you sign right here. no! meet april, the capucian monkey leaping out from the backseat. kind of lunged at me and shocked me. he didn t have his buddy s back exactly. the monkey attacked my hand. he thought it was real funny. it came out of nowhere. he thought i got stung by a bee but it was a monkey. any moment were you thinking, what the hell with us a monkey doing in this guy s car? it was extremely shocking. i wasn t expecting that. neither was april s owner. usually, she s well behaved but not when she s protecting papa from the long arm of the law. she be getting nervous, so she comes over and gets on my shoulder behind the door post. i know now she was ready to ambush somebody. what was your reaction when april leapt at the officer?
hard and one time i hit a door post. at this time you were getting these beatings from your dad, did you love him, as well? yes, of course. reporter: she said the parental abuse eventually pushed her out the door and into the lives and beds of men who cheated on her, sponged off her, used her. and the last in a long line of those men she said was travis alexander. i show up, we hang out, we d have sex. he s not really there presently, he s not mentally present. i m getting a lot of attention, but only while engaging in sexual activity. reporter: jodi described a travis very different than the ones his friends knew. jodi made a recording of a steamy phone call. you re bad. you make me feel so dirty. you are dirty. reporter: but she and travis didn t stop there.
