Latest / The conspiracy / Mom Shocked After Learning Teen Sons Are Wanted Killers
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: This is Tiffany, mother of Tyler and Eli Schaffin. Just
- 0:10Speaker 1: hours earlier, her two sons brutally killed a man and
- 0:13Speaker 1: left his body by the side of the road.
- 0:16Speaker 2: I felt I had a shoe wills to make sure
- 0:18Speaker 2: my brother did hear her.
- 0:23Speaker 1: As Tiffany listens in horror, the brothers insist they were
- 0:26Speaker 1: only protecting each other, but the truth is far darker.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Over the next twenty four hours, Tiffany will face the
- 0:38Speaker 1: worst day of her life as she slowly pieces together
- 0:41Speaker 1: the horrifying truth that she's raised two terrifying killers.
- 0:46Speaker 3: And your brother, your brother murdered somebody.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Some people have a fucked up boy looking at things.
- 0:54Speaker 5: But the killer is a killer, is a killer, right.
- 1:03Speaker 1: The Chief and brothers. Sunday begins like any other morning
- 1:06Speaker 1: and their parents remote home near Aztec, New Mexico. They're
- 1:09Speaker 1: sitting in the living room watching gun YouTubers and playing
- 1:12Speaker 1: video games. A young woman is with them. She turns
- 1:15Speaker 1: to the brothers and asks if they would kill for her,
- 1:18Speaker 1: But just then her phone buzzes, and in that moment,
- 1:22Speaker 1: something in her snaps. She stands up, looks at the
- 1:25Speaker 1: brothers and tells them they're going for a ride and
- 1:29Speaker 1: to bring guns. Two hours later, in a quiet trailer park,
- 1:34Speaker 1: residents here four sharp gunshots echo through the area and
- 1:38Speaker 1: they rush to their windows. They see a man lying
- 1:41Speaker 1: motionless in a puddle of blood and a car speeding
- 1:44Speaker 1: away from the scene. Seconds later, nine to one one
- 1:47Speaker 1: calls begin pouring in from terrified witnesses, marking the start
- 1:51Speaker 1: of a multi hour manhunt unlike anything this town has
- 1:55Speaker 1: ever experienced.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Just to shoot out.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Somebody got shot of and I think somebody's either dead
- 2:02Speaker 1: or bleeding across the streets.
- 2:04Speaker 4: He was walking out of the house and they just started
- 2:05Speaker 4: opening fire on him like a white as us.
- 2:09Speaker 7: I'm the neighbor.
- 2:10Speaker 8: I donot want my name used guns trapped.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Less than five minutes ago, he hopped into a white
- 2:17Speaker 2: she looked to be like a Ford estate.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Within minutes, multiple officers rushed to the scene with no
- 2:23Speaker 1: idea what they're up against or if the shooter is
- 2:26Speaker 1: still somewhere nearby. The following footage has never been seen
- 2:30Speaker 1: before until now. Viewer discretion is advised.
- 2:39Speaker 4: You guys can leave, Go ahead and leave.
- 2:48Speaker 9: He's uh, obviously.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Ten to seven.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Officers find the victim lying face down in the grass
- 2:55Speaker 1: while nearby residents begin gathering outside, oblivious to the danger
- 2:59Speaker 1: still in the by, and before officers can secure the scene,
- 3:03Speaker 1: something catches their attention, a white SUV parked just one
- 3:07Speaker 1: hundred yards away, matching the description of the suspects vehicle
- 3:11Speaker 1: if guns drawn, They move in cautiously, fully expecting to
- 3:15Speaker 1: confront the gunmen.
- 3:17Speaker 10: Out of your call, Get out of the car.
- 3:20Speaker 6: Car?
- 3:22Speaker 11: Is there anyone else in your car?
- 3:25Speaker 12: Just your dog?
- 3:25Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 3:26Speaker 9: Okay, just keep walking to me.
- 3:29Speaker 13: Do you have any weapons on you?
- 3:34Speaker 12: Put your hands on top of your head for me.
- 3:35Speaker 9: Please. Here, I just went the dollar story about cigarettes.
- 3:38Speaker 9: I can't suit my body before I turns around. Right there,
- 3:40Speaker 9: and you guys are right there.
- 3:42Speaker 1: The driver appears unarmed and at first glance, seems like
- 3:46Speaker 1: more of a witness than a suspect. Officers clear him,
- 3:49Speaker 1: then move on to search his vehicle, but they find
- 3:52Speaker 1: no guns or anything that connects him to the shooting.
- 3:54Speaker 1: That leaves police with almost nothing to go on, and
- 3:57Speaker 1: they still don't even know the victim's identity. But that's
- 4:00Speaker 1: about to change, because the driver is about to give
- 4:02Speaker 1: officers their first real lead of the day. Yeah, I
- 4:06Speaker 1: pulled being there there was a place you're almost like,
- 4:07Speaker 1: definitely a bigger one.
- 4:09Speaker 9: We got on the highway.
- 4:10Speaker 8: He turned towards the as yet okay highway, pulled my
- 4:13Speaker 8: open air quick no go ahead, okay, just to make sure.
- 4:16Speaker 4: If you have.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Witness and he saw a white Chevy blazer and he's
- 4:20Speaker 3: found on thirty.
- 4:21Speaker 14: Days, he said he saw it turning one really quick
- 4:25Speaker 14: on the background and the turning desk more than likely
- 4:30Speaker 14: probably here.
- 4:32Speaker 1: With the help from witnesses, police now have a clearer
- 4:35Speaker 1: picture of what they're looking for, specifically a white Chevy
- 4:38Speaker 1: blazer with gold trim that sped away immediately after the gunshots.
- 4:43Speaker 1: After the scene is secured, officers return to the body
- 4:46Speaker 1: to examine it closely and determine the victim's identity. What
- 4:49Speaker 1: they document here will become critical evidence detectives later used
- 4:53Speaker 1: to secure a conviction.
- 4:55Speaker 4: He's got a blood spot on his head. He may
- 4:57Speaker 4: have one. He may have one in his head and
- 5:00Speaker 4: live there.
- 5:01Speaker 7: Unless run of one shoulder here, unless this step.
- 5:05Speaker 4: You know, something caused him to fall forward though that if.
- 5:10Speaker 7: This was the first shot, yeah forward, you.
- 5:12Speaker 8: Know that can't be the first shot though, because that's
- 5:15Speaker 8: on the back of his leg.
- 5:16Speaker 4: He was standing up facing this way.
- 5:17Speaker 14: In the car.
- 5:19Speaker 4: To take off running. Maybe he was walking from the road.
- 5:23Speaker 9: I think he was walked in this way.
- 5:25Speaker 13: If he was down, somebody walked over or got to
- 5:28Speaker 13: the edge of top in the head.
- 5:31Speaker 1: As officers study the wounds, something troubling starts to stand out.
- 5:36Speaker 1: This doesn't look like a chaotic shooting, but it's more
- 5:40Speaker 1: in line with a calculated execution. The shot pattern is brutal,
- 5:45Speaker 1: hinting at a violent, twisted killer on the loose. The
- 5:49Speaker 1: victim appears to be in his early forties, with at
- 5:51Speaker 1: least four gunshot wounds, and with no gun in sight,
- 5:55Speaker 1: it's likely he was unarmed, and at this point the
- 5:59Speaker 1: officers still don't know his identity or what would drive
- 6:02Speaker 1: someone to kill him so brutally. But that's when they
- 6:04Speaker 1: noticed something crucial, a trail of fresh footprints leading straight
- 6:08Speaker 1: to a nearby house. With guns drawn, officers move in cautiously.
- 6:13Speaker 1: After searching the home, officers find no one inside, but
- 6:17Speaker 1: they do notice women's clothing and drug paraphernalia tucked inside
- 6:21Speaker 1: the cupboards, along with family photos of a man who
- 6:24Speaker 1: resembles the diseased victim, leading them to believe this is
- 6:28Speaker 1: his residence, with the house cleared, officers step back outside
- 6:32Speaker 1: to regroup and figure out their next move. They still
- 6:35Speaker 1: don't know the victim's name, and they're no closer to
- 6:38Speaker 1: identifying who shot him, so they split up to gather
- 6:41Speaker 1: information from nearby residents, where they'll learn the victim's name
- 6:45Speaker 1: and hear some concerning details about his life.
