00:34:26Okay, thanks.
00:34:28We're doing good.
00:34:29I know.
00:34:29I know. It's amazing. Good turnout.
00:34:31Cheryl, did you know that Stacy's selling your mother's collectibles?
00:34:34What? No, that can't be right. Ricky's putting her stuff in storage.
00:34:37I just came from a yard sale at your sister's house, and she said your mom didn't want them anymore.
00:34:44How would she know that?
00:34:49Stacy and Ricky have been doing a lot of work at your mom's house, fixing it up, kind of acting like they own it.
00:34:56Ricky is just keeping her thing safe until she comes back.
00:35:01The neighbors have been reported to see Ricky dumping a lot of trash bags full of your mother's things.
00:35:09He and Stacy seem awfully sure that your mom's not coming back.
00:35:13Hey, Cheryl.
00:35:28What did you do to her?
00:35:30What?
00:35:31I know you know what happened to Mom, and you better just tell me.
00:35:36I don't know what you're talking about.
00:35:37I don't know.
00:35:43Excuse me.
00:35:53Hey there. Christopher, right?
00:35:56Uh-huh. Are you the detective looking for my grandma?
00:35:59Yeah, sure am.
00:36:03It's okay. You can talk to me.
00:36:06My uncle, Ricky.
00:36:07Well, you guys are close.
00:36:10Yeah.
00:36:11He's great.
00:36:12But sometimes he kind of gets upset and rants about things.
00:36:20Like what?
00:36:22I don't want to get him or Anastasi in trouble.
00:36:25Okay.
00:36:26If your uncle told you something that affects this case, you have to tell me.
00:36:31It's too important.
00:36:33Okay?
00:36:33Okay?
00:36:42I just said to wait here.
00:36:48I don't understand.
00:36:49If they had news, why couldn't they just call us?
00:36:53Maybe they found Mom.
00:36:54I have no idea.
00:36:56Stacy Canana?
00:36:58Yes.
00:36:59I'm Detective Miles Avery.
00:37:00Come with me, please.
00:37:02I'm sorry.
00:37:02I thought my brother and I were here to meet Detective Hoskins.
00:37:06Miss Canana, just come with me.
00:37:07Detective Corey Hoskins.
00:37:37We met the night your mom disappeared.
00:37:39I remember.
00:37:40Your mother is Marilyn Canana, born March 19th, 1938.
00:37:45Is that correct?
00:37:45Yes.
00:37:47You share the same birthday?
00:37:49No.
00:37:50And why did you tell a manager at SunWest Bank that that was your birthday and that you
00:37:55were, in fact, Marilyn Canana?
00:37:56I only did that so that I could keep her bills paid until she comes home.
00:38:03Were you aware that your mom was sitting on a fortune and a trust from her father?
00:38:08Well, my grandpa passed away a year ago.
00:38:12I know that he was well off, but we never discussed money.
00:38:15So you didn't use some of that money to buy a new truck with cash?
00:38:19No.
00:38:19Ricky gave me a loan for a down payment.
00:38:21I still owe plenty.
00:38:26Did you sell your mother's belongings at a yard sale because you knew she wasn't coming back?
00:38:32No.
00:38:33Of course she's coming back.
00:38:35We just spoke with your brother.
00:38:37Ricky's been telling us some very interesting things.
00:38:39Okay, well, is there a reason why you're harassing me and not out there looking for my mom?
00:38:44Well, 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.
00:38:51My mother...
00:38:52My mother is all I think about.
00:38:55You and Ricky are thieves.
00:38:57Your names are on bank accounts.
00:38:59You're used to funnel money out of your mother's trust.
00:39:01Your signature is on checks from that account.
00:39:04I know.
00:39:05Are you talking about the account for the landscaping business?
00:39:08I don't understand.
00:39:10Bingo.
00:39:11Looks like business is booming.
00:39:13This doesn't make sense.
00:39:15There's only supposed to be $400 in that account.
00:39:17And yeah, there are deposits totaling over $108,000.
00:39:21Where's your mother, Stacy?
00:39:26I don't know.
00:39:28Did she cash you stealing money from her?
00:39:30Confront you and Ricky?
00:39:31Maybe things got out of hand?
00:39:32No!
