Where's mom? I don't know.

Mom, it's not worth it.

It's okay.

We're together.

I suppose it matters.

Guys!

Dave, Steve, Gerald, come on!

Let's go! Come on, come on, come on!

Get up on that thing. Come on, here.
Here, I'll help you up. Come on.

Come here.

It's okay, I got you.

Come on, guys.

It's okay, Dave.

I got you.

Dave, come on.

Is this okay?

I know I kind of dropped out for a
while.

Hi.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, hey, hey.

No running by the pool.

This place is really nice.

Well, the price was right.

Yeah, my commute is quick, and Mom's
just down the road.

But it's a lot of work.

You need some help fixing it up?

Do we ever. Hey, Christopher.

You want to help me get Aunt Stacy and
Susan's backyard into shape? Sure.

Really? I can't get you to do your
chores at home.

Aunt Stacy's a fool.

How long are you staying, Ricky?

Oh, I picked up some work in town.

I was hoping maybe I could use one of
your spare rooms. Yeah, well, take a

at the schedule. I'll let you know.

Mary's coming, too?

Nah. She's staying close to home.

Her mom's sick.

You're looking good, Mom.

I like that jacket.

Daisy bought it for my birthday.

I told her not to spend any money on me,
but it was not a big deal.

Daisy doesn't have any kids to spoil.

Not that she doesn't try hard with mine.

Guilty.

Cheers, everyone.

Cheers.

Look how handsome Grandpa looked walking
you down the aisle.

I still can't believe he's gone.

What happened to his estate, Mom?

He had a lot of money, yeah?

He lived a good, full life.

So your father wasn't at the wedding at
all?

I don't know how much faith you told
you, but our father was an alcoholic

psychopath, and I didn't even tell him I
was getting married.

And if you would have known Grandpa was
walking you down the aisle, it would

have killed him. And us, too.

Puts a whole new twist on shotgun
wedding.

Are you all serious?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Then Dad took off not too long after
that. What was it, a week before the

wedding? Mm -hmm. He didn't say where.
We didn't go looking.

I still miss him sometimes.

You're pretty quiet.

I'm wiped out.

Yeah, me too.

Well, it was nice to have a visit with
everyone.

I thought they would never leave.

Suze?

I never left, girl.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Still furious at Marilyn?

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, you never want to talk about it.

Holding it in is going to give you an
ulcer. I just, I don't understand how

could miss him.

He hurt us every day.

It's his only full -time job.

How do you get away with it?

Oh, he could convince anyone that we
were fine.

Cops, neighbors, paramedics.

And if anyone started to catch on, we'd
just up and move.

Twice he burnt down our house for the
insurance.

Once with us in it.

Oh, my God.

He convinced me, all of us, that we were
bad.

Defective.

He wanted me so low I'd just stay in
that house and be happy to burn.

How did you get out of the fire?

Ricky.

Ricky saved me and Cheryl.

He must have defended us against death,
like, at least a dozen times.

Even if it meant getting a beating.

Wow.

He really stepped up for you both.

I'd like him to stay with us.

You sure?

Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't for Ricky, I
wouldn't be alive.

Much less have a nice house to offer
him.

Yeah, that's fine. I'll come back and
grab this.

Yeah.

It's actually quite nice.

Guess the green thumb runs in the
family, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Gotta get a football practice.

All right.

Oh, you need a ride, compadre? I got my
bike, thank you. Okay.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Love you.

Yep.

This is fun.

I wish we did more stuff together when
we were kids.

Nah, I was way older, though.

Yeah, and our life was a dumpster fire.

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

Dr.

Mary?

We're not together anymore.

Please don't tell Mom.

I won't, no.

Sorry, Ricky.

I guess it's kind of a miracle any of us
have a normal relationship.

Yeah, well, at least Mom was finally
happy.

How can you tell?

Well,

I'm glad you found Susan.

He didn't ruin us all.

Hey, you are so not ruined, okay? You're
a kind, loving, hardworking man, okay?

And you're a sap.

I'm serious.

He's gone.

And we're here getting our hands dirty
building some kind of paradise.

What if we did this for real?

Hmm?

Landscaping. You and I.

I mean, I love your work, but I don't
know anything about starting a business.

I can't. Be rocket science, maybe some
paperwork, advertising, probably got to

get a permit.

Sounds fun.

We get to work outside in the sun
together, getting our hands dirty. What

you say?

Building some paradise?

Come on.

What do you want to do?

Hmm.

Let's do it. Yeah?

Put it there.

All right.

We're there.

I'm hanging up now.

Sign here and here.

Where's the startup money for this bank
account coming from?

I've got about 400 bucks in seed money.

Pun intended.

Yeah.

We've got a good mower and we can rent
anything else we need.

Hope you two know what you're doing.

I do occasionally do something right.
Okay.

This guy's pretty rough.

Oh. Show me green acres.

Oh. Use this as a logo idea.

Hmm.

