1:14polygraph I promise
1:16Chris
1:18all right
1:20turned out for a minute take a deep
1:22breath
1:23and I want you to take a deep breath
1:25right now
1:32there's a reason you feel sick to your
1:34stomach and when people hold stuff
1:36inside it makes you physically ill
1:39and I can just tell on your face I could
1:41tell you tell from the second you walked
1:43in that you were wanting to just come
1:46clean and just be done with this
1:48and I appreciate that because you knew
1:50sitting down in that chair that you
1:52weren't going to pass today and you knew
1:54I was going to find out because I told
1:56you that and then you continued to stay
1:59knowing that you could at the end say
2:02you know what
2:03I just need to get this off my chest
2:05like I just need to tell you what
2:06happened
2:08we're not we're not here to play games
2:09we're not here to do any of that with
2:11you we just want to know what happened
2:14so can you start from the beginning and
2:16tell us what happened
2:18everything that after I told you I have
2:21not lied on this polygraph I am
2:23I don't know how much I could
2:26tell you right now like it's not an
2:29option right now because you did not
2:31pass the polygraph so I know you were
2:32being deceptive so that's not even an
2:34issue right now the issue right now is
2:36what happened to shananne
2:39Bella and Celeste that's the issue right
2:42now
2:44so let's talk about that
2:47I know I know you want to tell us I I
2:49can I can see it in your face
2:53holding this line in is going to do
2:55nothing for you I I know this like I'm
2:58not like trying to like cover things up
3:01like yeah but you kind of are because
3:03and it's normal normal people would do
3:06that there are more people that make a
3:08mistake initially are going to go I
3:10don't know what you're talking about I
3:11didn't do anything that's normal I would
3:14expect that
3:15it's just like if you ask your kid you
3:17know did you write on the wall they go
3:18no you're like you have marker on your
3:21hand like I know you just squirrel on
3:22the wall and they're like oh okay that's
3:24a natural reaction that someone's gonna
3:26initially lie about something like that
3:28and then eventually tell the truth so
3:30this is your eventually telling the
3:32truth time
3:34this is where this is where the rubber
3:36meets the road Chris
3:38like don't let this continue any longer
3:41please
3:42I'm not trying to make anything continue
3:45like I want them back home like
3:48but you know they're not coming back
3:50home
3:51you know that I don't know in the back
3:53of my head I hope they come back home

4:12I told you that we've done some work
4:14overnight yeah I told you that we've got
4:15a lot of movies okay that wasn't a lie I
4:18don't know we know a lot more than
4:19anything
4:21but here's what we're
4:24going to be you're this great guy and
4:25I'm not just telling you that okay I'm
4:27telling you that because everyone tells
4:29us that okay
4:31we can't find anyone to say anything bad
4:33about you Chris is a great guy he's a
4:35good father
4:36he's a good man
4:38confused as to why you're not taking
4:41your beautiful children
4:44how am I taking care of them right now
4:45right now where are they
4:49don't know where they're at
4:55I honest I do not know where they're at

