Girl Discovers Her Grandpa Is A Wanted Killer

Ivan, step out here. Got a warrant for arrest. Yeah. Uh, so it's uh for murder charges. This is 60-year-old. Gowen. She is briefly seen here leaving. this apartment complex with a briefcase. This is the last time she would ever be. seen alive.

911 emergency. So, we're driving down the road to go. shooting and there is a dead body on the. side of the road. Elen's body would be found 13 days after. the last time she was seen on CCTV. Police believe she was entangled in a. deadly love triangle prior to her. murder. But over the course of the next. several months, this cold case would. turn out to be far more complicated.

[music] and even more disturbing than. they could have ever imagined. Me and her broke up. She moved in with a. guy and he tried to mess with her. And all I know was his first name was. Sam. They said we told her it was a bad. deal with him cuz he's telling me if the. cops get behind him, he's going to run. into. 166 advice. It's their grandfather in. the car and he called him saying that. he's possibly going to try to crash the. car.

On February 13th, 2023, Elene Gowen was. seen leaving her longtime job at Sugar's. Diner. She had just told her daughter. over a text message that she was on her. way to pick up some things from her. friend Mike, who she had recently moved. in with after breaking up with her. ex-boyfriend Sam Bremer only a week. earlier. Strangely, she would specify. that her coworker at Sugar's Diner would.

be the one to drive her there. However, as Elen left her workplace, no coworker. would show up. instead. Strangely, her. ex-boyfriend Sam would be the one to. pick her up. Hours would go by, but. Elene would never show back up to. Sugars. The owner of the restaurant, Megan, would begin worrying as to where. Elene could have gone and started. frantically sending her messages asking. for her whereabouts. But oddly, she.

would receive a single message back. saying, "Leave me alone. I'm done. This was very strange coming from Elene. as she almost never texted, usually. resorting to phone calls and was often. extremely responsible. Something strange. was going on. The day would go by and Elene would. never be seen. The following day, Elen's. daughter would file a missing person's.

report for Elene to the Council of. Bluffs Police Department and an. investigation began. Detectives would. begin collecting CCTV footage from. everywhere in the town to try and fully. document where Elene went the day of her. disappearance. But this would be quite. the lengthy process. So without anything. to go by, police would start asking her. family and friends. Apparently, after leaving her. ex-boyfriend Sam Bremer a week earlier, she had stayed with her new friend Mike.

Brockman, a man her family claimed had. likely assaulted her the night before. she disappeared. This shined a. suspicious light on both of the men she. was involved with. So, police would. bring in both Sam and Mike for. interrogation and see if they could find. any leads. Mike was a friend of Alen's. who met her at Sugars and became very. close over time. It was still unclear to. officers what happened to Alene. At this. point, for all they know, she could have.

just gone MIA and taken a break from her. stressful life. However, if anyone would. have the clues as to where she went, it. would be Mike. So basically um I mean as. you know I talked to you on Monday or. Wednesday I guess was the first day I. talked to you. I'd received information. from some of the family that you and. Eileen were possibly in a relationship. or kind of sorish. She may have lived.

with you for a few days or a week or so. But if you could just kind of go before. Monday, just kind of tell us how you. guys know each other, how she ended up. out there in your place, that kind of. thing, and then we'll kind of move from. there. She was a wafers at Sugars and I knew. her from in there and I talked to her. before and stuff like that. Mhm. And then she told me, [snorts]. I don't know, it was like on a Tuesday. or Wednesday [music] night that she got. kicked out and she needed a place to.

stay. That's the way you would stay at. my place for a couple days. I think it. was Friday. She called me and she said, "I won't be. coming back." She says, "We're getting. back together." Her and her boyfriend. Mhm. And all I know is his first name, Sam. I. don't know anything else about him. Okay. And so I didn't see her. And then she. called me crying on that Saturday night. And she says, "Oh, we got into can I. come out for a date?" I said, "You can.

