- 3:15I'm not gonna pick anymore
- 3:17because I'm not absolutely positive and
- 3:19maybe it's just that pictures look
- 3:21different from moving bases
- 3:24do you think that uh if you saw this guy
- 3:27in the street today you could recognize
- 3:29it you want the truth I don't know
- 3:33everybody says I would he said as soon
- 3:35as he walked up to me I'd Flash
- 3:38[Music]
- 3:48but anyway
- 3:50people have asked me if I would remember
- 3:52the person and I said I don't know if I
- 3:53would and they said oh sure you would
- 3:55that's something you wouldn't forget if
- 3:57you saw him again you would know him
- 3:59well I don't know that I've never been
- 4:01faced with something like this before so
- 4:03I don't know that I would know him again
- 4:06and I'm not going to
- 4:08say that for sure somebody is the person
- 4:11if I'm not for sure
- 4:13because after what I've just been
- 4:15through and I know I'm not the person I
- 4:16wouldn't put somebody else through that
- 4:17unless I was sure you feel fairly
- 4:20comfortable with none of the people
- 4:23no you don't feel comfortable no I
- 4:27in other words five looks real close
- 4:29okay
- 4:33but not not enough that I'm going to say
- 4:35hey that's him
- 4:37because
- 4:41then you go to start doing to him what
- 4:43you've done to me and if he isn't him I
- 4:46would I would put pity on him I mean
- 4:51not that you guys you guys really
- 4:52haven't been that bad she said she took
- 4:54my kids from you okay okay
- 5:00my kids are playing
- 5:02but anyway fireworks
- 5:11well why aren't you
- 5:13step back down there
- 5:15the classical goes periodically
- 5:20we have been talking about
- 5:23some people you consider to be enemies
- 5:25yeah this type is still working good
- 5:30and you have given me three names
- 5:33of people who
- 5:35be the most likely candidate
- 5:38to do something like this to you and
- 5:40your kids
- 5:42from the beginning again
- 5:45why don't you go ahead and run that bias
- 5:48and tell us what what if any of you
- 5:51think those people have okay
- 5:54this is our fourth trial now so I may
- 5:57forget things to remind me and I will be
- 5:59phrase okay
- 6:01stays down my ex-husband
- 6:05I divorced him two years ago and he
- 6:09hated me for that even before that I got
- 6:12pregnant
- 6:13with Daniel by somebody else not him
- 6:17and he's not the biological father he
- 6:19hated me for that
- 6:22um
- 6:25it it destroyed his
- 6:28character disgrace them to his friend
- 6:31that I would do these things he tried
- 6:34for the whole two years to try and get
- 6:35me back together
- 6:37[Music]
- 6:38um
- 6:39I never did go back with him so he hated
- 6:43me for it I don't know
- 6:46okay
- 6:47that's that's a big motive as far as his
- 6:49relationship with the kids goes
- 6:53excuse me
- 6:54as far as his relationship with the kids
- 6:57goes
- 6:58he Christie is a very obedient
- 7:00well-mannered child
- 7:03she would do anything you'd ask without
- 7:05asking price it makes it easy to ignore
- 7:07her
- 7:09in some cases because you don't have to
- 7:12yell at her and it's the reason she got
- 7:15ignored by Stephen because Steve it just
- 7:18proves again that Steve didn't have any
- 7:20real love or feeling for the kids
- 7:22because the only time he spent time with
- 7:24the kids when Cher was being reprimanded
- 7:27because she was so hyper and breaking
- 7:29things and getting into stuff and
- 7:30climbing on chairs and hanging on people
- 7:32and and he used to yell at her and just
- 7:34give her hair emotionally for it
- 7:37and there were times when he was
- 7:39physical with her too
- 7:41and so sure got lots of attention Chris
- 7:44he got none of attention but all the
- 7:45attention Charlotte was being was bad
- 7:46but that's not good
- 7:48Danny
- 7:49is a completely different case
- 7:51altogether
- 7:53he wasn't biologically students and the
- 7:55whole time that I was pregnant Steve was
- 7:57vicious with me
- 7:59and when I finished being pregnant
- 8:04he hated Daniel and after that's when I
- 8:07was pregnant he said as long as you have
- 8:09a girl baby you will see what happened
- 8:11but if you have a boy you're both out on
- 8:14your ass
- 8:15and I said fine well Danny turned it up
- 8:18to be a boy and Steve hated him at first
- 8:22with a passion
- 8:24whenever Dan would cry he'd scream for
- 8:27him to shut up and stuff like that so
- 8:29he even told me to leave
- 8:32and then when I said fine he said no you
- 8:34can't leave because he didn't look like
- 8:36he had failed and this person that got
- 8:38me pregnant had one or something it was
- 8:40just another murder was ego and so he
