WEBVTT - Keith

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Previously on Happy Face.

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I got a phone call and this guy says, I

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 2>know where you're at. You're in the kitchen and you're

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>wearing this. Keith states that he hired somewhat.

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 3>My mom had just said that her and my dad

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 3>were separating, which I did believe.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to keep like you guys's baby pictures, and

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 2>he chucked out all up.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 4>He wasn't exactly a faithful lust.

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely not tell me about your wedding day. They

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>were doing pictures of me, and I guess he was

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>outside kissing the bridesmaids, my best friend.

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 5>After the second murder, the Happy Face killer says he

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 5>realized he liked what he was doing.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 6>This triggered something in me. He said, it was getting easy,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 6>real easy.

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 2>The first year with Melissa had went through two fires.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 6>Keith Tait.

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>The vent I had a little toilet cover and it

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>caught it on fire, and the whole bathroom was in golf.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Then shortly after that we go camping and then I

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>heard a bear. He cleaned fish in front of the

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>cabin and he was sleeping in the car.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 4>He started killing in nineteen ninety and he stopped in

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 4>ninety five.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 3>The five years is not an isolated event.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 7>It was an escalation.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I think he was groomed to be who he is.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 7>In the vite, in the fight with the Sun.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, shine o.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 9>Shiver oh.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Through.

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 4>One of the biggest questions you're faced with when looking

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>at the lives of serial killers is where did it

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 4>all begin? What makes a person become a killer? Is

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 4>it something that's passed down through generations or is there

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 4>a single moment that can turn someone from a normal

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 4>human being with a job and a family into a monster?

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 4>Are serial killers made or are they born? I'm Lauren

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 4>brad Pacheco, and this is happy face.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 8>I remember the first time I saw my father in prison,

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 8>and the first thing he said to me was Missy,

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 8>do you want.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 9>To know why?

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 7>And at the time, I couldn't.

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 8>I couldn't handle the answer, and honestly, I thought whatever

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 8>he was going to tell me would be just him

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 8>trying to justify what he's done or to minimize what

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 8>he's done, and so I didn't want some pacifying answer.

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 7>So I said no.

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 8>And I regretted that moment for so many years now

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 8>because I want to know why.

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 9>Why about my father had.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 8>An interest in crime was because he wanted to become

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 8>a police officer in Canada. He wanted to be a Mountie,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 8>and he was declined from becoming that because of an

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 8>injury he sustained in high school. What he told me

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 8>is that in gym class, they do this rope exercise

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 8>where they climb the rope to the ceiling of the gym,

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 8>which is quite high.

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>They say, now when they interview killers, people who've been

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>perpetually in jail, they have found that a large percentage

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>of them had damaged their frontal lobe before they were

0:03:53.800 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, changes their whole personality. Keith fell in high school.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I believe it was twenty five feet. He was on

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the very top of the rope and I let go.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>He fell to the gym floor.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 8>He sustained a head injury and broke his hip, and

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 8>this impacted his ability to join the force. I don't

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 8>believe my dad ever got over that. It was something

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 8>that he carried on in conversations, that there was a

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 8>sense of resentment that he was now a long haul

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 8>truck driver when he could have.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 7>Had this other life that was just out of his grasp.

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>But as Melissa's mom, Rose told us, She really thinks

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 4>that Keith was conditioned to be a killer, groomed to

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.119
<v Speaker 4>be one by his own father less, and that's something

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 4>we felt we had to explore.

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>From I The Creation of a Serial Killer by Jack Olsen,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>The Jesperson children grew up in a rural atmosphere, first

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in Chiliwack, British Columbia, later two hundred and fifty miles

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>south in Sale, Washington, an apple scented orchard community of

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand. Keith's perpetually mobile father built the family's Chiliwack

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>home on land as ancestors homestead, and in nineteen oh

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>nine moved the house from the city to a pastoral

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>area outside of town. Cleared five acres with a borrowed bulldozer,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>built a barn with a loft for his children and

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a wooden bridge big enough for the family horses to

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>cross the little creek that rose from the springs above

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the property line. Later, he damned the creek and built

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a water wheel to trap chinook and silver salmon as

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they swam up from the Vetter River to spawn.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 4>If you read jack Olson's biography of Keith, the way

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 4>in which he describes Keith's father less It's very clear

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 4>that Less was a very resourceful, ingenious man, the kind

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 4>of guy who could build a barn from scratch or

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 4>create a water wheel to catch fish for dinner. But

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 4>what also is clear is that he could be a monster.

