13x22 - Dirty Laundry
Posted: 01/19/24 08:13
Narrator: up next...
Oh, my god!
He sh*t my husband!
Narrator: did an intruder
Commit this brutal m*rder?
Could this have been even a
Professional hit?
Narrator: and was the
Victim's lifestyle to blame?
When we find nude
Photographs, what role does she
Play in this?
Narrator: but the evidence
Points in a different direction.
You weren't too smart, bobby.
You weren't too smart, bobby. You got m*rder*d.
You got m*rder*d.
Narrator: the roofing
Business can be very lucrative.
-Year-old bob bosley started
His roofing business from
Scratch in his hometown of
Alexandria, kentucky, and grew
It into a multi-million-dollar
Operation.
Bobby loved to help people.
There was a woman that needed
Some repair work on her roof
'Cause it was bad weather, and
She was more or less worrying
How she was gonna pay for it.
And he told her, "ma'am, it's
Christmas.
Merry christmas.
Don't worry about it."
Narrator: bob and his wife,
Amy, had two small children and
Lived a very comfortable life.
He was very well-off.
He had nice cars, a nice home,
Loved boats.
He had pretty much all the toys
That anybody could want.
Narrator: until one night
Something happened that changed
Their lives forever.
Shortly before dawn, they woke
To find an intruder in their
Bedroom.
sh*ts were fired, and the
Intruder fled.
Intruder fled. [ Telephone rings ]
[ Telephone rings ]
During the call, amy could hear
The intruder, who was still in
The intruder, who was still in the house.
The house.
[ Thump ]
There was a loud thump, and
Suddenly, amy wasn't on her end
Of the phone anymore.
[ Siren wailing ]
Narrator: the operator
Called amy back.
Called amy back. [ Telephone rings ]
[ Telephone rings ]
[ Siren wailing ]
Narrator: it took police only
Minutes to get to the scene.
We found bob bosley facedown
On the mattress, his knees to
The floor, kind of in, I guess,
A kneeling position, slumped
Over the bed, facedown,
Multiple b*llet wounds --
Obviously deceased.
Narrator: amy's clothes were
Torn, and there were abrasions
On her chest and behind her ear.
The children were unharmed in
Their bedrooms.
The most horrific part of
This crime to me was the fact
That it was committed when
Children were in the home.
Narrator: amy described the
Assailant as a white male about
'" Tall, pounds, with a
Stocking over his face.
She also said he smelled of
Urine and had a speech
Impediment.
The house appeared to be
Ransacked.
There were kitchen cabinets
Open.
There were pills that had been
Strewn all over in the bathroom.
Narrator: police found
Evidence that the crime might
Have been drug-related.
What caught my attention was
The medicine.
If someone is going to go
Through the medicine cabinet,
They're obviously looking for
dr*gs, some type of prescribed
Narcotic.
Narrator: on the bedroom
Floor were shell casings from a
-Millimeter handgun.
It appeared that the k*ller
Entered the house by breaking a
Window in the back door.
We were looking for something
That could have been used to
Break that window open.
Narrator: then investigators
Found something intriguing.
When we find nude photographs
In a safe of a man who's married
And he's now deceased, it's
Something we have to look at.
"Who is this person?"
"Why does he have nude pictures
Of her in a safe?"
"What role does she play in
This?"
Narrator: the photos gave
Investigators a whole new set of
Suspects.
The only one we've ruled out
At this point is the wife.
We believe that a subject
Entered the bosley residence,
Was confronted by mr. Bosley,
sh*t mr. Bosley, and then exited
The residence.
The biggest concern was that
There was a m*rder*r on the
Loose in our county.
And we needed to react quickly
And find out what happened and
Where this person might be to
Make sure that everybody else in
Our community was safe.
Narrator: officials closed
The elementary school nearby,
And the k- unit tried to pick
Up the k*ller's scent.
An autopsy revealed bob had been
sh*t seven times.
