When a Wild West reenactor is found murdered in his private Arizona ranch, police race to find the killer of the beloved showman. As investigators connect the dots, they realize the cold-blooded…
But at 10:30 PM on October 20th, 1992, a resident in an upscale neighborhood comes home to violence.
911, what is your emergency? Hi.
Yeah, my name is, um, is Carol Gold.
I need a, an ambulance real fast.
My husband's on the kitchen floor.
There's blood all over.
I think he's dead.
Officers get to the scene, and the woman who called, Carol Gold, she leads them inside the house and they find her husband on the ground.
He was dressed as a cowboy, all in black from his boots to his hat.
It kinda jumped out at you.
And he had a western style belt with a, with a big buckle on it that said Black Bart on it.
The victim was identified by his wife, Carol.
After securing the crime scene, Phoenix police officers notify the homicide division.
The first detective on the scene is Joseph Petrosino.
When I got there, there really wasn't a lot of blood.
There were eight entrance wounds: four in the head, three in the upper chest, and one which was through the wrist.
One of the wounds is behind the ear.
I suspect that that would've been one where he was down on the floor, and it's just a, "We're just gonna make sure that he doesn't get up off the floor," execution style.
As Detective Petrosino moves into the living room, he notices a strange detail.
I had a chair in the living room and I can see that the chair has been moved and I can see that something had been behind the chair, which appeared to be shoe prints.
And it's right close to the entrance to the kitchen, so that when if you came around that corner, you would've immediately been able to see who's in the kitchen.
I suspect that once he went into the room, uh, he was confronted almost immediately, and the shooting began.
It seemed it could've been a robbery gone wrong.
