ORLANDO, FLORIDA — At 1:45 a.m. on October 17, 2015, Sasha Samsudean was trying to get back to her condo after an evening out drinking with friends in downtown Orlando. Witnesses described her as being extremely intoxicated. Sasha shared an Uber with two other young women, back to her condo at Uptown Place. The two women, Julia Goff and Haley Messmore, were concerned about Sasha’s well-being, and waited as she tried to use the keypad to enter Uptown Place. Sasha did not have her key fob, key, ID, or phone, and she was unable to get in.
Before long, Stephen Duxbury, a security guard, approached the three women. They explained Sasha’s predicament and Duxbury advised that he could not let anyone into the building without proof that they were a resident, nor could he allow her to sleep on a couch in the lobby. As they continued to talk, a young male resident opened the door and allowed Sasha in. Instead of challenging her entry into the building, Duxbury continued talking with Goff and Messmore, who expressed their concern to Duxbury as to how Sasha would get into her unit without a key. The women eventually left for their own building.
In his statements to the police, Duxbury said that he then went looking for Sasha. The jury saw CCTV video that showed Sasha wandering around the inside of the building as she tried to find her apartment. The video showed Duxbury following her for at least thirty minutes. One eyewitness testified that Duxbury was trailing a short distance behind an obviously-intoxicated Sasha, rather than actually walking with her.
Duxbury later told police that Sasha, at some point, tried to enter her apartment by using a digital lock on her door, but she was not able to recall the code. She told him that her key fob was in her car, so Duxbury started to go with her to the garage. However, Duxbury related that Sasha suddenly recalled the code and headed back toward her apartment; Duxbury said he left her alone at that point. When he passed by her door later, he did not see her.
Sasha’s friends became concerned when they were unable to contact her and they called the police, who eventually agreed to do a well-being check. Although off-duty, Duxbury approached the police and Sasha’s friends, and stated that he knew who they were concerned about—before anybody told him whether the person was male or female, or her name.
Police gained access to Sasha’s apartment and entered. Initially, they saw no sign of a struggle or any criminal activity, but before long, they discovered Sasha, dead, in her bed, wrapped in a comforter. She smelled of bleach and there were signs around her consistent with somebody attempting to remove physical evidence.
Sasha’s shirt and bra had been ripped open in front. Her pants and underwear had been forcefully removed, leaving abrasions; those items of clothing were never recovered.(1) The medical examiner (“M.E.”) found evidence of blunt trauma to Sasha’s head, contusions on her upper body as though she had been repeatedly punched, defensive wounds on her arms, and other contusions and abrasions consistent with forceful restraint. There was no direct evidence of intercourse, but the M.E. discovered abrasions that were consistent with somebody attempting to have sex with Sasha.
The M.E. testified that Sasha’s cause of death was asphyxiation due to manual strangulation, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Duxbury completed his usual daily report, in which he mentioned his encounter with Sasha. He did not mention the length of time that he followed her around, nor report that he had removed bags of trash from an inside hallway. After being advised of his Miranda rights, Duxbury steadfastly maintained that he had never been in Sasha’s apartment. Investigators found a print from his right thumb in her bathroom and a print from his left thumb on the nightstand in her bedroom. Furthermore, his DNA was found on Sasha’s breasts.
There were shoeprints in Samsudean’s apartment, including several that generally matched a pair of shoes recovered from Duxbury’s home. A police technician searched Duxbury’s smartphone and determined that someone had done an internet search using that phone, trying to learn how to override a Kwikset digital lock—the type of lock on Sasha’s door. That search was performed around 5:00 a.m., which coincided with the ninety-minute time period during which Duxbury is not seen on any video, nor his location revealed by any other security-related patrol data.
(1) Security video showed Duxbury carrying bags of trash from the building into the garage where (a) his car was parked, and (b) a dumpster was located. It was unusual for security to remove trash from the building, and the length of time after Duxbury entered the garage led the State to suggest that Duxbury may have put the bags in his car and not in the dumptster.
Note: this audio was recently published elsewhere; the video has never been published.

I'm rewatching again..just love the detective softsoaping Duxbury 'saying I know ur an honorable man ' ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¼
2m in and me the lay person know he's guilty can only imagine what the examiner thought. Given a raise because im so good at my job. Did I tell you everyone thinks im good at my job?
This was so entertaining! I am on my second watch! This blabber mouth is too much.
When a man says “well it’s actually a combination of red, brown and blonde†when referring to his hair, he’s guilty as fuck. Lol
This dude is so fucking GUILTY man its obvious. He's so nervous and he can't hide it at all.
I'm not an investigator but the things I have learned about unrelated small talk had big ass RED FLAGS FLYING OUT OF HIS MOUTH. THIS MAN IS GUILTY OF SOMETHING HUMMMMM WONDER WHAT THAT IS???????
Excessive chatter about nothing is a sure fire sign of a very nervous/scared individual.
Is it just me or does this dude sound just like Chris Watts? Close your eyes and focus on his voice 😱😱😱😱Creepy 😱😱😱😱
Guilty always give up way too much information. Answer the question and move on. Nobody gives a shot that u don’t like the taste of beer. Or u tried tobacco when I were a kid and it wasn’t your thing. This dude just wants to send u to prison. Not learn your life story.
Will they consult a spirit medium next?
He's a low status guy desperately wanting to seem high status
Investigator: Amy prior major heart problems?
Suspect: I’ve had whooping cough
Investigator: …okay….
It’s like looking through a sheet of Saran Wrap.
Why do people still fall for junk science, like the poly?
Investigators looking on in the next room listening to him yabber on long before the test started: "yyyyep! He's lying!"
Of course his heart rates high Because he is guilty as fuck.
Another narcissist thinking is clever than everybody in the Room.
Another Chris W Thinking he is cleverer than a polygraph When he is only a beast Hopefully the death penalty is on the table for him .
Wow he was Only the janitor thinking he is a cop . I bet he tried to become a cop . Bet couldn't Because He was probably a convicted felon.
Such a great Channel ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘. Keep up the great work 💞🌻
Apple beer .is it not cider .. he never tried marijuana he don’t smoke cigs .he putting himself across like a stand up military guy .like Russell Williams he is a wrong un .a horrible human ,
This Polygraph examiner’s technique and explanation was fantastic ~ðŸ‘
The detective was very nonchalant about the whole test, relaxing the accused. Very good
The two times when the detective looked up into the camera was awesome. Steven failed miserably (with the exception of his name n whr he lives)…he even failed the intelligence question at the end. In Stevens world 31×7= 218 and he said that with his whole chest 🤦â€â™€ï¸
Cause of death: a chair.
I don't know why but I'm really gassy right now??? 🤣🤣 That's called nerves slick🤦â€â™€ï¸
This pos makes me 🤮 That poor innocent lady had no idea that he was gonna do what he did ….. So very sad 😪
The interviewer is so disinterested in his little spiel about his bs job 😑
When he asked "do you know who caused Sasha's death" at 1:45:54, and of course he said "no", did the examiner look up at the camera to signal the detectives at 1:46:04? Kinda interesting…
Kids, ALWAYS ask for attorney and don't take polygraph tests.
None of this was necessary. They had his fingerprints in her apartment, they had his DNA on her body. Had they just done the physical evidence tests first instead of this polygraph nonsense they could have arrested him immediately.
These detectives are so good at there job and have the patience of an animal hunting their pray
But unfortunately they weren’t able to break this man
What do you think Jeremy Dewitte would nickname this guy if he was an employee?
