Yeah, I don't know what's going on. It >> was all very, very unexpected. >> This is 13-year-old Levi Carte. In just a few days, he'll convince detectives he's nothing more than a frightened little boy, point the investigation toward his own brother, and help build a version of events that never happened. For 10 days, it works until detectives uncover the monster he truly is. >> Believe this has been murdered. So, camera on a lot of blood around pillows over her face. Um, halfway naked. >> A woman was murdered, right? >> I mean, I'm a I'm a young boy. >> I know. So, I'm just trying >> and sometimes young boys make mistakes. I'm not fibbing. >> I just mean like because my brother is literally well, my twin. >> I think something just stupid happened. Be honest with you. I don't think that murder is stupid. >> Additional information that the door was open when they when he arrived on scene and head is covered with a pillow. >> Car 9 John 12 a squad run 6830 Montgomery Road for a medical alarm from a pendant activation. No contact 9 John 12. Everything changes on February 2nd, 2025 when officers are called to a quiet home after a family member makes a devastating discovery. Yeah, go ahead. Get it out and we'll do some confirmation stuff here. >> Is this confirmed? >> Hey, I don't know if he believes that she's been raped and murdered. So, camera on. It's always been on since I hit my eyes. Hold reg. >> Just try to touch as least as you guys can. Do what you guys got to do. >> Yeah. No. All right. So, you got blood. >> Did he Did he cover her up? >> I don't know. >> The cat the dispatch said that he found her with a pillow over top of her. >> I don't know about peroxide and cleaning chemicals. That's different. >> A lot of cleaning chemicals. >> Bismol. You should drink it. >> I I don't know. >> Well, let me go. You want You want the monitor? >> We have rigger. >> Okay. >> As long as you guys are comfortable, we'll do this as a as a group thing here. Okay. >> Whatever you >> I don't know that that's going to be necessary. I mean, the corner's office might want confirmation. I don't >> probably It's not going to hurt anything. We can we got we've got four. We can do limb leads and confirm. >> I don't know. Let's let them do all of that. But we have blood. >> Yeah. >> And that that's an iPad. I don't know if there's a note or >> All right. I'm going to call >> I mean if she poured a bunch of chemicals on her pillow and did that herself or I don't >> Okay. What is that? >> But that was probably up here. All right. >> Yeah, you might. >> We're going to leave this to you guys. We're going to do uh >> we're going to confirm. I mean, we have rigger. So, >> uh >> but we're just going to put our l our leads on the lens. >> Confirm it. >> Okay. >> Print it. We'll give you a copy of that. >> No more people here. >> No. Yeah. As least as possible. I don't. >> Yeah, let's hold it because I don't want to put anything there. >> I stepped right there and right here and this is that's it. Um I touched here. >> At first, detectives can't rule anything out, but the scene in front of them refuses to fit a simple explanation. Before detectives know how 64year-old Sheila Denise Tenpenney died, they already know one thing. Someone has been inside this room. All right. Um, I am live right now. I've seen a DOA. So, just want to It's a little suspicious, kind of odd. So, I called day a couple times, but no answer, but I just want to let somebody know here. >> Um, if you want to give me like two minutes and I'll call you back here in a minute. It's just a It's a female DOA undermania. Just kind of odd pillow over her face and some chemical >> hair. Blood and hair underneath your fingernail. >> Blood splatter around the bed. The guy that founder said the door was open and he said that he told the squad that he thinks she was raped and murdered, but [clears throat] we're uh there's confirmed the squad's confirming right now. So Dave's calling me back, but I'll I'll talk to him. All right. All right, we're on. It should be live. >> Hey, >> that was me moving. >> Um, just want to let you know I'm live right now, but I'm on a dua. Um, confirming with squad's confirming right now. It's a little uh suspicious, a little odd. There's like a lot of blood around, pillows over her face. Um, halfway naked. The guy that found her said the door was open and he said he thinks she was raped and murdered. So, I don't know. 39. >> You can have that for the corner. >> 18, >> but I'm in here. I just wanted to let you know as soon as possible so I can give you a call back and talk a little bit more in a second. >> Yes, I don't see theity, but >> it'll probably be to one. He knows about it, though. >> Okay, >> let me get disconnected here. We're good. >> Cleaner bottles. All sorts of different bottles. pillow. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Whatever you need. >> Yeah. >> Oh, you heard me. It's just there's >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> You said that. What do you What about the hair? >> There's right here. >> Blood. >> Hair. Blood underneath her fingernails. >> All right. So, >> we'll get >> I don't see blood >> from her. >> There's a bisby all over the place. >> Right. So that might not be something. >> Who knows? That's police work. I don't mean to overstep. >> No, you're good. I >> pills. >> Yeah. >> I mean, it's possible. >> Yeah. >> But I don't know. >> All righty. >> We'll let y'all. >> All right. >> Okay. >> I'm going to wait till the detective get here and >> Okay. >> No, no point rushing anything right now. >> Yeah. >> Uh will you look at some of those prescriptions? There's nothing. >> I don't think there >> over there on the nightstand there. >> Oh. >> The bedroom tells two completely different stories. One suggests a medical emergency. The other suggests someone else was here. With almost no clear suspect, detectives begin knocking on doors. They have no idea. One conversation is about to change the investigation forever. We just need we need to go over some things in the neighborhood with you, man. We could go back so we don't have to sit. >> Yeah. >> And we some pictures I want to show you and I'll show you and your sons and there's a bunch of stuff we want to talk to you about. >> All right, you guys. >> Are we on? >> We just want to talk to you. I think you guys can help us clear a lot of things up around here. So, >> all right. 10 days after Sheila's murder, detectives still believe they're searching for a dangerous killer somewhere out in the community. They have no reason to think that the search is about to end at the home of a 13-year-old boy. As Levi's family arrives at the police station carrying food for what everyone assumes will be another routine interview, the investigation is already much closer to the truth than anyone realizes. >> You can come with me. >> We're just here. >> You can bring it with you. >> Yeah, you can bring it with you. >> Let's go in that car right there. Yeah, that one right there. >> Hey, John. And he'll ride with you. >> Okay, that that'll work. >> Before we get I just got to make sure there's nothing on you. It's going to stick me. Poke me. Cut me. Actually, if you want to step over there to him right there over here in my pocket. >> Awesome. in case. >> All right, you can just have a seat right there for me. >> I do have to put this on you for the whole three blocks we're driving. How's that? >> What's that? >> Try taking them both in the same car. >> Yeah, BCI said go ahead. Put those two in the same car. When you get back, take them to in through the front doors. Take one take uh they'll tell you which one they want and then one's going to go in the back room in the room. But don't pull around back cuz that's where the BCI is. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Buck it in. >> Yep. Cool. >> Yeah. I don't know what's going on. >> All very very unexpected. Levi looks exactly how you would expect a frightened 13-year-old to look. At just 13 years old, he is the last person anyone in this room expects detectives to focus on. >> Um, his brother has his drink to grab that one. >> Did your brother know which drink or did they get? >> Uh, no. Yeah, my mom and them got iced tea. I mean, [ __ ] Sorry. Uh they got um brain uh lemonade and then I got iced tea. >> They got ADHD. >> Yeah. And then I'll drop this up for you. >> Then who drinks that? Is that in yours as well or? >> Uh this is f my brother's. >> Okay. And then this is their stuff. If you can That's his drink. The brother's drink. >> Oh, and she was going to take the full sl. >> Okay. Glad they brought a fork. >> Got enough napkins and everything. Or do you? >> No. Yeah, I need some napkins. >> Got to grab some for here in a second. >> Before detectives can ask another question, Levi already has an explanation. According to him, he couldn't have committed the murder. At the time, it sounded almost impossible to argue with. >> What's up, man? >> Hello. >> How you been? >> All right. Okay. Like flu sick? >> Oh, of these. Certainly need to eat them. >> Yeah. So, you go by Louiswis. What's your like full real name? >> Um, >> Levi Jackson car. >> Levi Jackson car. Levi, but you go by Lewis. >> So, you want me to call you Lewis? >> Whatever you want. >> Okay, that's