- 9:18answer them if you want okay is that
- 9:20cool
- 9:26yeah there was some question about you
- 9:28being
- 9:31um well let's let's start with this what
- 9:34have you been up to since um since
- 9:38Travis's death what have you been
- 9:42doing um well I've been working I
- 9:46haven't been really working in prepaid
- 9:47legal there's not a whole lot um here in
- 9:50this Marketplace which is it's kind of
- 9:52small here it's small here and really
- 9:54that that could be seen as an
- 9:56opportunity um rather than um a
- 9:58hindrance because that just means the
- 10:00market is is untapped in a large way so
- 10:03I could have if I wanted to but I have
- 10:06I'm kind of like a deer in the
- 10:07headlights when it comes to preate legal
- 10:09and I kind I just have a fear of just
- 10:11approaching people um so I've been
- 10:14working at a Mexican restaurant in the
- 10:16north end of
- 10:17town
- 10:19um I've
- 10:23been I've been kind of in a days at
- 10:26least for the first few
- 10:27weeks um
- 10:31like everybody you know yeah um I know
- 10:34that a lot of people have been posting
- 10:36on Facebook really nice things you know
- 10:39and memories and at one point I was like
- 10:41well maybe I should do that so I posted
- 10:43this thing and I just set all my
- 10:45memories
- 10:46and I realized looking back on it that
- 10:48it was kind of It kind of sounded
- 10:50immature it's more of like my dear
- 10:51Travis kind of letter and so I took it
- 10:54down because personal yeah some of it
- 10:56was details more personal too personal
- 10:59nothing inappropriate just um I
- 11:03just felt funny I think because I'm a
- 11:06photographer I tend to communicate more
- 11:08through pictures so I posted a ton of
- 11:10pictures that I had of him um and I have
- 11:13a ton more that I just can't access
- 11:14right
- 11:16now and videos and things that I know
- 11:18his family would want but
- 11:21um so I posted pictures and I took that
- 11:24down and I posted something last week
- 11:26but other than that I've been on
- 11:28Facebook in mypace a lot looking at his
- 11:30profile looking at his pictures reading
- 11:33things um about his obituaries and um
- 11:38any news updates and you know there's
- 11:40legacy.com where you can write something
- 11:43about him yeah um I've seen a lot of
- 11:46those
- 11:48postings
- 11:49um I didn't realize until I actually
- 11:52spoke with Ryan
- 11:54Burns he he told the guy that's in Utah
- 11:57and we've been talking a lot we try talk
- 11:59about that because it's kind of like and
- 12:01plus Travis is my ex-boyfriend but at
- 12:03the same time he's my friend so while
- 12:05I'm mourning my friend how do you talk
- 12:06to your new potential possible Maybe
- 12:09person that you might start dating about
- 12:11your friend even though think he was
- 12:12your ex-boyfriend so it's kind of a gray
- 12:13area I try not to talk about him too
- 12:15much but he comes up a lot
- 12:19um and it was through him that I learned
- 12:22that he said you know if you come out to
- 12:23Utah things are really weird because
- 12:24everyone is everyone thinks that you
- 12:26could have had a um a hand I've talked
- 12:28to a l lot of people
- 12:30and everybody's pointing a finger at you
- 12:33I know you know everybody is saying I
- 12:36don't understand what happened to Travis
- 12:39I don't know who killed
- 12:41him but you need to look at
- 12:44Jody and sometimes the simplest answers
- 12:49are the correct ones and that's one of
- 12:52the reasons I started looking at you a
- 12:53little bit
- 12:55closer and over the last month or so
- 13:00I've gotten into Travis's life talked to
- 13:03all his friends his family I got a
- 13:06really good understanding of who he is
- 13:09now
- 13:11and I got a very good understanding of
- 13:13your relationship with
- 13:15him and I'm kind of just putting two and
- 13:19two
- 13:20together well I and it and it kind of
- 13:23matches so one of the reasons I'm here
- 13:26is to talk to you to figure out what was
- 13:29going on between you two what I know the
- 13:31relationship that you guys had was of
- 13:33convenience sometimes obviously you
- 13:36weren't boyfriend and girlfriend anymore
- 13:38but you were still having a sexual
- 13:42relationship which does his family know
- 13:45about that just curious his family
- 13:48doesn't know anything okay yeah I just
- 13:51I'm I'm interested in protecting his how
- 13:53he's remembered as well and you know
- 13:56he's he was very he was
- 14:00um well I'm sure if Travis could speak
- 14:02right now he wouldn't care what people
- 14:03thought about him because they knew who
- 14:06he was okay a sexual relationship here
- 14:09or there because the fact he was a
- 14:11member of the church really doesn't
- 14:13matter times a whole range of of things
- 14:17yeah I think in the broad scope of
- 14:19things that that could be right I just
- 14:21think that the reason I care about that
- 14:22is because he was adamant about that a
- 14:24couple times we prayed about it didn't
- 14:27work or we didn't stick to our you know
- 14:29our guns on it and um one time a
- 14:32girlfriend of mine just said why don't
- 14:33you just go to your bishop and talk and
- 14:35and ask Travis the same and I talked to
- 14:36him about and he got really angry he
- 14:38said I've already had problems with this
- 14:40in the past I'm embarrassed by it I
- 14:41don't want to go to my bishop and so we
- 14:44just kind of stopped for like a few
- 14:46weeks and then that must have been in I
- 14:48think that was August and then it just
- 14:51resumed well the way Travis thought by
- 14:54you know getting into his head and
- 14:55everything that he's written in his
- 14:57journals and um everything I found out
- 15:00about him he he truly had feelings for
- 15:04you and for some
- 15:07reason he felt that the relationship
- 15:09between you and him was somewhat
- 15:11unhealthy but he couldn't stop
- 15:14it and I assume that's probably maybe
- 15:18the same way you felt about him or it's
- 15:21maybe you didn't understand why he
- 15:23didn't believe it was healthy no I I
- 15:25didn't think it was healthy either
- 15:27spiritually at least and probably emot
- 15:29but mostly spiritually and I think that
- 15:31kind of once you have something that's
- 15:33not healthy spiritually it filters
- 15:34through all aspects of your life um it's
- 15:38it's one of the M it's one like there
- 15:40were three main reasons I moved back to
- 15:41AA and one was I was in financial dire
- 15:44traits um I was not getting ahead I was
- 15:47not I just things were not working
- 15:49everything in Arizona was like except
- 15:51for the wonderful friends that I made in
- 15:53my ward um and the opportunity it's like
- 15:56the Mormon land of opportunity there
- 15:57which is awesome but except for all that
- 15:59like every sign was pointing just just
- 16:02go you know you know I wasn't able to
- 16:05hold a job and that had never happened
- 16:06before
- 16:08um it you know too much of my my night
- 16:12life can was was about him you know he
- 16:15would text me and hey I'm getting sleepy
- 16:17dot dot dot a bunch of Z's and that was
- 16:20his code to like come on over kind of
- 16:24thing coast is clear you know so um you
- 16:28know and that was just I lived 5 minutes
- 16:30away 10 maybe 10 depending and it was
- 16:33just too convenient and too easy and it
- 16:34was fun and we had fun when we were
- 16:36together and so it wasn't healthy and I
- 16:38totally agree with that um so that was
- 16:41one of the re well financially I wasn't
- 16:43doing well I missed my family I moved
- 16:45away um shortly after high school and I
- 16:47come back to visit but I realize over
- 16:49the years I've missed out on a lot of
- 16:50things with my little brother and sister
- 16:53missed out on just U their karate or
- 16:57their baseball or cheerleading
- 17:00or just whatever and um and my dad is
- 17:04not doing well he doesn't think he has
- 17:07very long to live but he always says
- 17:09that he been that way for like a decade
- 17:11he's still here thank goodness um my
- 17:14grandparents aren't getting any younger
- 17:16and I just have an awesome
- 17:18family and I wanted to be able to just
- 17:21be here for a little bit and regroup um
- 17:24financially I owe my parents a lot of
- 17:26money and I owe my grandparents a lot of
- 17:28money and I I owe friends money I
- 17:31owe I owe my um the guy that I bought a
- 17:35house with I owe him a lot of money he
- 17:37doesn't ask me for it but I intend to
- 17:38pay him back because he really footed
- 17:41the bill on the mortgage for a few
- 17:43months
- 17:45um and the third reason and I like to
- 17:48put this third because I like to think
- 17:50that second of those reasons I would
- 17:51have been strong enough somehow but the
- 17:53third reason was to put a distance a
- 17:55physical distance between Travis and I
- 17:57because I know that he really liked Mimi
- 18:00and he said he did
- 18:03um he just I kind of felt guilty I mean
- 18:07I know they weren't dating but I just
- 18:08felt guilty somehow and I didn't know
- 18:11Ryan at the time I met him in in
- 18:14marchette um in Oklahoma City and it was
- 18:16just brief and I remember seeing him and
- 18:18saying oh I really want to go say hi to
- 18:20him but he was surrounded by people and
- 18:22it was he was kind of
- 18:23unapproachable um and he says he
- 18:25remembers meeting me too and it wasn't
- 18:27until Z my friend um texted me and yeah
- 18:32I think I told you that's and this is
- 18:34all after this is broke up oh broke up a
- 18:37Travis everything was all over I'm yeah
- 18:39for S of the timeline we broke I well it
- 18:42was kind of a mutual thing but I sort of
- 18:45more broke up with him um and I it was
- 18:48hard to do because I really loved him
- 18:50but I just realized that without trust
- 18:52you can't have anything and I violated
- 18:54him TR is is that the main reason you
- 18:55guys broke up is the trust trust I think
- 18:59that there's not that the relationship
- 19:01was unhealthy because of you know sexual
- 19:03activity prity but just that you guys
- 19:06couldn't trust each other I think that
- 19:08and this doesn't make it right I think
- 19:10that you know being a convert you know
- 19:12I've had I've I've been I've had a
- 19:15couple of serious relationships before
- 19:17where I was where I was intimate with a
- 19:18few people
- 19:21and it's kind of silly but I used to
- 19:24always joke that um regardless of what
- 19:27the Bible says and yes I'm Christian I
- 19:29just live my life by the Ten
- 19:30Commandments and that's my those are my
- 19:31rules D D D D D you know Thou shalt not
- 19:35this or that but it doesn't say thou
- 19:36shalt not fornicate so I I just used to
- 19:38joke about that and it's it's a bad
- 19:41philosophy um I think that with Travis
- 19:45um there was part there was a part of me
- 19:46that felt really guilty because there
- 19:48was something inside that thought you're
- 19:50you're you know this is nice for instant
- 19:52gratification but you're destroying what
- 19:53you could have with Travis and that's
- 19:56why we we did pray about it we not by
- 19:59his bed once and
- 20:01um
- 20:03and surprisingly he suggested it
- 20:06normally you know we would I would
- 20:08suggest that we pray before we go on a
- 20:09trip or before we eat if we're alone
- 20:12that was kind of unusual for
- 20:13him yeah because he was very resistant
- 20:16to prayer with me I mean I think in
- 20:18church it would been fine and I feel
- 20:20that maybe
- 20:21because we we were driving away the
- 20:23spirit
- 20:25constantly um or maybe he felt that by
- 20:28invting the spirit he would feel guilty
- 20:30about later on in the evening or I don't
- 20:32know what the deal was or the excuse he
- 20:35used was because I'm a convert I need
- 20:36more practice saying prayers he's like
- 20:38so I'd say will you say a prayer he's
- 20:40like why don't you say a prayer I'm why
- 20:42don't you say a prayer why don't you say
- 20:43a prayer so we'd go back and forth and I
- 20:46don't know until I don't know it's just
- 20:49one time when I was on a trip with at
- 20:51hav aupai we were all getting on the
- 20:52road and I think Dan it was with Dan
- 20:55Freeman and his sister Desiree and they
- 20:57were all like um Jody will you say a
- 20:59prayer and I said sure and Travis was
- 21:03like anyway I I didn't want to argue
- 21:05with them so um anyway what was I saying
