This is Season thirteen, episode three hundred and 27 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,960 thirty I Don't Know something of Sword and Scale show 28 00:02:10,000 --> 00:03:02,280 that reveals that the worst monsters are real. Every family 29 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:06,199 has a story that they don't expect to tell. In 30 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,599 Waller County, Texas, two families were bound together by a relationship, 31 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:16,120 a marriage, and a moment of unimaginable violence. 32 00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 6: On the eleventh Yesterday, approximately four to eighteen pm, we 33 00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,800 received a call through dispatch there's a possible deceased person 34 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,520 twenty one year old female inside a residence located behind 35 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,439 two six Ocllo. Upon arrival, they did find a deceased 36 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:41,319 person inside the house. It was a portion of a 37 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:50,719 body dismembered and a residence that was covered in blood, 38 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,560 and so a gruesome scene at best. Further investigation led 39 00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:03,280 to the family being detained in the suspect placed into 40 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,520 custody for what we're assuming is going to be a 41 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:07,240 murder charge. 42 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,639 Speaker 1: In the end, on the flat coastal plains of southeast Texas, 43 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,000 something unthinkable happened. It was January twelfth, twenty twenty three. 44 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,920 The Sheriff of Waller County stepped up to the microphones. 45 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,720 He told the press what he could. By then, most 46 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,720 of the facts were known, what happened, who was involved, where, 47 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,120 when and how. The only question left was why. That 48 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,360 would take some time. Days later, investigators sat down with 49 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:44,480 someone who knew her best, her uncle, Irvin Oreeyana. 50 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,439 Speaker 2: She hadn't been here very long. 51 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: Correct can tell you about how she got here? She 52 00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:54,959 was for Indie, did you really know here? 53 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,079 Speaker 7: She came along with her two brothers. 54 00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: O Angie Diaz came to the United States when she 55 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,959 was just seventeen. She crossed the border with her two brothers. 56 00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:13,160 They were undocumented, but hopeful and determined. Like so many 57 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,160 before her, she was chasing something simple, a better life. 58 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,759 She landed in Waller County, just northwest of Houston and 59 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,680 moved in with her uncle. It wasn't glamorous, but it 60 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,720 was safe, it was clean, and for Angie it was 61 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,639 a start. 62 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 7: She was always uncle teaching me how to ride the 63 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,120 room or outdo it for you, And she was always 64 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,639 she always had that initiately of doing something for their 65 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,759 help because she felt grateful that she was living with us. 66 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: But on our way she felt. 67 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 8: Like I can't, I can't put my so much weight 68 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,560 on your shoulder. 69 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,439 Speaker 3: Uncle, I got to help you somehow. 70 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Angie carried her weight, helping her uncle and contributing in 71 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,120 any way she could. They were fans, but she didn't 72 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120 want to be a burden. Her uncle didn't put any 73 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,560 pressure on her about finding a job or contributing financially. 74 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,519 She was still young, but one eventuality worried him, and I. 75 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:18,519 Speaker 9: Even talked with her one day, if I know, eventually 76 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,240 you're going to meet someone, and when that time comes, there. 77 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,199 Speaker 3: Will be some set of rules at home for you 78 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:26,759 to follow. 79 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: Of course, Angie accepted her uncle's rules. She settled in, 80 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,639 started to learn English, and found a job at the 81 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:39,920 local Hispanic meat market called Chepez. Chepe is Spanish slang 82 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,959 for Jose. It's like calling a place Joe's for those 83 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,160 monolingual people out there. And it wasn't long before she 84 00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,160 proved her uncle right and met someone. She followed the 85 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,519 rules and told her an uncle she was just starting 86 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,920 to get to know them. The relationship would build and 87 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,560 the family would finally meet him. But not long after 88 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,399 that she broke it off. 89 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 8: I broke up with Jose to us he was very 90 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,199 surprisingly useful. Before we went to a vacation, she had 91 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800 even bet a wedding dress because they were thinking of 92 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:17,560 getting married. 93 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: And you know so, and then. 94 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 8: We came from vacation and all of a sudden she 95 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,319 broke up with her. Said to us, was like, so 96 00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:26,319 very surprised. 97 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:30,319 Speaker 1: I think Angie was young, but she was clear about 98 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,879 what she wanted. She said, there wasn't another guy. What 99 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,120 bothered her was Jose's indecision and his reliance on his mother. 100 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,399 He was a bit of a mama's boy. Angie wanted 101 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:45,000 something more. 102 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: I had not met anyone. 