00:39:34Stop lying.
00:39:35If someone accused me of a crime I didn't commit, I'd be furious.
00:39:39I'd be pounding this table.
00:39:41Well, you weren't raised in a house where that would get you killed, so...
00:39:46Stacy, your brother's going down.
00:39:49Now, do you want to be a defendant or witness for the prosecution?
00:39:57Witness?
00:39:59Witness.
00:39:59Oh, my God.
00:40:17Unbelievable.
00:40:19Unbelievable.
00:40:22What are you doing?
00:40:23You're my right, Stacy.
00:40:44Ricky?
00:40:45Ricky?
00:40:48Did you steal from Mom?
00:40:49Why would I do that?
00:40:52I make plenty.
00:40:55The police, they show me paperwork from our business bank account.
00:41:00There's a lot of money in there.
00:41:03That's what the cops do.
00:41:05Try to get us to turn on each other.
00:41:07There is no us, okay?
00:41:10Not that way.
00:41:11Mom was going to give Grandpa's money away.
00:41:19None for us.
00:41:21It's Mom's money.
00:41:24That's her call.
00:41:26Ricky, I don't know what you told the police, but you've got to tell them the truth.
00:41:31I had no part in any of this.
00:41:37It's too late for that.
00:41:38What are they tearing up in Mom's garage?
00:41:52What's under the steel plate?
00:41:55Don't you know?
00:41:57What have you done?
00:41:59It's where I buried Dad.
00:42:02Buried Dad?
00:42:03When?
00:42:04Long time ago.
00:42:05It doesn't matter.
00:42:06It's done.
00:42:07Why have I been so scared that he was after me?
00:42:12Does Mom know?
00:42:14I buried him in her garage.
00:42:18What do you think?
00:42:25I spoke to the agency in New York, and they're interested.
00:42:29Maybe we should give them something a little sexy.
00:42:33We can have our headshots taken and maybe even win 500 bucks.
00:42:3713 unsolved homicides.
00:42:41Yeah, I cut ties with the people that are holding you back.
00:42:44This could be life-changing for you.
00:42:46What do we have to lose?
00:42:47The Girl Who Survived, the Alina Thompson story.
00:42:51Watch now.
00:42:53Only on Lifetime.
00:43:03Get out of the truck.
00:43:04No.
00:43:04If they find Dad, when they find Dad, they're going to arrest you.
00:43:10You should probably call them away.
00:43:11Where do you think you're going?
00:43:12Inside!
00:43:13To Susan!
00:43:15Okay, well, just so you know, the forensic team is coming here next.
00:43:18Why would they be coming here?
00:43:20Because I killed Mom and buried her in your rock garden.
00:43:22No.
00:43:26How could you?
00:43:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:43:30It's okay.
00:43:31It's okay.
00:43:31Just go!
00:43:33If I go, you're going down with me.
00:43:36Her body is buried in your backyard.
00:43:38You took money from her account.
00:43:39No, I didn't!
00:43:40Paper trail says otherwise.
00:43:42I'm going to tell them the truth, whether you do or not.
00:43:47It is.
00:43:48We're going to prison for a long time.
00:43:51Susan, too.
00:43:52You leave her alone.
00:43:53She took some of the money.
00:43:54Who's going to believe we buried a body in her backyard and she didn't know?
00:43:57Come on.
00:43:59I never want to see you again.
00:44:02I'm your brother.
00:44:03Well, you're worse than him.
00:44:06At least he didn't hide who he was.
00:44:09Maybe it was inevitable.
00:44:12Oh, God.
00:44:16Susan is the best thing in my life.
00:44:19This can't happen.
00:44:21There's one other way.
00:44:23Yeah, you tell the police the truth.
00:44:25We kill ourselves and everything ends.
00:44:31Drive.
00:44:32I said drive.
00:44:42Keep her running.
00:44:57Mom's never coming back.
00:45:16You can't change that.
00:45:18But you can still save Susan.
00:45:21Write a note.
00:45:22Explain that she had nothing to do with this.
00:45:23Otherwise, I'll drag you both down with me.
00:45:46Take this.
00:45:47You'll need it.
00:45:47Ricky, I...
00:45:54Why, Mom?
00:45:57I mean, I understand killing Dad.
