3:28

Is shattered when gunshots rang out.

3:31

Over has. To

3:36

the dock and scouter in the clubhouse

3:38

when the shots went off. Club

3:41

members believe the sounds came

3:43

from the apartment upstairs. Like

3:47

was Henry lives and apartment

3:49

above their club house. And

3:52

he's a member of another

3:55

motorcycle club. The iron wings. And

3:57

she's a prominent member in that flat. And

4:01

the air? gross. Quiet. Leader

4:03

of Men club member Pt. Miller

4:06

Calls made to find out what's

4:08

going on. He

4:10

called proximity five times I go. Henry's

4:13

not picking up as have now is

4:15

getting concerned. I was getting worried. Instead

4:18

sell enough. Their. Pt.

4:21

Reaches out to several of my

4:23

club members. Within minutes, a small

4:25

group of Iron Wings shows up.

4:29

They bang on Mike's front door which

4:32

is the door and mill the building

4:34

that axis out in the parking lot.

4:36

Where everybody is part the stores

4:38

law. They

4:40

go to the back door and

4:42

they find that this store is

4:44

ratcheted close with the industrial ratchet.

4:49

Fearing for my safety, his club

4:51

members kick in the exterior door.

4:55

As to of the men while

4:58

cautiously up the stairs to my

5:00

apartment door their met with a

5:02

full refund site. He then sees

5:04

Michael Henry sitting in. There are.

5:11

There was a large amount of

5:13

blood on the carpet. There's a

5:15

large amount of blood on the

5:18

futon. pt. Miller made the nine one

5:20

one initial call. he calls and says

5:22

there had been a shooting. Officers

5:26

arrived and minutes and are immediately.

5:28

Taken aback by the he.

5:32

He was shot proximate only four.

5:34

Times. Who could have

5:36

done this? Who would had a motive to

5:38

do something like. Thirty

5:44

one year old Eerie need is

5:47

Michael J. Henry was known for

5:49

his big stature and love of

5:51

motorcycles. At Santa. Known him for

5:53

improve us all his life. Everybody just them Big

5:56

Mike. To the he was big. Here.

6:00

One fights, you know. he knew a lot

6:02

about him. He was a mechanic so he

6:04

knew how to build them to. Might

6:06

actually started his own motorcycle

6:09

club called the Iron When

6:11

Club. They're. Very. Serious about

6:13

their motorcycles. They're very

6:15

serious about being bikers. It was

6:17

just a bunch of guys that

6:19

have regular jobs. They. Are hung

6:21

out together a lie on the weekends. This

6:23

of a that is all about motorcycles. Mike

6:29

was just as dedicated to the club

6:31

as he was to running his own

6:33

business. He a dream

6:35

of working from cells or he went to

6:37

start his own cell activity to another year

6:40

he take these talents in the it's he

6:42

says take them up for businesses he it

6:44

recycle and eventually his idea was to take

6:46

the pill to make him another thing. Though

6:51

Mike had big ambitions, he

6:53

did has a checkered past.

6:56

Myself short fuse if he got something

6:58

in his head were at that time

7:01

made him angry. It wasn't

7:03

so easy to calm him down. Mostly

7:06

people appear to be afraid of him.

7:08

They. Were he was known

7:10

to start fights with people

7:13

like had served five years

7:15

in prison for aggravated assault.

7:18

Where he beat a man into a coma.

7:22

We're at a bar and someone was harassing

7:24

the girl so he kind of got a

7:26

little for all their and then up in

7:28

jail. After

7:33

his five year prison sentence was

7:35

complete, Mike worked to turn his

7:37

life around in addition to co

7:40

founding The Iron Wings and starting

7:42

his own company Make Sound Love

7:44

In Two Thousand and Six when

7:46

an old friend walked back into

7:49

his allies. I didn't live

7:51

here for ten years. He was actually at

7:53

my brother's house. And I went

7:55

over there and. Started

7:57

talking and as I I've now stratagem,

8:01

Mother of three Nicole. Finale: Had

8:03

no problem seeing past

8:06

might tough exterior. He

8:08

was really funny or a to make

8:10

me laugh like falling. I've never last

8:12

the for. Which. Was interesting

8:14

zero and let's add on like this big scary

8:17

guy because he was huge our but he was

8:19

actually just as fast. the and away. The

8:22

too quickly fell head over

8:24

heels. We.

