Speaker 14 What is it about you and women, Tom?

Speaker 15 I love women.

Speaker 16 I love all women.

Speaker 14 That's why it's weird to think that this would come about.

Speaker 17 911 emergency.

Speaker 18 My wife's been shot and there's a died in my house when I shot him.

Speaker 14 Oh, I shot. I shot, shot, shot, shot.

Speaker 19 Thomas Randolph is the only person that could tell us what happened because the other two people that were there are dead.

Speaker 19 It looked like it might have been a home invasion robbery, but in fact, there were some things that were not right about it.

Speaker 18 Thomas Randolph had a lot of secrets, and it wasn't easy digging all of them up.

Speaker 19 He'd been married six times, and four of his wives are dead.

Speaker 20 These women come up dead. He comes up with money.

Speaker 18 I had nothing to do with any of it.

Speaker 21 He's evil.

Speaker 18 I'm not no saint.

Speaker 23 We have to stop him.

Speaker 24 His gig is up.

Speaker 15 I'm the victim of this.

Speaker 25 He's really a sick-something bitch.

Speaker 14 And now it's the Tommy Show live from Las Vegas.

Speaker 9 Boom! Boom!

Speaker 15 Boom!

Speaker 26 Put your hands on your head right now. Put your hands on your head.

Speaker 21 What did you do when the troll killed?

Speaker 15 I'm in the Tommy.

Speaker 15 I'm like, whoa, gonna come.

Speaker 15 911 emergency.

Speaker 15 My wife's been shot, and there's a guy in my house that I shot him. Teddy's

Speaker 15 he hurt too.

Speaker 15 Uh-huh. Is he hurt, too? I hope she's dead.
My wife's hurt myself. What's your name? What's your name, sir? Tom.
Tom.

Speaker 19 It was, say, probably about 10 o'clock on May 8th of 2008. I was at home.
I was with my family, and I got the call from my sergeant. I grabbed my notebook real quick, and I came back to the phone.

Speaker 19 I said, shoot.

Speaker 27 Where is your wife in the house? She's in like in the hall in the bedroom.

Speaker 15 She's been shot bad.

Speaker 26 Where is she shot at, do you know? Yeah, I think in the head

Speaker 21 oh my god

Speaker 19 the very first thing that i was told from my sergeant was that we had a woman down in the house and that there was an intruder that had also been shot

Speaker 24 Metro officers responded to a 911 call from a man who said an intruder was inside his home.

Speaker 18 There was a robbery and a home invasion in progress at his residence here on Rancho Santa Fe.

Speaker 19 There are two dead bodies inside the house. One being the wife of the homeowner, and her name was Sharon Randolph.
And the other was the intruder, Mike Miller, who was dead inside the garage.

Speaker 19 We were initially briefed by the patrolman who got there and encountered the homeowner, who we determined his name to be Thomas Randolph.

Speaker 24 Police tell us that 57-year-old Sharon Randolph was shot and killed by the burglar. Metro says her husband struggled to get the gun away from the suspect.

Speaker 24 He succeeded, then shot and killed the burglar in the garage.

Speaker 19 There was a ski mask laying on the floor not far from Mike Miller's body in the garage. Next to him, there was an open bag where you could see there was a substantial amount of jewelry.

Speaker 19 As we walked into the hallway, you could see Sharon Randolph laying on her back. There was a bag of takeout food from the restaurant that they had been to.
Her purse was laying next to that.

Speaker 19 There was a gun laying on the floor. We looked into the master bedroom.
There were several drawers that were open.

Speaker 19 There was every indication that somebody had come into the house and had gone through their property in order to take it.

Speaker 21 I was at home.

Speaker 21 I got a phone call from a good friend of my mom's, and she was watching the news and said she saw a

Speaker 21 shooting happened on the street.

Speaker 21 And she says, Your mom's street. I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's my mom's street.
And I knew

Speaker 21 it had to have come from my mom's house.

Speaker 21 So I drove over to my mom's and I saw the cop cars and lights.

Speaker 21 I knew

Speaker 21 I just knew.

