Watching "Suspicion" on Dateline. I would say that the recorded voice wasn't Chris's. Put a gotte and wig on David Novak and you have the guy pulling the trigger

Why wasn't there a "voiceprint" performed on the voice-mail tape? Or is that just something that you see on "T.V.?" It would seem that "forensic science" WOULD be able to determine if it WAS the convicted man--or NOT!

Honestly, am I the only sane person left that can obviously tell that the voice on the phone and the voice of the accused do not! I expected more investigative reporting from dateline to help prove the accused innocent as he is not going to get a fair shake from a district attorney bent on making the pieces fit around the accused.

Clearly the voice mail was obviously not the accused, the pitch left on the voice mail is VERY different. Listen to the low pitch and the crackyness, and why didn"t they look into the neighbor? If there are thousands of people willing to pay a hitman $5000 less or more why wouldnt they look into someone that has publicly been given $1.8 million!!! If thats not enough where's the documentry has anyone seen it? Has any producer, camera man, manuiscript, where's the movie even a rough draft. Where did the neighbor go? And did anyone notice that there were social gatherings, had any of those taken place at their apt. or had the neighbor been in their apt. There too many loose strings to of been given a guilty decision. Just like police loss of custody in a murder case that is very important. Espically if they're neighbors. I feel that there should be an investigation granted or at least an appeal.

I would have to say that the voice on that voicemail sounded absolutely nothing like Chris. If you can tell there's such an extreme difference in voice just by listening I'm sure someone who's trained to listen to those sorts of things would quickly be able to tell that, that voicemail was left by someone else. The Police should be looking for Novak, it sounds to me like there's an awful lot more evidence pointing towards him.

It's pretty easy to tell that the voice mail is not the same voice that was on the phone, you don't need forensic to hear that. Sometimes the jury gets it wrong (eg: Cassie Anthony) I hope Ken's family get the justice they deserve, but with what I watched I would'nt put a man in jail for a day had I been in the jury box and heard the differences in the voices, they clearly are different. Hope they get the real murderer. I'm sure the police are convinced they have the killer already and, hope all who put this man in jail can sleep at night? Only my opinion.

Justice was not served!!!!!!!Investigators just put another notch in their belt...an innocent man is in prison while the man who committed the perfect murder walks/lives freely.I'm sure the Utah Police Department,the lead detective,and Novak all continue to sleep soundly at night.What goes around comes around at some point...Kharma.

The voice on the voicemail was not Chris' voice! Good grief what kind of amateurs investigated the case. It was so neatly set for Chis to take the fall.

Definite the voices are not the same -- tone, inflection, accents. Why did Wright's defense attorney not have voice analysis performed on the recording as part of his client's defense? It would seem his attorney was negligent, or not well-versed in defending clients on murder charges. Unbelievable, that a person is in prison when so much was brought in question regarding his wife alibing him, and witnesses that his Springfield 9 mm was lost months prior to -- and Casey Anthony was acquitted with so much evidence against. It seems the justice system, and jurors' decisions based on reasonable doubt, seem to vary state by state, city by city. Sad!

His voice on the phone during the interview did NOT sound like the voice on the voice mail!

That was not him on the voice mail. Anyone that would really listen to the tape and Chris on the phone could tell that was not him. The voice on the voice mail is much deeper. Chris is innocent. Novak will get what he deserves.

I dont believe that the voicemail is Chris's. It DOESNT sound anything like him!!!

The witness is ridiculous! He checked Chris out online (after he was arrested) and his description became more clear . . . He also said the shooter took the gun out with his right hand. Chris is left handed. Chris sounds nothing like "Robert" on the voice mail. The other guy interviewed sounded more like "Robert" and looked a lot like Chris - did they check his fingerprints and alibi? I don't think Chris had a motive either. Ken was about to help him, wasn't he? Hope I never have to be in Utah when something goes sideways . . . they might try to pin it on me!

I watch this show all of the time and it is not often that I am shocked like I was with that outcome. It was clearly not the same voice at all. I really feel sorry for the man sitting in prison for something that he didn't do. I hope they are still investigating the other person. I noticed the tram in the background giving his location even though the city was not named.

That phoney voice mail on the victim's cell phone would have had a traceable number like any cell phone. See if it came from Chris' phone. If not, what number did it come from? Also, check Chris' cell to see if he ever made the call to the victims phone. That info can be easily gotten from the phone company. I never heard that mentioned in the report.

In this case you have to follow the money. Q. Who had a strong monetary motivation to see Doleczar dead?

A. His stepkids seeing as he was spending their inheiritance while their mom was in Jail.

What would cause a man with no record like Wright to kill Doleczar? Lots of money.

Who had lots of money? The stepkids.

Who connects the stepkid's money to Wright? Novak.

But seeing as Novak is missing the only one the police have leverage over is Wright. The police must offer Wright a deal to testify against the stepkid(s).

All this depends on the deal Wright had with Novak. Did he a)get the money upfront and b)know where the money was coming from? If was smart he did both. If he was stupid and killed Dolczar on the simple promise of payment later from Novak then he deserves to rot in Jail for life. On the other hand if his wife is holding the cash and hoping he gets out on appeal later then perhaps he will be open to a deal after any appeal is denied.

My gut feeling is Wright had half a brain and wouldn't have agreed to kill Doleczar without a substantial upfront payment from the Novak. As to whether he knew the ultimate source of the money, maybe not.