come back out, but I want you got to be. gone Monday because I can't have this. I'm single. I don't want anything like. this going on." Two initial thoughts can. be made upon hearing Mike's story. On. one hand, it seems like Sam was back. together with Elen, so Sam would be a. much stronger person of interest, as. he'd likely been the last person to see. her. On the other hand, Mike may have. had a deep connection with Elene,

meaning if he learned she got back with. her ex-boyfriend just days after moving. in with him, he could have played a. sinister role in her disappearance. But. detectives plan to let Mike tell his. side of the story before confronting him. about the suspicious relationship. So, I took her to work Monday morning, then a week ago, yesterday. dropped her. off at 5:00 a.m. and she was supposed to get off at I. don't know, she said 7 or 8. Her. daughter was going to pick her up. She's. going to go to her mom's and get her.

safe and take to her daughters and then. she was supposed to come back to work at. 2:00 in the afternoon. Well, then I get. a phone call from. the bar saying, "Hey, have you seen. her?" And I said, "I haven't seen her. I. haven't talked to her. Nothing." Well, she didn't show up for work. She didn't. show up. I said, "I haven't heard. anything." And I tried to contact her. and couldn't get a hold of her. So, I. sent her a text message and I says, "All.

your stuff that's bagged up is going to. be second behind the bar. You got to get. it. I want it out of here. I don't want. to mess with any more of this.". And I never since 5:00 that Monday. morning, I'd never had any contact with. her phone, text, or anything. And then I. didn't know anything till right before. you called me that she'd come up. missing. Okay.

Mike would go on to claim that he never. had any sexual relationship with Helen. and that she stayed in a completely. different room to him while living in. his house. However, detectives know more. about Mike than he thinks, and with some. information Elen's close friends shared. with them, they don't believe he and. Alene were just friends. Did you Has anybody said anything to you. that uh Eileene was saying anything. about you? Did have you heard anything. about her making any statements about.

you and your uh behavior while she lived. or was staying with you out there? No. So, did you you haven't heard that she. may have made a statement that you. possibly assaulted her while she was up. there? No. Okay. Um, that statement was made to a couple. people that um you uh supposedly laid. down in on her bed with her um and.

spooned her from behind. Is that. No. Can you tell me is that any of that. accurate? Any of those statements? I would not do that because like I said, she was a loose cannon and she's scared. I mean, I guess here here's the deal. You're a grown man. She's a grown woman. You know, if there was any type of. whatever contact between you that was. consensual, there's absolutely nothing. wrong with that. I mean, she was crying that first night,

she'd come out and hide up here. Okay. But. there was no. relationship, no. asking for it or anything. This information is well concerning. considering it would be unlike Elaine to. make up blatant lies of this magnitude. However, with little to no evidence. other than a few rumors coming from her. friends, police can't harp over these. allegations and decide to wrap Mike's. questioning up. At this point, Mike is.

still considered to have potential. involvement in Elen's disappearance. But. with a lack of leads, they direct their. attention to the only other potential. suspect, Elen's ex-boyfriend, Sam. Bremer. You already met Detective Dyer. You get first names, but. yeah, this is Detective Dyer. I'm the. sergeant you talked to on the phone. My. name's Ted Roberts. I'm a sergeant. You know, you got on the phone with you. I was the last person I've seen her. alive. Well, I didn't say that.

Yeah, I didn't say that. I. I sure did. Yes, you sure did. I said you were the last person that saw. her before she went missing. Sam wasted no time adding more suspicion. onto his name. The phone recording shows. that the detective never mentioned Sam. being the last to see Elen alive. Elen. has been missing for less than 48 hours. at this point, so the fact that he's. already alluding to the idea that she's. dead is awfully disturbing. But this. would only mark the beginning of Sam's. unsettling choice of words during the.

interview. I was going to arrest you so I can have. a lawyer. [laughter]. No. Yeah, that's a I think you misheard. me there. I got it recorded. I'll have. to go back and listen to it. But uh but. yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not what I. said. But uh I mean basically we got a. you know a crazy deal here where you. know Eileen is evidently her family and. everything else she's never done this. kind of thing before. She's never just.

you know took off and gone. They all. know she. what she does is she comes to me and she. moves him she's moved him with me four. or five times. But usually when she moves him with me. she stays away from home. Yeah. Cuz they said they talk every day. the daughter and her talking. If they. need something, they need a phone or. whatever. She's Yeah. If they need. something, then they'll get hold of her. Okay. Just like when she got arrested for a. DWI, she went to jail. They finally d. her off. What did they do? They took her. and dropped her off at the bar.

