I've seen a lot of really bad things, but you never think anything's going to happen to you. Not that you're above it. It always happens to somebody else. Nothing could have prepared me for what actually happened. The deputy showed up at my door. Ollie said was, you need to call your dad. My dad started crying, and he told me that there had been a fire at my mom's house. The only people living in the house was my mom, Vicki, her boyfriend, John, and my little sister, Becky. We're still waiting for positive identification on three bodies founded of burned out home and pinion pines. We knew right away that everyone was dead. Maybe my mom fell asleep with a cigarette or a gas leak. But what happened was much, much worse. I learned that Becky was found in a wheelbarrow. Apparently she had been placed in this and set on fire. My baby sister was caught. This was the fir of the house, and the wheelbarrow was found here. We know that it was about to this spot because there were tracks rolled out that way. Why break her body towards the fir of the house? We think it was to pose her, and they wanted to leave some kind of symbol, make it as personal as possible. That's hate. She was obviously the target, and when I heard the wheelbarrow situation, that's when I knew it was him waiting for my precious boyfriend. Hi, Robert. Hi, guys. Because he had threatened to kill her. A lot of the evidence pointed toward Robert Pape and Christian Smith. Robert Pape was Becky's ex-boyfriend. Christian Smith was Robert Pape's best friend. Seven years. Seven years went by before anything happened. Yesterday, police arrested 25-year-olds Kristin Smith, and Becky freed Lee's ex-boyfriend, Robert Pape. We know Robert, and anyone who knows him knows how ridiculous the accusations are. My son Christian saves lives. He's saved lives in Afghanistan. He doesn't take lives. There's no way. It's all very obvious that there's no way. Robert Pape and Kristin Smith are accused of three counts of murder. If you just look at all the evidence, it just doesn't fit. It doesn't work. This is not the case that should be brought against these two men. There is not a doubt in my mind that they have the right people. I know that they do.
