TROY ROBERTS - CBS 48 HOURS

48 HOURS - "Ambushed" Saturday, March 16, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)  It was Donna Velasquez’s first case as a detective.  In 2003 the Pembroke Pines police department was initiating a cold case missing person unit and Velasquez, a 40-year-old road patrol officer, was going to lead it.  The oldest case was the unsolved disappearance of David Jackson -- missing for more than 15 years.   Jackson was a 24-year-old divorced father when he went out for cigarettes one night in June 1988 and never returned.  Detective Velasquez didn’t know how she would find David all these years later.  She posted a missing persons poster on her office wall and had an artist draw a picture of what Jackson may look like now.  But beyond that, as Velasquez admits to correspondent Troy Roberts, she had no idea where to start.  And then a 19 year old boy wandered into her office. 

John Henry Wolfe, 19 at the time, was part of the Police Explorers program.  There was nothing John liked better than hanging around detectives.  One day, he hoped to be a police officer too.  One evening he saw the missing person’s poster on Detective Velasquez’s wall.   John Wolfe couldn’t stop staring.  David Jackson, he told her, was his father.  For years John, who had been adopted by his step father Michael Wolfe, told Detective Velasquez he wondered what became of his biological father but never got any good answers from his mother.  Detective Velasquez would spend the next several years trying to prove John’s mother Barbara, John’s grandfather Harry, and his step father Michael Wolfe, murdered David so that Barbara wouldn’t have to share custody with him.   Barbara was beautiful, soft-spoken – hard to believe she could mastermind a murder.  Wolfe and Barbara had divorced and he was on his 7th wife and she was on her 4th husband.  And then Detective Velasquez got lucky again– Wolfe’s ex-wives revealed that when he drank he’d reveal details about murdering David with Barbara’s help.  Wolfe was convicted.  Within days he confessed to the murder and implicated Barbara.  But Barbara isn’t behind bars.  That’s where the aspiring teen detective, John, comes in.  Troy Roberts has the story about how John would eventually help investigators crack the case.