Speaker 21 Maggie,

Speaker 21 I talked to my mom

Speaker 21 about six

Speaker 21 like two and a half hours later,

Speaker 21 she was killed.

Speaker 28 This is my partner, Ken Hardy.

Speaker 18 Thank you.

Speaker 19 Two other detectives from homicide that were on my squad brought Mr. Randolph back to the homicide section to conduct an interview with him.

Speaker 28 You had told us that you had employed a person by the name of Mike. Is that correct? Yes.

Speaker 19 Tom Randolph told detectives Mogg and Hardy that he knew Michael Miller. He had him do some handiwork around his house.

Speaker 28 And how long have you known Mike?

Speaker 28 Four to five months maybe.

Speaker 28 Did Mike know you guys were going to dinner tonight? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 18 He told us that he had taken Sharon to have a dinner at a local casino right down the street.

Speaker 28 So you go home and when you arrive at the house, tell me everything that happens.

Speaker 28 I pull up in the driveway. Does she get out in the driveway or in front of the house? She got out in the driveway.

Speaker 28 And you enter the house and what do you see? Sharon laying on the floor. What was the first thing you thought when you saw Sharon laying down? I thought she'd fallen.

Speaker 19 When we initially looked at the evidence that we had, it looked like it might have been a home invasion robbery.

Speaker 30 He was a hero.

Speaker 19 But in fact, there were some things that were not right about it.

Speaker 21 I didn't see the red flags.

Speaker 21 Should have.

Speaker 14 said Sharon

Speaker 14 Sharon

Speaker 21 I just remember her showing up to my front door with him and I was like who is this guy she says Tommy and I got married I said oh my god you didn't

Speaker 18 When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a police officer.

Speaker 7 It's the Lord's work.

Speaker 19 You know, there's not a lot of people that

Speaker 19 are willing to do it, but I feel honored to be, you know, part of bringing some justice to the victims' families.

Speaker 18 It's a difficult thing for them not only to lose their loved one, but to go through the the whole process. They're almost, in a sense, victimized again.

Speaker 18 But you have to think about, you know, what's Colleen thinking.

Speaker 21 I was about five and a half months pregnant with Katie. We just found out a few weeks before that I was having a girl.
which was super exciting, especially for my mom.

Speaker 21 They say you should put put them on.

Speaker 18 It's a helmet.

Speaker 17 Well, it's a Mick.

Speaker 18 It's a helmet for Mick. It's a helmet.

Speaker 21 That's cute.

Speaker 21 She was looking forward to it big time.

Speaker 21 I mean, she's always wanted

Speaker 21 a girl grandchild, so she was really, really happy. I mean, she was already out shopping for little pink dresses.

Speaker 21 It sucks.

Speaker 21 I've only got a couple of friends and I don't have any brothers or sisters.

Speaker 17 So

Speaker 21 my mom was my buddy.

Speaker 21 I grew up in New Jersey.

Speaker 21 Just me and my mom. She took good care of me.

Speaker 21 It was hard in Jersey. It was hard.
Just me and my mom and not a lot of help.

Speaker 21 So we moved to Vegas so my mom could have a better job opportunity.

Speaker 21 She went to beauty school, got her license, and did hair.

Speaker 21 And she was the only one that ever cut my hair.

Speaker 21 Ever.

Speaker 21 Tommy was from Utah.

Speaker 21 I think she said match.com to me.

Speaker 21 She really didn't say much about him.

Speaker 23 A little bit of what he did,

Speaker 21 you know, like a special ed teacher. But he wasn't working when they got together.

Speaker 21 I just remember her showing up to my front door with him.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 21 he just...

Speaker 21 He looked crazy with the long, scraggly blonde hair. I mean, it was really long.

Speaker 21 And I was like, who is this guy?

Speaker 21 So my mom was very happy. They were doing a lot of things together, going places, traveling, and he had a boat back then.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 21 they were doing a lot of things together.

Speaker 21 My mom had a lot of friends. She confided more in her

Speaker 21 closer friends,

Speaker 21 like Alice.

Speaker 22 I met her at the hair shop. We were hairdressers there.

Speaker 22 She would say the funniest things and she was just

Speaker 22 so down to earth. I just loved that about her.

