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 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 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 She hadn't been here very long. 51 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.160 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 She came along with her two brothers. 54 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.560 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 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 But on our way she felt. 67 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.560 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 Uncle, I got to help you somehow. 70 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.680 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 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 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 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 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 And you know so, and then. 94 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.720 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 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 I had not met anyone. 103 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.720 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 She said. 107 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.279 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 Later, I had a conversation with her, just one on one. 113 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.839 I told her, and I need you to be honest with me. 114 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.639 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 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 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 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 He was looking at his phone and he told her. 128 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.279 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 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 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 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 Eventually she came home she liked Luke uncle, and I really. 146 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.600 Love him a lad. 147 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.440 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 Like you to be the whitnes. 150 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.919 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 He gave it his perspective and matured persia. 168 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.320 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 Oh my god, prefurrys along with my sun. 201 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.519 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 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 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 You know what we were walking into. 230 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.360 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 At that point, my crew was coming up behind me and. 237 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.480 I stopped them. 238 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.399 I said, back out. 239 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.759 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 I and mascot, their vice paramiedic what we had. 246 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.480 I said, there's nothing we could do. 247 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.600 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 I need crime scene and to this location. 250 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.519 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 Oh gossip and thanks who you got the same. 253 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.960 Amerger? Sure emergency over nursed you. 254 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:52.440 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 Yea was just crudely distaputated. 262 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.799 Back hit it in the bathtub. 263 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.279 I mean it's a redhead. 264 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.880 It's no, it's just dark. No, the one, the one 265 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.000 you got, the one you got detained redheaded more Yeah, 266 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.119 yeah yeah. 267 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.000 The responding deputy thought he knew exactly what this was, 268 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.119 that redhead boy. 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 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 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 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 She was found dead this past Wednesday. 286 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.720 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 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. It's a gruesome scene and both 291 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.920 sides of these families are going to be altered by it, 292 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.599 either way suspect and or the victims. 293 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.039 They were only married in October and now he is. 294 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:56.839 Charged with her murder. 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 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 This this old crazy boy. 302 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.799 Yeah you've been here before. 303 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.119 I haven't been here before. 304 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:36.160 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 He's saying, you think how much. 307 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.799 The person and now he takes it up there. 308 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.720 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 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 They said, your wishs did. 313 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.200 And the mother Lynn. 314 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.920 Hello, ma'am, I'm Dippy Lewis.

And then, 325 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:42.119 unbeknownst to me, one of the brothers got married back 326 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.599 in September, littlego or the jetpoos and they're living in 327 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.880 the shed back behind the house. But when I heard 328 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.400 possible ba at two or sixth o'callo. I thought it 329 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.599 was the brother. 330 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.160 That's sitting up the trim of the carboard. 331 00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.119 I've just figured the ket ode. 332 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.799 I wouldn't. 333 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:05.039 I didn't. I didn't think this other one would be involved. 334 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.000 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 Brandy does remember me, okay. 337 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.319 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 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 I kept telling him, that doesn't tell me anything. I 348 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:54.759 don't know. 349 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.880 I don't have an app to look up store numbers 350 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.400 like you did, because that don't work for an You 351 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.160 have to give me an address so I know where 352 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:01.559 we're going. 353 00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.680 He said, it's Houston. Houston's fairly blog. 354 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.759 That doesn't tell me shit, and he went back there 355 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.799 and his mother was asleep, and he came back, and 356 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.000 that's when I stopped him. A corded and he heard 357 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.720 where we're going. I don't think he was going to 358 00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:18.839 talk to me at all. I don't, I don't. 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 He told me he. 364 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:33.599 Needed his gun, and let did you tell him? 365 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.720 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 And he did this. 369 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.960 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 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. They started asking 377 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.759 her who do we call? Did we take him to 378 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:10.759 the hospital Jersey?
