Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,850
This was an isolated location.
2
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:26,290
She's gone home. She's not here.
3
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,590
In this rural environment,
4
00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:36,900
to have a robbery in which
the cashiers were missing,
5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,530
this is very unusual.
6
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,880
At this point, it's all sinking in.
7
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:50,410
It's bad.
8
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:57,180
This is one of
the worst crimes I've ever seen.
9
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:21,480
Rusk sits in east Texas
10
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:26,550
in the soft rolling hills
and piney woods.
11
00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:31,750
Probably about two hours
north of Houston.
12
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:34,560
It's a type of town
with the courthouse square,
13
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:36,990
all the old shops and buildings around it.
14
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:41,560
It's really picturesque,
very, very friendly people,
15
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:45,700
you get to know most of
the people around town.
16
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,370
A lot of timber, a lot of dairies,
17
00:01:50,470 --> 00:01:52,210
and a lot of small truck farms.
18
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,580
Very peaceful.
19
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280
Not as much crime
as in other parts of the county.
20
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:03,020
In this particular crime...
21
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:12,590
...it was like the entire town
had been violated.
22
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:26,040
We lived in the suburbs of Houston
23
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:29,180
and then we moved here to rusk.
24
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,850
I love the town.
I love the smallness of it.
25
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:35,480
The safeness...
It was all there.
26
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:36,820
Nikki was in the 9th grade.
27
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,990
She was the middle child.
28
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:41,590
She was not your kid to go sit down
29
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:42,790
and play in the corner.
30
00:02:42,890 --> 00:02:45,690
She was active.
31
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:46,930
She got into everything.
32
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:48,700
She was in drill team,
33
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,600
and she was on the basketball
team, and softball.
34
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:54,230
One time, she was throwing a ball
35
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:55,940
up and down in the air,
36
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,740
and that ball went up in the air
and come down,
37
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,270
hit her right smack
in the middle of the mouth,
38
00:02:59,370 --> 00:03:01,540
knocked out her front tooth.
39
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,580
And by the time we got to her
on the field, she looked at me.
40
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,810
She says, "mom, you're embarrassing me.
41
00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:05,910
Get off field."
42
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:08,280
I just dropped.
43
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:10,050
I knew we were doomed.
44
00:03:10,150 --> 00:03:11,350
So, from that point on,
45
00:03:11,450 --> 00:03:13,990
we just played softball
and softball and softball.
46
00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:20,430
When she met Aaron Paul,
47
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:25,430
it was love at first sight, I guess.
48
00:03:25,530 --> 00:03:26,630
And that went on and off
49
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:28,940
from the 9th grade to the 12th grade,
50
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,310
and then they were together
the whole senior year.
51
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:40,150
Her senior year,
52
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:44,150
Nikki got a lot of offers
from colleges to play softball.
53
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,820
I'm telling you,
I think you throw harder
54
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,290
than some of the guys
on the boys' varsity team.
55
00:03:49,390 --> 00:03:50,520
You don't have to tell me, Aaron Paul.
56
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:51,590
I already know.
57
00:03:54,130 --> 00:03:58,130
So, um... did you think any more about
58
00:03:58,230 --> 00:04:00,270
those scholarship offers or...?
59
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:01,470
Yeah.
60
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:05,970
Yeah, okay. And...?
61
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:12,580
And... I'm gonna take bossier's.
62
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:18,550
It's not gonna that bad.
63
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:20,620
It's less than a two-hour drive.
64
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Okay, you think... okay.
65
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,000
Is that Richard?
66
00:04:33,330 --> 00:04:35,840
Hey, Richard, do you want a ride?
67
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:37,370
No, that's...
That's okay, Nikki.
68
00:04:37,470 --> 00:04:38,670
Don't worry about it.
69
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:43,940
Richard, come on.
Just get in the car.
70
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:50,080
All right. Thanks, Nikki.
71
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:54,150
Nikki was known in school,
72
00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:56,590
if you needed a ride, call Nikki.
73
00:04:56,690 --> 00:04:59,860
Nikki was always the one
that was out to help whoever.
74
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,460
Nikki would give you
the shirt off her back
75
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,200
if you needed it.
76
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:09,900
After high school,
she did go to bossier,
77
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,240
and it wasn't quite
what she wanted it to be.
78
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:16,140
And she hung up her glove.
79
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:21,680
Nikki came home from college,
80
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,920
and then Aaron Paul comes in.
81
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:26,250
It was a fairy tale.
82
00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:30,960
I mean, he proposed to her
in the middle of a parade.
83
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:33,830
They bought a house
and had planned to get married.
84
00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:38,970
They were gutting
and redoing this home,
85
00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:40,030
and he worked on the oil rigs,
86
00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:42,140
so he come and stayed at our house.
87
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Everything was rolling right
on cue like it should be.
88
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:54,050
Nikki wanted to pay
for Aaron Paul's ring.
89
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:55,180
"I want to pay for it."