Okay. And she was homeless. Okay. Let's If you could, I just need to. know what went on Monday morning. What. happened Monday morning with you? She texted me. Okay. and wanted to know if I would come. and get her because one of her friends. supposedly was supposed to come and get. her and supposedly ran out of gas. So, did she tell you the friend's name or. Mhm. Okay. So, I got there and I said, "I'll be.

there in a minute." She goes, "Don't. come inside. I don't want Megan to know. that we're back or you're with me." I. said, "Okay." And uh I pulled up. She. gets in the truck. [snorts]. We take off, run up to this supposedly. the one that. tried to do [snorts] something with her. and uh dropped her off there. Then I left. and then wasn't too long after that is. when she called me. I think she was at. my house knocking. See, you can't get in.

my apartment building unless you have a. key to get in. But I think she was knocking on my. window. I didn't look. I didn't care. I. just wanted to lay down, take a nap. That's when she texted me wanting to. know if I could talk to Emmy about. letting her move back in because this. guy uh. Okay. Now, if that's true when. that night, the night before Monday. The night before Monday. Yeah. Okay. And I don't know if that was true or. not. I don't know if she was just saying. that to get me to take her back or what.

I don't know. Okay. This statement adds more weight to. Alen's allegations towards Mike. If Mike. did do these things to Alene, then. moving out and staying with Sam would be. completely logical. On top of his. statement, what Sam is about to reveal. to detectives will make the allegations. much harder to dismiss and place all the. suspicion back on Mike. And she says, "Uh, please talk to Emmy. See if I can come back home. He me last. night. Sam, I love you. I promise I'll.

quit drinking. Please give me another chance." And she. says, "I'm hanging out with her." And. then this was it. at 122. What does it say? And it says, "Here, I'm hanging out with. a friend. I will get a hold of you. later. I'm not going to work. Uh, I'm. not back at back at 2, right? I think 2 or 3.". Yeah. Okay. I can't remember. Okay. And then, uh, you go to work, go back. there, they treat me like [ __ ] and then she.

says, "You've seen it." They have. I. mean, but I can't say nothing. Mhm. And then uh I said, "Why are you telling. me why didn't you tell me this earlier. when I was talking to you? You're drunk. You're drunk. Ain't be honest. That's. why I can't do this no more. Please do. not call me no more. Text me no more. All of your friends with you at work.". And that's where she got pissed off. [snorts]. Mhm. Said you. Based on these texts, it.

really seems like Alen's disappearance. was just a way for her to take a break. from her traumatic life. If this. allegations are true, and her. ex-boyfriend refused to give her a place. to stay, well, then running away for the. time being is completely reasonable. Sam's story seems solid so far, but. there's one tiny detail that just. doesn't quite add up, and this detective. has just picked up on it. But you said. you dropped her off in front of Mike's. house. Yeah. And you watched her walk into the.

All she did is she got out and she. walked in front of the truck and she. walked in front of the truck. I wouldn't. have turned around and that's when I. left. Okay. So you didn't see her get into the. house, anything like that? Mhm. So if she had walked away from there, I mean that's quite a ways away from. your apartment complex. I wonder how she. would have gotten to you. I told you it's her friend was supposed. to come and pick her up. Sam claims the day of Elen's. disappearance, he drove her from her. workplace at Sugar's Diner over to.

Mike's house to get her belongings. After that, he drove off, assuming she. was to be picked up by one of her. friends. Fortunately, police can easily. cross reference these claims using. surveillance footage. At [music] this. point, the majority of the CCTV camera. footage has been obtained from the day. of Alen's disappearance, so detectives. quickly wrapped up Sam's interview so. that they could further investigate his. claims. Additionally, the detective. would apologize for assuming Sam's. earlier word choice was suspicious. After nearly 48 hours of compiling the.

surveillance footage from around the. town, officers managed to put together a. complete timeline of Sam and Alen's car. ride. At 8:30 a.m. on February 13th, Elene. would patiently wait at her work, Sugars, for Sam to pick her up. Elaine. needed a ride to go and purchase a new. apartment since Mike had kicked her out. She would tell her boss and daughter. that a friend was picking her up because. she didn't want anyone to know her and. Sam were back together. Elen and Sam.

would first drive to her mother's. apartment, Dudley Courts. She would be. seen carrying a suitcase-like object out. from her mother's apartment, then. leaving with it. This would turn out to. be a safe containing $1,200, which she had planned to use as a down. payment for an apartment. At 9:30 a.m., they would drive directly to the. Sherwood apartment complex to purchase. the apartment. However, the complex. happened to be closed, so they were. unable to purchase anything. This is. where the timeline starts to deter from.