8:26

A lot of fun to be with

8:28

The motorcycle riding we were together twice

8:30

or seven seem like as family's always

8:32

be with him in. Two thousand and

8:35

ten. After four years together, the couple

8:37

found out they were. Expecting a

8:39

baby. He talked about

8:41

time do as having a child that

8:43

I really didn't plan on having were

8:46

kids I think we're both tag shots

8:48

and excited. The always want to be

8:50

the best father he could be. In

8:55

May of two thousand and eleven

8:57

the couple welcome to their son

8:59

Jackson. He.

9:01

Long to be are in a full time

9:03

father. As for sir I was very important

9:06

to him. I think as of them from

9:08

him not being around his father as much

9:10

as he would allies thrown out while things

9:12

were graded first. Mike eventually slipped

9:15

back into old habits. He

9:18

succumbed to the pressure of the club. You

9:20

know they were going out every night you

9:22

know and they went from home. It was

9:24

is currently a bad time I see of

9:26

and it's. Ultimately,

9:29

The couple split in two thousand.

9:31

Twelve. Neither one of us really knew

9:33

what we were going to do. It

9:35

was very confusing I was going to

9:37

do with access to see if we

9:39

couldn't fix things. That

9:46

before Mike and Nicole could work

9:48

out their differences, tragedy strikes when

9:50

My life is cut short on

9:53

April Twelfth. Two thousand and Twelve.

9:56

The police went to the place where of of

9:58

nine one one had to. Directed them

10:00

which was an apartment over

10:02

a motorcycle clubs. As

10:05

officers begin clearing the apartment,

10:08

the here Athena fries. Ministers.

10:14

Likes months old. And.

10:19

Just. Waking up started fry. Luckily

10:23

as a child appears. In

10:25

Han. Start

10:28

saying who would do this through

10:31

it Fire off for a five

10:33

shots and apartment was a ten

10:35

month old child was and fifteen

10:38

10:42

was shocking file. And so

10:44

finally. Evidence

10:50

suggests the my. Name. Is don't

10:52

10:56

it. I.

10:59

Commend Fire Rival. Or.

11:05

And a tangled another fair. He

11:09

has been seen other women see know that

11:11

she was not is only. Mean.

11:22

The need an easy to be two

11:24

thousand. Erie Pennsylvania Police

11:26

officers. Nine thirty one year old

11:28

and he can. Shot to

11:30

death. In. His of. Their

11:33

first order of business is protecting.

11:35

That makes ten month old. The

11:39

thing that got everybody is that his son

11:41

was sitting there and then to ever saw

11:43

him shot and killed him and laugh and

11:46

the sun was still there. A

11:48

child was okay, was removed.

11:57

so i'm on cloud with

11:59

me Mike's

12:01

dead. And the first

12:03

thing through my head is, well, where's the baby?

12:06

The baby's fine. I mean,

12:08

I couldn't believe it. I was thankful that nothing

12:10

happened to my son. A

12:12

lot of thankfulness and tears at the

12:14

same time. It was a very hard time though.

12:17

It definitely was. As

12:21

Mike's son is taken away, detectives arrive

12:23

on the scene and get to work.

12:27

Mike Henry was shot four times. He

12:30

was shot once in the leg, twice

12:32

in the chest, and once in the

12:34

head. We could tell that it

12:36

didn't take long for him to pass. It would

12:38

have been a matter of seconds.

12:42

Thoughts were initially, okay,

12:45

was this homicide committed by

12:47

a rival motorcycle club? Or

12:51

was this something more personal? Based

12:55

on the positioning of the body

12:57

and the location of the bloodstains,

12:59

detectives theorize about what may have

13:02

happened. The individual walked

13:04

up on him while he had been

13:07

laying in bed and initially fired. And

13:10

then upon him, getting up, continued

13:13

the fire and walked out of

13:15

the apartment right after that. So

13:18

it was almost like walking by, shooting

13:20

somebody, and continue to walk out of

13:22

the apartment. As

13:25

detectives search the scene, they

13:27

recover four shell casings. The

13:31

shell casings were nine millimeter shell casings,

13:33

which told us that a nine millimeter

13:36

handgun would have been used. And

13:39

that it matched up with the number of

13:41

shots that we believe were on the weekend.

13:47

Though detectives are able to determine

13:50

the type of weapon used, they

13:52

are unsure how the killer gained

13:54

access to Mike's apartment. this

14:00

individual get into the apartment without

14:02

Roy Henry knowing. Being that

14:04

his size and everything and the position that he was in,

14:06

he was surprised. Although

14:10

detectives have many questions, there is

14:12

one thing they know for sure.