103 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 8: It's just that I don't think things are going to 104 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,639 work out. I need a real man in life. In 105 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,680 my life, I can keep wasting my time with the kid. 106 00:07:58,079 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: She said. 107 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,279 Speaker 1: And she had large aspirations in life and had the 108 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:06,720 work ethic to achieve them. The last thing she wanted 109 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,439 to do was waste it with a mama's boy. She 110 00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:15,879 needed a man instead with similar life goals. Her uncle, 111 00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:19,360 though suspected that maybe she'd already met him. 112 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 8: Later, I had a conversation with her, just one on one. 113 00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:27,839 Speaker 3: I told her, and I need you to be honest with me. 114 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:32,639 Speaker 10: Is there anyone you're getting to know? Anyone you're talking 115 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,639 with and you to know is there someone else in 116 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:43,919 your life, because I'm responsible what happens to you. And 117 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,360 she said, yeah, yeah, I met someone and right now 118 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440 we're not going out, we're. 119 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: Just getting to know each other. And I said, okay, 120 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,360 it's fine, thank you for letting me know. 121 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,759 Speaker 1: That's when Jared Dykis showed up. He was quiet, but 122 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,080 there was something about him put it that way. Here's 123 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,039 how his dad, Rodney remembers the first time Jared met Angie. 124 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,279 Speaker 5: The pickup line that he used to get her to 125 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,240 call it. Apparently he had gone into the store where 126 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:22,919 she was working at and. 127 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: He was looking at his phone and he told her. 128 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,279 Speaker 5: He said, I'm sorry, I don't know what to do 129 00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:26,559 or something to the dead line. 130 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:28,879 Speaker 3: And she's like, what he said, I cannot find your 131 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,440 number in here? May she gave him this. 132 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:36,039 Speaker 5: Number and next when they started dating. What kind of 133 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,799 relationship that they have? That's you know, I thought that 134 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,799 it was a pretty cool relationship because every time you 135 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,360 heard them too, they were laughing. In her life, it 136 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,639 was just something it's just pretty cool, pretty cool laugh. 137 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: Jared wasn't anything like Jose. He had a career as 138 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960 an electrician, and more importantly, he didn't have to ask 139 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,519 his mom for mission every time he did something. He 140 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,039 was also white with bright red hair, which earned him 141 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,879 the nickname Rojo around Chepez meat market. In case you 142 00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:16,559 didn't know, Rojo is Spanish for red. They talked constantly, 143 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:21,200 video calls, voice messages, that sort of thing. They were 144 00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:22,480 falling in love. 145 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 9: Eventually she came home she liked Luke uncle, and I really. 146 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: Love him a lad. 147 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 10: And he loves me a lot, and that we have 148 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,159 decided to get married, and I would. 149 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:37,279 Speaker 3: Like you to be the whitnes. 150 00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,919 Speaker 1: He thought to himself, what can I do, I'm just 151 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,840 the uncle. If Angie wanted to marry Jared, he wasn't 152 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,639 going to stand in her way. By this time, she 153 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,559 was twenty one years old, a grown woman who could 154 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,679 make her own decisions. She could do whatever she wanted, 155 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:58,960 whether or without his approval. But even before the family 156 00:10:59,039 --> 00:11:03,320 could meet Jared, she tied the knot. She texted her 157 00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:05,799 uncle a picture of her and her new husband. On 158 00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:10,240 the steps of the courthouse, Jared carried Angie across his 159 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,840 arms as they kissed. Her white dress shimmered in the sunlight. 160 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,240 When Angie's uncle finally met Jared, he was impressed. Jared 161 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,360 was always clean and well dressed. He was polite. He 162 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,440 always shook hands, but he was quiet. He couldn't speak Spanish, 163 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,519 so he was often lost during conversations, but he tried 164 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,360 to be part of the family. During Christmas, he bought 165 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:40,879 Angie's little cousin's nerf guns and played Nintendo with them. 166 00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:43,679 It was all very wholesome. 167 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,039 Speaker 8: He gave it his perspective and matured persia. 168 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: It was a whirlwind relationship. They had been dating for 169 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600 a few months when they got married in the fall 170 00:11:55,639 --> 00:11:59,519 of twenty twenty two, but both Angie and Jared gave 171 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,279 it their af Jared started spending all his money to 172 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,639 convert a small outbuilding on his parents' property into an 173 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:11,879 efficiency apartment for them. Angie started taking beach body training courses, 174 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:15,919 even flying to Florida to attend.

Rodney Dykas found his daughter in law 197 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,639 lying in a pool of blood in Jared's apartment. It 198 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,120 was clear, even to Rodney that only one person could 199 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:37,120 have been responsible. 200 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,919 Speaker 5: Oh my god, prefurrys along with my sun. 201 00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,519 Speaker 7: He has no weather.

