He could talk about it. 124 00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:53,800 Although the divorce was almost four years old by then, but he had a 125 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,020 to talk about it like he was reliving it. 126 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,460 How did he feel about his old man? 127 00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,920 Donald loved his father very deeply. 128 00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:10,880 I had the feeling that he hoped that one day if he was a good boy, that is, if 129 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,579 he redeemed himself somehow, that his father and mother would be reunited. And 130 00:17:15,579 --> 00:17:17,880 that's all he talked about almost every session that we were together. 131 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:20,790 Yeah, but she's planning to marry some other dude. 132 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:23,650 You see, Donald lived in two worlds. 133 00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:29,650 A fantasy world where his dreams came true, where he was successful, and a 134 00:17:29,650 --> 00:17:34,070 rather shabby world that he constructed out of his own sense of guilt. 135 00:17:36,030 --> 00:17:37,030 And failure. 136 00:17:38,770 --> 00:17:43,450 So, uh, he lived in both of these worlds at the same time, and eventually he 137 00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:46,450 would have had to make a choice, you know, one of these two worlds, but, 138 00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:48,490 I thought it was too soon to force this decision. 139 00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:52,870 Were there any indications that he might kill himself? 140 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:54,430 No. 141 00:17:59,010 --> 00:18:02,050 Unless I missed a signal somewhere. 142 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:11,170 The chief didn't actually say he agrees with me. 143 00:18:11,730 --> 00:18:13,170 He kind of doubted you, didn't he? 144 00:18:13,730 --> 00:18:14,730 That rumor. 145 00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:16,180 Locked from the inside. 146 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,880 And the gun was over eight feet away. 147 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,780 Why? I don't know. Maybe the recoil threw it over there. 148 00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:24,600 I suppose it cleared away all the other fingerprints, too. 149 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Fran, we're chasing down all the freaky things. 150 00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:33,540 But if we wind up with logical reasons for them...

You can't spend the 152 00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:38,320 rest of your life trying to prove Donnie was an innocent human. I can spend the 153 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,820 rest of my life trying to get at the truth. 154 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,040 Unless you have a monopoly on it. 155 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,240 I'm sorry. 156 00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:52,460 Okay. 157 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,320 Okay. 158 00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:59,040 Why don't you go in and make sure Liz is all right?

He stayed 20 minutes, then came out. 195 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,560 In the description, it sounds like Frank. 196 00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:56,760 Neighbor also says the hi -fi started about that time. It was very loud. 197 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,420 Loud enough to cover the sound of a shot. 198 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,060 Are you implying that Brad... No. 199 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:05,380 But there are a few things that don't fit, Liz. 200 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,840 There is a possibility that Donnie didn't kill himself. 201 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:17,140 But if he didn't...
