I became more ingrained me as a year's went on, but detective Kevin bout who attended the same high school is mandy, had never given up by two thousand and nine. He was the lead in instigator on this unsolved case. some answers. We need to get to the bottom of it. He began scouring the case, smile poring, over old, leads and old sauce I started going through, Ben interviewed who's been talk to. Now we notice that a local drug dealer named John was newski had been questioned because he told people he might know who murdered.

Yes, as it turns out women had experienced creepy run in with him and began exchange. stories? I'm probably fifteen he was in his twenties.

Where did tim bachelor? You were right in this house right here at home, less than two miles from mandates house right along running right. Back in nineteen. Eighty nine. Ninety. Ninety. Did they go to the bass household in question people there but then like? No, it would be this family because there were like humanity and so

I think it was just overlooked. Tim bass, along with his brother and father, had never been asked to give a dna sample and for the past twenty five years time had been living a quiet life in a near by community married with three children and Having a delivery truck for a bakery criminal record, anything that would have call attention, tim bass now, kept himself and for the most part, worked and came home. But now police decided to pay tim a visit. At home very non threatening. Then your approach correct when asked about Mandy bass pretended he didn't even remember her, at least not at first so he just looked up and was like Mandy Mandy mandate. Yeah. She was a girl that they found on the river was colleague, ok being played here. He who could who could forget

an aesthetic police asked bass for saliva sample to get his dna and at that point, as well I want to give my dna. I watch those crimes shows. I see how many people go to prison because I've given dna, so they tried a new plan At this point, we decided we need to get a surveillance team on him and follow him on his route. They followed tin. ass, all night long on his bakery delivery. Rout police were hoping bass would throw away and ate it, with dna on it. But no luck. Investigation stalled yet again until least received an unexpected helping hand I wasn't really going to take no for an answer. I'm going to find something, I'm going to get you something, the the

We had a funding together playing different sports tim had always been a loner, but as a teenager he began to review.

deeper issues, social interactions never really been natural to him. remembers. A harrowing night after a high school girl friend had broken up with tim he was on the phone with her in his bedroom and He apparently had a pistol with them. Some point said kill myself. He actually ended up firing, the gun ten had fire into the air from that night on thomson, people close to TIM noticed ancient him just the disgust, the disrespect towards women robin? Did you ever see this area? Robin is Tom. wife. I think that he really thinks women are inferior to him. Tim got married young at twenty two, just six weeks after mandates.

He married another mount baker graduate genome alone, She says it was hardly a fairy tale romance I married him basically to get away from home. Gino says throughout their nearly thirty. Your marriage ten was a controlling and emotionally abusive husband, I felt like his servant. Girl get me a drink. Go get make me food I personally witnessed him tell gina to shut up. You know eight million times it didn't feel like a marriage, I felt like I went into prison actually, but Gina stuck with TIM and had three dron with him. Why did you stay with him? Scared then I did leave. Actually I got a restraining order and left for two months. At that point I had started divorce proceedings.

He was called woman, woman and m which, whatever as tim chatting with investigators, she realized they were looking at the mandy static murder and figured out what they were really after Kim said. Well, you! One dna, don't you and I said yes and he says I can get it for you. At this point thinking, I'm working with somebody. The potentially did this demanding and I gotta know she captain I on TIM day after day, watching if he discarded anything that might have his saliva on it. you'd empty the garbage so empty yeah in case he dropped a cup or a bottle

yeah, a cup yeah. It took three long months and then finally, she saw him, throw away a plastic cup and later coke can and I just stood there and went its game time. Unlike those jack but and so this time my heart was like I was and because there's a lot of people around, so I grabbed it. I wasn't, I threw it on my desk shore and then she gave it to police. My gut said it was him. My heart said it wasn't, because I just didn't really want to think that we were trade I saw about three months later we got the results from the state crime lab and katy from the crime lab says kevin. We ve got a mad you hear those words, what was that moment like You hear him, but you're, not sure you're. Here it's almost like a dream mean I'm gonna, wake up at any moment. Time like this,