5:04I want them back I want everybody back
5:10to God's honest truth
5:36foreign
5:49foreign
6:13we just can't figure out
6:16where there's two Chris's okay
6:19we talked about that last night yes we
6:21just can't figure it out
6:25there's a Chris okay
6:29my first child routine I would say I
6:31don't know go after them all
6:33the truth right
6:35and so
6:36it is very surprising to me and it warms
6:38my heart that you're the type of dad who
6:41can pack a bag in the morning and you
6:43know what you have to put the foot in
6:44there and you know just what to put in
6:46there as a backup in case they have an
6:48accident okay
6:49closed captioning not available
7:19you today
7:21I know
7:23and this is very good
7:25I
7:29I'm not proud of it
7:31I
7:32I don't think anything like that could
7:34happen without a thing I ever do it but
7:35I did
7:42she accused me of it I denied it
7:45I I actually just on her and I feel
7:48horrible for it like she was pregnant
7:50and
7:51it was
7:54I don't wanna
7:58that didn't hurt her I cheated I hurt
8:01her emotionally I treated on her
8:03and
8:07I feel absolutely horrible about this
8:09but
8:10that's what I've been holding I think
8:11when I didn't go to the Rockies game I
8:14was with her
8:16I went to dinner with her
8:18okay
8:22keep going
8:24that five week sales alone I was my
8:27third Muslim most of the time
8:30you're doing a good job this is the
8:32crisp that I knew would come out today
8:33this is the crazy tells the truth
8:35because you're a truth teller
8:39and I'd say I thought I love Scott fell
8:41a little better
8:43absolutely okay I mean that's true
8:48who is her
8:50so I don't want to get her involved in
8:52this I don't want to ruin her life it's
8:54like it's some something like this I
8:55don't want her involved in this okay
8:57so can we talk about that a little bit
8:59yes
9:01I knew that you would say you didn't
9:04want to get her involved
9:05because I could use a city here she's a
9:08wonderful person like I mean she knew I
9:11was married yes and that's why we were
9:13going through the issues yes
9:17and I told her that you know we're going
9:19to get you know at the end like you're
9:20going to be separate like once I've
9:22figured out what that was I didn't know
9:23what that was going to be I know I had
9:25no idea I like you know
9:28I saw her took my breath away and I'd
9:32never thought in the years that could
9:34happen you know how do you think I'm a
9:36figure
9:36um like but like it was I never felt
9:40that way about anybody like anybody of
9:43all the time
9:45Christmas not your fault yeah no no
9:50can we do this
9:53I know you want to take care of her
9:55because it's because you're a type of
9:57guy that takes care of women
9:58and if you took care of your wife you
10:00took care of your daughters you were
10:01very good at taking care and you want to
10:03take care of her should we make a deal
10:08I don't think this girl
10:11did anything to hurt anybody but
10:14I can't walk out of here wondering
10:17so can we leave her out of it I'll try
10:19to get back to your wife and your
10:20daughters okay where are they
10:23I do not know
10:25that was what I was holding back like I
10:27didn't know like what I could I know
10:29Chris in the interview today you weren't
10:32asked about infidelity
10:34you were asked about that was I was
10:36holding back from last night
10:44it's not just the ones that we talked
10:46about being important
10:49like the ones you wanted me to lie about
10:51like is that what you're talking about
10:53no the words about her disappearance and
10:56knowing where she's at and about what
10:58you about paying her last
11:01night I was not lying about those things
11:05yes okay
11:08so
11:09I'm going into that interview today with
11:11Tammy where we stretch you in we knew we