Christopher, that is an uncanny version
of Uncle Ricky there.

Wow.

Uncanny.

Hmm?

Hey, Cheryl.

I'm really worried about Mom.

No one can find her.

Wait, what do you mean no one can find
her?

Nobody's seen her.

I'm on my way to her house right now.

Okay. I'll call you back. No, we'll meet
you there.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom, are you here?

What exactly did Judy say?

She... Said Mom didn't show up for work.
She didn't call in. Nothing.

Well, her car's gone outside.

She's got to be somewhere.

Mom would never leave the kitchen a mess
like that.

Is it a mess?

Yeah, to Mom it is.

Something terrible has happened.

We don't know that.

Oh, my God.

It'll be 11th.

15 years to the day that Dad left.

Are you sure that this wasn't just...

Silver alert situation.

No chance your mom just wandered away.
No, her car is gone.

Also, she doesn't have dementia.

Okay, Mrs. Bracken, we're going to put
your mother's license plate into the

system. Flag her ATM and credit card.

Dad's too smart to use Mom's card.

What are you talking about?

We think our father may have taken our
mom.

He's been threatening to kill her
forever, and he is a violent and

man. Does she have a restraining order?

I don't think so.

We haven't been in touch for years.

Mom said that she'd been getting hang
-up calls.

Did he threaten her?

He just laughed real soft.

That's him.

He always said if we had kids, he would
kill them.

Okay. If you wouldn't mind putting that
in the report, every detail helps.

These letters are from Social Security.

Did you know Mom's been collecting death
benefits?

No, she didn't talk about money.

Dad would be furious if he found out
she's been cashing a check all these

Why can't he just leave us alone?

He always is.

We should tell him about this.

Defrauding Social Security is a serious
crime. It's a way to be before we

incriminate Mom.

Hey, look, I know you're all worried,
but if your mom's car and clothing are

gone, she probably just left on the fly
and forgot to call.

Feel free to reach out if you think of
anything else.

Thank you, Detective.

Thank you.

You're going into work?

10 a .m. to midnight.

Now that Ricky's got his own place, I
can't sit around here worrying.

This feels weird, leaving you alone
right now. No, no, no. It's just a week.

It's okay. You can't miss your mom's
birthday cruise.

Marilyn's fine.

She's coming home. And she lives just
down the street. Go check if she's home

anytime. Yeah, I just wish I could talk
to her.

Hear her voice.

Anything.

You will.

That's my ride. Are you sure you're okay
alone?

Yeah.

Send my love to your mom.

I will. Okay.

Love you.

Hello? Mom?

Told you I'd be back for you, girl.

What are you two doing here? Same thing
as you probably, hoping for some sign of

Mom. Came to get her mail.

What's going on, Dave?

Dad, I know it.

He's stalking me, following, calling. He
called you?

Hey, you're being paranoid.

I know his laugh.

If he's watching, then he knows about my
kids.

What if he comes after them?

That's why I'll do whatever it takes to
protect Chris and the girls.

Yeah, me too.

Anything.

I just hope it's not him.

You don't believe me?

I don't mean that.

Look,

you know Mom better than anyone.

She's never broken a law in her life.
Instead of getting letters from the

government talking about Dad's Social
Security checks, we've got to consider

maybe did just take off.

She'd never do that without telling us.

No, she wouldn't. Not after Dad.

Any news from the police?

No, there are no pings on her ATM. Not
on her credit card, her car's e -pass.

Yeah, no matter where she is, mom's been
ignoring these letters for a long time.

They might try to seize her house.

Well, maybe I should take some of her
belongings for safekeeping, like family

photos, jewelry.

Okay, how about I pack up mom's
valuables and put them in storage?

Does that work for everybody?

Fine by me. Yeah, thank you, Richie.

Savannah, the truth is going to come
out. Lifetime is bringing The Grizzlies

back to reality.

Dad got a 12 -year sentence.

Mom got seven.

Crispy Knows Best was the highest rated
show. The very next day, this show is

canceled. And it gets realer than ever.

Our household is completely divided.

I'm about to get mad at me. I don't even
want to have a relationship with him.

I have nothing to hide. And depending on
how long this interview goes, you might

see more than what you bargained for.

The Grizzlies, back to reality.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

This guy teaches an acting program.

Could change your life.

Can you marry me?

Yes!

You're 51, and she's 16. I don't want to
smile while the world laughs at us.

I'm the one looking out for you! I'm the
only one who loves you! The tabloids,

the media, that Courtney isn't real.

Who is the real Courtney?

I was a child bride, Courtney Stodden's
story.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

It was Dad.

Just staring up at me like he always
used to do.

Terror and intimidation before he comes
in for the kill.

I have nightmares too, where I could
swear he's standing right there. I was

awake.

So, you haven't seen him?

No, thank God. Detective Hopkins says
there's no sign of him.

Well, maybe I should call him.

If the police take out my house, maybe
they can catch Dad and then find Mom.

