00:18The Narrow River Killing refers to the brutal murder of Paul Sparling.
00:24Fellow student Shane Martin was arrested for first-degree murder,
00:27though it was widely believed his classmate Oliver St. Ledger was responsible for the crime.
00:34When I was in high school, a kid drowned.
00:36I was involved.
00:38Paul just attacked Shane.
00:40Shane just kept on pushing Paul's head underwater.
00:44You're a fucking liar.
00:45Ciara, what are you talking about?
00:47Don't follow me!
00:48Did you forget the restraining order, Shiloh?
00:51You need to get Oliver St. Ledger away from my family.
00:53I don't know what you're talking about.
00:54Oliver St. Ledger is living with my little sister.
00:58Megan?
00:59What the fuck, Shiloh?
01:01I'm going to help you get rid of him.
01:03I'm gonna take care of it.
01:04No, you.
01:05Shiloh, I need you to trust me that I'm gonna handle this on my own.
01:09Oliver, are you there?
01:10This woman, Ciara, is not who you think she is.
01:14It's Megan Martin. She's Shane's sister.
01:17It's okay, Dan. He knows.
01:34Anything they started off fighting about, he can bring it back to that.
01:37I mean, this time, it's about how my mom never puts gas in the car, and he always has to
01:41do it when he's already late.
01:43You know, and somehow he brings it back to how my school wants me to apply to all these private,
01:46out-of-state D1 colleges for lacrosse.
01:48And it makes him look like the bad guy, because he can't afford anything.
01:51Shane, I mean, your dad is the Kevin Garnett of talking shit about Bridgefield.
01:57You know, and also there's such thing as lacrosse scholarships.
01:59Ivies don't have athletic scholarships, and nowhere else is gonna be a four-ride.
02:03Whatever. I mean, talking about why all these schools are no-goes also pisses them off.
02:07I mean, you're so lucky.
02:08Yeah, I know you think so.
02:10I'm not even talking about being able to afford Stanford.
02:13Being able to afford to buy Stanford and rename it after yourself.
02:16St. Ledger University.
02:18Hey, shut up. Shut up, dude, please.
02:20I'm talking about not having to listen to your parents screaming at each other every five minutes
02:25over something you can't change, and neither can they.
02:27Well, I mean, to want to argue about shit, you kind of gotta care about it.
02:31You know? It's not that difficult.
02:33Well, I mean, any time mine won't stop caring so much, that would be great.
02:36But they won't, because they can't live unless they're up my ass.
02:39My sister can't either. I mean, Shiloh moved to fucking Pawtucket.
02:42She's still trying to be my boss.
02:44What I would give.
02:45Here we go.
02:46To be you for one day. Just one. Just to try it. Just to see.
02:50Not even for the money. Just for the, like, silence.
02:59That guy might have told Paul we would be here.
03:01Whatever. He's not a bad guy if you give him a chance.
03:03No, you say that every single time.
03:06He's just insecure.
03:07Yeah, I promise. If you hang in there, it eventually stops being such a dick.
03:11Prove it.
03:12What does that even mean?
03:13What's up, fuckheads?
03:18You gonna be okay? What's up?
03:19What's up as I fucking ran here?
03:21You're kidding. From Bridgefield?
03:23Yeah, that's right, shithead.
03:24Wow.
03:25I mean, I know Coach said you need to do more cardio, but damn.
03:31You guys are so into this place.
03:33And it was cool for, like, you know, five minutes in middle school.
03:37Jesus.
03:39And don't you literally have, like, a massive house with a fucking helipad?
03:44There's no helipad.
03:45Why would anybody want to hang out here instead of there?
03:47Your dad have, like, no peasant rule or something?
03:51Oh, because I'm a peasant, right? A scholarship peasant?
03:53Yeah, I've been in it.
03:54Has your dad even lived in that house before?
03:56Like, uh, even when you were a baby?
04:00Because my dad says your dad hasn't been back to Narragansett since, like, the 90s.
04:04How would your dad even know that?
04:05Well, he's in global finance too, dude.
04:07People talk to each other. It's a network.
04:09Who cares?
04:10All these houses fucking freezing and none of the furniture is comfortable, okay?
04:14Yeah.
04:16What the...
