WEBVTT 00:00:02.966 --> 00:00:05.719 He was well-spoken, charming, very good-looking. 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.722 She was a very vibrant, beautiful personality, 00:00:08.763 --> 00:00:10.557 full of joy and laughter. 00:00:10.598 --> 00:00:12.559 They were a perfect pairing, 00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.561 bringing out the best in each other. 00:00:14.602 --> 00:00:17.439 Gretchen and David were madly in love 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.191 and just living life to the fullest. 00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.279 But when cracks in the marriage collide 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.740 head-on with a global pandemic-- 00:00:26.781 --> 00:00:28.700 They had just filed the divorce paperwork. 00:00:34.706 --> 00:00:36.750 People were getting texts from her phone 00:00:36.791 --> 00:00:39.043 saying that she had COVID. 00:00:39.043 --> 00:00:41.588 She was texting that she was on a ventilator. 00:00:42.338 --> 00:00:44.424 Pretty sure you can't text when you're on a ventilator. 00:00:45.967 --> 00:00:48.470 The bond between two soulmates-- 00:00:48.845 --> 00:00:50.597 Where was Gretchen? 00:00:50.638 --> 00:00:51.723 No one knew. 00:00:51.764 --> 00:00:54.184 We found out he had a criminal past. 00:00:54.267 --> 00:00:57.479 There were things that he didn't want people to know. 00:00:57.854 --> 00:01:00.190 Turns into 00:01:00.231 --> 00:01:02.775 a killer relationship. 00:01:03.860 --> 00:01:05.487 This started to move fast, 00:01:05.528 --> 00:01:06.821 from a missing persons case 00:01:06.863 --> 00:01:09.073 to something a lot more sinister. 00:01:20.376 --> 00:01:22.879 I'm Faith Jenkins, and in my experience, 00:01:22.962 --> 00:01:25.298 both as a judge on "Divorce Court," 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:27.592 and just observing my friends and family, 00:01:27.634 --> 00:01:30.845 the catalyst for many relationships is simple, 00:01:30.887 --> 00:01:34.015 an instant attraction between two people. 00:01:34.057 --> 00:01:35.642 But love can be blind, 00:01:35.683 --> 00:01:39.312 and love can often cause a person to overlook issues 00:01:39.354 --> 00:01:42.065 and insecurities hiding below the surface 00:01:42.106 --> 00:01:45.568 of their new partner's charm and good looks. 00:01:46.486 --> 00:01:48.488 Take the case of Gretchen Crain, 00:01:48.529 --> 00:01:51.241 a beautiful teacher from Jupiter, Florida, 00:01:51.282 --> 00:01:52.533 and David Anthony, 00:01:52.575 --> 00:01:55.787 a handsome and charismatic personal trainer. 00:01:55.828 --> 00:01:58.122 When they first set eyes on each other 00:01:58.164 --> 00:02:00.124 one early morning at the gym, 00:02:00.166 --> 00:02:04.504 everyone around them can feel the electricity in the air. 00:02:09.676 --> 00:02:11.094 Gretchen first met David 00:02:11.135 --> 00:02:13.930 as we were both working out at the same time. 00:02:14.013 --> 00:02:17.475 David ended up training her for a few sessions, 00:02:17.517 --> 00:02:21.312 and you definitely watched the sparks fly 00:02:21.354 --> 00:02:24.899 and you saw quite a bit unfolding. 00:02:26.109 --> 00:02:27.568 Standing 6'7", 00:02:27.610 --> 00:02:30.154 David is a former college basketball player 00:02:30.196 --> 00:02:33.157 who idolizes Kobe Bryant. 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.119 As a kid, David struggled with self-esteem issues 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:37.453 and turned to physical fitness 00:02:37.495 --> 00:02:40.373 and self-help to gain confidence, 00:02:40.415 --> 00:02:44.919 eventually becoming a highly in-demand personal trainer. 00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:50.174 He was an integral part of the success of my studio in the beginning. 00:02:50.216 --> 00:02:53.386 He was very caring, and members loved him. 00:02:53.428 --> 00:02:55.221 David's a very charming individual, 00:02:55.263 --> 00:02:58.850 a big smile with a dimple, and great sense of humor, 00:02:58.891 --> 00:03:00.935 always very upbeat, high energy. 00:03:00.977 --> 00:03:02.812 So he's a very magnetic personality, 00:03:02.854 --> 00:03:04.897 and she was very drawn to that. 00:03:06.065 --> 00:03:09.152 David is drawn to Gretchen too, 00:03:09.193 --> 00:03:11.821 but there's just one problem. 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:13.740 When they got together, 00:03:13.781 --> 00:03:15.616 Gretchen was actually married. 00:03:15.658 --> 00:03:18.494 She was married to a man named Jeffrey. 00:03:18.536 --> 00:03:21.372 Gretchen and Jeffrey married in 2007 00:03:21.414 --> 00:03:22.999 after many years of dating 00:03:23.082 --> 00:03:25.126 and have a young daughter together. 00:03:25.209 --> 00:03:30.214 In 2008, they both meet David Anthony at a local gym. 00:03:33.009 --> 00:03:34.385 In the beginning, 00:03:34.427 --> 00:03:36.888 Jeffrey and Gretchen worked out at the same gym. 00:03:36.929 --> 00:03:39.432 So Jeff absolutely met David, 00:03:39.474 --> 00:03:41.517 and I didn't have optics 00:03:41.559 --> 00:03:44.145 on what was going on behind the scenes. 00:03:46.105 --> 00:03:49.233 I know she was unhappy, 00:03:49.275 --> 00:03:52.195 but she had a child with Jeff, 00:03:52.236 --> 00:03:53.905 and they were doing their best to make it work, 00:03:53.946 --> 00:03:55.740 but it ended up not working out, 00:03:55.782 --> 00:03:59.243 and that's when her and David became a couple. 00:03:59.285 --> 00:04:01.996 Gretchen's divorce from Jeffrey follows quickly, 00:04:02.038 --> 00:04:04.624 and they share custody of their young daughter. 00:04:04.665 --> 00:04:08.753 David Anthony steps up to become a bonus dad. 00:04:10.338 --> 00:04:13.925 I believe that all of them worked very carefully 00:04:13.966 --> 00:04:17.011 to focus on the daughter and making sure 00:04:17.094 --> 00:04:20.890 that she was well-adjusted to the situation. 00:04:21.974 --> 00:04:25.853 In 2015, three years after their first date, 00:04:25.895 --> 00:04:28.439 Gretchen and David tie the knot. 00:04:28.481 --> 00:04:30.566 Gretchen and David were madly in love 00:04:30.608 --> 00:04:34.904 and a beautiful couple and just living life to the fullest. 00:04:35.988 --> 00:04:37.657 David, the picture he painted, 00:04:37.698 --> 00:04:40.493 is the perfect relationship with Gretchen. 00:04:40.535 --> 00:04:43.246 He was healthy, happy. 00:04:43.287 --> 00:04:44.997 Until I got to know him more, 00:04:45.039 --> 00:04:47.250 you would think he was the ideal person. 