Key Discussion Points & Insights

Setting the Scene: The Murder of Daniel Callaway

• Neighborhood Background: The area, five miles north of downtown Portland, was known for crime but was transitioning as young professionals like Daniel and his partner Johnny moved in ([03:55]).
• Discovery: On Nov. 16, 2007, Johnny Schultz comes home to find Daniel face-down and shot multiple times, the scene showing both violence and an odd attempt at cleanup ([05:27], [06:05], [08:04]).
• Details at the Scene:
  • Daniel still wore his coat, suggesting he was killed shortly after walking in ([06:51]).
  • A jug of coins, camping equipment, and other items were missing ([06:51]).
  • Unusual cleanup evident by mop and bucket, as well as luminol-detected blood traces ([08:04]).
  • Mixed shoeprints – including Daniel’s own boots – found in blood ([09:37]).
  • Crime scene details (cleanup, stolen goods, multiple shots) questioned whether this was a burglary gone wrong or masked as one ([10:45]).

Victimology and Investigation

• Daniel Callaway: Compassionate, well-loved hospital research assistant, environmental advocate, with no known enemies ([11:25] - [12:42]).
• Johnny Schultz: Cleared as a suspect due to an airtight alibi ([13:52]).
• Motive Theories: Initially suspected a robbery, given the missing change jar and items, but the violent overkill and staged burglary elements suggested complexity ([14:10]).

The Second Homicide: Patricia Andrews

• Timeline: Occurred within 10–11 hours of Daniel’s murder and only five blocks away ([14:45]).
• Details:
  • Patricia, 47, was killed with a gunshot to the head and her body dragged to a grassy area ([18:16]).
  • Purse found at the scene, empty of the $450 she had won at video poker that night ([20:02]).
  • Witnesses observed two individuals moving her body, indicating possible accomplice ([20:48]).
  • No apparent gang ties or obvious motive—suggested robbery but again, circumstances unusual ([21:33]).
• Community Fear: The back-to-back, similar murders stoked panic of a crime spree ([22:09]).

The Forensic Breaks

• Ballistics: Uncommon .38 caliber "wad cutter" bullets used in both killings tied the murders together ([22:41]).
  • "It’s called a wad cutter, which has a blunt end instead of a pointed end on the bullet. Bullet usually used in target practice..." - Stacey Hayworth ([22:41])
• Coin Jar as Lead:
  • Detectives theorized the killer would redeem the coins at a Coinstar machine ([24:03]).
  • Surveillance at local Kroger gave a rough suspect image; Coinstar receipt led to a fingerprint, which matched Levine Gates, a local ex-con ([25:09] - [26:51]).
  • "They were able to go through the tickets from the Coin Star machine, and there was one in the amount of roughly $40 that occurred at the same point in time that the surveillance showed him. … The ticket eventually went to the Oregon State Police crime lab for prints." - Stacey Hayworth ([25:37])
• Forensics Ties Everything Together: Prints on a cheeseburger wrapper and DNA on a fork and straw further tied Gates to the crime scenes and victims ([34:29], [35:13]).

The Suspect: Levine Gates

• Background: 27-year-old with prior non-violent offenses, nothing on record suggesting murder ([27:13]).
• Behavior:
  • After the murders, Gates broke into Daniel’s house, ate shrimp, lit candles, and lingered ([28:41]-[29:39]).
  • "The oddest thing of all was that he made himself a meal at the house. He got into the freezer and pulled out frozen shrimp, cooked some shrimp, put it in a ceramic bowl and ate the shrimp so the shrimp shells were still there." - Stacey Hayworth ([29:17])
• Elusiveness: He was homeless, making him hard to track. Eventually found living in a tent inside his sister’s attic ([37:02]).

Arrest, Evidence, and Motive

• Arrest: Gates apprehended after six-week manhunt, arrested with three children in his care ([37:36]).
• Critical Evidence:
  • Backpack contained the murder weapon (Derringer .38) and unique bullets ([38:13], [38:39]).
  • Stolen goods from Daniel’s house, including camping equipment and boots—boots matched prints at the scene ([39:00]-[39:36]).
  • The Derringer required multiple reloads in Daniel’s murder, indicating intent and chilling determination ([39:56]).
  • "He fired off six rounds at Mr. Calloway. … The gun…only a two shooter. So as you can imagine, it would have been horrifying for Mr. Calloway to confront Mr. Gates, who had a two shooter and ended up reloading the derringer two times before he completed the homicide." - Stacey Hayworth ([39:56])
• Accomplice Theory: Although two people were seen with Patricia’s body, evidence of another perpetrator was never found ([41:25]).

