00:00:00
[Music] Mas son Christian Andre AIO was um hard worker loved life he just always liked
00:00:22
the water he talked about either working offshore um in the Gulf then someone told him about the towboats and that's
00:00:29
when he went that [Music] direction he was on the verge of becoming the youngest towboat captain
00:00:38
and probably had a long career running a boat Up and Down the River love to be the center of attention
00:00:47
in the life of the party whether you were 80 years old or you were 15 years old he was going to flirt with
00:00:56
you always wanting to help somebody out ultimately his good-heartedness is what got him in trouble at the
00:01:05
end he had gone to a party across the lake and I think he met her at the party Willie Goodman was very polite
00:01:16
very I mean cute girl when we first met her she was quiet you know and Christian
00:01:21
liked her so that was good enough for us is there any doubt in your mind that Christian fell in love with your
00:01:28
daughter no no no doubt whatsoever and did she feel the same for him she did and she does to this
00:01:39
day we were out to eat at a restaurant had just sat down my father called and said we had a
00:01:50
tragedy now one where's Emergency Man we've had a suicide you suicide yes ma'am that was toughest toughest news I
00:01:59
ever heard it still hurts today who is it sir Chris Rock but he's L across the the bathroom
00:02:12
tub and he he got blood everywhere did he take his own life no sir absolutely not no he he would never
00:02:21
do that okay who's that in the background that's his girlfriend what's her name litle Goodman do you believe that your
00:02:30
son was murdered oh I 100% believe he's murder Mr andreo was shot the right side of the
00:02:40
head there was very little if any investigation that took place on the scene on the day that it occurred it was
00:02:49
totally bungled because the investigators were called off because they didn't do their
00:02:56
job we had to do their job for them sitting across from me today do you know who killed your son Christian
00:03:07
yes I was so confused whenever I started being blamed I really was we're going to keep on fighting I do
00:03:15
have a small army but they're smart she did not kill him as a prosecutor I have never in my career
00:03:24
seen anything like this case I don't care to change anyone's mind they let somebody get away with murder
00:03:35
[Music] [Music] I can't believe this is happening to our family I think everybody was just kind
00:04:27
of in shock good this is something you know that happens to other people it doesn't happen to
00:04:33
you from their Lakeside home just outside Meridian Mississippi Ray and Todd andreao are haunted by the death of
00:04:42
their 21-year-old son Christian in 2014 a lot of days I look out there and you know expect to see him out there with
00:04:50
the jet ski floating about but you know every day you get caught with memories Christian grew up here on
00:05:00
Delwood shore lake where he fell in love with the water and dreamed of becoming a
00:05:06
towboat captain on the Mississippi River he was on his way to being a really good man and I think he would
00:05:14
have made a good father a good husband it's tough to talk about this yeah I miss him every day
00:05:26
[Music] have either of you honestly been able to have any peace in your life during all
00:05:34
of this since your son's death no no we we've kind of been at War since it started and you're at War now yes sir
00:05:43
this isn't over no it's not by a long shot for now there are two unanswered questions at the heart of this case why
00:05:52
would a young man with so much to live for take his own life or perhaps more importantly did someone take Christian's
00:06:00
life from him your son's death suicide or homicide homicide it's definitely a homicide but Lauderdale County district
00:06:10
attorney Cassie Coleman who took over the case in 2018 says the evidence points in another Direction well at this
00:06:19
point there has been further investigation by multiple agencies that have determined it to be a suicide
00:06:30
at issue are the events of February 26th 2014 I had talked to Christian that morning he was on the boat you know
00:06:39
everything was fine Christian was a few days into what's called a hitch a 30-day
00:06:45
work trip on the Mississippi River where he was a first mate on a towboat Ray called him about getting tickets for a
00:06:52
Rihanna concert and he said well let me check the dates to see he said I got to go I'll call you back later you got off
00:07:00
the phone just hours later they were told that Christian was found dead in his apartment which he shared with his
00:07:08
girlfriend Whitley Goodman and I was like no I don't I don't think so Christian's at work he's not even he's
00:07:17
not even in town a Meridian police detective broke the horrible news to them in person and
00:07:25
he said well this is his driver's license and when we we saw his driver's license it became a little bit more
00:07:32
real but suicide nothing made sense to Ray and Todd he's never had any kind of mental problems any kind of
00:07:43
[Music] depression professionally at the age of 21 Christian's life couldn't have been
