[music] There is good and there is evil. [music] And that night, the evil came to play. [music] We got good one here. We got a call about the woman being underwater for a minute or two. [music] Her boyfriend said he walked out in the water. When you come back, she was brought up in the hot tub and she was not breathing. [music] We get out here and she got a big old gash on her head. [music] I'm Marianne's boyfriend. I talk to her every morning and every night. She was my hero because she was so intelligent. My name is Dr. Marianne Shockley. I'm an outreach entomologist and I'm the director of the Insect Zoo. She was on the cutting edge of the industry. I absolutely looked up to her. As my big sister, I wanted to be her. [music] I want you to now take me to May 11th, 2019. Okay. Take me through the day. What happens? [sighs] Wow. [music] They went bar hopping. They had a couple of mimosas and then we have a couple of shots. And then they went out to the country club and had drinks there. I'm Penny Dierman. This is Bloodtown. I created the podcast about the Marianne Shockley case. [music] They were having a really fun night. At this point, how many drinks do you think you've had? [sighs] Oh. [sighs] That one. [music] There was some communication about does somebody have a pool. Marcus knew that his friend Clark Heindel had a pool. So can I get your name, please, or? And they went over there at some point. [sighs] They like to have a few drinks. They brought some beer with them. Marcus and Marianne are in the hot tub and they're enjoying themselves. What the hell happened after that? Marcus says that he went into the woods to gather some firewood. As I dropped the wood off at the fireplace, I could see Marianne slumped down.