I think the police know what they're
doing.

What are they doing?

They're not really proactive.

It's not like she's going to use her ATM
if she's dead. Hey, hey, keep your

voice down. You're going to scare my
kids. They should be scared.

The monster is out there.

Hey, guys, TV off. Go to your room.

Thank you.

Hey, do you think maybe I could crash on
your couch until Susan gets back?

I would love that but our house is so
full.

We don't have the room.

I know.

Daisy?

Oh, my God.

What's going on? I see you pull in and
run inside. The devil's after you. No,

Dad's following me. What?

He was right there.

Look, he left this on my car. What are
you talking about?

Man.

Wait.

You saw me pulling up?

Where?

I was just over at Mom's house, packing
up her stuff.

Can you just be with me?

Just until Susan gets back.

Yeah. Okay. Of course, whatever you
need.

Thank you.

A

little

early, isn't it?

Yeah. Susan loves Christmas.

She got all this stuff on clearance last
summer.

Now that we own our own house to
decorate, it's going to get very

Well, me, you never got to celebrate
Christmas.

Except for the time Dad killed Santa.

It's all funny.

It kind of is.

He got so mad when I wrote that letter
to Santa.

When you get mad, it has to give you
hope.

Christmas morning, there was Dad with a
shotgun and a grin and blood all over

the roof.

Killed Santa Claus, kids, and Merry
Christmas.

I mean, can you imagine if he put that
much energy into making us happy as he

did into terrorizing us?

Hmm. Well, he didn't do much.

He got the blood from Buddy who
processed deer, made me go up on the

spread it all around, pointed his
shotgun at me the whole time.

What?

I didn't know that.

Guess he's trying to bond with me.

Kind of thick, huh?

He was thick.

But he's blood.

Do you ever feel him bubbling inside of
you?

No, I don't.

Hey, but you know when I see you with
Christopher?

Talking, shooting hoops, like really
being there.

That's bonding.

You're good at it.

God, I love that kid.

Kind of feels like my second chance.

Is that weird?

No.

Hey, get some rest.

I'll keep you safe.

So there's been no sign of him since
that night? No, the police said that...

The photo didn't mean anything.

Well, they say it's not an overt threat.

But worry not, I've been Stacy's
faithful guard dog.

Well,

I can't have another bite.

And Ricky, let us chip in on the
takeout. You've been paying for

No, no, no, no. This is kind of a
celebration.

You might not believe it, but I won the
Fantasy Five.

What? Yeah, it's not the Powerball, but
it's still a good chunk of change. What?

And I want to share it with you both.
You've been so generous to me when I

needed it.

No, no, no, no. Keep your money. We
don't need anything.

You need a new truck.

I do need a new truck.

Well, let me cover the down payment.

Oh, man.

Yeah. That's fantastic.

So exciting. Let's go tomorrow.

Go check it out.

Isn't she sweet?

You know, you don't have to put all of
Mom's stuff in storage.

We don't want her to come back to an
empty house.

We just want her to come back.

And she'll want her stuff in case of
security.

Seizes the house.

I thought the house was paid off. How
could they seize it?

They could put a lien on it foreclosed.

At that point, you don't pay your back
tax.

That's why you might need to sell it to
us.

We can't sell Mom's house.

Stacy, if you want to take Carl's,
you're more than welcome to.

Otherwise, let me handle it.

What is this?

Storage? I don't know. It was here when
Mom bought the place. But leave the rug

for now. I'm just going to put some
river rock down and make this look nice.

Hey.

I'm just trying to protect Mom.

Kind of making this up as I go.

I get it.

I actually called Social Security and
told them I was Dad.

They even changed my name officially.
Took the junior off, put Mom's address

my driver's license.

Really?

Yeah. Told them this year's Richard
Cunanan and I'm alive and well and I'm

cashing my own damn checks.

Bought it.

Guess it'll take the heat off, Mom.

Unfortunately, all our bills are on
autopay through a bank, so it's not

Well, I can call on Monday and see
what's going on. I mean, you don't have

everything.

Appreciate it.

Hi, Janine. I'm calling about a freeze
on a checking account number 243

-860 -9211, and the name is Marilyn

Kananen. Can you please confirm your
date of birth and social security

I'm actually her daughter. I'm just
trying to keep the bills paid while

ill.

I'm sorry, but unless you're a cosigner,
there's nothing we can do.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Yes, I know her cable account is on
autopay, but can I just send you a

Would that be okay?

No, why not?

No, I can't put Marilyn on the phone.

I don't want to reset my password. I
just need help paying the bill.

Uh -huh, yeah.

Okay.

Thanks anyway.

them help with my account?

My name is Marilyn Cananon.

Got news.

I'm pregnant.

Are you happy?

You are glowing. Are you ready for this?

Thought we'd have more time.

Don't worry.

I knew that day was coming.

Mr. West, we're taking you into custody.