00:04:48.584 --> 00:04:50.378 But a few years into their marriage, 00:04:50.419 --> 00:04:53.714 the passion that Gretchen and David feel for each other 00:04:53.756 --> 00:04:55.508 begins to fade. 00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:57.718 David's hidden insecurities, 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:00.263 stemming from low self-esteem as a kid, 00:05:00.304 --> 00:05:03.683 have started creeping into the couple's everyday life. 00:05:04.016 --> 00:05:08.688 David is also prone to big and unpredictable mood swings. 00:05:08.729 --> 00:05:11.148 As I started to get to know David better, 00:05:11.232 --> 00:05:12.650 his moods would change. 00:05:12.692 --> 00:05:15.820 I could see there was a definite up and down. 00:05:15.861 --> 00:05:18.990 He became challenging, I would say, difficult. 00:05:22.493 --> 00:05:23.744 Thinking that a spiritual break 00:05:23.786 --> 00:05:26.706 might help get David into a better place, 00:05:26.747 --> 00:05:30.126 Gretchen arranges for a week-long trip together. 00:05:30.126 --> 00:05:35.756 David and Gretchen attended a yoga retreat in Maui, in Hawaii. 00:05:35.798 --> 00:05:38.467 And during the course of the retreat, 00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:42.763 David, at several times, had exhibited aberrant behavior, 00:05:42.805 --> 00:05:45.933 almost bordering on a psychotic episode, 00:05:45.975 --> 00:05:48.185 and at one point had to be separated 00:05:48.185 --> 00:05:51.355 from the rest of the group so that the organizers 00:05:51.397 --> 00:05:55.651 could both monitor him and individually counsel him. 00:06:01.157 --> 00:06:04.618 Then, in the spring of 2017, 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:07.747 a sudden freak accident exacerbates 00:06:07.788 --> 00:06:11.375 David's struggle to maintain his emotional balance. 00:06:11.417 --> 00:06:14.420 David is home one day working on his truck 00:06:14.462 --> 00:06:16.380 when the jack slips. 00:06:19.091 --> 00:06:20.593 It was a traumatic brain injury, 00:06:20.634 --> 00:06:22.178 and Gretchen was right by his side, 00:06:22.219 --> 00:06:24.096 making sure that he was taken care of, 00:06:24.138 --> 00:06:27.808 and he had to do a lot of rehabilitation 00:06:27.850 --> 00:06:30.186 to get back to normal. 00:06:32.229 --> 00:06:34.356 I believe David struggled for a while 00:06:34.398 --> 00:06:37.401 because he was out of work due to the injury. 00:06:37.443 --> 00:06:39.653 That probably pushes 00:06:39.695 --> 00:06:43.324 those insecurity buttons again, 00:06:43.365 --> 00:06:47.369 and that's when he starts to really be erratic 00:06:47.411 --> 00:06:50.206 and his characteristics start to change 00:06:50.247 --> 00:06:52.374 and make it hard on their relationship. 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.544 Gretchen was telling me about his mood swings. 00:06:55.586 --> 00:06:57.087 I can relate to them. 00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:58.923 She was telling me that she tried to help 00:06:58.964 --> 00:07:02.176 manage his behaviors and she couldn't do it anymore. 00:07:02.218 --> 00:07:04.762 David seems to always be searching 00:07:04.804 --> 00:07:07.640 for some kind of spiritual anchor, 00:07:07.681 --> 00:07:09.475 but his attempts keep backfiring 00:07:09.517 --> 00:07:13.521 and serve only to alienate Gretchen even further. 00:07:13.562 --> 00:07:14.730 David was involved with something 00:07:14.772 --> 00:07:16.649 called gratitude training, 00:07:16.690 --> 00:07:18.943 which was a sort of a self-help group. 00:07:18.984 --> 00:07:22.488 And one night David was acting very erratically, 00:07:22.530 --> 00:07:24.198 banging his head against the wall, 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.034 might've been having a psychotic episode ... 00:07:27.993 --> 00:07:29.411 and he had a knife. 00:07:30.746 --> 00:07:32.206 The police got there and they found him pacing 00:07:32.248 --> 00:07:35.376 in the parking lot near his truck, saying, 00:07:35.376 --> 00:07:36.669 "Where's my support now? 00:07:36.710 --> 00:07:38.337 Where's my support now?" 00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:41.257 And they actually had trouble subduing him 00:07:41.257 --> 00:07:43.217 and getting the knife away from him, 00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:46.387 before they finally detained him. 00:07:48.681 --> 00:07:51.850 David was doing some self-exploration. 00:07:51.892 --> 00:07:53.852 And when you start doing personal development 00:07:53.894 --> 00:07:55.896 and you start peeling back the layers, 00:07:55.938 --> 00:07:58.816 it can be a wobbly space for a person. 00:08:02.945 --> 00:08:05.823 Gretchen, in texts with a friend, 00:08:05.864 --> 00:08:08.867 said that David had had lots of episodes 00:08:08.909 --> 00:08:11.287 of erratic behavior, short temper, 00:08:11.328 --> 00:08:13.414 and that she actually would watch him 00:08:13.455 --> 00:08:15.666 on the home security cameras 00:08:15.708 --> 00:08:17.668 and she would take a knife 00:08:17.710 --> 00:08:19.920 and put it under her pillow 00:08:19.962 --> 00:08:22.423 so that she could get some sleep. 00:08:25.301 --> 00:08:27.511 I think Gretchen tried to hold it together 00:08:27.553 --> 00:08:29.054 because she did love him, 00:08:29.096 --> 00:08:30.681 but enough is enough. 00:08:31.765 --> 00:08:33.892 In the fall of 2019, 00:08:33.934 --> 00:08:36.645 Gretchen files for a separation from David 00:08:36.687 --> 00:08:38.856 and tells him to move out. 00:08:40.607 --> 00:08:44.153 David moves in with his mother, who lives nearby ... 00:08:45.112 --> 00:08:48.615 but he continues showing up at Gretchen's house. 00:08:50.951 --> 00:08:53.412 I think David probably would've started 00:08:53.454 --> 00:08:56.290 to potentially spiral at that point 00:08:56.373 --> 00:08:59.543 because he was losing the only thing he had 00:08:59.585 --> 00:09:01.628 that was propping him up. 00:09:02.129 --> 00:09:06.383 A few months later, on January 26th, 2020, 00:09:06.425 --> 00:09:09.011 the tragic death of David's sports hero 00:09:09.053 --> 00:09:12.931 sends him even further into a dark place. 00:09:12.973 --> 00:09:14.308 There's still smoke coming from the wreckage 00:09:14.350 --> 00:09:17.770 in Calabasas, and already, here at the crash site, 00:09:17.811 --> 00:09:21.065 fans outnumber first responders. 00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:24.068 Kobe Bryant's death was definitely a trigger. 00:09:24.109 --> 00:09:26.445 I've never seen David behave the way he did. 00:09:26.487 --> 00:09:28.572 It was concerning. 