Legal Journey: Trial and Plea

• Mental Health Questions: Gates claimed to hear voices; received a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia ([42:14]).
• Insanity Defense: Prosecutor and experts believed his actions were too organized for such a defense to hold ([43:33]).
  • "He fired the gun and loaded it up a couple more times. So that's goal directed behavior." - Stacey Hayworth ([43:33])
• Plea: Gates avoided trial by entering a no contest plea to two counts of aggravated murder, guaranteeing life without parole ([44:24], [46:46]).
  • "He would always say, you know, there's enough evidence to find me guilty of this charge, but I'm not going to plead guilty to it. Which, you know, in my way of thinking, is, you know, the coward's way out." - Stacey Hayworth ([44:50])
• Impact on Families: Families were devastated that Gates never admitted guilt ([45:27]-[45:52]).
  • "You could imagine the anger on the part of Mr. Calloway's parents, on the part of Ms. Andrews mother and children…What he's not going to say he's guilty is nothing to say." - Stacey Hayworth ([45:52])

[Stacey Hayworth]

And who's next? I mean, that was our big fear. You know, by the time we observed the autopsies, we were very frightened that this individual, whoever it was, would continue killing people.

[Scott Weinberger]

I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy Sheriff.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

I'm Anasiga Nicolasi, former New York City Homicide prosecutor and host of Investigation Discoveries True Conviction.

[Scott Weinberger]

And this is Anatomy of Murder.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Whether you're in a small town or a big city, a homicide investigation can demand an enormous amount of resources, personnel and hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours.

[Scott Weinberger]

And since every murder requires the same attention, there's no economies of scale and detective work. Double the homicides, double the demand on your police force.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

The exception being when those homicides might be connected. When evidence suggests that multiple murders may have been committed by just one killer.

[Scott Weinberger]

It'S an efficiency no department wishes for. But when two investigations merge into one, it can pay dividends in resources and of course, in the hunt for justice.

[Stacey Hayworth]

My name is Stacey Hayworth. I worked at the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office in Portland, Oregon for 31 years.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Our guest today has plenty of those Investigative hours under her belt. In her career as a prosecutor in a county that encompasses a large portion of the Portland metropolitan area.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Most of my time was spent in person crimes. Domestic violence, domestic violence unit, criminal unit, the gang unit, theft unit. But most of my emphasis was doing homicide cases.

[Scott Weinberger]

And unfortunately, the majority of those homicides often brought her back to the same area about five miles north of downtown Portland. A transitional neighborhood with a high crime rate.

[Stacey Hayworth]

I would say that a good 50, 60% of the homicides I responded to were in that general vicinity five mile area.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But throughout the early 2000s, there were plenty of young professionals that recognized the neighborhood's charm and potential. Among them were 32 year old Daniel Calloway and his partner, Johnny Schultz.

[Stacey Hayworth]

In the past, when I first began as a da, it was not considered the best place to live. There had been a lot of gang activity in that area. It had been getting better by the time Mr. Calloway and his partner moved there, but still somewhat of a sketchy area.

[Scott Weinberger]

The couple had bought a three bedroom fixer upper in the overlooked neighborhood in 2006 and after a fresh coat of paint and some small renovations in it was starting to feel like the forever home they'd always dreamed about.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But on the evening of November 16, 2007, that dream turned into a nightmare. It was about 10pm and Johnny had just come home expecting to see Daniel, who usually got home from work a little after 6 o'. Clock.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Mr. Schultz was with a friend. They entered the house and he immediately noticed that a table was a skewet in a living room.

[Scott Weinberger]

Johnny called out to Daniel but got no response. The house was unusually dark except for a single light that was on in a first floor bedroom.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Johnny went back to that rear end of the house and located Daniel, who was laying face down in that north east bedroom.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Johnny rushed to his partner's side and rolled him over, only to discover that Daniel was bleeding from what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds, including one to his head.

[Scott Weinberger]

Johnny called 911 and first responders rushed to the scene, but it was too late. Daniel was declared deceased at the scene, shot to death in his own home.

[Stacey Hayworth]

The initial information that I received was that there was a homicide victim at a home on North Montana street in Portland that was about four or five miles outside of downtown Portland.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Stacy soon responded to the scene alongside police.

[Stacey Hayworth]

I approached the house, obviously put on booties for my feet to not mess with the evidence and walk through the crime scene. The body was still there. Mr. Calloway was still there. The scene Itself was messy, as you might imagine, things were displaced. There was a fair amount of blood trailing from the living room area back to a northern area of the house where Mr. Calloway's body was face down on the floor.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

His injuries left no doubt of the killer's intent.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He had an entry wound right in his forehead, just almost at the eye level. But on his forehead he also had a wound in his abdomen.

[Scott Weinberger]

There were also clues to when the murder may have taken place and perhaps.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Why he was fully clothed. He still had his coat on. So we knew that he was killed shortly after coming home from work. We had learned from Johnny, Daniel's partner, that a large jug of coins was missing. We also later learned that there was a number of items taken, primarily camping equipment, clothing, shoes, that sort of stuff.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Daniel's white Subaru Legacy was also missing from the driveway. So the initial theory was that Daniel may have interrupted a home invasion and paid the ultimate price.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Yes, we were able to conclude that there were six shots fired. We found two of the bullets at the autopsy, one still in his brain, another one was found in his coat, and then the other four were located at the residence in various areas in the residence, primarily in the living room area.

[Scott Weinberger]

But the shot pattern was the first clue that this was not like other robberies that suddenly turned fatal, because the killer did not just fire and flee, he fired multip times, striking his victim over and over until he knew he was dead.

