Cops Discover Motel Room Filled With Serial Killer's Bodies

Might. not be nobody standing in these. We. >> check it. There's no one outside. >> Georgia police officers are in the. middle of hunting down a deranged mass. killer who's been terrorizing the public. for days. Just inches away behind this. very door stands the murderer they're. searching for. Surrounded by the bodies. of his latest victims. >> If there is something here, right there. was guns. They should have heard.

something. Somebody probably hide on me. in here or something. >> As officers leave the area, it will be. days before anyone discovers the. gruesome scene left behind that door. And as the manhunt expands across the. city of Nunan, the killer's reign of. terror continues, marking one of the. deadliest killing sprees in the city's. history. >> Who got shot? >> WHO SHOT HIM? >> WHO SHOT HIM? >> We can't Who did this? If nobody tells. us or works with us.

>> POLICE DEPARTMENT. ANYBODY OUTSIDE? COME. OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. >> HELLO. >> Holy. It's just before 8:00 p.m. on East Broad. Street in Nunan, Georgia. 38-year-old. William and his friend, 43-year-old. Kevin, are sitting on the front porch of. Kevin's house, enjoying a couple of. beers and chatting as the evening winds. down. The neighborhood is quiet, and.

neither Kevin nor William have any idea. what's about to happen in just a few. minutes. Because at this very moment, an. armed man is making his way towards the. house. He's been planning for months and. tonight he's about to put his deadly. plan into motion. >> 62, where's your emergency. street? My boyfriend's been shot. multiple times. He's bleeding out. through the abdomen. Okay. I mean, he's. coming unresponsive.

>> Who shot him? >> I don't know. >> How many times shot? >> I DON'T KNOW. I DROPPED SIX GUNSHOTS. I. DON'T KNOW. I can't see. I don't want to. move him. >> Can I look? >> Is he still breathing? Yes, she's still. a little bit. Yes. >> Okay. >> Is he conscious now? >> His eyes are open and he's he's making. noises, but he's he's saving. >> Upon receiving this alarming call, officers rush towards the scene. At the. same time, the shooter's job is far from. finished, and this is only the beginning.

of his deadly killing spree. Something. police will soon begin to realize as. officers make their way towards the. gruesome scene left behind. All. right, I need crime scene tape up. I. need C in route. Go ahead and cancel. anybody else in route over here. Uh, start combing the area. I'll get you a. bolo here in just a second.

>> Where's the other one? >> Up here. There's one there. One up here. >> All right. Oh my god. Is there. >> Okay, I'm going to call the homeowner. >> I'm going call the homeowner. >> We need to clear the inside. Ma'am, I. need you to step outside. >> I was going in here in the blood. >> That's fine. I need you outside. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. >> Step down here, please. >> Yes, sir. There's a bullet right there. >> That's fine. >> Step out there. >> Down here. Come here. Come here. >> When police finally arrive, the.

situation is far worse than they. thought. Two men are suffering from. multiple gunshot wounds. And as officers. check for signs of life, they discover. one of the victims still has a pulse. So. their attention immediately splits. While some begin fighting to keep him. alive, others prepare to clear the. house. Because as officers will soon. come to realize, whatever the killer. intended to accomplish tonight, he's. only getting started. >> Ready.

>> Police department. >> 23. Clearing. >> res33. >> I'm HOLDING HERE. >> POLICE DEPARTMENT. ANYBODY INSIDE? COME. OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. >> Anybody else inside THIS RESIDENCE? COME. OUT with your hands up. >> Clear. >> Got a room here to the left. I'm going. to the right. >> Holding lid. Don't work right. >> Clear here.

It's clear. >> We're with you. Go forward. >> What's up with me? Bathroom. >> J. Anybody in here? New PD. >> Go ahead and step in. Clear that. Make. sure there's nobody behind the door. I'm with you. Can you go in? >> Bathroom. Clear. >> I can come in. >> Clear. >> All right. Clear. Coming out. >> All right. I need everybody outside. >> Yep. >> We'll hold this for C. With the house. cleared, officers moved to deal with a.

much more immediate problem. Keeping the. surviving victim alive long enough so. they can learn the shooter's identity. >> Who is this? >> That is Willie. >> Willie. >> Willie. >> Willy. >> Yes. >> Willie. Willie. >> Willie. You got a pulse or. >> I've been trying to check. He his head. will move. >> but I can't feel it in his wrist. anymore. >> Willie.

