crime and you like makeup i
would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button
cause i’m here for you on
mondays let’s get into
today’s story
so julie kibiwishy
she was born on valentine’s day in 1987
she was the
first daughter
to her mother june and her father masa
she was the baby girl that they had been
dreaming of she was
treated like a princess
of the house
but growing up
with two brothers
it brought out more of the tomboy
traits you know she was
super athletic and it was said that she loves
sports but when
she was five years old that’s when she really got into
dance and dance became like her passion she did
every kind of dance
she did tap dance
lyrical jazz and ballet
plus her artistic passions really didn’t stop with
dance she was just
overall a very artistic girl she
loved design
and she also enrolled at
orange coast college in
southern california
as an art major
while living at home with her parents
so on friday may 21
2010 julie told her mom that she was headed to long
beach to meet with her brother for
dinner to help him and his fiance
plan for their wedding
um she told her
mother not to stay up because she’d probably
you know she
wouldn’t be home until late
so she says bye mom
love you and then
heads out the door and then that was the last time june
saw her daughter alive so
while at dinner with her brother and soon to be
sister in law
julie her phone kept
going off because
she was getting text messages from her friend sam
hair now the text messages suggested
that sam was having some kind of family problem
and he just needed like a
shoulder to cry on
i think the text said something
along the lines of quote
just needed a girl’s
shoulder to cry on
julie told her brother
about sam saying that he was just
a friend but that he was like a big brother and that
if he got the chance to meet sam
he would definitely like him now sam
was the only
child of steve and raquel
and he was a decorated combat
veteran in the us army he had served in afghan
afghanistan
and sam had
come home and enrolled in college so that he
could get his degree and go back into the army
because he really liked to
travel his father
would describe him as a
a big bloop
he was one week shy of his
27th birthday
and sam and
julie they were
again they were just friends sam was like a big brother
to everyone
and always there for anyone who needed him
he was just like an all around
person it sounded like and
julie ended up tutoring sam
in anthropology
and she helped sam get an a in that
class and julie
she was very loving and a giving person
the kind of person who
would bend over backwards for a friend so
they just really cared
about each other
but julie was feeling a little concerned
about sam because of the text that she had received
so she tells her brother like hey i’m
gonna go over to sam’s
apartment and kind of see what’s
going on with him
cause he doesn’t seem like he’s doing too well
so she ends up leaving her brother’s
place and she heads out to sam’s apartment
so the next morning comes
along it was saturday morning and
julie wasn’t home
so her mom wasn’t
like immediately
worried but
you know she sent out a text to
julie asking like hey
where are you at
but she knew that like if
julie had been
drinking at all she would
often stay at her brother’s
place cause
you know don’t drink and
drive so she wasn’t like too
worried she just need to figure out
where she was at
but when julie
still wasn’t home around noon
that’s when june
texted her daughter
again and she didn’t get a response
so she’s like okay like what’s
going on so she calls her
daughter and
the phone just
rings and rings and then it just goes to voicemail
so that’s when june was like really
started to get
worried cause
it’s just unlike her
daughter you know
so june called her son
to see if he knew
where julie was
and that’s when she
learned that
julie had gone to sam’s that
night so she
doesn’t have sam’s number but june had a list of
julie’s friends
phone numbers
so she’s like okay
maybe i can like you know
call them all up and somebody has to have sam’s number
or maybe somebody knows
where like julie is at
so she goes down the list and she
starts contacting everyone she can
now nobody had seen julie
and her mom said that she had that
that like sickening feeling
in her stomach you know when something is just not
right you know so when she couldn’t get a hold of her
daughter figure out
where her daughter was at
she decides to call the irvine police to
place a missing persons report
but julie wasn’t the
only person not responding to calls or text messages
on saturday may
twenty second
sam was also supposed to like
spend the weekend with his family
saturday came and his family had not
heard from him like
where’s he at you know
hours go by they try to call him
but the calls are just
going straight to voicemail okay
weird you know
so sam’s father
he had a key to sam’s
