1:35
00:00:00
Within about a week [music] after Britney's murder, her family and friends gather for her funeral.
00:00:06
And if you've ever been to a small town funeral, you know how they feel. The whole place shows up. People you haven't
00:00:13
seen in years, people you barely know, people whispering [music] about who may have done it.
00:00:18
>> And probably people you don't even want to be there. >> Uh-huh. And although detectives seem to
00:00:22
be moving farther and farther from Jeff [music] the more they dissect his alibi,
00:00:28
Britney's family makes it clear. [music] Jeff and his family are not welcome. Emotions are high. Nobody knows what
00:00:36
happened yet. All the trust is thin [music] for good reason. But them showing up anyway isn't actually the
00:00:43
only drama that sticks with Britney's sister Hope at the funeral. Because [music] there, somebody else shows up.
00:00:51
Someone she actually might be more concerned about in this moment. [music] And that is their grandfather, James
00:00:59
McGlone. Now, this isn't their grandfather by blood. It's their dad's adopted father.
00:01:04
And Hope told us that at one point, he walks up next to her, like puts his arm around her, and says, "Have you gone to
00:01:13
see the body yet?" And she froze because this wasn't just a grieving grandpa asking an awkward question. See, no
00:01:20
matter how many people are there at the funeral, she knows something that no one
00:01:26
else does yet. A secret that Britney had been keeping that was big enough to be motive for murder.