00:46:00He was a monster.
00:46:00But she did nothing but care for us.
00:46:08Mom got him in my room when I was six years old.
00:46:12She stayed in hell.
00:46:15So we did, too.
00:46:17Mom made us who we are just as much as he did.
00:46:20No, she did.
00:46:21No, she didn't.
00:46:22She suffered just as long as us.
00:46:25Well, then I put her out of her misery.
00:46:28Do it.
00:46:38You should write that note.
00:46:39No.
00:46:39No.
00:46:39No.
00:46:39No.
00:46:40No.
00:46:40No.
00:46:41No.
00:46:42No.
00:46:42No.
00:46:43No.
00:46:43No.
00:46:44No.
00:46:44No.
00:46:45No.
00:46:45No.
00:46:46No.
00:46:46No.
00:46:47No.
00:46:47No.
00:46:48No.
00:46:48No.
00:46:49No.
00:46:49No.
00:46:50No.
00:46:51No.
00:46:52No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:17No.
00:47:19No.
00:47:19No.
00:47:20Amy has always been in me.
00:47:24Like a cancer you're born with.
00:47:28Maybe Dad did finally kill Mom.
00:47:32Then, Ricky...
00:47:37You should...
00:47:39You should write a letter.
00:47:43I will.
00:47:46I'll tell him that God's honest truth.
00:47:50That was all your idea.
00:47:56That was all your idea.
00:48:20Stay safe.
00:48:34Stay safe.
00:48:36Stay safe.
00:48:38Stay safe.
00:49:08Stay safe.
00:49:18Well, look who's awake.
00:49:19Hey, Stacey.
00:49:21How you feeling?
00:49:25Water.
00:49:30Here you go.
00:49:34We questioned Ricky.
00:49:37We're here because we wanted you to have your say.
00:49:40We found their bodies, Stacey.
00:49:43Your dad under your mom's garage floor, and your mom in your backyard.
00:49:52I hoped he was lying.
00:49:55Stacey helped me kill mom every step of the way.
00:49:59Blow for blow.
00:50:00What about your father?
00:50:04Stacey killed him 15 years ago.
00:50:06I ran mom.
00:50:08They called me and I helped bury him.
00:50:10That's all.
00:50:11I didn't kill my father.
00:50:14I've been terrified for months that he was stalking me.
00:50:17I thought he took her.
00:50:19Sounds like you wanted us to chase a ghost while you and Ricky drained her bank account.
00:50:22No.
00:50:22I, Ricky must have been trying to scare me to take my mind off.
00:50:27What, the guilt?
00:50:29No, I was worried for her.
00:50:32She was real worried mom was going to give away her inheritance.
00:50:35So, whose idea was it to kill Marilyn?
00:50:39Yeah, I thought she'd actually do it.
00:50:42He what?
00:50:44Can't you tell he's a pathological liar?
00:50:47Actually, he seemed real concerned about you.
00:50:50Give him a scare there back at the storage unit.
00:50:53I wasn't thinking straight.
00:50:55Yeah, see, that's what I don't get.
00:50:57If you didn't do any of this, why kill yourself?
00:50:59When Ricky told me that he had killed mom,
00:51:07I thought my life was over.
00:51:11And then he was going to drag Susan into it,
00:51:14send us all to prison.
00:51:16Suicide seemed like the best option that would give Susan the best chance.
00:51:21What innocent person is going to kill themselves?
00:51:24Did you guys ever wonder why he walked away and I almost died?
00:51:30He made me write a note.
00:51:33He made sure I was drugged.
00:51:35If he lives and I die,
00:51:37he puts all the blame on me.
00:51:39Why can't you see that?
00:51:41All I see is a woman who killed her mother for money
00:51:43and then faked your suicide.
00:51:46You can arrest me?
00:51:49No.
00:51:51No, we're not.
00:51:55You don't have any evidence.
00:51:59Ricky got us most of the way.
00:52:01We'll do the rest.
00:52:04Are we done?
00:52:05For now.
00:52:07Let's go.
00:52:11Your life won't be the same after this.
00:52:15Remember that.
00:52:15How do you know what a man and a woman do together?
00:52:26My father taught me.
00:52:30I need to keep her under control at all costs.
00:52:34I don't question his decisions.
