it's a never-ending battle. 89 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,520 Uloma and Will have now been married for four months. 90 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,680 They're packing up the house because they bought a property 91 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640 outside of the city, and they're going 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,160 to move there and retire. 93 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,960 <i>At about 8:00 p.m., William and Uloma</i> 94 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,960 were packing their home when Uloma sent William 95 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,000 <i>to a local fast food restaurant.</i> 96 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,440 When William returned, he was ambushed outside of his home 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,920 and shot multiple times. 98 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,280 Lieutenant Walker was gunned down as he was opening 99 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,560 the side door to his home. 100 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,400 <i>First responders on scene were people</i> 101 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360 <i>who knew Lieutenant Walker,</i> 102 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,080 <i>who were with the fire department and the EMS,</i> 103 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,160 <i>who had worked closely with them.</i> 104 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240 My brother Dave was on duty at Station 17 that night, 105 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,960 and one of the Arson investigators 106 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960 took a phone call. 107 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,520 <i>And he said to Dave, he goes, Will Walker was just shot.</i> 108 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,680 Dave called me and he says, Will just got shot. 109 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 He's going to Metro. 110 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120 <i>I pulled into Metro, parked the car,</i> 111 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,800 <i>ran into the emergency room, and that's</i> 112 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,960 where the scene unfolded. 113 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,240 <i>It was surreal.</i> 114 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,280 <i>This isn't what you expect to happen to this guy.</i> 115 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,400 <i>I'd say maybe a dozen or so firefighters</i> 116 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,040 <i>in the emergency room.</i> 117 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,080 <i>And we could see him, he was in Trauma Bay 1.</i> 118 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,360 <i>And we could see the doctors, nurses,</i> 119 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,600 <i>and all the specialists in there working on Will</i> 120 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,360 <i>for a gunshot wound.</i> 121 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,160 <i>They gave him everything.</i> 122 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,760 <i>They knew he was a firefighter.</i> 123 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,920 <i>They did everything that they humanly,</i> 124 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,360 <i>possibly could have done.</i> 125 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,200 <i>We had some pure promise that maybe</i> 126 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,320 <i>Will was going to survive this.</i> 127 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,240 <i>Because the way they kept working him, I mean,</i> 128 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,800 <i>they could have called that code a long time</i> 129 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,360 <i>before they actually did.</i> 130 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960 <i>And the doc did come out, and he came right to me.</i> 131 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,880 <i>We knew each other.</i> 132 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,960 And he says, you want to go say goodbye to Will? 133 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,880 And I said, absolutely. 134 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,760 So I walked in there. 135 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,400 I held his hand for a short time. 136 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600 I gave him a kiss on the forehead 137 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,360 and told him I loved him. 138 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,160 <i>And, I mean, the nurses crying, firefighters crying.</i> 139 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,040 <i>It was a rough time.</i> 140 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,880 <i>I was one of the first supervisors on scene.</i> 141 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,560 I met with the Homicide unit. 142 00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:37,120 <i>At that time, William Walker and Uloma, his wife,</i> 143 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760 <i>had already been transported to the hospital.</i> 144 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,600 We searched the property and we found four shell casings, 145 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,520 <i>which was extremely helpful.</i> 146 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,160 <i>We also came up with a theory.</i> 147 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,760 Detective Lynch and myself, we noticed 148 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,960 that William Walker pulled the car 149 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,360 to the back near the garage. 150 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,720 So what we devised is, someone had to be back there 151 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,440 <i>before William Walker got there.</i> 152 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,920 <i>And it appeared that somebody jumped out</i> 153 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320 <i>from either the garage</i> 154 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,440 <i>or where the garbage cans were behind the house</i> 155 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,560 and, while William Walker was putting his keys in the door, 156 00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,840 <i>surprised William Walker and shot him four times.</i> 157 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,880 <i>So there are dozens and dozens of homicides</i> 158 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,440 <i>each year in Cleveland,</i> 159 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:25,760 but when a firefighter is killed, 160 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280 people definitely take notice. 161 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360 <i>The nature in which William Walker was killed</i> 162 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,000 <i>was shocking.</i> 163 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,440 <i>The fact that he was off duty outside of his home,</i> 164 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,480 <i>seemingly minding his own business,</i> 165 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,200 <i>and then gunned down viciously,</i> 166 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,920 his homicide became the biggest story in the city. 167 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280 All eyes were on the William Walker case. 168 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120 Everyone wanted to know, who did it? 169 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,240 We have to find out what, why, who? 170 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,360 We already know where, which is a good thing. 