no I left the house at six o'clock last Saturday I left with a buddy and even Kevin the police consider this line of questioning crucial as they try to determine if they can confirm Chris's location during the possible time of Annie's murder and then did you go right here and you stayed home for another hour probably passing like for another 15 minutes to keep my stuff ready and I went to McDonald's well I didn't stay on the ground to bed when I stayed I went there put my stuff there and I

asked her if I can go see if a friend hang out because I didn't really want to stay there she's kind of wrong you know okay but but I went to my friends I knocked on this door he didn't answer so I went straight back did you ever leave the house again no does he stayed there all night yes and I I got home at about 11 30 and I went by my mom's house and he was crashed out on the chair and then talked to her for a minute so and I told him that

I was probably gonna have company come over which they ended up not coming over so I just went ahead and went to bed and then he was home right during the next morning sir did you talk to anybody on the phone after you got back to your Grandma's all right how far would you say your friend's house is from newer stuff it's around a 25 minute walk down so so like a mile or two miles or 15 miles or just like a mile or yeah somewhere around my sorry you're staying about 25 minutes one way

in 25 minutes yeah despise the corroboration of Chris's whereabouts on the night of the incident by his father Darwin Leroy Bagshaw and his grandmother Wilma Fern bakla the police focused their attention on two crucial details provided by Chris that demand verification the first concerns Annie's nosebleed which supposedly occurred at Spencer's house resulting in her blood inadvertently staining Chris's shoe the second piece of information relates to Annie's alleged relationship with another boyfriend named LJ the police take the necessary steps to acquire a search warrant for the home of Spencer criddle to uncover the truth as a

close friend of Chris and Annie Spencer can give some insight into both of these questions he soon becomes a person of interest in the investigation and is subsequently brought in for questioning the investigators waste no time and immediately inquire about the night and he left on that day Saturday um you had talked about Annie coming here I mean Annie's talking calling you and you weren't here um tell me about that what were you doing with your little brother my old and how long were you guys at the at the gym for two hours two hours

yeah that's a long time he's like we used to find let's go in there for two hours like a chance are you serious she's like yeah man we're not Marines okay and then uh so then what time did you get back to the house around 8 30. and then is that when you checked your messages yeah I went upstairs in about like 10 minutes 20 minutes later and and there's like text messages and calling messages and everything no text messages from Annie just like two missed calls I think about even one voice message okay and

then um do you do you have your cell phone is that the way I got the messages yeah do you have it with you here yeah do you mind if we take a look at it the thing is though I don't know number tried calling me there's the call logs unknown number and let's try finding some way to get that voice message back for anything an attorney will almost always advise you not to willingly hand over your phone or other devices unless the police have a warrant after the gym on Saturday night then what to

do came home my dad was like you guys hungry and I was like yeah sure is I want to make a pot pie I was like I guess after I had pot pie well that's actually before when my dad's making I check my messages after chance literally drained out my energy at the thing I like fell asleep for a second on his bed I had to like get up for the dinner and after that went up and got on the PS3 and just started watching Netflix and playing games I kept the phone right there just

waiting for him as we call I'm just like come on wait the next day nothing all right cooperation with the police yield significant Revelations he substantiates Chris's statement by confirming that Annie did bleed from her nose when they were at his place and share some intriguing information about LJ there was some confusion about whether you actually physically talked on the phone or had a chat with um LJ did you ever have a chat with OJ yeah he just messaged me on his email okay that's all okay and so it was over email yeah okay somehow

she hacked in he hacked into it okay so it was Annie's email and then but it was from LJ yes so how did you know it was LJ because Annie the next day well he told me about anything this is LJ or yeah I was like LJ why are you on you know and he's like oh I hacked into it I was like oh well that's perfect but you never had a physical like a conversation with them about that no okay that was how long ago um it was back in like I think either late