>> Willie. Willie. >> Willie. 109 on the porch is this guy? >> Yeah, pretty sure. >> Check his pulse. >> I'm trying to find it. I. >> I didn't get it in his wrist. He moved. his head one time but I haven't seen him. move since. >> Pull him completely over. >> I don't feel one. >> Willie. Willie. Willie, >> were they standing right there? >> Yeah, I don't feel I don't feel it. anymore. One right there.

>> Despite the officer's constant attempts. to save him, the man eventually loses. his pulse, turning what began as a. shooting investigation into a double. homicide. And while officers still know. very little about what happened, they do. learn one important detail during the. chaos. A woman at the scene identifies. one of the victims as William. Believing. she may know more about the men and what. happened in the moments leading up to. the shooting, officers bring her over to. a patrol car for questioning. And what.

she's about to tell them will give. police a solid lead, but one that will. come at a cost they never could have. anticipated. >> What's your name, ma'am? >> Sher Lyn Hayes. >> Can you tell me what happened tonight? >> Okay. We've been How's their birthday? Everything people coming and going. >> Hang on. I'm at Tal's birthday. >> Today's Tal's birthday. >> Okay. >> Okay. People have been coming visiting. Mr. Busy's been there four times today. >> Who's Mr. Busy? >> The black man. The black man. >> Willie Busy. >> Willie Busy. Yes, sir. My boyfriend.

Kevin. >> Kevin. >> is a white victim. Robins. R O B I N S. To the door, our bedroom door off the. hinges and took it on the back porch to. work on it. 10 15 minutes after he went. outside, Mr. Busy come in and asked if. he could charge his phone. So then he. gave you the phone and he walked out on. the back porch with Kevin. >> Yes. And then about 2 minutes within 2. minutes first gunshot I heard there was. a sound and then it's like five or six. more. It's like just boom boom boom. boom. And I heard Kevin my boyfriend hit. the door and I ran outside and they. locked the door. I said no. Somebody's. been shot.

>> Do you know if Kevin or Willie were. having a beef with anybody? >> Kevin doesn't really have a beef with. anybody. Um Riley Holly. He came by the. other night and wasn't allowed in and he. was yelling through the door, I'm gonna. get you. You don't run this. And Kevin. came said, "Well, tonight I do cuz. that's what we were told to do. Certain. people are not allowed on the property.". And Riley Holloway has a criminal. trespass and he's bad news. That's the. only. >> You came by yesterday. He said. >> last. Yes. Last night. >> According to Sherry, a man named Riley. Holloway had come to the house just days.

earlier, gotten into a heated argument. with Kevin, and even threatened him. And. as officers question other witnesses, they begin to uncover what may have. sparked the confrontation. There had. been a dispute over stolen property. William was accused of stealing bikes. from Riley, and witnesses say he had. even sold one to Kevin. So, investigators begin looking into both. victims, searching for anything in their. backgrounds that might support these. claims. Kevin's history gives them very. little to work with. William, however,

has a much longer history with law. enforcement, including theft and. drugrelated offenses. And while none of. this proves Riley was responsible, investigators now have a working theory. Kevin and William may have been killed. in retaliation over the stolen property. Adding to their suspicions, investigators discover that Riley also. has an outstanding arrest warrant for a. probation violation. So, with a possible. motive, a history of threats, and an. active warrant, officers now have.

several reasons to track Riley down and. question him. However, over the coming. days, Kevin and Williams murders will. prove to be just the beginning of one of. the deadliest killing sprees Nan has. ever seen. >> Unless I mistakenly beat the hell out of. somebody and hit them in the head wrong. way and they die, not dang. >> We can't find who did this if nobody. tells us or works with us. >> Come on, everybody. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up.

>> Holy. >> As the night wears on, investigators. continue processing the property. Across. the driveway and nearby grass, they. recover 11 spent Winchester 9mm shell. casings, evidence of the barrage of. gunfire described by witnesses, and the. multiple wounds suffered by both. victims. For now, the casings reveal. little about what actually happened. here, but over the next few days, they. would become one of the most important. links in the entire investigation.

