he gets his inheritance this afternoon that's why we're moving we're going to Bear all our bills off that we need to pay off you and then take a long vacation less than 24 hours from this footage AA theak Cano's husband Steve Riley was LIF flighted to the hospital due to a sudden sickness that immobilized his body within an hour of being at the hospital he would pass away I thought everybody knew sry my God what the cop doesn't realize at this time is that AA is a very good actor and she knows far more about Steve's sickness than she leads on you see Steve was less than an hour away from cashing in a $37 million inheritance payment when he became fatally ill and as the multi-week investigation would progress detectives would quick discover that Steve's death was due to poisoning someone had killed him and everyone close to Steve all had dire needs to claim his Newfound Fortune by any means necessary it was like 20 something million best thing you can do is get on the plane and don't look back Police Department it's the police department it's not Chad this body cam was recorded the night before Steve Riley's Death Steve and aa's drunken neighbor had been harassing them and other residents of the neighborhood so AA called 911 to deescalate the situation what makes this specific footage interesting is not the situation with their drunken neighbor but rather what I know would tell police after her $37 million inheritance fund that she's just our away from cashing in sorry you thought it was Chad yeah who wasad trying to kick in everybody's door who was busted to my light and look at the garbage can who was your who was he fighting with over here uh my fiance you went for a walk cool down who's your P Steve Riley Steve Riley yeah okay what's your name I'm Ena is your fiance hurt at all uh he got Dash on his forehead you know we just want to talk with him too just to make sure he's all right if possible there flood all the way over there that's so what actually happened tonight what were they fighting over Chad was trying to kick in the door just for no reason or just just drunk he does that where do you think your fiance would have went so we could just give inside of the story little but oh I I don't know she got a phone on no we don't have a phone until this afternoon but this is where AA reveals something something she shouldn't have their plans to pay off all of their bills which had over the years been racking up and she does this for one reason to brag he gets his inheritance this afternoon that's why we're moving we're going to pay all our bills off that we need to pay off his lawyer gets here today at 2 to sign the paperwork for his money okay and then he's going to go pay that and his [Music] pay the rest of his child's for and then take a long vacation according to AA Steve is set to receive an inheritance from his late uncle tomorrow which supposedly is enough money to turn their lives around completely what police don't realize at this time is how enormous this inheritance sum really is in 2016 Steve's friend had received a call from a man named Marcus Riley who claimed to be Steve's long-lost Uncle from Ireland he had explained that he finally wanted to get in touch with his nephew Steve after connecting with each other Steve had learned he was in line to receive an inheritance upon his uncle's passing which was a sum of over $17 million at the time this was enough to permanently fix the financial struggles he and AA had been dealing with a couple of years later 4 months prior to the footage you just watched Steve would learn of his uncle's passing from a British lawyer who had contacted him additionally he would learn that his $17 million inheritance had grown to over 30 million due to his uncle's successful Investments over the years that's why AA cannot hold herself from boasting to the police tomorrow they plan to meet with their lawyer to officially sign the documents and claim the $30 million inheritance fund the two plan to take the money and live with Steve's long-lost family in Ireland quote living in the castles in less than 24 hours AA will be rich so as officers leave for the night AA would make one final statement about how her life was about to change forever do you want to step back inside and then if Steve shows back up we're going to try to look for him to get his side of the story as well but if Steve shows back up if you just want to give us a call or have him give us a call we'll talk to him then okay yeah he's going to stop by anyway like I said sounds good I've only been able to put like $5 on his fines but at least it was something okay sounds good we're going to pay it all off all at once perfect thank you Steve would return to his and aa's apartment that night and the two would patiently wait not being able to sleep as they counted down the hours until they would receive their Millions the plan to receive the funds was simple at 2: p. m. the group would go to the airport to meet their lawyer who was flying in with their inheritance paperwork AA and Steve obliged and would arrive at the airport alongside their two friends Billy and Wes before patiently waiting however while they were waiting for the lawyer's arrival Steve would become extremely sick he would claim feeling drunk even throwing up in the airport bathrooms his heart rate was rapidly increasing and his condition