[Music] and that's Ruth one of the most beautiful women to ever Liv she wasn't just beautiful on the
00:00:11
outside she was beautiful on the inside too she was very down to earth very real
00:00:19
fun she loved being a mom and it was the perfect family my wife Ruth my son Jeffrey and my daughter Julia
00:00:30
Jeffrey was a great student he was the valdi dictorian I'm lucky to have a son like him and I'm lucky to have a
00:00:36
daughter like little Miss America and then one day something went horribly wrong1 emergency wife she's the garage
00:00:46
there's everywhere on May 27th 2011 my sister Ruth was found murdered in her garage she was struck with a board
00:00:54
somewhere between 12 and 14 times and then she was stabbed in the neck 16 times I never looked at the pictures I I
00:01:03
couldn't I don't want that memory of my sister the injuries were so excessive we
00:01:08
knew that there was some type of a a rage we felt that it was something that was personal and he hit her in the back
00:01:14
of the head this was an angry killing it was the result of years things it had built up living with a difficult person
00:01:23
Jeff told me that his mother was storing knives in her headboard Ruth had been violent uh
00:01:31
with both of the children I believe my sister was very victimized by her family nobody knows what goes on behind closed
00:01:39
doors and in someone's home the family was not the family that they appeared to be the police asked me who killed my
00:01:46
sister and I said Bernie Pine to have people think that you could do it is this the
00:01:55
most disgusting and debilitating thought that you can have and when they started
00:02:00
pointing at your son that's even more ludicrous Jeffrey could never hurt his mother there's just no
00:02:07
way it's a tragic story you feel like this could be made up but it's not it's real life
