The victim was eventually identified
by his identification, being found in his wallet,
as Joseph Edward Ross.

He was eventually transported to the hospital, where he passed.
Our crime scene comes, takes photographs, really
documents what's going on.
Because there is a lot of activity,
crowds start developing.
So we start going up to those crowds-- hey,
did you see what happened?
Did you hear what happened?
The witness at the scene observed the victim
walking through the parking lot, talking on a phone and arguing.
And shortly thereafter, they observed
a red Dodge pickup truck pull into the parking lot.
Jonathan Ross said that Nicholas Nehring
was 23 years old, a small-time drug dealer,
who was out of work.
All the links with the red Dodge pickup truck,
the history between the two of them,
this subject being armed on a regular basis,
and it, obviously, then at that point
propelled Nicholas Nehring to being the suspect
that we were looking for.
Before we entered the room to interview Nick,
he was sleeping.
This is referred to as the perp nap.
Someone who's typically guilty will actually
fall asleep in the interrogation room
because they're so exhausted from the stress associated
with waiting to be arrested.
He's very engaged right now.
He's up at the table.
He's close in.
He's in a very strong position.
And at first, I'm back.
So I move in to show that I also have
a very firm position in my assertion
that his vehicle is there.
If it seems as though I'm not sure, he'll take that,
and he'll run with it.
And that allows him to have an escape.
When he's feeling threatened, he starts to back up.
And the hand that he's able to, actually goes into his pocket.
So it's another defense mechanism that he's using,
where he's hiding and concealing what actually happened.
At that point, I didn't have video of the shooting.
But he's nodding because now he believes it.
So with him, I felt comfortable throwing out
the bluff in such a way because I didn't think
he was going to call me on it.
And I thought he would accept it.
I wasn't.
That explains why--
[inaudible]
His true face comes out, and it comes out in grand fashion.
We were speechless.
He just didn't care.
It was just-- it was pure evil.
From the very beginning of this investigation,
it was a "Whodunit?"
And within hours, we had the suspect in custody,
we had a confession, we had him charged, and he was on his way
to jail.
Nick Nehring was sentenced to life in prison.
That confession showed that he planned to kill
Joseph from the very beginning.
And it showed his mindset, that he did not care.
There's no chance of Nick getting out ever.
He'll die in prison.
And that's probably best because I do believe that he would kill
again if he had the chance.