- 21:09well he's
- 21:12um you know the whole trust issue keeps
- 21:15coming back into my mind that was the
- 21:18big reason he was a he was a big time
- 21:20flirt and that's the one thing everybody
- 21:22says about him he flirts a lot um does
- 21:25he mean anything by it no not really
- 21:28just who he
- 21:29is um he did have you know girlfriends
- 21:32here or there and he was at a point in
- 21:34his life where he wanted to really start
- 21:37settling down he felt like he needed to
- 21:41kind of grow up you know become a
- 21:44husband become a father you know those
- 21:47that time had come and he felt that the
- 21:51time had come and gone and he was
- 21:52falling behind he told me that too he
- 21:55said he felt um like his time was
- 21:57running out I told him that you know
- 22:01despite the fact that he's not going to
- 22:02be in a singles War very much longer he
- 22:04still has a lot of options he's still a
- 22:06very eligible bachelor and he just
- 22:09didn't see it that way he's like you
- 22:10understand he's like that might be true
- 22:12but my chances are severely reduced once
- 22:14I turned 31 it was like this taking time
- 22:17well finding a a good Mormon girl you
- 22:20know was was difficult because in that
- 22:24church you know
- 22:26that most of the girls get married yeah
- 22:28early 20s yeah you know he said he
- 22:31didn't want to marry a girl in her early
- 22:3220s because he said that he noticed a
- 22:35lot of pattern the church with girls
- 22:37that married between 19 and 24 so to
- 22:39speak would would you know they'd start
- 22:42having babies and growing their family
- 22:45and um then they would look at their
- 22:47single girlfriends who are still having
- 22:48fun with no responsibilities and they
- 22:50would regret getting married and I think
- 22:51if you're strong in the church it's not
- 22:53so much a problem but yeah depends on
- 22:56who you surround yourself with too you
- 22:58surround yourself with the right people
- 23:00you know it's a different story but you
- 23:03know that's where he was and did you
- 23:06guys ever discuss possibly getting
- 23:08married or anything when we were dating
- 23:10we did okay once we broke up he brought
- 23:14it up he actually proposed to me a lot
- 23:17of times but he wasn't serious um I
- 23:20think he was he was serious once and it
- 23:23was when we broke up and um that was
- 23:26really hard because we were on the phone
- 23:28it was just like none of that stuff
- 23:30should be done on the phone anyway but I
- 23:31was hundreds of miles away and um I told
- 23:35him that I loved him we didn't say I
- 23:37love you during our relationship but we
- 23:38said it afterward it was weird Okay um
- 23:42um I said you know this isn't breaking
- 23:45up with him on the phone wasn't really
- 23:47the way I wanted to do it but it was
- 23:49kind of a situation that had just come
- 23:51to
- 23:52a a point where it just couldn't be
- 23:55ignored anymore and let's mve to after
- 23:57the break up
- 23:59oh okay what
- 24:02uh what kept you in Mesa at that
- 24:07point I actually moved to Mesa a few
- 24:09weeks after we broke up really mhm I
- 24:13mean as far as the timeline goes but I
- 24:16mean if you want to call it our official
- 24:17breakup shortly thereafter it's like we
- 24:20were still seeing each other so you guys
- 24:21were seeing each other but it was long
- 24:23distance type relationship it was always
- 24:25long distance when we were officially
- 24:27dating we didn't dat we dated from about
- 24:29the beginning of February to about the
- 24:31end of June so February March April May
- 24:34June about five months total okay June
- 24:37of 2007 you guys broke up and and then
- 24:40you moved to
- 24:41Mesa um yeah I moved to Mesa sort of
- 24:46most people when they break up they kind
- 24:48of go I know and it was and we plans
- 24:51were already in order for me to move
- 24:52there um I was already speaking with a
- 24:55friend who was you know was be her
- 24:58roommate and I was her roommate for a
- 25:00short time
- 25:03um she's kind of flighty she's a great
- 25:07girl though
- 25:09um I talked to Travis about maybe going
- 25:12to Southern California instead okay and
- 25:15he's really he's he's
- 25:20really persuasive he persuade you to
- 25:23stay there in Mesa he's he kind of was
- 25:26playing up all the advantages if I did
- 25:27come to up and if I did you know um he
- 25:32said you know it's it's a great place we
- 25:34could still see each other and hang out
- 25:36on occasion um this church is very
- 25:40strong you know you'll you'll make a lot
- 25:41of friends and I already knew all this
- 25:44stuff prior because I we talked about
- 25:46that
- 25:48um you know and so I went ahead and just
- 25:51made the move it sounded at the time
- 25:53like a good
- 25:54idea and you guys continued to kind of
- 25:57see each other at that time yeah at the
- 25:58time I was sort of living more across
- 26:00town over by greenfield do you know
- 26:01where that is it was up Greenfield near
- 26:04Broadway Greenfield Broadway where the
- 26:06nearest cross streets and that's where
- 26:07the girl that I was originally talking
- 26:09with I moved in with her yeah it's kind
- 26:11of far from yeah TR yeah um the thing
- 26:15about her and and just to give you a
- 26:17background of why I moved suddenly um
- 26:21she approached me the weekend after I
- 26:23got there and said hey she knocked on my
- 26:25door can I talk to you for a second I
- 26:26said sure and she moved in with her
- 26:27boyriend friend um and they were engaged
- 26:31okay and she said hey I just wanted to
- 26:32let you know that Scott and I went to
- 26:34Vegas last week in tied the knot and I
- 26:35was like really she's like yeah we
- 26:37haven't told anyone but we didn't want
- 26:38to live in sin so we're and she had
- 26:40already been sealed in the temple once
- 26:42and was waiting for her cancel or to
- 26:45ceing be yeah to be canell so they were
- 26:48going to have a civil wedding um on the
- 26:49beach in Oregon and they did that the
- 26:51following the following weekend she told
- 26:54me that on a Monday or Tuesday it was
- 26:57the beginning of the week and she said
- 26:59the reason I'm telling you that is
- 27:00because I'm getting married this weekend
- 27:02and I have to go out of town a few days
- 27:03ahead of Scott you know and make
- 27:05arrangements and now that he's a married
- 27:07man we don't feel it's right that you be
- 27:09here in the house she's I don't want to
- 27:11inconvenience you but is there any way
- 27:12you can stay with somebody else or just
- 27:13find another place the time I was
- 27:15waiting on a house in Gilbert because I
- 27:18already knew they were getting married
- 27:19so I was kind of looking anyway and
- 27:20there was a great girl named Brenda and
- 27:23she was waiting on her keys for the
- 27:24mortgage to go through and it was a
- 27:25great Ward it was a great house it was
- 27:27brand new um construction and all that
- 27:30was really nice um but she didn't get
- 27:31her keys for months and months I think
- 27:33she's in the house now but I don't know
- 27:34haven't talked to her um so I scrambled
- 27:38I went to The Institute I wrote down a
- 27:40bunch of phone numbers I called them all
- 27:42a lot of them I got voicemails um one
- 27:44girl that answered her name was Tiffany
- 27:46and she knew Travis and she was at his
- 27:48services in Arizona and um as well and
- 27:52we've just remained friends sort of like
- 27:54on MySpace and Facebook and that kind of
- 27:56thing but she said hey sorry that's
- 27:58posting I forgot to take it down but go
- 27:59to this website so ldsh housing.net I
- 28:01went there I made three phone calls um
- 28:04for the places that were within my price
- 28:05range I didn't think to look where they
- 28:07were um the one girl that called me back
- 28:09her name is Shannon derot she said
- 28:11here's my place here's the directions go
- 28:13ahead and go out and come see the house
- 28:15was available so we
- 28:17did go ahead you have to get that no
- 28:20okay um so I moved out there and when
- 28:23Travis found out it was so close to him
- 28:25he freaked out about it and I made made
- 28:28sure to check that it wasn't that that
- 28:31we wouldn't be in the same ward and it
- 28:32was within his Ward boundaries but it
- 28:34was also within another single's W
- 28:35boundaries so of course I'm going to go
- 28:36the other one because it would just be
- 28:37kind of weird I mean I didn't know about
- 28:41him and Lisa at first so I I don't know
- 28:45if they were even dating at that time I
- 28:47don't know what their whole timeline was
- 28:49um but it still would have been weird
- 28:51and it wouldn't have made during that
- 28:53time that he was seeing Lisa did you
- 28:55continue to see him as well yeah and I
- 28:58didn't know that he was seeing her okay
- 29:00but he would call you and have you come
- 29:02over yeah I know there was a time when
- 29:04you I guess were cleaning his house too
- 29:06for for extra money or something yeah I
- 29:08did that he hired you yeah I did that um
- 29:10because he knew that I was struggling
- 29:11and he he's like I've been doing the
- 29:14math and that happened pretty much right
- 29:15on I mean it started that started in
- 29:17August he's like I've done the math and
- 29:19I feel that I can be more protective um
- 29:22my time is more valuable than x out of
- 29:24dollars per hour so why don't I pay you
- 29:26this per hour and I'll work and you can
- 29:28make a little bit of money okay so that
- 29:30help that makes sense that was around
- 29:31the same time time frames at the move
- 29:34and back and forth it was like a few
- 29:35weeks after the move I was still living
- 29:38in with Rachel over on Greenfield okay
- 29:43before when that started and he sent me
- 29:45this picture and he's like this is your
- 29:47uniform have it by Friday or Thursday or
- 29:49whatever and it was this French made
- 29:51thing I was like no yeah that's him
- 29:53typical yeah like I said he's he's a
- 29:56very flirty guy and he is now obviously
- 30:01the Rachel relation or um notel Lisa
- 30:04relationship didn't work out and um and
- 30:08then there was a time period he really
- 30:09wasn't seeing anybody and then Mimi came
- 30:11into the picture um what did you think
- 30:14about her that I didn't know a lot about
- 30:16her she seems like a really nice girl he
- 30:18showed me her picture on Facebook you
- 30:20know I don't think she had a lot of
- 30:22pictures on there um he said that he's
- 30:26not sure why but he's pretty sure that
- 30:29she could be it and I was happy for him
- 30:33um I didn't find out about Le this
- 30:35conversation you had face to face with
- 30:36him yeah it was in his room um and he
- 30:40had his laptop you know just on his bed
- 30:42um I didn't find out about Lisa until
- 30:45after we BR we had this conversation
- 30:47where we decided to all just come clean
- 30:49um and that was quite a
- 30:52conversation um because I was never
- 30:55Unfaithful but there you know when we
- 30:57started dating that timeline around
- 30:59February the reason I remember February
- 31:02is because he had told me in December
- 31:04you know go date other people kind of
- 31:06thing and so I did um it was January
- 31:1010th that I went on a date with um my
- 31:13friend John for lunch we just went out
- 31:15and had sushi nothing romantic happened
- 31:17we didn't hold hands we didn't kiss
- 31:19think we huged and I guess it was
- 31:21considered a day because he asked me and
- 31:22I accepted and pay for it um and that
- 31:25was in Pasadena yeah if he pays for it
- 31:27today yeah yeah that was in Pasadena and
- 31:29the following evening I went out with my
- 31:32friend Abe and we he drinks he just got
- 31:35like um a maker Mark I think as what as
- 31:38his drink and I got cranberry juice and
- 31:41we just talked forever about it he
- 31:42talked about politics which is all these
- 31:43guys in the Marine Corps or something
- 31:45they're both in prepaid legal um John
- 31:47Dixon is not in prepa legal anymore he's
- 31:49moved on to other Ventures no but the uh
- 31:51the Marine Core are they in the service
- 31:53at all okay Abe is kind of he's a little
- 31:56bit older he's just sort of bus
- 31:58okay has a background in I don't
- 32:00remember production and this is during
- 32:02the time that you guys were broken up or
- 32:04still kind of going on I'm sorry this is