11:14knew all about Nikki
11:17okay all about it
11:20and you're doing a very good job right
11:23now because you didn't have to tell us
11:24about it but you did
11:26um
11:27we could see it on your chest I can't in
11:29your eyes okay
11:31here's a challenge that we have
11:33we knew about Mickey and so we didn't
11:35need to ask you about her in the
11:37polygraph who just didn't lead to
11:39because we knew okay
11:40and so that's why we didn't ask you
11:43because we already knew the answer okay
11:45we're very very worried about your
11:47daughters and
11:49so can I tell you maybe
11:52based on the people that I talked to and
11:54Tammy's talks to based on all the
11:56investigations we've done based on
11:59your cell phone both your cell phones
12:01your wife's cell phone Nikki's cell
12:04phone
12:05okay
12:06based on talking with family members and
12:08friends and people talking with everyone
12:10here's what we know okay and I'm not
12:12gonna lie to right now here's what we
12:13know okay question is good man
12:16everyone said it okay I'm not just
12:18telling you that because I you know I
12:20want to blow smoke here you're a good
12:21man okay
12:23nobody can fake answers about packing a
12:26backpack for nobody you either pack a
12:28backpack for your kids or you don't okay
12:32it should have been the happiest time of
12:34your marriage
12:36okay
12:38this should have been the happiest
12:40time she's making a little money she's
12:41making good money you're making great
12:43money you both have a job you have
12:45beautiful kids you have a beautiful
12:46house you're in Colorado clean air good
12:48people okay and on top of that
12:51you're pretty good now
12:53you're pretty sad okay this should have
12:56been a time in your marriage where you
12:58guys were happy and thriving and
12:59productive okay and I believe that
13:03shenan is the reason none of that
13:04happened
13:05I believe that she's a controlling
13:07person
13:09maybe doesn't listen to you as much as
13:10she should
13:15do whatever she wants and you can't
13:19okay
13:20I think if you were to go to a
13:21restaurant she would order whatever the
13:23hell she wants
13:24and as soon as you order a nice steaks
13:26he says well buddy
13:30a woman that lets her man do all the
13:32backpack packing and all of her cooking
13:34I'll do all the cooking but actually
13:36Cooks like I do like
13:39things here okay
13:41that's because you're a good person and
13:43I think that she started on the path to
13:45leave the marriage
13:48ironic that we're talking about even
13:50Nikki Nikki I think that she was the one
13:52who started on that path first
13:57what do you think about that
14:00I wouldn't have thought about that
14:04the other thing I think is interesting
14:05is
14:06even though she is that type of person
14:08that's controlling doesn't listen does
14:11what she wants is walking away from her
14:13kids
14:14here you are defending her
14:16because to your core you want to take
14:18care of the people you love
14:21okay
14:22and that's the reason why
14:25we want to give you an opportunity today
14:28to just help us find them okay
14:32will you do that for us I'll do whatever
14:35I can to help but find where they're at
14:37okay
14:39so when she asked you do you know
14:42where they are or are you going to tell
14:43the truth about where they are who
14:45failed miserably
14:46okay
14:48why
14:49I'm I'm a nervous person like every
14:52question to ask every question that felt
14:54like
14:55I did I wouldn't even say the right of
14:57thing that's not how the polygraph works
14:58I don't like I don't know like what it
15:01reads like I know what she was saying
15:03about the autonomy of of the process but
15:07like
15:10from where they're at
15:13Chris right now you're down to outside
15:14he's from across the country down