Sam's claims in the interrogation room. From 9:45 to 10:30 a.m., Sam's car can. be seen driving all across town. He went. in multiple circles and even made a. quick stop to Burger King at 10:30. However, he never drove Elene to Mike's. house like he had claimed. In fact, Sam's car can be seen driving in the. opposite direction to Mike's house the. entire morning. This is concerning, but. it would only get worse. For the next 2 hours, Sam's truck goes.

off the grid. It's completely unknown. where he went, and no CCTV. [clears throat] cameras had managed to. capture his location. Luckily, [music]. at 1:00 p.m., his truck would appear. back on the same streets he circled on. for hours that morning, and eventually. he would make his way back to his own. home at the Cottonwood apartment. complex. But things were different in. all the recordings past 100 p.m. Elaine. was no longer with Sam. [music].

Cameras had clearly captured that Sam. was nowhere near Mike's house the entire. day, so why would he feel the need to. lie about where he dropped Alen off? This footage paints Sam out to look. awfully suspicious. And while both Sam and Mike have some. strong dirt to their name, Sam's clear. lies convince officers to bring him back. to the station the very next day. This. time to confront him on his false. alibis. Unbeknownst to detectives, this. very interview would spark a month's.

long game of cat-and- mouse involving a. high-speed pursuit, unsettling clues, and a chilling discovery. But before we. get to that, let me tell you about. today's sponsor, ShipStation.

With that said, let's get. back to Sam Bremer, who had just been. brought back to the interrogation room. to explain the inconsistencies in his. alibi. the other day when we were in. here, you told me that you got a phone. call from her and you went to pick her. up from her.

So, if you can do me a favor and just. kind of go through that timeline again. We know uh that it was somewhere right. around 8:30. So, if you can just kind of. go through that timeline again as far as. I'm not too sure on the time. Okay. But anyway, she text me that [music]. morning. and I didn't text her back. I called her. and she wouldn't know if I would come. and get her because some girl was. supposed to pick her up and she ran out. of gas. So I went and picked her up and. she got in a truck. I left and.

she wanted to talk to me about helping. her get in the apartment. because she lived in the same apartment. building and I did but she didn't pay. her rent so she got kicked out. Mhm. So but she didn't want to go home right. away. So me and her just went right down. Broadway and then she wanted to stop at. her mom's house. I stopped at her mom's. house and she was in there for I don't. know five or 10 minutes. She come out. there, got back in and then was going. back down Broadway just talking some.

more and she promised me she wanted me. to drop her her back off at his house. but she made me made a promise I. wouldn't do nothing to him when I told. her I promise. Uh, as a matter of fact, when I get there and you just get out, you walk in front of truck, I'll go turn. around and I'll leave. And she says, "Okay.". Okay. So, you went up there, you dropped. her off. Then what'd you do? As soon as I I pulled up and she didn't. want to go in the driveway in case he. was there. Okay. And uh she got out of the truck. When. she got out of the truck, she walked in. front of her truck. And that's when I. went straight, turned around, and came.

back. Okay. And I straight home. So, you went back down to the highway, went back down to Kville. You left her there, huh? You left her her there or you. No, she got a truck. She didn't want to. come in. She. a second ago. You said she went in, grabbed clothes, came back out to your. truck, and you guys left again. [snorts]. No, no, no, no, no. That was it. Uh her. mom her mom's house. Clearly Sam is lying about where he was. the day of Alen's disappearance. The. detectives know it, and it seems like. Sam is starting to realize he won't be.

able to keep up his fake story for much. longer. Even after being told that cameras show. him nowhere near Mike's house the entire. day, Sam insists on his story that he. did in fact drop Elene off at Mike's. house. With this, the detectives would. take a brief break from the room to. watch the footage over again, just to. triple check that Sam is 100% lying. And. to nobody's surprise, the footage showed. Sam on the opposite side of town during.