Crucially, CCTV footage uncovered later. will introduce a major twist in the. investigation, one that will ultimately. help police save countless lives.

Kevin and William murdered, 911 receives. another report of gunfire. This time. from a local motel just 6 minutes from. the first crime scene where guests claim. they heard several shots coming from the. room directly beneath them. And with.

Riley already emerging as a suspect in. the double homicide, detectives can't. ignore the timing or proximity of this. new call. to them. It raises an alarming. possibility that this could be another. attack connected to the first shooting, potentially involving the same suspect. Several minutes later, officers arrive. at the motel to investigate. And as they. approach the room, the mass killer. they're searching for is just a few feet. away from them.

>> Check it. There's no one. That one. >> Only one brought me in for the. >> There's only one call that came through. the sheriff's office. >> Ain't nobody coming to this one. >> I'm trying to make contact with this. See if they heard something. >> Came from here, >> right? But that's what was done. They. should have heard something. >> They ain't trying. >> Guy and a girl sitting in the corner.

over there. They said they've been a. dude. >> Oh, you talking about in the wrangle? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They probably waiting for the. check in. >> Somebody probably All right, man. Hearing something. >> Hey, sorry to wake you up, man. >> You hear any gunshots or any loud pops. upstairs about what. you about? How long ago? >> Probably.

>> Okay. All right. You said right upstairs. above you. 30 minutes. >> Okay. All right, man. We appreciate you. Yep. Sorry for waking you up. >> Say about 30 minutes upstairs. >> As officers continue questioning the. guests, they can't find anything that. immediately suggests a shooting has. taken place. There's no panic, no. obvious commotion, and nothing outside. that points them towards another crime. scene. So, after checking the area and. finding nothing immediately concerning,

they begin preparing to leave. But as. they make their way back towards the. cruiser, they pass directly by room 117. Behind that door are three dead bodies. And the man responsible is hiding among. them and listening to the officer's. conversations. And as they leave what. seems like an uneventful report of. gunfire, they have no idea just how. serious what they've missed is about to. become. Because before officers ever.

discover what happened inside that room, the killer will claim his next victim. By now, investigators attention has. narrowed to one man, Riley Holloway. His. name has come up repeatedly in. connection with Kevin and William. Witnesses have told police about the. stolen bicycles, the arguments that. followed, and threats Riley allegedly. made towards Kevin. Taken together, it. makes Riley the person detectives most.

urgently need to find. But before. officers can track him down, Riley makes. the first move. Rather than wait for. detectives to come looking for him, he. just walks into the police station. himself, asking to speak with officers. And at this point, detectives believe. they've got their killer. But once Riley. starts talking, they begin to realize. this investigation may have sent them on. a wild goose chase. >> But just for just for the recording. sake, your name is Riley Holloway.

>> Riley Hollywood. >> This is just a conversation. What I'm. doing is I'm following up on on some. information. I guess you know what. happened now. >> Yeah. I mean, I still don't know what. happened. I know what they're saying. >> But what do you know what they're. saying? Let's just go with that. They. just tell me somebody walked up, knocked. on the door and went to shoot him. They. end up shooting uh Jim Bug and and and. um the white guy.

>> You know the white guy. I know him. I'm. second. I get it. I understand. >> Yeah. Next thing I know, they saying I'm. the one doing this shooting. I ain't. been on that side of town that day, period. >> Yeah. And I told him, "You can pull. every damn video you got from Bull. Barrow Drive, from uh Racetrack all the. way up to damn KFC and Motel, all in. between there." This is me all day that. long. I haven't been on that side of the. time. >> Right. Right. >> Me, of course, let's not mistakenly beat.

the hell out of somebody and hit them in. the head the wrong way and they died. Not bad. Me shooting somebody. No, >> you a couple. >> Well, you old school. Yeah, that's all. I'm seeing you can. Let me see. Yeah. >> Despite all the suspicion surrounding. Riley, the interview doesn't give. detectives the breakthrough they were. expecting. He admits there had been. conflict between him and the victims, acknowledges threatening Kevin, and.

provides a complete timeline of his. movements that day. He even agrees to. have his hands tested for gunshot. residue, all while continuing to deny. any involvement in the murders. With. that in mind, detectives move to compare. his account against surveillance. footage, witness accounts, and the. forensic evidence still being processed. At the same time, elsewhere in Nunan. City, the real killer is still working. his way through his hit list, and he's. already headed towards his next target.