Speaker 22 Sharon says, oh, I've got a picture of this guy that I want to meet. And she pulls it up on her computer.
He's on a motorcycle and he's got this long curly hair.

Speaker 22 And I'm looking at him and I said, is he Sharon? Is he a woman? I mean, he looks like a woman. And she could say, oh, no, no.
She says, he's really

Speaker 22 all man.

Speaker 22 They just had a lot of conversations.

Speaker 22 Then he comes to Vegas and she and he go to a concert, a rock concert.

Speaker 22 And well, that...

Speaker 22 That was great. I mean, she just fell in love with him.

Speaker 22 Now, Sharon had told me that in his past, he was a truck driver. He was a master carpenter.
He was like a jack of all trades of things, you know.

Speaker 22 He wants to take her on a cruise to Baja, California. So she goes on this cruise, which was like three days.
And they come back. And she says,

Speaker 22 just Tommy and I got married. I said, oh my God,

Speaker 22 you didn't.

Speaker 22 7825-CO6-105-0, North Demont Department of World.

Speaker 24 Police tell us that Sharon was shot and killed by the burglar. Her body was found lying in a hallway.

Speaker 19 We learned that there were neighbors close by that heard the gunshots and one in particular across the street, several houses away.

Speaker 31 I heard a gunshot right where that truck's pulling up. I heard the gunshot come from that area.

Speaker 31 I knew it had to be like one of these houses right here across the street street because it was like boom, boom. You know, I heard it.

Speaker 31 Told my friend he was on the line and this, I said, I would hear that as a gunshot.

Speaker 19 Mark Bartlett didn't see the shooting. He just heard the gunshots.

Speaker 19 Based on the scene, Thomas Randolph was the only person that could tell us what happened inside the house because the other two people that were there are dead.

Speaker 14 He kind of rushed up on me a little bit, and that's when I just pushed it and boom, boom, just kept right on going boom boom boom

Speaker 18 We came up with an idea to do what's called a video walkthrough. We do this to get a clearer understanding of where the armed confrontation took place.

Speaker 19 He agreed to do that.

Speaker 14 My name is Tom Randolph, and it's my understanding we're doing a walkthrough of the house.

Speaker 19 We came back to the house at 8.30 at night, exactly a week later, and he gave us blow by blow everything that happened.

Speaker 14 I stopped the car. About there, we started opening the door up.

Speaker 19 He explained to us how Sharon had gotten out of the vehicle, went inside the house.

Speaker 14 Sharon gets out.

Speaker 19 Then we had him walk through. He ended up coming into the door.

Speaker 15 I open it up.

Speaker 14 I get right here, and Sharon's laying in the floor, face down.

Speaker 14 Her head's just barely, I mean, barely in the bedroom of that.

Speaker 14 I said, Sharon!

Speaker 14 Sharon!

Speaker 14 I thought I just seen like a shadow or

Speaker 14 something

Speaker 14 over this way right there. Just thought, no, this ain't cool.
I reached right up here.

Speaker 18 He ducked into the office, retrieved a nine-millimeter semi-automatic.

Speaker 19 He said that he came back to the door, he was confronted by a masked intruder. He described him.
He had a ski mask on.

Speaker 14 I'm coming out about the same time, too, and about right here. And he kind of rushed up on me a little bit, and that's when I just pushed him, boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 14 And he started going out toward the shed. I don't know how many times I shot him, but I just kept right on going.

Speaker 15 Boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 14 And he just lay in there. And then started coming back down this way.
He wasn't moving. He,

Speaker 14 some noise.

Speaker 18 Thomas Randolph came back into the hallway. Sharon, Sharon.

Speaker 19 He'd come up to an open doorway and then just kind of...

Speaker 19 Jump his head in to see if there was something in there.

Speaker 18 What are you doing when you're doing this?

Speaker 14 I'm just kind of trying to see if anything else is going on. You know, like there's anybody around.

Speaker 19 Then, after that, he said he went over and got the cordless phone.

Speaker 14 I called 911.

Speaker 17 I have a conference. His wife is shot in the head.
He needs medical advice.

Speaker 15 Sir?

Speaker 30 Yes.