00:07:50
better and on the personal side he adored Whitley who had dropped out of high school and wanted to become a hair
00:07:58
and makeup artist they made each other happy he was crazy about her what is it buddy Christy Chatterton is Whitley's
00:08:06
mother she's very funny very creative and adventurous she's a young woman that Christian andrao fell in love with she
00:08:17
is Whitley even moved in with the andreakos but after a few weeks race say Whitley became jealous defacing a
00:08:26
picture of Christian and his ex-girlfriend I figured that she stabbed the faces out
00:08:33
and then she brought the picture to me what' you think Todd I thought she was a nut the andreakos asked Whitley to move
00:08:44
out and so you know his kind of attitude was well if she can't be here then I can't be here Christian and Whitley
00:08:53
moved into this apartment which Christian paid for I felt that she was using him for for money he was providing
00:09:01
her with a place to stay with a car clothes makeup whatever Whitley's Mom saw problems too especially when
00:09:10
Christian was on the towboat she would have to stay on the phone with him at night so he could keep up with where she
00:09:17
was and what she was doing you mean for like an hour after an hour like hours and hours and hours every
00:09:24
night I didn't know how unhealthy the relationship had become but none of this seemed to add up to Suicide for the
00:09:34
andreakos so for him to take his life over somebody he'd been dating for 6 months I don't think so
00:09:42
no on the night of Christian's death Ry needed answers she called her brother Chris Thompson and asked that he drive
00:09:51
over to the Meridian Police Department that's where Christian's friend Dylan Swearingen who made that 911 call what
00:09:59
was your first name Dylan Dylan was being questioned along with Whitley and I told him to be sure that Whitley
00:10:08
didn't have Christian's phone at first Whitley denied having it but eventually turned it over to police
00:10:16
to me that was a big red flag right off the bat so she had lied initially about not knowing where Christian's phone was
00:10:25
right it's very suspicious because why would you do that my personal opinion is that she did
00:10:34
not want that phone to get in the hands of law enforcement because there were a lot of sexually oriented photographs and
00:10:42
messages in that phone the andreakos were stunned to learn the investigation at the scene
00:10:49
lasted only 45 minutes and the job they did in this investigation how would you describe it
00:11:01
piss poor but that same investigation did turn up something that the andreakos hoped would be a GameChanger both Dylan
00:11:12
and Whitley are checked for gunshot residue GSR what do they find gunshot residue on
00:11:21
both their hands both hands and what does that suggest to you they were in a room when the gun was fired
00:11:29
[Music] [Music] nobody wants to think that their child was at a point in their life where they
00:11:49
took their own life I mean that's just human nature but we had someone in the community who had killed himself and
00:11:58
that it really bothered Christian and he several times told me you know Mom if anybody ever says I killed myself you
00:12:05
come looking because I wouldn't do that for Christian's family that horrible night in 2014 started to search for
00:12:12
answers that continues to this day we took the time to to have his funeral and then the very next week we started going
00:12:23
to the police department from the beginning the andreakos had questions about that 911
00:12:29
call placed by Christian's friend Dylan Swearingen around 4:45 p.m. now one where emergency they wonder is this a
00:12:39
genuine call or an elaborate act listen closely who is it sir Chris Rock okay try not to touch anything
00:12:50
okay that's Whitley wailing in the background Whitley Whitley is come down here they don't want you to touch
00:12:58
anything come come on come here Whitley come here it just sounds fake to me he get somebody up here I think he
00:13:10
shot himself he's already put it out there in people's mind that it's a suicide so you know now that's how it's
00:13:17
going to be looked at did your son Dylan shoot Christian absolutely not Pam Swearingen is Dylan's mother on
00:13:29
a very bad day my son lost his best friend Dylan and Whitley declined to grant us an interview but their mothers
00:13:38
agreed to speak for the first time to 48 hours while they wouldn't discuss specifics of the case their adamant
00:13:47
their children did not commit any crime it was just so um shocking and you know what she saw like she can never
00:13:56
unsee it I just want them to know that she did not kill him that night Christy rushed down to
00:14:05
the police station where Whitley had just been questioned I just hugged her and comforted her was she in tears she
00:14:13
was hysterical Christian's death suicide or homicide 100% it's suicide investigators found Christian's
00:14:25
body in the upstairs bathroom leaning face down over a blood-filled tub with that gunshot wound to the right side of
00:14:33
his head 4 months after Christian's death Benny Dubose became meridian's new chief of police and took on the case a