- 6:48Speaker 6: I hey, but Chasa, you're here any lay? Yes, he
- 6:53Speaker 6: lives in this last fello over here, Jos.
- 7:00Speaker 15: At least six months earlier.
- 7:04Speaker 9: Did you hear anything over here?
- 7:05Speaker 4: Yes?
- 7:06Speaker 3: Sure?
- 7:06Speaker 9: Are her three shots?
- 7:08Speaker 12: How many people come and go from the house?
- 7:09Speaker 9: You're aware of a few?
- 7:11Speaker 4: Do they ever have any issues over there?
- 7:13Speaker 13: Oh? Fighting?
- 7:14Speaker 4: Who? Who? Fights?
- 7:16Speaker 9: Sill and William.
- 7:18Speaker 1: After speaking with several more neighbors, officers finally confirmed the
- 7:22Speaker 1: victim's identity thirty seven year old William Johnson, a father
- 7:26Speaker 1: of two daughters, known around the area as Bubba. They
- 7:29Speaker 1: also learn about a twenty three year old girl named
- 7:32Speaker 1: Sierra who'd been living with William and often was seen
- 7:35Speaker 1: arguing with him, but no one seems to know her
- 7:37Speaker 1: last name, something police now need to track down. Coincidentally,
- 7:41Speaker 1: one of the officers canvassing the area encounters a driver
- 7:44Speaker 1: parked along the roadside, who claims to be Sierra's friend
- 7:47Speaker 1: and knows exactly how to find her.
- 7:50Speaker 11: How's it going good?
- 7:52Speaker 9: Did you know her be because you worked with her?
- 7:55Speaker 13: Because I worked with this she was also a friend
- 7:57Speaker 13: of my daughter?
- 7:58Speaker 9: Is he argument?
- 7:59Speaker 6: Sierra still begin for some dumb reason on that do
- 8:02Speaker 6: not exactly work out.
- 8:06Speaker 9: You will had bad everything, But just how do you
- 8:14Speaker 9: know he was doing?
- 8:16Speaker 8: I see still to sell to who?
- 8:19Speaker 1: S Sierra's friend would go on to provide officers with
- 8:23Speaker 1: her full name and phone number. Twenty three year old
- 8:26Speaker 1: Sierra Collins, William's ex girlfriend. When detectives arrived to begin
- 8:30Speaker 1: their homicide investigation, they quickly realize they're already familiar with Sierra.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Her record includes several drug related defenses and even a
- 8:38Speaker 1: restraining order she filed against William himself. She had recently
- 8:42Speaker 1: completed a rehamp program, was trying to regain custody of
- 8:45Speaker 1: her son, and was working towards becoming a teacher. With
- 8:48Speaker 1: her name confirmed, the investigator decides to call her. At
- 8:51Speaker 1: this point, all the detective knows about Sierra is that
- 8:54Speaker 1: she's William's ex girlfriend. He simply wants to ask her
- 8:57Speaker 1: about William and has no reason to believe she's in anything.
- 9:01Speaker 1: But that will change quickly once she answers the phone.
- 9:05Speaker 1: But before we get to that, you know those times
- 9:08Speaker 1: we are not feeling right or have some weird symptoms,
- 9:10Speaker 1: you're not really sure what they are. The hardest part
- 9:12Speaker 1: for me isn't usually deciding to see a doctor, it's

- 10:13Speaker 1: let's get back to the investigation, where the detective is
- 10:16Speaker 1: about to call Sierra and discover she may know exactly
- 10:20Speaker 1: how William ended up.
- 10:21Speaker 9: Dad, I'm sorry, is this Sierra?
- 10:24Speaker 12: Who's this detective the Sheriff's office.
- 10:26Speaker 9: I was trying to get a hold of you.
- 10:28Speaker 12: Are you available right now?
- 10:29Speaker 13: Oh?
- 10:29Speaker 6: Sure?
- 10:30Speaker 4: What?
- 10:31Speaker 12: I just have some questions I'd like I really would
- 10:34Speaker 12: like to speak with you. It involves William. Oh, sh like,
- 10:39Speaker 12: it's very very important. You can't meet with me for like,
- 10:43Speaker 12: literally like twenty minutes. Is I really need right now?
- 10:47Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 10:47Speaker 4: If you can can call you back?
- 10:49Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 10:50Speaker 12: How long do you think?
- 10:50Speaker 13: Roughly call you back in next ten minutes.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Sierra hangs up, but calls back shortly after, ultimately agreeing
- 10:57Speaker 1: to come to the station. Unknowingly, the upcoming interview with
- 11:01Speaker 1: Sierra will blow the case wide open, but the Chaffin
- 11:04Speaker 1: brothers on the run. It's armed fugitives and trigger a
- 11:07Speaker 1: dangerous multi hour manhunt.
- 11:12Speaker 10: Keep your right hand up with your left hand only
- 11:15Speaker 10: opened the door.
- 11:22Speaker 8: So I don't think that with you, not today anyway.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Okay, yess Sair.
- 11:32Speaker 12: Do you know he who he dealt with on the
- 11:35Speaker 12: on that drug whole drug side of things, Like who
- 11:37Speaker 12: kind of his person was? The reason I asked you
- 11:41Speaker 12: is that's a mode, that's a great motive.
- 11:43Speaker 7: I mean he bought do you know what I mean?
- 11:45Speaker 4: Did he owe any of them? Yes?
- 11:47Speaker 9: Okay, who did.
- 11:48Speaker 4: He owe you money?
- 11:50Speaker 6: Well?
- 11:50Speaker 4: I know he owned the way anything I talked to
- 11:52Speaker 4: him this morning.
- 11:54Speaker 12: I mean, anybody's a point where you think they would
- 11:56Speaker 12: want to kill him, Like why would someone want.
- 11:58Speaker 4: To murder him?
- 11:59Speaker 12: Like we're not here to play games, We're not here,
- 12:01Speaker 12: Like maybe he's dead, maybe he's not.
- 12:03Speaker 4: He was murdered this morning. And I'm calling you.
- 12:07Speaker 12: Trying to so that you can help me. Okay, I'm
- 12:10Speaker 12: not here to keep you in trouble.
- 12:12Speaker 9: Obviously he's not in trouble.
- 12:14Speaker 12: He can't be in trouble because regardless of whether you
- 12:16Speaker 12: agree with what he was doing or not, or trying
- 12:19Speaker 12: to help him or whatever, why'd you guys break up?
- 12:26Speaker 4: Was he abusive to you?
- 12:30Speaker 1: Sierra starts crying almost immediately, but the detective can quickly
- 12:34Speaker 1: tell it isn't genuine grief, more like someone afraid of
- 12:37Speaker 1: getting into trouble. Seeing this, he shifts the conversation to
- 12:41Speaker 1: William's phone. Officers had found it at the crime scene earlier,
- 12:44Speaker 1: believing it might contain crucial evidence. The detective brings it
- 12:48Speaker 1: up to see whether Sierra is willing to help unlock it,
- 12:51Speaker 1: something she would do without hesitation if she truly cared
- 12:54Speaker 1: about William.
- 12:55Speaker 4: What's the pass code for Williams? Don't tell me you
- 12:58Speaker 4: don't know, because I know that you.
- 12:59Speaker 12: Do, know you, and I know that you know. And listen,
- 13:02Speaker 12: I'm gonna tell you something right now, the chain of
- 13:05Speaker 12: events that took place. If I can access that phone,
- 13:07Speaker 12: that will help me huge.
- 13:10Speaker 4: No, he does. There's a quote on it.
- 13:12Speaker 9: What is it on his phone? A long time? You're
- 13:15Speaker 9: not in trouble.
- 13:16Speaker 12: You're here to help me. You are here to help me.
- 13:19Speaker 12: That's why I called you.
- 13:20Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna get in trouble.
- 13:23Speaker 4: How for what I don't know on his phone?
- 13:26Speaker 12: Why would you be in trouble for what I see
- 13:27Speaker 12: in his phone? I brought you here because I know
- 13:33Speaker 12: that in your relationship, I know you love him, Like,
- 13:37Speaker 12: how do you know that?
- 13:39Speaker 1: Seearra's reaction here is concerning, to say the least outright.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Refusing to help unlock the phone because she's worried it
- 13:48Speaker 1: might contain something incriminating is a major red flag for
- 13:52Speaker 1: the detective, and her lack of cooperation is doing nothing
- 13:55Speaker 1: to help her case. But things don't stop there. As
- 13:58Speaker 1: the interview continues, Sierra soon reveals the real reason she
- 14:02Speaker 1: won't talk.