- 8:42was torn between wanting to get rid of
- 8:44us and destroy the evidence of what I
- 8:47had done and at the same time
- 8:50he didn't want to look like he'd lost
- 8:52and it was it was a drug
- 8:54turmoil inside of him like I said he's a
- 8:57complex person it's not any one thing
- 8:59that would make him hate me it's just
- 9:00everything all together makes him hate
- 9:02me more and more okay let's go on to
- 9:04number two so much
- 9:08is Steve's Death Throne has been friends
- 9:11for about
- 9:12five or six years I guess he'll do more
- 9:15I don't really know
- 9:22does it if one can commit a crime and
- 9:25get away with it the other one will do
- 9:27it and I don't know why it is dude I
- 9:30like a step ladder and they keep filling
- 9:32each other up and drugs hated me while I
- 9:35was pregnant because he hated me
- 9:38most of the time the name is D it was
- 9:41almost like a jealousy because Steve
- 9:43would rather spend more time with me
- 9:44than he would with Greg because we were
- 9:47an obligation we were a family he had to
- 9:49come home and spend time with us and so
- 9:52Greg didn't like that because he was
- 9:54younger at the same girl and he wanted
- 9:56to be with him
- 9:57and so he wanted to split us up while I
- 10:00was pregnant with Danny Steve told Brad
- 10:02that Daniel was biologically somebody
- 10:04offers
- 10:05and
- 10:06Greg hated me even more for that during
- 10:09the last part of my pregnancy drug used
- 10:11to cry and hang up
- 10:13whenever I answered the phone trying to
- 10:15make it sound like the girl was calling
- 10:16and hanging up and Steve found out that
- 10:18it was great doing it and told him to
- 10:20knock it off and Greg told him and the
- 10:22best thing that could ever happen to you
- 10:23to get rid of her and those kids and
- 10:25that stupid thing she's pregnant with
- 10:27and so that was Greg's attitude about me
- 10:30and the kids he didn't have any use for
- 10:32us at all
- 10:34then when we got our divorce Greg was
- 10:37very pleased
- 10:38turned around with Steve a lot
- 10:40he traveled over the girls being around
- 10:43sometimes but that was basically a
- 10:46toleration didn't really like them
- 10:49and Daniel he put up with Danny because
- 10:52Steve likes to take Danny places because
- 10:54Danny's a jewel he's an angel
- 10:56he's smart he's bright he's fun see
- 10:59we're taking places it was a showpiece
- 11:01for him and so Greg put up with that
- 11:03because it made Steve happy
- 11:05and
- 11:07when I brought the kids up here
- 11:11the kids weren't ever going to come back
- 11:12to Arizona the kids and I probably would
- 11:14have stayed here for the rest of our
- 11:15lives and we didn't need Steve he was
- 11:18not part of our life there was no use
- 11:20for him
- 11:21and Steve knew that he knew I thought
- 11:24that way about it and Greg knew that I
- 11:26felt that way about it
- 11:28when I came up here with Charlene which
- 11:30is Nick's wife will talk about her mix
- 11:32called steva and
- 11:35Nick was supposed to be joining me up
- 11:37here
- 11:38and so she called Steve and tried to do
- 11:41something to make Steve angry enough to
- 11:44force his hand to do something to bring
- 11:47the kids back there by bringing me back
- 11:49there by Nick would still be his wife
- 11:51his Nick would still be her husband and
- 11:54I would still be his mistress that at
- 11:55least she would have him
- 11:57so she started railing on Steve about
- 12:00how could he let his kids leave the
- 12:02state why doesn't he turn me in well the
- 12:03kids were in my custody they were my
- 12:06kids so he didn't have the right to keep
- 12:08the kids but she did that to him she
- 12:10just really
- 12:11tormented I might guess with it and he
- 12:13says well there's nothing I can do about
- 12:15it the kids are gone and perhaps that
- 12:17aided him but Greg on the other hand was
- 12:21probably elated that they were gone
- 12:22except for the fact that Steve was
- 12:25probably upset about it so Greg was
- 12:27upset about it and if he and Stephen
- 12:29lost three girlfriends because he has
- 12:31kids and now that Greg has a girlfriend
- 12:33or a wife I don't think people get
- 12:35married anymore not a dog has a
- 12:36girlfriend and a baby
- 12:38and he's settling down to I guess being
- 12:41sort of a family man to an extent he
- 12:43still has his girlfriends and stuff but
- 12:45you know he has somebody to sleep with
- 12:47every night type attitude he wanted
- 12:49Steve to have the same thing well he's
- 12:52lost three girls he's lost three
- 12:53girlfriends because of the kids so if
- 12:55Greg could eliminate the kids