apartment in costa mesa
so he was like okay maybe
i’ll just go down there and
see if sam’s there
maybe he lost his
phone maybe
whatever you know let me just go down there
so his dad goes down there
and what he finds
is just an awful
scene something he did not expect
so his dad goes out there
right cool so he lets himself in and when he
first walks in
that’s when he finds a
young woman
lying face down on sam’s bed
with a gunshot wound
to her head
some of her
clothes had been ripped off she was also wearing a
tiara it’s just so
weird but there was also a message that was written
on her clothing it was on the back of her
sweatshirt it said
quote all yours
fuck you i know
creepy and so
steve obviously horrified
he calls 911 immediately and he’s just
hysterical poor guy
i mean any of us would be
right i would hope
but there was no sign of sam it was odd it was
weird so the
young woman was
identified as julie
on her cell
phone police
found text messages between sam and
julie asking for her to come over
back at julie’s
house police were questioning june
about her missing daughter
cause they came over for the missing person report
so the police are already over
there you know getting some information and what not
and then i guess
like one of the police officers they like step out
they go to the police car and like they’re in there for
quite a bit
and the police officer comes back in june
julie’s mom said that he looked different he
sounded different
and to her something
something wasn’t
right you know
the only thing that june
could think was oh gosh
you know was
julie in a car accident
did something happen to her
sadly the officer told her that they found
julie in sam’s
apartment and
all june could say was like no no no no
no that wasn’t her no but it was julie
police found
julie’s purse
and her id at the scene
to police it seemed pretty cut and dry
a pretty cut and dry case i
should say it seemed that sam
had raped and killed
julie and was now like on the run
despite the family’s
claims that
the relationship
was platonic
detectives wondered if the message on julie’s
sweatshirt was
alluding to some kind of love triangle gone wrong
but the fact that sam
wasn’t there
made detectives and police
think that he was just on the run
sam also had a bit of a criminal past
at the age of 18
sam had gotten
mixed up with like a rough
crowd that included
different members
of different gangs i guess
and in this group
there was a person murdered and then there was
another person who was killed in
connection to that so sam
along with 23
other people they were arrested and
charged with murder sam
was eventually acquitted
but with this little
brush with the law confirmed
police’s suspicion that sam
was probably responsible for
julie’s murder
so his father
understood that sam is
going to be the primary suspect because i mean
hello julie is
found in his
apartment murdered steve
understands like okay it’s not looking good for sam
but he had this gut feeling that
sam was not the one who did it so steve
took it upon himself to
prove his son’s innocence
because police
are already like okay sam’s the one who did this
it’s in his
apartment he texted her to come over
sam did it but his father is like heck no i’m
gonna do some investigating myself and
make sure and prove
that sam didn’t do it i feel like
i made that way more complicated than it needed to be
but you get it
so steve starts calling all of sam’s friends
none of them had seen or
heard from sam they all wanted to help though so
they were like here are some
phone numbers of different friends to call
and steve called
those friends
one of those people that he
spoke to was
sam’s neighbor
who lived in the same
apartment complex as sam
and it was a
guy by the name of daniel wozniak so he calls him up
he’s like yeah i saw sam on friday but i really haven’t
heard from him since
on may 24th
steve was able to get access
to sam’s bank account records
and immediately he noticed that there was
money being withdrawn from one bank on
three different days
it was being withdrawn
from an atm next to a pizzeria
in long beach
not far from sam’s apartment
there was also a charge
from the restaurant
on the card as well
so somebody was eating some
pizza and getting some cash you know
very suspicious
so steve goes
down to the location of the bank and the pizza
place and he’s just waiting outside to see if anyone
someone is coming
going i don’t know maybe
he’s looking for sam
maybe sam’s around or his car he’s just thinking
if his son is on the run
maybe he could at
least spot him
talk some common
sense into him
before everything came
crashing down you know so he’s just sitting there
he’s just waiting
but unfortunately
like no luck no sign of sam
on tuesday morning
steve called
back some of sam’s friends and when he called up
dan wozniak
again this time it was kind of strange cause dan
changed his
story like you
know if you’re not