- 14:04Speaker 13: I'm getting hit.
- 14:04Speaker 7: In trouble if I say something, will I.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Don't like for what I mean?
- 14:09Speaker 9: I guess what do you What do you think?
- 14:10Speaker 4: I mean? Did you shoot him?
- 14:12Speaker 8: So?
- 14:13Speaker 4: What do you? I mean? What do you think?
- 14:15Speaker 13: You go to general?
- 14:16Speaker 7: I'm try to starting to be a T shirt.
- 14:18Speaker 9: You know, just your bad. You're not going to jump
- 14:22Speaker 9: for anything.
- 14:22Speaker 7: I can go for a walk and let's go.
- 14:25Speaker 12: I'll leave my ship in here right now, We'll go
- 14:27Speaker 12: walk down the street right now. I don't know this
- 14:31Speaker 12: is this isn't the FBI on TV.
- 14:38Speaker 9: This camera rager, this is the only camera.
- 14:39Speaker 12: My phone's are right, I will leave all my ship
- 14:41Speaker 12: right here.
- 14:41Speaker 9: We go for a walk, right here.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Even though Sierra admits she knows who killed William, she
- 14:47Speaker 1: refuses to see it inside the interrogation room, so the
- 14:50Speaker 1: two agree to go for a walk, and the detective
- 14:52Speaker 1: leaves his body camera behind as he escorts her outside,
- 14:55Speaker 1: hoping she'll finally talk. Outside, Sierra explains that her friend
- 15:01Speaker 1: Tyler Chaffin, whom she met in rehab, and his brother
- 15:04Speaker 1: Eli were the killers, and insists she had no part
- 15:08Speaker 1: in the murder, claiming the brothers were unstable and the
- 15:11Speaker 1: younger one simply wanted to murder someone. This, however, is
- 15:15Speaker 1: only Sierra's version of events, a version that conveniently leaves
- 15:19Speaker 1: out the week long plan she set in motion to
- 15:22Speaker 1: get William killed while letting someone else take the blame.
- 15:26Speaker 1: For now, the detectives take her statements at face value,
- 15:29Speaker 1: though he does confiscate her phone to search for any
- 15:32Speaker 1: incriminating evidence. Following this, investigators begin digging into the Chaffan
- 15:36Speaker 1: brothers and discover that the older brother, Tyler, is a
- 15:39Speaker 1: convicted felon with a prior arrest for assaulting a peace officer.
- 15:44Speaker 1: To make matters worse, they find several firearm purchases, including
- 15:48Speaker 1: rifles and pistols. Registered to the chaff In household. With
- 15:51Speaker 1: this information in mind, the brothers are officially considered armed
- 15:55Speaker 1: and extremely dangerous, prompting Swant to join the multi county manhunt.
- 16:00Speaker 1: At the same time, across town, the brothers are already
- 16:03Speaker 1: pecking their guns and getting ready to flee. Convinced that
- 16:06Speaker 1: Sierra has already betrayed them, SWAT teams move toward the
- 16:09Speaker 1: Chapin's residents, planning to ambush the brothers at their parents' home.
- 16:13Speaker 1: The goal is clear, apprehend the suspects with no casualties. However,
- 16:18Speaker 1: nothing about what happens next will go according to plan.
- 16:26Speaker 5: Easy if people just last so Sam, Yeah, we're just
- 16:30Speaker 5: gonna be putting along.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Armed and ready, SWAT races to the address. They set
- 16:35Speaker 1: up surveillance on the roads surrounding the residents, waiting for
- 16:38Speaker 1: the suspects to either arrive or make a run for it.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Once officers arrive, they immediately surround the home and begin
- 16:44Speaker 1: attempts to draw the brothers out. After several unsuccessful attempts
- 17:07Speaker 1: to get the brothers to surrender, Swamp begins preparing to
- 17:10Speaker 1: breach the residents.
- 17:12Speaker 4: Yeah, this door should be easy to breach.
- 17:14Speaker 14: Get Wive with the luck if you just go ahead, well,
- 17:17Speaker 14: I've got two steps here.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Just don't tell us stuck.
- 17:22Speaker 11: To make sure, tell us what hit the bot it
- 17:26Speaker 11: to command successful breach looks like a jan.
- 17:29Speaker 13: Goes into a dining room, bustle the kitchen.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Kee won, he won?
- 17:35Speaker 4: Shut yeah, you w yep, this is weird.
- 17:40Speaker 9: Yeah, it's moved up shed to the right and then
- 17:45Speaker 9: there's forward to the left.
- 17:48Speaker 14: Go climb with here.
- 17:57Speaker 1: That you're good, hur right here, I mean, after searching
- 18:10Speaker 1: the entire home, no chapin brother is found, but whoever
- 18:13Speaker 1: lives here has left half a dozen guns behind, meaning
- 18:17Speaker 1: they could return at any moment. Just then, a white
- 18:21Speaker 1: suv matching the exact description of the suspects car is
- 18:24Speaker 1: spotted approaching the house. Officers draw their guns, immediately closing
- 18:28Speaker 1: in on the vehicle as they brace for a shootout.
- 18:32Speaker 4: For livestop intera.
- 18:43Speaker 10: Keep your right hand up with your left hand only
- 18:45Speaker 10: open the door, get out, put your hands up, turn
- 18:49Speaker 10: around and place away from me.
- 18:50Speaker 12: On your keep there goes up your handwork hands up
- 18:54Speaker 12: up your head, keep coming back, keep coming back.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Your has on your face, on your face, on your face,
- 19:00Speaker 1: on your face.
- 19:03Speaker 9: Daw Claire, we've got two in trustines.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Sixty three officers successfully arrest the brothers and find an
- 19:09Speaker 1: AR fifteen rifle in their car, a reminder of just
- 19:12Speaker 1: how deadly this confrontation could have been. They're then placed
- 19:15Speaker 1: together in the same police vehicle to be taken to
- 19:18Speaker 1: the station. This is a deliberate move. The car is
- 19:21Speaker 1: equipped with a microphone that might capture the suspects coordinating
- 19:24Speaker 1: a cover up. The smartest move for the brothers would
- 19:26Speaker 1: be to stay silent, but the police aren't dealing with
- 19:29Speaker 1: the brightest. What they're about to say will give investigators
- 19:33Speaker 1: all the ammunition they need for the upcoming interrogations and
- 19:36Speaker 1: a chilling glimpse into the twisted minds of these killers.
- 19:45Speaker 9: Okay, so I gotta reach down here or don't kick
- 19:47Speaker 9: me seven? Did you see?
- 19:51Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 19:52Speaker 9: I'm alright, you guys, hang tight, all right, sir Jill.
- 19:56Speaker 9: Don't tell them that you want to commit all right.
- 20:00Speaker 9: I mean you're going to go to the same cell block. Okay,
- 20:02Speaker 9: we'll be together. I'll show you how to do jail.
- 20:05Speaker 15: I don't have my gun anyway.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Just be cool, okay, yeah, good.
- 20:14Speaker 9: And c or something stupid like that. So whenever they
- 20:18Speaker 9: had gotten to the place is to take them out.
- 20:20Speaker 9: He pulled that shit out.
- 20:24Speaker 1: On the way to the station. Tyler, being the older brother,
- 20:27Speaker 1: immediately takes charge, telling Eli not to cry or bring
- 20:31Speaker 1: up self harm and to stick to their story. From
- 20:33Speaker 1: this conversation alone, the detectives can already tell the brothers
- 20:37Speaker 1: won't be easy to break, especially if they stay together,
- 20:40Speaker 1: So once they arrive at the station, the brothers are
- 20:43Speaker 1: immediately separated. From this point on, neither will know where
- 20:46Speaker 1: the other is or what they've said. The detective assigned
- 20:50Speaker 1: to interview the brothers is Detective Decker, who served with
- 20:53Speaker 1: distinction and was recently promoted to sergeant. Decker's goal is
- 20:57Speaker 1: to provoke one of the brothers into slipping up and
- 21:00Speaker 1: contradicting the other, a strategy aimed at uncovering what really happened. Eli,
- 21:05Speaker 1: the teenage brother who allegedly pulled the trigger, is the
- 21:07Speaker 1: first to be interviewed, but once they sit down, Eli
- 21:11Speaker 1: instantly starts bargaining and asks for something the detective could
- 21:14Speaker 1: have never seen coming.
