I just couldn't. 191 00:14:10,170 --> 00:14:12,070 I turned right out and I walked away. 192 00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:18,590 Right away, your mind goes to suicide. 193 00:14:18,830 --> 00:14:24,470 Because that would be the only way you could think that... Anything like this 194 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:25,470 could happen. 195 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:31,450 But I did not believe in my heart of hearts it was suicide. 196 00:14:35,190 --> 00:14:39,550 The investigative team begins scouring the home for evidence. 197 00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:47,410 His service duty weapon was found on the bed somewhere between the 198 00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:51,610 knee and his ankle, and there was no indication. 199 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,460 that there was any blood or blood spatter on that firearm. 200 00:15:01,940 --> 00:15:06,380 I observed one round in the chamber, and then it was a 17-round magazine. 201 00:15:07,420 --> 00:15:10,360 I unloaded the magazine, and we do what is called a round count. 202 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,860 I lined all the ammunition up, and I counted. 203 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,680 And I counted 15, 16, 17. 204 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,620 And at first I just thought, I miscounted. 205 00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:27,560 because I knew what that would mean if it was 17. So I ran through it again, 206 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,260 and I counted them again. 207 00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:35,500 I'll never forget, and she said, Detective Dowling, the gun was fully 208 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:36,500 loaded. 209 00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:43,560 The discovery confirms what Corey's father had already observed. 210 00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:47,420 There is no way Corey could have shot himself. 211 00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:50,100 A dead man can't reload the gun. 212 00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:57,820 The rounds that were in the magazine and the firearm were spear rounds. So then, 213 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,720 naturally, we start looking for the spent shell casing from a gun that was 214 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,720 fired. 215 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,240 Right behind the nightstand, kind of in the corner of the room, was a fired 216 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,240 shell casing. 217 00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:15,820 I observed the head stamp to be a Blazer 9mm fired shell casing. 218 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,360 They were different manufacturers. 219 00:16:19,450 --> 00:16:21,210 We knew that there was going to be another gun. 220 00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:28,210 That quickly took my mind to there was somebody else at the scene, and now it 221 00:16:28,210 --> 00:16:29,390 was our job to go find them. 222 00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:34,950 They said to me simply, and to Kara, and to my wife, who would kill Corey? 223 00:16:36,190 --> 00:16:38,410 I was like, who would want to do this? Why would they do this? 224 00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:39,850 I had no idea. 225 00:16:40,670 --> 00:16:42,050 There was no force entry. 226 00:16:42,270 --> 00:16:46,330 It didn't appear like, you know, somebody tried to burglarize the place. 227 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,400 Then I noticed that the slider on the right side in the master bedroom, that 228 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,400 was unsecure. 229 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,640 That was the only... 230 00:16:56,030 --> 00:17:00,150 Point of entry unless somebody had a key. So I believe that the suspect had 231 00:17:00,150 --> 00:17:04,329 checked the residence and noticed that that backslider was left open or knew 232 00:17:04,329 --> 00:17:06,390 that he left the door unlocked. 233 00:17:06,930 --> 00:17:11,849 The statements from the family members about how happy Corey was, how good 234 00:17:11,849 --> 00:17:15,589 things were going with his career and his new girlfriend, things were just 235 00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:19,230 going so well. But I knew that Ashley was the next person that I needed to 236 00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:20,009 talk to. 237 00:17:20,010 --> 00:17:24,810 A lot of outside people don't know what's really going on within that home. 238 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,940 So behind closed doors, violent crimes such as this can occur with domestic 239 00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:30,940 partners. 240 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,680 Hours into their investigation. 241 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,540 Florida detectives have determined Corey Schweitzer was murdered. 242 00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:05,040 And the evidence suggests the shooter could be someone he knew well. 243 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:11,960 The scene did not appear that there was forced entry, a burglary. There was 244 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,080 nothing missing. 245 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,700 It was brought to my attention that Corey did have a current girlfriend 246 00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:20,400 about six months. 