>> County 911, operator 77, what is your. emergency? Okay. All right. I can't hear. you. Okay, you got to stop screaming, Kevin. Okay. What happened? >> Somebody got shot in that room. >> Somebody just. >> Okay. All right. Where are you? Where are you? >> Upon hearing this, dispatch immediately. sends officers racing towards the scene.

of Nunan's third reported shooting in. less than 48 hours. And what awaits them. is another chaotic scene. But somehow it. will finally give investigators the lead. they've been chasing. >> We're going to use it to block off the. uh here traffic. >> Let's go ahead and uh start moving. people back. Start throwing tape up. >> Okay.

Okay, everybody get back. Okay, everybody get back on the sidewalk. Okay, just get up on the sidewalk. Get. up on the sidewalk. >> Get up on the sidewalk. >> Can you get up on the sidewalk? >> Hold on. >> Okay, everybody get back up on the. sidewalk. Back up on the sidewalk. >> Come on, everybody. Back up. Back up.

Back up. Back up. >> Back up. Please back up. 92 myself. The yellow tape. Go through the yellow. tape. Fair enough. >> Yep. I want you to walk each car. anymore. >> Go past the yellow Just for now. Just. walk past that yellow tape for me. Pass. that yellow tape right now. That's all. I'm asking. Pass that yellow tape.

He got hit by a car. >> He got shot. >> WHO SHOT HIM? >> WHO SHOT? WHAT? >> 143. >> As officers work through the chaos, 39year-old Warner Parks lies. unresponsive in the parking lot, suffering from two gunshot wounds to the. chest. As medics arrive and rush Warner.

to the hospital, officers turn their. attention to the people still gathered. at the scene. With so many potential. witnesses, finding someone who saw the. shooting should be straightforward. But. getting anyone to actually talk is about. to prove far more difficult than they. expected. I know it's I know it's a shot in the. dark right now, but anybody that's. willing to talk and get their. information.

>> nobody saw anybody. >> really. >> tell uh Detective Sergeant Condet. Hey. buddy, real quick. >> Um Hang on. >> What's name real quick? So we got to. have the crime scene integrity thing. Once you go past that tape, >> that's just you've been inside the crime. scene. That's why we put the tape up. >> Here's the thing. I know people hate. cops. I know that we're not exactly the.

most favorite. We still show up. We. still do what we can. If you hear. anything, listen for one second. We. can't Who did this? If nobody tells us. or works with us, been doing this for 22. years. That's a friend of mine. I just I just. pulled up. I haven't heard about it. >> Do me a favor. I know it's going to get. crazy in here tonight. >> You and I are about almost the same age. I think I'm four years older than you. Don't let people do stuff that.

>> Okay. You don't do anything. You said. that's your friend. I understand. >> And when I say I understand, I do. >> All right. Um, just just give it to C. >> How y'all doing? >> Okay. So, there was a somebody described. a white female in black pants. >> They were. >> they were black pants on, but it was me. I was walking with them.

>> You were walking with them? >> Yeah. I asked him to take trash out, you. know, when he comes by. Sometimes I, you. know, ask him take some trash out for me. if I ask him. >> And we're we're talking about uh Mandro, right? >> Mandro. Yes. That's correct. And then I. I went to the mailbox to check my mail. and we was walking back together and he. was talking. We were talking and about. that time that car this car just pulled. up and I mean I didn't even see it to. begin with until. >> but he stopped the car and he he shot. him twice. >> Okay. >> And then about then Mandrel turned. around and when he did he hit the he. ground of course and.

>> he shoot him in the back. >> I don't I don't know. That's what I'm. saying. I don't know. I don't know if. Mandre saw him. It happened so fast. I. don't. >> Okay. >> I don't know. And the guy, I mean, I. didn't even see his face. I mean, he he. had something like a mask or something, but. >> it was real thick across his face, like. maybe like a hunting thing or something, maybe. >> Was it black male, white male? >> I can't couldn't tell you. I thought it. was maybe black or Mexican. >> Okay. >> I really don't know. I It happened so. fast. >> Okay. What kind of car was it? >> I don't know.