Speaker 17 Is she awake?

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 17 Okay, let's focus on your wife. Put her flat on her back.

Speaker 14 So I tried to roll her over several times and I couldn't get her over.

Speaker 14 Okay, put her flat on on her back.

Speaker 19 He was very dramatic. He's making these loud grunts and noises that we did here on the 911 call.
He was duplicating them.

Speaker 14 And about the third time, it jerks enough that she got up kind of straight up, and I could just kind of push her over. Okay,

Speaker 17 okay.

Speaker 14 Metro, tell your units to go in any way they can.

Speaker 19 When he got to the end of what he was telling us, then I had a big list of questions.

Speaker 14 Turn around and he was coming down.

Speaker 19 The thing that I wanted to focus on the most

Speaker 19 was that relationship between Randolph and Miller when the shooting started.

Speaker 18 So when you first fire, he's right in this area.

Speaker 14 Yeah. Still facing you.
Probably, maybe, maybe a little more that way, maybe a little more this way.

Speaker 18 When you're back here and you squared off on you, you still had his mask on?

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 18 If he'd had his mask off, you'd have known it was Mike, right?

Speaker 31 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 14 And I was still shot him. I was still shot him.
It wouldn't have mattered a bit. It seems like I shot him again, maybe like about right here,

Speaker 14 and then he started turning like this toward the door. And I just,

Speaker 14 I shot and shot and shot and shot. I may have emptied the gun, I don't know.

Speaker 14 We didn't have forensic evidence.

Speaker 18 We didn't have physical evidence that the shooting occurred inside that hallway.

Speaker 18 There was one casing in the hallway. Maybe a single round was fired as they were leaving the house and entering the garage.

Speaker 18 But most of the shooting happened inside the garage.

Speaker 18 One of the other problems is on the night of the shooting, in the interrogation room, Thomas Randolph told the detectives that he didn't hear the shot that killed Sharon Randolph.

Speaker 28 Did you ever hear any shots? I didn't hear anything, but that's,

Speaker 28 I'm really deaf.

Speaker 18 When we listened to the 911 call. Is he alone? Yes.
Well, as far as I know, I didn't.

Speaker 19 I just heard a shot. He contradicted himself.
He told Dispatch one thing, that he'd heard the shot, and then he told detectives that he hadn't heard it.

Speaker 18 The other big problem that we had was the timeline. Thomas Randolph told us that he had taken Sharon to have a dinner at a local casino right down the street.
We checked that.

Speaker 18 We checked the Santa Fe video surveillance. They did have dinner at the restaurant.

Speaker 5 They gambled.

Speaker 18 They left the casino. He told us that they went to a gas station to fill up.
We checked the video surveillance at that particular gas station, confirmed that they did fuel up the car.

Speaker 18 The video surveillance shows them leaving the parking lot of the gas station at 8.26 and some change. We're looking at 8.30 when they arrived home.

Speaker 18 Sharon got out of the car and walked into the house. By the time he finished parking the car and walked into the house, she was already laying on the ground.

Speaker 18 So all told, how long do you think it took from the time you opened the door to you being on 911?

Speaker 18 Two, three minutes, maybe, two, three minutes told me.

Speaker 18 We have Mark Barlett across the street saying that he thought he heard the five gunshots at 8:30.

Speaker 31 I told my friend he's on the line, and I said, I would hear that as a gunshot.

Speaker 19 We were able to check his phone records. That was 8:33.

Speaker 19 Well the 911 call didn't come in until 8.45 and some change. So we're talking about 12 minutes.
It didn't match up. None of it matched up.

Speaker 28 You're like my best friend dude.

Speaker 19 Tom Randolph said a lot of things. It's just for shock value.

Speaker 28 I like you. You I don't like by the way.

Speaker 28 I don't know why. I just don't like you.

Speaker 28 Mr.

Speaker 18 Randolph, thank you for coming after the table. Thomas Randolph came into our office in early June.

Speaker 28 If you had to

Speaker 28 sum up Sharon in one word, what would you say? She's fing wonderful. Best thing that ever happened to me.
Nicest lady I ever met.

Speaker 19 Tom was quite different in that second interview.