- 32:06before we started dating Okay the reason
- 32:08I say this is because he told me a few
- 32:10times he told me during that
- 32:11conversation too that he's like you seem
- 32:12to have a very convenient timeline for
- 32:14when we started dating because I I used
- 32:15to ask like when did we actually start
- 32:17dating because I figured if we ever made
- 32:19it to a year we might as well celebrate
- 32:20it um and he's like I'm not really sure
- 32:23and the reason I think it was February
- 32:262nd is because
- 32:28we do you know of Chris and Sky Hughes
- 32:32okay um I used to spend a lot of time at
- 32:34their house and um you know they're a
- 32:38wonderful family and uh sky was she
- 32:42she's somebody that I really opened up
- 32:44to and you know um I told her a little
- 32:48bit how I just wasn't sure about Travis
- 32:50at the time and and I I wasn't sure what
- 32:52was going on there and she wrote in this
- 32:54long letter or she didn't write a letter
- 32:57Travis wrote the letter but she um kind
- 32:59of got on his case and and I was and
- 33:02they told me all kinds of things about
- 33:03Travis that I
- 33:05wasn't aware of what kind of stuff are
- 33:07you talking about
- 33:11um they said if I don't get away from
- 33:14Travis I'm going to become just like
- 33:15Deanna which is his other
- 33:18ex-girlfriend
- 33:20um you know do you want to waste six
- 33:22years of your life waiting for him um
- 33:25because he can't Comm in he still tells
- 33:28Dan I love you and I was like what you
- 33:29know and that kind of thing yeah and and
- 33:31I truly believe he he he does love her
- 33:33still but he
- 33:35does had a he's what you call a player
- 33:39you know what that means yeah yeah he he
- 33:43kind of he doesn't
- 33:46girls but he can't make a
- 33:48commitment he portrays himself to be a
- 33:51certain
- 33:52way but he's really not okay he portrays
- 33:56himself to have a lot of money he's
- 33:59not he's got a lot of things he told me
- 34:02the first night that
- 34:03I the first night that I met him it was
- 34:07the second night it was at the mgym
- 34:08grany invited me to this executive
- 34:10director banquet and you know he was
- 34:13kind of talking about what his earnings
- 34:14were the last year and how he almost
- 34:16made his six figures and that kind of
- 34:18thing and then he leans in and he goes
- 34:20in this business you have to show off
- 34:21your money a little bit and then prepaid
- 34:22legal it is people want to see that
- 34:24you're actually being successful so you
- 34:26know he's done a good job it's about
- 34:28making money
- 34:30yeah um anyway what was I saying oh so
- 34:34Chris and Sky were just they by the end
- 34:36of the conversation they started calling
- 34:37me Diana and I was just like shocked I
- 34:40didn't want to I certainly the last
- 34:41thing I wanted how did you feel about
- 34:43that um my biggest concern was losing
- 34:46respect in their eyes because I really
- 34:49really looked up to them and um I
- 34:52thought it I would have laughed it off
- 34:53and I thought it was kind of funny but
- 34:54my big but I feared inside that I was
- 34:56losing that respect
- 34:58mhm um so when I talked to him next I
- 35:01was like uh you know what do I do what
- 35:04do I say and he ended up runting this
- 35:06long long long letter to Sky saying I
- 35:08just got off the phone with a very
- 35:09reluctant to talk to me jod you know and
- 35:13um she wrote back saying something to
- 35:16the effect like you know I wouldn't want
- 35:17my sister to date you um why do you kiss
- 35:21jod in the dark and then act like you
- 35:23guys aren't even together in the daytime
- 35:24things like that that's a good statement
- 35:28because that kind of sums up the
- 35:30relationship that you had with him it
- 35:33seems like he liked you he loved you he
- 35:37wanted to be with you but he
- 35:40was he was reluctant to make a a a
- 35:42commitment First
- 35:44St and truly he didn't think that you
- 35:46were marriage
- 35:48material and I don't know why not I mean
- 35:51I see you you're you're you're a
- 35:53wonderful girl you're you know you're
- 35:55struggling you're trying to to to make
- 35:58your way through life and I don't see
- 36:00why you guys couldn't have made it I
- 36:02think we're just we have we have very
- 36:05different philosophies on a lot of ways
- 36:07um we would argue about the dumbest
- 36:09things and like he would just want me to
- 36:12admit that he was right and I would
- 36:14happily do that that's a man thing
- 36:16that's and I would I should have just
- 36:18known better and admitted that I
- 36:19eventually learned how to argue with
- 36:21Travis and talk to my wife she's like
- 36:22okay fine you're right yeah eventually
- 36:25that's what what I began to do with him
- 36:27it's like the more I just agree with him
- 36:28the sooner the argument gets over and
- 36:29the sooner we can make up and the makeup
- 36:31was always great um but um there was so
- 36:35many times where I just couldn't wrap my
- 36:37mind around what he would I could but
- 36:39but I tried to get him to do the same
- 36:40for me like there was a time when I
- 36:41broke down on the way to La once when I
- 36:43was going to watch Chris Hughes do a
- 36:45training um and this was January um mid
- 36:49January maybe of 2007 and my my car got
- 36:52a flat tire so I had at the time
- 36:54roadside assistance because my car was
- 36:55still under warranty and they they went
- 36:57to take the car and to change the tire
- 36:59and realized that when they sold me the
- 37:00car they didn't give me the wheel lock
- 37:01key oh so for anti- theft there was
- 37:04wheel locks so I had to get a hotel room
- 37:06I had to get my car towed it was a big
- 37:07nightmare um and I was kind of hungry it
- 37:09was dinner time it was 7:38 and it was
- 37:12dark because it was January um the tow
- 37:16trk guy said you know there's a Denny's
- 37:17two blocks down here and there's a Jack
- 37:19In The Box there and he was driving me
- 37:20to the motel he said is there an IHOP
- 37:22around because I really like IHOP he's
- 37:23like yeah but it's kind of like five
- 37:24miles back in the other direction I was
- 37:27like okay he's like I can drive you
- 37:28there if you want and I was like he's
- 37:32like this short Mexican guy and he
- 37:35seemed really harmless and I was like uh
- 37:37okay and he you know and I asked him
- 37:38about his life and he had a wife and
- 37:41kids and so he wasn't flirting or he had
- 37:43a girlfriend or something I don't
- 37:44remember just trying to be nice to you
- 37:45just being nice and so I ended up
- 37:46telling and he didn't ever come on to me
- 37:49or ever say anything inappropriate and
- 37:51then he drove me back and dropped me off
- 37:52and that was that and
- 37:54um and I got to eat and so I told that
- 37:58to Travis and he didn't say anything at
- 37:59first but it got back to Sky and sky was
- 38:01like why didn't you call me and then I
- 38:03think eventually that was used against
- 38:04me to establish a pattern that I do
- 38:06weird things like that so um that's
- 38:09something we had arguments about a lot
- 38:11was um he's like I just think that so he
- 38:13was truly upset with you about that he
- 38:15felt a little jealous but it I it I he
- 38:19told me once that he's a little bit he
- 38:20was a little bit jealous when he found
- 38:22out that I went on those dates he's like
- 38:23but I know we're not dating and he's
- 38:25like guess I guess I am a little bit
- 38:26jealous but with these other incidences
- 38:29he said it just concerns him okay
- 38:31because he thinks that he thought that I
- 38:32would get myself into a situation where
- 38:34I'd get hurt because I have that sort of
- 38:36attitude and I was really since I joined
- 38:39prepaid I've been really trying to break
- 38:40out of my bubble and do things that are
- 38:42a little uncomfortable as far as
- 38:45um um talking to people and you know I
- 38:47made a resolution this year to overcome
- 38:49a few fears that I have um that I'm
- 38:52really scared of so I think that by
- 38:53getting into that a little then I can
- 38:57you you know overcome some of that um
- 39:00but his he did act jealous but he
- 39:03wouldn't say he was jealous he would
- 39:04just say he would tell other people
- 39:05about it what do you mean did he tell
- 39:07Sky Hughes oh yeah I guess it I may have
- 39:10told Sky about that but they probably
- 39:13had a conversation with them and he
- 39:14probably voiced as conversations um I
- 39:17know that him and Sky had a lot of
- 39:19fights and arguments and it was and I
- 39:21was the roote of that a lot of time but
- 39:24I think you know all in all they
- 39:26especially
- 39:28more recently they got along a lot
- 39:30better I think she gave them a really
- 39:32hard time about our relationship one of
- 39:35the reasons he really wanted to keep it
- 39:36under
- 39:39wraps so you know moving over
- 39:43to his trip to Cancun that he was going
- 39:47to um when did you first find out about
- 39:50that that he was going with M oh I
- 39:52didn't find I found out about that at
- 39:54his memorial
- 39:55services on Monday
- 39:58it was the Monday night memorial service
- 40:00so you didn't know that he was going to
- 40:02Cancun I knew he was going yeah you
- 40:04didn't know he was taking Mimi I didn't
- 40:06know that I think that's awesome
- 40:07actually yeah well unfortunately Mimi
- 40:10had called him a week or two
- 40:13before and I told him look if you want
- 40:16to take somebody else it's fine but I
- 40:18have something to tell you I don't look
- 40:20at you that way I don't look at you as a
- 40:24boyfriend if you want to be friends we
- 40:26can be friends
- 40:28and that really broke his heart I know
- 40:30um I mean he didn't tell me that but I
- 40:33found out from his Bishop afterward when
- 40:34I talked to his Bishop And he as Bishop
- 40:37did say that Travis really took that one
- 40:39hard and he said he took it to heart and
- 40:41he said he realizes that it's speaking
- 40:44from a Bishop's perspective he said it's
- 40:46because you know Mimi is is of a certain
- 40:49caliber when it comes to her
- 40:50spirituality and Travis was just in
- 40:52another place he's struggling and that's
- 40:53something he struggled with for a long
- 40:55time well I feel I feel responsible for
- 40:58that partly why do you feel responsible
- 41:00because I wasn't I mean I moved away but
- 41:03I had participated with him and so many
- 41:05things that kept us both down
- 41:07spiritually for a long time I mean if I
- 41:09had just cut ties completely I could
- 41:11probably be married right now I could
- 41:13probably be working on my own family
- 41:17um what kept do that what what kept you
- 41:20to
- 41:21him I don't understand well moving is
- 41:25expensive for one so once I was there I
- 41:27was kind of stuck there um why do you
- 41:30continue to go back to him you know what
- 41:32he wants you know that it's not healthy
- 41:35but yet you continue to go back and it
- 41:38brings us to this point where we are
- 41:42now okay I
- 41:46mean I guess I I physically you keep
- 41:50saying you knew that it that it wasn't
- 41:52healthy and and you knew it was
- 41:54contributing to something that wasn't
- 41:56good I think at the time you guys
- 41:58continue to do it yeah and part of that
- 42:01part of my um perspective now has to do
- 42:04with the fact that I'm going through a
- 42:06repentance process that I've worked out
- 42:08with you know with my bishop and he's
- 42:11given me you know certain scriptures to
- 42:12read and and Ponder and pray about and
- 42:15it just it brings me back to where I was
- 42:18prior to all that um I don't know how
- 42:21much I ever really was there as much as
- 42:23I am now because even before I was
- 42:25baptized even the two days before I was
- 42:28baptized four days was on Wednesday and
- 42:31I was baptized on Sunday um before
- 42:33Thanksgiving and it was just like like
- 42:35Travis and I were making out and you
- 42:37know that was Prior that we hadn't gone
- 42:40all the way at that point but was just
- 42:42too far and I called in that evening and
- 42:44I said how I didn't it just it felt
- 42:47different the first few times was like
- 42:48hey that was great you know whatever and
- 42:50then it just felt different this time
- 42:52and it was right before I was about to
- 42:53be baptized and you know I already had
- 42:56my interview and and so it was