worsened to the point where Wes decided to take him home to help him treat his sickness AA would wait at the airport for the lawyer to arrive however he would never show up and after a couple of hours with no lawyer no money and a sick fiance she would return home as well everyone believed that Steve had suffered from a heat stroke as a result of working on his truck for hours that morning but Steve's symptoms were far more fatal than the heat Strokes he had received in the past even experiencing fatal signs of kidney failure throughout the night and in the morning Steve would become completely unresponsive forcing AA to call 911 911 uh my husband's really sick he got heat stroke yesterday and now he's not waking up and come on wake up what's the phone number calling from I don't have a phone number it's a phone that never got finished getting set up come on [Music] babe I've been trying everything ice water okay but he is breathing yes he's snoring he won't talk to me anymore he won't look at me he won't open his eyes okay I've got to help on the way just keep an eye on his breathing if anything changes with his breathing tell me immediately hello yeah hang on it's officer solv m not PD yeah hang [Applause] on yesterday inside the home officers would find Steve fully unresponsive and they would drag him out of the house through piles of trash and filth quickly he was rushed to the nearest hospital but with his condition so poor he would be flown to the St Alexis hospital to undergo more professional treatment but before we get to that I want to help you protect yourself and your family from something that can ruin your life identity theft ARA the sponsor of today's video helps protect you and your loved ones

Brokers and if you don't want to either you can go to www. ar. com do Insanity to try 2 weeks for free enough time for ARA to find out if any of your personal data is exposed after Steve was flown to the hospital I know would explain to the officers that Steve had gotten a heat stroke which caused his illness the officers had no reason not to believe her story so they would comfort her throughout the day as Steve was being treated unfortunately Steve would never again regain Consciousness this is Billy Burkhead Steve and aa's neighbor and he was with Steven AA the entire day of his sudden sickness even working on the truck with Steve and traveling with them to the airport Billy simply refused to believe that Steve's death was was caused by heat stroke especially since Steve seemed perfectly fine all day until they reached the airport instead Billy suspected something far more Sinister and wanted to share his theory with the detectives so the day after Steve's death Billy would call officers back to apartment 912a to detail his side of the story we think she poison me I'm almost sure she poisoned it so what's your plan right now we're making sure nothing goes okay cuz you know when they go to jail they die how long are you going to stay here I'll stay here until his sun gets here oh when's the Sun supposed to get here he's not dead I told you he not yeah he's dead I just and he was poisoned Billy's explanation for Steve's death is well horrifying if AA truly did Poison Steve then his symptoms would make sense and would up far more than the idea of him having a heat stroke however why would AA want to poison her husband if they were about to live such a good life well Billy seems to have the exact answer to that question another day she throw all the stuff out out the yard from his from his house yeah and he come out and he was holding his head down and then we're supposed to go up to the airport and meet this guy cuz he's supposed to get quite a bit of money come back we had to help him out of the car had to help him in the house and every friend you until he come home and then the next morning she's throwing all this stuff out she was supposed to call the am she never called Billy thinks that IO was secretly planning to split with Steve after the inheritance was received even going so far as to throw his belongings out of the house after they returned from the airport even worse is that AA lied about getting help for Steve after after they returned from the airport pretending to take him to get treated when in reality they never left the house unfortunately AA overheard all of this talk and decided to give Billy a piece of her own mind I'm taking off I'm not worthy of my hey stay here hey stay out here I need to take a picture picture what building truck oh you can say [Music] over Steve collapsed yesterday mhm went to the hospital I found out the poison how'd you find that out I'm just telling you the son don't ever stop after these people they're nasty people they're nasty AA coincidentally seemed to put the blame on the neighbors calling them evil people it's become more clear that Steve's death was far more Sinister than officers had first expected officers now had a potential homicide case to investigate but as they went to leave one officer accidentally broke the news to AA that her fiance had passed [Music] away I thought everybody knew [Music] oh my God I guess the sun is is on his way here okay apparently the sun is on the way here so better aa's reaction to her husband's passing is one of the strangest I've ever seen she starts balling her eyes out then suddenly jumps right back to