00:00Tonight we're hearing from the mother of a man declared missing in Myrtle Beach.
00:15This is not like our son. He would not just disappear without a trace. He just would.
00:22Not knowing where her son is or if he's okay, she's living a mother's worst nightmare.
00:28I'm worried that he is hurt. It's the not knowing. It's the nightmare in all this.
00:35I'm worried that someone is hurting.
00:38I just beg the public to keep us in your prayers because, you know, God is the only one that's going to get us all free.
00:51Every suspect accused of a crime has the right to remain silent.
00:55Many agree to be interrogated anyway, but they can stop the interview at any moment, making it a race against time.
01:05Justice hangs in the balance.
01:08Christopher Bowling's mother contacted the Myrtle Beach Police Department because, even though he was 25 years old,
01:24Chris was the sort of person who got in touch with his mother fairly frequently, but he didn't make any contact for five or six days.
01:31He stopped showing up at work. It got to the point where several people were concerned.
01:35Chris's mom, she was just extremely emotional and convinced that something bad had happened to Chris.
01:46Shortly after police received the phone call, they checked local hospitals.
01:51No hits on the hospitals. They went to his apartment, knocked several times.
01:55No answer at the apartment. They had no leads. It's like he had just vanished.
01:59Marissa shared with us that Chris was from Tennessee, but moved to Myrtle Beach because his son,
02:25who was two at the time, lived in Myrtle Beach, and he wanted to be closer to his son.
02:32She told us that on July 28th, Chris was supposed to have their son and that she had not heard from him.
02:42She said that was very out of character and unlike him, that he was always reliable when it would come to meeting with his son.
02:51And she was extremely worried about Chris.
02:56There was no activity after the late evening of the 27th.
03:11We still weren't sure if there was some kind of foul play, but we all felt that something bad had happened to Chris.
03:20Chris was my best friend.
03:34He would even tell people, I'm a mama's boy, you know.
03:39He had a big heart.
03:42He loved his sisters.
03:44With the youngest one, when she was born, Chris called her his baby, and he was very protective of her.
03:53He was so special and so gifted.
03:58He became passionate in rapping.
04:02The age 14, 15, some around in there.
04:06I mean, to hear him spit those lyrics out like he did, it's unreal.
04:11Chris had ambition, perseverance.
04:17As he got older, he was wanting to be a producer.
04:20He would make beats for other kids out there that wanted to go into that type of music.
04:28When he went missing, I felt like I'm in a nightmare and I'm never going to wake up.
04:34I keep looking at my phone, hoping that he would text or call.
04:42I was praying that Chris was alive.
04:45July 27th is not only the last day Christopher Sky Bowling was officially seen in Myrtle Beach,
05:02but it's also the last day Kelly similarly says she heard from her sons.
05:07We want answers.
05:08We want to know where our son is.
05:11We are speaking with Tyler Panzarella.
05:30How long have you known Chris?
05:34Not too long.
05:36He advised that he did not know Chris very well, that he had met Chris through a mutual friend.
05:44So his son and stuff is here.
05:46So he was asking me, he's like, hey, I want to come down to Myrtle Beach and everything.
05:51Could you help me out and let me stay with you?
05:53I'll pay you rent or whatever.
05:54And I was like, yeah, no problem.
05:55And then Tyler told us that Chris decided to come down here with his two friends from back home as well, Bailey and Nick.
06:03Once they arrived, Bailey and Nick also asked, hey, can we also stay with you for some time?
06:08And he agreed, yes, they all could stay there temporarily.
06:10Last time I heard from him, I think it was like the 26th, 27th, I believe it was.
06:17And then he just kept talking about like this girl he was talking about and going to like North Carolina with her.
06:24Who's the girl do you know?
06:25I have no idea.
06:26I don't know the specific name.
06:28And then like didn't answer my phone calls or nothing, anything, nothing at all.
06:34Do you have Bailey and Nick's numbers?
06:36Yeah.
06:37Tyler said that after Chris went missing, Nick and Bailey had moved back to Tennessee.
06:44Tyler didn't seem nervous, but the information he was sharing that Chris would all of a sudden run off with a girl as much as he cared about his son, it didn't make sense.