the biggest thing that ever happened to me a lot of tears after the dna match. They paid another visit to TIM as he was, leaving work. Question the I like, did you have any relationship, whether that? No so you didn't even kiss her anything, no, never them. Why would your dna be inside her you went from donata. Well, how did you get my dna? What are you talking about right after that conversation on descent, twelve, twenty seventeen twenty eight years after mandy had been found dead, police arrested, fifty euro. TIM bass, bakery parking lot, they charged him with kidnapping, rape and murder. As my partners covering a month, I say, you're under arrest for the murder of mandy static. Later that the sheriff came, knocking on marries door. It also happen to be her birthday. He says we

got it always is we ve got a nice who, I really? I really never dreamed? I really never dreamed of mandate Mr Molly was overwhelmed to fight with the present. When a birthday present detective boeing called Kim wagner with the news. Her first thought was about men, and I asked the firm family in what you say that the sum that twice I just never forgot about anti, but it's a big leap between thinking. You have your man and convicting him. Court of law. Are you trying to get me to admit to something? I didn't do that when you're trying to do right now, TIM says he's innocent and He had a secret. That explains everything.

He said I just wondered what a nice up with manny. I was like why too, what legs would you go to get someone's dna hear more from came wagner on facebook Forty eight hours The prosecutor dave but Catherine then, a long road to justice such a good kid it shouldn't happened to shouldn't happened at all mackerel. was forty four, when Mandy static was murdered and now at seven

three ladys and gentlemen of the jury. He's come out of retirement and insisted he not be paid as he leads the prosecution team in this deeply personal. in your heart, as well as in your head. You wanted to finished, you bet after thirty years of heartache, fear and frustration. The trial of men, accused killer finally begin. This states case is simple: defenders. Dna was inside her that we know that she was kidnapped. She was raped and then she was killed case club. posed. No timbers is not yield, says defence attorney stephen Jackson, I didn't kidnap. Anyone anyone who certainly didn't kill any jackson float theory to jurors that, if true, would be shocking, the suggestion that Bass and Mandy static had cancer

actual sex. hours before her murder? There were no signs of struggle. The sexual contact is not evidence of rain from everything. This interrogation, after his arrest bass, claimed he had been having a secretive, fair with mandate. More of a friendship to say we just talked and and ah then it just kinda grew into a we didn't really do that much more pleasant, stuff dna. I tell you that there was contact start follows: is one of basses defence attorneys Mandy had come home for thanks having break. Are you saying that when she came home they met somewhere and had intimacy That's exactly what I'm saying and what do you say to those who say prove it

No one saw the two of them together. There are no telephone calls made between the two of them. First of all, I don't have to prove the burden of proof. On the state of washington, not on the defence. Remember when TIM bass was first questioned in two thousand and thirteen, he said he early remembered who mandy was now? They were lovers, I would. His story evolve like that in europe, because he's making it up he's trying to cover himself in this way the months that right up here, if you would testifying for the Situation is the woman who helped retrieve the dna evidence that linked bass to the crime scene tariff. Kim wagner knew she had one more jobs to. and was potentially involved and that crime I wanted to do the right thing from any, but the defence

his hoping science can support. Basses account. They call doktor Elizabeth Johnson, a forensic experts to the stand, She says the seamen could have been deposited up to two days before. mandates death. I would say most consistent is ours. Two days and probably within up to forty eight hours, the prosecution experts, the original medical examiner. From thirty years ago, doktor Gary gold Fogel disagrees. He says various indicators say it was much sooner she was raped and then was shield and deposited in the river and drowned in the river. Would you finally to be consistent and all regard without hypothetical? Yes,

Now it was time for a woman to testify the right who bass knew very well. Please have a seat. You ve been sworn his now ex wife gina. She divorced him after his arrest and his claims about. a fair with Mandy. I was so nervous and I was shaking I don't even want to see his face. Gina testifies that shit next him ask his mother to live for him to point the finger at his own. Dad he's asked her, can we say that did it passes? Father had died more than a decade. Here. She put her hands over her face and, like this, pause for a minute and then said no tim

ass. His trial was turning into a family reunion from Hell. His brother Tom took the stand as you're about go. Take the stand. What's what's going through your mind, did you sleep the night before very little? it was agonizing is hard as it was. I knew I had to do it like to direct your attention to february twenty four, two thousand and fifteen tom recounted that wind him was under investigation. He told Tom he had slept with Mandy decades ago, and then asked tom to tell police. He and also slept with her. I guessed to make it look like sheep got around. That would be my only That's probably way said that then he asked me again. you said you believe me right. I don't know what to say.