00:09:29.323 --> 00:09:33.911 I came into work and he actually was talking to the members 00:09:33.952 --> 00:09:36.330 as if he was at a funeral, he was crying, 00:09:36.413 --> 00:09:40.501 he was giving a speech in the lobby about Kobe Bryant. 00:09:42.169 --> 00:09:44.713 On February 25th, I fired him, 00:09:44.755 --> 00:09:48.008 and that is the last time I ever heard from David Anthony. 00:09:50.135 --> 00:09:52.137 Tabitha Hopkins is concerned enough 00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.639 about David's state of mind 00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:57.101 that she immediately reaches out to Gretchen via text. 00:10:04.983 --> 00:10:09.029 Three days later, on February 28th, 2020, 00:10:09.071 --> 00:10:12.157 Gretchen files for divorce from David. 00:10:13.075 --> 00:10:15.536 When I found out that Gretchen filed for divorce, 00:10:15.619 --> 00:10:17.830 I even said to myself, "And I just fired him. 00:10:17.871 --> 00:10:19.373 This is a really bad week for him." 00:10:20.874 --> 00:10:22.376 As Gretchen and David 00:10:22.417 --> 00:10:25.087 bitterly negotiate the end of their marriage, 00:10:25.128 --> 00:10:28.006 news from the outside world is filled with stories 00:10:28.048 --> 00:10:30.801 about a highly contagious new virus, 00:10:30.843 --> 00:10:32.803 first reported in Wuhan, China. 00:10:32.845 --> 00:10:34.137 Breaking news this morning, 00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:36.265 the World Health Organization has just declared 00:10:36.306 --> 00:10:38.934 coronavirus a global pandemic. 00:10:38.976 --> 00:10:42.187 New information on the latest beach closures in our area, 00:10:42.229 --> 00:10:46.233 beaches in Martin County closed to the public at sunset. 00:10:46.275 --> 00:10:47.484 We're going through a pandemic. 00:10:47.526 --> 00:10:50.070 There was complete chaos and panic. 00:10:50.112 --> 00:10:51.864 I said, "This is just unbelievable." 00:10:51.905 --> 00:10:53.907 Like, "It cannot get any worse." 00:10:56.243 --> 00:11:00.622 Tragically, things are about to get much worse 00:11:00.664 --> 00:11:02.583 for Gretchen Anthony. 00:11:02.624 --> 00:11:04.626 People were getting texts from her phone 00:11:04.668 --> 00:11:07.838 saying that she had COVID and that she was going 00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:10.340 to an undisclosed COVID facility. 00:11:10.382 --> 00:11:12.009 The most alarming part for me was, 00:11:12.050 --> 00:11:14.261 she was texting that she was on a ventilator. 00:11:15.178 --> 00:11:17.639 Pretty sure you can't text when you're on a ventilator. 00:11:17.681 --> 00:11:18.974 I knew it was not good. 00:11:20.934 --> 00:11:23.186 The person who put her car 00:11:23.228 --> 00:11:26.106 in the parking lot of the Jupiter Medical Center 00:11:26.148 --> 00:11:27.774 was not Gretchen Anthony. 00:11:36.074 --> 00:11:38.160 We are still in the very early days of this, 00:11:38.201 --> 00:11:41.330 and so there are investigations that are evaluating 00:11:41.371 --> 00:11:44.583 how individuals were infected. 00:11:44.625 --> 00:11:48.045 Stay home, stay safe, to help prevent and stop 00:11:48.086 --> 00:11:50.422 the spread of COVID-19. 00:11:50.505 --> 00:11:53.508 We all remember the start of the pandemic, 00:11:53.592 --> 00:11:54.885 the uncertainty, 00:11:54.926 --> 00:11:56.595 fear, and chaos. 00:11:56.637 --> 00:12:00.057 Now, put yourself in Gretchen Anthony's shoes. 00:12:00.098 --> 00:12:01.808 On top of all of that, 00:12:01.850 --> 00:12:05.270 she's going through a divorce with her estranged husband, David, 00:12:05.312 --> 00:12:10.025 after five years of what had once been a loving marriage. 00:12:10.067 --> 00:12:11.360 If that isn't enough, 00:12:11.401 --> 00:12:13.737 Gretchen's health seems to take 00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:16.156 a frightful and sudden turn. 00:12:18.950 --> 00:12:21.244 Her family and friends started to receive 00:12:21.286 --> 00:12:23.538 these mysterious texts 00:12:23.622 --> 00:12:25.957 that said that she had coronavirus 00:12:25.999 --> 00:12:28.835 and that she had to self-quarantine. 00:12:29.127 --> 00:12:31.171 This is something that is very real! 00:12:31.213 --> 00:12:33.131 This is March 2020. 00:12:33.423 --> 00:12:36.927 We know that this virus is deadly. 00:12:36.968 --> 00:12:39.805 All city residents should stay in their homes 00:12:39.846 --> 00:12:43.225 except to go out for essential activities. 00:12:43.266 --> 00:12:46.728 At this point, there are only a few thousand cases 00:12:46.770 --> 00:12:49.272 of COVID-19 in the U.S., 00:12:49.314 --> 00:12:53.402 but with so little understanding of the virus early on, 00:12:53.443 --> 00:12:56.530 every positive case is terrifying. 00:12:56.863 --> 00:13:00.951 Still, family and friends often have a sixth sense, 00:13:00.992 --> 00:13:03.745 and something just doesn't feel right 00:13:03.787 --> 00:13:06.039 about Gretchen's texts. 00:13:07.249 --> 00:13:11.002 Immediately, the red flags were enormous. 00:13:11.044 --> 00:13:13.213 People were getting texts from her phone 00:13:13.255 --> 00:13:15.215 saying that she had COVID, 00:13:15.257 --> 00:13:17.425 and none of the information 00:13:17.467 --> 00:13:20.011 being put out there was accurate. 00:13:20.887 --> 00:13:23.807 Her text messages had said that she was on a ventilator. 00:13:23.849 --> 00:13:26.351 Several members of her family and her friends 00:13:26.393 --> 00:13:28.395 did not think that the verbiage in the text message 00:13:28.436 --> 00:13:30.438 sounded like her. 00:13:31.273 --> 00:13:32.774 The text messages were reporting 00:13:32.816 --> 00:13:35.443 that she had been taken to the Jupiter Medical Center, 00:13:35.485 --> 00:13:38.029 where she was later transferred to a 00:13:38.071 --> 00:13:41.283 CDC receiving facility out in Belle Glade. 00:13:41.992 --> 00:13:45.620 Belle Glade is about an hour away from Jupiter, 00:13:45.704 --> 00:13:49.082 and there is no CDC facility in Belle Glade. 00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:55.171 These texts raised enough red flags amongst her family and friends 00:13:55.213 --> 00:13:58.884 that they started to reach out to law enforcement. 00:13:59.593 --> 00:14:02.637 And now it's a missing persons case. 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.765 Detectives went to Jupiter Medical Center 00:14:05.765 --> 00:14:08.602 in an effort to locate Gretchen Anthony. 