00:00The reaction from the community was a mix of emotions.
00:13Shock, certainly, disbelief.
00:17I heard a rustling outside my window, and I see these soldiers.
00:22When there's three or four soldiers at your front doorstep, you know what it means.
00:28Investigators asked her if she owned any weapons,
00:32and she played it off like she didn't know much about guns.
00:36There was anger.
00:38How could someone do this to this young mother?
00:40How could someone do this to this young child?
00:44The world is missing a beautiful person with a big heart.
00:58All right.
01:04From the pulsating streets of big cities to Main Street, USA,
01:08no neighborhood is safe from the unthinkable.
01:10These are the stories of innocence lost, of communities changed forever.
01:16This is City Confidential.
01:29Halfway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. is Severn, Maryland,
01:33a small city known for its old-world charm and family-friendly environment.
01:38Severn is just a typical suburban community.
01:43Every morning, people go on to work.
01:46Kids ride their bikes to school, up and down the sidewalks.
01:50People walk their dogs.
01:52Very safe community.
01:54This 18-square-mile area got put on the map during World War I,
02:02when the U.S. military set up a sprawling army base just outside of town.
02:07Between 1914 and 1918, the 8-square-mile fortress known as Fort Meade
02:13saw more than 400,000 soldiers pass through.
02:17They maneuver into battle, sham battle, Fort Meade, Maryland, and tactics for tanks.
02:29During that time, it became the military's key communication hub,
02:33home to the Hello Girls, a hand-picked group of 223 bilingual switchboard operators
02:40who were integral in relaying messages to U.S. troops fighting in Europe.
02:46When the war ended, the government recognized the importance of the fort's contribution
02:51to high-tech communications, so they built on its reputation.
02:56Soon, it was at the forefront of cold cracking.
02:59And by the start of World War II, the base's newly formed Signal Corps
03:04had developed much of the equipment used to communicate in battle,
03:08like the game-changing FM backpack radio
03:11that provided troops with reliable static-free transmissions.
03:15Nearly a century later, Fort Meade is considered the epicenter of America's intelligence community.
03:24They house the National Security Agency.
03:29They house the Defense Information Systems Agency.
03:34These are agencies that are responsible for foreign surveillance
03:40and, you know, making sure that different communication systems between the military can communicate with each other.
03:48And many of the 57,000 residents who live in Severn are some of the best cold crackers and surveillance experts in the world.
03:57So in the summer of 2015, everyone was stunned when a tragedy no one saw coming showed up on their doorstep.
04:06It's just before 8 a.m. on Tuesday, August 25th, when a call comes in to the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
04:21A maintenance worker at a townhome community, two and a half miles from Fort Meade,
04:26says he was making his rounds when he saw the sliding glass door to a unit hanging wide open.
04:31I went around to the front of the house, not from the door, and been doing this now for probably 15 or 20 minutes.
04:37No one's answering the door.
04:38Okay, I'm sending the officer out.
04:40The Anne Arundel County Police responded to the call, and they entered the house on the ground floor of the residence.
04:52They didn't see anybody.
04:55But when they go upstairs, on the master bedroom floor is a chilling scene.
05:01A baby is being held by a woman covered in blood who appears to be in her mid-20s.
05:07She had been shot several times in her chest and clearly had been killed as a result of those gunshots.
05:19Someone had taken her pants off and her underpants were pulled down.
05:24The initial officer described being particularly horrified by the scene because he initially thought that the child had been killed too.
05:32Thankfully, when he took a closer look, he realized the child was moving and the baby was taken from the scene to the hospital to get checked out and make sure that the baby was okay.
05:42Homicide detectives begin scouring the scene for any clues.
05:47They quickly find the victim's wallet, which identifies her as 24-year-old Carlin Ramirez, a private first class at Fort Meade.
05:56Because she's a soldier, cops call in the Army's Criminal Investigation Division.
06:02We toured the inside of a townhome.
06:06And yeah, there was nothing that was out of sorts other than the room where she was found.
06:14The top three drawers of the dresser were opened and a lot of the contents were thrown on the floor.
