| 0:00.0 | Some of the last names of individuals have been edited out of this episode in order to |
| 0:04.8 | protect the privacy of those who are presumed innocent without proof of guilt. |
| 0:09.7 | You're not. |
| 0:27.3 | At the time of Jim Melgar's murder, there was a man named John who was living in one of the |
| 0:31.3 | Melgar's rental homes. Official records show that John had a live-in girlfriend named Claudia. |
| 0:37.5 | Without revealing my sources, I can confirm that Claudia, a young Hispanic female, |
| 0:42.8 | is connected to the Gonzalez-Lendonio family, the Vargas-Lendonio family, the Bernal family, |
| 0:49.2 | and more, all of the related families and last week's organized criminals episode. |
| 1:00.5 | So this is where we're at in the investigative process so far. We've reconstructed and profiled |
| 1:05.6 | the crime scene, identified cases in the area with similar M.O.s. Research those cases to establish |

| 1:37.2 | female staring at her from the bathroom as she was being tied up in her closet. |
| 1:43.6 | From there, we looked a little closer and discovered that Cindy-Ed comes from a family of |
| 1:47.3 | organized criminals, known primarily for strong armed robberies, with deadly weapons. |
| 1:55.5 | The next step was to figure out if there's any link between Cindy-Ed and her family and the |
| 1:59.5 | Melgars, and now we know that there is, through Claudia. |
| 2:19.0 | Texas Ranger James Holland is a legendary interrogator. They call him the serial killer whisperer. |
| 2:24.4 | You can't hide those indications, and that's why yesterday I knew that you did it. |