04:17Are you fucking kidding me? There's mosquitoes now?
04:19Come on.
04:21Is your mom in town? Is that why we can't go to your house?
04:23What's your fucking deal, dude?
04:24Uh, it's buggy and clammy here and it doesn't not smell like pee.
04:28Uh, you have a house too, dipshit?
04:30Yeah, well, they're selling it.
04:33Because the whole divorce is my dad punishing my mom for getting mad at him for cheating, so...
04:40That's hard.
04:42I'm really sorry.
04:46Thanks.
04:49Hey, how is your mom doing?
04:50Shittily.
04:51Why?
04:52Just sucks, that's all.
04:55Makes total sense why she'd be having a tough time with everything.
04:58Yeah.
05:00Makes total sense your mom would be running her mouth again about someone she barely fucking knows.
05:04Fuck you, she knows her.
05:06Yeah, from sidelines and sport banquets, but not really.
05:08What are you even talking about?
05:09You just seem like you know something, Shane, so you tell me.
05:12Your mom's the one saying shit she heard from somebody who heard it from somebody like it's fucking real.
05:16She saw it in the paper.
05:17Who reads the local news?
05:19No one.
05:20When NPD arrests someone, it's always in the local police blotter.
05:23I'm not saying it should be, but...
05:24She didn't think she was gonna need a basket, and then she had too many things in her hands, so
05:28she was gonna go get one.
05:29I mean, she didn't even leave the fucking store, and now everybody thinks she's a fucking thief.
05:40You know what, I'm sorry.
05:42Yeah, I'm sorry too.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I'm sorry your mom's a bitch who won't shut the fuck up.
05:47Fuck the...
05:50Man, what's your fucking problem?
05:51Fuck!
05:55Hey, guys!
05:56Fucking bitch!
05:57Guys!
05:59Fucking...

12:17Hello?
12:18Can anyone hear us?
12:20Gretchen and Kenji, if you're on, get off.
12:24So what's so cloak and dagger?
12:26I killed someone.
12:27What?
12:30Who?
12:35Paul.
12:38Paul Sparling.
12:40You're sure he's dead?
12:50Yeah.
12:52We were at the Narrows.
12:55Who's we?
12:58Me, Shane, Martin, and Paul.
13:01Who else?
13:02It was just us.
13:05Okay.
13:06Stop talking.
13:08I need to think.
13:18Oliver.
13:19I'm Detective Sheehan.
13:21My lieutenant's just getting off a call, but we can start in here.
13:24This being recorded, Jerry?
13:26About a custodial interrogation, so I want to make some notes, but first things first.
13:32Your lawyer here, Mr. Sykes, he filled me in a little bit on what happened.
13:36But obviously, I want to hear from you.
13:38Can you tell me about it?
13:40Just start wherever you're comfortable.
13:42If I have any questions, I'll ask you.
13:48Yeah, I was, um, I was home.
13:52And I'd been studying all night because I had a midterm coming up, and I didn't really understand
13:57the material.
13:59But I, uh, I forgot to eat.
14:02So, uh, after a little while, like, I got a headache, and, um, I set an alarm for early
14:09so I can, uh, wake up and do some more in the morning.
14:13But then I, uh, I woke up, um, because someone was, um, was, uh, buzzing to be let in.
14:23And who was that?
14:26Um, that was, uh, Shane, Shane Martin.
14:31Shane Martin, okay.
14:34And this was what time?
14:37This was around midnight.
14:41Last chance.
14:42No idea.
14:43You have no idea?
14:45No.
14:46You can't think of a single thing happening they might want to talk to you about?
14:49Right, and I don't buy it, is why I keep asking, because I want to have some idea of what
14:53kind
14:53of buzzsaw we're about to walk into.
14:55You knock out some more streetlights or steal some shit your buddies think is nothing, but
14:59to regular people means real money.
15:01God, like, you and your friends never gotten into anything stupid before.
15:04Except, you know what, no one at your school ever got into an Ivy League college.
15:07Probably doesn't even know what one is.
15:08Oh, shh.
15:10So Shane's going to the Ivy League now.
15:12Wow.
15:13Really?
15:13Well, when were you guys going to tell me that?
15:15After we talked to the cops, I guess?
