you telling me I killed somebody man you telling me I killed somebody man and I ain't kill nobody here you are using his debit card you got on his hat pants look the same shoes look the same they are the same that's you you talking about no it's I never used a deit card video says you're full of crap this is Timothy Floyd who thinks he can get away with killing his best friend in spite of the dozens of security cameras having captured every moment of his evil cover up you recognize that guy walking away from that car no sir you do you recognize um the jacket that that person's wearing no sir is that you no with denial this persistent law enforcement has their work cut out for them how will they be able to trick a man this dismissive into making a confession as shocking as this one how many time you think you hit him did you just black out I Ain black I about full time on January 25th 2020 a security system protecting a vacant house in Tallahassee Florida was triggered alerting a local police officer to check the property they were expecting at the most to uncover a thief or maybe just a squatter what they found instead was shocking in the front yard of the house a large object was wrapped in blankets and plastic as officers began to peel away the layers they came face to face with the deceased body of 28-year-old Jonathan Spooner who had been been beaten to death Johnny as his family called him was a vibrant spiritual man who graduated from Florida State University with a double major in Psychology and criminology he had a wealth of Friends Seven Sisters and a family that loved him dearly which only made the news of his death more heartbreaking and confusing for the community fortunately law enforcement didn't have to look far to find their first suspect directly across the street from Jonathan's body was the home of 37-year-old Timothy Lee Floyd his close friend and also a notorious criminal Tim Floyd had been arrested several times since the early 2000s for multiple robberies with a firearm drug offenses Grand thefts and burglaries at the time of Jonathan's murder he hadn't even been out of prison for a year from his last criminal offense his experience however didn't seem to culminate in a lot of skill evading the police after pulling security footage from Jonathan's last known locations as well as footage from a near by lot where his car was abandoned officers found themselves face to face with Floyd who appeared in footage with Jonathan in the beginning of the night and later appeared in footage using Jonathan's debit card without him police quickly requested a search warrant for Floyd's house and took him into custody even with plenty of evidence they were in for one of the toughest interrogations of their careers the footage that you were about to see was provided to us by the Tallahassee Police Department in Florida cold in this yeah um I think you'll be over here I'll see if they got like a blanket or something it is a little chillier in here and then where they can turn this down start working yeah hey Tim I got to put this on your ankles hey you know how to turn the AC down on [Music] here it's what somebody should be in here shortly I'll try to see about the AC boy afternoon nothing my name is danad Warren investigator of police department this investigator CT Bridges you that M man yes sir we were you remember me I remember you I sitting on the front Flor looking at you all right you all right I heard you got cold I this room gets freezing all right well we jump right into that we have a search for for you're residents so that's why everybody's there um judge Richardson signed it today I got a copy um that I can get to you what is it for what is the search warrant for yes is a reference to the uh here's if you want to read it copy of it to obtain a search warrant for an investigation law enforcement must submit an affidavit to a judge outlining their evidence to Warrant a search of a suspect's property in this case law enforcement have more than enough probable cause and though their list of reasons for searching Floyd's home is longer than a CVS receipt Floyd is going to deny each and every one in ways you'll have to see to believe law enforcement reads Floyd his Miranda rights before the real questioning begins now would be a great time to ask for a lawyer but Floyd is so confident they have no evidence against him that it doesn't even seem to cross his mind to request one do you know this gentleman yeah that's jant who is he Spooner Spooner yeah okay who who is that that's my friend okay how how do you know him Facebook you guys are friends on Facebook we were friends on Facebook then we had got good friends man he start giving me rid and stuff oh okay when's the

is willing to drive you to work pick you up from work and send you money whenever you need it in the name of friendship it's worth noting that in just 6 minutes Floyd has repeatedly tried to affirm that his relationship with Jonathan wasn't sexual and is hinted that he disapproves of homosexuality with his statement that he kicked Jonathan out when he discovered he wasn't straight so were they friends or was it more at the time of his death Jonathan was comfortably out and proud of his sexuality in 2018 his long-term boyfriend who he described as the love of his life died of a brain tumor at just 33 years old Jonathan frequently went by the name Johnny Jackson using his partner's last name in honor of him in 2019 he posted that he would never date again for as long as he lived okay so sounds like yall had a good thing going yes sir okay so when's the last time you had any communication with Spooner Wednesday morning Wednesday morning yes sir all right so Wednesday morning I got

