1
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:16,976
This is the story of two best friends...
2
00:00:17,084 --> 00:00:20,454
They were always very close, like brothers.
3
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:26,626
They were good kids.
4
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:30,127
...bound together through the good times...
5
00:00:30,231 --> 00:00:32,001
Things started to change.
6
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:33,899
...and the bad.
7
00:00:34,001 --> 00:00:35,801
He seemed paranoid.
8
00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:42,708
Should have just sent him away.
9
00:00:51,452 --> 00:00:54,352
10
00:00:54,455 --> 00:00:57,355
11
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:03,427
It's 1992 in lake elsinore, California,
12
00:01:03,531 --> 00:01:06,501
and the arredondo family have gone fishing.
13
00:01:13,941 --> 00:01:17,211
9-year-old Mark can't wait to get started.
14
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:24,452
And it's not long before
he lands his first catch.
15
00:01:30,825 --> 00:01:34,255
Behind the camera is proud mom, Tammy.
16
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:36,731
Mark was so adventurous.
17
00:01:36,831 --> 00:01:39,871
When he found something
that he loved to do,
18
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:42,767
it was 100 percent.
19
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:45,270
He always had a ton of energy.
20
00:01:45,372 --> 00:01:48,672
He wanted to be involved
in everything that he could.
21
00:01:48,776 --> 00:01:51,406
It's a good thing
that Mark has all that energy.
22
00:01:51,512 --> 00:01:54,652
As the eldest brother
of six boys, he needs it.
23
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,993
The holidays were happy, happy times.
24
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:11,598
The arredondos are
a very close-knit family.
25
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,909
Jason, our second son --
26
00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:23,839
he was always a happy little guy.
27
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:27,506
Then we had Jonathan.
28
00:02:27,615 --> 00:02:30,315
Two years after that, Michael.
29
00:02:30,417 --> 00:02:32,947
Then we had Christopher.
30
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:37,123
It was always crazy, always busy.
31
00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:41,334
But that's what we love.
That's why we had so many kids.
32
00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:46,198
There was always
a pile of laundry on my couch.
33
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,700
My house was always disarrayed.
34
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:52,543
Always a Disney movie going up.
35
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,810
Life was always very happy.
36
00:02:58,012 --> 00:02:59,782
For the younger arredondo boys,
37
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,980
big brother Mark
is the leader of the pack.
38
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,460
Mom! Watch!
39
00:03:16,597 --> 00:03:17,827
Watch!
40
00:03:17,932 --> 00:03:20,132
Growing up, we weren't inside the house.
41
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:23,474
We were out in the backyard riding bikes.
42
00:03:23,571 --> 00:03:26,101
We started riding dirt bikes that year.
43
00:03:29,043 --> 00:03:30,613
Mostly, it was US watching Mark.
44
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:32,541
He was one that was doing
all the cool tricks
45
00:03:32,646 --> 00:03:34,246
and the big jumps.
46
00:03:36,584 --> 00:03:38,824
We were just happy enough
to help him build them
47
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,089
and then be able to watch him jump them.
48
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:47,728
He would say, mom, I'm over here.
49
00:03:50,497 --> 00:03:52,727
The younger brothers always
looked up to Mark.
50
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:54,703
He was their leader.
51
00:03:54,802 --> 00:03:57,202
And back then, I didn't have
a lot of worries
52
00:03:57,304 --> 00:04:00,614
because they had their brother
to look out for them.
53
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,646
Mark was one of the oldest kids
on the block.
54
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:14,989
And as soon as Mark was outside,
55
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:18,489
he usually had an entourage of kids around.
56
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:20,762
He had extraordinary energy.
57
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:24,961
Sometimes it would get him in
a bit of trouble here and there.
58
00:04:25,065 --> 00:04:27,665
That trouble was often shared
with Mark's cousin
59
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:31,868
and best friend, Paul Stoeppler.
60
00:04:31,972 --> 00:04:35,372
Paul and Mark were always
very close, growing up --
61
00:04:35,476 --> 00:04:36,776
like brothers.
62
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:43,977
He wanted to do everything
that Paul did on the bmx track.
63
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:46,424
He just thought that
was the coolest thing.
64
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:53,190
These videos show
a fun and carefree childhood.
65
00:04:53,294 --> 00:04:55,494
But life hasn't always been this way.
66
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:03,171
Mark lost his own birth father,
Mark Corona,
67
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:06,770
when he was just 3 years old.
68
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:10,184
Losing his father at such a young age --
69
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,507
it's hard.
70
00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:16,283
He would cry and say
he wanted to go see his daddy.
71
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:20,152
Tammy later remarried.
72
00:05:20,254 --> 00:05:23,094
And now Mark has become
a father figure himself
73
00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:26,223
to his five half-brothers.
74
00:05:26,327 --> 00:05:28,187
Watch him carefully, Mark.
75
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:30,125
As this home video shows,
76
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:33,470
that role also includes
teaching Rollerblade lessons.
77
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:41,070
Here's little brother Mikey
just learning to skate.
78
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:48,476
Mark was always an inspiration to me.