06:22Like somebody was rifling through the dresser.
06:25Beneath the victim are three gunshot holes.
06:30This tells cops that she was lying down when she was shot.
06:34They recover one bullet lodged in the floor and follow the most likely trajectory of the others downstairs.
06:41There was two fully encased bullet slugs that were found, one being on the foyer floor, just inside the front door, and another slug on the living room carpet.
06:58The bullets are in good condition and can easily be matched if cops can find the gun.
07:05Unfortunately, there's no murder weapon or even a shell casing to be found.
07:10That told us the shooter picked up the spin casings and removed them from the house, or that it was not a semi-automatic weapon.
07:21That it was in fact a revolver where the shell casings remain inside the weapon after the weapon is discharged.
07:30Carlin's body is sent to the coroner, while cops scour the place looking for additional clues that might lead to the killer.
07:38You don't know what you have, and you're looking for trace evidence, so you're taking the sheets off the bed.
07:45You're looking for items that may have been touched.
07:50Forensic teams work the crime scene, while detectives shift their focus to the infant found in Carlin Ramirez's arms.
07:57Military records suggest the baby is Carlin's four-month-old daughter, Vale,
08:02and according to doctors at the hospital, the baby isn't injured, but they do find a tiny bit of blood on one of her hands.
08:10It's Carlin's.
08:12My impression was that whoever killed the victim had put the child in the arms of the victim.
08:19Maybe the child was screaming and the subject had put the baby down by the victim, the mother, to soothe the baby.
08:32But there's no question, Carlin's murder was a targeted attack.
08:38And in a military town filled with people trained not to miss a single beat,
08:43a killer knew how to slip in and stay under the radar.
08:47That means either they got lucky or police are on the hunt for a very sophisticated monster.
09:02In Severn, Maryland, news of Carlin Ramirez's death travels across the area like a transmission
09:08from one of Fort Meade's battlefield radios.
09:12The reaction from the community was kind of a mix of emotions.
09:18I mean, I think that there was shock, certainly disbelief.
09:25I do think that there was also an eagerness to try to find out what had happened here.
09:34How could someone do this to this young mother?
09:36How could someone do this to this young child?
09:38Carlin worked directly for me.
09:40She was a very, very beautiful person.
09:42Her personality was amazing.
09:44She always smiled.
09:45She's always ready to make things happen.
09:47And people just love being around her.
09:50We were kind of drawn to her because of the way she talked to people and the way she cared for people.
10:05All right.
10:07So, yeah, dealing with a situation like this with any soldier is hard, but with a soldier like her that so many people are close to, you know it's going to be a lot.
10:24I'm sitting in my bedroom and I heard a rustling outside my window and I peeked out and I see these soldiers.
10:37If you've ever watched a single television show, you know that when there's three or four soldiers at your front doorstep, you know what it means.
10:52I got up and I walked out of the room and I yelled at my husband.
10:57Chewie, something happened to Carlin.
11:00He opened the door and I just saw them standing there.
11:03He said, what happened to her?
11:05And they just told me that they regret to inform me that my daughter had passed away.
11:14And that's all they told us, that they didn't have any specifics, that they didn't have anything.
11:24Police learned 24-year-old Carlin was born and raised in Texas.
11:28I was a single mom at 24.
11:31She was a mommy's girl in the sense that she wanted to go everywhere with me.
11:37We didn't have any family.
11:38So it was us.
11:39We had each other.
11:43When Carlin was five, her mother met and married Chewie.
11:47He had two kids and suddenly Carlin had a stepfather and siblings.
11:52They soon became one big, happy, blended family.
11:55As Carlin grew, she went from being a shy girl to a confident teenager who got a part-time job at the commissary of a local Air Force base.
12:08Carlin had no idea what she wanted to do with her life.
12:12She went to college and she was studying criminal justice.
12:16And then one day she just told me,
12:21School's not for me and I'm going into the Army.
12:25And I was like, why?
12:29It was so unexpected.
12:33I asked her, I said, Carlin, what has gotten into you?
12:38And she said, Mom, this is what I want to do.