her normal self as if she hadn't even heard the terrible news to begin with it's becoming more and more clear that something is not adding up Billy was not the only person to initially put the blame on AA in fact he was only one of many who would come forward with their concerns in fact Billy's wife Lynn had stated that AA had made horrifying statements in the past alluding that if she was to ever kill her partner she would poison him using an antifreeze to add to the pile of already incriminating information Steve would be tested for ethylene glycol in his bloodstream a key ingredient in antifreeze to nobody's surprise the results showed toxic levels of ethylene glycol in his system this information would serve as the Catalyst for initiating a formal homicide investigation into the death of Steve Riley following the commencement of the investigation a series of intensive interrogations would be conducted with all parties connected to the incident including AA to ultimately solve Steve's murder however before that AA would launch a plan of her own it must have been made apparent to her that she was in hot water as the day after this encounter with the police she would call them back to apartment 912a to explain theories of her own hi came okay what's going on I don't know we've been here he keeps trying to make it speech truck where's the truck at in the garage is this the paperwork on the thing or no no no this is uh property that Steve was buying oh after his inheritance got here I think he left it to his son but I had to Google where to go to get his inheritance switched over to the people he left to I don't know I don't know today he was supposed to meet his lawyer apparently I thought it was heo apparently he was poison I'm fighting out with anre all right and I don't know how to get a hold of the guy in London with his inheritance you should be here in town you never show up at the airport course trying to figure out why AA seems to conspire to the idea that Steve may have drank the antifreeze himself or that someone may have poisoned him however despite all the suspicion being thrown her way she can only stay on track for minutes before going back on tangents about her inheritance fund it was clear at this point that somebody had poisoned Steve the idea of this being self-inflicted was unlikely as Steve had a life-changing amount of money waiting for him and would have had to drink the antifreeze just hours before going to claim the cash clearly AA can be made out as the lead suspect due to the amount of fingers being pointed her way but the other potential suspects should not be ruled out either with this in mind officers would bring their first suspect in for questioning Rebecca Rebecca was another neighbor of AA and Steve's who was very involved with the entire case so far pitching her opinion to police whenever she could Rebecca was brought in primarily to add to the pile of evidence to confront AA with later but as the interview would continue strange red flags would arise from Rebecca's odd personality you guys know my daughter yes yeah how's she doing yesterday um God works a mysterious way she was arrested released she said uh this is um the demons that are in her the spirits that follow her was able to change her butt cheeks so maybe they'll stop following her now she said yeah well hopefully she gets the help she needs I pray she does see starting off a homicide interview explaining how demons left your daughter's butt is an interesting way of proving your innocence but the detective isn't here to judge rather to get to the bottom of Steve's death so he'll ignore these strange remarks obviously it sounds like you might know some things that I'm a nosy neighbor it's good I like it well I know um I know what cars belong what cars don't um who live lives in my neighborhood who doesn't so yes that's good we're investigating Steve's passing just because it sounds like maybe there's something I can't I supicious about whatever I know how long have Steve and Ena lived there that you know of approximately two years okay how was there a relationship that you know the first year was Steve was looking great doing great the past year I don't know if she suffers from mental illness at times but her mental state went downhill the past year okay when you lose weight when you're not acting right Shady stuff going on you're not working yes he was okay and it got worse the past couple months it seems as though Steve's life wasn't as straightforward as initially thought having drug issues weight loss and possibly depression whether or not I know was a large contributor to these deteriorating issues is something they will soon learn as this interview would become a pivotal piece of evidence laying the groundwork to dismantle her defense entirely during the interrogation and it got worse the past couple months you think you think likely that theme whatever yes do you think she was using yeah okay and alcohol use too okay yes both of them with alcohol okay so Steve had mentioned before like in the past about about getting money yes how many like 2 million the amount Steve had planned to receive was something he kept very secret often lying to people like Rebecca on how much he was actually getting as we'll soon find out this number was much much larger than 2 million one his uncle passed away um yes first