90
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:58,150
This was an argument
going on between US.
91
00:05:58,250 --> 00:06:00,420
"I want to pay for his ring."
92
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120
But Nikki's never worked a day
in her life. Never.
93
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:05,230
And I'm looking at her telling her this.
94
00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:06,390
She says, "I'm just gonna get
95
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:07,790
something on the weekend and do... "
96
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,130
And she said, "it'll be fine."
97
00:06:16,670 --> 00:06:19,470
Bdj's was a convenience store
98
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:24,640
that had a little lunch counter
attached to it,
99
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:27,180
but it was somewhat isolated
100
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:30,350
from the rest of the stores
in the rusk area.
101
00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:40,730
We met Amy in church.
102
00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:43,530
Amy and Nikki become friends,
103
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,700
and that's how she got the job.
104
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:49,670
Hey, Amy.
105
00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:51,670
Thank you.
106
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:54,340
You, have no idea
how much this means to me.
107
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Nikki, don't mention it.
I'm happy to help.
108
00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:00,680
Besides, I needed the company.
109
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:04,180
Yeah, I was gonna ask,
do we get customers?
110
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:06,290
Careful what you wish for, Nikki.
111
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:10,060
Come lunchtime,
you'll wish it were this quiet.
112
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,760
Hi, Ken. Hi, Amy.
113
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:19,630
Who are you?
114
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:20,900
I'm Nikki.
115
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,310
The softball player.
That's right.
116
00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:27,410
The softball player.
She's working here now.
117
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,080
I won $10.
118
00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:33,410
Wow, that's great.
119
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:36,680
Cash or tickets?
Like I have to ask.
120
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:38,990
Tickets, please.
121
00:07:39,090 --> 00:07:43,490
I knew Kenneth
when he was late teenager,
122
00:07:43,590 --> 00:07:45,730
and then tragically was in a car wreck...
123
00:07:47,230 --> 00:07:50,660
...that left him brain damaged.
124
00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:53,930
He tried to work but had trouble
maintaining employment
125
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,870
and basically just rode
around town on his bicycle
126
00:07:57,970 --> 00:07:59,040
visiting with people
127
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:04,140
get used to him.
128
00:08:04,250 --> 00:08:05,550
He basically lives.
129
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:08,580
Someone has to make sure you're safe.
130
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:24,000
The convenience store was remote,
131
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,070
but it's a safe town.
132
00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:27,270
I knew Amy,
133
00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:30,800
and I knew the people
that owned the store.
134
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:32,470
Nothing had ever happened in our town.
135
00:08:32,570 --> 00:08:35,310
Like, nothing.
136
00:08:35,410 --> 00:08:39,580
So, I never thought twice about it.
137
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:52,890
Nikki and Aaron Paul's wedding day
138
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:55,430
had been set for October the 11th.
139
00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:58,470
Nikki was having all of
the girls in her wedding
140
00:08:58,570 --> 00:08:59,670
at our house
141
00:08:59,770 --> 00:09:02,240
taking wedding pictures
that whole weekend.
142
00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:04,800
My house looked like
a tornado had hit it.
143
00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:14,050
Hey, you. Hey.
144
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:15,350
Where you going? I have to go
145
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:16,720
help Amy close tonight.
146
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:18,650
Okay, I will probably be asleep
when you get back.
147
00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:20,250
Okay, not with those hands.
148
00:09:20,350 --> 00:09:22,260
Bye, mom. I love you.
Thank you so much.
149
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Be safe. I'll wait up.
150
00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:30,430
Thank you.
151
00:09:31,930 --> 00:09:34,500
Go to bed. Okay.
152
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,970
Aaron Paul had just
worked straight 12 hours
153
00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:38,870
and he had drove in,
154
00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:40,810
and he had been up quite a while,
155
00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:42,040
so he was tired.
156
00:09:42,140 --> 00:09:43,610
Night. You, too.
157
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,180
We're the type of parents
that we never went to bed
158
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:53,450
unless all of our kids were home.
159
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:54,620
I don't care if Nikki's 19,
160
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,190
so long as she's still living at home,
161
00:09:56,290 --> 00:09:58,860
we were gonna be awake.
162
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,760
Well, for some strange reason,
I went to sleep.
163
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,900
I dozed off and leaned over
on the side of the couch.
164
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:15,310
Come with me, and I'll show you
165
00:10:15,410 --> 00:10:16,310
how to close things up.
166
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:17,310
Okay.
167
00:10:17,410 --> 00:10:19,580
It's not exactly rocket science.
168
00:10:23,650 --> 00:10:26,220
So, at the end of the night,
169
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,760
you press these two buttons.
170
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:30,160
Drawer opens up,
171
00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:32,590
you take it out,
take the back room to count.
172
00:10:32,690 --> 00:10:33,960
You don't want anybody seeing
you counting it.
173
00:10:34,060 --> 00:10:36,730
Got it? Like...