00:14:10.312 --> 00:14:13.440 Her MINI Cooper was found in the parking lot. 00:14:13.773 --> 00:14:16.067 So folks reached out to the Jupiter Medical Center 00:14:16.109 --> 00:14:18.028 and they found that there was no record 00:14:18.069 --> 00:14:20.113 of Gretchen Anthony being there. 00:14:21.573 --> 00:14:24.784 That vehicle was towed to our impound investigation area 00:14:24.826 --> 00:14:26.953 for further investigation. 00:14:27.329 --> 00:14:29.205 Law enforcement and those close to Gretchen 00:14:29.247 --> 00:14:32.876 wonder if Gretchen is using the virus as a cover, 00:14:32.918 --> 00:14:35.962 a way to escape the drama with her ex, David, 00:14:36.004 --> 00:14:38.340 and just disappear for awhile. 00:14:38.381 --> 00:14:39.591 But the fact that Gretchen 00:14:39.633 --> 00:14:42.427 isn't in contact with her daughter 00:14:42.469 --> 00:14:45.138 is extremely troubling. 00:14:48.558 --> 00:14:51.561 The first place police will look in a missing persons case 00:14:51.603 --> 00:14:55.523 is someone's husband or ex-husband. 00:14:56.024 --> 00:14:58.610 We became very suspicious when we learned she was also 00:14:58.652 --> 00:15:02.530 scheduled to receive her daughter for visitation, 00:15:02.572 --> 00:15:06.201 and that never happened. 00:15:06.242 --> 00:15:09.871 Contact was made with her ex-husband Jeff, 00:15:09.913 --> 00:15:13.333 to confirm that their daughter was okay, 00:15:13.375 --> 00:15:14.959 which she was, and in speaking with Jeff, 00:15:15.001 --> 00:15:18.755 they learned that he, in fact, had also received 00:15:18.797 --> 00:15:22.842 these odd text messages from Gretchen's phone. 00:15:22.884 --> 00:15:25.970 Jeff went as far as calling the hospital, 00:15:26.012 --> 00:15:28.431 and responded via text that, 00:15:28.473 --> 00:15:30.141 "You are not at the hospital. 00:15:30.183 --> 00:15:32.477 What is going on?" 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.896 And so as part of this investigation, 00:15:34.938 --> 00:15:40.235 Jeff actually assisted with helping law enforcement. 00:15:40.777 --> 00:15:42.862 With concern growing by the hour, 00:15:42.904 --> 00:15:45.365 police arrive at Gretchen's Jupiter townhome 00:15:45.407 --> 00:15:47.325 to do a welfare check. 00:15:51.996 --> 00:15:54.165 When officers first went into the residence, 00:15:54.207 --> 00:15:56.709 they did smell cleaning supplies. 00:15:57.168 --> 00:16:00.755 They saw that something just wasn't right in the residence. 00:16:01.047 --> 00:16:03.091 So based upon those suspicious circumstances, 00:16:03.133 --> 00:16:05.844 we ended up getting a search warrant for the residence. 00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:10.140 They did not find Gretchen. 00:16:10.181 --> 00:16:14.102 However, they found a bleach stain on the ground ... 00:16:15.478 --> 00:16:17.564 and also an odor of chemicals. 00:16:17.605 --> 00:16:21.401 There was a small piece of broken glass on top of her bed. 00:16:21.443 --> 00:16:24.237 There was some rags that had 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.158 a blood-like substance on them in her washroom, 00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:31.035 which is adjacent to her kitchen. 00:16:33.663 --> 00:16:35.206 Even more disturbing, 00:16:35.248 --> 00:16:37.625 detectives discover that someone has 00:16:37.667 --> 00:16:39.627 ripped the security cameras 00:16:39.669 --> 00:16:41.421 right off the walls. 00:16:41.462 --> 00:16:43.131 But who? 00:16:43.173 --> 00:16:44.215 And why? 00:16:46.217 --> 00:16:48.344 While we didn't recover any cameras 00:16:48.386 --> 00:16:50.680 because they had all been removed from the house, 00:16:50.722 --> 00:16:54.934 the module receiver was left behind. 00:16:55.560 --> 00:16:59.063 The wifi module gives detectives a ray of hope, 00:16:59.105 --> 00:17:02.233 as it's possible the recordings were uploaded to the cloud 00:17:02.275 --> 00:17:04.694 before the cameras were pulled down. 00:17:04.736 --> 00:17:06.905 A warrant is obtained to try and access 00:17:06.946 --> 00:17:09.741 the footage from the security company. 00:17:09.782 --> 00:17:11.826 We believe this could be the key 00:17:11.868 --> 00:17:14.829 to what happened at Gretchen's residence. 00:17:14.913 --> 00:17:16.456 When was the last time she was there? 00:17:16.497 --> 00:17:17.916 When did she leave? 00:17:17.916 --> 00:17:18.708 Did she leave alone? 00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:20.877 Was she with someone else? 00:17:21.544 --> 00:17:24.297 Next, investigators send the physical evidence 00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:27.467 collected from Gretchen's house out for testing, 00:17:27.508 --> 00:17:31.137 and ask the medical center to pull surveillance footage 00:17:31.179 --> 00:17:33.389 from the hospital parking lot. 00:17:34.098 --> 00:17:35.558 While waiting for the video, 00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:38.895 detectives reach out to Gretchen's estranged husband, 00:17:38.937 --> 00:17:41.397 but he's not answering their calls. 00:17:42.649 --> 00:17:43.858 We're still dealing with a situation 00:17:43.942 --> 00:17:48.571 where we haven't spoken to David. 00:17:48.613 --> 00:17:50.239 Could they have reconciled? 00:17:50.281 --> 00:17:52.408 Could they be somewhere together? 00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:55.119 Gretchen Anthony has been missing 00:17:55.161 --> 00:17:58.581 for several days when detectives are able to access 00:17:58.623 --> 00:18:02.585 the security cam footage from the hospital parking lot. 00:18:02.627 --> 00:18:05.338 The video is dark and grainy, 00:18:05.380 --> 00:18:09.133 but reveals some devastating information. 00:18:10.051 --> 00:18:11.636 Gretchen's vehicle 00:18:11.678 --> 00:18:14.263 pulls into the Jupiter Medical Center parking lot, east lot, 00:18:14.305 --> 00:18:16.683 and parks in the space where it was later 00:18:16.724 --> 00:18:19.143 found by investigators. 00:18:19.185 --> 00:18:22.689 The surveillance camera footage at the hospital parking lot showed 00:18:22.730 --> 00:18:26.609 that she likely did not drive herself. 00:18:27.026 --> 00:18:30.154 The person who put her car in the parking lot 00:18:30.196 --> 00:18:32.115 of the Jupiter Medical Center 00:18:32.156 --> 00:18:33.533 was not Gretchen Anthony. 00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:46.045 Gretchen Anthony has been missing for three days, 00:18:46.045 --> 00:18:49.132 and her friends and family are worried sick. 