car he let a lot of people B his car okay so will you say that was it like he just bounced or what have did his brother come there and pick up the car despite being called out three separate times for his story not adding up Floyd remains confident in what he's telling law enforcement after all in his mind he's done a good job of covering up his tracks well aside from leaving the body directly across the street from his house and having Jonathan's debit card in his wallet and y'all are hit each other every day yes sir so we get that phone your phone we text y'all are talking every day yes sir all right and that's normal for y'all every single day yes sir so so when I sto hearing from it was normal when you what when I stopped hearing from him when did you stop hearing from Wednesday

not know right now okay the all right well we went from what he was wearing to you telling us some sheets suspects who are guilty will often provide more information than what is needed in order to appear like they're being helpful or in an attempt to cover their tracks in this case Floyd is doing both the blanket and sheets that he has randomly brought up are what law enforcement discovered Jonathan's body wrapped in this information had not been given to the public at the time of the interrogation well why the heck did he end up across the street tell me well I'm trying to pick your brain you you're there you had this good relationship with him he staying in your house twice a week he was last there Wednesday um see you you helped me out well listen man what you think he was doing over there I actually don't know I don't know cuz you got to admit it's Strang he right across the street from your house I understand that man but like I said man when I love to go to work 3:00 that morning it was nobody cross that street man when I came back 7:00 it still a nobody cross that street so where you to work at at on Temple of Israel what is that at preschool Jor it would nobody across that street man we need your help done Mr Floyd um because I like pictures pictures kind of help show the story it's one thing to be told something it's something different to actually see it you agree yes sir all right so let's talk about his car his car was kind of close to your house and the house where he was found okay was found up the road all right yeah our printer is absolute crap but you recognize that guy walk away from that car no sir you do you recognize um the jacket that that person's wearing no sir never seen anything like that before no sir okay and that bright yellow I mean it looks like a freaking highlighter that that would definitely stick out right no you agree yes sir uh did Spooner ever have a jacket like that you have anything like that I don't know okay never seen do you have anything like that no I don't own nothing like that okay is that you nope that's definitely not you definitely not me 100% 100 okay I got I got another question for you man yeah like I said big on pictures helps me out where' that come from I don't know you don't know nope you pulled it from your trash can this morning inside your trash bag with stuff with your name on it your beer bottles so is that m Mr Floyd that's not going to go well for you man listen I I know you've been locked up before I know you don't want to do it again but listen I need to know the truth I don't let's talk for two seconds do you two seconds that's it please I will respect you I want to hear what you had to say but just listen to me all right I have a lot of evidence in this case a lot of things I want to talk to you I ain't going to throw it all down some of it I'm going to do test you see which you going to be straight with me I know what happened to Spooner I want to know why listen this is just a small piece you telling me that this right here and you have no idea why it was in your trash can hold your trash can he's found across the street he's last at your house last place that he was at for you say he left his car is part near your house guy walking out his car we have him on video going back towards your house wearing that rain jacket and you throw this away I don't got nothing to do with that sir okay so there's no way on Earth Prince DNA nothing of yours is going to be on that okay even though it was inside your bag of trash I can go back to my computer I can print you where we took it out of your trash with with pictures of your your uh I think it was work checks maybe some past tub stuff first certificate I mean I I can that's that's not good for you listen man I don't got nothing to do with Okay so let's let's use some reason some logic how how did it get there yeah you tell me I don't know I don't know I I'm asking you sir that's what I need to know and you you know some people some people think that we come in here and and list I ain't come here to play I came here to get the out of here I ain't got nothing to do with this man though absolutely nothing absolutely nothing well and and that's what I need your help for it it truly is that's what I need my phone for man what's in your phone I'm tell I see you see everything that's going on man I ain't never had no bad relationship with that man we ain't never had no words no words no no no discrepancy no nothing this is a little bit different the fact that it's in your trash bag got that ain't mine it's not yours no how how could it have gotten in there I don't know sir you no idea the only thing more damning that police could have found while searching for evidence is a signed confession from Floyd that of course will come in time but first he's got to try absolutely every last thing he can think of to try and wiggle his way out of this even if it makes as little sense as the items in his trash can not belonging to him I've been I've been home all day so so which which is good so you g to take me up my word you want to see some more pictures with it with your birth certificate with you know the other stuff see n of okay so so you got no issues with the fact that I'm telling you we found this in your trash you AC you taking my word on all right cool so let's kind of pretend this a puzzle here so we got you and Mr Spooner right okay you guys are friends he stays at your house sometimes he stayed there Wednesday right after Wednesday he goes missing right he don't show up for work right okay so that's not good all right um his body is found literally across the street from your house it's not like on the other side of Tassie is across the street from your house right you got his debit card right right the guy that dumped his car dumped it right up the road he's wearing the rest of this outfit and this outfit's in your trash can and this like I said it's just a small piece right but we can agree it doesn't look good for you right but but at the same time man that ain't like that ain't like no whole jacket like what that man got on that just like a hood and I don't know what I came from I definitely don't I don't think you telling me the truth on that but we can go back to it I'm telling you the truth on everything you tell me the truth on everything everything I ain't got nothing to that so this is you we both know about you that's a picture of you from the other day we talk to and you said you got spinter debit card never