171 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,040 But we have to find out the facts. 172 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160 <i>It didn't appear to be a random attack.</i> 173 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,040 The neighborhood had one way in and one way out. 174 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520 So anyone who was in that neighborhood 175 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,840 <i>had a reason to be there, or at least some sort of intent.</i> 176 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,680 So our job now is to start interviewing witnesses. 177 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,480 <i>So we have to interview Uloma and find out</i> 178 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,640 <i>a little more about, you know, what had happened,</i> 179 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,120 <i>what she had heard.</i> 180 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Yeah, yeah. 181 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000 Right now, the way we're looking at the case is, 182 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Uloma is a victim because her husband 183 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,600 <i>was just shot and killed.</i> 184 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,960 <i>However, we did kind of think that there was something</i> 185 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,360 that just wasn't right about this case, 186 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,680 and hopefully it's going to come out 187 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,480 during the investigation. 188 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,160 Mm-hmm. 189 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,040 So interviewing Uloma, she said that she was in the house, 190 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,840 and then she heard William calling for help. 191 00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,560 <i>She finds William laying on the ground</i> 192 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,040 <i>with a lot of blood.</i> 193 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,720 And right away she calls 911 to report that 194 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,960 her husband has been shot. 195 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,160 <i>She was hysterical, and everything looked like</i> 196 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,960 <i>it was a robbery gone bad.</i> 197 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,480 <i>Some of those first responders</i> 198 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,920 who say just that she had a fairly odd response, 199 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,600 in that she acted hysterical, but then also 200 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,280 <i>was kind of reserved.</i> 201 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800 <i>And asked, you know, is he still alive yet?</i> 202 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,880 <i>And in a way that didn't settle well</i> 203 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,320 <i>with those first responders,</i> 204 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,640 <i>people who see these kind of tragic things</i> 205 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,560 <i>regularly enough to kind of know</i> 206 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:03,280 <i>how people typically react.</i> 207 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,040 <i>Detectives, of course, were trying to establish</i> 208 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,800 why someone would want to kill him. 209 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,400 That was the big question is, you know, 210 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,360 <i>what was his private life like?</i> 211 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,680 <i>And why would someone want William Walker,</i> 212 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,120 <i>a hero in our community, dead?</i> 213 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,080 I never knew there was any strife at home with him. 214 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,000 <i>He was a private guy.</i> 215 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,080 He didn't speak to anybody that I know 216 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,240 within our office of any issues with his home life. 217 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880 Now, when it comes to in-depth information-- 218 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,520 you know, who necessarily liked who 219 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,360 or who may have had a tense relationship-- 220 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920 we don't necessarily know all of that. 221 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,320 That is kind of some of the questions 222 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,440 that I ask that it's like, you know, 223 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,920 <i>did you get along well with Lieutenant Walker?</i> 224 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280 <i>Or were there, you know, issues there?</i> 225 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,160 There were never any problems reported at the home. 226 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,640 He was an upstanding member of the community, 227 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,840 and his neighbors loved the fact 228 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,920 that they had a lieutenant firefighter 229 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,200 <i>living in their neighborhood.</i> 230 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,680 <i>We were clueless.</i> 231 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,320 <i>Number one, it was Will Walker.</i> 232 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,160 You know, that was the guy you would 233 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,120 never expect to have an enemy. 234 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,760 I know of not a single guy that had a grudge against him. 235 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Our next progression is that we have to get back out there 236 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,680 on the streets and we have to knock on doors 237 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,200 because we don't have any current leads. 238 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,320 The neighborhood he was in was in a rougher part of town. 239 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,520 <i>And he did his civic duty there,</i> 240 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,360 <i>trying to change that neighborhood.</i> 241 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,400 He told us about drug dealers 242 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,800 that he got chased out of the neighborhood. 243 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,240 They wanted to get out 244 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,640 of that neighborhood that they were in. 245 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,320 <i>They bought a little place out in the country.</i> 246 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,960 <i>I remember him showing me pictures</i> 247 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,760 of the house from the back porch overlooking 248 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,760 the land he bought. 