174
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:40,000
- Hi, Ken.
- Hi, guys.
175
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:44,370
Okay, you try it.
176
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:50,210
Perfecto. you got it.
177
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:51,410
That's it?
178
00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:54,010
That's it.
179
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,380
Alright.
180
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,250
I got it.
-Thanks.
181
00:10:58,020 --> 00:10:59,620
Got any winning tickets today, Ken?
182
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,620
Only $2.
183
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:07,860
But that's enough
for two more tickets.
184
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,900
It sure is.
185
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,660
Hope you got your lucky quarter.
186
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:11,770
Thank you.
187
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:22,210
It was a typical night at work.
188
00:11:25,610 --> 00:11:28,550
And then, things got much worse.
189
00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:48,270
All of a sudden, I jumped.
190
00:11:48,370 --> 00:11:49,970
It was 11:32.
191
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,370
Nikki wasn't home.
192
00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:55,840
And I knew something was wrong.
I knew it.
193
00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:58,410
I just knew something was wrong.
194
00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:00,410
I jumped up, and I went straight
to the kitchen,
195
00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:03,420
and I tried to call her cellphone.
196
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,550
She didn't answer.
197
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:14,330
Nikki's voice: Hi, this is
Nikki. Leave a message.
198
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,730
And it was very cold-blooded,
199
00:12:16,830 --> 00:12:22,440
all the death, destruction, violation.
200
00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:24,900
This is one of the worst crimes
I've ever seen.
201
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,960
I went straight
to the convenience store.
202
00:12:47,060 --> 00:12:49,160
All the lights were on.
203
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:52,270
All the gas pumps were all on.
204
00:12:52,370 --> 00:12:55,070
Everything was all on.
205
00:12:55,170 --> 00:12:58,670
Nikki's car was there,
but I didn't see Amy's car.
206
00:12:58,770 --> 00:13:00,170
Nikki?
207
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:07,650
Nikki?
208
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:08,950
Amy?
209
00:13:28,270 --> 00:13:30,200
Todd!
210
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:33,240
Have you seen Amy?
211
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:35,310
No! Have you seen Nikki?
212
00:13:35,410 --> 00:13:36,440
No.
213
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,980
I called and I called
and nobody answered.
214
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Maybe they're at that house
that Nikki's fixing up.
215
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:46,150
Unh-unh.
216
00:13:46,250 --> 00:13:48,090
No, they wouldn't have
left the store like this.
217
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:52,660
How long have you been here?
218
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,690
Just a couple minutes.
219
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,730
They were supposed to close
the store an hour ago.
220
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:02,240
Amy's husband just sort of had
a blank look on his face,
221
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:03,870
and I guess he realized that,
222
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:06,110
"okay, there's more to it than this."
223
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:12,950
At this point,
I'm looking I'm looking to see
224
00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:14,750
if there's jewelry because my daughter
225
00:14:14,850 --> 00:14:18,250
never went anywhere without earrings.
226
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:20,350
Her jewelry, her necklaces or something.
227
00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:25,260
I'm looking to see if there's
some type of a scuffle.
228
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,590
Nothing.
229
00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:34,130
I never noticed that the the box
was gone from the cash register.
230
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Amy's husband did.
231
00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:38,140
Then it hit me.
232
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,210
I went straight to the phone.
233
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:42,540
I remember telling my husband
"she's gone.
234
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,910
She's not here at this point.
235
00:14:44,010 --> 00:14:45,780
And it's all sinking in.
Something...
236
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,680
You know, it's bad."
237
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:52,950
The Texas rangers are called in
238
00:14:53,050 --> 00:14:57,960
when local authorities don't
have the manpower, resources,
239
00:14:58,060 --> 00:15:00,760
or the experience
to handle some of the cases
240
00:15:00,860 --> 00:15:05,470
that might come up in a more
rural or small area like this.
241
00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:07,430
The cherokee county
sheriff's department called
242
00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:09,040
and requested my assistance.
243
00:15:10,770 --> 00:15:12,170
Well, I got to the crime scene,
244
00:15:12,270 --> 00:15:14,870
made a survey there in the store.
245
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:18,180
Two clerks were missing.
246
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,580
I noticed that the cash drawer
was missing from the register.
247
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,050
The security camera
was pulled down from its mount
248
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:29,120
and hanging by a wire from the ceiling,
249
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:31,260
very much indicative of a robbery.
250
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:35,160
In this rural environment,
251
00:15:35,260 --> 00:15:38,600
we may have a robbery or
a theft from time to time,
252
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:43,000
but to have a robbery in which
the cashiers were missing
253
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:44,340
and believed to have been kidnapped,
254
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,270
this is very unusual.
255
00:15:47,370 --> 00:15:49,040
Anything you can think of?
256
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:50,310
It wasn't long.
257
00:15:50,410 --> 00:15:52,450
She only worked here
for about three months.
258
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:53,410
Who's bike?
