- 0:50aside um we're not here for what you
- 0:53might think we might be here for well
- 0:55they they didn't know what this this a
- 0:57computer on I was like I didn't know how
- 0:58a computer room without
- 1:01computers
- 1:02exactly so you remember um I talked to
- 1:05you Tammy talked to you Dave talked to
- 1:07you we're all Colorado um and so the
- 1:11last time we talked to you was a
- 1:12different situation right um our
- 1:14investigation was open and your case was
- 1:15open um that's completely different now
- 1:18so your case is completely closed
- 1:21nothing about what we're going to talk
- 1:22about today is has anything to do with
- 1:24an open investigation so we're not here
- 1:27to get more charges on you or
- 1:30get any statements from you that are
- 1:32going to jam you up anymore right that's
- 1:34all done so all of our cases are closed
- 1:37and the core cases closed so there's
- 1:39nothing that we're going to talk about
- 1:40today that's going to get you to any
- 1:41type of more trouble at all um and so
- 1:45that's how I wanted to make sure you
- 1:46knew that's not why we're here okay um
- 1:49but why we are here so um so three of us
- 1:53work from three different agencies right
- 1:56quite a bit different um CBI FBI and
- 1:58Frederick different goals and um the
- 2:02things that happened with you kind of
- 2:04all brought us together and as the
- 2:06months have passed on since everything
- 2:08happened we just keep in touch with each
- 2:10other we keep talking to each other and
- 2:12we've all separately kind of said um did
- 2:16Chris seem unique to you me and Tammy
- 2:19have talked about this Dave and I have
- 2:20talked about this did Chris's situation
- 2:22seem different to you and we keep having
- 2:25that conversation we can't quite put our
- 2:26finger on it right um we think that your
- 2:30life leading up to all the things that
- 2:32happened uh were very interesting to us
- 2:34and for me personally I don't know if
- 2:37you remember but one of the last things
- 2:38you told me was hey Graham I'm sorry
- 2:40that I started lying to you um and that
- 2:42stuck with me for the last couple months
- 2:44it's been riged in my head right um I've
- 2:47never ever worked a case like this where
- 2:49someone went at ever um you know and so
- 2:52as I walked away I thought Chris is
- 2:55different Chris is a little bit unique
- 2:57in that regard um so in talking with
- 3:01Tammy and talking with Dave um I said
- 3:04you know what did you feel like when it
- 3:06all went down when we were there we were
- 3:07talking to you guys and we all kind of
- 3:10in our own different way and in our own
- 3:11different wording said it all happened a
- 3:13bit too quick for us right um so we saw
- 3:16you last we were talking and talking and
- 3:18talking um about your family about your
- 3:21parents about everyone and then the next
- 3:23thing you know for me and Tammy and for
- 3:25Dave all of a sudden some Patrol
- 3:26officers came in and arrested um and
- 3:29that way was Far quicker than we had
- 3:31hoped it would happen um and you
- 3:33understand why that happened and we
- 3:34understand why that happened but it left
- 3:36us with a thousand questions that we
- 3:37didn't get to ask um and then even more
- 3:40importantly I think it probably left you
- 3:42with a thousand things that you didn't
- 3:44get to talk about us I don't know if you
- 3:46feel that way or not but um and so
- 3:49that's why we're here today um we wanted
- 3:51to kind of talk to you a little bit more
- 3:53about everything you know um I think
- 3:57there's a lot of things that you didn't
- 3:58get to talk about um and
- 4:02so you know that's why we're here
- 4:07um and it sticks with me that to this
- 4:10day there's not one person that's told
- 4:12me I saw it coming I knew Chris was like
- 4:15that I knew it not one person so it's
- 4:19just it's it's interesting to me right
- 4:21not not one um so we want to talk a
- 4:24little bit about that some of the people
- 4:26that we work with uh your family shenan
- 4:30family um have said you know if you get
- 4:33to talk to Chris would you tell him
- 4:34something things for so we have that to
- 4:36talk about today and it's good I think
- 4:37you'll like it I think it will give you
- 4:38some closure um and so really that's why
- 4:41we're
- 4:43here are you available to talk to us
- 4:45yeah definitely okay all
- 4:48right so off the bat if you have any
- 4:50questions just tell us okay if there's
- 4:53something that you don't want to talk
- 4:55about that's okay um would I press you a
- 4:58little bit okay we might say well do you
- 5:01mind if we just maybe then ask one
- 5:02question um if something makes you
- 5:04uncomfortable to STS um if we need to
- 5:06take any B breaks take bath andom
- 5:08breaks uh you know for anything like
- 5:11that and we'll take bath and breaks and
- 5:12water breaks ourselves too um so then is
- 5:17there anything about your schedule today
- 5:18that makes it that you can't talk to us
- 5:21no that this there's like a pass for
- 5:23this and the am and the
- 5:25PM yeah they reserve the room the whole
- 5:27day just that's just what they do okay I
- 5:30didn't know was like 2 second or
- 5:31something I think you have to go back
- 5:33for lunch to get um counted for or
- 5:35something accounted for yeah I think
- 5:371130 like 11
- 5:4111 so in general how is it here it's a
- 5:45lot different Colorado is it bad that's
- 5:48better I think because I mean it's here
- 5:51I'm actually around other people me
- 5:53Colorado it was just like I was
- 5:55segregated and it was like pounding on
- 5:57the walls on the ier just

- 6:02telling me like how I should kill myself
- 6:04like what they're going to do to me just
- 6:06like my it was today this this is a lot
- 6:09different cuz I mean people here don't
- 6:11seem
- 6:12to it's not they don't care but it's
- 6:15just kind of like they they don't take
- 6:17they don't like judge you as soon as you

- 7:35like a doll somebody's number they have
- 7:36to have like a phone account set up oh

- 7:44look talk like family members and
- 7:45parents all yeah my mom and dad my
- 7:47sister okay good is that a good thing
- 7:50that's a good
- 7:51thing yeah they don't hear from me like
- 7:53it what's wrong good how is it with them
- 7:57so far so good yeah yeah it was uh it
- 8:01was hard to hear your parents and
- 8:03sentencing yeah I didn't know if they
- 8:05were going to what they were going to
- 8:07say MH so yeah and so yeah I really
- 8:13appreciate what they said I don't know
- 8:14about you I definitely was uh I didn't
- 8:17expect them to be there I know they were
- 8:18there on the 6th six but I didn't expect
- 8:22them to fly back and they wanted to fly
- 8:24back to that yeah and then while your
- 8:26mom said MH definely
- 8:29good um well so we have a thousand
- 8:33questions I'm sure you do too you care
- 8:35if we start or do do you have any
- 8:37questions for us go ahead all right so
- 8:40one of the things that we're battling
- 8:42with is um and I I should I won't make
- 8:44any assumptions today so are you aware
- 8:47that this was a national story after
- 8:50after a little while was I didn't talk
- 8:52to my parents while I was in Colorado
- 8:54okay cuz I mean my ter team told me all
- 8:56right no phone calls no letters no
- 8:59nothing so like I made I made one phone
- 9:02call when I was in the segregation area
- 9:04there but my dad didn't thought it was
- 9:07like somewhat like a news tring to call
- 9:10so he didn't answer yeah so he didn't
- 9:12answer but other than that okay I didn't
- 9:15talk to anybody but from what the some
- 9:19of the deputies were saying that you
- 9:20know for my attorney them coming in said
- 9:22you know this is like they got people
- 9:25from Australia England and all kinds of
- 9:26people trying to figure out what's going
- 9:28on so did they send you any you any the
- 9:30letters like fan mail or anything well
- 9:33um I got letters but I couldn't keep
- 9:34them like it with me so like I could
- 9:36read and let on my hour out but it's
- 9:38like you know I got a bunch of letters
- 9:41that had no address stuff that was just
- 9:44you
- 9:45know not not very good letters yeah so
- 9:48okay they came from a weird perspective
- 9:51didn't they from what we have heard
- 9:52definitely there was there was one
- 9:54person I guess from romfield that was
- 9:55like riding like four times a week
- 9:57trying to come visit me and then there
- 9:58was just a lot of people like right that
- 10:00like Le through markers saying know like
- 10:02you're a monster all kinds
- 10:05of
- 10:07Stu well I don't we're going to talk
- 10:10about some hard issues today but I don't
- 10:12intend to take you to a dark place today
- 10:14okay um I hope that when we're done
- 10:16you'll feel better I hope it'll be
- 10:18therapeutic um we're going to talk about
- 10:21obviously um what happens with your
- 10:23family so that's going to be hard to
- 10:25talk about I appreciate anything you can
- 10:27tell me about it um if you need to take
- 10:29time out if you need to get a tissue
- 10:31that's fine right um I think it'll be
- 10:33very good for you it'll be good for us
- 10:36and so one of the reasons that's about
- 10:38that national attention is um we were
- 10:40aware that you were getting a lot of
- 10:42letters um a lot of interest and then us
- 10:46personally as law enforcement we got so
- 10:49many people who claim to have known you
- 10:51claim to have been with you dated you
- 10:55slept with you and 99 of 100 they were
- 10:59just crazy people right um and so maybe
- 11:02that's a good place to start um had you
- 11:05heard about any of there uh John while
- 11:07she told me about uh one some dude from
- 11:12Wyoming yeah that guy that that my mind
- 11:16I was like and who told you right now
- 11:19turnning John oh okay yeah um we talk
- 11:23about him gram and I interviewed him you
- 11:27had to Wast our Liv yes so Trent in
- 11:30summary Trent came in and said um met
- 11:33you online on a dating app um had a few
- 11:37you know uh casual but quick sexual
- 11:40encounters with you um and and let me be
- 11:43very clear not only are we not here to
- 11:45jam you up today we're also not here to
- 11:46judge you um and if there is anything
- 11:49like that you can imagine we've heard
- 11:51way worse way different you know so um
- 11:54if it's true I hope that you can just
- 11:56casually say yeah I mean this happened
- 11:57it wasn't as bad as he said that maybe
- 11:59this happen so his story was um met
- 12:03online met you and it was a time when
- 12:07you were uh experimenting with maybe met
- 12:11and so he said he met a couple times met
- 12:13his friends went to an apartment I had a
- 12:16couple of meetings in a parking lot and
- 12:18that was basically it any of that sound
- 12:20familiar never okay all right yeah he

- 12:26your girls like the whole nine yards so
- 12:31I never been to while driv up there to
- 12:34see some yeah um and so this is maybe a
- 12:37weird question for you uh do you have
- 12:40any uh gay experience no okay any
- 12:44interest no okay never had a Time
- 12:46experimented Wonder no okay is it
- 12:49possible that he found you instead of

- 12:57even have that app okay never got me had

- 14:50the cold that was
- 14:54it as these people have come out for the
- 14:57most part we've not given their story as
- 15:00much credit they have just created
- 15:01people who want attention um and so but
- 15:07when that does happen it does make us
- 15:09think um you know there may have been
- 15:12others so nio was the only one that was
- 15:14the only one was there ever like a one
- 15:16night stand with someone else just out
- 15:17of blue and one and done no okay all

- 15:26the things we never really got to ask
- 15:27you about right we didn't talk K on and
- 15:30you know talked about where the girls
- 15:31were but so what happened there so it
- 15:34was probably around probably June 1st or
- 15:38something that's when I first met her
- 15:40and um it was just like a work
- 15:42conversation she messed with the gas
- 15:43meters that know out the field and I
- 15:47messing up and then I took a door like

- 15:52I fix it you know after that you know we
- 15:55just ran into each other a few times in
- 15:57the office and I think it was probably
- 15:59the fourth time meeting um she asked me
- 16:02cuz like when I we were popping back and
- 16:04forth I would say uh you know like we
- 16:07moved here from Colorado from North
- 16:09Carolina stuff like that and then she
- 16:11was like what's all this weed stuff like
- 16:13took off my phone show picture like what
- 16:16my girl's on the phone it's like oh okay
- 16:18like like yeah like I don't wear I
- 16:20didn't wear a ring work cuz I got s off

- 16:26fingers lost weight yeah it was lit like
- 16:28I was out in the snow one time I went
- 16:30like that ring went off on the Rocks so
- 16:33I was like I was panicking around the
- 16:34final like can't remember say anymore
- 16:37but um so after that she left me alone
- 16:39for a couple days then she text me
- 16:41outside the field and then after that we
- 16:44kept texting back and forth and it was
- 16:46just you know like you know like she

- 16:56then one day it just kind of went to to
- 16:58a different different level and then I
- 17:02never thought it would ever go to that
- 17:03level but she was talking about meeting

- 20:09way oh and are you not allowed to talk
- 20:12to her I I would that okay no one told
- 20:16you that then no I mean I would I would
- 20:18expect like
- 20:20uh I thought like Colorado was said like
- 20:22on a DC list if you're on like a victim
- 20:24list can't call anybody but here I'm not
- 20:27sure if I say I just talk to my sister
- 20:31parents some friends about
- 20:33parents do you wish you could talk to
- 20:36her maybe once just to just get some
- 20:39closure just to say like hey you
- 20:41know just
- 20:43once yeah say like I'm sorry this all
- 20:46happened I'm sorry I'm not sure like
- 20:48what happened like afterwards like what
- 20:50you went through like if you had like
- 20:52counseling if you're like you know
- 20:54different state if you had to leave
- 20:55everything behind I just just wanted to
- 20:58sorry that's something I saw prob
- 21:00happening wor I think somebody else
- 21:02could do would you be all right if we
- 21:05told her that that's fine do you want us
- 21:08to you want us to not to and if she
- 21:10would want you I'm not
- 21:13sure I'm sure she answered your phone
- 21:15call more than attorney phone call that
- 21:18she didn't want to go answer yeah I was
- 21:21here attorney tried to call her and she
- 21:23wouldn't
- 21:24answer yeah I remember I remember her
- 21:26phone number but uh after that they
- 21:29figured out I guess where she lived they
- 21:31left a call Bon's car there and she just
- 21:35pretty much after like the F to 10 they
- 21:37said she said
- 21:39stop yeah yeah I'm sure she's getting

- 21:52like like I'm just like mostly for her
- 21:56not since she's on the outside side but
- 21:59I'm hoping it can get that way at some
- 22:01point not sure if she had to leave

- 26:14felt like a great it was a great
- 26:15relationship everything was everything
- 26:17was great now you talking about with
- 26:20kinger no with and um like the first
- 26:24first year you know like and my parents
- 26:27never oh I don't know my mom was always
- 26:30kind of hesitant why I I was the baby I
- 26:34guess I
- 26:36never CU I never had a girlfriend in
- 26:38high school so it's got like she never
- 26:39like really saw me like oh interesting
- 26:42so she's kind of watching her baby walk
- 26:44out a little bit Yeah cuz I when I
- 26:45turned 18 I graduated I never moved back
- 26:48okay that that old so my sister moved
- 26:51back and forth all the time how old were
- 26:53you when you met shenan I was 25 was
- 26:5720110 so okay so no serious girlfriends
- 27:00before that no nothing more than like 6
- 27:04months or
- 27:06so yeah there was there was there was
- 27:08some girls here and there but just not
- 27:09the more like you know I the last
- 27:12girlfriend I had before and she was just
- 27:15actually got divorced and I should never
- 27:17been that but it was more of like a I
- 27:20was kind of like helping her get through
- 27:22her divorce it seemed like she went on
- 27:24somewh else like oh nice to know you're
- 27:27the rebound guy the rebound guy pretty
- 27:29much but how it goes would you say that
- 27:33in your relationships with women um it
- 27:36seems to me and you tell me if I'm wrong
- 27:38it seems to me like you're attracting
- 27:41maybe a more dominant
- 27:43personality it seemed like it because
- 27:45I'm more of the just reserved I mean I
- 27:48just kind of like go with the flow type
- 27:49yeah like usually made all the decisions
- 27:53seem like so I get that I'm saying yeah
- 27:56I don't know what it is
- 27:59yeah I don't think that's right with you
- 28:02but so then and I know it's hard to keep
- 28:06bouncing back and forth
- 28:09but and one of the reasons we're here is
- 28:12we just keep telling ourselves gra just
- 28:14does not fit the mold gra does not know
- 28:17like this this it just blowed us away
- 28:19what happened right and so we will do a
- 28:23little bit of bouncing back and forth
- 28:24and that's really just to get to know
- 28:25you a little bit better we never really
- 28:27know that
- 28:29pretty much twice you once yeah prob
- 28:32like three well remember three or four
- 28:34times
- 28:36probably so then with do you call her
- 28:39Nikki or Nicole I would call her Nikki
- 28:41okay I know there's some Nikki and
- 28:44Nicole's in this right I got confused so
- 28:47we'll call her
- 28:48Nikki so then Nikki was it different it
- 28:52just seemed like I was more in control
- 28:54it seem like and that never happened
- 28:57like she actually like asked me like
- 28:59like my opinion on a lot of things just
- 29:01like what I wanted to do and just kind
- 29:03like okay it was new wasn't it very new
- 29:07it's fascinating to me and so did it
- 29:10feel more like an equal partnership or
- 29:13seemed like it yeah okay so then when it
- 29:18was date night would you guys talk about
- 29:20it would you ask to go somewhere would
- 29:22she say I want to go somewhere was a bit
- 29:24too fast I you know the first time we
- 29:26went out it was a movie over at the
- 29:28orchard about 144th over there and I
- 29:32asked her like hey you want to go see
- 29:33this movie and like like yeah I'm like
- 29:35okay cool and we just we got there it
- 29:37was sold out and you know normally
- 29:39probably just have you know just wait
- 29:41two hours like you know just go home but
- 29:42not she just wanted to walk around just
- 29:44talk okay oh wow so that was that was
- 29:47different and you know think she wanted
- 29:49to go to the car museum Shel Museum and
- 29:53Boulder I never been there that's right
- 29:55up your alley meic I was just like that
- 29:57was awesome just to walk around cars for

- 30:28sandunes National Park and I never i'

- 30:43time like she need to clear her head she
- 30:44just go by herself this go somewhere oh
- 30:48but she's a completely new type of uh
- 30:50person and relationship [ __ ] yeah
- 30:53okay all
- 30:55right um

- 31:01like your head in the back of my head I
- 31:04was telling myself what are you doing
- 31:06like you know every time you know I open
- 31:08up my phone I could see pictures like my
- 31:12wife and my kids and just like what am I
- 31:14doing and then like every time I was
- 31:16with her it seemed
- 31:17like didn't think it seemed like it was
- 31:21like like a Blinder that was on my face
- 31:23oh and just like every time I look back
- 31:26on it like you know like I have pictures
- 31:28of My Wife and Kids and myself and like
- 31:31every night you know or every morning
- 31:33every night you know I just you know
- 31:35talk to him you know say like like I
- 31:37have like this
- 31:39book uh I used to read for CCE and I I
- 31:43remember that book so I read that to to
- 31:46them like every
- 31:47night and like there's some scripture
- 31:49and stuff that I read to them so just
- 31:51try to you know just try to think back
- 31:53like I
- 31:55was I I could wish that Blinder wouldn't
- 31:58on my head right in my eyes that would
- 32:00have seen what was going on like you
- 32:02know I was
- 32:03having everybody said your out out there
- 32:05having fun while your kids you know are
- 32:07kids and wife are on vacation I'm just
- 32:09like
- 32:10no it wasn't like that but it seemed
- 32:12like that's what it look like when
- 32:14you're going you know you're going to
- 32:17Camping going to drag race going all
- 32:19this other stuff that you have fun doing
- 32:21with somebody else it's not good family
- 32:23just didn't seem
- 32:24right you know with her it just didn't
- 32:26seem like I a see that
- 32:28anymore I was there at her house pretty
- 32:30much every night so it was like I didn't
- 32:32have that time at home just
- 32:35to think about anything cuz literally I
- 32:38didn't like I was only at home from like
- 32:41when I got home from work I worked out I
- 32:44ate dinner and then I went over else
- 32:48like I was never I never slept in my
- 32:50house like the whole month of July now
- 32:54talking through that though when you
- 32:55said you went home and then you were at
- 32:57her house was I watch now was gone oh
- 32:59okay so you weren't even at your house
- 33:01no this all happened so quickly didn't
- 33:03it it it was insane quickly like I
- 33:06didn't like she even told me like she
- 33:07was never in like a normal relationship
- 33:10she would never had somebody over her
- 33:12house like more than like once or twice
- 33:13a week but she felt like she wanted me
- 33:16over there and that she felt comfortable
- 33:18over there so like that's what it was
- 33:20different like she wanted to there
- 33:24but then I just wish all that
- 33:27go away I just wish I almost like I I
- 33:31know it's hard to I know it's wrong to
- 33:32say I wish i' never met somebody but I
- 33:34wish I you know maybe met her at work
- 33:36and then it's kept it that
- 33:38way I think we had a time machine I
- 33:42don't think this would happen again CU
- 33:44some people when this happens you're
- 33:45like well if it wasn't this time it
- 33:47would have been next time or it would
- 33:48have been the next time this just
- 33:49wouldn't have happen with you would
- 33:50it it happen so quickly
- 33:54that you tell me if I'm wrong
- 33:57you're not the type of guy to take
- 34:01control sometimes when you need to yeah
- 34:03it seems like that's just what happen I
- 34:05didn't I didn't take control of the
- 34:06situation I just like situation control
- 34:08of me right it just
- 34:11happened I get that man I'm somewhat
- 34:13passive myself and it's like you know
- 34:15there's situations I'm like why did I
- 34:17let that keep going no I don't know why
- 34:20I was like it like a roller coaster ride
- 34:23that I just kept punching the ticket on
- 34:25and never get up
- 34:30yeah can we talk about the hardest
- 34:34subject
- 34:36um so when we were talking the last time
- 34:39we talked um the last thing we talked
- 34:42about was where the girls were we never
- 34:45really got to talk about that
- 34:48night what
- 34:51happened so nothing really happened that
- 34:53night it was in the morning and you know
- 34:57me and Shan she got home like at
- 35:012:00 and uh you know I felt into the
- 35:06bed
- 35:08and I just s like I really I just make
- 35:12sure I look my on 2:00 make sure she
- 35:14look right she's in there and I kind of
- 35:16feel her kind of saring around a little
- 35:18bit oh she I I just had a feeling that
- 35:21she knew like what was going on I mean
- 35:24obviously I didn't like like I gift card
- 35:27you know that I got and i' used my
- 35:29actual credit card and I I kind of just
- 35:33felt like something she knew it was hold
- 35:35on and she uh she started rubbing her
- 35:39hand on me and we ended up having sex
- 35:41but uh uh I guess that was more like a
- 35:44test oh I would have thought interesting
- 35:48okay yeah because when we talked the
- 35:51when I woke up for later on in the
- 35:53morning like you know I I pretty much
- 35:56you know told her like you know I didn't
- 35:57think it was going to work
- 35:59anymore and she was like what Happ what
- 36:01was last night you know that test after
- 36:05I've gone through everything in my head
- 36:06that makes sense
- 36:09and she just told me you know
- 36:12like get off of her and she was like I
- 36:15knew some I knew there was somebody else
- 36:17I knew there was somebody else somebody
- 36:19else I couldn't bring it I couldn't just
- 36:22say yes there is somebody else but
- 36:25that's said when never going to see the
- 36:28kids again never see them again get off
- 36:30you don't hurt they end then is that
- 36:32what she
- 36:33said that was good like when I climbed
- 36:36in bed that was pretty much like on top
- 36:40pretty much like Stringer
- 36:43do she thought I was going to like you
- 36:45know
- 36:46know hurt her her baby or something
- 36:51so she because she knew that like you
- 36:53know something that happened she thought
- 36:55I was just tring to know check out or
- 36:59something
- 37:02that's I know it's hard but mind if we
- 37:07to the deeper about that so she comes
- 37:12home uh know she touches if you guys
- 37:14have sex it seems like she's doing her
- 37:16test which I understand sounds like you
- 37:19do too I'm sure like you know ni GE
- 37:22something yeah Cole lainson or Cassie
- 37:25prob told her you know that's what I was
- 37:27thinking right they talked about her