247 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:27,350 He supposedly had sent a breakup text message to her, but everybody kept 248 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:30,270 telling me that there was no issue, things were great. 249 00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:39,710 Corey's girlfriend, 22-year-old Ashley Tucker, learns from superiors at work 250 00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:41,950 something is going on at Corey's home. 251 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:46,550 She arrives on scene and speaks with investigators. 252 00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:52,420 When I was at work and they pulled me off and they were like, Corey was found 253 00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:55,420 dead, and I was like, oh, my God. You know, like, I wasn't expecting that. 254 00:18:55,740 --> 00:18:58,140 How long have you known Corey? 255 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,640 I've known him for, like, at least a year. We were co-workers at the jail, 256 00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:02,740 but we didn't start dating. 257 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,680 He's been dating for, like, two months. 258 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,540 And how's y'all's relationship? 259 00:19:06,860 --> 00:19:07,900 Have you ever had a fight? 260 00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:09,120 Never had a fight. 261 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,880 Never had an argument. Never had a bad date, ever. 262 00:19:13,380 --> 00:19:16,160 Quickly, I could tell that Ashley, she was genuine. 263 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,800 She... 264 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,820 was very upset, confused, and just lost someone in her life that meant a lot to 265 00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:24,980 her and her son. 266 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,480 She told me on the 18th, around 5 in the morning, she had texted Corey.

And I'm like... 367 00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:04,950 I didn't even touch you. Like, are we serious right now? And then she claims 368 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:06,610 that I did it in front of the classroom, too. 369 00:27:08,990 --> 00:27:14,110 When attempts to get Kara expelled didn't work, the family says Jacqueline 370 00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:15,110 threatened her. 371 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:22,370 Corey and I had a big argument over her after she threatened her sister. My job 372 00:27:22,370 --> 00:27:26,510 in law enforcement was to protect the innocent and to help people. 373 00:27:27,490 --> 00:27:30,210 That's what you should be going into that career for. 374 00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:34,680 She's somebody that should never, ever have been put on that job. 375 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,400 Records indicate Kara wasn't the only cadet who came into conflict with 376 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,400 Jacqueline. 377 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,360 Sheriff's office detectives had contact with the administration at the academy, 378 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:57,480 and it turned out she was disciplined for what she had done to 379 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,480 other classmates. 380 00:27:59,850 --> 00:28:04,730 Jackie got kicked out of the academy in January 2022. 381 00:28:05,070 --> 00:28:09,590 And he broke up with her. That relationship lasted two years. But I 382 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:14,370 think he basically realized, like, she is as toxic as they are saying. 383 00:28:16,150 --> 00:28:23,050 I think Jackie was manipulative and very controlling when 384 00:28:23,050 --> 00:28:24,050 it came to Corey. 385 00:28:24,510 --> 00:28:29,730 She did not like the fact that we had a strong family bond because she did not 386 00:28:29,730 --> 00:28:30,990 have that with her family. 387 00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:37,090 I was very happy that he was ending that relationship. 388 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:39,650 We had old Corey back. 389 00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:45,750 Corey's loved ones hoped that would be the last they heard of Jacqueline. 390 00:28:46,210 --> 00:28:50,730 But it quickly became clear she was not going away so easily. 391 00:28:52,460 --> 00:28:55,540 She was calling them all the time, bothering them. She was getting very 392 00:28:55,540 --> 00:28:57,300 possessive. She was acting crazy. 393 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:07,100 In July of that year, I got a text message from someone saying, is 394 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:08,100 this Kara? 395 00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:12,040 And all I texted back was why. 396 00:29:12,740 --> 00:29:17,960 After I said why, this lengthy text message came to me. 397 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,580 It was this nasty thing saying that, you know, Carrie, you're a piece. 398 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,120 You should have the crap eat out of you. You're racist. 399 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,420 Nobody likes you. 400 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,840 Nasty things. 401 00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:35,600 We came to the conclusion this has to be from Jackie. 