Anderson Elementary School. 34 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,040 It's about 5 miles north of the Vancouver city limits. 35 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,960 I was actually quite familiar with it 36 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,040 because I lived for a dozen years 37 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,920 within walking distance of the school. 38 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,960 I might have even been the first reporter 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,840 who was on the scene. 40 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,080 The police had already cordoned off the parking lot. 41 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,920 The car was probably 15 or 20 feet away 42 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,600 from where I was. 43 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400 I could see the smashed driver's side window, 44 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,120 and I believe there was some glass on the ground too. 45 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,440 It wasn't until I could see some of the photographs 46 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,520 that one of our photographers took of the minivan, 47 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,280 and that was the first time that I could see 48 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,920 four bullet holes clearly in the windshield. 49 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960 It was a little bit of a chilling moment. 50 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,760 It really hit home, and you could see 51 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,640 that something terrible had happened indeed. 52 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Tiffany was the nicest, kindest, 53 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,920 magnificent person ever. 54 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760 We met at a Grow and Learn event 55 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,240 that they do at the schools. 56 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,200 You take your little kids that aren't in school yet, 57 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,960 and they read stories. 58 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,760 And she was new, and it was like an instant thing. 59 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,680 She kind of just started saddling up to me, 60 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,000 and we just got to talking. 61 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 And from that moment on, it was like we'd 62 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,360 always known each other. 63 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,960 I'm a teacher. 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,080 I met Tiffany through my school's PTA. 65 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,000 She was the co-president, and I was treasurer, 66 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,760 and that's where our friendship grew. 67 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560 She was very, very go-getting. 68 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,400 Like, she was very determined, very caring, 69 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,680 very compassionate towards kids, towards our school, 70 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,200 towards her own kids. 71 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,000 I mean, just she was a wonderful mother. 72 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,240 She was very protective of her kids. 73 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,400 It was perfect because she had three kids, 74 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,560 and I had three kids. 75 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,120 Every day, we texted. 76 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,000 Every day, we saw each other because our kids went 77 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,560 to the same school. 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,760 My daughter and her daughter were best friends. 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,080 Her and I started getting really close, 80 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120 and we were, like, oh, my gosh, our husbands, well, 81 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760 we think they'll really get along. 82 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,000 My wife and Tiffany became fast friends. 83 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,040 And she told me, hey, we got invited 84 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120 to their daughter's birthday party. 85 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Turns out I did actually like her husband quite a bit. 86 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Him and I got along instantly. 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,600 We just became friends. 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,960 He was a bowler. 89 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,360 He was on, like, a bowling league, 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200 and I joined the league with him. 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,040 Keland Hill moved his family across the country, 92 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,120 out here to Washington State. 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,960 He got a job at a subsidiary of Boeing Company 94 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,440 that manufactures military drones. 95 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,280 We were each other's emergency contacts. 96 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920 So if her kids were sick and I was closer, 97 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,720 I would just go and pick them up 98 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,880 and take them home and vice versa. 99 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,760 And Keland was also on our emergency contact as well 100 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,120 to pick up our kids as needed. 101 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,840 Everybody loved Keland. 102 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320 Everybody that knew him liked him. 103 00:05:37,440 -->

feel at ease, very hospitable and generous. 107 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,760 You know, he was handsome. 108 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,120 You know, he could woo you in a minute. 109 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,760 Like, he was just funny. 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080 You wanted to be around him. 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,600 Keland would be, like, hey, come over. 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,240 Let's have a barbecue. 113 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,920 And we'd show up, and Keland had went and bought 114 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,160 50 pounds of steak and ten bottles 115 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,120 of really expensive, like, alcohol. 116 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,080 People were, oh, gosh, he's a really great guy. 117 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,440 It was an intense love from the very beginning, 118 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,360 very codependent. 119 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,160 He would talk about their marriage in the sense of, 120 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:27,240 I just love her so much, and I just want to make her happy. 121 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,640 You can see that they were madly in love. 122 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,160 She needed him deeply. 123 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,520 But I knew all of their deep, dark secrets. 