00:14:42
lot of the stuff didn't make sense starting with Christian's gun when the gun was sent to the crime
00:14:49
lab they did not find any Prince on the gun at all Christian's Prince should have been on the gun the gun was clean
00:14:59
WIP down he says the bathroom was surprisingly clean too there should have been some blood splatter uh on this side
00:15:09
and uh on this side there was no blood splatter suggesting what that number one the crime scene had been tampered with
00:15:17
probably most likely the blood splatter had been cleaned Duo says officers bungled the
00:15:24
investigation taking pictures on the crime scene with a dog on cell phone they all issued cameras and the pictures
00:15:30
needless to say were terrible district attorney Cassie Coleman agrees she inherited the case in
00:15:40
2018 would you use the word incompetent yes without a doubt um it lacked competence it lacked thoroughness
00:15:50
Dylan and Whitley were not even photographed there's been a lot of questions about was there any blood on
00:15:56
either one of them the reality is we don't know the timeline that Dylan gives of the
00:16:05
events don't really add up Dylan told police Christian had called him around 2 early that morning urgently asking for a
00:16:15
ride home from St Rose Louisiana apparently Christian had found out Whitley was cheating on him he was
00:16:24
coming home to kick her out of the apartment you believe he was going back to break up with her yes
00:16:30
sir Dylan says he picked up Christian and they drove back to the apartment almost immediately Christian and Whitley
00:16:39
began arguing when Dylan says Christian suddenly took out a gun and put it to his own head according to the report
00:16:48
Christian threatened to shoot himself telling whitly to tell him that she loved him Dylan uh ended up saying that
00:16:57
he took the weapon away from Christian unloaded it and hit it but Whitley told detectives a different story when
00:17:06
Whitley has asked has Christian ever appeared suicidal she says no I don't think so there were inconsistencies
00:17:14
throughout her stories according to police reports Whitley told responders and friends that
00:17:21
she discovered Christian's body but she told a detective at the station that it was Dylan who found him
00:17:29
she claimed to be asleep on the sofa and a 45 caliber handgun is discharged and she slept through it is that believable
00:17:39
no no not at all you know your guns how loud is a 45 that should have been heard
00:17:45
two to three Apartments over and remember gunshot residue was present on both Dylan's and Whitley's
00:17:53
hands while police have not publicly commented about the GSR on Dylan's hands Whitley told investigators she has an
00:18:02
innocent explanation her response was well I'm going to have it on my hands because I was shooting guns the night
00:18:08
before she said she'd been Target practicing with friends a claim one of those friends said was true but another
00:18:16
said was false but the andreakos are questioning everything including something odd Dylan did earlier that
00:18:25
day what have we seen in this picture um Dylan swaron at the credit union who has
00:18:32
an account at that bank Christian these photos were taken at 12:29 p.m. around 4
00:18:40
hours before Dylan called 911 Dylan told investigators that Christian had given him his debit card
00:18:48
with a startling request he says that Christian told him to withdraw all of his money that he was giving him his
00:18:55
money but there was one little problem Dylan didn't have Christian's PIN number so he left
00:19:03
empty-handed is that suspicious to you absolutely he arrives back he said that they um watched a couple of
00:19:14
movies Dylan said Christian had calmed down so he gave him his gun back he says Whitley settled in for a nap Dylan says
00:19:23
he left for another errand and when he returned now I wonder where emergency man we had a suicide knowing what you
00:19:32
know about this case if I asked you was this suicide or homicide where are you leaning neither how do you mean I don't
00:19:41
think that Mr Andre AIO killed himself on purpose and I don't think uh anybody else killed Mr Andre Akio on purpose
00:19:54
debose believes Christian may have once again held his gun to his own head this time upstairs in the bathroom I believe
00:20:04
that quidley may have reached for the gun and the gun discharged I don't think there was a
00:20:09
motive I think it was just an accident the andreakos aren't buying any of it could it have been an
00:20:17
accident I mean anything's possible but uh I I don't believe it at all in this situation everything points to murder
00:20:27
and then they whoever staged it to look like a suicide that night the coroner ruled the
00:20:36
death undetermined after an autopsy a forensic pathologist labeled it a suicide and just like that the Meridian
00:20:45
Police Department closed the case and so then we had to do this start this investigation on our own so they began
00:20:54
hiring their own private investigators eventually forming a small small army of supporters and experts including a
00:21:02
forensic pathologist named Dr Jonathan Arden it is my conclusion that the death of Christian andreao was a