[Stacey Hayworth]

The other bizarre aspect was that a mop was used. And it was obvious that a mop was used because they enhanced the kitchen area by using a substance, a crime lab did. And you could see that it had been cleaned up because you couldn't see it with the naked eye. Blood in the kitchen. But, you know, once they used all their special chemicals, it was obvious that cleanup had happened at that residence. We knew some had happened because we found a bucket and a sponge mop. But it was so strange because what was this person trying to clean up? So that's what made that crime scene unusual.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So not only did the suspect not flee the scene, he stayed to clean up, or at least tried to clean up any incriminating evidence. A hint that perhaps killer may have been someone Daniel or Johnny knew or could identify.

[Stacey Hayworth]

If you're an unknown assailant, you come into a home, you commit a murder, why would you clean up? So that was just extraordinarily bizarre. The only thing that we sort of felt like was, was he going to lie and wait for Johnny to come home? Did this person Know Johnny thinking that Johnny would come home and he would kill Johnny as well.

[Scott Weinberger]

And despite the killer's efforts, he may have left behind some telltale clues to his identity. After spraying the kitchen with luminol, investigators were able to detect remnants of not one, but two distinctive sets of blood. Shoe prints. On the linoleum floor, we had two.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Separate types of footprints, bloody footprints. One of the prints came from a pair of shoes that appear to have been worn by the perpetrator and then placed underneath a master bedroom bed. Then it appears that he had taken another pair of Mr. Calloway's boots or hiking boots, put those on, and left it. Separate print in the kitchen area of the house.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So whoever killed Daniel had actually been walking around the crime scene in his victim's shoes, which is just a bizarre detail that once again, does not seem to fit the normal MO Of a burglar, even an armed and dangerous one.

[Scott Weinberger]

Or it was possible that there were actually two people involved in Daniel's murder and Anna Seger. I think it's worth discussing and sort of peeling back what the scene was revealing to investigators. Let me key on a few things. The victim was still wearing a jacket, like if he just walked in. And so the shooter or shooters were already inside the house. And the next thing is that cleanup. So unusual, not the fact that it was being done, but the fact that after cleaning up, they just left the mop and the bucket.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

It really almost just goes to. It's either one of two things, Right? Did he interrupt a burglary, or was it that someone was inside waiting for him, kills him, and then takes things to make it look like a burglary? You know, you just don't know which way it goes. But that is going to be at least one of the crimes involved here. That much seems clear.

[Scott Weinberger]

Yeah. And either way, the multiple shots show intention to kill, and the cleanup definitely shows a consciousness of guilt. So as investigators began their victimology, we talk about that often, learning as much as they could about Daniel Calloway. The idea that he would have been the target of this kind of violence seemed incredibly unlikely.

[Stacey Hayworth]

You learn a certain amount about people during these homicide cases, as you know, when you meet their family members. And he was very much loved by his family and his friends. Daniel Calloway's was very well thought of in the community. Among his friends, Johnny was not able to even think of an enemy. This essentially was a whodunit case.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

According to his friends, he was the last person anyone would want to hurt. And when you got to Know him, you could see why. Daniel was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, before moving to Oregon in 1979. After college at the University of Oregon, he moved to Portland, where he began to put down roots in what he saw as a progressive and inclusive community.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He ultimately ended up at a hospital in town working for the oncology department doing research.

[Scott Weinberger]

And while his job title was clinical research assistant, much of Dan's work involved interacting with cancer patients and their families, for which he really had a special gift.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He was known to be a very compassionate individual, very loved among his co workers as well as the patients.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Daniel also had a lifelong affair with the great outdoors and was known for his sense of humor and his dedication to social justice.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Daniel was engaged in his community, went to community events. He was an active sort of environmentalist. This is not the type of guy that you would expect to have a crime committed towards. He had no record, nice guy, no enemies, nobody who had a motive to kill him.

[Scott Weinberger]

He was also in a loving relationship with his partner Johnny, a designer who shared many of Daniel's passions.

[Stacey Hayworth]

They had been together, it would have been eight years. The day following his murder would have been their 8th year anniversary.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Johnny was also the person who knew him best. And as we know early on in any homicide investigation, that's also the person detectives want to talk to first.

[Scott Weinberger]

And this is not out of any initial suspicion, but rather out of tried and true routine. As we know, the vast majority of murders that occur inside someone's home are domestic in nature.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Johnny had been the person who called 911 and he was demonstrating what police interpreted as genuine shock and sorrow over Daniel's murder.

[Scott Weinberger]

He also had no criminal record, no history of violence, and no gun ever registered in his name.

[Stacey Hayworth]

We knew that Johnny was at a pub in Portland with a friend of his conducting, I think, some sort of business stuff. He was with her from, I want to say, 6pm until he came home. So we knew he was not involved in the actual shooting.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Despite some of the unusual details at the crime scene, detectives became more and more convinced that Daniel's killer or killers was not someone he knew, couldn't see.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Anybody in his life that would have done anything thing of this nature. And of course we didn't think anybody he knew would have broken into his home and gone and stolen a Carlo Rossi jar full of coins. That's somebody who would be an unknown perpetrator in our opinion.

