00:00Kimberly was a brilliant scientist.
00:04It goes into your body, and goes through your body.
00:08A searching soul that was interested in the healing of people's bodies.
00:12She wanted to build a life and a profession
00:16built on helping to heal people naturally.
00:19Kimberly wanted power, but the manner in which she pursued it was unhealthy.
00:25When you're dealing with somebody who continually changes the names of their
00:28businesses,
00:29changes their very own name, you're dealing with somebody operating outside
00:33of the law.
00:33Her desire for power and control drove her
00:37to extremes.
00:39I will do whatever has to be done to survive.
00:59I will do whatever has to be done to survive.
01:29Let me tell you a little bit about me.
01:32I was tormented a lot as a child. It's taken me
01:35my entire life to get rid of this anger.
01:39I am a strong person. I have to be to survive.
01:43What I need you to do is tell me straight up what you want done.
01:47Okay.
01:48You can whisper it in my ear.
01:52All I know is that there are three people out to get me
01:55and it's a survivor contest.
01:57I was strong enough to tell you that I will do whatever has to be done to survive.
02:17Back then, and even now, California's a hotbed of alternative medicine.
02:22Most people with a medical condition
02:25look for alternative health and are searching to solve
02:29and heal themselves.
02:32When I met Kim Bailey, it was a kinship. I thought she was wonderful.
02:36Her medical condition was she would get freezing cold. Her body would get freezing
02:41cold
02:41towards the nighttime. And most of the people who are suffering from a
02:45condition like she was,
02:46they want to help other people suffering from the condition. They have empathy for
02:50them.
02:50So she did want to help a lot of other people.
02:56Kimberly impressed me from the beginning by her desire to explore
03:00and advance the work of alternative technology.
03:03While Kimberly was embarking on this journey for natural healing,
03:07she runs into a medical device.
03:10It's simply known as the black box.
03:14It helped the body to heal itself.
03:18You would hold steel cylinders.
03:21You tuned in the frequency that was needed for that specific disease.
03:25And you name an ailment, it would take care of it.
03:31When Kimberly came across this theory of healing,
03:34she bought into it. And she told herself,
03:37I can make my own and build it better.
03:40Kimberly Bailey was aiming for selling millions
03:44of machines. One, as a protest against
03:47traditional medicine. And two,
03:51to make a lot of money.
03:53At the back, push the paddle controller.
03:57She makes infomercials featuring herself using her black box.
04:01It goes into your body and goes through your body.
04:04Kimberly was a brilliant scientist. I was very confident that I was working with a
04:08very
04:09reliable, very intelligent,
04:13and searching soul that was interested in the healing of people's bodies.
04:18Kimberly Bailey is in her 50s. She's glamorous.
04:23She's a pioneer in alternative medicine.
04:27She's breaking through that glass ceiling of male-dominated health care.
04:32She's determined to take her business to brand
04:36new heights. By the mid-90s,
04:39Kimberly's ambition had turned to reality.
04:43She's making $100,000 a month.
04:46She's a millionaire a couple of times over.
04:49Now she's got money and she runs
04:52an empire. And with that comes a great
04:56amount of power.
05:00Kimberly Bailey owned a ranch in Fallbrook, California.
05:04It was a 33-acre avocado ranch.
05:08She had all of her computers there, her office was there,
05:11and, um, lovely place. Business was conducted basically by mail
05:16and by word of mouth. As her business was predominantly mail order,
05:21it allowed her to remain quite private, and the ranch became her sanctuary.
05:26Kimberly became a good friend, a trusted friend.
05:31But when it came to her private life,
05:35I knew hardly anything about her.
05:39She would keep quiet about that.
05:46For someone not to talk about their background,
05:49and not to talk about growing up, that was very unusual.
05:54There was something in her background that she did not want to talk about.
06:04Kimberly demanded full control of the workplace,
06:08full control of the employee, full control of everything.
06:13A friend of mine went to work for her.
06:19Kimberly was a workaholic of the worst order,
06:22and she felt everybody should work exactly as she worked.
06:26After six months, it was almost like a different man.