124 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640 That day was her daughter's birthday 125 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160 and my son's birthday. 126 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:52,840 Took my son to school, and then we took our daughters, 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,680 along with her mom. 128 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,400 We went to the movies, and we went and saw "Frozen 2." 129 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,800 And she saw me about to leave, 130 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,360 and she ran over and gave me a big hug. 131 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,680 And then I told her to call me in a little bit. 132 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,960 It was the end of the school day. 133 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,360 Tiffany and her mother arrived to get their three children. 134 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,200 It came out over the radio. 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,040 A big serious police call comes out, 136 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,840 active shooter situation. 137 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,080 I didn't hear any gunshots. 138 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,600 I just heard part of the lockdown procedure 139 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480 go into place. 140 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,920 And I wasn't quite sure, like, is this real or not real? 141 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200 We knew that the suspected shooter had fled the scene, 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,880 but the police were right on him. 143 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,800 They went through a high-speed chase 144 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,200 with speeds approaching 75 miles an hour. 145 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520 He was running red lights. 146 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Karina called me and said, 147 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,920 there's been a shooting at Sarah J. 148 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,480 Have you talked to Tiffany? 149 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840 And I said, no. 150 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,360 I actually looked at my wife and said, it's Tiffany. 151 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,680 I know it's Tiffany, and I know she's dead. 152 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160 I saw Tiffany's mom in the nurse's station, 153 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,120 and she was bleeding. 154 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440 And our school nurse was trying to calm her down 155 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,440 and figure out where the bleeding was coming from. 156 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920 I asked, where's Tiffany? 157 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Where's the kids? 158 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,200 And another staff person told me that she was shot. 159 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,520 At the hospital, I arrived. 160 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 They had just declared Tiffany dead. 161 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800 And that's when we got one of our first big tips 162 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,520 that the shooter in this case had just gotten out 163 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,200 of jail a few days earlier. 164 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800 At this hour, American and Coalition forces are 165 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480 in the early stages of military operations 166 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,360 to disarm Iraq, to free its people, 167 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,280 and to defend the world from grave danger. 168 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,240 In 2005, Tiffany Hill joins the Marines. 169 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,040 She is deployed to Iraq. 170 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,840 If you know anything about Marines, 171 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,040 they pride themselves on their toughness. 172 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,520 They pride themselves on their ability. 173 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,400 It is a brotherhood and a sisterhood. 174 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,560 And she rose to the rank of sergeant in the Marines. 175 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:43,440 That is where she meets her future husband, Keland Hill. 176 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,160 He was in logistics in the Marines. 177 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,800 He would talk about how they dated in Iraq. 178 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,200 She said it was really intense when you're overseas. 179 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,120 We had thousands of people coming back from Iraq, 180 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,880 some with horrific physical wounds, 181 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,760 other with emotional and mental wounds. 182 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,520 It's not an experience that most people care to relive. 183 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,320 It leaves a lasting mark. 184 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,080 And she was actually his boss. 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,680 I mean, they would work like 24-hour shifts, 186 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,840 and it just blossomed. 187 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,200 It happened very-- it was very short, you know, 188 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,680 that it happened. 189 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,320 And all of a sudden, they started dating. 190 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,280 She wins a number of military honors and distinctions 191 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,000 when she is in Iraq. 192 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,240 She suffers some type of injury 193 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,040 and is honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. 194 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,320 Shortly thereafter, she marries Keland Hill. 195 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,320 And I think it was, they couldn't live together 196 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,400 when they were going to be coming back over here, 197 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,120 so they kind of rushed to get married. 198 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720 That way they could live together right away. 199 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,040 And it was great. 200 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,000 It was fun. 201 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,800 It was carefree. 202 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,720 Everybody thought he was this great person. 203 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,360 And when the truth came out, everybody was shocked. 204 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640 We went out to lunch one day, and the girls were playing. 205 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,680 And she just kind of very briefly had tossed out, 206 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,920 like, some bad times they'd had before, 207 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,600 times that she'd almost left him. 208 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,440 And I asked questions, and she would 209 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:23,960 just kind of slowly started spilling everything from there. 