A Family Shattered

[07:49–16:36]

• Remembering Angelique and Vonda:
  The episode paints an intimate portrait—Angelique was creative, trusting, adored fantasy, poetry, and Wicca. She cared for her ailing mother, and both shared a deep bond.
  “Angel and mom were definitely a package deal.” ([11:13])

---

The Investigation: Dead Ends and Twists

[16:36–31:10]

• Walter Lucas as Red Herring:
  Lucas is quickly cleared—he was 200 miles away ([17:08]), though his DNA was present from visits.
• No Forensic Evidence:
  No forced entry, no foreign prints or DNA ([18:18]).
• Unsettling Letters:
  Investigators receive taunting letters allegedly from the killer:

---

Suspicions Turn to Angelique’s Fiancé

[31:10–41:21]

• Cracks in David’s Alibi:
  Initially, David Hoshaw seems to have an airtight alibi—at Boy Scout camp ([18:02], [14:14]). Investigators re-examine:
  “He certainly could have left boy scout camp. He could get to the house without being noticed.” ([30:53])
• Red Flags in the Relationship:
  Angelique’s diary and friends describe growing doubts and control issues:
  • “Why is he so secretive about his money?” ([49:48])
  • “David said in a condescending tone...don’t question me where I am.” ([50:59])
  • Friends sensed “an energy...that wasn’t good” ([49:10])
• David’s Past Emerges:
  Hoshaw’s history of abuse, deception, and criminal behavior is exposed via ex-wives' testimony:
  • “He showered a lot of attention on me...” – Allison Ashcroft ([46:00])
  • “He came down the hall and grabbed my throat and started strangling me.” – Naomi Hoshaw ([43:21])
  • He was administratively discharged from the Air Force following abuse accusations and inappropriately touching a 12-year-old ([45:01]). “We knew that there were at least six women that david hohshaw was involved in. And we investigated all six of them.” – Det. Malvin ([42:23])

---

The Breakthrough: A Trail of Clues

[41:21–61:00]

• Digital Evidence Unlocks Secrets:
  Forensic investigators find David changed the household computer’s password to “for Amanda”—his new lover ([36:25]). This leads to the discovery of David’s double life, actively courting Amanda as Angelique planned their wedding.
• Mapping Hoshaw’s Movement:
  A key breakthrough links David to the two letters through cell phone towers and credit card transactions:
  • First letter postmarked in Chicago ([55:46]).
  • Detectives prove David’s path via receipts and cell pings aligns perfectly with the drop points for both letters ([56:33]–[58:30]).
  • “That was really key. And we were able to put him between 2.1 and 12.6 miles from that post office.” ([56:46])
• Psychological Pressure and Confession:
  Police confront David. He lawyered up in formal questioning ([64:05]), but in a monitored “private” conversation with Amanda, he admits to mailing the letters to throw off police ([67:19-67:34]).
  “He eventually told her he mailed a letter to get us off the tail.” – Det. Malvin ([67:26])

---

Justice, Reflection, and Aftermath

[70:01–End]

• Case Built on Circumstantial Evidence:
  “To be blunt, what we did was we built up a case of circumstantial evidence, layering one piece of evidence information on top of another.” – Lead Investigator ([72:24])
• Guilty Plea:
  Facing overwhelming circumstantial evidence and a possible death penalty, Hoshaw pleads guilty to capital murder and first-degree murder ([74:44]).
  He is sentenced to two life terms without parole ([76:48]).
• Lingering Questions:
  The motive remains officially unclear—David claims he only meant to break up with Angelique, but “her emotions got my emotions going...it was like an impulse. And when I started, it just kept going. I just couldn’t stop.” ([78:33])
• Impact on the Surviving:
  The ripple effects for the victims’ friends and family are lasting and profound:
  • “You want people to be held accountable for their actions. Two people are no longer with us who should be.” ([71:36])
  • “I was sick to know my baby's daddy did this. I was distraught. I thought maybe I was having a nightmare.” – Amanda ([66:30])
  • Angelique’s sibling reads her poetry as a final tribute ([82:01–82:29]).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “You can still feel the murder in the house.” – Lead Investigator ([00:27])
• “A dying declaration is presumed to be the truth...completely counterintuitive to look at someone and tell them you’re going to die. For them to tell you their last thoughts...that’s very powerful.” – Detective Walter Whiteside ([07:04])
• “I just felt something just smack across the back of my head and I just blacked out.” – Allison Ashcroft ([39:57], [46:42])

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

you can still feel the murder in the house.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We had a 74 year old woman killed. A 35 year old woman killed. Somebody needed to tell this story.

[Officer John Schraft]

The blood, a lot of blood all over the mother and the daughter.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angel and mom were definitely a package deal. Why would you murder two innocent people? Two innocent women?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We have an extremely psychotic taunting killer who is taking pleasure in the homicide, who is taunting the police and writing this letter. About 12:30 or so I got my knife and did the dirty deed. What a rush. Don't bother checking for prints or DNA. I'm wearing a body suit and gloves.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

And then a second letter came in.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

I write to you again. I must confess. I have done it for a second time.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

And we had a killer apparently who was traveling the country.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The two letters sent by the killer made it pretty clear he's not only one step ahead of the cops. But the murder spree isn't over.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

911, what is the address of emergency? I need an accurate. I'm dying.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

It starts on Friday night, the 4th of July weekend in Norfolk, Virginia. John Schraft is a rookie officer working weekend shift.

[Officer John Schraft]

It's about 1:30 in the morning, patrolling the east ocean view area. Driving around, I was by myself doing normal routine patrols in that area when I got the call from dispatch to respond to Frieden Street.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Okay, is there any serious bleeding?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Please help me.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I need you to answer my questions. Is there any serious bleeding?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The victim keeps hanging up. The 911 operator keeps calling her back.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I'm dying.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Is anybody there with you? Is anybody there with you?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

This could be anything. An accident, burglary. It is much worse.

[Officer John Schraft]

As I'm approaching the steps, I can see that the interior front door is open and the screen door is shut. And I can also see that there's a light on inside the residence in front of him.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There is a faded sort of beige oriental rug on the floor and there is a lot of red, what he takes to be blood. And he sees an older woman on the floor on the rug next to a phone that appears to have blood on it.

[Officer John Schraft]

I immediately Drew my weapon, opened up the front door, walked in, asked the elderly female, is there anybody else in the residence? She said, my daughter is in the bedroom.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I looked around.

[Officer John Schraft]

My main concern was, is there the person that did this? Is that person still in the residence? Definitely nervous, but your adrenaline takes over for the situation at hand.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The lady that was apparently called 911, her name was later determined to be Vonda Goyena. And she actually was 74 years of age.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

This woman has been stabbed multiple times and her throat has been slit.

[Officer John Schraft]

So when the elderly female said, my daughter is in the bedroom, and I took a couple of steps towards the bedroom, walking down the hall, He knew

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

what he was going to find. A second victim.