November early December it was one of those I can't remember is it out of the ordinary for you to get five known calls so you get them all the time you know oh well sorry I thought you said do you usually get unknown calls no I don't so that's uncommon yeah that's uncommon unless it's one of my friends that are playing a prank on me but they haven't done that in a long time so I don't know who because that could have been because I can't call back it'll be like no number and I'm like

do you know does your band ever um like check your your does he have an account on T-Mobile online for phone bills and check like that phone records yeah you actually tried searching up my phone record and he couldn't like I think he couldn't like I think he found it at all I asked him is there any way we can get the voice message please and he's like no it's not or the text email where he talked to LJ whatever the hell to that um well since I was months ago my phone just broke up

and it's in like the memory and it goes berserk I can't like start taking pictures or anything it says memory so I had to clear it out I always do that too much column messages it just clears out apart from confirming LJ's involvement with Annie Spencer informs the police that all of their circle of friends had tried to warn her to stay away from LJ given us threats as they believed he was a member of some gang Chris's statement highlighted a similar pattern all right Chris one of the things that was coming up and everything

is that in talking with LJ when you talked with LJ did you actually physically talk to him on the phone or was it like through a message or how did you talk to him um I talked to him once okay actually on the phone okay and what did he say in that conversation um that we were straight like we're cool and he wasn't coming anymore for me but he did say that he was coming for somebody else and then he on the okay and when you talk to him on the phone did he speak with

an accent or do you notice anything distinctive about his voice just normal okay just a normal voice and what's our phone number for that no it was really tried or restricted it said restricted on it the pivotal information shared by both boys thrust the police investigation forward firmly casting LJ is the prime suspect in Annie's gruesome murder unfortunately neither Spencer Chris nor any of Annie's other friends had ever seen LJ which limits their ability to provide a physical description however the investigators have deep connections and immediately mobilize their informant networks and surveillance circuits to search

for a 17 year old individual with potential gang ties and relations with anyone at any school after a grueling week of Relentless Pursuits and exhaustive investigations the investigators find themselves empty-handed just as the mounting pressure takes its toll on the team one of the investigators receives a crucial phone call providing them with their long-awaited breakthrough in the seemingly impossible search the caller is Joanna Franklin an individual frequently involved in alleged credit card thefts she declares that she had actually witnessed Annie's murder and hopes to exchange the information for eliminating all charges against her illegal activities

the following never-before-seen footage of Joanna Franklin's interview reveals her shocking claims of a crime she drops a bombshell at the very beginning by revealing that she knows the elusive LJ quite well moreover she introduces a new suspect to the investigations listed like five minutes and I came back out and we could hear him had a bathroom who um LJ and a girl and I go are you serious and he goes what I go and he goes you're not doing it and I'm like I'm not okay with that I started like freaking out and it came

out she's like you can't do that like she was upset and then they came out and they're like sorry and she was like and I was like you guys need to go and that's when said hey how about my turn she goes what and she started laughing at me grab her face I would say 99 of people we've talked to never do that over and I'm sure she left it in front of everybody it wasn't anyone wants to she laughed in front of everybody and started laughing and I started laughing they're laughing that's what it

was every time I read the papers she said no no because she laughed at him I do you have cake all right you guys did yes anybody if you do over that in this video yeah falls into the wall and I was like if I went running on the side um and you have a stay at it just stay out of it I'm like you can't be okay with that and she's like let's just go to the bedroom like she was shaking I was shaking um and that was the night there was there was she

her yeah yeah she's bleeding for more um from her her ears and her nose and her mouth and then he kicked her when she was on the ground and he had him like tie her up and throw in the back of the car and they didn't they wouldn't come in like what is that girl's name how'd you know her how did I know her how did you how do you know that it's our victim how do you know that it's this girl I saw the pictures are all right on the news it was a couple

days like I was told that like two different stories like oh we took her home we dropped her off she's fine and then like once they started getting high then the story changed and that's when we're like Joanna is incredibly animated you can see your eyebrows moving a lot as she talks which indicates that she's seeking approval from the officers while also making very intense eye contact as she talks Her speech sounds pressured meaning she's talking without many pauses this may be because she really wants to get her story out but it's often associated with