- 42:59like it was just different and he said
- 43:01well yeah he's like I feel the same way
- 43:03and I think that's the spirit you know
- 43:05telling us this that or the other and so
- 43:08um I think that by driving the spirit
- 43:10away so much you just get into this
- 43:13pattern of of I don't know it was just
- 43:17it was conen there was a couple times
- 43:19where I didn't answer his text messages
- 43:22and he would send me little sad faces
- 43:24or eventually he would wait and would
- 43:27call and then he would call again and if
- 43:28I didn't answer he'd call three times
- 43:30and obviously you guys kept this
- 43:31relationship hidden from everybody else
- 43:33and
- 43:35uh cuz nobody really knew about it well
- 43:38there were some people who who I talked
- 43:41to and said yeah they continued to have
- 43:42a relationship even after they broke up
- 43:45and there are others who who are saying
- 43:47that you had become obsessive with him
- 43:51to the point to where you would uh go
- 43:53into his house when he wasn't there or
- 43:56when you wer inv
- 43:57and and he would talk to people saying
- 44:00you know she just kind of showed up and
- 44:03I don't want to tell her to leave but
- 44:05uh you know I don't want her here oh
- 44:09there were that was must have been early
- 44:11on because there were a couple times
- 44:13when we established a rule early on just
- 44:15don't you know don't come over and let
- 44:17he said you can come over anytime but I
- 44:18need to know first yes he's like you
- 44:20just never know cuz you ran into
- 44:22somebody one time right didn't you run
- 44:23into like one of his ex-girlfriends as
- 44:25well or or was it d
- 44:28oh yeah um well that was I was that was
- 44:30okay that I was there he asked me to
- 44:31stay there and um be with Napoleon
- 44:34because that was during uh conference
- 44:36General Conference in October of last
- 44:37year um he took a road trip with some
- 44:39friends from his church to Utah and um
- 44:42unless he's going to California he
- 44:44pretty much leaves Napoleon at home and
- 44:47so he needed someone to be there and
- 44:51it's like I got Full House privileges I
- 44:52could sleep in the bed I could eat you
- 44:54know food and I talked to her and she
- 44:56said that was kind of an unusual kind of
- 44:58situation she didn't expect you to be
- 45:00there she didn't at all and so first I
- 45:02was like
- 45:03well I was like did you give Dan any any
- 45:07you know Flack over coming over
- 45:08unannounced because we had just set this
- 45:10Rule and he's like I talked to her about
- 45:12it he's like but I'll tell you what I
- 45:13was on the phone for three hours with
- 45:15her she was freaking out that you were
- 45:17there and
- 45:19um I think the more that we the more
- 45:22people knew about us associating The
- 45:24more stress we both got from it and so
- 45:27um it was just easier to try and keep it
- 45:29a secret and we we didn't always do a
- 45:31good job at that I think his roommates
- 45:33may have seen or heard some things
- 45:37um but they were kind of keep to
- 45:39themselves ties so we didn't worry too
- 45:41much about
- 45:42them there was actually one roommate
- 45:44John heworth who ended up marrying
- 45:47remarrying his his same wife and moved
- 45:49back to Utah and um he I was cleaning
- 45:54his house one day and John told me he's
- 45:58like you know Travis is dating and I
- 46:03said okay and I assumed he was you know
- 46:07going on dates and things he's like no
- 46:09he's really trying to date and
- 46:13um and I said okay and he's like he he's
- 46:16desperate to get married and I said I
- 46:19know that's true and he's like I just
- 46:21wanted to tell you that because I I
- 46:22don't think he's being honest with you
- 46:24and I was like okay so that night um you
- 46:27know I confronted him about it and we
- 46:29had a really big fight it was also just
- 46:31just a bunch of things were thrown in
- 46:33the mix together and and then we and and
- 46:36I he said listen I'm not dating
- 46:38anyone um but he was very angry at John
- 46:43for getting into his
- 46:44business um he told John in a very nice
- 46:47way I think hey I I know that you have
- 46:50probably have good intentions but just
- 46:52you know mind your own business kind of
- 46:54thing and from then on John I don't
- 46:57think John really said
- 47:03anything and that was that was in
- 47:06October I think you've kind of given me
- 47:08a really good uh rundown of your
- 47:10relationship and um how you guys thought
- 47:14of each other and stuff and and I was
- 47:16pretty pretty close to write on with my
- 47:19with my theory on how you guys you know
- 47:21why you contined to see each other and
- 47:23what was going on during that time um I
- 47:26think there's some other things that
- 47:27you're not telling me I think I think
- 47:30maybe you
- 47:31were the jealousy probably continued
- 47:34even after the fact that you moved away
- 47:37um for instance the
- 47:41uh was it the week of the well the first
- 47:45week of of
- 47:47June you took a trip to solake
- 47:50City remember that trip we talked about
- 47:52oh this year I I'm thinking back um you
- 47:56you had left left I think it was like a
- 47:58Monday left Monday June 2nd Monday June
- 48:012nd and morning or afternoon or
- 48:04something I can't remember what late
- 48:05morning I think it was morning okay and
- 48:07you'd gone down to reading and rented a
- 48:09car um where did you rent that car uh
- 48:12the reading airport okay do you remember
- 48:14what car company it was it I don't
- 48:17remember the rental company but I
- 48:18remember the nak model it was a Ford
- 48:20Focus yeah I got that from other people
- 48:23in Utah they said you sh up in a Ford
- 48:24Focus uh it was white four
- 48:27no um cruise control I like road trips
- 48:32cruise control is good you don't
- 48:35remember what company it
- 48:37was uh who rented it maybe I did was it
- 48:40was your credit card or okay yeah I
- 48:43could look it up and so you took a trip
- 48:47and you decided to go
- 48:49to um instead of going over to Utah you
- 48:52went straight down to Los Angeles area I
- 48:54went to Santa Cruz first Santa Cruz M
- 48:57and then I stayed the night in Monteray
- 48:59and the next day I drove to acaden okay
- 49:03waiting for Laura to call me back you
- 49:05didn't contact her at all uh she
- 49:07contacted me finally after IID already
- 49:09left it was too late you already and we
- 49:11had plans to to do that again this we
- 49:13and which route did you take from from
- 49:16there I was supposed to get on the
- 49:1815 and go all the way
- 49:21up and I somehow got off the 15 where
- 49:25did you end
- 49:27um for a while I was lost and I'm not
- 49:30above sleeping in the car so I slept for
- 49:32a while I'm a heavy sleeper and I sleep
- 49:34a lot so but you were on the 15 for a
- 49:36while and you ended up getting off the
- 49:3815 somewhere yeah I I I looked at a map
- 49:40and I'm pretty sure I know where I went
- 49:42I went can I draw your map
- 49:48sure because I eventually started seeing
- 49:50signs um for Phoenix and I was like and
- 49:53it was several hundred miles away still
- 49:55like that's weird where am I going um so
- 49:58you have California Los
- 50:00Angeles
- 50:03and um Nevada Arizona
- 50:07Utah and I was supposed to go somewhere
- 50:09right up here oh on the Lefty so the 15
- 50:13kind of does one of these yeah goes
- 50:16through let's say Las Vegas right here
- 50:19oh yeah I'm sorry I'm my that's okay
- 50:22that's okay so we'll just put just put I
- 50:24just I know it cuts through our Zone in
- 50:26the corner
- 50:27um Las Vegas um St George is somewhere
- 50:32here and
- 50:36then the 40 runs somewhere this way
- 50:39because somehow I ended up on the
- 50:4240 and when I saw the 40 I'm like the
- 50:45only thing I associate with the 40 is
- 50:47Flagstaff and Flagstaff is somewhere in
- 50:50Utah I mean north north northern Arizona
- 50:54and so um and it was I was going east
- 50:57and I was like this isn't this what's
- 50:59going on here I just I wasn't going the
- 51:00right way and so
- 51:02I um I've had for the last two years
- 51:06I've had a car that has a GPS system in
- 51:09it it's really good and um it I think it
- 51:12Ser it hasn't served me as far as
- 51:15getting a sense of direction when I
- 51:16moved to Palm Desert yeah you kind of
- 51:18rely on it a little too much too much in
- 51:20fact when I moved when I moved in with
- 51:24the the last place I lived in Arizona I
- 51:26did not how close it was to Travis I
- 51:28didn't realize um I have a very bad
- 51:31sense of direction and it wasn't
- 51:34until I began to I use my GPS the whole
- 51:37time I was there pretty much just to
- 51:38find things um anyway so I got
- 51:43back I looked at the map quest that I I
- 51:46Map Quest a bunch of places I was maybe
- 51:48going to go to Death Valley um I was
- 51:50maybe going to did you actually cross
- 51:51over into Arizona is that how far you
- 51:53went I crossed over twice I think my map
- 51:56was wrong because the 93 goes north and
- 51:58then I hit the 15 again and then I got
- 52:01here and then I hit
- 52:03Arizona and then went here it the
- 52:06somehow I got North on the 93 okay and
- 52:09then I hit the
- 52:1015 so I mean I don't know where Phoenix
- 52:13is and Mesa it's got to be over here
- 52:15yeah I didn't go anywhere near there so
- 52:18you you took this trip and you left
- 52:22on was it
- 52:24Monday the second
- 52:28right and you didn't get to Utah
- 52:32until Thursday you told me yeah I got to
- 52:35Utah on Thursday so Thursday and that's
- 52:38the
- 52:415th yeah I think so it's Monday that's
- 52:44Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
- 52:47yeah okay so we
- 52:49have it's like 48 hours there that well
- 52:53obviously three days but there's plent
- 52:56there's 48 hours so this trip took you
- 52:58little over 48
- 53:00Hours um I have a problem with this trip
- 53:04well I went first too yeah I know I know
- 53:07you went down here I mean
- 53:09obviously
- 53:11my right there beautiful little place
- 53:15here except it's kind of Smokey and I
- 53:17can't see the views I was hoping to see
- 53:19some mountains but you really should
- 53:21take out chest to get the okay I've gone
- 53:24over this trip over and over in my mind
- 53:27and on
- 53:28paper and even
- 53:32if there's still 20 some OD
- 53:35hours even if you pulled over to
- 53:39sleep a couple of times oh did I tell
- 53:42you that I got stranded yeah okay you
- 53:45mentioned that if you slept for 10 hours
- 53:48I only slept for about here and here it
- 53:50would still
- 53:52leave 18 some odat hours
- 53:57or something else okay this is what
- 54:00people are focusing on as this trip that
- 54:03you took because they're saying she left
- 54:05she didn't get to till
- 54:10Thursday
- 54:13Wednesday some TRS was
- 54:19killed I did not go near his house isn't
- 54:22there aren't there I pull your shell
- 54:25records cell phone was turned off
- 54:28between
- 54:29here and
- 54:31here okay but the last place it pulled
- 54:37it was
- 54:39here the next place it turned on was
- 54:43here what does that show me oh well I
- 54:47began oh no no no is there plenty of
- 54:50time for you to do that
- 54:52yes and I do I believe that you had come
- 54:56to visit Travis
- 54:58yes I truly believe
- 55:02it did you have the opportunity yes you
- 55:04were traveling alone there's no other
- 55:06Witnesses your phone just happened to
- 55:08turn off from here to here well I didn't
- 55:10turn it off physically but it
- 55:12died and then it magically you you found
- 55:16your charger here it was it was under
- 55:18the packed under the seat of the
- 55:19passenger side and it was when I was
- 55:21when you were lost you couldn't have
- 55:23maybe pulled over and found it or well I
- 55:25did finally start looking when I was
- 55:27stranded I wouldn't I wouldn't have
- 55:29pulled over when I was
- 55:30lost okay this I've been focusing on
- 55:33this and going over and over my
- 55:36mind why this happened why your phone
- 55:39turns off here outside of Los
- 55:43Angeles what city is that cuz I got as
- 55:46far as there no cities there's Towers oh
- 55:49okay well I got there's Towers dotted
- 55:51all over this place yeah one tower hit
- 55:53here the other Tower here on the 993
- 55:57there is no way somebody can get on that
- 56:0015 and magically get on that
- 56:0293 cuz that 15 goes right to Las
