Okay. >> Uh and then y'all can start bringing um suspects that not necessarily in that order to start doing the interviews there. >> Okay. Because once I once I get the point done, then y'all can start. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Has anybody not? >> Not yet. I don't have anything to tell them. >> I'm I'm asking out ignorance.

Um, so that is your mom and dad's house where you live, correct? And what's your wife's name? You know what? Okay. Do you want to tell me what happened? I think it's important. I I was not doing >> What was it telling you? If something came in there, what was it telling you? Just drugs. Okay. Just tell us what you can remember. What happened? You're the only one that can go on the bike. Just start one step at a time. We know you you got home from work. What time did you get home from work? Doesn't have to be exact. So then what happened? Was she awake or were you sleep? Was she awake or was she asleep? >> Do you not know or you just refusing the answer? Okay. >> Are you not going to tell us what happened? >> Well, that's the answer question. Figured you'd love her. You might want to tell us she do something bad to you or something. She deserved that. She's not deserving of it. She didn't do anything bad to you. Misto control. that you can recall. Can you recall what happened when you got home? >> What is this? What? >> What the bag? It's just to preserve any potential evidence that might be on them. Did you say anything? Did you ask why? Did she ask you to stop? Did she tell you she loved you? What did she say? Jerry, this is on you to decide how this goes. It's not a question. I've already told you that. It's not a question that you did it and the manner in which you did it. What matters is the why. What happened? You said you're you're on drugs. Okay. But that doesn't that doesn't tell us what happened in that room. If you're not going to answer any of our questions and you're not going to tell us, then we won't waste your time or hours. But it's our job to tell all sides of the story. She's not here to speak, but you are. And you can tell us what happened from your from your side of things. And we want to hear what happened. I just I just lost control. I don't know what's going on. We're not here to judge you. We're just here to find out what happened. Drugs do make people do crazy things. You're not the first and you won't be the last, unfortunately. and you're not in your right mind and you're not the same person that you are when you're on drugs versus when you're not on drugs. It changes you. We're not here to tell you that Jared is a bad guy or a bad person. We just want to find out what happened. Could she say something or do something that set you off? Was she laying in bed? Was she asleep? So, she was awake when you got home and tell us what happened. lost my way. >> With that being said, what do you think that you should do? Do you know the Bible? Do you know the scriptures about asking for forgiveness and repenting? God absolutely will forgive you if you ask him. Look into your heart and your pet. But that doesn't mean that you don't have to take ownership for what you did. And he still commands you to follow the law of the land. What's up everybody? I'm very sorry. Sorry. I failed you. >> Help us understand. Tell us why you're sorry. Tell us what occurred for this tragic ending to happen. What happened? What what was going on? >> Just drugs. And you got to stay away from drugs. >> Well, I understand that. So, you did it. And tell us what happened after you took it. Drugs just make you go crazy. It makes you lose sight. Makes you not be able to see straight. >> All right. So, what did it make you do this morning? Last night. Did she catch you using drugs? So why would you do something like that? >> [snorts] >> This drugs are just taking control of you. I understand that. You keep saying that, but I want to know. >> You understand that part. You don't understand what happened in your house. >> What happened? Here's your deal. There's there's overwhelming evidence that would convict you at a trial. DNA, I mean, it's not a question that you did it right now. And I'm going to be frank, is your one shot to show any kind of remorse and ask for mercy. And I will tell you the way it looks to juries when you sit here and you stonewall and you refuse to answer is a lack of remorse and a lack of taking ownership and they don't like that. So if you're considering your own well-being in this situation after having murdered your wife and >> I just want to tell the people I'm really sorry. She didn't deserve that. Nobody ever does. Nobody deserves. >> You got to tell them why you did it. >> Saying I'm sorry, but refusing to talk and take ownership of what you did. That's not good enough. I just lost my way. I lost my way with God. >> That's clear. We're not asking for generalities. We're not asking about your personal relationship with God. Obviously, it's a struggle. It's a struggle for