- 21:17Speaker 4: I don't going after that held a nineteen nineteen.
- 21:23Speaker 5: I'd like to have a parent sand for the questioning,
- 21:25Speaker 5: as any time I've been told if they're going to do.
- 21:28Speaker 9: Any question for you is to have them in during
- 21:31Speaker 9: the questioning.
- 21:32Speaker 4: But you're at this point, you're nineteen. The parent part
- 21:34Speaker 4: generally applies to juveniles, so I still like it.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The detective Decker is baffled. Eli is nineteen legally an adult,
- 21:43Speaker 1: yet he still insists on having his mother present. Decker
- 21:46Speaker 1: already senses how messy this could get. Any parent with
- 21:49Speaker 1: even basic instincts would tell their kid to ask for
- 21:52Speaker 1: a lawyer immediately, but with no other choice, he escorts
- 21:55Speaker 1: Eli back to his cell, still weighing the pros and
- 21:57Speaker 1: cons of calling the mother. In the meantime, the detective
- 22:00Speaker 1: moves on to interview Tyler, who will prove to have
- 22:03Speaker 1: a very different strategy, one the detective won't catch on
- 22:06Speaker 1: to right away.
- 22:08Speaker 4: So so I got to ask you before we hit
- 22:15Speaker 4: going men, do you have any idea why you might
- 22:19Speaker 4: be here today?
- 22:21Speaker 9: Not really, not really at all.
- 22:23Speaker 16: And the reason that I tell you that is because
- 22:25Speaker 16: I know we all we all screw up, we all
- 22:28Speaker 16: do stupid things.
- 22:29Speaker 4: But the reason that you're here today is in reference
- 22:31Speaker 4: to William Johnson. Do you know who that is? Okay,
- 22:35Speaker 4: how do you know him?
- 22:37Speaker 9: I met this girl he was like her own exployfriend
- 22:40Speaker 9: or something like that.
- 22:42Speaker 4: What girl did you meet her name?
- 22:44Speaker 14: Sierra?
- 22:45Speaker 4: Call me known Sierra for a week recently meeting her?
- 22:50Speaker 9: Or iop together? What is that intensile patient treatment for
- 22:57Speaker 9: alcohol drugs today?
- 23:01Speaker 4: No, sober n you know of William because of her?
- 23:05Speaker 4: Because of her?
- 23:06Speaker 9: She talked about him here and there.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Have you ever met William Never?
- 23:13Speaker 1: Tyler shows no real reaction to what Detective Decker just said,
- 23:18Speaker 1: instead playing completely oblivious, as if he has no idea
- 23:22Speaker 1: why he's even sitting in an interview room. But underneath
- 23:25Speaker 1: that act, the pressure is already cracking through because Tyler
- 23:30Speaker 1: already suspects Sierra has sold them out. He just doesn't
- 23:33Speaker 1: know how much investigators have against him and his brother.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Seeing this, the detective decides it's time to plainly lay
- 23:40Speaker 1: it out and make sure Tyler understands that he's here
- 23:43Speaker 1: for murder, a revelation that immediately since Tyler scrambling to improvise, like,
- 23:48Speaker 1: I told you.
- 23:49Speaker 4: I'm here to talk to you about William Johnson. So
- 23:53Speaker 4: William Johnson was murdered. Yeah, yeah, So.
- 23:57Speaker 9: I'm gonna be straight with you now, I down the bush.
- 24:01Speaker 15: She came out with us, and we went to the
- 24:04Speaker 15: sword place over there kind of battle where he lives.
- 24:08Speaker 9: And went to the storage place and she said him,
- 24:10Speaker 9: its clover again and full back. So I want to
- 24:14Speaker 9: track up the car.
- 24:15Speaker 15: So went over droven next to his house, and this
- 24:20Speaker 15: dude came out and started approaching the vehicle. I then
- 24:24Speaker 15: grabbed a twenty two pistol and pointed out and told
- 24:28Speaker 15: him to stop.
- 24:29Speaker 9: He got up in my face. I hit him with
- 24:31Speaker 9: the pistol. Says I hit him with the pistol.
- 24:34Speaker 15: He had something in his hand. I don't know what
- 24:36Speaker 15: it was, but he got me in that got me
- 24:38Speaker 15: in head. We went to the ground, says I went
- 24:41Speaker 15: to the ground, he went for my pistol, and as
- 24:43Speaker 15: soon he went for my pistol, in b the shop.
- 24:45Speaker 9: Where were you at in the vehicle?
- 24:47Speaker 4: I was in?
- 24:47Speaker 9: The passenger said he was when.
- 24:49Speaker 15: The tussle happened, and whenever he went for the pistols,
- 24:52Speaker 15: whenever he ate per shop on the ground, getting my
- 24:56Speaker 15: ass beat and getting got damn there, got the pistol
- 24:59Speaker 15: take away from me.
- 25:00Speaker 9: That man got shot.
- 25:02Speaker 15: He sees Sierra, and I don't know what his intentions
- 25:08Speaker 15: were from what I've heard, abuse or whatever.
- 25:12Speaker 9: I know we were going to his house. I thought
- 25:16Speaker 9: we were going to do.
- 25:17Speaker 1: With out a car right away. Tyler doesn't stick to
- 25:20Speaker 1: the plan he rehearsed with his brother and instead confesses
- 25:22Speaker 1: to the shooting, trying to frame it a self defense,
- 25:25Speaker 1: believing it will protect both of them. However, in doing so,
- 25:28Speaker 1: he ends up fully implicating his brother Eli. Whether intentionally
- 25:32Speaker 1: or not, remains to be seen, and while his explanation
- 25:36Speaker 1: may sound reasonable for now, the brothers have no idea
- 25:40Speaker 1: that the gunshot pattern on Williams's body tells a very
- 25:42Speaker 1: different story, one that's not consistent with self defense but execution.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Do you know what the hole in his back tells me?
- 25:51Speaker 14: You know what's not in looking at the way that
- 25:55Speaker 14: that bullet hit his back is that he was already
- 25:58Speaker 14: laying face down.
- 25:59Speaker 9: When that round was see and I don't I whenever the.
- 26:03Speaker 4: First round I cough, So that hole in his back?
- 26:07Speaker 4: You think that was the first round that him?
- 26:10Speaker 3: Or what do you?
- 26:10Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 26:12Speaker 9: I know my brother uses follow points and.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I know it was Nick Cole's Yeah, what was he saying?
- 26:24Speaker 9: He loves me?
- 26:28Speaker 1: Even though Tyler doubles down on the self defense claim
- 26:31Speaker 1: and seems regretful. The evidence gathered so far points to
- 26:34Speaker 1: a far more cold, deliberate violence rather than two frightened
- 26:38Speaker 1: kids defending themselves. Detective Decker knows this, and Tyler's tearful
- 26:43Speaker 1: explanations aren't convincing him otherwise, but instead of being confrontational,
- 26:47Speaker 1: Decker decides to simply let Tyler keep talking, allowing him
- 26:51Speaker 1: to dig the hole deeper for himself and his brother scary.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Man to see it, just to see it, would never
- 27:01Speaker 4: imagine what do you think should happen to you?
- 27:03Speaker 9: I didn't want any of that to happen, and I did.
- 27:05Speaker 15: I never had attentions to she and I never tried
- 27:09Speaker 15: to cock the pistol back and shoot him with the pistol.
- 27:12Speaker 15: And I don't want to feel like a tell him,
- 27:13Speaker 15: but I don't know how any how he did. He
- 27:17Speaker 15: always had an interest in guns and ship, and we
- 27:20Speaker 15: always worried about him, and I guess I think today.
- 27:23Speaker 9: It was his day for him us.
- 27:30Speaker 4: How did Eli seem after the whole ordeal?
- 27:33Speaker 9: He seems really fucked up.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Tyler is a complete mess, now, no longer acting, but
- 27:52Speaker 1: genuinely horrified by his brother's actions this morning after exhausting
- 27:56Speaker 1: everything Tyler can say about the murder, the detective shifts
- 27:59Speaker 1: the conversation to the third person that was present during
- 28:02Speaker 1: the shooting, Sierra Collins. Earlier, Sierra placed all the blame
- 28:06Speaker 1: on the brothers, insisting she had nothing to do with
- 28:09Speaker 1: the murder, But that narrative is about to change.