259
00:15:53,510 --> 00:15:54,450
It's Kenneth's.
260
00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:59,350
Kenneth vandever.
He's is a local man,
261
00:15:59,450 --> 00:16:02,960
he's, touched.
262
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:04,260
Touched how?
263
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,230
He was in a car accident.
264
00:16:06,330 --> 00:16:08,360
He's got a brain injury.
265
00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:09,930
He's harmless.
266
00:16:10,030 --> 00:16:13,300
He's diminished mentally.
267
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,030
He would not hurt them.
268
00:16:17,140 --> 00:16:19,870
Well, he's part of this somehow.
269
00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:21,110
They all are.
270
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,220
We know that both Nikki and Amy
are missing
271
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,420
as well as Amy's vehicle,
272
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,590
so we've got a bolo out on the vehicle.
273
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:39,390
Kenneth vandever was also missing.
274
00:16:39,490 --> 00:16:42,300
We've got multiple search units out,
275
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,730
both ground search and aerial
search from dps helicopters.
276
00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:58,640
By this point in time,
dps was coming in,
277
00:16:58,750 --> 00:17:01,050
but nobody's telling US anything,
278
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:03,750
but I could hear scanners,
279
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,950
and I knew to try to stay close
to the one cop car
280
00:17:07,050 --> 00:17:09,460
that was pulled up in there.
281
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Did they find anything?
Is she okay?
282
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:13,190
What happened? I don't know.
283
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:14,930
Dps helicopter en route.
284
00:17:15,030 --> 00:17:17,160
Estimated arrival 00:40 hours.
285
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:21,130
All units, county route. 2434.
286
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,340
Reports female, apparent gunshot wound.
287
00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:31,810
911 calls came in from some residents.
288
00:17:31,910 --> 00:17:33,750
The homeowners called and reported
289
00:17:33,850 --> 00:17:35,820
that a young lady
who had been severely injured
290
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,180
was there and needed help.
291
00:17:38,790 --> 00:17:39,950
N-No.
292
00:17:40,050 --> 00:17:41,750
It's Nikki.
293
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:43,160
We don't know her status.
294
00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:44,890
Emts are on the way.
295
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:47,260
What about Amy?
296
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:49,230
I don't know.
297
00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:52,200
And they said she's been found.
She's been shot.
298
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:53,200
My word.
299
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,610
That's a parent's nightmare.
300
00:18:02,610 --> 00:18:06,350
I hit the concrete.
I was screaming.
301
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:23,060
When the officers arrived
at the scene where Nikki was,
302
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,500
they found her on the front porch.
303
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,670
She had collapsed
after knocking on the door,
304
00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:29,600
banging on the door and asking for help.
305
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,410
She had an obvious gunshot
wound to her back,
306
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:33,870
was bleeding profusely.
307
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:38,850
The priority was saving her life.
308
00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:40,210
They called for air ambulance
309
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:42,180
and transported her out of the county
310
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320
to emergency surgery in another town.
311
00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:03,870
I remember getting into the hospital.
312
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,080
I remember people flying around me
313
00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:12,550
every which way doing this, doing that.
314
00:19:12,650 --> 00:19:15,110
Ivs and taking x-rays.
315
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,120
People were moving so fast.
316
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:25,760
Then I can remember the first time
317
00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:30,000
that my mom and my fiancĂș
came into the room,
318
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,330
and I still had not
gone back to surgery.
319
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,870
I just broke down.
320
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:46,950
I still remember telling her,
321
00:19:47,050 --> 00:19:49,650
"don't...
We ain't got time to cry.
322
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:50,980
We got to fight this."
323
00:19:53,350 --> 00:19:56,820
And they brought in
a whole team and did surgery.
324
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,460
I had a collapsed lung,
325
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,990
and my ribs on the left side were broken.
326
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:05,130
The wadding from the bullet
was still stuck in my back,
327
00:20:05,230 --> 00:20:07,370
so they had to remove
that clean all that out.
328
00:20:07,470 --> 00:20:11,200
And it had taken away
all the muscle of my scapula.
329
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:12,770
So they had to go in and clean all that
330
00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:14,710
and get all the debris out of it.
331
00:20:14,810 --> 00:20:17,210
The surgeon that performed
the surgery had walked out
332
00:20:17,310 --> 00:20:18,610
and told my parents that
333
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:23,980
the muscle that was built up
around my scapula and in my back
334
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,790
is what helped save my life,
335
00:20:25,890 --> 00:20:27,820
for the bullet did not
go all the way through.
336
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,090
It got lodged.
337
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:30,990
So, I think that playing softball,
338
00:20:31,090 --> 00:20:32,090
that's the only sport I did
339
00:20:32,190 --> 00:20:34,190
it helped build the muscle up.
340
00:20:40,530 --> 00:20:42,270
Hey, it's okay. It's okay.
It's okay, Nikki.
341
00:20:42,370 --> 00:20:44,000
- Baby, mommy's here.
- I'm here.
