Where Is Robert Fisher? Page #6

---

- [Robert] What'd Bobby

do today, Brittany?

- Big church.

- [Robert] Why was

he in big church?

(Brittany mumbles)

- Dedication.

(Britanny mumbles)

- [Robert] Dedication, good.

That's for that

squirt right there.

That little booger right there.

(eerie ambient music)

(rhythmic sinister music)

- There was a guy that

was camping up in the

Northern Arizona,

near Young, Arizona.

He had said that he

observed a car door open

that matched Fisher's vehicle.

He went up to a gas station

up in Heber, Arizona,

called somebody that

he knows down in Mesa,

who relayed that to

the Police Department.

Our investigators

then utilized DPS

and a Ranger helicopter

did a fly over.

(rhythmic sinister music)

- [Voiceover] We believe

it was sitting there

for two or three days.

It could've been

sitting there for five.

(rhythmic sinister music)

- [Charlie] Do you think

Robert Fisher was trying to

frame his wife by taking

her car after the murders?

- No.

Him taking Mary's car,

it's a way of we can't

identify the bodies,

so is it Mary in there or

is it Robert, you know?

So that now that takes

a couple of more hours

to confirm who's that

other person in the fire.

Also, it might've been

easier to get around

in her vehicle than his vehicle.

- Robert Fisher had

a large diesel truck.

If you're going camping

and probably trying to

get away from everyone

in a remote part of

Northern Arizona, it's

probably a better idea

to take the 4-Runner,

even if her 4-Runner

was two-wheel drive.

- So now we have fugitive,

committed a crime,

and where's he gonna go?

He's gonna go to the

areas he knows the best.

He knew he hunted that area,

he knew it like the

back of his hand.

(rhythmic sinister music)

- When they spotted

his car ten days later

in Young, Arizona, hopped in

the car and went up there.

There was no motels because

everybody was up there.

It was almost like

a giant campout.

(rhythmic sinister music)

- You've got fairly

thick vegetation.

A lot of caves.

And if the person knows

what they're doing,

it's just fairly easy to hide.

So it's not gonna be easy.

- You had just hundreds of

detectives and law enforcement

from all over the state.

And essentially for three days,

they staked out that area.

And they combed over it.

(rhythmic sinister music)

- [Voiceover] We do have a

search warrant for that vehicle.

There's no problem with--

- [Voiceover] You know

that they've got a

homicide suspect here.

- [Voiceover] Yeah,

I heard about it.

- Okay, yeah.

Probably shouldn't

wanna, you don't wanna

pick up any hitchhikers or,

where you been's cutting wood?

- [Voiceover] Yeah.

- [Voiceover] Okay.

Alright, do you have an ID?

Where you headed

through to here?

- I'm going back down to Payson.

- [Voiceover] Okay, alright.

Thank you.

- Where his car was found,

there were three caves

within just a short distance.

And they thought that he

was in one of the caves.

It was actually called Cave 41.

And so they brought

in spelunkers,

they brought in cadaver dogs,

and they brought in cameras

to try and search this cave.

And they had SWAT team

members crawling in.

They knew Robert

Fisher was military.

He was trained, he

had numerous weapons.

So it was a slow,

painstaking search.

So you the operator of this?

- [Voiceover] Yes, ma'am.

- [Tammy] Can you explain

to me just real briefly

how it works, sir?

- It's got a computer

monitor in here.

And this is the camera here.

It'll light up, and

it'll give us a picture

on the inside.

- [Tammy] Is it like a

black and white picture?

- Yes, ma'am.

- [Tammy] And you can

see it through anything?

Through water?

- Water, anything.

It's kinda hard to

see through water,

but it does a real nice job.

- This camera's designed

to go into sewers

and take pictures.

They sent that into the

cave where we thought

Robert Fisher may be.

And it determined that

there was nobody in there.

We, of course, confirmed that by

physically going into the cave.

- He could've easily been

in another cave nearby

that was not searched.

I hiked around

and personally saw

at least six different

caves within a short walk

from this existing cave.

Aside from that, they told

me there were at least

30 caves within a

quarter mile of the cave

the police searched.

In the caves I think

it's definitely possible

that he could have, if he

wanted to commit suicide,

could have done that

successfully without anyone

really knowing about it.

You don't have to go

very far in that cave

before you realize

that any kind of sound,

such as a gunshot, if he were

to kill himself down there,

you're not gonna hear

that above ground.

- The conditions were horrible.

It was raining, it was snowing.

That was eventually why they

had to call off the search.

(eerie ambient music)

- He's not there.

None of his guns are up there.

No knife that he used

to kill his kids.

The car, when we found it,

was clean as a whistle.

- We didn't find

anything in the car.

(camera clicking)

Our crime scene specialist

went through that car.

(camera clicking)

The only thing that we

could find was DNA on a hat

and one fingerprint

off of a coffee cup.

That was Robert

Fisher's fingerprint.

Not that that links

him to a murder,

but it puts him in that car.

- There was human feces near

the door of the 4-Runner.

Maybe a final sort of,

take that, sort of a statement

to his previous life.

That he went to the

bathroom right by her car.

(eerie ambient music)

- TJ talks about this

witness, this lady that saw

a guy that looked

like Robert Fisher

walking up the road

with a backpack.

I don't necessarily

think that that occurred.

Because I believe the

dog would've followed.

- Why didn't he take

the dog with him?

He left the dog by the car.

That dog was not

tied up to the car.

But the dog made a bed

underneath the car.

- If a dog is trained

and you tell him to stay,

he will stay.

But dogs also tend to

run if you take 'em out

in the forest or

out in an open area.

They tend to explore.

And that dog may very

well have been out

chasing a squirrel or something

when he decided to leave.

Because I believe that if

he was going to walk away,

he could've easily

just tied the dog up.

And so it wouldn't follow him.

But the dog was loose.

The other issue with the dog is,

why would he bring the

dog in the first place?

There's been thought

that perhaps the dog

could be useful to

him to alert him

in case anyone was approaching.

However, when you think that,

I think the dog would

be more of a detriment

in that regard.

The dog could bark at

any number of things.

And the dog could just as easily

cause his detection as

help him avoid detection.

I think he brought the dog,

because I loved the dog

more than his family.

- I think he led us right

where he wanted to lead us.

To a dead end near

Payson with his dog there

and his Raiders

cap in the truck,