[Officer John Schraft]

I could see that she was clearly deceased, covered in blood, laying naked, face down on the floor.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

She was later identified to be Angelique goyina. She was 35 years old.

[Narrator]

Within the blood soaked bed, you have this heartbreaking image of her childhood. Teddy be also soaked in blood. It is an image that is hard to forget. They've already checked Angel's room. Now they have to go through every other room in the house, the closets, the kitchen, to make sure that the killer is not still inside.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Detective Walter Whiteside arrives just minutes later.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

Unfortunately, I've been to a lot of homicide scenes. It was probably one of the worst. That room literally just looked like something out of the movies. It didn't even look real. Very rarely do you see a scene that gruesome. It was very clear that she had more stab wounds than what you could possibly count. I think it ended up being over 37, 38 stab wounds. There was just no rhyme or reason to why the amount of injuries were inflicted on the victims.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

He can still hear Vonda calling out for Angel.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

She kept asking, asking me how angel was doing, you know, if she was dead, if she was okay. It hits home. It does. You try to separate yourself from that, but I've got three children, so, you know, you do kind of empathize. You have to as a human. It's horrific.

[Narrator]

And he's starting to realize how many times that she's been stabbed. He knows at this point he doesn't have a lot of time.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

As EMTs work, Whiteside steps out to call a homicide detective who tells him what has to happen next.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

He asked me at that time to do a dying declaration.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

So a dying declaration is a legal term. Now, normally somebody has the right to confront their accuser in court. This is the exception to that. The accuser is actually dead. So with Their last breath. It's presumed to be the truth. A dying declaration can be used in court, but there is one rule.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

The person has to believe that they're going to die when they give you the statement. And then ultimately they have to die. Normal human compassion is to just tell everybody, oh, you're gonna be okay. Keep fighting, we're helping you. It's completely counterintuitive to look at someone and tell them you're gonna die. Basically, there's no hope. You're not gonna survive this. For them to tell you their last thoughts is, this is who did it to me, that's very powerful.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Walter Lucas, she says, Walter Lucas.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Two women stabbed to death inside this Frieden street home tonight. Norfolk police are looking for the person responsible. 74 year old Wanda Goyena died in the hospital yesterday, one day after getting stabbed. Her 35 year old daughter, Angelique Guyina died early Saturday morning.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The door frame around the front door had not been forced. They fingerprinted all the windows and found no latent fingerprints on any of the exterior windows to the house. No signs of some sort of forced entry.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

But nothing is stolen and there is no murder weapon. All the DNA and fingerprints belong to Vonda angel, her living fiance David and other family members.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The detectives have only one clue to pursue. They have to find Walter Lucas.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

As a family, we gathered and tried to find out what would possibly be a motive and we couldn't come up with a thing. Why would you murder two innocent people? Two innocent women?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Mailbox1. You have three old messages on my

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

answering machine from 15 years ago.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Hey y', all, Happy birthday. Ready?

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

It's Angelique and mom singing Happy birthday to me.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

I kept it so a month later, they're not on our planet.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Happy birthday.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

I've kept that for 15 years and somehow it's still intact.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

And many more.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

We always called her Angel. I mean, it's like if your parents called you, you know, by Angelique, come here, you're in trouble, right? But if you say angel, would you come here, Then you're not in trouble,

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

you know, angel is the baby of the family. She's younger than her three siblings by 16 years. And she loves fantasy novels, she loves dressing up in Elizabethan style. She writes poetry, she writes stories. And she and her best friend even wrote stories together.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

There was mythology and there was history. She wanted to believe in the good

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

of everyone,

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

which is something you don't find very often anymore.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

And that's why for her to be gone and stolen away like that. It was heart wrenching.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

This was a woman who loved imagination, loved the magical world.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

We went to a Renaissance fair. I think angel enjoyed just kind of the fun and the carefree nature of it. We went to Virginia beach and on the beach we saw the statue of Neptune. Just hung out and just spent time.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Angel's job may be in a sandwich shop, but her heart is clearly in her poetry.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

A heart is judged by the love it gives its thoughts, deeds and actions. First you must open your heart and take a chance.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Angel and her mother Vonda, were very close.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angel and mom were definitely a package deal.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

She was the caretaker for her mom who had dementia and heart problems. And that was her world.

[Angelique's Sibling]

Well, it was like my little sister was my mom's keeper. They did watch tv, they read. Angelique would write poetry and photography and art, you know, painting and drawing. That's what they did.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

My mom was from West Virginia and she was a hoot. Oh my gosh. But, you know, you couldn't pull the wool over her eyes at all. You know, we all tried, you know, and she was very creative as well. That's probably where angel got a lot of her creativity. Angelique and mom would always go to the store together. They would go out to the beach to go to one of the stores for the Wicca.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

They love the Wicca store, both of them. Wicca's a pagan spiritual practice. Some Wiccans even call themselves witches. They see all of the earth and sky and moon, all of nature. As a mother goddess, Angelique's always been

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

fascinated with the stars. It kind of opened her eyes to nature. Sunse leaves. There's definitely energy to things. It's kind of like the force be with you kind of thing.

[Narrator]

Beyond that, they also love tarot cards. Reading each other's future and fortunes.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

The tarot cards were. I remember them having tarot cards. Both of them. Tarot cards, palm reading, that kind of stuff.

[Narrator]

They had a love of reading, they had a love of tarot cards, nature walks in the park. They were really in tune with one another. More so as friends. Beyond that, mother and daughter special bond. They did everything together. They went everywhere together.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Except for, you know, of course, when Angelique would go out on a date, mom couldn't go. Then Angelique met most of the guys she dated online.

[Angelique's Sibling]

She wanted to be married and she wanted a family. Yes, she did. She talked about.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

I know that's something she definitely wanted and she was helpful.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

She did tell me she really wanted to have a child and she Was concerned that she was too old. She was 35. She was all over the page with dating one guy. He was really into motorcycles and so she'd be the passenger. And this one fella she dated was a pilot, small prop planes. And he let her fly. And it seemed to be exciting that she would date.

[Narrator]

In 2006, angel decides to put herself out there. So she signs up to a dating app and then days after she meets a man who's a father of two.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

What you can't live without. My dreams of finding happiness and love.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

My true love is out there.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

Still the last book you read. Stories with werewolves, vampires and other magical creatures.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

My sons are both in scouting so we like to go camping and things like that.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I'm good at dream interpretation. I live with and take care of me.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

Place a strong emphasis on family as well.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I love one day to get my my poetry published. I've dreamed of a knight in shining armor. Don't laugh, but I've kept a medallion of gold and silver of a knight upon his steed for the day I meet him.

[Narrator]

Angel's discovering so much more about David Hochall. He is an electrical designer. He's a scout master. He's seeming more and more to her like he could be the one.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

I remember angel telling me he seemed. She told me he had two boys and they were a big part of his life. I think angel wanted from David just to kind of be that Prince Charming, that knight in shining armor.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Angel meets the sons, all great and even meets David's ex wife, Naomi.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

David was an Eagle Scout, so of course he got the boys into scouting. They went camping with the scouts and they really enjoyed it. He was an adoring father.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

When I first met David, my initial thought was he looks cuddly. He looked cuddly to me.