342
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:49,380
That's our girl. I'm so sorry.
343
00:20:51,380 --> 00:20:53,880
Amy and Kenneth?
344
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:55,210
Did they find them?
345
00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:00,350
Um... I don't know.
346
00:21:03,090 --> 00:21:05,060
Nikki.
347
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,490
What happened?
348
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,660
After Nikki come out of icu,
349
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:13,770
she just sit up in the bed,
350
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:15,570
and she went to tell him
the whole story.
351
00:21:40,460 --> 00:21:43,060
We're about 15 minutes from closing.
352
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,000
We have already taken out
the trash for the night,
353
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,400
and Amy and I were talking about dinner
354
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,840
and what we're gonna eat
and that sort of stuff.
355
00:21:51,940 --> 00:21:55,510
And Amy had walked over to the coolers
356
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:57,680
to look at stuff that was in there
357
00:21:57,780 --> 00:22:00,850
that she was gonna take home that night.
358
00:22:00,950 --> 00:22:04,020
Kenneth was sitting in the booth
359
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:06,750
that was kind of
on the other side of the store,
360
00:22:06,850 --> 00:22:08,850
and I was standing behind the register.
361
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,660
Where I was standing at,
362
00:22:14,730 --> 00:22:16,800
I was able to kind of see
the whole store,
363
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,300
and in my side vision,
364
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,240
I had noticed these two figures.
365
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:25,770
They were wearing masks,
366
00:22:25,870 --> 00:22:28,110
and one of them was holding a gun
367
00:22:28,210 --> 00:22:30,980
and pointed it at me and hollering,
368
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,410
"give me the money.
Give me the money."
369
00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:36,120
So I kind of stood there in shock.
370
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,620
It was like time kind of froze
for a few seconds.
371
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,820
We just closed the register down,
372
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,090
and I know there wasn't much
in the register,
373
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:48,460
so I looked over to Amy
374
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,330
and was kind of in shock,
like, "what do I do?"
375
00:22:51,470 --> 00:22:53,400
That's when they realized
that I was not
376
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,000
the only one in the store.
377
00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:57,800
Get your ass over here!
378
00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:06,710
Amy had stepped forward
and punched the button
379
00:23:06,810 --> 00:23:09,220
on the register to let it open,
380
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,550
and one of them
pulled out a money bag
381
00:23:11,650 --> 00:23:13,920
and told her to load it up.
382
00:23:15,490 --> 00:23:17,460
While she was loading the money up,
383
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,860
Kenneth didn't really understand
what they were doing.
384
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,530
Get up, Ken!
385
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:24,860
They hollered at him,
but called Kenneth by his name.
386
00:23:25,930 --> 00:23:28,070
I knew that them calling him by name,
387
00:23:28,170 --> 00:23:31,770
that these guys are from around here.
388
00:23:31,870 --> 00:23:33,540
They start motioning,
pointing the gun at US
389
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,770
and telling US that we need to go.
390
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,980
"Let's go."
391
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,610
So pleading with them,
392
00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:38,940
trying to get them to take my vehicle,
393
00:23:39,050 --> 00:23:40,010
take whatever they want to take.
394
00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:42,580
Just leave US at the store.
395
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,920
They were not having it.
396
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:50,220
All three of US start walking
out towards the front door.
397
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,020
I was really praying
that somebody was gonna
398
00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:54,730
pull into the store, and nobody did.
399
00:23:56,700 --> 00:24:00,130
They tell US that they want
the keys to Amy's car,
400
00:24:00,230 --> 00:24:05,070
and then they pointed the gun
at US and told US to get in.
401
00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:07,910
Come on, let's go!
402
00:24:08,010 --> 00:24:11,510
I knew that they looked familiar,
403
00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:14,010
one of them had a ski mask
that covered the whole face,
404
00:24:14,110 --> 00:24:16,080
and the other guy...
405
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:18,220
...i could see his eyes.
406
00:24:19,650 --> 00:24:21,490
I knew I knew him.
407
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:24,060
Yeah, you know who I am, Nikki.
408
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,090
He pulled off his bandanna.
409
00:24:27,260 --> 00:24:28,930
It was beunka.
410
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:34,830
Beunka went to my high school.
411
00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:38,000
He played football with my fiancĂș.
412
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:39,840
I was not friends with them
on a day-to-day basis,
413
00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:41,270
but I knew about him,
414
00:24:41,370 --> 00:24:46,180
and I knew that
once he took off his mask
415
00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:49,780
and he revealed himself completely to US,
416
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,320
he doesn't plan on just letting US go.
417
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:02,600
They stop in a pasture
418
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:07,370
that is two to three miles
off of highway 69.
419
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:15,070
There were woods surrounding it.
420
00:25:18,510 --> 00:25:22,310
This was an isolated location.
421
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,350
It was a location where no one
could be seen or heard
422
00:25:26,450 --> 00:25:28,090
unless someone just came up on.
