Here is a preview of Mankiewicz's report: Most people never know when their last day on earth will come. For Jamie Faith, it was a sunny morning in Dallas while walking his dog, Maggie. JENNIFER SVELAN: I woke up and I checked our Cliff Ladies Club page and Smash Da Topic was reporting that there had been a shooting. Cyrus Cezar, better known as Smash Da Topic, was the first reporter on the scene. SMASH DA TOPIC: How would somebody know these people walking they dog every day? Dallas PD homicide detective Chris Walton was wondering the same thing. CHRIS WALTON: He was shot three times in the head, three times in the chest and one time in the groin. JOSH MANKIEWICZ: That does not feel like a robbery. That feels like something else. MARIA GUERRERO: It was overkill to me. To me, it was very personal. JOSH MANKIEWICZ: And then, what you find after that, I'm pretty sure you've never seen before. RICK CALVERT: No. The case takes a dramatic twist.
