of the ocean before running out of gas and money and leaving that pickup truck in louisiana. but then they showed her a picture of a marijuana pipe, which, along with the gold ring, turned up at the stock farmhouse. and jessica reid s mantle began to crack. okay. i did steal i stole a whole bunch of money from somebody. i don t know who, i don t know where. i just remember stealing a whole bunch of money. yes, we did lose that pipe when they stole this money. reporter: reid then blurted it out. at this farmhouse, now apparently to her surprise, in nebraska, greg fester sneaked in through a window and let her in the back door. in the kitchen she said she found $500 in an envelope. then she said, they left. and the ring? well, now she admitted finding it in that stolen pickup, putting it on, then feeling it slide off her thumb inside that house.
me because i know the truth. greg blew a guy s head off. and he shot a hole through the lady s face. reporter: there, she d said it. it was greg fester who killed the stocks. but why would she then write that note? greg killed someone. he was older. i loved it. i wish i could do it all the time. if greg doesn t watch it, i m going to leave one day and go do it myself. you re in a lot of trouble, young lady. i didn t kill this guy, though! i didn t have a gun! how am i supposed to kill somebody without a gun? i watched greg do it. i didn t kill anybody. i m not kidding. i did not kill anybody. i promise you guys this. you know what? 17 years old and you have just thrown the rest of your life away. that she had enjoyed it. okay. i ll tell you guys like i liked the adrenaline of it. i know you did it. i didn t like what caused the adrenaline rush. but i liked the adrenaline rush. reporter: that s a real shocker for you. you don t run into that in this little town too oft
and that, a few weeks later, is where the ring came in. that s when roarer got a call from nebraska, heard how that ling turned up at the scene of a double murder, heard how they tracked it back to the walmart in beaver dam and then to cori and ryan and the stolen truck. that must have been a shocker to get that information, to have it cross your desk. a huge shocker. that pretty much sends a chill down your spine. reporter: what was going on? how were these two teenagers, reid and fester, tied to the murders of wayne and sharmon stock? or were they at all? coming up an interrogation of one of the teens provides a chilling first glimpse of what may have happened inside that farm house. i freaked out and left because obviously that guy s up there killing somebody. it s tough to quit smoking cold turkey.
and for the stock family, ever graceful and remarkably forgiving people, afterwards? the rare flash of anger. i hope they live a miserable life because it s turned our lives upside down. they made the choice to go into that house. mom and dad didn t have a choice. my son, who will never know his grandma and grandpa, doesn t have a choice. reporter: what really happened that night? what led two wisconsin teenagers to throw away their live by so callously killing a nebraska farm couple everyone loved? perhaps only two people in the world know what happened inside that farmhouse and why. and one is now speaking out. two people are dead because of me. you know? and i m i have a very hard time with that still. reporter: jessica reid is 21 now. her demeanor, her presence, as she sits with us here, could easily be that of a kindergarten teacher. instead, she knows she will die in prison and says she is haunted by what happened in that farmhouse. what was it like to watch those peopl
phenolphthalein and that tested positive. reporter: then there was more. remember that car seen by the newspaper carrier parked a mile from the farmhouse the night of the murders? detectives had found it, they believed. a 1997 ford contour owned by nick sampson s brother. and it had been cleaned and detailed actually at 5:30 easter monday morning just hours after it had apparently been used in the murders. who details a car at 5:30 in the morning? that s exactly why the detectives thought it was pretty suspicious. reporter: but wait, it gets even better. the car had been searched for evidence once and nothing was found, but then csi chief kofoed got a lead from one of the investigators. when matt confessed, he said he threw the shotgun in the backseat of the ford contour. he said maybe you can find some transfer evidence there. take another look at it. i said, well, maybe we missed it.