Speaker 19 He was definitely much more expressive.

Speaker 28 Why did you start yourself up?

Speaker 28 I'm a cocky f ⁇ .

Speaker 28 Always have been.

Speaker 28 But I'm also really nice. I'm generous.
I'm a smart f ⁇ er. I should have been on the dream team.
Always wanted to be the lawyer. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 28 Now, I worked for the lawyers for a long time, just as an investigator, as paralegal, ran a lot of their law offices, did some stuff.

Speaker 18 We confirmed that later on, then he worked with criminal defense attorneys.

Speaker 19 Having that conversation with Tom Randolph was important for us to learn more about his relationship with Mike Miller.

Speaker 28 Is there anything I can't tell you at all that happened that day that made him believe that he needed to get into your house that night?

Speaker 28 I did it.

Speaker 28 I took 20 grand out of the bank. I've had 20 grand transfer

Speaker 28 in Utah. He's been with you then when you've had large amounts of cash.
I've always got large amounts of cash, but you.

Speaker 28 Why don't you think he shot you?

Speaker 28 He was trying to shoot me. I've told you this over and over.
He was trying to shoot me.

Speaker 19 Tom Randolph said a lot of things. It was just for shock value to see how we would respond.

Speaker 28 I like you. You I don't like, by the way.

Speaker 28 I don't know why. I just don't like you.

Speaker 19 And I said, that's okay. I don't take it personally.

Speaker 18 It was interesting. There was a relationship that Thomas Randolph had developed with Detective Maud.

Speaker 28 I've talked to you more than anybody I've talked to in Las Vegas since I've been here other than Sharon Putling

Speaker 28 and the grandkids. grandkids.

Speaker 28 So you're like my best friend, dude.

Speaker 28 Shouldn't have secrets. Right.
Shouldn't have secrets? That's right. What do you mean?

Speaker 28 Everybody's got secrets.

Speaker 28 Something else, guys, because you know what?

Speaker 28 Unless you come and just tell me I'm under arrest or you just really need to talk to me to clear something else up, I'm probably not coming back out of here for at least 30, 40 days.

Speaker 28 You think we should tell you you're under arrest? No, because if you are, you fed up.

Speaker 28 You're fed up.

Speaker 28 This one's an easy one for you. This one's an easy one for you because the forensics is there.

Speaker 28 It has its issues.

Speaker 19 At the end of the interview, we're getting ready to walk out.

Speaker 28 It's not that I don't trust, but I think I'll take my bag with you with me.

Speaker 19 Just an extra dig.

Speaker 28 Is your wife diddling?

Speaker 28 What do you think?

Speaker 28 To kill for

Speaker 19 I think that's a Freudian slip.

Speaker 19 I think that was just a little peek at his hand. He just showed us a little peek at his hand.

Speaker 19 Come on, silly man.

Speaker 19 You want a cookie?

Speaker 21 After my mom died, I called Randolph. I said, what did you do to my mother? And he said, I didn't do anything to your mother.
Michael shot and killed your mother. And he hung up on me.

Speaker 21 Cold.

Speaker 21 Just

Speaker 21 cold.

Speaker 21 I just acted like everything was normal. That we were family still.
Tommy called the house. He left me a couple of messages.

Speaker 21 I called Leanna said to come. I am just gonna

Speaker 21 try my darkest to fuck up and get the cleaning done and try to save us some money to get this house for sale and get this on the market and get on with it. Yeah, this message.

Speaker 21 I acted like I thought he was innocent and he was the hero.

Speaker 21 I said that we were still family,

Speaker 21 that he was still grandpa to my kids.

Speaker 21 That was really hard.

Speaker 21 That was really hard.

Speaker 21 Hi, Him Paul. I'm told this just chat.
It's fine, man.

Speaker 21 It makes me feel better when I hear your voice. Love you.
See you later. Bye.

Speaker 21 And the message.

Speaker 21 And then he

Speaker 21 popped up with this will

Speaker 27 and uh

Speaker 13 I saw it.

Speaker 21 He thought with his will

Speaker 15 that

Speaker 21 he was in control of everything, that everything was his.