210 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,280 I think it was after they had their first kid. 211 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,760 He did not like the attention that she and the baby got. 212 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,640 Her life no longer revolved around him, 213 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,720 and I think he didn't like that. 214 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,080 That's what he wanted. 215 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,920 He wanted 1,000% of her all the time. 216 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,560 He was offered a job out here. 217 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,480 And he gave a really high amount of what he wanted 218 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,000 to be paid, and they gave that. 219 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,920 Tiffany did not want to come out here. 220 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,440 And, you know, she's-- 221 00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:10,880 she's a New Yorker. 222 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,320 You know, she's from Brooklyn. 223 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,000 Her family was back there. 224 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,640 She almost left him at that time 225 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960 because she didn't want to come here. 226 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,640 But he convinced her that it was going 227 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000 to be different out here. 228 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,520 Her thing was he moved her out here 229 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,360 to get her away from the support network that she had. 230 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200 But for him, it was all sunshine and daisies. 231 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,520 You know, he moved out here to make 232 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,200 a better life for the family. 233 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,440 Outwardly, he seemed like a great father 234 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:39,320 because he had a really good job. 235 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,520 And he was able to buy nice things for his family. 236 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,360 And, you know, superficially, that's great. 237 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,640 But how you truly act as a person is, you know, 238 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,080 that's different. 239 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880 You could tell there wasn't a closeness 240 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,440 that you can see in a lot of marriages. 241 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,640 There weren't like the little touches, the hand-holdings. 242 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,400 There weren't things like that. 243 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,600 Whenever he'd enter a room at any time, 244 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,640 she would automatically, like, stiffen. 245 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,200 Like, her shoulders would kind of go up a little bit. 246 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,800 The way he talked to her, 247 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,880 it wasn't behavior of a good spouse, 248 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160 kind of degrading things. 249 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,920 Like, if she wore a nice outfit or something, 250 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,000 he would just talk down to her. 251 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,720 And, oh, what do you think you're so hot, 252 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,040 you can wear stuff like that? 253 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920 And just kind of degrade her a little bit. 254 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,400 The marriage wasn't the way he wanted it to be. 255 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,560 He wanted, like, you know, a '50s-style marriage 256 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,320 where the woman stayed home and cooked 257 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640 and did everything for him and serviced him at all times 258 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,440 and did what he said. 259 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,960 But Tiffany was an independent spirit, 260 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,240 and she was extremely active in her children's education 261 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440 and was volunteering all the time for everything. 262 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,720 I mean, she just gave of herself constantly, 263 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,040 and so he'd be upset that she wasn't at home doing the dishes 264 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400 or cleaning the house or have dinner ready 265 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,000 because she was so busy volunteering all the time. 266 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,520 And he was unfaithful in his marriage. 267 00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,040 He would frequently leave the bowling alley when we were done 268 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,840 to go be with other women, 269 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880 and he showed me the pictures to prove it. 270 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,640 It wasn't a "he said, she said" kind of thing. 271 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,160 I saw the pictures. 272 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,960 I saw the text messages. 273 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,040 That is when the darkness showed itself. 274 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,000 She told me that he was arrested 275 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,520 in North Carolina for strangling her. 276 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,120 It was right after they both got out of the military. 277 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,560 Basically, in a drunken rage, 278 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,000 he tried to choke the life out of her, literally. 279 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,800 And she managed to get out of the house 280 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840 and got to a neighbor's house. 281 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,600 The police were called, and he was arrested. 282 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,840 Keland Hill is charged with attempted murder 283 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,040 by strangulation. 284 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,800 The charges are later dropped after Tiffany urges 285 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,520 the prosecutors to do so. 286 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,040 Then she said they moved to Maryland, 287 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,840 and he was abusive in Maryland. 288 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000 She almost left him at that time too. 289 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,520 He convinced her. 290 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,200 She went back. 291 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Once they moved to Vancouver, 292 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,600 Tiffany was away from family members. 