substance use and a variety of mental illnesses it's also noteworthy that she says LJ and that girl she doesn't say Annie's name yet she's naming everyone else when the officer starts asking questions she seems to get a bit more anxious and is rubbing her head and ears she also rubs her nose rather awkwardly for all of her animation her emotion doesn't seem to fit she doesn't seem scared or worried and I go what did you guys do you go don't worry about something that's fine and so that's when I kind of like started trying to

pay attention she was kind of they walked that way I came out and that's when he said how about my current and she's laughing like no and you grab her and just wander around into the wall like okay where I was sitting today there was nothing behind me that wasn't there before he went she went right into that wall and blow up everywhere all of us like I remember like it would be hard um because pictures of boys got broken how to get new friends form um and we kind of screwed him back and the

table kind of scuffed across the floor I don't know if I discussed on there and remember being like I don't know what happened it doesn't happen because I'll worry about it because I missed and we all kind of sat there for a minute finished being pissed like and he passed it up and he was dude yeah what are you doing he was I don't know because laugh at me stupid and they kicked her I'm like what are you doing and he goes you will start and now she came in he goes what the happened and

he goes you laugh at me he goes she laughed at you and he goes yeah she goes she loves you and she goes I don't know she left me and I think it's kind of scared to a minute I'm sorry and I go are you serious and I stood up Andy I'm like I think I was really concerned about that yeah and I go I need to go check on her no you need to go get me some towels and a talk about the storage and shut your mouth should we look at that I went

and got that stuff and I walked back in there it was just pale white not moving I was like what's wrong she goes I think she's dead like what I got an extra one I can't believe she's good like that I was like she's okay she's okay I kind of moved her chin a little bit and like her Jaws live like way it should decide and I was like whatever um and then I came out and he goes so what's the damage stock and I go she needs to go to hospital he goes can't do

that he goes we can't do that and I was like what are you gonna do you're like um on his song see me in the other room he's quiet and they started shouting he's like call them and tell them to get back over here over here and bring me some change of clothes an LJ just sat on the couch he just sat there was right on the tarp and they had him pull up she was in the bathroom I moved her from outside by the table to the bathroom to change her clothes I wasn't looking

like getting her undressed I don't know why like are you still home I don't know if I'd be he's like okay I need to know how to get some things cleaned up and I'm like hell I can't do this and he goes yes you can you'll be fine he's like okay well I'm like no you won't I can't do this I'm not like this because this is exactly what you're like he's like can you help me with what I need I'm like he's like over to Walmart or wherever you need to go get some bleeds

and I have bleach because you have enough of it yeah and so I went back and obviously I came out with that can I do and he had me pour it all over the wall all the wall and you can't scrub it scrub and scrub it and then he had me um do the baseboards and then we all over the floor and they went and vet in the bathroom he's like they saw something on it I don't yeah okay that's your account tickets all together and we end up throwing in the dumpster and that was

on Sunday morning you said you redressed her right you redressed her where'd that clothing come from there there was a red or a black top and some pants and some shoes Joanna's description of the clothes was strikingly similar to what Annie was wearing the day the investigators had discovered her body she further informs the investigating team that the person she claims was involved and LJ took the girl's body in a suburban and went to the Canyons on their return they declared that the girl went swimming and won't come back with Joanna's interview the investigating team

finally fined their first witness who can describe LJ's physical looks she shares that he's shorter than her he's hispanic but looks wide and he's 19 years old her information proves to be a comprehensive breakthrough taking all the necessary boxes and providing answers to the key inquiries the police had been tirelessly pursuing with her eyewitness account of LJ's presence they now had irrefutable confirmation of his involvement in Annie's murder moreover the other man she was accusing and claimed to be involved John was a convicted felon a self-admitted substance dealer and a gang member John's a lengthy