- 28:13Speaker 4: What was her take on seeing her? I guess boyfriend
- 28:16Speaker 4: or his boyfriend?
- 28:17Speaker 9: She Shanda had sheratt a noun emotion. It was shocking.
- 28:22Speaker 4: I didn't so no one knows it at all, not laughing,
- 28:25Speaker 4: not crying.
- 28:25Speaker 5: She did.
- 28:26Speaker 8: I know that it was.
- 28:28Speaker 15: That was her plant, and I don't know if she
- 28:31Speaker 15: was because she was outside whenever we pulled up. Because
- 28:33Speaker 15: she had asked you if you had shoot him before
- 28:36Speaker 15: all this happened, jokingly.
- 28:39Speaker 9: Like that's a nice gun, would you shoot my ex boy?
- 28:42Speaker 9: Was all a joke until today.
- 28:45Speaker 14: I have a little bit of history with her in
- 28:47Speaker 14: different cases, and she's she can be a pretty persuasive girl.
- 28:52Speaker 14: I mean, if she straight up asked you to go
- 28:56Speaker 14: over there to shoot William, then you'd be straight with me.
- 28:59Speaker 4: If that's what she said.
- 29:00Speaker 9: She told us about how der and did all these
- 29:04Speaker 9: bad things to her by who Sierra as she tried this.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Tyler outright accuses Sierra of tricking him and his brother
- 29:15Speaker 1: into murdering William. There's a chance he's saying this to
- 29:18Speaker 1: protect himself and Eli, but the detective knows Sierra is
- 29:21Speaker 1: more than capable of manipulation. If Eli's story aligns with Tyler's,
- 29:25Speaker 1: they may be able to implicate her and lessen their
- 29:28Speaker 1: own sentences. Now it's the brother's word against Sierra's, and
- 29:32Speaker 1: soon their mother, Tiffany will enter the mix, stepping into
- 29:36Speaker 1: what will become the worst day of her life. For now, though,
- 29:41Speaker 1: the detective wraps up his interview with Tyler, but instead
- 29:44Speaker 1: of calling the brother's mother right away, he reaches out
- 29:46Speaker 1: to someone he's already spoken with, Sierra. What she doesn't
- 29:50Speaker 1: know is that the investigators have already spent hours reviewing
- 29:54Speaker 1: messages on her phone, and they've uncovered far more involvement
- 29:57Speaker 1: than she ever admitted. When Sieraara arrives, she seems to
- 30:01Speaker 1: sense it and immediately asks Detective Decker to turn off
- 30:05Speaker 1: his body cam, apparently forgetting about the camera in the
- 30:08Speaker 1: interview room. What neither of them realizes is that this
- 30:11Speaker 1: will become the last known recording of Sierra Alive.
- 30:17Speaker 4: Do you know what happened? I know you know what happened,
- 30:22Speaker 4: But why do you think that happened? You don't have
- 30:27Speaker 4: to do it too.
- 30:28Speaker 3: I didn't know.
- 30:32Speaker 4: Had they ever been to for how did they know anything?
- 30:36Speaker 4: So you know, none of this looks very good. Right
- 30:41Speaker 4: Whenever you send text messages like.
- 30:43Speaker 3: That to will and then proceed to go over to
- 30:46Speaker 3: his house, which you're always who are strapped?
- 30:49Speaker 4: You and Williams.
- 30:54Speaker 9: Is a shot?
- 30:56Speaker 4: Kind of seems like an orchestrated plan. Was mean these guys.
- 31:02Speaker 4: These guys didn't know whifore.
- 31:03Speaker 9: They met until they got about Will team direct from you.
- 31:07Speaker 4: I didn't hollow to Sierrah.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Here's Whare's what I think?
- 31:10Speaker 4: I think that that day that you had booke the
- 31:14Speaker 4: straight to friends go over there, but you were over
- 31:17Speaker 4: there for a purpose. Those boys had no ideas.
- 31:20Speaker 7: But I didn't go over to die.
- 31:24Speaker 3: All the evidence that I have says that there was
- 31:26Speaker 3: something planned to go down there to do something.
- 31:33Speaker 7: Why did you help him?
- 31:42Speaker 1: Sierra continues to insist that Eli simply wanted to kill
- 31:46Speaker 1: someone and that she had nothing to do with it,
- 31:48Speaker 1: but at this point, none of what she says matters.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Her phone is filled with incriminating messages she can't explain away.
- 31:54Speaker 1: And now not only is Sierra not getting her phone back,
- 31:57Speaker 1: she's about to learn she's not walking out of this
- 32:00Speaker 1: interview room either. Her life as she knows it is over.
- 32:04Speaker 16: So Eli killed your best friend, got it down and
- 32:08Speaker 16: shining down.
- 32:10Speaker 2: But you don't know what you can.
- 32:15Speaker 8: Do.
- 32:15Speaker 4: You feel like you're to learn bringing of it.
- 32:18Speaker 7: I believe it's all that's what you're asking right now.
- 32:21Speaker 4: I'm in the process of climbing for a long or
- 32:24Speaker 4: rest for Will's lead. Sierra.
- 32:31Speaker 13: I'm not saying that you are the one that went
- 32:34Speaker 13: on going to pull.
- 32:34Speaker 4: To share, but some of your actions.
- 32:36Speaker 9: Directly the impacted where all that turned.
- 32:39Speaker 16: Out, Well, well, we can't bring Will back, Sierra. If
- 32:50Speaker 16: if it's my choice, you're gonna go to jail and you're.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Gonna be choshed.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Sierra, nothing can save her now. The interview
- 32:58Speaker 1: is concluded and Sierra is placed under arrest for murder.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Her breakdown at the end of the interview, however, hints
- 33:05Speaker 1: at a much darker twist awaiting her one no one
- 33:09Speaker 1: could have predicted. By now. Detective Decker decides it's time
- 33:13Speaker 1: to speak with the person who allegedly pulled the trigger Eli,
- 33:16Speaker 1: So he finally calls Eli's mother, Tiffany, asking her to
- 33:20Speaker 1: come down to the station without explaining exactly why. Shocked
- 33:24Speaker 1: to receive a call from the police at such an hour,
- 33:26Speaker 1: Tiffany arrives within minutes. When Decker goes outside to notify
- 33:30Speaker 1: her of the horrifying crime her sons are accused of.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Her reaction is strange, to say the least.
- 33:37Speaker 8: So, I'm Detective Decker. I spoke with you on the phone.
- 33:40Speaker 8: When I went to talk to Eli. He wanted you
- 33:42Speaker 8: President Wave spoke with them. He didn't really explain why.
- 33:46Speaker 8: I mean, he's an adults, so normally we don't get
- 33:48Speaker 8: that from adults.
- 33:50Speaker 13: Severely.
- 33:55Speaker 8: I guess our sergeant came over and talked with you
- 33:57Speaker 8: and let you know that your boys have been in
- 33:59Speaker 8: a shooting.
- 34:00Speaker 9: Yeah, wish I don't understand.
- 34:02Speaker 13: I win where out.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Clearly, Tiffany's reaction isn't what the officers expected from a
- 34:09Speaker 1: mother whose sons are accused of murder. The detective is
- 34:12Speaker 1: taking a big risk by allowing Tiffany to be present
- 34:15Speaker 1: during questioning. While her presence could encourage Eli to open up.
- 34:19Speaker 1: It could just as easily shut him down or prompt
- 34:22Speaker 1: him to ask for a lawyer. For Detective Decker, the
- 34:24Speaker 1: goal is to see how closely Eli's account aligns with
- 34:27Speaker 1: Tyler's and to assess Sierra's true level of involvement. But
- 34:31Speaker 1: for Tiffany, she's here to find out whether her teenage
- 34:34Speaker 1: sons are truly heartless, cold blooded killers.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Absolutely, so you feel comfortable to talk to me? Nil,
- 34:52Speaker 4: he cool? So, just to be straight with you, the
- 34:55Speaker 4: reason that we're here today is in reference to William Johnson.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Do you know that name?
- 35:01Speaker 9: I have no clue who that is, no idea that, sir.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Clearly, Eli is sticking to the story he and his
- 35:07Speaker 1: brother concocted, completely unaware that just hours earlier, Tyler had
- 35:11Speaker 1: already given him up. Tiffany did mention that Eli is
- 35:15Speaker 1: severely dyslexic and considered disabled, so there's a chance he
- 35:19Speaker 1: isn't lying but genuinely unable to recall names. But Decker
- 35:23Speaker 1: is about to find out whether that's true or if
- 35:26Speaker 1: it's all an act.