15:17Could you have a little faith in your son, please?
15:19Could we just...
15:19Because I have no faith in my son, right?
15:22So you're on with that whole narrative again that I have no faith in my son?
15:25He could have a better future.
15:32He could have a...
15:32Jeff.
15:34Hey, great to see you.
15:36Fabulous.
15:37You're good, too.
15:38You're bad.
15:39Listen, I want you to tell your father and sister.
15:41I see you.
15:42I'm going to put the nail.
15:44What is it?
15:45I'm out of here.
15:46I'm out of here.
15:46I'm out of here.
15:47I'm out of here.
15:48Stop!
15:49What up?
15:50Hey!
15:50Hey!
15:51Hey!
15:52Bring it now!
15:54Stop it!
15:55Hold on!
15:56Stop!
15:56Come on!
15:56Get easy!
15:58Stop it!
15:59Get out of here!
16:00What are you doing?
16:00Where are you doing?
16:01Get back inside.
16:05I don't know.
16:57I don't know.
17:02I don't know.
17:35You're kind of close there, Otis.
17:38Hey, Almer.
17:39A little bit.
17:39Seven minutes till morning announcements.
17:43If I had that car, I'd probably want to hang out in it all day, too.
17:46But you're about to get one demerit for being late and another for ignoring me to my fate.
17:50Oh, my God.
17:51Are you all right?
17:52Hey, Oliver, can you open the door?
17:54Jesus.
17:54Where's my...
17:55Where's my...
17:55We can need to call 911.
17:57Please, please, please.
17:58No, please don't.
18:01Please.
18:03I still think we should at least go to urgent care.
18:05I feel way better now.
18:08I really do.
18:08All right.
18:10Still, an hour ago, you were passing out in your car.
18:17Uh, amoxicillin.
18:19Here.
18:21Take two.
18:22Or maybe four.
18:25Why do you just have these?
18:26Dog bite.
18:28In the stop-and-shop parking lot?
18:30Yeah.
18:31Apparently, different tail waggings have different meanings.
18:33I thought a dog wagging its tail always means friendly.
18:36It does not.
18:39Yeah, I thought that, too.
18:40Yeah, well, now we both know better.
18:52Hey, what about your mom?
18:54What if we called her?
18:55No, I think it's, uh, I think it's 12 hours ahead there.
18:58Well, still wouldn't be past 11 p.m.
18:59I don't think that there's reception.
19:01There's gonna be reception at a resort.
19:03Uh, she's off the coast.
19:04It's her friend's boat.
19:06Um, and the school knows.
19:07She told them.
19:08I'm gonna have them mark you an excused absence.
19:11I'll say, I saw you, and I sent you home sick.
19:14It's not even a lie.
19:18And I'll leave you the amoxicillin.
19:20Take a couple more tonight.
19:22Look, look, I know.
19:26You're good friends with Shane and Paul.
19:29I know you're having a hard time right now.
19:32I wish you weren't having it alone.
19:34Go easy on yourself, okay?
19:37Understand that...
19:39Something terrible has happened to you, too.
19:44Try to give yourself a little grace.
19:53Uh, wait, uh, uh, please, wait.
20:01And you're what again?
20:02Uh, guidance counselor?
20:04School counselor.
20:05What kind of background is a school counselor supposed to have in this kind of thing?
20:09Well, I'm actually a licensed independent clinical social worker.
20:13But I'm working towards getting licensed in Rhode Island as a clinical mental health counselor.
20:19And what makes you think my son needs your help?
20:22Uh, I'm not saying it has to be me.
20:29But, from the amount of detail Oliver gave me about his present headspace and what led to it, he's gonna
20:38need therapy from someone.
20:40And what amount of detail would that be, exactly?
20:45Clinically.
20:47Enough.
20:49Enough for what?
20:53It's enough to know what really happened.
20:57Every time I think there's nothing left that can surprise me, I'll put you in touch with my personal accountant.
21:13Mom?
21:16Yeah.
21:21Do you want tea?
21:25No.
21:33I understand this may be weird at first.
21:40It's okay. You do this too.
21:42You know, you see people outside of school.
21:45My real-life goal was always this.
21:49So I'm your first patient?