[Scott Weinberger]

They believe the motive behind the shooting was robbery. However, what happened next threatened to change that opinion.

[Stacey Hayworth]

While we were at the Calloway scene into the morning. We learned that There was a second homicide and we had learned that it was only five blocks away from Mr. Calloway's house.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Could this second homicide just blocks away really be a random coincidence? Or were the two murders connected?

[Scott Weinberger]

The answer would be found in the forensics.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Detectives were still at the scene of the murder of 32 year old Daniel Calloway when a call came in overlook the police radio. Another shooting had been reported just a.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Few blocks away around 5 in the morning. So roughly 10, 11 hours later, two people heard a gunshot five blocks away from the Calloway crime scene. One of the persons who had called in to 911 described seeing two people sort of drag a person across the street into a grassy area.

[Scott Weinberger]

Stacy Hayworth from The Maluma County DA's office joined detectives rushing to the scene near the corner of Minnesota street and North Killingsworth, just a short walk from where Daniel Calloway had been killed less than 12 hours earlier.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And like Daniel, the woman had been shot in the head. She was dragged to a small patch of grass and presumably left to die on the side of the street.

[Stacey Hayworth]

She had been found with just one gunshot, and it was on the left side of her head, sort of in the jawline, just below the ear, fully clothed. Her purse, was there no money in the purse?

[Scott Weinberger]

The victim was ID'd as a local woman named Patricia Andrews.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Patricia was 47 years old. She had three adult children. Her mother lived in town. She was born and raised in Portland.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So the empty purse would seem to indicate that Patricia was also the target of a fatal robbery. But once again, there were some strange details that stood out to police. One was the fact that she was not found near her home or anywhere she would have typically been walking, especially not at five o' clock in the morning.

[Scott Weinberger]

Yeah. And there was also the possibility that she had been killed somewhere else and left at that location. A theory which was also supported by the condition of her body when she was found.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It looked like she hadn't been dragged because I think that her upper clothing was sort of moved up on her body. In other words, the clothing lifted while the body was being taken over to the side of the road into this grassy area where her body was found.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

There's also the fact that she didn't stand out as a typical target for robbery. She was not in her car. She didn't carry a cell phone or wear flashy jewelry. And typically she carried very little money.

[Stacey Hayworth]

She was not a person who had a lot of money at all. She spent most of her life, I think, relatively poor.

[Scott Weinberger]

However, police discovered that this was not a typical night for Patricia.

[Stacey Hayworth]

That particular night, she had been playing video poker and had won approximately $450.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

It seemed like more evidence that Patricia was not picked at random, because how would the killer have known she was carrying that much cash Unless he or she knew about her recent good luck at poker.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It's possible that he was even present at the location where she won the money. That quite likely because he would have learned that she won the money.

[Scott Weinberger]

So much like in Daniel Calloway's murder, you had a shooting death that had all of the markings of a robbery, but with some anomalies that suggested the victim was not picked at random.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Unfortunately, also like in Daniel's murder, there were no immediate leads. And there was one disturbing detail that had been provided by an eyewitness at their meeting. May have been more than one person.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Involved There were two people in a home. I think one of them walked out and saw these two individuals moving. Patricia's body, upon seeing that, went back into the residence, was very frightened at that point in time, and then looked out the peephole of the front door of the residence to see when the two people, suspects walked by the home, they observed one person walk by the home. So they surmise it's the other individual left in an entirely different direction.

[Scott Weinberger]

So was this simply a crime of opportunity or was Patricia's murder somehow related to Daniel Calloway's?

[Stacey Hayworth]

Usually when we would have homicides close in time to one another in an area close, it's usually a gang related homicide or homicides. In this instance, Mr. Calloway was not a member of a gang. Mr. Ms. Andrews was not. So these were not gang homicides. So it was unusual to have two homicides within a 10 or 11 hour period.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Just the fact that they occurred so close to each other, one right after the other, people in the community could not help but think that they were committed by the same person and, and were worried that the person was still at large.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It's a nightmare. I mean, as you can imagine, people were thinking this is a crime spree, there's two victims, two separate locations and there's not a whole lot of time in between and who's next? I mean, that was our big fear. You know, by the time we'd gone to observe the autopsies, we were very frightened that this individual, whoever it was, would continue killing people.

[Scott Weinberger]

And it was the autopsies that would provide the first definitive proof that these fears of a killing spree, they were well founded.

[Stacey Hayworth]

You know, I can tell you that we all sort of had this funny feeling that this doesn't seem right. But it really wasn't until we discovered at the autopsy that the same type of bullets were used. The bullet was not the usual type of bullet that is used. It's called a wad cutter, which has a blunt end instead of a pointed end on the bullet. Bullet usually used in target practice, these.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Unique square tipped bullets, they were the same type found at the scene of Daniel Calloway.