he said he was going to leave it to Ena and then they were fighting and a couple months later he said he went back and changed the well he told me he was like don't tell Ena but I changed that this statement from Rebecca would explain what AA was talking about last time she spoke to police and how she was trying to switch the will over from Steve's son to herself if AA discovered his plan it would have given her a strong incentive to do whatever it took to change the will back in her favor possibly by any means necessary cuz it started 5 months and he told me yeah I got a will I'm leaving everything to Ena if something happened and then it seemed like two months after that he's like that get nothing cuz she cuz she's a so that was just that's how he yeah was he ever talking about leaving Ena yes okay you know I'm going to get this money and leave her get my own place or go back to California okay I I met her son last night oh okay her son came I no I'm sorry his son St son I'm all that's okay he flew in he I he came up to my apartment in um but as he's leaving she came up knocked on my door when he was up yeah to get him I think she was nervous she it was like she was pissed he was up there and then she's like I just want to let you know I found a will papers so she said in front of you though that she found will papers yes yep AA clearly had become obsessed with the idea that she was about to live the life of her dreams with Steve's inheritance but after rumors of Steve leaving her it seems AA became terrified that she might not receive the funds and would be stuck with her depressive living conditions it's now become obvious how these events and Steve's strange death could be correlated to one another however as Rebeca had stated herself she was a nosy neighbor looking for any rumors or conspiracy theories to help solve the neighborhood drama I've also cut out over 40 minutes of completely false information Rebecca gave to detectives which certainly doesn't add to her authenticity in order to further confirm the accuracy of these claims two more reliable sources would be brought in the following day Steve's son Ryan and Billy Burkhead if anyone would be able to give proper insight into Steve's life it would be these two as they were by far the closest people to Steve um we assigned the case of your Dad's passing you're really the only next of kin that's maybe had a relationship with your dad it sounds like yeah okay did he ever talk to you about you know when you guys talked in the last year uh yeah he was talking about how he was getting a large sum of money and he kind of just wanted to leave her cuz she didn't really have a job and was like weing off the did Steve ever talk about leaving Hina all the time okay every day she was she talked about poison and Steve okay and me because we're always together together and she didn't like that and I don't know how much it was it's supposed to be it's way up there in the money it was like 20 something million best thing you can do is get on the plane and don't look back yeah I said that's the best thing you can do almost every piece of information the detectives receive leads straight to AA as the killer it also makes sense why AA hated Billy and Steve's Sons so much as they knew far more information than she would have liked about the inheritance and her schemes to obtain it these interviews wouldn't last long as detectives got all the information they needed from the two and could directly confront AA with it but before leaving they would break disturbing news to Ryan which would make this case even more of a terrible tragedy so this inheritance now um I'm thinking that's the same thing thinking um which I mean I don't obviously I don't know for sure but by all accounts of looking at it it looks like it's a scam looks like it's a I mean the letter has different fonts in it and things and so and the fact that your dad gone there several times to me with some lawy never showed up to the airport that and all the emails that they tried to send back to the center of those emails it always came back undeliverable The Inheritance was a scam Steve had lived for the past seven years under the impression that if he just patiently waited living through his terrible living conditions he would come out with more money than he could dream of and finally enjoy life even worse was that this very scam that stagnated his life for years may have been the cause of his very own death with Such a Pity of a case detectives would go on to interview a handful of other suspects in order to get as much information as they possibly could to help break down aa's defense and after multiple days of interviews the day finally came to confront AA with everything they've gathered but despite all this evidence against her officers knew they would have a hard time Prosecuting Ino without a confession or incriminating statements and that's exactly what they were determined to get inside this cut down 1 and a/ half hour interview you'll see some of the most clever interrogation tactics I've ever shown on this channel slowly dismantling aa's story until all she has left is an incoherent string of lines so like I said we have been just talking to everyone like Billy West everybody um that kind of just knew Steve just to get an idea of like what was going on in this life so you and Steve were in