- 37:31that's my parents told me there was like
- 37:33a going do like text messages it's like
- 37:36all like pretty much they all kind of
- 37:39just told her left somebody
- 37:41else yeah and she' spent a lot of time
- 37:44with the gals that's what they did
- 37:47probably all weekend is talk about it
- 37:48give her advice I think that's what we
- 37:50found right yeah okay so she comes home
- 37:53how you guys have sex and then did you
- 37:55fall asleep between then and going to
- 37:58work yes okay so then at some point does
- 38:02she wake you up or did he waking up for
- 38:04work L points oh okay and you're going
- 38:06to work out but then that's when she
- 38:08started talk wanted to talk more she was

- 41:40yes was she always like that or was she
- 41:43uh did she snap at things it's she
- 41:47wouldn't snap at me but you could tell
- 41:48like you know
- 41:49something something really ired her a
- 41:51little
- 41:52bit it would come out Z to 100 type
- 41:55thing or what I yeah Zer 200
- 41:59interesting's she was she gets activated
- 42:02about something she's like Christ it's
- 42:03gonna happen well that's why she was
- 42:05probably so successful at Thrive right
- 42:07oh yeah like she had done a couple other
- 42:09like direct sales business but this one
- 42:10was just like it was different
- 42:13why this one like um I think she had
- 42:16done like borami owl and like something
- 42:19called like U it works and then like
- 42:23um other other other couple other things
- 42:26some bags and stuff like stuff like that
- 42:28the supplement stuff just because it
- 42:30worked with her work with me she's like
- 42:33okay I can kind of like use this but
- 42:34like all right this is what's doing for
- 42:36us yeah and then like after a little
- 42:38while like she could see how like people
- 42:40are above her how it was helping them
- 42:43and then it was just like trickled out
- 42:45effect really it was like a good
- 42:48system about like you know commission
- 42:50wise and everything and everything was
- 42:52just she could use all the business IQ
- 42:56she has from running those cell phone
- 42:57shops and from the very sou custom shops
- 43:01all that I me she she business minded
- 43:03yeah she knows how to do accounting book
- 43:05like back of her hand
- 43:07so that all just like fell into place
- 43:10with all
- 43:11up so then on that
- 43:16night was it just a new type of
- 43:19fight never had or what would happen
- 43:22totally different type of
- 43:24fight it was
- 43:27just felt
- 43:28like I know it's more anger than than
- 43:31anything else like there was emotion to
- 43:32it at first and then it just felt like
- 43:33it was just anger it was just like no
- 43:35like like there was no love there it was
- 43:38kind of like what we were saying what
- 43:40she was saying it was just like it's
- 43:43almost like we knew like something
- 43:44Wasing at at at each other we didn't
- 43:47know like it was it wasn't ourselves
- 43:50really Anger from you or anger from her
- 43:52I think it was more anger from me and
- 43:54more like desperation from her her to
- 43:58cuz she wanted to mix she knew she knew
- 44:01if something was right like no like when
- 44:04the whole thing with my parents happened
- 44:06with somebody my parents called gate
- 44:10nutgate what's that the

- 44:24guess
- 44:24what but
- 44:26that was like another outl you know
- 44:28maybe I could have just like stopped
- 44:29everything with Nikki and just kind of
- 44:31concentrated on helping like whatever
- 44:33happened there had a story my mom had a
- 44:37story

- 46:46them just I wish I could and fixed it
- 46:50all fixed all that I even like when I
- 46:53was at the beach I told Shan that
- 46:56it was more like what was going on was
- 46:58more of like I feel like you know my
- 47:00dad's hero I feel like I've lost like
- 47:02something in my life I haven't been
- 47:03talked to them for three weeks I've been
- 47:05see see the kids for two weeks you know
- 47:07FaceTime or

- 47:10have that
- 47:11relationship and they not she was few
- 47:15much going oh like she tried to kill my
- 47:17daughter I give in her I like I don't
- 47:20think she gave it
- 47:22to was that her stance is that your mom
- 47:25put that put something in front of CC
- 47:28like to kill her or no just like didn't
- 47:31care like like didn't pick she she
- 47:34thinks that allergies and like this
- 47:36state of AG is like people think oh like
- 47:39it's made up kind of thing'll fine he'll
- 47:41just have rash she'll be fine I seen CC
- 47:44you know like the first time well seen a
- 47:46picture when had a cash you the first
- 47:47time it wasn't good and then she had
- 47:48kiwi the second time and same thing
- 47:51happened and um I know it's real do you
- 47:54know it's serious yeah yeah it's not
- 47:56like it wasn't like her throat like
- 47:58closed up but she broke out in this full
- 48:00Vash it looked really I mean crazy
- 48:02looking and luckily like you know
- 48:04nothing with a throat like happened but
- 48:07um so did that make you angry to at your
- 48:09mom for doing that yeah I mean I just
- 48:11like well you just got I told you you
- 48:12need to think you need to like you know
- 48:14pay attention just because another kid
- 48:16can have something doesn't mean another
- 48:17kid can have something because like when
- 48:18we were at that birthday party at
- 48:19Jeremy's that Sunday you know they had
- 48:22this cake there like B Bella wanted a
- 48:25soda I'm like can't cuz can't have it
- 48:29she was like you know okay and all the
- 48:31other kids were like she they can't have
- 48:34the kick you know like I just kind of
- 48:35took them off gave him some like like a
- 48:38one those frozen pops or something but
- 48:41you know it's just like she had to learn
- 48:42that just because one kid have some and
- 48:44there's another kid that can't have it
- 48:46for legitimate reason like she couldn't
- 48:49have done it but you know that's the
- 48:51kind of talk I had with her when shean
- 48:53and called me I think it was
- 48:56maybe like middle of July or something
- 48:58when she told me all this that happened
- 49:00that's when I called my mom and talked
- 49:01to them for a while and then they're
- 49:02just like you know they just couldn't
- 49:03deal with her anymore she man just kind
- 49:06of like you know they like flipped out
- 49:08my NE old Bella to go hide behind the
- 49:11curtain because I don't think your mom's
- 49:13going let you come over here again or
- 49:14something like that so they got eated oh
- 49:16they were it was bad really yeah it was
- 49:19it was like a last straw between them I
- 49:21think like in the same room or over the
- 49:23phone no they were at at they so they
- 49:27yeah Cece and Bella and my nie and
- 49:30nephew were there okay how did Jo man
- 49:33find out about the ice cream thing cuz
- 49:35uh chel was there and uh I guess they
- 49:38were all sitting uh one C was kind of
- 49:41like a you and my niece went into the
- 49:45kitchen and she knew where the ice cream
- 49:48was so not your mom gave it to her like
- 49:51she got her own she went in the freezer
- 49:53I went out and St beside CC and started
- 49:56eating but like it's just a matter of
- 49:58like C could go like right Fu that I I
- 50:02don't know what would happen if she just
- 50:03got it on her hand right but like I know
- 50:05on like the prick test on the back it's
- 50:09like
- 50:10a so would they stay in there at your
- 50:12parents house during that time yeah it
- 50:14was um so they would go from my uh from
- 50:17Sandy and Frank's house for like a few
- 50:19days or five days and go to my mom and
- 50:21dad's house for a couple days back and
- 50:24forth so during that time no
- 50:29there
- 50:31so there are so many things that
- 50:33happened weren't there they just were
- 50:35little tiny ingredients to this recipe
- 50:37nothing like nuts Chris I mean it's just
- 50:40so many things just didn't go your way
- 50:43everything was like like somebody was
- 50:44stirring a pot and it just exactly what
- 50:46it looked
- 50:47like so
- 50:50then I know I keep bringing it
- 50:53up you walk me through
- 50:56that's just the last few minutes before
- 50:58shenan
- 50:59died it was pretty much just like I got
- 51:03dressed for work and then like we
- 51:05started talking did she come to you no I
- 51:09was I was just right there in bed okay
- 51:11yeah so I was just like I got my blue
- 51:13shirt on
- 51:15my go was she asleep or did did you have
- 51:18to wake her up to finish your
- 51:19conversation or I wake her up cuz like
- 51:21she she she got home like 2:00 so she
- 51:24was she PR much out B
- 51:26I never knew like if like if you're
- 51:27playing out the L some always told me
- 51:29like she just like sat around with the
- 51:32coold just like talked for a while then
- 51:34came home or something I'm not it was L
- 51:37yeah but uh yeah when she came home and
- 51:40everything but yeah like I I woke up to
- 51:44talk to her oh okay yeah and is that
- 51:46because it was just eating at your like
- 51:48I I knew like you know something like
- 51:51did something felt right with me so I
- 51:53know like she knew um I just I
- 51:57just I just felt like maybe like maybe
- 52:00the kids weren't going to be there when
- 52:01I got home that day oh interesting
- 52:05now um I don't mean to offend but I have
- 52:08to ask is that really the
- 52:10truth okay I really felt like they were
- 52:12they weren't going to be there when I
- 52:13got home by oh like she would take them
- 52:16somewhere no I just felt like either
- 52:19maybe I wouldn't go home maybe they
- 52:21weren't going to be there or I wouldn't
- 52:22be allowed in typ thing
- 52:25I think I saw some text messages where
- 52:27shenan talked about um that she would
- 52:29take the kids to another state or
- 52:31something because she couldn't wouldn't
- 52:32be able to afford to live in Colorado or
- 52:34something did she say that kind of stuff
- 52:36to you or yeah what did she say about
- 52:38that she said she couldn't afford to
- 52:39live in Colorado by on her own and that
- 52:42I told her like well he dve pretty much
- 52:44makes the same that I do yeah
- 52:46but as she said she would she wouldn't
- 52:49want to try just because you know
- 52:51Colorado just price of living there was
- 52:54a lot higher than North Carolina
- 52:55and just just so I'm clear you thought
- 52:57maybe she was she in your mind you
- 52:59thought maybe she would take the kids
- 53:01somewhere else or like lock you out of
- 53:02the house or or just like you know I
- 53:04wouldn't want to make a scene like you
- 53:05know trying like on the door trying to
- 53:07get in like that I just felt like you
- 53:10know that that was what I did on Sunday
- 53:13you was kind of like or Saturday night
- 53:15was kind of like the last DW like going
- 53:17out with
- 53:19somebody account card and just like not

- 53:22don't so walk me through it because she
- 53:26comes home she T to you guys have sex
- 53:28you fall asleep then you wake up for
- 53:30work all natural all you know a normal
- 53:32days work type
- 53:34thing what was it that made you think I
- 53:36just can't do this anymore I have to
- 53:38talk to
- 53:39her it was eating away like I knew like
- 53:42something I everything that I did like I
- 53:45know like when I was with Nikki it was
- 53:47you know different like I wasn't even
- 53:49like in the realm of I'm a dad I'm a
- 53:53husband type thing oh and then like like
- 53:56I like I was saying when I'm never at
- 53:57home like sleeping at my own bed and
- 53:59like I have no like concept of that anym
- 54:04interesting in your mind and heart you
- 54:06can have moved on like it was it just it
- 54:09kind of felt like if I wasn't at home
- 54:11like I didn't think about it almost cuz
- 54:13like if I wasn't sleeping on my own but
- 54:15like I think there was one at one point
- 54:18like Nikki had gone to the mountain with
- 54:21her friends for like a few days like
- 54:23into June first part of July and then
- 54:26like you know that part you know
- 54:29obviously home but like from that whole
- 54:31month of July on it was
- 54:33like I was never a like I never had all
- 54:36those reminders around me I never had
- 54:38you know like every time my wife called
- 54:42me I would be at n SS oh while she was
- 54:47in North Carolina yeah okay and I would
- 54:49like you know walk outside talk to her
- 54:51like when I was next to the car or
- 54:53something like that I would never be at
- 54:54home all looking like have all these
- 54:56pictures around me just being in the
- 54:58same bed you know seeing my kids bed
- 55:00seeing everything that that we both last
- 55:04excuse and so did you just want to once
- 55:07and for all get it out in the open I
- 55:10just wanted to tell her how I was
- 55:12feeling at that point in time like I
- 55:13didn't feel like me and her were
- 55:16compatible anymore I honestly I didn't
- 55:17feel like that cuz what was going on
- 55:19with Nikki it just it was new it was new
- 55:22right absolutely anything that's new
- 55:24always feels was better than the old yes
- 55:27were probably bitten by the Love
- 55:29Bug unun it was just like I never felt
- 55:34that I mean even like with new
- 55:35relationships in the past like it always
- 55:37felt different like you know the first
- 55:38couple weeks and then you know but it
- 55:41just was someone Nicki felt different I
- 55:44don't know what it was maybe it was just
- 55:46like you said like you know I was more
- 55:48in control and like it was more of like
- 55:51maybe more of me coming out cuan always
- 55:53said like it always seemed I was more
- 55:56myself around other people like you know
- 55:59her cousin Cody like like she Cody lived
- 56:04or came visited us for little bit while
- 56:07we were in Colorado for a little while
- 56:08and Cody always talked about like oh
- 56:10Chris is so funny and Chris like sh
- 56:13always like why you never like that with
- 56:14me like I maybe I always felt nervous
- 56:18about you there's only so much oxygen in
- 56:21the room right I say this to some people
- 56:23what dominant personalities you know I
- 56:26just always felt nervous I always felt
- 56:27like I was you
- 56:29know never could actually just be myself
- 56:33right Nikki I was myself like all the
- 56:35time it was just
- 56:37different well and it seems as though
- 56:40and again hard to talk about and you
- 56:41tell me if I'm wrong but it also seems
- 56:43uh is it accurate to say that sexually
- 56:45you were able to say Nikki this is what
- 56:46I would like this is what I meant to you
- 56:48blah blah blah maybe not what she
- 56:49name oh Nikki just wanted I mean she
- 56:53wanted what she wanted she wanted do
- 56:55pretty much all the time I was like okay
- 56:57that's me okay which and it was
- 57:01like like
- 57:04hey sometimes happen sometimes it didn't
- 57:06but that wasn't that wasn't the case as
- 57:08far as that way it was like sex or but
- 57:11it was me I was just one myself I could
- 57:14like just not think about what I was
- 57:16going to say or plan what I was going to
- 57:18say or not you say something stupid or
- 57:20something a little bit of
- 57:22Freedom can I ask you something about
- 57:25that morning that you had sex with
- 57:27shenan did you feel at all like maybe
- 57:30you were kind of cheating on Nikki by
- 57:32doing that I felt strange I felt like
- 57:35you know the first time I was with Nikki
- 57:37I felt weird for St like and then the
- 57:39last time I was I felt totally strange I
- 57:41was just like I I didn't know who I was
- 57:43I didn't know who I had become I didn't
- 57:46I felt like I become people I see on TV
- 57:49and that did not feel right with me like
- 57:51I just I didn't know I didn't know what
- 57:53had happened to me Nicki even asked me
- 57:56like are you have you done this before
- 57:58have you ever straight away I'm like
- 57:59I've never even thought about it it's
- 58:01like what's what's difference
- 58:03like guess it's just you that's
- 58:05different because I just never actually
- 58:07like like I've seen girls smile at me
- 58:10before never done anything about it but
- 58:12her it was just like like she had a
- 58:14leash on me she tugged me away as soon
- 58:16as she walked I'm like the heck hell
- 58:18going
- 58:18on so well and Tammy brings up a very
- 58:22good point I wonder if
- 58:25that last time with shanan having sex
- 58:28had a somewhat of a role in you thinking
- 58:31I a trigger I got to do something I got
- 58:32to say something we got to have a talk
- 58:34something's got to
- 58:35change I just I felt like it was like
- 58:37maybe like a trigger point or something
- 58:39like like you hit the push button on a
- 58:42bomb it just blows up right something in
- 58:44my head was just like something just
- 58:46like something was just like I had to
- 58:49say something okay so then exactly what
- 58:52did you say and what happened so when
- 58:54when I woke her up and was like hey we
- 58:56just gota just got to talk I just like I
- 58:59told her I don't feel compatible I don't
- 59:02feel like this is going to work I just
- 59:04you know I don't want to like Can we