But only two shell casings were
Found in the bedroom.
When somebody's sh*t seven
Times and we only find two shell
Casings, there's only one
Explanation -- somebody picked
Up the shell casings.
Narrator: even though the
House had been ransacked, the
Motive didn't appear to be
Robbery.
There was hundreds of dollars
Strewn across the floor that had
Been in a hat with a wallet.
Narrator: amy bosley told
Police she thought the k*ller
Might be one of bob's clients or
Might be one of bob's clients or employees.
Employees.
He had a high turnover rate.
So if someone was fired from his
Job -- a disgruntled employee --
That would be another area that
We would have to check.
Narrator: amy told police
About an argument bob had with
His friend noah hiam just two
His friend noah hiam just two days before the m*rder.
Days before the m*rder.
Noah and bob grew up together.
Bob employed him as a
Contractor, and noah served as
Best man at his wedding.
[ Siren wailing ]
When questioned by police,
Noah hiam denied any
Involvement.
He also had an alibi for the
Night of the m*rder.
I'd like to get some closure,
Find out why this happened...
Why my best friend was m*rder*d
In the middle of the night.
Narrator: investigators
Started to doubt whether the
k*ller was someone from work.
He would do anything to help
Somebody out.
One of his workers would come up
And say, "robert, I'm a little
Low on money this week."
And he would just pull out his
Wallet, pull out a couple of
$ Bills and give it to him,
Say, "pay back whenever you get
A chance."
Narrator: now investigators
Turned to the racy photographs
They found in bob's safe.
Apparently, bob bosley worked
Hard and played hard.
Boat parties on lake cumberland
Were his favorite escape, and
He'd take friends, clients, and
Lots of young women.
Was there nudity? Yeah.
A lot of alcohol? Yeah.
[ Rock music playing ]
Narrator: it was at one of
These parties that bob met
Darla cope -- one of the women
In the pictures.
She was years younger than
Bob, and there wererumors
They'd had an affair.
Could there possibly have
Been a jealous husband?
Could there have been an
Ex-boyfriend, somebody who was
Not happy with bob's involvement
With someone in their life?
Narrator: but darla told
Police she had an alibi for the
Night of the m*rder.
There was no bad blood.
There was no reason for her to
Commit this crime, nor a jealous
Boyfriend or husband that would
Have come in and committed the
Crime because of her.
Narrator: when questioned,
Amy bosley claimed that bob did
Most of the partying.
But the evidence contradicted
That.
She partook in the same type
Of party atmosphere that he did.
It wasn't uncommon for her to be
On the houseboat, with other
People in some sort of state of
Undress.
There were a lot of rumors
Surrounding bob and amy's
Relationship and their marriage.
I think that people thought that
It was possible that both of
Them were having affairs.
Narrator: and when police
Interviewed the bosleys'
Children, who were and at
The time, they provided some new
Information about the night of
Their father's m*rder.
Amy bosley's statement was
That an intruder broke in
Through the back-door window...
Came in, sh*t her husband...
And then fled.
What the children heard was
Somewhat quite the opposite.
The children heard sh*ts fired
And then heard glass breaking
After the sh*ts were fired.
Narrator: investigators were
Convinced that the key to
Finding out who k*lled
Bob bosley could be found in the
Evidence at the crime scene.
The police were executing a
Search warrant on the residence.
And one of the areas where they
Decided to look was in the
Basement.
Narrator: there, hidden
Beneath the stairs,
Investigators found an aluminum
Baseball bat with something
Embedded in the soft aluminum.
The fresh scratches on the
Bat are important because that
Represents probably more recent
Damage.
They were shiny with very sharp
Edges, and they had some fine
White powdery material in them.
Narrator: forensic examiner
Maureen bottrell discovered that
The material was glass.
Bottrell compared it to the
Glass from the broken window at
The crime scene, using what's
Called the refractive index.
Refractive index is a measure
Of the speed of light through a
Transparent object.