- 35:27Speaker 4: So, and you're you graduated high school?
- 35:29Speaker 9: Yes, sir?
- 35:30Speaker 4: Is that easy?
- 35:31Speaker 2: Uh?
- 35:32Speaker 5: It was pretty difficult, especially with how COVID was and
- 35:35Speaker 5: then like computer, I was better learning in class than
- 35:38Speaker 5: over a laptop.
- 35:39Speaker 4: He said, he didn't know that I have have you
- 35:42Speaker 4: ever heard the name before?
- 35:45Speaker 13: Will?
- 35:45Speaker 4: Okay, so have you heard of Will Johnson?
- 35:47Speaker 8: No?
- 35:48Speaker 4: No, sir, just Will Will? And who have you heard
- 35:51Speaker 4: that name from?
- 35:51Speaker 6: It?
- 35:52Speaker 13: Probably?
- 35:54Speaker 9: I don't know how to exactly see your name. It's
- 35:56Speaker 9: like see you.
- 35:57Speaker 5: I just barely like recently met her through my tether
- 36:01Speaker 5: and they've been just like hanging out and stuff.
- 36:03Speaker 13: That's that's just all I know them.
- 36:06Speaker 4: What about the name Sierra, Just just the fact that
- 36:10Speaker 4: I know her.
- 36:11Speaker 9: With my brother?
- 36:12Speaker 4: What did she all do today?
- 36:13Speaker 9: Oh?
- 36:13Speaker 13: We just like hang out and watch TV and played
- 36:17Speaker 13: video games and stuff.
- 36:19Speaker 9: You didn't really do too much.
- 36:20Speaker 13: I was actually there today, if I might add, I
- 36:23Speaker 13: was there today and I can even tell you the
- 36:25Speaker 13: times that I was there and.
- 36:26Speaker 7: They were also there.
- 36:28Speaker 4: What time did you leave?
- 36:30Speaker 13: So, Seria Serena, I don't want to see her name exactly.
- 36:34Speaker 9: She had gotten a call and.
- 36:36Speaker 13: She taught us that is a detective or something, and
- 36:39Speaker 13: you know, like Sierra her talk about her car, she.
- 36:43Speaker 5: Had mentioned it being possibly strapped down or taken apart
- 36:49Speaker 5: and then strapped or something.
- 36:51Speaker 4: But besides that, I don't know where.
- 36:53Speaker 9: Did she say where her car was?
- 36:54Speaker 4: No, I include where it is.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It turns out Eli does know about Sierra, but he
- 37:00Speaker 1: doubles down on playing dumb, just as he and Tyler planned.
- 37:04Speaker 1: At least for now, he's holding out longer than his brother.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Tiffany also seems to be backing up her son, reinforcing
- 37:10Speaker 1: the very risk the detective anticipated when allowing her into
- 37:13Speaker 1: the room. This is when the detective decides to ask
- 37:16Speaker 1: Eli about his fascination with guns, something that will lead
- 37:20Speaker 1: to an unexpected outcome, causing Eli to slip.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Do you have a driver's license?
- 37:26Speaker 2: No?
- 37:27Speaker 9: I do not, but I've done some driving on my Xbox.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Do you own any guns?
- 37:32Speaker 9: I do, but I have it as a hobby.
- 37:34Speaker 4: I am not aggressive.
- 37:37Speaker 5: Do you want to know what I own?
- 37:38Speaker 2: I own?
- 37:39Speaker 13: The first gun that I did get was a twenty two.
- 37:42Speaker 13: It was a TCR, and then after that I got a.
- 37:46Speaker 5: Twelve gage Winchruster. It's the it's like a Cyst pump.
- 37:50Speaker 5: I have my SAINK, which is an AR fifteen. I
- 37:54Speaker 5: got kind of pretty decked.
- 37:57Speaker 13: I'm really proud of it.
- 37:58Speaker 9: I just do it for hot and also for self.
- 38:01Speaker 13: Defense and home defense.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Do you own any handguns? I do.
- 38:06Speaker 13: I well, it's not my handgun, it's my parents handgun.
- 38:10Speaker 9: Why what kind is it? Why are you asking?
- 38:14Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just curious. Okay, it's.
- 38:19Speaker 7: Even have the what's the thing with the bullets in?
- 38:24Speaker 7: It's like a where you put the bullets in?
- 38:27Speaker 3: Oh?
- 38:27Speaker 4: The one that you have is a revolver.
- 38:29Speaker 13: Yes?
- 38:29Speaker 4: Does it have the cylinder in here?
- 38:31Speaker 9: As far as any something doesn't.
- 38:33Speaker 13: It's actually it's put away in their closet.
- 38:35Speaker 7: Maybe it hasn't had this cylinder in it for a year.
- 38:38Speaker 5: Sister.
- 38:39Speaker 4: Do you have any that are broken?
- 38:41Speaker 8: I do.
- 38:41Speaker 13: I have a little bit on the bottom of it
- 38:44Speaker 13: is broken.
- 38:45Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you have the trigger guard? Yeah?
- 38:47Speaker 9: How did that got How did that get broke?
- 38:50Speaker 13: I had dropped it getting out.
- 38:53Speaker 9: Of the car or something.
- 38:54Speaker 1: The detective notices how quickly Alion sitsts he isn't aggressive.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Strange thing to impass eyes unless you know you're being
- 39:01Speaker 1: accused of something serious. So he plans to press Eli
- 39:04Speaker 1: on that point, prompting Eli's mother to jump in and
- 39:07Speaker 1: defend him.
- 39:08Speaker 4: He said's like that kind of struck me weird.
- 39:11Speaker 3: A minute ago, Eli, when I asked you about guns.
- 39:15Speaker 3: You said you had him, but that you're not aggressive.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Why did you feel like that was important to tell me?
- 39:21Speaker 13: It's just something through.
- 39:22Speaker 4: All the time.
- 39:23Speaker 7: You know, he's a very timid guy. He's actually been abused.
- 39:28Speaker 5: And bullied all of his life, and so he's always
- 39:32Speaker 5: like wanted to have again for protection.
- 39:34Speaker 8: All of his life.
- 39:35Speaker 13: I'm trying to preventify it, then provoke a fight, you
- 39:39Speaker 13: know what I mean.
- 39:39Speaker 3: I got zero tolerance for bullie, So I completely understand
- 39:43Speaker 3: you're feeling.
- 39:43Speaker 7: For a long time, I seriously bullied.
- 39:47Speaker 1: The detective believes Tyler and Sierra likely put Eli in
- 39:50Speaker 1: this position and knew he was going to shoot William,
- 39:53Speaker 1: despite their claims to the contrary. But just as Decker
- 39:56Speaker 1: builds some rapport with Eli, he shifts gears completely and
- 40:00Speaker 1: confronts him with his brother's confession.
- 40:03Speaker 4: Was Tyler and he fights today? So I already know.
- 40:06Speaker 4: I already know, I already Eli, I already know that
- 40:10Speaker 4: means yes, who was who was he in a fight with?
- 40:13Speaker 13: Can I tell the full story?
- 40:15Speaker 4: I would love the full story, okay, because I feel
- 40:17Speaker 4: like I'm trying to probe inside of you. I'm sorry,
- 40:19Speaker 4: and I and I know Eli know that you know
- 40:23Speaker 4: why you're here and why I'm talking to you.
- 40:25Speaker 7: Protect yourself, Tom, and tell the truth.
- 40:28Speaker 1: It seems the pressure is working, and Eli decides to
- 40:32Speaker 1: tell the truth. Though his mother encourages him to cooperate,
- 40:35Speaker 1: she has no idea that what she's about to hear
- 40:39Speaker 1: will change their lives forever.
- 40:41Speaker 13: Will.
- 40:41Speaker 5: It kept on calling and she had to fear him
- 40:46Speaker 5: either pulling up on her because she had mentioned him
- 40:48Speaker 5: about far up and learn a number of different things.
