going. You just try to come to my house with fake money and try to rob me. >> You are currently watching 41-year-old Josh Swink record 18-year-old Oscar Ubaldo. No one knows why, but at this very moment, the two are caught up in the middle of an argument. And as Josh continues recording, things will take a turn for the worst. >> Drop it. If you want it all, I'll give it back. >> Because unknowingly, Josh would end up capturing his own murder. And what would ensue in the hours following would be a relentless hunt to figure out why this innocent man was killed. >> And we hear about six to seven gunshots. This guy laying on the ground. >> I want you to know, Oscar, that there's video down there. I want you to know that we have video. Tell me, Oscar, have you told us the truth about everything today? It's the afternoon of October 14th, 2023 in Hyram, Georgia, when deputies receive multiple calls about shots fired in a residential area. When they arrived, they find 41-year-old Josh Swank lying motionless on the ground, shot multiple times, and despite life-saving measures being performed, he's soon pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses say the suspect fled on foot. And as police flood the area, Josh's wife, Samantha, arrives to tell them the few details she knows. He called me like 10 minutes ago. He just told me to call the police and then I heard and I came up here and I found him like this. >> So what was going on? >> He was supposed to be selling a dirt bike or something. >> Home security footage shows Josh with potential buyers of the dirt bike all morning. But at around 1:30 p.m. he's seen running away from the house, seemingly chasing someone. But this isn't the only footage deputies uncover because witnesses tell them that Josh was seen recording everything that happened. And when his phone searched, the video they find proves nothing short of shocking. >> You just try to come to my house with fake money and try to rob me. >> You play that? >> I can give you a red money. >> You play that game? >> No. Let me just call someone. >> All right then, >> bro. I'm recording you right now. You're going on Facebook. Police are on right now. >> All right, bro. >> Why would you just hand make money like that? What was your deal? Where's your buddy at? Where's truck that just dropped you? >> No, you a truck came in here. I know that goddamn truck. >> That was my Uber. >> That wasn't a goddamn Uber. >> That was Uber, bro. >> That's not an Uber. Don't worry. I'm going to get the tag number, too, cuz you got counter on you. Give me the bag. Give me bag. Give me the bag. >> All right, bro. You got too. >> What's that jar in here? >> What? What's that jar of drugs in here? >> What's your name, mother of Huh? I got your name and everything on Facebook. >> Give me the phone. Give me phone. Give me your goddamn phone now. >> Give me phone. >> Give me your phone. Drop it. Drop it. >> You, too. Now, if you want it all, I'll give you back. >> Tragically, these are the last words Josh ever speaks because as 11 shots ring out, the only sounds uttered are terrified, panicked screams. With an armed killer on the run, it's now a race against time to track him down. Thankfully, excellent witness testimony and expert police work ensures that 18-year-old Oscar Vega Ag doesn't get far. Witnesses say Oscar was last seen getting into a ride share service vehicle and within minutes deputies track him down and take him into custody. A loaded handgun's located inside the vehicle, but the bag containing the counterfeit cash is nowhere to be found. Oscar's booked into the Pauling County Jail where he waits to be questioned by detectives. But first, detectives speak with Samantha for a brief rundown of those chaotic few seconds before the fatal shots were fired. And if you love watching killers like Oscar who think they can get away realize they can't subscribe. That's literally all we do here. >> So, I know we talked on scene the other day. There a lot going on. So, I just want to get your side of the story one more time just to make sure you didn't remember anything or something came to mind. >> Right. >> Okay. >> So, if you don't mind just start from the very beginning and >> run through the series of events step by step as detailed as you can. >> Okay. Um, I can't remember the exact time, but me and my husband were in our bedroom. I believe it was about 11 something. Um, this is before we would make our Duncan run. We would go to Dunin for coffee and um, what I believe to be the man coming to buy the dirt bike was calling him. Josh started kind of going over what he had done. >> Calling him on his phone or calling through like Facebook Messenger >> through the phone. Phone. Um, and that, you know, Josh was going over all that he had done to it and like I not really sure what was said on his end. Um, but then I remember Josh saying, "Yes, I'll take $3,200 for it. You know, can you be here at 1?" >> Mhm. >> Um, not really sure what they said after that, but I'm guessing he agreed to 1:00. >> As Samantha stayed inside the home, Josh met with the young man arriving to view the dirt bike. But just minutes later, he called his wife from down the block demanding she call 911. >> So Josh called me. But that time it was at I believe 1:33 and um I answered the phone. He's like, "Call the police." He handed me faith money. He's trying to steal the bike. Call the police. So he hung up on me. I >> Is that exactly what he said? >> That's exactly what he said. And so I called 911 immediately. um that telling them the address. I was and on the phone with dispatch I was even saying my husband called me. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. He just told me someone was trying to steal the dirt pipe. >> Yeah. >> But at that time I walked outside to look to see if I saw anybody and I didn't see anybody. Um so I'm standing in the middle of the driveway with my 5-year-old son and we hear about six to seven gunshots. >> Okay. To me, it sounded like it all came from one gun, one firearm. >> Mhm. >> Um, so I rushed my my son into the house and I told my daughter, "You guys stay in the house, lock all the doors, don't open it for anybody. I will be right back." And I ran outside. I got jumped in my car and I drove up there and um I saw him laying on the ground. And at the time I thought I was still on the phone with dispatch, but I guess it was still connected to my car. I don't know exactly with that. Josh was laying on the ground on his left side. >> Okay. >> Maybe like he was >> not even a foot away from his facing the curb on his left side. >> He was on his back. >> Okay. >> His gun was on the left side. >> Okay. Samantha just added a new and possibly crucial detail to the case. Because if Josh was armed during the encounter, it's a chance for Oscar to claim self-defense. But based on the video Josh recorded, there's no evidence his gun was ever pulled. And police have several witnesses to back it up. And even if Oscar did spot the gun, firing 11 shots with no warning isn't a mere overreaction. It's the definition of overkill. Um I'm holding um his spot and I kept feeling his heartbeat. So he kept screaming for help and neighbors starting surrounding and this is kind of where um I >> it's a little confusing on exactly what happened. I don't When I got up to the scene, this right. When I got up to the scene and I got ran to my husband's side, the neighbors that were outside said, "He's running. He's running. Is that the guy? He's running." And I just said, "I don't know." But I didn't see the guy. >> Yeah. >> My cameras, I don't know how, did not pick him up coming to the house. I literally never saw him until the mug shot was posted on Pauline County. Um, >> now with Oscar booked on charges of felony murder, he's brought in to be questioned. And detectives want to know what exactly led to the vicious murder of this father of three in broad daylight and on camera. >> So, how did you come to be up here? >> I was my friend. He just told me to call my own. >> Who was your friend? >> Taylor. >> Dan. And you said he is a black male. >> Yeah. >> He asked you to come with him. When did he ask you to come come with him? >> Uh yesterday he was talking to me outside my house and you say he was I guess get a bike and he said >> he was going to get a bike. >> Yeah. >> Like a bicycle? >> No. >> What kind of bike? like the door bike. He was wanting to get a bike and I said, "Sure." And we he went today and he he was talking to the guy, right? >> Dylan was >> Yeah. >> Let's Let's slow down for one second. How did you guys get up here? >> Uber. >> You Ubered from Union City to here. >> Yeah. Do you remember the guy's name that had the bike for sale? >> Cuz it was my friend was trucking with him. >> Your friend was talking to him about the bike. >> Yeah. >> Dylan was talking to him about the bike. >> Yeah. >> On the phone or were they texting? >> He he called him the phone and we did there >> about the bike. >> Yeah. >> So you guys got there around what time was it that you got there? >> I think it was like 130. >> 1:30. >> Yeah. >> What happened when you got there? >> He was talking to the guy. Move around and test it out. >> Dylan was talking to him. >> Yeah. Yeah. Cheated and everything, but uh she didn't want him and everything. >> Right from the start, Oscar settled on a defiantly stupid defense, blaming everything on his imaginary friend, Dylan. But multiple witnesses have already said Oscar was alone, and the video evidence proves he's been caught dead to rights. But as his behavior continues to show, Oscar has no idea of the staggering amount of evidence against him. >> Describe this guy for me. What do he look like? >> Um, he's like, you know, like brown eggs, very nice. >> Was it white guy? >> Oh, the guy that had the back. Yeah, it was a guy. Okay. How tall was it? 56 57 >> skinny guy. Medium guy, big guy. >> Yeah, like medium. >> Medium. >> He was probably like 35 years. >> 35 years old. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Was he nice? >> Yeah. So he he said that you guys could see the body kit if you had the money. >> Yeah. And then my friend us back we money, right? >> No. Say that again. >> My friend, >> your friend Dylan. >> Yeah. He has booked that book back with money and money too. And then he said the guy was ready to buy. So, here can I see the money coming and everything and my friend gave the blue back to him and then he was working on the money. >> Was it all fake money? >> He had fake money and real money. >> Okay. >> But yeah, it was a lot of fake money. And then he he was looking at the money. He was say this fake and he has gun rack and my friend has the other gun. >> Hang on one second. So the guy said this is fake money. >> Yeah. >> He said get out of my house. >> Yeah. >> Okay. How much how much fake money was in there? >> And fake money. >> Yeah, he has like 2,000 real money. So what happened? We just the house and and that white guy just take phone and he say he stop. He was following us to to the street in the recording and he he stop he say he was talking to someone and then we was watching right he had a like he was grabbing his gun. >> He had a gun. >> Yeah. He he had a small gun and my friend has a gun. No one there. And then we we were walking and then he was my friend just got nervous and he just shot him. And when he shoot him, well, he he started running and he threw him and I grabbed him and I keep going the tree and he just go to the woods and I didn't see him no more cuz I had over I had to call over like five Despite Oscar clearly seen on video firing the shots, he expects detectives to believe what the evidence already refutes. That Dylan was the shooter and he was just along for the ride. But now that Oscar's already dug himself a hole, detectives want to see how much further he'll go. And demanding specific details about the mysterious Dylan is a perfect start. >> Okay, so let's let's talk about Dylan for a minute. What's Dylan's middle name? Do you know? >> Okay. And you said that he is a black man. >> Yeah. >> How tall is he? >> 58. He's like six. Yeah, he's like six. >> Six foot tall. >> Yeah. >> Do you think he weighs? >> How much? Okay. >> Thin build. >> Thin build. Okay. >> So, any tattoos? >> He got tattoos on his back? No. On his arms and face. >> He's got tattoos all over him. >> On his back. >> Tattoo on his back. >> Yeah. Whose idea was it to to bring the fake money >> in the bag? >> He Whose bag is it? >> He told me it was his >> He just He just let >> He just told me that if I can go with him, I know what he was going to do. >> No. So the gun that that the deputies found with you was his gun >> that he used to shoot that guy. >> He just dropped off. >> So when Dylan shot this guy, how what made him shoot the guy? Tell us that story. >> Cuz he was he was walking with us like recording. We was walking to the street like he said get the fire. Yeah. He was recording like us. >> Mhm. >> And he was like like not shooting and everything. when when we was like going in front of the guy, my friend just take up the gun and like turn around and just chilling and he broke the gun and uh he started running and I pick up the gun and I run too like I just uh I hide for a for a little bit and then the word came and over and yeah. What was the guy? >> What was Dylan wearing? >> Uh, it was a black shirt, too. >> Black shirt? >> Yeah, he was. He got white pants, black air forces. >> Did he drop everything when he shot? >> No. Um he he grabbed the back with him, but he just dropped it down. >> He kept the bag. >> Yeah, he >> Where do you think the bag is? >> I don't know. >> Why would he drop the gun and keep the bag? I'm trying to figure that out. Why would we do that? >> Yeah. Like >> Yeah. If we got people like all around there looking like where is the bag? You know, >> he he just when he just dro >> No. And he I just grabbed the gun from the floor and my phone cuz the white guy had my phone. >> He's got your phone. He he he fell. He died. >> Did you get a bite? >> Yeah, I didn't get a bite. >> The story Oscar tells is almost exactly what happened, except for one crucial detail. Because every action the supposed Dylan took was actually committed by him. So, as Oscar tries his best to blame his alter ego for his crimes, the detective gives him one last chance to reconsider his ludicrous defense. Let's talk Oscar because you you seem like a really good guy and I just want I want you to know that I'm I want what's best for Oscar and I want what's best for this family. >> Yeah. So, let me let me tell you uh you're looking at about 40 years of experience here if you put our time here together. Look at about 40 years of experience. Okay, that's a really long time. And I want I want to tell you what I see here. I see a young man who's probably come from a good good family. Your mom, you told me your mom worked hard. Your dad worked hard. >> Didn't always have everything, but it sounds to me like they did the best they could for you and your brother and your sister. So te tell me tell me Oscar, have you told us the truth about everything today? Look at me when you tell me that. Have you have you told me the truth about everything today? >> Yeah, >> you have. You sure? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What I want what I want Let me see your hand up for a minute. Wait. Let me see your hand. Shake shake my hand for a minute. Let's listen. I want you to know, Oscar, that there's video down there. I want you to know that we have video. I want you to think about things, okay? You seem like a you seem like a a young man who comes from a family who would want you to be successful. >> Yeah. >> But we know that you've made some mistakes today. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Would you agree with that? Would you agree with that? You agree with me on that? >> I want you to tell us what really happened down there. Okay. Tell us what happened. Okay. That was my friend. True. He was talking with him. >> Dylan was there. >> Yeah. Yeah. Was there? >> You're sure? Yeah, cuz >> video will show that. >> Yeah. >> Oscar, are you sure? Are you sure about that? >> Yeah, I was like when when he was like recording me. My friend was like in the other side from from side to he was following us. ain't no Oscar. Oscar, you understand that we've already looked at video. Okay. Dylan really wasn't there, was he? >> Dylan wasn't there, was he? It was just It was just Oscar, right? >> Why did you shoot this bad? >> You feel better? that you told us the truth. What did your mom and dad teach you about the truth? I want you to think about your mama right now. >> Yeah. Understand? >> You made a mistake. How many times did you shoot this gun? >> Just think for me. Okay. I can tell by talking to you that you love your family. You you you basically painted a picture for us that your mom and dad worked hard. They come to a new country to feed you, to take care of you, to make sure that you have shoes on your feet. And so I I can tell, Oscar, I want you to know that I can tell that you love your family and your family loves you. I can see that in you. And I know Linda can, too. Mike and Linda can see that that you love your family. But what what what I want you to see for a minute is that this this man that was killed earlier, the man that you shot earlier, he has a family too that loves him. Okay. So, so I think that the right thing to do is just walk us through what happened, tell us what happened and what happened step by step. Okay. While Oscars tried his best, his lies are simply too easy to disprove. Because both witness testimony and video evidence point to him as the one who pulled the trigger, and frequent references to his family only seem to seal the deal. So, as Oscar subtly admits his guilt, he begins to tell his story. >> So, did you arrange this meeting with the man today? >> What time did you begin talking to this guy? a day yesterday. >> How did you find my friend? >> How did you find the bike for sale on marketplace? >> Yeah. >> Where is the bag at >> the woods? >> Bag is in the woods. Can you tell me where at in the woods? entrance to the subdivision. If you're at the main road going into the subdivision, would it be on your left or your right? >> Left. Describe the bag for me. >> Blue bag. Is it regular blue like this or is it dark blue? >> It's dark blue. Black. >> And is that what all is in the bag? Yes. Fake money. >> Real money and fake money. Is it the same amounts that you taught me? >> 5,000 in fake money. >> No. No. It was not fake. 2,000 fake money. >> 2,000 in fake money. >> 2K or fake. And how much real? There is some real money in there. >> So, let's go back to you arriving at the house in the river. So, when you get there, officer, did you did you message the guy? What's the guy's name? >> You don't know his name? >> Did you text him? >> Yeah, text me. >> You text him and what did you say? was almost there. >> Okay. You come into the garage and tell us what happened. >> Did you see the bike? He was telling me that. >> Tell me about this bike because I' i've been riding a Honda dirt bike since I was about seven. So, this is a a CRF450. So, that's a four- stroke. So, you don't have to mix oil. So, tell me tell me what what add-ons were on the bike. Is it uh stock or does it have a bunch of add-ons? >> This is stock. >> Stock. What was the price? >> 35 >> 3500. >> So that was the price. So there's a stock bike. No add-ons. >> Do you know Do you know how to ride it? >> Correct. >> Okay. So what was he telling you about the bike? >> He was telling me that it was a clean bike. >> Clean bike. Did Did he Let me tell you, if if I was going to look at a Honda dirt bike like that, I would be afraid that a kid or an older teenager had probably like like ragged it out. Does that make sense? And so, did this bike look was it clean? Did it look like it had