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>We decided that we didn't want to live near your

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>grandfather anymore.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 6>Why he was horrible. I hated him. Really. Yeah.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 2>He would without warning, open up the door to our

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>house and he goes, we just sleep.

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 8>With me to you, to me, I had no idea.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, your father in law, Yes, your father in law

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 4>hit on you, yes, more than once, Like well.

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would be I'd be sitting right next to

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Keith and he would come and he'd pinch me, and

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking, Keith, what are you doing? And then

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.679
<v Speaker 2>I see his hand and they start giggling. I don't

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>know who I was more angry with Keith for not

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>protecting me or for Less for doing it.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 4>So you think Keith knew his father would make passes

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 4>at you.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Well he was right there, and they thought it was

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>a joke. And the only time I was saved is

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 2>when I was pregnant with Melissa. Then I was off

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the tables.

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Keith's attitude towards marriage very much mirrored the relationship he

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 4>saw unfold between his own father and his mother, Gladys.

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I.

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Knew that last beat the kids a lot. I don't

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>know if he beat Gladys or not, but I know

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>that there was problems between Gladys and least because when

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 2>we were for married, Keith goes, I have to go

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 2>down to the house and they go okay. So he

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>went down to the house, came back and he was

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>really visibly upset. I said, so what went on? He goes, yeah,

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>mom and dad got in a fight, and I guess

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>dad cut every telephone wire in the house.

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 7>Was less a drinker.

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 2>He was a heavy alcoholic.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 4>One of the few people that Keith opened up to

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 4>about his childhood was a true crime author and psychologist

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 4>named al Carlyle. Melissa met him almost completely by chance.

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 8>I was invited to go to crime con and this

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 8>gentleman approached the booth and he said, hey, you know,

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 8>I've got this author who's working on serial killers. And

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 8>he said, well, his name is al Carlyle and he

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 8>studied Ted Bundy and he's working on a chapter of

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 8>the serial killer named Keith Hunter. Jesperson so when I

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 8>got that calm, I called him immediately, and I loved

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 8>his perspective. He had stories that I've never even heard

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 8>of before about the man I thought I knew.

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.599
<v Speaker 4>Unfortunately, the night before we were supposed to interview Al Carlyle,

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 4>he passed away in his sleep, and it was heartbreaking.

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 4>He was such a fascinating, brilliant man. But we were

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 4>able to reach out to Stephen Booth, his publisher, and

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 4>also to Carrie Ann Keller, who was his researcher and

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 4>writing assistant.

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 10>Keith felt that I had a real mission to understand

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 10>bylent behavior, so that was their common ground. They each

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 10>felt the other could provide valuable information. Once Al was

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 10>up there interviewing Keith, and Keith said to Al, I

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 10>could reach over this table and snap your head before

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 10>the guard would even notice. I don't because I don't

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 10>want to lose my privileges. He wasn't threatening Al, he

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 10>was just making a point about his size. Okay, So

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 10>that's how you have to understand how Keith could talk.

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 7>So it's like.

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Being in a room with a loaded gun.

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, for sure, definitely you feel it.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 11>My name is Stephen Booth. I have been the publisher

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 11>at Genius Book Publishing since twenty eleven. Keith Jefferson was

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 11>in a situation where he had a very manipulative father.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 11>The father, by the way, freaks me out. He had

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.599
<v Speaker 11>a very manipulative father. He was required to be obedient

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 11>at all times, he was given conflicting information about what

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 11>ethical standards were and how to behave, and he was

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 11>isolated from his family, even by his own siblings.

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 4>What's incredible, though, is that Al Carlisle's family gave us

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 4>the tapes of his interviews with Jessperson in prison, and

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 4>you can hear the intimate details and how much Keith

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 4>opened up to him.