- 40:53Speaker 5: We had went over to get his phone. I told
- 40:56Speaker 5: her like, I don't know that we're gonna come and
- 40:59Speaker 5: get the phone, is to get the personal adems off
- 41:01Speaker 5: of it. And as soon as we had pulled up,
- 41:04Speaker 5: he had stuck his head out the door and was
- 41:07Speaker 5: already just screaming things. And he had come out in
- 41:11Speaker 5: the front yard. And what's he gonna do, you know,
- 41:14Speaker 5: Break Winsfield, like, what's his next move? So I got
- 41:17Speaker 5: out of my car with my rifle and told him
- 41:19Speaker 5: is to stop quit approaching, stay where you are, stop moving.
- 41:23Speaker 5: My brother got out of the car and Will had
- 41:25Speaker 5: hit my brother and somehow my brother got this gash
- 41:29Speaker 5: on the side of his head. They both fell over
- 41:31Speaker 5: and because my brother he'd had a He had gone
- 41:35Speaker 5: out a revolver, the revolver that we were talking about.
- 41:37Speaker 5: I don't know why he had it, but I noticed
- 41:39Speaker 5: that he had dropped it.
- 41:40Speaker 13: Will was going for the revolver.
- 41:43Speaker 9: So I shot Will and.
- 41:47Speaker 13: We were super striking about it.
- 41:49Speaker 9: So but in my.
- 41:51Speaker 13: Defense, I didn't want Will to kill my brother. I
- 41:55Speaker 13: didn't want Will It to get the gun.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Which I don't have intentions of killing him. I just
- 42:04Speaker 4: wanted to get to leave.
- 42:07Speaker 2: By turned physical and I felt I had a shoe
- 42:11Speaker 2: Wills to make sure my brother dart Her.
- 42:18Speaker 8: Is he all right?
- 42:20Speaker 4: No, No, he's dead.
- 42:23Speaker 7: Oh my god, Eli.
- 42:26Speaker 9: Things I mean, I don't want.
- 42:29Speaker 4: To kill him.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Eli breaks down and begins recounting what happened. With each sentence.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Tiffany struggles to listen as her son describes how he
- 42:38Speaker 1: committed murder, something no mother ever wants to hear. But
- 42:41Speaker 1: even as this tragedy unfolds before her eyes, she clings
- 42:45Speaker 1: to the hope that her son's acted only in self defense.
- 42:48Speaker 1: That's a belief the detective is about to challenge.
- 42:52Speaker 3: I already talked to Tyler. He told me he never
- 42:54Speaker 3: lost possession of the hanggun. He maintained it in his
- 42:57Speaker 3: grip the entire time he was here.
- 43:00Speaker 9: Okay, you never dropped the gun or anything.
- 43:03Speaker 13: No, well, I'd assume him at.
- 43:05Speaker 5: That point Will was gonna pry a gun on his
- 43:09Speaker 5: hands because they're both on the ground.
- 43:11Speaker 13: One of them's not a gun. That's one of those
- 43:15Speaker 13: easily even accidental guns.
- 43:17Speaker 4: It's like like like a clock. So look, Eli, here's
- 43:20Speaker 4: here's the problem that we're gonna run into.
- 43:22Speaker 9: Okay, so.
- 43:25Speaker 4: You and Tyler went over there, but he went over
- 43:28Speaker 4: there with guns.
- 43:29Speaker 5: For self protection, for protection of myself, because she hadn't
- 43:33Speaker 5: even already mentioned that he was.
- 43:36Speaker 13: He had kidnapped her, and he had beat her, so
- 43:39Speaker 13: I wasn't looking forward to getting.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Beat So he went over there to teach Will a lesson.
- 43:44Speaker 13: No, I didn't want to go over there and kill Bill.
- 43:47Speaker 4: But you wanted to teach him a lesson.
- 43:48Speaker 13: Why would I wanted to teach him a lesson?
- 43:51Speaker 9: I just find it tasty.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Sierra any beat her, He had nude photos of her.
- 43:55Speaker 9: That's her personal business.
- 43:56Speaker 4: I don't like girls.
- 43:57Speaker 7: They obviously she gave him the address.
- 43:59Speaker 13: His knee came this directly there.
- 44:02Speaker 5: If somebody's attacking me doing physical harm to me or
- 44:07Speaker 5: my loved ones.
- 44:08Speaker 13: Then I may do something about it. He had pulled
- 44:11Speaker 13: out the phone as if he was going to pull.
- 44:13Speaker 5: Out a gun, but I had actually waited for him
- 44:15Speaker 5: to see what he was going to pull out before
- 44:18Speaker 5: doing anything.
- 44:19Speaker 4: Crazier, where did he pull it out from?
- 44:23Speaker 9: Can I get up to do an example of how
- 44:24Speaker 9: he did this?
- 44:25Speaker 4: Kinsle?
- 44:26Speaker 5: So he come out and went like this and then
- 44:29Speaker 5: went and pulled out his phone all crazy, and it
- 44:32Speaker 5: was like acting all stupid with it.
- 44:34Speaker 13: And that's whenever Tyler ended up on the ground, he
- 44:38Speaker 13: had hit him and aside the head of the phone,
- 44:40Speaker 13: and Tyler.
- 44:40Speaker 4: Just left him.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Had you taken any any handgun courses, any like self
- 44:46Speaker 3: protection courses?
- 44:47Speaker 5: Any was a lot of training on my own time
- 44:51Speaker 5: that like I'll watch YouTube videos on my and just
- 44:55Speaker 5: learned from the YouTube.
- 44:56Speaker 13: There's a number of different gun tiptuckers that I've learned
- 44:59Speaker 13: from my there.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Eli only digs himself deeper when he admits he learned
- 45:03Speaker 1: gun handling from YouTube and TikTok. And this is exactly
- 45:07Speaker 1: where the risk of allowing his mother into the room starts.
- 45:10Speaker 7: To show what you said, Do you really think you
- 45:14Speaker 7: should keep talking or do you.
- 45:15Speaker 4: Want to an attorney?
- 45:17Speaker 9: I'll do what you want.
- 45:18Speaker 5: I'm just going in given what you said, I don't
- 45:22Speaker 5: know that you should keep talking without giving the advice
- 45:24Speaker 5: of a attorney.
- 45:25Speaker 3: So, Eli, at this point, the only thing that I'm
- 45:28Speaker 3: after at this point is I'm trying to figure out.
- 45:31Speaker 4: Of like when you can and when you cannot.
- 45:34Speaker 5: Watch I've watched a lot of body cam videos on YouTube,
- 45:39Speaker 5: police officers and stuff.
- 45:40Speaker 9: Some of them you should start, all right, I'm gonna stop.
- 45:44Speaker 4: What do you mean You're gonna stop?
- 45:46Speaker 14: I think given the situation, he should probably have an
- 45:48Speaker 14: attorney present, and that's completely fippy in.
- 45:52Speaker 9: I'm like, whatever she wants.
- 45:54Speaker 4: So what do you want? Is that an attorney? Cool?
- 45:57Speaker 4: We're done.
- 46:00Speaker 8: You can't.
- 46:03Speaker 4: You let that girl take you there?
- 46:05Speaker 1: With an attorney requested and the interview shut down. Tiffany
- 46:08Speaker 1: hugs her son once more, likely realizing this maybe the
- 46:13Speaker 1: last time she gets to do so. Having now interviewed
- 46:15Speaker 1: both brothers, the detective has made up his mind about them.
- 46:18Speaker 1: He steps outside and tells Tiffany what he really thinks
- 46:22Speaker 1: about Eli.
- 46:24Speaker 14: Art.
- 46:24Speaker 3: He's the one when I talk to Tyler, Tyler, is
- 46:29Speaker 3: it nice? Eli has He's got a different attitude. It's
- 46:35Speaker 3: almost like he doesn't care.
- 46:37Speaker 7: I've watched these two protect each other. Tyler used to
- 46:41Speaker 7: watch Eli get bullied and watching Hippy with his whole computer.
- 46:46Speaker 7: Can I ask you anything is high and Hare?
- 46:48Speaker 6: Yes?
- 46:49Speaker 9: Can I see him?
- 46:50Speaker 4: Give me just a minute. I just want to give
- 46:52Speaker 4: him a hug, tell him goodbye.
- 46:59Speaker 13: As any.
- 47:01Speaker 7: That's thank God. I love you very much, no matter
- 47:08Speaker 7: where you are.
- 47:10Speaker 14: Love you.
- 47:13Speaker 8: For her, I love you.