14:16

There's a TV there, there's appliances

14:18

there, there's money located in

14:20

a bedroom. It doesn't

14:22

appear that burglary or

14:24

robbery was the motive. The

14:27

fact that it looks like they got in

14:29

there, shot him, and got out, that was

14:32

the intent. The intent was to kill

14:34

Mike Henry. Since

14:37

there were no signs of forced

14:39

entry, detectives suspect one of two

14:41

things. Somebody either

14:43

had a key or they

14:46

knew how to get into the apartment without

14:48

having to kick in the door

14:51

or pry it open or anything like that. So

14:53

everybody close to Mike was

14:55

a suspect at first. As

15:01

CSI continues processing the scene,

15:04

witnesses are transferred to the

15:06

station for interviews. Detectives

15:08

first speak with Leader of

15:10

Men Motorcycle Club member Petey

15:12

Miller. He's the

15:15

one that made the 911 initial call. We

15:18

learned that he heard an

15:20

argument, some

15:22

shuffling around, and then pop,

15:24

pop, some more muffled sounds,

15:27

and then a pop, pop, pop. Petey

15:30

says he hadn't called 911 right

15:33

away because he didn't want to

15:35

upset Mike. He said,

15:37

if Mike was up there doing

15:40

something himself, I didn't want him

15:42

to get pissed off at me. I'm not

15:44

going to get involved. I'm going

15:46

to let his motorcycle club look

15:49

into it. He

15:51

was a biker and he lived the biker life. Nobody

15:54

messed with Big Mike. Petey

15:59

has to. Three weeks earlier, the

16:01

Iron Wings and another club had

16:03

gotten into a brawl. There

16:06

was an incident involving Michael Henry in

16:08

a fight out in a

16:10

local bar called the Oasis a couple

16:13

weeks prior. So

16:15

his initial thought was, could this be

16:17

a continuation of that? And

16:20

that motorcycle club was called the

16:22

Lucky 13 motorcycle club. The

16:25

lifestyle that he led, people

16:27

that he hung out with, maybe

16:29

it was some type of retaliation. Detectives

16:32

ask Petey if someone else may have

16:35

been angry with Mike. While

16:38

he can't think of anyone, Petey

16:40

admits Mike was very popular with

16:42

the ladies. He

16:45

was known through his hangouts as he was a

16:48

ladies man. He didn't

16:51

stick with one girl very long. Armed

16:58

with multiple leads, authorities next

17:00

turned to Mike's heartbroken family

17:02

to learn more about his

17:04

personal life. His

17:06

mother and father said even though he

17:09

did have a past when his son was born,

17:11

that was the turning point for him.

17:13

And he was starting to turn his life around

17:15

and better himself for not only him, but for

17:17

his son as well. Mike's

17:20

family says he had dated his

17:22

son's mother, Nicole Spinelli, for years.

17:24

But the two had recently split.

17:27

And within a couple of weeks,

17:29

Mike started seeing a woman named

17:31

Rachel Kozlov. When

17:33

we were split up, Michael told me one

17:36

day that he did meet a girl. Rachel

17:38

is her name. So at

17:40

that point, we're trying to gather as much information

17:42

as we can about Rachel. A

17:48

native of Erie, 30-year-old Rachel

17:50

Kozlov was known for her

17:52

lively, independent spirit. Rachel

17:55

is a good person. She has a great

17:57

personality. She has a great sense of humor.

18:01

Despite her charismatic personality, Rachel

18:03

had never been lucky in

18:06

love. Rachel had

18:08

four children with four different fathers. Some

18:11

of them she remained friendly with, but

18:14

regardless, she had four men in her

18:16

life that gave her children and nothing

18:18

else and walked away. What

18:23

her love life lacked, Rachel made

18:25

up for in motherhood. My

18:27

mom is a loving, caring

18:33

mama bear. She just wants

18:35

the best for us and she tried her

18:37

hardest. She's always

18:39

been a shoulder to cry

18:41

on, a ear to listen,

18:43

a mouth

18:45

to give advice. She's

18:48

always been there for all of us.