79
00:05:48,582 --> 00:05:51,822
Mark always tried to push me
as hard as I can
80
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:53,589
and always give it 100 percent.
81
00:05:58,659 --> 00:06:00,459
For the arredondo boys,
82
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:03,597
fooling around in the water is
the highlight of their summer.
83
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,100
That's Mark mugging for the camera
84
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:12,304
and then trying
to get little brother Mikey
85
00:06:12,406 --> 00:06:13,736
to brave going under.
86
00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:15,241
Go underwater, Mike.
87
00:06:19,246 --> 00:06:22,846
All of my boys loved the water.
88
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:25,750
And little Mikey --
I think they were teaching him
89
00:06:25,853 --> 00:06:28,723
to go down under the water
and hold his breath.
90
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:37,632
We had to keep an eye, though,
cause Mark, you know,
91
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:41,171
was bigger, and the little ones,
of course, wanted to keep up.
92
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:46,773
They loved every minute of it.
93
00:06:46,874 --> 00:06:49,314
Mikey was kind of like our crash dummy.
94
00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:51,880
So if we wanted to try something new out,
95
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:53,779
we made Mikey do it first.
96
00:06:58,452 --> 00:07:01,752
And there's their
big brother, Mark. Aww!
97
00:07:09,863 --> 00:07:12,763
For Mark, always looking out
for his gang of followers
98
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,926
is sometimes exhausting.
99
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:17,035
Mark, come here.
I want to show you something.
100
00:07:17,137 --> 00:07:18,297
What?
101
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:20,435
Jayson.
102
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:23,435
When it all gets too much,
103
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:26,614
he has his best buddy, Paul,
to pal around with.
104
00:07:29,016 --> 00:07:32,046
Paul would come and stay
with US on the weekends.
105
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:36,592
He blended in, just like
one of the rest of the boys.
106
00:07:36,723 --> 00:07:40,663
Them having each other
just gave them the companionship
107
00:07:40,761 --> 00:07:42,731
of being about the same age
108
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:47,103
and not having to be
watched over as much.
109
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:51,566
Paul's younger sister, Stephanie,
110
00:07:51,672 --> 00:07:53,812
is also a regular at the arredondo home.
111
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:03,013
Stephanie, being the only girl
with all the boys,
112
00:08:03,116 --> 00:08:07,016
she never really participated.
She was quiet and shy.
113
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,933
Stephanie keeps herself to herself...
114
00:08:18,732 --> 00:08:24,072
While Tammy deals with the usual
chaos of the arredondo house.
115
00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:34,812
As Mark gets older,
he spends less time at home
116
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:38,275
and more of that energy in a new passion --
117
00:08:38,385 --> 00:08:40,015
roller hockey.
118
00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:45,186
Mark was definitely really good at hockey.
119
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:46,992
We'd always go to his games.
120
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:49,334
He was definitely
the biggest one on the rink.
121
00:08:51,465 --> 00:08:53,125
When he wound up a shot,
122
00:08:53,233 --> 00:08:54,773
they either turned their backs away...
123
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:58,900
...or, you know, took one.
124
00:08:59,006 --> 00:09:01,706
Mark is a natural athlete.
125
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:06,480
In fact, though his
main passion is hockey,
126
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:10,380
there doesn't seem to be a sport
that Mark doesn't take to.
127
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:18,323
As always, Tammy's on the sidelines,
128
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:20,125
keeping the younger brothers in check
129
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:25,627
and making sure everything
is captured on camera.
130
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:36,708
In the summer of 1993,
131
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:39,640
the extended family all drive
over to Disneyland.
132
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:49,788
That's Mark in the red
and Paul next to him in green.
133
00:09:49,856 --> 00:09:53,256
Mark, with his cool sunglasses.
134
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,690
He was always happy,
135
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:58,525
always anxious to go do the next thing.
136
00:10:15,215 --> 00:10:18,045
Mark and Paul are almost teenagers,
137
00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:20,851
but they've remained inseparable as always.
138
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:26,685
Hi, guys.
139
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:28,933
While everyone waves to the camera,
140
00:10:29,029 --> 00:10:31,899
Paul decides it's time for his close-up.
141
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:39,196
Mark and Paul were getting a little older.
142
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:41,366
They didn't really want
to fuss with the little ones
143
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:43,165
too much anymore.
144
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:45,906
That was kind of the beginning of them
145
00:10:46,013 --> 00:10:48,883
turning into their young teenager --
146
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:52,622
men, if you want to call it.
147
00:10:52,719 --> 00:10:54,949
The bonds of brotherhood are cementing
148
00:10:55,055 --> 00:10:57,755
right on camera.
149
00:10:57,858 --> 00:10:59,818
They look unbreakable.
150
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:13,140
It's Christmas 2001.
151
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,070
The arredondo boys are growing up fast.
152
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:19,340
Little Mikey, seen here
opening his presents,
153
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:20,806
isn't so little anymore.
154
00:11:24,051 --> 00:11:26,821
A lot of that stuff, Chrissy, is from --
155
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:35,592
It's from your brother.
That one's from Mark.
156
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:38,556
Christmas, growing up
in our house, was very exciting,
157
00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:41,695
you know, 'cause there was
presents for six of US.