293 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,960 She was away from her friends, 294 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,480 and apparently the abuse continued behind closed doors. 295 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,560 Keland would drink, and then he would go home and abuse her. 296 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,560 She was tired because he also was sleep-depriving her. 297 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,680 When she would sleep, he would turn on the TV 298 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,240 as loud in their bedroom. 299 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,840 He put water all over her side of the bed. 300 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,200 So when she'd get into bed, it would be soaking wet. 301 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400 I wanted her to leave the very first time 302 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,280 she told me this was going on. 303 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,680 But he'd find her, no matter what she did or where she went. 304 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,960 That was her thing. 305 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,200 She was, like, he'll find me. 306 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,160 He will find a way to me. 307 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440 He will break apart every friendship and relationship 308 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,000 that I have, and I will have to go back to him 309 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,840 because she'd always forgiven him. 310 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,920 He was working harder to bring her back in. 311 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,000 She was at the point now where she was, like, 312 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,000 pushing back for the first time. 313 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,800 Like, she's going through with this. 314 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,480 It was just a matter of finding the time 315 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,160 for her to just leave him. 316 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,080 On September 11th of 2019, 317 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,200 Tiffany suffers some serious injuries 318 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,360 after an altercation with Keland. 319 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,840 He apparently slammed her against the wall, 320 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,960 threw her out of the bedroom. 321 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,600 One of their children asked Google 322 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,040 or whatever, Amazon Echo, that they had to call Grandma. 323 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,040 They told Grandma what was happening, 324 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,440 and Grandma called 911 from a different state 325 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,000 because he had taken her phone, so she couldn't call 911. 326 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,960 The police came, and he was arrested. 327 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,960 It was later determined that she suffered a concussion 328 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,760 and whiplash from this attack. 329 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,120 He told me that Tiffany, when she got the concussion, 330 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,520 she took a dive. 331 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,760 You know, "I only touched her a little bit. 332 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,120 "She just took a dive. 333 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,760 And she's making all of this up," 334 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,240 blaming everything on her. 335 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,640 She wasn't taking care of the kids, 336 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,880 and she wasn't taking care of me. 337 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,560 And she took a dive so that 338 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,040 I'd get arrested, you know. 339 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,760 Never minding the fact that there is 340 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,800 a medical doctor saying she has a concussion 341 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,680 with the report to back it up. 342 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,640 She was issued a restraining order 343 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,360 and a no contact. 344 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,920 Following the September 11th attack on Tiffany, 345 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,280 Keland Hill is released from jail, 346 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,440 but the abuse escalates and continues. 347 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,960 It didn't matter. 348 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,040 He was still texting her every day, 349 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,320 sending her Facebook messages. 350 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,240 He was stalking her. 351 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:36,840 I mean, I have hundreds of text messages, 352 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,520 his texts to her. 353 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,320 She was scared. 354 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,920 She was scared of what he could potentially do, 355 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,840 just because knowing that both of them 356 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,320 were in the military. 357 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,520 She was afraid as far as what he could do. 358 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,880 And then he tried to buy a gun. 359 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,360 We have an assembly at the school. 360 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,320 Tiffany gets a phone call. 361 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,280 She comes back out of the room that she was in. 362 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,320 She looked like a ghost. 363 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,080 And I said, what's going on? 364 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,880 And she said, I have to go meet my social worker. 365 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240 He tried to buy a gun. 366 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,120 He had actually tried to purchase a gun 367 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,520 in a neighboring state, and he was red-flagged 368 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,280 and was not able to purchase the rifle. 369 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,160 Actually, the day that we found out 370 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760 he had tried to buy a gun, we were driving 371 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,400 to see her social worker. 372 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,440 And all I could think of is, what if he's behind us, 373 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,040 and he shoves my car into the median on the freeway? 374 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,680 I mean, you know, it goes through your mind. 375 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,400 It really does because I think it's smart. 376 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,000 You have to be aware. 377 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,160 And it was a horrible day. 378 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,600 She was distraught. 379 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,360 That is the day that I think her soul died. 380 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,400 She was just a shell of a human. 