Someone is framing Terrence.

No one could have expected this.

A Husband to Die For.

The Lisa Aguilar Story.

Watch now on Lifetime.

Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you
the whole box for $20.

Deal. Thank you.

Hey, so Marilyn's got a bunch of
doubles.

You think she's going to want any of
these? Oh, no, it's okay. You can put

out. Yeah? Yeah.

Here, I'll help you. Okay, thanks.

We're doing good. I know. I know. It's
amazing. Good turnout.

Cheryl, did you know that Stacy's
selling your mother's collectibles?

What? No, that can't be right.

Ricky's putting her stuff in storage.

I just came from a yard sale at your
sister's house, and she said your mom

didn't want them anymore.

How would she know that?

Stacy and Ricky have been doing a lot of
work at your mom's house, fixing it up,

kind of acting like they own it.

Ricky is just keeping her thing safe
until she comes back.

The neighbors have been reported to see
Ricky dumping a lot of trash bags full

of your mother's things.

He and Stacy seem awfully sure that your
mom's not coming back.

Hey, Cheryl.

What did you do to her?

What? I know you know what happened to
Mom, and you better just tell me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Excuse me.

Hey there.

Christopher, right? Uh -huh.

Are you the detective looking for my
grandma?

Yeah, sure am.

It's okay. You can talk to me.

My uncle, Ricky.

Well, you guys are close.

Yeah.

He's great.

But sometimes he kind of gets upset and
rants about things.

Like what?

I don't want to get him or Anastasia in
trouble.

Okay.

If your uncle told you something that
affects this case, you have to tell me.

It's too important, okay?

I just did the wave here.

I don't understand. If they had news,
why couldn't they just call us?

Maybe they found Mom.

I have no idea.

Stacy Canana?

Yes. I'm Detective Miles Avery. Come
with me, please.

I'm sorry. I thought my brother and I
were here to meet Detective Hoskins.

Miss Canana, just come with me.

Detective Corey Hoskins.

We met the night your mom disappeared?

I remember.

Your mother is Marilyn Cananan, born
March 19, 1938.

Is that correct?

Yes.

You share the same birthday?

No. Why did you tell a manager at
SunWest Bank that that was your birthday

that you were, in fact, Marilyn Cananan?

I only did that so that I could keep her
bills paid until she comes home.

Were you aware that your mom was sitting
on a fortune and a trust from her

father? Well, my grandpa passed away a
year ago.

I know that he was well off, but we
never discussed money.

So you didn't use some of that money to
buy a new truck with cash?

No. Ricky gave me a loan for a down
payment.

I still owe plenty.

Did you sell your mother's belongings at
a yard sale because you knew she wasn't

coming back?

No.

Of course she's coming back.

We just spoke with your brother.

Ricky's been telling us some very
interesting things.

Is there a reason why you're harassing
me and not out there looking for my mom?

Well, considering this is the first time
that you've ever come to the station,

you don't seem too concerned about your
mom at all.

My mother... My mother is all I think
about.

You and Rick, you're thieves.

Your names are on bank accounts. You
used to funnel money out of your

trust. Your signature is on checks from
that account.

I know. Are you talking about the
account for the landfilling business? I

understand.

Bingo.

Looks like business is booming.

This doesn't make sense.

There's only supposed to be $400 in that
account. And yet their deposit is

totaling over $108 ,000.

Where's your mother, Stacy?

I don't know.

Did she catch you stealing money from
her?

Confront you and Ricky, maybe things got
out of hand.

No!

Stop lying.

If someone accused me of a crime I
didn't commit, I'd be furious.

I'd be pounding the table.

Well, you weren't raised in a house
where that would get you killed, so...

Stacy, your brother's going down.

Now, do you want to be a defendant or a
witness for the prosecution?

Witness?

Witness.

God.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

What are you doing?

You're my ride, Steph.

Did you steal from Mom?

Why would I do that? I make plenty.

The police, they show me paperwork from
our business bank account.

There's a lot of money in there.

Well, this is what the cops do.

Try to get us to turn on each other.
There is no us, okay?

Not that way.

Mom was going to give Grandpa's money
away.

Not in variety.

It's a lot of money.

That's her call.

Ricky, I don't know what you told the
police, but you gotta tell them the

I had no part in any of this.

It's too late for that.

Why are they tearing up in that car?

Some of this is too late.

Don't you know?

What have you done?

That's why I buried dad.

Buried dad?

When? A long time ago. It doesn't
matter.

It's done.

Why am I so scared that he was after me?

Don't mom know?

I buried him in her garage.

I spoke to the agency in New York, and
they're interested.

Maybe we should give them something
where it will affect you.

We can have our headshots taken and
maybe even win 500 bucks.

13, unsolved homicide.

Yeah, I cut ties with the people that
are holding you back.

This could be life -changing for you.

What do we have to lose?

The girl who survived the Alina Thompson
story.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

Get out of the truck.

No.