18:5130 against it like why
18:53okay
19:01can you understand that some of this

20:55okay I didn't okay that was a
20:57misunderstanding question

27:52you are
28:01which one of these that's the breathing
28:03thing

28:07has the eoe

31:36end
31:38they're always they're they're always
31:40taken care of they're always they never
31:42miss a meal
31:49you took them out of the house with
31:51their blankets and their animals
31:55like that's because you cared
32:00that's why Karen died
32:02I mean I'm always caring for these kids
32:04there's nothing in this invisible
32:07for my life
32:13I believe that
32:16I believe that I believe someone made a
32:18mistake whether it was you you or Shania
32:22and you've either cleaned up after
32:23shenan or you made the mistake and
32:27I want to believe that maybe shenan did
32:29it and you felt compelled to
32:33fix this so shenan didn't look bad
32:37that's what that's what I want to
32:38believe
32:41but I don't know you're not telling me
32:43that so it makes me think the worst like
32:45if you I did that to all three of them
32:53tell us Chris
32:57chicks are crazy can I was talking to my
32:59dad or something
33:01do you want to bring him in here
33:06that flew across the country
33:08how about this
33:11if we brought your dad in here would you
33:14please tell him what happened
33:19here for like five or six hours and I'm
33:22like
33:23absolutely Chris
33:27it's not going to feel any better
33:31he deserves an answer
33:34it's your best friend
33:39there's only one person you wanted here
33:41lost your dad yes
33:45what would you tell him
33:48I I love them
33:53I just want to be by my side
33:59he knows more than we do the Arabic man
34:03and he knows
34:05as much as you want a protection your
34:07wife
34:11I think he would tell you to do the
34:12right thing
34:14before we get him
34:15can I go out there and talk to him
34:17well I don't know that you want to do it
34:19up there because there's a lot of people
34:20going through the Halls should we bring
34:22them in here
34:31we just asked a couple more questions
34:40it seems like you're about to
34:42get her off her chest
34:48is there any way that you can help us
34:50understand
34:52more about Shania and why maybe
34:55something happened
34:57so that we don't get a bad picture about
35:00her
35:03what I mean is
35:05what happened at night with her
35:10firstly after I talked to her
35:12with the girls
35:16it's like when we were having that
35:18conversation in bed there
35:22uh
35:24and I talked to her about separation in
35:27the house and just asking about the
35:29affair and
35:31that's that's how that conversation went
35:34and God she was destroyed she she had
35:36like mascara on her face all that I'm
35:39gonna do this
35:40that was emotional
35:43well how about this
35:46if we bring in your dad
35:48will you promised maybe I'll talk to him
35:53or you promised me to go tell him
35:54everything
35:57would it be easier if you told him than
35:59he told us
36:06I don't know if that's even easier
36:09or not I think you're the type of guy
36:10that
36:11needs to take responsibility because you
36:13always have taken responsibility you've
36:15always knew the right choice
36:16so I guess I'm just worried that if we
36:19bring your dad in here
36:21that could distract you
36:24what do you think
36:27that distract me from like talking to
36:29you yeah
36:31okay
36:35all right I know you'll do the right
36:38thing I do
36:39I don't know how long it's going to take
36:45I think that you need to think a little
36:46bit more about then
36:48okay
36:49you need to realize that your dad is not
36:51going to stop loving you no matter what
36:52you tell him you are his child
36:55and you will not stop loving you
36:59never and this is not the last chapter
37:02in any one story
37:13he's been here the whole time
37:15you know he didn't want to leave you
37:18have you ever seen uh sometimes when an
37:22animal's owner dies they stick around
37:24forever having Mr dad
37:32poor guy didn't want to leave today okay
37:36so keep that in mind
37:40he wants to hear it all
37:48okay
38:18I know
38:24what's going on
38:25[Music]
38:27and it's uh polygraph

38:48much another thing

1:17:50um
1:17:52and the girls with their pajamas were
1:17:58both
1:18:00nightgowns
1:18:05Celeste I think was that pink one with
1:18:08the like herbs on it okay
1:18:11those was
1:18:13their unicorn I believe on it
1:18:17okay
1:18:19so it sounds like I mean it feels like
1:18:21to me now we know pretty well how to go
1:18:23get him is there anything else we need
1:18:25to know
1:18:41think about how to get them yeah
1:18:44just uh does someone have to climb them
1:18:46to the top and unscrew something and
1:18:48then lower something down to get them
1:18:50they're like
1:18:52it's just a hatch from the top and
1:18:54they're like 20 foot tanks
1:18:56far down are they
1:19:00wherever the food that was in the tank
1:19:02I'm not sure okay what was it when you
1:19:05were there I don't know
1:19:10sorry
1:19:12you may go out there
1:19:15I don't think so would you prefer not to
1:19:16I didn't know if you needed help going
1:19:19getting there you know you know I don't
1:19:21know um I think once we got that picture
1:19:23because we didn't really know how much
1:19:27about the location that the other police
1:19:29officers knew that it sounds like they
1:19:31knew somehow right right how to get to
1:19:34319 so and I think that's how they got
1:19:37that picture
1:19:44does your um
1:19:47does your Nanny came
1:19:50do you have that camera
1:19:51it's a monitor are you monitor it is
1:19:54Video One
1:19:55it's like it Cycles back and forth
1:19:57between one probably the room oh okay
1:20:00okay
1:20:02is there any chance it records
1:20:15just knowing that at the fair or
1:20:19she knew she just needed me to admit it
1:20:21and I would admit it yeah
1:20:23okay
1:20:27so we just started talking about
1:20:29um I asked him if there's any chance
1:20:30that the nanny cam could have recorded
1:20:33doing what she did
1:20:35and then we kind of we were just getting
1:20:37into
1:20:38you know
1:20:39what Chris thinks about why she's found
1:20:42um
1:20:43who's his family
1:20:44distress from knowing about the other
1:20:47girl
1:20:52knowing that she didn't really know
1:20:53right I mean she knew
1:21:06can we talk about a couple tough things
1:21:10um I think we need to get it out of the
1:21:11way
1:21:12and just really get it out just to make
1:21:15sure you have every chance to explain
1:21:18exactly what happened and we have every
1:21:19chance to ask questions
1:21:22um
1:21:23so the conversation happened
1:21:27you go downstairs
1:21:29she's still upstairs and then you see
1:21:32what
1:21:33I heard this commotion upstairs just
1:21:36like you know like
1:21:38okay
1:21:42in the beginning of it
1:21:53so it's not as though that annoys me to
1:21:55run up you just found it okay
1:22:02let's look at the Monitor and
1:22:05it feels unbelt and where is the monitor
1:22:08where's the screen that you look at is