06:57There was a gut feeling that things weren't adding up and that something was wrong.
07:07Nick Henry said that he had not spoken to Chris since the end of July and that he had basically left Myrtle Beach to do with a girl.
07:24Again, it was just more of the same story that just didn't make any sense to us.
07:28Something just wasn't right.
07:29Detectives delved into his Snapchat, found a couple posts that he had made the day that he went missing.
07:51He had posted a full body selfie where you could see what he was wearing.
07:55The shoes he was wearing were some blue Jordans.
07:57We learned that Chris was actually making plans to stay in Myrtle Beach.
08:03He was in the process of getting his own apartment.
08:06He had posted on social media on the 27th showing that apartment complex.
08:10That contradicted what we had learned from Tyler and Nick as far as him leaving town with a girl.
08:15We were very suspicious of Tyler.
08:41So we had a cadaver dog come and be on scene during the search warrant.
08:47The cadaver dog that was brought in actually alerted inside the apartment.
08:52Between the living room and the master bedroom, that was a location that Chris was known to sleep at.
08:58And when the dog got to the area, it positively alerted for human remains.
09:06Speaking to the people that, you know, are in charge of those dogs, they said it could have been something as simple as some kind of trace evidence or something being carried from clothing or from the shoes and that kind of stuff to the apartment.
09:18So at that point, we are transitioning from this missing persons case to now we're having direct evidence of a homicide.
09:25So at that point, we're going to go outside of the apartment.
09:55Our game plan was to start non-confrontational and kind of let him run the interview at that point.
10:08All you're signing for is that I read to your rights and you understand those rights.
10:11Then after we get his statement on video, we would start questioning the inconsistencies and make it more of an interrogation.
10:21What day was the last time you saw Chris?
10:24I said 27.
10:26So what was the circumstance around that?
10:28It was just nice that he was leaving and Nick was like, oh, I think he's just from the background.
10:34So I mean, like you guys inside when he's like packing up his stuff?
10:37Yeah, I was leaving because I wanted to go to my friend Devin's house on the Carolina Forest.
10:41Anybody else go to you guys?
10:42Yeah, Nick and Bailey went with me to Devin's.
10:44Did you guys hang around until you saw him leave or you guys just dropped him off?
10:49Just dropped him off.
10:50Like the back of the parking lot?
10:53I mean, just gone.
10:56Now he's locked himself into the story.
10:58Then that's when we decided to transition to the interrogation, asking direct questions and being able to verify whether he's been caught in a lie.
11:05You know, originally we were kind of helping the missing persons division, okay?
11:17At this point, I mean, we think that something happened to Chris.
11:21And we're obviously talking to you because you're one of the last people that saw him, okay?
11:25This is the important part, okay?
11:27For you to basically be 100% truthful and just listen to him for a second, okay?
11:33To tell us everything you know, okay?
11:35Because we think something happened to possibly an accident, okay?
11:39And we think you know something about it.
11:53We've been in investigation for a long time.
11:55The Myrtle Beach Police Department has not, not solved an investigation like this since 2000, okay?
12:0020 years.
12:02So, what do you think?
12:04What I was saying, that's not 100% truthful.
12:07You know what I mean?
12:07I haven't seen him since then.
12:10I'll tell you right now, when we came into the search warrant, we had a cadaver dog come.
12:15The dog alerted to a possible deceased person in your apartment.
12:17What I'm trying to do, I mean, I'm not playing games with you.
12:29If you're, I know, I'm just, I know.
12:31What I'm saying is, I'm trying to give you every opportunity to basically tell us anything additional you may have.
12:36We need to know now, because later on, when we put the puzzle together, which we're going to do, we're not going to have this conversation.
12:44Does that make sense?
12:44You can tell Tyler was getting a little nervous.
12:51It's at that point he realizes that his story's falling apart.
12:55So, he has an option.
12:57And the option is to change his story or tell the truth.
13:01I don't know specific things.
13:05I was cramping that night.
13:08I guess it's like little arguments, like over stupid stuff.
13:11Have you ever had a weapon?
13:17It was a 9mm, but it went missing whenever Nick left.
13:22He left for Tennessee.