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.885 Then, Gretchen's car is found abandoned 00:18:52.927 --> 00:18:54.929 in a hospital parking lot, 00:18:55.012 --> 00:18:57.348 with no sign of her. 00:18:58.182 --> 00:19:01.561 If I'm an investigator with Jupiter P.D., right about now, 00:19:01.602 --> 00:19:04.730 I am all over the ex-husband, David Anthony, 00:19:04.772 --> 00:19:08.860 and that's exactly where investigators wanna be. 00:19:08.901 --> 00:19:10.570 But here's the deal, 00:19:10.611 --> 00:19:12.447 they can't find him. 00:19:12.488 --> 00:19:13.948 Where is David Anthony? 00:19:16.993 --> 00:19:19.912 Detectives go to David's mother's residence 00:19:19.996 --> 00:19:23.583 to speak with her, to see if she has any information 00:19:23.624 --> 00:19:25.918 as to where David is. 00:20:11.672 --> 00:20:15.259 He thought that everybody needed to pack up and leave, 00:20:15.301 --> 00:20:18.054 and he had made several phone calls to family and friends, 00:20:18.095 --> 00:20:20.431 trying to get them to move to Costa Rica with him, 00:20:20.473 --> 00:20:23.184 because he was paranoid about the coronavirus. 00:20:25.686 --> 00:20:27.980 There were a lot of unknowns at the time. 00:20:36.239 --> 00:20:37.573 Trying to locate David 00:20:37.615 --> 00:20:39.992 and prevent him from fleeing the country, 00:20:40.076 --> 00:20:44.747 investigators put out a nationwide alert with David's description. 00:20:45.206 --> 00:20:48.668 Next, they run his name through their databases. 00:20:48.709 --> 00:20:51.796 What comes back raises their alarm. 00:20:52.922 --> 00:20:56.008 We found out he had a criminal past. 00:20:56.050 --> 00:20:58.594 He also went by the name of David Deutsch, 00:20:58.636 --> 00:21:00.262 so he changed his name. 00:21:00.304 --> 00:21:03.391 There were things that he didn't want people to know. 00:21:03.432 --> 00:21:06.686 He was not the fun-loving, free-spirited, 00:21:06.727 --> 00:21:10.690 charismatic trainer that people knew as David Anthony. 00:21:12.733 --> 00:21:14.026 As David Deutsch, 00:21:14.068 --> 00:21:16.779 he spent time in jail for holding up a video store 00:21:16.821 --> 00:21:19.281 and for assaulting a police officer. 00:21:19.949 --> 00:21:22.576 When I hired David, I did not know about his criminal past. 00:21:22.618 --> 00:21:25.329 I did not know that wasn't his name. 00:21:26.205 --> 00:21:29.125 Even doing a background check, it pulled up nothing. 00:21:30.876 --> 00:21:34.338 Because he changed his name legally, 00:21:34.380 --> 00:21:35.881 there was no record of anything. 00:21:35.923 --> 00:21:38.968 It's as if I didn't know the real David. 00:21:41.470 --> 00:21:43.723 Detectives uncover an arrest report 00:21:43.764 --> 00:21:45.683 from an incident just seven days 00:21:45.725 --> 00:21:47.643 before Gretchen went missing. 00:21:47.685 --> 00:21:51.230 That night, police respond to calls about a man 00:21:51.272 --> 00:21:54.734 acting suspiciously and approaching teenage girls 00:21:54.775 --> 00:21:56.610 in a shopping mall parking lot. 00:21:58.821 --> 00:22:00.072 When the cops arrive, 00:22:00.156 --> 00:22:03.117 they find a man pacing back and forth 00:22:03.159 --> 00:22:05.286 in an agitated state. 00:22:11.417 --> 00:22:12.585 Get down! - Can I get up? 00:22:12.626 --> 00:22:14.462 - No! Get down! - I'm just standing up! 00:22:14.503 --> 00:22:16.297 Get down! 00:22:16.338 --> 00:22:17.923 It's David Anthony. 00:22:17.965 --> 00:22:19.967 - All right, all right -- - Get up, now! 00:22:20.843 --> 00:22:22.636 - All right, all right- - Get out! 00:22:22.678 --> 00:22:23.929 - All right- - Get out! 00:22:25.306 --> 00:22:26.682 - Get outta the car! - Get- 00:22:28.100 --> 00:22:29.518 Got in his hands. 00:22:29.560 --> 00:22:31.937 Drop it! Drop it! Whatever it is, drop it! 00:22:31.979 --> 00:22:33.481 All right, all right, all right! 00:22:33.522 --> 00:22:34.773 - Drop it! - All right, all right! 00:22:34.815 --> 00:22:36.108 Stop resisting me! 00:22:36.150 --> 00:22:38.903 David was charged with resisting arrest, 00:22:38.944 --> 00:22:41.989 but he posted bail and was released. 00:22:42.031 --> 00:22:43.782 Seven days later, 00:22:43.824 --> 00:22:45.784 Gretchen went missing. 00:22:45.826 --> 00:22:49.872 And now, David is nowhere to be found. 00:22:51.749 --> 00:22:54.793 Police waste no time and obtain a search warrant 00:22:54.835 --> 00:22:57.087 for David's truck, his phone, 00:22:57.129 --> 00:22:58.506 and Gretchen's phone. 00:22:58.547 --> 00:23:01.967 At this point, investigators have no idea 00:23:02.009 --> 00:23:04.929 if Gretchen is dead or alive, 00:23:04.970 --> 00:23:07.473 but they are doing everything they can 00:23:07.515 --> 00:23:09.642 to try and track her down. 00:23:10.226 --> 00:23:13.145 And they believe that the key to finding Gretchen 00:23:13.187 --> 00:23:15.439 is to first find David. 00:23:15.481 --> 00:23:17.441 As we're tracking David, 00:23:17.483 --> 00:23:21.362 we're able to see his travel path. 00:23:22.196 --> 00:23:23.864 Interestingly enough, 00:23:23.906 --> 00:23:26.742 Gretchen's cell phone is also pinging 00:23:26.784 --> 00:23:30.621 on the same travel path as David's phone. 00:23:30.663 --> 00:23:33.540 So we have evidence to suggest Gretchen, 00:23:33.582 --> 00:23:36.210 or at the very least, her phone, 00:23:36.293 --> 00:23:37.962 is with David. 00:23:48.597 --> 00:23:50.015 The hunt is on for David Anthony, 00:23:50.057 --> 00:23:53.852 and we are working days behind him. 00:23:53.894 --> 00:23:57.439 He is very much so ahead of us. 00:23:58.023 --> 00:23:59.316 Pings from David's phone 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.903 are traced to a pawn shop in Gulf Breeze, Florida, 00:24:02.945 --> 00:24:05.531 600 miles north of Jupiter. 00:24:05.864 --> 00:24:08.867 The pawn shop owner is able to identify David 00:24:08.909 --> 00:24:10.744 as being there that day, 00:24:10.786 --> 00:24:13.872 and there's surveillance video to prove it, 00:24:13.914 --> 00:24:16.083 but there's no sign of Gretchen. 00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:20.713 We interviewed the owner of the pawn shop. 00:24:20.754 --> 00:24:22.965 In the video surveillance, you can see David 00:24:23.007 --> 00:24:26.051 enter the store with his dog Kobe, 00:24:26.093 --> 00:24:29.930 and he told them that he was selling jewelry 00:24:29.972 --> 00:24:34.226 from a family member who had actually died from COVID-19. 