18:51

Though raising four children was

18:53

a financial struggle, Rachel always

18:55

found a way to make ends

18:58

meet. She jumped around from job

19:00

to job. She did a bunch of

19:02

different things. She instilled in

19:04

me just to be an independent

19:06

person. You don't need a

19:08

man or a woman to be

19:11

there to help you do anything. By

19:15

February of 2012, Rachel had all but given up

19:18

on love until

19:21

Mike Henry walked into her

19:24

life. I feel

19:26

like Rachel was definitely trying something

19:28

new in her life when it came

19:30

to Mike because her other boyfriends weren't

19:32

the same. They were more, I

19:35

guess, mild compared to Mike. Though

19:38

Mike seemed a bit rough around the

19:40

edges, Rachel could see a future with

19:42

him. He

19:44

had been seeing other women. She knew

19:46

that she was not his only girlfriend.

19:49

But I think she thought that

19:51

maybe they would

19:53

have a relationship just the two of them one

19:55

day. Rachel loved kids,

19:58

you know, and maybe the college. of

20:01

Mike having a son and that she saw

20:03

that family unit. And

20:05

that kind of endeared her to Mike. Mike's

20:10

family says, although he was in

20:12

a relationship with Rachel, he and

20:14

Nicole still loved each other. We're

20:17

like, so much confusion and do

20:19

you want to let him go? Do you want

20:22

to try to work it out? And so I

20:24

was still together with him. According

20:27

to Mike's family, in mid-March,

20:29

Nicole had to leave unexpectedly

20:31

for a family emergency and

20:33

has been there ever since.

20:36

I was actually had to go to Ohio and I was going

20:38

to be in Ohio for like a month. And

20:40

it was unexpected. So while I

20:42

was down there, he had Jackson at the time. After

20:49

finishing up with Mike's family, detectives

20:51

tracked down Nicole. This

20:54

is informational in nature. And we just want

20:56

to gather as much information as we can.

20:58

We want to talk to everybody who

21:00

may have been involved. Police

21:03

confirmed Nicole was out of town

21:05

at the time of Mike's murder,

21:08

eliminating her as a suspect. Next,

21:11

detectives worked to track down Mike's

21:14

new girlfriend. We

21:16

needed to speak with her immediately. Coming

21:21

up, detectives come face to

21:23

face with Mike's new lover.

21:26

She was sobbing and breaking down. She

21:29

either didn't do this or she's the best

21:31

actress in the world. And

21:34

a chilling interview fueled the

21:36

flames of a gang retaliation.

21:39

There was a pretty good stomping

21:41

and beatdown until someone fired shots.

21:45

The only thing I know is that he was shot at

21:47

a waste. Him and

21:49

his other motorcycle club had a beat.

21:53

Since 2000... In

22:00

2013, Bombas has donated over 100 million

22:03

socks, underwear, and t-shirts to those facing homelessness.

22:05

23:28

Just four hours into the

23:31

investigation of the brutal homicide

23:33

of Motorcycle Club member Mike

23:35

Henry, detectives have uncovered

23:37

a number of leads. There

23:41

was a fight involving Michael Henry and

23:43

another member of the Lucky 13 Motorcycle

23:45

Club. And he had a

23:48

complicated love life. Mike's

23:51

been in and out of relationships. Though

23:54

detectives have verified the mother of

23:57

Mike's son, Nicole Spinelli, was in

23:59

Ohio. at the time of Mike's murder,

24:01

they have yet to track down Mike's

24:04

current girlfriend, 30-year-old

24:06

Rachel Kozlov. Luckily,

24:08

it doesn't take long to find

24:10

her. We were

24:13

given information that Rachel

24:15

Kozlov had driven to

24:17

the police department. She was downstairs and ready

24:19

to be interviewed. Mike's club members had reached

24:21

out to her and said, hey, the police want to speak

24:23

with you. Calm down on the station. Rachel

24:28

did not indicate that she knew

24:30

why she was there. And

24:33

we did not just... Detectives

24:35

start by asking Rachel about

24:37

her relationship with Mike Henry.

24:40

We're moving together. Like

24:45

everything is good. We literally had

24:48

three disagreements, finally. I

24:52

asked her just to go through her day,

24:55

her evening. Rachel

24:57

says around 6.30 p.m., she

25:00

stopped by Mike's to have dinner. And

25:02

that's when things got intimate. Rachel

25:06

says that when she goes over there, he

25:09

asks her to pleasure him.

25:13

I asked, is this something that you normally

25:15

do? And she said, yes, this happens all

25:17

the time. She said, but when

25:19

I go to pleasure him, he

25:21

smells of sex. Rachel

25:32

says after Mike explained himself, the

25:34

two were fine and she left

25:36

shortly after. But

25:39

around 9 p.m., while she was out with

25:41

a friend, Mike initiated

25:43

a fight over text. Out

25:46

of nowhere, I get a text that

25:48

pretty much just took off. And I'm like, that's literally what

25:50

he sent me. I'm like, okay,

25:52

where's that? Were you really that

25:55

pissed? I think that's turned you.