And Tom describes another damning incident after TIM. arrested. He said that The cops are lying everyone's out to get em. You said I need a strong alibi or I'm going to prison. He said Maybe you can say that we are christmas shopping tom, do it you can, despite that testament? defensive. Attorney shown a page has an explanation for his behaviour even people when their under that great weight of suspicion can do things that can be internal as well, only a guilty person would do this. the nine day trial wraps up both sides make their final appeal to the jury is easy, to make the assumption that this pretty young woman would never have anything to do with mister bells. MR bass,

the ladys just because somebody haven't seen them together doesn't mean that they haven't been together at some point. This is an investigation, based on a faulty assumption that this is true assault It may well not have been a sexual assault. This was not a situation where there was consensual sex. There was no contact between these, be she was abducted, she was raped and she was killed. Hold him a comfortable. The dna was at the heart of TIM basses. Try. It would now be it the heart. of the jury's deliberation. One of them said teenage girls can sneak out at night. Maybe there was a secret relationship. Clerk verdicts What do you think of tim, basses defence check now

The forty eight hours team on facebook and twitter. Thirty years of wandering two weeks of trial five hours of deliberations, I was terrified as the jury in the stabbing case deliberated the hours felt like any. Kennedy. I was her richer. Please do the right thing to write. Do the right thing: they have to have a hundred percent agreement. If one person doesn't agree about a hungarian are all over again, and I was praying that that would not happen. although no one testified to ever seen tomb and Mandy together jure, demons says they had alarmist When we go in liberate. We had to turn out to be investigators and attorneys too, and we went through everything. We had there's, a new law on maps, and we went through everything just like the attorneys did drew J, then most bergen,

be a quarter of the people tied up on there are not, there might be reasonable doubt operations lasted a little over a day, clerk verdicts, twenty nine years and six months to the day had passed since monday. Static was killed with her Family and friends. Finally get justice. We, the jury, find the defendant Timothy forest fast. Guilty guilty of murder, rape and kidnapping, with such a relief such early free That moment, when you see the family embrace and the tears tat. You think this is what justice looks. Like I point out that this is why we do what we do the harm at this.

ass is incalculable. He has finally receive justice and to me I can't be enough time. You should never get out six weeks later, it was time for sentencing my family never be healed, never be normal Marion Molly were to emotional to speak so lonely. Husband? Might Brighton spoke for them to me? Forest bass must never be allowed to walk the earth as a free person. Never the defendants mother would like to address a court Then it was the best families turn to speak teams. sandra bass. Insisted that her son never tried to blame his father for mandy step that is they falls. I do know. My son is not guilty of this crime. Then, if you would like the Kennedy now is the time I was convicted. Murderers

tim bass, whose dna had sealed his fate spoken court. For the first time would first like to say that I am one hundred percent innocent of this crime. For them. I dont believe I received a fair trial in saying that, though, better man in me says I should say very little today, this day to stand firm on swayed the jew, sentence fascinating to the maximum sentence. Nearly twenty seven years. He couldn't get life because prosecutors did not charge him with premeditated murder. They were not sure they could convicted. Of that charge. For thirty years, you have lived free from the responsibility for your acts, that life has been a law and, tragically it is caught your family, your mother, your brother, your ex wife, and your children in its web

he says, he's an innocent man. What do you say guilty? As hell? I lived in prison for twenty eight years with him, and now it's his turn for mary, who once thought she'd, never Justice masses sentence gave her some salts. the closure, I feel. After all, they got the guy that he'll spend enough years in jail. Sofie ever does get out. His life will be practically over Bass now wonders if his brother considered other killings, possibly even heather or merrily. I think potentially more could have been his next victims sometimes, we're lucky to be alive. heather and merrily are proud of their roles in putting tin bass away in the

and three women's word experiences are what took him down, and I love that Kim Wagner part of that trio of women. credit mandates, hometown acme, really took a village took a whole community. The sheriff's office never gave up by mandate. We got the right guy, I'm sorry, I guess the committee could feel safe and behold again and and hoped at that point.
