He's 20 years old and he's facing the death penalty. They were college students in a quiet town. This is suburbia. Rich kids. Then one of them, the son of a retired Secret Service agent, was shot dead. This was really an execution. It opened a window to a dark world. None of these parents, they never would have known. And a secret network unraveled. I sold drugs for five years and didn't get any kind of trouble whatsoever. Kids from the best of families, everybody had a future. They were all real, real smart. Peter Van Sant investigates dealing drugs worth millions. What's the most amount of cash you ever had? Over 100. Some for $100,000. Yeah. It makes you a movie star in a small town. Did life in the fast lane, drive Justin to murder. And that's what drives these kids. It's the money and it's the lifestyle that comes along with it. I can't even believe what's happened to me. A special 48 Hours mystery. Isn't it time you confess to this crime? The Millionaire Boys. Leslie. I'm Leslie Stahl. Tonight we bring you a morality tale about the appearance of good and the reality of evil. We take you to a place where young people grow up with the best of everything. And parents believe they can trust their children. Imagine their shock finding out that their kids in college were selling millions of dollars in drugs right under their noses. As Peter Van Sant reports, these kids had everyone fooled until one of them ended up dead. It was a really nice neighborhood. Quiet. Everybody knows everybody. Just a nice neighborhood. Growing up in the suburbs around Manassas, Virginia, all of these kids come from good homes, good families, life. They live in huge houses, parents have nice cars, great jobs. Was easy. And all the kids here have money. And in these quiet, affluent communities, street crimes seemed a world away. I mean, nothing like this ever happened before. Until late one night in the spring of 2001 when 21 year old Danny Petroli, the son of a retired Secret Service agent, was brutally gunned down. This was really an execution. It was a bloody scene. It was a gruesome scene. The scene stunned even veteran prosecutors. Paul Ebert. I mean, that gun was fired time and time again into that young man's body and Rick Conway. This is a semi automatic pistol. The bullet only comes out when you squeeze the trigger. Danny was shot nine times as he sat in his car just outside his townhouse. You didn't hear about shootings and people get shot in our neighborhoods. Justin Wolf was 19 at the time. A college student like Danny. He's a good guy. Everybody liked Danny. I don't think he had any enemies. I didn't know anybody didn't like him. I was shocked. It was sad. I couldn't believe it. Jennifer Pascarello. This is where Regina lived and Regina Zuner. Everyone's lives have changed so dramatically. Both went to high school with Justin and to middle school with Danny. Danny was an extraordinary person. He was a magnet. People were drawn to him. Within days of Danny's shooting, police traced the murder weapon to a suspect. We were pretty sure that we had our man with Owen Barber. Owen Barber, a 21 year old who, like Danny, grew up in a comfortable neighborhood near Manassas. It's sad because I can picture, like, everything the way it used to be. Jennifer Pascarello was Owen's girlfriend. This is the very first day we met. They'd been dating since Jennifer was 14. He came to pick me up. I'd never even been on a date before, so he was my first ever. Tell me about the home that Owen grew up in. His parents were real close. They were like a normal family, I guess. Mom and the dad. He's the only child, and he did the chores around the house for them whenever and came home for dinner every night. That's Owen's house right there. I felt sorry for the kid. Justin became friends with Owen in high school. Owen didn't do anything because most of us, a lot of us played basketball, stuff like that. But he was just, I don't know, he just was one of those guys that hung around, I guess. He doesn't look like a person who could be a killer in any of these pictures. Mm. Mm. I never, ever, ever in my wildest dreams would've imagined that he was capable of something like this. But nearly a year after Danny's murder, Owen Barber is in court to confess. He pulled the trigger. What did you do then? I jumped out, went around the front of my car, and as I went towards his car, he reached across and then I shot him through the passenger window. You see any sign of life after you shot him? No. You can't listen to Owen Barber talk about committing this murder without just being overwhelmed by his callousness. But the defendant on