25:57

Or is it that I'm out? Rachel

26:02

explains that the texts were going

26:04

nowhere, so she decided to return

26:06

to Mike's apartment. She

26:09

wanted to go there and see how he

26:11

was doing and make

26:14

up with him. According

26:18

to Rachel, she arrived at Mike's around

26:20

9.30 p.m. and had

26:22

to park in the adjacent lot since

26:24

the parking lot outside of Mike's building

26:27

was full. She says

26:29

that she walks around the

26:31

building, goes in and lets

26:33

herself in because she has a key, and

26:36

walks into his apartment and says, What's up?

26:39

What's going on? He goes back

26:41

there for a little bit and talks, and pretty

26:44

much everything seems fine then. Rachel

26:47

says Mike then went to the bathroom,

26:49

and at that point

26:51

she sees a number on his phone

26:53

that she doesn't recognize. So,

26:56

according to Rachel, she memorizes that

26:58

number. According to

27:00

Rachel, when Mike came back, he

27:02

went into a rage. He

27:06

started yelling, telling me to get out, and

27:08

I was like, What's going on? You

27:10

know, we were fine, he went to the bathroom, now

27:13

you're freaking out on me. Rachel

27:15

says he grabs her by the arm, he pulls

27:17

her off the futon, and he throws her under

27:19

the wall. I'm

27:23

like, Well, I need my stuff. And

27:25

apparently me trying to get my stuff pissed him off

27:27

more because then he opened the door to the back

27:29

and threw me down the stuff, and

27:31

then threw all my stuff. Rachel

27:37

claims she has no idea

27:39

what caused Mike's sudden outburst.

27:43

So she thinks, I'm going to call that phone number because

27:46

it's got to be something that's going on

27:48

while he's acting like this. She

27:51

says a woman answers on the other end

27:53

of the phone. According

27:56

to Rachel, the woman identified

27:58

herself as Josie Noble. An

28:00

ex-girlfriend of Mike's. She hasn't

28:03

who I was, I told her. And

28:06

I'm like, you know, what's

28:08

going on? Did

28:10

she, I don't know, saw

28:13

anything or something? Because she was first

28:15

starting, you know, well, nothing, we're just friends.

28:18

Hours later, Rachel says she

28:21

received an ambiguous text from

28:23

one of Mike's friends. Yeah,

28:25

I was a freak and I said no, you know, I

28:27

lost him. And I kind of

28:31

didn't hear anything so I could examine

28:33

it. So what's going on? Looks

28:36

like nobody knows anything. Yeah, it costs

28:38

here me to talk to you, please. Detectives

28:41

ask Rachel if she owns a

28:43

gun. I did, yeah,

28:46

I had a Glock,

28:49

but I haven't been able to find it. And I also

28:54

swear I had an Oasis a couple

28:56

weeks ago. She tells us

28:58

she lost her gun. She's

29:02

not sure where it's at. The last

29:04

time she saw it was in Michael Hennig's center

29:06

console in his truck. Though

29:09

Rachel appears genuine, detectives can't

29:11

help but think she's hiding

29:14

something. At

29:16

this point in the interview, I thought

29:18

I would let her know why she

29:20

was actually there at the police department. Well,

29:24

Rachel, I am sorry to tell you

29:26

that... Mike,

29:30

it's safe. Sorry.

29:40

There is Rachel Kozloff immediately

29:42

sobbing and breaking down. And

29:45

we both looked at each other and said, she

29:48

either didn't do this or she's the best

29:50

actress in the world. Rachel's

29:52

just gonna sound insensitive, but do

29:55

you know what happened? The

30:01

only thing I know is that he was shot at

30:03

a waste. He

30:07

was shot at a waste? Yes, in

30:09

the parking lot. Him

30:13

and his other motorcycle club had a

30:15

beat. Rachel

30:18

says last month a physical fight

30:20

broke out between the members of Mike's

30:23

Club and the Lucky 13 Club. It

30:25

was such chaos we got to the door and

30:27

that's when the other people started shooting at him and that's

30:29

when we all tried to get the hell out of there. Before

30:38

concluding Rachel's interview, detectives

30:41

assess her injuries. On

30:44

her right arm I did not

30:46

notice any visible injuries. When I

30:48

examined her right ankle I did

30:51

however note that it was a

30:53

little puffy and there was a scrape on the side

30:55

of her ankle. Rachel

30:58

willingly turns over her phone,

31:00

car and clothing for analysis.