12:41She signed up for Intel in military intelligence.
12:46In 2014, Carlin was shipped to Korea for her first tour of duty.
12:52But just nine months later, her life changed course.
12:55She calls me, she says, I have something to tell you.
13:00And I said, what did you do?
13:02And then she says, well, I'm pregnant.
13:05And I'm like, what?
13:08You know, no one, no one really wants single parenthood for their children, especially when you've lived it.
13:15But she says, it's okay, Mom, it's okay.
13:20You know, I'm going to be okay.
13:22Carlin told her mom her new boyfriend was 35-year-old Sergeant First Class Malik Kearney,
13:30an Iraq War vet from Philadelphia with 17 years of military experience under his belt.
13:37He had a lot of responsibilities.
13:38He had a lot of wars, just very decorated.
13:40chain of command loved him, superiors loved him, soldiers loved him.
13:47She said that he made her feel like a princess.
13:50He made her feel like, you know, she was the most important person in the world and that she loved him.
13:57The couple quickly became engaged and began planning their wedding.
14:01But when it came time to return to the States, the military threw a wrench into their plans.
14:08Malik was transferred to Fort Jackson in South Carolina, while Carlin was sent to Fort Meade.
14:15Over the next few months, the two successfully maintained a long-distance relationship.
14:20Then, in April of 2015, Vale was born.
14:25Malik was by his family's side, and when it was time to return to his base, all was well.
14:32Carlin was happy, and she had her baby, and she was, you know, where she wanted to be.
14:40And to me, that's all that mattered.
14:44But in just a couple months, raising an infant with an out-of-town fiancé seemed to get to Carlin.
14:50That's when she had an affair with someone she thought could relate,
14:54a married soldier at Fort Meade whose wife was living thousands of miles away.
14:59I got a phone call from Malik crying because he found out that Carlin had gone out with another man.
15:08What she did was wrong.
15:12I said, if this is an issue now and you're not even married yet, maybe you should reconsider getting married.
15:18And he says, well, no, I'm going to forgive her because I love her.
15:25Then, on July 15, 2015, Carlin and Malik married.
15:30From the outside, it appeared their troubles were behind them.
15:33They were like many military families, spouses devoted to each other and their country while living on separate bases.
15:42But Malik wasn't exactly a forgive-and-forget kind of guy.
15:46And shortly after the wedding, he insisted Carlin pay a price to both him and the Army for having strayed with her married co-worker.
15:53Carlin, being the type of person that she was, was very apologetic and was willing to do anything to get his forgiveness.
16:09Malik forced Carlin to report this adultery, is what we call it in the military, to her chain of command.
16:17Within the Uniform Code of Military Justice, adultery is not allowed, period.
16:24You cannot have sex with anybody but your spouse, period.
16:28If it's found out, you get punished.
16:31Because if you're married and you're stepping out, then how can you be trusted?
16:36How can you be trusted?
16:37I can't trust you to maintain things in your own household.
16:41How can I trust you with, you know, military secrets?
16:44So both soldiers that were involved in this affair were reduced in rank.
16:51Money was taken.
16:52I had never seen Ramirez get mad.
16:57Like, she's always bubbly.
16:58She's always, always has a very good personality.
17:00Always with a smile on the face.
17:02She had a plan.
17:03She had a timeline that she wanted to meet.
17:05That demotion slowed their progress down.
17:07So she was upset.
17:11But Carlin pulled up her bootstraps and made the decision to dedicate herself to her baby and Malik.
17:17Just days later, the marriage blew up.
17:25Turns out Carlin wasn't the only one keeping secrets.
17:38Police in Severn, Maryland are just 24 hours into investigating Carlin Ramirez's murder case
17:44when they learned that the honeymoon period in her short marriage had ended as fast as it began.
17:51Carlin had put her military intel skills to use to check up on her new husband.
17:56That's when she discovered she wasn't the only one making mistakes.
18:02Carlin came to me a couple days after their honeymoon.
18:06She had spent some time with Malik.
18:08She said she was laying in bed and Malik had gone in the kitchen.
18:12Took his phone, but he left his iPad.
