A police podcast jump-starts a cold murder case and aids manhunt for a killer. A special ABC2020 that airs Friday, Oct. 21, at 9 p.m. ET takes a look at Q.C. Chadwick’s murder and the tireless effort by law enforcement authorities to track her killer.
U.S. Marshals' Detective Craig McCluskey shows ABC News' Bob Woodruff the pay phone near the Mexico border from which Peter Chadwick first called the police.It was just another quiet day in an exclusive, residential neighborhood of Newport Beach, California, where it seemed that nothing could go wrong, let alone be the backdrop for a horrific murder.
When they arrived at the Chadwicks’ house it was empty, and word quickly spread around the neighborhood that something must be wrong, according to their neighbor Heidi Pascal. Peter Chadwick had called from a gas station pay phone a few miles from the Mexico border, two hours south of Newport Beach. "It becomes clear that, whatever the other details may be, Q.C. has been killed and her husband Peter was involved," said Manzella.Seven days after Q.C. went missing, Peter Chadwick's attorney called the police to tell them Peter would reveal the location of Q.C.'s body.When authorities finally located the dumpster, they found her body.
“He is in Santa Barbara staying with his dad,” ABC News Contributor and crime reporter Pat Lalama said of Chadwick following his arrest. “He has a relationship with his kids. And for two years he shows up for hearings.” In 2018, after the case had essentially run cold, a new sergeant to the Newport Beach Police Department, Court Depweg, would bring new energy to the case.He approached police spokesperson Jen Manzella and asked her if she had any ideas on how the department could re-publicize the story. Manzella decided to create a podcast.