423
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:39,870
Get in the trunk.
424
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,640
Get in the trunk!
425
00:25:44,740 --> 00:25:47,770
Beunka decided that Amy and Kenneth
426
00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:49,040
were gonna get in the trunk
427
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:52,140
and I was gonna stay out of the trunk.
428
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,450
I was left with both of them alone,
429
00:25:54,550 --> 00:25:56,080
and I knew in the back of my mind
430
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:57,580
that it was probably gonna be trouble.
431
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,540
There's something
I want before we go further.
432
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080
No.
433
00:26:27,180 --> 00:26:29,450
S-St...
434
00:26:48,370 --> 00:26:50,940
Beunka raped me.
435
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,340
It was awful.
436
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:59,450
But I knew that if I want to survive
437
00:26:59,550 --> 00:27:01,980
and if I wanted to get out of this,
438
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,190
that I had to just
close my eyes and let it be
439
00:27:06,290 --> 00:27:07,350
and let it get over with.
440
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,390
And that's what I did.
441
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:34,550
After beunka raped me...
Hurry up.
442
00:27:34,650 --> 00:27:36,820
...we go back to the car.
443
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,050
He opens up the trunk... out of the car!
444
00:27:39,150 --> 00:27:41,450
...and Kenneth and Amy climb out,
445
00:27:41,550 --> 00:27:43,860
and it just kept escalating.
446
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,620
This is crazy.
447
00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:47,790
Tell them we need to go home!
448
00:27:47,890 --> 00:27:50,700
Stay over there! No!
449
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,030
- Stay there!
- Get on the ground!
450
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:53,730
Face that way!
451
00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:55,570
- Face that way!
- Stop! Don't touch him!
452
00:27:55,670 --> 00:27:57,300
Put your hands behind your back.
453
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,310
Put your hands behind your back.
454
00:28:01,410 --> 00:28:03,910
Beunka looks at me and Amy, and he says,
455
00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:05,440
"we're gonna have to tie y'all up
456
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:07,510
because y'all probably
will get somewhere
457
00:28:07,610 --> 00:28:09,180
before we get to our buddies,
458
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,350
and we can't take that risk."
459
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:13,150
They start pulling out stuff
460
00:28:13,250 --> 00:28:14,450
like they're gonna try to find a vine
461
00:28:14,550 --> 00:28:15,990
or something to tie US up with.
462
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,330
Just tie US up with our shirts.
463
00:28:20,430 --> 00:28:22,800
Take your shirts off.
Take them off now!
464
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,360
Hurry up!
465
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,970
I'm thinking if he ties up their shirts,
466
00:28:27,070 --> 00:28:29,640
then I could probably
get out of it if I had to.
467
00:28:29,740 --> 00:28:31,040
If I had a chance to run,
468
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:33,440
then we can untie ourselves
with our shirts.
469
00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:36,080
- Stay there!
- It's night, and I...
470
00:28:36,180 --> 00:28:37,780
They didn't tie Kenneth up.
471
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,240
- Let me go home!
- Hurry up!
472
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:41,710
They told US we needed to face that way.
473
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:43,380
That way we can't see
where they're going.
474
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,120
Shut up.
475
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:48,920
Shut up with all that crying!
I don't want to hear it.
476
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:52,190
Please. Please,
I need to take my medicine.
477
00:28:52,290 --> 00:28:54,060
Shut up! Shut up!
I want to go home.
478
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,230
- Shut up!
- Amy.
479
00:28:55,330 --> 00:28:56,530
- Kenneth!
- Shut up!
480
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:58,430
Kenneth!
481
00:28:58,530 --> 00:28:59,870
Don't point the gun at me!
482
00:28:59,970 --> 00:29:01,100
I'll shoot you!
483
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,340
Kenneth!
484
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,470
Beunka starts hollering,
485
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,040
"we didn't hit anybody, did we?
We di...
486
00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:11,140
We're just trying to scare y'all.
487
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,810
We didn't hit anybody, did we?"
488
00:29:12,910 --> 00:29:14,580
Nobody got hit.
Nobody got it.
489
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,350
Shut up! It's dark,
490
00:29:17,450 --> 00:29:18,920
and I need to go home.
491
00:29:19,020 --> 00:29:20,590
I will shoot you!
492
00:29:20,690 --> 00:29:23,260
And next thing I know,
the gun goes off again.
493
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,560
- Amy!
- Kenneth!
494
00:29:26,130 --> 00:29:28,990
Ken, no!
495
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,910
Why did you shoot me?
496
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,480
Kenneth!
497
00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:45,640
Amy!
498
00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:48,280
You shot me!
499
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:50,180
You sh...
500
00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:59,160
Just breathe.
501
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,140
I thought my arm was blown off.
502
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,270
I thought half my back was gone.
503
00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:17,140
I couldn't breathe.
I was gasping for air,
504
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,350
and I can remember looking at Amy,
505
00:30:22,450 --> 00:30:24,220
and she was on the ground, too.