cool. Hey, Lewis, I got to read you a form because we're at a police station. Okay. And I have to ask you some important questions. Okay. >> All right. So, will you follow along with me? Just kind of give the food a break for a sec. I know you're hungry. I'm sorry. I'm very hungry. >> I know. But let this won't take long. >> So these are your You ever heard of Miranda writes before? Do you watch a lot of crime TV or anything like that? >> Okay. >> Levi spent weeks preparing for this crime. What he never prepared for was everything that came after. One tiny oversight is about to become incredibly important. If this case has you hooked so far, you might want to subscribe. There are a lot more stories like this one on the channel. And with that, let's continue. >> All right. With these in mind, do you want to have a conversation with me? >> Um, well, I guess it states that I can quit having a conversation with you. I'm not sure what this is like necessarily about. >> No, I will explain that. >> Okay. Yeah, you said that. And you said that it could we could help you guys like understand what's going on or like something like that. >> So, I'm not sure. >> Do you know what we're investigating? M I mean I know something happened down the street >> across the street. >> Across the street in front of me, >> right? A woman was murdered, right? So we're trying to find out what happened. >> Okay. So that's what we're investigating. >> Okay. >> Okay. That's why you're sitting here right now. >> Okay. >> Okay. I want to find out what you know, if anything. >> I mean, I've already talked to FBI investigators yesterday, I think. So >> Uhhuh. Okay. All right. So, do do you want to talk to me or >> Sure. >> Okay. >> We just want to follow up on your conversation from yesterday. >> Mhm. >> All right. Go ahead and sign right there. >> I put the ads and then >> I don't really have a sign. >> Well, if you have a print, if you can print two, >> you know, whatever you feel, whatever you're >> I'll just do that. >> All right. Put the date. It's uh February 11th or is it the 12th? >> Is the 12th? >> 12th. I'm sorry, my bad. >> 12th. >> So So 22. >> So 212-12-25. >> He's still at the age where adults have to explain how to sign paperwork. Somehow detectives are sitting across from a murder suspect. He's about to make a request you'd least expect in a situation like this. Can I eat now? >> Yep. Absolutely. >> All right. So, I know the agents were at your house yesterday and they talked to you and your mom, right? >> Mhm. >> So, kind brother >> and your brother. Yep. And your brother's Hunter, right? >> Mhm. Hunter. >> Okay. Hunter. What? Well, I I speak with a little bit of a coast accent. So So you guys are moving out of out of the state, I heard. >> Mhm. >> Where you going? >> Um Yep.

Oh, so it's been a while. >> I'm not sure. Maybe two. >> How old are you now? >> 113. >> And uh how far did you go in school before you became homeschooled? >> Uh 2019, I think. >> Did you go Did you go to Marrymont? >> Yeah. Because my mom was worried about >> co Yeah. >> Okay. >> Every answer comes effortlessly. Almost as though Levi has already had this conversation before. >> All right. So, listen. Um, Lewis, I want to talk to you about like the weekend this thing happened. Okay. >> The weekend. >> Yeah, it was the weekend of February. So, not this past weekend, but the weekend before that. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, tell me what you did on Friday. Not this past Friday, but >> last Friday. >> Yeah, last Friday. So last Friday there we we went to my dad's birthday. >> Mhm. >> That was good. Um and we just hung out for a while at a restaurant >> at your with your dad. You and you and Hunter >> and my mom. >> Okay. Was it in Kentucky or up here? >> Uh probably in Ohio. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> Um, and well, I guess most of the day before the before that day, uh, before the dinner, I guess, was just like pretty normal. I'm not sure what time I woke up, but I uh I don't know. I took a shower. I wanted to be ready for the dinner >> and I got dressed in like nice clothes. So, >> okay. And then after we went to the dinner and I took some photos with my camera. So I got that for >> uh Christmas. >> Okay. >> And >> do you have a phone? >> Uh yes. >> Okay. >> Apple phone or >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Sitting inside Levi's pocket is the one thing capable of destroying everything he's built. I recently released another shocking case on my Patreon. This video shows the interview of a man who, after being involved in the murder of a man and his wife, later