00:52:38I know exactly who he is and I'm going to tell everyone.
00:52:41I am God's messenger.
00:52:42I have a message for my father.
00:52:46Tell him I'm done.
00:52:47Surviving my father.
00:52:48The Rachel Jeff story.
00:52:50Watch now.
00:52:52Only on Lifetime.
00:52:53Everybody thinks I did it.
00:53:00Doesn't matter what everybody thinks.
00:53:08Is it true you buried your mother in your own backyard?
00:53:10She's not answering any questions.
00:53:12Did you kill Marilyn because you were concerned
00:53:15that she was going to tell someone you murdered your father?
00:53:16How do you feel about your own nephew turning on you?
00:53:21No more questions.
00:53:27He's just trying to get you riled up.
00:53:29It's going to be okay.
00:53:31You don't know what I've been through in the last three days.
00:53:36Hey.
00:53:37I know you.
00:53:40Life is never going to be the same after this.
00:53:42That's what Hoskins told me.
00:53:44They may not be able to charge me, but I'm still a suspect.
00:53:46And you're their star witness.
00:53:49And they can't have it both ways.
00:53:51They're going to try.
00:53:52Okay.
00:53:53Okay.
00:53:53Okay.
00:53:53Okay.
00:54:25I'm so sorry.
00:54:46Police said we could fill this up.
00:54:51How did she die?
00:54:52Do you know?
00:54:58She was asphyxiated.
00:55:00I can't believe I let him use my fear of dad to play me.
00:55:12Yeah, he fooled me too.
00:55:15I thought Ricky was a good guy.
00:55:20He called me paranoid when it was him standing right here.
00:55:25He probably buried her using tools I helped him buy.
00:55:28Yeah, he set you up.
00:55:30But you told the truth.
00:55:31I'm going to tell the truth.
00:55:33You had nothing to do with this.
00:55:35I want him out of our house.
00:55:39Every trace.
00:55:39I want him out of my house.
00:55:53Susan!
00:55:59What?
00:56:02He was writing a book about dad.
00:56:03Mommy, wake up.
00:56:10Mommy?
00:56:12Get away from her.
00:56:15Mommy, I'll be fine.
00:56:20Get the orange juice pitcher out of the fridge.
00:56:23Drop it there beside her.
00:56:24And call the ambulance and tell Mommy had an accident.
00:56:27Shouldn't you call them?
00:56:29How could I do that if I wasn't here when it happened?
00:56:39I'm sorry.
00:56:43The number's by the phone.
00:56:46You're not an idiot.
00:56:49You're a smart boy.
00:56:51I am smart.
00:56:54That's right, you are.
00:56:55Just like you, old man.
00:57:01And it worked.
00:57:03Dad came home after the ambulance arrived.
00:57:06Ricky was in tears, explaining the accident to the paramedics.
00:57:09But he wasn't sad.
00:57:11It made him feel strong.
00:57:14It made him feel smart.
00:57:18So he admired your dad.
00:57:20I thought when dad made him do terrible things,
00:57:23it was because he threatened him.
00:57:26He liked it.
00:57:43What are you doing here?
00:57:44You're not answering my calls.
00:57:46I'm calling you, please.
00:57:47Wait, Cheryl.
00:57:48Five minutes, please.
00:57:49You gotta know, I didn't have anything to do with our parents' death.
00:58:00How could I kill Mom?
00:58:02You stole from her.
00:58:04Ricky brought over some things for me to sign for the new business.
00:58:07Maybe he slipped something in.
00:58:08So he did this all on his own?
00:58:10Yes.
00:58:12Why won't you believe me?
00:58:13You don't think that hurt me?
00:58:20You don't remember taking me to the clinic?
00:58:22No.
00:58:23When I was 14.
00:58:25And my periods were all messed up.
00:58:27I was bleeding so bad.
00:58:29What?
00:58:30I thought I was gonna die.
00:58:35You were there.
00:58:38The doctor said that the reason why my periods were so painful is because my uterus was so damaged.
00:58:44I was worried about that.
00:58:49Adley, stop.
00:58:50Stop.
00:58:51He said that the damage was...
00:58:52Stop.
00:58:54That's why I can't have kids.
00:59:00Dad had us all so brainwashed.