00:24:35.936 --> 00:24:38.230 As David gets rid of what detectives fear 00:24:38.313 --> 00:24:41.442 are Gretchen's most valued possessions, 00:24:41.483 --> 00:24:46.071 investigators ask themselves 00:24:46.113 --> 00:24:48.782 "Did he get rid of Gretchen as well?" 00:24:51.285 --> 00:24:53.078 You wanna be positive, you want to think 00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:55.456 that everything really is okay. 00:24:55.497 --> 00:24:58.792 Like maybe she's harmed, but she's going to be okay. 00:24:58.834 --> 00:25:00.335 You still wanna think, well, maybe, 00:25:00.335 --> 00:25:01.879 if we can find her, 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.005 we can save her. 00:25:04.006 --> 00:25:05.758 He left a digital footprint, 00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.887 and it was a chase to track down David Anthony. 00:25:19.229 --> 00:25:22.357 Gretchen Anthony, a loving and devoted mom, 00:25:22.441 --> 00:25:24.693 is missing from her Florida home, 00:25:24.735 --> 00:25:27.780 and police suspect her estranged husband, David, 00:25:27.821 --> 00:25:29.364 is responsible. 00:25:30.073 --> 00:25:32.326 But they still can't be certain. 00:25:33.494 --> 00:25:35.954 Could Gretchen still be alive? 00:25:35.996 --> 00:25:38.499 Both David and Gretchen's cell phones 00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:41.084 are being tracked and are on the move, 00:25:41.126 --> 00:25:44.171 heading west across Texas in David's truck. 00:25:47.758 --> 00:25:49.760 We know from speaking with his mother, 00:25:49.802 --> 00:25:52.971 he has all intentions of leaving the country. 00:25:53.013 --> 00:25:55.265 He is getting out of here. 00:26:04.358 --> 00:26:07.402 Using the cell phone tower location services, 00:26:07.444 --> 00:26:11.490 we were able to pinpoint an area where he was. 00:26:11.532 --> 00:26:15.869 We were able to track their telephones to Pecos, Texas. 00:26:15.911 --> 00:26:19.414 And we learned that after going from Pecos, Texas, 00:26:19.456 --> 00:26:22.000 he then travels to New Mexico, 00:26:22.042 --> 00:26:23.835 Las Cruces, New Mexico. 00:26:25.796 --> 00:26:30.425 I then spoke to an investigator in Las Cruces, 00:26:30.425 --> 00:26:32.511 asked for his assistance. 00:26:32.553 --> 00:26:36.306 I made them aware of the circumstances of this case. 00:26:36.807 --> 00:26:38.350 On March 28th, 00:26:38.433 --> 00:26:42.104 a week after Gretchen Anthony is last seen alive, 00:26:42.145 --> 00:26:45.691 David Anthony's truck is spotted in Las Cruces, 00:26:45.732 --> 00:26:48.860 nearly 2,000 miles away from Gretchen's home 00:26:48.902 --> 00:26:50.237 in Jupiter, Florida. 00:26:53.699 --> 00:26:56.368 The police officers in New Mexico 00:26:56.410 --> 00:26:59.037 were absolutely amazing. 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.207 After becoming aware of what happened, they were on board. 00:27:02.249 --> 00:27:04.376 They were able to locate him. 00:27:06.086 --> 00:27:09.464 We had issued a BOLO for his vehicle, 00:27:09.506 --> 00:27:10.882 a Be on the Lookout. 00:27:10.924 --> 00:27:14.511 And shortly after, patrol units located David 00:27:14.553 --> 00:27:15.887 driving his truck on the highway, 00:27:15.929 --> 00:27:18.598 and they conducted a felony stop on his car. 00:27:47.252 --> 00:27:49.963 The officers had copies of our police reports, 00:27:50.005 --> 00:27:53.341 so they were well-educated on what we were dealing with. 00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:03.727 David said that he didn't have any information, 00:28:03.769 --> 00:28:06.146 that he had not spoken to Gretchen 00:28:06.188 --> 00:28:08.648 and he did not know her whereabouts. 00:28:09.524 --> 00:28:12.736 With David's denials and no body found, 00:28:12.778 --> 00:28:14.321 police don't have enough evidence 00:28:14.362 --> 00:28:17.699 to charge David with any crime. 00:28:19.659 --> 00:28:21.995 This was a difficult time because it was the first time 00:28:22.037 --> 00:28:24.748 that somebody had actually laid eyes on David Anthony, 00:28:24.790 --> 00:28:27.584 and we knew that he was the main suspect 00:28:27.626 --> 00:28:29.795 in our investigation ... 00:28:31.338 --> 00:28:34.174 but we didn't have quite enough information 00:28:34.216 --> 00:28:35.717 for the arrest warrant yet, 00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.303 so it was extremely hard to see 00:28:38.345 --> 00:28:40.639 that law enforcement had him in custody, 00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:41.973 but we had to let him go. 00:28:44.518 --> 00:28:47.562 But they did have the lawful authority 00:28:47.604 --> 00:28:50.273 to confiscate his vehicle 00:28:50.315 --> 00:28:53.109 and all of the contents within. 00:28:53.652 --> 00:28:57.781 At this point, we only have a search warrant for his vehicle. 00:29:00.033 --> 00:29:01.159 David's truck had been taken 00:29:01.201 --> 00:29:03.954 into the impound lot as evidence. 00:29:03.995 --> 00:29:06.248 All of his property was inside of the truck, 00:29:06.289 --> 00:29:09.751 including all of the cell phones that he had been utilizing. 00:29:12.796 --> 00:29:14.339 Back home in Florida, 00:29:14.381 --> 00:29:17.592 Gretchen's family and friends are trying to stay positive, 00:29:17.634 --> 00:29:22.138 but are losing hope with every passing day. 00:29:23.348 --> 00:29:25.559 I wanted to know what was going on. 00:29:25.642 --> 00:29:28.144 I had the news stations at my studio constantly. 00:29:28.186 --> 00:29:29.437 I was trying to avoid them. 00:29:29.479 --> 00:29:31.231 Police still trying to piece together 00:29:31.273 --> 00:29:33.024 exactly what happened to her. 00:29:33.066 --> 00:29:37.028 I just knew in my gut something horrible had happened, 00:29:37.070 --> 00:29:40.615 and so help me if he hurt her, 00:29:40.699 --> 00:29:44.703 because she didn't deserve that. 00:29:48.665 --> 00:29:51.042 I was determined that Detective Kenerson and I 00:29:51.084 --> 00:29:55.297 were going to fly out to Las Cruces, New Mexico 00:29:55.338 --> 00:29:59.175 to secure the truck and tow it back 00:29:59.217 --> 00:30:02.178 to Jupiter Police Department as part of our case, 00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:04.598 since it was needed as evidence. 00:30:06.683 --> 00:30:08.184 It was a very eerie time. 00:30:08.226 --> 00:30:11.104 We weren't sure how we were gonna get out to New Mexico. 00:30:11.146 --> 00:30:14.733 The country was still being shut down because of COVID-19. 00:30:14.774 --> 00:30:17.861 We weren't sure if we were gonna have to drive out there, 00:30:17.902 --> 00:30:20.280 or if we were even gonna be able to find 00:30:20.322 --> 00:30:22.991 a flight to take us there. 00:30:23.950 --> 00:30:26.494 It was a very strange time in the country. 