trial isn't Owen Barber, would you identify him for the record? He's right there. It's Justin Wolfe and Owen is here to testify against his former friend. It was like, we gotta shoot him. Owen Barber would never have killed Danny Petroli unless Justin Wolf wanted him to. Prosecutors set out to prove that Justin Wolfe is a killer. Justin Wolf hired Owen Barber to murder Danny Petroli, who deserves the death penalty. I think Wolf is so much more dangerous than Barber. Barber was no more than a tool. Crazy. I don't know, it's crazy. Did you hire Owen Barber to kill Danny Petroli? No, I did not. I've never hurt anybody a day in my life. I feel like a little kid in there. He's frightened. He's scared. He's 20 years old and he's facing the death penalty. Justin's mother, Terri Steinberg, insists her son is incapable of any violence. Justin did not do anything to hurt Danny Petroli and I will go to my grave with that. This was a horrific crime, a heinous crime. It was cruel, it was evil, but that was what Owen did. That's not what Justin did. It was Christmas Eve for Danny Petroli's parents. Danny was the fun, joy person in our life. He always was funny, he was always laughing. The trial is a reminder of their loss. There wasn't a conversation that didn't end with, you know, love you, dad. Love you too, buddy. Danny's father worked on the presidential detail of the Secret Service. Do you look at the Petroles in court? Sometimes. Is there anything you'd want to say to them? I didn't have anything to do with their son's death. He was my friend. They weren't friends per se. They met with the sole purpose of dealing drugs. Each bag is approximately a pound. Sergeant Greg Pass started work on the Petroleum case the morning after Danny's murder. Inside Danny's garage she found 47 pounds of high grade marijuana. And it wasn't long before police discovered Justin was one of Danny's customers. That Danny Petroli and Justin Wolf were drug dealers. Unfortunately, Justin decided he wanted to get greedy and end up having Danny killed. I made some mistakes with the drugs, you know that involvement in the drugs, but not the murderer they say I am. But the investigation that brought Justin to trial, this was a case that involved more than just one drug dealer killing another. Uncovered a secret life of drugs, sexual and greed. And that's what drives these kids. It's the money that even the most sheltered teenagers fell victim to. You got to get at the root of every problem. The root of the problem was the drugs with all of. That's his letter for football. This was his security thing from the time he was a baby. And this was what he wore with his tux. According to his mother Terri Steinberg, he's a good loving brother and a good loving son. 20 year old Justin Wolf grew up a typical suburban teenager in Northern Virginia. He was your all American kid. Very good basketball player, very good football player. He was always making friends. Everybody loved him. When I was in high school I knew more than half the school. And Justin claims for many high school students here smoking marijuana was no big deal. It's not viewed as the other drugs are. It's like drugs and marijuana. How old were you when you smoked your first joint? Eighth grade. The first time I ever smoked marijuana I was 15. Both Regina Zuner, I was at Regina's and Jennifer Pascarello smoking weed. A lot of people make friends in high school that way. Became friends with Justin in high school, want to be like everybody else or haven't done it and want to try it. You know, get sucked in. Peer pressure. From your smartest jock to everyday average student. Everyone smoked but they weren't smoking the kind of pot their parents generation did. There's two different types of marijuana. You have low grade and high grade. Chronic's high grade marijuana, they were smoking chronic. Well you can see you have a lot of buds. There's not too many stems. Schwag marijuana, there's a lot of stems and seeds. Sergeant Greg Pass worked in narcotics. Schwag is low grade marijuana. That's pretty much what everybody's used to seeing on the streets. But the marijuana of choice for many kids today is chronic. Chronic tastes better. You get higher, you're just mellow, relaxed. It has a higher THC content. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana, so it's more potent. The problem is it's going to cost them a lot more for it. Chronic costs up to four, five times more than shway. It runs $350 an ounce. That's normally how it's sold on the street. But for the teenagers here that was basically all anybody was getting. Cost was never a problem. And this is suburbia, it's rich kids. And for Justin you start off kind of supporting your habit. The high street value was a reason the to start dealing chronic. So you smoke for free and then you're like I can make money doing this. If you're selling it by the pound, then you're looking at anywhere between $3,300 the lowest you can get it up to $5,000. How old were you when you first dealt it, when you first sold marijuana? My ninth grade. He started out selling a few ounces of schwag. But by graduation, the more money you make, the more you can get. Justin was dealing multiple pounds of chronic. That was kind of like a work thing, like a business thing for me. A business that boomed when he met 21 year old Danny Pitroli. Danny controlled all the chronic coming in the area and Justin became one of his distributors. Tell me about the money you made selling drugs. I don't know. Made a lot of money. Only 19 and a part time college student. Justin made up to $15,000 a month selling the chronic. Danny supplied him. Makes you a superstar. It makes you, makes you a movie star in a small town. 28 year old Jason Coleman hung out with Justin for years and managed this bar where all of Justin's friends party. You're nobody and then in the blink of an eye you can have whatever you want. And that's what drives these kids. It's the money and it's the lifestyle that comes along with. Was a never ending party. Everybody wanted to be Justin's friend because he had everything. He always knew what was going on. All the girls liked him. All the girls. There's lots of women around. We always had girls around this. Yeah. Part of the lifestyle. Yes. One of the benefits. Yes, definitely one of the benefits. The benefits of having lots of cash. I blew money basically. I'd run through money like there's nothing. How much money would be dropped on a typical weekend? Couple thousand dollars. Couple thousand dollars. Yeah. We partied lavishly. Only the best vodka. Only the best anything that champagne bottles of Moet and Cristal and just the most expensive everything. The bartenders know you guys everywhere and did they know you were underage? Yes. If you have money, you can do whatever you want to. You gotta get at the root of every problem. The root of the problem was the drugs. With all of us, as much as I tried, I didn't, I didn't know that he was doing that. Terry, a nurse, raised Justin as a single mother and I feel somewhat responsible for not having caught onto that. As his mom, she really didn't see like all the partying and all the money he was spending. What was the most amount of cash you ever had? I don't know. Over 100 some over $100,000? Yeah. Where did you put it? Not in my room. I wouldn't keep anything in my room. I checked his room on a regular basis. I would go through his things, I would smell his clothes, but there was never any drugs. I suspected my mother would look through there, but I mean, I had spots. He was too careful to let her find out. None of these parents, they never would have imagined, they never would have known. And neither would police. I sell drugs for five years and didn't get any kind of trouble whatsoever until Danny Petroli was murdered. We had to figure out who. Who was Danny Petroli? And the investigation that followed. We were definitely taken back by him. Uncovered a drug ring worth millions and millions of dollars. Amazing. An enterprise created and controlled by. It goes down the line pretty far.

It was a lot of fun. Justin, he'll go out of his way to help someone that he barely knows. Everybody had a future. They were all real, real smart. We were not the typical drug dealers. We were selling weed between friends. You know, no one here in Manassas, Virginia ever expected that. Dealing pot. It was definitely harmless, I thought would end in murder. And then I shot him through the passenger window. Until Danny Pitcioli was gunned down in the spring of 2001, on the day Danny Pitroli was murdered, Justin Wolf had set up a drug deal with Danny Petroli. And now Justin Wolfe is on trial for capital murder. I sold marijuana, which was wrong, but I had nothing to do with this murder. Key to the prosecution's case against Justin is his one time friend, Owen Barber. He asked me if I wanted to get his chronic, man. Get the chronic, man. Yeah. He's like, we gotta shoot him. Owen claims Justin hired him to kill Danny. Did the defendant tell you why he wanted you to shoot him? So he wouldn't have to pay that money back. A drug debt that prosecutors Paul Ebert and Rick Conway argue gave Justin motive. He just did not like to pay his debts. He liked to have money coming in, not going out. Justin