249 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,640 So he was--he was very much looking forward to that move. 250 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,080 And that was what was so hard about, 251 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320 I think, the initial investigation 252 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,680 <i>for the Cleveland Police Department,</i> 253 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400 <i>was they couldn't find anybody with a motive.</i> 254 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,600 <i>Just a few days after the shooting,</i> 255 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,360 there was a candlelight vigil outside 256 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,800 of William Walker's home. 257 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,760 <i>Hundreds of people came out.</i> 258 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,080 <i>There was fire engines and police cruisers.</i> 259 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,640 <i>Friends, family, neighbors, you name it,</i> 260 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,360 <i>all came out in support of William Walker.</i> 261 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,960 <i>Oh, that was a well-attended vigil to honor him.</i> 262 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,720 And it wasn't just firefighters there. 263 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,400 <i>I mean, we--we stand shoulder to shoulder</i> 264 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,520 <i>with the fire community, but that was his community</i> 265 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,160 <i>that was out on the street that day.</i> 266 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560 There was that many people. They were hugging on us. 267 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,440 <i>Yeah, Will was that type of guy.</i> 268 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,200 <i>William was part of the firefighter family,</i> 269 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,080 so therefore Uloma was also part of that family. 270 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,040 <i>There was an outpouring of support</i> 271 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,240 <i>from fellow firefighters, who even chipped in</i> 272 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,320 <i>to help pay for Uloma's living expenses</i> 273 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,040 <i>after William's death.</i> 274 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,720 <i>We let the investigators do their thing.</i> 275 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,840 <i>They pulled out all stops to try to find out</i> 276 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,840 what happened to Will. 277 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,280 We stood back and we waited for information 278 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,040 to trickle down through our union. 279 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160 <i>They were probably the best source</i> 280 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,000 <i>of communication and intel on what actually happened.</i> 281 00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,960 <i>There was nothing for a long, long time of real substance.</i> 282 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Because it was a stale, stale atmosphere 283 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,800 with the case for a long time. 284 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,120 <i>They don't know where to go with this investigation</i> 285 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,720 until Crime Stoppers and Cleveland Fire Department 286 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,520 offer a reward for information leading 287 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,960 <i>to whoever it was that killed Lieutenant William Walker.</i> 288 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,120 We sincerely hope that someone 289 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,400 will step forward and provide some information 290 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,120 to solve these senseless crimes. 291 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,440 <i>And eventually, what the knocking on doors</i> 292 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,520 <i>and handing out flyers did was,</i> 293 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,480 I actually received a call 294 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,640 that had some information about the shooting. 295 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840 As a result of that, a person comes forward 296 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,160 and says he's been hearing that someone's been 297 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,400 asking around to find a hit man to kill William Walker. 298 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,520 <i>They gave a name:</i> 299 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,960 Chad Padgett. 300 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,280 And Chad Padgett is the boyfriend of Uloma's daughter. 301 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,920 They weren't sure if Chad was the actual shooter, 302 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,800 but they knew that Chad was involved in the shooting. 303 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,280 <i>Uloma had a daughter from a previous marriage</i> 304 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,040 who was dating a Chad Padgett. 305 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,880 They were living in the same home 306 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,360 <i>as Lieutenant Walker.</i> 307 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,320 According to him, the night of the murder, 308 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,000 he was on the West Side of Cleveland, 309 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,040 <i>and he was watching a football game.</i> 310 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,000 <i>While looking at his phone records,</i> 311 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,840 we see that he's actually right in the area, 312 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,760 or at least his phone is right in the area 313 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,080 of where the murder occurred. 314 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,280 Investigators found that in the days before the murder, 315 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680 Chad Padgett was sending text messages 316 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,360 <i>asking for a ham or a hammer, which is slang for a gun.</i> 317 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,720 And we also had other numbers that he had been calling 318 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,920 the night of the murder. 319 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440 <i>Of course, his girlfriend's number</i> 320 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,200 <i>is in there, Uloma's daughter.</i> 321 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,080 <i>However, we come up with two new numbers.</i> 322 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,720 <i>We come up with the number for a man</i> 323 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,160 by the name of Christopher Hein. 324 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,320 <i>And we come up with a number for a man</i> 325 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,120 <i>by the name of Ryan Dorty.</i> 326 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,120 Investigators didn't know 327 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,880 which suspects to be looking at. 328 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,880 <i>The phone records came in,</i> 329 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,960 <i>especially the text message records, that then gave them</i> 330 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,560 <i>a clear identity to who the defendants were.