rap sheet further indicated his potential role in committing the Dreadful crime the investigators waste no time obtaining a search warrant for John's residence and promptly conduct a raid as anticipated his house exhibited clear signs of attempting to conceal a grievous offense the walls were freshly painted the carpet in the hallway was removed and the entire Place appeared to be undergoing remodeling the absence of the carpet and red stains on the doors raised significant suspicion indicating a potential cover-up the visuals corroborated Joanna's statement the police promptly arrest John to interrogate him as Annie's family grapples with

the confusing reality of her involvement with possible addicts and gangs John goes through intensive questioning with the police oh I got your picture how do you know her Brittany is her name Brittany no it's Annie so you might know where's Brittany okay tell me about Brittany Brittany she's um friends with um did you still haven't heard friends with who just tell me straight up man I want to know what you have to say first oh and I'll think of everything you need to know man because she's hella cool dude that's Brittany um I'm pretty sure

that's Brittany she she lives with Sal but she stays with style she's a Mercedes friend Mercedes friend yeah and um Peterson haven't heard sure I've been to your house yeah she just came to my house the other day just something down there on a scale of zero being not at all and 100 positive that you know her is Brittany wear you out on that hey dude pretty sure that's Brittany eight out of ten eight out of ten um yeah are you saying 80 out of 100. it's either way it's the same thing I'm pretty sure

that's her can be 100 positive if you're eight out of ten that it's her her phone number just texted me today I'll answer your questions in a minute I mean I'll answer questions in a minute but you got a text from her and a call from her today or phone yeah so when's the last time you saw her um that uh that day that Saturday no uh just like the day before I left she came by my house so when was that and uh she went to she's been staying at Sal's House downtown who's South

is doing him so and um her boyfriend's supposedly LJ I don't even know LJ or jail you may know her her really Danny okay who you didn't see her the other day oh dude is tell me about this girl being at your house no I think she's a bread dude I was at my house last Saturday there's no young girls at my house man no no ever as far as I know if they're young do I send them the out of there what if she looked older well I thought she said man I did I

do something am I supposedly did something to this person I have a concern that's why we want to talk to you I don't know I'm telling you right now I didn't and if you feel like I have then I need a lawyer then because obviously what I'm saying to you you're telling me that I'm not being honest with you whatever do you need a lawyer or not or should I continue continue but I'm just telling you I don't know I think that's Brit but if you say you said my name is yeah I mean if

you guys are we talking or not if you guys think I did something to her then hell yeah I want a lawyer okay so I did not do nothing to nobody she's dead I didn't do it what though exactly are we here to talk or deal with one lawyer because you said the word lawyer twice I need to know well didn't you talk man but don't act like I know who this girl is for it dude it looks just like bread okay and she did what though I can't even go for a swim it can't

be very dude because she just was at my house she spent that for a week and she was never at my house I had never seen this girl before then spend that for a week did you tell anybody she went first one who that girl no if somebody said I said that they're Liars man ask her this did your wife get pissed here it was probably just over a week ago about some guy and girl house in your bed you guys don't have a damn house no nobody had my bed though okay but do you

know about your wife getting pissed at you over one of your friends and some girl haven't in your bed she'd get mad at me over that she didn't no really hey nobody had in my bed but me and my wife despite John's adamant denial of having any involvement in Annie's murder or even any association with her his prior criminal record provided enough justification for the police to keep him in custody as they gathered further evidence to support his potential involvement in the case yet when the DNA match reports and phone records arrive the case takes

an appalling turn that no one imagined none of the blood samples found on the doors and walls of John's house match Annie's DNA it was obvious that a crime occurred at John's residence but there's no evidence indicating Annie's presence whatsoever moreover John's phone records from that night don't Place him even close to the area of Annie's death this Revelation leaves the investigators utterly bewildered and shocked prompting them to reconsider their approach and conduct another interview with Joanna and a Twist Beyond Comprehension Joanna breaks down under intense questioning and reveals her secret it turns out that