owed Danny almost $70,000 for the high grade marijuana called chronic that Danny was supplying him. This is all the high grade marijuana that was found the morning after he was killed. Sergeant Greg Pass led the drug investigation after Danny's shooting. These people aren't killing you because you're selling dope. They're killing you because you have something they want, and that's money. Investigators discovered that Danny, the son of a retired Secret Service agent, had at 21, become the head of one of the largest known drug rings in Northern Virginia. We're able to pin him down to about four and a half million dollars worth of drugs that he had sold. In what period of time in the last couple years. At the time of his death, where did the drugs come from? Seattle, maybe. What's that? Seattle. Paul Gunning was Danny's roommate at the time of the murder. He introduced Danny to a chronic supplier in Seattle, Washington nearly two years ago. And how much did he purchase on that occasion? £100. £100? Yes, sir. And what was the price for that? Like 360,000. Would it be fair to say that once a month he paid $360,000? Yes, sir. $360,000 worth of chronic that Danny distributed each month to the dealers on this list. This is an O sheet. O O W E, as in I owe you money. This is Danny's O sheet. What, if anything, on the O sheet was significant in relation to this case? The initial is jw. Okay, and how did you connect that suspect, Justin Wolf? Justin was one of Danny's customers. At a minimum, Justin Wolfe owed him $66,325. That O sheet was the most important piece of evidence to actually connect Justin Wolf to Danny Petroli. It was Justin Wolfe who owed that money, not Owen Barber. But Owen had a drug debt of his own. $3,000 to Justin. Your final understanding between the two of you before you killed Danny Petroleum, again with what? A $3,000 old debt? I didn't have to pay for half pound of chronic, the four pounds of regular swag, and then 10,000 more. So for a total of about $20,000. The deal was struck. Owens says to kill Danny Petroli on March 15, 2001, after a Danny to Justin drug buying. I followed him out of the neighborhood. Owen began tailing Daniel, followed him on to 66, and he eventually got off and then down 54 second, the Fairfax exit. I followed him on 66 northwest, and then he got off at the Gainesville exit. At trial, prosecutors introduced these cell phone records from the night of the murder. And you made a phone call at that area? Yeah. Owen Barber testifies that he followed Danny for more than an hour. I called Justin and said that he went into some house in Fairfax City, calling Justin to give him updates throughout the pursuit. 10:23. I thought I lost him, but the next one was that I found him. The last call that you made to Justin Wolfe highlight the time of that, sir? 11:12. Just minutes after Owen had shot Danny nine times. You've got just a flurry of telephone activity between the two of them, and particularly at the crucial moments immediately before and after the murder. Justin was the last person Owen called before he killed Danny, and the first after the shooting. And then you do not see any more phone calls from Justin Wolf's phone to Owen Barber's phone within days of the murder. So I was like, all right, you know, I was like, I'm getting out of here. Owen left town, ending up in San Diego. He never called me back. And he didn't keep a pissful under the bar. Justin, he says, never paid him for shooting Dennis. I love him. I love him, and I'm sad for him. Jennifer Pascarello Owens girlfriend drove to San Diego to be with him. And I was just at a little hotel on the beach, and my money was going lower and lower. I only had $700 left because he didn't have any money. Jennifer wrote a desperate letter to a friend of Justin's. Is this the beginning of the actual letter? Yeah. PSS JW knows how important this money is. He'll know. I promise. Justin knows that Owen wants his money, basically, or else we aren't gonna make it. We aren't gonna survive. You wanted the $10,000 that had been promised for the murder. Yeah. But before Jennifer could mail that letter, authorities traced the murder weapon to Owen and tracked him down in San Diego. After his arrest, Owen confessed and implicated Justin. That's what you told the whole truth is nothing but the truth? Yes, sir. I don't see how they can believe Owen Barber. Why would Owen Barber be lying about you? Save his own life? Pointing fingers at me gets him off the death penalty. But if convicted, Justin faces the death penalty. I'd like to call Justin Wolf. And Justin's life, yes, I do, may now be in his own hands. I mean, I