00:30:26.953 --> 00:30:29.080 As Detectives Kenerson and Sanders, 00:30:29.122 --> 00:30:32.208 back in Florida, scramble to figure out how to get 00:30:32.250 --> 00:30:36.046 to New Mexico while David's trail is still warm, 00:30:36.087 --> 00:30:38.381 Kenerson is flabbergasted when his phone lights up 00:30:38.423 --> 00:30:42.218 with a call from none other than David Anthony. 00:30:44.512 --> 00:30:47.932 He was calling me from New Mexico. 00:30:49.309 --> 00:30:52.812 According to him, he's speaking on behalf of Gretchen. 00:31:13.583 --> 00:31:16.628 Nine days, 00:31:16.669 --> 00:31:18.088 that's how long it's been 00:31:18.129 --> 00:31:22.258 since anyone has seen or heard from Gretchen Anthony, 00:31:22.300 --> 00:31:26.638 except for some very strangely-worded text messages. 00:31:26.679 --> 00:31:29.015 Her estranged husband David, 00:31:29.057 --> 00:31:32.268 who was now the prime suspect in her disappearance, 00:31:32.310 --> 00:31:33.311 has fled. 00:31:33.353 --> 00:31:36.439 He's in New Mexico with her phone. 00:31:37.398 --> 00:31:42.070 But on March 29th, 2020, he surprises detectives. 00:31:42.237 --> 00:31:43.738 They're back in Jupiter, Florida, 00:31:43.905 --> 00:31:47.325 and they receive an unexpected phone call, 00:31:47.367 --> 00:31:51.079 and an even more unexpected accusation. 00:32:11.516 --> 00:32:14.519 According to him, she uncovered information 00:32:14.561 --> 00:32:17.897 about their business which was unfavorable to them, 00:32:17.939 --> 00:32:20.775 and someone may be after her because of that. 00:32:20.775 --> 00:32:22.068 He indicated during the interview 00:32:22.110 --> 00:32:23.736 that he was trying to protect her, 00:32:23.736 --> 00:32:25.196 but I wasn't buying that. 00:32:25.238 --> 00:32:27.615 Detective Kenerson contacted the local state agencies 00:32:27.657 --> 00:32:29.951 and found out that there was no complaint 00:32:29.993 --> 00:32:32.245 ever filed by Gretchen Anthony. 00:32:34.038 --> 00:32:37.083 So, is David an innocent man, 00:32:37.125 --> 00:32:40.378 or a brazen killer playing games with the police? 00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:44.591 Investigators actually get their answer the very next day. 00:32:45.049 --> 00:32:48.720 They finally have access to the video 00:32:48.803 --> 00:32:50.805 from Gretchen's security cameras. 00:32:53.766 --> 00:32:56.936 You're able to see the tall, dark figure. 00:32:56.978 --> 00:32:59.105 That person appears in Gretchen's porch 00:32:59.147 --> 00:33:02.108 around 6:06 a.m. 00:33:02.150 --> 00:33:03.985 He had had something in his hands 00:33:04.027 --> 00:33:07.363 that we later determined was duct tape. 00:33:08.323 --> 00:33:13.286 He was going from side to side in the porch, 00:33:13.328 --> 00:33:15.955 until approximately 6:13, 00:33:15.997 --> 00:33:18.499 when Gretchen answered the door. 00:33:20.376 --> 00:33:21.794 A struggle did occur. 00:33:23.588 --> 00:33:25.965 I see her being dragged to the garage. 00:33:26.007 --> 00:33:28.426 Her screams are being muffled. 00:33:29.010 --> 00:33:31.137 And then the next video clip I see, 00:33:31.179 --> 00:33:34.349 I see that her blonde hair is now bloody. 00:33:35.558 --> 00:33:38.978 We can clearly see that there is a 00:33:39.020 --> 00:33:41.564 body on the floor that's not moving. 00:33:41.606 --> 00:33:44.567 We now know for certain that Gretchen is dead. 00:33:47.278 --> 00:33:49.989 And we see this person walk by, 00:33:50.031 --> 00:33:51.199 and they turn around, 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.410 and they look directly into the camera. 00:33:55.995 --> 00:33:57.205 And that person 00:33:57.246 --> 00:33:59.082 was David Anthony. 00:34:02.835 --> 00:34:06.005 The investigation quickly shifted to a homicide. 00:34:06.756 --> 00:34:10.009 There's also chilling audio 00:34:10.051 --> 00:34:12.553 of Gretchen's final words ... 00:34:13.846 --> 00:34:16.933 a desperate plea to summon help. 00:34:21.104 --> 00:34:24.607 We were able to get evidence of commands 00:34:24.649 --> 00:34:29.779 that Gretchen made to her Alexa device. 00:34:29.821 --> 00:34:31.364 And there were a couple of times 00:34:31.406 --> 00:34:36.369 that Gretchen actually yelled out for Alexa to call 911. 00:34:40.623 --> 00:34:43.459 But sadly, Gretchen never programmed 00:34:43.501 --> 00:34:46.337 her device to raise the alarm. 00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:48.047 At least now, though, 00:34:48.089 --> 00:34:49.841 detectives have what they need 00:34:49.924 --> 00:34:52.927 to apprehend David Anthony. 00:34:53.010 --> 00:34:56.055 I think it was definitely a premeditated crime. 00:34:56.097 --> 00:34:58.766 There was absolutely no reason 00:34:58.808 --> 00:35:03.104 for David to be at Gretchen's residence. 00:35:03.146 --> 00:35:07.525 And to see the way he lurked on her patio 00:35:07.567 --> 00:35:10.236 before she came outside was chilling. 00:35:10.444 --> 00:35:12.071 He went there with a purpose, 00:35:12.113 --> 00:35:14.490 and he went there and he completed it. 00:35:15.366 --> 00:35:18.119 We were able to obtain a warrant for his arrest 00:35:18.161 --> 00:35:21.414 and for second-degree murder and kidnapping. 00:35:22.165 --> 00:35:24.876 We were able to book a flight. 00:35:24.917 --> 00:35:27.712 We flew out to New Mexico. 00:35:27.753 --> 00:35:30.006 Our biggest fear, flying out to New Mexico, 00:35:30.006 --> 00:35:33.301 was that we weren't gonna be able to find David Anthony. 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:36.429 We didn't know where he was staying. 00:35:36.470 --> 00:35:37.722 He didn't have any money. 00:35:37.763 --> 00:35:40.474 He didn't have his truck any longer. 00:35:40.516 --> 00:35:43.227 Everybody was working nonstop, 00:35:43.269 --> 00:35:45.563 just patrolling the streets, 00:35:45.605 --> 00:35:47.732 checking all of the homeless camps, 00:35:47.773 --> 00:35:49.150 all of the back alleys. 00:35:49.191 --> 00:35:50.568 We were about to pack it up 00:35:50.610 --> 00:35:52.737 when one of the investigators called me and said, 00:35:52.778 --> 00:35:55.323 "Hey, we found him at a gas station." 00:35:57.283 --> 00:35:59.160 Around midnight, he was spotted walking 00:35:59.201 --> 00:36:02.288 into a convenience store with his dog, Kobe. 00:36:03.706 --> 00:36:06.083 Detective Kenerson races to the location 00:36:06.125 --> 00:36:07.501 where David was spotted 00:36:07.543 --> 00:36:11.672 and pulls up to find David still in the parking lot. 00:36:39.283 --> 00:36:41.160 Watching the interrogation video, 00:36:41.202 --> 00:36:43.371 David seems almost believable, 00:36:43.412 --> 00:36:46.290 but still, 11 days after Gretchen Anthony 00:36:46.332 --> 00:36:48.417 was murdered in her garage, 00:36:48.459 --> 00:36:51.295 David Anthony is taken into custody. 