18:15He was texting another young lady.
18:17iPad and phone her linked.
18:20So she was seeing the messages.
18:22So that's when she found out that he was cheating on her.
18:26And she was like, I don't know what to do.
18:29Just kind of calmed her down and, hey, you got to do what's best for you.
18:33Do what's best for your daughter.
18:34Days later, Carlin told Malik their marriage was over.
18:43And, of course, reality hit him hard.
18:46Carlin was a beautiful, beautiful lady.
18:49And, you know, he had his trophy wife.
18:51He didn't want to lose it.
18:53He was crying.
18:54He was begging.
18:56You know, that he was sorry that, you know, that he wanted them to work it out and this and that.
19:01But, you know, she had already made her decision that she was moving on.
19:07So he would do his best to stay talking to her.
19:11He said, don't leave me.
19:12Don't leave me.
19:13Don't leave me.
19:14He was calling all the time.
19:15If she wouldn't answer his call, he was getting somebody else to call.
19:19He was blowing her phone up.
19:21It got to the point where she had to put in a restraining order to keep him away from her.
19:26For cops, a clear picture of Malik starts to emerge.
19:33One of a very jealous husband.
19:38But before they can sit him in an interview chair, the medical examiner's report comes in.
19:43It was apparent that she was shot two times in the chest and one time in the right side of the torso, which exited out the left side.
19:55The ballistics on all three slugs came back to a .38 or a .357 caliber slug.
20:01And they were all fired from the same weapon.
20:06Revolvers haven't been used in the military for many, many years.
20:11So we definitely knew it was not a military weapon.
20:17Investigators were able to determine a window for the killing based on the temperature of her body.
20:25The last use of her telephone.
20:27And the window was approximately 10 p.m. to midnight, the night before, which was August 24th.
20:37And according to the ME, there was no evidence Carlin had been raped.
20:42So the fact that her pants were removed, her underwear was pulled down, indicated that whoever did this may have wanted to make it look like there was a sexual assault associated with the crime.
20:52And then you have the child placed in the mother's arm.
20:57That's kind of inconsistent with your typical sexual assault.
21:01It was more consistent with a premeditated act.
21:08And therefore, you'd look at the husband immediately.
21:12And David, how is she?
21:13And David, how she passed away?
21:14I'll go visit.
21:15You guys will come up and answer all my questions.
21:16And we should have burned.
21:17Why?
21:18I think that you guys will come up and answer all my questions.
21:21I wish you was murdered.
21:33Why?
21:35That's what we're hoping you can help us with.
21:40I don't know.
21:41I don't know.
21:42I don't want to hear it.
21:44When somebody's murdered, you know, we look at the poor people around that person, you
21:50know, the family first, okay?
21:52Unless it's, you know...
21:53Detectives let Malik know they're well aware of the marital split and the restraining order
21:58Carl had filed against him.
22:00She's telling everyone in the world you're stressing her out.
22:04She's telling everyone in the world that she's scared of you.
22:08She had no worries that we just got never even, like, breaking my voice with her.
22:13Like, I mean, I was the perfect gentleman.
22:18I would never hurt her, ever.
22:22So if you didn't, who did?
22:24I don't know.
22:25I don't know.
22:26I do not know.
22:28Detectives asked Malik where he was on August 24th, the night Carlin was killed.
22:35Malik told detectives that he got off work at around 2 p.m., went back to his apartment
22:44off post, just hung out at his house, watched movies, surfed the internet, and then later
22:51on went to sleep.
22:52Police take Malik up on his offer and download the data from his vehicle.
23:07They also copy everything on his cell phone.
23:08They send the material to the forensic team at Fort Meade for analysis.
23:14It'll take a few days to get results.
23:16So for now, cops focus on their other potential suspect, Carlin's married soldier slash lover.
23:23After all, he was publicly reprimanded and punished with a costly demotion in rank.
23:29And maybe in place of all that was lost, he gained a motive for murder.
23:48Police in Severn, Maryland zero in on Carlin Ramirez's former lover, fellow soldier, and potential
24:07person of interest in her murder case.
