  Okay, all right. I want you to stay on the phone till
• 7:16
  I'll tell you what to do. While he was being transported to jail,
• 7:19
  Michael stopped to talk to reporters, telling them that he loved Stephen as a
• 7:25
  friend. The damage to Stephen's body was extensive and brutal. He hadn't just
• 7:30
  been killed, he had been violently attacked and then mutilated. First, he
• 7:35
  had been shot multiple times with shotgun and handgun, but he'd also been stabbed
• 7:41
  with a knife and had the blade of an axe thrust deep into a stomach.
• 7:46
  Michael had also carved a word into Steven's torso. Initially, investigators refused
• 7:51
  to disclose more details about that mutilation, but it was later revealed to be
• 7:57
  the word joker carved capital letters. Michael had also used a ballpoint pen to
• 8:03
  write more words on Stephen's body. This time they were on the front of
• 8:09
  his stomach and chest. They read I'm effing Psycho. Despite the vicious nature
• 8:13
  of the attack, investigators didn't find any signs of struggle in Stephen's house only
• 8:20
  the large pools of blood found close to where Stephen's body was eventually found.
• 8:24
  The lack of struggle suggested that Stephen had been killed in his sleep and incapacitated
• 8:31
  before he was able to fight back. Law enforcement officials described the crime scene
• 8:35
  as being horrific. Coy Reid, the sheriff, said that it was probably
• 8:39
  one of the worst scenes he'd ever seen in his thirty years of law enforcement.
• 8:45
  Michael was quickly charged with murder and held at the County Detention Center without
• 8:48
  bond. Just like he'd readily admitted to the murder and described his actions in
• 8:54
  grewsome detail during the nine one one call, he was willing to plead guilty
• 8:58
  to the charges against him. After being found guilty of second degree murder with
• 9:03
  aggravating factors, Michael Anderson received a minimum prison sentence of sixteen years and four
• 9:09
  months behind bars. Despite how much information Michael shared about the crime, one
• 9:16
  thing remained unclear to law enforcement. Had Michael really had a bad reaction to
• 9:20
  cough medicine causing him to misbehave violently. A medical examination confirmed that when Michael
• 9:28
  killed Stephen, he had almost twenty musenex pills in his stomach, a cough
• 9:33
  medication that can cause LSD like hallucinations and high doses. Or had he been
• 9:39
  telling the truth on the nine one one call when he said that Stephen had
• 9:43
  been making sexual advances, causing Michael to lash out and attack him. But
• 9:48
  when Michael was asked if he and Stephen had been fighting before the murder,
• 9:52
  he replied no. Michael Anderson had no history of violence. Second degree murder
• 9:58
  became the first crime on his Squeaky Clean record, and more than a decade
• 10:03
  after Stephen's Starr was murdered, the real motive for the crime remains unknown.