- 59:21something okay and uh I was just like
- 59:24Can we cancel that can we like do
- 59:26something
- 59:27like from what I remember I even said
- 59:30can we move to Brighton just to get away
- 59:32from like this house oh but like I'm not
- 59:35sure if that was like like in the
- 59:37beginning or the end of part of the
- 59:39conversation or
- 59:42whatnot that conversation went so many
- 59:44different ways like they they had gone
- 59:46from like staying together to not
- 59:48staying together to just like all the
- 59:50above okay so this is half an hour an
- 59:53hour or what uh definitely not more than
- 59:57that okay I don't
- 59:59think are you crying is he
- 1:00:02crying it's like you know she's she's
- 1:00:04got you know mascara she didn't wash her
- 1:00:07face when she got home she had makeup on
- 1:00:09stuff so mascara running all over and
- 1:00:11stuff like
- 1:00:13that it was nothing nothing about that I
- 1:00:16just wish I could take all the back just
- 1:00:18be just the the whole NE thing like
- 1:00:21everything but so then when did it turn
- 1:00:25as far as that conversation MH just at
- 1:00:28the end when I was telling her
- 1:00:30like told her I didn't love her anymore
- 1:00:32that's what
- 1:00:33happened what
- 1:00:35happened she told me to get off her I
- 1:00:38put my hand
- 1:00:41okay did you say she said something like
- 1:00:43that you were hurting the baby or
- 1:00:45something that was before that cuz like
- 1:00:47when I was string her it was kind of
- 1:00:49like around her Bo type
- 1:00:51do why did you get on her like that
- 1:00:55I just when we got when we got on the
- 1:00:59bed that's just where I C on is that so
- 1:01:02she would listen to you I felt like I
- 1:01:05mean she could probably listen to me
- 1:01:06just laying beside her but I got on top
- 1:01:07of her and every time I think of got it
- 1:01:10I'm just like did I know I was going to
- 1:01:12do that before I got on
- 1:01:14top really that's an interesting thought
- 1:01:16Chris you don't know what you
- 1:01:19knew just like the whole everything that
- 1:01:21happened that morning I just don't I
- 1:01:22don't know like like I try to go back in
- 1:01:25my head I'm just like I didn't want to
- 1:01:27do this but I did
- 1:01:29it everything just kind of like felt
- 1:01:31like you had to it just felt like it
- 1:01:35was I don't even want to say it felt
- 1:01:36like an had to it just felt like there
- 1:01:38was already something in my mind that I
- 1:01:40wasn't planted I was going to do it and
- 1:01:41I woke up that morning it was going to
- 1:01:43happen and I had no control of it you
- 1:01:45never thought about it before it was
- 1:01:47just like I don't want like like like
- 1:01:51just like in the sentencing here that PR
- 1:01:54here said it takes two to four minutes
- 1:01:57something like that to happen like why
- 1:01:59why could I just let
- 1:02:00go
- 1:02:03didn't like was it feeling like it was
- 1:02:05in motion and you just couldn't stop it
- 1:02:07yeah it was just
- 1:02:09like I don't even want to know what what
- 1:02:11she saw she looked back at honestly did
- 1:02:14you look at
- 1:02:15her what was she
- 1:02:17doing
- 1:02:21fighting why do you think she wasn't
- 1:02:23fighting
- 1:02:26know maybe she was praying maybe she was
- 1:02:30just I read the Bible and said you know
- 1:02:33like you know uh the scripture says
- 1:02:36don't uh uh forgive these people for
- 1:02:39they do not know what they do um maybe
- 1:02:42she was saying that I don't know what
- 1:02:43she was saying in her head but
- 1:02:45she you know like like when you guys
- 1:02:48told me like take off your shirt and
- 1:02:50check for defensive bounds and like you
- 1:02:51know it wasn't going to be any she
- 1:02:53fighting I don't know why she didn't
- 1:02:55grab could she grab your arms or were
- 1:02:57her arms pinned down or remember I don't
- 1:03:00think so I don't think like I moved
- 1:03:03toward where my knees or around her arms
- 1:03:06or
- 1:03:07anything it just kind of like when I got
- 1:03:09on top of her we we started talking it
- 1:03:11was that was
- 1:03:12it it's kind of like in my head or like
- 1:03:16in the back of my head that was going to
- 1:03:17happen and just like at the end of the
- 1:03:19conversation it was just like that's
- 1:03:21what
- 1:03:23happened I just wish I could have let
- 1:03:28go did it seem like it was that long two
- 1:03:31to four
- 1:03:32minutes how long did it seem for
- 1:03:36you almost kind of felt like it was felt
- 1:03:39like it was longer almost cuz I feel
- 1:03:40like time was standing still it's kind
- 1:03:42of like I just saw my life just
- 1:03:44disappearing before my eyes but I just
- 1:03:46like I couldn't let it go it was like
- 1:03:47somebody else like like if you picture
- 1:03:50somebody else around you holding your
- 1:03:52hands holding you keep you from
- 1:03:55not not letting
- 1:04:04you some point there was a statement
- 1:04:06about rage do you feel like you're in a
- 1:04:08rage at that point how only way I can
- 1:04:11describe it
- 1:04:14honestly like a snap something know I
- 1:04:19know I guess my turn and said like some
- 1:04:21you know you know strangulation is more
- 1:04:24of like a I don't know passionate type
- 1:04:27thing I'm just like I don't know how
- 1:04:29that could be
- 1:04:31passionate it's just intimate because
- 1:04:33you're right and yeah us in your own
- 1:04:35hands it's a lot different than someone
- 1:04:37standing across the room and you
- 1:04:38shooting them or something like that
- 1:04:41so just felt like somebody was like
- 1:04:44behind me just
- 1:04:46like I just couldn't let go it's
- 1:04:49interesting to me because there was a
- 1:04:50lot of things in your life that were
- 1:04:52like that right where you're just like
- 1:04:54maybe felt out of control or maybe felt
- 1:04:55like I don't know why I couldn't St take
- 1:04:58a step back or you know like even when
- 1:05:00you said when your buddy was like a s of
- 1:05:02the football game you wanted to say yes
- 1:05:04could I wanted to like I I never been
- 1:05:06I'm been a football game since Carolina
- 1:05:09so I was like yeah sure
- 1:05:11like I wanted to say that yeah I wanted
- 1:05:15just text hey no fell through okay
- 1:05:23go
- 1:05:25so then
- 1:05:38what fact after you know
- 1:05:42sh once it once that
- 1:05:45was once she was gone it was just like I
- 1:05:48I didn't know what what was going on
- 1:05:51like that was like a traumatic I don't
- 1:05:54know what do you call traumatic event
- 1:05:55type and everything like that shaking I
- 1:05:58didn't know what had
- 1:06:05happened I didn't I didn't know what to
- 1:06:08do I didn't know what I had
- 1:06:11done I still was in that right state of
- 1:06:13mind I don't think like like I was in
- 1:06:15control of what I could think or what I
- 1:06:17could do at that point
- 1:06:21don't like most people say like why just
- 1:06:24called 911 wife was like unless you're
- 1:06:26in that situation we don't we don't know
- 1:06:28what we would have done it's easy to
- 1:06:30play Monday Morning
- 1:06:32Quarterback I agree with
- 1:06:35that like in said if somebody shoot
- 1:06:37somebody you don't know what going
- 1:06:38through mind that one time you know you
- 1:06:43done what happened
- 1:06:47next came in that what
- 1:06:51happened but she said
- 1:06:55why did she hear something is that
- 1:06:58she
- 1:07:03okay
- 1:07:08good did that happened with Bella right
- 1:07:11in that
- 1:07:11room

- 1:07:58house we got buy a truck was Bella first

- 1:08:52how being a dad would have best part of
- 1:08:54my life I took it all the
- 1:08:56way I think that's the hardest part for
- 1:08:59us Chris is we see those videos we see
- 1:09:03that love that you had for your girls
- 1:09:06like it's obvious to us and even to us
- 1:09:10we it's hard for us to understand
- 1:09:12how a dad who's given piggyback rides
- 1:09:15and you know making snacks and watching
- 1:09:18princess movies and those kinds of
- 1:09:20things
- 1:09:22um are get to that point you
- 1:09:25know like I said it was just like
- 1:09:27something else was controlling me then
- 1:09:29day I had no control over what I was
- 1:09:31like to fight back
- 1:09:33yeah like when that prosecutor said it
- 1:09:35but better Tong like repeatedly I
- 1:09:39just I just want Miss back my head up
- 1:09:42against the
- 1:09:46wall so you put shenan in the truck and
- 1:09:49then you put the two girls in the
- 1:09:52truck or they just sitting in their car
- 1:09:54seats or or I guess they didn't probably
- 1:09:56have car SE in your truck did they
- 1:09:58sitting in the back with the like in
- 1:10:01that that bench so chenan was back there
- 1:10:04too on the floor what did they say about
- 1:10:07Chan being on the
- 1:10:09floor momy okay why' you tell him she'll
- 1:10:13be
- 1:10:19fine did you have your their stuff with
- 1:10:22them with their toys and nakeds and
- 1:10:24stuff they had they had some they had
- 1:10:27something with them that They Carried
- 1:10:29one of them I think think CCM had like a
- 1:10:31blanket or something with them M like a
- 1:10:34pink pink blanket
- 1:10:37or what about the dog I think one of
- 1:10:39kind a dog are you
- 1:10:41talk dog yeah one of them like a little
- 1:10:44bar dog was that with you too do you
- 1:10:47know I think it
- 1:10:49was trying to try harder like had like
- 1:10:52big blankets small
- 1:10:57blanket so I think I saw um on the video
- 1:11:02that you put a gas can or something in
- 1:11:03the back of your truck was that right
- 1:11:05did you have different
- 1:11:07plans where did you put that in
- 1:11:10there I don't know what was going
- 1:11:12through my head I feel like I maybe I
- 1:11:14could
- 1:11:16just get myself at the same time I doing
- 1:11:19all this honestly yeah you should think
- 1:11:21about
- 1:11:22that
- 1:11:24what what' you think about that I like I
- 1:11:27deserve to live after what had
- 1:11:36happened was there any thought
- 1:11:39to um the whole family going away that
- 1:11:42day to include
- 1:11:44you after everything happened that's
- 1:11:46definit thought
- 1:11:49yeah see it's interesting to
- 1:11:52me um we had all kind of wondered if
- 1:11:54there was a point when you were all
- 1:11:56together and if you were all going to
- 1:11:59pass
- 1:12:00together that to me makes sense CU
- 1:12:03that's even though it sounds crazy um
- 1:12:06that's what a family man does right
- 1:12:09family man doesn't do what he did no I
- 1:12:12know I guess what I mean is um it seems
- 1:12:16like you guys were going to be together
- 1:12:18forever in that way do that maybe what
- 1:12:21going through your head I H I just felt
- 1:12:24like I didn't I Des to
- 1:12:26load I was like whatever judgment I was
- 1:12:30going to come upon myself you
- 1:12:36know I just didn't deserve to be on the
- 1:12:38Ser anymore what
- 1:12:45happened so what made you not do that
- 1:12:48you
- 1:12:52think
- 1:12:55I don't know if it was just more of like
- 1:12:59a because with the with the site maybe
- 1:13:02it was just more of like I would have
- 1:13:04hurt more people than just me and
- 1:13:07everybody else like I know there's other
- 1:13:09people out there not like at the site of
- 1:13:12other people like maybe out in the area
- 1:13:16like I didn't want something like on the
- 1:13:18site to catch fire blow up and and then
- 1:13:22other people around get hurt insane so
- 1:13:25you were thinking initially about
- 1:13:27starting a fire out there or an
- 1:13:28explosion or something or just no not
- 1:13:31not
- 1:13:32for not for that just like maybe I could
- 1:13:35just take care of
- 1:13:40myself gasoline that's the only thing
- 1:13:42you do I mean I don't have like I don't
- 1:13:45have a gun I don't have anything like
- 1:13:46that I like suicide that way to blow
- 1:13:49yourself up it was just I wasn't
- 1:13:51thinking man I those I mean I don't have

- 1:20:33have brought up the fact like oh she she
- 1:20:35was probably pregnant before like you
- 1:20:37guys even talked about it was like not
- 1:20:42no like it was insanely fast I give it
- 1:20:45that like that's the only reason I ever
- 1:20:46gave that notion like even the moment of
- 1:20:49thought CU it was like faster than any
- 1:20:51other time that she' gotten you just
- 1:20:54didn't seem happy like you know what I
- 1:20:57mean like I haven't like I don't
- 1:20:59remember the video much I know she was
- 1:21:02wearing like a oops we did it again
- 1:21:04shirt I think and I was walking with my
- 1:21:07cooler or something I don't remember
- 1:21:09like my actual like reaction like
- 1:21:11watching the video but like I could see
- 1:21:14I could see her see like that didn't
- 1:21:17seem like he was jumping for joy type
- 1:21:19thing yeah it didn't seem like
- 1:21:21that did you watch one of the when I
- 1:21:23found out about CE oh oh okay it totally
- 1:21:26different yeah it was yeah yeah it
- 1:21:30was there a Bella was in the crib and it
- 1:21:34had an addiction notice on the oh I
- 1:21:37think you told me about it yeah I never
- 1:21:38saw him yeah I picked up Bella and spun
- 1:21:42her around and what not this time it was
- 1:21:44just me and shenan and she was in a
- 1:21:46kitchen I don't know like I don't forget
- 1:21:49what date it was maybe like
- 1:21:51June
- 1:21:54third or fifth or sth I'm not sure like
- 1:21:56what day it was the video but maybe I
- 1:21:59already felt guilty about talking to
- 1:22:01Nikki at work yeah maybe maybe that was
- 1:22:05going through my head is that the
- 1:22:06potential timing does that make sense
- 1:22:08okay I don't remember the video what day
- 1:22:10the video was but I knew like I kind of
- 1:22:13met Nick here on like June 1st I knew
- 1:22:15like the she told me like that wordss
- 1:22:18when you say met her you mean like went
- 1:22:20on a date with her no no every one I
- 1:22:23date with her until sh in North Carolina
- 1:22:26oh okay just like flirting stuff yeah I
- 1:22:29mean it was natural flirting back back
- 1:22:31and forth and that was just like I I
- 1:22:33knew that like with that video timing I
- 1:22:36probably just looked like I was like
- 1:22:37felt guilty for even talking I go to
- 1:22:40work you probably did right
- 1:22:45yeah did you guys fight before you and
- 1:22:48Shan I know you talked about like not
- 1:22:49really raising your voice and stuff was
- 1:22:51there I want to say didn't a neighbor
- 1:22:53talk about them fighting and stuff yeah
- 1:22:56but that was that was embellished and
- 1:22:58exaggerated and he attracted that oh he
- 1:23:00ended up doing that did you guys ever
- 1:23:03fight did you
- 1:23:04ever was there any domestic violence in
- 1:23:07your house like oh this is strange to us
- 1:23:10to even from her to you I mean yeah she
- 1:23:13gets mad when she's pregnant and grabs a
- 1:23:15knife or you know like Maxi around or
- 1:23:19nothing no she never like nothing okay
- 1:23:22that's what makes all this even more
- 1:23:24hard to understand my point here too
- 1:23:27yeah she ever belittle you at all did
- 1:23:29you ever thr that way maybe was that did
- 1:23:31you did she ever make you feel like she
- 1:23:33belittled you or you felt belittled by
- 1:23:35her I
- 1:23:37mean there's always points like in in a
- 1:23:40marriage where like you know the
- 1:23:41dominant person like you know takes
- 1:23:42control of sure or but like I was my
- 1:23:46whole life I just kind of went with the
- 1:23:48flow like I never I never like put
- 1:23:50myself in the center of attention didn't
- 1:23:52want to be yeah I just kind of I just
- 1:23:56wanted to be in the back
- 1:23:59row so I me if she did belittle me I
- 1:24:02couldn't pick of Point Pi that point her
- 1:24:05time she never really felt that way no I
- 1:24:07mean I I mean I always knew I was like
- 1:24:09you know the invert and she was the you
- 1:24:13she took control of most situations like
- 1:24:15when people came over like you know I
- 1:24:17knew what I my role was yeah like I
- 1:24:20watch videos of like like you know or
- 1:24:23she'd make like power balls or you know
- 1:24:25like protein balls or you just don't
- 1:24:28seem like you want to be in those videos
- 1:24:30like you feel I feel like you were being
- 1:24:31forced to be in those videos and correct
- 1:24:33me if I'm wrong but that's what it
- 1:24:35seemed like to be hated be
- 1:24:37in I mean I did it because for her
- 1:24:40because was for for business and stuff
- 1:24:42but like it
- 1:24:43was no I I didn't I just being out for
- 1:24:47everybody to see that's why like the
- 1:24:49whole

- 1:25:57take more control over like your
- 1:25:59business and stuff I'm just like I don't
- 1:26:00know what to talk about right like if I