- 12:59it would release Steve of his
- 13:00responsibility then he could get a
- 13:02girlfriend or a wife or whatever and it
- 13:04would also punish me at the same time
- 13:06because I would hurt because I love the
- 13:09kids and Greg knows I love the kids more
- 13:10than anybody so he would be getting even
- 13:12with me after all these years he would
- 13:14finally be doing me in
- 13:16okay
- 13:17let's talk about Charlene Charlene
- 13:20Charlene Knickerbocker she's an ex-wife
- 13:24um
- 13:25hurricane motive is still going it's not
- 13:28quite half over her main motive is the
- 13:31fact that Nick loves me I can't say love
- 13:33Mick loved me
- 13:36um
- 13:37we have been together for a year
- 13:40and it was an affair I was his mistress
- 13:42and that I'm not ashamed of that it's
- 13:45just the way life is sometimes
- 13:48he made me happy and I made him happy he
- 13:50left Charlene
- 13:52several times
- 13:54and he physically moved out on her twice
- 13:57in almost three times
- 14:00but every time he went back because of
- 14:02an obligation to her
- 14:04or for whatever other reason
- 14:06and
- 14:08he would go back to her but within two
- 14:10or three months
- 14:12he was always coming back and saying I'm
- 14:14sorry I'd rather be with you
- 14:17and it was
- 14:19just back and forth like that and it
- 14:21probably always would have been that way
- 14:23except that the next time Nick decided
- 14:26that he'd rather be with me I'm here
- 14:28and therefore Nick would have to either
- 14:31move up here or bring me back there but
- 14:34if Nick moved up here Charlene and her
- 14:36family all lived down there and she
- 14:40would have no reason to move up here
- 14:41except to follow Nick I think that that
- 14:43would hurt her Pride it would hurt mine
- 14:45I think
- 14:46but uh
- 14:48promoting would be that if she destroyed
- 14:50my kids
- 14:52she would destroy Nick's desire for me
- 14:55because Nick is a person that doesn't
- 14:57like complications he doesn't like
- 15:00hassles and there's nothing more
- 15:02complicating than a murder
- 15:04and no matter who gets murdered no
- 15:07matter who does the murdering if it was
- 15:09my kids but that killed Nick would never
- 15:12want to talk to me again let alone
- 15:14be a companion with me again and at the
- 15:19same time she would destroy me
- 15:21so those are the three people that you
- 15:24feel would be
- 15:25most likely most likely to commit a
- 15:28crime like this
- 15:32you mentioned earlier to us that uh
- 15:36this individual
- 15:39talk to you referred to you by name and
- 15:42also refer to your tattoo right
- 15:46can we get into a little bit
- 15:49more about
- 15:53the conversation he had what as as close
- 15:56as you can remember what did he tell you
- 15:59I don't remember all I know is that he
- 16:02used my name
- 16:03I don't remember most of the
- 16:05conversation
- 16:07I don't remember most of the action I
- 16:09remember seeing Christy get shot and
- 16:11that's about Alan I remember getting
- 16:13back in the car and driving to the
- 16:14hospital he threatened you though right
- 16:16yeah okay and the threat was words to
- 16:20the effect of what
- 16:24I don't remember but to the effect was
- 16:26that if I said anything to anybody that
- 16:28I know that you're waiting for me to say
- 16:30they because that's what and I almost
- 16:32did it again
- 16:33but every time I start rambling and I
- 16:36start talking about it and thinking fast
- 16:38I say they so I don't know if there was
- 16:41a day I remember a he
- 16:43but what I said was you only saw one
- 16:47person I only recall seeing one person
- 16:49one person okay
- 16:52anyway maybe there was another person
- 16:54there and that's what I'm blanking at I
- 16:56don't know I'm not a psychologist and I
- 16:58don't pretend to try to understand it
- 16:59I'm totally confusing I'll cut you off
- 17:03just a second ago you were going to say
- 17:04something about words to the effect that
- 17:07if you say anything about what happened
- 17:10here that they'd come back and kill me
- 17:13and I don't know why I said they it was
- 17:17just something that popped out maybe
- 17:20maybe he said that maybe he was alone
- 17:23and he was referring to the person that
- 17:24sent him maybe there were two people
- 17:27there maybe there were five people there
- 17:29I don't know was there other
- 17:31conversation besides this and you just
- 17:34don't remember it I'm sure that there
- 17:35was
- 17:37because
- 17:39he said that I was supposed to keep my
- 17:41mouth shut
- 17:42and not say anything and there must have
- 17:44been something for me to say if he was
- 17:46still just threatening me not to throw