00:59:03We couldn't even accept help.
00:59:05We barely trusted each other.
00:59:07I'm telling you, Cheryl, Ricky is trying to play us against each other.
00:59:11Just like Dad did.
00:59:17Now I have my own family to think about.
00:59:21I know.
00:59:22I know.
00:59:25So will you please just go?
00:59:41Good morning.
00:59:57Good morning.
00:59:59Are you still having trouble sleeping?
01:00:02Yeah.
01:00:03Yeah.
01:00:04Yeah.
01:00:04What's that?
01:00:14That arrived from the prosecutor's office this morning.
01:00:20We're both being subpoenaed in Ricky's case.
01:00:23They're charging him with first degree murder.
01:00:27Good.
01:00:27That means the death penalty.
01:00:30Again, good.
01:00:30Good.
01:00:30Good.
01:00:30Good.
01:00:34Stace.
01:00:44I'm sorry, but he killed your mother.
01:00:47The press won't leave you alone, and no one will hire you.
01:00:50Is that supposed to be a pep talk?
01:00:55It's reality.
01:00:59He's done everything he can to ruin our lives.
01:01:02I know.
01:01:05So how can you still care what happens to him?
01:01:07Because he saved my life so many times growing up.
01:01:12He was my hero.
01:01:13How can I send him to the electric chair?
01:01:15You can and you will, because I don't want to see you in that chair.
01:01:23Why didn't I just slam the door on him that day?
01:01:25Because you're not your father.
01:01:31You don't take pleasure in pushing people away, and I love that you're that person.
01:01:37After everything your dad's done, everything Ricky's doing, you still have this big open heart.
01:01:42You know, the DA told me that if Ricky takes a plea, all of this goes away, and we won't have to testify.
01:01:53Okay.
01:01:54So let's hope he does the smart thing.
01:01:58Huh.
01:01:59Remember, it's Ricky we're talking about.
01:02:01Your Honor, we would like to withdraw the not guilty plea on both counts,
01:02:23and plead no contest to manslaughter and the death of Richard Kananen Sr.,
01:02:27and no contest to second-degree murder and the death of Marilyn Kananen.
01:02:31Mr. Kananen, is this correct?
01:02:35Yeah.
01:02:36Yes.
01:02:38May we approach?
01:02:40Something is not right.
01:02:41Mr. Kananen, on the first charge of manslaughter, you're sentenced to 15 years.
01:03:01On the second charge, a second-degree murder, you're sentenced to 30 years.
01:03:05Sentences to run concurrently.
01:03:08Your Honor, it's our understanding that Mr. Kananen has agreed to speak with law enforcement.
01:03:13By all means.
01:03:14Yes, I'm still holding for DA Robin Wilkinson.
01:03:38I've left several messages.
01:03:40Okay, well, can you just tell her to call back Stacey Kananen?
01:03:45She has my number.
01:03:50The prosecutor is avoiding me.
01:03:53Maybe she's just swamped.
01:03:55I mean, why are you so worried?
01:03:57You were there, he took the plea.
01:03:59Yeah, but it's not the same plea that the DA and I talked about.
01:04:01I don't think I'm a witness anymore.
01:04:19Okay, don't answer it.
01:04:21We're not home.
01:04:23And, and...
01:04:25It's okay.
01:04:25Okay.
01:04:25Hi, Stacey.
01:04:34Are you here to arrest me?
01:04:35Damn straight, I am.
01:04:37Let's just do this.
01:04:38Yeah, detective.
01:04:39I'd like to surrender to you.
01:04:41May I?
01:04:42What the hell are you doing?
01:04:44Yes, ma'am, you may.
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:48Stacey Kananen, you're under arrest for the murders of Richard Kananen Sr. and Marilyn Kananen.
01:04:55You have the right to remain silent.
01:04:57Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
01:05:00It's going to be okay, Susan.
01:05:01It's going to be okay.
01:05:04Ooh.
01:05:08Look at you, huh?
01:05:09You're a big man.
01:05:12Stacey has cooperated with you since day one.
01:05:15And you come here with your guns drawn?
01:05:17What did you think she was going to do?
01:05:20Come out shooting?
01:05:20Ma'am, you need to step back.