381 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,640 She was so devastated that he had tried to buy a gun 382 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720 and what that was going to mean to her. 383 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,640 We had one of our off-campus board meetings at a restaurant. 384 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080 And we're all leaving, and I see this man walking up, 385 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,800 and he smiles at me. 386 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,920 And I think to myself, well, that looks like Keland. 387 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,600 And then I doubt myself. 388 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,480 Well, well, no, that's-- that's dumb. 389 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,920 And I see him walking, and then I start 390 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,400 hitting one of our other board members in the arm. 391 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,480 And I said, oh, he's not supposed to be here. 392 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,680 He can't be here. 393 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,160 And I hear Tiffany say, oh, my God. 394 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,240 And she starts running for the car. 395 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,200 Keland's yelling at her, "I just want to see my kids." 396 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,240 And then realizes, you know, we're all coming towards him. 397 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,560 Like, this is going to be us forming a circle, right, 398 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,080 around her, and he runs. 399 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,800 That was the first interaction 400 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:34,040 that I saw of her just shaking uncontrollably from fear. 401 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,080 I tell her, the only way for him to know that you're here, 402 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,920 because we're parked in the very back, 403 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,200 is he has to be following you or tracking you. 404 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,960 That is the only way. 405 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,360 This restaurant was-- the parking lot 406 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,400 was all the way in the back. 407 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,080 I mean, you would have never seen someone pull in and park. 408 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,720 He was watching her. 409 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:26,000 He was showing up at places that were too random. 410 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,120 It wasn't just, oh, gosh, what a weird-- 411 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,160 you know, where we bump into each other. 412 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,960 No, these aren't places like he would go to. 413 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,360 Her life is falling apart. 414 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,160 You know, she couldn't go out to eat 415 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,360 because he would be there. 416 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Tiffany always said, "The only way I'm going 417 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,120 "to get out of this is if he kills me. 418 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,240 It's going to happen. He's going to kill me." 419 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,080 I saw Tiffany's reaction when he walked into the restaurant 420 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,240 to pick up a to-go order. 421 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,880 And I stood up and stood between him and the kids, 422 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,600 even though they were about 15 feet apart. 423 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,320 And he turned around to say, oh, I'm sorry, 424 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,720 I didn't realize. 425 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,360 And I just told him, no, get out of here now. 426 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,600 There was no way that he would have known she was here 427 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,880 unless he was tracking her. 428 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,640 We didn't know how. 429 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,080 We didn't know if it was by her phone 430 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,800 or if there was something on her car. 431 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,480 But we just-- we knew that there was 432 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,840 some way of him tracking her. 433 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,200 Once they got a K-9 unit out there, we knew. 434 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,920 Police found the tracking device. 435 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,960 He had placed a GPS tracker on her car. 436 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,200 He is eventually rearrested and charged 437 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,520 with stalking and violation of a restraining order. 438 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,400 I am currently a detective in the Domestic Violence Unit 439 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,400 for Vancouver Police Department. 440 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,000 Tiffany came in to have a interview with the prosecutor. 441 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,680 While they were in that interview, 442 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,600 Tiffany reported additional violations 443 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,360 of the no contact order. 444 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,480 What Tiffany and I talked about was a brief history 445 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,120 of their relationship. 446 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,360 I went back and reviewed the police reports, 447 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,720 Keland's criminal history, so I was aware of some 448 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,640 of the things that had happened across the country 449 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,440 in prior arrests. 450 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,440 But we focused mainly on what was happening right then. 451 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,440 Some victims, we do have great concerns about their safety, 452 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,680 and Tiffany would be one. 453 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,640 Tiffany was very concerned that Keland was going to murder her. 454 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,720 We were very concerned about that, based on his behavior. 455 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,360 We use a Danger Assessment 456 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,720 that's essentially a lethality predictor for our victims. 457 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,480 She scored very high on that, 458 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,480 31 out of 41, which is an extreme risk category for us. 459 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,440 We were all very concerned about Tiffany's safety. 