If they find Dad, when they find Dad,
they're going to arrest you. You should

probably call a lawyer. Where do you
think you're going?

Inside!

To Susan.

Okay, well, just so you know, the
forensic team is coming here next.

Why would they be coming here?

Because they killed Mom and buried her
in your rock garden.

No.

How could you?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

Just get out!

If I go, you're going down with me. Her
body is buried in your backyard.

You took money from her, too. No, I
didn't.

Paper trail says otherwise.

Tell them the truth, whether you do or
not.

Stephen, we're going to prison for a
long time.

Susan, too.

You leave her alone. She took some of
the money. Who's going to believe we

buried a body in her backyard and she
didn't know? Come on.

I never want to.

I'm your brother.

Well, you're worse than him.

He didn't hide who he was.

Maybe he was in it.

Oh, God.

This is the best thing in my life.

This can't happen.

There's one other way.

Yeah, you tell the police the truth.

We kill ourselves and everything ends.

It's that drive.

Keep it running!

Mom's never coming back.

You can't change that.

But you can still save Susan.

Write a note. Explain how she had
nothing to do with this.

Otherwise, I'll drag you both down with
me.

Why,

Mom? I mean, I understand killing Dad,
he was a monster.

But she did nothing but care for us.

Mom let him in my room when I was six
years old.

She stayed in hell.

And we did too.

Mom made us who we are just as much as
he did.

No, she didn't.

She's never just talking about me.

Well, then I put her out of her misery.

Do it.

You should write that note.

Amy has always been in me.

Like a cancer you're born with.

Maybe Dad did let me kill Mom, though.

Ricky.

You should... You should write a letter.

I will.

Tell him that God's honest truth.

That was all your idea.

Well, look who's awake.

Hey, Stacy.

How you feeling?

Water.

Here you go.

We questioned Ricky.

We're here because we wanted you to have
your say.

We found their bodies, Stacy.

Your dad under your mom's garage floor.

And your mom in your backyard.

I hoped he was lying.

Stacy helped me kill mom every step of
the way.

Blow for blow.

What about your father?

Stacy killed him 15 years ago.

Our end mom.

They called me and I helped bury him.
That's all.

I didn't kill my father.

I didn't. terrified for months that he
was stalking me.

I thought he took her.

Sounds like he wanted us to chase a
ghost while you and Ricky drained her

account. No.

Ricky must have been trying to scare me
to take my mind off. What, the guilt?

No, I was worried for her.

She was real worried Mama was going to
give away her inheritance.

So whose idea was it to kill Marilyn?

Yeah, I thought she'd actually do it.

He what?

Can't you tell he's a pathological liar?

Actually, he seemed real concerned about
you.

Gave him a scare there back at the
storage unit.

I wasn't thinking straight.

Yeah, see, that's what I don't get. If
you didn't do any of this, why kill

yourself?

When Ricky told me that he had killed
Mom, I thought my life was over.

And that he was going to drag Susan into
it?

Send us all to prison?

Suicide seemed like the best option that
would give Susan the best chance.

What innocent person is going to kill
themselves?

Did you guys ever wonder why he walked
away and I almost died?

He made me write a note.

He made sure I was drugged.

If he lives and I die, he puts all the
blame on me. Why can't you think that?

All I see is a woman who killed her
mother for money.

And then faked your suicide.

You're going to arrest me?

No.

No, we're not.

You don't have any evidence.

Ricky got us most of the way.

We'll do the rest.

Are we done?

For now.

Let's go.

Your life won't be the same after this.

Remember that.

How do you know what a man and a woman
do together?

My father talks.

I need to keep her under control at all
costs. I don't question his decision.

I know exactly who he is and I'm going
to tell everyone.

I am God's messenger.

I have a message for my father.

Tell him I'm done.

Surviving My Father, The Rachel Chapp
Story.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

Everybody thinks I did it.

Doesn't matter what everybody thinks.

Is it true you buried your mother in
your own backyard?

She's not answering any questions.

Did you kill Marilyn because you were
concerned that she was going to tell

someone you murdered your father?

How do you feel about your own nephew
turning on you? No more questions.

He's just trying to get you riled up.

It's going to be okay.

You don't know what I've been through in
the last three days.

Hey, I know you.

Life is never going to be the same after
this. That's what Hoskins told me.

They may not be able to charge me, but
I'm still suspect.

And you're their star witness.

And they can't have it both ways.

They're going to try.

We said we could fill this up.

How did she die?

Do you know?

She was asphyxiated.

I can't believe I let him use my fear of
dad to play me.

Yeah, he fooled me too. I thought Ricky
was a good guy.

He called me paranoid when it was him
standing right here.

He probably buried her using tools I
helped him buy. Yeah, he set you up. But

you told the truth.

I'm going to tell the truth. You had
nothing to do with this.

I want him out of our house.

Every trace.

Susan! What?

She was writing a book about Dad.

Mommy.

Wake up.