used it no okay well this is you fixing us spinner debit card wearing the same jacket like I said we got a shitty prer but we get a lot more we get the whole video on it but that's your say jacket and unfortunately that Spooner's hat bro that me yeah that's you and you used his debit card I didn't use his debit card well period I got it there but I didn't never use guess what what why do you think we had this picture I don't know we had this picture because you're saying this is you this this guy on the video uses his debit card to make a purchase out is after Wednesday so you saying this is you the store records in their video saying you use Spooner's debit card to make a purchase you told me you didn't use it right us how does that make sense I paid cash how does that make sense I paid cash when I went in know okay so the bank records are line how would I know what time to look to see when you went to the store man I it was by Happ stance at the time we went to look at the store and the person using Spooner's debit card boom is you I ain't use the card sir right I ain't never Ed that card you I ain't never use that card I don't even know the pin number sir you don't need don't know the P I don't know the PIN okay so I come back here with a video and a bank record showing that this person that we agree as you is using his debit card his credit card you see why that's another problem yeah well that's that's truth no BS there are even more condemning elements of the photo law enforcement is showing Floyd the photo which is a screenshot of a surveillance video from Dollar General shows Floyd using Jonathan's debit card to purchase some snacks at 7:34 p.m. on January 23rd the day after Jonathan missed work for the first time later that day he withdrew $300 from Jonathan's account using an ATM in the videos Floyd is wearing a hat that belonged to Jonathan what happened I don't know I definitely don't know sir I don't know what happened to that man Mr Floyd I've talked to a lot of people in this room sitting in the exact same seat that you are right now okay I try to be respectful to them try to be straight with them but they always think that you know lying is the best way but I'm here to tell you is not because it't it makes you look guilty you talking about no it's I never used a debit card video says you're full of crap you say that that's you video shows you using a debit card is what it is you saying that this piece of this jacket didn't get in your trash can you have no idea how it is but you agree that it's there okay we can keep going round and round and I can show you more and more and more but we're not going to do that something happened between you and sponer I don't know whose fault that is I don't know if it came at you I don't know if you broke in your house in the midle of night and you had to defend yourself I don't know but this is the only time we're going to talk where you get a chance to tell me what happened I do not know what happened to that man sir I honestly do not know what happened to that man sir I do not know no clue I do not know what happened to that man sir but we agree that we got some major issues his body being across street from your house we agree that you being on video using his credit card and your credit card his credit card being in your wallet is a big deal we can agree that the fact that the car got dumped right up the road from his house where you dump it and you walk back and you're captured on video going back towards your house wearing that same yellow jacket and we find a piece of it in your garbage can we could agree those are all problems correct well that's not my that's not me walking from that car man I didn't have a damn car I ain't had that man car so I Ain had this car you not no I ain't got his car you can sit here you can say it's not you but we can agree logically that that's a big problem that that guy on video I could we have it goes back towards your house walk in that direction you went in my house I said towards your house okay but you can read that it's s it's a chance that that's not me the fact that a piece of the jacket's in your trash says otherwise I don't own none of that [ __ ] I don't own no jacket like that I don't but the other stuff in your trash can is yours yeah the beer bottles the what was it the botles yeah your birth certificate birth certificate in there your pay pay probably so why you turn away your pays and your birth certificate I don't know papers you don't know why you throwing that stuff thrt papers away Pap why you doing that why you clean house I mean seriously who would throw away a birth certificate I didn't even know I throw my birth certificate a real one no it's a copy it's a copy I don't keep paste St but the birth certificate copy kind trash B you um the ones I get from my own job okay you keep you where do you keep your trash in your house I don't have a trash can you just put them in the bag yeah just throw the bag in trash yes sir when you take when do you take the trash to the curb Monday Mond pull it out to the Cur one day yeah from what side of the house this see right there but about by my own by Def fence my trash can so it's not logical that somebody would go in your trash can open up a trash bag and put something in it right and then close it up without you knowing about it no that that's not that's not l so when we talk about this man in the yellow hood walking back to your house towards your house wearing the exact same type of material same type of clothing and then that ended up in a trash bag alongside your documents that you agreed that was in the trash right right how do you explain that I I don't know I to the jacket and the birth certificate weren't the only strange things law enforcement found in Floyd's trash can inside they discovered a blue latex glove matching a piece of glove that they discovered next to Jonathan's body another glove was also found disposed of on the bicycle path that the person driving Jonathan's car was seen walking down essentially Floyd left a trail of evidence leading directly to his door naturally he can't explain how this evidence got here other than repeatedly saying he didn't do anything in his continuous denial the detective does a phenomenal job of disproving his lies while also remaining respectful enough to ensure Floyd doesn't lawyer up on them out of frustration when you learned your good buddy Mr Spooner who last spent the night at your house on Wednesday and you saw all those police in that yard when you learned Tuesday night right on Tuesday night left Wednesday morning the guy just threw you a $20 bill bought you some U what it McDonald's bought you some breakfast he's the generous guy and you and I had talked and you learned that his body was found right across the street right you didn't think call me you didn't think to call the police and be like hey I know you were looking for him he was over here just the other day I should have did that yeah probably should have why didn't you I should have did you cared about him he's your buddy he's helping you out why would you not pick up the phone I should have did that yeah I should have did that so why didn't you I I did you just I should have did that though yeah I D sure should have did it damn sure should