402 00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:42,720 At that point, we had said, listen, Corey, we hope you're not still helping 403 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,720 her financially. 404 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,460 And that's when we found out that he was still helping her a little bit. 405 00:29:48,060 --> 00:29:49,440 He was still paying for her apartment. 406 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,920 He was still buying her groceries. 407 00:29:53,140 --> 00:29:58,820 By that point, Corey had started dating Ashley Tucker, but he wasn't the kind of 408 00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:00,460 person who bore a grudge. 409 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,340 His attitude was, I'm going to help her financially so she doesn't lose her 410 00:30:06,340 --> 00:30:10,120 place, and then what's going to happen is she's going to get another job, she's 411 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,060 going to find a new boyfriend, and then she's going to forget all about me, so 412 00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:15,860 there's no need to hurt anyone's feelings. 413 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,620 But it didn't work that way with her. 414 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,960 After that text message, he was like, that's it, I'm done. 415 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,180 He stopped paying for her apartment and stopped paying for her groceries. Like, 416 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,980 he wanted his relationship with Ashley to be just with her, without Jackie in 417 00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:33,800 the background, like, I need this, I need that. 418 00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,680 He just severed all ties. 419 00:30:37,660 --> 00:30:40,320 And that may have been a catalyst for him getting killed. 420 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,220 Investigators paid Jacqueline a visit at her apartment in Ocala, Florida, 32 421 00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:55,020 miles from Corey's home. 422 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,740 When I got to her residence, I got no answer. 423 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,960 It was about 1 in the morning, so I gave it a shot to try with the neighbor. 424 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,300 He came outside, and he said, yeah, she was here a day prior, maybe two days 425 00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:17,040 prior, but she hasn't been home since, and this neighbor gave me her telephone 426 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,020 number. I tried calling it a handful of times. I got no answer. 427 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,340 I couldn't locate any current family members, so I was a little worried. 428 00:31:30,380 --> 00:31:34,480 After the stories they've heard, detectives can't rule out the 429 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520 possibility Jacqueline might hurt someone else. 430 00:31:38,780 --> 00:31:43,220 There were some concerns about, you know, her being a law enforcement 431 00:31:43,220 --> 00:31:45,520 officer and her training in firearms. 432 00:31:46,890 --> 00:31:52,510 I was concerned that there was an armed individual possibly involved in a 433 00:31:52,510 --> 00:31:54,230 murder. It was a bit scary. 434 00:32:16,430 --> 00:32:21,510 The morning after Corey Schweitzer was found dead, the search for his potential 435 00:32:21,510 --> 00:32:24,810 killer, Jacqueline Johnson Cabrera, gets underway. 436 00:32:25,870 --> 00:32:29,210 But investigators don't have to look very far. 437 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:32,830 I received a telephone call from Jacqueline. 438 00:32:33,390 --> 00:32:35,910 She agreed to meet me at my office. 439 00:32:37,810 --> 00:32:39,990 When I got there, she had a friend with her. 440 00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:48,020 Jacqueline confirmed she and Corey broke up in February 2022, but says she wasn't 441 00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:50,560 the one who seemed unable to handle it. 442 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:58,420 She claims the morning before his death, Corey messaged her trying to get back 443 00:32:58,420 --> 00:32:59,420 together. 444 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:07,000 She texted me Thursday morning. 445 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:12,610 which was kind of out of the blue because he had blocked my number, but we 446 00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:15,290 kept contacting social media, you know, Instagram and Facebook. 447 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:21,070 Yeah. But he texted me and telling me that he wanted to get back and whatever, 448 00:33:21,210 --> 00:33:23,410 and I told him, like, I moved on. Do you have those messages? 449 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:25,570 Yeah, I do. I can show you it. 450 00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:31,390 Jacqueline did allow law enforcement to look at her phone, and they saw some 451 00:33:31,390 --> 00:33:35,750 text messages which weren't consistent with her story. 452 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,360 It was obvious that she was initiating the conversations, 453 00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:46,540 trying to get him to reply. 454 00:33:47,260 --> 00:33:51,960 She had sent hey multiple times, nothing. This was in July. Beginning of 455 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,680 August, she sent another hey, nothing. 