</i> 331 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,960 As a matter of fact, Ryan Dorty was in jail. 332 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,720 <i>Ryan Dorty is already a convicted criminal</i> 333 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,640 serving 15 years for an unrelated robbery. 334 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,600 Dorty was low-functioning, had a large criminal record. 335 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,240 <i>A violent individual, but someone who I don't think</i> 336 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,520 <i>had the intellectual capacity to really</i> 337 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,040 realize the depth and impact of what he was doing. 338 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,880 Of course, he doesn't want to tell us anything. 339 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,840 A major portion of this case was the cell phone records. 340 00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,400 <i>We knew that Christopher Hein,</i> 341 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,200 <i>he supplied the gun in this case.</i> 342 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,160 <i>We could see from his text messages</i> 343 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,680 <i>that he had bought and sold and was involved</i> 344 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,880 <i>in dealing with firearms.</i> 345 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,200 So what are we thinking now? 346 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,600 <i>That someone hires Chad Padgett</i> 347 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,400 <i>to kill William Walker.</i> 348 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,840 <i>So Chad Padgett doesn't want to kill him,</i> 349 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,640 so he gets ahold of Christopher Hein. 350 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,720 <i>He's able to get guns.</i> 351 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,520 <i>Christopher Hein gets ahold of Ryan Dorty.</i> 352 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Ryan Dorty decides he'll be more than happy 353 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,920 to kill William Walker. 354 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,680 So, Chad Padgett, we arrest him after his interview. 355 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,520 Police get a DNA sample from Chad Padgett, 356 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:24,320 and it turns out to be a direct match to the shell casings 357 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,840 found in the Walkers' yard. 358 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,080 So we know now that Chad Padgett had handled 359 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,760 the rounds that went into the gun that 360 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,640 had killed William Walker. 361 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,360 We finally are able to speak with Uloma's daughter. 362 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,760 She wants to come in and give us some information, 363 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,800 and she wants to cooperate. 364 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,320 And she actually is willing to take a polygraph test. 365 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,000 Police interview Uloma's daughter. 366 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,040 At the time of the murder, she was only 17 years old. 367 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,880 It's typical protocol to not name minors 368 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080 <i>unless they're being charged as an adult.</i> 369 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240 <i>And to have all this attention being brought on you</i> 370 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:32,520 <i>could be very difficult for a teenager.</i> 371 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,160 And during the polygraph and the information she provided, 372 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,200 she tells us the story of what actually went on. 373 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,320 <i>Her mother, Uloma, actually wants William Walker dead.</i> 374 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,360 She talks to her daughter and asks if she has anybody 375 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,080 that would kill William Walker. 376 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,840 The interviews were key at this point. 377 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,280 Chad Padgett gives us Uloma's name 378 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,040 and tells us that Uloma actually offered him 379 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,840 <i>$10,000 to kill Will.</i> 380 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,520 And Uloma also gave him $160 381 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,080 to purchase a gun from Christopher Hein. 382 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,560 <i>Christopher Hein, he said he's certainly not</i> 383 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,280 going to kill William Walker. 384 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,200 So now they got to find somebody else. 385 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600 Christopher Hein gets ahold of Ryan Dorty. 386 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,200 <i>Ryan Dorty decides he'll be more than happy</i> 387 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,440 <i>to kill William Walker.</i> 388 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,240 They decide they're going to do this 389 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,680 on November 3rd of 2013. 390 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:42,160 <i>She tells us that her mother wanted William Walker dead.</i> 391 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,160 And she wanted him dead for the insurance money. 392 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,560 What we learned is that on the night of November 3, 2013, 393 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560 Uloma had sent William out to go get some fast food 394 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,040 at a local restaurant. 395 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280 <i>While he was gone, she told Padgett</i> 396 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,680 <i>to get ready to commit the murder.</i> 397 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,120 And that's when Dorty shot him four times in the chest. 398 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,960 One message sent after the murder said, we got a body. 399 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,400 Next, police subpoena Uloma Walker's cell phone 400 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,600 <i>and her financial records.</i> 401 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,120 And they find out that she's in deep financial trouble. 402 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,160 <i>And one of the big reasons</i> 403 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,480 was because she ran up a lot of credit card debt 404 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,840 and she needed money to pay off her credit cards. 405 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,120 <i>William Walker, we believe, had the understanding</i> 406 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,360 <i>that they had more money than they actually had,</i> 407 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,240 <i>and wasn't aware of, necessarily, all of the debt</i> 408 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,400 <i>that Uloma had brought into this marriage</i> 409 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,240 <i>and then accumulated in the short time</i> 410 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,040 <i>since they had been married.