the time he claims to have been at. Mike's. So, when the detectives return. to the interview room, they'll use this. information to try and get Sam to own up. to his lies. We got a small little snap here. I need. we need to talk to you about Okay. So, you said after you dropped her off out. there off of Highway 191 at that. [snorts] residence, you headed back to your apartment. We. checked some of our cameras. Okay. And. we have a camera at 36th and Broadway. And we have your truck going westbound.

at 9:28 a.m. going to Omaha. Okay. You. passed 36 and Broadway heading west. Uh, so you didn't go home. You went over to. Omaha, it looks like. Do you remember. what you did or you. I don't remember going home. Where'd [snorts] you go? I told you I went straight home. I don't. remember going home. Well, camera doesn't lie. It's your. truck and it's your license plate. number. Right. Okay. [clears throat] at at 36. the Broadway at 9:28 a.m. uh going west.

toward 480. and then 1 hour later you're coming back. from Omaha and you're going eastbound. back coming back into Council Plaz 1. hour later. where you go home. Sam is stuck at this point. No matter. what information detectives reveal, he. will not admit to anything. At this. point in the interview, all Sam has left. to simply reject everything the.

detectives tell him. They know Sam isn't. telling the truth. But why he's not. telling the truth is what remains to be. seen. However, with Sam seemingly. uncooperative, all detectives can do is. end the interview and let Sam back onto. the streets until more concrete evidence. can prove he had more to do with Alen's. disappearance than he claims. But. fortunately, letting Sam back onto the. streets would lead them to the exact. evidence that they were looking for. While law enforcement was working away.

at this case, another investigative. group would be working in the dark. Elen's family. Everyone held hope that. Alene was still alive. But with time. passing, her family was demanding. answers. Sam and Alen had a long history. of arguments, physical assault, and much. more that the family was well aware of. They knew Sam had more information about. Elen's whereabouts than he had told. them. So, to figure this out for themselves, Elen's son, Jack, would show up to Sam's.

door that same night, and he would pound. on the door, and upon opening, Jack. would ask the simple question, "What the. hell did you do to my mom?" In Jack's. words, Sam stared at him as if he had. seen a ghost and then shut the door in. his face. Sam panicked. Whatever he did. to Alen, people were starting to catch. on. Later that night, Sam would talk to his. granddaughter, Emily, and would claim. that he was going to harm himself so.

that he could go visit her deceased. grandmother. This shocked Emily as in. her eyes, Elene was still alive. Quickly, she would call 911 to report. everything Sam had just told her. And. shortly thereafter, police would locate. a drunken Sam at his local bar. Hi, sir. How are you? Pretty good. Is this your vehicle? Yes. Hey, can I talk to you real quick? Yeah.

Do you have any weapons or anything on. here? No. Okay. Hey, um, we were called to check your. welfare. Okay. I think you talked to. your granddaughter earlier and she was. concerned about you. Some of the. statements that you made to her. I'm. here for you, man. Tell me what's going. on. Why? Why? Why you Why are you. feeling the way you're feeling? My [clears throat] girlfriend, it was like a week ago. Me and her broke up and she moved in. with a guy. and apparently he supposedly he raped.

her. What's his name? Uh, only thing I know, he goes by Mike. Me and her broke up. She didn't have a. place to go. She moved in with him. She. told me Friday he tried to mess with. her. So I called my son and see if she can. move back in because he kicked us out. So I called my son and see if she can. move back in with her. Are you clear? And then uh. I went to his house, got her stuff, took. her to my son's and then the next. morning we went to work and then she. went right back to him. So I don't know.

So what comments did you make to your. granddaughter that would would be. concerning this evening? I just told her. I'm going to go out and have a couple. drinks and that I love her. That's it. Okay. Did you mention something about. seeing grandma tonight? What's that? Did you mention something about seeing. grandma tonight? No. Huh? I would like for you to talk to somebody. tonight. I would like for you to talk to. a medical professional. Okay. I don't. want to have to drag you up to the. hospital, but I most certainly will. I. think based off of what the. granddaughter has told us tonight and.