lying about something then your
story doesn’t need to change
so this time dan
said that sam
told him he was having family problems
now steve knew
right off the bat
that this dan guy was
lying because
steve and sam
father son extremely
close okay their relationship
super tight
as far as he knew there was no issue
going on between him and his son
nor with any of the family members so
try again you know like that’s not
right dan dan
no steve’s little detective work
got his senses
tingling when he realized that out of all the
phone numbers he had called dan’s
phone number was the only one that had a long
beach area code hmm
the same area
or the same area code of the atm
and the pizza restaurant
so it doesn’t like say a lot
but at the same time it
like got that little gut feeling of like hmm
something ain’t
right so police were able to get security footage
from the atm
machine so the security tape showed that the
someone went to the atm machine
right it was a young
white male somewhere between the
age of 17 to 20
they were wearing a baseball hat
using sam’s car to withdraw
money from sam’s bank account
it was shown that whoever this person was was not sam
so it was actually this kid
named wesley
they’re like
great who the heck is this wesley guy
so once you’re able to id who this person is
police are able to get
the whole shebang
two police cars an fbi van
and a helicopter
were all dispatched to go
to this wesley guy’s house
believing that he was helping hide sam
or maybe helped sam in some kind of way
now when they show up to wesley’s he’s like whoa whoa
whoa whoa hold on
you know like this is a little much
wesley was like he got the wrong guy
so obviously he’s
freaked out like i don’t know what the heck is
going on this guy dan wozniak he
approached me and
asked me if i
could withdraw
money from his bank for him
because he was busy or something and he couldn’t
get the money himself and that’s why i went to the atm
so investigators
were like well how do you know this dan guy
and wesley was like oh dan yeah
dan and i know each
other way back when from like middle school
dan was a part of some
local theater
group where his mom was a teacher
and that dan was a fantastic guy just one of
those guys that he wanted
to be around because he was so kind and he
could make everybody and anybody
laugh so when dan
asked him if he
could do this
favor wesley had no reason to believe that there is any
issue you know
well both wesley and
steve were pointing the fingers at dan
police charged dan
with accessory to murder of
julie and arrested him in hopes of dan
giving them information on
where like sam was at
so dan was getting
married in a few days
and he was actually having his bachelor
party when police came in and arrested him i know
he probably thought like the police were hired
strippers or something nene
it was a real deal
he was like am i
under arrest officer i’ve been real bad
and like he was really actually
under arrest
so dan gets arrested now
who’s this dan guy well let me tell you dan wozniak was
26 year old community theater actor
and a part of the
local theater company
people often described him as a
super nice guy
he was good looking
and very personable
now he was engaged his
fiance her name was rachel buffett
they had met each
other when dan was doing a play
she was also an actress
and she worked as a disney princess at disneyland
the two had fell in love and in
2008 dan proposed
during questioning dan repeatedly
told cops that he had nothing to do with anything
but over time his story
started to change
he did admit to police that he had manipulated wesley
into making the atm withdrawals from sam’s account
he said it was for sam
but then later dan told police that sam confessed
to dan that he had killed
julie in his
apartment upstairs now dan said that
sam threatened him
and if he didn’t help him escape
you know he’s
gonna come for him next or something
but dan swore up and down that
he had nothing to do with
julie’s murder
we don’t believe you dan
we don’t believe you
your stories
changed like a
whole bunch
so during interrogation so they asked dan
hey can you give us some spit you know we’re
gonna do some dna testing
and then dan all of a
sudden is like whoa actually
i got a different
story for you
you know hey new story
i hate people
this time he
claimed he stopped by sam’s apartment
and he discovered
julie’s body okay
saying when he went inside he saw
two bullet holes in her head
now this was a little
light bulb moment to police because
you see you
could only see one
exit gunshot wound
on julie the
second gunshot
wound was covered
sorry to get
graphic but it was like
covered with like
brain matter
and was only discovered during the autopsy
so nobody even knew that there was two
but dan did
all of a sudden
weird you know
so with this information it was
clear that dan
must have been there when
julie was killed because nobody