Speaker 21 But a couple days after

Speaker 21 my mom died, her best friend Alice gave me another will.

Speaker 22 She writes it out. I'm watching her do it.
And we go to the notary and have it notarized.

Speaker 22 And she gives it to me and she says, if anything happens to me, Alan, she says, please give this to Colleen.

Speaker 22 She had left the house to Colleen.

Speaker 21 She had to have

Speaker 21 suspected something

Speaker 21 that she would go behind his back and change everything and leave it to me.

Speaker 21 So my will was valid and his was no longer valid,

Speaker 15 which

Speaker 15 really

Speaker 21 upset him.

Speaker 21 Then I started getting really nasty phone messages.

Speaker 21 You know, it's really weird. We sit there and we talked about the house.
I can see it in your eyes. You listen lying to your teeth.
And I said,

Speaker 21 no wonder your mother didn't like you.

Speaker 21 And a message.

Speaker 21 I mean, as far as I know, he's still in Utah. He might be on his way to Vegas now.
I stopped talking to him.

Speaker 21 This is the very last message maybe two, three days ago. I was actually calling to apologize for getting so upset with you, but that's what happens when people look me in the eyes and lie to me.

Speaker 21 Now the lawyers are going to get all the money because I still get half the house because I'm married to your mama.

Speaker 21 I forgive you.

Speaker 17 I'm sorry I called you bad names.

Speaker 21 He didn't realize I had a will. Yeah, he thought he was in control and in charge of everything.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 21 he doesn't like it when a woman takes control away.

Speaker 18 We were convinced that Miller was the one who fired the shot that killed Sharon Randolph. Why did he do that?

Speaker 29 He said he had got a nine millimeter.

Speaker 16 Mike said he got that from food.

Speaker 29 He got that from the white guy.

Speaker 28 So, back to Miller.

Speaker 19 After the second interrogation, we got just a limited amount from Tom Randolph about the relationship that he had with Mike Miller.

Speaker 18 We were convinced that Miller was the one who fired the shot that killed Sharon Randolph. The question was: why did he do that?

Speaker 19 Even though Mike Miller was a victim in the fact that he was killed, he was also a suspect.

Speaker 19 We learned that his family

Speaker 19 was in North Carolina and we made arrangements to go out there and conduct interviews in person.

Speaker 26 Right now we're in Charlotte, North Carolina. We're here to talk to

Speaker 19 Rufus Miller.

Speaker 7 It's Michael Miller's brother.

Speaker 15 You have arrived.

Speaker 26 Hey, how you doing? Hi, Rufus. How you doing?

Speaker 16 I'm sorry.

Speaker 26 Dean O'Kelly, Cliff Mogg.

Speaker 13 Hi, Jean. Congratulations to you.
All right.

Speaker 30 Thank you.

Speaker 16 You can see on this bitch where my brother worked all his life.

Speaker 16 Well, we're sorry for your loss.

Speaker 26 And tell me a little bit about

Speaker 26 your conversations with

Speaker 26 Mike and what went on with him and this man.

Speaker 26 Do you know his name? The person he was hanging out with or associating with?

Speaker 16 One thing I know is it's a Thomas, a Tom. Tom?

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Okay. How do you meet Tom? Do you know?

Speaker 16 Say he was on the street corner and he pulled up to him and asked, did he want to do some work?

Speaker 26 Was he supposed to be doing like regular work for Tom?

Speaker 16 And the man.

Speaker 26 Was he getting paid then for what he was doing?

Speaker 5 He said he was getting $600 a week.

Speaker 26 Okay, for doing work

Speaker 26 around Tom's place?

Speaker 16 Yep, the RSA and jobs.

Speaker 26 Did he say how often he had contact with this man, Tom?

Speaker 16 It was all the time.

Speaker 30 Did you ever know your brother to have a gun?

Speaker 30 Nope.

Speaker 16 I don't know

Speaker 16 how y'all would feel if it was one of y'all loved ones. You know what I'm saying? My brother wouldn't kill nobody.
That's just like saying me. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 19 Rufus didn't believe his brother was capable of that.

Speaker 19 And yet we knew, based on the evidence, that he had actually killed Sharon Randolph. He shot her in the head.