456 00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:00,920 Then August 18th, around 8 in the morning, he sends a message. 457 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,940 He wants to get back with her. 458 00:34:05,610 --> 00:34:07,510 She questions, well, don't you have a girlfriend? 459 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:13,889 Corey says, I broke up with her, which didn't seem right. 460 00:34:14,150 --> 00:34:17,110 I think she had sent messages from his phone. 461 00:34:18,270 --> 00:34:20,550 I wasn't believing that Corey had sent them. 462 00:34:22,670 --> 00:34:26,310 Investigators asked Jacqueline to account for her whereabouts during the 463 00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:29,870 previous two days when Corey was allegedly sick. 464 00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:34,790 She had told me that she... 465 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:40,219 Went down to Tampa and was on her way home during the day that we thought this 466 00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:41,219 murder was committed. 467 00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:55,880 She had purchased a 9mm four 468 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,360 or five days before this happened. 469 00:35:06,620 --> 00:35:10,560 And when asked about that firearm, she'd indicated that she gave it to her 470 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,940 friend's mother for safekeeping. 471 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,120 At this point, I knew I needed to probably hurry up and wrap up this 472 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,360 interview because that gun wasn't going to be there very long. 473 00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:29,260 Detectives speak with Jacqueline's friend and get a contact number for her 474 00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,260 mother, Angela. 475 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,760 I then called Angela. 476 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:39,660 And Angela told me, yeah, I have the firearm. It's in my safe and it'll be 477 00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:40,860 ready for you when you get here. 478 00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:46,560 They were under the impression that Corey had killed himself. So they didn't 479 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,080 want Jacqueline to do the same because they thought that she loved him so much. 480 00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:54,780 I told Jacqueline and her friend, hey, I'm going to head up to the house and 481 00:35:54,780 --> 00:35:55,860 I'm going to look at the firearm. 482 00:35:57,020 --> 00:35:58,880 Jacqueline got into her car with her friend. 483 00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:01,980 We left the parking lot and Jacqueline. 484 00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:04,920 Her feet had just stomped the gas. 485 00:36:07,380 --> 00:36:08,600 I lost sight of them. 486 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,120 My worry was that they were going to beat me to the house. She was going to 487 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,720 hurry up and get the gun, and she was going to disappear. 488 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,480 When investigators arrive at the house, they find Jacqueline with her friend's 489 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,480 mother, Angela. 490 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,840 When I made my way into the kitchen, 491 00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:30,660 there lied a TORC 9mm. 492 00:36:31,420 --> 00:36:37,440 sitting in a box, and I grabbed the magazine, 493 00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:42,780 and I looked at the make of the casings, and it said Blazer. 494 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,900 I'll never forget, my hand actually started to shake a little bit because I 495 00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:50,400 knew this was the weapon that had killed Corey. 496 00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,200 Then it goes to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Tampa, their crime 497 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:06,280 laboratory there, to do the firearms examination in comparison. 498 00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:12,340 I still couldn't place her under arrest at this time. I didn't have a way of 499 00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:17,040 putting her at the scene. I still didn't know for a fact that this firearm was 500 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,040 the one used. 501 00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:22,260 I had to wait until FDLE could give me those results. 502 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:31,900 As prosecutors, we often want law enforcement to close every 503 00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:35,120 potential loophole. You might think you have probable cause, which is the 504 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,060 standard for law enforcement to make an arrest. 505 00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:41,080 The standard for me to prosecute is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. 506 00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:04,090 Two days after Jacqueline Johnson Cabrera's gun was sent for analysis, 507 00:38:04,590 --> 00:38:08,330 ballistics experts deliver their report to investigators. 