would know that
dan rachel dan’s fiance
she was brought
in for questioning and her behavior was really odd
now there’s a lot of debate around
her because they brought
her in and they’re like hey you know your fiance
was under arrest
for covering up a murder okay
now they thought it was strange
cause her reaction was just kind of like oh yeah
weird like she was not it just
was just like
a normal day for her like she wasn’t
shocked at all
and they were
like okay well if somebody got this information
wouldn’t you be a little
shocked that your fiance
may be involved with some kind of murder
situation i mean for
for christ’s sake she’s an actress
couldn’t she at
least pretend
to be a little
shocked that her fiance
maybe being involved with the murder
but instead she was like oh
weird that’s so
crazy that he
might be involved but okay
so strange so she
claimed that
she knew nothing
okay but her
story was all over the place she
was saying that she had not seen sam at all then she
later mentioned seeing a mystery friend at sam’s
apartment her
story just wasn’t lining up it just wasn’t making sense
something was something wasn’t
right but they also just didn’t know what
so dan was arrested and he was sitting in jail
now he was able to make a
phone call that’s how
stupid this guy is he’s such an idiot i
swear to you
so he’s able
to make a phone call he calls his fiance
ding ding ding ding ding hello
you know hey
so he calls up his fiance
rachel so rachel
tells dan that she
spoke to his brother tim
that tim told her
that dan had
given him a backpack of evidence and
in this backpack
were shell casings from
julie’s murder
sam’s wallet
sam’s id sam’s
checkbook and sam’s bloody clothes
so dan gave this
all this stuff
so he put it in a backpack
and then gave it to his brother tim
and then tim told rachel on the
phone now on the
phone dan is begging her to not tell police
about this evidence
against him and she’s like dan
yeah the prison
that you’re calling me from
all of their conversations are being recorded so
not okay you know
he’s just like
stupid sorry
he’s an idiot
so she tells dan over the phone
that as soon as they get off the
phone that she was calling detectives
and like you can hear in dan’s
voice he’s just
worried scared he
sounds like a little baby
but also some believe
that she was just saying that because she knew that the
phone call was being recorded
and she was kind of pretending like she didn’t know
but that’s up for debate really
but dan over here just
sounds like a little
bitch if you’re
gonna murder somebody
the least you
could do is own up to it instead of being a little
bitch so shortly
after this phone call with his fiance
dan said that he knew
the jig was up
okay he just like knew it was over for him so he
asked to speak to the police
so they come in they
bring them in for questioning
or they bring them into the interrogation room
and then dan
said something
no one expected
he told police
quote he was crazy
and that he did it
so police are
like can you please like clarify what you mean by
you did it because
you know we need more information obviously so
dan confessed to killing
julie and sam
so where the hell was sam
so this new information through police for a loop
because sam was not on the run
for julie’s murder at all
he was a victim himself
now dan’s confession to the murders confirmed
steve’s belief
that his son was innocent all along but
it now was just gonna
bring like a lot
of devastating news as to like what really happened
so dan walked the police through everything
dan said that he was desperate for money
he was behind on two
months rent
and had an elaborate wedding coming up
and it was only weeks away
they also had
planned a very elaborate
honeymoon and dan
simply just didn’t have
money to pull all this off
but he didn’t tell his fiance
this she thought
everything was rainbows and lollipops nene
he didn’t have any money
dan knew that sam had
sixty thousand dollars in savings from combat pay
it was stored away from his days in the army
and at some
point he mentioned it to dan
so dan’s plan was to kill sam
and get the
money from sam’s bank account
use it for his wedding and his honeymoon
great no one will know i’ll get away scot free like
what a stupid plan dan told
police that he texted sam that he needed help moving
things at the theater in fullerton
where he was performing
sam was like sure i’ll help you out and
he arrives to the theater
dan’s like hey will you come up with me to the attic
to help me move something really quick it’s
heavy can’t do it myself
sam was like sure so they go up to the attic
they’re in this like area
dance like it’s this
thing i don’t
really remember what it was but sam bends down to pick
whatever it was up
that’s when dan
shot him in the back of his head
now he said that
after the first shot
sam was still
alive and he was asking for help
saying that something