06:30He was angry, he was burned out,
06:33and he just left in disgust.
06:36I was shocked.
06:39I never saw the side of Kimberly before.
06:43What was driving her? What I would hope was the fact that she wanted to help the people.
06:48But the manner in which she pursued it was unhealthy in how she was doing it.
06:58Kimberly Bailey is in the throes of her successful business.
07:04Now that she has built herself up from nothing,
07:06she's very determined to hold on to what she's built.
07:10And a ruthlessness begins to emerge,
07:15as well as paranoia.
07:19She suspects that her employees might be stealing from her.
07:27There wasn't much trust there.
07:31That's why she hired Richard Post
07:33to just at least collect the information and find out who's doing what.
07:40My dad was a private investigator.
07:44He was really good at his job.
07:46He always was being praised by those that he worked with.
07:52When Kimberly met my father and hired him,
07:54the first work order there was to find out who was stealing from her.
07:59Kimberly's suspicions of theft became larger and larger over time.
08:06I'm not a psychologist, but that paranoia ran through her constantly.
08:14This, I believe, led to my father being hired as a component
08:19to be able to kind of look after parts of her business.
08:22It really did start to filter heavily into my father's personal life.
08:27Kimberly would call pretty much every day,
08:30trying to find out different updates on certain items.
08:34Findings were somewhat inconclusive.
08:37At the age of 16, I was living with my father.
08:41It was just the two of us.
08:47She saw my father as a very important person to her.
08:51She sometimes would come over to our house, sit down and have dinner.
08:56In Kimberly's mind, anybody that she paid,
08:59I felt like she had some sense of control with.
09:04If I'm paying you, then I should be able to have your time whenever I want it.
09:09She didn't really care about others' feelings,
09:11didn't care about other people's time or dedications to their family
09:14or, you know, anything that they had going on in their life other than work.
09:19Nothing was getting in between my father and Kimberly.
09:22She wanted him all to herself.
09:41I received a call at our home. It was my dad's office.
09:44My father had gone down to Mexico with Kimberly.
09:48They weren't able to get in touch with him.
09:51We all tried calling Kimberly. We could not get through.
09:55I obviously was concerned.
09:58What's going on? Where is my dad?
10:06I went down to the office to listen to an audio recording
10:09that was left on my father's voicemail machine.
10:13At 11 o'clock the night prior,
10:16Hey, it's Richard.
10:19Don't worry. I'm okay.
10:22I'm in Mexico.
10:25But I'll be back in a few days.
10:31The voice definitely was my father's,
10:34but the way that my father was speaking was of a nature
10:37that my dad would never speak.
10:41I feel like my father was trying to leave the house.
10:44I feel like my father was trying to leave clues
10:48that things were not okay.
10:58The next day, we were able to actually get in touch
11:01with Kimberly Bailey.
11:04She offered that we actually meet in person.
11:07John Krueger was a part of that sit-down.
11:10He worked alongside my father.
11:15She shows up.
11:18She has tinted hair color that was not her natural hair color.
11:24In the period of time that I knew Kimberly,
11:26she had never dyed her hair, so it was just really odd.
11:29Sitting there with Kimberly, she's stating that they just,
11:33they became separated in Mexico somehow,
11:36almost like he was a set of keys, like that she had lost him.
11:41The meeting itself really did not do anything
11:44to satiate any of my concerns, questions.
11:51It just further impacted my belief
11:54that I knew that she had something to do with it.
11:59We decided to post a missing persons report
12:02with the San Diego Police Department.
12:05They stated, because of the nature of my father's work,
12:08that it would be very fitting for him to disappear
12:11or be on a stakeout,
12:13where he didn't want his whereabouts to be known.
12:19At this point, we don't know where he is.
12:22We don't know where he is.
12:26At this point, we don't have any clear answer
12:30or picture of what has occurred with my father,
12:34how he disappeared, if he's alive, if he's dead.
12:37In my heart, I want to believe that he's still with us,
12:42but...
12:49Ahem.
12:52F***.
13:09We became aware that a local San Diego attorney
13:12had information on the kidnapping and murder
13:15of a U.S. citizen in Mexico.