508 00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:14,470 They were able to confirm that the firearm collected from Jacqueline 509 00:38:14,470 --> 00:38:20,090 Cabrera was indeed the weapon used to fire that shell casing and bullet 510 00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:21,210 recovered at the scene. 511 00:38:28,490 --> 00:38:33,690 The following morning, U.S. Marshals arrest Jacqueline at her home in Ocala, 512 00:38:33,810 --> 00:38:37,990 Florida. She is initially charged with second-degree murder. 513 00:38:39,950 --> 00:38:43,630 After submitting a search warrant, we learned that her cell phone was 514 00:38:43,630 --> 00:38:44,630 completely wiped. 515 00:38:45,450 --> 00:38:51,610 So I utilized an investigative tool that processes open source and dark web data. 516 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:57,350 They were able to prove that Jacqueline had an app on her phone that was linked 517 00:38:57,350 --> 00:38:58,249 to her email. 518 00:38:58,250 --> 00:39:02,930 That app linked to Corey's neighbor's Wi-Fi address. 519 00:39:03,530 --> 00:39:08,430 So I was able to prove she for sure was there during the crime that was 520 00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:09,430 committed. 521 00:39:12,070 --> 00:39:17,050 I believe Jacqueline snapped just because she could not accept the fact 522 00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:18,270 that Corey moved on. 523 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,080 You can tell that she was in a very dark place. 524 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,320 She didn't have many people in her life. 525 00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,760 Jacqueline believed that if she could not have him, nobody could. 526 00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:37,120 I believe that she knew Corey's pattern. Of course she knew his pattern. 527 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,580 And she snuck into the house and ambushed him. 528 00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:53,050 There was a contact wound to the left palm exit out of the left side of the 529 00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:57,610 hand. The injury on the palm suggested to me that he was startled. He put his 530 00:39:57,610 --> 00:40:03,770 left hand up, and Jacqueline fired that round at close range, striking his left 531 00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:08,270 hand and ultimately hitting him in the face and killing him. 532 00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:17,390 The fact that she woke him up first, she had to be spiteful enough to... 533 00:40:17,740 --> 00:40:22,860 let him know that she wasn't going to let this go. And I mean, for that, 534 00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:24,920 that's a hard thing to live with. 535 00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:35,520 Jacqueline appears stoic in court, and a grand jury increases the charge to 536 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,100 murder one, which means she will face the death penalty. 537 00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:42,980 In June 2024, 538 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,920 Her attorneys contact prosecutors to work out an Alford plea for first-degree 539 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,840 murder and burglary in exchange for two life sentences. 540 00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:57,860 Florida is a no-parole state. 541 00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,220 It's that simple. 542 00:40:59,460 --> 00:41:04,960 The only way she comes out of prison is when she's in a box, dead. 543 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:10,680 I said 100% she can take life in jail. 544 00:41:12,270 --> 00:41:14,770 I said, I want her to be tortured the way she killed Corey. 545 00:41:15,070 --> 00:41:17,150 Why did she wake him up before she killed him? 546 00:41:17,770 --> 00:41:18,770 Why? 547 00:41:18,970 --> 00:41:20,450 Because you're pure evil. 548 00:41:21,250 --> 00:41:23,610 Pure evil. So yeah, she deserves some evil. 549 00:41:24,210 --> 00:41:26,890 You could say justice is served, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. 550 00:41:27,230 --> 00:41:29,950 It doesn't hurt the family any less. It doesn't bring Corey back. 551 00:41:38,410 --> 00:41:44,990 It was very, very difficult in the beginning to talk about, to see pictures 552 00:41:44,990 --> 00:41:51,890 of him, and just a song on a radio that we remembered he loved would 553 00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:52,890 make me cry. 554 00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:59,670 It was very difficult at holiday time. 555 00:41:59,970 --> 00:42:06,030 It still is difficult, don't get me wrong. And that emptiness that you feel 556 00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:07,030 inside, 557 00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:09,840 We'll never go away. 558 00:42:12,860 --> 00:42:14,200 I think about him every day. 559 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,480 It's heartache. 560 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:23,760 You see, parents with their kids, you don't get that anymore. 561 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,360 You know he's been robbed of his future. He doesn't get to have children. He 562 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,360 would have been a great dad. 563 00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:35,600 Even though he's not here, I still hope he's proud that we can get his story out 564 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,340 there and let it be known. 565 00:42:38,220 --> 00:42:44,060 He was the kindest, most genuine, just, he was an amazing human, and everyone he 566 00:42:44,060 --> 00:42:46,920 met and knew, like, they all knew it.