She saw 206 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,080 Angie's body too, and just lost it. Her legs gave. 207 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,320 She went down on the ground in the front yard 208 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,879 and couldn't get back up, crying, wailing, waiting for the 209 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:27,720 police to arrive. Her husband, Jared was balled up on 210 00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:31,559 the floor inside his parents' house, also crying. The whole 211 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,679 situation didn't make any sense, but Rodney had felt something 212 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:36,200 was coming. 213 00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:41,039 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I stole him in the US.

The dispatcher was relaying 220 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,039 this information over the radio. The EMTs were out of 221 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,000 the loop. They walked into something they never expected. 222 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,559 Speaker 14: There look to me like a towel on the floor 223 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,480 and pink socks from what I could originally see. As 224 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,639 I began to step up the steps, I could see 225 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,120 underneath the towel there looked like blood. It looked like 226 00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:25,759 there's some blood on the floor as well. Because we 227 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,919 had no information, didn't know what had happened. As she 228 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,600 committed to the side with a shotgun. 229 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: You know what we were walking into. 230 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 14: There's a desk immediately to the right of me. When 231 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,519 I walked in, the door looked like it had a 232 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:41,679 computer on it. And as I looked around the desk, 233 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,000 I could see her feet stepped in further and I 234 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:47,679 could see the rest of the body, and then I 235 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,879 realized there was the patient did not have a head. 236 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,879 Speaker 3: At that point, my crew was coming up behind me and. 237 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: I stopped them. 238 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:55,399 Speaker 3: I said, back out. 239 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,759 Speaker 14: We're in a crime scene. And they said they kind 240 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,600 of looked at me and they realized look on my face. 241 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,240 But even until me later that like we saw the 242 00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:04,320 look in your face, we knew that there was nothing 243 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,279 we were going to do. So they backed out. I 244 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:07,879 backed out. 245 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,919 Speaker 2: I and mascot, their vice paramiedic what we had. 246 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 3: I said, there's nothing we could do. 247 00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: This wasn't a suicide or accidental death. This was a 248 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,519 crime scene and very obviously, so. 249 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 3: I need crime scene and to this location. 250 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,519 Speaker 1: Deputies were already enrouted, still more surprised, as we're waiting 251 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,279 on Oakcallow Boulevard. 252 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,919 Speaker 11: Oh gossip and thanks who you got the same. 253 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: Amerger? Sure emergency over nursed you. 254 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I believe. Deputy assessed the scene. Jared was 255 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,240 already in the back of a patrol car. His mom 256 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,080 Lynn was weeping on the front lawn. His father, Rodney, 257 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,519 paced back and fourth when he wasn't seated on his 258 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,799 writing mower. Other deputies kept them separate. And took all 259 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,119 of their phones. The lead deputy had the big picture, 260 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,839 but the lead paramedic filled in the details. 261 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:15,519 Speaker 15: Yea was just crudely distaputated. 262 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,799 Speaker 13: Back hit it in the bathtub. 263 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,279 Speaker 11: I mean it's a redhead. 264 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 13: It's no, it's just dark.

He'd seen them before, But as the 269 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,240 scene unfolded, something didn't sit right. What they found inside 270 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,119 that small apartment was worse than anyone expected, and the 271 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,960 truth was far stranger than the assumptions that had brought 272 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,640 them there. Whatever happened wasn't just violent, It was something deeper. 273 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:36,519 It was something harder to name. The body of Angie 274 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:39,799 Diaz was found on the floor of a small apartment 275 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,839 she shared with her husband, Jared Dykas, but her head 276 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,519 was found in the bathtub. 277 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:52,279 Speaker 6: And this was taking place in a residence occupied by himself, 278 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,480 the suspect, and the wife the deceased, living behind the 279 00:18:57,519 --> 00:18:58,440 parents' house. 280 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,039 Speaker 16: Turning down to what appears to be a horrific case 281 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440 of domestic violent in Waller County and We do want 282 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,079 to warn you the details in this case are very disturbing. 283 00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 6: Everything happened on the property and all parts and pieces 284 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,079 were recovered and submitted for evidence. 285 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 16: She was found dead this past Wednesday. 286 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 12: Investigators say that our husband, Jared Dykas, had killed her 287 00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:29,039 with a kitchen knife, severing our head from her body. 288 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,839 Speaker 6: It is gruesome. It's a gruesome crime. And the best 289 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,759 you can say is that the world we live in 290 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:40,079 today and it is.