13:19However, a client would not divulge information
13:22on the identity or location
13:24until such time as he or she received an immunity deal.
13:28Talks broke down,
13:29and there was no subsequent immunity deal offered.
13:33You want to find out,
13:34is there a record of that missing person somewhere else?
13:37The next logical step is,
13:38we go to the San Diego Police Department
13:40and see what they have in their files.
13:43We sit down, go through them,
13:45looking for anything that matches or connects
13:47with the information that we do have.
13:49A person who's missing,
13:50a person who has connections with Mexico.
13:52The list shortens very quickly to one name,
13:55Richard Post.
14:00One of the persons we were most interested in talking to
14:03was Post's associate, John Krueger.
14:07Krueger seemed very uncomfortable
14:10to have the FBI at his door.
14:14He tells the agents that he needs to speak to his attorney
14:18before he can speak to them.
14:20He dials a number, hands the phones to the agents,
14:23and they cannot believe who they're speaking to.
14:26It's the exact same attorney
14:27who had approached us with the immunity deal.
14:31This is big.
14:36Here's what we know.
14:37Richard Post is our person who is missing.
14:40We also know that John Krueger
14:42is the person who has information
14:44on why he's missing and what happened to him.
14:47John refuses to speak to agents further,
14:51and you have to wonder, what's he hiding?
14:54What does he know?
14:57We obtained a search warrant for his cell phone.
15:00It was important for us to learn who he was talking to
15:03in the days leading up to
15:05and immediately after Post's disappearance.
15:08One name kept popping up again and again.
15:12It was...
15:15Kimberly Bailey.
15:21Kimberly Bailey is Richard Post's boss.
15:25Why is she and John Krueger talking to each other so often
15:31following the disappearance of Richard Post?
15:38The next logical step in the investigation
15:40was to find out more about Kimberly Bailey.
15:43It turns out we weren't the only ones
15:45that were interested in her.
15:47The Federal Trade Commission had an ongoing investigation
15:50concerning her running a potentially fraudulent business
15:53selling black boxes that she alleged
15:56would cure everything from cancer to AIDS.
16:00The way that Kimberly was able to successfully market
16:04these little miracle black boxes
16:06was purely by the testimonials of people
16:09who had bought them, used them,
16:11and swore by their ability to kill their pain.
16:19It is against the law to sell devices for healing
16:23when there is absolutely no medical basis to those claims.
16:27That's called fraud.
16:31Bailey had essentially been running the same business
16:33under multiple names, Biosolutions, Astral Pulse.
16:37Again, not a normal practice for most people
16:41in most legitimate businesses.
16:43It also shows that she is operating
16:46under a number of other aliases,
16:49Janet Fleming, Kim Davis.
16:55Having three different names is not normal for most people.
16:59You only do that when you're running away from something.
17:02We now know we're dealing with somebody
17:04who has absolutely no qualms about cheating people out of money
17:07when they're at their lowest point in life.
17:10So the question for us then is,
17:12is this someone who is also capable of murder?
17:22In 1997, Kimberly Bailey had contacted Richard Post
17:26because she believed that one or more of her employees
17:29were attempting to steal from her.
17:31Apparently when you run a business where you're scamming people,
17:33you start to feel that everybody's trying to scam you too.
17:38We wanted to develop additional information on her without spooking her.
17:41So the next step was to conduct a covert surveillance of her residence.
17:48Kimberly liked to have people staying with her on her huge ranch.
17:52So she would invite people often,
17:54and they tended to be people who shared that same interest
17:58in holistic healing and alternative medicine theories.
18:03Late summer, 1999,
18:06I moved into Kimberly Bailey's ranch with my wife, Svetlana.
18:14One day, Lana and I are driving out of the ranch.
18:20And the FBI pops out of the bushes,
18:24flashing their badge,
18:26and says, Kimberly, Kimberly,
18:28because Svetlana, with her blonde hair and thin body,
18:32looks similar to Kim Bailey.
18:35Kimberly was away in Texas,
18:37so we looked at each other wide-eyed,
18:40and we go, no, that's not Kim Bailey.