- 56:06Vegas right there and continues this way
- 56:09it never goes to Arizona again I I got
- 56:11off before Las Vegas
- 56:15okay I didn't get that the 15 you'd have
- 56:18to go to Las Vegas and then come down
- 56:20south go through Boulder City I went
- 56:24through Boulder City going north
- 56:27did you cross over the
- 56:29uh the
- 56:32dam you didn't think that was odd you
- 56:34were crossing in over AR well after I I
- 56:36figured out it was lost by then and I
- 56:37found I found the 93 and then found my
- 56:40way back to the 15 and this Tower here
- 56:43it's not just over the Border in Arizona
- 56:46it's quite a distance inside of Arizona
- 56:49that it hit because there is a mountain
- 56:51range all along
- 56:55here and if you're on this side of the
- 56:57mountain range pretty good distance that
- 57:00signal is not going to come not going to
- 57:01hit UT or
- 57:04Utah or Nevada or California it's only
- 57:07going to hit in Arizona well I had
- 57:10somehow gotten off the 15 and gone on to
- 57:11the 40 is what happened well the only
- 57:15way you can get on the
- 57:1640 is if after you cross the bridge or
- 57:22the uh the dam I think I got on the 40
- 57:24in California
- 57:28from the
- 57:3015th well like because I had actually
- 57:32gotten I actually began to drive the 10
- 57:34West would you see what I'm saying the
- 57:36confusion that we're
- 57:38having and and we'll come back to this
- 57:41well I got on the 40 somewhere over here
- 57:45in California yeah and continued to
- 57:47drive this way realized I was not in the
- 57:50right place at all and then I got on to
- 57:53the the 93 North and then I hit the 15
- 57:56and then I went through Las Vegas and
- 57:57then St George and then on T
- 58:00okay that still doesn't make any sense
- 58:02to me and I can pull them outs and show
- 58:05them to you and you can go over and over
- 58:07and over again but I don't think you're
- 58:09being completely honest with me about
- 58:12about that trip I honestly got
- 58:15lost it's it's bad
- 58:18[Music]

- 1:00:38timestamps and I have pictures of you in
- 1:00:41Travis's bedroom with Travis pictures of
- 1:00:45him

- 1:08:06this evidence
- 1:08:08against against you what would you
- 1:08:11say if I had that evidence against you
- 1:08:14it' be pretty obvious but I guess being
- 1:08:17in my position I it just seems so
- 1:08:19impossible I want to see it I want to
- 1:08:21know I mean I'm not like I'm not a
- 1:08:23murderer but I guess if I were to do
- 1:08:25that I would wear gloves or you know
- 1:08:27something I
- 1:08:29just how could my I don't
- 1:08:33know I know you tried to wash him off
- 1:08:37try to get some of the blood off try to
- 1:08:39clean them up a little bit but you're
- 1:08:41even denying the
- 1:08:44pictures of you being
- 1:08:46there there's pictures of you laying on
- 1:08:48the bed and
- 1:08:50pigtails pigtails
- 1:08:53yes and I've got pictures of you that
- 1:08:55I've blown up and you've got the little
- 1:08:57mole right there it's the same one it's
- 1:09:00you it's
- 1:09:03obvious I can show you some of these
- 1:09:07pictures you want to see the
- 1:09:10pictures well that change your
- 1:09:13mind I mean I am
- 1:09:16curious okay let me take a break and let
- 1:09:19me go find them I'm BR and show
- 1:09:22you I wasn't there you need to think
- 1:09:25about what you're saying this continuing
- 1:09:28to lie is not going to help
- 1:09:30you if do something I didn't do won't
- 1:09:33help me
- 1:09:34either okay let's say for a second that
- 1:09:36I did and I
- 1:09:39say I did
- 1:09:42it I
- 1:09:46mean the motive is there the jealousy
- 1:09:51issue but I wasn't I wouldn't even say
- 1:09:54it was
- 1:09:56I mean there there may have been some
- 1:09:58jealousy there but then what is it what
- 1:10:00caus
- 1:10:02this I think if you know if anyone maybe
- 1:10:06Travis was jealous
- 1:10:08but that's not what everybody else says
- 1:10:11well they know he was jealous but they
- 1:10:13think that you are absolutely
- 1:10:16obsessed obsessed is the word that they
- 1:10:18use that's the word I hear from
- 1:10:21everybody Fatal Attraction I don't know
- 1:10:23how many times I've heard that
- 1:10:26that look at jod jod had to have done
- 1:10:29this or she got someone to do it for him
- 1:10:32there's not one person that says
- 1:10:34anything
- 1:10:35else why is
- 1:10:37that that's the perception they have of
- 1:10:39you and there's a reason for that
- 1:10:42perception maybe because it's true maybe
- 1:10:45because we kept hanging out mhm but not
- 1:10:48because it's
- 1:10:50true cause
- 1:10:53this I can prove you there I can prove
- 1:10:57it but what I don't have is I don't have
- 1:11:00answers on why it happened or you know
- 1:11:03maybe something just got out of hand
- 1:11:07maybe maybe things got out of hand did
- 1:11:10you find the the the gun maybe that
- 1:11:13would
- 1:11:14Jo we're just playing games
- 1:11:18here that gun was in your
- 1:11:21possession when did you report it stolen
- 1:11:25um I didn't even know that there were
- 1:11:26guns until my grand my grandparents
- 1:11:28reported it stolen the day that their
- 1:11:30house was broken
- 1:11:32into I don't remember was a few months
- 1:11:36ago
- 1:11:39maybe what did you do with a
- 1:11:42gun I don't have a
- 1:11:46gun they're going through your house
- 1:11:48right now so are they going to find
- 1:11:51anything there that will lead you back
- 1:11:52to this I don't think they would
- 1:11:55I mean there's nothing that could link
- 1:11:57me there I mean that's pretty compelling
- 1:11:59I have to admit if you found my palm
- 1:12:01went there I don't
- 1:12:04know I just that's do you have a pair of
- 1:12:06sweatpants It's Got Stripes around the
- 1:12:09backside with
- 1:12:10zippers
- 1:12:11um somebody's seen you wearing those
- 1:12:15before I've got so many
- 1:12:18clothes yeah I think I do wait I have a
- 1:12:22well I have zipper one that zips in the
- 1:12:23back
- 1:12:25it's got like Stripes like big stripe on
- 1:12:27it and so well black stripe all the way

- 1:12:32black I have those are at the house okay
- 1:12:34it's got um I have two pairs actually
- 1:12:37one is too small and one is just about
- 1:12:39right um the other one I bought anyway
- 1:12:41even it's too small because it was on
- 1:12:42sale it's a good deal um but yeah they
- 1:12:46have
- 1:12:48stripes what is that me what is that cuz
- 1:12:51I believe you were wearing a pair like
- 1:12:52that that's when this happened remember
- 1:12:55told you about the camera it was taking
- 1:12:57pictures by accident camera was upside
- 1:13:00down had

- 1:13:12female I one of them was wearing those
- 1:13:15pants oh I didn't even bring those pants
- 1:13:17in that trip so and if we find those
- 1:13:20pants is that going to make my case a
- 1:13:21little bit better yeah
- 1:13:25okay I'm going to take a little break
- 1:13:27but I need you to think about what
- 1:13:28you're doing here cu the best thing for

- 1:14:09happened and there's no doubt in my mind
- 1:14:11and there absolutely is no doubt in
- 1:14:12anybody else's mind who's investigating
- 1:14:14this that you were there and that you
- 1:14:16did
- 1:14:18this

- 1:31:45factory not for you to use that's good
- 1:31:49but
- 1:31:51for us to use if we too well then that's
- 1:31:55good cuz I was also going to ask you I
- 1:31:57don't know if this is something
- 1:32:00that you can recall but a lot of the
- 1:32:03stop lights and Mason things have
- 1:32:04cameras on them isn't there any way we
- 1:32:07could back that up or you know if I were
- 1:32:10going to going through that tunnel is
- 1:32:12that surveillance is there surveillance
- 1:32:15anywhere unless you ran a red
- 1:32:17line unless you got cut on the speed
- 1:32:22camera but
- 1:32:24thing beats that
- 1:32:27stuff and I have a solid case against
- 1:32:30you and I can present it to the
- 1:32:34judge as cold as as as it is
- 1:32:37now I don't know why she did
- 1:32:40it or I can present it to the
- 1:32:45judge with your
- 1:32:50explanation with your parents
- 1:32:52explanation you talk to your parents
- 1:32:54about what
- 1:32:56happened um I told them I was worried
- 1:32:58about stuff about what stuff I said that
- 1:33:02well they knew I was upset about Travis
- 1:33:04and I feel really bad by the way I was
- 1:33:05acting because I wasn't especially
- 1:33:08toward my grandparents there were a lot
- 1:33:09of times why are they not surprised that
- 1:33:11you're sitting here talking to
- 1:33:13me about
- 1:33:16this what do you mean they're not
- 1:33:19surprised they're concerned they're
- 1:33:23hurt I haven't but my other detectives
- 1:33:27have
- 1:33:28and they're very concerned with
- 1:33:32you but they kind of suspected that you
- 1:33:34had something to do with r's death as
- 1:33:36well whose parents think that that's
- 1:33:40because I told them that a lot of people
- 1:33:42were dropping my name and I said I'm not
- 1:33:44worried about it because I didn't do it
- 1:33:45I said but it's very much it's hurting
- 1:33:47my reputation right now and it's it's
- 1:33:50casting me in a bad light I wouldn't be
- 1:33:52worried about your reputation right now
- 1:33:54I'd be worrying about the rest of your
- 1:33:56life that means
- 1:33:59nothing absolutely
- 1:34:02nothing well my reputation will affect
- 1:34:05the rest of my
- 1:34:07life so I am worried about my
- 1:34:13reputation you going to continue with
- 1:34:15the story then that you weren't in Mesa
- 1:34:17on the fourth you weren't in Travis's
- 1:34:20house you didn't have sex with him that
- 1:34:23day had nothing to do with his
- 1:34:26murder those pictures are I don't know
- 1:34:29to me pictures are very compelling
- 1:34:32um I know that they can be modified I
- 1:34:35know they can be altered and date and
- 1:34:36time stamps I don't know but I I think
- 1:34:40they can be modifing things I don't
- 1:34:42think you would we take absolutely
- 1:34:44special care of what we do I know we
- 1:34:48actually take an image of that card or
- 1:34:50let's say you get a computer take an
- 1:34:52image of that drive and make a copy of
- 1:34:54it we don't even touch your hard drive
- 1:34:58we just work with the
- 1:35:00copy and that's exactly what we do with
- 1:35:03the photos we don't work with the
- 1:35:04originals we just make a exact digital
- 1:35:08copy of everything move it over so we
- 1:35:11don't touch it and then we analyze it
- 1:35:14and our guys are so
- 1:35:16good every case I've ever done that I
- 1:35:19know of has never been lost in court
- 1:35:22it's been argued and aru and argued
- 1:35:24there is no way that they duplicate or
- 1:35:28that they enhance or that they change or
- 1:35:30that they do anything to a
- 1:35:35photo if I found guilty what
- 1:35:38happens I don't have to pay the price
- 1:35:40well what's the price I don't know don't
- 1:35:44you know what the sentences are that
- 1:35:46they sentences that are carried for
- 1:35:47something it depends on your
- 1:35:50situation how old you
- 1:35:52are depends on the type of
- 1:35:56crime it depends on whether you show
- 1:35:59remorse or
- 1:36:01not and part of that remorse is at least
- 1:36:04coming
- 1:36:06clean when somebody doesn't come
- 1:36:10clean I don't see any
- 1:36:13remorse I don't know if a judge would
- 1:36:15see any remorse I don't know if a jury
- 1:36:17would see any
- 1:36:19remorse but I don't know that's not from
- 1:36:22me to decide
- 1:36:24my job is to
- 1:36:27investigate find out who did it why they
- 1:36:30did it and present it to a court and
- 1:36:34that's it I just can't
- 1:36:42imagine you have something to tell me
- 1:36:44but you're you're just so
- 1:36:49resistant I know you're
- 1:36:51afraid but you're already going going
- 1:36:53through it right now there's no backing
- 1:36:55up there's no backing up to yesterday
- 1:36:58there's no backing up to that
- 1:37:00day already
- 1:37:03happened and unfortunately you're going
- 1:37:06to have to face the
- 1:37:07consequences um you know if if I did
- 1:37:10that I would I'd be fully ready to face
- 1:37:14the
- 1:37:15consequences um I'm not really for
- 1:37:19things like you know I'm all for the Ten
- 1:37:21Commandments Thou shalt not kill
- 1:37:24okay um but there's there's no evidence
- 1:37:27to show anybody else did that
- 1:37:30none well I'm just you think we'd find
- 1:37:33somebody else's fingerprint if they did
- 1:37:34that
- 1:37:37possibly there's something that happens
- 1:37:39you keep saying gloves there's things