Nearly weds. Jared and Angie had 295 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,400 so much promise. Now Jared was charged with her murder. 296 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,319 But the media calling it a horrific case of domestic 297 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,839 violence didn't really tell the whole story. You see, the 298 00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:13,359 Sheriff's department was familiar with the address. 299 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 6: There has been prior calls disturbance wise, but nothing to 300 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:22,160 this effect and to this level of violence. 301 00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 11: This this old crazy boy. 302 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,799 Speaker 13: Yeah you've been here before. 303 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: I haven't been here before. 304 00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah I was were was old redhead who have been 305 00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:37,599 down to care right here with his mob. 306 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,279 Speaker 6: He's saying, you think how much. 307 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,799 Speaker 3: The person and now he takes it up there. 308 00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: When they got there, they assumed it would be more 309 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:50,880 of the same, but his deputies talked with the father, Rodney. 310 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 13: John's that on information you wouldn't have to know Miss 311 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Angie's maiden name. 312 00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 11: They said, your wishs did. 313 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: And the mother Lynn. 314 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 13: Hello, ma'am, I'm Dippy Lewis.

I didn't think this other one would be involved. 334 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: Between Jared and his brother Wayne, Jared was the good 335 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,920 son Jared. 336 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,799 Speaker 13: Brandy does remember me, okay. 337 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,319 Speaker 1: Wayne was the one who had previous run ins with 338 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,079 the law. Even the deputy was surprised to find Jared 339 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,319 in the back of the patrol car, but interviews with 340 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,839 the parents which shed light on Jared's recent behavior. He'd 341 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,319 been acting unusual for some time, but the day of 342 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,599 the murder all the parents' worries would come to a head. 343 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 5: I think it was around noon when Jared came in 344 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,319 and told me that we needed to go to like, yeah, 345 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480 we needed to go to a Houston story and gave 346 00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:51,440 it a store number. 347 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 3: I kept telling him, that doesn't tell me anything.

I 359 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:20,720 don't get the impression that he was there to talk 360 00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:22,279 to me. I got the impression he was there to 361 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:26,079 talk to his mother. And then I asked him what 362 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,880 is he need? 363 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 16: He told me he. 364 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,599 Speaker 3: Needed his gun, and let did you tell him? 365 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 5: Told him, you're not getting that gun back right now 366 00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:39,200 while you're like this, I said, what do you need 367 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,759 your gun for? 368 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,079 Speaker 3: And he did this. 369 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: Already suspicious of his behavior. There was no way Rodney 370 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,279 was going to give Jared his gun. When he asked 371 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,960 him what he needed it for, he pantomimed putting the 372 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,960 gun up to his own head, but then quickly he 373 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:57,240 tried to play it off like he was just scratching 374 00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:57,599 an itch. 375 00:23:58,759 --> 00:24:02,519 Speaker 3: Odd, for sure, I just needed and I said, that's 376 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:05,319 ship And I went to his mother.

The night before, his father noticed some odd 461 00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:21,640 things that was. 462 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 5: In deming quiet. He's quiet, he's been. I don't know 463 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:33,799 what the words are, but I think the word of lethargic. 464 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,759 He just detached away. He was happy because he was 465 00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:43,599 going to work and it was he seemed he was 466 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,839 really happy that he was laid off from November. It 467 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,000 was because they're slow during that time of year. It 468 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,880 happens every year. 469 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: He doesn't like that. 470 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 5: But he was laid after in November December, and this 471 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,960 was his first job back. No, I'm sorry. This was 472 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,200 his third job back. He did have two other jobs 473 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,400 part of it. But he was happy that he. 474 00:29:07,519 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: Was going to work. But other than that, he was 475 00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:12,359 just distant and we didn't talk. 476 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,839 Speaker 1: When Jared wasn't laid off. He was an electrician and 477 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,319 the company he worked for had a contract with home Depot. 478 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640 The night before the murder, he was supposed to work 479 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,599 at two different store locations. At the first one, Rodney 480 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,119 noticed Jared was just off, so. 481 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 5: I started the demo and then he came over. He said, 482 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,759 I'm sorry, pops, here on the wrong nile. You need 483 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:38,799 to put these back up. 484 00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:40,839 Speaker 4: My gosh. 485 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,759 Speaker 3: So I put him all back up, and he. 486 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,799 Speaker 5: Said, make it look like we weren't on this aisle, 487 00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:50,480 you know, kind of to say that, you know, we 488 00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:51,279 didn't mess up. 489 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: I got him all back up. 490 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 5: And as soon as I got him back up because 491 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,319 I instead, I'm sorry, dad, he says it is the 492 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,400 right need to go ahead. And that was a little 493 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,359 strange because they've been doing this so long. 494 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 3: They don't him and my older son, they don't. They 495 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,759 don't usually start on the wrong spy, you know. 496 00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: Other than that oddity, the rest of the job went fine. Afterwards, 497 00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:24,119 they headed to the second location. The store was closed 498 00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:26,000 by then, and the manager had to meet them at 499 00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:29,119 the door to let them in. That's when Rodney learned 500 00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:32,440 that Jared had gone to the two locations out of order, 501 00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:36,079 another uncharacteristic mistake by Jared. 