Speaker 19 We were leaving the interview, and Rufus told us that Mike had another brother.

Speaker 29 You got a brother?

Speaker 13 I had another brother. Yeah, Rico Miller.
Where's Rico? He's at home.

Speaker 19 So we made arrangements to go over and talk to Rico.

Speaker 30 What is it? Rico.

Speaker 26 You were in communication with Mike between while he was out there in Vegas?

Speaker 27 Talking Mike from that Monday to that Wednesday.

Speaker 26 Before this happened?

Speaker 27 Yes, sir, because it happened at therapist.

Speaker 16 Right. What happened?

Speaker 26 Tell me about the conversations you had with him.

Speaker 27 He was saying he was doing good out there. He was working for that white guy.

Speaker 26 What did Michael tell you about him?

Speaker 27 Mike didn't say nothing bad about him.

Speaker 26 Excuse me. No, take your time.
You're fine.

Speaker 19 Rico was overcome with emotion.

Speaker 19 But he told us too, he told us something interesting at some point

Speaker 19 that Tom Randolph gave Mike Miller a 9mm. Did he given him a handgun?

Speaker 29 Well, Mike told me, he said he had got a nine millimeter. I don't know what kind of nine millimeter.

Speaker 30 Mike said he got that from who?

Speaker 29 He got that from the white guy.

Speaker 26 Why did he give it to him?

Speaker 29 I never didn't know. I don't know, sir.

Speaker 18 Approaching left turn, followed by a right turn. One of the most interesting people that we ended up talking to on the trip was Judy Archie.
Approaching destination on the right.

Speaker 18 A friend of Michael Miller, she had known him for about 15 years.

Speaker 18 Judy?

Speaker 8 Hi.

Speaker 26 This interview is being conducted at Judy Archie's residence 926 hours.

Speaker 26 Judy, you understand this interview is being recorded?

Speaker 30 Is that okay with you? Yes, sir.

Speaker 26 You were friends with Michael Miller, is that correct?

Speaker 26 About how long ago did you meet him?

Speaker 13 It was about 15, 16 years.

Speaker 26 Okay, so you're pretty good friends with him?

Speaker 26 And at some point, he moved out to Las Vegas?

Speaker 34 Yep, he said he was moving out for a better life.

Speaker 26 And what did he tell you?

Speaker 26 Did he give you a call after he got settled in? What was he talking to you about?

Speaker 34 He always talked about the man he met at the store.

Speaker 34 And I kept telling him, I said, Mike, something ain't right about that man.

Speaker 34 Again, he called.

Speaker 34 He said, he told me he wanted me to cure his wife.

Speaker 30 I said, for what?

Speaker 34 He said, I don't know. He told me he wanted me to cure his wife.

Speaker 13 He said that

Speaker 34 that's all that man was talking about.

Speaker 34 Killing his wife, killing his wife, you know.

Speaker 34 And I did not understand that. You know, and I was like, Mike, go to the police with this.

Speaker 26 Did he ever tell you anything that he was supposed to get out of that?

Speaker 30 I mean, no.

Speaker 26 What would it benefit Mike to kill this man's wife?

Speaker 34 I don't know what he was going to give Mike because he never did say.

Speaker 26 Okay, he never told you about that.

Speaker 30 Uh-uh.

Speaker 19 To go to the Carolinas and have Judy Archie tell us that there were conversations that she had with Mike about Tom Randolph wanting him to kill his wife, it was a validation for me.

Speaker 19 We had gotten the information that we wanted at that point about Mike Miller. There was more that we needed to know about Tom Randolph and his past.
It was clear it was the tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 19 We had a theory, and that's this.

Speaker 18 Thomas Randolph created and groomed a person

Speaker 18 that would be willing to kill for him.

Speaker 19 When we started looking into Tom Randolph's past, the more that we learned about him and learned about his history, the whole investigation changed. I was going to need my partner.

Speaker 18 Yeah, this is Detective Wilson from Las Vegas.

Speaker 17 I'm a trainer.

Speaker 19 I'm a two-man partner with Rob Wilson. You know, at the time this happened, we were the longest-running partnership in homicide for a long time.

