00:00A woman was found in room 205.

00:11She's got blood all around her.

00:14There's blood coming out of her nose and mouth.

00:16I went back up and went 205 and opened the door and I could see her foot.

00:24She had a washcloth that was stuffed in her mouth and a shoe print on the side of her face.

00:30From prior incidents at the hotel, we knew there was pretty good surveillance there, a lot of cameras.

00:37We see someone walk into the room and he's in there for 14 minutes.

00:43He leaves the room and leaves the hotel.

00:46You see just this sinister look on his face.

00:50You really didn't know what was behind the eyes.

00:55He's just pure evil in my opinion. He always has been.

00:58He knew exactly what he was doing and the consequences for that.

01:02Venice, Florida, April 20th, 2021.

01:30police respond to a call about a gravely wounded woman found in the roadway in from an employee at

01:37the hotel and the woman's husband an employee from the hotel Ryan reported that a woman was found in

01:47room 205 when he was talking to the dispatch he said that it looks like she fell she she's got

01:58blood all around her there's blood coming out of her nose and mouth she's got very shallow breathing

02:03he put his hand on her chest and could feel a heartbeat when he found her he also noticed that

02:09there was a towel on her mouth he pulled the towel out just tried to resuscitate her at that point

02:22we actually had one of our guys parked in the parking lot of the roadway when the call came

02:28out my initial thought was likely a drug overdose at this period of time we're having a real problem

02:37with fentanyl overdoses even to the point where you know we're carrying Narcan in our vest when I first

02:46got there the paramedics and firefighters they were arriving on scene I went up the stairway with them

02:52and one of our deputies was already there providing first aid and you know as soon as the paramedics

02:59got there they took over first aid and I I kind of just stood outside the room in the doorway just to

03:06maintain the scene

03:07the victim's husband Gerald Strader identifies her to the police as Tina Strader and informs them

03:16that she works as a cleaner in the roadway in when they found her she was half in the closet with her

03:23feet sticking out so they could see her feet from the doorway so when they pulled her there was a

03:29trail of blood from the closet to where she was ultimately bound by first responders she had some

03:37trauma to her face and to her neck what stood out the most is that she had a shoe print on the side of

03:44her face as far as we knew she hadn't been down too long because Ryan did see her chest rise he had

03:50been performing CPR so any signs of life our first priority is preservation of life so they're going

03:56to transport her to the hospital to see if they can save her as Tina's rushed to the hospital detectives

04:04pulled Gerald aside and asked him some questions we needed to speak with him we need to get more

04:10information about some of the things that he saw because he was he was living there he was on on

04:15scene when this happened he was one of our best witnesses to put a time frame together

04:21it was 205 on her on her yeah a vacant list it was on her vacant list so she told you she was there

04:31at 849 and I texted her right back she texted both those messages at 849 and texted her back at 851 and

04:40she didn't text me back so what time did you end up uh going and looking honestly it must have been

04:45right after 952 I went to third floor and I saw Liz with the third floor girl I said have you seen Tina at

04:53all she said she's on second floor I said well she's she's supposed to be down there but I don't see her

04:58anywhere I went back up and went to file and um open the door and I could see her foot he's got some

05:08physical disabilities so he wasn't able to actually go into the room due to his wheelchair but he called

05:15for Ryan her head was right by the water heater and she was kind of laying um half in that room and half right

05:25there in front of the sink and she was in a pool of blood under her head and it was smeared over here on the

05:33floor too um and she had a rag in her mouth like stuffed way down in her mouth that was wadded like this and

05:41stuck down in her throat something just didn't seem right with the whole circumstance she was

05:50there alone she was an employee we knew she was in there cleaning the room there was some blood on

05:56the floor one of our guys on our unit immediately went down to the front office to start checking

06:04video to see if there's anything unusual from prior incidents at the hotel we knew there was pretty good

06:10surveillance there a lot of cameras he calls me up shortly after like within minutes he told me

06:18something's not right here what you see in the video is Tina approaches room 205 with her cart

06:31you see her husband kind of in the background and they look like they're having some type of an

06:38exchange just a verbal exchange and she goes into the room and her husband leaves the opposite direction

06:45only a minute later we see someone he walks towards the room you can see him look inside

06:54he then walks back towards his room which was 209 just around the corner

06:59and then he comes back and you see him walk into the room

07:07he's in there for 14 minutes

07:14he leaves the room and leaves the hotel

07:19what was really scary with that tape is you see just this sinister look on his face