18:42She goes, well, we're investigating the Rick Post case,
18:45and we'd like to talk to you.
18:48Bruce tells agents that Kimberly Bailey is paranoid.
18:52She thinks satellites are spying on her.
18:55She rarely talks on the phone.
18:57She's worried that people are out to get her.
19:00This is a red flag to the agents.
19:04Kimberly Bailey was quite fearful of the FDA raiding her,
19:08busting her, fining her.
19:10They would confiscate all her machines.
19:12They could take her to trial and put her in jail
19:15for selling an unapproved medical device.
19:18So to keep from being noticed
19:20and escape a retribution of the FDA and the IRS,
19:23she would always change the name of her machine, rebrand it,
19:27and she had different names that she would go by,
19:29Janet Fleming, and different variations.
19:36Bruce then introduced us to his wife, Svetlana Olga Rodnikova.
19:42We were stunned.
19:47This is a name that any agent who's joined the FBI
19:51since the late 1980s will know by heart.
19:55It's a class at the Academy.
19:57Svetlana was involved in the first FBI case
20:02involving the prosecution of an FBI agent for espionage.
20:08She had been involved with an FBI agent and seduced him
20:12and got him to give her classified information
20:16with the intent of her handing it over to her Soviet handlers.
20:20Our reaction was, you've got to be effing kidding me.
20:24Svetlana should not have been in the United States.
20:26She had self-deported after she had served her prison term
20:29on the espionage case.
20:33Svetlana says, if I talk to you,
20:36do you give me your word of honor
20:39that you won't arrest me for parole violation
20:41because I'm not supposed to be here, I'm supposed to be in Mexico?
20:44And they go, we don't care about parole.
20:46We're investigating a murder case.
20:48We couldn't care less, and we give you our word of honor
20:51that we will not arrest you for parole violation.
20:55From the very first moment,
20:57Svetlana agreed to cooperate with us 100%.
21:00We couldn't believe what she was about to tell us.
21:04It turned out Kimberly felt very comfortable
21:07in telling everything to Svetlana.
21:09Kimberly had confided that she had paid $60,000
21:13to have her ex-boyfriend kidnapped, tortured, and murdered.
21:18And that ex-boyfriend is none other than Richard Post.
21:26Over time, they did develop a romantic relationship.
21:34Kimberly was a woman who loved control.
21:36We saw it in her business.
21:38It makes perfect sense that she would also want to be
21:42the person in charge when it came to romance.
21:45The relationship didn't seem to last very long.
21:49I would maybe give it two months tops.
21:53He's further and further out of her grasp.
21:55This isn't just a scorned lover.
21:57This is someone who wants revenge.
22:03It is interesting that Kimberly felt comfortable enough
22:06with Svetlana to tell her that she had, in fact, killed someone.
22:09But there probably was underlying motives for that.
22:12Part of it could be a domination and power move,
22:14letting her know that I am a person to be reckoned with.
22:19Maybe Kimberly Bailey, you know, wanted to be like her
22:23or aspired to live that kind of exciting life.
22:27She probably thought that Svetlana wasn't going to rat her out
22:30for anything, that, you know, she had done her time.
22:33She had done bad things.
22:35So she sure as heck not going to rat out her buddy Kimberly.
22:39Finding Svetlana and have her willing to cooperate with us
22:42was kind of a good news, bad news situation.
22:47The problem is, she's got a history of spying.
22:51This makes anything that she says next to impossible
22:55to have it stand on its own.
22:59Having this confession from the Russian spy was not enough.
23:03We had to have it directly from the horse's mouth.
23:05Svetlana and Bruce contacted Kimberly and told her
23:08that she needed to return as soon as possible.
23:11A large business deal was in the making
23:13and she needed to be present right away.
23:17The ruse was that she has a $400,000 machine sale
23:20and we have a buyer.
23:22That was the ruse to get her to come back.
23:24The trap is set.
23:26But Kimberly has spent a decade building this empire
23:29and she's not going to give up.
23:33Now we haven't seen her for three weeks, maybe four.
23:39So we picked her up and she was now suspicious of us.