13:25Do you think that Nick or Bailey would be capable of doing something to Chris?
13:30When you say Bailey, I mean, just from like the way Nick talks and carries himself.
13:36Like, maybe.
13:39Nick scares me.
13:40Okay, if I can be really honest, like, truthfully, like this was, like, it freaks me out.
13:45And so, like, he, like, said weird stuff about, or basically, like, that he might have done something.
13:52And that just scared the s*** out of me.
13:54I've never been around that.
13:55Like, you know what I mean?
13:56What did he tell you?
13:57What was the road?
13:58What's that old haunted road?
14:00Like, on Lucas Bay Road?
14:01I never heard that story.
14:03It was like a friendly haunted road back there.
14:05He was saying he went there and, like, did something or whatever.
14:09Like, I said he killed somebody.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:11But, like, and then that's when my gun missed him.
14:14But I don't know who it was, because it was scary.
14:16Well, hearing that story.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Do you think it could be Chris?
14:20I mean, now, yeah, honestly.
14:25As Tyler is recounting that part of the story, I felt that he was telling partial truths, but we were trying to just not show any reaction, just keep him talking.
14:43If you're scared of Nick or Bailey or someone else, or, you know, the best thing you do if you want to help yourself out is tell the truth.
14:51So, did you see Chris dead at any point?
14:59Okay.
14:59Can you tell us what happened?
15:00Nick was telling me to go there.
15:03He thought we were just going to go do some, like, haunted stuff or, like, by that road or whatever.
15:07So, like, we went there, and then, like, he had my gun or whatever, and then just, like, did it, like, just shot him.
15:19Nick shot Chris.
15:21How many times did you shoot him?
15:24Where?
15:26Then what happened?
15:27When he's talking about shaking and freaking out, he's showing no emotion at all.
15:44To me, his demeanor seemed like he's being dishonest, but we were extremely concerned with finding out where Chris was.
15:54So, we didn't want to press too much.
15:58So, you're out there on Lucas Road.
15:59Who's with you?
16:00You?
16:01Nick and Bailey.
16:02Okay.
16:03So, the four of you get out of the car, and what happens?
16:08We just walk into the woods and just shut up.
16:12What was the conversation before the gun went off?
16:15Nothing.
16:15We were just all walking through the woods.
16:17So, how did Nick get the gun?
16:19I mean, he just took it out of your car?
16:21Or he had the gun when you guys got out of the car?
16:22Because I was walking, and he told me to bring it or whatever.
16:27So, I was like, okay.
16:28And then he was like, hey, let me see it.
16:29And I was like, what?
16:30He's like, I just want to shoot it or whatever.
16:32So, I was like, okay.
16:33And then I handed it to him.
16:36How far were they standing?
16:38I, like, standing like that.
16:40Okay, so, 60, do you ever take arm extended or?
16:47Yeah.
16:48No.
16:49No, you can.
16:50You don't know anything or anything.
16:51Yeah, I can't.
16:52No, they just like that.
16:54I could tell that he was reliving that moment.
17:01He appeared to be seeing Chris.
17:04He didn't see me standing there.
17:06And you could just see the blank look in his eyes.
17:09It seemed like he was the one that shot Chris.
17:14And he was trying to shift the focus to Nick.
17:18He seemed to be giving us all the facts of the case, just downplaying his involvement at that point.
17:24So, did Nick say anything right after he shot him?
17:27Nothing.
17:28He just was quiet.
17:29And then he just, like, he was like, take this.
17:31So, he gave you back the gun?
17:32Yeah.
17:33I didn't know what to do.
17:34So, I just grabbed him and went to the car.
17:36He's telling us that Nick shoots somebody with his gun, with Tyler's gun, and then gives the gun back to him.
17:45At this point, you'd be able to point the gun at Nick if you want to.
17:48You'd be able to say, I'm leaving.
17:49I'm getting in my car.
17:49I'm not taking you with me.
17:51I'm going to the police.
17:52It just doesn't make sense.
17:54So, where's his body now?
17:55Like, Lucas wrote somewhere?
17:57Yeah.
17:57You think he could get as close to the spot?
18:00Yeah.