460 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,320 A lot of domestic violence offenders have 461 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,360 the mentality that if they can't have the victim 462 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,000 and the children, then no one can. 463 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,560 One of the analogies I like to use is that, you know, 464 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,880 if you filled a 737 with people and crashed it every month, 465 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,600 it still wouldn't equal the number 466 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,400 of domestic violence victims that are murdered 467 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,680 by their significant other every year. 468 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,320 We try to do more specific situational safety planning. 469 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,760 So with Tiffany, we had several measures in place. 470 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,920 One is we wanted her to, if possible, 471 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,920 go back with her family in New York. 472 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,160 That would have been, I think, the safest thing. 473 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,240 And her mother did fly out to kind of assist with that. 474 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,160 But Tiffany wanted the best for her children. 475 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,360 She didn't want to pull her children from school. 476 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,680 She didn't want to have to change their lives. 477 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,240 That's very understandable. 478 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640 We talked about what was going on with the school. 479 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,880 The school, I know, had a security guard 480 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,080 that was specifically made aware of what was happening. 481 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,640 Her friends were aware of what's happening. 482 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,720 We talked about calling 911 immediately 483 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,240 and leaving the area immediately 484 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,720 and many other things. 485 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,000 But we did plan on, here are the things 486 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,120 that we need to do to try to keep you safe 487 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,200 because we know that he's out there 488 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,840 trying to purchase firearm. 489 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,080 I was at her house. 490 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,880 My spouse and I were helping 491 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,920 her change all the locks on the doors 492 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600 and putting bars on the sliding glass door, 493 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,760 not knowing when he was going to get out of jail. 494 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,360 And she kept repeating, he's going to kill me. 495 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,880 He is going to kill me. 496 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,440 He'll find a way, and I'll be dead. 497 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,640 And it was heartbreaking. 498 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,560 It was awful. 499 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,840 I mean, how do you-- how do you help someone at that point? 500 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,040 The prosecutor asked for a very high bail 501 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,240 to try to keep Keland where she thought he belonged, 502 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,640 in custody, and requested a bail of $2 million. 503 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600 She had hired a lawyer to advocate for her, 504 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,600 who told the judge he will kill her. 505 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,880 Tiffany is begging you. 506 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,200 He will kill her. 507 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,040 I stopped reporting because he's made aware of it 508 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,040 in my report, and I'm scared of his anger and retaliation. 509 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,240 Despite my non-report, he continued to escalate 510 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,440 because he feels he's smarter than everybody else, 511 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,880 and he's untouchable. 512 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,840 He is here now because he placed 513 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,040 a tracking device on my vehicle and tried to possess a weapon. 514 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,240 Those two things are major indicators 515 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,280 of what I've known all along deep down, 516 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,200 that he's going to kill me if he's given the opportunity. 517 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,160 I beg you to not allow him to get to me and my children. 518 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,560 I have no family here, nowhere to go. 519 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,320 We have no money and nowhere to hide from him. 520 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,640 He's made sure of that. 521 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Thank you. 522 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,400 A judge will consider all types of information 523 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,400 when making a decision on bail. 524 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,920 A judge will look at criminal history. 525 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,720 A judge will look at whether the defendant 526 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,920 is gainfully employed. 527 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,760 The judge will also look, though, 528 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,960 at the seriousness of the offenses-- 529 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,160 the fact that he had already been arrested, 530 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,520 the fact that he had tried to purchase a rifle, 531 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,440 the fact that he had placed a GPS tracker on her car. 532 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,160 The judge will look at all these factors 533 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,480 and apply the law to the best that he or she can. 534 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,240 The judge takes this all into consideration 535 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,800 and raises his bail from $75,000 to $250,000. 536 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,160 The prosecutor asked for electronic monitoring 537 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,120 of the defendant. 538 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,600 The judge, you know, took that into consideration, 539 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,120 decided against it. 540 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,600 The result was that Keland Hill was able 541 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680 to make bail and get out in the street. 542 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,160 Just in case if Keland showed up, 543 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,280 we'd been practicing lockdowns at the school. 544 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,280 They were prepared. 545 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,880 There were, you know, security guards at the school every day. 546 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,520 If Keland showed up, doors locked. 