Something this weird. She became the key. Would she also become the next victim . She was scared to death to confirm him. She knew what he was capable of. And thus she was terrified . And thus she was terrified. Hello and welcome to dateline. Trent dajero was a force on the football field, popular and fiercely loyal to his wide circle of friends. Then late one night the charming athlete was shot dead. His killer left few clues, and the case sat cold, until someone came forward with a stunning secret. What police asked the tipster to do next would make her a target. How much would she risk to right a wrong . Heres Keith Morrison with the motive. Her heart was on fire. Lost to her, the canned music, the hum of other voices in the bar. There was only him. They were in the deep end now, and as lovers in the flesch of new commitment sometimes do, they confess their sins of the abandoned past, the worst things they had ever done. Words, just words. Best forgotten until they could no longer be ignored. Lexington, kentucky, one year before that night in the bar. A house where students lived. And the music and laughter and chatter of a Birthday Party swelled and ebbed and drifted in and out of the evening air. It wasnt a huge party. It was just a lowkey party with some good friends. They were about to be seniors. The young men who rented the place who hosted the party. We had as group of guys, four guys that got along extremely well. They were big men on campus. They played football. The university of kentuckys beloved wild cats. Antonio ofarrell was a quarterback. In lexington, kentucky, if you play for the cats, youre pretty much a well known ent it. The birthday boy, 21 years old, was a true rarity. A wild cats walk on. He had no scholarship, no invitation. He just showed up, tried out for the team. Go and over three years of hard work he earned a starting position. Here we go trent diguiro, gentle giant. Everybody called him a big teddy bear. He was the great protector of all of our friends. The party was sweet and formal. Friends snapped pictures and evening dawdled into night. It was after midnight when the party wound down. I think we turned in somewhere between 12 30, 1 00. Antonio and his girlfriend went to bed. Outside trent and some of the others settled under the light on the front porch. Out there, beyond the street lights, was impenetrable dark. Inside we were already in a faint sleep and we heard a loud bang. One of them must have slammed the screen door, but no. Within 10 seconds you started to hear the chaos outside, the screaming, the yelling, the crying. And there was trent, slumped to one side in his chair under the light. Trent was bleeding out of his ears and his eyes and his nose and his mouth, and it was it was a horrific scene. Horrific and confusing. That loud bang had been a gunshot, but from where . Somewhere out there in the dark . Had someone intentionally fired a gun at their gentle giant, their teddy bear . In their panic and distress, they did not understand, how could they . The nature of the mystery launched here, or who . In the haze of love may have learned the answer. It was just so senseless. Once you found out why, it was even worse. Just who was trent dugiuro, the target . We were hanging out since six years old. They were his lifelong friends. If you were his friend you were his friend. It didnt matter. Everybody was treated the same. Trent was in fourth grade when he started playing football in his hometown of goshen, kentucky, just out side louisville. By high school he was captain of the team, had lots of friends. So popular, trent was home coming king. Shara lee his queen. He was pretty special to be part of that, to be voted as that, especially with trent. When it came time for college, trent set his sights high. He turned down Football Scholarships to smaller schools. At one point he says, you know what, i just got to know if i can play in the big time. At a division 1 school. Mike dugiuro is trents dad. He went to the northeast conference, as big as they come. He worked real hard to get to where he was. And trents teammates saw that hard work. Trent had the ability to perform, so while he might have been a walkon, his performance allowed him to endear himself to others very quickly. That july as trent practiced football and prepared for his senior year, his parents went to lexington to see him and to talk about his future. He was trying to decide what he wanted to do with his life. He was talking about maybe going to law school or business school. Did he talk about his Birthday Celebration . We knew he was going to have some kind of thing and he was supposed to come home the next day to celebrate his birthday with us. And never made it. No, and the creeping fear washed over the university of kentucky Football Team. Was the killer targeting them . And if so, who would be next . Coming up. I couldnt even believe it. Didnt understand it. Who would murder somebody so wonderful . The investigation begins. Everyone talked, but they didnt see anything. And was there more terror to come . We were so nervous driving down the street at practice, thinking that there might be someone in the woods who wants to take you out. When dateline continues. The wind in your hair.