07:43both before and after he enters the room he's smiling and he looks like he's proud of himself

07:52it was gut-wrenching to watch that

07:58investigators speak to the staff at the roadway in to learn more about the man staying in room 209

08:10I interviewed the motel staff I was tasked with speaking to them about any interactions they had

08:18with him during that time he was not favorably looked upon as a guest created a lot of issues with

08:24some of the other tenants the staff themselves were not comfortable being around him

08:29my wife cleaned uh I think it was 209 yesterday and said something to the management that something

08:40wasn't right about that guy she's like keep an eye on this guy because there's just something not right

08:46about him I don't know what it is

08:48he had a lot of tattoos which has nothing to do with the tattoos aren't the point

08:53it was more his eyes he gave me a look I don't know it was weird

08:58he had dark eyes his eyes were black

09:01so I called my husband before I went back to the room to give him his towels and I had my husband come up

09:07and then I handed the guy the towels he said thank you he went on about his business

09:12and he just sat there with the door open smoking listening to a lot of music loud music everybody

09:19that came in contact with him would he would not let them he was not a nice guy he would snap at

09:27these people and he would be that person when you look at him and he just start saying things to you

09:32and in a demeaning manner and you weren't sure what was going to happen you really didn't know what was

09:39behind the eyes

09:44investigators conduct the search of both rooms for evidence to see if they can establish a link

09:51between Tina Strader and the man staying in room 209

09:56room 205 was where Tina was located so in there we had again her clothing we had the towel that was

10:04stuffed in her mouth a lanyard that she had been wearing her hearing aid some blood

10:09swabs at that point we kind of focused our attention to his room being that you know he's

10:17likely a suspect and whatever happened to Tina in room 205 so we were outside the room we start making

10:24announcements for him to come out and there's no response so we thought we were probably gonna

10:29have to make entry within 209 we located some more narcotics another towel that was bloodied and we also

10:38took the p-trap in his sink because we were hoping to find some more evidence that maybe he had tried

10:44to wash himself prior to leaving the hotel police fanned across the hotel property in a desperate search

10:52for the suspect from room 209 but he was nowhere to be found they knew it was a race against time

10:59to apprehend a violent killer who might strike again

11:10April 20th 2021 police are searching for their prime suspect in the attack on Tina Strader

11:17when they catch a break through interviewing the motel staff they learn the name of their suspect

11:24Stephen Havrilka

11:30Stephen Havrilka has an extensive criminal history

11:35I worked that area he grew up in I started my career down there he was one of those kids that

11:41started with the vehicle burglaries and we kind of just dealt with him on that aspect and then it

11:45became every briefing he would do something or he'd be a person of interest in doing something

11:51he did go to jail for a little bit of time to take us away from there if you had a crime committed

11:58in that area he was always a person of interest at the time if he was out of jail

12:02as the crime scene is being processed detectives receive a surprising call about a potential sighting

12:10of this suspect there is a gentleman who was acting very erratic down by the regents bank

12:18he has his arms outstretched he's proclaiming that he's jesus and this is when the 9-1-1 calls start

12:24coming in we start hearing calls for backup from the deputy that responded to the bank down the

12:33road for the suspicious person to be honest i didn't really pay any attention when the initial call

12:41came out because our circumstance at the hotel but then when we start hearing our deputy down the

12:47road calling for backup another deputy at the hotel told me hey i think he's out with you know

12:54steven havrilka who's our suspect here at that point i ran down to my car and i got to him as fast

13:01as i could we were really fortunate with this case and that we did have all of the community support

13:08that we did because they saw this guy and they said you know what he doesn't look right there's

13:12something off about him people thought he was crazy they didn't know if he was on something

13:19but he was getting down on his knees acting like he was on a cross

13:23not normal behavior for somebody at roughly 11 o'clock in the morning in front of a bank

13:30when the callers called there was one female that said that he was stripping down and maybe

13:35possibly fondling himself there was another caller that stated that he was on his hands and knees praying

13:42when i got there there was two deputies they were just placing handcuffs on havrilka he was

13:53on his belly face down he was like trying to buck them off at that point i i came up and

13:59i helped him out i tried to hold him down and he just it felt like superhuman strength

14:04i remember i was trying to hold his legs and hamstrings down and he was like bucking me up