21:53Yeah, you kind of are.
21:58Don't you have to be able to come clean?
22:03Tell the truth, you know, be honest.
22:09What are you saying? You haven't been honest with me?
22:12You didn't tell me the truth?
22:15Of course I have. Yes, I did.
22:19Okay then.
22:21It's gonna work.
22:23Hey, it's already working.
22:40Hey, it's gonna work.
22:48Hey, it's gonna work.
22:52Hey, it's gonna work.
22:52Hey, it's gonna work.
22:52Hey, it's gonna work.
22:52Hey, it's gonna work.
22:53Hey, it's gonna work.
22:53Hey, it's gonna work.
22:53Hey, it's gonna work.
22:55Hey, it's gonna work.
22:55Hey, it's gonna work.
22:56Hey, it's gonna work.
22:57Hey, it's gonna work.
22:58Hey, it's gonna work.
23:01Hey, it's gonna work.
23:20No, Shyla, you want to meet us at the crib?
23:23No, I can't.
23:23Do a shooter for me.
23:29Hello?
23:30Hey, McGaggy.
23:31Hi, Shy.
23:33Hello?
23:34It's not Shane, Mom.
23:36Don't tie up the phone.
23:39She just talked to him yesterday, didn't she?
23:41They're not going to let him call her again today.
23:43I doubt she knows what day it is.
23:46When are you coming home?
23:4820 minutes.
23:49I'm leaving work right now.
23:50Just do us all a favor and stay out of her way, okay?
23:55Okay.
23:59You all packed?
24:01You travel Tuesday, right?
24:03Well, like, orientation's probably going to be pretty hectic.
24:08A lot of new people, new living situation.
24:16What?
24:17What are you thinking right now?
24:22That you were right.
24:24That I might not be ready right now to go to Stanford.
24:33That I can't.
24:36Have you talked about any of this with your dad?
24:48You need to call him and tell him.
24:59I can't.
25:01You want me to do it.
25:03You want me to do it?
25:05Please.
25:05Yes.
25:07Okay.
25:11Oliver St. Ledger, he dropped my brother off at our house in his car.
25:15Are you aware Mr. St. Ledger says he did not see your brother after school until Shane came to his
25:20house after midnight?
25:22Yes, I am, but it's not true.
25:23What the hell are you doing?
25:25Are you playing at trial or something?
25:28Is it supposed to be funny?
25:30No.
25:30Because it isn't.
25:32I know.
25:33I did see him.
25:36Shane didn't come right home after practice.
25:38He didn't come home until later.
25:39And when he did, I saw him.
25:43I saw him getting out of Oliver's car.
25:45I can't believe you're doing this right now.
25:46I cannot believe you can't see how wrong it is for you to do this right now.
25:51It's not like that.
25:52It's really true.
25:53It's never like that.
25:54Right?
25:56Like when your teacher kicked you.
25:58Like when the woman in the stop and shop tried to kidnap you.
26:00It's never about you wanting attention.
26:02It's always true.
26:03The jury is deciding right now, Megan.
26:07Remember?
26:07Remember, they're all sitting in a room talking about whether they're going to send your brother
26:13to prison for life.
26:18Now, I'm sorry that we are all so terrified of that, that we can't put our attention on you.
26:23I'm sorry that this is the worst fucking thing that's ever happened in the world, and you
26:27still have to make it about you.
26:41The people of the state of Rhode Island versus Shane Martin.
26:45Verdict, count one, voluntary manslaughter.
26:49We, the jury, find the defendant guilty.
27:07Six minutes, 11 seconds, actually.
27:12Very good for my age, huh?
27:14Anybody's age.
27:16Three minutes, sir.
27:17What were you last time you were in the pool?
27:21Uh, 317.
27:22The fuck?
27:23You're going backwards now.
27:26Are you even practicing?