- 1:37:41that happen when people wear gloves then
- 1:37:44we can actually see that oh somebody
- 1:37:46wore gloves in this case nobody wor
- 1:37:48gloves in this case
- 1:37:51nobody no evidence saying that if I were
- 1:37:54to carry out something like that I would
- 1:37:55have worn gloves no nobody else did this
- 1:37:59there's no evidence to show that anybody
- 1:38:01else did this but you you were the only
- 1:38:05one that is
- 1:38:08it and I'm not seeing any remorse I'm
- 1:38:11not seeing
- 1:38:13any anything from
- 1:38:16you to make me believe anything
- 1:38:18otherwise you can continue to say I
- 1:38:21didn't do it but you're the that got
- 1:38:23caught on videotape stealing the
- 1:38:26candy and you continue to say it wasn't
- 1:38:30me I have the proof I have the pictures
- 1:38:34it wasn't
- 1:38:37me I don't think you would you would
- 1:38:39admit to it if somebody if your own
- 1:38:42mother saw you do this and she told me
- 1:38:46yeah I saw her do this you would say no
- 1:38:48it wasn't
- 1:38:50me why won't you admit to it
- 1:38:55I just can't I didn't kill
- 1:38:58Travis I just didn't I did not take his
- 1:39:05life did you have anything to do with
- 1:39:07the death of
- 1:39:10Travis not I don't think I had anything
- 1:39:12directly to do with it but I feel
- 1:39:14responsible somewhat for
- 1:39:16it then what can you tell me about his
- 1:39:20death you know a lot more about it than
- 1:39:22I do when I say I feel responsible it's
- 1:39:25because I was I
- 1:39:28wasn't planning to go there at all and
- 1:39:30he really wanted me to go
- 1:39:33and I told him no and I would have if it
- 1:39:37weren't for Ryan and there's nothing
- 1:39:39really with Ryan and I in fact he has
- 1:39:41been very hesitant to move anything
- 1:39:43forward because he's not sure about me
- 1:39:47um he said a lot of people are talking I
- 1:39:48just tell you that right now I really
- 1:39:49wish this would get solved so that we
- 1:39:51can just put it behind us um maybe
- 1:39:54that's a good thing because he's not an
- 1:39:56active church member anyway
- 1:39:59but the reason I feel is because if I
- 1:40:03had if it weren't for Ryan I would have
- 1:40:04folded and I would have just scrapped
- 1:40:06all my plans and spent all of my days
- 1:40:09there
- 1:40:11um but I didn't and I stood strong and
- 1:40:14he got mad and got sad and he guilted me
- 1:40:16he didn't get really mad he just kind of
- 1:40:18guilted me and finally was like whatever
- 1:40:20fine we hung up
- 1:40:27I feel that if I would have gone
- 1:40:30there that I could
- 1:40:33have that I could have done
- 1:40:36something I could have but you were
- 1:40:39there
- 1:40:41Jody you were there on Wednesday the
- 1:40:44four can I ask you I don't know if you
- 1:40:46know
- 1:40:48this oh I have a camera in my storage
- 1:40:51unit that I don't use anymore I used to
- 1:40:53use
- 1:40:54frequently and we took pictures with it
- 1:40:58um this is I don't know this is kind of
- 1:41:02do you remember taking these
- 1:41:06pictures there were many pictures I
- 1:41:09vaguely they were we took tons and tons
- 1:41:12of pictures some I saved most we deleted
- 1:41:15um some he sent me through his phone he
- 1:41:17usually deleted all pictures like
- 1:41:20this yeah well before he got pictures
- 1:41:23like this that I found anywhere on his
- 1:41:26computer camera
- 1:41:29anything they were
- 1:41:32deleted well prior to him getting his
- 1:41:34camera all those pictures were on my
- 1:41:36camera
- 1:41:38um
- 1:41:41so all these same
- 1:41:45pictures
- 1:41:48um I don't
- 1:41:51know I don't know we took um we took a
- 1:41:53bunch the week before I left um we took
- 1:41:56a bunch over the last six or seven
- 1:42:01months um we took over last year even we
- 1:42:04were still dating but we would delete
- 1:42:05them mostly um there were some that he
- 1:42:08sent me that I didn't
- 1:42:10delete
- 1:42:14um what I'm asking is is it possible
- 1:42:17that you know that my memory card would
- 1:42:20have been in his camera they're
- 1:42:21interchangeable
- 1:42:24how do you know if they're a trable I
- 1:42:26don't that's what I'm asking is what
- 1:42:27kind of memory card it was just a
- 1:42:30regular little card well cuz I've got
- 1:42:34one I've got one that's like this big
- 1:42:36and it's thin it's like a cracker and
- 1:42:39the one I use on my professional camera
- 1:42:40is like this size and it's more kind of
- 1:42:43like that
- 1:42:45big and the little one is really
- 1:42:48thin and it's got like little thingies
- 1:42:51here
- 1:42:53and my big one looks like that in the
- 1:42:54middle part so that one obviously
- 1:42:57probably wouldn't be interchangeable
- 1:42:58because it's a cannon and it's a nice
- 1:43:00not
- 1:43:01interchangeable but the other
- 1:43:04one I don't know I don't know your
- 1:43:06camera's here his camera's there he just
- 1:43:08bought that camera well the other camera
- 1:43:11that I used before that's broken now
- 1:43:12it's in my storage unit but it's still
- 1:43:14there and you're saying those pictures
- 1:43:16are on that
- 1:43:17camera I'm no what I'm saying is I had
- 1:43:20several memory cards for this camera
- 1:43:22that I don't have anym and so I
- 1:43:26guess I it's so far-fetched but I guess
- 1:43:30it's possible that my my card just
- 1:43:33saying somebody took your your pictures
- 1:43:36or your card and is framing you and put
- 1:43:41that into his camera I'm just saying
- 1:43:43that if if my memory cards were left at
- 1:43:45his house he could he would have used
- 1:43:46those for his
- 1:43:48scam I don't I don't know
- 1:43:54I can explain the blood though and I can
- 1:43:56explain the hair I don't know about the
- 1:43:59I can't explain the blood or the hair
- 1:44:01well the
- 1:44:02hair there's hair everywhere and
- 1:44:05probably every square inch of that house
- 1:44:07my hair you sweep it you'll get hair
- 1:44:09everywhere all over around the toilet
- 1:44:10around in the show I don't know about
- 1:44:12the shower cuz the shower gets used but
- 1:44:13definitely around the bottom of the um
- 1:44:16the sink area maybe still doesn't
- 1:44:19explain the hair to me it had a follicle
- 1:44:20in it you haven't been there since ail
- 1:44:24there's no
- 1:44:25way no
- 1:44:29way the
- 1:44:32blood no well blood is mixed with his
- 1:44:36and that's the blood that he that he
- 1:44:38bled that day when he was killed
- 1:44:41well print I don't know Abol if you can
- 1:44:44check how fresh the blood was no we
- 1:44:46can't check how fresh it is but we can
- 1:44:48go by where it is oh okay cuz I cut
- 1:44:51myself when I and
- 1:44:53you and you're saying that that
- 1:44:57blood that you cut yourself with back
- 1:45:00who knows when was still on the wall in
- 1:45:04the exact same spot oh I don't know
- 1:45:07where the where the bloody palm print
- 1:45:13was it was a glass that Javis had that I
- 1:45:16was using to wash Napoleon with I used
- 1:45:18to give him B and I dropped it and when
- 1:45:21I picked up all the glass and I'm pretty
- 1:45:23casual about it cuz I break glass at
- 1:45:24work all the time and it's not a big
- 1:45:26deal it's nothing to be scared of I was
- 1:45:28probably just being careless with it and
- 1:45:30I spliced myself open and is that how
- 1:45:33you want to leave
- 1:45:34this just these far-fetched excuses on
- 1:45:38why your blood is there why your hair is
- 1:45:40there why your palm print is there what
- 1:45:42pictures are there I don't know about
- 1:45:45the pictures that's how you want to
- 1:45:46leave this I wouldn't want
- 1:45:50to I seriously would not want to
- 1:45:55you need to come out and tell me why
- 1:45:58this happened I will not accept any
- 1:46:01other
- 1:46:03excuses I will just move on with my
- 1:46:05investigation with my final report
- 1:46:08submitting all the conclusions and all
- 1:46:11the
- 1:46:11evidence and we can just let a judge and
- 1:46:14a jury
- 1:46:16decide you yourself said that if you
- 1:46:18were in my shoes you would think that I
- 1:46:20was guilty
- 1:46:25we can leave it in the hands jury test
- 1:46:28we can do that that's fine would that
- 1:46:30help me at all I mean you can't use them
- 1:46:33in cord but well then there's no point
- 1:46:35in taking
- 1:46:36it I thought those things can be used in
- 1:46:40certain cases in this case if you want I
- 1:46:42can
- 1:46:43check absolutely if I passed the lie
- 1:46:45detector test would that help
- 1:46:47me could help
- 1:46:50you they so weird anyway
- 1:47:00Trav this is your one opportunity to
- 1:47:02talk to me because
- 1:47:04I it's going to be a while before I talk
- 1:47:06to you again and it's not going to be in
- 1:47:09this kind of
- 1:47:12setting okay do you understand what's
- 1:47:14going to happen to
- 1:47:19you well we're going to since these
- 1:47:21charges are out of
- 1:47:23Arizona um we're going to send you
- 1:47:26through the court system here and then
- 1:47:29we're going to ask to extradite you to
- 1:47:31Arizona from California that just means
- 1:47:33permission for you to bring you over
- 1:47:36because you're out of state
- 1:47:37limits and the next time we talk could
- 1:47:39be in a whole different setting could be
- 1:47:42in a jail
- 1:47:46somewhere I think this setting is a
- 1:47:48little bit
- 1:47:51better but it's up to
- 1:47:54you Jody I know you were
- 1:47:58there I
- 1:48:02know that Travis was
- 1:48:05either in the shower or just outside the
- 1:48:07shower when he was
- 1:48:09shot and I know somebody who was
- 1:48:11extremely angry at
- 1:48:15him took a knife to
- 1:48:19him and couldn't stop
- 1:48:23you couldn't
- 1:48:25stop and before you knew it it was all
- 1:48:27over and then you
- 1:48:30panicked and then I would I've never
- 1:48:33been angry that angry at him not enough
- 1:48:35for that I've been so far angrier at
- 1:48:37other people at other
- 1:48:40ex-boyfriends then tell me who could
- 1:48:41have done
- 1:48:44this who did this I don't know but if I
- 1:48:48am if I go to trial for this and if I'm
- 1:48:51convicted for this whoever did this is
- 1:48:53going to be sitting very pretty
- 1:48:54somewhere glad that it wasn't them and
- 1:48:57it's my job to make sure that an
- 1:49:00innocent person does not go to
- 1:49:03jail but I don't see an innocent person
- 1:49:05sitting in front of
- 1:49:08me when I asked you I always I always
- 1:49:11asked this one
- 1:49:13question actually it's two first one is
- 1:49:16did you kill trugs and you kind of
- 1:49:19hesitated a little say I I didn't have
- 1:49:21anything to do with
- 1:49:23then I asked you similar question did
- 1:49:26you have anything to do with Travis's
- 1:49:30death you hesitated again that's because
- 1:49:33I feel like if I had gone to Arizona
- 1:49:36like most people would say no did you
- 1:49:40kill Travis no well I didn't and I
- 1:49:43didn't have anything to do with it now
- 1:49:45do I feel responsible I've been carrying
- 1:49:47around guilt since I heard about it why
- 1:49:49do you feel responsible if you felt
- 1:49:51responsible it means you know something
- 1:49:53else no because means your actions led
- 1:49:55to his death cuz he always has guilted
- 1:49:57me he's always guilted me and the last
- 1:50:01time so you feel somebody else you feel
- 1:50:02somebody else killed him well yeah for
- 1:50:05what reason I don't know I don't know
- 1:50:07that then how do you feel guilty because
- 1:50:09if you don't know the reason here's why
- 1:50:11I feel guilty the one of the last times
- 1:50:13we spoke he was guilty me about not
- 1:50:16coming to see him and part of my heart
- 1:50:18still wanted to go see him and another
- 1:50:20part just wants to move on and
- 1:50:23and pursue this new Avenue which was in
- 1:50:26Utah and there is a tinge of guilt you
- 1:50:30know when he would text me and he would
- 1:50:31say hey want to come over and make out
- 1:50:33or want
- 1:50:34to
- 1:50:36um I didn't respond one night and I just
- 1:50:40stayed strong and I didn't respond and
- 1:50:42then he called and called and called and
- 1:50:44then the next day he was like you don't
- 1:50:47care about me you don't love me you
- 1:50:50don't care I was there all alone and you
- 1:50:53didn't want to come and hang out you
- 1:50:54didn't want to come and keep me company
- 1:50:56and he says it not like that but in that
- 1:50:58tone but it's in the sweetest sweetest
- 1:51:00way and it's it's it's guilt
- 1:51:04um I still don't get the guilt I really