a relationship yep okay how long had you guys been together 13 years okay where did you guys meet Hess Shelter in buffet dinner in North Dakota Washington in Washington okay the detectives would go on to get more information about AA and Steve's early relationship but it wouldn't last long before AA would start conspiring against Billy and others she wanted to paint as suspects and I begged him to you know stay away from we've even gotten into fights to stay from ly Billy and Lynn okay I don't like calling people nasty and I've have seen they seen them worse in steep because he's tall and mean looking people were intimidated by him okay just by his look so what why would you want him to stay away from Billy and Lon cuz they're really really nasty people felonies uh breaking into places uh I knew they did more than pot you know smoking more than pot did Steve smoke more than marijuana no he's allergic to marijuana okay did he use other drugs uh not for the longest time was he using who was he using that no okay after that after he got the max the last time yep he's like screw this I'm going to just do what I want and want what I want okay so that's when he started using I think so okay this would be the first of aa's Lies during this interrogation she knew Steve had been using long before the incident she described but in order to make Billy seem like the villain in their lives she wanted to make it seem as though he was the reason for Steve's drug use take note of aa's body language while she clearly lies she glances up and avoids eye contact constantly fidgets and scratches her skin and most notably stutters and slurs on her speech as she tries to make up a story keep this in mind for the rest of the interrogation and you'll be able to accurately point out when AA isn't telling the truth but now the police would ask her perhaps the most intriguing question what exactly did she plan to do with the inheritance money so how when did he find out about this inheritance I want to say 3 months ago 4 months ago so what what is the inheritance I know you had shown that first day Lieutenant day and I came um you showed us kind of that letter that was on his phone um is that that's the inheritance that was the the letter okay uh and he was talking about an actual lawyer I guess okay from London but so this lawyer reached out to him and said he's I guess I don't even know how he found out about it he just it just appeared and he was reading that the money wasn't cursed or whatever every single person that went for the the Riley money over there yeah uh even this 21-year-old I passed away clearly AA is running out of resources to take suspicion off herself and the detectives won't take long before making her abundantly aware of how horrible of a liar she is but for now they'd like to get some more information on this inheritance and if I know would admit to trying to claim it all for herself how much money was it it ended up it was supposed to be 17 million uh 17 milon 500,000 something but with all the property sold off it ended up being 37 million so there was cash and then properties were sold okay so supposed to be coming from who was the family member Marcus something Riley was that a brother or Uncle it was an uncle okay did he live so in Ireland okay how does it get to is it starting to be that the lawyer is starting to give him like a time that he's coming to my not yeah that's pretty much when he kept saying I'm going to show up at this time and Steve would ride down there and he wasn't there and then he get the email afterwards that he was uh going to come until later and then later okay the detectives would spend the next 25 minutes trying to understand aa's timeline for the day they plan to receive the inheritance whenever she gave a time for when the group went to the airport she would conveniently change that time entirely just a few minutes later but one detail would stay the same unlike her original claims to officers on the day of the murder she would insist that Steve had never gone to the airport but rather Wes had gone instead to represent Steve this was confusing but aa's reason as to why Steve couldn't make it to the airport would make just as little sense cuz he was drinking beer all day he was working in the garage he was spray painting his truck you know with the doors and the and the windows closed barely drinking any water so he he consumed almost a case of beer and no he can drink more than that pay attention to AA here she's carefully crafting a story to deflect suspicion but the detectives came prepared I've seen him couple cases but on that day yeah it was a case beer from probably 6:00 or 7 in the morning until 2: in the afternoon so 5 to six hours that sound right probably do you drink anything else uh just a glass of water and his tea I made ice tea cuz he begged for ice tea Steve had no traces of alcohol in his system the day of his death proven by a blood test and toxicology so detectives know clearly AA is lying through her teeth so I just have a lot of concerns here okay and I'm just going to be honest with you you told the paramedics when they were there that morning or afternoon that he had been drinking till 5: in the morning that he'd been consuming alcohol that's on body cam okay you said he was drinking all day the day before and that he drank his last drink at 5:00 a.