might have to do some time on this drugs, but I had nothing to do with this murder. Justin's story next, college kids making millions selling pot. Keep in mind that we're talking about a marijuana known as chronic. It's many times more powerful than the drug smoked in the 60s and many times more expensive. Authorities say all that money led to greed and betrayal and eventually to murder. With one young drug lord ordering a hit on another. Here again is Peter Van Santa. I've never hurt anybody in my life. Not one fight, not one altercation. I was not a violent man. For the last nine months, I can't even believe what's happened to me. I don't know that Justin Wolfe has been locked up in this Manassas, Virginia jail. I was not a saint, but I was not evil at all. Waiting to prove that he's not an evil killer. What are you? Normal 20 year old Justin Wolf is more a punk in godfather's clothing. Where do you know those people from? But prosecutors Rick Conway and Paul Ebert are convinced Justin hired 21 year old Owen Barber to murder Danny Petroli. You know, I told him, you know, that I did it. And it was done to avoid paying a drug debt to Danny of almost $70,000. That's not what happened. You didn't send Owen Barber over there to kill him? No. Why should I? I don't know why the man killed him. Thank you, you, Honor. I'd like to call Justin Wolf. Despite the risks of going up against tough prosecutors, Justin insists on taking the stand. Yes, I do. To tell his side of the story. I didn't do this. I mean, I might have to do some time on this drugs, but I had nothing to do with this murder. I made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I ain't never hurt nobody in my life. Never. Why should this jury believe you? As opposed to Owen Barber? I'm the only one that told the truth up there. He asked me if I wanted to get his chronic. Man, Owen's got a reason. Owen's got a bigger reason why he's like, we gotta shoot him. Pointing fingers at me gets him off the death pedal. And in fact, Barbara was sentenced to 38 years. Anybody that could privy to the conversation that you're aware of? No. Basically my word versus his. Who do they believe? You can come closer if you need to when confronted by the prosecution, didn't he say, hey, I'm behind him again, I'm not him. I'm right behind him. Justin has a hard time explaining the numerous cell phone calls he exchanged with Owen Barber on the night Danny was murdered. In fact, who is the last person he calls before he kills Danny Petrovi? And who is the first person he calls after he kills Danny Petroli? Me. I imagine Owen sat about right here, or here, and waited for Danny. Justin's friend, 28 year old Jason Coleman, lived with Owen Barber. There was a lot of. A lot of drug deals that went on back here. And he sold Owen the gun used to shoot Danny Petroli. Where'd you get the gun, sir? Jason Coleman. A lot of people think Justin's guilty. A lot of people think he's innocent. But I just know that it was tragic. It wouldn't make sense for Justin to have wanted Danny dead. Regina Zuner is one of Justin's strongest defenders. He owed Danny $66,000. He makes more than that off of Danny. If Danny's gone, there's no more chronic in the area. I have no means of making money. Owing all of that money to Danny Petroli, doesn't that provide a motive for murder? I mean, it sounds bad, but the thing is, that's what it always was. As you see from the O sheets, everybody owed something like that. The O sheet that investigators found in Danny's wallet, if you look at that owe sheet, there are people that owe more than that to Danny. Like they all owed each other money. You always just make payments, get something else, make payments, get something else. It would never be. Very rarely would you have it, that is zero. It's the way it worked. And it gets paid back gradually. As for that letter written by Owen Barber's former girlfriend, Jennifer Pascarello, JW knows how important this money is. He'll know, I promise. Justin insists it wasn't a threat, but simply a plea for money. If they say they were so mad about this money I allegedly owed the man, why does the letter say we need money? Why doesn't it say I want my money? He was constantly giving people money. Anybody wanted anything, they went to Justin. Justin's mother now believes that's why Jen and Ellen went to Justin. Owen Barber turned on her son because the bank of Justin shut down on Owen when he needed it the most. Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard all the evidence. After three weeks, Justin's trial is about to end. He's been accused for a long time of murder I know he's not capable of that. And in a surprising move during closing arguments, the defense tries to point the finger of guilt at Justin's friend, Jason Coleman. It was Jason Coleman's. And what Jason do to it? He gave it to Owen Barber. He sold it to him. It seems a desperate move. There's no evidence that he was actually directly involved in any way with that murder. But would the jury buy it? Sure. What's that? Verdict. Verdict. They have a verdict. We have a verdict. After little more than one hour. Paul, what does this tell you when a jury comes back this quickly? Really not that good. The jury is ready with a verdict. Your stomach's in a knot until you hear the words. That's next. This episode is brought to you by Greenlight. Get this.

Justin Wolfe is bracing himself for a verdict. Honestly, you a little scared right now? A little. I guess. A verdict which could mean life or death. I'm trying to be hopeful. I'm trying to think positively. But for Justin's mother, Teri Steinberg, it's not Easy. Members of the jury, have you reached verdicts in the case set before you? Yes, we have. After three long weeks of testimony. I can't tell. I couldn't read the jury. The jury deliberates for only one hour. We, the jury, find the defendant, Justin Michael Wolfe, guilty of capital murder as charged in the indictment. Guilty as charged. I didn't think I heard it right. I still think I need to wake up and go back and do it again. I just. It's not. It's not real. Shocking. It's not real. It floored me. They took one hour, that's all they gave, to decide Justin's life, Justin's fate. I wanted to see some ray of hope for this kid, but there wasn't any. Jurors Miles Ganley, Patricia Grisham and Tim Lukarinen, Murder one, say they believed triggerman Owen Barber's testimony over Justin's. I mean, if it was just Justin against Owen, who could you believe? They're both thugs, they're both liars involved with drugs, tied up in greed. But it was the other circumstantial evidence that just made his story fit. Evidence that included all those cell phone calls between Justin and Owen Barber on the night of Danny Petroli's murder. Who is the last person he calls before he kills Danny Petroli? And who is the first person he calls after he kills Danny Petroli? Me. Then there was the letter written by Jennifer Pascarello, Owen Barber's former girlfriend. It was another attempt of them trying to collect the money he was supposed to have been paid to kill Danny. For the jurors, the evidence led to one obvious conclusion. Guilty of sin, you, Honor. Isn't it time you confess to this crime? I did not. I didn't do this. You sent Owen Barber over there to kill him, didn't you? No, I did not. I did not tell that man to kill any human being. You sent him over there then to rob him. No. And it went wrong. Terribly wrong. No, I did not. Are you lying to me? No, sir. Hang in there. Justin still insists he's innocent, but it wasn't enough. We were looking for reasonable doubt to convince the jury that key witness that was going to turn the tide, but he never showed up. One witness Justin believes may have helped prove his innocence. I think his testimony would help me is friend, Jason Coleman. Where'd you get the gun, sir? Jason Coleman, a man often mentioned in court. Did you ever get cocaine from Jason? Sometimes, but never seen. We were all dying to hear from this guy. Justin contends Jason Coleman told him the truth. He said he approached Owen and he said, look, I had nothing to do with this. And Owen said, I know I did this on my own. He told Jason Coleman that he had done this on his own? Yes, that's what he told him. But prosecutors say they heard a very different story from Jason. He was one of the first ones that indicated that Barbara would never have done anything like this if it weren't the wishes of Justin Wolfe. What he has to say I think may depend on who's asking and when you ask. Which is why no one called Jason to the stand. He's definitely mystery man. Justin's friend, Regina Zuner. Where is Jason Coleman? I don't know. And he's disappeared. After allowing 48 hours to follow him with a home video camera for a day, Jason Coleman also disappeared on us. Was he gonna help the prosecution, hurt the defense? I guess we'll never know. He's the mystery man. And now the jury that convicted Justin Wolf of murder, guilty of capital murder, must decide his punishment. Looks like I'm pleading for my life here. Coming up. It's horrible. I know what they're gonna do. I don't even know why we're bothering. The jury has Justin's life in its hands. What do you think they're going to do? I think they're going to give him ultimate.