ended up shooting a 12-year-old boy in the head. You can watch it right now at patreon.com/strangerstories plus. >> Uh, and we just [clears throat] hang out, hung out for a while, and then I don't know, went went to bed. I mean, I went I went home and then I went to sleep >> on Friday night. >> Mhm. >> Okay. And then you woke up Saturday and what did you do? >> Uh I I don't know. I went and did some homework uh just cuz I didn't do any on Friday because I had spent most of the day at a birthday uh dinner. >> All right. >> It was early. But um yeah, so I went and did some homework. Uh, and then after I did some homework, I think around like 2:50, 3, I'm not sure. >> Okay. >> Uh, sometime in the afternoon, I went >> Do you do homework with your mom? Like, cuz you're homeschooled. Does your mom teach you? >> Sometimes. >> Okay. >> Uh, usually I do it by myself. >> Okay. What kind of homework were you doing? >> Um, >> math, uh, some history, trying to learn some new things in English. >> Mhm. I don't know. I've been having some more problems with like math and stuff, >> right? What kind of math is it? >> Um, >> I don't know how to describe it. It's like using trying to measure things like how long this would be at this >> geometry, >> I guess. So, yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Shapes and >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Um, after I did some homework, my dad picked me up and we went and did some geocaching. Uh, like we had planned to do. Uh, >> geo what? >> Geocaching. >> What's that? >> It's like um, how do I explain it? Like people give you clues to do things like that? >> I have a curious. Uh, people give you clues like on the internet to do things uh, or like to find things. >> Mhm. Uh, and if you find them or like they're kind of hard to find, not that hard, but if you find them uh in these places, then you can like say or write down that you've been there. And >> I see or put a thing next to it or put >> So, you were supposed to do that on Saturday. >> We did do it. >> Oh, you did? Where'd you do it at? >> Uh, we just drove around. I'm not sure. >> All right. Go ahead. >> Uh, yeah. I went to a different couple places. And then I also I like got my book bag like super super muddy. So that was fun cuz we were trying to do like find one in a cemetery. >> But apparently like the rain had made it like super uh muddy, >> right? >> Cuz the rain swooshed down. But um yeah, we just we went geocaching uh and then we hung out we or after uh sorry. So I it's a lot of explaining to do. I also have ADHD. Okay. >> Uh so my brain >> No, just jumps around. >> Yeah. Uh so yeah, so we went geocaching mainly because my mom went to a uh like a lunch thing cuz uh one of her sisters is moving. >> Your aunt? >> Yeah. Aunt is moving uh to like I don't know somewhere, >> right? Uh, and so after we got done with geocaching, we couldn't, we were just like, "All right, we're finished." >> Uh, we went home or me and my dad uh went to my house. Uh, or you get what I mean. My house and my brother was there. >> Uh, and we just kind of hang out, hung out for the night. Um, watched a movie. I think it was like a Batman movie. Oh, okay. You and your brother did Saturday night. >> Oh, and my dad. Yeah, they kind of hung out >> Saturday night. >> Detectives haven't accused Levi of anything yet. Even so, he seems determined to explain details they haven't even asked about. Why he could stand for long, why he used a shower chair, why scratches appeared on his body. It's almost as though Levi already knows which questions matter most. Levi even volunteers something that detectives haven't questioned him about. He explains that he uses a shower chair because standing for too long leaves him weak and exhausted. Moments later, the scratches on his body suddenly have an explanation, too. According to Levi, they came from a fall in the shower and a cat. >> Trying to search around the house. Did you throw the shirt away because it was just stretch? >> No, I Well, I'll get back to that later in the story. >> Gotcha. >> Um, but yeah, so I just I used the shirt uh and I walking around already being super exhausted, barely getting any sleep and standing for a long period of time. I was super exhausted as I've already mentioned. Uh, and I was looking around the house for the band-aids. Couldn't find the band-aids at all. Uh, and I just I just couldn't find the band-aids. So, I tried to like fix it up by like again like using the a cotton pad or something. >> Uhhuh. >> Uh, and that's what I did. And then I don't know what time it was. It was it was a pretty long time trying to clean myself