Mommy.

Get away from her.

Mommy will be fine.

Get the orange juice pitcher out of the
fridge.

Drop it there beside her.

And call the ambulance and tell them
Mommy had an accident.

Shouldn't you call them?

How could I do that if I wasn't here
when it happened?

I'm sorry.

The number's by the phone.

You're not an idiot.

You're a smart boy.

I am smart.

That's right, you are.

Just like your old man.

And it worked.

Dad came home after the ambulance
arrived. Ricky was in tears, explaining

accident to the paramedics.

But he wasn't sad.

It made him feel strong. It made him
feel smart.

So he admired your dad.

I thought when Dad made him do terrible
things, it was because he threatened

him.

He liked it.

What are you doing here?

You're not answering my calls. I'm
calling a police.

Wait, Cheryl.

Five minutes, please.

You gotta know, I didn't... I didn't
have anything to do with our parents'

death.

How could I kill Mom?

You stole from her.

Richie brought over some things for me
to sign for the new business. Maybe he

slipped something in.

So he did this all on his own? Yes.

Why won't you believe me?

You don't think Dad hurt me?

You don't remember taking me to the
clinic? No.

When I was 14, and my periods were all
messed up, I was bleeding so bad.

What?

I thought I was going to die.

You were there.

The doctor said that the reason why my
periods were so painful is because my

uterus was so damaged.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Okay, stop.

Stop. Said that the damage would stop.

That's why I can't have kids.

Dad, I'm so brainwashed.

We couldn't even accept help. We barely
trusted each other.

I'm telling you, Cheryl, Ricky is trying
to play us against each other.

Just like Dad did.

Now I have my own family to think about.

I know.

I know.

So will you please just go?

Good morning.

Good morning. Are you still having
trouble sleeping?

Yes.

Yeah.

What's that?

That arrived from the prosecutor's
office this morning.

We're both being subpoenaed in Ricky's
case.

They're charging him with first -degree
murder.

Good. That means the death penalty.

Again, good.

Space.

I'm sorry, but he killed your mother,
the press won't leave you alone, and no

one will hire you.

Is that supposed to be a pep talk?

It's reality.

He's done everything he can to ruin our
lives.

I know.

So how can you still care what happens
to him? Because he saved my life so many

times growing up.

He was my hero.

How can I send him to the electric
chair?

You can and you will, because I don't
want to see you in that chair.

Why didn't I just slam the door on him
that day?

Because you're not your father.

You don't take pleasure in pushing
people away, and I love that you're that

person.

After everything your dad's done,
everything Ricky's doing, you still have

big open heart.

You know, the DA told me that if Ricky
takes a plea, all of this goes away, and

we won't have to testify.

Okay. So let's hope he does the smart
thing.

Remember,

it's Ricky we're talking about.

We would like to withdraw the not guilty
plea on both counts and plead no

contest to manslaughter and the death of
Richard Cunanan Sr.

and no contest to second degree murder
and the death of Marilyn Cunanan.

Mr. Cunanan, is this correct?

Yeah. Yes.

May we approach?

Something is not right.

Mr. Cunanan, on the first charge of
manslaughter, you're sentenced to 15

On the second charge of second -degree
murder, you're sentenced to 30 years.

Sentences to run concurrently.

Your Honor, it's our understanding that
Mr. Cunanan has agreed to speak with law

enforcement.

By all means.

Yes, I'm still holding for DA Robin
Wilkinson.

I've left several messages.

Okay, well, can you just tell her to
call back Stacy Kananen?

She has my number.

Thank you.

The prosecutor is avoiding me.

Maybe she's just swamped.

I mean, why are you so worried? You were
there. He took the plea.

Yeah, but it's not the same plea that
the DA and I talked about.

I don't think I'm a witness anymore.

Okay, don't answer it.

We're not home.

And... It's okay.

Hi, Steve.

Are you here to arrest me?

Damn straight I am.

Let's just do this.

Detective, I'd like to surrender to you.

May I?

What the hell are you doing?

Yes, ma 'am, you may.

Yeah.

Stacy Kanan, you're under arrest for the
murders of Richard Kanan Sr.

and Marilyn Kanan.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law. It's

to be okay, Susan.

It's going to be okay.

Look at you, huh?

You're a big man.

Stacy has cooperated with you since day
one.

And you come here with your guns drawn?

What did you think she was going to do?

Come out shooting?

Ma 'am, you need to step back. Stop,
Susan. Go inside.

Go inside.

Why?

the murders of Richard Cannon Sr. and
Marilyn Cannon?

I didn't kill my father.

We found their body.

My mother is all I think about.

All I see is a woman who killed her
mother for money and then faked her

Your Honor, Ms. Cunanan is an upstanding
citizen with no criminal record.

In fact, she's been a cooperating
witness for the prosecution for the last

years. Your Honor, the charges against
Ms. Cunanan are serious. We ask that you

deny bail. Yet we've seen no new
evidence to support these serious

There is new testimony from her brother,
Richard Cunanan, Jr.