- 1:26:23I paid bucks for
- 1:26:25it yeah it's those videos were not me I
- 1:26:29just I did it just just still support
- 1:26:31her you know like she could you tell her
- 1:26:34no could you say I don't want to be in
- 1:26:36that video or was that an option
- 1:26:39probably not I mean it's like you know
- 1:26:41she would have been like what this is to
- 1:26:43you know help our family this is for you
- 1:26:45know to help this not so I could told
- 1:26:48her no I me they would just they would
- 1:26:50have made her mad I like
- 1:26:53I would I wouldn't really start that
- 1:26:55just because it's for the business it's
- 1:26:57for the family I was just going to try
- 1:26:59to help out whatever we can right did
- 1:27:01that actually make money M so not only
- 1:27:05just more sales but it actually put
- 1:27:07money in your guys'
- 1:27:09pocket and she made probably probably in
- 1:27:12that last year probably as as much as I
- 1:27:14did un commmission basically I mean I
- 1:27:17know that's a simplified version of it
- 1:27:18but y I mean it's uh they don't take
- 1:27:20taxes out on it so right
- 1:27:23so that was like the good thing me they
- 1:27:25paid for your
- 1:27:27car did they give you anlet for an
- 1:27:30allowance or something to buy a car you
- 1:27:33you're a certain level like 12K or above
- 1:27:35they give you car allowance once a
- 1:27:41month I'm not sure how they how they
- 1:27:43made money the owner doing that but they
- 1:27:47did yeah unless there just like an
- 1:27:49insane markup on the product which I'm
- 1:27:51there is probably that's not sure how
- 1:27:53much much it cost from to make it did
- 1:27:55you feel like a different person wearing
- 1:27:57those patches especially like the the
- 1:28:00duo the burn I mean it felt I mean like
- 1:28:04the Apple watches like if you look on it
- 1:28:06like when it tell you to exercise
- 1:28:08exercise went like all day cuz my heart
- 1:28:11rate was like up oh just from those
- 1:28:14patches was full caffeine or what uh
- 1:28:17they just have something they had
- 1:28:18something in them I mean I the Black
- 1:28:20Label ones the the longer Black on
- 1:28:22they those had caffeine in them but it
- 1:28:24never had that effect I mean the doo
- 1:28:26earn ones the ones that are more like
- 1:28:27The Fat Loss type it was I could it felt
- 1:28:31like I was working out all day even
- 1:28:33though I was oh were you
- 1:28:36tired I mean I know at some points I I
- 1:28:39mean even Nikki said that like no I'd
- 1:28:41fall asleep on the couch oh on her couch
- 1:28:44while I was talking to her and then like
- 1:28:46picked back up like I was like I never
- 1:28:48knew I fell asleep which I don't know if
- 1:28:50it like an insomnia thing or what what
- 1:28:52like I I wasn't
- 1:28:54TR you had a lot going on
- 1:28:58then yeah yeah those was are the only
- 1:29:00patches I really felt like real
- 1:29:02different just because it felt like like
- 1:29:05I working out all day
- 1:29:07MH you don't feel like they changed your
- 1:29:10personality or anything like that though
- 1:29:13or do you I I know I know I just spell
- 1:29:17different on those in any other batch it
- 1:29:20was but like I just go longer and longer
- 1:29:23each day and I'm not sure like if that
- 1:29:25was that was probably a bad thing I
- 1:29:27don't think I was probably State more
- 1:29:30three hours
- 1:29:32honey so would you stay at when Shan was
- 1:29:35gone would you stay with Nikki and then
- 1:29:37go home for like to get ready
- 1:29:40what yeah I just wake up at like 4: 4:30
- 1:29:43and go home and get ready for work and
- 1:29:47compl I just work out when I got back
- 1:29:49home
- 1:29:50mhm what are the conversations with
- 1:29:53Nikki as far as
- 1:29:56um at some point you guys were talking
- 1:29:59about her helping you find an
- 1:30:01apartment so what did you guys talk
- 1:30:03about as far as your future
- 1:30:05together that didn't really happen so
- 1:30:08like I got back from back from the beach
- 1:30:12so I told her like I you know I lied to
- 1:30:15her like hey you know like I like I had
- 1:30:18talked to shanan about getting a
- 1:30:20separation and that hadn't happened yet
- 1:30:23I mean it kind of
- 1:30:25like not she knew something was going on
- 1:30:27and mean we we weren't sleeping in the
- 1:30:29same room and then she she you know she
- 1:30:32even mentioned the fact like hey you
- 1:30:33know know Colorado's 50 state or
- 1:30:36something like
- 1:30:37that okay guess she looked it up but you
- 1:30:41know that actual talk I like act I was
- 1:30:44just like I thought it was GNA happen
- 1:30:48yeah and so in conversations with Nikki
- 1:30:52I get it I mean you're telling her like
- 1:30:54the progress toward the divorce is a
- 1:30:56little bit more than it was and then so
- 1:30:59what were you guys planing so it was
- 1:31:01more of like U she's going to help me
- 1:31:03find a apartment that was affordable
- 1:31:06this is kind just around like Brighton
- 1:31:07or maybe just close to work like for
- 1:31:11left in or something around there
- 1:31:13doesn't kind like where my area was did
- 1:31:16you talk about moving in with her she
- 1:31:18she didn't want that she didn't want
- 1:31:20that would you have done that if she
- 1:31:21would have been go with that
- 1:31:24uh that been little too soon I would
- 1:31:27have thought there was just you know we
- 1:31:30only been really seeing each other like
- 1:31:32almost like a month or I just talk about
- 1:31:34two months that would really she she
- 1:31:37called her house like her apartment like
- 1:31:40her I don't know like her kind of like a
- 1:31:43shield or kind of like her she had
- 1:31:46another word for it but in her safe
- 1:31:48place yeah like a safe place or
- 1:31:49something like that and she like you
- 1:31:52know people like to invade it but that's
- 1:31:54why she always let me come over because
- 1:31:55she said she felt like it was that was
- 1:31:58fine like her dog liked me and
- 1:31:59everything like she say you know just
- 1:32:02ship people off here type thing like
- 1:32:05okay so you and Shannon did you did you
- 1:32:08and talk about selling the house at what
- 1:32:11point did you there was some discussion
- 1:32:14there with yeah she had sent an email
- 1:32:16about to Ann about like how we would go
- 1:32:18about like s the house and I think Ann
- 1:32:21told her about you know get like P was
- 1:32:23always about getting
- 1:32:24preapproved just like you know like if
- 1:32:26you're going to sell your house get
- 1:32:27pre-approved for like another house so
- 1:32:29it's like you know much
- 1:32:31faster yeah quickly transition that when
- 1:32:35did that happen remember thinking it was
- 1:32:38either right before we left no that Happ
- 1:32:41been like first week of August somewhere
- 1:32:43around there I think she might have
- 1:32:44contacted
- 1:32:45her a plan was maybe to buy a house I
- 1:32:48think you told me in Brighton you think
- 1:32:49about buying a house bright like like
- 1:32:52that that Adams 12 school system or
- 1:32:55something so okay I I think that's what
- 1:32:59bright
- 1:33:03yeah what were you thinking about when
- 1:33:05you called that the school that day one
- 1:33:08day I was freaking out I didn't know
- 1:33:11like like I was thinking in my head like
- 1:33:13what I just did what I just done and I
- 1:33:16didn't know
- 1:33:18like it was it was it was stupid to do
- 1:33:21anything just I mean to call the school
- 1:33:24to call an to call anybody I
- 1:33:29mean they were right to be you know
- 1:33:33suspicious about anything look I KN I
- 1:33:35probably sounded eccentric on the phone
- 1:33:37and out of out of sorts and
- 1:33:47just I don't even know what they were
- 1:33:49thinking they heard me
- 1:33:52I think they thought it was weird but I
- 1:33:54don't know how you would not sound weird
- 1:33:55you know like you said
- 1:34:00so so are you 100% sure the girls were
- 1:34:05still around and alive when you drove
- 1:34:08out okay so that's completely accurate
- 1:34:11there's nothing nothing else about that
- 1:34:13they they got in the truck
- 1:34:17okay where did the blanket go did
- 1:34:22it's probably in the trash can or
- 1:34:23something think in trash it wasn't like
- 1:34:27it was still in my truck okay we thought
- 1:34:31we saw some GPS where you would stop by
- 1:34:33near a construction a rolloff dumpster
- 1:34:36is that true or I think yeah I think
- 1:34:37that's like I dump my clothes in there
- 1:34:41so that would been on way back to the
- 1:34:43house my neighborhood yeah when officer
- 1:34:48kunard was
- 1:34:49there was one of those red Construction
- 1:34:51Dumpsters more than likely okay did you
- 1:34:54pack new
- 1:34:56clothes how did that work I already have
- 1:34:58some in there cuz like in case we have
- 1:34:59like a spill or something you get cre
- 1:35:01oil on you you
- 1:35:03don't yeah I like I have like I have
- 1:35:06like two pairs of boobs uh oh stuff in
- 1:35:08there just because like I just one time
- 1:35:11I had to Pi up a spill and I defrost on
- 1:35:13and I had like a headache for like two
- 1:35:15weeks cuz like the oil that
- 1:35:17come so I always have something there so
- 1:35:21where did you keep them after you took
- 1:35:22them off like did you just change out
- 1:35:24there into your new other so like I D my
- 1:35:27clothes not dumpster but that wasn't
- 1:35:30that on the way back when you were
- 1:35:32coming like you had already worked the
- 1:35:34whole day I wor well I'd worked like
- 1:35:36till like 11 or so yeah so that was back
- 1:35:40when well when ni ainson yeah when she
- 1:35:43was my house the door do at the house
- 1:35:47right did you think right then like oh
- 1:35:50[ __ ] like here we go or what would you
- 1:35:52think I didn't know why she was there I
- 1:35:55was like I didn't know like
- 1:35:57maybe maybe she had an appointment or
- 1:35:59something with shenan I didn't know what
- 1:36:01did you think like that day like what
- 1:36:03you were going to say like what was your
- 1:36:05plan were you just going to go home and
- 1:36:07be like report to the police that your
- 1:36:09family's gone or once I had no idea what
- 1:36:13was going to happen like after
- 1:36:15everything I mean I don't even know how
- 1:36:17it was even acting even normal to people
- 1:36:20that was around
- 1:36:22because when like Troy and Cody and Chad
- 1:36:25and Melissa and all them like you know
- 1:36:27when they showed up on the site I don't
- 1:36:28even know I was
- 1:36:30even being somewhat even hearing what I
- 1:36:33was saying but apparently sh
- 1:36:36me I didn't know what was going to
- 1:36:38happen like I said this wasn't like
- 1:36:40something like some Criminal Minds type
- 1:36:45like that out yeah it wasn't nothing by
- 1:36:48minute at that point I had no idea what
- 1:36:53looks so once the girls were were
- 1:36:56gone um was it also just a minute by-
- 1:36:59minute thing as far as the oil tanks
- 1:37:02yeah I didn't know what what to do I
- 1:37:05mean I just thinking about an oil tank
- 1:37:08just makes me want want to throw
- 1:37:11up and was that just because it was in
- 1:37:14front of you and there it was and just
- 1:37:15presented itself it wasn't a plan
- 1:37:19beforehand okay
- 1:37:22was there any reason why the separate
- 1:37:26ones no like you said it was like a
- 1:37:30going up just going upstairs
- 1:37:34didn't no like what Frank said is like I
- 1:37:36was trying to separate everybody I no no
- 1:37:39I don't want to separate anybody what
- 1:37:41was that reason I can't even tell you
- 1:37:44was like like I said like something else
- 1:37:46was on control of what I was doing and
- 1:37:48it was like I was doing something I
- 1:37:50never thought I would in my
- 1:37:53life did you think there would be less
- 1:37:56chance of someone finding them if they
- 1:37:58were in separate tanks
- 1:38:08or whatever whatever my reasoning was in
- 1:38:12my head that day would it what sound
- 1:38:15nothing was right and you don't even
- 1:38:16remember thinking about it no it was
- 1:38:18just like it was like a reaction
- 1:38:22those something that I wasn't even
- 1:38:24thinking about
- 1:38:25yeah you talk about the trash bags do
- 1:38:28you remember
- 1:38:30that oh with
- 1:38:33a May two oh with okay yeah trying to
- 1:38:38cuz like this she kept I didn't want to
- 1:38:41like when when I was putting one here I
- 1:38:44guess thing I had like I didn't want the
- 1:38:46girls looking at
- 1:38:48shenan while they were in the back seat
- 1:38:50and so what' you
- 1:38:52do put a trash bag on one end and on her
- 1:38:57feet on her head so they didn't have to
- 1:39:01see and they were just too little to
- 1:39:03kind of figure out
- 1:39:04right okay
- 1:39:08that's I just know like when I was
- 1:39:10driving up there I mean you know they
- 1:39:13were just you know sitting there just
- 1:39:15you
- 1:39:16know kind of asleep or kind of just like
- 1:39:18you know holding on to each other
- 1:39:19Landing each other's laps
- 1:39:21I
- 1:39:27didn't you remember having any thoughts
- 1:39:30or thinking about why not just putting
- 1:39:32them all together with
- 1:39:34shenan it was happening so fast I had no
- 1:39:37time really thought that
- 1:39:40was my
- 1:39:45own that wasn't like dutifully trying to
- 1:39:49separate anybody passing away trying to
- 1:39:52keep anybody
- 1:39:57separate and everything everything you
- 1:39:59know Frank Sandy and Franklin said like
- 1:40:01I I don't hold it against them I mean
- 1:40:04they can hate me
- 1:40:05for they they have a right to hate me
- 1:40:08for the rest of their lives they don't
- 1:40:09hate they don't SL we're on the subject
- 1:40:12I I speak with them weekly and and I
- 1:40:15told them that we were going to come
- 1:40:17here and then hopefully would speak with
- 1:40:18us and they told me to tell you
- 1:40:22understandably they're you know
- 1:40:24they're
- 1:40:26devastated uh but they actually said
- 1:40:28that they they love you they still love
- 1:40:30you and and Sandy explained it you know
- 1:40:34he's he's our son son-in-law for eight
- 1:40:37years I can't just turn that off so they
- 1:40:39don't hate you they
- 1:40:41don't that's amazing to hear that yeah
- 1:40:44well and I can tell you Sandy was was
- 1:40:48was the one that was most resistant to
- 1:40:52penalties in this case and she said that
- 1:40:55she told me that from the very beginning
- 1:40:58that she didn't want that it's God's
- 1:40:59decision it's not her decision and then
- 1:41:01she told me that even then so it's not
- 1:41:03just a one-time thing that that she has
- 1:41:04said it to me um it's been over the
- 1:41:07whole course of the event so um that's
- 1:41:11probably one of the most honest things
- 1:41:12someone's ever told me you know so it's
- 1:41:15it's pretty amazing know theyth
- 1:41:19think she obviously believe or so am I I
- 1:41:22get it so I understand
- 1:41:24it that's amazing hear that
- 1:41:27yeah good people I I would have figured
- 1:41:30they would have hated me
- 1:41:32for they
- 1:41:34don't I mean yeah anybody would think
- 1:41:37that I certainly would have but I have
- 1:41:41to admit I was surprised take him back
- 1:41:43by that but they certainly
- 1:41:47don't what they say when they knew you
- 1:41:49were coming out here um they just they
- 1:41:52said they want to know no details
- 1:41:55because they need closure and that's
- 1:41:58really all they want and they want to
- 1:42:00keep it private and I said
- 1:42:03absolutely we'll talk to them about what
- 1:42:05you told us and just so they can put it
- 1:42:08past them because they're having a hard
- 1:42:10time dealing with it and trying to get
- 1:42:11past it all and um and I think that may
- 1:42:15help just
- 1:42:17to closures
- 1:42:19no
- 1:42:23my parents still think you know like I
- 1:42:25told them I play guilty for a reason
- 1:42:27right right and like I told it to them
- 1:42:30when they had that um video video phone
- 1:42:34thing in Colorado the day before like I
- 1:42:36play think like I didn't just you know I
- 1:42:40knew other people were watching I didn't
- 1:42:43just go on to say
- 1:42:46anything like they seem
- 1:42:49to take it okay what made you do that
- 1:42:53Chris what made you plead guilty I
- 1:42:56didn't want anybody else to I didn't
- 1:42:57want them to go through this for two or
- 1:42:59four years I didn't want my attorneys to
- 1:43:02lie for me for four for two four years
- 1:43:05like they I mean they would have done
- 1:43:06anything I told them to do sure that's
- 1:43:08what they're I don't see how they can do
- 1:43:10that like you know that's what attorneys
- 1:43:13do you know like they take their
- 1:43:14defendant and they say like what
- 1:43:16happened okay we'll go with that story
- 1:43:18like I told them everything I just told
- 1:43:20you guys
- 1:43:21and it's just
- 1:43:22like they just they got together they're
- 1:43:25like well if you know if if they ever
- 1:43:28wanted they ever offered a plea deal
- 1:43:30would you ever wanted like just to
- 1:43:32guilty to I'm like yeah I mean if we can
- 1:43:34end this send it like I was like in
- 1:43:37September I told him that really yeah
- 1:43:40they like but you know it was way too
- 1:43:41early and prosecution was still doing
- 1:43:44their this guy used to grabbing evidence
- 1:43:46and all kinds of stuff
- 1:43:48and that wasn't even on way on the table
- 1:43:51so I think it was in like around
- 1:43:54Halloween I think that's when the the
- 1:43:57prosecution went
- 1:43:58to Frank and Sanity and Frankie's house
- 1:44:02and it's talking like if we can end this
- 1:44:04would you be open to that and that's
- 1:44:06from like you know like the whole death
- 1:44:08penalty and everything all that right
- 1:44:09conversation
- 1:44:10happened and um I guess they were
- 1:44:14surprised that it would just be over
- 1:44:17yeah and we were all in shock I'm not
- 1:44:20going know why yeah that was like it's
- 1:44:22like we were going 100 miles an hour and
- 1:44:23then we just hit a brick wall like
- 1:44:25that's what it felt like to all of us so
- 1:44:27I mean obviously you had more time to
- 1:44:28yeah I mean contemplate I was I mean I
- 1:44:31told I told John Kate and siia and
- 1:44:34everybody I mean he if we can just stop
- 1:44:37this and like I know it's you know
- 1:44:39everybody's telling me to fight fight
- 1:44:41this you know there's no
- 1:44:43like there's like they're about saying
- 1:44:46there's like not enough evidence to such
- 1:44:48this this and that I'm just like no
- 1:44:51this needs to end like I don't want
- 1:44:53people to have to because for Frank and
- 1:44:56everybody to have to fly back to
- 1:44:57Colorado every single time and get
- 1:45:00reminded of this like sure it's never
- 1:45:03going to go away but they actually have
- 1:45:05to come and talk about how other people
- 1:45:07talk about it have you know pel three of
- 1:45:09you get on the witness on the witness
- 1:45:10stand and say you know what they saw
- 1:45:13what they've seen you what what they
- 1:45:15they heard on tapes and everything like
- 1:45:17that it's just like I don't want people
- 1:45:18to relive that over and over and over
- 1:45:21again for for years like if I could just
- 1:45:26end this for everybody and then like
- 1:45:29there's any closure at all that could
- 1:45:31you know it could start then instead of
- 1:45:33like
- 1:45:352022 right know like everything it's
- 1:45:38like so I know it' only get worse for
- 1:45:41everybody so did it have anything to do
- 1:45:43with you not having the death penalty no
- 1:45:47like I mean honestly like when I was
- 1:45:48sitting in that cell I felt like I
- 1:45:50should di I mean I I was listening to
- 1:45:52everybody telling me like hey if you do
- 1:45:55this and this you can hang yourself in
- 1:45:57that cell you could do this and that
- 1:45:59they were like telling you stuff you
- 1:46:00could B yourself in the toilet if you
- 1:46:02wanted to throw a toilet B up or
- 1:46:03something like that it was F they've
- 1:46:06been there a bunch of times and like you
- 1:46:09know I was at one point I was listening
- 1:46:11to them and I was like you know you know
- 1:46:16I just felt like maybe I could maybe
- 1:46:17there's a different purpose for me
- 1:46:18somewhere you know maybe it's here I
- 1:46:22don't know like I prayed to God every
- 1:46:24day that he would move me away from
- 1:46:26Colorado like it move me away from like
- 1:46:28the DC there because I just knew like
- 1:46:30they were saying there was a hit on me
- 1:46:32they said if I was going to a DC in
- 1:46:34Colorado like i' last a week and i' be
- 1:46:36dead because like the gangs and all that
- 1:46:39kind of stuff so like I just felt like
- 1:46:41God moved me here for a
- 1:46:43reason hopefully I can help people that
- 1:46:46way but like I didn't want my family I
- 1:46:47didn't want sh family all our friends
- 1:46:49like you know having to go through that
- 1:46:51because after a while I knew it was like
- 1:46:54this stuff was everywhere and I knew
- 1:46:56like all her Thrive friends everybody it
- 1:46:58was just like it would just it would
- 1:47:01just broke put that h p in their hearts
- 1:47:03a little bit bigger at the time I didn't
- 1:47:05want that so I knew it would have gotten
- 1:47:08worse I didn't want I didn't want it to
- 1:47:11get any worse than I already
- 1:47:13was did you ever think
- 1:47:16about Welly you know it could be very
- 1:47:19believable what I told him it could be
- 1:47:21very believable that shenan did you know
- 1:47:24and the
- 1:47:25girls so maybe if I tried to convince
- 1:47:28people that maybe if I fought with my
- 1:47:30attorneys on that maybe I could lessen
- 1:47:32it somehow did you ever think about that
- 1:47:34honestly I never even thought about the
- 1:47:35story until you guys mentioned it
- 1:47:38yeah okay I wonder I never thought about
- 1:47:42so you guys mentioned it what did you
- 1:47:43think about it once it got
- 1:47:46mentioned like I just went with it I
- 1:47:49didn't like you know I knew my dad was
- 1:47:51out there I knew it was like you know I
- 1:47:53knew they would probably believe it
- 1:47:55because you know my mom and my sister
- 1:47:57just never really like [ __ ] in I KN like
- 1:48:00you
- 1:48:01know I
- 1:48:03mean through all this like I got letters
- 1:48:05from some of my friends even said you
- 1:48:06know you know when we to your house we
- 1:48:08can see you know sh more dominant
- 1:48:10personality and more of like you know
- 1:48:12you know you're always helping with the
- 1:48:14kids and everything just you know you're
- 1:48:15a great dad and everything we could see
- 1:48:17you know couple things that I never saw
- 1:48:19or you know whatnot even my best friend
- 1:48:21marking say you know there's always you
- 1:48:22know something you know I didn't really
- 1:48:24get with she had I was like nobody told
- 1:48:27me any of this stuff but okay but yeah
- 1:48:29it was I never thought about that story
- 1:48:32and you know that's what my trains were
- 1:48:34going with and then like I think it
- 1:48:38was probably the second week I told him
- 1:48:41like what really
- 1:48:43happened what' they say after that
- 1:48:46they're quiet they're writing it down
- 1:48:50they
- 1:48:51were they they said they wouldn't judge
- 1:48:54me so I told them I told them everything
- 1:48:57that
- 1:48:59happened and they you know appreciated
- 1:49:03like I guess you know most of the time
- 1:49:04you know their defendant or their don't
- 1:49:08like tell them actually what happened no
- 1:49:10they just you know tell them all right
- 1:49:12get get me out get me out of here this
- 1:49:14is what happened but I told them what
- 1:49:16happened I I didn't want them going if
- 1:49:18this was going to go like anywhere in
- 1:49:20courts I didn't want them to be under a
- 1:49:22false pretense and
- 1:49:24like get surprised so I know like there
- 1:49:28was probably things that you guys
- 1:49:30probably knew that maybe if I if I just
- 1:49:34kept if I lied at up and just not this
- 1:49:36is what happened that it would have like
- 1:49:39made them look you know foolish and
- 1:49:42stupid and just like you know unprepared
- 1:49:43and I'm just like this is what
- 1:49:45happened and they you know they
- 1:49:47appreciated me telling me telling them
- 1:49:49that so now they they would be prepared
- 1:49:51and that's when they were saying like
- 1:49:53you know if if it was ever you know if
- 1:49:56we ever went to them the prosecution say
- 1:49:59if we could end
- 1:50:00this would I be open to it i' like it
- 1:50:03could end ending I know there was like
- 1:50:06um wasn't her phone found on the couch
- 1:50:08or between the couch cushions like did
- 1:50:10you plant all that stuff threw it in
- 1:50:12there you just threw it in there why why
- 1:50:14did you do
- 1:50:16that I don't know what was going on that
- 1:50:18morning like even like you know her
- 1:50:21watch her phone like I you know that was
- 1:50:23actually like if I planned this I would
- 1:50:25probably taken out to the field you know
- 1:50:27what about her ring and stuff what were
- 1:50:29you thinking about that it's like you
- 1:50:31know maybe she wanted maybe she actually
- 1:50:34really wanted a divorce maybe she didn't
- 1:50:35want to fix it put there on the counter
- 1:50:38she took it off or did you take it off I
- 1:50:40took it off
- 1:50:41okay oh so that would look like she was
- 1:50:44saying I want to divorce I'm leaving it
- 1:50:45here when I take it
- 1:50:47off I so the phone in her watch in the
- 1:50:52couch was that that morning before you
- 1:50:54left to go to sery yeah I think of the
- 1:50:58Cole's Sun found it or something yeah
- 1:51:01what other things did you do that maybe
- 1:51:03we even
- 1:51:07missed watch
- 1:51:10yeah think I thre
- 1:51:13the therapy books she wanted me to read
- 1:51:16in the trash that was that
- 1:51:18morning uh probably I think so were you
- 1:51:21trying to make it look like she threw it
- 1:51:23in the trash I don't I don't know I just
- 1:51:25I just didn't think it nothing going to
- 1:51:27work again so
- 1:51:29was I didn't know what was going on did
- 1:51:32you go down to the
- 1:51:34basement I thought the basement door
- 1:51:36open yeah the doors open but yeah so
- 1:51:40there was a lot of movement you know I
- 1:51:43think it was around 426 or
- 1:51:46something the garage door opening the
- 1:51:48basement door opening and then of course
- 1:51:50the W sensors and all do you remember
- 1:51:52what you're were doing all during that
- 1:51:54time you had a lot of steps I'll just
- 1:51:56say
- 1:51:57that so like the basement I'm not sure I
- 1:52:00mean only thing I really have down there
- 1:52:01is my workout my the bench
- 1:52:06press do you remember going down there
- 1:52:09for anything or opening that door for
- 1:52:11anything did you think about well maybe
- 1:52:13I'll take her out that way or is it a
- 1:52:15walk out basement no was it not your
- 1:52:17house okay it's like a garden level
- 1:52:19basement
- 1:52:21but
- 1:52:23don't plus I don't think it worked out
- 1:52:26that moment like were you packing your
- 1:52:28lunch in the kitchen like did you do all
- 1:52:30that normal stuff okay
- 1:52:35lunch did all that but I don't I don't
- 1:52:38remember about the
- 1:52:41basement plus I just worked out that
- 1:52:43morning I just don't remember I think I
- 1:52:48did so one of the or plus there was a
- 1:52:50trash bag down there that you got trash
- 1:52:53bags from there may maybe maybe there
- 1:52:56wasn't even garage I went down I got one

- 1:53:00bags in your truck
- 1:53:02no so there was a roll in the truck yeah
- 1:53:06maybe I just grabbed it and brought it
- 1:53:07with me that would have been kept in the
- 1:53:09basement maybe or
- 1:53:14the I'm sorry what were you saying gr um
- 1:53:19one of the more
- 1:53:20kind of poignant or Tender moments and
- 1:53:22all of this was seeing with your dad

- 1:53:43outside in my head I knew that
- 1:53:46yeah what' you guys talk about
- 1:53:50honestly like he just wanted to talk