[Narrator]

Within a matter of months they fall in love. David proposes and now he's moved in with her and Vonda and Angel is just off and running, planning a wedding.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

December 18, 2000, 2006. David Wayne Hosha Jr. David is my fiance and this will be the first of many Christmas memories that we will treasure. We are planning on being married September 15, 2007.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

Angel was into the Renaissance and she was having a special dressmate. It was very much Angel. It was red trim, you know, just kind of fairy tale.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

And her shoes, she actually bought from a store and decorated them the way she wanted them. You know, artists and all.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I think my married name will be pretty Angelique Elaine Hosha. I wonder if our children will have dark Hair like me and blue eyes like David.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

I still have the dress that I purchased to wear as maid of honor.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Of course, neither of those dresses are ever worn. Two months before her wedding, angel is killed. Police don't have much to work with at this point. Just a dying declaration with the name Walter Lucas. Who is this guy? Police need to track him down. Turns out Walter isn't hard to find.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Walter is my ex husband. We were married in our 20s and then, you know, we got divorced. But he stayed in touch with the family. Everybody loved him.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Not only does he seem unlikely, the detectives find that on the night of the murder, Walter was more than 200 miles away.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

When the detectives told me that Vonda mentioned my name, I knew I wasn't the one because first off I wasn't there and I knew that she had Alzheimer's, I just shrugged it off. But he said my DNA was there. And I said, well of course I was there the week before visiting them.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

But his alibi checks out so they have to cross Walter Lucas off the list.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

At the time that I was interviewed by the detectives, they said they don't have any leads.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

If there is no break in, the next question police ask is who could get into the house.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The only people with keys are the two dead women and members of the immediate family.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Everyone who has a key family, David the fiance, all have alibis to the

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

family Members confirmed that David Hoshaw is a couple hours away and he's on the middle peninsula in Virginia at a boy scout week long camp.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

David is with his 12 year old son. Other parents see him there at 11 o' clock Friday night. Now 6:30 Saturday morning he's there for camp breakfast and David drives back into Norfolk that afternoon.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

That Saturday was when he had brought my oldest back to me and everything was fine.

[Narrator]

Police track him down and they tell him that they need him to come down to the station.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

Then I'd gotten the call from the police department saying that my ex husband was there and that he needed a ride. The whole time I'm like, what happened? And David did say, well, you know, if I was there I could have saved him. And I'm like, what do you mean if you were there you could have saved him? You would be dead too.

[Angelique's Sibling]

Yeah, it was confusing because we had nobody to go after. No evidence.

[Narrator]

Days are passing and there's no arrest, no clues, no clear direction. They want justice, they want answers.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

It takes a little piece of your soul and it breaks your heart just a little more every time you have to tell them that there's no breakthrough in the case.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

But two weeks later, a pretty startling development. A single piece of paper changes it all. It's a confession.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

You meet a homicide victim's family for the first time. They don't know you from anybody in the world. And you suddenly are handling the most important thing in their life. The case involving death of their mother and their sister.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The police at this point are just stymied. It's been a month since the murders. There is no evidence. But then a development that most murder investigations never see. A letter from the killer. And it's postmarked from Chicago.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The act of the killing was not enough. Essentially, the killer is reliving it and writing this letter. So that is highly unusual. You don't have a clue, do you? I met the pretty biatch at the beach a few days before I killed her. She had her mother with her. She told me she was getting married in September, but she wanted to have one last fling beforehand. It references angel and her mother going to the beach.

[Narrator]

Now investigators cross check her diary where she actually talks about going to the beach with her mom.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

Me and mom decided not to waste a good day and we're ready to be on the beach by 8am or so after that, I'll play the rest of the day night by ear.

[Narrator]

And the dates line up.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There's also a description about going to laundry and everything else. And all that was consistent with the habits of angel and her mother.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

How would the writer know unless they knew the women, Unless they were actually

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

there when it came to going all the way. She told me she was having second thoughts and couldn't do it. About 12:30 or so, I got my knife and did the dirty deed. What a rush. I should have gagged her first because she screamed and woke up her mother. And that's mother. M O T H A

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

the detectives think the use of that kind of sleep, biatch and mother is kind of a clumsy way of trying to make them think the writer's black.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Angel had previously dated white men, African American men, different types of employment, which is one thing that confused the issue.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The writer clearly knows the victims.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Don't bother checking for prints or DNA. I'm wearing a body suit and gloves. Clearly it showed a killer that was reveling in what he had, really was unconcerned with talking about the act itself. And then, lo and behold, a second letter is received. It's mailed from Gaylord, Michigan, which is a small community in the middle of Michigan.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

This one is so Badly spelled. It's hard to read. Let me try. Detectives, I write to you again. I must confess. I have done it for a second time. Fried and street was. It was just the beginning for me.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

He's now saying that he's killed someone, possibly in the Midwest.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

It gave me such a rush. I can't explain. I will never forget me. First the Goyenas.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

So now they're checking the Midwest for unexplained homicides. A killer could be roaming from state to state. He could easily have come through Norfolk.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Norfolk, Virginia has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the United States.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

You have large ports, you have international airports. You're kind of the hub for 95 and 85 areas where people are traveling north and south a lot.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We have an extremely psychotic taunting killer who is taking pleasure in the homicide, who is taunting the police, who writes in a vernacular, words that are more commonly used by an African American or someone else other than some the of in the family. Both letters and envelopes were forensically checked. No DNA on either of them.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Taunting the police is not a smart move. It tends to make them even more determined. The case is about to add another detective and the most bizarre twist yet.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Man comes into the station, says he knows who did it, hands them a ceremonial knife and tells them he's a vampire.

Not available in all states.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There's no immediately available forensic evidence, meaning that there's no suspect fingerprints. We have no DNA at the scene.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

It's pretty clear investigators won't be able to rely on forensics to identify the killer. No physical evidence. No sign of forced entry. But that in itself gives them two important clues. First, these murders were likely planned. Second, it's probably someone angel and Vonda know. A close friend, maybe a romantic partner.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We have this fiance and they're set to get married in September. We aren't aware of any motive for him to want to do harm to his Fiance. And furthermore, he's out of the area.