His friends stared out with anticipating horror. There was concern of more to come. That was one shot. Is there someone who is going to shoot again . Trent was officially pronounced dead at 3 00 a. M. , just about the time dawn evans arrived. Evans is retired now, but was a rookie detective back then. This was his first homicide case. What did you find when you got here . There were three young men in this yard and they looked distraught and they were consoling each other. On the porch trents chair was turned over, and evans could see blood and debris left by the ambulance crew. What was your first idea what appeared to have happened here . When i first walked up, i went with what appeared to be the obvious, that someone had simply walked from the side of the house, fired the shot, and then exited back toward the rear of the house. This is almost like an alley here. It would provide concealment. A surprise. If someone was going to take a shot, that made the most sense. Believing the shot came from a hand gun, police looked for shell casings, and yet for all they looked, there were none. Nor any other evidence. Still, detective evans figured there was a party that night, so there were bound to be people who saw something. My thought was as soon as i get them to headquarters and get them separated, someone is going to tell me what happened. Did they talk . Everyone talked, but with each and every person that i talked to, they didnt see anything. 80 miles away at 5 00 a. M. , the digiuros phone rang. Its numbing. Its hard to imagine the feeling. Suddenly your life doesnt make sense any more. It absolutely stops and pivots in an instant. And then it was kind of, you know, now what . And soon everybody knew. I couldnt even believe it. Couldnt understand it. Who would murder somebody so wonderful . It was about then that the first really useful evidence came back from the medical examiner. Bullet fragments were recovered in the autopsy, and the ballistics showed it wasnt a hand gun at all that killed trent. It was a rifle, which turned detective evans first theory upside down. The theory of walking up the side of the house thats out the window. Thats out the win zoe. A rifle isnt designed for a closerange shot. The woman who lived across the street said she awoke to a loud noise, and it sounded like it was right outside her house. So based on that we actually took one of our marks men from the Police Department and asked him, could the shot be made from here, from this angle . And we literally reenacted that possibility. Did it make sense, the location you found . It did make sense. We didnt eliminate the possibility that Something Else could occur, but this looked pretty strong to us. So, a working theory, that trent was shot from across the street. Ballistics suggested it was a rifle with a particular and uncommon type of barrel. But who owned it . Why did he or she shoot trent . No idea. The Football Team entered a world of dread, wi. Was some hater targeting the team . Was one of them next . We were so nervous. We were so uncertain of what happened that night that it affected our daily lives. Driving down the street. At practice thinking that there might be someone in the woods who wanted to take you out. But days and weeks and months went by. Nothing happened. And over time, the fear eroded. But the investigation went nowhere. Did you ever get to the place where you thought, well just have to live with this uncertainty for the rest of our lives . I would say four years into it, its like doesnt make any difference. Yeah, it couldnt bring him back. Its not going to bring trent back, but still, why did this happen . Youre four years in, five years in, and really no closer to solving it than from first case. Day one. That will make you doubt yourself. And then one day a particular woman happened to see an anniversary story about the unsolved murder of the Football Player back in kentucky. A woman who once sat in a bar in a fog of love, and now was quite terrified. A break in the case from out of the blue. An exlover reveals all, including a motive for murder almost too absurd to believe. Coming up. This could be the reason that we never could find out why trent was killed. It was because of something this weird . When dateline continues. Le, keep being you. And ask your doctor about biktarvy.