up and being in the shower and then you know all that stuff. >> Right. I got you. >> So, uh, yeah. I was like, "Okay." Okay, so I've healed myself up, quote unquote, enough. Uh, and I'm just going to go sit down and eat um, and watch some TV. And then and then I ate I I mean, I tried to eat something and I forget what it was. >> Were you still bleeding real bad? >> Uh, no. The cotton swab swab helped a little bit. Gotcha. >> Um, here. So, I tried to start eating whatever I could find. Um, and I uh I paused the thing. >> What were you watching? >> Uh, I was watching some like some YouTube like react video >> on your phone or >> uh on my Xbox. >> Got it. Um, so I was doing that and super exhausted, feeling like honestly like [ __ ] because I barely got any sleep. >> Oh, I bet. >> Uh, and so I was just like, I don't know what to do. I know I can't, you know, go to sleep in this state. Uh, and so I started crying honestly kind of loud. Um, >> like what time would you say we are at now? >> Like 5:30 maybe. >> Okay. >> Was a long time. >> Levi's story becomes even more convincing. The night before the murder, he says he was rushed to the hospital after a severe nosebleleed that required stitches. It's exactly the kind of detail investigators would expect to eliminate someone from suspicion. Unfortunately for Levi, the evidence is about to tell a very different story. Mom starts seeing a bunch of sirens outside. Uh, and she opens the window and she's like, "Oh my god, something happened to Denise." And me already in a like a panicked weird state because I am having to, you know, be like, "Marshmallow did this and he's right in front of me." Uh, and still crying because I feel like I ruined, you know, doing photos so we could get out of here. Uh, get out of the get out of the state, you know, go to California. Um, so I kept on crying. Uh, and then I kind of started feeling emotionally triggered. And when she said, uh, there was a bunch of animes outside, she or I, uh, I like started to freak out even more. So, I was already very triggered or feeling very triggered. >> When you say triggered, explain that to me. >> Like, like I said, emotionally triggered. >> Yeah. Tell me what's [clears throat] >> I'm not in your head so I don't know what it means. >> Um >> trigger means different for different people. >> That's true. >> Um so just like I just felt like very like like sad and like overwhelmed. [snorts] >> Watching Levi walk into the station. His family still sees the same 13-year-old they've always known. They have no reason to believe that they're standing beside the person responsible for everything that's happened. even worse. >> Um, and Hunter didn't even know what to do. Um, so I just decided to go upstairs so I could try and like stop thinking about it so that I didn't have to like think about how something else was happening so that I didn't have to feel even worse. Right. >> Right. >> So, I went upstairs and I was just I don't know. I was trying to get out of my head, trying to get out that trying to get trying to get the feeling or the emotion in my head that something had happened to Denise or my neighbor. Um, and so I just tried to fall asleep. >> Uhhuh. >> Um, and then I still couldn't stop thinking about it. So, I was like, "Well, maybe if I just ask my dad to come and pick me up or like see if we can even do that so I can feel better and not have to think about something else happening to somebody." Um, I asked him and I texted him if he could um like bring me over to his house or pick me up. So, I was feeling really emotionally triggered. >> Mhm. Did he? Uh, and then 30 minutes later, uh, he showed up. Um, and then as we're as I'm leaving, uh, I see a bunch of cop cars outside and I see a bunch just a bunch of random cars outside. >> What time did dad come get you? Remember what time of day it was? >> Levi describes Sheila as nothing more than a neighbor. It's a relationship detectives have no reason to question yet. Have you ever been in Denise's house? >> Uh, I mean, like I know they asked like, "Have we had dinner with them?" No. I mean, with her? No. Uh, has she had dinner with us? No. I've never none neither my mom, my brother, or me have ever been in that house or even that close other than I guess walking distance. You never like did work or anything like helped her? >> I'm 13. >> No, I'm talking like a 13-year-old to mow grass and help. >> My brother My brother uh was [clears throat] >> shovel snow, all that stuff kids do. >> No, I mean my brother was uh mowing lawns uh over the summer. I think last summer. Uh, I'm not sure whose mo lawn emode, >> but um, >> yeah, I I don't