been taken care of? >> It was. >> Okay. >> Clean bike. >> So, no no marks on the side. Did it looked like it had been laid down? No. >> So, you're probably like me. You would be looking to see if it'd been abused. So, this this bike was clean. >> So, did you think 3500 was a good price? >> Yeah. >> But now, were your intentions to try to buy the bike with fake money? >> That was what that's what you wanted to do. How would you with with coming up here in an Uber from Union City, if he sold you the bike and he didn't catch on that the money was bad, how would you have gotten home with the bike, >> right? >> You would ride it. A CRM 450 is not street legal. So, I have to ask you, Oscar. I'm starting to like kind of question this a little bit. But what was the plan? What was your plan? So, you don't know this guy. You don't know this guy, but Carlos told you to come and look at the bike. Is Carlos a friend to this guy? >> He knew him. He just knew the guy as an acquaintance. >> But I'm just trying to understand who goes to buy a dirt bike with no way to get it home. So is it is there something more to this? >> No. >> Clearly Oscar's mind was more on his shiny new dirt bike than a halfway decent plan to steal it. But there's something else he didn't plan for. The man who caught on to his scheme being so determined to not let him escape. >> When he said it's clean and you looked at the bike, what did you do? I just have my the bag in the garage. >> You hand it in the bag like you were going to pay for it. >> Yeah. >> Then it was in the back. Yeah. The bag. It was off the bike and then he he say the money. >> You go to the money. >> Okay. So, did he figure out the money was bad? Yeah. >> Where did you get the money? Where'd you get the fake money from? >> You got the fake money from Carlos. Did Carlos send you up here to buy the bike? No. He just He just told me that for sale. I wanted some for real, like real money, but he said he just didn't fake money. He he ain't going to do one night. He he said that. >> So basically Carlos Carlos told you it'd be easy to rip the guy off by showing this fake money and just leave with the bite. But but how are you going to leave with the bite? >> I give him my back. I put in the ration. >> Like what were you going to do? like I just left the bag in the direction and he said you can ride it and he the side out. >> He offered to let you test drive it. >> Yeah. He just was looking at the money. >> Mhm. >> Was he was >> Okay. And and so then what happened? I think it was your phone. >> And then you you had this gun on you. >> Where did you get this gun? What kind of gun is it? >> It's like >> Why did you pull your gun out? >> It was It was >> I don't know why. Okay. >> Did you say him with a gun? >> Yeah. What color was it? >> It was like black. >> Where was the gun at when you saw it? >> It was It was in his side. >> In his inside tucked inside his pants on his left side. >> No, right in >> his waistband. >> Was he Did he have it in his hand? Brown. >> So, you pulled your gun. Where did you shoot him at first? I know it's hard to talk about, Oscar, but we we need to talk about this. >> I don't know. I just keep straight and turn around and go. >> How many times did you shoot? >> More than once. >> More than five. >> More than eight. Try to think for me. Try to try to estimate if you can. You're sure it was more than five? >> Did he drop? No. >> Did he have your phone like you told me earlier? >> Yeah. >> Did you go back and get your phone? Did you stand over him and shoot him again? >> No. >> Oscar, tell me the truth. >> No, not in your hand. I just turn around and just >> listen to me. This is very important. I need you to tell me the truth. Did you stand over him and shoot him again? >> Yeah. My phone. >> You did. You stood over him and shot him again. Where did you When you stood over him and shot him, where did you shoot him at? >> Are you sure? >> You're sure? Or did you shoot him in the head? >> So you're saying that after you took your phone back, you shot him in the chest? >> When you stood up, did you shoot him one time or more? >> One time. >> One time. >> When asked why he continued to shoot his victim, Oscar's response is nothing short of chilling. Why did you shoot him after you had already shot it? >> He was moving. >> He was moving. >> Were you mad at him? >> You weren't mad at him. Were you just upset? Why did you shoot him while you were standing over him? Because he was moving. What What made you want to do that? Were you angry inside? >> Since I met They do not >> you just you acted without thinking. Is that what you're saying? >> And along with the foolproof evidence, it's more than enough to charge him with Josh's murder. But there's still more to dig into when it comes to this senseless crime. So, after a mediocre snack from the department vending machines. >> Okay, buddy. I wish I could have got you a better snack. I'll find you something else in a little bit. Okay. >> The