than anything i d ever seen in my life. i cried for my dad. was this a murder? every day i think of that. all i could think of was my kids. what about my kids. it was in the dark that the fear began, in the dark, and it grew. it terrorized our family, our friends. who was out there, in the dark? here, miles and miles in the woods. so far from safety. from civilized protection. they could just come, onto our property, and invade our lives. but on the summer night, deep in the california sierra, the terror came out of the dark. came after them. to take everything. the terrible, desperate chase. it s awful. and now the question, what really happened, out there in the dark? i still feel like i need to go help him. it looks so innocent now. closed up, quiet, empty. here in its place at the end of 100 yard dirt track, that sneaks off this lonely country road. deep in the sierra nevada but this was not how it was. or was ever meant to be. no. before it happened
how important was that video? it gave the cherry, a true understanding. of the horror that happened that night. we ve got one man s with his leg propped up, in the tourniquet, there we have were maguire in the back seat with a horrible head injury, that is something i cannot capture inwards. lewis, the man you met earlier, was a key witness for the, state remember that bullet from chance ar-15, shredded his like. he was luckily to keep the leg, and survived the night. did you see the defendant sitting over there in the courtroom? i only looked at him once or twice, my heart kind of jumped, and i knew it was him. lewis s been a nervous wreck since all of this happened. in court he was no less nervous as he told the jury about seeing a
Gunman. instead, they found shooting victims. three of them. severely wounded. somebody makes their way over towards the car, and says, let me see your hands. he can be seen in the footage here. shot in the right leg. bleeding profusely. the bill to use as a tourniquet placed just above his knee, possibly saved his life. at that point it s pretty obvious that it s my leg, i m not sure how long went, by maybe an hour and a half. there were other victims, bloody in baffling seen. who were these people, how did they provoke a violent confrontation with army vet chad, read chad and his family said they were terrorized, but that was not the story, louis had to tell. are we lewis s version began an hours drive away in susan ville california, population almost 18,000. home to two state prisons, to movie theaters, and