- 17:48anything
- 17:49I mean I don't know that there was other
- 17:50conversation but it makes sense because
- 17:52there'd be no reason to say that if
- 17:54there wasn't
- 17:55see
- 17:56ing so this this person Knew You
- 17:59referred to you by name and referred to
- 18:01your tattoo
- 18:02do you feel that it's logical to assume
- 18:05that
- 18:08this individual was sent up here from
- 18:11Arizona I would think so because
- 18:15there are only a couple of people up
- 18:17here that know about my actually my
- 18:18parents didn't even know about my tattoo
- 18:20Steve told him when he came out here but
- 18:24only a couple people up here know him
- 18:26and they were my best friends and they
- 18:28would have no they weren't my enemies
- 18:30they I've only been here for six weeks
- 18:31and like I said I have a way of getting
- 18:34on people so that they hate my guts or
- 18:36they really like me and I haven't been
- 18:38here long enough to get any enemies and
- 18:40so the people that knew about my tattoo
- 18:42up here would have no reason to do this
- 18:45so if they refer to my tattoo that means
- 18:48they must have come from Arizona or were
- 18:51sent from Arizona
- 18:54I know I know we're just going over this
- 18:57when you came into the room earlier how
- 19:00would they know that I was going to be
- 19:01on that road I don't know
- 19:04I have no idea Nick and I discussed that
- 19:07and you're right it makes absolutely no
- 19:09logic it's always set up how would
- 19:11somebody know I would be on that
- 19:12obsolete Road
- 19:13I haven't got the founders except like I
- 19:16was saying
- 19:17when I went to the hospital
- 19:19doesn't work yet I went to the hospital
- 19:24I told the Springfield police or whoever
- 19:27what happened they wanted me to go back
- 19:29out to the scene I said fine I went
- 19:32then as we were driving up old Mohawk
- 19:35Road it flashed that there was a yellow
- 19:38car there and that it wasn't there now
- 19:41and I said wait there was a yellow car
- 19:44and he said
- 19:46was this person driving the car and I
- 19:48said I don't know I don't think so I
- 19:50didn't see him in the car
- 19:52the car was just parked here I said are
- 19:54you sure it was parked here I said yeah
- 19:56I think so I passed it
- 19:59so I don't know I don't know if Burks
- 20:03asked me the other day was I followed
- 20:06no I don't know that I was following
- 20:09but who looks to see if you're followed
- 20:11do you remember being followed
- 20:14after it happened could he run back to
- 20:16that yellow car and follow you
- 20:20I don't know after I got in the car I
- 20:23don't remember anything but Christy wait
- 20:25a second if you were followed
- 20:27how could they get somebody in front to
- 20:30weighs me down I don't know
- 20:32I don't know I don't understand it
- 20:35is I mean the whole case yes it is
- 20:40all I know is I can tell you you still
- 20:42have the anything that I can remember to
- 20:44tell you to tell you okay yeah if it
- 20:46doesn't fit in we'll get them at you
- 20:48siphon it out just telling you what I
- 20:51remember I remember a yellow car and it
- 20:54seems important for some reason it was
- 20:57important enough that when I told the
- 20:59story the way it happened
- 21:01and I didn't say anything about it it
- 21:03was important enough that my mind said
- 21:04wait there's a yellow car when we went
- 21:07back out there and I could and I just
- 21:08knew I was going to go back to that
- 21:09thing and I could see the trees and I
- 21:11could see the bends in the road and I
- 21:12would be seeing again my kids getting
- 21:14shot
- 21:16and it was something my mind was just
- 21:18fighting with that and the yellow car
- 21:20was there and my mind just looked pink a
- 21:23yellow car whether it meant anything or
- 21:25not
- 21:26and like I was saying at the time
- 21:29it's so weird
- 21:35at the time that the person threatened
- 21:38me and said that I wasn't supposed to
- 21:40say anything because I would be too old
- 21:44I didn't say anything
- 21:46and for some reason it didn't seem that
- 21:48it was somebody that knew me and I don't
- 21:50know why because that's insane too
- 21:53it was I mean it's like you're both ways
- 21:56you know that the person knew you
- 21:59but you're confused because you've never
- 22:00seen that specific person before
- 22:03and you're so concerned about the kids
- 22:05living or dying and one of them did die
- 22:10and you've got so many things on your
- 22:12mind just since the cottage your son
- 22:14looked out about everything that you've
- 22:16seen everything that you've felt