14:12i heard he was saying things like she and her and knowing that he had some involvement likely what

14:19happened to t-nap i took out my my cell phone i started recording just in case he made any like

14:24spontaneous statements about what he did there stop stop stop relax relax relax

14:31we're gonna get an ambulance to check you out okay man

14:57he was trying to eat grass he was just delusional he looked like he was definitely under the influence

15:06of drugs stop eating grass man stop eating the grass mommy i wasn't really you i was done

15:17when you help me

15:39some of the deputies that were there knew him from past encounters so luckily they were able

15:45to kind of talk him down a little bit so he didn't end up fighting them and they were able to take

15:50him into custody and ultimately he was transported to the hospital because he was so influenced by

15:55narcotics he was soaking wet he had no shirt on he had jeans that were they felt like he just got

16:04out of a swimming pool he obviously had something going on a mental situation or drug situation

16:10in the hospital they're checking his blood toxicity making sure that he doesn't have any kind of injuries

16:17so he's just there basically for medical clearance at this point

16:23at that point he was pretty sedated we collected his genes and you know put them in a paper bag for

16:31evidence purposes which it was later handed off to our crime scene people

16:35you know tina shoes are at the same hospital as a few rooms down actually steven have roca is too

16:46under the influence of drugs for police to question him about the attack on tina straighter who remains

16:52in critical condition investigators can only wait and hope that she will wake up and give a statement

16:59about what happened in room 205 venice florida april 2021 tina straighter is in critical condition after

17:14a brutal attack in the roadway in a few hours after being rushed to the hospital tina passes away from her

17:24injuries there's no easy way for us to tell someone that their loved one has died

17:29and especially in a manner such as this we all dreaded it's the worst part of the job

17:39i feel so awful for her and her family and what they've gone through

17:44i can't even imagine the the depth of pain that it must be for them

17:52gerald was what you would expect of a very grieving husband he was very emotional

17:58he really described tina as everything to him with the reason for him to continue living the reason for

18:04waking up every single day and when we were speaking with him you could just

18:08see the pain and the hurt that he was carrying both on the outside and the inside

18:13i think about her every day and what she deserves she was the biggest giver the biggest

18:24biggest heart the biggest genuine soul of anybody i've ever known in my entire life

18:34from what i learned from gerald tina just appeared to be a very infectious person

18:39somebody that was willing to help others somebody that was willing to talk to anybody that may be

18:45down on their luck and somebody that was always willing to lend a helping hand

18:52we learned that gerald had met tina at a poultry plant when they were both

18:56living in texas and tina had this bubbly personality and something just really stuck out and caught gerald's

19:02attention gerald and tina were really living out their honeymoon phase here in florida they were

19:10making friends they loved going to the beach gerald did have some health problems but tina was working

19:15to take care of him he used a wheelchair to get around and he was also employed at the motel as well

19:21sort of as a maintenance man so the two of them were really trying to build a life together here in

19:25florida

19:40initially at the hospital some things were not observed that were observed in the autopsy for

19:46instance the severe amount of bruising to her head and a shoe imprint that we found on her face

19:54with everything that's going on in the hospital with all the tubes and everything that was not

19:58necessarily visible at that time

20:02we want to know exactly how she died even though we have a lot of evidence pointing us to a certain

20:09cause of death we need a definitive answer we need somebody in a medical background

20:14telling us this is what she actually died of

20:22on the 21st of april 2021 sarasota sheriff's department hold a press conference to inform

20:29the community of the heinous crime that has taken place we knew that this was a big deal because the

20:36sheriff himself sheriff kurt hoffman had called a press conference

20:43you could tell the sense of urgency when we were out there we knew that something very bad had

20:48happened inside that room by all accounts what i'm about to share with you is one of the most

20:56egregious crimes we've seen recently here in sarasota county so we are following up leads today

21:01interviewing people looking at video things of that nature so it is still a very active investigation

21:07we found out it was strangulation not by a cord or a rope but by

21:17by crushing force which could only be done by by somebody's hands

21:26not to our surprise havruka was uncooperative when interviewed however through the investigation

21:31and detectives have learned that havruka did not know the victim i can only imagine that he may

21:37have spent his days perhaps observing her at the roadway in where she was employed and and he was

21:45staying as you can see havruka is extremely familiar with law enforcement he is a convicted felon