23:45The car that they put Kimberly in was wired for sound.
23:48An FBI vehicle was following her.
23:50It was an FBI vehicle.
23:52It was an FBI vehicle.
23:54It was an FBI vehicle.
23:56It was an FBI vehicle.
23:58It was an FBI vehicle.
24:00An FBI vehicle was following behind.
24:08What the feds really need is to hear Kimberly say,
24:13confess, admit that she had Richard Post
24:17kidnapped and murdered.
24:20What happened?
24:22I can't...
24:24I don't even remember.
24:26So we're driving and she's not forthcoming
24:29on telling the story.
24:32She's keeping her mouth shut.
24:35I want to go over John's involvement with you
24:37and how he set this whole thing up.
24:41John Kruger worked for Rick.
24:44He had planned to continue what Post was doing.
24:47He planned to just step in his shoes.
24:50Little by little, Kimberly starts opening up.
24:54What we learned was that John Kruger
24:56whispered in her ear,
24:58you know, Rick Post is stealing from you.
25:01Rick Post is ripping you off.
25:03Rick Post is not going to marry you.
25:05Rick Post is going to marry this other woman.
25:09This betrayal,
25:11it just plays into the whole thing about
25:13losing control of her life
25:15and everything she had built.
25:18This pushed her over the edge.
25:20He introduced you to,
25:22what's his name, Humberto?
25:25Yeah, John introduced me.
25:32In mid-August 1998,
25:34Kruger introduces Bailey
25:37to a Mexican named Humberto Uribe.
25:41They come to an agreement where Uribe
25:44will kidnap Richard Post for $40,000.
25:47She's treating this like a normal business transaction,
25:51like selling one of her black boxes.
25:54A plan is hatched between the three conspirators
25:56to lure Richard to Mexico
25:59for a purported business trip.
26:03Okay, you drive to Mexico, Tijuana.
26:09We went to the pharmacy.
26:11Two kids rushed up.
26:13The next thing I know, he was in the van,
26:15and they were leaving.
26:17There's not a good ending to that scenario.
26:19It just doesn't end well, ever.
26:29Richard was taken to an undisclosed safe house.
26:33He was essentially tied down to a chair, duct-taped.
26:38He was taken to the hospital.
26:40He was essentially tied down to a chair, duct-taped.
26:44That night, Kimberly, Kruger, and Uribe
26:48came up with a plan to explain
26:51Richard's sudden disappearance.
26:54They give him some words to say,
26:57and he is to recite these words
27:00in a voicemail message.
27:02Hey, it's Richard.
27:04Hey, I'm in Mexico on a business trip.
27:06Don't worry about me. Everything's fine.
27:09He has to do it over and over and over again
27:12until the kidnappers think it sounds normal.
27:17Kimberly gave graphic details to Svetlana
27:21about how Richard was tortured.
27:24Umberto slapped his face,
27:26and I thought his head was gonna fall off.
27:29He took some pliers
27:33and pinched his fingernails.
27:36Did you scream when he did that?
27:39Yeah.
27:42Kimberly has reasserted control.
27:45She's the one in charge now.
27:47Rick doesn't have a say in this anymore.
27:53He says, I admit that I've slept with other women,
27:56but he denied stealing from me.
27:59My father would never steal a dime.
28:02He wouldn't have ever stolen any money.
28:11He was beaten repeatedly, constantly questioned,
28:14but his story never wavered.
28:16On day five, Arriba approaches Bailey
28:19and tells her, we have a problem.
28:24Umberto said, he's already seen our faces.
28:27We have to kill him.
28:29And I said, do what you have to do.
28:44She's clearly identified herself as the principal conspirator.
28:48She's the one that's in charge of this operation
28:51and is calling the shots.
28:55They're looking at me through a microscope.
28:57Anything could set this off and I could go to jail.
29:02Now I'm seeing that when I did one thing,
29:05all of the things that I had built through my entire life were lost.
29:09And now if I have three other people killed,
29:13I know that you would have done this against your own enemies
29:16if you had wanted to.
29:18It's a very, very difficult thing to do.
29:22Kimberly tells Svetlana.