- 1:55:30you know you get paid what you do not by
- 1:55:31showing
- 1:55:33up so that Darko was a little less
- 1:55:36stressful you know I got paid just to be
- 1:55:40there was your dad's marriage like yours
- 1:55:43and Shan's marriage as far as like your
- 1:55:45dad was the more passive one and your
- 1:55:48mom was always the more aggressive one
- 1:55:52was she like shenan in a way I mean were
- 1:55:54you attracted to shenan because she was
- 1:55:55kind of like TI your mom and dad's
- 1:55:57relationship was or it was like it it
- 1:56:01almost mirrored like her mom and dad's
- 1:56:02relationship honestly because her dad's
- 1:56:04like my dad they're both like kind of
- 1:56:06calm cool I could see that yeah Sandy
- 1:56:10rules that Roost oh yeah yeah very and
- 1:56:13it's just like you know I kind of
- 1:56:15related it to that because like her mom
- 1:56:18always said like she she always told
- 1:56:20shenan that she would marry somebody
- 1:56:22that was kind of like her dad I felt
- 1:56:24like I was kind of like her dad I mean I
- 1:56:26wasn't like you know couldn't build a
- 1:56:28lot of things he could but you know our
- 1:56:29personalities were kind of like you know
- 1:56:31I was always know I think he really
- 1:56:33liked me the first time he met me
- 1:56:35because like I was um helping helping
- 1:56:38Shan with this uh she had got this car
- 1:56:41from the dealership that she work that
- 1:56:42she worked at and she driv around and
- 1:56:44felt like you know the wheel want to
- 1:56:45fall off and uh I pulled over where her
- 1:56:49dad was was and I was I got that jacked
- 1:56:51it up and I was like you know trying to
- 1:56:53fix everything he's saying like any
- 1:56:55other guy she ever dated would have just
- 1:56:57like stood by and watched me do it and
- 1:57:00so that's when he really like kind of
- 1:57:02kind of liked
- 1:57:03me like I was I was always want to help
- 1:57:06people not to hurt
- 1:57:10anybody well and you helped her all
- 1:57:12through lupus and you're have to calling
- 1:57:13out the be and you're jacking up the car
- 1:57:16yeah I mean anytime she had an issue
- 1:57:18with like car at the 30 South cus like I
- 1:57:21just out to work see what I could do
- 1:57:23with it you know just do whatever I
- 1:57:25could to help yeah well I think one of
- 1:57:28the reasons Frank and Sandy work so well
- 1:57:30is because Frank let Sandy Sandy yeah
- 1:57:33and they probably both thought on you
- 1:57:34that you let shabi Shan yeah I just like
- 1:57:36you know I didn't I didn't try to change
- 1:57:37her right I just let her be you know who
- 1:57:40she is yeah she's like you know she's G
- 1:57:43ho she
- 1:57:44said she knows what she wants she's
- 1:57:46going to go get it yeah and I didn't say
- 1:57:49hey know you can't do that that's what
- 1:57:50it first s him yeah she he controlled
- 1:57:52everything he he tried to be Sandy it
- 1:57:56didn't work and she and she turned into
- 1:57:59almost like me she was
- 1:58:01like she just kind of like like lay back
- 1:58:03and just kind of like let him do what
- 1:58:05you then I think she learned after that
- 1:58:08that she can just be herself then with
- 1:58:10me she do be
- 1:58:12herself so that's how it
- 1:58:14worked so do you think your dad had any
- 1:58:17inor cuz I'm trying to remember the
- 1:58:19timing you showed up when you were still
- 1:58:22walking around you weren't in any
- 1:58:23trouble yet Ronnie came in yeah I was I
- 1:58:26had met with you the night before like
- 1:58:28three or four
- 1:58:29hours and then I was at Nick and
- 1:58:31Amanda's house went there and that's
- 1:58:35when I went to go picked him up okay and
- 1:58:37you picked him up it was early in that
- 1:58:39morning right it was like 10:30 I think
- 1:58:40when his FL came in okay and then so
- 1:58:42from there I you guys probably drove
- 1:58:44home and then to the police station yep
- 1:58:47and the the talks there were
- 1:58:50no type of confession from you okay no
- 1:58:53it was like just he was just going to
- 1:58:55wait like you know you know was like
- 1:58:58that barbecue Jo com Street like know
- 1:59:00it's good he was know he told me he
- 1:59:02never left he didn't I wasn't lying yeah
- 1:59:05he's faithful he was I I don't know how
- 1:59:07he lasted that long without food we
- 1:59:10ended up giving him food
- 1:59:12okay he was great um and the reason I
- 1:59:16asked is because when I look back at
- 1:59:17watching the video um
- 1:59:20um now knowing what I know after talking
- 1:59:22to you today I can see how genuine he
- 1:59:24was but I just didn't know if you guys
- 1:59:26had come up with some sort of plan kind
- 1:59:30no we never even talk I
- 1:59:33hope if I had told him anything he would
- 1:59:35have prob told me tell him by way I
- 1:59:38think you're right he would have still
- 1:59:40loved me either way but he would have
- 1:59:41told me he need to tell like right now
- 1:59:44yeah you don't I mean I didn't think I
- 1:59:46was going to be there for 14 or hour
- 1:59:48long I was like an hour or so day you
- 1:59:51were there a long time yeah but it
- 1:59:54was he would have told me just to say
- 1:59:57just tell you yeah did you know walking
- 1:59:59in there that you were GNA tell us or
- 2:00:02did you think I didn't I mean I knew
- 2:00:05there was a reason you got me back in I
- 2:00:07know well for the um what you think
- 2:00:10about the polygraph that was horrible
- 2:00:13why' you say that I don't know how you
- 2:00:14do that why' you say that cuz Tammy's a
- 2:00:17torturer I'm not oh
- 2:00:20you answered oh you asked me questions
- 2:00:22for like what like three or four hours
- 2:00:24beforehand and then you do the polygraph
- 2:00:26and it's like you just break down
- 2:00:27somebody's brain to where like to much
- 2:00:29or
- 2:00:31what yell and it's just like
- 2:00:34I I know it's it's you guys have a job
- 2:00:37and you have a plan and that's you
- 2:00:38executed it so she's thorough right
- 2:00:40there's just no there's no way to get
- 2:00:42out of there without the truth no I mean
- 2:00:44I kind of knew like where cuz right when
- 2:00:48I you asked me about like Saturday night
- 2:00:50the I told your brother walking I was
- 2:00:52like man she was like going
- 2:00:56through well we did know we found out
- 2:00:58about Nikki right before the polygraph I
- 2:01:02I I figured that out after after with
- 2:01:05meeting with John and everybody that she
- 2:01:07had met with somebody from the
- 2:01:09CBI like like on the 14th or the 15th I
- 2:01:12was just like they were talk oh okay so
- 2:01:17you already knew so but
- 2:01:19I mean I didn't know how extensive it
- 2:01:21was but yes we we knew yeah I mean I
- 2:01:26walking in there that day just walking
- 2:01:27into that room I knew I wasn't walking
- 2:01:29out yeah just just a feeling I had
- 2:01:32walking in that room yeah just you know
- 2:01:35I mean I don't remember if the polygraph
- 2:01:36stuff was already in there I think it
- 2:01:37was it was yeah but it was I knew it I
- 2:01:41just felt I just feel like sometimes
- 2:01:42when people you know do do the bad thing
- 2:01:47and they stay like
- 2:01:49some part of me thinks well I think
- 2:01:51they're here because they really want to
- 2:01:52tell us what happened because it's not
- 2:01:54normal that you want to keep all that in
- 2:01:56like that just kills people on the
- 2:01:58inside and I could tell it was killing
- 2:02:00you that day yeah I mean it was like
- 2:02:03that 13th when I slept in the house it
- 2:02:06didn't nothing I didn't know think i'
- 2:02:08slept maybe like two hours CU I just
- 2:02:09finally just got so tired I just fell
- 2:02:11asleep I after had every light
- 2:02:13on I didn't I nothing felt right what
- 2:02:17were you thinking about during your
- 2:02:18media interviews I didn't want to do it
- 2:02:22why did you do it did you feel like you
- 2:02:23had to do it I felt like you know they
- 2:02:27would have just kept knocking on my door
- 2:02:29if until I answered it and like I didn't
- 2:02:32even set it up but know Nicole ainson
- 2:02:34said it up she told me hey foxy set it
- 2:02:37up she said foxy going be your house at
- 2:02:3910:30 like what like
- 2:02:43okay and you know I think I even called
- 2:02:46I even called you about it like what do
- 2:02:47you recommend that I do and he like it's
- 2:02:49kind up to you like okay and I called
- 2:02:54one of her friends you know what should
- 2:02:55I do and well she said I probably
- 2:02:59wouldn't do it but I just felt like you
- 2:03:02know
- 2:03:03what I I don't even want to know what I
- 2:03:05said what I looked like on there because
- 2:03:07I knew some people said it just it just
- 2:03:10made it look even worse after the fact
- 2:03:13but it it didn't look good but I mean
- 2:03:16obviously we can't say oh we knew right
- 2:03:19then he was lying but I think we all
- 2:03:21watched it together
- 2:03:22and went this might be
- 2:03:27bad I had that feeling after I watched
- 2:03:30it well I could kind of see it in your
- 2:03:34face it's like I was just flying to more
- 2:03:37and more people and it was just like I
- 2:03:40just do you have internet access
- 2:03:44here no so don't don't get into that
- 2:03:47trap but BR then
- 2:03:52social media TR and all that they don't
- 2:03:54they don't let you have social media
- 2:03:57go I think some of the GP guys are
- 2:03:59getting like these little like tablets
- 2:04:01or something that are like you know Sid
- 2:04:03like a older iPhone or something I think
- 2:04:06like email but I'm I'm not sure about
- 2:04:08like social Med no definitely no social
- 2:04:10media not sure about internet or not but
- 2:04:13this place is kind of like you know a
- 2:04:14dead zone five anyways I would think I
- 2:04:17don't know we're getting which is weird
- 2:04:20yeah I didn't think we would right here
- 2:04:22right this maybe this is kind of like a
- 2:04:26h the spot computer room you would hope
- 2:04:30they did you talk to um Nikki afterwards
- 2:04:33after all this happened
- 2:04:36on 13 on the yeah 13 on the 14th what
- 2:04:39how what was that conversation like it
- 2:04:42was the 13th kind of like you know it
- 2:04:45was more text and then maybe a phone
- 2:04:47call like a
- 2:04:49your phone call and
- 2:04:52then she just she thought maybe Chan
- 2:04:55like took off with the kids like just
- 2:04:57you know because I that I was telling I
- 2:04:58didn't know where they were and all that
- 2:05:00and in the 14th they she kind of
- 2:05:03like think she kind of thought something
- 2:05:06may have happened because they hadn't
- 2:05:07come back why do you say that she might
- 2:05:10have thought that her you know she kept
- 2:05:13asking me like some weird questions like
- 2:05:17she kept asking like
- 2:05:19questions that only I would know but she
- 2:05:21was testing to see if like it was
- 2:05:23actually me on the
- 2:05:24phone like what do you mean like she
- 2:05:26would ask like you know like what's my
- 2:05:28dog's name or like what do I like U what
- 2:05:31yoga studio do I go to or something like
- 2:05:33that she like like I'm answer like I'm
- 2:05:39and then like another thing I'm sure not
- 2:05:41sure if this is you it's like okay is
- 2:05:44this who text or is this who calls oh
- 2:05:46okay so she wasn't hearing your voice
- 2:05:48think yeah is it possible she thought
- 2:05:50you'd been arrested and we were on the
- 2:05:52phone either Shan had my phone or
- 2:05:54somebody else had my phone like maybe
- 2:05:57know maybe it was maybe she thought it
- 2:05:59was the well hopefully shenan would know
- 2:06:01all the answers to those questions right
- 2:06:03no no no this is that Nikki asking me
- 2:06:06yeah but if she's asking your name of
- 2:06:08your dog and what yoga studio and
- 2:06:10wouldn't well she maybe she thought you
- 2:06:12know I wish man that she was just trying
- 2:06:14to find out who she
- 2:06:17was
- 2:06:19yeah like some of the some of the
- 2:06:21conversation like on the 14th got a
- 2:06:22little weird I think that's when she met
- 2:06:23with CBI or something or FBI I'm not
- 2:06:26sure who she with first so she talked to
- 2:06:27you after she met with no oh I was like

- 2:07:38like for with what happened with the the
- 2:07:40nuts and everything and they're not
- 2:07:41being able to see the kids they like you

- 2:07:48because sh told me to call him while I
- 2:07:50was in at the beach just to smoo
- 2:07:52everything out because she was like all
- 2:07:54right whatever's going on in your head
- 2:07:55you need to fix this but she didn't want
- 2:07:57me she didn't want the kids to see him
- 2:07:59she didn't want to see him and then like
- 2:08:01when I did see him on August 6 it was
- 2:08:03after I went and saw my grandmother she
- 2:08:05was in a in a nursing home and um she
- 2:08:09still wouldn't let what me go see a

- 2:08:30guess I mean I'm not sure like
- 2:08:32everything that was said that day when
- 2:08:33they had that argument but apparently it
- 2:08:35was like a knock down drag out like bom
- 2:08:38went off pretty hurtful thing yeah guess
- 2:08:41so and you know they just don't know
- 2:08:44like if they could ever forgive her or
- 2:08:45not and I just like I I never told him
- 2:08:48about like you know cheating on cheating
- 2:08:50on her like they they even asked me if
- 2:08:52there was somebody else oh did they
- 2:08:53really yeah they could kind of sense
- 2:08:55maybe something was going on yeah cuz
- 2:08:57nii was texting the entire time I was

- 2:09:13like I was going to meet up with her
- 2:09:17okay I told I told him that you know I
- 2:09:19was trying to like I should have just

- 2:09:26instance where there was a girl coming
- 2:09:28after him and she he she was engaged and
- 2:09:32he ended up getting with her and then
- 2:09:36they were together and then she cheated
- 2:09:38on him is this before he was married or
- 2:09:41during oh that okay like he think he
- 2:09:44could have you know helped me but I just
- 2:09:46you know I never told him think that it

- 2:09:53that's to think about right give us good
- 2:09:55advice yeah everybody oh this is my
- 2:09:58friend Mark oh oh sorry okay when I was
- 2:10:00in San Diego oh I bet you so you think
- 2:10:03you told Mark about them hoping that he
- 2:10:04make me question you about it or I was I
- 2:10:06was I was cuz you know Mark best friend
- 2:10:08you know I've grew up with him since I
- 2:10:10was like eight nine years old so like he
- 2:10:14had been married before and I didn't
- 2:10:17work out guess they were station
- 2:10:19together or something like over in Korea
- 2:10:22and uh I was that should have just kind
- 2:10:25of just came out with like the whole
- 2:10:26whole story like you know like I just
- 2:10:28told my there was this girl at work that
- 2:10:30you know I've been talking to but know
- 2:10:33I'm just just just distancing myself
- 2:10:35from her but that wasn't the case I was
- 2:10:38just letting it you know exponentially
- 2:10:41get worse right if I told him like Hey
- 2:10:43you know yeah he would been like who man
- 2:10:47like all right step back and look and
- 2:10:50like don't like fall into that trap
- 2:10:53being you're going to be alone for 5
- 2:10:55weeks and there so there's times I wish
- 2:10:57you know like maybe shenan didn't have
- 2:10:59to go away for five weeks maybe we all
- 2:11:01just went for one week nothing ever
- 2:11:04happen yeah it's only I mean five weeks
- 2:11:08alone that's the only reason really that
- 2:11:10would even almost even allowed to
- 2:11:13happen there are quite a few people who
- 2:11:16would tell us and do tell us you need to
- 2:11:20look into Nikki more Nikki kinger all
- 2:11:22the way from the extreme end of things
- 2:11:24being Nikki's the one who ordered the
- 2:11:26hit she was there I'm in the basement
- 2:11:30yeah you know so the the extreme is
- 2:11:32she's the one who told Kristen do it
- 2:11:34she's the real problem all the way
- 2:11:36that's the extreme side of then all the
- 2:11:37way to well there were read his text
- 2:11:39where she was infatuated she was in love
- 2:11:41she was saying how good Chris was in the
- 2:11:43sck and maybe we should look at her more
- 2:11:46you know what would you say to those
- 2:11:47people like know she she had her moments
- 2:11:50where I had to talk her like off the
- 2:11:52ledge kind of deal what's that mean it's
- 2:11:55like I guess after the fact there was
- 2:11:57like videos of her that she was like
- 2:11:59recording herself because she was like
- 2:12:00my b or something I never that but there
- 2:12:05it's like and she would get worked up
- 2:12:07about nothing she would just like she
- 2:12:10came to my house once because I think it

- 2:14:46wrong about Nikki she wasn't asking you
- 2:14:49to get rid of your family no are you
- 2:14:51sure okay and no part of any of this was
- 2:14:54because she put it in your head or asked

- 2:36:56there but they've been transferred to
- 2:36:59the other prisons around what are the
- 2:37:01other guys like they're like they're
- 2:37:04fine like the first time like I sat out
- 2:37:07ate like a breakfast or lunch one I was
- 2:37:10I was scared scared I was just like this
- 2:37:16like not since know I just never
- 2:37:18happened yeah like said they they locked
- 2:37:21the hallways down I got movie Colorado
- 2:37:23well I heard that so it was like you
- 2:37:26know being next like right like this
- 2:37:29eating next to somebody I was just like
- 2:37:31think like take a sport and try to stab
- 2:37:33me or something or what but it's totally
- 2:37:36different here I mean people know who I
- 2:37:38am but like they don't like you know run
- 2:37:41at me or jump at me or like apparently
- 2:37:44they um the guys that work here they
- 2:37:47they know that I guess other Maxes are
- 2:37:50like you the lock down like 23 22 hours
- 2:37:53a day oh so then this is an orange place
- 2:37:55to be for like other for other Max guys
- 2:37:58oh they said it's the best Max but the
- 2:38:00worst medium oh because uh if if you're
- 2:38:04Max you're working so you're you know
- 2:38:06out at your cell working like you know
- 2:38:07if you're a clerk or if you're in the
- 2:38:09kitchen or if you're in the W area
- 2:38:11you're doing
- 2:38:12something okay but um yeah they said
- 2:38:15like you get out here it'll be best for
- 2:38:18you plus they say it's not it's like
- 2:38:20rowy some the other
- 2:38:22places it's pretty
- 2:38:23intense yeah so like I mean I'm going to
- 2:38:27the GP area don't wi and you think
- 2:38:30they'll be while you're
- 2:38:32here
- 2:38:34okay they said like I guess it could
- 2:38:37take you know it takes a lot to get
- 2:38:38moved from Max to medium because
- 2:38:40Colorado I was classified as minimum
- 2:38:43restrictive but with the charges it
- 2:38:45would have been medium but here is
- 2:38:46automatically
- 2:38:48Max and what are the other guys in board
- 2:38:50you know uh they said most guys in here
- 2:38:53for like gang snitches and uh sex
- 2:38:58offenders and mainly people that have 20
- 2:39:01years on so people who were in for a
- 2:39:04long time and who would otherwise have a
- 2:39:05pretty hard time at a jail yeah for
- 2:39:07whatever they did whether it be
- 2:39:09snitching or yeah you know children yeah
- 2:39:12there there's some people from other
- 2:39:13states here as well and um guess a
- 2:39:17couple cops here too okay just you know
- 2:39:19just things have happened and they just
- 2:39:21don't think it'd be better it'd be a lot
- 2:39:23better if they're here or not at another
- 2:39:27yeah so what kind of jobs are available
- 2:39:30well it's um like they'll they'll
- 2:39:33probably have me as in the kitchen more
- 2:39:35than like that's where everybody starts

- 2:39:39you know putting Foods on the trays or

- 2:42:05uh put it in the oven the bottom oven
- 2:42:08let it sit there for a couple hours not