1:22:32three four five seconds
1:22:36like interval between when they when it
1:22:38Cycles from the room
1:22:41and cycle it over the series room

1:27:49when I saw that
1:27:52foreign
1:28:06no okay
1:28:12people in my family have always said
1:28:14she's unstable my friends
1:28:16I'd never like would have thought
1:28:18too many fucking years
1:28:20who says she's unstable
1:28:23um my family my friend Mark
1:28:27people that have seen her around me
1:28:33oh my bad picture of her
1:28:35well it doesn't look good I'm not gonna
1:28:37lie
1:28:39looks actually pretty bad
1:28:47these girls you know fell on Cece and
1:28:50Shania is it possible when we get them
1:28:54that we're going to see anything other
1:28:57than the cause of death being her hands
1:29:03and what I mean by that and I should be
1:29:04very clear
1:29:05is that
1:29:07um it
1:29:09it's some some of it's hard to believe
1:29:11that your wife did it or not right you
1:29:13can imagine that oh no okay so is it
1:29:16possible that
1:29:17maybe she
1:29:19did one
1:29:22and then you got shenan so easy to
1:29:25Shannon what she did to one of your
1:29:26daughters and then you had to just do it
1:29:28to the other one so I think okay
1:29:30someone's there that's not no no okay
1:29:35is it possible that
1:29:37is there any other way where we might
1:29:39see your hands on the girl's neck
1:29:42and you know what I mean because when we
1:29:44find Their little bodies oh no we're
1:29:46gonna see the diameter of someone's hand
1:29:48yeah and someone's fingers right so is
1:29:51it at all possible or no see yours no
1:29:54all right and I know it's hard and I
1:29:56know you're probably getting angry at my
1:29:57question but we have to ask