[Narrator]

This is a dead end for them. And at this point, the rest of the family and the friends have been ruled out. Prosecutor Phil Evans needs a confidant, someone that he knows will get the job done. So he turns to a man that he's worked with with many times in the past.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Let's get Rick Malvin on this case. We'll work it together.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Phil and I have worked a lot of cases together. I won't say it's like brothers, but it's pretty close.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Rick was the best of the best. He was someone who could translate the crime scene, but he also understood what it really means to develop evidence to the courtroom. I went to the house with Detective Malvin. We walked through it. You could still feel the murder in the house.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I knew that this case was going to be difficult, but deep down, I felt that this was a solid case. It may take time, but it was going to be a solvable case.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

They approached this from the standpoint of we're going to start at ground zero. We weren't at the crime scene. We're going to go back and go through everything so that we are comfortable. Nothing was missed.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Nobody is perfect when they commit a murder. I may overlook something, but there is no such thing as the perfect murder.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

At this point, Evans and Malvin are worried about something else. The killer made it pretty clear he's not only one step ahead of the cops. But the murder spree isn't over.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Anyone working that case should have taken that letter personally. And I did. And then a second letter came in, taunting.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

I must confess. I have done it a second time.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I was gonna do everything I possibly could to find that person.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

The cops up Here Are a Lot Smarter Than yous.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

It really pulls. Puts an increased energy on Detective Malvin. And certainly I felt it. We had a victim's family here who was just gutted. They lost their mother and sister. And we had a killer, apparently who was traveling the country. At the very least, if he wasn't killing other people, he was perversely enjoying having killed the Goyenas.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

You don't just look at suspects in a murder case. You also look at the victims. By 2008, Detective Malbon and his partner are digging deeper into Angel's past. And they find the ties to Wicca. Remember, angel and her mom were interested and hung out at this Wiccan bookstore.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angelique's relationship with Wicca was more interest. And I think that kind of trickled down to mom as well, because mom got interested in that.

[Narrator]

Wicca became popular in America back in the 50s. You know, you can think of lunar rituals and secular worship. It is not black magic and Satanism. It's more defined as nature's religion where earth is a source of spiritual power.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Angel had become associated with a group that loosely operated out of a bookstore called called the Mystic Moon.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Wicked rituals often involve a special set of mystical tools, commonly including a wand, a pentacle, a chalice and a large knife called an athane, used only for symbolic purposes.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

To the police, that opened a Pandora's box of. Well, who did she meet there? January 2, 2008, there's a call to the North Police Department. There's a man that wants to talk to you on the Goyina case.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He considered himself a vampire. We met with him, we invited him down to the office and he said

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

he was part of that community where there were some people who were involved in vampirism. He also disturbingly implied to the detectives that he may know something about Angel's murder.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He produced a knife that he said that was used by someone else to commit the murders.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

So now the detectives had a knife in their possession.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The case is taking a pretty bizarre turn. More than six months after Angela and murder were stabbed to death, Detective Malvin is sitting across from a self described vampire. Someone who claims to draw pleasure from ingesting blood and someone who turns over an athame knife he says is the murder weapon.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

The knife was submitted to the lab. There was no DNA blood trace and the knife could not have made the injuries on the bodies. And so once we talked to him and knew that he was not close to the family, I didn't have a problem eliminating him.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

It's another costly detour, squandering time and resources. So Evans and Malvin take a harder look at someone who seemed to have an airtight alibi. Angel's fiance, David Hoshaw, he came to

[Detective Rick Malvin]

take his sons to a boy scout camp. And he had been away from his fiance for a while. He certainly could have left boy scout camp. He could get to the house without being noticed.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We looked into David Hoshaw's background. The more we looked, the more disturbing information came. He becomes stronger, not by evidence of this crime, but by information about his behavior in the past.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We had a 74 year old woman killed, a 35 year old woman killed. Somebody needs to tell their story. That's it. The house looks so different. Everything's changed, everything's new. And that's a good thing.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Detective Rick Malbin is a veteran homicide detective with 15 years under his belt. This case is different. Malvin begins an investigation that will span two years, four states, and a couple thousand miles.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I got here during the early morning hours. The initial investigators were here on scene when I arrived.

[Detective Walter Whiteside]

Rick Malvern was one of our senior homicide detectives. He was definitely one of the go to guys. He had a very good reputation.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Detective Malvin was just very focused. And it was like the bulldog about him that he's going to get something done, you know, he's going to do something.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

When I go to work a homicide, when I roll out, I pray that's for my mother. I pray that I don't get tunnel vision. And let me see through the lies.

[Narrator]

Fishing through all the lies, Detective Rick Malbon and his partner, they've been following dozens of leads. All of them are dead ends. The only real solid clue that they have at this point are these two letters. But who wrote those letters? And was it truly the killer?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I can't remember a case where the police department ever received legitimate letters like this in connection with a real homicide.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

Can you?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

No.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We explored the possibility of it being a serial killer. Letters were taken to the FBI lab and they determined that it wasn't a serial killer. So that narrowed down our search. And David Halshaw looked more like a suspect to me. There's no reason to write a letter like that other than to try to throw the police off.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Obviously, whoever wrote it put Norfolk in strange handwriting. That's not the same as the return address. Part of trying to look at everything is each person of interest. We want to know everything we can about them. My way of doing my job and Rick Malvin's way of doing his job is we're going to get every detail we know. We're talking about this guy David Hoshaw. Who is he?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

For Angel, David Hoshaw is the man she wants to grow old with. But in the months before they exchange wedding vows, it's clear she is having serious doubts.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I haven't heard from David except before work this morning. He says he misses me, and I hope he does because I miss him.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Hosha has a job doing electrical work for a Virginia company with U.S. navy contracts, detectives learn. He tells angel he's been placed, placed on a project in the Midwest. Most of the time he'll be living up there and commuting back to Norfolk. But you gotta ask, is that really why he's gone?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Angel's diary entries in the last weeks of her life. She was frustrated on one level because he didn't seem to be engaged and he didn't seem to be. His normal demeanor towards her, it just

[Narrator]

makes you feel ignored when you get

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

only letters than five minutes on a call. When you need way more to feel loved and appreciated.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

He worked for a naval contractor. He was supposedly building a ship. But why are you building a ship in Wisconsin or Michigan? How's didn't make sense. You would think it would be built in Norfolk, not the Midwest Great Lakes.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I've been filled with all sorts of doubts and worries, but I think the part of me is slowly learning to trust David and that he is not like the guys in my past that betrayed and hurt me. I hope this means my capacity to love is increasing as well.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

There were definitely red flags that David possibly was cheating or hiding something from angel just when she couldn't get ahold of him. And he's not where he's supposed to be.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

When the forensic investigators were going through the house, one of the things that was of interest was a computer.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We got the search warrant for the computer and once we got it to forensic, that's when we found out when he changed that password.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The forensic analysis of the computer revealed that on on June 24, 2007, David Hoshaw, as the administrator for the computer, changed the password to for Amanda.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Amanda. If David's marrying Angel in two months, who is Amanda?

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Amanda came into the picture when we realized David Hohshaw had changed the password on a computer.