- 2:59:52lot of times anybody when anybody goes
- 2:59:53over there they usually call just so I
- 2:59:54can give everybody a heads
- 2:59:58up Neighbors calling somebody into the
- 3:00:01house okay that's how do that okay has
- 3:00:05anybody been like checking on the house
- 3:00:06making like pipes that brok all that
- 3:00:08kind of stuff water's off okay I do know
- 3:00:10that um I was worried about like you
- 3:00:12know sprinkling all that stuff I just I
- 3:00:15usually blow them out and all that kind
- 3:00:16of stuff fig why actually going through
- 3:00:19it or watching right the water's water
- 3:00:21been off for a while I didn't know that
- 3:00:23power still on actually oh it is
- 3:00:30yeah so um fortunately unfortunately I
- 3:00:34don't know how you want to look at it
- 3:00:35but um we need to get a tiny bit more
- 3:00:37into the weeds and into the mechanics of
- 3:00:40the time you showed up at the house when
- 3:00:42officer k was there okay till the time
- 3:00:46when we were all done talking okay um so
- 3:00:51that includes at the house that includes
- 3:00:53at the oilite and everything okay and
- 3:00:56part of the reason you need to get into
- 3:00:57that is I mentioned before how we're
- 3:01:02just really want to get into the mindset
- 3:01:05of what happened um and you can imagine
- 3:01:08this is really important for us in the
- 3:01:11future when we're talking to a guy
- 3:01:12that's a your position
- 3:01:14to say you know this isn't really a
- 3:01:16monster this is more like a Chris BL and
- 3:01:19boy we remember with Chris had we asked
- 3:01:22this or had we done this we really could
- 3:01:24have did better um and so that's why we
- 3:01:27want to get into the mechanics a a
- 3:01:29little bit more with you um and that's
- 3:01:31going to mean exactly how exactly when
- 3:01:35where were you what was you know shenan
- 3:01:37wearing or all of that right so we
- 3:01:41really just need for you to take a deep
- 3:01:44breath and get into it with us would it
- 3:01:45be all right if we ask you some specific
- 3:01:47questions okay um so one of the first
- 3:01:50thing we want to talk about was when you
- 3:01:53came home so this is after they had
- 3:01:56passed and you came home and met with
- 3:01:59officer coonrod um one of the first
- 3:02:01things we see on the video is she
- 3:02:02walking into the garage and then into
- 3:02:04the uh shannan's car remember what that
- 3:02:07was about and there a car yeah like I
- 3:02:09think you open a door or something yeah
- 3:02:10you open the passenger door and it looks
- 3:02:12like you're looking for something or
- 3:02:14maybe pick something up do you recall
- 3:02:16what that
- 3:02:17was not that I'm aware of not like not
- 3:02:21looking for anything but maybe just
- 3:02:22opening the car door see if
- 3:02:25like see if or uh I think Nikki was
- 3:02:29saying I think I see the car seat still
- 3:02:31in there yeah something like that and I
- 3:02:33when I open up the door I looked there
- 3:02:35just the it's like the first like
- 3:02:37reaction of like whatever everybody's
- 3:02:39just waiting pretty much waiting again
- 3:02:41in the house right right okay I didn't I
- 3:02:44wouldn't like looking for anything as
- 3:02:45far
- 3:02:47as spefic or anything but I would just I
- 3:02:50don't know this reaction going in there
- 3:02:52and say I know everybody's there I don't
- 3:02:54know what's going to happen when they
- 3:02:55share
- 3:02:56house you start of nervousness maybe
- 3:02:59yeah a lot of those nervous sure
- 3:03:02okay and then backing up a tiny bit
- 3:03:07I so she comes home at 2 in the morning
- 3:03:12um she gets into bed was when you guys
- 3:03:17had sex together was that pretty quickly
- 3:03:19after she came home I think it was
- 3:03:21around like 2:30 cuz she I felt like
- 3:03:24she' be in bed for for a little while
- 3:03:26bit okay um then forgive me it's it's
- 3:03:29not a pery thing but she woke you up
- 3:03:32yeah she was just I could I could feel
- 3:03:34like feel like a hand was on me like
- 3:03:35rubb my leg or my chest or something
- 3:03:37that and then that was you know signal
- 3:03:39it's go time head thing pretty much was
- 3:03:42like yeah okay I get it um and then that
- 3:03:45was maybe a half an hour after MH and
- 3:03:48then after that is there any talking or
- 3:03:51was it just kind of a just like f in the
- 3:03:54middle of the
- 3:03:55night just like I just felt I just felt
- 3:03:58her hand around me I'm just like time to
- 3:04:00go yeah okay it's funny all right um
- 3:04:05then couple hours of sleep alarm goes
- 3:04:08off okay I guess what I don't understand
- 3:04:11is so then there was some talking
- 3:04:14and then how did you get on top of her
- 3:04:16how did that happen it's like when I got
- 3:04:18into bed I Prett she was
- 3:04:20laying she when she was sleeping she was
- 3:04:22laying like face down which really never
- 3:04:24does okay and I was I just got into bed
- 3:04:27and I kind of nudged her and then she
- 3:04:28like kind of rolled over and then I was
- 3:04:29just like just like right there on top
- 3:04:31of her okay and so that was after you
- 3:04:33gotten ready okay so you go down you
- 3:04:36make your food oh yeah I got like and
- 3:04:40another okay and then so this is we
- 3:04:43talked a little bit earlier today about
- 3:04:45you know there was all of these things
- 3:04:46playing in your mind where you just
- 3:04:48didn't even want to go another second
- 3:04:49without having this conversation or
- 3:04:51without some sort of completion right
- 3:04:53and then so you come back she's asleep
- 3:04:56and then you just kind of nudge her yeah
- 3:04:58I just kind of like okay look up for and
- 3:05:01was there nudge talk for 20 minutes or
- 3:05:03was it just nudge and then all of a
- 3:05:04sudden you're on top of her nudge pretty
- 3:05:06much on top okay so that happened pretty
- 3:05:07quickly yeah it was that's thought we
- 3:05:09kind of pretty much talked that was just
- 3:05:11right there and was there talking yeah
- 3:05:13okay and so I nudge a talk she's laying
- 3:05:16down and you're standing up I was on I
- 3:05:18was like I called back I got on my side
- 3:05:21of the bed uhhuh and I just like nudged
- 3:05:23her like that oh okay and then you're
- 3:05:25talking while you're on top of her okay
- 3:05:28that seems confusing to me is that
- 3:05:31actually what happening okay um and so
- 3:05:34is she was fine like just laying there
- 3:05:36when you trying to talk to her while
- 3:05:37you're May thought we were going to have
- 3:05:40sex together or something okay okay and
- 3:05:43how how long did you talk about 15 20
- 3:05:45minutes really in that position okay and
- 3:05:48was there any sense no okay maybe she
- 3:05:50I'm basically from s never in maybe
- 3:05:54thought maybe I'd try to go again I
- 3:05:56don't know okay and and I don't harp on
- 3:05:58it too much but I'm just trying to
- 3:06:01think if my wife's four months pregnant
- 3:06:04and it's 5:00 in the morning and I want
- 3:06:07to talk and I want to get on top of her
- 3:06:08that's just not going to fly so that's
- 3:06:10why I'm confused is that really what
- 3:06:13happened
- 3:06:13okay and then talk for about 15 minutes
- 3:06:16and then it's heated and then your hands
- 3:06:19are on her
- 3:06:21neck all right um What did the what what
- 3:06:25did the
- 3:06:26talk basically just thought how at first
- 3:06:30it was more of like the selling the
- 3:06:33house type of thing or not going to
- 3:06:35Aspen or trying to maybe go in at a
- 3:06:37different time and then I just switched
- 3:06:38all to
- 3:06:40the I let me do anymore nothing able
- 3:06:44like that and that's what I got part of
- 3:06:48it she ever say at some point get off me
- 3:06:51or anything like that at the end yeah
- 3:06:54that's what she said I don't want you to
- 3:06:55feel like you know cuz where I was it
- 3:06:58was kind of like she didn't want me to
- 3:06:59like to you know sit down or like hurt
- 3:07:01the baby or
- 3:07:03anything did she accuse you of cheating
- 3:07:05at that
- 3:07:07point so what' she say like I know there
- 3:07:09was somebody else I know there was
- 3:07:11somebody else
- 3:07:14that's I I didn't come out to
- 3:07:16say there is somebody else but she
- 3:07:19obviously
- 3:07:21already then your response to that was
- 3:07:23what you say no there's
- 3:07:26not deny it I just denied it but at that
- 3:07:34point that always because when she would
- 3:07:36accused me at the beach it was all like
- 3:07:38there's nobody else there's nobody else
- 3:07:40you know or like you know when we got
- 3:07:42back home home she always like said
- 3:07:45there's got to be somebody else cuz
- 3:07:46she'd always talk to her friends like
- 3:07:48Christina or somebody
- 3:07:50onp and they'd always say there's got to
- 3:07:53be somebody else if he's not W to sleep
- 3:07:55with you like he's getting it from
- 3:07:56somewhere
- 3:07:57else there is you know there's nowhere
- 3:08:01else I mean she couldn't really say I
- 3:08:03would get anywhere else cuz I was using
- 3:08:05those gift cards so it's you know like
- 3:08:07she just me me getting distant but she
- 3:08:11knew and I just that's that's mainly the
- 3:08:14reason why I talked to her I new like
- 3:08:15after that night it was just like it
- 3:08:17felt like I just felt guilty more guilty
- 3:08:19than ever
- 3:08:21before
- 3:08:23yeah um and then it seems to me and
- 3:08:29sorry a lot of thoughts here so we know
- 3:08:31what happened and we can talk about it
- 3:08:33today kind of openly um and that's what
- 3:08:35we need from you is to just kind of say
- 3:08:37you know I know it sounds bad or I know
- 3:08:39this I know I feel this way but
- 3:08:41physically just is exactly what Happ
- 3:08:43um so if you could tell us that it seems
- 3:08:46then that it would have had to been a
- 3:08:47pretty quick transition from two people
- 3:08:50talking to this right is that what
- 3:08:52happened yeah it was like I don't want
- 3:08:54to like I think with the last last
- 3:08:57things was we were talking about but it
- 3:09:00was you know like I love love you
- 3:09:02anymore and then she was like you're
- 3:09:04never going to see the kiss oh that's
- 3:09:07perfect question that's exactly what we
- 3:09:08need okay and I know it's hard to walk
- 3:09:10through that again but that's exactly it
- 3:09:13so then as soon as she started talking
- 3:09:15like that then it was on F but it was
- 3:09:18you saying that you didn't love her is
- 3:09:20that right okay and her saying you're
- 3:09:22never going to see the gift okay I can
- 3:09:24imagine how that made you feel sorry it
- 3:09:26didn't didn't Warr what it did yeah um
- 3:09:30and then the fact that she
- 3:09:33didn't scratch at you or anything is
- 3:09:36that because it was so powerful oh
- 3:09:38thinkk you I mean I didn't feel like
- 3:09:41I've never know before but answer on
- 3:09:43anybody Force I don't even know what
- 3:09:45kind of force I was putting on her
- 3:09:49neck like I said two to four minutes I
- 3:09:51don't know if that twoes did you cover
- 3:09:54her face at the Whole 30 minut time both
- 3:09:56hands on the ne okay and so if it's done
- 3:10:00right I mean that can be a matter of
- 3:10:02seconds before someone on their kateed
- 3:10:04loses oxygen to their brain out right
- 3:10:06did it seemed like it was that quick or
- 3:10:08okay maybe a minute maybe two okay
- 3:10:12screaming
- 3:10:14okay all
- 3:10:16right did you see eyes go bloodshot or
- 3:10:20anything like
- 3:10:21that okay okay you kept talking about
- 3:10:25the mascara did you see mascara on your
- 3:10:27face yes it look like it was
- 3:10:30like that's why did it too was it was
- 3:10:33she crying was that life but what point
- 3:10:36did she start crying when not talking
- 3:10:38about the relationship about not being
- 3:10:41compatible I went just talking about
- 3:10:44there's somebody else that's where right
- 3:10:48that's where I thought you know mascara
- 3:10:50I didn't know if it was
- 3:10:52it I don't know I don't I don't
- 3:10:55know was there a pillow or something you
- 3:10:57to ask yeah so there
- 3:10:59was was there ever at any time pillow to
- 3:11:02the sheet or anything involved in like
- 3:11:04that on on the face specifically no not
- 3:11:09like the sheet how you kind of wrapped
- 3:11:11around but oh downstairs I it the one
- 3:11:15that was at the
- 3:11:17site and then the other
- 3:11:19sheets they in the trash what point did
- 3:11:22you put those in
- 3:11:23there think that
- 3:11:28was obviously after I was in the house
- 3:11:31yeah I think it was probably the next
- 3:11:34day
- 3:11:37so I think I don't
- 3:11:40know I'm not sure like what happened
- 3:11:43this is hard to talk about like when
- 3:11:45yeah stringles some out like some
- 3:11:47sometimes I guess they use the bathroom
- 3:11:50so like I think that's one of the amaz
- 3:11:52reasons why because I think that have
- 3:11:53happened oh
- 3:11:56okay you said she was sleeping face down
- 3:11:58at one point was her face in the pillow
- 3:12:01or was it turned to the side or how that
- 3:12:03kind like on the side she's kind of like
- 3:12:05a side Seer but she was more more down
- 3:12:07than usual okay but then she turn roll
- 3:12:11completely on the r when you start
- 3:12:12talking to
- 3:12:16her um now as hard as that was you were
- 3:12:21need to talk about the girls too

- 3:20:16snug I think so okay did you have to
- 3:20:19like move her around a little bit and

- 3:20:28not you stomped her no
- 3:20:31okay um and then close the
- 3:20:35hatch yes okay and then went down to
- 3:20:38Bella tell me what happened
- 3:20:40there
- 3:20:42she said what happened to
- 3:20:46CC
- 3:20:47she is the same thing exct same thing
- 3:20:51that happened to me as CC did she ask me
- 3:20:54that okay so's pretty
- 3:20:59smart how did she sound what she want
- 3:21:04dois soft for she always
- 3:21:06said what exactly was she
- 3:21:10say same thing that happened to me as DC
- 3:21:13and then I said I don't remember what I
- 3:21:18said I if I just said yes like a
- 3:21:20horrible person or if I just put this
- 3:21:23put that blanket over her too and did
- 3:21:25the same thing same blanket same way
- 3:21:29okay she said no Daddy and that's nice
- 3:21:32thing she said did she say no daddy like
- 3:21:35please no Daddy type thing and she say
- 3:21:37okay don't do it she says no daddy okay
- 3:21:44same way hand on neck hand of a mouth or
- 3:21:47hand of a blanket with you a mouth did
- 3:21:49that take a couple
- 3:21:51minutes like good
- 3:21:55okay then then
- 3:21:58what I does know she had a couple spots
- 3:22:00like over her eye or something
- 3:22:03and picked her
- 3:22:09up and we talked a little bit earlier
- 3:22:12today about it you don't remember why a
- 3:22:14different
- 3:22:16tank okay there was no reason I mean
- 3:22:19they're both same Tanks i they're just
- 3:22:21like I don't I don't know
- 3:22:23why there's one I never got up there
- 3:22:26does one catwalk lead to
- 3:22:28both oil can go on either tank okay but
- 3:22:32if you go up one set of ladders does
- 3:22:34that potentially indate one okay now
- 3:22:38Bella was a little bit bigger was she
- 3:22:39harder to get in the it felt like a
- 3:22:42little bit okay and so was it a matter
- 3:22:45of just kind of maneuvering her all
- 3:22:48right um so then they're both in
- 3:22:53there is there any reason to think they
- 3:22:55were

- 3:27:53some text messaging about going out
- 3:27:55there can you talk about that a little
- 3:27:57bit yeah that was I think Friday that we
- 3:28:00had figured out there was a spill out
- 3:28:02there from like it's an old site set up
- 3:28:03a little different So what had happened
- 3:28:05was there's a downcomer and then there's
- 3:28:08a side Comer going into those oil tanks
- 3:28:10and one of the downcomers is tied into a
- 3:28:12back pressure line that split and every
- 3:28:14time I was dumping oil it was split on
- 3:28:16the ground and it was the oil was coming
- 3:28:18up okay the ground and we decided just
- 3:28:21to go out there on Monday because it was
- 3:28:23Friday and he had like switched it
- 3:28:25either he shut it in or switched switch
- 3:28:27line to covered it up and see if it
- 3:28:30could come back or not okay then it's
- 3:28:32more specifically you talked or your
- 3:28:34text about how you would go out there
- 3:28:36and take care I take care of it for him
- 3:28:38I've gone out there plenty of times okay

- 3:28:49place and just m okay and so that was a
- 3:28:53genuine was PR there was a lot of people
- 3:28:56that said that you wouldn't normally do
- 3:28:58that I normally help somebody no like
- 3:29:02field your position not you specifically
- 3:29:05but your position doesn't do that kind
- 3:29:06of stuff well that's the thing like when
- 3:29:08I was a Rover into a field cor I still
- 3:29:10try to do everything I used to do okay
- 3:29:12that's still like I wasn't good at
- 3:29:13delegating stuff I just used to just do
- 3:29:15stuff on my own or just like taking care
- 3:29:17of it for somebody else I wasn't good at
- 3:29:20the whole like hey you could do this you
- 3:29:22could do that or I sit over here well
- 3:29:25you see what it looks like to you know
- 3:29:27when it came up we're
- 3:29:28like making plans to be out there you

- 3:30:07long were you at that site the rest of
- 3:30:09the day until I got called away

- 3:30:13least a couple hours until you heard

- 3:35:20i back back when all this happened when
- 3:35:23I was in World County and everything
- 3:35:24it's I didn't definitely didn't feel
- 3:35:26like myself and more like in when my
- 3:35:29attorneys would talk to me and like know
- 3:35:31talk to some of my friends and like some
- 3:35:32of the stuff they would say like I go
- 3:35:35say good things but I'm just thinking
- 3:35:36myself not could even anybody even say
- 3:35:38those things about me now being what
- 3:35:41happened it's like people that I knew
- 3:35:44that never talk to again that like maybe
- 3:35:46I was like the roommate like back in the
- 3:35:48day or like went to school with or
- 3:35:50something like that they now they're
- 3:35:51just going say you know Chris wat that's
- 3:35:54you know guy the I guy I like to know
- 3:35:57get all this horrible stuff to his
- 3:35:59family now like I know I shouldn't
- 3:36:03really you
- 3:36:06know take to heart what other people
- 3:36:08think about me so much it's just matter
- 3:36:10of like what God thinks about me what I
- 3:36:13what like what he thinks what his
- 3:36:14opinion is not not anybody
- 3:36:16else's everybody going to have their
- 3:36:18opinion about it but like before I got
- 3:36:21in trouble I mean I was always hey look
- 3:36:24judge somebody on TV you know like like
- 3:36:26that guy that's no orang jum that guy
- 3:36:28that's you know that killed that guy
- 3:36:30that guy that rap that somebody and I
- 3:36:32like oh you know that guy's horrible now
- 3:36:34I'm the it's like now like when we come
- 3:36:38out like 6 6 o' at night and there's
- 3:36:40something on the news like I try not to
- 3:36:41even pay attention to it it's like I
- 3:36:43don't want to be in that position where
- 3:36:44I'm jumping somebody else
- 3:36:47cuz that's you know what people were
- 3:36:49doing with me I don't want to be that
- 3:36:51person anymore but just hope that I can
- 3:36:55you know step back kind of look at
- 3:36:56everything that I've done in my life and
- 3:36:58then like up to that point and just like
- 3:37:01I did some good things but matter of the
- 3:37:03most important thing I for your that's
- 3:37:06hope I can at least maybe help somebody
- 3:37:09from the
- 3:37:10however much time I
- 3:37:13have was was it your intent the whole
- 3:37:16time you were taking the girls out there
- 3:37:18that they were you going to do that
- 3:37:23honestly like when I got this when I got
- 3:37:25there I didn't I didn't think it was
- 3:37:26going to like you talk about the tanks
- 3:37:28and just yeah like well just I mean I
- 3:37:32just thought process all this Mak sense
- 3:37:35that's why I know you guys keep asking
- 3:37:37questions because it doesn't make sense
- 3:37:38to
- 3:37:39me I guess I mean like did
- 3:37:43you you could have done it before you
- 3:37:45guys left I and not had him you know
- 3:37:47alive in the back seat they could have
- 3:37:49been with shenan back seat I didn't
- 3:37:52think about anything really like as far
- 3:37:54as like how everything was going to
- 3:37:55happen I don't know like why like why I
- 3:38:00left everything out there in the field
- 3:38:02and why like all this stuff like none of
- 3:38:05this makes
- 3:38:07sense at
- 3:38:09all
- 3:38:11but to Tammy's
- 3:38:14Point did you think that they might be
- 3:38:16coming back or you know they
- 3:38:21wouldn't oh
- 3:38:23it's man the whole trip out there I mean
- 3:38:26it like I was on like I wasn't thinking
- 3:38:28I was
- 3:38:34like like in my mind right now I'm
- 3:38:36thinking back like I'm hoping that I
- 3:38:39wasn't like
- 3:38:41that I wasn't coherent enough to make
- 3:38:43that decision to where I knew I was
- 3:38:44going to kill my girls I was I'm just
- 3:38:47hoping that you know like like no no
- 3:38:49father would want ever want to do
- 3:38:50anything to hurt his his blood flesh but
- 3:38:53I did that and I just don't understand
- 3:38:54how it
- 3:38:57happened I mean I even read books that
- 3:39:00say you know like no no guy would ever
- 3:39:01do anything to hurt his children this
- 3:39:05Happ so I always thinking myself like
- 3:39:08did I was I even a dad at one point I
- 3:39:10don't
- 3:39:11know but I
- 3:39:17just just going to take a long long time
- 3:39:20to guilt and everything to get
- 3:39:23just you ask for
- 3:39:26forgiveness God
- 3:39:29yeah it just takes a long time for me to
- 3:39:31forget
- 3:39:34myself that's one
- 3:39:39thing
- 3:39:53to thank you one day for getting me

- 3:40:08anyone in your path of destruction or
- 3:40:11whatever was going to get it basically I
- 3:40:12that is what kind of made it sound like
- 3:40:14I'm not saying that exactly right but
- 3:40:16why were you so angry at
- 3:40:19chenine I don't know if it was just
- 3:40:21because of separating me and my family
- 3:40:24pretty much cuz I mean it happened at
- 3:40:25the wedding like that's the reason they
- 3:40:27didn't come to the
- 3:40:28wedding I blew up in my family to a