506
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:30,090
You dead? You dead?
507
00:30:30,190 --> 00:30:31,460
Say something or I'm gonna
blow your head off!
508
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,560
Wait, wait! I'm talking!
509
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,130
It was like all the dirt
and everything
510
00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:44,140
just blew up around her.
511
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,740
I got really quiet and really still.
512
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680
Something came over me
where I needed to play dead.
513
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,380
Nikki, you dead?
514
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,490
Yeah, she's dead.
515
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:16,270
After they walked off,
516
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:17,840
I must've blacked out.
517
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:27,380
Whenever I came to,
518
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,050
I remember not being able to see
519
00:31:30,150 --> 00:31:32,420
anything directly in front of me.
520
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:38,060
I was laying in ants,
521
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,290
and I can feel them
just crawling all over.
522
00:31:44,130 --> 00:31:48,200
And it's crazy because I guess...
523
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:51,000
My fighting mode kicked in.
524
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:54,940
I rolled over to a tree,
525
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,410
and I used the tree to help me stand up
526
00:31:57,510 --> 00:32:00,880
because my hands were still tied.
527
00:32:00,980 --> 00:32:04,750
Once I got stood up,
I was able to untie myself.
528
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:10,890
I never looked back at Amy or Kenneth.
529
00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:15,690
I just figured they were gone.
530
00:32:17,930 --> 00:32:20,900
So, I took off walking
up the same road
531
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,770
that we had pulled down.
532
00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:28,670
I'm looking down this long, dark road,
533
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:31,280
and I see lights,
534
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:34,250
and I'm thinking,
"there's where I need to go.
535
00:32:34,350 --> 00:32:36,450
I need to go there
because I can get some help."
536
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:40,220
Felt like my left arm is blown off.
537
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,360
So I'm walking, holding my arm,
gasping for air the whole time.
538
00:32:44,460 --> 00:32:46,730
I can barely breathe.
539
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,600
I was thinking nothing but surviving.
540
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:54,700
I finally get to a house,
and I crawl up on the porch,
541
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,900
and I kind of knock...
Like, banged on the doors
542
00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:00,640
as much as what I could.
543
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,580
I just fell across the porch.
544
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,180
I couldn't move, but it was relief.
545
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:16,690
I knew then that I made it.
546
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:27,230
That's the last thing
I remember.
547
00:33:27,330 --> 00:33:28,670
Then I woke up here.
548
00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:30,740
I remember being in icu
549
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,610
and the detectives coming in
and talking to me.
550
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,210
Hi, Nikki.
551
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:40,010
I'm ranger flores.
552
00:33:40,110 --> 00:33:41,380
Can I speak with you for a moment?
553
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,780
Did you guys find Amy and Kenneth?
554
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Amy's alive.
555
00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:59,600
I can remember finding out
then that Amy was alive.
556
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:02,630
And I argued like,
"no, she's not."
557
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,940
I can remember her coming in
558
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,140
and seeing me in the icu.
559
00:34:17,150 --> 00:34:19,180
My god. You're alive.
560
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:24,120
It was relief knowing
that she made it, as well.
561
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,200
Shots were fired.
562
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:36,030
Both young ladies collapsed.
563
00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:40,840
At that point, both young ladies
thought the other one was dead.
564
00:34:44,910 --> 00:34:48,910
The two suspects then leave
in the vehicle.
565
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:53,390
Nikki passes out.
566
00:34:53,490 --> 00:34:57,620
Amy got up and went
one direction for help.
567
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:02,330
Later, Nikki got up and went
a different direction for help.
568
00:35:02,430 --> 00:35:06,160
And again, both young ladies
believe the other one was dead.
569
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:09,400
Kenneth?
570
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:32,160
Kenneth was a very
kind-hearted individual.
571
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:33,430
He was the type of person
572
00:35:33,530 --> 00:35:36,460
that tried to get along with everybody.
573
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,930
It's been devastating
on the vandever family.
574
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,970
We need your help, Nikki.
575
00:35:45,070 --> 00:35:46,470
Amy was able to give US a description,
576
00:35:46,570 --> 00:35:48,370
but not an identification.
577
00:35:50,540 --> 00:35:52,710
She said she thought
they went to rusk high.
578
00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:54,280
The principal gave US those.
579
00:36:03,390 --> 00:36:04,560
That's him.
580
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:06,260
That's beunka.
581
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:10,660
You sure?
582
00:36:11,530 --> 00:36:13,570
Yeah, I'm positive.
583
00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:15,500
He removed his mask,
584
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,540
so I knew I knew him.
585
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,040
The other one stayed masked
the whole time.
586
00:36:21,140 --> 00:36:23,010
His eyes were pretty distinguished.
587
00:36:23,110 --> 00:36:26,550
Like, I... those eyes,
I can remember them.
588
00:36:26,650 --> 00:36:28,350
When I saw the picture,
589
00:36:28,450 --> 00:36:30,180
I knew that was him.