kind of the. or she call you. Yeah. Oh [ __ ] No. Yeah. So, she was she was crying when we went and. talked to her. I mean, that's she's. Yes. She was very emotional. Her best friend and aunt are currently. at the apartment because of what you. said. Wow. Based off of what they have told me. tonight, I'm going to give you one of. two options. You can go up willingly and. talk to a medical professional tonight. Okay. Or I can take you up there and you'll. stay there for 72 hours. Okay. I can't have my granddaughter come get.

me. No. based off of what you've told us and. what's going on in your life right now. Yeah. You need to talk to somebody. I don't. think that we will be doing our due. diligence to do our job to make sure. that you're not going to hurt yourself. based off of what's going on in with you. and your girlfriend, right? Okay. I you you need to talk to somebody. tonight. Okay. And so the best course of. action is to go up to the hospital, your. choice, to go to talk to somebody about. it tonight.

Sam's mental state was clearly. deteriorating. Whatever happened to. Alen, regardless of his involvement, was. really getting to him. Following this, Sam would be placed in a psychiatric. facility for the next 2 days where he. would undergo therapy and psychiatric. care. During these two days, detectives would. aim to gather more intel on the case. This time by interviewing the family of. Elen and Sam. They'd bring in both. Justin Brammer, Sam's son, and Nicole.

Shipper, Elen's daughter, and both of. them would reveal significant details. crucial to solving the case. This is Detective Zack Milner. I just want to get as much history as. you can tell me or talk to me about when. it comes to your mom. What was their. relationship like over there? Not a healthy one. Okay. What do you mean by that? He. didn't like her drinking. He thought he. could change her from slow get her to.

stop drinking. I told him that. he can't cuz she won't change for a kid. She's not going to change for a man. And he seemed that to think that he. could change her. So he. kept trying with her. But there was things on his part and her. part that were not healthy. They both. had jealousy issues. They both had. [snorts] he has a very short temper,

very short temper. And littlest things. will set him off and it's just it's like. ridiculous. Um, when [snorts] they are good, they were. good. But when it was not, it was. I was constantly in the middle of it. because she was my mom and that's his my. boyfriend's dad. They were good when they weren't. drinking, especially [snorts] when she wasn't. drinking. Um.

[sighs and gasps] she she'd bick her, she'd argue, they start arguing. It just escalate. Next day they were fine. It just they go. to bed angry. Mhm. Did. you ever see get physical? No, never seen a physical. He told me she grabbed he she grabbed. him by her neck a couple times, but that. was about it. Okay. Why would he grab.

her by the neck? She grabbed him by the neck. Oh, okay. It seemed like Sam and Alen had a rocky. relationship, but it rarely escalated to. the point of violence. And if the fights. did turn violent, it was Alen doing the. physical harm to Sam. The week prior to last Monday, what was. going on? They were separated. Um, she called me before she went missing. telling me how she don't want to be back.

get back with him because she's tired of. him throwing her out for little reasons. and she's sick of not being able to be. have a stable home because he just gets. so mad at the smallest things and just. kicks her out. Did Emily want her to go or was it your. dad wanting to go? Was it Sam? My dad. Okay. He [snorts] take her back. He kick her. back out. He. bring her back. Kick her bag out. Told.

you he need to stop. I mean, you guys. need to separate separate ways. [snorts]. Sam's family strongly suggests that. Alene was in fact the troubled one in. the relationship, and Sam tried over and. over to cut her out of his life. This. only perplex detectives and simply. doesn't explain why Sam's been acting so. strangely following Elen's. disappearance. 2 days after these interviews, Sam would. be released from the psychiatric. facility. Fortunately for Sam, no new.

leads had come out regarding Elen's. death, meaning he could finally have. some peace for the first time in the. last week. Or so it would seem. Because. on February 21st, the same day Sam was. released, he would go to Walmart to. restock on alcohol. However, right as. Sam was about to get in his truck and. leave, an offduty officer spotted him. and decided to ask some questions. related to a lean. Hesitantly, Sam asked. to move his truck and then he would talk. to the officer. But the moment he got.

into his car, Sam would slam on the. pedal, nearly hitting the officer and. floor his truck down the road, flying. past pedestrians. The cop would jump in. his car and begin chasing Sam, who would. only pick up speed as he ramped up to. over 100 mph down the peaceful roads of. Rexburg, Idaho. Turning westbound on. eastbound on a. white line up.