- 3:46:08boy years what like a good
- 3:46:12relationship I mean it's just like if I
- 3:46:15never met Nikki would I ever have you
- 3:46:17know thought our relationship was bad
- 3:46:20probably
- 3:46:23not that's one thing I always thought
- 3:46:25about like even Nikki asked me like if
- 3:46:27you know I don't want you she said I
- 3:46:29don't want you to leave your wife if
- 3:46:30just because of me I'm just like like
- 3:46:32what do you mean she said well just you
- 3:46:36met me like would you have known I'm
- 3:46:38like
- 3:46:41oh I never thought I would have
- 3:46:42straighted away from her at all like
- 3:46:45I've never followed I tried to follow
- 3:46:47anybody you know did was shean checking
- 3:46:50your phone or she always my phone she
- 3:46:53always checking your phone so how did
- 3:46:54you get pass that I to
- 3:47:00text and you had seen secret apps say
- 3:47:04that was on my personal
- 3:47:06one were using anything else to contact
- 3:47:10have contact with her I just text her my
- 3:47:13we phone I just and like uh when the
- 3:47:18kids went to North Carolina she was my
- 3:47:19personal phone and she just told me like
- 3:47:22to put pictures in a an app and I just
- 3:47:25found that calculator I just put you
- 3:47:27know just searched on the the App Store
- 3:47:31like hiden pictures that's calculator
- 3:47:33app like can you your iCloud or your
- 3:47:36whatever isn't linked together so she
- 3:47:38would know if you're getting it you know
- 3:47:41downloading apps and stuff like that
- 3:47:43they used to be a long time ago but when
- 3:47:45we got different uh different phones for
- 3:47:48U when our phone like our phone contact
- 3:47:52list be sync up from the cloud and stuff
- 3:47:54like I just I couldn't have like she had
- 3:47:55like tons tons tons of like phone
- 3:47:58contacts just couldn't have all that but
- 3:47:59it's still kind of linked up at one
- 3:48:01point but as far as like she asked me to
- 3:48:03get my my own iCloud account this still
- 3:48:06got free that up a little
- 3:48:08bit how about your Facebook account you
- 3:48:11deleted that some point when did you do
- 3:48:13that and
- 3:48:16why got back August
- 3:48:197 went I think it was probably August
- 3:48:238th that's when um the was told me she
- 3:48:26told her friends about
- 3:48:29me and I just you know they fight with
- 3:48:31me up on Facebook and see that she know
- 3:48:34pregnant if think you already found new
- 3:48:37probably already but I did
- 3:48:41that did you and Nikki ever
- 3:48:44fight we never fought but like I said I
- 3:48:47had to like calm her down a bunch of
- 3:48:48times yeah you you started to mention
- 3:48:51that when we were talking to about her
- 3:48:54getting upset about some video or
- 3:48:56something about being bipolar or well
- 3:48:58she I think either my dad told me about
- 3:49:01that or Don wsh told me about like she
- 3:49:03she made a couple videos like when she
- 3:49:05was just like you know talking to
- 3:49:06herself saying that she was bipolar or
- 3:49:08something like that a lot of things
- 3:49:11like when she realized that okay like
- 3:49:13she's the other person in the
- 3:49:15relationship that always put my wife
- 3:49:18first over her and that's what kind of
- 3:49:20made her chance toep take a step back a
- 3:49:22few times and then like I have to kind
- 3:49:24like calm her down tell me about those
- 3:49:26times what' that look like so the first
- 3:49:28one was probably around July 4th when I
- 3:49:30had to leave her house so because she
- 3:49:32she wanted to kind of spend most of the
- 3:49:33day got before she went to like a
- 3:49:35baseball game or something and like when
- 3:49:37I had to leave it kind of just said I
- 3:49:39just made her like kind of take a step
- 3:49:41back and wonder what she was
- 3:49:42doing and I just you know told her like
- 3:49:45okay you
- 3:49:45know just because of what's go like just
- 3:49:49because I had to leave doesn't mean like
- 3:49:50you know you have to just take a I was I
- 3:49:53was like comforting her at some point I
- 3:49:55don't even know why I was doing it maybe
- 3:49:56I I knew I was too far gone that at that
- 3:49:59point but it was this is Shan's pissed
- 3:50:02she's called you 10 times you were
- 3:50:04sleeping your day off and then you go
- 3:50:07outside to talk to her on the phone
- 3:50:08until um Nikki that you need to go home
- 3:50:10just in case she calls back and all that
- 3:50:13right mhm so what did she say to you
- 3:50:15Nikki she was in the shower she said
- 3:50:17okay and then that's like when I un
- 3:50:19talked about I calm her down on my
- 3:50:23phone and was she like we breaking up
- 3:50:26like we're not going to no no no she
- 3:50:28said like she didn't want to like she
- 3:50:30didn't think it was safe or it was good
- 3:50:32for us to see each other anymore that
- 3:50:33day like rest of that day just because
- 3:50:36of all that and I'm like okay that's
- 3:50:38fine and she asked me to come over like
- 3:50:39later on after she got back from her
- 3:50:41baseball game so you did that so what
- 3:50:44was the second one like it was basically
- 3:50:47about the same thing she was you know I
- 3:50:50didn't really know it at one point but I
- 3:50:51guess she had uh set up a couple dates
- 3:50:54with like some eHarmony app or something
- 3:50:56and they never showed up and uh she'
- 3:50:58already made plans with me and you know
- 3:51:02wait what do you mean she set up dates
- 3:51:03when she had plans with you yeah why
- 3:51:06would she do that I guess she kind of
- 3:51:07figured out they weren't going to show
- 3:51:08up
- 3:51:09she went I guess one one I guess when
- 3:51:12she went the baseball game they never
- 3:51:13showed up and there was another one and
- 3:51:15never showed up either so she's actively
- 3:51:16dating other
- 3:51:19people couple weeks later I had you find
- 3:51:24out what' she say she um it was
- 3:51:28something it was one conversation where
- 3:51:29I actually kind of fell asleep on the
- 3:51:31couch and then like she had tell me like
- 3:51:33not sure why she told me about it but it
- 3:51:36was it was very random and she could
- 3:51:40tell it kind of like took me back a
- 3:51:41little bit because I figured she would
- 3:51:42have told me that if she was actively
- 3:51:45still like looking around I mean she
- 3:51:47didn't have to tell me but I fig you
- 3:51:50think she told you though so that it
- 3:51:51would hurry you up and make Deion your
- 3:51:54making disc it might have been but you
- 3:51:57know
- 3:51:59it's she never had anybody that actually
- 3:52:02tried to like fix things as far as like
- 3:52:04you know hey like I like what we're
- 3:52:06where we're at as far as like the
- 3:52:07relationship goes and
- 3:52:09actually like I did stuff for her around
- 3:52:11the house around her little
- 3:52:13apartment done that she just thought it
- 3:52:16was
- 3:52:17different what about our male friend
- 3:52:20where does he stand with her what's his
- 3:52:21name Jim Jim thank you um he worked in
- 3:52:26the oil field North Dakota I
- 3:52:29believe
- 3:52:31and he guess it's been a friend of hers
- 3:52:34for a long time and it's kind of like a
- 3:52:36shoulder C on always somebody that's
- 3:52:38always been around for
- 3:52:39her guess he had like he's had a couple
- 3:52:42girlfriends
- 3:52:44and guess had had much luck I guess in
- 3:52:48that department as far as like keeping
- 3:52:50girlfriends and just and N all been good
- 3:52:54friends plutonic friends that's you know
- 3:52:58as much as I knew
- 3:52:59yeah but I think they just they just
- 3:53:02been friends for a long time especially
- 3:53:03up in oilfield North Dakota or whatever
- 3:53:06he's working on I think either Wild they
- 3:53:09go all over the
- 3:53:13place when um Sandy and Frank lived in
- 3:53:16the house 15 months what was that like
- 3:53:20it was you know it was
- 3:53:24tough me away no okay um it was tough
- 3:53:29know because I mean go from just me and
- 3:53:32J Bella and CC to you know two other
- 3:53:35people and then now four dogs yeah
- 3:53:39yeah Onyx is a he a teror 100 lb of just
- 3:53:43heat seeking missile everywhere and like
- 3:53:45it was it was cool having more people
- 3:53:48around but like it it was stressful yeah
- 3:53:51like I mean because
- 3:53:54wishan like having two dominant
- 3:53:57Personalities in the house and with her
- 3:53:59mom there it was kind of like what her
- 3:54:01mom would tell her kind of how to race
- 3:54:02the kids sometimes or like you know do
- 3:54:04this do that you know like whenever they
- 3:54:06were sick she was like all right you
- 3:54:07know rub peroxide on the feet f
- 3:54:09just like what okay and uh like I
- 3:54:13wouldn't do it you know say like just do
- 3:54:16that okay but like it's just like little
- 3:54:18things like that and it was like a clash
- 3:54:21every day yeah it's kind of like every
- 3:54:23time I got home I didn't know if was
- 3:54:24pissed or if she was okay
- 3:54:27because when we first got when they
- 3:54:29first got there they they didn't have a
- 3:54:30job yet and so they're just around all
- 3:54:32the time but then like once they got
- 3:54:33jobs and stuff
- 3:54:35like and I think it was a little better
- 3:54:37for Shang cuz you know they weren't
- 3:54:39around the house all
- 3:54:40day but it was definitely stressful just
- 3:54:43you know vacuuming like every other day
- 3:54:46yeah and just like I mean cooking was
- 3:54:49great that was
- 3:54:51awesome but
- 3:54:53good I was always like you know cuz they
- 3:54:56live they were down in the basement so I
- 3:54:57was I was always really trying to keep
- 3:54:59the girls upstairs while they were
- 3:55:01sleeping so you know they're running
- 3:55:02around downstairs and I didn't want him
- 3:55:04to wake up and I know Frank always told
- 3:55:07me that try playing up Sandy early is
- 3:55:09not good so it was just you know just
- 3:55:12kind like walking on eggshells a lot
- 3:55:14yeah it was stressful yeah yeah you
- 3:55:17think that stressed your marriage with
- 3:55:20the time or I mean it it was 16 months
- 3:55:23it was 15 16 months yeah it was it was a
- 3:55:26long time I mean it was it was great
- 3:55:27around the holiday times CU they were
- 3:55:29already there and like all that was
- 3:55:32great
- 3:55:33sure yeah definitely you know we never
- 3:55:36really had much alone time yeah you
- 3:55:38always had that kind of plan it out
- 3:55:41so yeah what was their purpose for
- 3:55:44living out there they want to be close
- 3:55:46to the kids because they're you know we
- 3:55:49P time a lot but you know it's not the
- 3:55:51same like right but two kids hard to fly
- 3:55:53back and forth I mean when they went
- 3:55:55back to North Carolina this past time
- 3:55:57was first time CeCe been there she was
- 3:55:59three yeah first time her brother ever
- 3:56:01met
- 3:56:03her so they trying to were they trying
- 3:56:05to move to Colorado permanently or they
- 3:56:07just they were thinking about it that
- 3:56:08point in time okay but you know Franklin
- 3:56:12St he didn't want to leave
- 3:56:15s she wanted to go back yeah
- 3:56:18yeah yeah it was it was a matter of like
- 3:56:21they knew their house wasn't being taken
- 3:56:22care of and they just they wanted to go
- 3:56:26back and make they they had put their
- 3:56:28house up for sale for a little while but
- 3:56:30never
- 3:56:33bought what about your financial
- 3:56:37stresses yeah bankruptcy was something I
- 3:56:40never thought was going to happen I
- 3:56:43think that was back in like 2015
- 3:56:47201 but I never thought that was going
- 3:56:50to happen and I never thought a lot of
- 3:56:52was from the wedding because they just
- 3:56:53thr on credit
- 3:56:55cards
- 3:56:57and so it was and then the doctor bills
- 3:57:00I'm like you know in the Scot bees and
- 3:57:03just like girls were seem like they sick
- 3:57:05like every every month seemed like some
- 3:57:08type of ear infection which figure out
- 3:57:11just like you know put the tubs in ears
- 3:57:12and stuff there's like no different
- 3:57:14operations here couple overnight stay in
- 3:57:16the hospital for breathing and stuff
- 3:57:17like
- 3:57:18that it was just it all mounted up I
- 3:57:21never thought it was that far gone but
- 3:57:25you know was any of that from Shannon's
- 3:57:27neck surgery or those bills pretty well
- 3:57:29paid up well I think the bankruptcy
- 3:57:32never touch the medical part of it
- 3:57:34because it's you have to be like
- 3:57:37like spy the like the medical part of it
- 3:57:40medical bankruptcy and then there's like
- 3:57:42regular bankruptcy how think bankruptcy
- 3:57:44ever touches is like student loans or
- 3:57:46medical stuff yeah just like be specific
- 3:57:50that okay but I think it just took away
- 3:57:53like a lot of the furniture that we had
- 3:57:55bought and then couple other things
- 3:57:58inside the
- 3:58:00house kind of alleviate a lot I I didn't
- 3:58:04I mean it
- 3:58:05took I mean every we had to make the
- 3:58:08house came up by phone every month and I
- 3:58:10looks at the bankruptcy skill like every
- 3:58:12time and it's just like I didn't know
- 3:58:14how long it was going to
- 3:58:16take but apparently it was you're in
- 3:58:20Banker pretty much you never get out of
- 3:58:21it you know I think it felt like you
- 3:58:24guys weren't you guys behind on your
- 3:58:27mortgage earlier and like think December
- 3:58:332017 and then January February
- 3:58:36March 2018

- 4:00:31like an auto order type it might have
- 4:00:33been an auto order it might have been
- 4:00:35something that I know that Nicole ainson

- 4:01:00mail we didn't like suit over it we pay
- 4:01:02choice for a
- 4:01:04year so we had to pay double for either
- 4:01:07a whole year couple
- 4:01:10months what happen all the money that
- 4:01:12she sent to the wrong address don't
- 4:01:15know I they said they wouldn't credit it
- 4:01:18or anything I'm not sure what the
- 4:01:20address
- 4:01:25was she said it was just something that
- 4:01:27she didn't see like I'm not GNA I wasn't
- 4:01:31she she she did so much so it's like I'm
- 4:01:33not going to
- 4:01:34like
- 4:01:36doing don't mean that
- 4:01:40I you go
- 4:01:42back so Chris what do you think we could
- 4:01:44have done
- 4:01:45better what what could have made you
- 4:01:48tell us the truth that
- 4:01:52night what did you need to hear from us
- 4:01:55that you
- 4:01:59didn't not
- 4:02:02really I'm not sure what really goes to
- 4:02:04people's minds when they're in an
- 4:02:07interogation
- 4:02:09in mind when I was in there with you I
- 4:02:12was I
- 4:02:14mean I was you know nervous I was I mean
- 4:02:18I knew I had done something wrong and I
- 4:02:20knew you probably already knew or
- 4:02:21already want to find out it's just
- 4:02:24like you know watched enough know like
- 4:02:28TV shows to kind of see like okay what's
- 4:02:29going to happen next type thing never
- 4:02:31knew if it actually right
- 4:02:35but I think it's just the
- 4:02:39the horror of like knowing what you did
- 4:02:41and trying to tell somebody else what
- 4:02:43you
- 4:02:43did that's what kept me from doing it
- 4:02:46because I I didn't even want to admit to
- 4:02:48myself that I had done
- 4:02:51anything so I knew I knew what I had
- 4:02:53done I knew how bad horrific it was I
- 4:02:56knew how bad I was going to hurt other
- 4:02:58people I didn't I just couldn't even
- 4:03:01admit to myself that I had done it ex I
- 4:03:03I couldn't even tell my CS I did it
- 4:03:04until like two weeks later so were you
- 4:03:07trying to save us from the or or it was
- 4:03:10just a matter I could admit to myself
- 4:03:12how could I admit it to
- 4:03:15you so do you think any amount of us
- 4:03:18asking you things different ways would
- 4:03:20have helped or do you think anything
- 4:03:22would have
- 4:03:24helped I think if maybe you didn't ask
- 4:03:27about if shenan hurt the kids do would
- 4:03:29ask the other that you
- 4:03:31know something in that a different order
- 4:03:33of question maybe it it would have came
- 4:03:35out a different
- 4:03:37way because that's the only reason I
- 4:03:39went with that s is because that was
- 4:03:41well you weren't giving us
- 4:03:43anything that was the problem but so if
- 4:03:45you think if we would have said what do
- 4:03:48you
- 4:03:53think you would have said you know I
- 4:03:57think you'd have probably had to if if
- 4:03:58the video didn't show them in the truck
- 4:04:00you probably had to have lied and just
- 4:04:02said we we saw the kids in the
- 4:04:05truck I mean I hate to say you have you
- 4:04:08to have you know lied to get me to say
- 4:04:11what you wanted me to say but it might
- 4:04:13have been
- 4:04:15that that we saw the kids in the
- 4:04:18truck when we were talking there was a
- 4:04:20point where you just said can I talk to
- 4:04:22my dad you just want to tell him first I
- 4:04:26just wanted to you know tell him that
- 4:04:28you know that I love him and
- 4:04:31that probably the last time we going to
- 4:04:33see me again as far as you
- 4:04:36know outside of
- 4:04:39aide of a
- 4:04:44cell you're looking forward to
- 4:04:46C yeah because I'm just talking on the
- 4:04:48phone you know it's just totally
- 4:04:49different when you see him you see a
- 4:04:51face you know it's like when we got on
- 4:04:53that little video conference in W County
- 4:04:55it was like that was all I could do just
- 4:04:57stop not to like just break down that
- 4:04:59phone
- 4:05:01so it would be it would be good to see
- 4:05:04them what do you get to do when they're
- 4:05:06here like this get a room like this with
- 4:05:09the there's a visiting room visiting
- 4:05:10center like down in my unit and I don't
- 4:05:13know what it looks like but I know they
- 4:05:15say it's like
- 4:05:16T it's pretty much they they set up a
- 4:05:19time and get a couple
- 4:05:24hours yeah just in that little Center
- 4:05:26and I'm not sure what else is in there
- 4:05:28but I just know there's tables I think
- 4:05:30of like V ma but
- 4:05:33it it would be good to see them and
- 4:05:36fortunately they can't bring their
- 4:05:37phones in right so I was hoping they can
- 4:05:39maybe show me on video or two but I
- 4:05:42don't know or
- 4:05:44picture but they pretty much let you
- 4:05:46come in with your
- 4:05:48ID can they mail you Ste photos or
- 4:05:51anything like that yep they can do still
- 4:05:54photo this sometime they try to play a
- 4:05:55video with the phone for me and it's
- 4:05:57like know it's really like fuzzy crack
- 4:06:04lot you have any other questions for us
- 4:06:07youever one
- 4:06:08I wonder why they did this or I wonder
- 4:06:09why the investigation of this way
- 4:06:14or I mean I
- 4:06:18mean I think the first time I I got was
- 4:06:21brought in I think it was like the 14th
- 4:06:25believe when I met to you that night you
- 4:06:27told me there was a bunch of other
- 4:06:28people coming in for statements was that
- 4:06:32true yeah yeah there was a couple people
- 4:06:35okay there were a lot there were a lot
- 4:06:40whole board worth of people listed and
- 4:06:43out they didn't get the attention
- 4:06:51to I just I just switched on and said
- 4:06:53happen honestly like you guys could
- 4:06:56have never had to come and you guys
- 4:06:58never had to meet me or anything like
- 4:07:05that none of it ever felt real
- 4:07:08especially like when I when they put me
- 4:07:10in that that suicide watch sell and last
- 4:07:13thing that one of those guys said was
- 4:07:15like good luck slam the door and I just
- 4:07:18kind knew from then on how how was
- 4:07:21it the deputy said that uh one of the
- 4:07:26guys one they call the S guys Special
- 4:07:29Operations here in the WV
- 4:07:32yeah that was it next morning like when
- 4:07:35I got out take a shower I saw news paper
- 4:07:38and there's this big piece cut out of it
- 4:07:41know what that was about and I kind of
- 4:07:42saw like my last stand around like
- 4:07:49go we came back to talk to you someday
- 4:07:52would you want to talk to us again okay
- 4:07:55they just took me off guard I had no
- 4:07:57idea
- 4:07:59yeah we didn't really want to tell you
- 4:08:01we were coming because we didn't want
- 4:08:02you to have anxiety about this coming
- 4:08:05not anxiety yeah so we figured the lit
- 4:08:07attack was probably the best course to
- 4:08:11like the first time we met recky oh you
- 4:08:13knew when you were meeting me I just did
- 4:08:17you just don't have all your props here
- 4:08:18today that's right certain props man
- 4:08:21those sophisticated equipment it is
- 4:08:24right
- 4:08:25right spef an instrument I don't know
- 4:08:28that that's GNA happen we might not ever
- 4:08:30see each other
- 4:08:31again but I think we would honestly your
- 4:08:35experience is definitely interesting
- 4:08:38um you yourself are
- 4:08:42definitely we see things in you that we
- 4:08:44didn't expect to and we don't see things
- 4:08:46and you think we expected to see so it's
- 4:08:49very interesting to us and it's um I
- 4:08:52hope you can take a heart that today was
- 4:08:54a lot about us learning how to do
- 4:08:56better how to talk to people better how
- 4:08:58to do investigations better I mean like
- 4:09:01I had never talked to a police officer
- 4:09:03before or like FBI CBI anything like
- 4:09:06that so that was all new to me like like
- 4:09:08I said everything that I've ever seen as
- 4:09:09far as you know the authorities have
- 4:09:12been on to me so I I didn't know like
- 4:09:15what to expect espe when I got that
- 4:09:16interrogation room just felt like
- 4:09:18exactly what it looked like just like no
- 4:09:21you guys poke and PR and then leave come
- 4:09:25back in it's like give me time to St
- 4:09:27time to like you know think and it's
- 4:09:28just like it works it just really like I
- 4:09:32don't know just drills more questions
- 4:09:35into your own mind and set up like like
- 4:09:37you know just staying in the room and
- 4:09:39just asking questions all the time mhm
- 4:09:41you liked it when we took breaks like
- 4:09:43you think that worked on you I did you
- 4:09:46were like watching vide of the girls at
- 4:09:48one point do you remember that them
- 4:09:51giggling and laughing and like when I
- 4:09:53was in the interrogation room

- 4:10:00thought you had my already had my phone
- 4:10:02no we didn't take your phone towards the
- 4:10:03end towards the end okay
- 4:10:08that was weird for
- 4:10:09me that's like when you put that picture
- 4:10:13in front of me yeah and that's what F
- 4:10:15made me do it because I didn't have a
- 4:10:18signal in there but that's like videos I
- 4:10:20had on my
- 4:10:21phone was just like I wish I had taken
- 4:10:24those videos out more often before all
- 4:10:26that happened
- 4:10:27but that
- 4:10:29definitely definitely got in my head a
- 4:10:34lot I don't know where that picture was
- 4:10:37from I never seen that picture the one
- 4:10:39we show you really I never seen she seen
- 4:10:41that dress

- 4:10:51dress and the boots not that dress those
- 4:10:54are her favorite winter boots and she
- 4:10:56was summer winter boots yeah but that
- 4:10:58white dress was a little different I

- 4:11:05remember cuz I just she just for the
- 4:11:07other day and I had to button up the
- 4:11:09back and it's been different Dr but not