27:29I'm not really sleeping lately since the verdict
27:40I get it all the more reason to stay disciplined
27:45here's the thing practice you have to do it every day
27:49you're staying on it right grow your capacity
27:52your number grows like anything just keep at it let me know
28:06sometimes I just feel like I have to call Shane
28:09but that's stupid because you can't call
28:12no you can't call
28:15I try to go see him to be put on his visitors list or whatever
28:24when um when did you do this
28:28I don't know a month ago
28:31they said he said no
28:34oh wow
28:37that's understandable too though right
28:42if he said yes
28:44so I try to write it in a letter
28:51I am disappointed
28:53he didn't feel like this was something you could talk over with me first
28:57it felt like I could I could start with this
29:04uh but then but then I felt like if I send it is he even gonna open it
29:14and if he doesn't open it then maybe sending it at all is still the point
29:21I don't I don't know
29:23okay okay what about this
29:27Shane knows me from school
29:30what if I has to be put on his visitors list
29:33you know I don't say why
29:36but I take that with me
29:39and I read it
29:42out loud
29:43and whatever happens next is up to him
29:55I'm just sorry I couldn't make myself do it before
30:00and I know it won't make me a good person to do the right thing now
30:03but still
30:06I'm gonna fix everything
30:10I promise
30:18you look a little
30:19yeah
30:19the food's pretty bad here
30:21yeah
30:21they serve it at weird times
30:22whatever
30:25I don't know why I didn't think you'd actually come
30:27I don't know why it took me so long to ask
30:29I mean we didn't ever talk all that much in school so
30:34I'm not saying that for like blame
30:35no I know you're not
30:36it just doesn't reflect very well on me though
30:41so can I ask how you are
30:48I'm so sorry about all of this
30:51it's just it's really terrible
30:54yeah
30:55that's pretty terrible
30:56yeah
31:00in full disclosure
31:01and I know I should have said this up front
31:03when I first asked to come see you
31:05are you gonna try and write a book
31:06or something
31:07oh
31:08uh
31:10no
31:13I'm working with Oliver
31:18working with him how
31:19just counseling him
31:21as his therapist
31:24so you're with him then
31:26yeah I wouldn't let him in
31:27so he sent you
31:29no
31:31although
31:32obviously
31:32that's a very
31:34logical first question to ask
31:35what does he need therapy for
31:36huh
31:38does he feel bad for what he did
31:39actually yeah
31:40he does
31:41which part
31:43killing Paul
31:43or killing me
31:47I understand
31:48I understand
31:48it must feel
31:50unbelievable
31:50what must
31:51I don't know
31:54how the world
31:56just still turning
31:59like you were never even in it
32:03like all I am
32:05is this thing I didn't do
32:06you mean
32:08all because I was stupid
32:09and tried to help my friend
32:12do you guys talk about that
32:14in your little fucking therapy sessions
32:17what he did to me for trying to help him
32:20because if anything else
32:21you're just another person getting paid
32:22to listen to him lie
32:25Shane
32:27it doesn't matter
32:28what Oliver's told me
32:29my job isn't to judge
32:31what the truth is
32:33and I wouldn't be in charge of anything
32:35even if it was
32:37it's more that
32:38his pain
32:39has made me think about
32:41yours
32:42and how
32:43I just
32:44I can't imagine
32:45what you're going through
32:45or the strength
32:47I know you'll need to find
32:49for what
32:51I have strength
32:52I know you do
32:53see I remember that about you
32:54like you said
32:55we didn't talk much
32:56but still I could tell
32:57you had character
32:59integrity
33:00that
33:01those things matter to you
33:07just
33:11before I came to Bridgefield
33:12I was a social worker
33:14this was in Connecticut
33:16and a lot of my clients
33:17were in your situation
33:19with public defenders
33:20who were no match
33:21for white shoes
33:22man
33:23one of my clients
33:26Dawn
33:28her husband was doing
33:2915 to life
33:30in McDougal
33:32Dave had a carpet
33:33laying business
33:34with his cousin
33:34and the cousin
33:35had a shady side thing
33:37where a guy ended up
33:38getting killed
33:38over money
33:39and the cousin
33:39took a plea
33:41saying it was all Dave
33:45and Dave just thought
33:47he didn't do it
33:48and that would prevail
33:52he did not stop
33:54his frustration
33:55and rage