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 6>Brad the older, Brad was a younger. Bruce is the oldest.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 6>When did they start calling you? Igor?

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 5>Was my junior high I was in eighth grade, and

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 5>then Brad was in the seventh grade and he wanted

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 5>to be big with his friends, so he started calling

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 5>me Igor because of the Monster movies, and I figured

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 5>out was his psidekick. I was big physically at the

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 5>time and slow slow physically.

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, I was. I was. I was big, and I

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 6>was not very well co ordinated.

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 5>No, not really intelligent. I'm very intelligent. But I just

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 5>didn't adapt myself to it.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 11>Keith was made to pay his own room and board

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 11>when the other kids were not made to do that,

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 11>so he would be an example to the other siblings.

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 4>And this was when he was twelve thirteen years old, precisely.

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 11>Yes, you know, the father forced him to work. He

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 11>got paid a pittance. Most of that money went back

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 11>to roomin to board, and whatever was left over the

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 11>father basically took out of the bank account. And whenever

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 11>he got into trouble, everybody pointed the finger at Keith.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 11>His siblings did, his father did, his friends did. He

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 11>was isolated, harboring a lot of resentment, violent rage like

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 11>resentment towards his father. And I mean, what was that

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 11>story about him, the boy when he was about eight

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 11>years old who kept blaming him for things and then

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 11>Keith let loose and tried to beat him to death.

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I have a memory that kid young.

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was just he was every time he would say,

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 5>well Keith did this, and Keith did that, and I'd

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 5>get the belt and I'd get nailed and I'd get

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 5>punished and so forth, he'd sit back laugh hah ha ha,

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 5>this is funny. And one day, I caught him off

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 5>the back door when he was ready to scream Keith

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 5>did it and I was beating him, damn or to death.

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 6>You're old when I was about eight years old at

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 6>the time, when you were eating the kid, did you

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 6>feel you're in control? Did you just lose it with

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 6>his song? I just lost it. I didn't. I didn't.

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't think they had anything to do with control,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 5>and just had paybacks a bitch, you know. And I

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 5>just grabbed him and just started wailing him. Of course

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know him to stop. I was going to

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 5>beat him to death.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 11>He was put in a position where he could not win,

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 11>and he could not take his rage out on his

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 11>father because father I had have dialed in. So he

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 11>took his rage out on the closest person to him,

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 11>who was embarrassing him.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 6>You know, I sure taught him elast him. So even

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 6>by the age of eight, there was a lot of anger.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there was anger there angers, Yeah you do me wrong.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 6>It was like, yeah, I was you doing me wrong?

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 6>I was I was gonna. I was bounding and determined

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 6>to get even from I.

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>The creation of a serial killer by Jack Olsen, sometimes

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the Jesperson males proud the creek banks for muskrats. I'd

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>yank one out of the water by its tail and

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 1>throw it up on the bank. Then Dad or one

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of my brothers would club it to death. We also

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>killed gophers, hundreds of them. They were a farm pest

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and nobody missed them. Dad has films of us boys

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>blood splattered from k killing gophers and other varmints. It

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>was our form of recreation. After we grew up and

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>got married, Dad liked to show the film to our wives.

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>He would joke watch my natural born killers as they

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>dispense of their victims. You don't want to run into

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>them in a dark alley.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 7>Based on their jail health interview. What did al make

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 7>of my dad's childhood.

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 10>He was fascinated by his passivity, you know, Keith's passivity

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 10>as a child. This dichonomous behavior of a shy and

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 10>passive child who becomes fully the opposite as an adult

0:15:55.280 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 10>was very interesting to him. He understood how Keith was

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 10>bitter about the control his father had over him. He

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 10>knew he wasn't able to stand up to his father's dominance,

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 10>but Keith accepted it, you know, as his lot.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 9>In life and he kind of liked it because well

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 9>he did full trapped by his father. He was afraid

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 9>of his father. He also had a strong desire to

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 9>have his dad love him.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 8>I feared my grandfather like even though he never hit me,

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 8>I was terrified at my grandfather being angry with me

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 8>because I don't know what he would do.