158
00:11:48,642 --> 00:11:51,982
I would be up all night
trying to wrap presents,
159
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:54,009
get food prepared.
160
00:11:55,582 --> 00:12:00,592
Christmas was always craziness.
161
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:02,247
They were always busy and chaotic
162
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:04,215
cause there was so many kids.
163
00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:07,929
Even though the boys are getting older,
164
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:12,098
mom Tammy still feels the need
to keep a watchful eye.
165
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:36,415
Unh-unh.
166
00:12:46,299 --> 00:12:49,229
Jayson is now a confident teenager.
167
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,540
I was still at the age
where I was still kind of young.
168
00:12:57,644 --> 00:13:01,354
So I kind of was doing
my own high-school thing.
169
00:13:08,088 --> 00:13:11,258
Whoo! Whoo!
170
00:13:15,529 --> 00:13:18,759
No one has changed as much
as big brother Mark.
171
00:13:18,865 --> 00:13:20,865
Now a towering 6-foot-6,
172
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:24,437
he has adopted the name Corona
in memory of his birth father.
173
00:13:24,538 --> 00:13:28,408
That's around when he developed
a love for the music.
174
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:32,483
We'd have to say, turn that noise down,
175
00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:34,909
cause that was too wild
for us to listen to,
176
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:38,015
but he loved it.
177
00:13:38,118 --> 00:13:41,718
Cause he was older, Mark did his own thing.
178
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:45,562
I wasn't sure about
all the details of his days,
179
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:49,589
but I always trusted that Mark
was doing the right things.
180
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:56,573
In 2001, after graduation,
181
00:13:56,670 --> 00:14:00,640
work puts together his own band,
the final burden.
182
00:14:03,643 --> 00:14:09,553
Didn't play as much hockey after
the music thing came along.
183
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:12,249
While Mark dreams
of musical super-stardom,
184
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:16,422
best friend Paul Stoeppler
is on a very different path.
185
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:20,891
After graduating
from Santiago high school,
186
00:14:20,994 --> 00:14:24,634
Paul enlists in the u.S. Army.
187
00:14:24,731 --> 00:14:28,801
And it turns out military life suits him.
188
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:32,102
He was an overachiever, very smart.
189
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:35,665
He couldn't get enough success
under his belt.
190
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:38,035
Paul rises up the ranks quickly,
191
00:14:38,144 --> 00:14:43,484
and everybody is proud
when he gets his green beret.
192
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:45,053
He wanted to be at the top.
193
00:14:45,151 --> 00:14:48,491
And he had an extraordinary,
extraordinary career
194
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:50,048
with the military.
195
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:58,534
Meanwhile, Mark has very different ambitions.
196
00:15:01,534 --> 00:15:04,744
His sights are set
on metal super-stardom.
197
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,544
They started playing gigs,
and they loved to do those
198
00:15:11,645 --> 00:15:14,445
pit dances and the wild noise.
199
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:19,819
This is Mark's band's first-ever real gig.
200
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,590
And there, shredding it up, stage right,
201
00:15:22,689 --> 00:15:26,889
in a gray hoodie and red hat, is Mark.
202
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:28,993
The band's signature style?
203
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:30,295
Anger.
204
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:40,074
I thought they were just
a bunch of rude, rowdy guys
205
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:43,713
that liked to mosh pit with each other.
206
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:46,380
I do remember, one time, coming
home from football practice,
207
00:15:46,479 --> 00:15:49,079
and he had his whole band crew,
and they were jamming out
208
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,482
in the living room.
209
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:54,823
And big amps and whole drum sets and...
210
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:58,161
He definitely loved playing his music.
211
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:05,957
When Mark isn't in the mosh pit,
212
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:09,496
he has a job driving a forklift
at a local warehouse.
213
00:16:11,538 --> 00:16:13,598
It doesn't pay much, but it allows him
214
00:16:13,707 --> 00:16:17,507
to spend time with friends
and enjoy an easygoing life.
215
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,782
As Mark's brothers begin to get older,
216
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:27,394
they start to have families of their own.
217
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:30,357
And Mark is a very proud uncle.
218
00:16:44,037 --> 00:16:45,497
He went from big brother Mark
219
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:47,635
to big uncle Mark now.
220
00:16:47,741 --> 00:16:51,241
He has a handful of nieces and nephews.
221
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:55,914
He'd make sure he'd
go out of his way to see them.
222
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:03,192
But Mark doesn't seem ready to settle down.
223
00:17:03,289 --> 00:17:05,759
Mark wasn't really like his other brothers,
224
00:17:05,859 --> 00:17:07,529
out there looking for girls.
225
00:17:07,627 --> 00:17:10,087
He always said,
I'll get serious
226
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:14,366
when the day and
the right person comes along.
227
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:16,627
Then in 2003,
228
00:17:16,736 --> 00:17:19,466
Mark's cousin and best friend, Paul,
229
00:17:19,572 --> 00:17:22,842
is deployed to the war in Afghanistan.
230
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:34,422
At the time that Paul was being
deployed, Mark was rattled.
231
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:36,151
He worried.