33:55from getting him
33:56into situations
33:57that just added
33:57more years to his sentence
34:00or how to live
34:01knowing he was only
34:03in prison in the first place
34:04off a lie
34:05from someone he trusted
34:08and compared to you
34:11he was lucky
34:14he wasn't up against people
34:16with enough money
34:17to make the world
34:18exactly the way
34:19they want it
34:25so what happened
34:26to Dave
34:28is he still in prison
34:31no
34:34when did he get parole
34:38he did
34:41I'm not gonna
34:42go into details
34:44if it's okay
34:45just out of respect
34:47I'm just never
34:48never gonna forget
34:49that phone call
34:54there was one
34:55tiny silver lining
34:56craziest that is to say
34:58Dave's family
35:00didn't think so
35:00but I know Dave
35:01would have
35:03there's something called
35:04the doctrine of abatement
35:06look
35:07if you're convicted
35:08at trial
35:08even for murder
35:09and you die in prison
35:10before all your appeals
35:11are exhausted
35:12your convictions
35:13automatically set aside
35:14and your
35:15indictment is dismissed
35:16like it never even happened
35:20when he died
35:21because he died
35:22as far as law
35:24and the world
35:24were concerned
35:26Dave was an innocent man
35:33hey
35:34finally no line

36:13okay
36:18it's terrible
36:18it's a terrible thing
36:20it's hard to think about
36:22the kind of desperation
36:23behind a choice like dad
36:26makes you think about
36:27all your own choices
36:28in life right

37:29high
37:32do we have a
37:33what the fuck did you say to my brother
37:35excuse me
37:36to show up out of nowhere
37:37get in his mind
37:38say who the fuck knows what
37:39until suddenly he thinks
37:40he has no way out
37:41oh my god
37:45can i just
37:47i was so sorry
37:49when I heard what happened.
37:50Why were you even there, hmm?
37:52You didn't exist for Shane at school,
37:53and I know that, he never mentioned you once.
37:55To be fair, seeing the counselor
37:58is not always gonna be something
38:00the student talks about at home, right?
38:02You're telling me he fucking came to see you?
38:05HIPAA requirements say I can't tell you anything,
38:08I'm sorry, but whether he did or didn't,
38:12with the student body of 600 kids
38:14being generally aware of all of them
38:17and their various struggles, yeah.
38:22That was my job.
38:24Why'd you go to the prison?
38:27To offer my support, emotional support.
38:28No, I want to know what kind of apocalyptic shit
38:30you said to him.
38:32Besides that fucking Oliver St. Leger sees you for therapy,
38:34which is, I just don't really know how to wrap my mind
38:36around that, actually.
38:37So he told you that, but he didn't tell you
38:38what else we talked about?
38:39Okay, he's figuring things out,
38:40he's taking fucking classes, and then here you are,
38:43and a month later, he kills himself.
38:47And you think talking to me had something to do with that?
38:51I do.
38:52And I think I have a lot of questions
38:53that I'm gonna ask to whoever's responsible
38:55for you having a license to talk to anybody, okay,
38:57so just know that's what's gonna be happening.
39:00Well, then maybe also ask them
39:01if they think someone without a baseline
39:02of mental instability and a history of emotional detachment
39:05at the home can be goaded into suicide
39:07by one casual conversation
39:09with a sympathetic relative stranger.
39:14Oh, this is such an awful thing.
39:17Look, I understand needing to explain it away somehow,
39:22but when an already mentally vulnerable person
39:25is put into such a challenging environment
39:28at an age where they're still struggling with coping skills
39:32and with the idea that the future even exists,
39:35not to mention a support system at home
39:37that just isn't up to the task in a real way.
39:39Ah!
39:41Oh, Jesus.
39:42Fuck!
39:48So, as soon as court opens tomorrow,
39:51I'm gonna file a temporary ex parte order of protection
39:54against you.
39:55And just to make it final...
39:57Fuck you!
39:57I'm okay!
40:11Did Mom go to sleep?
40:14She went to her room.
40:15Sure, she's not sleeping.
40:17Nobody sleeps in this house.
40:18Obviously.
40:29Okay, talk show, old movie, infomercial...
40:33Where do you think Shane is now?
40:36Shit.
40:38I'm gonna need a drink or 10 for that conversation.
40:41Megan, I don't want to talk about heaven or whatever, okay?
40:45Because you don't think he's...
40:46If there is a place he is,
40:48I hope that everything makes sense to him.