[Scott Weinberger]

Let me just add a quick explainer on wad cutter rounds. They're like tiny flat top cylinders, like small little hockey pucks designed primarily for target work and occasionally loaded in self defense snub nose revolvers. You know, these wide cutters remained a specialized round that virtually never surface at real world homicides. And as an investigator, that would be a really important piece of data. It was proof that Daniel and Patricia's murders were connected. Both victims likely killed by the same person.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Which was both a tragic and frightening conclusion. But it also meant that a break in one case might be a break in both. So remember that bottle of coins that was stolen from Daniel and Johnny's home? Well, it turned out that tracking that down would be the first step in solving both murders.

[Stacey Hayworth]

We had a very whip smart detective who worked on this case who had learned from Jomini that this very large Carlo Rossi bottle, liquor bottle, had been filled with coins. And this detective surmised that those coins would be taken to a grocery store, to a Coin Star machine within the grocery store, so that the defendant will be able to have easy access to money.

[Scott Weinberger]

Yeah, and if you don't know it already, a Coin star is a vending machine where customers can bring their loose change, their coins, and exchange it for larger denominations of paper currency. And there happened to be one not far from Daniel Calloway's house.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And it would make sense that whoever stole that paper big bottle of coins would likely want to exchange it for paper cash. So the detective found the nearest Coin Star location and pulled the video.

[Stacey Hayworth]

And sure enough, he went to a Kroger store in Portland and was able to find surveillance video of the suspect pouring the coins into a Coin Star machine.

[Scott Weinberger]

Now, that video was not the best quality and was not that helpful in getting a detailed description of the suspect, but it was a start.

[Stacey Hayworth]

They knew that it was an African American male, medium build, I would say not fat, not skinny. That's about it. They could not tell who it was.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So how are these investigators going to identify this person? Because you typically don't have to give a name or submit an ID to get your money from a Coin Star, but you do have to bring your receipt to the cashier.

[Stacey Hayworth]

And that's where we hit our first break. They were able to go through the tickets from the Coin Star machine, and there was one in the amount of roughly $40 that occurred at the same point in time that the surveillance showed him. They knew that this had to be the guy. The ticket eventually went to the Oregon State Police crime lab for prints.

[Scott Weinberger]

The crime lab took the paper receipt that was handled by the suspect and was able to lift, amazingly, a fingerprint from that. Now, the next step was to try to find a match with any of the prints already on file with local, state, and even federal authorities.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And just let me say that this process is not like you see on tv, where a computer screen just spits out a Match in a few seconds. It's more complicated and a longer process than that.

[Stacey Hayworth]

I think people think that it's really easy to compare fingerprints, but, you know, when we provided that ticket to the crime lab, the expert had to go back into records, compare the prints to certain other prints. In other words, he wasn't just able to put it through a machine and get a match. So it took a few days for him to make the correct identifiers, certain ridges and so forth that he had to use.

[Scott Weinberger]

And those identifiers signified a match with fingerprints on file belonging to a 27 year old Portland man named Levine Gates.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Ultimately, he compared the print to an old burglary case that Mr. Gates had been involved in. And that's how he was able to confirm that it was Mr. Gates.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Levine Gates had an arrest record that included charges of drug activity, weapons and burglaries. But to investigators surprise, nothing violent, certainly nothing coming close to the crime. He was now suspected of a double murder.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He did like to steal cars. He had two convictions for delivery of controlled substance cocaine. So he was a user and a dealer, but not a large dealer whatsoever. More just a hand to hand guy who lived somewhat of a marginal life. He was not on anybody's radar screen whatsoever. There's really no person crimes that would suggest that he would do anything like this.

[Scott Weinberger]

Nonetheless, he was now the top suspect in the murders of Daniel Calloway and Patricia Andrews. The only problem, he had no fixed address and police really had no idea where to find him.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He was on probation and parole, although he had been out of contact, so we did not know where he lived.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So it would take some time to track him down, which would involve identifying past addresses, family members and other associates until they could get a lead on his whereabouts. But with the suspect capable of gunning down two strangers for what seemed to be less than $500, time was not a luxury investigators had.

[Scott Weinberger]

But this is where the case takes a really weird twist. Because just as investigators are closing in on a suspect, there's a report of another break in at the home of the first victim, Daniel Calaway.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But luckily this time no one had been hurt. And the intruder? Well, they were gone before police arrived.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It was obvious that somebody had been in there. There were some bizarre things in the house that had been done. There were a number of matches, like used matches all over the floors, like 19 used matches where we couldn't figure this out. There were some candles in some places. It was as if he didn't want to turn the lights on. So people would suspect him of being inside the residence.

[Scott Weinberger]

But whoever it was that broke in seemed to be in no hurry to leave.

[Stacey Hayworth]

There's a lot of wax from the candles on the floor, but the oddest thing of all was that he made himself a meal at the house. He got into the freezer and pulled out frozen shrimp, cooked some shrimp, put it in a ceramic bowl and ate the shrimp so the shrimp shells were still there.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

He took the time to prepare and eat a meal. It's the kind of bizarre, brazen behavior that made investigators believe it must be related to the murder.

[Stacey Hayworth]

The whole case was creepy enough that we both thought, this is our guy.

Someone broke into the house to do, of all things, prepare themselves a meal.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It's just so brazen. And I really have been never encountered anything quite like it before in all the homicides I'd been out to.