502 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 3: So when we got there, she said, oh, hold loo, 503 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,440 they're not going in. You've got to tell me what 504 00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:43,119 you're here for. 505 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,279 Speaker 5: And of course those managers, they know what's happening in 506 00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,720 their store, they know what ailes people are supposed to 507 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:50,839 be on they know what they're supposed to be doing. 508 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,640 And she was asking him that and I don't have 509 00:30:53,759 --> 00:30:56,480 that information, so I don't say anything. 510 00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: And she asked him for an I don't remember the 511 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,200 words that. 512 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:07,359 Speaker 5: She uses his ID code or job order code or something, 513 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:14,200 and he said, I love you father, Yes, what? And 514 00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:16,279 I looked at him and it's like, I can't believe 515 00:31:16,279 --> 00:31:18,039 he just said that. And he looked at her and 516 00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:19,559 he said, I love you father. 517 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,319 Speaker 3: So he wasn't looking at you. He was looking he 518 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,839 was not looking at me. He was answering her question. 519 00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:29,319 Speaker 5: And it kind of told me back a little bit. 520 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,359 I said, Jared, she needs your job number. He's on 521 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,079 your phone. So he started working on his phone and 522 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,880 it looked like he was just desponded and distracted. 523 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: Eventually, Jared found the work order. He and his dad 524 00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:49,599 got the job done. He read the blueprints, followed the instructions, 525 00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:53,880 and everything went the way it should. But something still 526 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,279 felt off. Jared wasn't acting like himself. Then on the 527 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,000 drive home, his dad noticed and did he ever. 528 00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 5: Make it all the way home he make any remarks. 529 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,839 Speaker 3: When we were just leaving the store, we were getting 530 00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:12,279 onto two ninety. What did he tell me? He said, 531 00:32:12,319 --> 00:32:13,480 I'll never give up again. 532 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,839 Speaker 5: And I said, you're not supposed to give up, You're 533 00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:22,279 supposed to keep going forward. So whatever was bothering him 534 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,160 over the last few days, or whatever was going through 535 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,319 his mind over the last few days, a few days, 536 00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:29,960 I think I thought at the time that him going 537 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,400 to work made him realize that, you know, you don't 538 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,440 need to give up, you just need to you know. 539 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 3: And of course they. 540 00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 5: Were you just need to keep going forward. And I 541 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,960 felt really relieved that he said that. 542 00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: Rodney took Jared's comment as a good sign that he 543 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,839 was getting over whatever it was that was bothering him. 544 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,720 Both Rodney and Lynn had noticed the change in their 545 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,960 son of the last few months. And it all started 546 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,079 with the death of his best friend. 547 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,079 Speaker 3: This way ye tell me first, and his brother. His 548 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,599 brother lost his job. 549 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 12: And then he got a date why in November, so. 550 00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 3: Only he can't drive with his job. 551 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,799 Speaker 12: It started when he I think when he denied that 552 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,240 he got to. 553 00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:23,079 Speaker 3: D W I he was crying in a way when 554 00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:31,119 a freight yard about it and you're coming upshadow that. 555 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: In May of twenty twenty two, Jared's best friend died suddenly. 556 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,680 It shook him. Not long after, he met Angie, and 557 00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:45,200 by September they were married, But whatever stability that brought 558 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:48,559 didn't last very long. He was laid off from work, 559 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440 tried to start a business, but couldn't get it off 560 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,640 the ground. The failure seemed to wear him down. Then 561 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,680 came the d w I in November, and with it 562 00:33:58,759 --> 00:34:02,279 the loss of his life since. But it wasn't until 563 00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:05,160 the final week, the week leading up to Angie's death, 564 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,880 that his parents started to fear something was truly wrong 565 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:10,599 and everything. 566 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,519 Speaker 3: See them at the time. 567 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 5: No, nothing seemed wrong with seriousness since the start the 568 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:22,800 fourteen Yes, but it seemed like he wasn't as bad 569 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,880 as he was before. Okay, so no, he's not been 570 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,199 himself for a few days.

It wasn't 576 00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:55,880 like Jared like parents do. They started asking him what 577 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,360 was wrong. 578 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 3: He kept saying that he was on math. 579 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 5: And then you would start girling him about it, and 580 00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:03,840 then he would say it. 581 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,079 Speaker 3: I just told you that. 582 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 12: When Jared turned acting strange, like, I'm keep asking you know, 583 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,039 what's wrong with you?

He was 605 00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:14,440 acting like he was on drugs, but people on drugs 606 00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:17,320 can still tell you what they were doing. They were 607 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,280 convinced he was having some sort of mental episode. 608 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 12: And my husband did tell me that there was something 609 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,599 that happened because jarieds something's been going on so. 610 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 3: Mentally mentally. 611 00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 12: And this is did I'm gonna say about a week, 612 00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:38,679 when are you doing drugs? 613 00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 3: When we will say when I know?