1:30:51do you think
1:30:53um about calling an ambulance
1:31:00and I've never seen
1:31:02something like that in my life
1:31:05I mean she just like way over like
1:31:07nothing was moving at all no gas no
1:31:11breath
1:31:12just totally just oh okay doing the
1:31:16shower for a long time no I
1:31:20I know a lot of about
1:31:22ecology and there's Partners like
1:31:24working what people are thinking and
1:31:25most parents
1:31:27will never even want to Fathom that
1:31:30their kids or the kid is dead even if
1:31:32their kids stiff blue in bed I mean
1:31:35stiff like been dead all night they
1:31:37still call the ambulance to see if
1:31:39someone can revive their child
1:31:42when the animals get that gets there and
1:31:44they're like
1:31:46that has been dead all night like
1:31:48there's nothing we could do the person's
1:31:50like what are you why are you not doing
1:31:51something what are you talking about
1:31:53but that's what I'm that's what we're
1:31:54used to so I just that's why I want you
1:31:56to explain to me like what was going on
1:31:58in your head and where did I felt for
1:32:00what she was what she did
1:32:04I just took over
1:32:13but do you see that yeah
1:32:16that's the order coming from those
1:32:18parents would still try and call me
1:32:19where you're coming from
1:32:21wow
1:32:39I just I would hate for
1:32:42shenan to get a bad rap
1:32:44she didn't have anything to do it you
1:32:46know it's not fair enough
1:32:49yeah
1:32:52like enough bad stuff has happened but
1:32:54like we need to stop the bad stuff
1:33:01that is true
1:33:13I want to make sure
1:33:18so you're good with the public knowing
1:33:19that shenan killed her daughters I did
1:33:21not hurt these girls are you okay with
1:33:23the public knowing that shenan yes
1:33:25because I did not have these girls
1:33:32Chris I'm not sure
1:33:53if you didn't save them either
1:33:57you know
1:33:58know that
1:34:02I know that should I foundations either
1:34:06this makes sense nothing like why she
1:34:09would be there any I know this makes
1:34:12sense
1:34:18you sure didn't touch
1:34:20it oh my God no
1:34:26no Chris you can imagine that
1:34:32we're pretty cynical in our jobs right
1:34:34and tonight we've had to talk a lot
1:34:37about a lot of things and
1:34:42don't get mad but what it looks like is
1:34:44that
1:34:46you found a new life
1:34:48and the only way to get that new elect
1:34:49was to get rid of the old life
1:34:52and I think that you killed these girls
1:34:55before their mom came home and then
1:34:57killed him now
1:35:00and that's what we're kind of left
1:35:01that's what we have to believe because
1:35:03it just doesn't make sense I mean to her
1:35:06point
1:35:07if I walked in and my kid was
1:35:09decapitated I call an ambulance right
1:35:12knowing there's no hope it just it just
1:35:15doesn't make sense it just doesn't add
1:35:17up so
1:35:19either you're this monster so I just
1:35:22want this young hot girlfriend so I'm
1:35:24going to kill everyone and hope it works
1:35:26out
1:35:26for something
1:35:29so I think we're very very close to the
1:35:32truth but not about there it is
1:35:38so if you're not that monster I'm not a
1:35:40monster I didn't
1:35:43home my babies okay
1:35:52so
1:35:57I know but you know we're getting later
1:36:00into the day we've done this a few times
1:36:01and we we talk and we show you a little
1:36:06bit of what we're working with some
1:36:07evidence and facts that we know and then
1:36:08we kind of get our way to the truth
1:36:11okay everything absolutely true
1:36:16so what's going to happen when their
1:36:18cause of death comes back to you for the
1:36:20girls not going to okay
1:36:22are you sure I'm 100 positive it's not

1:40:34no
1:40:37no
1:40:49yesterday when you were talking
1:40:53um and again this is before we kind of
1:40:55got to this moment today

1:41:00we were talking shit I don't know where
1:41:01they are I don't know where they are and
1:41:03then you said something along the lines
1:41:04of whatever happened to him is acted
1:41:06pure evil what does that mean