01:05:22Stop, Susan.
01:05:22Go inside.
01:05:24Go inside.
01:05:27Why?
01:05:39You're under arrest for the murders of Richard Kananen Sr. and Marilyn Kananen?
01:05:44Didn't kill my father.
01:05:46We found their bodies.
01:05:47My mother is all I think about.
01:05:50All I see is a woman who killed her mother for money and then faked her suicide.
01:05:53Well, I see.
01:05:55I see.
01:05:55Your Honor, Miss Kananen is an upstanding citizen with no criminal record.
01:06:24In fact, she's been a cooperating witness for the prosecution for the last four years.
01:06:29Your Honor, the charges against Miss Kananen are serious.
01:06:32We ask that you deny bail.
01:06:33Yet we've seen no new evidence to support these serious charges.
01:06:37There is new testimony from her brother, Richard Kananen Jr.
01:06:40Oh.
01:06:41Miss Kananen, are you okay?
01:06:46I'd really like to be released on bail, Your Honor.
01:06:49Did that happen to you in jail?
01:06:51Well, the press have already tried me on TV, and the women in jail think I killed my mother.
01:06:57It doesn't go over very well.
01:07:00I will grant bond in the amount of $100,000.
01:07:03Your Honor, in the death of Richard Kananen Sr., we are willing to drop charges.
01:07:12Because they have absolutely no evidence.
01:07:14But in the death of Marilyn Kananen, we are changing charges to first-degree murder.
01:07:20They're going for the death penalty.
01:07:21The court is now in session.
01:07:30The Honorable Judge Lubit presiding.
01:07:33Please be seated.
01:07:34Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on September 10th, 2003, Marilyn Kananen, a grandmother of three,
01:07:51left her place of work at the Delta Academy and drove home.
01:07:54Her E-pass pinging through Atoll Plaza at 5.53 p.m.
01:07:58This is the last time that she was seen alive.
01:08:04Over the next few days, I will demonstrate to you how Stacey and her brother Richard collaborated
01:08:09to steal from their mother and kill her.
01:08:13They used a stun gun on her.
01:08:15They suffocated her.
01:08:18They stuffed her body in a freezer.
01:08:19And they buried her in Stacey's own backyard.
01:08:24When all is said and done, I am quite confident that you will find Stacey Kananen guilty of first-degree murder.
01:08:39Good morning, everybody.
01:08:41My name is Diana Tennis, and this is my client, Stacey Kananen.
01:09:15The only thing that did change between 2003 and 2007 was that Richard Kananen, who was facing the death penalty,
01:09:24decided to weave his fifth version of what happened.
01:09:29With each story heaping more of the blame, more of the motive, and more of the guilt onto my client.
01:09:35With each story getting moved to a better facility, receiving better mental health care, and even having his sentence reduced.
01:09:41I am confident that you will not find Richard Kananen a credible witness.
01:09:49And if he isn't, there is not near enough evidence to convict my client of murder.
01:09:55Thank you for your time.
01:09:57I appreciate it.
01:09:58Miss Wilkinson, you may call your first witness.
01:10:05Thank you, Your Honor.
01:10:08The state calls Richard Kananen, Jr.
01:10:12I don't want to have anything to do with you.
01:10:15I'm your brother.
01:10:18You're just like him.
01:10:19I swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth.
01:10:24So help me God.
01:10:25I'll throw you down with me.
01:10:26We're going to prison for a long time.
01:10:35Mr. Kananen, did you kill your mother?
01:10:39Yes.
01:10:40Was anyone else with you?
01:10:43Yes.
01:10:44My sister.
01:10:46Whose idea was it to kill your mother?
01:10:48It was Stacy's.
01:10:50At any point, did you try to discourage her?
01:10:53Sure.
01:10:54But once I realized her mind was set,
01:10:57I felt like I had to go along with it to try to protect her.
01:11:03I guess that makes me a sap.
01:11:12Stacy and I took Mom for dinner and a movie.
01:11:18When we got home, Stacy tasered her.
01:11:23Then I put a bandana over her face until she was suffocated.
01:11:30Then we put her in the freezer until we could bury her in Stacy's yard.
01:11:36No further questions, Your Honor.