Narrator: the glass is placed
In a silicon liquid, then
Heated.
The point where the glass
Disappears is called its
Refractive index.
The five fragments that had
The same refractive index as the
Fragments that were recovered
From the door are consistent
With having originated from the
Door.
They came back with not only
The glass fragments that matched
The windowpanes, but also paint
And wood samples that were
Contained within that ball bat,
Which matched the doorway or the
Frame of that door.
Narrator: but where did the
Bat come from?
The bosleys' children identified
It as one of theirs.
And it appeared that the glass
Was broken from insidethe
House, since most of the glass
House, since most of the glass was outsidethe door.
Was outsidethe door.
Investigators found something
Else hidden in the basement --
Of all places, inside the
Clothes washer.
One of the officers found a
Towel that contained four shell
Casings.
And it was rolled up and shoved
To the bottom of a washing
Machine that was full of clothes
And water.
And I thought that we had
Just hit the pay dirt we were
Looking for in the case.
Narrator: the casings from
The washing machine were
Compared to the casings found in
The bedroom.
I looked at the individual
Marks that these specimens had.
I examined six cartridge
Cases -- four from the washing
Machine, two from the bedroom.
I reached the conclusion that
All six of these had been fired
From the same firearm.
Narrator: and a closer look
At the nightshirt amy was
Wearing on the night of the
m*rder revealed an
Inconsistency.
The shirt that she was
Wearing appeared to have been
Torn by the bad guy.
Forensic analysis of that
T-shirt showed that it in fact
Had been cutthrough the collar
And then pulled apart.
Narrator: and amy's injuries
Looked suspicious, too.
Probably with a pair of
Scissors, in that she scratched
Her chest.
Narrator: when questioned by
Police, amy denied any
Involvement.
You know I've got to ask you
This at some point.
Did you sh**t your husband?
[ Sobbing ] no.
You know I had to ask you
That, right?
[ Sobs ]
It's not uncommon for
Criminals to lie.
Happens all the time.
Narrator: when the
Internal revenue service heard
About bob bosley's m*rder, they
Called prosecutors with a
Possible motive.
They told police that the
Bosley roofing company hadn't
Paid their corporate taxes for
The last five years and owed the
Government $. Million.
Amy was the company's
Bookkeeper.
Amy would withhold the state
Income tax, federal income tax,
Workers comp, social security --
Those items.
But it was never sent to them.
Narrator: but where was the
$. Million?
I think that's the
$. Million question -- what
Did amy do with the money?
Narrator: the i.r.s. First
Met with amy bosley.
Dissatisfied, they later wanted
To meet with bob, too, but amy
Wouldn't allow it.
The i.r.s. Investigator
Insisted on talking to bob, so
Amy actually got onto the phone
And started talking to this
Agent.
She was disguising her voice,
Trying to sound like bob bosley.
And what the investigator told
Us was that it really sounded
Like somebody acting like
Kermit the frog.
Narrator: the i.r.s. Asked
Amy for her business records,
And she promised to comply.
She never provided the
Information, nor did she arrange
A meeting between her husband
And these agents.
Narrator: but there was no
Indication bob bosley knew
Anything about the tax problem.
We kind of know he didn't
Know about the i.r.s.
I think he would really have a
Fit if he knew he had owed any
Money.
She had their income-tax
Returns prepared each year.
She actually took them to bob
And had him sign these returns.
In his mind, he believed that
Everything was taken care of.
Narrator: amy could put off
Investigators for only so long.
They demanded a meeting with
Her andbob for the morning of
Bob's m*rder.
There was no choice.
They were coming that morning,
And she knew it.
Within a few short hours
After her husband had been
m*rder*d, amy had the
Wherewithal to make the call to
That i.r.s. Agent.
She said, "sorry.
We're not gonna be able to meet
With you today.
Bob's been m*rder*d."
Narrator: investigators now
Believed that amy bosley
m*rder*d her husband because she
Didn't want him to find out she
Hadn't paid the income taxes for
Their roofing business for the
Last five years.