- 4:11:20thect Facebook Shannon's Facebook so
- 4:11:23maybe it was while you weren't there or
- 4:11:25something you don't recall that huh CU
- 4:11:28there's a lot of pictures I guess I had
- 4:11:30can see North Carolina that my parents
- 4:11:33have like especially like Fourth of July
- 4:11:36and stuff and like fourth July dresses
- 4:11:37on something like that I never saw
- 4:11:40oh some I had in my phone but you know
- 4:11:42that that white dress and never like

- 4:11:48this andell little dress that she
- 4:11:51had her little a little awkward smile
- 4:11:54there in the
- 4:11:58back yeah that that definitely
- 4:12:03might did the when we have the picture
- 4:12:06out there for you
- 4:12:08see to us it didn't feel like that we
- 4:12:10didn't elit any
- 4:12:14emotion my dad like we don't show
- 4:12:16emotion like were you fighting it down
- 4:12:18or were you just not a guy to show it
- 4:12:21like most of the time I'm not a guy to
- 4:12:22show it like I I hold it in as much as I
- 4:12:25can and like KN myself I've you know
- 4:12:27pred a lot obviously
- 4:12:31but like I'm not really a got show
- 4:12:34what I don't like I know
- 4:12:38I try to hold as much as I
- 4:12:41can you were a difficult guy to
- 4:12:44read especially at the house that
- 4:12:48day that makes total
- 4:12:53sense I I knew it was like I like in
- 4:12:56shock or just like disbelief or just
- 4:12:58like some people said I look like I was
- 4:12:59a
- 4:13:00heartless no soul person soulless
- 4:13:03person when they did like the TV
- 4:13:06interviews or something I'm just like G
- 4:13:08I saw
- 4:13:10it I don't even want to know what I
- 4:13:12looked like what I sounded
- 4:13:16like but you obviously feeling it then
- 4:13:19you just weren't yeah just like nothing
- 4:13:21registered at all everything was like
- 4:13:24just harbored deep down and then like I
- 4:13:26think it was just one night when I was
- 4:13:28on myself just all hit me all at one
- 4:13:30point not the fact that I was in jail
- 4:13:32but fact that like everybody was gone
- 4:13:35right and none of it
- 4:13:38I think if it was like an know like if
- 4:13:41something happens to your family like in
- 4:13:42like an accident like a car accident or
- 4:13:44like something like horrible like that
- 4:13:46they have to registers at one point but
- 4:13:48if like you did it I don't know if like
- 4:13:51it just doesn't register point it's it's
- 4:13:54like in my head it never registered does
- 4:13:57it seem real now oh it's it felt feels
- 4:14:00real like like I see pictures I just
- 4:14:03know like you know where they were at
- 4:14:05when they were doing that you know where
- 4:14:07then when I first had like a some type
- 4:14:09of hearing over the phone and I heard
- 4:14:11like uh Frank and Sandy and Frankie and
- 4:14:14the they on the phone and I forgot what
- 4:14:17kind of hearing it was something about
- 4:14:20like a probate hearing or something I
- 4:14:21knew exactly where they were in the back
- 4:14:22I heard the birst trip I knew they were
- 4:14:23on the back deck and I just like walked
- 4:14:26back to myself just B my eyes I knew got
- 4:14:28where they
- 4:14:29were I know how many times the girls
- 4:14:31were were back there
- 4:14:33and it's just weird how Mo motion is
- 4:14:35process differently for me everybody
- 4:14:37else
- 4:14:38M like something like you said like you
- 4:14:41said like um you lost your kids in the
- 4:14:44grocery store for 5 seconds she'd be a a
- 4:14:46mess and then like you
- 4:14:49know for me it'd be like you know I'd be
- 4:14:52I'd be panicked by ibly would cry I'd be
- 4:14:53like like looking around trying to find
- 4:14:55them but it's like it just process
- 4:14:56different me I never knew why never know
- 4:15:06why
- 4:15:09I don't want to think I'm like a
- 4:15:10coldhearted person it's just a matter
- 4:15:12of don't show it show that the emotion
- 4:15:15as much as other people
- 4:15:19do even when like you know the girls
- 4:15:23left North Carolina like you know her
- 4:15:25chance brother mom and dad were all
- 4:15:27crying when they left and it's just kind
- 4:15:29of like you know I never really saw my
- 4:15:31parents get like that when they
- 4:15:34left like I don't know if it's like
- 4:15:36you're born now wor like your family
- 4:15:38doesn't show emotion like that is that
- 4:15:40what you're saying yeah like you
- 4:15:42know my dad couldn't really speak at the
- 4:15:45sentencing hearing because he said he
- 4:15:47was kind of like he was he said he was
- 4:15:48going to lose
- 4:15:49it like like lose his emotion like
- 4:15:52really hit me just kind like I never
- 4:15:53seen him like you know like that
- 4:15:56like like
- 4:15:59vulnerable but nobody really ever seen
- 4:16:01me that way either that's why like maybe
- 4:16:03I just was it ever like your [ __ ] if
- 4:16:05you're like that or was it just
- 4:16:07something you just just never
- 4:16:09did I never saw my dad cry or maybe it's
- 4:16:13just something that you know was in in
- 4:16:15my brain that maybe I shouldn't have cry
- 4:16:18maybe was your mom like a loving mom
- 4:16:20like a doting mom and you know would
- 4:16:23give you affection and hugs and kisses
- 4:16:25oh yeah she'd always like asked me like
- 4:16:26you know what was going on like she said
- 4:16:27was always hard to read she never she
- 4:16:29never knew what was going on but did she
- 4:16:31still try and give you affection when
- 4:16:33growing up yeah she was she always my
- 4:16:36sister sister was always a parent like
- 4:16:39it was always like what was going on she
- 4:16:40always just like she's always open with
- 4:16:42me it was always just you know both
- 4:16:44off and she always wanted to know what
- 4:16:47was going on like how I felt I just like
- 4:16:49no okay thought to get her even if
- 4:16:52something even if something was wrong
- 4:16:54like I would have probably never said
- 4:16:55anything CU like I just don't with with
- 4:16:58myself but I don't know that just
- 4:17:01growing up that way just kept me in that
- 4:17:04way deal with things on your but then
- 4:17:07build up so much that you can't deal
- 4:17:09with them and they take them take a hold
- 4:17:11of you you never thought in a way could
- 4:17:14take hold of
- 4:17:15you do you think that as a result of
- 4:17:17just bottling up for so
- 4:17:22long what do you remember your dad
- 4:17:24saying and
- 4:17:27sentencing I
- 4:17:29remember there was a scripture it was
- 4:17:31one John 1 b
- 4:17:34n and then like a lot of it the other
- 4:17:37their representative said for him my mom
- 4:17:41said a lot my mom spoke but everything
- 4:17:44my dad had written down to the person
- 4:17:47said but know there he always was
- 4:17:50talking about going little game and
- 4:17:53races and stuff like
- 4:17:55that going to being my coach and
- 4:17:58everything like that soing that you know
- 4:18:00I can experience the same type of Joy
- 4:18:02doing that for my
- 4:18:05girls I read mom saying she loves you
- 4:18:08and she always well no it's pretty
- 4:18:11important to hear good good then she
- 4:18:13said I forgive you son yeah that was big
- 4:18:16right yeah Dad when we came here today
- 4:18:20we were just hoping and praying that we
- 4:18:23would take your dad but remember what
- 4:18:25said I hope you get a chance to talk
- 4:18:27talk about it okay okay I think that's
- 4:18:29what today was don't
- 4:18:31you yeah I think you one those didn't
- 4:18:33expected to be
- 4:18:35today
- 4:18:38so da made some comments during that
- 4:18:39sentencing hearing
- 4:18:41about your emotions and having no
- 4:18:43emotions very remember all that yeah
- 4:18:46just like you know he lied to us from
- 4:18:48the start and a couple other things I
- 4:18:51believe that's what he was saying what
- 4:18:53do you think do you think he was
- 4:18:56anywhere close to what do you think of
- 4:18:58what basically what is your opinion of
- 4:19:00what he
- 4:19:01said I mean it's it's going to be you
- 4:19:04know taking all his evidence and put the
- 4:19:07story that he that he wanted to convey
- 4:19:09and like if you don't know me that's
- 4:19:12where you're going to that's where
- 4:19:13you're going to portray me like if you
- 4:19:14take
- 4:19:16everything from August 13th to now like
- 4:19:19that's how people are going to know
- 4:19:20that's how people there go other way
- 4:19:23people are going to opinionate
- 4:19:24themselves about me just by what they
- 4:19:27see right there right they're going to
- 4:19:28say okay they look at the guy that did
- 4:19:32that did the interviews on the 14th and
- 4:19:34they see okay that I guess should be
- 4:19:36like you know on his hands and knees
- 4:19:38like crying his eyes out and what's he
- 4:19:39doing he's just like you know he's just
- 4:19:41talking and they're just
- 4:19:43like and I
- 4:19:45know and maybe got some information
- 4:19:48maybe from like her friend saying that
- 4:19:50he was cheating on her or something like
- 4:19:51that he's a cold person he was you know
- 4:19:53trying to do this and that like they
- 4:19:56don't know me they're that's always
- 4:19:58going to be their opion about me because
- 4:20:00there's one church service the only one
- 4:20:02I've family gone to in here and uh said
- 4:20:04do not Define him by one moment in your
- 4:20:07life and I think that's like people are
- 4:20:10defining Me by One One Moment In My Life
- 4:20:12they don't know like what happened
- 4:20:14before what can happen
- 4:20:16later I just hope that you
- 4:20:18know maybe hopefully one day people can
- 4:20:21start stop judging
- 4:20:22everybody there's tons of people in here
- 4:20:24that you know I don't even want to know
- 4:20:26what they did because I don't want to
- 4:20:27judge them like you know like I'm not
- 4:20:29that person like you know they know what
- 4:20:31I did I'm not going to ask them what
- 4:20:32they did you
- 4:20:35know makes sense you did show some
- 4:20:39emotion during that
- 4:20:41hearing um what part do you think you
- 4:20:44felt most
- 4:20:47emotional I felt when Frank was talking
- 4:20:50about you
- 4:20:52know when
- 4:20:54he I didn't know what what to expect
- 4:20:56when he first start talking but you know
- 4:20:58he instead of the evil monster that that
- 4:21:02that rang in me and he's said I toss him
- 4:21:04away like garbage and that hurt
- 4:21:07and you know when s was talking about
- 4:21:09that
- 4:21:11video about was calling me your hero and
- 4:21:15that that triggered it a lot there
- 4:21:18Frankie was saying know like I'll never
- 4:21:21be called on again but you'll never be
- 4:21:22called a dad
- 4:21:25again that really
- 4:21:27stump but you
- 4:21:31know when my parents got up there just
- 4:21:34like was hearing my mom and dad talk you
- 4:21:36know just like like they really couldn't
- 4:21:37look at me that they really couldn't
- 4:21:38look at me but I'm just still like you
- 4:21:41know everything they
- 4:21:44said they forgive me and that you know
- 4:21:47I'm still their
- 4:21:48son no matter what
- 4:21:51y it was I know like even know my
- 4:21:55attorneys told me like you need to show
- 4:21:56a little more emotion because I guess
- 4:21:58they first time I went to the courtroom
- 4:22:00I didn't know I didn't know what to
- 4:22:01expect I'm still
- 4:22:05like knew to everything just in shock
- 4:22:07about what was going on and they said I
- 4:22:10was just a cold person just looking at
- 4:22:15it when I was when I did The Plea and at
- 4:22:18the heing it just all all that felt was
- 4:22:21more real than
- 4:22:31anything I remember growing up my pastor
- 4:22:33used to tell
- 4:22:34me it's better better to be one foot out
- 4:22:38of hell facing Heaven than one foot out
- 4:22:40of Heaven facing hell MH so I think
- 4:22:43that's You Been to Hell and now you're
- 4:22:46facing the right direction def I
- 4:22:48definitely feel like it's I never knew I
- 4:22:51I could have a relationship like I do
- 4:22:52now but I just that's like the Amazing
- 4:22:55Grace with all of this but I just wish
- 4:22:56nobody had to pay any kind of price for
- 4:22:59this I know there's a purpose for
- 4:23:01everybody I just just hope that I can
- 4:23:04get find m yeah seeking peace right
- 4:23:08that's
- 4:23:09good the only thing you really can do
- 4:23:11right now is to seek peace and we hope
- 4:23:13pray that everybody can find it
- 4:23:16too for everybody that was involved t
- 4:23:19for all of you just all your team and
- 4:23:24everybody friends anybody that
- 4:23:31would what do you want to happen with
- 4:23:32this
- 4:23:35information
- 4:23:37I mean I know you're probably going to
- 4:23:39tell uh Frank Sandy and Frank you just
- 4:23:41kind of give them a little closure right
- 4:23:44yeah I don't know how much I'm going to
- 4:23:46tell them obviously you know Sandy
- 4:23:48better than I she wants to know
- 4:23:50everything um but um I'm G to digest a
- 4:23:53little bit before I talk to him about it
- 4:23:56I don't think there's any Rush on there
- 4:23:59and U but other than that I have no
- 4:24:01intention of talking to anybody outside
- 4:24:04of law enforc but
- 4:24:08U what would you like to see happen with
- 4:24:10it I mean I mean I'd like to tell my
- 4:24:13parents you know when they get here
- 4:24:15instead of like finding out anywhere
- 4:24:17else
- 4:24:20yep I know like they've they've been
- 4:24:22bombarded with information from like you
- 4:24:25know from the the Amanda girl to the
- 4:24:28Trent guy to like people going on inside
- 4:24:32aition saying they knew me or went out
- 4:24:34with me or had like whatever else would
- 4:24:35make
- 4:24:37and then like I don't I don't want them
- 4:24:39to think that it's like other like false
- 4:24:41information going out there cuz like
- 4:24:43people are getting whole information
- 4:24:44like where did they get this information
- 4:24:45from type deal would you like to see
- 4:24:48those people
- 4:24:51charged know people people take
- 4:24:53advantage of situations and you know
- 4:24:56they got to honestly they have to look
- 4:24:58into themselves and just figure out why
- 4:25:00they did it themselves so I mean I don't
- 4:25:03think tarting them would help they just
- 4:25:06need to work out their work out whatever
- 4:25:08they got going
- 4:25:10on within
- 4:25:12themselves I mean if did you ever have a
- 4:25:15profile on Tinder or anything like that
- 4:25:17any of those
- 4:25:18dating websites or
- 4:25:22anything I just have Facebook
- 4:25:31Instagram I didn't even know what the
- 4:25:33what St thing was called that's I was
- 4:25:36like John you never heard of that no I
- 4:25:38was like I don't even know what that is
- 4:25:40it's gu's fishing for
- 4:25:43something sorry you had to waste your
- 4:25:45time go out there and talk to him it was
- 4:25:48a big time waste was a big waste of time
- 4:25:53yeah but you would not want to be listed
- 4:25:55as a victim in that case as far as him
- 4:25:58being charged with like false reporting
- 4:26:00I mean it's he's whoever's GNA try to
- 4:26:06get their five minutes 15 minutes F
- 4:26:08whatever they want to do with this I
- 4:26:09mean that's that's on them I mean if
- 4:26:12he's will do that
- 4:26:15then just he needs he needs to figure
- 4:26:18out what's going on with himself before
- 4:26:20like you I I don't think charting
- 4:26:22something's going to fix that so it just
- 4:26:24be a waste of time I
- 4:26:33think anything else before we
- 4:26:37way
- 4:26:39um be afraid to
- 4:26:42ask how things in Colorado now I mean
- 4:26:45since all this everything's quiet now
- 4:26:48everything's yeah we had another guy
- 4:26:51murder his um beyon girlfriend whatever
- 4:26:56you that's me the weather I'm sure
- 4:26:58you've probably seen that on news no
- 4:27:00everything here's
- 4:27:03B one I think though I think here was
- 4:27:05like Jamie CLA thing love to hear about
- 4:27:09oh yes we were just talking about that
- 4:27:10out front but the girl was kidnapped
- 4:27:13yeah shed that for like 0
- 4:27:16days he'll probably come here they said
- 4:27:20he's in some county tril is
- 4:27:27right yeah so all i s was like stuff I
- 4:27:31trying to it's like everything happened
- 4:27:32here
- 4:27:33so you guys stay night there
- 4:27:41sorry definitely yeah you mind if I take
- 4:27:44a picture of you just to show what you
- 4:27:46look like now you just look so different
- 4:27:48then I just you know like it's not going
- 4:27:50to go on social media or anything it's
- 4:27:51just for like our own record okay is
- 4:27:53that okay that's
- 4:27:58fine were you ask me him something sorry
- 4:28:01I was just gonna say it's like the the
- 4:28:03roads in the background is verying up
- 4:28:04you know I know
- 4:28:06when it's snowing it's
- 4:28:14horrendous baby ice bracing actually of
- 4:28:17ice BRAC yeah we had spikes on the tire
- 4:28:19then
- 4:28:21so all right Chris want you get back to
- 4:28:25your want finish your drink yes he let
- 4:28:28me take that
- 4:28:34back I had to shave it they recommended
- 4:28:36I Chang my appearance at the RDC
- 4:28:39so why is that just so people didn't
- 4:28:42recognize you
- 4:28:47oh yeah I just shaved it all out that
- 4:28:51razor I can set the razor they have here
- 4:28:53it's like a it's a single blade but like
- 4:28:56I'm like a safety razor right oh it's
- 4:28:58more than said that's like it's more
- 4:29:00safety than actually a razor that's why
- 4:29:02I doesn't
- 4:29:04shade
- 4:29:06like a sharp
- 4:29:08Rock just imagine shaving the same spot
- 4:29:11for like five minutes and then finally
- 4:29:14something starts going starts warm it up
- 4:29:17or something I don't know you prob
- 4:29:18better just bling them out or
- 4:29:24something everything here's for safety
- 4:29:26so like yeah I think like once I get
- 4:29:28with the GP I can have something oh that
- 4:29:31makes
- 4:29:32sense most the guys he can't have haers
- 4:29:35so
- 4:29:36well it makes you feel better probably
- 4:29:38watch me other guys they stand out they
- 4:29:40stand next to them while they shave that
- 4:29:42would think kind of weird oh so they
- 4:29:45have any other jobs like if uh like

- 4:33:25news like for people in like Chicago and
- 4:33:27all those places not to take deep
- 4:33:29breaths so it's like freezing their
- 4:33:32lungs was say like cold from Canada that

- 4:34:00don't really know much about state or
- 4:34:01anything about what's going on in here
- 4:34:03but like from what I see it's I mean
- 4:34:05they say it's decent yeah they said it's
- 4:34:08a lot better than going anywhere else
- 4:34:10yeah that's generally the word is you
- 4:34:12hear it's not as bad at other places
- 4:34:13that means it's pretty good yeah so like
- 4:34:16I'm just just hoping and praying that I
- 4:34:17can help people here and that just keep
- 4:34:19me around mayble to make me like a
- 4:34:20personal care worker or something help
- 4:34:23other inmates Mentor I guess they have a
- 4:34:25couple guys that are certain life S turn
- 4:34:28into personal care workers with
- 4:34:29counselors help other guys when they
- 4:34:31come in where I can do
- 4:34:34that
- 4:34:36they don't have like the normal programs
- 4:34:38you would have but
- 4:34:41not like some guys like try to they want
- 4:34:44to get like extra degrees and stuff like
- 4:34:46that they don't have that here you have
- 4:34:47to go to one of the other
- 4:34:53places so if you just said I want you
- 4:34:55know do some more education and stuff
- 4:34:57would you get moved to another place or
- 4:34:59totally up to them whether you totally
- 4:35:02up because like I'm not sure how that
- 4:35:04gets paid for
- 4:35:07right like I'll just whatever they want
- 4:35:10me to do I what
- 4:35:14do they back to Colorado I'll be like
- 4:35:17why why don't go back to Colorado oh if
- 4:35:20they told you that you would question
- 4:35:22that oh like after if I was here for a
- 4:35:24long time and then say okay since you
- 4:35:26leveled down then mov you back like like
- 4:35:29what
- 4:35:31but know that will
- 4:35:34go are you scared to level down though
- 4:35:37no I mean it take it take years for that
- 4:35:39to happen but like I don't know I don't
- 4:35:42know how it would be like in Colorado
- 4:35:43and a doc
- 4:35:46there a PSU counselor she worked Doc in
- 4:35:49Colorado and California she said
- 4:35:51Colorado looks like California now
- 4:35:53really says she said bad I'll beginning
- 4:35:58violence see that
- 4:36:02yeah changing
- 4:36:08yeah I think people up part of the
- 4:36:09country are just different overall
- 4:36:13really we kind of talked about that
- 4:36:16earlier not used to
- 4:36:19be be
- 4:36:22nice think a lot of transplants probably
- 4:36:24moving in Colorado from other states and
- 4:36:27probably know Dave cologne he said they
- 4:36:30moving to Florida just to get away from
- 4:36:31Colorado it's they
- 4:36:34changed
- 4:36:36you're so
- 4:36:40expensive houses just keep going up and
- 4:36:43up before any kind of like a half an
- 4:36:45acre of land who's going to pay s l
- 4:36:50money here I think it's a lot cheaper
- 4:36:53but it pays a lot it's much lower I
- 4:36:56think
- 4:36:56too yeah I was doing a little reading on
- 4:36:59the area and the median house price
- 4:37:01appears like
- 4:37:04116,000 you can't even buy a mailbox
- 4:37:06call out
- 4:37:08for box right
- 4:37:10there want a PO Box call out
- 4:37:16100 think I was reading like Pittsburgh
- 4:37:19kind of like the same
- 4:37:20way it's like crazy to think about how
- 4:37:23much it varies from like state to state