</i> 411 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,400 Uloma was in this real tough spot with a brand new house, 412 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,040 <i>and she was going to have to tell</i> 413 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,080 <i>Lieutenant Walker that they--</i> 414 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,680 <i>they financially couldn't afford it,</i> 415 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,440 <i>that they couldn't stay in it.</i> 416 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:26,600 She knows that Will has a $100,000 life insurance policy. 417 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,200 <i>She believed that there was a large insurance policy</i> 418 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880 that she would get paid out on, and then she would be able 419 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,560 to give Mr. Padgett a cut in that. 420 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,240 <i>So she comes up with a plan</i> 421 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,000 that she's going to kill William Walker. 422 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,720 All this information that we hear about Uloma, we think, 423 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,680 we have a monster here. 424 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960 <i>Uloma's daughter was only 17 years old.</i> 425 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,840 <i>She was a juvenile.</i> 426 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,800 <i>There's manipulation involved.</i> 427 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,880 The mother manipulates her and manipulates, 428 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,720 you know, anyone else she can in this case to get-- 429 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,080 she had a goal. 430 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,800 We also found out that Uloma didn't have cancer. 431 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,840 <i>This whole thing was a ruse from the start.</i> 432 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,200 <i>From everything the evidence showed us,</i> 433 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,600 <i>she didn't appear to have breast cancer.</i> 434 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,040 <i>She wasn't treated for any of that.</i> 435 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,960 And he seemed to believe that she did. 436 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,640 At least that's what he had told co-workers and friends. 437 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,280 <i>He rescues Uloma, thinking she's dying</i> 438 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,800 <i>or maybe dying of breast cancer.</i> 439 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,160 And how she repays him is by taking his life for money. 440 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,800 <i>So of course, we bring Uloma in.</i> 441 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,560 She does an interview. 442 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,200 Okay. 443 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,440 She refused to admit any wrongdoing or any involvement. 444 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,040 And with all the information and evidence that we had, 445 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,800 <i>we decide to charge Uloma and arrest her that day.</i> 446 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,960 <i>We had no idea what actually went down there</i> 447 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,400 until the story broke. 448 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,840 And when that story broke, it was huge. 449 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,280 It was huge. It took my breath away. 450 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,920 <i>Who would have ever thought it was her?</i> 451 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,920 <i>Nobody did. Nobody had an inkling.</i> 452 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,400 It was heart-stopping. 453 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,400 She was very stoic and didn't appear 454 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,160 to be someone who was charged in her husband's murder. 455 00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,960 <i>Her defense was that she had nothing to do with this.</i> 456 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,440 <i>These were these kids, these young adults</i> 457 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,720 <i>that did not like how strict Lieutenant Walker was.</i> 458 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,320 They didn't like how he was controlling her. 459 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,760 And they wanted him gone. 460 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,000 And they used their friends to gun him down, 461 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,760 and that it was their whole orchestrated event 462 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,320 <i>that did this, that Uloma had nothing to do with that.</i> 463 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,760 We had been working on essentially five defendants 464 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,640 and slowly getting statements from them, 465 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,240 and then working out plea negotiations. 466 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,440 Padgett, Hein, Dorty and Uloma's daughter each agree 467 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,800 to take plea deals in return for testifying against Uloma. 468 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,760 <i>Padgett is sentenced to 28 years,</i> 469 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,480 <i>Dorty gets 23 years,</i> 470 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,080 <i>and Hein is sentenced to 18 years.</i> 471 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,320 <i>Uloma's daughter is sentenced to one month</i> 472 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,080 <i>in juvenile detention.</i> 473 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,000 So going into the trial, we had just one defendant 474 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,400 that we were trying, Uloma Curry-Walker. 475 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,480 <i>All four defendants testified against her at trial.</i> 476 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880 And so that was part of the plea negotiations prior to, 477 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,720 <i>was we wanted that testimony.</i> 478 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,280 <i>The courtroom was filled daily with family members.</i> 479 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,160 And then someone from the Cleveland Fire Department 480 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,400 <i>was in that courtroom for everything.</i> 481 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,240 The prosecution argues that Uloma was motivated by greed. 482 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,920 <i>What did she have to gain here?</i> 483 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,440 <i>She was in this financial trouble,</i> 484 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,920 <i>that she thought that she was getting this large payout.</i> 485 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,000 <i>And it made sense that she had a reason</i> 486 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,160 <i>to have Lieutenant Walker killed.