18:00I could probably tell you that.
18:02Yes.
18:04That moment, Tyler was the lead in the homicide investigation.
18:11At that point, we did not have any physical evidence, and we did not have a body.
18:19So, we charged him with obstruction of justice for impeding and hindering our missing person investigation.
18:28Let's just go back down there.
18:29You got a handcuff key on your thing?
18:55Yeah.
18:56You just want to get him out and take the shackles off.
19:00Swing your feet around, man.
19:01We're going to take these leg shackles off real fast.
19:03The entire time, he didn't put off the air of being scared.
19:15He was just cold and emotionless.
19:20To the right, it's kind of like saying that you're 1, 2 o'clock.
19:32I think that's about to stop it.
19:35You want to check it out?
19:36For me, in that moment, the lack of emotion just solidified that he was the one that shot Chris.
19:49Be careful where you're stepping up.
19:50There's a crime scene.
19:52You remember what shoes he was wearing that night?
20:15It's like blue Jordans.
20:17Blue and white?
20:18I'm not fishing these guys.
20:26From where I'm standing, I can see shoes that appear to be the same shoes that Chris was wearing in the Snapchat from the night before he went missing.
20:36For me, that was probably one of the biggest moments of the case because at that point, you know that it's more than likely going to be Chris.
20:43I remember telling my husband,
21:04He's gone.
21:06He's gone.
21:07He's gone.
21:09I didn't want to believe it.
21:12I would have died for him.
21:16He was my first.
21:18Once the body's found, we decided, let's basically turn the heat up.
21:47We were trying to rattle Tyler.
21:50We're trying to get him to make a confession.
21:53As a law enforcement officer, you're actually allowed to lie in interviews.
21:56You just got to be careful as far as, you know, what you're lying about.
22:00Just talked to the guys in Tennessee.
22:02They're saying, some boys there are saying he's the guy.
22:05Sergeant Lent tells them that he just talked to Nick and Bailey and that they are saying that Tyler is the shooter.
22:19What he is saying is a lie.
22:22We had not spoken to Nick or Bailey.
22:26We wanted to see if he changed his story or what his reaction was.
22:29They're saying that you planned this, you drove him out there, you had the gun, y'all walked out there, you gave the gun, you shot him.
22:44No, I never had a problem with Chris, nothing ever.
22:47I'm not like that, man.
22:48I don't, I came from a good family, I promise you, man.
22:52Like, I would never do that to someone, ever.
22:54They say you did it.
22:59No.
23:01I'm telling you, I'm a good person.
23:03I would never, never in my entire life, ever.
23:06You're saying he was a good guy?
23:08Why didn't you call 911 whenever you left there?
23:11You just left him out there to die.
23:12Because I was scared, man.
23:15I didn't know what to do.
23:17This is your chance?
23:18I mean, did you do it?
23:20No.
23:20You're killing me?
23:21No.
23:21I'm being 100% honest on everything.
23:24No.
23:25I told you, everything that happened, I was, no.
23:28So, was it an accident?
23:30You shooting by accident?
23:31I never saw it.
23:32Or, or, or, or, or you're just a monster and just say, hey, I'm going to take you to the woods and blow your head off.
23:37No, man, they had the gun.
23:39It's, it's been, like, he, that, he, he scares me.
23:42He's been scared of me ever since, like, he got, like, that's the type of person he is.
23:46So, for a normal person, if you are scared and you just saw somebody murder somebody, are you going to, one, take that gun back?
23:54And then if you're truly nervous, now you have the only weapon.
23:57So, at that point, why not remove yourself from the situation?
23:59But he's doing everything that Nick tells him to do, even when Nick no longer has a gun, which is kind of strange.
24:05I've tried.
24:06No, I should have told you guys.
24:07I've never been around that.
24:09I've never been in that situation.
24:10If you're surrounded by someone every day, you're going to get on each other's nerves.
24:18All right, Tyler, sit tight, and we'll be right back again.
24:21Okay.
24:35All right, fellas.
24:37Sergeant Lee, this is my sergeant, okay?
24:38Sergeant Lee is more assertive, more direct.
24:45I've been sitting in another room, listening to you, listening to everything you say.