[Narrator]

It's early 2007. Angel is buzzing planning for this wedding. Turns out David Hoshon, he actually goes back to the dating websites and he ends up connecting with and starts to date another woman.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

So while he's traveling for business to stay up there to work, he was actually cultivating another relationship in that area to Amanda to another woman. All the while, angel is preparing for a wedding in September.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

Angel was very trusting. But when someone hasn't necessarily given you initially a reason to doubt them, why should you?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

That password unlocks more than a computer. It also opens an exhaustive search to Detectives start digging into everything David Hoshaw said he was doing before, during and after the killings, starting with his airtight alibi. Was he really in boy scout camp the night of the murders?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We knew he was roughly 80 miles away at 11pm at night and he was there at 6 in the morning. That is not physically impossible to drive to Norfolk two hours, commit a brutal homicide and drive back. But it's unlikely behavior.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Detective Malbin knows the whole case is riding on the letters. Prove who sent them and they have their killer.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

When you're looking at individuals capable of committing a homicide, David Hoshaw does not jump off the pages. He doesn't look like he's going to be a threat to anybody. But sometimes people that present that way are actually the most most dangerous.

[Narrator]

Turns out David Hoshaw was more dangerous than anyone imagined.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

It's like a whole nightmare. I never thought in a million years I would be on.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

He came down the hall and grabbed my throat and started strangling me.

[Allison Ashcroft]

I just felt something just smack across the back of my head and I just blacked out.

[Officer John Schraft]

When I walked in the residence, I was, you know, slightly in shock of what I saw.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

Two people are no longer with us who should be, who are good people.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

What would possibly be a motive?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Could the murder somehow be tied to Angel's interest in the occult?

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Remember, angel and her mom were interested.

[Allison Ashcroft]

Whoever did this must be some kind of monster.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Extremely psychotic, taunting killer. We got two letters that we have a killer taking credit for the double homicide. I skipped town pretty quick. I move around a lot, so good luck catching me.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

But if you ever confronted him about anything, the switch would just flip in his brain.

[Allison Ashcroft]

I just felt something just smack across the back of my head and I just blacked out.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

It was just like I was throwing in an alligator pit and I needed to fight my way out of it.

[Allison Ashcroft]

I think truly there was something more sinister going on.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We've had several homicides in the city of Norfolk with multiple deaths. This case was unusual in the sense that it was a mother and daughter.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Angel and Vonda Gollena were killed so brutally right in their home. How could there be no evidence to go on?

[Detective Rick Malvin]

There was no signs of 4th century. There was no DNA or fingerprints.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The police investigation of everyone angel knew, including people from the Wika bookstore, has led nowhere. And the self proclaimed vampire who went to the police, it was a false lead.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angel was humble, she was kind.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

She was writing how excited she was to get married.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I was trying to catch a killer. I was gonna do everything I possibly could to find that person.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Where do they go from here? Angel's best friend thinks she knows it was David.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

I just had a feeling, remember?

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Early in their investigation, police reached out to Angel's fiance, David Hoshaw. At the time, he seemed to have a credible alibi.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

David talks to police and tells them he was about 80 miles away on a boy Scout trip.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

But it was some of what David said during this interview that piqued their interest.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

What was interesting was he never asked, why do you need to talk to me. If you got called by the homicide squad, your first question is, what is this about?

[Detective Rick Malvin]

When he was talking to the detectives, he tell them, check my e. Z pass. Well, you can leave the e. Z pass at the boy scout camp.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

When a person is being interviewed in a murder investigation and they're providing you a lot of information, it means they're totally innocent or they're somehow involved and they've gone to a lot of trouble to make it look like they're totally innocent.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

David hoshaw became like an onion in the case. The more you peeled him back, the more strange information came out.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

A disturbing picture of hoshaw's past begins to emerge.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We knew that there were at least six women that david hohshaw was involved in. And we investigated all six of them.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

David hohshaw had been married three times prior to becoming engaged to angel.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

I am naomi hoshaw. I was david's first wife. We were 16 and we met at busch gardens when we worked there.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

It's all the fun and splendor of old europe, but a lot closer.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

At first, neither one of us liked each other. You know, I looked at him like, oh, he's too preppy and his uniform's on too perfect. You know, I gave him a little bit of attention and he gave it back a million fold. I felt special. Of course, when he asked me to marry him, I definitely said yes because that's what I wanted.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

He then joined the united states air force and was transferred out to spokane, Washington area.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

And the good times were good, but what I remember are more of the bad times. He would be very lovey dovey when he wanted to be, but if you ever confronted him about anything, switch would just flip in his brain. I found out I was pregnant and he was like, no, you're not pregnant, you're not pregnant. And I was, I was on bed rest at the very end and I got up because I wanted something to drink. He came down the hall and grabbed my throat and started strangling me. My oldest son was just screaming and screaming and screaming and he just wouldn't stop. Finally, david let go and I went and picked up my oldest son and calmed him down. I was terrified and I didn't know what was going to happen next. And then there were some letters that

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

I found to my one true love.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

During his first marriage, David also started to groom and unlawfully touch a 12 year old friend of the family.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

I went in there in hopes to be alone with you. Your mom would not have known.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

I didn't know what was going on. I was naive. You're in your 20s and this person is still in elementary school.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

Love forever, David.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

You Knew she was 12. That's the part that I could never wrap my head around.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Naomi had complained to the United States Air Force about domestic abuse. The 12 year old girl and her parents cooperated with the United States Air Force. He pled guilty to both indies and as and assault on 12 year old United States Air Force chose not to criminally prosecute him in a court martial which could have sent him to prison and administratively discharged him from the Air Force with an other than honorable discharge.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife or Related Witness]

I filed for the divorce and he never fought me.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

After his discharge from the military, David follows his ex wife Naomi back to Virginia to stay close to his kids, where he begins online dating.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

One of the women that we talked to indicated he said all the right things and he whined and dined him.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

After Naomi, he got involved with his eventual second wife who he was married to for a short time.

[Allison Ashcroft]

And then there was me. My name is Allison Ashcroft. I am David's third wife. I met David in 2001 through an online dating website. He showered a lot of attention on me and that was not something that I was used to at that time. I was severely overweight and so that there was this person who found me attractive despite that was just mind blowing to me. And I thought, you know, I might want to hang on to this one.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We were concerned what we learned from Naomi and the domestic assault. We were trying to see if there's a continuity of violence with Hosha.

[Allison Ashcroft]

I had an injury at David's hands. I was having migraines and dizziness. David had asked if there was anything he could do to help and we had a massage roller. So he started rolling this thing back and forth across my neck. He started moving a little faster and he was lifting the roller up off my neck. And then eventually I just felt something just smack across the back of my head and I just blacked out. When I came to, he was standing on the side of the bed looking down at me saying, do you think we need to go to the hospital?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Hoshoff came up with some story that did not include any acknowledgement he had something to do with it.

[Allison Ashcroft]

I don't think anything was really said other than he may have said he was sorry and that the roller just slipped out of his hands. Now I realize, you know, I was young and naive then that I think truly there was something more sinister going on.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

It left that nagging Seed of doubt in her mind.