00:21:18
[Music] homicide we've just been really let down by the police and law enforcement we had no idea what to do or
00:21:33
where to start Ray and Todd andrio began their search for Justice by hiring their own
00:21:41
team of investigators including this man I've performed about 3,000 autopsies on
00:21:47
my own former Washington DC medical examiner Dr Jonathan Arden who examined the case File from the beginning my
00:21:56
reaction was something is wrong here starting with where investigators found Christian's handgun it was pressed
00:22:04
between his left thigh and the front of the tub it's significant to me that the gun is in the wrong place on the wrong
00:22:11
side cuz he's right-handed he's right-handed entrance wound in his right Temple how does the gun end up on his
00:22:17
left side once the bullet goes through his brain he's unconscious he can't transfer the gun crime scene photographs
00:22:27
show that the bullet had had struck the wall on the opposite side of the bathroom next to the sink but somehow
00:22:35
the bullet ends up in the bathtub and he's leaning over the bathtub so none of this lines up for him to have shot
00:22:44
himself in the position where he was found it simply makes no sense clearly somebody put him there it's a stage
00:22:52
scene the coroner placed the time of death at 3:45 but Dr Arden believes Christian may
00:22:59
have died earlier he says pictures show Christian's body was in advanced rigor mortise rigor mortis is the stiffening
00:23:07
of the muscles that happens after death the development of well formed rigor mortise tells me that he's been in that
00:23:16
position unmoved undisturbed for at least several hours which if accurate suggests that
00:23:23
Christian may have already been dead when Dylan went to the credit union to empty Christian's bank account so yeah I
00:23:32
believe my son's dead and I believe he's trying to steal his money the evidence LED Dr Arden to reach a dramatic
00:23:40
conclusion somebody else shot and killed him I don't see how you can argue with forensics science doesn't lie people lie
00:23:50
why would someone want your son dead well that's the answers you know that we would like the scene was altered
00:23:58
or staged and usually when you do that you're hiding something the family worked with a team of private
00:24:05
investigators including Sheila Waki to dig further the andreakos have had to fight tooth and nail for the truth the
00:24:14
investigators recorded an interview with Dylan Swearingen a few weeks after Christian died since you are one of the
00:24:22
only three people that were even there that day that he had this to say about his visit to the credit union
00:24:29
that's the only thing I didn't understand like why did he want me to have this money Dylan told them that Whitley and
00:24:35
Christian were always fighting and that Christian didn't trust her even sending Dylan to spy on her I was kind of like
00:24:44
The Babys he always would ask me to check on her see what she's doing and Dylan repeated that he and not Whitley
00:24:52
discovered Christian's body when I opened the door he was hunched over the bathtub
00:24:58
and I knew that I knew he wasn't alive just the way he was just staying there and like didn't add up to
00:25:05
me Whitley's mom Christie says the day Christian died wasn't the first time he allegedly threatened suicide and that
00:25:14
Whitley told her about an incident that happened about 2 months before his death
00:25:19
he had gotten intoxicated and getting angry and hat it and he' put the gun to his
00:25:26
head and he even would put it to her head and he was asking her if she loved him but remember when police asked
00:25:35
Whitley if Christian had ever appeared suicidal she said she didn't think so Ray and Todd don't believe their son
00:25:43
ever held a gun to his head we don't think it happened that does not sound like Christian to you
00:25:49
[Music] no however investigators found a misspelled message on Christian's phone
00:25:56
that was sent to Whitley the night before he died if this doesn't work when I get to my apartment I'm putting my
00:26:03
pistol in my mouth and I'm ending this I'm ending this once and for all because Whitley you're the closest I have ever
00:26:11
been to happiness I don't trust any of the texts because they were in possession of his
00:26:18
phone don't forget Whitley had Christian's phone at the police station Todd and Ray believed the message could
00:26:25
have been planted district attorney C Coleman dismisses that theory the phone was on the tugba with Christian at the
00:26:33
time that those messages were sent and so I do not know of any way that those messages could have been manipulated to
00:26:40
appear that they were coming from the boat if she was a meridians 3 years after Christian's
00:26:47
death Benny Dubose who had taken over as police chief decided it was time to get
00:26:53
fresh eyes to look at the case he assigned Captain J aring gave him the case he worked his butt off
00:27:02
Captain Arrington a 30-year veteran detective of the meridian PD combed through the case File and came up with a
00:27:09
conclusion that Christian's family had long waited to hear it's homicide are you sure of that absolutely and um do