[Scott Weinberger]

So, Anna Sega, you probably start by assuming it may be the same person who was involved in the murder. Is the shooter interested in returning to the crime scene for the thrill of it? Potentially. Is there a possibility in their mind that nobody has even checked and that something at the house that happened before may be still there? I mean, who knows? Either way, it's just an unbelievably weird situation.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

That part is 100% true. But I don't know. When I look at it, it just seems to me that it's actually not that well thought out whether it was to fuel some sort of a habit. You know, gambling. Remember, Patricia was killed shortly after hitting it big at a local slot machine. Or a narcotics habit. Or just a person somehow down on their luck for some other reason. They're clearly looking for easy money. Look, what was taken. I mean, it is literally change. And then the dollars that Patricia had on her, well, then, if it's the same person. So they go back to Daniel's home, which, as you said, is bizarre. Almost like a squatter who wanted a place to stay. They light candles at night, which aren't as obvious as turning the lights on. So to me, this is like. Rather than some mastermind or anything like this deep seated psychosis, it's more like someone or something, I should say more simple. Like a person who, I don't know, maybe doesn't have an address and is looking for quick cash.

[Scott Weinberger]

Yeah, I mean, clearly for the investigators, it's an unexpected development in the investigation, but. But it's also an opportunity anecinga because it provides yet another chance to collect forensic evidence that might further incriminate if it's their same person, as we've said. Levine, Gates.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Right. Because there are dirty dishes that were left in the sink, and dirty dishes mean possible DNA.

[Stacey Hayworth]

So the shrimp shells are still there. And fortunately, the fork was still there as well.

[Scott Weinberger]

A DNA sample was recovered from the dirty fork, and while there was no match on codis, the it would come in handy to compare it to any future samples taken from their suspect if they could ever find them.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Which was not proving easy. But you know what they did find? Daniel's stolen car.

[Stacey Hayworth]

The car was found in a different area of Portland, in southeast Portland, Long distance from where the homicides occurred. The key was still in the ignition.

[Scott Weinberger]

And I'm sure the hope was that the car would provide a trove of strong evidence, hopefully pointing back to their suspect, Levine Gates.

[Stacey Hayworth]

There were a number of things inside the Subaru, including this cheeseburger wrapped, you know, paper cup of Coca Cola. It still had a straw and a lid on it that was there. Not much, if anything else. No belongings of anybody's. There was nothing that belonged to Mr. Gates or Ms. Andrews that was found in the car.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But thanks to forensic analysis, that fast food trash turned out to be enough because investigators were able to lift prints from the cheeseburger wrapper. Sure enough, they had a perfect match for both the coin star receipt and the print on file for their suspect, Levine Gates.

[Scott Weinberger]

Forensic techs were also able to recover DNA from the drinking straw and match it to the DNA recovered from the dirty fork in Daniel Calloway's home, which was the linchpin in tying Gates to the second break in.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But incredibly, there was a second sample of DNA on that straw. And to detective's surprise, it belonged to the second homicide victim, Patricia Andrews. And that Scott right there is one of those things that you're like, wait, what? It's the last thing I expected to hear, but I don't know, it almost seems to me like maybe if this is Gates, that he was at the casino or wherever she was playing those machines, saw her with the money and somehow, I don't know, he offers her a ride home. Maybe he knew her, we don't know, but that she's in the car at some point, right? And then he, I don't know, takes her money and kills her after that.

[Scott Weinberger]

Basically it means that she was in contact with that cup and that cup ended up in the car, which is now connected to the first murder. The car from V1 or victim one, and the cup from V2, victim two. So there's that connective tissue. The story behind it is still unfolding, but what an interesting development. The mounting evidence Anasega just added to the urgency to get Gaetz in police.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Custody at that time had this very crack team of multiple agencies on the lookout for him. We were able to learn about the sister's address through a parole or probation officer. And so that's when they started scoping out that area and located him. He was eventually located about six weeks after the homicides and was living in the attic of his sister's, I believe, as a rental home.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Taking no chances, members of the US Marshall's Oregon Fugitive Task Force set up a 24 hour stakeout of the property.

[Stacey Hayworth]

They were surveilling the house and waiting for him to emerge. And when he did, it's 7pm on January 3rd, and he has three little kids with him from the ages between three and five. So we don't know whether or not that was planned.

[Scott Weinberger]

On January 3, 2008, Levine Sterling Gates was arrested in connection with the murder of Daniel Calloway and Patricia Andrews. And even as he was being cuffed, he offered up critical evidence that did tie him to both murders.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And I do think we need to note here that the kids were of course, moved to safety first.

[Stacey Hayworth]

I think the kids might originally have been there a little bit because they placed him into custody, put him in the police car, and Mr. Gates is trying to tell officers something. And what he's trying to tell them is that, could you give my backpack to the kids and have them take it home? Of course. Inside the backpack is the Derringer that he used to kill both Mr. Calloway and Ms. Anderson.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Along with the gun, police police found five.38 caliber wad cutter bullets in Gates backpack, the same unique ammunition used to.

[Scott Weinberger]

Kill both his victims inside his sister's home. Police find even more evidence to tie him to the crimes, including Daniel's stolen camping equipment and his missing hiking boots.