[Allison Ashcroft]

In 2005, he said, this marriage isn't working out. I can't do this anymore. I'll pack my stuff up in the morning, and I'll be gone, and we can get a divorce. I think if I had tried to work things out with him, if I had stayed, I might not be sitting here right now.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

As detectives digging to all of David Hosha's past relationships, they learn that his trail of lies and deceptions only continues to grow. And very soon, he would move on to a relationship with Angel.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

And that's when it got ugly.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Now that the authorities have learned about David Hosha's disturbing past, the question becomes, what exactly happened between David and Angel?

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

When Angelique Goiana meets her true love online, there's a lot he isn't telling her. Like he's been married three times.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

I have a huge heart of gold that I want to share with my partner.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

What he projected was all the type of things Angelica Goyna would want to hear or see in a dating profile.

[Angelique's Sibling]

I was happy that my. My sister found someone, but when I met him, I didn't really care for him.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

There was something about him I didn't like, you know, this force and energy. It wasn't good. But Angelique liked him, so I'm gonna like him too.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Within a few months, David Hoshaw is moving in with angel and Vonda.

[Angelique's Sibling]

When we found that out, we were up in arms about that, and he's a bum. He's gonna live in my mom's house or not? No, we didn't like that. But my mom wanted her to stay.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

Angel was hoping that they would live there with her mom and continue to take care of her.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Angel's diary entries, they start to change. It's not all hearts and flowers anymore.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

Why is he so secretive about his money? I know marriage is a matter of trust, but David is weird with money.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

There was concern that David was not the person he originally appeared to be.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angelique would tell me out of the clear blue that he'd have a look on his face like he was disgusted with her, and that would really bother her.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

David was wanting her to put Vonda in a managed care facility, and angel was vehemently against that.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

He's been grumpy and moody tonight. He was even arguing with Mom. I stood up for her, of course, but it put me in a strange place between mom, who I love, and David, who I love.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

David didn't seem to have jumped in on getting the wedding preparations together.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

He did nothing. He proposed. And that was it.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

She's bugging Hoshoff. Who do you want to invite? And he kept saying, yeah, yeah, I'll get them to you. And David Hoshaw is going back and forth to Michigan.

[Angelique's Sibling]

He wasn't around and I thought, that's strange for somebody who wanted to get buried.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

David said in a condescending tone of voice, don't question me where I am. Doesn't seem like he was feeling warm fuzzies for me now does it?

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Angelique called me and she was really upset and said that she'd had a bad dream, that she dreamed he was kissing someone else. And I tried to console her. You're getting cold feet or something like that. Now I kind of looking back at it, I'm like, oh, my gosh.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

In spite of all the red flags, even the day before she is killed, angel is still looking forward to the wedding.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

Friday, 77 days and counting. After work today, as I always do, I check my voicemail and guess who finally called. David. He'll be home sometime tomorrow and for that I am very glad.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

That is written just hours before she dies.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Initially, the family is going to the house and they're going through personal belongings

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

we gather and tried to find out what would possibly be a motive.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There were forensic investigators still working on the house, trying to make sure they didn't miss some forensic evidence.

[Angelique's Sibling]

There was nothing, nothing pointing to anybody. We didn't think it was going to be solved.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

A couple times Hoshaw showed up there, which they thought was strange.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He was allowed access to the house. He should not have been allowed in the house.

[Angelique's Sibling]

I think he could have got anything he wanted. You know, that could destroy the case and maybe he did.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

I just noticed. Why isn't he grieving? He doesn't even appear to be shocked

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

at the viewing at the funeral home. Tyer family shows up. Who doesn't show up? David Hoshaw. Angel's sisters and her brother are like, there's something up with David Hoshaw.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Not only is David Hoshaw a no show at his fiance's funeral, he makes another song stunning move. He packs up, leaves Norfolk and moves to Michigan to be with a new girlfriend. Remember as police were investigating Hosha, they discovered that shortly before the murder, he changed his computer password to for Amanda.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Marking.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Tell me your first name and how you you are connected to this Amanda

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

and I was engaged to David Hoesha.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

At Amanda's request, we are not using her last name and have altered her appearance.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

He told me that his ex, Angelique was murdered. He was Distraught. He was confused. He went to the police department and they're questioning him. And I asked him, I said, did you do it? And he said, no. He said he was cleared. So, you know, I believed him.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

When I found out that he had another woman, I went, oh, my gosh. Angela Extreme. It's like she was right.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I set up a meeting with the victim's family, and they were adamant that they knew it was David Hoshaw.

[Angelique's Sibling]

We all thought it was him.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We had to get him charged for fear he would do something else.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

David Hoshaw is now living with his girlfriend Amanda. And while police consider him a prime suspect, there's no physical evidence linking him to the murders.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The detectives in this case may feel like David Hosha is the killer, but they can't yet prove it. And hunches don't count in a courtroom.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We have circumstances, we have behavior that is strange, but we have to demonstrate there is no other person that could have committed the homicide.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We looked at everything that David Halshaw did before the homicide and after the homicide.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We got two letters that we have. A killer taking credit for the double homicide.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Yep.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

But we needed evidence that showed that Hosha was the only person that could have mailed the letters. This is the envelope of the first letter that was mailed on July 23rd from Cartis Collins processing station in Chicago. But you were able to nail it down to one specific distribution center that would have applied that postmark. We had to try to find something that would put him around Chicago. So we had to try to rebuild David Hoshaw's activities.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

If they can connect the dots of cell phone records and credit card receipts, they can use the paper trail that Hosha left and trap him.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We started following the cell phone records of David Hoeshaw.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There was a cell call that bounced off a tower within a few miles of where this letter would have had to have been mailed.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

That Was really key. And we were able to put him between 2.1 and 12.6 miles from that post office.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

So evidence places David in chicago, near the post office office on the same day the first letter was mailed. Can they connect him to the second letter? But this one was mailed nowhere near Chicago.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

August 15th, that letter is dropped in the mailbox in gaylord, michigan, which is a small community in the middle of Michigan, Middle of nowhere. David hoshaw's credit card purchases opened a window because his purchase history Was literally a roadmap. We knew that David hoshaw took his new girlfriend, Amanda, On a little celebratory road trip.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Tell me about that. Why did you take that trip?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

We went on a trip because I had a doctor's appointment. And we started off in our town, and we stopped at all these little different places.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

There were hotels. There was the zoo, ihop, movie theaters. We followed all of it.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Yeah, he's showing Amanda the good time. You know, he's trying to impress her. August 13th and 14th, he was consistently making purchases, Moving southward on the interstate to the point where he would go through Gaylord on August 15th. Within a few hour time frame, he made purchases north of gaylord and then south of gaylord. There's a single highway running through it. What are the odds it's gonna be somebody else who mailed that letter?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So never saw him stepping away to go to the post office or mail anything?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

No, nothing unusual. I mean, I'm usually the one that's gone some, you know, stepping out somewhere.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Now they've got a string of receipts and cell phone records that all connect David to the letters.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The problem with that is that doesn't go into court and prove anything.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

Could the answer be witnesses? But it is always a lot more powerful when you have an eyewitness that carries a lot more weight in front of a jury. So detective malvin and his partner go on a road trip, Talking to store owners and vendors and trying to get them to come into court.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We ended up with 20, 23 to 25 different people subpoenaed in this case.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

They present their case to the grand jury and get an indictment and an arrest warrant for David hoshaw.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

David hoshaw had set up a separate life. He was moving on. We knew Amanda had now changed her life to live with David hoshaw and take him into her home.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

David and amanda have a child, and Amanda's due with their second. But things seem to be headed downhill. David's changed.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

He was acting weird. I'd find him in random Places. I'm like, what are you doing? Why are you sitting here? He never had an answer.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

We wanted David Hoshon not to be prepared for what was happening. And we wanted to create an impact upon.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So 2009, you're pregnant with your second child and you hear a knock on the door.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I didn't get no knock on the door.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So tell me about what happened.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

It was 4am and they rush in. One officer pushes me to the side. I'm asking what's going on?