detective moves on to another pressing concern. the location of the bag containing the counterfeit bills. >> You got to help me out, partner with the bag. Where's the bag? >> Yeah, the bag with the money. Where is it? >> You threw it in the woods. You think it's stuck up in a tree? It's in a tree. >> Did you put it somewhere? >> Let's talk about this for a minute. You've been like good with us and I want to keep it that way. >> Can you tell me where the bag is? You know where >> the side of the house? >> The house where the guy lived. >> No. >> Which house? >> Entrance. >> At the entrance of the subdivision. It's at one of the houses. >> Which house? >> Like you're going in from the main road. The first one on the left. >> Yeah. >> Where is it at? It's behind the house. >> Help Hel help me out here. Where at behind the house? >> The little It's like in the corner of the house. >> Is it under a porch? >> Yeah, >> it's under a porch. >> You threw it under a porch. >> The first house on the left. Let's go check that real quick. >> The back porch. >> Are you sure? Yes. >> You're 100% sure. >> Yeah. Behind the porch. >> First house on the left. >> The back. Yeah. >> Under the back porch. >> Yeah. >> Oscar claims to have stashed the bag under a porch near the scene of the crime. But despite a diligent search, officers are coming up empty-handed. >> Okay, buddy. We're trying to find this bag. You got to help me. Where's Where's the B? >> Porch. >> Is it above the porch or under the porch? >> Under the porch. >> It's under the porch. First house on the left. >> You sure? >> Yeah. >> Cuz they're they're back there looking for it right now. Are they going to find it? >> Yeah. >> Is this a backpack? a shoulder kind of like a over the shoulder type bag. >> What brand is it? >> No. What's that now? >> It's a big one. >> It's a big backpack. >> Does it have the two straps on it? Just one >> big backpack. It's blue. >> Blue, black, white. >> Blue, black, white. You don't know what brand? It's not like Adidas or Nike or nothing like that. >> What's that? >> It's other other type of >> And are are you sure that we're at the right house? If you're coming in from the main road, >> it's like the >> coming into the subdivision. >> Yeah. Like from >> the first house on the left or the first house on the right? >> Um cuz Yeah. I mean on the right. Right. in the right. >> Yeah. How many on the right house? >> Is it on the same side of the road where you went in and looked at the four-wheeler >> or the motorcycle? >> Yeah, the >> the same side as the motorcycle. >> Yeah. >> Is it the next door neighbor? >> No, it's just is the the first the first house. >> The first house coming into the subdivision on the left. You're sure it's not in any of the trash cans >> on the side >> bucket in the corner. >> Under a bucket. What color bucket? >> They don't they don't see it like in the corner of the porch. >> Is that the corner of the porch? Under a bucket. >> It's in the bucket. >> It's in the bucket. But you can't remember what what is the bucket plastic? Is it like a five gallon bucket? >> No, they can see it's just those two buckets >> back corner and you put it in the bucket. >> Say that again. >> Yeah. >> You threw it in there. >> Did you put something over it? There's two buckets together. What color are they? They're black >> two black buckets and you put the bag in one of them, but there's nothing on top of it. >> And you're sure it's that first house? >> And then and then is that where you waited on the car to pick you up? >> Yeah. They car from the world and he pick up from the house just walk to caring straight. >> Okay. So, you're telling me the truth about the the bag? >> Yeah, I got it. >> You got it. Okay. Okay. Thank you. >> You want another ice cream sandwich? Okay. >> Officers find the bag just as Oscar described, and its incriminating contents are a virtual starter kit for crime, including black gloves, a knit cap, and thousands of dollars in counterfeit cash. But even though detectives have their confession, there's much more to the story they'd like to know, like where all that fake money came from and how his friend Carlos may or may not be the mastermind behind it all. >> I did want to ask you about um Carlos I want to go back to Carlos cuz he knows this guy. How does he know? >> He was a bike. >> He said what? >> He was told that he had >> Did he buy a bike from him before or >> just He just told you he had bikes? Yeah. >> Did he show you the list on work in place or did you just find it by yourself? >> Yeah, >> he sent me his page. >> He showed you his page. >> Yeah, >> okay. So, were you with Carlos yesterday? >> No, >> you weren't with Carlos >> yesterday. How did he show you? like a week ago he was in my house. >> Are you related to him? You don't know where he works at? >> No. >> But you invite him over for cookout. >> Yeah. >> Did you tell us earlier that Carlos gave you the fake bunny? No. >> You didn't tell us that earlier?