It wasnt as if a successful investigation could somehow undo what happened to Trent Digiuro, and yet the lack of any answer year after year seemed somehow to be an insult to all that was good, and they just had to accept it. I think wed all kind of resolved ourselves as every year passed, we were just never going to know. Then it was about five years after the shooting, a local attorney named tom bullock heard from an old friend, a woman. She was nervous, tentative, asked him on the phone, could she reveal what she knew about a crime without saying who she was . She was extremely evasive. She didnt really want to tell me, really anything. But she kept calling. Finally she revealed it. She was calling about a murder. Did she tell you what murder . She eventually came around to say it was a very highprofile murder. Where did your mind go when you heard that . I knew which one it was. And then she told him a very strange story. Happened in a bar, she said, almost a year after Trent Digiuro was killed. She was falling hard for a guy. They talked about how much they loved each other. Towards the end of the evening they decided to say, okay, what is the worst thing that youve done . Like, lets get this out of the way. Lets just get to it, you know, that sort of point in the relationship where you say, let me hear the worst. And her boyfriend said, i killed Trent Digiuro. And at first she sort of sloughed it off, you know . Ah, sure you did. Didnt believe him . No, of course not. But then he started describing it. You know, exactly how he did it. But she still didnt want to believe it. After all, shed fallen in love with the guy. So she said she kind of buried it, stayed with him for another year. But now years later and single again, she had seen the story in the newspaper about the fifth anniversary of trents murder in which trents dad was quoted, somebody knows what happened. She started really thinking about it and it touched her. But she was so frightened of him, she said. She was determined to remain anonymous. They know each other intimately. She knows how he would react to certain situations. Yep. And she was terrified. He certainly would have remembered his conversations with her. If you told someone that you committed a murder, you would certainly remember having told them that. Yes. So tom bullock went to detective evans. We agreed that whatever information i would give him would be anonymous because, for all we know, the whole thing could have been hogwash. Thats sort of tricky, isnt it . When you have somebody making an accusation, you have to be able to talk to that person. But at that point beggars cant be chooseers. So he gave you the name . He gave me the name of Shane Ragland. Shane ragland, the womans exboyfriend. But who was he . Didnt take long to find out. Shane was the son of a wealthy businessman. Just so happened shana tended the university of kentucky at the same time as Trent Digiuro. But after college he didnt do so well. He ran up at least a dozen convictions, drug charges, multiple d. U. I. S and so on. So detective evans went back to attorney bullock. Is there any more . Can you get me any more . And ultimately he started talking about a motive. And thats when the whole story took a turn into the twilight zone. He told me that it was concerning Shane Ragland being black balled from a fraternity. What did you think when you heard that . Thats a stupid reason to kill somebody. The fraternity in question was sigma alpha epsilon, sae. Detective evans looked through saes records. There it was, a pledge list with shanes name crossed off. And then it hit, this could be the reason that we never could find out why trent was killed. It was because it was something this weird. Evans went to one of trents closest friends and asked, had he heard of this guy, Shane Ragland . And he said, Shane Ragland . And then i could just sort of see it at that point on his face, you know. And i let him tell the story. A story about an unpleasant little incident. Shane was among the freshmen pledging the sae fraternity, and one day as they were getting to know the campus they went into trents dorm and trent was there. And on the wall was a calendar of some sorority girls. When shane saw that calendar, right away he pointed to one of the girls pictures, and he bragged that hed had sex with her. What shane didnt know is that girl was the girlfriend of the president of the fraternity. Trent did not like that one bit. Got word to the sae president , and thats when shane was black bawled. So at that point shanes opportunity to be in the fraternity was pretty much over. The motives for murder are many and varied, but this seemed absurd. It was three years after that slight when trent was murdered in cold blood. Could it really have festered so long . And if it had, if that was true, they had another problem. The more that we dug specifically into Shane Ragland, the more the likelihood that he would get word that he was becoming a suspect in this case. And if that happened, this anonymous witness was in real danger. Evans had no doubt that shane would remember he told an exgirlfriend about the murder. Whats going to keep him from going up and eliminating her like he did Trent Digiuro . Now evans understood his mystery witness was trying to be brave, but was quite reasonably frightened. How would he ever convince her to take the ultimate risk . She was very hesitant to do it, and she was scared to death to confront him. Coming up, setting a trap. Something you told me a long time ago, i wish you never had. But who is going to get caught . Let me ask you a question. When dateline continues.