hit him in the head it felt like an electric shock
so instead of helping damn reloaded and
fired again this time killing him
in the theater
addict now dan
leaves him there
he goes home before returning to the theater
with rachel
for that evening’s performance of the show nine
which they were both starring in
yeah so the show went on
they’re performing on
stage as one does i don’t know what they
boo but i boo boo boo
you know and
dan is acting out as if nothing happened it was like a
great performance they said whatever meanwhile
sam’s body was like right
above them in the attic
beep it up like what
what is wrong with people i don’t understand
so then dan told investigators that he killed
julie to cover his own tracks
he created this elaborate
story that he wanted to frame
sam as killing
julie and then he fled
so after killing sam
that’s when he took
he took sam’s
phone he texted
julie to come over to sam’s apartment
and said like
oh i’m having family problem so
julie goes to the apartment
dan came up
to her he was like accidentally just ran into her
and he was like oh my god that’s so
funny like i’m
here too sam just called me and said like he’s
going through some
stuff but um
i have a key
and i can let you into his apartment
he really had to fucking plan this shit you know
so he has this the key to the sam’s apartment
julie’s there
he opens up the apartment
they both go inside
dan lets julian they hang out for a bit
when they were in the
apartment dan called over to
julie and like hey come here
cause he’s like
in sam’s bedroom he’s like hey come here
come over here i see something really
weird come here
and so julie comes over
and he’s like oh my
dance like oh my god look
over there by the bed there’s something over there you
should go check it out
julie goes over there
and she’s leaning over
to the whatever it is dan was said he saw
and when she’s leaning over
dan shoots julie in the back of the head
and then he
staged the crime to make it look like a rape to
throw the police off
i just hate him
cause like okay what was just so he’s
he’s doing all of this this is the most
selfish person ever
right cause he’s doing all of this
just so he can get
money for a wedding
why don’t you get a damn job dan
and rachel once you guys get some fucking
work or something instead of getting married
bunch of losers
i hate them
so then as if it
doesn’t get any more fucked up because it totally does
so then the next day
after the murders
dan said that he went back to the theater
he went up to the attic
and he dismembered sam’s body
what in the fucked up is
going on around here
dan said that he dismembered sam’s body
which is like
a little extreme
but dan was saying as if this justifies it in some way
that he couldn’t
get him out of the attic without people noticing
right like if he’s
carrying a dead body out
might be a little obvious
so he’s like
let me dismember him cut him up that makes way more
sense to me in my dumbass brain
and then dan told police that he remember smiling and
laughing because he had just reached a
point where he
couldn’t even believe what he was doing anymore he just
found the whole
thing hilarious
anyways so he
ended up leaving sam’s
torso and other limbs in the attic because
he just couldn’t
take it down yet so he disposed of sam’s head hands and
tattooed forearm
in the eldorado park in long beach
he tells this to police and detectives end up
going out to the park
and to the theater
and they find sam’s remains
on what would have been his
27th birthday talk
about fucked up
sadly though animals had gotten to
pieces of his body in the park
and one of his hands was
never found
sam was given a hero’s burial with full military
honors and daniel
wozniak was officially
charged with two
counts of first degree murder during the
trial a witness
named chris williams came
forward and told police that he had been at daniels and
rachel’s apartment the day sam was murdered
he said that he loaned the couple some money
and was there to collect it
daniel or dan
must have known
about sam’s savings account
and asked sam
for a loan so he
could pay back chris
so together they went to go pick up the cash
while chris stayed behind with rachel
three hours
later dan returned
alone with 400
and gave it to chris
later during questioning rachel maintained that sam was
still alive during this exchange both rachel
and dan’s brother tim
were arrested and
charged with accessory
after the fact
tim wozniak
dan’s brother he pled guilty to being an accessory
after the fact
for hiding dan’s backpack full of the evidence
which included
again the shell casings from
julie’s murder
sam’s wallet sam’s id
his checkbook
and his bloody
clothes so he testified
against his brother as a part of a plea
agreement now dan’s
defense attorney was trying to
shift the blame onto rachel the fiance
saying that
she was the one who wanted the expensive wedding