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So they're running and just grabbing David

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

and yeah, they threw him on the ground. I have a baby in the other room. I'm just asking what's going on? Well, he's under arrest.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

David Halshaw stepped out. He was handcuffed and escorted out of the house.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

He finally told me that he murdered two people. His ex. But really to find out it was his fiance. It wasn't his ex fiance. It was just his fiance.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

What did you say?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I was stunned because thought he was cleared.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He was transported to a state police barracks.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

That was the first chance that Detective Malvin had to talk to David Hoshaw.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

You ever been a visor Barack before?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Yes, I have.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I didn't even get time to even process anything. I just. It's like I. I was thrown in an alligator pit and I needed to fight my way out of it.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Amanda has no idea that she's about to break the case.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

Did you do.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Did you.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I didn't have. Have a confession from David Hoshaw. I had all this other evidence. The only way he could say something is if tactically and psychologically we got under his skin.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Do you understand that? Any statement you made, maybe he was evidence.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

History of the court of law.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

In other words, there's no secrets.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

We're here to talk to you about the deaths of Anthony Father. When we walked into that interview room, I expected to get a confession. I was so pumped. Do you recall mailing a letter to North?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

No, I don't. Show me that.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

You found et cetera. That's not book. And the person that mailed that letter took credit for the deaths of Angelique and Bon.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Okay.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I think he was unnerved, but trying not to show it. And he's sort of like processing the situation, talking in a normal turn of voice.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

You within 2.1 miles of the post office that processed that.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

L. Okay, you think Hysterical incident, but like I said, I don't. Being in there on July 23rd.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Okay, but what.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

That would be one hell of a

[Detective Rick Malvin]

hell of a coincidence, right? I Wanted David to know that we knew almost better than him what he had done after the homicide. Let me give you a little history on your trip. You stayed at the Comfort Inn, room 333. You in IHA. We had a potato pancake breakfast.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

There is a psychological tactical game that goes on in the room.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

And it's hard. I know it's hard talking about it the first time, but I guarantee you, once you get it off your chest, you're gonna feel a lot better. I know your heart is burning right now, man. It got to a point where I told him that he wasn't going home. That he was going to coming back to normal, offer to stand trial for killing Angelique and Vonda. And then he broke my heart.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I need to speak to an attorney. I need to speak to an attorney. Okay.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He said, I need to talk to an attorney. He knocked me down. I didn't get anything from him. He lawyered up. And I knew he wanted to talk to Amanda. And Amanda had asked to talk to him.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I asked if I could speak with David to find out what's going on. They told me, we'll get him ready. So I waited.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

I'm gonna let a man run in seminar. She wants to. You want to see her?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

It was one of those things where sometimes, like it's the drop of water in a still pool. You allow the drop to fall, and then it will take its own course.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

What is going on, Dude? Damn. Arrested from her? Did you do it? Please be honest. Did you? I love you. I worry with all my heart.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

Do you hurt these people?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

We have kids, honey. I know we do. I've asked for an attorney. I don't want to say anything else in front of the police officer.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So what did detectives say to you about talking to David during the interrogation?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

That I would have a private conversation in a room. And I could talk to him. And it would be just me and him.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

We'll give you guys this. Thank you.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Detective Malbin advised David Hoshaw of his legal rights. This was in an interview room in which there was a camera that was discreetly placed.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

So did you know it was going to be recorded?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

No, I never knew that. Maybe I just. I'm just not the smartest cookie in the bunch. But I thought it was a surprise.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He had a right to remain silent. He didn't have to talk to Amanda, especially about the case. He didn't have to answer her.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I got.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

I got creepy.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Looking at you on the interrogation tape, it's almost as if you seem like you're in physical pain.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I was sick to know that my baby's daddy did this. I mean, come on. I was distraught. I thought maybe I was having a nightmare.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I don't know if I could ever again trust her. I didn't. I. I didn't go down there with that in my mind. I went down there to try and break up and things happen.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I was so confused. It doesn't make sense to me. Why were you there at that time? If you were gonna break up with her, why didn't you do it? During the day,

[Detective Rick Malvin]

Amanda started going off. She picked up the letter. They have this letter.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

And that was stupid. I was trying to get him off my back.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He eventually told her he mailed a letter to get us off the tail. So at that point I knew I had the right person.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

He took ownership of being the writer of the letters in this exchange with Amanda. And he said that, yeah, I mailed them to get them off my tracks.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I never understood how he had time to write these letters. So he must have wrote them before and had them ready to go.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

If he had never mailed the letters, there's a very good chance the evidence would never have developed to charge him.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Did you make me? No, I didn't do.

[Detective Rick Malvin]

He said enough to Amanda to strengthen my case. I couldn't wait to come out and call Phil. It was a great feeling.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

He acknowledged that he went to the house to break up with her. But then things got out of hand. He admits to her sending the letters. A confession really is a admission of certain facts.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Why couldn't you just walk away? That's what I tried to do.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I was pregnant at the time. And I just found out that my man is guilty of killing two. Not one, but two people.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I'm sorry I hurt you. That's correct. That's hurting you the most is the pain I'm causing on you and our family.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

All I could think of is why I wanted to get up and slap him this smirky face. But I didn't. Cuz it wasn't worth it.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I want you right. And we're now on steel. I love you. I love you.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

He lies. All he does is lie. I feel there's more truth to the story. And I figured the only way I could get the truth is through the courts.