[Stacey Hayworth]

There were a couple of tents that were taken from the Callaway residence because as I mentioned, Daniel was an avid hiker. He had a couple tents and like I want to say, two sleeping bags, boots, hiking boots, you know, pretty high end hiking gear and clothing, Timberland boots. But the strange thing is that Mr. Gates, he put together the tent in the attic and slept. It looked like he slept in a sleeping bag in the tent in the attic and everything else is sort of strewn around there.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Eventually, analysts would match the tread of the hiking boots with the bloody shoe prints found in Daniel's kitchen.

[Scott Weinberger]

And that gun in his backpack, that.38 caliber Derringer, that too was matched to both murders. But identifying the murder weapon also added a pretty horrifying dimension to the story of Daniel's murder.

[Stacey Hayworth]

And as I mentioned, you know, he fired off six rounds at Mr. Calloway. And the gun we later found out was a Derringer, which essentially has a three inch barrel, but it's only a two shooter. So as you can imagine, it would have been horrifying for Mr. Calloway to confront Mr. Gates, who had a two shooter and ended up reloading the derringer two times before he completed the homicide.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

He reloaded his gun not once but twice, firing all Six bullets at his victim with the clear intention of taking his life.

[Stacey Hayworth]

This is obviously a robbery, but it was primarily murder. It's almost like in his mind, he was thinking, well, you know what, I could sure you some money for dinner. And then breaks into a home thinking that he could find some things, and then comes across for Mr. Calloway, and then, you know, just doesn't think anything of killing him. Just immediately kills the poor man.

[Scott Weinberger]

And less than five hours later, he had encountered Patricia Andrews and shared a soda in Daniel's stolen car before robbing her, shooting her once in the head, and leaving her body on the side of the road.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

A pretty clear picture of the night of both murders had come into focus. But one thing investigators were never able to figure out was whether Gates had an accomplice. Because, remember, there was an eyewitness who had reported seeing two people dragging Patricia's body across the street.

[Stacey Hayworth]

We were never able locate a second person.

[Scott Weinberger]

Gaetz was indicted on January 4th by a grand jury on nine counts of aggravated murder with a firearm, as well as six other counts related to burglary and tampering with evidence as required by.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Laws for a speedy trial. Stacey was ready to present the prosecution's case. But then that plan hit a delay.

[Stacey Hayworth]

The defense attorney said that his client was, he thought, was unable to aid and assist in his own defense. So Mr. Gates was committed to the Oregon State Hospital. Under our Oregon rules that are called to fitness to proceed rules, Gates spent.

[Scott Weinberger]

Nearly nine months being evaluated for mental health conditions that would temporarily deem him unfair fit to stand trial.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He had, in an earlier case, I believe in 2005, had been sent down to Oregon State Hospital as well. At that time, he had talked about hearing voices. And when you hear of people hearing voices, the automatic thing you think about is schizophrenia. And while he had not been diagnosed with schizophrenia at that time, during the course of his stay now at the Oregon State Hospital, pending this case, there had been a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

That diagnosis was not unanimous, and there was some question as to whether Gates might be faking or at least exaggerating his symptoms.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Now, there had been an additional psychiatrist who thought that he was malingering or was faking Some of this infant had claimed to hear auditory hallucinations, though I should note that none of these were command hallucinations that you. You might hear about in other murder cases where people hear God or somebody else telling them to kill somebody. There was nothing of that nature. So had he wanted to use a guilty. Except for an insane defense, it just would not have been successful.

[Scott Weinberger]

And the reason Stacy believed an insanity defense would not have worked is due to the Gates engaging in what you she called goal directed behavior.

[Stacey Hayworth]

As an example, he fired the gun and loaded it up a couple more times. So that's goal directed behavior. And then having the presence of mind to put all this stuff in a car and then take it to the grocery store to cash in the coin. So he's in control of a car. He can conform enough to abide by the rules of the street. There's really nothing, no flags to suggest whatsoever that he was hearing voices at that time.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And if you recall, someone had tried to clean up the scene of Daniel's murder. That's evidence that the killer knew that what he had done was wrong and didn't want to get caught. And the standard for an insanity defense to prevail is that that person does not know right from wrong due to their mental condition. In the end, Gates decided to avoid a trial altogether and pled no contest to two counts of aggravated murder.

[Scott Weinberger]

So I'm sure our listeners have heard that being said, you know, probably on podcasts, TV shows, and movies, but what's the actual definition of pleading no contest?

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

So, basically, what it means is this, that it works like a guilty plea, but the person doesn't actually have to admit their guilt. Right. So it's a workaround that achieves the finality of the plea and sentence. Yet also, it's often frustrating because the killer doesn't ever have to actually admit their guilt.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He just never wanted to say that he was guilty. So he would always say, you know, there's enough evidence to find me guilty of this charge, but I'm not going to plead guilty to it. Which, you know, in my way of thinking, is, you know, the coward's way out.