</i> 487 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,560 She would then be able to get out of the debt that she had, 488 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,880 live in this nice new home they had purchased, 489 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,080 <i>and be rid of Lieutenant Walker.</i> 490 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,280 <i>These were these kids.</i> 491 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040 <i>They weren't the criminals</i> 492 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,160 <i>that were just gunning people down</i> 493 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,480 who they didn't like. 494 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,840 That wasn't in their criminal history, 495 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,520 <i>and it didn't appear to be in their character.</i> 496 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,960 The trial lasts for just about two weeks. 497 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,800 <i>And it takes jurors all of two hours to reach their decision.</i> 498 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,440 It's the first time Uloma Curry-Walker has shown 499 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,680 any emotion, but she breaks into tears 500 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,440 when the jurors announce their verdict. 501 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,040 <i>Uloma Walker was sentenced to life</i> 502 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,760 <i>without the possibility of parole,</i> 503 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:26,000 which was the best thing that could have happened 504 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,080 for us and all the hard work that was done. 505 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,880 It doesn't bring back William Walker, 506 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,680 <i>but Uloma Walker will never see the light of day again.</i> 507 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,720 <i>What we now know actually happened in this case.</i> 508 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,200 Chad Padgett and Ryan Dorty get out of the vehicle. 509 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Ryan Dorty goes to the back of the house... 510 00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:00,720 <i>And sits and waits for William Walker to come home.</i> 511 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:06,120 <i>Chad Padgett had already been contacted by Uloma,</i> 512 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,560 basically given some sort of a code saying 513 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,080 that William Walker had left and went to the restaurant 514 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,840 <i>to pick up food.</i> 515 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,880 <i>With Ryan Dorty in the back of the house,</i> 516 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,560 <i>Chad Padgett down the street in the alley,</i> 517 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,320 <i>William Walker pulls into the drive and gets out of his car,</i> 518 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,880 <i>goes up to put the keys in the door to open the door</i> 519 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,880 <i>with the food in his hand.</i> 520 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,440 <i>Ryan Dorty comes from behind the garbage cans at the back</i> 521 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,280 of the house, confronts William Walker, shoots four times, 522 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,480 and hits William Walker with all four shots. 523 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,320 <i>The food drops to the ground.</i> 524 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,040 <i>William Walker drops to the ground.</i> 525 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,800 <i>Ryan Dorty runs up to William Walker,</i> 526 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,400 <i>goes through his pockets to make it look like a robbery</i> 527 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,240 <i>and leaves the scene.</i> 528 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,960 <i>So at this time, Uloma believes</i> 529 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,280 <i>that her dream has come true.</i> 530 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,040 <i>And now that William Walker is dead,</i> 531 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,600 she'll be able to get out of financial debt 532 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,600 and she'll be able to move on with her life 533 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:06,520 with an extra pocketful of money. 534 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,640 That someone is able to plan this murder, it's unimaginable. 535 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,680 <i>She had a plan from start to finish.</i> 536 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,560 <i>To us, she's nothing but a monster.</i> 537 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,920 Just so rare that you see a female defendant 538 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,920 for a murder-for-hire, for something, like, 539 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,120 just for money, money issues that were not 540 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,240 insurmountable money issues. 541 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,920 <i>There was a wrinkle in Uloma Curry-Walker's plan.</i> 542 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,800 <i>She was doing all of this to get her hands</i> 543 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,360 <i>on Will Walker's $100,000 life insurance policy.</i> 544 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,120 What she didn't realize was, she and Will 545 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,040 had only been married for four months. 546 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,960 Will hadn't had a chance to change 547 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,720 his life insurance policy. 548 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,040 <i>So the beneficiary on that $100,000 life insurance policy</i> 549 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,840 was actually Will's ex-wife, Rita. 550 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,280 <i>It was one of the greatest losses</i> 551 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,360 that I can recall in my career on the job. 552 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,400 Working in such close proximity with him every day 553 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,160 was the ticket. 554 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,640 You know, just the closeness that you felt with him. 555 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,280 <i>And he would just--you know,</i> 556 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,320 <i>we had desks that were less than two feet apart,</i> 557 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,120 <i>and we were that close to each other.</i> 558 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,640 <i>And he would mumble something under his breath,</i> 559 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,680 and I would hear it, and it would just crack me up. 560 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,560 He is--he was--he's just one of those guys 561 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,480 that he's just--the character he was could laugh. 562 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,800 He'd have me howling, laughing so hard. 563 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,120 We were in our office one day and we're dancing. 564 00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:43,920 We're salsa dancing together,