But then 637 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,360 he changed his mind, and then he changed it back 638 00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:10,599 even more bizarre. After he called nine one one, he 639 00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:11,440 called again. 640 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 19: Well, I do on one. 641 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:13,519 Speaker 4: What's your emergency? 642 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 2: Yes, this is Jared, mister Jared.

Regardless, 659 00:38:55,079 --> 00:38:58,440 the ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital. They 660 00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:02,800 ran various tests, including different types of drug tests. Then 661 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,559 they said he was perfectly healthy. 662 00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 5: So and everybody believed that he was on drugs, because 663 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,639 that's what he called I one for and he told 664 00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:13,119 him just like I. 665 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 3: Think now I'm doing that. 666 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 5: So of course they hear, you're analysis to come whole 667 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,000 regional contexts Monday morning, Sunday night, Monday morning, and then 668 00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:26,880 they released it even after I told him he's hearing voices, 669 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,440 he's thinking that people are going to hurt the reason 670 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,199 he can't stay in his. 671 00:39:33,159 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 3: Hospital is ever going to kill him, and things like that. 672 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 5: And the doctor questioned him about this stuff, and he 673 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,320 told the doctor. 674 00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I told the doctor, pholease, don't sit it 675 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,039 at all, let's sit it somewhere. And instead they referred 676 00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:48,079 to a psychiatrist. 677 00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:53,159 Speaker 12: So I don't know, but he's actually gad some drugs. 678 00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: We didn't even get to resolve his. 679 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 3: But test finger now ispecial. When I was at the hospital, 680 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,800 I don't know. 681 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,039 Speaker 12: I can't say that. 682 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,639 Speaker 1: Jared's parents didn't know what to do. He wasn't violent, 683 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:16,000 he wasn't angry, but something was wrong, something they couldn't 684 00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:19,639 quite put their finger on. They hoped the hospital would 685 00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:23,719 figure it out. With all those fancy doctors and expensive 686 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,760 equipment and whatnot. They hoped that someone, anyone would see 687 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:34,199 what they were seeing. But that's not what happened. That's 688 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:38,480 not the state of our medical system. So you know 689 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,800 what they did. They just send them home, as they 690 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,079 usually do. He was released the next morning with a 691 00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:50,719 clean bill of health. Days later, Angie was dead. 692 00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 11: I had him in the hospital to day account, he 693 00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:58,079 re hearing voices. I told her to excuse him, the 694 00:40:58,199 --> 00:40:59,400 doctor sitting in your story. 695 00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:06,159 Speaker 1: Was it drugs? Was it psychosis? Was it both? Or 696 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:46,760 was it something else? Entirely in the aftermath, the focus shifted. 697 00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,840 The horror of what happened to Angie Diaz was undeniable, 698 00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:56,400 But what no one could explain, what haunted those left behind, 699 00:41:56,679 --> 00:42:00,400 was what drove Jared to do it in the first place. 700 00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:06,119 Speaker 3: You are Jared k okay at all? So I keep 701 00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:09,920 calling you Jared, and you don't know. I used to know, okay, 702 00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:11,119 And it was like somebody. 703 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:17,119 Speaker 1: Even Jared didn't even recognize himself. It was like someone 704 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,440 came in here, he said, pointing to his own head. 705 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 12: So it's my understanding. 706 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,119 Speaker 3: You were just in the hospital, is that right? 707 00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 2: Yes? 708 00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:28,159 Speaker 3: After that, after it's. 709 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: Weird, Jared said, he went to the hospital after doing 710 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,639 a substance. 711 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,079 Speaker 2: That's okay. 712 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 12: Is there something you used a lot or in natal 713 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,039 or okay. 714 00:42:46,559 --> 00:42:47,679 Speaker 4: Until recently. 715 00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,519 Speaker 12: When the last time that he used then what. 716 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 3: Oh I did it? I did it to chew each 717 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,519 other for like to the uppertually okay. 718 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,559 Speaker 12: And then when you just went to the hospital, what 719 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,800 too need to go e say it was for the substance. 720 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 3: And after that, wouldn't it? 721 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,159 Speaker 15: Have you used again since then? 722 00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:18,199 Speaker 4: Mkay? 723 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 2: Math or something different? Okay, when was the last time 724 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,039 that you used that? 725 00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:23,599 Speaker 5: You remember? 