know. I'm not very like a social person. Like, if it's talking to people, sure, but I'm not going to come over to people and be like, "Hey, or do you need any help with shoving snow, you know?" >> Right. You're not going to initiate it, right? >> All right. All right. Will you give us a minute? Go ahead and finish some of your food. I got to use the restroom. I'll be right back. Detectives finally give Levi the one thing he's been asking for. A few moments to eat. >> Hey man, did you finish? >> What's that? >> I said pretty much >> good. >> Hey, um Lewis, >> do you think sometimes people do something that they regret out of character for themselves? They do something, they get kind of scared and they don't want to talk or tell anybody about it. >> I think sometimes like >> I'm sorry. >> Like if you're cheating on somebody like that and you're going to regret that, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Um so do you think somebody could do something and get nervous and maybe do something they weren't intending to do and things get out of hand and something bad happened? Do you think that could happen? I mean, I think everybody, you know, is human, so >> Right. Exactly. Exactly. >> I think that could happen. >> You think that could happen? Okay. So, you said you never been in Denise's house. Never been. Okay. Do you know what DNA is? >> You ever heard of it? >> I've heard of it. >> Okay. So, we're trying to figure out, and I want you to help me explain this, okay? Why your blood would be in Denise's house. That's what we're trying to figure out. >> Well, I'm not sure cuz I don't know. Like, how is it my blood? Like, >> that's what we're trying to find out. >> Cuz I don't know. I don't know why it would be in my house. >> Yeah. We That's what we're trying to figure out. That's why we're even here right now. >> Oh, remember we got those swabs from you? >> Mhm. Well, we compared that to the blood in the house, and it's not only her blood, it's your blood mixed in with it. >> Wow. >> Through DNA testing. >> How does that work? >> Well, they com Everybody's DNA is unique. >> Mhm. >> You know, everybody has different DNA. Everybody that's unique to one person. >> Everybody's unique. >> That's like fingerprints. Every Nobody has the same fingerprints in the whole world. >> Even brothers. >> Even brothers. So, I'm just trying to figure out. So, I just I want an explanation. I'm trying to figure out myself after sitting here talking to you. >> You just seem like a kind of just a young man. >> I mean, I'm a I'm a young boy. >> I know. So, I'm just trying >> and sometimes young boys make mistakes like >> I mean, everybody makes mistakes. >> I agree. I've made a hundred of them. thousands. Thousands of them. I'm sure Steve's made thousands of them, too. >> So, I'm just trying to figure out why that would be that way. I think something happened and I think you don't want to tell me and I just want to know what happened. I think I don't think it was done like maliciously. I think something just stupid happened. Be honest with you. >> I don't think that murder is stupid. So I don't >> Well, when I mean stupid, I don't think that was the intent. Oh, >> there's Well, when somebody intends to do something is different from if something just happened bad happens. Like if if um you know, like a car accident, like if I'm drunk driving and I hit and kill somebody, I didn't mean to do it. >> I mean, it's kind of your fault, though. >> It is. But I wasn't out. I didn't wake up in the morning. I didn't wake up in the morning to go drive over somebody, but I shouldn't have been drinking and driving. Right. >> Right. So, I'm trying to figure out why your blood is mixed in with her blood in her house. >> That's what I'm trying to figure out. And I just need an explanation. >> I don't have an explanation for you. >> Levi just didn't make a mistake. He committed something so heinous that detectives would describe his planning as unlike anything they'd seen from someone his age.