24:49And all these guys have told me everything that's been going on for the last three or four weeks or whenever the hell this s*** started.
24:55All right?
24:56You're how old?
24:57What do you plan on doing with your life?
25:01Be the best person I can be.
25:03Really?
25:04Where do you want to be that best person?
25:07Let me tell you right now.
25:08You're fixing to go to prison.
25:10Guess what's going to get done to Tyler?
25:13You're going from here, you're going to get charged with murder.
25:15You're going to be charged with killing Chris.
25:18Do you understand that?
25:19Look at me.
25:20Don't sit there and give me these crocodile tears.
25:23Tyler, don't sit here and bull s*** me.
25:26Tyler, you've played the game in here long enough.
25:40You're involved in some s*** that you would have never, ever, ever been done if you were a good person.
25:51Because you don't go out to Lucas Bay Lights and bring a gun into the woods at night if you ain't got something planned.
26:01So be honest.
26:03This story, to be able to tell this story shouldn't take you any more than five minutes from beginning to end.
26:08So that's what you think.
26:10You think I'm just that type of person.
26:11And I don't know where you're in.
26:12Yeah, I think you're the kind of person that takes a friend out into the middle of the woods.
26:16From what representation, though, as well?
26:18From your own words!
26:20You took your gun out of the glove box.
26:23You can smile all the f*** you want.
26:24I'm not smiling right now.
26:25You're smirking.
26:26I'm not smirking.
26:27You took your gun out of the f*** damn glove box.
26:29You handed it to a...
26:30You say you handed it to another kid who then shot your buddy.
26:34And then you all just...
26:35Let's just go back in the car and go back to my apartment.
26:38It takes you a month to come forward and say...
26:41I didn't know what to...
26:41No!
26:42You didn't know what to do.
26:43You're a good person.
26:45But good people, you know what they don't do?
26:46They don't leave a f***ing kid to lay out in the woods to get eaten by animals.
26:50That's what you did.
26:51You got him.
26:52Five minutes.
26:53Five minutes.
26:55You better call him.
26:59It may appear that he lost his patience and left the room.
27:02But that's by plan.
27:03Lent, quote-unquote bad cop,
27:06then Detective DeWitt being the big cop.
27:07That was pretty much our strategy at that point.
27:09After Lent's no longer in the room,
27:11hopefully Tyler is now going to open up to the other detective that's in that room.
27:15Because he's being nice and reasonable.
27:17I want to talk to him.
27:20Is there anything else you could think of?
27:22Anything whatsoever?
27:25I don't know what happened.
27:26I know what the story is.
27:28I know where the body is.
27:29Stuff like that.
27:31I made a mistake.
27:32I should have came to you guys sooner.
27:33I should have.
27:34I didn't know what to do.
27:36I had no idea.
27:38But now I've got to live with that.
27:39There's really nothing I can do to get away from this, sir.
27:45I know that.
27:47I made a mistake, dude.
27:50Now I've got to pay for that.
27:51He never came out and said he was the one who did it.
27:56But the interrogation of Tyler, it was critical.
27:59Because he put himself there, he was the only one who owned a gun, his story, it didn't make sense.
28:07It didn't all match up.
28:08What is important to consider in this case is that Nick and Bailey are from Tennessee.
28:16Meanwhile, Tyler is from around here.
28:18If any of them would be familiar with a local ghost story that is urban legend around here, it would certainly have been Tyler.
28:25Now, it was extremely important for the officers to talk to Nick and to talk to Bailey, for them to establish everything that happened during that shooting.
28:55Hey, how are you?
29:19Should I relax?
29:20Okay, we should have a conversation, all right?
29:23Yeah, I mean.
29:25He was, like, very thrown off his game because he was obviously seeing us from Myrtle Beach and Horry County.
29:32I'm sure that heightened his senses and the fact where it's, like, he knows why we're there.
29:40So, what's going to happen to me?
29:43Am I going to jail?
29:45All right, so let's just have a conversation and we'll kind of cross that bridge and we'll get to it, okay?
29:50All right, Nick, so, keep it real with you, okay?
29:54Yeah.
29:54Um, obviously, we're from South Carolina.