[Scott Weinberger]

And in this case, the plea of no contest guaranteed that Gates would be sentenced to prison, mitigating the risk of a jury trial, even one with so much convincing evidence.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Just one juror that says no, it could be a huge problem. So, yeah, we've had a very strong case. As you said, anything can happen in a jury draw.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

But I can tell you that accepting a no contest plea from a defendant is still difficult, especially for the family, because it meant by law, Gates did not ever have to admit guilt or allocute to his crimes. And that can leave a big missing piece in a family. Family's need for accountability. Just hearing those words, I did it, I am guilty of these crimes, can be an important piece for a family that has Already lost so much.

[Stacey Hayworth]

It's difficult when you speak to family members of victims to describe why somebody chooses to do that and why we're going to let them do that. You could imagine the anger on the part of Mr. Calloway's parents, on the part of Ms. Andrews mother and children. What he's not going to say he's guilty is nothing to say. And then telling them that, look, if we refuse to do the no contest plea, that could end up being a huge trial that's going to prolong this whole situation and be much worse. So we're going to let him do this and let him create this little fiction for himself and that just know that we know he knows that he's guilty of these charges.

[Scott Weinberger]

And then there's this. The plus side of his plea of no contest was Gaetz agreed to a maximum sentence.

[Stacey Hayworth]

He had to agree to life, no parole.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

At the sentencing, family members of both Daniel Calloway and Patricia Andrews gave powerful and emotional victim impact statements.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Patricia's mother spoke. She looked directly at Mr. Gates and she told him to look at her and she told him, I don't know the exact quote, but told him that she was being sentenced along with him, which was just heartbreaking to hear.

[Scott Weinberger]

Daniel's parents also expressed anger that Gates hadn't acknowledged his wrongdoing or showed any signs of remorse for the brutal and senseless killing of their son, Daniel's father.

[Stacey Hayworth]

You know, these people are just so broken and just made a comment about, you know, what did you get out of this? $40 worth of coins and a joyride in a car. Ultimately, his son was taken for that.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Daniel's mom even played a recording of the last voicemail she ever got from her son.

[Stacey Hayworth]

I can visibly see Mrs. Calloway just being tearful, having her face was crimson, shaking, just so sad and just so justifiably angry about everything that happened in this case.

[Scott Weinberger]

As we've said before, there are never really any happy endings in the story of a homicide, even when justice is ultimately achieved and the killer is removed from the streets. But there is an emotional and psychological toll on everybody involved, both survivors, investigators, and of course, prosecutors.

[Stacey Hayworth]

These cases, as you know, are just so difficult because you and I walk on to the next murder case. Of course we have a memory of what happened. We remember these cases because they were important to us. But we don't walk out of that like victims do. And it just sort of makes you question, you know, whether there's really truly justice in these cases for the community. There's justice, right? This person is locked away and not available to commit more horrendous crimes in the future. But for the family, it just justice just rings hollow for them. And certainly the day of this sentencing was very sad.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

And so I asked Stacy the same question I ask many of our guests. What is it that makes you go on to keep doing the job?

[Stacey Hayworth]

It's the knowledge that it's the right thing to do and it's the knowledge that you know you are saving the community from future harm. And then it's the knowledge that you're always going to be there if people need you to do the next one.

[Scott Weinberger]

This was a case of an incredible demonstration in the use of forensic technology. Inside Daniel Calloway's home, they reconstructed the shooter's vantage with three dimensional blood spatter geometry, lifted Gates's latent prints from the shattered rear door frame using magnetic powder and gel lifters, swabbed his palms and his cuffs. I mean, they did so much work with trace fibers and hairs. They really put this case together on the shoulders of every forensic person who ever invented some of the most important tools that are used today. And also let me say, inside Calloway's vehicle, they were able to place Patricia Andrews inside moments before her murder. And that yielded such incredible results.

[Anasiga Nicolasi]

Stealing is obviously a crime. People take things that don't belong to them for all sorts of reasons, possibly poverty, addiction, sometimes just for the thrill. But here, two lives were also intentionally taken as part of that crime spree. Lives two human beings that mattered and who were loved by others. Daniel Calloway was murdered, likely because Gates didn't expect him to be home. And rather than run, Gates shot him repeatedly, making sure he'd die. Patricia was likely robbed also and then murdered so she wouldn't report or id. Let's leave today's episode not focusing on their killer, but rather two lives taken from this earth many years before their time. Patricia's family spoke of her loss at sentencing and Daniel's mom played the voicemail she listens to on repeat to just hear the voice of her son. All loss is extremely painful. Loss to murder, clearly excruciating. Daniel Calloway and Patricia Andrews, you are both missed by many and remembered by this AOM community today. Tune in next week for another new episode of Anatomy of Murder.

[Podcast Narrator (Cold Blooded Mystery in Alaska promo)]

In March 2017, police in Ketchikan, Alaska got a worried call and I haven't.

[Stacey Hayworth]

Heard from them, so I'm getting worried.

[Podcast Narrator (Cold Blooded Mystery in Alaska promo)]

It was about a beloved surgeon, one of just two in town named Eric Garcia. When police officers arrived to check on the doctor, they found him dead on a couch.

[Scott Weinberger]

Is it a suicide?

Is it a murder?

[Scott Weinberger]