726 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 3: You don't remember when it was. 727 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: Jared mumbled and shook his head to most of the questions, 728 00:43:32,159 --> 00:43:35,079 but when he did actually speak, it still didn't make 729 00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:38,599 any sense. It claimed that he had never touched meth 730 00:43:38,679 --> 00:43:41,800 in his life until that day, but then he said 731 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,400 he'd been doing it for two weeks. The timeline was 732 00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:46,920 a little fuzzy. 733 00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 3: Jared to decide how this goes. 734 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 12: It's not a question I've ever told you that. It's 735 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,320 not a question that you did in the manner in 736 00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,000 which you did it. 737 00:43:59,639 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 3: But will matters is the one. What happened? He said, 738 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,360 live your own drugs? 739 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 12: Okay, But they didn't. 740 00:44:08,639 --> 00:44:11,760 Speaker 3: They didn't tell us what happened in that room, what 741 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,039 was going on? Just drugs me he got. 742 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 15: To stay away from Well, I understand that. So you did it, 743 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,599 and tell us what happened after you did. Drugs just 744 00:44:23,679 --> 00:44:26,039 make you go crazy, It makes you really sign makes 745 00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:28,559 that be able? She said, all right, it's the way 746 00:44:28,679 --> 00:44:31,400 that makes you do this morning last. 747 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 1: Night, Jared was blaming the whole thing on drugs, but 748 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,519 he was reluctant to be specific about what he did 749 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,039 or why. Sometimes he would just stare back at the detectives, 750 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,480 refusing to say a word. He would look as though 751 00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:49,199 he was about to cry, then return to a dazed 752 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,239 and confused state. 753 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 3: I just lost lost my way with God. That's clear. 754 00:44:56,679 --> 00:45:00,760 We're not asking for generalities. We're not asking about your. 755 00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 12: Personal relationship with God. Obviously, it just struggle to struggle 756 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,599 for everybody. 757 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,639 Speaker 3: That's not a question. 758 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:13,039 Speaker 12: Nobody has a perfect relationship with him. So we're going 759 00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:16,159 to ask you one last time what happened, And if 760 00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:18,440 you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. That 761 00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:23,360 your opportunity to have any kind of looking like a 762 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,880 good guy of this is what I did, and. 763 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and I can't believe I did it. That 764 00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:28,440 door is. 765 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,119 Speaker 2: Closing on you. 766 00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:35,360 Speaker 3: I didn't do it. 767 00:45:37,639 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 2: You can't. 768 00:45:38,639 --> 00:45:40,199 Speaker 3: You can't even keep this very very body. 769 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,559 Speaker 1: This dude cracks a joke. It was hard to gauge 770 00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:48,760 where his head was at, almost crying one moment, stoic 771 00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:52,480 the next, then making jokes. 772 00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:54,599 Speaker 19: Crazy. 773 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 2: But there's just both too, So way does she say, 774 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:07,960 to make you mad to do that to her? She 775 00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,719 had to say something to be that mad, to do 776 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:13,440 what you did. 777 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,119 Speaker 3: I don't know some okay, something? Okay, So it did 778 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,519 so it made you do what? So what did it 779 00:46:21,559 --> 00:46:22,000 makes you fun? 780 00:46:22,039 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 2: The screen. 781 00:46:24,679 --> 00:46:24,760 Speaker 3: Did? 782 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 5: It? 783 00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 3: Was? How many? 784 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,079 Speaker 2: He kay? 785 00:46:29,519 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 3: Telling me? What ever? 786 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 2: Did you tell you? 787 00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 3: Is you sh like stop time? 788 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,119 Speaker 19: Whatever? 789 00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 3: You never would do? Stop? Time would stop. 790 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,320 Speaker 1: Jared was speaking in broken sentences. It was hard to 791 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,400 follow his train of thought, but he said that something 792 00:46:47,519 --> 00:46:50,840 took control of him. Something on the screen was telling 793 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,119 him what to do, and it would stop time. He 794 00:46:55,159 --> 00:46:57,519 claimed he wasn't in control of himself. 795 00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:58,599 Speaker 16: It was. 796 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,079 Speaker 3: None of my free will, okay, forced to do what? 797 00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:06,840 Forced to just walk? Forced to go? 798 00:47:08,039 --> 00:47:09,119 Speaker 2: What did it force you to. 799 00:47:09,079 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 3: Do to her? What did it force you to do? 800 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:13,559 Speaker 11: You want? 801 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 3: It forced me to what to kill her? 802 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,119 Speaker 2: So how did you kill it? Tell us how you 803 00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:21,599 killed it? 804 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 5: I don't know because it wasn't It wasn't It wasn't 805 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,880 or it wasn't. 806 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 2: What did you do? 807 00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 3: What did you say? What did I see? 808 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:31,199 Speaker 15: Tell me? 809 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 3: That's all. 810 00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:38,639 Speaker 2: Right, that's what it did do and made you cut 811 00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:39,079 her head on? 812 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,280 Speaker 1: He tried to explain that when he got home, Angie 813 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,119 turned on the TV. That's when he started hearing commands. 