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 7>Maybe even know about the motorcycle story.

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 9>I do. I do. So he has this motorcycle, Keith

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 9>that he saved up money for a brand new motorcycle. Okay,

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 9>it's not a piece of junk like from cobble together Junkyard.

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 5>And I had bought it in a seven p fifty

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 5>hand a motorcycle. It was a seventy four brand new

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 5>gold Mati orange, you know, like a bright orange colored.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 6>It was a beautiful bike.

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 5>And it came hunting season and I was working for

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 5>Dad at the time, and Brad and I wanted to

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 5>go hunting over on the coast by Klama. Of course,

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 5>we need a four wheel drive and I was gonna

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 5>use the company pickup. Well, I said, Dad, can I

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 5>use the company pick up? And he says, shirkey, But

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 5>one stipulation and I knew was coming, and he says,

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 5>you leave me your motorcycle so I could go on

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 5>a motorcycle ride with that. And I said no, because

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.439
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna get drunk and you're gonna get on it

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 5>and you're gonna wreck the bike.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 6>Oh I am gonna drink. And I said no, I

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 6>false promises.

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, well, in order for me to get to

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 5>pick up, I had to give him the bike. So

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 5>I get to pick up, and I load up and

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 5>the Honting supplies and we take off over the Klama.

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.160
<v Speaker 5>We have a hell of a nice time all weekend long.

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 5>I got in the morning on Monday morning, I go

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 5>back to the dump truck in the backyard. We have

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 5>a swimming pool to dig that day. And I walked

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 5>through the back door and I said, where the hell's

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 5>dad at? And we got this swimming pool to dig

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 5>over here, And Mom said, oh, you don't know.

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 6>He says he wrecked the motorcycle. He's in the hospital.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 4>And I guess Keith was on an architect trip or something.

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.159
<v Speaker 4>What happened when he came back, do you know?

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, then Keith had to run the businesses. He had

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to do everything. He was the sole provider for two families.

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>His dad and mine.

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 6>Ours, and so I call up the company there.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 5>The people that were going to do the swimming pool

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 5>told me I wouldn't be there. My dad's in the

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 5>hospital and I have to go take care of business.

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 5>So I go to Sainte's hospital and there he his

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.880
<v Speaker 5>dad up there on the floor and he's they operated

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 5>on reports blane and his face is all bandaged up,

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of nose and down are off.

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 2>He hit a bob wire and I cut up his intestines.

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 2>He has a big stars. He had a big scar

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 2>in his face.

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 5>I get up there and he's like looked at me,

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 5>and I said, well, what happened?

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 6>Daddy?

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 12>You gotta you gotta get back that motorcycle you got.

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.119
<v Speaker 12>You gotta take care of all the evidence. Keith, you

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 12>gotta take care of it. I said, what what do

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 12>you mean to take care of us? Go get rid

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 12>of it. So you've been drinkingnoyment? He said, just take

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 12>care of it way you said, we.

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 5>Don't want that insurance company knowing that I was riding drunk.

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Did Keith drink No?

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 7>No, it was absolutely like no alcohol. He was the

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 7>only one out of all my aunts and uncle said,

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 7>didn't drink at all. I I grew up and you

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 7>didn't drink either. You and dad didn't drink at all.

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm growing up no, because my father was an

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>alcoholic too, and so you either choose it or you don't.

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 2>And I chose not to. And that's your dad chose

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>not to drink either.

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 5>But I get up to my dad and I sat

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 5>up to the hospital and my mom's there, and I said, well, Dad,

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 5>I got rid of all that. And he said, good good,

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 5>good goodness. Now, why were you drinking on my motor

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 5>my motorcycle? Says I wasn't drinking on your motorcycle. Yes,

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:10.160
<v Speaker 5>your word, he says, prove it. You can't prove it.

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 5>So you got rid of all the evidence, so you

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 5>can't prove shit.

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:22.240
<v Speaker 8>I'll give you your Cota Molliqua for your lotter olive.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 6>You drunk of all up?