24:09We had him come down to the CID office and he was in disbelief.
24:19Even though their relationship had ended, they still were friends.
24:25But he was very, very upset that Carlin was killed.
24:32And it seemed genuine.
24:36He told us that he was home the night of the murder.
24:39However, no one could corroborate it.
24:44He agrees to let police track his whereabouts that night through his cell.
24:48So they take his phone, like they did Malik's, and send the data to Fort Meade for analysis.
24:54Meanwhile, the army preps the remains of Carlin Ramirez for transport back to her hometown in Texas.
25:07A friend of mine actually was tasked with taking her body to Del Rio.
25:13So he comes to see me in my office.
25:15He said, hey, I have to go and identify her body.
25:18Do you want to go with me?
25:21So we go over to the funeral home.
25:23We go to the back where they have her at.
25:25And she's laying in the casket.
25:28And to me, it didn't look like her.
25:30It was, it was like, wow.
25:35Like my soldier's laying in this box dead because somebody decided to take her life.
25:40Like, why?
25:42Why?
25:43Like, what the?
25:45So I had to, yeah, I walked out.
25:48I was like, I'll be in the car.
25:50So yeah, that's when it, it really sunk in that she was gone.
25:57I can honestly tell you that I really, I don't think I've ever sat down and just cried.
26:07I'm, I'm a woman of great faith.
26:10So I don't question, you know, whether I'll see my daughter again.
26:16I'll see my daughter again one day.
26:17I have faith that I will.
26:19My faith gives me strength.
26:22My family gives me strength.
26:24My little girl gives me strength.
26:27That's what I do.
26:30You do what you have to do.
26:40On August 28th, police finally get back the phone and GPS analysis from Fort Meade on their two potential suspects.
26:49According to the data, Carlin's lover was at home at Severn, just like he said he was when Carlin was killed.
26:56We actually confirmed that he was telling us the truth through cell phone records and what we call tower pings.
27:06And it located his phone at his residence.
27:11And Malik Kearney appears to be another dead end.
27:16According to the report, his phone and car were 500 miles away in South Carolina the night of the murder.
27:24He was driving a Jaguar, which has the internal GPS.
27:29And the detectives confirmed that that Jaguar was there that night.
27:35So was his phone.
27:37The phone also confirms he made several online purchases from his home that night.
27:44And while some investigators might have just crossed Malik right off the suspect list.
27:49They know there was trouble in this marriage.
27:52And this is Fort Meade.
27:55These people are in a whole different class when it comes to unscrambling information.
28:00And after working their magic, they found another hidden layer of data Malik never mentioned to police.
28:09A wiping application had been activated.
28:14So the phone was essentially being wiped of its data.
28:18And it caused investigators to look very closely at all aspects of the alibi.
28:27Detectives asked the phone company for a complete copy of Malik's cell records.
28:32And when they get them, they realize Malik was very busy the night Carlin was murdered.
28:37Shopping, surfing the net, and texting a mystery number.
28:43Five months after Carlin Ramirez's murder, police discover the night she was killed, her husband Malik was firing off texts to a 30-year-old nursing student living in Florida named Dolores Delgado.
29:04Investigators determined that Dolores Delgado had been a soldier.
29:10She had been stationed with Malik Kearney in Iraq and in Texas.
29:17It appeared that she was in a sort of on-again, off-again relationship with Malik Kearney that had lasted since they were both stationed together in Iraq.
29:26Investigators checked Dolores Delgado's phone.
29:31They wanted to see where the geolocation information would place that phone.
29:36And on the night of the murder, that phone was in the same location as Malik Kearney's phone.
29:44So they concluded that Malik Kearney was probably not telling the truth when he said he was alone at home because Dolores Delgado's phone was hitting off the same cell towers.
29:58Detectives fly to Florida to talk to Dolores, hoping she can clear things up.
30:08She was very cooperative, very forthcoming.
30:13And she admitted that she was at Malik's apartment all night long and that Malik never left the apartment.
30:25That would mean both of them were together in South Carolina at the time of Carlin's murder.
30:30And their phones give them a solid alibi.