29:56I work Horry County.
29:58He works from North Beach.
29:59We've been working on a case for quite some time now, okay?
30:02And we have recently that you are involved in that case, okay?
30:05So, we're going to go back to the night of the July 27th, 2020.
30:09Yeah.
30:10Tell me about it.
30:10I don't want to say anything.
30:18Why?
30:21Take some deep breaths, man.
30:22He told me he was like, if you ever tell anybody, I'm going to give you a video of Grandpa.
30:34Please.
30:35I don't want any hands on my Grandpa.
30:38Please.
30:39Make sure you get new does this.
30:59Please.
31:01Yeah, that's my house key.
31:03Take some deep breaths, man.
31:04I don't want any.
31:06he was so emotional that he wasn't he couldn't control himself
31:16it was important to try to settle him make him feel comfortable and relaxed there are times
31:26where you need to be softer and coax the information that you are trying to learn
31:34more than four days basically your side of the story we don't have a conversation that's
31:39all we're gonna do today okay so tell me what happened who thinks he's a child we're a gay
31:46gay what he's telling him please don't tell him i told you
31:55so tyle's in jail so he's not a friendship man okay
32:02but um unfortunately got trapped in this okay so we're just trying to see what you can
32:09provide to us as far as from your point of view okay to make sure we have the story here
32:13okay so that's what we're looking for from you
32:15okay so we're in the car and we're driving who's there
32:26baby skye's house whenever whenever you say skye who's skye what's his real name
32:32i guess god said something about his nephew or something like that and started making fun
32:41of him and tyler just looked at him like that was the last straw they haven't really got along
32:48um what else can you tell him we're just driving and driving and i didn't know where the hell we're
32:54going and how his face was on the whole dirt road and he was talking about some haunted forest
33:00three haunted something and everybody was just freaked out and we started walking and he made sure he was behind us and we all got somewhere wherever he wanted us to go to
33:16but he told me it was just a damn specific box and he didn't get through soup
33:23i was just i was i was terrified i didn't know if i was going to talk to him and
33:30you know it was just and i've never seen anything like that before and i didn't know what to do
33:38so you so you didn't touch somebody at all no i promise i did i swear to god
33:44i was scared he just popped him in front of me
33:53one of the differences in the interview with nick as opposed to the interview with tyler
34:04nick was very upset and showing fear a lot of emotion he just seems to be saying what he's
34:14feeling and exactly what he's trying to convey he's actually scared of the whole situation compared to
34:21like what tyler's very composed
34:28why did he say he shot tyler said i shot him because tyler shot him
34:33like like listen bro like i'm telling y'all the guys on his truth i did not do it he did it
34:42when you see someone get extremely emotional um in the face of an allegation of a crime
34:50moving around and waving around usually they're being honest because they're worried and upset that
34:59you're gonna believe false information but with nick we thought to push him a little further and see
35:07if his emotions changed if his demeanor changed and if anything in his story changed
35:14and i have the proof that it was his gun it was the first day i met him and he showed me
35:20it was not me i swear to god
35:24what is that
35:26what is that
35:39what is that
35:41what is that
35:43what is that picture
35:44look at that
35:45look at it
35:46look at it
35:47see that
35:48y'all did that
35:49see that
35:51look at that
35:52who is that right there
35:53look at it
35:54who is that right there
35:55look at it
35:57shit
35:59who did that
36:00who did that
36:01do
36:06what am i gonna tell his kids man
36:07what am i gonna tell his kids man
36:11what am i gonna tell his kids man
36:16no
36:18huh
36:19I
36:21didn't do it
36:22Who was that right there?
36:25Look at it.
36:26That's God, but I didn't do it.
36:29I swear to God, I didn't do it.
36:31I did not want none of that to happen to you.
36:33I swear to God.
36:35I swear to God on everything.
36:36I promise.
36:37I swear to God.
36:38Like, I'm the one who took him down there to see his kid.
36:41And now he's dead.
36:42It's not my fault.
36:43It's not my fault, bro.
36:52Even under that extreme pressure, you know, he's still saying he didn't do it.
36:57It's not my fault.
36:58He's still naming Tyler the person that did it.