31:05

As Rachel's items are sent to the

31:08

crime lab, detectives call in one of

31:10

Mike's fellow club members and ask if

31:12

Mike's murder could have been the rival

31:15

gang coming back to finish the job. They

31:18

had a misunderstanding and then they

31:20

were kind of seeing who was

31:22

the Alpha Club. He

31:25

told police that the Lucky 13 and

31:27

the Iron Wings were at peace. Investigators

31:31

work quickly to confirm this

31:33

claim. We

31:35

learned there hadn't been any issues

31:37

with Lucky 13 in the

31:40

past several weeks after the Oasis

31:42

incident. Once

31:44

our criminal investigation detectives had

31:47

time to talk with their club members,

31:49

we ruled out that it could be

31:51

a rival gang that did this crime.

31:54

They were all extremely upset

31:56

and concerned about Mike. It

32:00

did not appear to us that they

32:02

were responsible for his shooting.

32:09

Coming up, a new witness turns

32:11

the investigation on its head. She

32:15

was threatening, she was rude, she

32:17

attacked her. It was not civil at

32:19

all. And investigators turn

32:21

up the heat. Because I

32:23

don't care, I know what I'm gonna do.

32:25

You need to start telling the truth.

32:28

Oh, I'm not. I hate you. It's

32:38

been two days since the shooting

32:40

death of Mike Henry. After

32:43

eliminating a rival motorcycle club

32:45

for Mike's murder, detectives decide

32:47

to track down Josie Noble,

32:51

the woman Mike's girlfriend Rachel

32:53

Kozloff claims was in contact

32:55

with Mike on the night of his death.

32:58

She's a friend of Mike and a former

33:00

ex of Mike's. She said

33:02

that Mike had reached out to her and she hadn't heard

33:04

from him in months. He subsequently sent

33:06

a picture of his son to her.

33:09

And she responded back, Portaleo, he's cute,

33:11

how are you? And

33:14

that was the extent of

33:16

that conversation. Josie

33:19

says later that night she got

33:21

an alarming phone call. On

33:24

the other end was a woman that said,

33:27

who are you? And

33:30

of course Josie said she responded, well, who are

33:32

you? As in, who is

33:34

this woman yelling in the phone asking me

33:36

who I am? Josie's

33:39

depiction of the encounter greatly

33:41

differs from the one Rachel

33:43

Kozloff described. It

33:46

was the exact opposite of what Rachel said. She

33:48

was threatening. She was rude.

33:50

She attacked her. It was not civil

33:52

at all. Following

33:55

her interview, Josie was

33:57

subsequently ruled out as a

33:59

suspect. With

34:02

Rachel's cell phone already in

34:04

hand, detectives pour over her

34:06

phone records and find a

34:08

different type of relationship with

34:10

Mike than the one she had

34:13

portrayed. They didn't just fight, literally

34:16

only three times. They fought nearly

34:18

every day. The

34:21

final text exchange between the couple

34:23

suggests that on the night of

34:25

April 12th, Mike was ending the

34:27

relationship for good. He's

34:30

basically told her, get lost, I'm done with

34:32

you, I'm sick of your shit. So

34:34

she sends out a text to Michael Henry, sleep

34:37

tight, I'll talk to you tomorrow. She,

34:39

in turn, goes and drives

34:41

over to Michael Henry's apartment. Unannounced.

34:46

But that's not all the texts

34:49

reveal. April 10th, just

34:51

two days before the murder, we

34:54

have a text conversation between her and

34:56

Mike asking her if

34:58

he wanted her to bring her

35:00

gun over to the apartment.

35:03

So this dispels her initial

35:05

story that she lost

35:07

her gun. Evidence

35:12

continues to pile up when

35:14

detectives dig up surveillance videos

35:16

from Mike's building and catch Rachel

35:19

in a myriad of lies. The

35:22

lot was not full. She instead

35:24

parked one street over in

35:27

an effort that her vehicle, while

35:29

we theorized, her vehicle would

35:31

not be spotted by Mike Henry because

35:33

the parking lot was right beneath his

35:35

window. She

35:38

stated in her first interview that she

35:40

exited and left after being thrown down

35:42

the stairs the same way she came

35:44

in. We could not find that

35:46

on the video, which means she left another

35:48

way. That

35:51

only left one other door that she

35:53

could have gone out without being caught

35:55

on camera, and that was the door

35:57

down through the vacant apartment down there.