21:52with 34 prior felony charges and 19 felony convictions havruka's prior crimes range from battery domestic

22:02battery by strangulation burglary with a battery battery of a detained person battery of a person 65

22:09years or older and tampering with a witness to name a few there's no other way to describe mr havruka

22:16he is an animal he also has tattoos that depict his certain symbols of white supremacy

22:28the victim in this case was doing her job was certainly terrorized battered and now is deceased

22:36as this investigation continues we are committed to working with the state attorney's office to see

22:40that this man is put away for the rest of his life while stephen havruka is in the hospital he talks to

22:49the police about what happened that morning and admits to some harrowing details of the crime

22:55i did initially attempt to talk to him at the hospital and he would not talk with me

23:12however what was interesting is that we had deputies that had to go with him everywhere that he went

23:17as an inmate and at the hospital we admitted to the offense on several occasions to several of the

23:23corrections deputies

23:28i went ahead and uh i got high and i was up for about a week and when i was up for about a week

23:33i just walked out the door and then i took a left and when i took to the left i sensed that there was

23:40a woman right there in that room because there was 20 ways there but there could have been a guy

23:46when i went in there i took a left and then when i took the left i went there she was in the room and

23:52i said hey when she came in the room i hit her and when i hit her she fell on the floor and she fell

23:57on the floor i i started choking her and i stomped on her

24:09stephen havruka is released from the hospital and taken straight into custody

24:14he refuses to tell investigators anything else about that morning or why he chose to attack tina

24:21strater so the investigators have to piece together the events themselves we knew that she had been

24:28kicked in the face because we could see the shoe print and we couldn't find his shoes and we wanted

24:34to know if he had done any additional evidence so we did a canine track we actually did several of them

24:39in order to try to recover any of this potential evidence and that canine trek led us to the wooded

24:46area where we located some of his clothing and some narcotics by his own admission he said that he had

24:52ingested methamphetamine in those in those woods immediately after the murder once he's now high on

25:00meth he exits the wooded area and starts walking southbound on tamiami trail which is a very heavily traveled

25:06roadway it was either the day after or two days after we assisted in canvassing the neighborhood

25:14back behind where he walked down gentian trying to locate video surveillance at one home right behind

25:22where the roadway is located on gentian i found someone that did have video surveillance of him

25:29walking down the street investigators then catch a break when habroca's dna is discovered on tina's

25:37lanyard the only piece of evidence that we had both tina and habroca's dna on was her lanyard which

25:46was great for the case because she had obviously been wearing that at the time of the crime and then

25:51the rest of the items were all just her dna his room we didn't end up sending anything off for

26:01testing at that point we were very confident in the case that we had and were limited with the florida

26:06department of law enforcement on how many pieces of evidence we can send so we sent what we felt were

26:11the most important pieces for them to test detectives also interview havroca's family members to gain more

26:19insight into his character they stated he was a good kid when he's on drugs he's not the same person

26:27that he normally is they don't know what happened here but this is not normally who he is i know they're

26:35not a family of well means so i don't know how much they could actually help him out with

26:42him his mother his sister they tried getting him into several different you know out patient treatment

26:49programs none of them succeeded or he didn't qualify for his mom did tell us that around but

26:58she said between 9 and 9 30 the day of the murder that stephen texted her and it was just a very

27:04bizarre text that he was moonwalking and talk of rainbows and she said it made absolutely no sense and

27:10we found out that that was almost immediately after the murder

27:13while the sarasota sheriff's office builds their case against havroca they continued to try to talk

27:23to him detectives have a confession from steven havroca but still do not know his motive

27:31he flat out refused to talk to us approximately two or three weeks later happened to check my email

27:37and i was told that he wanted to talk to the detectives about this case

27:43so around lunchtime myself and detective patella went to the jail we went to the proper room at that

27:49time mr havroca was brought in by the deputies he was a very subdued state compared to what we had

27:56normally seen him in previously and then he decided he was going to tell us what happened

28:07april 2021 venice florida detectives are interviewing steven havroca for the murder of tina strater

28:20at the roadway inn motel

28:23we were told that you wanted to speak with us i just want to tell you all what happened okay i said

28:30i remember i was working out that night and uh i went to go try and have a drink and clear my head

28:36a few up uh places down at this wally's place but it was closed so i went back said all right that's

28:42fine uh went went got like a four pack of beer or something and just sat in there and and and and was