37:02So you're seeing him actually get frustrated, getting angry about the situation because he's being blamed in his mind for something that he didn't do.
37:10Did you talk to the plan with Tyler?
37:14No.
37:14Did you talk to the plan that Tyler had for this whole situation?
37:17No.
37:18Neither did Baby.
37:20One percent.
37:22What kind of responsibility do you think Tyler has for this is what happened?
37:25Zero to a hundred.
37:26Zero being the least, a hundred being the worst.
37:28Like a hundred.
37:29He's the one who...
37:30I'm going to ask you this.
37:31Baby, what percentage do you think he is for this?
37:35None.
37:36Zero.
37:37Zero percent?
37:38Yeah.
37:39And what percent do you think you are?
37:41I'm going to ask you this.
37:42I couldn't say anything.
37:44I couldn't.
37:46Percentage-wise, do you think you have no responsibility for what happened?
37:49I mean, I couldn't help it.
37:52So, like, maybe, like, two or something.
37:54But I can't just stop that.
37:56Because he was going to do that to me, too.
38:01Like, please, it wasn't me.
38:02I swear to God, it wasn't me.
38:06Watching Nick, I think that his emotions were real in that aspect.
38:09Everything he said and the way he was reacting, I really believe that he was scared of Tyler at that point.
38:13What made it believable was the fact that Nick was not just scared for himself.
38:20He was scared for his grandfather and for his family.
38:24He seemed to get more emotional talking about that.
38:27All right, this is a voluntary statement.
38:30Everything you just told us, you'll be writing on paper.
38:32All right.
38:34Take care.
38:39It's very important because Bailey hasn't had the finger point at him yet.
38:57So we wanted to really talk to Bailey because we figured that he'd be the most independent person.
39:01Is he going to say that it was Nick?
39:02Is he going to say that it was Tyler?
39:03He's going to say that it was Nick.
39:33Walter, you're going to be with us because we don't need you getting in trouble just because your friends put you in a bad situation because nobody said you did anything, but you were there.
39:41What I need to know is, did Tyler shoot him or did Nick shoot him?
39:47Who shot him?
39:48Who pulled out a gun?
39:49Tyler.
39:50Tyler pulls out his gun and shoots who?
39:53Chris.
39:54How many shots?
39:55Just one.
39:57Okay.
39:57Make any direct threats to you?
39:59I mean, he told me if something happened, he'd know.
40:03Some other people we've spoken to said Nick shot him.
40:09No, it would.
40:10No, just because he's my friend, you don't mean I'm going to stand up for him because I'm going to try it either way.
40:18But it was Tyler.
40:20Would you be willing to take a photograph to show that you're not having a frightening false information to us today?
40:25No, sir.
40:25All right.
40:27Just sit tight for me, all right?
40:29Thank you, sir.
40:29I'm going to take a look at Nick.
40:29I'm going to take a look at Nick.
40:30I'm going to take a look at Nick.
40:31After Bailey's interview, he wrote a written statement.
40:36And then he also drew a sketch where the vehicle was parked and the way they were standing in the woods.
40:44And it just strengthened our case and Nick and Bailey's version of events.
40:59Bailey gave police all the information that he was able to, and he did not lie.
41:04Investigators determined that Bailey's involvement in this case was mere presence.
41:10And at that point, he was allowed to leave the police department.
41:13Bailey was never charged with anything related to this case.
41:19The interrogations were extremely important in this case.
41:24The initial interrogation with Tyler was obviously the huge turning point.
41:32All three interrogations put together gave us that timeline of events and the details of what happened that evening.
41:49Normally, you can kind of keep yourself detached from cases.
41:53For some reason, this case, it was like Chris didn't do anything to kind of bring this upon himself.
41:57He's trying to go to work, trying to be in his child's life.
42:01We all really fought really hard to try to find the facts and the truth of what happened in this case to bring closure to his family.
42:08So
42:14We all really do happy with Scott Gilman.
42:30We'll see you later.
42:30We'll see you later.
42:30Bye.
42:32Bye.
42:32Bye.
42:33Bye.
42:33Bye.
42:34Bye.
42:35Bye.
42:36Bye.
42:37Bye.
