So youre the protector, and you are an 11 years old . The only thing i wanted to do was protect them. He stood behind a closeddoor, clutching the bat, ready to fight back. And i was like, the first person to come through here. Im hitting. Going out fighting. I want to try. The boy could hear the voices of two men in the hallway. They eventually started banging on the door. It felt like they were trying to get in. He says he started cursing at the intruders, using every bad word he could think of. Then i could hear all of a sudden, another set of footsteps. In the upstairs. Start running. And then, eventually, i heard. You know. She has a gun. And then, the boy heard a series of gunshots. A breathless , dialed 911. Someone came to my house and my mom up. But the boy was saying was Something Like out of a movie. As first for the Small Town Police department. Early rescue, you are needed that. That michaels residence. Im not really sure whats going on. What had happened inside the roberts
there was something wrong with the very idea that dustin had been a hitman for hire on that night. he parked in front of the house, he had no gun, he had no knife. but hadn t dustin revved off a computer? they found it in the car. you re gonna tell me that my son, went into the house, that is full of bells and gateways. and he went upstairs in the corner of the bedroom, and picked up a obsolete piece of drunk? it s an old beat of computer. useless computer, went out, put it in his car. packed it in nice and neat. and went back in the house, and went upstairs to get killed? monett know there had to be a better explanation. maybe dustin had stumbled in on someone else trying to kill tracey? mona peppered investigators with questions. i kept asking questions, and, i got, funny answers. and they just plain and simple said, her story fits the evidence. and i m just going, no it does not.