232
00:17:38,992 --> 00:17:41,292
He used to think, what if
something bad happens to him
233
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,294
and he never comes home?
234
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,596
The whole family was concerned.
235
00:17:47,801 --> 00:17:50,371
But unbeknownst to Mark, he's about to see
236
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:53,200
his best friend
much sooner than he thinks.
237
00:17:55,608 --> 00:17:58,138
Paul rushes home when his mother, Renee,
238
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:00,284
loses her battle with cancer.
239
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:06,475
Paul didn't share a lot of feelings.
240
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:08,846
I know it was very hard on him.
241
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:11,855
He was never really able to have the time
242
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:14,058
to take care of his mom.
243
00:18:19,199 --> 00:18:20,829
He came home,
244
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,134
seemed very unemotional,
245
00:18:23,236 --> 00:18:26,196
and left shortly after that...
246
00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:30,978
Back into the military.
247
00:18:31,077 --> 00:18:33,637
He seemed to be strong and proud,
248
00:18:33,746 --> 00:18:37,746
and I think a lot of that
comes from his training.
249
00:18:37,851 --> 00:18:39,121
You know, you're looked down upon
250
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:43,019
if you're not strong inside, and...
251
00:18:43,123 --> 00:18:46,793
He was capable of shutting things out.
252
00:18:46,893 --> 00:18:49,663
Nine months later, Paul, back in Afghanistan,
253
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:51,862
receives word from home about his younger,
254
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:54,895
quieter sister, Stephanie.
255
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:58,501
Stephanie took her own life.
256
00:18:58,605 --> 00:19:03,905
I don't think she did very well
after her mother passed away.
257
00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:07,040
It was just devastating.
258
00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:11,247
Paul is grief-stricken
by the death of his sister.
259
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:16,721
Home has become the place
where his casualties mount.
260
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:20,633
Paul came home for Stephanie's funeral.
261
00:19:20,727 --> 00:19:22,787
But he doesn't stay long.
262
00:19:22,896 --> 00:19:24,726
Immediately after the funeral,
263
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:29,271
he returns to his
military family in Afghanistan.
264
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:32,999
I know he flew in from
the military and then flew out,
265
00:19:33,106 --> 00:19:39,076
so it's not like we had a chance
to hug it out or talk about it.
266
00:19:41,447 --> 00:19:45,547
Carefree Paul is seen
here with Mark in happier times.
267
00:19:50,223 --> 00:19:54,733
Now he needs his blood brother
more than ever.
268
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:58,697
Mark and Paul, they talked
a lot through social media
269
00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:01,398
and letters, and they they kept in touch,
270
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:05,771
as he was the only one that Paul
could maybe open up to at times.
271
00:20:09,342 --> 00:20:11,742
What the family can't know
272
00:20:11,844 --> 00:20:15,354
is that the biggest disaster
is yet to strike.
273
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,764
While on deployment in Afghanistan,
274
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:34,833
Paul Stoeppler's life has fallen apart.
275
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:38,704
His sister and his mother
have both died suddenly.
276
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:44,381
And things are about to get worse.
277
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:48,806
On September 23, 2013,
278
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,275
Paul is out on foot patrol
with his troops.
279
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,900
Six of Paul's patrol
are killed by the explosion.
280
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,640
We got a phone call telling us that
281
00:21:16,743 --> 00:21:22,153
the soldiers in front of him
had stepped on a I.E.D.
282
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:27,990
And Paul has received catastrophic injuries.
283
00:21:30,089 --> 00:21:34,159
Mark got very upset and was
so extremely worried about it,
284
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:37,800
he just could hardly think straight.
285
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:40,557
The blast has shattered
Paul's right arm and leg
286
00:21:40,667 --> 00:21:43,027
and left him with numerous shrapnel wounds
287
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:45,736
and head injuries.
288
00:21:45,838 --> 00:21:51,908
Knowing that that Paul may not
survive was just turmoil.
289
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:56,247
Mark was pretty devastated,
290
00:21:56,349 --> 00:21:59,949
angry that this could happen to Paul.
291
00:22:00,053 --> 00:22:02,693
As Paul hovers between life and death,
292
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:05,719
the family's wait is excruciating.
293
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,585
But finally, there's news.
294
00:22:08,695 --> 00:22:12,395
We learned that Paul was gonna,
you know, survive and be okay.
295
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:18,468
Paul starts the road to physical recovery,
296
00:22:18,571 --> 00:22:22,241
but emotionally, his wounds
may take longer to heal.
297
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:26,681
Hey, buddy.
298
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:29,280
Sorry I'm late.
299
00:22:29,382 --> 00:22:31,552
What's harder is that Paul will now
300
00:22:31,651 --> 00:22:33,881
have to retire from the military,
301
00:22:33,986 --> 00:22:37,986
giving up the only adult life
he's ever known.
302
00:22:38,091 --> 00:22:41,331
Paul didn't seem happy
about leaving the military,
303
00:22:41,427 --> 00:22:43,787
but he had no other alternative.
304
00:22:46,232 --> 00:22:48,572
Once he got home,
he tried to move forward,
305
00:22:48,668 --> 00:22:50,168
past all of that.