John hadn't been lying in interrogation he actually didn't know any at all however John had betrayed Joanna by cutting her out of a deal in a calculated Act of Vengeance she meticulously gathered information on Annie's case from the news reports and constructed a story that pinned the blame on John she confesses to orchestrating this elaborate plan do exact revenge and secure immunity for her crimes it appeared John's Alibi from the night of Annie's murder was actually another crime he was involved in John and his ally ended up pleading guilty to kidnapping charges from that night

with the investigation into Annie's death derailed by a year because of the misleading information the investigators are left with no choice but to retrace their steps and meticulously sift through their vast collection of past interrogations and searches they conducted before Joanna's pivotal call immersed in this intensive review they stumble upon three tip calls that instantly pique their curiosity the first tip was from someone who had been driving home the night Annie was killed and saw a male on a bike leaning over the South Side barrier and looking into the river he was leaning so far

over that she thought he would fall in another tip came from someone else who had said that he saw at 2 30 PM that day by the Rotary Park a young male was saying won't get caught won't get caught waving his arms around he was short with dark hair almost through his ears a full head of hair and was wearing a gray shirt and blue shorts and then there had been a third tip from Christopher Bagshaw and his boyfriend because he had been receiving threats from LJ all three tip calls pointed towards a teenager being

involved in Annie's murder although this once again reaffirmed that LJ appeared to be a strong suspect the police still didn't have a physical description and had yet to find him determined to uncover crucial details investigators focus on Annie's phone records to get evidence of her phone conversations and retrieve LJ's profile the investigator's hunch proves correct when a disturbing pattern emerges as they discover that Annie received multiple calls from a blocked number on the night of her murder the individual behind this blocked number spoke with Annie until the Fatal hour leading up to her death it

was believed that this mysterious color could possibly be LJ drawing upon Chris and Spencer's testimonies regarding LJ's threats towards them the investigators promptly contact the telephone Department to establish a connection between LJ and the blocked number found in Annie's phone records they request the extraction of call data from Chris and Spencer's phones to note if they ever received or answered calls from the same suspicious number if the numbers match it could provide crucial evidence to solidify their suspicions in the case but when the data arrives the brutal and disturbing details rattled the entire investigating team

it becomes evident that every person involved has been withholding crucial information and telling lies the police now had to once again reach out to each individual they had interviewed two years ago the detectives began their renewed round of interviews by arranging a meeting with Spencer criddle and providing him with a search warrant report for his house the report revealed the absence of any blood evidence within his house despite his statement that he witnessed Annie's nosebleed while at home under intensified questioning Spencer eventually admits that he never personally witnessed the incident but believes it happened because

Chris talked to him about it the detectives then meet with Wilma Fern Buckley Chris's grandmother who becomes a key figure in the investigation according to Chris and his family's account he had supposedly spent the entire night of Annie's murder at his grandmother's home starting from 7 45 PM however the call records present A peculiar inconsistency they showed Wilma had called Chris multiple times even well past midnight however she's uncooperative during the interrogation process and insists that Chris had returned to her house approximately one to one and a half hours after leaving to meet his friend

she continues to pair it similar series of events that happened that night as Chris had told them she recalls making only one phone call to him that night and has no recollection of any additional calls or the approximate timings however it would soon be uncovered that she was clearly withholding crucial information additionally Darwin Leroy Bagshaw Chris's father had stated that he had seen his son dozing off on the couch at his mother's home around 11 30 P.M however the reliability of this claim is called into question by call records which indicate that Chris had called

his grandmother Wilma baklay at 12 47 am that night why would she call Chris if he was sleeping in her living room it seemed Chris and his family were hiding something out of fear given that he'd been threatened in the past police considered that perhaps LJ had threatened him again as the investigators weighed on the details about the owner of the blocked number they also asked the telephone departments to trace the precise locations of all the individuals involved the resulting data from this search unveils a stunning Revelation that turns the entire investigation on its head