And I am trying to explain it. I can't. I personally can't. Neither can I. I've already told you that before. I mean, it could be. How does that even I guess everybody's is unique. >> It is. I'm not fibbing. >> I just mean like because my brother is literally well my twin. Um I I just don't know how that would happen to begin with. How my blood would be in her house. >> Yeah, that's what we're trying to figure out. >> All of us, you know. All right. So >> now your brother is an identical twin, right? >> Mhm. Well, not necessarily identical, but >> fraternal or identical. >> I think paternal. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, we have your blood in her house and we're trying to figure out how it got there. That's the bottom line. >> Well, >> that's the bottom line. I mean, truly, >> get my blood from somewhere. >> We didn't don't need your blood. We got swabs. I just mean like did you did somebody put my blood in that house for a reason? >> Oh, I don't know. Would you tell me? Would they? >> I didn't put your blood. >> I don't have any enemies. >> I didn't put your blood there. >> I mean, I'm only 13. I don't know why anybody would put my blood in a house, but I mean, you know, >> Levi isn't just trying to protect himself. With every answer, he's quietly giving detectives someone else to look at. And that someone is his own brother. >> Uh, I don't know. I mean, on the forgetting standpoint, I have honestly kind of a lot of problems with forgetting. >> You ever have blackouts? >> Uh, no. I don't have blackouts. I just like I have I've had a lot of problems or things in my brain with um forgetting things >> or I don't know, just like things in general or like me, my SDR surgery. Uh it's like a whole thing. But um >> what does SPR stand for? >> Uh that's just like um it was in my in my back I think. >> Uhhuh. >> Um that makes sense to why I would forget that. I just mean like uh in the standpoint of remembering what happened or being there or um even planning it or stuff like that. Like I I have a big problem with remembering you like like I I know it happened because of my disability. >> Um but like in the state that I was in or after or you know like for the year I've always had or I had a lot of problems with remembering you know exactly uh when it happened or how we planned it. So, and I don't know. I just like I have some problems with remembering things. Uh, I definitely have some short-term memory loss. >> Could this be something you wouldn't remember? >> Possibly. If it's I don't know what it would be, but >> Well, that's what I'm trying to find out. It's my job. And I'm glad you respect that, you know. I mean, I think that if I if I didn't remember it, then why would I make up a story about, you know, having my cat or like my cat being on my face or whatever? Like, why why would I even do that? So, >> well, some people will make up stories to explain things, >> right? So, that's what I'm saying. If I didn't remember it, then why would I explain it? Well, you some people want to give a story to so the real story doesn't come to light. >> Right. But if I forget >> Well, I'm not saying he did forget. >> I'm just saying I'm just saying if I if I if I forgot it. Why? >> So, in that scenario, if you had forgotten it, you would have been able to make up a story. >> Exactly. >> I see what you're saying. Well, >> right. >> Right. I see what you're saying. Forgetting something and replacing it with a brand new story are two very different things. And unlike what Levi thinks, detectives can immediately notice the difference. >> Quick question. Is that your phone? >> No, it is. Is there a passcode to get into it? >> I don't remember really. I don't use my phone a lot. >> You don't? But you use it to text your dad and everything >> sometimes. >> How would you get into your phone to text your dad? >> Usually in Face ID. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I remember the password. >> Okay. >> Everything changes once detectives open Levi's phone. The searches don't begin after the murder. They begin weeks before it. Then detectives discover something even more disturbing. A journal with Levi's name. Inside one sentence stands out above everything else. I will kill you. And that wasn't all. Detectives also uncover handwritten notes describing exactly how to strangle someone. Sitting inside his bedroom is another unsettling discovery. A book titled Confessions of a Serial Killer. By now, detectives already know this wasn't impulsive. Then they open Levi's messages. Days before the murder, he's discussing serial killers, searching for the perfect victim, talking about methods, and even describing a complete lack of empathy. Detectives came looking for evidence of murder. Instead, they uncovered weeks of planning leading directly toward it. >> All right, Levi, stand up for me. Put your hands together. Palms together behind your back. My back. >> Yeah, behind your back. >> Palms together. There you go. >> So, what's happening here? >> You're going to be taken down to the 2020 Juvenile Detention Center. In the end, Levi pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, burglary, and strangulation. He was sentenced to juvenile detention until his 21st birthday. Thank you for watching.