306
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:56,505
Paul tries his best
to put his life back together.
307
00:22:56,609 --> 00:22:59,639
By may of the following year, 2014,
308
00:22:59,746 --> 00:23:02,076
he has chose to participate in a retreat
309
00:23:02,181 --> 00:23:05,881
for injured veterans in Alaska.
310
00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:10,385
It's a group and a cause
he can really get behind.
311
00:23:10,523 --> 00:23:13,363
The program is designed to help
wounded vets like Paul
312
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:19,029
connect to others and realize
they aren't alone.
313
00:23:19,132 --> 00:23:20,632
And it works.
314
00:23:20,733 --> 00:23:23,973
Paul seems ready
to get himself back on track.
315
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:25,640
He applies to nursing school,
316
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:29,708
following in the footsteps
of his late mother.
317
00:23:29,809 --> 00:23:33,339
He was trying to find some direction,
318
00:23:33,446 --> 00:23:35,046
didn't have a lot of confidence.
319
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:37,008
I assured him, you're very smart.
320
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,716
You could do well with that.
321
00:23:41,988 --> 00:23:45,488
Tammy's support pays off.
322
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:48,761
And the same drive Paul had
in his military career
323
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:53,031
serves him well for making his grades.
324
00:23:53,132 --> 00:23:58,302
He seemed to be doing well.
He was getting as.
325
00:23:58,404 --> 00:24:02,314
Stayed busy. He had a full,
you know, workload.
326
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:04,308
But despite his success,
327
00:24:04,410 --> 00:24:07,340
the family notices a change in Paul.
328
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:10,777
Paul's attitude was definitely changing.
329
00:24:10,883 --> 00:24:13,153
I knew something wasn't right with Paul.
330
00:24:13,252 --> 00:24:15,722
He seemed paranoid, and then
he would snap out of it.
331
00:24:15,822 --> 00:24:17,022
He would seem fine again.
332
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:20,856
So it was kind of a roller coaster.
333
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,990
Mark is determined to help his friend
334
00:24:23,095 --> 00:24:24,325
keep his life on track
335
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:26,230
don't let me stop you.
336
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:31,074
No, no problem.
I could use a break.
337
00:24:31,170 --> 00:24:34,240
Mark was still very concerned
about making sure
338
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:39,710
that he checked in and talked
and dropped in for a visit.
339
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:44,112
He still felt a strong sense
of responsibility
340
00:24:44,217 --> 00:24:47,277
to make sure of Paul's well-being.
341
00:24:47,386 --> 00:24:48,546
Thank you.
342
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:49,954
Get out of this cave.
343
00:24:50,056 --> 00:24:52,416
I appreciate it.
344
00:24:52,525 --> 00:24:54,925
But dedicated as he is to helping Paul,
345
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:59,627
Mark now has other things on his mind.
346
00:24:59,732 --> 00:25:04,102
He had taken his brothers out,
and he shared with his brothers
347
00:25:04,203 --> 00:25:06,773
that, I think I met the girl.
348
00:25:06,873 --> 00:25:10,043
Mark and I first met at a brewery.
349
00:25:10,142 --> 00:25:12,342
Mark's friend introduced US,
350
00:25:12,445 --> 00:25:15,475
and I think I was even trying
to, like, pick out what beer.
351
00:25:15,581 --> 00:25:17,821
And I didn't know at the time,
but Mark is, like --
352
00:25:17,917 --> 00:25:20,547
that is his thing, is, like, craft beer.
353
00:25:20,653 --> 00:25:24,023
He knows all about it.
354
00:25:24,156 --> 00:25:25,816
He was cute. He was funny.
355
00:25:25,925 --> 00:25:33,225
He was friends with,
seemingly, the entire bar.
356
00:25:33,332 --> 00:25:35,202
Drinks are followed by dinner.
357
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:40,271
And it's not long before Mark
and Gina have both fallen hard.
358
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:41,573
We were together.
359
00:25:41,674 --> 00:25:44,484
We were together after
the first time we went out.
360
00:25:44,577 --> 00:25:46,707
We had an instant connection.
361
00:25:49,482 --> 00:25:51,982
Hey, buddy.
Glad you could make it.
362
00:25:52,084 --> 00:25:54,594
Gina knows how important
Paul is to her boyfriend
363
00:25:54,687 --> 00:25:56,587
and makes an effort with him.
364
00:25:56,689 --> 00:25:58,289
Can I get another beer for him?
365
00:25:58,391 --> 00:26:02,591
But Paul is distant
and tough to get to know.
366
00:26:02,695 --> 00:26:04,655
If I would directly talk to him
367
00:26:04,764 --> 00:26:06,904
and try and start a conversation,
368
00:26:06,999 --> 00:26:09,569
he would never even look me in the eye.
369
00:26:11,304 --> 00:26:12,844
Listen, we're gonna...
370
00:26:12,939 --> 00:26:16,109
Mark was kind of the only person
who could really get Paul
371
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:19,778
to interact with him
in any kind of meaningful way.
372
00:26:23,816 --> 00:26:27,516
I had asked him, like,
what's up with Paul?
373
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:31,760
Does he need help
or anything like that?