- 47:20Speaker 1: After giving her sons one final goodbye, Tiffany leaves the
- 47:24Speaker 1: police station, still believing they were nothing more than pawns
- 47:27Speaker 1: in a sadistic scheme, insisting Sierra alone should be held responsible.
- 47:32Speaker 1: The next morning, a judge approves the murder charges against Sierra,
- 47:36Speaker 1: while the brother's charges remain pending. At the same time,
- 47:40Speaker 1: Tyler asks to speak with the detective again, wanting to
- 47:43Speaker 1: know what charges he and his brother might face. For Tyler,
- 47:47Speaker 1: this is his last chance to shift the narrative in
- 47:50Speaker 1: both his and Eli's favor and influence how police view
- 47:53Speaker 1: their roles in the killing. But for Detective Decker, it's
- 47:57Speaker 1: an opportunity to strengthen the case against all three suspects acts. However,
- 48:01Speaker 1: when he sits down with Tyler for one last time.
- 48:03Speaker 1: He begins to wonder whether Tiffany might have been right,
- 48:06Speaker 1: that maybe her sons aren't the monsters everyone assumed.
- 48:10Speaker 11: All right, what what did you want to talk about today?
- 48:15Speaker 11: Tyler's love tell you that we were setting up, that
- 48:19Speaker 11: we didn't know where we were going, that we were
- 48:22Speaker 11: gonna go see your car. And that's as far as
- 48:26Speaker 11: my understanding was.
- 48:28Speaker 4: What do you mean you were set up?
- 48:30Speaker 9: I feel like I was set up. I feel like
- 48:32Speaker 9: I was driving to the house. I feel like I
- 48:35Speaker 9: was used from.
- 48:37Speaker 5: Me with she A sold me.
- 48:39Speaker 9: She wanted to him Dad, and I said, I'm not
- 48:43Speaker 9: the guy forty.
- 48:44Speaker 4: I never offered.
- 48:45Speaker 13: I never said anyone kills by fort.
- 48:49Speaker 4: Dad. So Tyler, I don't love me, So I'll tell
- 48:53Speaker 4: you what I murdered. I tell you right now. I
- 48:55Speaker 4: don't disagree that you may have been set up.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Tyler maintains his self defense story. However, this time he's
- 49:02Speaker 1: far more adamant about Sierra's role and everything that happened.
- 49:05Speaker 1: But there's something else Tyler wanted to speak to detectives
- 49:08Speaker 1: for that he didn't mention up front. Earlier, Tyler was
- 49:12Speaker 1: allowed a brief moment with his brother Eli, giving the
- 49:15Speaker 1: two just enough time to compare what they told police. Now,
- 49:19Speaker 1: Tyler has figured out the one major inconsistency between their stories,
- 49:23Speaker 1: something he believes will help their case.
- 49:26Speaker 9: I just I want to talk to you guys. I
- 49:30Speaker 9: didn't have to full control over that weapon, over which weapon.
- 49:35Speaker 9: That's funny too, I do believe I thro opted.
- 49:39Speaker 4: So I asked you yesterday if I had a full
- 49:41Speaker 4: control over the weapon, and just.
- 49:43Speaker 9: Think I did.
- 49:45Speaker 3: And then I even double checked again. I asked you, if, sir,
- 49:49Speaker 3: you do, I asked, and I said, so, I was
- 49:50Speaker 3: stayed in your hand the whole time, and you were
- 49:52Speaker 3: absolutely sure it was.
- 49:54Speaker 4: In your hand.
- 49:54Speaker 9: And that was a pride. That was my pride.
- 49:58Speaker 3: So how did you get the gun back in your
- 50:00Speaker 3: hands and went back and picked it up? Me?
- 50:04Speaker 4: He went back and found it.
- 50:05Speaker 15: Well like whenever I was knowing to go get the car,
- 50:09Speaker 15: I turned around and said, we're again, and I went
- 50:12Speaker 15: and grab you and put it up.
- 50:15Speaker 4: So you understand that there's independent witnesses. This is what happened, right, Tyler,
- 50:21Speaker 4: I'm going to be honest with you.
- 50:24Speaker 14: It seems like at this point that you've had some
- 50:28Speaker 14: time to think about Mohammad not only what happened, but.
- 50:33Speaker 4: Maybe some things you could tell us to try to
- 50:35Speaker 4: preserve yourself.
- 50:36Speaker 1: This was Tyler's last desperate attempt to pull himself and
- 50:40Speaker 1: his brother out of trouble. The detective Decker quickly realizes
- 50:44Speaker 1: what Tyler really wants from this interview to protect Eli
- 50:47Speaker 1: and salvage whatever future they have left, so he decignes
- 50:50Speaker 1: to give Tyler the hard truth he's been avoiding.
- 50:54Speaker 4: What you're having a.
- 50:55Speaker 3: Really hard time with right now is that brother Bond.
- 50:59Speaker 3: I've got to I've got an older one and I've
- 51:01Speaker 3: got a younger, and I'm in the middle of k
- 51:05Speaker 3: and that's what That's what's really troubling you right now
- 51:08Speaker 3: is it's your brother and your brother.
- 51:12Speaker 4: Your brother murdered somebody and you've helped and you helped
- 51:17Speaker 4: do that.
- 51:18Speaker 3: And I think that is your biggest problem, your biggest
- 51:21Speaker 3: your biggest fear right now is.
- 51:23Speaker 4: That you have You've made things pretty rough for your brother.
- 51:26Speaker 4: I know, I know what brother love is, and I've
- 51:28Speaker 4: got them.
- 51:30Speaker 14: There's a lot of things, there's a lot of things
- 51:34Speaker 14: that I would do for my brothers in a snap
- 51:38Speaker 14: of a being.
- 51:39Speaker 4: You do got a long road.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Ahead of those, So you can hear the empathy and
- 51:44Speaker 1: Detective Decker's voice. You know Sierra manipulated the brothers, but
- 51:48Speaker 1: that doesn't change the facts that the Chaffins went to
- 51:50Speaker 1: William's house on their own accord. Following this, Detective Decker
- 51:54Speaker 1: wraps up the interview with Tyler and proceeds with murder
- 51:57Speaker 1: charges against all three. As the case moves forward, Tiffany
- 52:01Speaker 1: never stops supporting her sons. She stays in contact with
- 52:04Speaker 1: both boys, hoping the truth will help them find a
- 52:06Speaker 1: way out of this. Jail calls capture a brief glimpse
- 52:09Speaker 1: into a mother caught between the children she's raised and
- 52:12Speaker 1: the reality of what they've done. Yeah, I've been trying
- 52:16Speaker 1: to video Eli for the last thirty minutes, but you'll
- 52:18Speaker 1: get into that one, so for.
- 52:20Speaker 13: Real, Hey Mom, Hey, what you're doing?
- 52:25Speaker 7: Oh?
- 52:26Speaker 6: Not much?
- 52:26Speaker 7: We only have a few minutes. I bet they'll cut
- 52:28Speaker 7: us off at night.
- 52:29Speaker 13: But do all right?
- 52:30Speaker 12: Did I wake you up?
- 52:32Speaker 9: No?
- 52:32Speaker 12: I'm doing pretty good.
- 52:34Speaker 13: I'm just hanging out.
- 52:35Speaker 5: It's fun here sometimes, but I like, honestly, I don't
- 52:39Speaker 5: think I've laughed as hard as.
- 52:40Speaker 9: I have in here.
- 52:42Speaker 7: Just listening to some of the bullshit, that's good I
- 52:45Speaker 7: like to hear that.
- 52:46Speaker 3: I like to hear that.
- 52:47Speaker 4: I really love you guys, and.
- 52:48Speaker 13: I really love all the the support, and I really
- 52:52Speaker 13: appreciate all the help.
- 52:55Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it if I didn't know what a
- 52:57Speaker 3: good boy you were.
- 52:58Speaker 9: Oh I know, Oh I know. I love you, So
- 53:03Speaker 9: you've get it.
- 53:04Speaker 7: Good night, I'll see you tomorrow.
- 53:07Speaker 13: I'll see tomorrow too. Goodbye, bye, Mama.
- 53:11Speaker 1: Tiffany would go on to support her sons until the
- 53:14Speaker 1: very end, but as the trial date approached, one of
- 53:17Speaker 1: the trios lives came to an abrupt end. In September
- 53:21Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, while being held at the San Juan
- 53:23Speaker 1: County Detention Center, Sierra suffered a severe medical emergency. The