Oh. Ms. Cunanan, are you okay?

I'd really like to be released on bail,
Your Honor.

Did that happen to you in jail?

Well, the press have already tried me on
TV, and the women in jail think I

killed my mother.

It doesn't go over very well.

I will grant Bond in the amount of $100
,000.

Your Honor, in the death of Richard
Cunanan Sr., we are willing to drop

Because they have absolutely no
evidence. But in the death of Marilyn

we are changing charges.

to a first -degree murder.

They're going for the death penalty.

Court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Lubit presiding.

Please be seated.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on
September 10th, 2003, Marilyn Kananen, a

grandmother of three, left her place of
work at the Delta Academy and drove

home. Her E -pass pinging through Toll
Plaza at 5 .53 p .m.

This is the last time that she was seen
alive.

Over the next few days, I will
demonstrate to you how Stacey and her

Richard collaborated to steal from their
mother and kill her.

They used a stun gun on her.

They suffocated her.

They stuffed her body in a freezer, and
they buried her in Stacey's own

backyard.

When all is said and done, I am quite
confident that you will find Stacey

Conanan guilty of first -degree murder.

Good morning, everybody.

My name is Diana Tennant, and this is my
client, Stacey Conanan.

Nearly all of the prosecutor's evidence
that points to Stacy was known by law

enforcement by December 22, 2003.

Yet at the end of that day, Richard was
arrested, charged with murder, and Stacy

was cooperating fully for the
prosecution as witness.

The prosecution that now wants to put
her in the electric chair.

My client's story never changed because
she's telling the truth.

The only thing that did change between
2003 and 2007 was that Richard Kennan,

who was facing the death penalty,
decided to weave his fifth version of

happened.

With each story, keeping more of the
blame, more of the motive, and more of

guilt onto my client.

With each story, getting moved to a
better facility, receiving better mental

health care, and even having his
sentence reduced.

I am confident that you will not find
Richard Conant an incredible witness.

And if he isn't, there is not near
enough evidence to convict my client of

murder.

Thank you for your time.

I appreciate it.

Ms. Wilkinson, you may call your first
witness.

Thank you, Your Honor.

The fake calls Richard Conant Jr.

I'm your brother.

You're just like him. I swear to tell
the truth.

And nothing but the truth. So help me
God.

I'll draw you down with me.

We're going to prison for a long time.

Mr. Conant, did you kill your mother?

Yes.

Was anyone else with you?

Yes.

My sister.

Whose idea was it to kill your mother?

It was Stacy's.

At any point did you try to discourage
her?

Sure. But once I realized her mind was
set, I felt like I had to go along with

it to try to protect her.

I guess that makes me a sap.

Stacy and I...

Took Mom for dinner and a movie.

When we got home, Stacy tasered her.

Then I put a bandana over her face until
she was suffocated.

Then we put her in the freezer until we
could bury her in Stacy's yard.

No further questions, Your Honor.

For 45 minutes, she walked Ricky through
all five of his different stories,

including his claim that he traveled the
country to save abused kids and

murdering people in the mob. I hate that
I can't be there.

I know, but I'm just glad that you're
going to be able to testify to tell them

that I'm, you know, a good person.

Do you think the jury will believe him?

I'm confident that Stacey wrote the
suicide note to Susan.

And what about the signature on the
cheque?

You confident that that Stacey can add
in as well?

I believe it's probable, but I cannot
defensively say that it is.

In fact, based on dozens of documents
signed by Stacey, each one includes her

middle initial, M, for Marie.

Isn't that right?

Yes, from the large sampling that I've
examined, her signature always includes

that initial.

Was that initial on the cheque?

No, it was not.

No more questions, Your Honor.

I received a phone call from a woman who
said she was Marilyn Kananen.

She provided the account number, but
there was a security flag on it.

A missing persons report.

So I told her to call Detective Hoskins.

And what happened next?

Stacey Kananen called and left a message
for me.

So even though you want us to believe
that she was stealing from her mother,

Stacey did exactly what she was supposed
to do.

when she learned the accounts were
frozen?

Yes.

Hmm.

Now, when you walked Richard through the
night of Marilyn's murder, he said that

he and Stacy took her to see a 6 p .m.
showing of Charlie's Angels.

Charlie's Angels 2.

Right. Thank you.

Details are important. Wouldn't you
agree?

But in your earlier testimony, you said
that... The e -path on Marilyn's car

pinged at a toll booth by her house at 5
.53 p .m.

That's right.

And yet you're saying that she was
sitting with Richard and Stacy,

Angels 2, all the way across town just a
few minutes later?

That's what Richard told me.

Did you call the theater?

To see if there was a later screening of
the movie?

No, I did not.

Did you check any of the details of the
story that Richard told you in which he

incriminated my client?

No. Detective Hoskins.