This embezzlement had been
Going on for quite some time.
The figure that we had received
From the i.r.s. Was that the
Bosleys had owed approximately
$. Million in back taxes and
Federal liability.
She didn't want to sit down
With her husband and explain to
Him that "the business you spent
Your entire life building, I've
Destroyed by not paying taxes.
They're gonna take it all away
From you."
Narrator: apparently, amy
Mistakenly believed that bob's
Death would take her off the
Hook.
Amy thought that because bob
Was the owner of the business
That all liability would fall on
Him, and if he was no longer
There, there was no one to
Accept that liability.
So if bob wasn't alive, the
Chances are that the i.r. Agents
Would just quit and go home.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That amy panicked when the
I.r.s. Demanded a meeting with
Her husband.
Instead of telling bob what
She'd done, amy chose m*rder.
The night before the i.r.s.
Meeting, amy put the children to
Bed and waited for bob to fall
Asleep.
She took bob's -millimeter
She took bob's -millimeter handgun and sh*t him...
Handgun and sh*t him...
...then tried to clean up by
Picking up the shell casings,
Although she missed some of
Them.
Amy then ransacked the house to
Make it look like robbery, broke
The glass in the back door...
Then hid the shell casings in
The washing machine.
To make it look like there was a
Struggle, prosecutors believe
Amy cut her nightshirt, then
Scratched herself with the
Scissors, then called .
She gave an all-star
Performance.
Someone is breaking into our
House.
[ Shakily ] oh, my god!
I don't know what to do!
No!
You can't go up there with my
Kids!
This morning at approximately
: A.m., The campbell county
Police department arrested and
Charged amy bosley with the
m*rder of her husband,
Robert bosley.
Narrator: but where was the
m*rder w*apon?
We have searched by land, we
Have searched by air, and we
Have searched by water rescue.
There's a pond out there.
We drudged the pond searching
For the g*n, and we still have
Not been able to locate the
Firearm in question.
Narrator: when police looked
At footage of amy bosley leaving
Her home on the night of the
m*rder, they noticed that amy
Wasn't carrying her pocketbook.
Her sister was.
After amy's arrest, amy's sister
Finally got around to looking
Inside.
When she did, she found a
-Millimeter handgun.
Her sister did the
Appropriate thing -- she hired
An attorney to turn over this
Key piece of evidence, and
That's how it made it to our
Office.
She was hoping her sister
Would chuck it in the river or
Dispose of it.
[ g*nsh*t ]
Narrator: ballistic experts
Compared the handgun to the
Shell casings found in the
Bedroom and inside the washing
Machine.
They all had classic
Characteristics that were like
That produced by the submitted
p*stol.
[ Camera shutters clicking ]
My name is amy bosley...
Narrator: one year after
Bob's m*rder, amy bosley
Accepted a plea bargain.
She pled guilty to first-degree
m*rder in return for a sentence
Of years in prison.
I didn't want the kids on the
Stand 'cause I didn't want to
Tear them any more apart than
They were.
What did amy do with the
Money?
I don't know if anyone can
Answer that, except for
Amy bosley.
I think that that $. Million
Probably went to support their
Lifestyle, probably went to help
Buy the big boats, to buy the
Property in pendleton county, to
Help build their dream home.
I think that over time, their
Lifestyle might have gotten
Beyond their means.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That amy bosley might have
Hidden some of the money.
But where remains a mystery.
Although people disagree in
This regard, I think that when
Amy gets out, she's probably got
Some money waiting for her
Somewhere.
I would really love to know
Who's got that.
I would really love to know.
Narrator: the bosleys'
Children now live with their
Grandparents.
Bob's once-thriving business
d*ed with him.
It wasn't a good
Relationship.
They were bitter at each other.
You had to go way back to find a
Husband and wife that loved each
Other in that relationship.