Speaker 19 What could be more important than my confidence?

Speaker 18 I can't imagine.

Speaker 18 It's almost like a marriage, really.

Speaker 18 You start to think alike, you start to finish each other's sentences sometimes. It's It's really cool when you get it working right.

Speaker 19 Rob was on vacation when we caught this case.

Speaker 19 So he wasn't at the scene. He wasn't involved in the interviews.
He didn't do any of that.

Speaker 18 He called me and he said, I tell you in my heart, I know that he's guilty.

Speaker 19 I needed him up and running and up to speed in the case and he was immediately. I had a lot of confidence in Rob, you know, especially in his investigative skills.

Speaker 18 In reading your report, it's a pretty comprehensive report, but I think that

Speaker 18 we left some things hanging in the investigation. The two of us hit the ground running.

Speaker 19 It's like putting together a puzzle. We had a theory that we believe was well established by the evidence, and that's this.

Speaker 18 Thomas Randolph had intentionally married Sharon with the sole purpose of cashing in on life insurance policies when she died.

Speaker 19 We ended up ultimately finding four life insurance policies that Tom Randolph had taken out on Sheriff, totaling about $360,000.

Speaker 19 We believe that Tom Randolph met Mike Miller at a convenience store, struck up a conversation with him, and that being the manipulator that Tom Randolph is, immediately recognized that he had somebody in front of him.

Speaker 18 He created and groomed a person

Speaker 18 that would be willing to kill for him.

Speaker 18 And that's what he found in Mr. Miller.

Speaker 18 So we believe that Randolph took Sharon out to dinner for Mother's Day as part of the ruse

Speaker 18 to allow Miller to go into the house and prepare.

Speaker 18 That's one of the eerie aspects of this case.

Speaker 19 As they're walking together out of the casino holding hands, he knows within a very short period of time she'd be dead on the floor in her house.

Speaker 19 Now Mike's at the house. He's probably in the backyard.
We knew he had a key.

Speaker 18 This clock hinges down right here and apparently and from what we're told from Tom is that the gun was kept inside the clock here. So apparently Mike knew where that was.

Speaker 18 He was laying in wait in the hallway bathroom until Sharon came into the house by herself, as prearranged by Thomas Randolph.

Speaker 18 And as soon as she walked into this area here, where her head was positioned right here, right in this area, that Miller fired that shot.

Speaker 18 Michael Miller had a ski mask with him. Doubtless, now that he knows that Sharon's down, and that a friendly,

Speaker 18 his Confederate, is coming in through that door, that he takes his mask off. He relaxes.

Speaker 18 As Miller started to walk through the garage door to leave with Thomas Randolph behind him, Tom Randolph fired the first shot. They ambushed him.

Speaker 15 Boom!

Speaker 18 We found the ski mask right here on the ground, away from the body. There were no bullet holes in the ski mask.
There wasn't any blood on the ski mask.

Speaker 19 It's huge that there's no blood or bullet holes in the ski mask because Tom Randolph said he still had it on his head. How's the ski mask get where it was? With no blood, no bullet holes.

Speaker 18 We both were very confident that Thomas Randolph was guilty. But being able to prove it in a court of law is something different.

Speaker 19 There was a lot more to Thomas Randolph than we knew.

Speaker 18 I never in a thousand years thought that this would develop into what it developed into.

Speaker 18 I feel I loan you look. We went to Washington State, Indiana, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Utah.

Speaker 18 What really became important was his past history.

Speaker 18 Police arrested Thomas Randolph on charges of murder.

Speaker 35 He asked me if I would kill somebody for money if I knew I could get away with it.

Speaker 20 These women come up dead. He comes up with money.

Speaker 21 That is Tom.

Speaker 19 The most significant thing that we found out about Tom Randolph, Sharon was actually his sixth wife.

Speaker 25 He's really a six-something bitch.

Speaker 15 Trouble gonna come.

Speaker 19 Out of those six wives, four of them were dead.

Speaker 15 Put your hands on your head right now. Put your hands on your head.

Speaker 15 Stay on the ground.

Speaker 15 Not a tip of me.