36:00

to the street. On

36:04

April 16th detectives confront Rachel

36:06

with the discrepancies they have

36:09

found. So

36:32

this is the wrong time. Mm-hmm.

36:35

I was

36:38

feeling really good. I

36:41

was feeling really good. I was feeling really good. I

36:46

was feeling really good. I

36:50

was feeling really good. Detectives

36:58

ask Rachel once again how she

37:00

got in and out of Mike's

37:03

apartment. She stated

37:05

she had gone right to the map door because she

37:07

had teeth, and that's the door she went into. I

37:10

watched the video, Rachel. You

37:12

walked up the top of the door a lot. Mom,

37:15

how did I? On video.

37:19

Mom. How's your? She

37:23

said I don't care. I love

37:25

what I did and what I do. You need

37:27

to start telling the truth. Well, I'm done. I think

37:29

we're done. She

37:34

denied no less than 17 times that she

37:36

had shot and killed. Mike, go ahead, Rachel. She

37:39

had lied about what she was wearing, what

37:42

door she had gone in and out of. All

37:45

the discrepancies continued

37:47

to mount, and

37:49

that, based on the evidence that we had,

37:52

we decided that we were going to arrest

37:54

her. Our

37:57

theory of the case was that this was a case

37:59

of murder. was a very possessive

38:02

woman, possessive of

38:04

her boyfriend. Rachel

38:06

Kozloff was charged with criminal

38:08

homicide murder, aggravated

38:10

assault, recklessly endangering another

38:13

person, and possessing instruments of a

38:15

crime. Rachel's

38:20

family is shocked to learn of

38:22

her arrest. I was

38:24

devastated. I was like, no.

38:28

She would never do that. She

38:31

would never do that. I

38:33

think I had a lot of emotions, anger,

38:36

worry, what's going to happen

38:38

to her, what's going to happen to the

38:40

kid. Coming

38:44

up, new evidence forces Rachel

38:47

to change her story. If

38:49

that doesn't say that you're lying, I don't know what

38:51

does. But will her

38:53

harrowing tale get her off the hook?

38:56

It was either she shoot him and

38:59

stop him from attacking her or he

39:01

was going to kill her. In

39:10

November of 2012, prosecutors in Erie County are

39:15

working hard to secure their case

39:17

against 31-year-old Rachel Kozloff

39:20

for the murder of 31-year-old Mike Henry. There

39:25

was not any direct evidence at that

39:27

point in time that Rachel Kozloff had

39:29

committed the murder. And

39:31

time and time again, she

39:33

denied, and denied, and denied. Then,

39:37

three weeks before the trial is

39:39

set to begin, they receive a

39:41

game-changing piece of evidence from the

39:43

crime lab. What

39:46

we learned was her pants had

39:48

GSR residue on them. Empowered

39:54

by this new evidence, when Rachel's

39:56

trial begins on December 3, prosecutors

40:00

come out swinging, asserting that

40:02

Rachel killed Mike Henry in

40:04

cold blood. Rachel

40:07

Kozlov would not accept the fact

40:09

that the relationship was

40:13

in a downward spiral, and

40:15

he essentially was kicking her to the curb. I

40:18

think that she suspected he

40:21

might be seeing somebody else. So

40:24

the night that she went there, she saw that strange

40:26

number and called it and

40:28

got a woman on the other end, not just

40:30

sent her to the next level. Prosecutors

40:35

bolster their claim through text

40:38

messages, video surveillance, and the

40:40

gunshot residue found on Rachel's

40:42

clothing. The evidence pointed

40:44

right to Rachel. She

40:47

was the person that had been

40:50

lying throughout this entire process. Everything

40:53

just all led back to Rachel

40:55

every time. When

41:00

it's the defense's turn, they finally

41:02

admit that Rachel shot Mike Henry,

41:05

but argue it wasn't premeditated.

41:09

The defense says that it was self-defense

41:11

that Rachel was in fear for her

41:13

life during the altercation in

41:15

Mike's apartment that night. To

41:18

support their claim, Rachel takes

41:20

the stand and gives a shocking

41:22

new version of events. She

41:26

stated that she was pushed down

41:29

the stairs, violently. Bye-bye.

