NBC’s “Dateline” has been chronicling shocking true-crime stories since its debut in 1992, shedding light on the very dark and twisted side of human nature with each episode. Episode 6 of season 31 is appropriately titled “Righteous Obsession” because it focuses on the terrible murder of North Carolina native Milton Henry “Little Mink” Sawyer Jr. in 2018. Now, if you’re interested in learning more about the same, we’ve got you covered with information on the events themselves, the investigations into them, the people responsible, and the fallout that ensued.

How Did Milton Sawyer Die?

At 55 years old, Milton Henry “Little Mink” Sawyer Jr. appeared to have it all together in the 1800 block of Darian Drive, Elizabeth City.

Suddenly, everything was taken from him. The man who ran the successful Treasure Hunter antique shop on North Road Street was also devoted to his blended family and involved in the neighborhood. That’s why on the morning of August 2nd, 2018, everyone in tiny Pasquotank County seaside village was rocked to their core by the news that he had died in the worst possible way.

Angel Sawyer, Milton’s wife, was the first to raise the alarm when she went bloodied to the door of their neighbor and screamed that intruders had broken in and attacked them. The police arrived quickly, but found the couple’s bedroom ransacked and Milton laying face down in the bathroom with his hands taped behind his back. In this case, unfortunately, CPR was unsuccessful. The official autopsy quickly reached the conclusion that Milton had been strangled to death, with “asphyxia” caused by “severe neck injuries.”

Who Killed Milton Sawyer?

The circumstances under which Milton was discovered, in addition to Angel’s severe head injury and evident signs of struggle, lent credence to the claim of a botched heist. The key to the back door (through which the alleged attacker entered) was left out in the open, and the fact that the house was partly unlocked added credence to the story. However, Angel, Milton’s wife of about six years, and her devoted boyfriend Isaac Dustin Melcher plotted his death so that the two of them might be together permanently.

After being injured, Angel said police she and her husband had been watching TV when she got up to get a snack and ran into the intruder. According to the recorded interview, she described the attacker as “having a gun, having a mask, and just yelling.” He used a lot of profanity. Get down on the floor and give me all your money, he yelled. The woman, who was 45 at the time, said the man had been specifically aiming for them because he knew they owned Treasure Hunter, but instead he had ended up strangling Milton and pistol-whipping her.

Even though Angel’s explanation for keeping a spare key was reasonable, since they have seven combined children (two of whom still live at home), skepticism quickly emerged. There were reports that she was an extreme narcissist having an affair with her married physical therapist, Isaac, and the key was easily accessible to everyone. It didn’t take long to get close to the latter. Despite the fact that Isaac had admitted to being separated from his wife, he strongly denied the relationship.

Isaac was unable to provide authorities with his phone as proof of his story. Isaac stated he was in Walmart buying a replacement cell phone at the time of the murder because he had accidentally destroyed his cell phone by spilling water on it. Since the store’s CCTV footage disproved the 38-year-statements, old’s police acquired a search order for his home and all of his possessions.

Isaac’s surprise departure to Oregon to see his mother was discovered by the police, and everything worked out for the best when he confessed to an old acquaintance there. To his credit, his pal told the authorities about it and even volunteered to be wired in order to provide more details. It turned out that Angel had informed her boyfriend that her husband was not just jealous but also domineering, and that she could never leave on her own. According to the papers, Angel also insisted that she could only be free once Milton had died.

Therefore, Angel and Isaac began plotting to murder him, and on August 2, 2018, while they were home alone, they carried out their plan successfully, rendering them both criminally responsible. On that fateful night, Isaac allegedly slapped his girlfriend to make it appear like she was assaulted as well, but since the blow wasn’t severe enough, she hit her head on a table to make it bleed. As a result, on August 21, 2018, both were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy.

Having both denied their romance by this point, Angel and Isaac were formally booked into the county jail without bond. In 2021, Angel went to trial for the same thing, and her ex-boyfriend ended up being the prosecution’s star witness, resulting to an easy conviction. However, in November 2021, Isaac was able to plead guilty to the lower conviction of second-degree murder due to his subsequent cooperation.