More than 10 Million People around the world have now been infected with the virus. And the global death toll has exceeded 500,000. Now back to dateline. Welcome back to dateline. Im natalie morales. It had been five years since Trent Digiuros murder. The case was ice cold, but detectives had just been tipped off by a woman who said her exboyfriend, Shane Ragland, had killed trent as payback for having him blackballed from a fraternity. But the woman was insisting sh remain anonymous. Investigators needed to earn her trust. Once again, Keith Morrison with the motive. Detective evans knew he had to meet this mystery woman, a woman who was claiming she knew what happened to Trent Digiuro, but was too frightened to talk about it. Then finally with attorney tom bullock playing gate keeper, they made a deal to at least meet face to face. But any more than that, maybe not. It was like, listen, dont get me involved in this. Yeah. This guy is dangerous. So until you get handcuffs on him, you cant involve me. But evans knew even if he did arrest the guy, a mystery woman testifying about something an exboyfriend told her wouldnt be enough. I can imagine the prosecutor saying you cant just put her on the stand. His attorney will say shes full of it. In this particular case, that in itself is not going to do it nor should it. Still in a situation where this has to come from him. Him, meaning Shane Ragland. Evans told her they had to find a way to get shane to admit on tape what he did. Otherwise what jury would buy such a ludicrous motive for murder . There was only one way, he told her. Shed have to wear a wire. She wasnt very happy with that obviously. I should think not. She asked me if i could spell anonymous. But, he said, she came around. She wanted to do whats right all along. She just would like to do it without getting herself killed doing t. But she would only proceed on one condition. Id have to prove why she was going to be safe, i had to prove how we were going to do this. I wasnt enough to say, dont worry, he wont have a gun. Well look for bulges. So they came up with a plan, gave her a cover story to protect her, a fictitious job, a phony address. And then casually, she resumed contact with shane. A few emails, a little flirty at times on both ends. People sometimes hear from their xs, right . That happens. And finally, the sting. She told shane shed be passing through the lexington airport on business, and he agreed to meet her. It was in this airport lounge surrounded by under cover cops and fbi and behind security to be sure shane wasnt armed. So. Tell me the good things you remember about our relationship. I remember you used to love your and then she went for it. Somethings been bothering me, something that you told me a long time ago. I wish you never had. I dont know how you feel about it now so i can understand what kind of person you are now. At that point he paused and its like he knew exactly what she was talking about. You do remember . Of course, i do. And you know, the thing is now knowing his name not knowing him, i just kind of ignored it all the time. Saying trents name was deliberate. We talked to her about that. Lets make sure we know what youre talking about when he with play this for a jury later. She brought up what appeared to be the motive, that fraternity blackballing. Was he sensing something . The cops knowing they didnt quite have what they needed, not yet, held their breath and listened. He said, are you setting me up . And thats when things got really scary. But she kept her cool. And they did, and then about ten minutes later, shane came back with just what the detectives needed to hear. She made him so confident and comfortable that he came back to the subject and left us with what we really needed at that point. It came out of his own mouth. They picked him up the next day, took him downtown, asked him, was it true what an old girlfriend was telling them . She tells us you sat there and you talked about the murder, shes a liar . Yes. It never happened . Shes making that up 100 . Absolutely. There was absolutely nothing said. Shane denied it all. Denied knowing trent. Didnt even know where he lived. Denied talking about trent with her. I never mentioned his name once. She never mentioned it. Nothing about that. Nothing about the murder or anything . So then his inquisitors fetched the recording. Are you telling me youre not talking about the trent . She said trent. I didnt talk about trent. I swear to you guys, i did not do this. But his denials were to no avail. Shane ragland was charged with murder. Bail was set and shanes wealthy father paid it, a Million Dollars cash. So shane was free pending trial, which was a very big problem for the exgirlfriend who turned him in. Police moved her to a secure location, kept an eye on her. And then strange things started happening. We got information from our state Police Intelligence section that there was a hit out on this girl. There were phone calls to her friends that would ask, have you seen her . Do you know where she is these days . Obviously trying to locate her. And with all of that going on, she had to do precisely what she didnt want to do, go public, show herself and testify. And the world would know that her name was amy lloyd, and that she was truly terrified. Amy goes public for the first time, facing her fears and shane. Coming up. The defense hits back hard. If, in fact, someone had actually told you they had engaged in killing of another person and you continue a romantic relationship with them, that seems a bit odd. When dateline continues. For patients that have sensitivity its very common to have a gum Health Concern as well. You know, i talk to dentists every day and theyre able to recommend new sensodyne sensitivity gum. Its really good dentistry to be able to recommend one product that can address two conditions. You know whats good about this . Your signs pointing