throwing you money the guy that you're standing up for going all the way to these different places I mean you're front for for people you don't even know to defend him so he's your friend right you care about it I'll care about him a lot yes sir okay so you guys care about each other you care about him a lot he does stuff for you you do stuff for him you're giving him clothing you learn that the guy found across the street when all the police are there working is your buddy and you don't freaking call and you can't explain why just like you can't explain how you used his credit card I didn't use that credit card listen I'm not gonna sit here and let you lie on yourself it's on i' been i' been yeah been St man people know me all the time man I ain't use no credit card so you're saying the bank records are lying his credit card was used by you you saying the bank records are wrong I a I use cash that's what you saying I use cash man that's what I'm saying I use cash how you think we got that video new when to look I don't know cuz his credit card was used we didn't go look at that video just cuz we didn't go through there and just start looking at video say oh hey look no it's cuz

you nothing at all at all I don't got nothing to for you okay but you can't make sense of any of the things that we're talking about you can't make sense about the top of the yellow rain jacket being in there in your trash can you can't make sense of um the you were using this credit card being caught off you can't make sense of those things so let's cut to it what happened between you and Spooner nothing nothing nothing nothing happened between me and John a man left and I ain't see him no more he took everything he had yeah he took everything he had he a have nothing except his debbit card except his debit card didn't take his de that's the only that's the only thing which That's crazy cuz that's like the most valuable thing he's got that's access to but listen to me man what the would I hurt that man for man why what what what more would I do that for I don't know he come on you hell no we already got that you got that part we already got that part straight on the first day did did he get drunk one night try something drunk he don't drink he get doped up on his ater all no he didn't try his pills no he didn't do nothing to me I didn't do nothing to him and that's just what you're going with straight up I'm telling you straight up to your eyes man you can sit here and we can have a staring contest all day I've been lied to you by people that sat here and staring in my eyes that don't mean nothing what means something is the stuff that we're talking about what means something to me is me being you telling me I killed somebody man you telling me I kill somebody man and I ain't kill nobody you kill them no no so we ain't going to find any evidence of that in your house I ain't kill nobody so we ain't going to find any evidence of that in your house what you mean that's why I'm asking you we going to find evidence of him being killed in your house how how you going to do that I would think that the first answer would be no you will not find any evidence of him being killed no you said how how you going to do that that's a difference are we going to find evidence of him getting killed in your house no you sure on that I'm positive man you put the rest of your life on that I Ain I ain't what you mean I put the rest of my life I getting the rest of my life man but we're talking about a murder man I a did nothing man I ain't did nothing man you been time about before you know what murder time is hell yeah that's not getting that time yeah that's rest of your lifetime I ain't got time for that man I ain't did nothing unless there's a reason a reason for what a reason for what happened to him it ain't no reason I ain't do nothing to him we ain't got nothing we ain't got nothing we ain't never had no disagreement man that was my dude Mr Floyd would you believe you yeah I believe me no no no if you were me would you believe you what what you mean if you were the an investigator if you were a j if you were somebody listening to this and having just a little bit of evidence through shown your way and heard you say these things and then looked at the evidence would you believe you what I believe that that you yeah I a't man that's my question the thing the thing hold on man hold on hold on man the thing about the whole thing about the is is the man being across street from my house man no it's not what is it you seen using a dead man debit card you seen wearing a hat a hat of a guy dropping his car off is ended up in your trash with your documents he's right you're also seeing wearing the dead guy's hat you're also seeing wearing his hat his beanie C you said he took every bit of his possessions but his debit card how do you end up with his hat let me show that to you let right back I got it C you got that yeah I got it how do you how do you how do you explain that that's another thing I didn't know that I don't even got that no more oh well that's convenient that's just from the other day why you going to throw away a nice hat like that Mr Floyd why would you get rid of something like that it's a nice beanie cap how' you get rid of it cuz it wasn't in your trash what you do to it it must be in the house then must be it might be might be so if we don't find it what happened to it that's a nice beanie it was cold the other night we ain't talking weeks ago let me see other picture of that guy which one that's dropping Coss that's not you no he said this is him already said that's him pass that got picture that guy yeah I thought I did I don't know what the crap I did with it there you go I mean we can print