1:41:21too and I thought evil for God did Mr
1:41:23Man
1:41:27okay
1:41:33so
1:41:35one other thing that doesn't make sense
1:41:36to me
1:41:38is well I don't know
1:41:47can you walk me through again
1:41:50when you walked in what did she look
1:41:52like
1:41:54what did she she never look like all
1:41:55yourselves are back
1:41:57was it the same shirt that you buried
1:41:58during
1:41:59same underwear
1:42:01and then when she wearing pajamas
1:42:04for that yeah that's what she said oh
1:42:07she's been Center everywhere and no
1:42:09pajamas no shorts nothing like that so
1:42:11then when you grab her
1:42:14um just as is that's how she gets to the
1:42:16drug and how she gets to the site
1:42:22so did Japan ever go to bed
1:42:26like I put her back into bed no no like
1:42:29when she got home
1:42:31did any of that happen where she went
1:42:33like she got into bed and then you woke
1:42:34her up at four like that too because it
1:42:37looks like there's some purchase of some
1:42:39hair care products and
1:42:43let you know about that
1:42:46and her credit card was denied
1:42:51you know
1:42:52you said you don't really use for credit
1:42:54cards though my credit card no would you
1:42:57have bought hair care products at 2 30
1:42:59in the morning that morning
1:43:02did she
1:43:03get mad at you because there's no money
1:43:07to show about like was that part of this
1:43:10is the first I've heard of that
1:43:13as far as your hair care products in the
1:43:14car are coming tonight I mean
1:43:17and I'm not lying about that I'm just
1:43:19that's why I'm asking about that is
1:43:20something that came up
1:43:23is there any reason that she would have
1:43:25a black eye Shania
1:43:28it's not from a slap or a punch or
1:43:31nothing like that whatever okay punch
1:43:33yourself
1:43:35is there any reason she would have a
1:43:36stat mark on her money no
1:43:39and no other reason for death
1:43:42Coroner's not going to find rat poison
1:43:44in her stomach
1:43:48the only way that she died she was
1:43:50living breathing and wasn't living
1:43:52breathing after your hands on her neck
1:44:09what were you talking to
1:44:11Nikki about before your wife got home
1:44:17of course you go
1:44:19you talked for like several hours
1:44:23and we talk a lot
1:44:26conversations
1:44:28random conversations we talk a lot
1:44:32does Nikki know about any of this
1:44:35seriously
1:44:37no way I mean she knows like from the
1:44:40news and everything like that
1:44:43anything else you can show her anything
1:44:48does she know your wife was pregnant
1:44:50she doesn't know and I told her that
1:44:53she didn't know at the time
1:44:55how come you didn't tell her I was
1:44:58scared too
1:45:01I felt like you know
1:45:05like she wasn't even like gone on a date
1:45:07with me and she knew that so it's
1:45:11did she know you were married with kids
1:45:13yes okay but just not pregnant yes
1:45:19that's all that you know like we were we
1:45:21were actively tried
1:45:23before we met
1:45:26um trying to get pregnant okay
1:45:32um you can imagine that when we go talk
1:45:34to people going forward everyone's going
1:45:37to try to distance themselves from any
1:45:39of this yes and so it's what's going to
1:45:42happen when Nikki says no it was our
1:45:44plan to kill everyone and run off
1:45:45together
1:45:51we were going to talk to her absolutely
1:45:53we have to
1:45:58so can we eat ahead of that for you can
1:46:01we can hold that out right now I mean so
1:46:04are you sure she's not going to say oh I
1:46:06kind of knew he was going to kill him no
1:46:07she's not going to say no okay
1:46:10and she's not gonna say boy we were
1:46:12making plans about buying a house or an
1:46:14apartment she can say that like she
1:46:17really gives us
1:46:18like once I had my own place like you
1:46:20know like hang out more okay
1:46:22so after this information after that
1:46:24dust settled then you would have
1:46:26availability to go scenicing can you
1:46:29send talks like that
1:46:30yeah I mean like she generally like me
1:46:37please don't put her name out there
1:46:45so it's just like that we we never try
1:46:47to put out but I'm just really but you
1:46:49guys that they got from an affair they
1:46:51would they would drag her through the
1:46:53mud I don't want that you know we're
1:46:55certainly not going to try to make that
1:46:56happen
1:46:59ing I know this press conference except
1:47:04everything
1:47:10so what do you think about everything
1:47:11now
1:47:18you feel sorry for what you did
1:47:21I wish I would I would have lost some
1:47:23control
1:47:30and then did that
1:47:34one
1:47:36thing yes
1:47:49um
1:48:03so after we after we look at their
1:48:05bodies

1:49:01that's the reason why I come in with a
1:49:02lawyer agreement so it's like kind of
1:49:04this is gonna happen so
1:49:08we appreciate that
1:49:24you know eventually they were gonna find
1:49:26them out there
1:49:28so it was kind of inevitable
1:49:31and you were just been sitting at home
1:49:33waiting for that moment to happen
1:49:38and then one then what does it look like
1:49:41it looks