814 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,480 Time stood still and the screen was filled with numbers. 815 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,320 A voice told him what to do and if he 816 00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:01,039 didn't listen it would make him hurt. But after getting 817 00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:03,639 all of that off his chest, he started answering questions. 818 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 3: How did the fight. 819 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,639 Speaker 15: Start, how did the knife get introduced? 820 00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:10,079 Speaker 3: How did LC us through that? What happened to if 821 00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:14,760 I had seen her other knife? We were just talking 822 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,000 one way, and then in terms of that that he 823 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,159 didn't need any That's what. 824 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 2: That started with. How did you did tell held her 825 00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:26,519 didn't shoot up and you told me to RAPEO. 826 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 3: He do rap? 827 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 1: It was unclear if he did rape Angie. She was 828 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,920 found fully clothed with no defensive wounds. There wasn't even 829 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,280 a single side of a violent struggle, which is disturbing 830 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,840 in and of itself. 831 00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:49,119 Speaker 2: Why did you put her head in the back of. 832 00:48:50,679 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: Being told. 833 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,199 Speaker 2: Her hair was wet? 834 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 3: How come did you turn the shower on? 835 00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:03,679 Speaker 2: Yes to wash yourself or to wash your hair? 836 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,159 Speaker 5: Or what. 837 00:49:06,119 --> 00:49:08,159 Speaker 3: Did you have plans on hurting your mom or your dad? 838 00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:09,079 Speaker 7: When do you know where they have? 839 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,039 Speaker 3: There are no versions that told you to have them 840 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,760 then voice, shoot yourself. 841 00:49:21,039 --> 00:49:25,039 Speaker 1: Jared's explanation did little to actually tell us why he 842 00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:29,079 did what he did. He contradicted his own account. He 843 00:49:29,119 --> 00:49:32,400 said drugs were involved, but he was also hearing voices. 844 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,280 The only thing we know was true is that he 845 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,039 cut her head off and put it in the bathtub 846 00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:42,679 to wash her hair, and she didn't fight back because 847 00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:47,440 he probably took her by surprise. But after talking to 848 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,360 Angie's family, friends and co workers, the police had a theory. 849 00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 3: Do you know why he did? Do you know anything 850 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,880 right now? Or shod the theory? When I told you 851 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,800 about theory? They could wronged sat down. 852 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,360 Speaker 12: But from what we're gathering, it was possibly a combination 853 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,239 of him being on drugs and his jealousy. 854 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,800 Speaker 1: Friends of Angie set her normally upbeat attitude changed shortly 855 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,679 after she got married to Jared. When asked, she said 856 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:25,639 he had changed. She was clearly having second thoughts. But 857 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,400 this theory all hinged on drug use, and to be fair, 858 00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:33,880 Jared was high as a kite during his interrogation and 859 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,119 his intake photos his pupils are the size of saucers. 860 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,480 But that's where it gets weird. When the police checked 861 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,800 his toxicology report from the hospital stay two days before 862 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,400 the crime, when he called nine to one one claiming 863 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:52,320 METTHEUS it was completely clean. There were no drugs in 864 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,840 a system whatsoever. If he did drugs the night before, 865 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,760 it would have shown up. While the drug tests the 866 00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:03,840 least conducted after his arrest showed drugs in his system, 867 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,840 it wasn't meth, it was cocaine. He didn't even know 868 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:08,760 the difference. 869 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:09,119 Speaker 3: I guess. 870 00:51:09,559 --> 00:51:12,559 Speaker 1: And it wasn't a lot. Not enough to cause psychosis, 871 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,920 that's for sure. So maybe the drugs didn't cause what happened. 872 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,960 Maybe it just unleashed what was already in his brain. 873 00:51:23,199 --> 00:51:27,519 So an alternative theory is that Jared was unraveling mentally 874 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,679 long before he ever tried drugs. He lost his best friend, 875 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:37,960 the layoff, the failed side hustle, the DWI. It all compounded, 876 00:51:38,599 --> 00:51:41,079 weighing on him at a time when he just wanted 877 00:51:41,079 --> 00:51:43,800 to be able to provide for his new wife and 878 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,559 seemed to be failing at it. Meanwhile, she was living 879 00:51:47,639 --> 00:51:51,599 the dream. She had a job, she had friends, and 880 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,079 was pursuing her goal of being a fitness trainer. She 881 00:51:55,199 --> 00:51:59,840 was succeeding while Jared was failing. Maybe there was some 882 00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:04,360 jealousy involved. Maybe he was jealous of Angie, but that 883 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,400 didn't matter. Jared pleaded guilty. There would be no trial, 884 00:52:08,679 --> 00:52:12,159 There would be no courtroom drama, no chance to explain 885 00:52:12,199 --> 00:52:16,360 what really happened, and no chance to be evaluated for 886 00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:21,079 mental illness.