as it turned out Chris is the owner of the block number and had a different phone to use it but if this was the case and Chris had made those calls where is LJ had they planned this elaborate lie together Chris was the only one who could answer their questions investigators find out that he moved to Colorado for his sophomore year and swiftly leave for the state to interrogate him overwhelmed and apprehensive Chris succumbs to the intense questioning and reveals shocking details that seem far too sinister for someone his age Chris informs them that there

is no LJ as he narrates his tale of lies and deception he confesses to the detectives that he discovered that Annie had created a fictional person named LJ to make him jealous he had used the same name in any story to divert their investigation Spencer had been protecting him as a friend unaware that Chrissa committed the heinous crime that took Annie away forever he had messaged Spencer saying the cops might come back to your house I need you to tell them Annie got a bloody nose another said they took my shoes for my testing and

I need you to tell them that so I don't get blamed I just want you to know I'm not telling you to lie to the cops I just know you were kind of dozing off that night Chris's admission of guilt put several missing pieces together during their search the police found that Chris's bike was similar to what the tip call witness had seen further investigation revealed that the other witness who had seen a teenager chanting over the bridge was the same day that Chris had actually skipped school police also found a note in the trash

can of his home in which Chris had listed out a detailed timeline of Annie's disappearance and what she was wearing that night there could only be one reason Chris would know of such details he had been the one to kill her comments Chris posted on Facebook after Annie's death were viewed from a completely different perspective after the disturbing revelation it turns out that the purpose of the posts wasn't to honor a beloved friend but rather an effort to deflect any potential suspicion away from himself the comments read as follows everyone wear red tomorrow it was

her favorite color and let's show how much we really care and the world is filled with hate and no one understands the pain of losing someone they care about until it's too late and they're already gone it's sad what had happened to Annie and I don't know why anyone would do this to someone like her she was awesome and we all loved her very much even though we had times where we'd disliked each other we always made up and reevaluated our friendship she was the best but what gave him away was Veronica Annie's mother's phone

call on the night Annie went missing she'd called to ask if he knew anything Chris had answered the call minutes after he'd taken her daughter's life the location on Chris's cell phone on that call put him next to Annie near that bridge while Annie's family had endured two long years of suffering Chris had moved on and continued his life in Colorado as though nothing had occurred the police arrest him on charges of first-degree murder and obstruction of justice but why had he killed Annie that sickening detail wouldn't be revealed until later as Chris Bagshaw was

14 at the time of the crime the state of Utah was likely to place him in a juvenile facility allowing his release at 21 given that he was 17 at the time of his arrest it would result in him serving a mere three years in prison for the heinous offense while investigators diligently sought evidence to support trying Chris as an adult in court a pivotal moment arose when they received a call from the juvenile detention center the caller and inmate steps forward to provide information about Chris Bagshaw significantly bolstering the prosecution's case this particular inmate

had developed a friendship with Chris who in his overconfidence revealed the chilling details of Annie's murder back in school Chris had found out that Annie had been telling people she was pregnant with his baby and he believed the claim even though this wasn't true she asked him to run away with her so he suggested they meet by the bridge and he snuck out that night to meet him near the Jordan River however Chris had planned something terrible he attacked Annie with a shovel hitting her face until it was disfigured then he put the shovel on

her forehead jumped on it and continued until Annie stopped moving the investigators took this information to a State medical expert who checked Danny's autopsy report and corroborated the inmate's description of the injuries on Annie's face especially the one to her forehead Chris had killed Annie because he believed she was pregnant with his child Darwin Christopher Bagshaw was eventually tried as an adult and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder he was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison and will be eligible for parole in 2034. a recording captured a message from Spencer to his friends clearly

said ingest no one had any idea that Chris may have been scheming his own murderous plans at this very moment you know I never wanted to do this but sometimes you just got a point yeah what are you doing so back off I'm just late good morning