>> All I know is I think it was gray. That's the only thing that I can tell. you. While officers work to contain the. scene, they uncover something. significant. Only a few feet from the. victim, identified as 39-year-old Warner. Parks, investigators recover three spent. 9 millm shell casings. Significantly, they're the same caliber as the 11. casings collected from Kevin and. Williams murder scene two nights. earlier. This raises a disturbing. possibility. These may not be isolated.

shootings, but part of a larger killing. spree that's still unfolding. The timing. also creates a serious problem with the. theory investigators had been building. around Riley. He's currently in custody, making it impossible for him to have. carried out this latest attack. For the. first time, investigators begin. wondering whether they've been focused. on the wrong person all along. A. question that's about to be answered. when an unexpected witness approaches.

police. >> Hey, Sergeant. >> down there. I can pick him up and see. what kind of shell casing these are. >> Don't know, but they got they got him. down there. >> I got a 10-year-old boy that says he saw. everything. Said he saw the whole thing. happen. His mom's going to get them now. >> Okay. >> Yeah. She said she didn't want to bring. him out here and all this, but then she. said, "It doesn't matter. I'll bring. them out to you. So, I told her just to. hang out. We'll bring them. >> Okay. All right.

>> This family, come on over here, folks. >> That was about to pull out. So, >> okay. >> Who do I have to your sister? >> That's the uncle. >> You're the uncle. What's your name? >> Antoine. Okay. >> Your cousin Mary. Appreciate. >> appreciate. Okay. >> Big eye. >> What' you see, little man? Talk to you.

>> Pull out the gun. in a car. >> What the car look like? >> Two door. >> I don't know what comes. >> Was it dark or light? Dark color. Light. color. Light color. Two door. That big. that big. Yeah. Um, I appreciate you telling us that, man. That's how we fix stuff. Hey, hey, man. How How do you know Nick?

Yeah, we know him. >> You just seen him being around. Them. kids know he be open. >> Everybody knows Nick. >> Yeah, everybody know. >> But I know everybody know Nick, but. everybody know. the DA's office. We're just trying. We. just want to make sure to establish. This is the man who probably just want. to be able to establish his background. and so it's not just he heard from. somebody else heard from somebody else. >> He seen what he seen what happened. >> I understand and I I appreciate that. That helps tremendous.

>> According to the boy, the man who shot. Warner is 38-year-old Nicholas Nelson, a. name several people at the scene. immediately recognize. And when officers. look into his background, they discover. Nicholas is no stranger to law. enforcement, having previously been. convicted of a felony. With his identity. now established, officers issue a bolo. and begin searching the area for him. But while the hunt for a mass killer is. now underway, the full trail of bodies.

he's left behind has yet to be. uncovered. Something that will change. the very next day. County 911. Operator 7, where is your. emergency? >> Ma'am, I'm going to need you to slow. down. Tell me what happened. >> Where are you? Is the person still. breathing? >> Motel 6. Yeah.

Strangely, this 911 call brings deputies. back to the same Motel 6 where they had. responded to reports of gunfire two. nights earlier. Only this time, a woman. is claiming her daughter is dead inside. one of the rooms. And when deputies. finally return to the room they passed. two nights earlier, they're about to. discover the heinous scene that had been. sitting behind that door the entire. time.

Y'all, y'all the ones that called? Okay. Do you have a room key or anything? No. >> Get that key. Open up the door right. now. Calm down. Calm down. What's her name? >> It's in this lady room name. >> That's the name. >> But what's your daughter? What's your. daughter? >> Tangela Molden. >> Tangela Molden. >> Yeah, that's her name. >> M O L D E N. >> What's her boyfriend's name? >> What Mike name? Mike. Oh, lame.

>> Mike lame. >> Mike Lane. >> Tangela. >> Monty. What. >> did you say? Mike what? >> Lane. Yes, sir. >> Can I get a key for 117? >> I've got the room key now. I'm about to. make entry. Just stand back over there for me. Stand. back over there.

>> Hello. >> Please let me go in. No, >> let me go in. >> I know. >> 55 143. Let me get you to respond. >> No. I'M TALKING TO YOU. GO AHEAD AND RESPOND. >> Notify C.

