(NECN: Jennifer Eagan) - This is the video documenting the final hours of Jennifer Hawke Petit's life.
She was forced to withdraw thousands of dollars from a Cheshire, Connecticut bank before being murdered alongside her daughters. That new video is some of the newly released evidence in the trial of Steven Hayes.
He's one of two men charged in that deadly Cheshire home invasion.
Jurors in the case heard the 911 call from a bank manager who was one of the last people to see Jennifer Hawek-Petit alive.
The bank manager describes a remarkably calm Petit coming into the Bank of America and telling the employee behind the counter about the situation she was in. Prosecutors say outside the bank, one of the suspects was waiting in a vehicle to take her back to her Cheshire home.
While inside, Petit withdrew $15,000 of ransom money. This surveillance video was released during Hayes' trial yesterday. Investigators say while this was going on, another suspect was back at the Petit family home holding the Petit daughters, Michela and Hayley, hostage.

Dr. William Petit, the only family member to survive the ordeal, had been beaten and was tied up in the basement of the home.
Here's part of the call the bank manager made to Cheshire police just after 9 p.m. the morning of July 23, 2007.
The 9-1-1 call did trigger a response to the Petit home. Their actions were questioned during the trial yesterday. Police spent more than 20 minutes surveying the house and setting up a perimeter around it.
They said they had no idea what was going on inside and thought there were dealing with a hostage situation. As they would soon find out, the Petit women had been tortured and murdered.