374
00:26:31,857 --> 00:26:34,827
Need to leave it alone, all right?
375
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:37,527
It always used to be about Paul and Mark.
376
00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:42,670
Now things are changing, and
cracks are starting to appear.
377
00:26:53,579 --> 00:26:56,149
Cousins Paul Stoeppler and Mark Corona
378
00:26:56,248 --> 00:26:58,618
have been inseparable since childhood.
379
00:26:58,718 --> 00:27:02,388
But Paul is drifting.
380
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:04,718
It's June 3, 2018.
381
00:27:07,259 --> 00:27:08,629
Wait!
382
00:27:08,728 --> 00:27:12,158
Tammy is getting her grandkids
ready to go to a soccer game.
383
00:27:12,264 --> 00:27:15,004
You kids better make your way downstairs,
384
00:27:15,101 --> 00:27:17,071
I'm gonna get the hose to you!
385
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:23,636
Paul arrives at the arredondo house,
386
00:27:23,743 --> 00:27:27,313
and immediately, Tammy knows
that something is up.
387
00:27:27,413 --> 00:27:29,313
When I seen Paul walking up the driveway,
388
00:27:29,415 --> 00:27:31,915
he seemed very angry, and he said,
389
00:27:32,018 --> 00:27:35,388
where's Mark?
I have beef with Mark.
390
00:27:37,723 --> 00:27:40,463
After hearing noises, Marcus comes downstairs
391
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:44,189
and tries to calm Paul down.
392
00:27:44,296 --> 00:27:46,556
Paul is angry, but he won't explain why.
393
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:47,966
Hey, is everything okay?
394
00:27:48,067 --> 00:27:49,067
We need to talk.
395
00:27:49,168 --> 00:27:53,298
He said, mom, stay upstairs.
396
00:27:53,406 --> 00:27:57,006
I'll go down and handle Paul.
397
00:27:57,109 --> 00:27:59,939
So I knew something wasn't right.
398
00:28:00,046 --> 00:28:01,346
We need to talk.
399
00:28:01,447 --> 00:28:04,247
Okay, cool. Let's go for a smoke out back.
400
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:06,580
Hey.
401
00:28:06,686 --> 00:28:10,416
It's okay.
Everything's fine.
402
00:28:10,523 --> 00:28:11,863
An hour later,
403
00:28:11,957 --> 00:28:15,487
as Tammy is driving the kids
to a soccer game,
404
00:28:15,594 --> 00:28:17,804
she receives a text from Mark.
405
00:28:20,466 --> 00:28:22,566
He sent me a text.
406
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:27,768
He said, don't worry, mom,
everything will be fine.
407
00:28:27,873 --> 00:28:29,173
I got Paul settled down.
408
00:28:29,275 --> 00:28:32,305
We're gonna go grab
a bite to eat at stadium.
409
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:38,624
At around 3:20 P.M.,
a family with a dash cam
410
00:28:38,718 --> 00:28:42,588
is in the parking lot of stadium pizza.
411
00:28:42,688 --> 00:28:46,788
It captures a terrible scene.
412
00:29:47,787 --> 00:29:50,387
The 911 lines light up.
413
00:29:52,825 --> 00:29:54,555
Not only did we receive one 911 call,
414
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,490
we received a second and a third.
415
00:29:58,831 --> 00:30:02,301
And all reported that a man had a gun.
416
00:30:02,401 --> 00:30:03,671
Based on that situation,
417
00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:06,739
he appeared to be
a possible active shooter.
418
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:09,209
Deputies immediately responded
to the location.
419
00:30:13,412 --> 00:30:17,212
Within minutes, the
shopping Plaza is on lockdown.
420
00:30:17,316 --> 00:30:19,016
When deputies responded,
421
00:30:19,118 --> 00:30:21,518
they didn't know what to respond
to based on the shooting.
422
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:23,450
They didn't know if they had
one suspect, two suspects,
423
00:30:23,556 --> 00:30:25,986
or many suspects.
424
00:30:26,091 --> 00:30:28,331
Officers spot a gray sedan,
425
00:30:28,427 --> 00:30:32,427
its front passenger-side window shattered.
426
00:30:32,531 --> 00:30:35,001
Inside the vehicle, it was clear
a shooting had occurred.
427
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,730
There was bullet holes on the door.
428
00:30:36,836 --> 00:30:38,336
There was a shattered window.
429
00:30:38,437 --> 00:30:40,937
And there laid the deceased body
of the victim.
430
00:30:43,209 --> 00:30:46,239
First responders
confirm that the man is dead,
431
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:48,575
shot multiple times.
432
00:30:50,783 --> 00:30:53,823
A second man has been taken
into police custody.
433
00:30:57,456 --> 00:30:59,256
Meanwhile, detectives have recovered
434
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:02,258
surveillance footage from the scene.
435
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:04,291
Seconds after the shooting,
436
00:31:04,396 --> 00:31:07,396
cctv reveals the shirtless suspect
437
00:31:07,499 --> 00:31:10,869
walking into the street
before calmly sitting down.
438
00:31:14,306 --> 00:31:16,936
Seconds later, he puts on a shirt,
439
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:20,642
returns the same spot,
and empties his pockets.