01:11:43For 45 minutes, she walked Ricky through all five of his different stories,
01:11:47including his claim that he traveled the country to save abused kids
01:11:51and murdering people in the mob.
01:11:53I hate that I can't be there.
01:11:55I know, but I'm just glad that you're going to be able to testify
01:11:59to tell them that I'm a, you know, a good person.
01:12:05Do you think the jury will believe him?
01:12:10They can't.
01:12:10I'm confident that Stacy wrote the suicide note to Susan.
01:12:20What about the signature on the check?
01:12:22You confident that that's Stacy can add in as well?
01:12:24I believe it's probable, but I cannot defensively say that it is.
01:12:31In fact, based on dozens of documents signed by Stacy,
01:12:35each one includes her middle initial, M, for Marie.
01:12:37Isn't that right?
01:12:39Yes.
01:12:39From the large sampling that I've examined,
01:12:41her signature always includes that initial.
01:12:44Was that initial on the check?
01:12:46No, it was not.
01:12:48No more questions, Your Honor.
01:12:50I received a phone call from a woman who said she was Marilyn Cananen.
01:12:55She provided the account number, but there was a security flag on it.
01:12:59A missing persons report.
01:13:01So I told her to call Detective Hoskins.
01:13:04And what happened next?
01:13:06Stacy Cananen called and left a message for me.
01:13:09So even though you want us to believe that she was stealing from her mother,
01:13:13Stacy did exactly what she was supposed to do
01:13:16when she learned the accounts were frozen?
01:13:19Yes.
01:13:22Hmm.
01:13:24Now, when you walked Richard through the night of Marilyn's murder,
01:13:28he said that he and Stacy took her to see a 6 p.m. showing of Charlie's Angels.
01:13:34Charlie's Angels 2.
01:13:36Right.
01:13:39Details are important.
01:13:40Wouldn't you agree?
01:13:41But in your earlier testimony,
01:13:45you said that the e-pass on Marilyn's car pinged at a toll booth by her house at 5.53 p.m.
01:13:53That's right.
01:13:55And yet you're saying that she was sitting with Richard and Stacy,
01:14:01Charlie's Angels 2,
01:14:02all the way across town just a few minutes later?
01:14:06That's what Richard told me.
01:14:07Did you call the theater to see if there was a later screening of the movie?
01:14:18No, I did not.
01:14:21Did you check any of the details of the story that Richard told you in which he incriminated my client?
01:14:28No.
01:14:29Detective Hoskins.
01:14:31It sounds like you saw Stacy's forged name on a check and decided she was guilty.
01:14:41No more questions, Your Honor.
01:14:44The victim was wrapped in two heavy-duty trash bags with duct tape around her hands and feet.
01:14:50She was dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and a denim jacket.
01:14:55I gave her that jacket.
01:14:56And for what purpose was it packaged like this?
01:15:00To contain the smell.
01:15:11You have to eat.
01:15:15The DA keeps throwing her jacket in the jury's faces, talking about maggots and bodily fluids.
01:15:23Shock and awe.
01:15:24That's the game.
01:15:26They don't have much real evidence, so they have to gross the jury out.
01:15:30Make you seem inhuman.
01:15:32That's why your testimony is so important.
01:15:34I don't know if I can do it.
01:15:43Just the entire country is watching.
01:15:48How am I going to talk about what my dad did?
01:15:52I've never talked about it.
01:15:55That's why you have to do it.
01:15:57The jury needs to understand why you are so passive.
01:16:00They need to hear about your father's abuse.
01:16:03You've been trained your whole life not to speak out.
01:16:09Ricky counted on that.
01:16:11That's why it's so hard.
01:16:14Your voice may be soft, but it's powerful.
01:16:19Since the start, you said if we lose because you told the truth, that's okay.
01:16:24But if you lose because you didn't get on the stand, we have no appeal.
01:16:29And you're screwed.
01:16:29You're screwed.
01:16:33This is Channel 6 reporting live outside the Orange County Courthouse.
01:16:39After weeks of trial proceedings, the final witness for the defense will be Stacey Kanan and herself,
01:16:45who is scheduled to testify today.
01:16:47No.
01:17:14I don't know.
01:17:15I don't know.
01:17:45I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
01:18:15Growing up, what was your relationship like with your siblings?