30:33So cops wonder why Malik didn't just tell them the truth.
30:37First thing that came to mind is the severity of his wife being murdered versus being caught in an extramarital affair.
30:46You would think one would just come clean about it, but he didn't.
30:51Cops pressed Dolores to see what else she might know.
30:55Investigators asked her if she owned any weapons, and she played it off like she didn't know much about guns.
31:03For police, her answer is another flag.
31:06Here's a former soldier who spent five years in the military and was even deployed to Iraq, but she says she's not familiar with guns?
31:14Cops ask if they can copy the contents of her cell.
31:19She agrees.
31:21And when they look at the data, it doesn't take a high-tech sleuth from Fort Meade to figure out that Malik and her were plotting something.
31:29They saw Malik and Dolores talking about how many miles could be gotten out of her car and how to ensure that there was plenty of gas to make a long trip without stopping.
31:41So when we looked into Delgado's financial bank accounts and all, we found that she made a purchase at a local Home Depot where she bought two gas containers and a Twinkie.
31:56And it turns out, detectives hunched that Dolores might have been downplaying her familiarity with guns is right on target.
32:04They were able to see that in the not-too-distant past, she had been on social media trying to sell ammunition for a firearm.
32:17The ammunition for the same type of weapon used to kill Carlin Ramirez.
32:23There was a price tag on the box of ammo, and on that price tag was the name of the store that she purchased it from.
32:32And we were able to ascertain from the shop that they did in fact sell this ammunition to Dolores Delgado earlier in 2014.
32:45We also asked if there was any other items that she may have purchased, and they confirmed that she bought a .357 Magnum Taurus revolver from that same store.
32:59And judging by the recovered cell data from Malik's phone, it looks like the weapon ended up with him.
33:06There was actually a text message that Malik sent her saying this gun's loud, and he appeared to be shooting the gun and telling her about it.
33:18So, all the information that we were finding through Dolores Delgado's social media and her phone, and what we were finding with Malik, it was the arrows were pointing to both of them being in cahoots on this whole murder.
33:39But even with a mountain of incriminating texts, posts, and receipts, police can't put either Dolores or Malik at the crime scene in Severn.
33:54They spend the next few months looking for anything that might make their case airtight.
34:02They find nothing.
34:04So, they make a bold move.
34:07The phone rings.
34:10It said, U.S. government.
34:13And I took the call, and he said, uh, Mrs. Ramirez, I'm with the U.S. District Attorney's Office.
34:21And I'm calling to inform you that there has been an arrest made in your daughter's case.
34:26And I was like, what?
34:30And I said, who did y'all arrest?
34:34And he said, Malik Kearney.
34:41And I was like, and so you're sure that he did it?
34:46And they're like, we have evidence?
34:49It was, it was, it was just crazy.
34:55I, it, it just blindsided me.
35:02And there was a lot of anger.
35:04Anger in the fact that I opened my door to you, and all along, you knew what you had done.
35:19With the situation with Malik, I honestly, even though I had my feelings about him, I didn't see murder in him.
35:26I didn't, especially murdering his wife.
35:28I mean, again, he's a, a decorated soldier.
35:32Outstanding career.
35:33His chain of command loved who he was, and they loved him.
35:38While the community of Severn absorbs the shock of the soldier-on-soldier murder,
35:43Malik's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Dolores Delgado, is arrested too.
35:47Both are transported to Maryland.
35:51We gave instructions to the Marshal Service that Delgado and Kearney were to be separated,
35:57so that they can't get their story straight,
36:01and to also create an uncertainty in their minds as to what their co-defendant may be doing or not doing.
36:10As soon as Dolores lands in Maryland, detectives meet with her, hoping they can get her talking.
36:15But she immediately lawyers up.
36:19We told her not to say anything, but just to listen.
36:22And we showed her the receipts for the purchase of the gas cans from Home Depot.
36:26We showed her the images from her phone about the, the, the gas mileage on her car.
36:31And the text messages relating to, bring that gun.
36:36That gun is so damn loud.
36:38And we laid that all out for her.