00:27:18
you believe that Christian's body was moved at that scene that somebody moved it after his death I have no doubt
00:27:29
Captain Arrington like Dr Arden concluded that Christian had been dead for several hours before the 911 call
00:27:37
was made allowing time for a cleanup death scene had obviously been altered from its original
00:27:46
state Arrington wrote arrest warrants for Whitley and Dylan the charge manslaughter by culpable negligence
00:27:54
which means unintentionally causing a death while acting with disregard for the person's safety were those warrants
00:28:02
ever served no sir in February 2017 before Cassie Coleman took over her predecessor
00:28:11
decided to hand off the case to the Mississippi State Attorney General's office they wouldn't comment about it
00:28:18
with 48 hours in October 2017 a Mississippi State prosecutor did present the case to a grand jury but but were
00:28:29
you allowed to present your investigative report at the Grand Jury I wasn't allowed to be at the Grand Jury
00:28:35
it's the only one I've ever had done that way in all my years it's the only one without ever hearing from the
00:28:42
detective who calls this case a homicide it's now up to the grand jury whether it
00:28:48
will go to trial do you believe in a court of law you could get a conviction 100% you were a member of the grand jury
00:28:56
correct yes sir and what decision was [Music] [Music] made the woman at the heart of this
00:29:17
Southern mystery Whitley Goodman has never spoken publicly about the case until 48 Hours came to town Whitley
00:29:25
started talking when she agreed to meet our camera crew to get some video shots with her mom two weeks ago it just came
00:29:33
to me like out of nowhere she would not take questions but she did read a poem the title is moist by Whitley Goodman
00:29:43
the verses describe what she says is her tumultuous life after Christian's death
00:29:49
I miss who I was the person I once was allowed to be before the anxiety the pain and the
00:29:55
notoriety before your name was used to in vain as the main source of my pain in Whitley's words she is the victim oh it
00:30:05
has been such a war I guess it's me who we should hate I I'll be everyone's Escape but there has been No Escape for
00:30:14
the andrao family which suffered a devastating defeat in late 2017 when that grand jury returned their decision
00:30:22
to not indict Whitley and Dylan from the jurors that I have spoken with they did
00:30:28
not believe there was sufficient evidence to prove either of these people guilty Beyond A Reasonable Doubt of
00:30:34
either manslaughter or homicide the andreakos were crushed I feel like the Meridian Police Department
00:30:45
the Attorney General's office and everybody involved officially has let us down they let somebody get away with
00:30:53
murder Whitley's mother sees the grand jury's decision as just she loved him dearly the greatest tragedy for her is
00:31:01
still losing him and finding him the way she did that day but the andreakos were
00:31:07
determined to keep their son's case alive so they took to social media starting their Justice for Christian
00:31:14
Facebook page and in June 2019 a podcast culpable started covering the case his death was
00:31:24
ruled a suicide the actions of Whitley Goodman and Dylan Swearingen were now being judged by a national audience the
00:31:32
podcast is exposing all the injustices that have happened during this investigation people from coast to coast
00:31:41
became enraged and they acted on that rage among their targets da Cassie Coleman have you received threats yes
00:31:50
sir I have um received threats towards me towards my family threats of physical violence
00:31:58
take your time there's a lot of tragedy and heartbreak um in everybody's family do
00:32:05
you sleep with a gun by your bedside yes sir it's that serious yes sir in August 2020 the controversy grew
00:32:14
even more intense right before 48 Hours travel to Mississippi to cover this story Captain J arrington's
00:32:22
investigative report from 2017 was made public for the first time I realized that this was things we
00:32:32
had never heard Arrington writes it's my thoughts it could be suicide homicide or
00:32:37
accidental with one of the three to be proved with facts until that is established that death should be
00:32:42
classified as a homicide that's a heck of a sentence when you read that what did you
00:32:50
think I shocked we spoke to Cassie Coleman just days after the report was released m Mr
00:32:58
arrington's findings this report was it presented to the grand jury yes I have had conversations with grand jurors that
00:33:06
were on the grand jury and I've had conversations with the investigators that were there presenting the facts and
00:33:13
they tell me that all of the reports from the Meridian Police Department were presented but while we were reporting in
00:33:20
Mississippi we found a grand juror who said that's not true you were a member of the grand jury that was looking into
00:33:28
the Christian andrao Case correct yes sir the grand juror agreed to speak if we agreed not to use her name or show
00:33:37
her face I'm holding a report here that is dated January 11th 2017 and it was written by a Captain J