I grew up in Sandy, Utah. Sandy is normally a peaceful, quiet suburb. It is a place you would want to raise a family. I have a few comments about law enforcement in Utah versus other places. I've traveled extensively and lived in some big cities. In Miami, you can't get the cops to respond unless someone is about to shoot you (no joke!). In Las Vegas you can commit minor traffic infractions without much worry because they have much bigger fish to fry. In Utah we don't have enough problems so law enforcement has to zealously respond to minor ones. That's why you can see the reaction when a murder investigation--something major-- occurs.

People are wrongfully imprisoned all the time. Don't think this just happens in Utah. I don't believe the Sandy police set out to frame Chris. If we believe the cloak and dagger plot the only thing the Sandy Police did was plant a shell casing. If we accept the planted shell casing hypothesis, it was just corroborating evidence to the surveillance video, the eye witness, the DNA, etc. If I were a juror I would ignore the shell casing because it doesn't make any sense that it would be brought back to the apartment! Seriously, who brings a shell casing back, but not the gun?? In fact, the shell casing's existence makes me believe it was planted because there was no reason for it to be there. A gun expert may claim it was there as part of a test firing by the manufacturer. If he fired the gun, I think he would have disposed of the casings. As I said, it really doesn't matter though.

I am highly disappointed in Dateline's story. Dateline could have and most definitely should have conducted its own voice analysis. Next, Dateline should have fully investigated Chris's defense. Let's assume the shell casing was planted. Why didn't Dateline more fully investigate the supposed DNA of the mystery sample? Was it Novak? Why didn't Dateline test it? This story should have tried to poke more holes in the prosecution. It was trying to be neutral. It was trying to give equal weight to both sides of the story. A criminal prosecution is NOT a preponderance of the evidence! It is beyond all reasonable doubt. This story should have shown the cloak and dagger scenario could have happened.

The truth, many times, is not black or white. It's somewhere in the middle. The evidence is just too much for Wright to claim he knows nothing about what happened. I just read through every news article on this story. Parts of Wright's story seem suspect to me. I believe he knows more than he is revealing, but I also think there is reasonable doubt.

I feel something else was going on that hasn't been revealed. If I were on the jury I would have said, "I can't convict this man until I see a forensic voice analysis of the recording and I see a DNA report for the mystery DNA sample. I have reasonable doubt until my questions are satisfied."

THe problem with a criminal trial is that it's not interactive with a jury. It's presented evidence only. A grand jury gets to ask questions while a trial jury does not. I think that's not a good system. Juries should be able to ask questions and demand answers. They should be able to ask for a forensic voice analysis and for the mystery DNA to be identified.

I have looked at some of the stories about the case in the local press. In one story, there seems to be reference to Novak investing in Wright's business shortly after the murder. I do not know if this is true but if it is it certainly suggests a line of inquiry. I found Wright's wife very credible but there seem to be a number of pieces of evidence pointing in his direction. The whole thing with the lost gun, shell casing sounds suspicious - I doubt that the police would plant the casing and, if not, then the "lost" gun is the murder weapon which is too much of a coincidence. But maybe Novak planted the shell casing. I guess Novak lives in Portland Oregon based on the bus that passed in the background during the video of Novak. There also is a weird blog that talks about some hockey team that the victim was involved in and implies that the folks who coached it were investigated and dismissed from their jobs. A very strange case - I am haunted by Wright's wife - she seems very credible but maybe that's because she is English.

Definitely does NOT sound like Chris at all!!!

BUT, could it be possible that a voice changer has been used?

What about the people who worked that day at the cellphone store, did they get a chance to see the "real" Chris, to compare if that one on the surveillance video could only be a look-alike?

And for Chris to supposedly put on a wig, meet the victim, and NOT be recognized so he could pull the trigger?? Come on!!!

The voice on the message does not sound anything like Chris Wright. And that eyewitness seems like a total kook. I cannot believe the case even went to trial, let alone that it got a conviction. Justice was definitely not served.

Portland, Or. needs to keep a watch for David Novak, consultant to the convicted. How ironic!

The voice on the recording did not sound anything like the voice of Chris. The phone voice recording and the voices of both Novak and Chris need to be subjected to forensic analysis. This should be an ongoing investigation.

I believe the evidence just is not there to convict Chris Wright of murder. Even the witness had a changing description. It's pretty scary to have a jury listen to what we just listened to and come up with a totally opposite conclusion! I hope this man has people who will come along side and help him out in this unjust conviction! Life is short enough without sitting in prison being wrongfully convicted!

I don't know who is guilty first and foremost and it is a shame so many folks here feel the KNOW Chris is innocent because of an hour long Dateline show. Do you really think in a 60 minute commercial laden show you got all the facts of the case to KNOW who did and did not do what? Please... grow up already.

My guess is Chris killed Ken after being hired by Novak. Did I miss something from the show or did some of you? I thought Dateline said the manufacture of the gun or bullets fired a bullet from the lot and they used that bullet to analyze it from a shell at the crime scene and they matched the shells, unspent shells found in the gun case.

The VM did not sound like Chris no question however this does not mean Chris did not alter his voice on the call.. ever think of that? Geeze..so many Sheeple around here. It is also possible his lawyers did not analyze the voices because he felt they would have matched. That makes more sense than to save a few grand and risking prison time for his client.

Lost a gun.. hard to believe that one. Maybe he is innocent but not likely and certainly Dateline did not show enough to make anything clear to anyone and if you believe otherwise you are a true Sheeple and have zero ability at critical thinking and you should never ever vote.