547 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,760 They hit the button. 548 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,400 Classrooms lock. Everything locks. 549 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,240 I think the hardest part for me was being at the school 550 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,040 and walking out to my car with Tiffany and the kids 551 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,800 because I never tried to let her walk out by herself. 552 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,440 But having to tell my 10-year-old, 553 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,400 if you see the kids' dad, and I tell you to run, 554 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,760 I want you to run, and I want you to hide. 555 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,880 And I don't want you to come find me. 556 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,480 I don't want you to look back. 557 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,880 I don't want you to come for me. 558 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,480 I want you to find a safe place. 559 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,920 And that-- that was heartbreaking. 560 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,840 I mean, she's text messaged me several times. 561 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,040 "I know Keland will kill me if he sees me." 562 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,680 It was late afternoon. 563 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,760 Most of the children had already left the school. 564 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,400 Keland arrived in the school parking lot. 565 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,480 He parked kind of on the end of the parking lot, 566 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480 away from the view of Tiffany's vehicle. 567 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,880 She was there with her mother. 568 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,240 They had picked up their three children. 569 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,360 They were all in the minivan, 570 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,120 when Keland apparently had been 571 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,960 waiting for this very moment, appeared. 572 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,600 He pulled out of his parking spot, 573 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,080 pulled up in front of Tiffany's vehicle. 574 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,720 So he was parked kind of perpendicular to her vehicle. 575 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Keland had gone up with his car in front of her van 576 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000 so she couldn't back out 577 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,720 and then went around the front-- 578 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,560 or knocked on the window first. 579 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,120 Keland flipped off Tiffany and then walked back to his car, 580 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,080 and then he came back around. 581 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,920 Pulled out a gun and cold-bloodedly shot 582 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,560 four times through the windshield. 583 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,640 He was shooting into a car with his kids in the back seat. 584 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Tiffany's mom leaned over and did the thing that they do, 585 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,440 you know, instinctual reaching out 586 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,560 to try to protect her daughter. 587 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,600 And she was shot in her arms and her hands. 588 00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:44,000 And then Keland had some kind of a malfunction 589 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,200 with his firearm, it appears. 590 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,840 Went back to his car trunk and appeared to reload 591 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,320 or clear his malfunction, came to the driver's side, 592 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,120 and fired a couple additional rounds. 593 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,200 Then got into his car and fled. 594 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,760 And then I think their teacher or a crossing guard 595 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,120 was walking by and heard what happened. 596 00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,840 I think they ran to the van and got the kids out 597 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,840 and shuttled them inside and locked the-- 598 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,200 locked the school down from there. 599 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,840 Clark County deputies were actually executing a warrant 600 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,880 just a few blocks away. 601 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,840 So when the call came out, they left the scene of the warrant. 602 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,880 And I believe he probably heard the sirens. 603 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,840 So they were right on him as he was leaving. 604 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,320 He had just committed a brutal crime 605 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,480 and was trying to flee the scene. 606 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000 The police went through a high-speed chase 607 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,680 with speeds approaching 75 miles an hour. 608 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120 He was running red lights, endangering other people. 609 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,280 The deputies actually attempted to stop his vehicle 610 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,760 by ramming it with theirs and pursued him 611 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,000 until he got caught in traffic. 612 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,040 And that's when Keland exited the vehicle, 613 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,080 turned to face the oncoming officers, 614 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,280 and shot himself. 615 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,040 He was a selfish person. 616 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,240 If he didn't get it his way, then, 617 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,240 you know, the world was not right. 618 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,880 Rather than make it work with his wife, 619 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,480 he took the coward's way out. 620 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,040 We were with the kids. 621 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,800 The kids were the priority. 622 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,120 I hadn't heard anything about Keland yet. 623 00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,080 I didn't know anything that had happened yet. 624 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,760 Priority was that it was their youngest daughter's birthday. 625 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,600 It was her sixth birthday. 626 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:52,600 I mean, so we stayed with them in a locked classroom. 627 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:54,560 A cake was brought in. 628 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,600 Pizza, we enjoyed ourselves. 629 00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,480 We smiled.