Narrator: tragedy upon
Tragedy, redeemed only by the
Science that proved who was
Responsible.
If someone was to actually
Burglarize a house, they
Wouldn't take the time to hide
The shell casings, they wouldn't
Take the time to hide the
Baseball bat, so that just right
There showed that she was just
Lying.
By her own actions, amy made
Her children witnesses to their
Father's m*rder.
That, to me, is horrific.
The mere fact that we would have
To use them as witnesses against
Their mother was appalling.
And she did that.
Oh, my god!
He sh*t my husband!
Narrator: did an intruder
Commit this brutal m*rder?
Could this have been even a
Professional hit?
Narrator: and was the
Victim's lifestyle to blame?
When we find nude
Photographs, what role does she
Play in this?
Narrator: but the evidence
Points in a different direction.
You weren't too smart, bobby.
You weren't too smart, bobby. You got m*rder*d.
You got m*rder*d.

Inconsistency.
The shirt that she was
Wearing appeared to have been
Torn by the bad guy.
Forensic analysis of that
T-shirt showed that it in fact
Had been cutthrough the collar
And then pulled apart.
Narrator: and amy's injuries
Looked suspicious, too.
Probably with a pair of
Scissors, in that she scratched
Her chest.
Narrator: when questioned by
Police, amy denied any
Involvement.
You know I've got to ask you
This at some point.
Did you sh**t your husband?
[ Sobbing ] no.
You know I had to ask you
That, right?
[ Sobs ]
It's not uncommon for
Criminals to lie.
Happens all the time.
Narrator: when the
Internal revenue service heard
About bob bosley's m*rder, they
Called prosecutors with a
Possible motive.
They told police that the
Bosley roofing company hadn't
Paid their corporate taxes for
The last five years and owed the
Government $. Million.
Amy was the company's
Bookkeeper.
Amy would withhold the state
Income tax, federal income tax,
Workers comp, social security --
Those items.
But it was never sent to them.
Narrator: but where was the
$. Million?
I think that's the
$. Million question -- what
Did amy do with the money?
Narrator: the i.r.s. First
Met with amy bosley.
Dissatisfied, they later wanted
To meet with bob, too, but amy
Wouldn't allow it.
The i.r.s. Investigator
Insisted on talking to bob, so
Amy actually got onto the phone
And started talking to this
Agent.
She was disguising her voice,
Trying to sound like bob bosley.
And what the investigator told
Us was that it really sounded
Like somebody acting like
Kermit the frog.
Narrator: the i.r.s. Asked
Amy for her business records,
And she promised to comply.
She never provided the
Information, nor did she arrange
A meeting between her husband
And these agents.
Narrator: but there was no
Indication bob bosley knew
Anything about the tax problem.
We kind of know he didn't
Know about the i.r.s.
I think he would really have a
Fit if he knew he had owed any
Money.
She had their income-tax
Returns prepared each year.
She actually took them to bob
And had him sign these returns.
In his mind, he believed that
Everything was taken care of.
Narrator: amy could put off
Investigators for only so long.
They demanded a meeting with
Her andbob for the morning of
Bob's m*rder.
There was no choice.
They were coming that morning,
And she knew it.
Within a few short hours
After her husband had been
m*rder*d, amy had the
Wherewithal to make the call to
That i.r.s. Agent.
She said, "sorry.
We're not gonna be able to meet
With you today.
Bob's been m*rder*d."
Narrator: investigators now
Believed that amy bosley
m*rder*d her husband because she
Didn't want him to find out she
Hadn't paid the income taxes for
Their roofing business for the
Last five years.
This embezzlement had been
Going on for quite some time.
The figure that we had received
From the i.r.s. Was that the
Bosleys had owed approximately
$. Million in back taxes and
Federal liability.
She didn't want to sit down
With her husband and explain to
Him that "the business you spent
Your entire life building, I've
Destroyed by not paying taxes.
They're gonna take it all away
From you."