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 5>Whoa, And that's basically how it all lands up, says

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 5>everything is.

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 6>I was covering up everything. I said. I was like

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 6>eighteen at that time.

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:46.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.439
<v Speaker 4>Less basically made Keith go hide the evidence so that

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 4>he could get insurance money that it didn't know.

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 2>It wouldn't surprise me because LUs was very famous for that.

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 5>His business ethics of that was that the boss was

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 5>always right and the employees were always wrong, which.

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.399
<v Speaker 6>Man the employee took the heat. Yes, it did, and

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm just getting to that.

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 5>His idea was that if there's any problems that occurred

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 5>on the job, that I would get shit on and

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 5>he would get the glory of saying I'm sorry or

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 5>whatever like that. I'll it'll never happen, you know, I'll

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 5>just make sure my son never does this stuff again.

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 6>So I was like the blueted an idiot, you know,

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 6>and doing all that.

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 5>And I kind of laughed one day because my dad

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 5>was on the bacco when he was digging next to

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 5>his house and he put the bucket right through the

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 5>side of the house. He has no depth perception. That

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 5>was one of his problems. That he stuck the bucket

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 5>to the side of the house. And the people were

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 5>in the house and they were looking out and they

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 5>saw him running thebacco right and they come running out

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 5>of the corner. But by the time they got around

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.360
<v Speaker 5>to who the bacca was, he'd already stop machine.

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 6>And he'd gotten me on that. And they were looking at.

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 5>Him and looked at me, and I said, I did it,

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 5>and they were like, why do you put up with that?

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.560
<v Speaker 6>I said, that's the way it is. I am the

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 6>ship on.

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Less told him this is the way what you're going

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 2>to say in court, and Keith did in order for

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 2>them to win a court case for the motilepart line

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.199
<v Speaker 2>or absolutely did it.

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Seems like he wasn't the most honest man.

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>No, no, he wasn't. He swindled people. I called him

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.119
<v Speaker 2>a swindler, and he had a really good lawyer.

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 11>My understanding is that, how do I say this? Left

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 11>to his own devices, Keith would have been a pretty

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 11>happy kid. He described his childhood as being fairly happy,

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 11>and he would have probably not Harvard as much rage.

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 11>He probably would have been somebody who got along with people.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 11>But from al to me, from Keith to tell to me,

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:08.680
<v Speaker 11>his childhood was more a matter of he was the target.

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 11>He was the scapegoat, for lack of a better word,

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 11>of everybody's need to avoid Less's rage or manipulation or

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 11>whatever it is. He had nobody backing him up, and

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 11>he didn't even know how to back himself up, so

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 11>all he could do was absorb all this negative energy

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 11>about everything that was going on.

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 4>There's an interview with your dad about your grandfather made

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 4>him go visit a friend of your grandfather's who was dying,

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 4>and your dad was really resentful because he had to

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.959
<v Speaker 4>go sit and make conversations with his dying man, because

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 4>your grandfather said nobody should have to die alone. And

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 4>your dad was talking to the guy before he realized

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 4>he had already passed away.

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 3>I had no idea about this.

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Dad still treated me like the run of the litter,

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Daddy's little helper. He dragged me to a nursing home

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to visit one of his hunting buddies. He said, my

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>friend Smitty's not doing too good with his lung cancer. Keith,

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going out in the hall talk to him, son.

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Nobody likes to die alone. I'm sitting there listening to

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the rattley breathing, watching his life draane out. After a while,

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Smitty goes limp. I'm holding his hand for ten or

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes before I realize he's dead. On our way home,

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>he said, Keith, someday you'll thank me for putting you

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>through this. I never feared a dead person after that.

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>When I was killing, I'd talked to my victims as

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>if they were still alive. It was something to thank

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to add for.

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 3>My dad was really good about telling his story, his narrative,

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 3>and he'd be everybody to the punch and it would

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 3>just when his story came forward, people always judged everybody

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 3>else's tail against what he had to say. My dad

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 3>had ownership, like the truth was his. He owned the

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:43.359
<v Speaker 3>truth and it was not debatable. His air of certainty

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 3>definitely played a part in other people believing in him

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 3>and why probably his victims believed in him and trusted

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 3>him over their own voices. He exuded confidence and certainty

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 3>and whatever he said was truth and you can rely

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.360
<v Speaker 3>upon it and you could trust it, but.

