Where Is Robert Fisher? Page #4

---

and he knew what he was doing.

But he wasn't a quick man.

Talking to him was like

talking to a person

who was analyzing every

word that you said,

and thinking long

and hard about it.

He was the type of guy you

could see his gears working.

- He was a fireman in

California for a while.

He was in the Navy.

He was a cardiac technician,

a respiratory technician.

That was his, kind of where he

began developing

his career after.

He couldn't be a fireman

anymore from his injuries.

(camera clicks)

- He needed back surgery,

because he had injured

himself while working as a

firefighter in San Diego.

And he took years to plan

for that back surgery.

He was worried that

after the back surgery

he might to be able to work.

And so he got his

financial affairs in order,

he paid off one of their cars,

he planned on paying

off their house.

(camera clicks)

- He was a very

controlling person.

He was a very difficult

person to get along with.

To the point where his

wife was having difficulty

getting along with him.

Anything that was put on

the walls in the house

had to have his okay.

She couldn't decorate the house.

It was okay to put a deer head

up on the wall that he shot,

but not kid's

artwork or whatever.

- What you taking pictures of?

Turn that thing off.

You.

- [Voiceover] This is to show

our boy's two months old.

- So what? Leave him alone.

- [Voiceover] It's also

his first Thanksgiving.

- "Big deal," he says.

- [Voiceover] Robert.

- Let's get on with the food.

- [Voiceover] Will it

work with the window open?

Hey, Bobby.

- Oh!

- [Voiceover] That hurt him?

- Say hi. Hi, people.

Hi, people.

(mumbling)

Brittany's looking sharp today.

- [Voiceover] I see.

- Show 'em your dress.

Turn around.

Turn around again.

Smile.

Smile pretty.

Okay, now scream.

(fake screams)

(laughs)

- Aah! Stop!

- See, I know you could scream.

- [Voiceover] There's

Porcupine Dad.

(baby yelps)

- Okay, kill the camera.

- [Voiceover] Okay,

just a minute.

Can you say bye, Brittany?

- Bye!

- [Voiceover] Now

to find the button.

Don't, there's some

medicine on it.

(ominous music)

- One of the the things

that I was tasked with

during the investigation is to

go out and interview

anybody who had every known

or had contact

with Robert Fisher.

One of the troubling

things that I realized

right away from some of the

initial interviews we did

is he truly enjoyed hunting

but not as a sportsman.

He took it to the

next level to where

he seemed to enjoy killing.

- Friends started disassociating

themselves with him.

They wouldn't go

hunting with him anymore

because it got unsafe.

- There were a couple

of stories that were

really interesting.

They went hunting.

And they got an elk,

and they were gutting it.

And the guy turns

around and looks,

and Robert's smearing

the blood all over him.

- [Bobby] (mumbles) Yay!

(Brittany chanting)

- [Robert] Better dead than red.

Better dead than red.

(Bobby yelling)

Let's go get the commies.

(Brittany chattering)

- Okay, at ease.

At ease, recruits.

Cut. Cut!

(explosion booms)

- He seems like an angry guy

who is sort of controls

with tough guy antics,

even towards his

children, towards,

I guess it's his wife

running that camera.

And he'd tell 'em to cut,

then points something at her

like it's a gun.

It's again, easy to

armchair quarterback

something like that

and look at him,

imply sinister motives.

But there seems to

be sort of a sinister

underpinning to

that clip of video.

No doubt about it.

(dark ambient music)

- On the Monday

night Robert took

his daughter to her Junior

National Honor Society

induction ceremony

at the school.

Then Mary that night took

Bobby to his hunting class.

They came home that night,

and the neighbors

overheard an argument.

- There was a loud argument.

Then I believe that after

his wife and the children

went to bed, that he stayed up

and he made a decision

that he'd had enough.

- They're asleep,

and he literally

slices their throats

to where they're

almost beheaded.

(dark thumping music)

He cut her throat and then

put a bullet in her head.

I believe that's

the f*** you shot,

you're not going anywhere.

- [Charlie] By him

blowing up the house,

do you think he felt that

you guys would discover nothing?

- Hey, he could've

believed that.

Absolutely.

He could've believed that

everything would've

been disintegrated.

(dark ambient music)

We got a photograph

of Robert Fisher

at a bank actually down,

just a mile down the

street extracting money.

(dark ambient music)

- [Charlie] We don't know

if that was before he did it

or after, correct?

- Well, no, we don't.

But we have information

on timelines of arguments

that were heard by neighbors.

So we're figuring

he's extracting money.

And he's probably

taking off because

her vehicle's in the background.

And her vehicle's

not at the house

when we're there that morning.

So he's probably,

(fingers snap), he's gone.

(dark ambient music)

- He took his dog,

which his sister told police

he loved more than his family,

went to an ATM and got

few hundred dollars.

- A curious amount

to withdraw, um--

- [Charlie] Beause he

had more in there, right?

- Yeah.

- He had lots of assets.

IRAs, he had money

market accounts,

he had Bobby and

Brittany's savings.

But you gotta

remember back then,

it gave you a max of,

and some accounts are

still that way with,

you can only take out

x amount of dollars

in a 24-hour period.

He took out the max

amount of money,

and then that was it.

He never came back

and tried to liquidate

any more of his assets.

- I think he was planning it.

I always thought

he had planned it.

Did he plan it for that night?

Who knows?

- There's very little

evidence of premeditation.

There's no evidence that

he was stockpiling funds

prior to this.

There's no evidence

of a secret account.

He had changed the

oil in his own vehicle

the day of the homicide.

And then fled in his wife's.

That, to me, is a puzzle.

- He had actually a

good 10-hour jump on us.

There's information that he

was driving back and forth

on the Mogollon Rim,

which is north of Payson,

Northeast Arizona area.

This woman calls me and

says her and her husband

are up there on the Young Road.

It's a forest road.

They're driving south and

the woman is the passenger.

And they see a

gentleman walking out.

And she looks right at him

as he walks by their car.

Right away, they believe that

looks like Robert Fisher.

Unfortunately they

called us after the fact.

Which happens a lot.

People always get

this in their mind,

"Well, no, that can't be him.

"No, that can't be him."

I've spoken to a

tow truck driver

that probably pulled

him out of a ditch.

- We don't know who

that guys was who helped

pull him out.

So that's one of the

things that we're trying to

track down, too,

is who that guy was