01:18:30We never learned how to be close because of my father's abuse.
01:18:35We were kept apart by fear and intimidation.
01:18:40Were you abused as a child?
01:18:44Yes.
01:18:45Can you tell the audience about an instance and how you dealt with it?
01:18:54The one that I remember the most was when we lived in Arkansas.
01:19:01My parents fought and my dad decided that he was going to leave and take Cheryl and I with him.
01:19:07He put us in the car and he drove to a tavern where he got good and polluted and then went back home.
01:19:18It was 2 a.m. when we got to the house.
01:19:21My sister and I went to go to our bedroom and he grabbed my arm.
01:19:29He told my mother that I was going to share his bed instead of her.
01:19:36Did your mother try to protect you?
01:19:40No.
01:19:42But I don't blame her.
01:19:47Put me in their room.
01:19:50Locked the door.
01:19:54And then pulled out a handgun.
01:19:56Did you fight back?
01:19:57No.
01:20:04The only way to keep him from pulling the trigger is to lie there.
01:20:10And be quiet.
01:20:12Then what happened?
01:20:19He shoved me onto the bed.
01:20:21I put the gun in my mouth.
01:20:32And he raped me.
01:20:36I'm sorry.
01:20:43How old were you?
01:20:47Eleven.
01:20:47And how did that make you feel?
01:20:53He, uh, here's the
01:20:55only man in the world that's supposed to keep you safe and
01:21:00he was enjoying her and me.
01:21:07I've had no control over my life
01:21:10or death.
01:21:12And honestly, that is how I felt
01:21:14since the police told me about what Ricky did.
01:21:16I've done nothing wrong.
01:21:21And I can't fight back.
01:21:24And I know that I was naive,
01:21:26but I trusted my brother.
01:21:30And your brother knew how ingrained it was in you
01:21:32to just lie there and be quiet?
01:21:37He knew.
01:21:39Did you kill your mother?
01:21:42No.
01:21:42Did you help your brother kill your mother?
01:21:46Absolutely not.
01:21:49No more questions, Your Honor.
01:21:58Prosecution, your witness.
01:21:59Thank you, Your Honor.
01:22:07You expect us to believe that your brother won the lottery
01:22:10and simply started showering you and Susan with gifts?
01:22:13No.
01:22:14Ricky gave me a loan
01:22:15of $2,500
01:22:16for a down payment on a truck I really needed.
01:22:19And the suicide note that you wrote
01:22:23where you said
01:22:25we had a part
01:22:26in mother leaving,
01:22:28that's referring to you and Ricky?
01:22:31Yes, I guess so.
01:22:33And
01:22:34you're being so honest with us
01:22:36because
01:22:36you assumed that you would be dead
01:22:39by the time the note was found.
01:22:40I didn't know if I was going to live or die,
01:22:43but I knew that I let a monster into my house
01:22:46a few doors down from my mother
01:22:48and
01:22:48he turned my sister against me.
01:22:59I should have never let that man move into my home.
01:23:06So why did you kill your mother?
01:23:07I never killed my mother.
01:23:17No further questions, Your Honor.
01:23:26It's good that the jury wanted you to go straight into deliberation
01:23:29instead of waiting the weekend.
01:23:31Hey.
01:23:35Thanks.
01:23:37Hey.
01:23:42You okay?
01:23:45Yeah, I was just wondering
01:23:46if this is going to be our last night.
01:23:50Ever.
01:23:52The verdict's in.
01:23:53If you have anything personal on you,
01:24:12hand it to Susan.
01:24:15You don't think we're going to win?
01:24:16Just in case.
01:24:17Okay.
01:24:17Okay.
01:24:18Okay.
01:24:18Okay.
01:24:18Okay.
01:24:18Okay.

01:27:10I hate the word victim.
01:27:15Usually just means survivor.
01:27:16normal human being in a sea of angry,
01:27:21vicious people who are supposed to be loved ones.
01:27:28Am I getting warm?
01:27:29I'm just here because the court said I had to be.
01:27:33So can you just sign the paper so I can go?
01:27:37I know you've been through a lot.
01:27:41And you don't have to talk to me about it.
01:27:43But it might help.
01:27:46And we've got an hour.
01:27:52I'm here to listen.