41:32

Rachel then testified that she gathered herself

41:35

and her belongings at the bottom

41:37

of the stairs when Mike came

41:39

back down and dragged her up the stairs

41:41

back to the apartment where the fatal site

41:43

is. It

41:52

was either she shoot him

41:54

and stop him from attacking her or

41:57

he was going to kill her. It

42:00

wasn't that she wanted to do it,

42:02

it's that she had to do it. Prosecutors

42:08

counter by noting the evidence

42:10

simply does not support Rachel's

42:12

new version, even if she

42:14

did have a slightly swollen ankle when

42:17

she was interviewed by police. This

42:21

is just nice that she stumbled and fell

42:23

and was trying to get in and around

42:25

and get out of there as quick as she could. Because

42:28

there was no indication that Mike had thrown her

42:30

or her purse down the stairwell. He

42:34

wasn't a monster like she described.

42:37

As far as like you know beating up women, I

42:39

don't think that was his style at all. On

42:43

December 7th, 2012, the

42:45

jury breaks for deliberations. The

42:49

verdict did not take long for

42:52

the jury to completely dismiss Rachel

42:54

Kozlov's story of self-defense. The

42:58

jury's unanimous verdict was

43:00

that she was guilty of third-degree

43:02

murder. I

43:06

pretty much gave her every opportunity to

43:08

tell me, hey, it was obvious from

43:10

your guys' text that you

43:13

had problems. You know,

43:15

please let me help you. Tell

43:17

me what happened. If it's

43:19

a crime of passion, it's a crime of passion. But

43:22

she denied, denied, denied. Her

43:26

story just seemed to change. I

43:29

think the fact that the baby was

43:31

there when it happened was

43:33

maybe the most disturbing part for the jurors.

43:37

On January 29th, 2013, Rachel is sentenced to 18 to 40 years. I

43:50

was in shock. I just still can't believe

43:52

that she would go to that, to that

43:54

level, you know, and, and kill him. It

43:57

changed everybody's lives. It

44:00

was devastating for our family. You

44:03

know, my wife and I, the kids, I

44:05

mean, they lost their mom. She

44:07

does feel very remorseful about, you

44:10

know, what she did and how it

44:12

impacted, you know, so many people.

44:16

I believe in all my heart when she pulled

44:18

that trigger, she was

44:21

defending herself and her family. And

44:26

unfortunately, once she started to tell

44:28

the truth, it

44:31

just didn't matter. Though

44:35

Rachel still maintains her actions were

44:37

that of self-defense, many believe she

44:40

was just a woman that had

44:42

been pushed too far. I

44:45

believe that on the night of the homicide, it

44:47

was just one rejection too

44:49

many. I think Rachel sat.

44:53

We're really never going to know what happened the

44:56

night of April 12th between Mike

44:59

and Rachel. She

45:01

had proven herself to be a liar,

45:03

which is sad in her

45:06

case because if he did really physically

45:08

abuse her, we're

45:10

never going to know if that's true or not. Though

45:16

justice has been served in the eyes of

45:18

the law, the events of April 12th, 2012

45:20

have a lasting impact. Our

45:25

family broke up after that. My parents

45:28

got divorced. We all went

45:30

our separate ways. My mom's now in Florida. My

45:32

dad has all three of the boys, the

45:35

daughters with her dad and her stepmom. We're

45:38

all split up. I

45:41

think the biggest tragedy is Mike's not here just

45:43

to grow up with his son because at the

45:45

end of the day, that's what he really, really

45:47

wanted. He would have been an amazing father. I

45:49

know it. Rachel

45:53

Kozloff is serving her sentence in the

45:56

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. She will be

45:58

eligible for parole in 2016. 31 at

46:00

the age of 50. Being

46:06

an actual royal is never about finding your happy

46:08

ending. But the worst part is, if

46:10

they step out of line or fall in love

46:12

with the wrong person, it changes

46:15

the course of history. I'm

46:18

Arisha Skidmore-Williams. And I'm Brooke Sifrin. We've

46:20

been telling the stories of the rich

46:22

and famous on the hit Wundery show,

46:24

Even The Rich, and talking about the

46:26

latest celebrity news on Rich & Daily.

46:28

We're going all over the world on

46:30

our new show, Even The Royals. We'll

46:32

be diving headfirst into the lives of the

46:34

world's kings, queens, and all the wannabes in

46:36

their orbit throughout history. Think succession

46:39

meets the crown meets real life. We're

46:41

going to pull back the gilded curtain and

46:43

show how royal status might be bright and

46:45

shiny, but it comes at the expense of,

46:48

well, everything else. Like

46:50

your freedom, your privacy, and sometimes

46:52

even your head. Follow Even