at my sign, so people are gonna look at my sign. Switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. You know, like the sign says. Welcome back. Shane ragland was headed to trial for the murder of Trent Digiuro. Despite being terrified of the defendant, shanes exgirlfriend agreed to testify against him. Police had moved her to a secure location, but now she had to face him in court where her crossexamination would take an xrated turn. Here again is Keith Morrison with the motive. If there was any doubt how seriously police took perceived threats to amy lloyds security, this put it to rest. Amy rushed into court by a s. W. A. T. Team. But Trent Digiuros dad mike knew that if she braved the danger and told her story i dont know how a jury could sort of not convict him. But when it came time for trial, then prosecutor lou anna knew she had a hard to believe motive. I was like everybody else, a little incredulous that they would let the fact they were blackballed from a fraternity for years and killing the person they blamed for blackballing them. They found what they believed was the murder weapon, the. 243 weather by rifle at shanes mothers house. And at his Fathers House they found. 243 caliber bullets to these. Testing linked the bullets to the fragments from the fatal bullet. The defense argued that tests were not reliable science. Call your next witness. Amy lloyd. And now nearly eight years after trent was killed, here was the one person who could tell the story. Amy lloyd finally revealed herself publicly. Though because she remains frightened even now, we have obscured her image in this video recorded by the court. The prosecutions star witness talked about that night at a bar, and shane, according to her, straightout confessing to murder. He said something about how he had, um, if i remembered the Football Player who had been killed. And told me his name, trent. He told me that he shot him. The prosecutor redcorn knew amys story had a weakness. So no choice but to confront it. You did not break off the relationship after he said this to you. No. You didnt go to the police or anything . No, i just i ignored it. You just ignored what he had said to you . Right, i forgot about it. I didnt want to listen to it. I didnt want to hear it. I didnt want to believe it. Why . Because she was in love with him, she said. During amys testimony, the prosecutor played the tape, the sting meeting at the airport. That, said the prosecutor, clear as day was an admission that he did, indeed, commit the murder. How to defend against that . Shanes father hired a formidable defense team, ggt ute true was one of shanes lawyers. If someone told you they had engaged in killing of another person and you continue a romantic relationship with them, that seems a bit odd. When the defense crossexamined amy, she knew it was coming, had to. An attack on her credibility. But could she have suspected how personal it would be . This from trues cocounsel when amy said she went home with shane that night after he talked about killing someone. Werent you concerned about spending the night with somebody who had admitted to you that he had killed someone else . I blocked it from my mind. I didnt want to i didnt want to hear that. And then a kind of nervous embarrassment filled the courtroom. The defense had gotten access to amys very personal, very explicit diary and confronted her with her entries, one by exrated one. We are trying to challenge the credibility of the prosecutions case, and sometimes that gets uncomfortable. This is what amy wrote the day after she said shane confessed to her to murder. April the 30th, the very next day, you make a notation, made love in afternoon. Great day. For the sake of decency, we left out the most explicit entries made by the defense that day. May the 3rd was the date you recorded you took a bath together and made love. Right . Yes. Then it was on may the 7th, you notated you noted, great love, decided i would move in with him in july. Perfect. Yes. So this man that told you that he killed someone, you made the decision that you were going to move in with him come july . Yes. So was her credibility harmed . There was still, after all, that incriminating airport recording. Or was it incriminating . You never did ask him, though, if he had shot and killed trent, did you . Why would i if he already told me . If i said to him, did you kill trent, when he already knew he told me five years ago, he would have known that i was that i was there, in fact, to so set him up . To get him to get him to admit it. Hadnt you rehearsed that . Rehearsed what . With detective evans and others . Dont give him an opportunity to deny that he had shot trent . No. Had the defense planted a seed of reasonable doubt . Maybe. The jury adjourned to think about it, and trents friends waited. Ive never been so terrified and so scared in my life. Heart is going 100 miles an hour . 100 miles an hour. And five hours later we the jury find the defendant guilty of intentional murder. Guilty of intentional murder. The sentence, 30 years. To know that he was guilty, know that this guy who was sitting this smug and not remorseful is guilty and found guilty and, boom, you feel good about that. Mike digiuro thought it was done. Okay, this is it. Hes going to jail. Its over. And amy, she had vanished. Amy was afraid of Shane Ragland. And we told her that if she testified, we would do what we could to let her have a new identity, and Law Enforcement helped her get a new identity. And that new identity would be a problem. You talk about something that just blows you away. I mean, i couldnt even grasp that. Because this case wasnt over. Not even close. Coming up. A stunning reversal. I know im innocent. Will there ever be justice for trent . Its oh, wow, here we go all over again. When dateline continues. Tank was overweight and had no deaenergy. Pet, until freshpet. Put the puppy back in my dog.