Narrator: apparently, amy
Mistakenly believed that bob's
Death would take her off the
Hook.
Amy thought that because bob
Was the owner of the business
That all liability would fall on
Him, and if he was no longer
There, there was no one to
Accept that liability.
So if bob wasn't alive, the
Chances are that the i.r. Agents
Would just quit and go home.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That amy panicked when the
I.r.s. Demanded a meeting with
Her husband.
Instead of telling bob what
She'd done, amy chose m*rder.
The night before the i.r.s.
Meeting, amy put the children to
Bed and waited for bob to fall
Asleep.
She took bob's -millimeter
She took bob's -millimeter handgun and sh*t him...
Handgun and sh*t him...
...then tried to clean up by
Picking up the shell casings,
Although she missed some of
Them.
Amy then ransacked the house to
Make it look like robbery, broke
The glass in the back door...
Then hid the shell casings in
The washing machine.
To make it look like there was a
Struggle, prosecutors believe
Amy cut her nightshirt, then
Scratched herself with the
Scissors, then called .
She gave an all-star
Performance.
Someone is breaking into our
House.
[ Shakily ] oh, my god!
I don't know what to do!
No!
You can't go up there with my
Kids!
This morning at approximately
: A.m., The campbell county
Police department arrested and
Charged amy bosley with the
m*rder of her husband,
Robert bosley.
Narrator: but where was the
m*rder w*apon?
We have searched by land, we
Have searched by air, and we
Have searched by water rescue.
There's a pond out there.
We drudged the pond searching
For the g*n, and we still have
Not been able to locate the
Firearm in question.
Narrator: when police looked
At footage of amy bosley leaving
Her home on the night of the
m*rder, they noticed that amy
Wasn't carrying her pocketbook.
Her sister was.
After amy's arrest, amy's sister
Finally got around to looking
Inside.
When she did, she found a
-Millimeter handgun.
Her sister did the
Appropriate thing -- she hired
An attorney to turn over this
Key piece of evidence, and
That's how it made it to our
Office.
She was hoping her sister
Would chuck it in the river or
Dispose of it.
[ g*nsh*t ]
Narrator: ballistic experts
Compared the handgun to the
Shell casings found in the
Bedroom and inside the washing
Machine.
They all had classic
Characteristics that were like
That produced by the submitted
p*stol.
[ Camera shutters clicking ]
My name is amy bosley...
Narrator: one year after
Bob's m*rder, amy bosley
Accepted a plea bargain.
She pled guilty to first-degree
m*rder in return for a sentence
Of years in prison.
I didn't want the kids on the
Stand 'cause I didn't want to
Tear them any more apart than
They were.
What did amy do with the
Money?
I don't know if anyone can
Answer that, except for
Amy bosley.
I think that that $. Million
Probably went to support their
Lifestyle, probably went to help
Buy the big boats, to buy the
Property in pendleton county, to
Help build their dream home.
I think that over time, their
Lifestyle might have gotten
Beyond their means.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That amy bosley might have
Hidden some of the money.
But where remains a mystery.
Although people disagree in
This regard, I think that when
Amy gets out, she's probably got
Some money waiting for her
Somewhere.
I would really love to know
Who's got that.
I would really love to know.
Narrator: the bosleys'
Children now live with their
Grandparents.
Bob's once-thriving business
d*ed with him.
It wasn't a good
Relationship.
They were bitter at each other.
You had to go way back to find a
Husband and wife that loved each
Other in that relationship.
Narrator: tragedy upon
Tragedy, redeemed only by the
Science that proved who was
Responsible.
If someone was to actually
Burglarize a house, they
Wouldn't take the time to hide
The shell casings, they wouldn't
Take the time to hide the
Baseball bat, so that just right
There showed that she was just
Lying.
By her own actions, amy made
Her children witnesses to their
Father's m*rder.
That, to me, is horrific.
The mere fact that we would have
To use them as witnesses against
Their mother was appalling.
And she did that.