everybody. That's not a question. Nobody has a perfect relationship with him. But we're going to ask you one last time what happened. And if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But your opportunity to have any kind of looking like a good guy of this is what I did and I'm sorry and I can't believe I did it. That door is closing on you. Look, I didn't do it. >> You can't You can't even keep it straight for anybody. >> I know. What would you tell her if she was sitting right next to you now? If she's just looking right at you, you're just going to say, "I'm sorry." You're not going to give an explanation as to why you're looking at her in the eye, and you can't tell her why you did this. Why? Why did you decide to do this to her? There you go. And I didn't have I'm crazy. I was just up too long. So what did she say to make you mad to do that to her? She had to say something to be that mad to do what you did. That's why I don't know. Something something that controlled me. >> Okay. So, it did so it made you do what? >> Something on >> What did it make you do? >> On the screen. It was telling me. >> Okay. >> Telling me what >> what did it tell you to do? >> It would like stop time. Every time I would do something, it would stop. >> Okay. Time was stop. I was being forced like none of my free will. Okay. Forced to do what? >> Forced to just walk. Forced to go. >> Okay. What did it What did it force you to do to her? What did it force you to do to your wife? Did it force me to what? To kill her. Why? What did it tell you to do to her? Did it tell you how to kill her? >> I Yes. >> So, how did you kill her? Tell us how you killed her. >> I I don't know because it wasn't It wasn't It wasn't Jared. It wasn't >> Okay. So, it wasn't Jared. It's somebody that was you think that caused you to do it. What did he cause you to do to her? You said it caused you to kill her, but tell us how it caused you to kill her. What did you do to her? Jared, what did you do to her? Okay. But what did you not mean to do? What did you do to her? >> What did you do to her? >> Tell us. Get it out. What did you do here? Let me tell you. What did you do? >> What you saw? >> What did I see? Tell me what I saw. I'm asking you. >> That's what I do. >> And made you cut her head off. And what did you use to do that with? >> Where did you get the knife from? >> It was put in my hand by her. >> By her? >> Mhm. >> Was it knife something that was already in your house? >> Yes. >> So tell me what happened then during that time. She was she up when you got home? Was she awake when you got home? Did y'all talk? >> Okay. Do you remember what y'all talked about? we were just talking normally and then she turned on the the TV and that's when that started it it made me follow >> How long were you home before this happened? How long were you home? If I lived the rough way, She didn't do anything to cause it. Is that what you're saying? Tell me. I don't know. I'm asking the questions here trying to trying to figure it out. Did she say anything to you? Was she pleading? Did she tell you don't do this? Stop. What did she say? >> She said stop. >> Jared, please go through it with me. Just go through with it and just tell me exactly what happened soon as you got home. We know you can recall it. You're telling us but in pieces. >> I got home at 5. She turn on the screen. When she turn the screen like it would happen. It was like I was being controlled by [clears throat] and it was just like she was she was telling me to she [snorts] was telling me to stop and uh the TV the TV when I saw the the numbers It just made me fall in love. Okay, continue. It's like, you know how when you're working you lose track of time? >> Yeah. It was time and if it did time would stop and I just just turned the TV on. You saw all this stuff on TV and what did you do? What did that with us? What did it tell you? >> What you did? Finish it up. You told me to break. She th Okay. So, what happened next? Did you follow through with that? Yeah. Okay. Well, she's fully closed. She's on the floor. So tell us what happened. You say after y'all you raped her, you did what else? We fought. Were you fighting because she you were trying to rape her or it was afterwards? How did the fight start? How did a knife get introduced? How walk us through that. >> We got into a fight. She grabbed the knife. So, you took the knife from her or what? >> Yes. >> And then start fighting. Did you cut her head off while she was still alive? >> Yeah. Like if I didn't listen, it would make me it would make me throw up. It would make me hurt. It would make me hear a lot of noise. It would make me I won't turn the wrong way. And I stopped going that way. He was talking to me. This is G and I didn't want to just come coming and now little scar. There were other stabbings on her body. Did you do that after you cut her head off or before? >> Oh, >> before or afterwards, just >> You just told me before. >> Did she injure you at all?
