75. 3:07eign
76. 3:17how long have you guys been married not
77. 3:20even a year
78. 3:23this is tragic
79. 3:25is there anybody you could think of that
80. 3:28would want to do this to it who's
81. 3:30probably the officers we've had problems
82. 3:32already and of course he's been trying
83. 3:35to get off probation and it's just been
84. 3:38nothing but problems the whole time that
85. 3:41he's been trying to get off
86. 3:43um
87. 3:45people who weren't happy that he was
88. 3:47getting off probation because it's a lot
89. 3:48of money he's got to pay back what would
90. 3:50you say people who are you talking about
91. 3:52people that were involved with him
92. 3:54before or a little bit of everything
93. 3:56this was supposed to be something when
94. 3:58he got off probation it was supposed to
95. 3:59be between us and he went and he told
96. 4:01you know friends of his he told you know
97. 4:03certain people and everyone kind of
98. 4:05talks and he's constantly running into a
99. 4:07lot of the guys that he was on probation
100. 4:09with like a couple days ago we ran into
101. 4:11someone
102. 4:12and that was
103. 4:14a Target I mean you know and the guy
104. 4:16comes up to us and he's liquid organized
105. 4:18crime it seems like a lot of the guys
106. 4:19from Boca are starting to move up here
107. 4:21and we're constantly running into you
108. 4:24know what I mean a lot of the guys that
109. 4:25he he knows and things like that
110. 4:28so there's a lot of money it was a
111. 4:30hundred and ninety one thousand dollars
112. 4:32because then he had to pay back so we
113. 4:36were gonna go ahead and he had the money
114. 4:37to pay off the probation and everything
115. 4:40like that and then I guess somehow when
116. 4:42he went away some guys didn't go away
117. 4:45they left right he went to prison right
118. 4:48okay they left the country and so
119. 4:51somehow he was dealing with some of
120. 4:53those guys because they thought that he
121. 4:56owed them and
122. 4:57I don't know something with that that he
123. 5:00was taking care of so the money that he
124. 5:02used to get off of probation he never
125. 5:05well he never he never said it he did
126. 5:08something else with that with that money
127. 5:10now do you know any of these people
128. 5:11their names or anything like that or
129. 5:13where they may live so that we may be
130. 5:15able to follow it up we're not gonna
131. 5:16We're Not Gonna implicate you the guys
132. 5:19that last I don't know yeah you don't

155. 6:10he ran into one of these guys and the
156. 6:12guy he thought he owed him something or