40:51That he doesn't hurt anymore.
40:53Okay?
40:55Me too.
40:57Also, I wish it was a place like that for Mom to go.
41:03Yeah, I mean, Mom's still alive,
41:05but I get what you're saying.
41:10I saw him that night.
41:13What does that mean?
41:17Mom and Dad went to Holy Spirit Pris Bingo,
41:19and he was supposed to come home after practice
41:22and make dinner.
41:23He was supposed to come home after practice,
41:24but he didn't.
41:26So I made it.
41:28And I saw him get dropped off...
41:32by a car that I saw.
41:36Whose car it was.
41:40Okay, well, did Shane know this?
41:43Yes.
41:44When?
41:46Right when he came inside.
41:47Okay, and what did he say?
41:49He said he was home the whole time.
41:50And he never asked you to say anything later to anybody, ever?
41:56He thought he would.
41:59He was waiting, but he never did.
42:05Why didn't he want me to?
42:09You know what, maybe he was...
42:12afraid.
42:13Yeah.
42:13of you bringing Oliver into it,
42:16and of Oliver's family.
42:18Of what they might do to us, to you.
42:20I mean, who knows?
42:23With people who can be...
42:25what they are.
42:28You feel guilty for not saying...
42:33don't.
42:34Okay?
42:36It wouldn't have made any difference.
42:37It still would have all happened the exact same way,
42:41and you couldn't have stopped it.
42:42So please, please...
42:45don't let it de-brail your life.
42:50Okay?
42:51Come here.
42:52Come here.
42:53Come here.
42:57Come here.
42:58Come here.
42:58Come here.
42:58Come here.
42:59Come here.
42:59Come here.
43:00Come here.
43:00Come here.
43:04Come here.
43:05Come here.
43:06Come here.
43:07Come here.
43:21Ms. Martin?
43:23One of them.
43:26Which one are you?
43:29Shiloh.
43:30Is your mom Christy?
43:31Is she here too?
43:32She's not here at the moment.
43:34Now, you live here?
43:35With her?
43:36Rub it in.
43:37why don't you? So, uh, you're Shane's sister. Hey, can I ask a question? Yes, we are here
43:44to ask people questions about a guy named Oliver St. Ledger. Specifically about the possible
43:50revenge killing of a guy named Oliver St. Ledger. We spoke to Annette Sparling. She gave us your
43:55address. Does your sister live here, too? Megan or Ciara Wise? Which one do you call her?
44:04Look, I don't know where Megan lives, okay? I don't even know where she is. Or if she's ever coming
44:12back.
44:31Okay. I've just been sitting here watching you breathe. You're Megan? You're Shane's sister.
44:49Yeah. The day that Paul Sparling died, I saw you. And I knew that you were lying.
45:08But I was no one compared to you and your family. And there was nothing that I could do.
45:20And it just kept spinning out of control my whole life. Even so many years later, spinning
45:27out of control. And I wanted to hurt you. I really, really wanted to hurt you. And so
45:39I made a plan. But then I started to know you. And I saw how lonely you were. That I
45:53didn't
45:53need to do anything to ruin your life. I didn't need to do anything to ruin your life because
45:55you were doing that on your own.
46:02I really wanted to tell you the truth. I had so many opportunities to tell you the truth
46:09that I didn't. I'm sorry. I am sorry. He was my best friend. And your brother, he didn't
46:30deserve that. Your brother didn't do anything to you. It was me.
46:41I know that. I knew that. Thank you for saying that. Because I think I really needed you to
46:57say that to me. And I'm so in love with you. I'm so in love with you. Yeah. Yeah.
47:39I can't say that. I am surprised that you're a Tom Petty fan. But if I hear another Tom Petty
47:43song in the next million years, it'll be too fucking soon. When was Tom Petty bothering
47:48you? When I was driving and you were sleeping? Or when I was driving and you were sleeping?
47:56So do we think Meghan Martin, slash Sierra Wise, is somewhere in the world with or without
48:04Oliver Kennedy? Yeah, we all know that. I said we think, not we know. But you do agree
48:13that that's the first road we should go down for? Okay, yeah, it's the first road, but it's
48:17not the only one.
48:25What?
48:27What?
48:28What?
48:30What?