that she was the one who was
smarter of the two and she
was involved
many speculated
how did she not know what happened
when she was brought in for questioning
her reaction was off like
things just didn’t add up with rachel
but she stood by the fact that she was innocent
um that she did not know anything
she was just
she didn’t know
she would later go on the doctor phil show
and she was like giving an exclusive interview
while she was out in bail she was like
oh my god i didn’t know anything i’m not a damn thing
and i don’t know
you know but she
claimed that she too was a
victim of dance
saying that she had wish she
never met him like i
wanna believe her
when you watch interviews and
stuff you want to believe her
but the same time it’s like
something ain’t right
hmm something ain’t
right something is not right
i get accused a lot in the comment section of being a
victim blamer
because sometimes i’ll call out people like this
where i’m like i don’t know
i don’t think i’m a
victim blamer i just
think something ain’t
right that’s it
you know like damn
anyways so detectives
also interviewed an ex boyfriend of rachel’s
who said that when rachel was drunk
so rachel was
drunk one night she was like oh my god
and she accidentally thought that the ex boyfriend
was dan daniel her fiance
and she blurted out
i told you to
burn the body this is what the ex boyfriend testified
now there’s an
added level of
creepiness to the
statement because behind the theater
where sam’s murder took place
was an old military hospital with a morgue
and an incinerator
rachel she continued
to deny that she had anything to do with the murder
after six years of
trials the da
did not have enough evidence to support a murder charge
but rachel was convicted
of accessory to murder for
lying to police
and sentenced to only thirty two
months in prison
sam’s father
steve he feels that justice
was not served
he think or he thought that rachel was let off easy
and she should have been
charged with murder as well
you know what i
guess there’s really not much you can
charge her with because there was really no evidence
linking her
to the murder
unless dan want to come out and and
take her down with them you know
so i guess yeah
sorry i’m just like really
thinking about it now i’m like as much as i i want to
believe that she’s involved there’s really no evidence
besides her saying like you
should have burned the body
i feel like that’s
but you can’t accuse someone on that okay i’m
sorry i’m getting sidetracked so they
ended up having like
200 hearings over the span of six years
and only two
hours of jury deliberation
daniel wozniak
was found guilty on two
counts of first degree murder
and sentenced to capital punishment
in september of
twenty sixteen
currently daniel bozniak is
still waiting on
death row for his sentence to be
carried out
but the likelihood of that happening anytime soon
is like slim to none because
you know there have been challenges over
california’s
death penalty
and no one has been executed
since two thousand six and there are over
seven hundred and
fifty inmates
on death row at san quentin
where um dan is currently sitting
so the chances of him actually you know he’s probably
going to die in
prison which
i believe that’s a fair i believe that’s
worse than the
death penalty
do you think that i need to know do you
think that because some people are all
about the death
penalty and i’m like look
sitting for the rest of your damn life in prison
that to me sounds way
worse than a
death penalty anyways
rachel and tim have both finished
their sentences
and just continue to live
their life the end
this is what happens when you
are an idiot
what a dumbass what a
selfish piece
of garbage he killed
two people so he can have
money to get
married huh
your wedding is not that special babe
no it ain’t i’m sorry
go get hitched
go to vegas there you go
now you’re not in prison
don’t be an
idiot i hate people i cannot believe
i just don’t
understand how one day
you can snap and just murder
two people and then dismember them in the attic
like there was no red flags with this guy
really people stress me out i just
and you know what’s sad both of
them are actresses or actors and they couldn’t even act
they suck i don’t know what we can take away from this
other than i’m
sorry that people
freaking suck man
julie and sam seems like
just really
great people
that were just
taken and it’s not fair
for what for someone’s wedding ah
god how dumb
what an idiot oh god what a
stupid what a
stupid man this damn woesnack guy i’m
sorry but he’s
stupid and i hope he brought some prison forever
and if the wife was involved
karma karma is real
it really is ma’am
and it’ll get you
but only if you did it if you didn’t do it then you
should be fine
so that one’s on you girl anyways
thank you guys so much for hanging out with me

wonderful rest of your day you make good choices please