440
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:26,017
The man is Paul Stoeppler.
441
00:31:26,151 --> 00:31:29,791
Despite his incredibly violent
actions just seconds earlier,
442
00:31:29,889 --> 00:31:32,589
he appears completely composed.
443
00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:43,026
As police arrive on the scene,
444
00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:45,895
they place Paul Stoeppler under arrest.
445
00:31:58,350 --> 00:32:02,520
The video showed a deliberate,
446
00:32:02,621 --> 00:32:06,121
thoughtful attack towards a
person who was helpless,
447
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:07,685
seen in this vehicle.
448
00:32:07,793 --> 00:32:11,063
It appeared to be a execution,
449
00:32:11,163 --> 00:32:16,833
to where the victim had
no ability to defend himself,
450
00:32:16,936 --> 00:32:18,596
fight, argue.
451
00:32:18,704 --> 00:32:20,604
I don't even think he knew it was coming.
452
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:27,441
My phone rang.
453
00:32:31,317 --> 00:32:36,347
And I think it was Michael, my son,
454
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:43,725
that called and said,
mom, Paul shot Mark.
455
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:50,201
And he didn't survive.
I just lost it.
456
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:55,942
I don't really remember
a whole lot after that.
457
00:32:56,041 --> 00:33:02,651
My son was still sitting
in his car at the pizza place.
458
00:33:09,388 --> 00:33:12,218
I don't really know
what happened after that.
459
00:33:14,426 --> 00:33:16,126
My grandpa was there with me.
460
00:33:16,228 --> 00:33:18,728
I don't know.
461
00:33:18,831 --> 00:33:21,401
I think I just started screaming.
462
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,740
Really, I don't know.
463
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:26,900
As word of the tragedy spreads,
464
00:33:27,006 --> 00:33:30,066
stadium pizza fills
with hundreds of people.
465
00:33:30,175 --> 00:33:32,705
Mark's family and stunned friends
466
00:33:32,811 --> 00:33:36,451
have come out in droves
to pay their respects.
467
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:38,148
There were --
468
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:43,120
god, it seemed like hundreds
of people that were there.
469
00:33:43,222 --> 00:33:48,062
I don't really know how so many
people found out so quickly.
470
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,730
But that's just how many friends Mark had.
471
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,960
Everyone was...
472
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:56,766
Everyone was just destroyed.
473
00:33:56,869 --> 00:33:59,999
When you were boys, right?
474
00:34:00,105 --> 00:34:01,635
It was different.
475
00:34:04,943 --> 00:34:06,443
With Paul in custody,
476
00:34:06,545 --> 00:34:09,945
detectives need to know exactly
what could have caused him
477
00:34:10,049 --> 00:34:13,519
to coldly murder his own cousin.
478
00:34:26,799 --> 00:34:30,369
Once upon a time,
there were no two cousins closer
479
00:34:30,469 --> 00:34:33,239
than Mark Corona and Paul Stoeppler.
480
00:34:33,338 --> 00:34:36,108
Now, after brutally shooting
his friend and cousin
481
00:34:36,208 --> 00:34:38,378
at point-blank range,
482
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:43,380
Paul has a bombshell to drop
on investigators as to why.
483
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:48,092
He claims he was a victim
of sexual assault
484
00:34:48,187 --> 00:34:51,417
and that Mark was responsible.
485
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:04,970
We asked Paul, why did he shoot
his cousin Mark?
486
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:07,340
He explained that it's 'cause
Mark had raped him
487
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:09,069
eight months prior.
488
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:13,280
It's a shocking allegation,
489
00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:15,078
and there's more to follow.
490
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:34,760
As the investigation continued,
his story changed.
491
00:35:34,867 --> 00:35:36,127
It changed once.
492
00:35:36,235 --> 00:35:37,565
It changed twice.
493
00:35:37,669 --> 00:35:40,539
Then it finally changed that
his cousin Mark was involved
494
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,439
in the suicide of his sister.
495
00:35:43,542 --> 00:35:46,242
Paul's claims are astonishing.
496
00:35:46,345 --> 00:35:49,575
But when detectives press Paul
for specific details,
497
00:35:49,681 --> 00:35:52,381
they begin to question
whether he's telling the truth.
498
00:36:14,573 --> 00:36:16,143
During the interview,
499
00:36:16,241 --> 00:36:18,141
Paul changes statements,
saying that that happened
500
00:36:18,243 --> 00:36:21,913
about three months ago,
then changes statements again,
501
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:23,784
saying that it happened even sooner.
502
00:36:23,882 --> 00:36:27,622
He was trying to make up a story
as he was going.
503
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,103
Every time we questioned him,
he would change it.
504
00:36:47,206 --> 00:36:52,206
And he eventually admits that he's unsure
505
00:36:52,311 --> 00:36:53,911
if he was sexually assaulted.
506
00:36:54,012 --> 00:36:56,782
You just didn't want him
to suffer no more?
507
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:59,752
Finally, Paul admits that his account
508
00:36:59,851 --> 00:37:02,521
doesn't make sense.
509
00:37:02,621 --> 00:37:05,391
Paul's stories were changing.
