In the early morning hours of Sept. 22, 2020, when Laredo, Texas, police officer Gregorio De La Cruz walked inside the home on Canyon Oak Drive, his body camera was recording the emergency unfolding in front of him. I don't want to be sad anymore. Lord this is a lot for me, What is it that I want? JOEL PELLOT TEXT: We can do this with minimal lawyer intervention. It's too much money. JOEL PELLOT EMAIL: I am so sad I am hurting inside… … I just ask if you can pray for me ... tonight we are going to talk … Life is so unfair. MARIA MUÑOZ (cellphone video in the car with Joel Pellot): I want to know, what is it that you want me to do? MARIA MUÑOZ (cellphone video in the car with Joel Pellot): You walk out that door, we're getting a divorce.
At the top of the stairs, near the main bedroom, Joel Pellot dressed in teal surgical scrubs, was performing CPR on his wife Maria Muñoz. De La Cruz soon took over. I don't want my heart to hurt. All I really want to do is see change in him. #1 Move Forward!! I want to sit down with you to talk, w/o arguing. A heart to heart. My husband the man I love so much is causing me so much pain MARIA MUÑOZ (cellphone video in the car with Joel Pellot): What are the expectations you have on this -- this marriage? JOEL PELLOT: Alright fine, you got it (slams car door)
Erin Moriarty: What kind of shape was she in when you started giving her CPR? I don't want my mind to be in torture.
