The video shows Cody effectively providing Newell with a play-by-play of the day’s events – offering a purported victim and witness an extraordinary window into an ongoing police investigation.

At what appears to be the start of the call, Cody says “Hey honey, we can’t write anything.” Newell responds that she understands.

Cody tells Newell that he “just hit Ruth’s and Eric’s – so now I’m heading to Eric’s house.” Newell interjects “holy shit.”