Now shane was headed to prison, sentenced to 30 years for the murder of Trent Digiuro. But amy was still afraid. So Law Enforcement gave her a new life and a new identity. Then the story took a turn no one saw coming. Heres Keith Morrison with the conclusion of the motive. It was early spring in kentucky when justice was done for the murder of Trent Digiuro. Thanks, his friends knew, to a woman who faced up to fear and told her story. Weve never met amy and i am eternally grateful to amy for everything that shes done for not only trent and his family, but for us. Except there was an appeal. Of course, there was. Standard procedure. But what happened was not standard at all. A Court Reversed the jurys decision. Any comment, shane . And Shane Ragland went home on a Million Dollars bail paid by his dad to wait for a whole new trial. Its been a long time, shane. How does it feel to be outside . I dont look at it like that. I look at the longterm goal of fighting a case against me thats fake, thats false and i know im innocent, and so i dont worry about my feelings, creature comforts. Why was the verdict thrown out . It had nothing to do with amy lloyd or her explosive testimony or the sting tape recorded at the airport. All that was fine. So what was the issue . The bullet that killed trent. An fbi expert had linked the fragments of that bullet found in the autopsy found like kb bullets like shanes Fathers House. It was bad science and they stopped using it. These are things weve been arguing for years, frankly, shouldnt have been admitted. And the court agreed with the defense. When this reversal happened, what was that like . Well, it was a blow. I mean, it was a real blow. Kind of an irony, isnt it . It was one of the smaller pieces of evidence. In my mind, yes. When what you thought was done gets undone, what does it do to you . Its, oh, wow, here we go all over again. We have to go through this yet another time. And the yet another time we realize pretty quickly was going to be without some key evidence. Yeah . Amy lloyd wasnt coming back. No. Amy lloyd was not going to testify a second time. That was the deal she made, testify once, then disappear. There was no way to bring her back because once someone has that level of cover, you cant undo it, bring them back. And then do it again. And then do it again. No option but to make a deal. Shane got to plead guilty to Second Degree manslaughter. And did you, in fact, commit the crime that you are pleading guilty to . Yes, i did. Which meant that at least he now admitted to firing that fatal shot. I thought, well, plea gar bargain, spends another ten years in jail, im not too bad with that. Wasnt ten more years, it wasnt any more years. He got the time hed already served, five years, plus just three days of house arrest. Three more days. Three more days. He walked out of the courtroom, went home. And that really checked me. He successfully sued shane in civil court for wrongful death. The jury awarded him 63 million, later reduced to 33 million. No matter, said mike. He has president receivednt re doesnt expect to. But money is never the point. Hes never accepted responsibility for what he did. Shane went on with his life, and then a few years later he was involved in a serious car accident. Hes in a wheelchair now and was back in court on an unrelated case. And what about amy . If thats even her name now. How is she doing now . Shes living a new life. Whats she do . Do you want to tell me anything at all . Im sorry, but im not going to be able to tell you anything about her current life. At all . At all. As for mike, he had a choice. He knew he could sink into bitterness or so where do you put your frustrations over this . Well, what has come from all of this is a we consider a very positive thing. The Trent Digiuro foundation has awarded nearly 100 scholarships to walkon Football Players and others at the university of kentucky and at local high schools. Young people with determination and personal courage just like trent. Youll never make any sense of his death, but you can make sense of his life. We can make sense of what weve done to commemorate trent, to remember trent, and giving these young folks an opportunity that trent wont have. Thats another story. And remarkably, trents friends remain exceedingly close even 25 years after that shot in the dark. They feel like family now . They are family. I think it says so much about what trent meant to these kids, young adults now. And what they mean to us. Its been a blessing to us. They all get together and laugh and tell stories, and imagine who would he have become as an adult . Im sure magnificent just as he was a teenager. Im kind of pissed i dont get to meet his wife or meet his kids. Oh, gosh. Share all the adult things weve had to share with each other. I think when i get rid of those base feelings, you know, the underlying feeling, just gratitude that he was in my life, even for a brief moment in time. Thats all for this edition of suddenly there was a man with his arm around my neck and a gun to my head. I shoved my purse into his chest and i said, jesus, save me. And the bullet shot me right in the head, and i went down. Oh, my got. He shot me. It came out of nowhere. A sweet stayathome mom from a Strong Family of faith shot point blank at her own garage door. My dad is like collapsed on the ground. It was very traumatic to see, very very emotional time
