This episode covers the arrest of Chad Carr for capital murder in 2022, the reactions of Captain Chilson, and the implications for Britney's family.

Captain Chilson describes Chad Carr's arrest, noting that he appeared relieved rather than surprised. Chad begins to change his story about his presence at the crime scene, suggesting he was frequently in and out of the house.

TLDR

Chad Carr's arrest for Britney's murder leads to a grand jury no bill, leaving her family without justice.

00:00:00
So, over 15 years later, it is now 2022. Chad Carr is arrested [music] for capital murder.
00:00:08
While describing that moment to us, Captain Chilson said that Chad didn't even seem surprised, but rather [music]
00:00:14
it felt more like he was he believes maybe relieved. And without anything ever even coming up about DNA, we were
00:00:22
told that Chad was already changing his story about not [clears throat] being inside the house that day. He
00:00:28
preemptively starts indicating to a Texas Ranger that he'd been in and out of there all of the time. So, he was
00:00:34
thinking that they had found something then. Maybe. I don't know. But he's booked into jail, and for the
00:00:41
first [music] time in years, it feels like this case is moving forward. And for Britney's family, it's
00:00:47
overwhelming. It's hope, maybe even the start of healing. But in cases like this, we know that an
00:00:53
arrest isn't the end. It's just like the next step. Especially in Texas, because before a
00:00:59
felony case can go to trial, it has to go through a grand jury. Prosecutors have to lay out what they believe
00:01:05
happened, and why Chad Carr should stand trial for Britney's murder. A decision takes just about the full 90 days that
00:01:13
they're given to decide, and then the grand jury returns >> [music] >> a no bill.
00:01:19
Meaning there will be no trial.