[Narrator]

The man accused of killing a Norfolk woman and and her mother now faces a capital murder charge. In Norfolk yesterday, a grand jury indicted David Wayne Hoshung.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

The problem with the case is the first thing a defense attorney is going to do is stand up in court and say, you do not have one piece of evidence that demonstrates my client committed the crime.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

You want people to be held accountable for their actions. Two people are no longer with us who should be.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

His past is horrific. He preys on those that are insecure and and maybe people he perceives as being weak.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

He was a predator.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

David Hoshaw in jail, is waiting for his murder trial to start. The prosecution seems to feel pretty good about this. They have a very unsympathetic guy to put in front of this jury.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

It was clear he went to great ends to try to cover his tracks. And we knew that, that his taunting in the letters, the boasting would not play well to a jury.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

But District Attorney Evans has a problem. The sort of evidence he's going to give to those 12 people.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Nobody said he did it. Nobody said he confessed to me he did it. Nobody forensically said it was his thumbprint. It was his DNA. To be blunt, what we did was we built up a case of circumstantial evidence, layering one piece of evidence information on top of another.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

This is not where a prosecutor wants to be. Juries like to have that smoking gun that Forensic proof, But that's not the hand that he's been dealt. At the same time, the defense is doing their job, Trying to exclude evidence the prosecutor does have, like angel's diary entries.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

David said in a condescending tone of voice, don't question me where I am.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

They want to throw out the interrogation video.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

I got creepy, but it doesn't work. The judge admits it all. The diary, the interrogation. The jury's gonna see all of it.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

Case was set to be tried for a month. We had about 140 witnesses subpoenaed. We were ready to go. We literally had travel arrangements for, I think, half of the vendors in Michigan. Shop owners, clerks at hotels. I don't think anybody could have got food up and down the interstate in the middle of michigan, because they were all coming to norfolk, Virginia, for trial. We produced a mannequin, and we asked the medical examiner to use knitting needles, and we intended to use the trial to demonstrate all of the wounds. It not only shows just the incredible sheer number of stab wounds in this area, but it does clearly show that angel sustained defensive wounds.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

A demonstration like that is so effective with the jury, it shows the level of violence of what they call overkill.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The family has waited three years to hear David hoshaw on the stand, to see all the proof.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

A lot of emotion.

[Officer John Schraft]

You.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

You want that justice?

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The death penalty is on the table. And facing all of that, Hoshaw surprises them all.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

David hoshaw pleaded guilty to capital murder and first degree murder. He was originally scheduled for a jury trial next week.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

A guilty plea, no trial, and suddenly it's over.

[Narrator]

Detective Rick malbon is excited. He finally got his guy. He pled guilty. He's getting ready to call Amanda and deliver what he thinks is great news. But he was not expecting this reaction.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I was shocked. I couldn't even handle it. I said things to write Rick that maybe I shouldn't have said. But he deserved to go to trial. He deserved to have the whole laundry, all the truth out to set her family free, to give that family the truth about everything.

[Narrator]

Accepting a plea agreement for two life sentences, first degree murder, David had to stand before the goianas, the victim's loved ones, and he had to admit to killing angel and vonda.

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

He made a very long, very bizarre statement. He then went on to lecture every participant in the court process.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

I want to see. Shame on you, detective malbin, for his actions. The lord God almighty does not like people to be full of pride of themselves. I pray that you lose that pride before it's too Late.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

Every word that came out of David's mouth in court just made me angry. Just to see him, to see words coming from his mouth.

[David Hoshaw's Ex-Wife Naomi]

Today, for the sake of my family, I'm pleading guilty to this horrific crime. Putting their needs and their desires ahead of my own.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

He said he pleaded guilty for his family.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

No.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Well, do you think that was for you and your children?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I think he lied. He didn't take this deal for his family because he knew I wanted him to go to trial. He murdered him. He doesn't deserve to be alive. I'm sorry. Might be harsh, but it's the truth.

[Angelique's Sibling]

Two life sentences, I think is what he got. He is ineligible for parole. He's gonna rot there in jail. Would you forgive somebody that killed your mom and sister?

[Lead Investigator / Detective]

I won't.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The family's most basic question is never answered in court. And that is, why did he do it?

[Narrator]

So this is really the first time you're talking about Vonda and Angelique?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Well, I don't mind talking about it.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

And he does talk about it in a prison interview.

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

After all these years, I still think about her. I have a tattoo of two butterflies. It's just a reminder. It's always there. It's something I can see every day

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

and

[Angelique's Friend or Family Member]

know that she's there, even if she's not.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Remember, to avoid the death, David Hoshaw had to admit that he killed Vonda and Angel. But he didn't have to say why, and he hasn't until now.

[Narrator]

David Hoshaw agreed to interview with me over the phone, since he is in a high security prison facility. David tells me that night he went to Angel's house to simply break up with her. At one in the morning? How were you thinking the night would have played out?

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I would tell her there was someone else, that things were over, and I would just go back to camp. But it didn't quite work out that way.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

David claims that when he told angel it was over, there were tears and raised voices.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

Her emotions got my emotions going. And of course, her hurt turned to anger. Just trying to escalate it. Yeah, it was like an impulse. And when I started, it just kept going. I just couldn't stop. You have one minute remaining.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

And his second victim. He says Vonda tried to stop him.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend)]

I know that I can't change what has happened. And so I've chosen to kind of that not think about it.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

I mean, I thought, wow, you know, I got so lucky. He made himself out to be a guy that was a terrific man. He's a boy Scout engineer I mean, he takes care of his sons. I mean, he's there for them when they need it.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

In a way, David Hosha left two kinds of victims. The ones he killed and the ones he left behind.

[Allison Ashcroft]

There are a lot of times when I think, it should have been me. It should have been me, and it wasn't.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

Why?

[Allison Ashcroft]

That monster. I was married to that monster.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

The ripple effect of grief that families experience and loved ones experience in cases like this, it goes through generations.

[Amanda (David Hoshaw's girlfriend, interviewee)]

He lied and he. You know, him being in a relationship with Angelique. So he, like, got me into the circle, and then he got rid of her. Murdered her. Because basically, of me. I'm feeling horrible for them. I hate. You know, I'm hating him. It's like a lot of hate. So what do you do with.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

The coroner? Noted something in their report. The only thing Angel Goyena was wearing when she died was a medallion.

[Angelique Goyena (via diary or voiceover)]

I have dreamed of a knight in shining armor. Don't laugh. But I've kept a medallion of gold and silver of a knight upon a steed for the day I meet him.

[Legal Expert / Analyst]

I had an old mentor who told me, you can always see the soul of your victim reflected in the eyes of those who love them.

[Angelique's Sibling]

And on the 4th of July, it's kind of hard day to remember, you know, because that's the weekend this all happened.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

Her brother remembers a moment, long after the murders when he went by the house.

[Angelique's Sibling]

This kid would laugh at me. But I saw my sister, my mom and my sister standing there, looking. And they were there and they were smiling. And I looked back and they were gone. But I know I saw them. I remember that.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

I think I am at peace. I know I am at peace. It's taken me years to get to this place. I just think of them very fondly. My mom's incredible sense of humor. And angel just. Gosh. Angelique was a gift to our family.

[Narrator / Case Commentator]

What are you left with when someone dies? Photographs. Memories for the Goyenas. Angel's poems.

[Family Member (possibly Angelique's sibling)]

The night with its endless realm of possibilities. What could last forever? Stars. Scattered diamonds of the night. The stars watch and somewhat guide choices and outcomes. But in the end, the stars watch us. That's my girl. That's my girl.