>> North side. >> Well, I opened the door and saw one and. I didn't go in any further. I was. waiting on waiting on another unit. Okay, we got to stop.

>> There's one there and two over there. Or. no, one there. Thanks for bath. >> Two gloves. >> Okay, thanks. Sorry. >> They've been down a minute, too. >> You don't? Yep. There's one there. >> Yep. That's That's going to be them. >> Back up.

>> Do what? >> Back up. >> Yeah, I just stepped on a shell. >> Okay. >> I didn't see it originally. >> I got God. There's three shells over. here. As deputies finally enter room 117, they. find the bodies of Monty James Ballard, Tangela Molden, and Michael Lang. All. three have suffered multiple gunshot. wounds and appear to have been dead for. days. And when they take a closer look,

they discover something strangely. familiar. several spent 9mm shell. casings, the same caliber recovered from. Kevin and Williams murders, as well as. Warner Park's shooting just the day. before. But then investigators turn. their attention to the motel. surveillance footage and see something. interesting. As investigators review the motel's. surveillance footage, they spot a man. wearing a dark hoodie parking a light. brown Crown Victoria before entering.

room 117. And when they compare the. vehicle to Nicholas Nelson's car, they. discover it matches the same make, model, and color. But the evidence. doesn't stop there, because when the. forensic results come back, ballistic. testing confirms that the shell casings. recovered from all three murder scenes. were fired from the same gun. With six. people now brutally murdered and the. evidence putting Nicholas at the center. of it all, investigators now have one.

urgent priority. Make sure to put an end. to his killing spree. By now, the search for Nicholas has. taken an unbelievably fortunate turn. While searching for Nicholas, police. receive word that his distinctive crown. Victoria has been spotted at a nearby. motel. Officers are quickly dispatched. to the location to investigate. Where do you want that pin? >> I guess that's a crown big, huh?

>> As officers locate Nicholas's Crown. Victoria, they notice something that. immediately catches their attention. The. car has distinctive damage to its front. passenger side, matching the vehicle. captured on surveillance near one of the. murder scenes. And after searching it, they recover a black face mask, a pair. of gloves, and live 9mm ammunition. But. as they work on securing the vehicle, one of the officers spots a very. familiar face walking through the. parking lot.

>> Feet wide. Spread them wide. Careful. >> Yeah. All the way. There you go. >> Nicholas is quickly detained without. incident and brought into the Nunan. police station for questioning. But. getting Nicholas into an interview room. is only the beginning. By now, investigators are dealing with six. murders across three different crime. scenes with the evidence increasingly. pointing towards Nicholas. But even with. everything they've uncovered, building a. case strong enough to put him away for. good could take months, especially.

without a confession. And a confession. wouldn't just strengthen their case. It. could also finally explain why he. targeted these people in the first. place. So, as Nicholas sits down across. from detectives, the pressure is on to. get him talking. But Nicholas isn't. about to make their job easy. >> Let me Let me Let me move the cuff. around you. Okay. >> Yeah, >> maybe a little a little bit easier and a. little less painful. I know how these things can pinch.

sometimes. All right. Tell me about your evening, Nicholas. Been at hotel. eating a little bit. Um, Walmart. >> Which hotel you been at? >> The Red River in. >> Red Roof in? >> Yes, sir. >> Been there all night? >> Yes, sir. >> So, you ain't been to Eastgate today.

So, why is everybody telling me you've. been in Eastgate today? I don't know why. I have no idea. I mean that people always saying Nick. about something. You know what I'm. saying? >> Why would people always say something. about Nick? >> They do that. I don't know. I have no. idea if I I. >> You say you ain't got no bait for. nobody. >> I don't I don't but that don't make. people like you. >> Mr. Nelson, my name is Matthew Swope. I'm one of the ADAs. I'm the liazison.

ADA to the Newton Police Department. So. I help them out a bunch. I'm over here a. whole bunch. So, I was going to come in. with Sergeant Condent and just talk to. you a little bit with him. Um, why is your name all of a sudden popping. up in like everybody's mouth tonight? >> I don't know. >> You weren't over there? >> No. Did. >> you cruise through there? >> No. I don't know. I don't know what why they. was. >> You know, uh, Mandro Parks.