29:24Kimberly tells Svetlana.
29:26She fears there are people that may turn on her
29:29and she wants them eliminated.
29:31So again, she asks Svetlana,
29:34do you know anybody from your days as a Russian spy
29:38that can help me with this?
29:41I could call them now and see if he could come around and meet you.
29:46I would have to ask him if there's any way it could be an accident.
29:55Her paranoia is increasing
29:57and the only answer for her seems to be more blood.
30:01She's already proven that she's perfectly capable of having someone killed,
30:05so if action isn't taken,
30:08there's a lot more people that could be hurt.
30:13At this point in the investigation,
30:15we have a full-blown confession essentially on tape from Kimberly Bailey.
30:19However, we don't have a body.
30:21However, we don't have a body.
30:23To make sure we have a successful prosecution,
30:26we need to make sure that we've got every possible angle covered
30:30so the investigation continues.
30:34I think the one thing that felt good
30:36was that the FBI had expressed that they were working
30:39on the whereabouts of my father.
30:41I felt we were going to finally get some answers.
30:44Throughout her relationship with Svetlana,
30:47Kimberly had continually been pressing her for,
30:51find me someone who can kill the people I want eliminated.
30:56Using this as an opening,
30:58the FBI decided,
31:00we're going to give you the hitman you've been asking for.
31:08I never really did much undercover work before.
31:11I never really did much undercover work before.
31:14The case was riding on me not screwing it up.
31:18We decided to set up to staying at a local hotel in San Diego.
31:29The room is prepped by having at least one camera
31:33and then two or three mics in addition to the mics
31:36that I was wearing on myself.
31:42The objective was to get some money in advance
31:47The objective was to get some money in advance
31:50to show there was an actual intent
31:53to kill these people on her part.
31:57This could make or break the case.
32:00Before the meeting, I was somewhat apprehensive.
32:03I didn't know what she was like.
32:05I didn't know how the meeting would pan out.
32:12How are you?
32:14Pretty good, thank you.
32:19We kind of just talked.
32:23It was mainly just trying to make her feel at ease, relaxed.
32:27If I take on a contract and I follow through,
32:30If I take on a contract and I follow through,
32:32it's not going to come back to you
32:34and it's not going to come back to me.
32:36You're a sensitive person, you know?
32:38You're a sensitive person, you know?
32:40Let me tell you a little bit about me.
32:43Growing up as a child, I went through the...
32:46Well, let's just say my...
32:49I was tormented a lot as a child.
32:51It's taken me my entire life to get rid of this anger.
32:56I am a strong person.
32:58I have to be to survive.
33:01She just had that crazy look to her a little bit,
33:05you know, like an old girlfriend
33:08that you just don't want to meet again.
33:11What I need you to do is tell me straight up what you want done.
33:15Okay.
33:16You can whisper it in my ear.
33:22Couldn't believe what I was hearing.
33:30All I know is that there are three people out to get me
33:33at the survival contest.
33:35And I was strong enough to tell you
33:37that I will do whatever has to be done to survive.
33:40I deserve to live.
33:43They don't.
33:45Somebody is trying to have me killed.
33:49She felt that she was in danger
33:52and that people were trying to kill her.
33:54Who are these people specifically?
33:57John Kruger.
33:59There's an attorney, Mario Belmonti,
34:02and the third person is Gabino Palafox.
34:05She listed three people that she wanted killed.
34:08John Kruger, a Mexican attorney, and her gardener.
34:14In her eyes, it's kill or be killed.
34:17It's Darwinian, survival of the fittest.
34:20And as far as she's concerned, she's the one that deserves to win.
34:24She's the one that deserves to live.
34:27Money didn't seem to be much of an object.
34:31She handed me $10,000,
34:34and then she would pay me $10,000 for each person killed
34:38when that job was done.
34:41I thought, great, we've sealed the deal.
34:45We can move on.
34:47As long as I don't lose it on my way down to the lobby
34:51before I turn it in to the other guys, it's all good.
34:56She's exchanged money for an act of murder to take place.
35:01This clearly lays out her intent.
35:04You don't need a body.