590
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,620
It's Richard.
591
00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:34,450
Is that Richard?
592
00:36:35,790 --> 00:36:37,520
Hey, Richard, do you want a ride?
593
00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:40,590
Richard Cobb was about
a year younger than me,
594
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,830
and he went to the same school,
595
00:36:42,930 --> 00:36:44,660
and I was friends with his older brother,
596
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,570
so I saw him quite frequently.
597
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,200
Richard Cobb.
598
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:55,710
Nikki was able
to pick out the two suspects.
599
00:36:55,810 --> 00:36:58,940
They each had a criminal history.
600
00:36:59,050 --> 00:37:02,650
Cobb had previously stolen a vehicle
601
00:37:02,750 --> 00:37:05,150
from a church parking lot.
602
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:08,820
Adams had a juvenile history,
603
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,160
and now police were on the trail
of Adams and Cobb for murder.
604
00:37:28,570 --> 00:37:31,810
There was an individual that contacts,
605
00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:33,810
the local justice of the peace
606
00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:40,320
and said that Adams and Cobb are
together at this person's house.
607
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,860
And that's where the police
found Adams and Cobb.
608
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:52,630
Adams submits to the arrest.
Cobb resists.
609
00:37:52,730 --> 00:37:55,230
They're both taken into custody
and taken
610
00:37:55,330 --> 00:37:58,400
to the cherokee county sheriff's office,
611
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:01,940
then, an interesting sequence
of events develops
612
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,640
as far as interrogation.
613
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,550
Richard Cobb invokes
his rights to remain silent.
614
00:38:13,550 --> 00:38:17,060
He's taken back to his cell.
615
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,620
They then get beunka Adams.
616
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,160
He waives his rights
and gives a statement.
617
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,230
Adams admits to being there,
618
00:38:59,330 --> 00:39:03,770
being involved in the robbery,
kidnapping, the girls.
619
00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:06,570
He did not confess
to the sexual assault.
620
00:39:06,670 --> 00:39:09,440
He claimed it was consensual,
621
00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:11,310
but he still tells enough
622
00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:15,210
to make himself a party
to murder of Ken vandever.
623
00:39:15,310 --> 00:39:18,520
But he didn't fully admit his role
624
00:39:18,620 --> 00:39:23,690
then, Adams is taken back to his cell.
625
00:39:23,790 --> 00:39:25,190
They take him where he passes
626
00:39:25,290 --> 00:39:28,960
in front of Richard Cobb's cell.
627
00:39:29,060 --> 00:39:31,430
A short time later,
628
00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:33,970
Cobb sends a note to a jailer
629
00:39:34,070 --> 00:39:36,500
that he wants to speak to the ranger,
630
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,100
and then he gives a full confession.
631
00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:24,380
When their trials were
set and we went to court,
632
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,050
it felt like a never-ending process.
633
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:31,890
I was on stand it seemed like a long time.
634
00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:34,890
I was okay being in the same
room with both of them.
635
00:40:34,990 --> 00:40:37,530
I don't think I was nervous.
636
00:40:37,630 --> 00:40:42,400
I wanted them to listen to me and hear
637
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,440
that I was there talking
and they did not win that night.
638
00:41:01,450 --> 00:41:04,160
Both of them received the death penalty.
639
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:09,130
Adams was executed in April of 2012.
640
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:12,430
Cobb was executed in April of 2013.
641
00:41:15,530 --> 00:41:16,900
I know there's a recovery process,
642
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,970
and I know that there's ways
that everyone has to do things.
643
00:41:20,070 --> 00:41:24,510
But for the first couple
of years in my life,
644
00:41:24,610 --> 00:41:31,120
I was very nervous
staying at home alone.
645
00:41:31,180 --> 00:41:33,550
I would sleep with a gun beside me.
646
00:41:33,650 --> 00:41:36,250
Of course, over time, has gotten better.
647
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,920
I don't live in that night anymore.
648
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:42,760
I haven't allowed that night
to overpower my whole life.
649
00:41:44,330 --> 00:41:47,470
Nikki's had a tough life
ever since this happened,
650
00:41:47,530 --> 00:41:50,900
but she continues to keep going.
651
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,470
And she got married to Aaron Paul.
652
00:41:54,570 --> 00:41:56,470
We kept the date to get married,
653
00:41:56,580 --> 00:41:58,310
we did get married on that day.
654
00:42:01,050 --> 00:42:06,220
I have two beautiful children today.
655
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,890
The good lord has blessed US.
656
00:42:09,990 --> 00:42:14,060
Things may not have went in life
the way that I had set out,
657
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,060
but I'm happy where I'm at today.
658
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,300
People want to relate me
to being a victim.
659
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,170
And I was a victim that night.
660
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:27,840
But I also like to tell them
that I went into it as a victim,
661
00:42:27,940 --> 00:42:30,410
and I came out of survivor.
