didn t want him to be a bad guy. this is something that happened that wasn t premeditated because in my mind that s the only way i could forgive him. why wouldn t you want to hate and seek out and see justice done to this person? because i got to live with myself every day. and then a decision that would come back to haunt him. tom wrote himself into his screenplay. since he was writing fiction, he says, he wanted to make a change. he didn t want it to seem like his beloved sister had a steady stream of men visiting her trailer, so he put himself in the place of scott snowden, that other boyfriend chris encountered just before jennifer s murder. this is someone i protect in my life. i made her pure for my family. i made her pure for my parents. i made her pure because she was a good person. of course, tom wasn t really here at the trailer park any more than he knew for certain that chris was really here. this was a fictional story based on real events, yes, but spun
energy, and then it comes to a point where you just have to deal with it. he had no idea, of course, where that would lead. he just began to scribble. i started writing a stream of consciousness. it wasn t even that hard, even though he was a real estate broker, not a writer, the words just fell to page. here s a guy that i think potentially did it and what would that conversation be like? he wrote imagined conversations, pent up thoughts and feelings about his own belief that chris, the fraternity boy, killed jennifer. tom s theory? that chris in a jealous rage about jennifer s old boyfriend, lost his temper, killed her, without meaning to, then got his frat brothers to help him hide the crime with the fire. gradually what emerged was a screenplay about one young man s terrible, deadly mistake. and for my closure, as strange as this may sound, i

fudging. also, there was the way tom talked about the weather on the day of the murder. if i remember, this was almost the identical weather that it was. reporter: as if he was right there when it happened. he does not use the wording that this was the weather in charlotte or this was the weather in michigan or that he was told this was the weather like that day. reporter: and remember that watch police found in jennifer s hand after the fire and the bracelet and ring tom said his father found at the grave? tom suggested those were left by his suspect, chris woodson. but pat came to a different conclusion. it s your suspicion tom is my suspicion is that it s connected that, this staged event at the murder scene is the ring is possibly staged. did you ever ask tom about that? no. reporter: and there was pat s suspicion that tom knew too much about the murder if he wasn t around to witness it. they took all of the wetters out of the car, put them all
