This. why did you do this? why did this happen? and he just said, i don t know. i can t tell you anything. i don t know. but by now, kody s lawyer had told him, stop talking. tough case. real tough case. because the chances of his getting that death penalty were quite high. i think they were very high. it was the identity of the victim, it was the brutality of the killing. it was the poignancy of some of the photographs from the kids. we just broke your heart. not to mention, kody s confession, which made a defense all but impossible. i think he really regretted doing that, because he their confession early on was the strongest piece of evidence against kody. what kody had in mind, we told him when he was involved in the killing, or that he did the killing, god knows. but the more he studied kody s confession, the more ohlson came to believe, just like mickey s family did, that something about it didn t add up. so, hired ohlson a season
Screw up. a bad idea that became a horrible idea. a bad idea that went very, very bad. was it a high de hatched on the spur of the moment? who knows, at least not according to deede. who said she witnessed the hostility escalate for months. she heard tony bad-mouth mickie time in. again, and she saw tony play one nasty prank after another. including one that seemed like more than just a prank. he had a little box cutter bleed. and he swiped it across her arm. , and effort she said i didn t even know. and then i looked down and i m bleeding and i look at him and he s laughing. was that kind of the straw that broke the camel s back? that was. he said, she s not worth it. and then i really don t want a person like that in my life, at all. then from then, on mickey avoided cody.
She found that good in everything and everybody. a depressive personality, she was not? no. oh, no. not at all. so, and one more thing, mickey and dj, her middle sister, were inseparable. i consider us twins. everything we did we had to be together. if we weren t, at the same place, we always had to know where the other was at all times. but now nobody seems to know where mickey was. it was getting dark in the desert. dark and cold. cecilia bolted out of work early and rushed home, hoping to spot on mickey the way. her finder at the apartment. but only dj was there. my mom came in and she said, is mickey not here. where is she? because this isn t funny. so i immediately went out and searched for her.
for them to look at me and tell me will all be here, she won t be alone. made me feel pretty good. as good as you can feel. then police made a public. shallow grave was discovered. the contents of which are unknown. because the discovery was outside city limits, that case came out of the jurisdiction of the sheriff s department 110 miles away in alcove, nevada. then detective kevin mckinney raced down interstate 80. he met the current forensic steam the next morning. they started sifting and it didn t take very long once it started. it was mickey. in a shallow grave, beneath a clump of sage brush.