- 22:18and maybe your mind just doesn't let you
- 22:21feel that it was your fault even though
- 22:23it was somebody that hated me that much
- 22:25that did that and so you block out the
- 22:27fact what it was somebody
- 22:30but knew you even though you know that
- 22:32it was something this isn't making sense
- 22:34you're making faces but it does make
- 22:35sense even though I don't understand you
- 22:37mentioned something about being your
- 22:39fault
- 22:40somebody hated me enough that they would
- 22:42do this
- 22:45yeah and because of the way you are that
- 22:51they began to hate you that that's the
- 22:54reason this happens
- 22:56in other words you said earlier people
- 22:58either like you or they hate you and the
- 23:00reasons
- 23:02and the reason people hate you is
- 23:04because you tell them what you what they
- 23:06think and because this happened
- 23:10I
- 23:12okay I really don't need to hear that
- 23:15you guys
- 23:16Steve does that on the phone too
- 23:18oh you don't like the word no therefore
- 23:22it makes it my fault I I hate that I
- 23:24can't stand it because
- 23:28um okay
- 23:31um
- 23:34while you were there
- 23:37is there anything else that's clicked or
- 23:39flashed with you about
- 23:41[Music]
- 23:45no but what happened at the scene that's
- 23:48what I'm saying at the time that it
- 23:50happened
- 23:51even though I knew that it was somebody
- 23:53that knew me
- 23:54it didn't
- 23:56click or whatever it didn't register
- 23:58that it was somebody that you need
- 23:59because I didn't talk about it
- 24:01and on the way to the hospital
- 24:03began thinking about
- 24:05I remember what's the highlights the
- 24:07things that I could remember
- 24:09but you obviously were afraid to tell us
- 24:13that the person needs my name because
- 24:15that was the last thing that
- 24:17he said that was the last thing you said
- 24:19yeah it was don't say
- 24:24I don't know what he said something
- 24:26about don't say that
- 24:29don't say it he just said no I don't
- 24:31know what it was I don't remember what
- 24:33it was were you still standing outside
- 24:35the car when you said that yeah you
- 24:37hadn't gotten back in the car where you
- 24:39had been shot yes
- 24:41okay
- 24:43and so on the way to the hospital you
- 24:45began to think well I can't I don't want
- 24:47to tell the police
- 24:49about what he said right because you
- 24:52were afraid
- 24:53of retaliation right
- 24:55okay but I told you what happened yeah
- 24:57but I didn't tell you that the person
- 24:59knew me
- 25:02[Music]
- 25:11I didn't know that she would do that
- 25:14Kurt
- 25:15we had the arms of ours on you and the
- 25:17children before we ever interviewed you
- 25:19in the hospital I mean we interviewed
- 25:21you that night at the hospital
- 25:23from the hospital
- 25:26I didn't know that
- 25:42that that's just not right something's
- 25:45wrong there I mean if you had fear for
- 25:48your safety and your children's safety
- 25:50it would seem to me that that would have
- 25:52been
- 25:53the best time when you have all the
- 25:56policemen around armed guards on both
- 25:58kids and you saw that for several days
- 26:00armed guards on yourself
- 26:01for several days it would seem to me
- 26:04that would be the safest time not now
- 26:09yeah
- 26:13correct but the person has no reason to
- 26:15come get me mad because you guys are
- 26:17chasing me
- 26:19he couldn't be closer they don't know
- 26:21that we're still showing pictures he
- 26:23doesn't know that the newspaper
- 26:25so it doesn't mean anything do you guys
- 26:27are still calling me a suspect
- 26:30with the alleged attack
- 26:34ER than the person that did this it's
- 26:36not an alleged attack
- 26:39I know there's no question it outlines
- 26:41if somebody shot those kids I know
- 26:47okay
- 26:49the keys yes no
- 26:53go ahead no no
- 26:56I feel very uncomfortable right now
- 26:59and I think probably because you guys
- 27:02are becoming so unreceptive you're
- 27:04getting tired I'm getting tired and I
- 27:05really think that a later time would be
- 27:07better
- 27:08you're you're being impatient and a lot
- 27:11of person like I said earlier I'm not a
- 27:13person that says I'm sorry very often
- 27:15I'm also not a person that has a lot of
- 27:17patience with
- 27:19men
- 27:20at important locations of men we're
- 27:23getting more information we're getting
- 27:25anxious I know okay it's that kind of
- 27:28exciting you know yes it is and it's
- 27:30scary I think that
- 27:33how's that basement
- 27:34[Music]
- 27:40but what I was going to ask about was
- 27:42the keys they hit
- 27:46the
- 27:47barrel of the black
- 27:49Tuesday
