00:00:00
And as they're uncovering all this and filing this, I mean, they found out other things as well, like the police
00:00:07
were basically waging psychological warfare on this kid. So, remember how I told you that um in the like first month
00:00:15
of the investigation, you know, the newspaper showing up every day? It's like, we've got our guy, we're honing
00:00:19
in. Turns out that was not real. The Fort Collins police was making a fake front page of the newspaper, just
00:00:29
one, putting it on the newspaper and delivering that newspaper to Tim's house. Literal fake news on his
00:00:35
doorstep. Mhm. And their whole theory about Mattress, right, is Tim's like so upset about his mother's death that it
00:00:42
caused all of this. So clearly they like know that he would be upset. They had like his mother's obituary reprinted
00:00:51
like over and over. They would cut it out, put it in envelopes, and then like leave those envelopes around for Tim to
00:00:57
find. And then when that didn't work in like the very like first early days or whatever, come the one-year anniversary
00:01:04
of Peggy's murder, they concocted this scheme. Some might call it an operation, I say no. It's a scheme. And a lot of
00:01:13
the paper trail of this has been lost along the way. Like so much in this case. But what is left behind is just
00:01:23
it's bizarre. So Fort Collins authorities basically reached out to the FBI around the one-year anniversary and
00:01:30
was like, "Hey, we feel like we have this guy. We can't prove that he's violent, but we feel like if we put him
00:01:36
in the right situation, we can push him to be and other people will see what we see.
00:01:42
But we're afraid that if we push him too far, like like he might kill someone again. So, we need you watching him, but
00:01:52
if it goes too far, you have to pretend like this didn't happen. We didn't do this. You didn't do this. Like, we all
00:01:59
had nothing to do with whatever it is he does. And the FBI is like, "Got it." And
00:02:04
they're like, "Yeah, but also if he does nothing and we look dumb, can't have that happen." Yeah. Like, pretend it
00:02:10
didn't happen. and they're like, "Got it." And obviously nothing happened. But it just shows you like the mind games
00:02:17
they were playing with this at the time kid child. Yes. So this request for a new trial gets filed. The DNA stuff gets
00:02:26
sent off and even now Tim is still not optimistic. Like everything that can go wrong for him has. Why would this be any
00:02:37
different? Even when everyone around him is telling him they think it will