It sounds like you saw Stacy's forged
name on a check and decided she was

guilty.

No more questions, Your Honor.

The victim was wrapped in two heavy
-duty trash bags with duct tape around

hands and feet.

She was dressed in a T -shirt, shorts,
and a denim jacket.

I gave her that jacket.

And for what purpose was it packaged
like this?

To contain the smell.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You have to eat.

The DA keeps throwing her jacket in the
jury's faces, talking about maggots and

bodily fluids.

Shock and awe.

That's the game.

They don't have much real evidence, so
they have to gross the jury out.

Make it seem inhuman.

That's why your testimony is so
important.

I don't know if I can do it.

Because the entire country is watching.

How am I going to talk about what my dad
did?

I've never talked about it.

That's why we have to do it.

The jury needs to understand why you
were so passive.

They need to hear about your father's
abuse.

You've been trained your whole life not
to speak out.

Ricky counted on that.

That's why it's so hard.

Your voice may be soft, but it's
powerful.

Since the start, you said if we lose
because you told the truth, that's okay.

But if you lose because you didn't get
on the stand, we have no appeal, and

you're screwed.

This is Channel 6 reporting live outside
the Orange County Courthouse. After

weeks of trial proceedings, the final
witness for the defense will be Stacey

Kananen herself, who is scheduled to
testify today.

I swear to tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so

me God.

Growing up, what was your relationship
like with your siblings?

We never learned how to be close because
of my father's abuse.

We were kept apart by fear and
intimidation.

Were you abused as a child?

Yes.

Can you tell the audience about an
instance and how you dealt with it?

The one that I remember the most was
when we lived in Arkansas.

My parents fought, and my dad decided
that he was going to leave and take

and I with him.

He put us in the car, and he drove to a
tavern where he got good and polluted

and then went back home.

It was 2 a .m.

when we got to the house.

My sister and I went to go to our
bedroom, and he grabbed my arm.

I was going to share his bed instead of
her.

Did your mother try to protect you?

No.

But I don't blame her.

Put me in their room, locked the door,

and then pulled out a handgun.

Did you fight back?

No.

The only way to keep him from pulling
the trigger is to lie there and be

Then what happened?

How old were you?

How did that make you feel?

You're the only man in the world that's
supposed to keep you safe, and

he was enjoying hurting me.

I've had no control over my life or
death.

And honestly, that is how I felt since
the police told me about what Ricky did.

I've done nothing wrong.

And I can't fight back.

And I know that I was naive, but I
trusted my brother.

And your brother knew how ingrained it
was in you to just lie there and be

quiet?

He knew.

Did you kill your mother?

No. Did you help your brother kill your
mother?

Absolutely not.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Prosecution, you are witnessed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

You expect us to believe that your
brother won the lottery and they started

showering you and Susan with gifts?

No, Ricky gave me a loan of $2 ,500 for
a down payment on a truck I really

needed.

And the suicide note that you wrote
where you said we had a part in mother

leaving, that's referring to you and
Ricky?

Yes, I guess so.

And you're being so honest.

with us because you assumed that you
would be dead by the time the note was

found. I didn't know if I was going to
live or die, but I knew that I let a

monster into my house a few doors down
from my mother, and he turned

my sister against me.

I should have never let that man move
into my home.

So why did you kill your mother?

I never killed my mother.

No further questions, Joan.

It's good that the jury wanted to go
straight into deliberation instead of

waiting the weekend.

Thanks.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah, I'm just wondering if this is
going to be our last night.

Ever.

The verdict's in.

If you have anything personal on you,
hand it to Susan.

You don't think we're going to win? Just
in case.

Okay.

Here.

I'm going to give these back to you in a
few minutes, and then we'll go home.

Court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Lubitz presiding.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.

I know that it's very late and we are
all very tired.

But I appreciate the jury's decision to
stay as long as it took to get this

done.

May I have the verdict, please?

In the circuit court for the 9th
Judicial Circuit for Orange County,

the state of Florida versus Stacy
Kananen.

I told you I'd be back for you.

Hey, it's okay.

I got you. Come on.

Hey, Stacy, it's me, Ricky.

Hi.

We, the jury, find the defendant... not
guilty.

So say we all this 12th day of March,
2010.

Ms. Kananis, a jury of your peers has
found you not guilty.

At this time, you are released from all
your bonds.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Court's adjourned.

You are free to go.

Your life is yours now.

I'm sure as hell I'm never going to take
that for granted again.

Oh, my God.

Hi.

Amber, right?

I'm Stacey.

Your victim's advocate.

Hate the word victim.

Usually just means survivor.

Normal human being in a sea of angry,
vicious people who are supposed to be

loved ones.

Am I getting warm?

I'm just here because the court said I
had to be.

Can you just sign the paper so I can go?

I know you've been through a lot.

And you don't have to talk to me about
it.

But it might help.

We've got an hour.

I'm here to listen.

You wouldn't understand.

Try me.