28:50just uh was kind of getting in my head which i'd been doing for a long time and it's a dangerous place

28:58well i went across the street to checkers and when i went across the street to checkers i

29:03you know it's just uh just the way the world is these days man and and there was somebody there

29:09who was talking about drugs and then i started using it and it's just i ended up staying in my hotel

29:16room for for a week i didn't really leave i'd come out i was paranoid and some of it had to do with

29:23some drug use but a lot of it was already there everything inside my head got more vivid and louder

29:29because i wasn't i was that's the only place i was at i had this this voice in my head this was

29:37telling me that i that i don't belong here that i belong i'm meant to go home and i'm from hell or

29:43something they just kept repeating over and over and over and over and over again to where i would

29:48actually believe them the last thing that i thought that i that this was heaven and that i was uh

29:56i was from hell and i don't belong here and i needed to go home to my family and the only way

30:01i could go home to my family is if i did what i did and i just went outside and and i just

30:10picked the first person that i seen i didn't i didn't really think about it i went out and looked in

30:18i went back in my room a few times trying to push it off telling myself that this is this is not

30:25you don't have to do it and then just voices came in my head and said this is the only way you're

30:30going to be able to go home and i just went and picked somebody and i'm right in i don't remember

30:39what number of room it was i ran in and went up to the right went in the room and

30:43i did what i did and i don't i don't really have the heart to go into detail to it right now

30:56i asked him why he had his shoes off because that was concern when we saw his shoes off of maybe he

31:02had committed a rape against her in there he said no he did not rape her he did not have any intention

31:06of raping her and he said that he took his shoes off because he didn't want to leave shoe marks on the

31:11floor as he was cleaning it in the room where he killed her we know you were in there for about

31:1814 minutes what was the 14 minutes i mean that's a long time because she wasn't gone yet

31:28i made the mistake when i went in i hit her and then i just grabbed her neck and i just i was joking

31:37there and then i started worrying about cleaning whatever up and i kept having to go back and keep

31:44cleaning stuff up because i was sweating really bad and i kept it was dripping on the floor so i kept

31:50trying to wipe it up i had to do that like three times

31:57he was ultimately charged with second degree murder had we found out that he had raped her we would have

32:03perhaps gone in a different direction but yes there was definitely discussion about that and about

32:08doing death penalty but we decided that second degree would be the best course

32:15there's some statutory requirements that we thought we would have the best chance of conviction as second

32:22degree but before the trial could take place had roca begins to engage in self-destructive activity within

32:30the trial could be in custody several times he actually tried committing suicide in the jail

32:42tried drowning himself in the toilet he tried starving himself he tried hanging himself at one

32:48point all of which were unsuccessful the deputies were able to intervene he was put in segregation

32:55because he couldn't be around anybody he would start fights he was just uncontrollable

33:04from all accounts from his psychological reports he just would not

33:08communicate with the psychologist or the psychiatrist or whomever was evaluating him

33:13he would sit off in a dark corner and cover himself with a blanket and refuse to participate in anything

33:18so the medical staff had him evaluated and during that evaluation they found him incompetent

33:30steven avroca is ruled mentally unsound and the trial is postponed indefinitely

33:37detectors are worried that there might never be justice for tina and her family

33:50i really felt that that was not right because he told us in the interview

33:54that he knew what he was doing although he had a different way of thinking

34:00he knew exactly what he was doing and the consequences for that

34:07i absolutely think it was a game because he was clearly able to articulate what he did and he

34:12articulated that multiple times to multiple different people he knew what he did was wrong he recognized

34:18that he was not a stupid person by any stretch of the imagination he had been so familiar with the

34:26court system throughout his life he understood what that system looked like and what trial looked

34:31like and how to communicate with his attorneys i know that is a common play that is used especially

34:37with him being a known drug user so i wasn't completely shocked to see that i was more shocked to see that

34:45they kept going back and forth feeling incompetent and then incompetent

34:48there was a lot of frustration from not only tina's husband but also from law enforcement because

35:00this is a man that they want to convict and they want to get behind bars and make sure that he is

35:05never on the streets again and for gerald it was a very emotional process there was no closure for him

35:14He wanted justice for Tina.

35:16He wanted this man to be put away behind bars.

35:21It was not unexpected that he would be ruled incompetent,

35:26but it wasn't what I'd hoped for.

35:28There's no justice for Tina, and there's no peace for me.