- 1:51:07don't you keep explaining it but it has
- 1:51:09nothing to do with whether he because he
- 1:51:11guil was killed or not he how is you
- 1:51:14being there going to prevent him from
- 1:51:16being
- 1:51:16killed well I kind of feel that if I had
- 1:51:19gone that we could have been up watch
- 1:51:22ing a movie or we could have two people
- 1:51:24could have done something more than just
- 1:51:27him I just feel like if if if there was
- 1:51:30some way that I I could have prevented
- 1:51:32it there's some way that I could have
- 1:51:33done something to stop it and I told
- 1:51:35that to a few people and they're like
- 1:51:37well you might have been killed too
- 1:51:39maybe but maybe Travis would still be
- 1:51:46alive Travis has done a lot for me and I
- 1:51:49wouldn't hurt
- 1:51:51him he introduced The Gospel to
- 1:51:54me well I have proof that says otherwise
- 1:51:58JY I I
- 1:52:02can't I can't deny that I can't deny
- 1:52:06that
- 1:52:06proof and that proof is not pointing at
- 1:52:09anybody else
- 1:52:11nobody nobody in this entire world
- 1:52:14except
- 1:52:16you
- 1:52:20nobody nobody else was in that house
- 1:52:22that
- 1:52:23day except
- 1:52:25you you were the only one you and him
- 1:52:29alone I didn't even go to Mesa can you
- 1:52:32check can you check the GPS on the yes
- 1:52:34we will check
- 1:52:36that if it's you know and if that comes
- 1:52:39back and and I've looked at the map and
- 1:52:41the way that you're saying you travel
- 1:52:43there is no way when last road trip
- 1:52:45Travis and I went on we drove to Utah
- 1:52:47one I mean I'm sorry we drove to
- 1:52:49Oklahoma City um from Mesa and one of
- 1:52:52our stops on the way was Roswell after
- 1:52:55he drove all night and I slept and then
- 1:52:58when after Roswell Museum it was my turn
- 1:53:00to drive and he's like just get on this
- 1:53:02and drive 98 something miles and then we
- 1:53:05should be there so I got on the road and
- 1:53:07I drove 98.6 or two or whatever miles it
- 1:53:11was and I woke him up and I said I don't
- 1:53:13think we're here and he woke up looked
- 1:53:15around it was just like rolling Fields
- 1:53:17Forever and I drove completely in the
- 1:53:20wrong direction and I'm
- 1:53:24saying I don't know I'm just saying I
- 1:53:27have a poor sense of direction I got
- 1:53:28totally
- 1:53:29lost I know maybe that's just bad luck I
- 1:53:32got totally lost no even if you got
- 1:53:34totally lost doesn't explain all that
- 1:53:37time it does not I mean if you went four
- 1:53:41hours here or five hours in the wrong
- 1:53:43direction it still well at one point I
- 1:53:45wasn't going anywhere cuz I ran out of
- 1:53:47gas I was totally stranded
- 1:53:54I was sitting like a Sitting Duck and
- 1:53:56that's when I began it was it was a
- 1:53:57little bit warm and it wasn't too hot
- 1:54:00but um that's when I just I read for a
- 1:54:03little bit I already slept um and that's
- 1:54:06when I just started looking around the
- 1:54:08car and organizing stuff and getting
- 1:54:11trash together and had a couple bites to
- 1:54:13eat from snacks that I had and when I
- 1:54:15was cleaning out under the seat I found
- 1:54:16my phone charger plugged it in powered
- 1:54:18it on there was no cell phone reception
- 1:54:20anywhere so you've never seen his camera
- 1:54:24his new camera I don't know he described
- 1:54:26it did you ever touch his
- 1:54:29camera I've never seen it okay so
- 1:54:32there's no reason your fingerprint
- 1:54:33should be on it okay cuz that thing's
- 1:54:36off at a lab right now and they're
- 1:54:40hopeful that they can get some prints
- 1:54:41off the camera okay and if your prints
- 1:54:43come back on that camera what are you
- 1:54:44going to
- 1:54:46say well they won't come back on it cuz
- 1:54:48I've never touched it
- 1:54:56that you still can't explain the rest of
- 1:54:58this
- 1:54:59stuff I honestly can't explain the
- 1:55:01pictures the other stuff and or the palm
- 1:55:03print the other stuff I can explain no
- 1:55:05you can't explain the blood
- 1:55:07either because that blood is in blood I
- 1:55:10mean it's it's part of the
- 1:55:13print unless you cut
- 1:55:16yourself at the beginning of the year
- 1:55:18and left your palm print in Blood and it
- 1:55:20stayed there until he was killed I cut
- 1:55:23myself it wasn't the beginning of the
- 1:55:25year it was before convention no you
- 1:55:27can't explain
- 1:55:29it i' I'd have to say early March that
- 1:55:33palm print is
- 1:55:34there in blood partially yours and
- 1:55:38partially
- 1:55:42his is is it possible that there's just
- 1:55:45like any other way in the universe that
- 1:55:47that could have gotten there
- 1:55:50possible probably is the question you
- 1:55:53need to ask probable is absolutely not
- 1:55:56probable I understand that but it is
- 1:55:59possible anything is
- 1:56:05possible that is very
- 1:56:09compelling that's why I'm here that's
- 1:56:11why I traveled here CU I came here to
- 1:56:14arrest
- 1:56:16you and get an explanation from you
- 1:56:19that's the second reason and since
- 1:56:21you're not giving me an explanation I
- 1:56:23guess we'll just continue with the with
- 1:56:24the uh I just have no reason to hurt
- 1:56:26Travis you do have a reason to hurt
- 1:56:28Travis what would my reason possibly be
- 1:56:30there's a whole history of you two and
- 1:56:33everybody knows it I have a whole
- 1:56:35history with other guys that why why is
- 1:56:37everybody saying that you had something
- 1:56:39to do with his
- 1:56:41death why is everybody saying that you
- 1:56:43were capable of hurting him everybody
- 1:56:46says it I don't know why any so don't
- 1:56:48tell me that you're not capable I don't
- 1:56:50even hurt spiders
- 1:56:55have you ever had any anger issues
- 1:56:57before never in your
- 1:57:01past I've had arguments Trav well
- 1:57:04everybody has arguments I'm talking
- 1:57:06about anger just absolute
- 1:57:09anger you just you lose it sometimes no
- 1:57:12I had a nervous breakdown once you taken
- 1:57:15any medication or
- 1:57:18anything well I had a nervous breakdown
- 1:57:20when a boyfriend and I were arguing once
- 1:57:23and
- 1:57:24um and he he began to argue with me in a
- 1:57:28way that was totally different from how
- 1:57:30we had ever argued before and he was
- 1:57:32just like every time I'd say something
- 1:57:34he was like you know it was kind of
- 1:57:36weird like every time I tried to
- 1:57:39formulate a thought and I was just sad
- 1:57:41and I was crying every time I tried to
- 1:57:42formulate thought he would interject and
- 1:57:45and twist it and it was like the
- 1:57:46weirdest psychological thing that had
- 1:57:49ever happened and and the way I reacted
- 1:57:53was I I went into my room who's the guy
- 1:57:55I bought a house with um I went into my
- 1:57:58room and shut the door we had separate
- 1:58:00bedrooms and I was in in his room I went
- 1:58:03down the hall into my room and shut the
- 1:58:04door and I just remember
- 1:58:06hyperventilating and that's
- 1:58:08all I I was crying and then um I went to
- 1:58:12get something out of my
- 1:58:13car and when he saw that he um maybe
- 1:58:17thought I was going to leave so he asked
- 1:58:18me for the key to his truck and pulled
- 1:58:19behind my car cuz he thought that
- 1:58:21because I was upset I shouldn't drive
- 1:58:23anywhere but I mean
- 1:58:25that's I would been arguments no anger
- 1:58:34issues that I can
- 1:58:37remember I kicked a dog
- 1:58:41once I was a freshman in high
- 1:58:44school and I love love love
- 1:58:50animals and one we had this dog his name
- 1:58:54was doggy boy and my parents until this
- 1:58:56dog that they have now have never been
- 1:58:58able to and I don't mean just them we as
- 1:59:01a family have never been able to care
- 1:59:02for a dog properly as far as give it
- 1:59:04attention and take it for walks and be
- 1:59:06consistent um so this dog stayed in the
- 1:59:08backyard a lot and he stayed tied up on
- 1:59:10you know in the shade with plenty of you
- 1:59:12know leeway at one point though he was
- 1:59:14untied and I took the trash out and he
- 1:59:19and this is when my little brother and
- 1:59:20sister were still in diapers and he tore
- 1:59:22this it was a diaper trash and he tore
- 1:59:25diapers all over the yard and of course
- 1:59:28I had to clean it up and when diapers
- 1:59:30get wet and they're like this jelly
- 1:59:32spongy weird stuff and I just I got mad
- 1:59:37and I I just kicked him with my right
- 1:59:39foot and he just moved a few feet and he
- 1:59:42didn't Yelp or anything but he just
- 1:59:44went he ran away and I never saw him
- 1:59:47came for that and I mean that's probably
- 1:59:51an anger issue I guess yes but well one
- 1:59:53time kicking a dog is an anger issue it
- 1:59:56changed my world as far as animal
- 1:59:58treatment goes CU I
- 2:00:00just I've never seen him
- 2:00:04since and I need to apologize for that
- 2:00:07to him I know it sounds weird in my
- 2:00:08relationship with animals it's kind of
- 2:00:10like they're like people too you know
- 2:00:11they have
- 2:00:12souls what you need to do is you need to
- 2:00:14apologize to
- 2:00:16Travis you just refuse I can't help you
- 2:00:20anymore if you're not going if you're
- 2:00:22not going to help
- 2:00:24yourself you ask I can't I can't Jody
- 2:00:28you can keep talking till you blew in
- 2:00:29the face
- 2:00:32man I can't continue to listen to
- 2:00:38lies do you have anything else that you
- 2:00:40need to tell me yeah you would ask me
- 2:00:42what have I been up to in the weeks
- 2:00:43since I got back what did you
- 2:00:46mean just what what have you been up
- 2:00:50to cuz I know this has to be weighing
- 2:00:53pretty heavy on
- 2:00:55you I've been trying
- 2:00:57to put his death behind
- 2:01:02me if
- 2:01:06I if I didn't anything that had anything
- 2:01:09to do with his death in any way it's not
- 2:01:12if to me I wouldn't it's not if it's not
- 2:01:16if at all well to me it is I would I
- 2:01:20would be more than remorseful is it
- 2:01:22maybe something you're blocking out of
- 2:01:23your
- 2:01:24head I don't think so I mean I tend to
- 2:01:27write everything down I tend to I just
- 2:01:31finished the book The Real D traveled
- 2:01:33and he said um the true definition of
- 2:01:36Sanity is dedication to reality at all
- 2:01:39costs so I think at times you know I may
- 2:01:42have you know prayed or meditated upon a
- 2:01:45certain way you know like like me being
- 2:01:49um wealthy or something like that but
- 2:01:54well this is definitely reality we are
- 2:01:57sitting here inside of an
- 2:02:00office the sheriff's department and you
- 2:02:03are facing first degree murder
- 2:02:06charges what you
- 2:02:08are going to be booked into jail and
- 2:02:11eventually you will be brought back to
- 2:02:13Arizona and you will stand
- 2:02:17trial that's the reality and once you
- 2:02:19realize that I think you'll be better
- 2:02:21for
- 2:02:25and if you really wanted to embrace
- 2:02:26reality you would sit here and explain
- 2:02:28to me why this
- 2:02:30happened but you refuse you refuse to
- 2:02:32embrace reality why I don't know why he
- 2:02:35was
- 2:02:36killed I don't know why I had issues
- 2:02:39with Travis if anything he had more
- 2:02:41issues with me um I've had worse issues
- 2:02:46with other people they're all still
- 2:02:47alive I'm still friends with my
- 2:02:49ex-boyfriends they're all still alive
- 2:02:51know I've been doing this a long
- 2:02:54time and there's one thing that I can
- 2:02:57never get out of my head ever since the
- 2:03:00first day I talked to you is there's an
- 2:03:03old saying that you know someone's just
- 2:03:07not acting right look into it you have
- 2:03:11not acted right from day
- 2:03:13one from day one when I talk to you on
- 2:03:16that phone I just sensed that you just
- 2:03:20you weren't acting like somebody who
- 2:03:21used to love this guy or who still loved
- 2:03:24him even as a close
- 2:03:26friend and even now when I told you that
- 2:03:29I have all this evidence against you
- 2:03:32and and that you're facing first degree
- 2:03:34mder charges
- 2:03:36you're you're just not acting right Jody
- 2:03:40you're acting like somebody who's
- 2:03:43guilty
- 2:03:48so you tell me
- 2:03:52I know because I've been doing it a long
- 2:03:53time it's taking me a long time to to
- 2:03:56figure it
- 2:03:57out but within the
- 2:04:00first 30 seconds to a minute of a
- 2:04:02conversation I can I know when