00:33:47
Arrington at the time had you heard this man's name before no sir I read her all
00:33:53
the major findings of Captain arrington's report none of which the juror said she knew does that bother you
00:34:02
does is that something that you find in any way disturbing yes it's very disturbing because it seems that he had
00:34:11
a lot more information detailed in his report than what we were presented I think it's a
00:34:20
travesty I think my son deserves more than that now with the release of arrington's EXP explosive report the
00:34:29
andreakos were finally beginning to think maybe they might have one last chance at Justice for Christian I think
00:34:37
we need feds or somebody to come in here and and clear this up I don't trust anybody over Meridian I don't trust that
00:34:45
da we got right now I wouldn't want her anywhere near my son's case [Music] [Music]
00:35:04
in November 2020 like they do every year the andreao family and their friends celebrated Christian Life Today is
00:35:13
Christian's birthday on November 4th and this is our seventh night to have wishing night heartfelt messages are
00:35:21
written on these lanterns and sent floating toward the heavens wish night is kind of a way of just
00:35:31
letting Christian know we haven't forgotten [Music] him this peaceful evening stands in
00:35:39
contrast to the war of words and deeds in this emotional case fueled by social media that includes acts of Cruelty all
00:35:49
of Christian's autopsy photos were replaced on social media and I think downloaded over 2,000 times they
00:35:56
harassed my daughter I still believe someone set her car on fire we've been run off the road you're kidding
00:36:03
absolutely not I bought a new car and within 3 weeks it had bullet holes in it in our interview with district
00:36:12
attorney Coleman she said she would reconvene a grand jury if it turned out that Captain arrington's report had not
00:36:19
been presented I have said repeatedly and standby if that information was not presented then yes yes that is a
00:36:28
situation that would open the door to allow the case to be represented to the grand jury 3 months later hey Cassie
00:36:36
it's Peter vanent with 48 Hours how are you I told Coleman that 48 Hours learned
00:36:41
from that grand juror that she was not informed of Captain arrington's 2017 report a fact that may have changed her
00:36:49
opinion on this case I think they should have done more investigating and brought it back to a
00:36:56
grand jury again with more evidence especially that report to present it to another jury to decide if that it would
00:37:04
be indicted or not Coleman confirmed that arrington's report was not presented to the grand jury and said she
00:37:11
is willing to reconvene a new grand jury she acknowledges the andreao family doesn't trust her to present the case a
00:37:20
request for the appointment of a new prosecutor is pending in court we're 100% confident that if the information
00:37:27
is presented fairly that um people will be indicted and then of course from there um there'll be a
00:37:36
trial complicating matters further nearly 3 years after he finished his report Captain Arrington was indicted in
00:37:44
federal court accused of using City funds for his personal use arrington's attorney J Stewart Parish the
00:37:53
allegations are false they arise apparently from somebody either intentionally or maliciously misleading
00:38:03
other folks caught in the middle of all this are Dylan saringan and Whitley Goodman's
00:38:12
families is there anything that you would like to say to the andrao family that we loved
00:38:19
Christian we gr for him too and we grieve for him Whitley Goodman's attorney Bradley
00:38:26
Clanton filed a $47 million lawsuit against the andreao family the podcast culpable and others for defamation and
00:38:36
emotional distress you can't torture people for the rest of their lives because they got accused of a crime the
00:38:44
civil suit also seeks an injunction to shut down the justice for Christian Facebook page and end their public
00:38:53
accusations you've had four to five law enforcement agencies all the way up to the Mississippi attorney general look at
00:39:00
this and everyone has reached the same conclusion that it's a suicide I was so confused whenever I
00:39:09
started being blamed I really was you know if they were so weak minded that um that they took pride and you know
00:39:17
hurting me without even asking me or confirming you know what the truth is that I don't want anything to do with
00:39:25
them there's only only one life destroyed actually destroyed and that's my son he's not here
00:39:33
anymore today Christian would have been [Music] 28 so the case goes on I think that they wake up every
00:39:46
morning and they have a choice of what they're going to do with their day you know they get to go out and live and
00:39:51
love and travel and get married if they want to and have kids and um you know Christian that's Tak that's a choice
00:40:01
taken away from him doesn't he deserve justice don't we deserve answers [Music] 48 hours to miss it would be a crime
00:40:33
were you at all prepared for what happened in this case [Music] n [Music]