35:06You don't need to actually have anybody harmed at this point.
35:09She's committed a felony.
35:12No question.
35:14Now it's time to move forward, take her into custody,
35:17and bring this case to a close.
35:20At this point, we have a solid case
35:22that will allow us to obtain warrants to arrest three people,
35:26Kimberly Bailey, John Kruger, and Humberto Uribe.
35:33At this time, Kimberly Bailey goes missing.
35:37A problem with this is,
35:39she's already established a pattern of behavior
35:41where she's willing to violently eliminate people who cross her path.
35:45We need to find her, and we need to find her fast.
35:49On April 4, 2000, John Kruger was taken into custody
35:52near the Mexican border.
35:54He was attempting to change the plates on his car,
35:56making it obvious that he was hoping he could get away
35:59and nobody would find him.
36:05John Kruger admitted that he had whispered in Kimberly Bailey's ear
36:10that Richard Post had been unfaithful
36:12and had taken money from her.
36:14John Kruger felt that he was undervalued,
36:18and he had a desire for more money, more power, more position.
36:22He wanted what Richard Post had.
36:27It worked for him, because after Richard disappeared,
36:30Kruger got his job.
36:37It's really low.
36:39It's really low.
36:43I'm just hearing about that for the first time.
36:47Yeah.
37:00Humberto Uribe is arrested at his mother's house,
37:03taking out the trash.
37:10April 4, 2000, John Kruger is arrested at his mother's house.
37:22Kimberly Bailey was found at a Mexican airport
37:25with a fake Canadian ID.
37:28The Mexicans held her
37:31and then extradited her back to the United States.
37:35And when she was back in custody in San Diego,
37:40I think everyone gave a big sigh of relief.
37:44This empire that Kimberly Bailey had built,
37:48the holistic business, the beautiful ranch,
37:51the control over everything,
37:53and it's all now crashed down around her.
37:58Kimberly Bailey's defense was that Richard Post was still alive,
38:03that he was in Mexico and he was living off the money
38:05that he had stolen from her.
38:07I'd say that's a big pile of horse s***.
38:10It's contrary to her own words.
38:13And I said, do what you have to do.
38:16She had said to Svetlana,
38:19and it was recorded on tape,
38:21that she had Richard Post killed.
38:26I think it really shows the cruel side of her.
38:30It really does relay a darker person
38:34that was kind of under the surface,
38:36that was there all along.
38:40All of this impact, all of this worry,
38:44all these tears, all the sleepless nights
38:47came from a person that yearned for power
38:51and wanted to play God.
38:59♪♪
39:08♪♪
39:18While serving her sentence after conviction,
39:20Kimberly Bailey contracted cancer herself.
39:23And in one last final act of defiance or delusion,
39:27she refused any type of conventional treatment for it
39:31and instead demanded and was able to use
39:34one of her own black boxes.
39:37She died.
39:40Her box doesn't work.
39:43If there's justice, maybe that's where it comes from.
39:47A lot of times when people get very wealthy,
39:49they think that the laws of society don't apply to them.
39:52She was one of those people.
39:55Kimberly Bailey's kind of a classic case of abusive power.
39:59She owns this company.
40:01She hires people to help her,
40:05and then she thinks that they owe her their lives
40:08and that she has power over them.
40:11That's unfortunate.
40:12Rick Post was killed because she thought
40:14she had the right to do that.
40:17♪♪
40:22I think it's important for myself
40:24and it would be important to my father to be remembered
40:27as someone who had a big heart,
40:29someone who always fought for the betterment of others.
40:32He was the type of person that would run towards danger
40:35in order to help a stranger.
40:38So I really, even though he's gone,
40:42I still feel that there's a great amount of spirit
40:45that is my father's
40:47that I try and keep alive in my life and in others.
40:53And to me, that's really important,
40:55and I think that that would make him smile.
40:59♪♪
41:07♪♪
41:12The way she was beaten
41:14is almost somewhat like an execution.
41:17Whoever done this was very evil people.
41:20Somebody in that police department
41:23is not telling the truth.
41:25Is there a crazy murderer running around?
41:28♪♪