The chase continued for multiple. minutes, but it became clear to officers. that Sam had no plans of slowing down. So, the chief officer radioed in to call. the chase off. Sam had just successfully run from the. police. And while he was having the time. of his life, this chase obviously made. things much, much worse for Sam.

Not only was he now highly suspected of. murder, but is also wanted for evading. arrest and reckless driving. A couple. hours after his escape, he would simply. return back to his apartment as if. nothing had ever happened. Ironically, this would actually postpone Sam's. arrest as more officers assumed he would. be hiding in a more clever place and. searched around the town instead of. checking the Cottonwood apartments. In. fact, the entire day would go by and.

officers had no trace of where Sam could. have gone. But the fun would only last for a day. and the pressure must have gotten to Sam. as the next morning he would turn. himself in to police. Sam would be. charged with eluding and reckless. driving and would be placed in the. Podawati County Jail. However, Sam would. only spend one night in the county jail. after being bailed out by Emily. So, by. the grace of a miracle, yet again, Sam. Bremer was back on the streets.

During this time, Sam would go to the. bank and hand them a large stack of cash. to deposit into his account. This watt. of cash would come out to be. approximately $1,200, the exact amount found in a lean safe. that she had the day of her. disappearance. Additionally, Sam would. drive his truck over to the scrapyard. He would ask to fully dispose of it, crushing it to pieces and even shredding. it after. To make sure this got done,

Sam would meticulously watch the entire. hour-long process, ensuring his car was. turned to dust. It couldn't be more obvious that Sam had. something to do with Elen's. disappearance. the lies to detectives, the disturbing comments to Emily, running from the cuffs, cashing in and. lean safe money, and now shredding the. only potential piece of evidence he had. left. On top of all of that, detectives. had looked into the claims involving. Mike Brockman, and discovered that Mike.

was at work all day at Omaha, Nebraska, nowhere near Sugar's Diner, where Elene. was last seen. All of that leaves Ivan. Sam Bremer as the final suspect. But. with no direct evidence, all law. enforcement could do is wait until new. clues came their way. [music]. 911. What's the address for your. emergency?

Um, I don't really have an address. We're off the exit of Iowa over by a. public shooting area. What's What's going on? So, we're driving down the road to go um. shooting or whatever and there is a dead. body on the side of the road. Male or female? It's female for sure. On February 26th, Eileen's body was. found underneath a bridge just miles. away from Sam's apartment. The body was.

unrecognizable, but the clothes matched. the exact outfit Elene was wearing the. day she had disappeared. Someone had. killed her. Medics would pronounce Elene. dead on the scene, and she would [music]. be taken to the hospital to get an. autopsy done to determine her cause of. death, but her results would come back. strange. Elen had eight blunt force impacts to. her head and a fractured front tooth. While gruesome, none of these injuries.

were sufficient to cause her to die, so. her cause of death would be ruled as. undetermined. Unfortunately for police, this meant. they wouldn't be able to immediately. charge Sam with murder. However, with. all the sufficient evidence they'd. gathered throughout the course of the. investigation, they had enough to charge. him with abuse of a corpse. Quickly, they'd receive an arrest warrant. And. for the fourth time that month, officers. would arrive at Sam's apartment. This.

time, to finally seal his fate. Hello. Morning. We're looking for your grandfather. Is he here? Okay, just one second. Just. go. Sam, right? He goes by Sam. Okay. Is there anybody else in there? No, just him. He's sleeping. Okay. Is he got any guns or anything. like that? Okay. Well, he's got a warrant, so we.

need to talk to him. Just let that. officer in. I'll be right there. [snorts]. Ivan. Step out here. Show us your hand. No. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Okay. Come here. You got a warrant for arrest. I'll let you smoke that if you. just let me put it there. No. Oh, you can smoke it. All right.

All right. Get my shoes. Yeah, we'll get them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get them. arrest for. Huh? What do you want to arrest for? I'll. explain it here in a minute. All right. What the [ __ ]. Okay. He'll be P County will be able to. call you in a little bit. Thank you. Sam's games had finally come to an end.

Sam would eventually go to court for the. murder of Elen Gowen. Forensic. pathologists would spend weeks. investigating Elen's death, and. eventually they would discover zipper. marks on the neck of Elen, signifying. that she was strangled [music] to death, likely by Bremer.
