e. but then she totally gets u p and behaves in a way that can only be described as hysterical . she s literally in a in a state of hysteria. li if this was a copilotp and sh on your commercial flight, youaa would get off of the plane, right?o-pilo t, you d i don t want this nub anywhere near a yoke. that s so obviously. it s but it s kind of our fault. . like if you really think about it, like covid was our fault. yes. we have horrible leaders, horrible politicians. fauci, cdc, rochelle walensky, t we listen to them, we yell at cd our own citizens to put a mask h up. w we didn t have to do it. we could have done it if we stood up. and it s the same way with racism. they bang the racism drum at every moment of the day. and we buy into it. we back off. we don t want to talk about the race hustlers that are out there. they re constantly doing this. it s our fault it s r faul. min we re letting this very small u minority do this to us becauseer everyone is so scared of bein
taking advantage of fred, the detectives believed it was just the opposite. i think fred wanted to own frank in some way. so frank already had $100,000 and now he s on the hook big time to fred. and fred says to get off the hook you got to make this happen. correct. and then the slate s reporter: so in the detective s view, fred was the mastermind, using his financial leverage to manipulate frank who in turn hired nick for a bargain basement price. but fred still didn t know the cops even suspected him, didn t have any idea, for example, that they were tapping his phone. so when fred actually began calling the cops to play mr. cooperative, they recorded every word. hello, officer. this is fred schockner. hey, mr. schockner, how are you doing? there has never been anything as bad as this in my life. oh, right, right. and i hope there never will
something major was going on. i packed up my stuff, ran out the door, and got to the scene. the scene was in bixby knolls. quite and affluent, leave it to beaver homes on carefully tended, retree-lined streets. violent crime is unheard of in bixby knolls, which is just the way they like it here. maybe that s why if they grew up here or moved here, they d everybody s very friendly. always waving. you don t get that a lot in southern california. reporter: rachel still lives in the house she grew up in.ac we were able to play as kids at all hours of the day. w we didn t have to worry about anyone ever hurting us or coming after us. it was a really safe neighborhood. reporter: but then came that november morning when tracy manzer roared over there in her car. i had no idea what i was going to what i was going to find. but i knew based on how i was told about it, that it was going
lynn often fought with her mother. co-dependent. love/hate. call it what you want. reporter: she got married, moved to california with a brand new husband. it didn t work out. ended pretty quickly. but then one day she went to a ball game, dodgers versus somebody, who knows? and she found him. the right guy. her guy. fred schockner. he was almost 14 years older than she was but didn t seem to matter. didn t hurt either that fred was a very successful man. anyway, this time it clicked. they had an intimate wedding on a boat off the california coast. the captain did the honors, and they lived alone together in that house in bixby knolls until finally, after 11 years, they had a son who grew up to be charlie. as parents, they encouraged him to try new things. it was one of the olympics. and we were watching gymnastics, and i turned around to my parents and go, i m going to do
him. reporter: too late now, of course. but what about charlie? the detectives, worried about his safety, called lynn s brother mark. he d gone back across the country to georgia. and urged him to invite charlie for an extended visit with him and his wife susan even though they did not tell mark about their suspicion. i was surprised. i am still to this day. that fred allowed that to happen, but he did. reporter: perhaps fred had more pressing things to think about. whatever his reason he put charlie on a plane to georgia just in time for the main event in the murder investigation. frank jaramillo, under arrest as the alleged middleman, was spilling it all, telling police he took money from lynn s husband. a lot of it. and used a little of it to hire the killer, nick harvey. and then, with a little polite arm twisting, frank agreed to set a trap for the suspected mastermind, fred schockner. wait a minute. did you promise him something in exchange? didn t promise him anything, n