>> Yeah, I know Mandro. >> How do you know Mandro? a drug show. When. >> the last time you saw Mandre? >> Probably about. 3 weeks. Three weeks ago at the red. roof. >> You know Mandrel's dead, right? >> I don't I've been like I been over. there. I don't know that. I don't watch. the news. I don't like I don't talk to. people. I don't talk to nobody at all. So I don't Nobody gave me no. information. I had I was asking the.

police and they got me. >> Why is everyone telling us that you. pulled the trigger? >> I don't know. Like I don't know. I. >> You do know. You do know why it's being. said. Come on, man. It. >> When we go in your room, do a search. warrant. >> 320. >> Judge already proved search warrant. We. already know where your room is. Are we going to find a gun? >> No. >> Are we going to find gloves? >> No. You going to find a mask?

>> No. >> You're not lying to me? >> No. >> Then why they already tell me they got. the mask and the gloves in your room? >> I mean, I don't I didn't. >> Look, here's the deal. You were there. It's not a question. I mean, here here's. the thing. This is this isn't a question. to me at this point. >> Just hear me. Hear me out. Hear me out. real quick. This isn't a question at. this point, right? We got a video. >> Okay. We got the video of you coming in. the east gate. We had a video of you.

circling east gate. Right after you pass out of that camera, you see all people alert and there was a. shot and they all go running over there. Less than a minute later, we got your. car hauling ass going around that stop. sign nearly on two wheels, burning the stop sign at MLK. So either one of two things happen.

Either you're covering for somebody. because you lent them your car and. you're having an O moment cuz somebody. lent barred your car and they shot him. or. you shot him. >> I didn't shoot nobody. >> I mean you're telling me you weren't in. Eastgate. You're telling Sergeant Conant. you weren't in Eastgate. >> I bought my car. >> Then how's your car there, man? Why is. the engine warm when the sheriff's. office find if you get get my car? This. a screwdriver my car. Anybody can crank.

my car. Anybody else? >> So why would they take your car and. bring it back? >> I don't know. Like it's a lot of people. standing out. I don't know. I Listen, I. haven't been over there. I ain't done. nothing. Well, I'm telling you, I. haven't been over there. I haven't done. nothing. Like I don't know. Sit tight. just a minute. We'll get you out of here. Um, just so you know, so you know, you are. being placed under arrest and you are.

being charged for murder. Okay. The interview ends without the. confession detectives were hoping for, and Nicholas remains firm that he hasn't. been to Eastgate Apartments, the complex. where Warner was shot. But while. Nicholas is giving detectives his. version of events, another investigator. is reviewing surveillance footage from. in and around East Gate. The footage. shows Nicholas's Crown Victoria entering. the apartment complex area shortly. before Warner is shot, then speeding.

away immediately afterwards. So although. the interview ends without a confession, detectives now have enough for them to. secure an arrest warrant for a Warner's. murder, collect a gunshot residue. sample, and obtain warrants to search. Nicholas's Crown Victoria and his room. at the local motel where he was staying. these last few days. And they make. another important discovery when they. search the place where Nicholas had been. staying. Inside his room, they recover. stolen gold jewelry, while a nearby.

storage closet contains two handguns, including a Taurus 9 mm. Investigators. trace the weapons and jewelry back to a. home invasion on Steeplechase Drive, reported on November 5th, just hours. before William and Kevin were murdered. with the evidence now connecting. Nicholas to all three shootings, detectives secure warrants charging him. with all six murders by November 11th. But despite finally piecing together. what happened, investigators still were.

left with one major question. Why did. Nicholas kill those six people? During a. later interview, Nicholas offers a. disturbing explanation, claiming he had. been hearing voices telling him to kill. Investigators established that Nicholas. knew all six victims and consider. whether substances or personal disputes. may have played a role. Yet, despite. everything they've uncovered, no clear. motive beyond what they already know is.

ever established. More than 2 years. later, in February 2023, Nicholas pleads. guilty to all six murders and a series. of additional charges. During. sentencing, he apologizes to the. victim's families and admits that even. he cannot give a rational explanation. for why he killed them. Instead, pointing to his years of substance use. On November 16th, 2023, Nicholas Martz. Nelson was sentenced to life in prison. without the possibility of parole.