36:39Cops hope as Dolores stares down the long barrel of a prison sentence,
36:46she'll reconsider telling police what she knows.
36:49But three days pass, and there's still radio silence.
36:55Then the phone rings.
36:57Looks like someone else wants to talk.
37:00Three days after Malik Kearney and Dolores Delgado are arrested for the murder of Carlin Ramirez,
37:17police get a call from a Florida man.
37:19He says his son is Dolores Delgado's former boyfriend, and he has some information on the case.
37:25He told me that his son, uh, saw the news clip about, um, uh, Dolores being arrested.
37:35He said his son was very upset, and that in August of 2015, Dolores called him and asked if he would help her to get rid of some things.
37:46And so they met up late one night, uh, shortly after the murder, and they, uh, disposed of a gun and, uh, some clothing.
37:59He relayed, um, to investigators that he disassembled the weapon and threw the pieces of the gun in the water, uh, near Mare Island, Florida.
38:16The FBI dive team from Miami conducted a search of the water, and they recovered parts and pieces of a .357 Taurus revolver.
38:27It's brackish water, so things, uh, corrode and decay quickly.
38:33The gun parts appeared to be in pretty bad shape.
38:37Fortunately, experts at the FBI lab in Quantico are able to restore the revolver's barrel,
38:43attach it to the body of an identical model, and do a test fire.
38:50Which led them to find that that gun had been the very one that had shot the bullets that killed Carlos Ramirez.
38:55When investigators let Dolores' attorney know what they found, clearly they've cracked the code.
39:04Because suddenly, Dolores steps up and gives a chilling play-by-play of what happened.
39:09She said Kearney was angry with Ramirez for wanting to end the marriage.
39:18In terms of the reconciliation, Kearney would tell Delgado,
39:21she has three weeks to reconcile, and it was two weeks to reconcile.
39:27She has one week to reconcile.
39:30So he was counting down.
39:33And while he was counting down, she was bringing the gun up to him.
39:39He was test-firing the gun.
39:40He was putting all the things in place for his alibi.
39:46Because Dolores was in South Carolina at the time of the murder,
39:49she didn't actually get to witness what happened in the house in Severn.
39:54But after Malik got back, he explained to her that he went into the house,
40:01he had the gun.
40:04Carlin came down the stairs holding the baby.
40:08They argued there and then went upstairs to her room,
40:12where he told her to put the baby down in the crib, which she did.
40:16As they were talking, she explained to Malik that she wanted to go forward with the divorce.
40:24Kearney took Carlin down to the ground and shot her three times, killing her.
40:31It takes the jury just four hours to find Malik Kearney guilty for the death of Carlin Ramirez.
40:50He is sentenced to life without parole, plus ten years for the firearms charge.
40:55Dolores Delgado bleeds guilty to the federal crime of crossing state lines to commit domestic violence resulting in death,
41:04and is sentenced to 17 years in prison.
41:12Today, there are few people in Severn who were there when Carlin Ramirez was murdered.
41:17But the tragedy is remembered as a different kind of war story.
41:22The worst kind.
41:24Where the real danger came from within,
41:27and no one at the nation's premier communications hub saw it coming.
41:30The world is missing a beautiful person with a big heart.
41:40Carlin was very, very loved by everybody that she came to encounter with.
41:44And given the chance, she would have done amazing things in this world.
41:48I couldn't have asked for a better daughter.
41:53She was a beautiful mother.
41:55A great mother for the four months she gave her all to that child.
42:00To her baby.
42:02And she was mine.
42:04She was mine.
42:08And I miss her.
42:10Every day.
42:34She cried and a plaintiff.
42:35She cried but some fear and thας of death,
42:37she was unable to endure.
42:40She cried andesh all three networks at no숙s tally.
42:43But I was inclined to bring her.
42:45She had a Rolle to support her and my wife.
42:46Know the Chalet in this country.
42:47Asphabetemia next, she dropped her.
42:50She also dropped her on the film's mission.
42:53One of the amazing shows was to handle,
42:55and she was aäft-sexual mom there and raised her.
42:58How was she?
43:00She lied about tiny misses.