con conveniently have the same color shoes you got on he's wearing white slides this hat end up in your house in your trash can you taking short out you you taking trash out you end up with a dead guy D Card using the dead guy's hat at this store explain that man I can't law enforcement is trying to give Floyd a way out detectives will often offer scenarios where a person would kill someone else in a way that is less intentional and more understandable if suspects feel that detectives will understand they're much more likely to confess but Floyd still has some lies he wants to try out first little does he know they're only going to make things worse this is not me man it it your phone not going to track with that guy shoes look the same pants look the same hat found in your trash can walking towards your house here you are using his debit card you got on his hat pants look the same shoes look the same they are the same that's you that's not me this me that's not me this me that's not me I spent cash up I ain't spend this card though I ain't put nothing off this card this not me you ever had his keys I don't got his keys you ever had them no you ever had his after about an hour and a half of questioning law enforcement leaves Floyd by himself while they review their notes and any new evidence that's come in from the search warrant they purposefully leave documents on the table for Floyd to look at and it seems that when he's left alone with the realization that law enforcement is actively searching his house the reality of his situation sets in of course detectives are monitoring his behavior when he's alone in the interrogation room Floyd's Outburst of emotion here provides them with a window of opportunity to play on his panic and vulnerability they go about this by sending detective Curtis who was essentially acting as good cop during the initial interrogation back into the room he takes on an even more gentle respectful approach with Floyd acting like he's trying to help him if you didn't do this you you know what I mean but I I got to You' seen all the pictures you seen all the stuff that they're throwing your way you get what I'm saying and everything is looking against you at this point would you would you agree I mean I'm not I'm just would you agree it didn't it just look it's looking Point towards you all right but look at here man you got you you saying you didn't use the car and all that other stuff and that stuff doesn't play well when I get what you coming from and this guy's dead they're saying use a car of course you you going to say no I didn't use it but I need something to show that you telling the truth about something man so tell me this man you got to give me something something that's truthful man so I can get these guys to they like hey like the C thing man did you use this card just be honest with me that's that's something small man that's something we can get past we talking about a car thing vers you

don't know just like that in less than 10 minutes the detective has gotten Floyd to admit that he used Jonathan's debit card and that he drove his car after over an hour of denial now that the ball is rolling and Floyd feels understood by the detective how much more can he get him to confess there another honesty thing man I got to ask you that's I need you to be honest with me man like I'm saying I'm trying to I don't want you to get railroaded or nothing like that yes sir you know what I'm saying yes sir if it was a reason things happen or happen that wouldn't somebody you know if there

well I don't know I don't know what happens to that man detective Curtis leaves the room in a huff likely in an attempt to make Floyd question the decision he's just made and make him feel vulnerable after losing the trust of the person who seemed to be on his side both detectives return in hopes of finally getting the truth out of Floyd especially with the new cell phone records they've just received Mr Floyd I I can appreciate you talking to um investigator Brigid Curtis over here and being straight with the credit card cuz that made me think you were a liar and reason justest if you going to lie about something small like using a man's credit card you line all the way up to the murder but you being straight about it and I can appreciate it and I can understand why cuz you know

want cigarette what kind of cigarette you want you do black mouth no what you want Newport Newport finally law enforcement has presented Floyd with photographic evidence that he can't deny the detectives masterfully cornered Floyd by asking questions that boxed him in and then released information contradicting his answers bit by bit by repeatedly insisting that Floyd killing Jonathan was an accident they've attempted to make the crime look more acceptable and easier to confess to Floyd's plea for a cigarette is the preface to a swan song and boy does he sing work on that cigarette