35:32I believe in the court system, and I have to

35:35because that's one of the choices I have.

35:44It is only in November 2023,

35:47two and a half years after the brutal murder of Tina Strader,

35:51that Stephen Havroka is finally found competent to stand trial.

35:57They went back and forth for years

35:59on whether or not he was going to be competent to stand trial.

36:02So when he finally was found competent,

36:04I think the third time back in 2023, it was great.

36:09In preparation for the trial,

36:11investigators also delved into Havroka's troubled past.

36:16He tells me all about his issues after prison.

36:20He said he got out of prison,

36:22and he said that he couldn't really find his way.

36:25He stated that he was looking forward

36:29to getting into weightlifting and exercising

36:34and wanted to be a trainer and become a better person,

36:39but he just could not follow through with it

36:42because of his mental health issues.

36:45He knew he had mental health issues.

36:48He said that he heard voices in his head all the time.

36:53He said that these voices told him to do bad things,

36:56and when he would work out, those voices would go away.

36:59Having known him basically since my career started

37:05to seeing where he was now,

37:07can't say I was completely shocked by it,

37:10but, yeah, it was pretty up there

37:12in far as the realm of craziness.

37:19He is covered.

37:21The top of his head, his face, neck, chest, back,

37:24everything in tattoos.

37:26Mainly, he got in prison.

37:27A lot of the tattoos

37:30are a neo-Nazi Aryan brotherhood realm of tattoos.

37:37He thinks that some of the symbols

37:40are religious and belief

37:43and not following those ideologies.

37:46That's his explanation of it.

37:50When he was ruled competent to stand trial,

37:53this was really a big moment for Gerald.

37:55It was a mix of emotions.

38:00On one hand, there is some relief

38:02that this trial is finally going to continue

38:05and going to move forward.

38:07But on the other hand,

38:08he continued to carry the grief

38:10and the sorrow of losing Tina,

38:11and that was something that weighed very heavily

38:13on his heart.

38:14You could tell it just in his voice

38:15and talking with him.

38:18Gerald didn't continue to live in the motel.

38:20Last times that I spoke with him

38:22and met with him,

38:23it was at a small home

38:25just a few miles away

38:27from where the murder had happened.

38:30Around Gerald's neck,

38:31he often carried a memory of Tina with him.

38:34He wore a necklace of her thumbprint.

38:37And that was something that he said

38:39was a part of Tina

38:40that would always remain with him forever.

38:42On the 3rd of February, 2025,

38:54Stephen Havroca changes his plea

38:56to guilty of second-degree murder.

38:58We found out just days

39:01before his actual sentencing,

39:03so I was surprised

39:05that we were finally going to be coming

39:06to our resolution,

39:08and I was very happy at the same time.

39:11I was in the room,

39:12and he didn't recognize me,

39:15but it was very satisfying

39:16to finally get him to tell a judge,

39:23this is what I did,

39:25just like he told us.

39:28He told the judge

39:31that he was responsible for her death.

39:36He didn't really express

39:37any type of remorse.

39:39I know that the state attorney

39:41read a victim impact statement

39:43from Tina's daughter,

39:44and, yeah,

39:46he didn't offer any type of apologies,

39:49just admitted that he did it,

39:50and that was kind of

39:51the end of his story.

39:54He was sentenced to two life sentences,

39:56and that included some of the offenses

39:58that he had committed

39:58while he was in jail.

40:04I'd say the stars

40:05kind of aligned on this case.

40:07If we didn't get him right then,

40:10like I said,

40:10that's a very robust

40:12residential community.

40:14Who knows if he did a home invasion,

40:17what else he had on his mind.

40:19You had a very evil man

40:25commit an extremely evil act

40:27for no reason,

40:29and you had a victim

40:30that was just in the wrong place

40:33at the wrong time,

40:34and there was no other reason

40:35for it other than that.

40:39We now have an animal

40:41that's off of the streets.

40:43He's not going to be able

40:43to hurt anybody anymore,

40:44but Tina's family

40:46will forever

40:46be suffering with this.

40:53So one of the hard things

40:54in all of this story,

40:55which remains so tragic,

40:57is Gerald wasn't even here

40:59for the sentencing.

41:01He had ultimately passed away,

41:03and he wasn't here

41:04to receive the justice

41:05and to learn the justice for Tina

41:07that he had so wanted.