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 9>Not really.

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 11>May I ask a question, Yes, why is it that

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 11>when Rose left Keith and took the kids, she went

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 11>over to Lesson's house?

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 9>What do you mean?

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:31.960
<v Speaker 11>The story that I got was when she left and

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 11>emptied the house, the first place she went was Less's house.

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 11>That is a direct quote from the history that I

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 11>was reading this morning, and I can share that with

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:41.399
<v Speaker 11>you if you need me to.

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 4>From from Keith.

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, Oh, that's that's that's the story that I got.

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 11>It could be wrong, but that's the story that that

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 11>AL got.

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 7>That's interesting that he would say that I was there

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.439
<v Speaker 7>that didn't happen. Okay, I was there the day that

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 7>they left. That would make sense that my dad was

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:03.239
<v Speaker 7>shared that's story to shame my mother and put her

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 7>into that frame of light.

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 11>Oh.

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 7>I actually remember play by play, minute by minute of

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 7>that day that they separated, And there was not one

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 7>single time that we went over to my grandparents' house.

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 7>Matter of fact, they were gone, and there was not

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 7>anything that we cleaned out in that property because we

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 7>left in the four Topaz, which is just a little

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 7>family sedan. We didn't take a single item from that

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.359
<v Speaker 7>house other than the clothes that we needed for like

0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 7>a couple days. Wow.

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 11>So that is not the story that I got from

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 11>al from Keith. Yeah, that's fascinating.

0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 7>So that's interesting that he came up with this this

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 7>new story, a new spin.

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 6>What happened?

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 11>Well, I'm glad I asked, because honestly, I bought the

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 11>story that Keith gave out. You know, I mean, it

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.560
<v Speaker 11>seemed reasonable. She left, she took everything, whether she went

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 11>over to the father's house. Some of this is fantasy.

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 11>Some of this is making Keith feel better about himself.

0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 11>So how truthful, was he without?

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 5>Now it's all right to lie, it's all right to

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 5>be gnising and so forth.

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 6>You can. You can do that because you're an adult,

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:12.160
<v Speaker 6>you know you can do that. But when you're a kid,

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 6>you can't lie to your parents.

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 13>You know, because you know he called, you know he

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 13>would call on hokus And I remember you comforting me

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 13>after one particular phone call where we were living on

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 13>a street over here.

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 7>And he called and said he was suicidal because of

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 7>having paiy child support. And then he because it was

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 7>such a burden for him, and it made me upset

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 7>because I felt blamed. He's blaming me for having a

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 7>pay child support. But then it went another step further.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 7>He said, you know, I drove past the prison today,

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 7>the organ State Prison. I just like chewed my horn

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 7>and said I'll be there soon, as we said in

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 7>the call. But I remember crying and going to my

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 7>room and you came after me. You're like, what's wrong, Melissa,

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 7>And I said, you know, Doug said he's going to

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 7>kill himself. And you got so mad, you got so bad,

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 7>you stormed out of my room. You called him back up,

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 7>and you said you you saw have a bitch I

0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 7>heard you'd like. That was the first time I ever

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 7>saw you mad. You're like because I really.

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Felt the whole time he was playing on us. You know,

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 2>I got pit child support, so.

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 7>You I separated in nineteen ninety and then he how

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 7>did you find out in nineteen ninety five? Didn't you

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 7>receive a letter from him?

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I received a letter maybe a week before he got arrested.

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And in this letter it said, Rose, what I did

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 2>is bigger than O. J.

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 6>Simpson.

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 2>He said, I'll probably be in hell forever Keith, and

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you are so full of crap. I mean, like,

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>it's what this is supposed to mean? Right, shredded a

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 2>piece through in the trash directly to you. It was

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>directly to me.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 7>I didn't say anything about us kids.

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 2>It just was like, I did something bigger than oh J.

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 6>Simpson gentle.

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:27.520