510
00:37:05,490 --> 00:37:07,290
It was clear that he was lying.
511
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:10,632
The truth is,
there is no evidence of any rape
512
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:14,029
or that Mark had anything to do
with Stephanie's suicide
513
00:37:14,165 --> 00:37:17,395
Paul Stoeppler can't explain
why he shot his cousin.
514
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:36,016
A few days later,
515
00:37:36,121 --> 00:37:39,091
detectives charge Paul Stoeppler
with murder.
516
00:37:56,108 --> 00:37:59,838
Based on eyewitness accounts
and the video they've uncovered,
517
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,505
police reconstruct the events
518
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:04,713
that happened that day
outside stadium pizza.
519
00:38:07,386 --> 00:38:09,846
Mark Corona was parked
in front of the stadium pizza,
520
00:38:09,955 --> 00:38:11,855
waiting for Paul Stoeppler.
521
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:15,257
At about 3:23, Stoeppler showed up.
522
00:38:25,871 --> 00:38:29,311
He shot at him in his head
and in his torso.
523
00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:38,275
After shooting him, he sat on the pavement.
524
00:38:38,383 --> 00:38:42,123
Seconds, two minutes later, Paul gets up,
525
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:43,920
grabs the same handgun...
526
00:38:47,859 --> 00:38:50,659
And shoots additional times
at the victim.
527
00:38:52,564 --> 00:38:54,404
This was a targeted crime.
528
00:38:57,169 --> 00:38:59,969
After the shooting,
Paul goes behind his vehicle,
529
00:39:00,072 --> 00:39:02,412
sits on top of the asphalt,
530
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:05,537
disassembles his handgun,
and waits for the police.
531
00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:12,421
Paul had done what he came to do.
532
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:15,217
Now he was giving himself up.
533
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:34,695
On march 4th, 35-year-old
Paul Stoeppler pleads guilty
534
00:39:34,806 --> 00:39:38,266
to first-degree murder
with a firearm enhancement.
535
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:44,412
He is given a 50-year-to-life sentence.
536
00:39:45,384 --> 00:39:48,994
Tammy sees her son's killer for
the first time since the murder.
537
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:53,523
The courtroom was full of Mark's friends
538
00:39:53,625 --> 00:39:57,185
and people who were still in shock.
539
00:39:57,295 --> 00:40:03,695
To see Paul in that orange suit
was just so unreal.
540
00:40:06,304 --> 00:40:08,814
He never flinched or batted an eye.
541
00:40:12,244 --> 00:40:14,814
Maybe someday, he'll tell me
he's sorry.
542
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:16,413
I don't know.
543
00:40:20,285 --> 00:40:25,215
I loved Paul like he was my own son, but...
544
00:40:25,323 --> 00:40:30,163
I have to forgive him...
545
00:40:30,262 --> 00:40:33,532
So that I can move forward.
546
00:40:33,632 --> 00:40:35,372
For Mark's loved ones,
547
00:40:35,467 --> 00:40:39,167
dealing with his loss
is still a daily battle.
548
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:43,411
I would just spend days in bed,
day after day after day.
549
00:40:43,508 --> 00:40:49,608
I just couldn't -- I couldn't
see the point to anything.
550
00:40:49,714 --> 00:40:53,784
It was the love that he showed
to me that kept me,
551
00:40:53,885 --> 00:40:56,815
you know, waking up every day
and being like,
552
00:40:56,922 --> 00:41:00,992
okay, you gotta just --
you gotta just keep going.
553
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:06,855
I don't have a big brother no more.
554
00:41:06,965 --> 00:41:08,495
I miss Mark every day.
555
00:41:11,069 --> 00:41:14,439
The only thing I could do
is live how how he lived,
556
00:41:14,539 --> 00:41:18,069
you know, trying to set the example he set
557
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:23,206
and be there for my brothers
like he was for all of us.
558
00:41:27,118 --> 00:41:31,858
I've never, ever realized
while taking those videos,
559
00:41:31,957 --> 00:41:35,627
and you live your life
and you record fun things,
560
00:41:35,727 --> 00:41:41,097
and it really jars your memories
how good things really were.
561
00:41:43,568 --> 00:41:45,338
I'm gonna make sure I keep video
562
00:41:45,437 --> 00:41:49,607
because someday, that may be all you have.
563
00:41:55,714 --> 00:41:59,424
To this day, the
family remembers Mark every year
564
00:41:59,518 --> 00:42:03,388
at stadium pizza where he died.
565
00:42:03,488 --> 00:42:06,288
There's a special display unit
that holds his photo
566
00:42:06,391 --> 00:42:08,121
and favorite steelers Jersey.
567
00:42:11,496 --> 00:42:14,626
And every November 8, on Mark's birthday,
568
00:42:14,733 --> 00:42:17,973
his friends and family gather
to raise a toast in his honor
569
00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:21,539
with a special beer brewed in his memory.
570
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Miss you every day, brother.
571
00:42:23,942 --> 00:42:26,712
Every day,
I miss you, dude.
572
00:42:26,811 --> 00:42:29,451
Everyone put their cups up!
Cheers!