00:37:15.403 --> 00:37:17.196 There was no responsibility, no remorse. 00:37:17.238 --> 00:37:20.825 It was a guy who still thought he could get away with it. 00:37:25.371 --> 00:37:28.124 He kept repeating over and over again 00:37:28.165 --> 00:37:29.667 that Gretchen was still alive, 00:37:29.708 --> 00:37:31.377 that there was nothing wrong with her, 00:37:31.419 --> 00:37:32.753 that she was safe. 00:37:33.712 --> 00:37:35.589 Detectives then present David 00:37:35.631 --> 00:37:38.801 with something he had no idea was coming, 00:37:38.843 --> 00:37:41.887 the surveillance footage from Gretchen's garage. 00:38:14.962 --> 00:38:17.506 Did he take Gretchen with him on his travel path? 00:38:17.548 --> 00:38:19.967 Did he bury her somewhere along the highway? 00:38:20.009 --> 00:38:23.512 Did he find some desolate area to put her body? 00:38:23.554 --> 00:38:24.847 Where was Gretchen? 00:38:25.264 --> 00:38:26.265 No one knew ... 00:38:27.933 --> 00:38:29.476 except for David. 00:38:37.109 --> 00:38:40.321 I know the burden of proof is heavy for the death penalty, 00:38:40.362 --> 00:38:41.989 which is what David Anthony faces 00:38:42.031 --> 00:38:44.408 when he's extradited back to Florida 00:38:44.450 --> 00:38:47.077 and charged with first-degree murder. 00:38:48.078 --> 00:38:51.207 Without a body, though, it'll be a tough case. 00:38:51.248 --> 00:38:54.043 I keep asking myself one question, 00:38:54.126 --> 00:38:56.962 how could David Anthony have ended the life 00:38:57.004 --> 00:39:00.674 of a woman who he'd once loved so deeply? 00:39:01.926 --> 00:39:06.096 She was a radiant, beautiful human being, 00:39:06.138 --> 00:39:11.226 and it's very hard to believe that somebody that you had 00:39:11.268 --> 00:39:13.729 a decade-long relationship with 00:39:13.771 --> 00:39:15.147 would kill you. 00:39:15.981 --> 00:39:18.817 The family of Gretchen Anthony 00:39:18.859 --> 00:39:21.987 wanted a proper burial for Gretchen, 00:39:22.029 --> 00:39:24.156 they wanted closure. 00:39:24.573 --> 00:39:27.534 And they wanted to know where her body was. 00:39:27.576 --> 00:39:30.454 And the only person who knew that was David Anthony. 00:39:36.627 --> 00:39:38.003 We were able to work out a deal 00:39:38.045 --> 00:39:41.465 where he would serve 38 years in prison, 00:39:41.507 --> 00:39:46.136 on the condition that he told us where Gretchen was. 00:39:46.845 --> 00:39:50.057 On December 21st, 2020, 00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:54.061 nine months to the day since Gretchen went missing, 00:39:54.103 --> 00:39:59.149 David Anthony pleads guilty to second-degree murder. 00:39:59.233 --> 00:40:04.405 And he finally reveals where Gretchen's body can be found. 00:40:05.698 --> 00:40:06.990 He had buried Gretchen 00:40:07.032 --> 00:40:11.745 at a assisted living facility on their grounds. 00:40:12.246 --> 00:40:15.666 There was a large empty field, 00:40:15.708 --> 00:40:18.627 and there was even a shovel 00:40:18.669 --> 00:40:21.296 that was leaning against a tree. 00:40:23.632 --> 00:40:25.718 It was hiding in plain sight. 00:40:26.593 --> 00:40:28.887 It's a solemn day when Jupiter police 00:40:28.929 --> 00:40:31.932 finally recover Gretchen's remains. 00:40:32.516 --> 00:40:35.352 So the family was able to get their closure, 00:40:35.394 --> 00:40:36.979 proper burial, 00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:40.023 and a measure of justice in the end. 00:40:40.858 --> 00:40:42.276 An autopsy reveals 00:40:42.276 --> 00:40:45.737 how the mom with so much to live for 00:40:45.779 --> 00:40:48.866 died fighting for her life. 00:40:48.907 --> 00:40:52.369 Gretchen sustained multiple stab wounds. 00:40:52.411 --> 00:40:54.621 She actually had some injuries 00:40:54.663 --> 00:40:57.541 that were described as defensive wounds, 00:40:57.583 --> 00:41:00.169 so she fought back. 00:41:02.254 --> 00:41:04.173 At David Anthony's sentencing hearing, 00:41:04.256 --> 00:41:06.925 Gretchen's sister Sarah is given the chance 00:41:06.967 --> 00:41:09.344 to share the family's pain 00:41:09.386 --> 00:41:12.306 and confront her sister's killer. 00:41:46.590 --> 00:41:48.008 We don't know if his motive 00:41:48.050 --> 00:41:51.553 was to steal her jewelry and her bank accounts 00:41:51.595 --> 00:41:54.806 to support his traveling to Costa Rica, 00:41:54.848 --> 00:41:57.059 or if it was a crime of passion. 00:41:59.436 --> 00:42:02.189 I feel that Gretchen did everything that she was supposed to do. 00:42:02.231 --> 00:42:03.941 She did love him and she wanted to help him. 00:42:03.982 --> 00:42:05.400 Gretchen was a fixer. 00:42:05.442 --> 00:42:07.444 She wanted to make David better! 00:42:07.486 --> 00:42:10.781 And I said to her, "You can't fix him," 00:42:10.822 --> 00:42:12.616 but she wanted to. 00:42:13.909 --> 00:42:15.077 And it's heartbreaking, 00:42:15.118 --> 00:42:16.536 it really is. 00:42:20.040 --> 00:42:22.626 Gretchen Crain fell for David Anthony 00:42:22.668 --> 00:42:25.087 pretty much the moment she set eyes on him, 00:42:25.128 --> 00:42:28.048 and no doubt, he fell just as hard for her. 00:42:28.090 --> 00:42:30.092 I've seen many couples in "Divorce Court" 00:42:30.133 --> 00:42:32.719 whose first encounter was just like this, 00:42:32.761 --> 00:42:33.971 and when it doesn't work out, 00:42:34.012 --> 00:42:36.974 they're able to separate and move on. 00:42:37.015 --> 00:42:39.101 But David hid crushing self-doubt 00:42:39.142 --> 00:42:41.269 behind a facade of positive thinking 00:42:41.311 --> 00:42:44.731 and a relentless pursuit of physical well-being. 00:42:44.773 --> 00:42:46.817 And when he couldn't hide it any longer, 00:42:46.858 --> 00:42:51.905 his smoldering rage turned him into a cold-blooded killer. 00:42:51.947 --> 00:42:55.200 David's mind got so twisted that killing Gretchen 00:42:55.242 --> 00:42:58.745 somehow became his solution to losing her. 00:42:58.787 --> 00:43:02.040 It's hard for me to understand David's brutal actions, 00:43:02.082 --> 00:43:06.336 and I'm sure it's still incomprehensible for Gretchen's loved ones. 00:43:06.336 --> 00:43:10.215 Still, there is some comfort knowing that David Anthony 00:43:10.257 --> 00:43:13.301 will spend the rest of his life in prison, 00:43:13.385 --> 00:43:16.888 and hope that Gretchen's positive spirit lives on 00:43:16.930 --> 00:43:19.224 in those who knew and loved her.