- 2:04:04somebody's acting right there's a
- 2:04:05certain way people act how did I act it
- 2:04:08it's not it's not like TV it's not
- 2:04:11anything like that it's not what you see
- 2:04:12in the movies I see
- 2:04:15reality when I accuse somebody of
- 2:04:18committed a heinous crime or you know
- 2:04:21something very
- 2:04:23serious reality hits in and they
- 2:04:26definitely act a certain way and that's
- 2:04:29not
- 2:04:30you you act just like everybody else who
- 2:04:34I accuse of doing a crime who did
- 2:04:38it and there's no other way to tell you
- 2:04:41is it because I'm not
- 2:04:42crying
- 2:04:45no it's not because of that what is it I
- 2:04:48mean I'm not going to change how I act
- 2:04:50obviously you can't way you're you're
- 2:04:52acting I mean I am who I am okay you're
- 2:04:54you're sincere in the way you're
- 2:04:56acting but uh well how is you're just
- 2:04:59you're just not telling the truth how is
- 2:05:02it different well it's not really
- 2:05:05something you need to focus on anymore I
- 2:05:07think you need to focus on the truth but
- 2:05:09it's something that you
- 2:05:11refuse so if you don't if you don't want
- 2:05:13to continue then then we'll just move on
- 2:05:16to the next
- 2:05:18step listen
- 2:05:22it's not that I didn't love Travis and
- 2:05:25it's not that I don't still love
- 2:05:27him
- 2:05:28but I really needed to move on MH
- 2:05:34and the last what prevented you from
- 2:05:37moving
- 2:05:38on nobody was preventing you from moving
- 2:05:41on
- 2:05:43well the only person preventing me
- 2:05:45really for moving on was myself and
- 2:05:47until I made that step and I moved back
- 2:05:50moved away and we communicated gradually
- 2:05:53less and less and less and I was fine
- 2:05:56with that um I haven't found the guy the
- 2:06:00man that I want to marry the person I
- 2:06:01want to spend my life with um but in my
- 2:06:04mind Travis did and I was happy from and
- 2:06:07I thought there was also a part of me
- 2:06:09that felt if I stay I'm going to
- 2:06:11jeopardize that for him as well we both
- 2:06:14deserve to be happy we both deserve to
- 2:06:17have you know be married in the temple
- 2:06:21um and that's where he wanted to
- 2:06:23go
- 2:06:26um so I mean I didn't know that maybe
- 2:06:29didn't feel that way I had never spoken
- 2:06:31to her except at church when I came down
- 2:06:33to Arizona it was really
- 2:06:35brief um and it was the bishop who told
- 2:06:38me that you know she had essentially
- 2:06:40turned him down and the last few um I
- 2:06:44mean now that I think about it he was
- 2:06:47really just the you know in his in his
- 2:06:50attitude stuff and I just thought maybe
- 2:06:52that's just because we're just beginning
- 2:06:53to more distance
- 2:06:55ourselves
- 2:06:57um and you know he still had his trip
- 2:06:59plan to come up
- 2:07:04here I just the the reason I I don't
- 2:07:08know it's not that I'm not remorseful
- 2:07:10that he
- 2:07:14died I didn't kill
- 2:07:16him I didn't take his life did you have
- 2:07:20anything to do with I had nothing to do
- 2:07:23with his death at all at all the reason
- 2:07:26I hesitate is
- 2:07:28because maybe this is something that's
- 2:07:30wrong with me psychologically is I think
- 2:07:31of the butterfly effect and it's like
- 2:07:34you could say that the guy pumping gas
- 2:07:36station pumping gas down at the gas
- 2:07:38station could have potentially because
- 2:07:39you see all these movies these funky
- 2:07:41movies where it's like this affected
- 2:07:42this which affected this which affected
- 2:07:43this if he had never done this I know if
- 2:07:45you had never met him he'd probably
- 2:07:46still be alive that's true yeah but
- 2:07:49that's because you killed him no you did
- 2:07:52I did not
- 2:07:54Jody you can't convince me otherwise
- 2:07:57unless you come up with more proof that
- 2:08:00you didn't but I can't prove that
- 2:08:02anybody else no I couldn't have what
- 2:08:05about if the car comes back that it was
- 2:08:07never even in that area it still doesn't
- 2:08:11negate the fact that we have this other
- 2:08:16evidence
- 2:08:18Ian this is absolutely of evidence I've
- 2:08:22ever had in a
- 2:08:23case and I've
- 2:08:26convicted a few people on less than this
- 2:08:29well so I'm as good as done right with
- 2:08:31that
- 2:08:33evidence yeah I just can't admit to
- 2:08:38something that I didn't do if it would
- 2:08:41help if it would help my case and give
- 2:08:43me an easier sentence I know people
- 2:08:45plead guilty for those things no and I
- 2:08:47don't want you to do that
- 2:08:52that is the absolute last thing I
- 2:08:54want well I know what I want to do is I
- 2:08:57want to sit here with
- 2:08:59you and I want to go over why you
- 2:09:02visited him that day what you guys
- 2:09:05talked
- 2:09:06about what caused you to get so
- 2:09:09angry and the details on how it happened
- 2:09:14and it's something that you probably
- 2:09:15don't want to remember but it's
- 2:09:18something that I need because for me to
- 2:09:22finish a case completely I need to know
- 2:09:26not just the details but what was going
- 2:09:28through your
- 2:09:30mind because I need to present that as a
- 2:09:33full
- 2:09:34picture because if I don't I don't feel
- 2:09:37that I've completed my job and my job is
- 2:09:40to speak for
- 2:09:42him not anybody else my job isn't to
- 2:09:45speak for you the job isn't to speak for
- 2:09:48his family it's to speak for Travis
- 2:09:53and I know something horrible happened
- 2:09:54that day absolutely
- 2:09:57horrible something that could have been
- 2:10:02avoided whether something was planned I
- 2:10:05don't
- 2:10:07know whether you planned it or whether
- 2:10:09it accidentally happened or something
- 2:10:12got out of hand I I don't know all I
- 2:10:16could do is
- 2:10:17speculate and I want to believe that
- 2:10:21that you're not this coldhearted person
- 2:10:24that could just go out and do something
- 2:10:26like this to somebody I want to believe
- 2:10:30that like a lot of
- 2:10:33people things got out of
- 2:10:36control and before you knew it it was
- 2:10:38too
- 2:10:40late that's what I want to
- 2:10:42believe and that's truly from my
- 2:10:45heart because I sit here and I've talked
- 2:10:47to you and and I'm talking to you now
- 2:10:50and all those conversations we had on
- 2:10:51the phone and I don't see a
- 2:10:53coldhearted murderer like you would see
- 2:10:55on TV or that I've seen before sit
- 2:10:58across from me that's not what I see in
- 2:11:01you
- 2:11:04and I'm going call it begging I begging
- 2:11:07you to at least come clean and tell me
- 2:11:10why
- 2:11:12because I don't want to leave here
- 2:11:16today not knowing cuz it's going to
- 2:11:20follow me forever
- 2:11:24I wish that I had answers I'm
- 2:11:28sorry
- 2:11:33I you need to just let the answers come
- 2:11:37out there's just no reason there's just
- 2:11:41no reason there's no good reason why
- 2:11:44this happened there's never a good
- 2:11:46reason why somebody dies like this
- 2:11:53how many times was Travis
- 2:11:57stabbed more than I want to
- 2:12:04remember and I'm not going to sit here
- 2:12:07and show you pictures of him after the
- 2:12:10fact I don't do that that's not how I
- 2:12:15work that is not for me to
- 2:12:18do but eventually those photos come
- 2:12:38out Jody we're here
- 2:12:41now we're right here
- 2:12:54I think you're feeling the reality in a
- 2:12:55moment
- 2:13:01now no I'm just feeling all of the
- 2:13:05things that I'm going to potentially
- 2:13:07miss miss out on with my family and I
- 2:13:10think of all the things that Travis's
- 2:13:13family is going to miss out on with
- 2:13:18Trav and he had brothers and sisters
- 2:13:21sers and I have brothers and
- 2:13:24sisters
- 2:13:29any is not
- 2:13:32[Music]
- 2:13:37fair it's not fair but this is where we
- 2:13:39are I mean I know that he's in a good
- 2:13:41place and I know that he's fine I know
- 2:13:45that he's doing great but what about all
- 2:13:48of his friends all of his family
- 2:13:51that are here and they're just going
- 2:13:53through all of this and I know it it's
- 2:13:55temporary but it's so very much right
- 2:14:06now there's just no reason I would ever
- 2:14:09want to hurt
- 2:14:13him or whether you want to to is is a
- 2:14:16different question I'm just saying I
- 2:14:19don't think you wanted to
- 2:14:21I really don't think you wanted
- 2:14:27to this speaks for itself I it speaks
- 2:14:31for itself
- 2:14:33Jody it goes beyond
- 2:14:36speculation this is Way Beyond
- 2:14:40speculation this is downright
- 2:14:43proof but there's no backstory to it all
- 2:14:47I know is that
- 2:14:54I need a story or else it's just cold
- 2:14:57it's so
- 2:15:01cold you don't look like the person that
- 2:15:04would plan something like this you
- 2:15:08you're just not that
- 2:15:10person I can believe other things but
- 2:15:12not
- 2:15:14that but without the truth I can't paint
- 2:15:17another picture
- 2:15:24and it's going to be up to the
- 2:15:25prosecutor to paint that picture and if
- 2:15:27you want that prosecutor and I've met
- 2:15:29him and you don't want him painting that
- 2:15:33picture because he is good and what he
- 2:15:38does I've worked with him
- 2:15:41before and you allow him to paint that
- 2:15:43picture for
- 2:15:45you it's not going to be
- 2:15:49good it looks like you don't really uh
- 2:15:52need anything it just looks like I mean
- 2:15:55it looks like you don't even need a good
- 2:15:57prosecutor anyway so I mean you're right
- 2:16:01I I have to maintain my innocence I
- 2:16:04can't admit to doing something that I
- 2:16:06haven't done and there's
- 2:16:09and part of me wants to cough out and
- 2:16:12say it no well if you're going to cop
- 2:16:16out it's because you're telling the
- 2:16:18truth well that's not really cop okay
- 2:16:22yeah I don't want you to sit here and
- 2:16:24tell me a lie to appease me that is the
- 2:16:28worst thing you can do for
- 2:16:34me but back there in that mind of yours
- 2:16:37is somebody screaming to get out and
- 2:16:40tell me what happened but you just
- 2:16:49cannot he nothing but I mean except for
- 2:16:52some mean words that he said people have
- 2:16:55said worse to me or just as bad except
- 2:16:58for that he's never he's helped me he's
- 2:17:01given me money he was selling me his car
- 2:17:03on the easiest lest terms
- 2:17:07ever there's no reason why it just
- 2:17:17happens there's just no will I have more
- 2:17:19work to do
- 2:17:22can you give me a rundown of what's
- 2:17:23going to happen from here when you
- 2:17:26leave yeah you're uh like just today for
- 2:17:33example well you'll probably be taken
- 2:17:35across the street to the County
- 2:17:37Jail uh you'll be processed through
- 2:17:39there you'll be set in front of a judge
- 2:17:44at least within 24
- 2:17:46hours and
- 2:17:49uh there's a warrant for your rest and
- 2:17:52the bond is $2
- 2:17:55million if you can come up with a $2
- 2:17:57million
- 2:17:58Bond then the judge will decide whether
- 2:18:00to you know accept that 2 million or
- 2:18:03not at that point we're going to file
- 2:18:07extradition papers basically our courts
- 2:18:10are saying that hey you have someone in
- 2:18:12custody on one of our charges we want
- 2:18:15them brought back to
- 2:18:17Arizona or at least allow us to come
- 2:18:19pick them up and that's called an
- 2:18:21extradition hearing you will be given
- 2:18:24the opportunity to either wave it and
- 2:18:27say that's fine I'll just go on my own
- 2:18:30free
- 2:18:31will or you can fight it and say no I
- 2:18:35don't want to go back to to Arizon what
- 2:18:37if I say I go on my own free will of
- 2:18:39course I would go yeah at that point the
- 2:18:41judge would say okay she's not fighting
- 2:18:43this so come get her and then we would
- 2:18:47go what if I did fight then what happen
- 2:18:49then you would have a hearing
- 2:18:51like a little
- 2:18:52trial basic it delays it and cost
- 2:18:56money and then you'll be trans uh
- 2:18:59transferred transferred over to the mar
- 2:19:03County Jail in
- 2:19:05Phoenix and you will start your court
- 2:19:07proceedings

- 2:19:11um I've already filed these
- 2:19:14charges it went to a grand jury and a
- 2:19:16grand jury indicted

- 2:19:22record so does everyone know if somebody
- 2:19:24goes on checks public record they can
- 2:19:26check it and they would come out with an
- 2:19:29indictment against you for work but it's
