Ice Cold Killers (2012–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - Permanent Frost - full transcript

A YOUNG MOM VANISHES

DURING THE FRIGID
HOLIDAY SEASON.

SHE WALKED BACK
OUT IN FRONT OF THE BANK

AND THEN DISAPPEARED.

WHERE IS SHE AT?

YOU KNOW, IT'S COLD.
SHE CAN'T SURVIVE OUT THERE.

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL AT HOME.

WE WANTED TO BRING
PATRICIA HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.

TO A FAMILY,

ONE DAY IS TOO LONG.

YOU WANT RESULTS -- BOOM.



YET THE WORRY ONLY GETS WORSE...

I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND OUT
WHO WAS BEHIND IT.

HE ROBBED ME OF MY MOTHER.

SHE'S NOT GONNA
GET TO SEE MY WEDDING.

...IN A STORY THAT
CHILLS A SMALL TOWN TO THE BONE.

A PERSON THAT COMMITS
AN ACT LIKE THAT IS A MONSTER.

IN RUNNEMEDE, NEW JERSEY,

WINTER CAN MAKE YOU WANT
TO JUST ESCAPE.

MISERABLE.

THE SKIES ARE GRAY.

THE AIR IS COLD. IT'S DAMP.

ALL OF US HERE IN NEW JERSEY

WOULD RATHER BE IN FLORIDA
WHEN IT'S WINTERTIME.

INTENSE COLD COMES
AND GOES WITH LITTLE WARNING.



WHEN IT GETS COLD HERE,
IT'S, LIKE, DOWN TO THE BONE.

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO BAD,

BUT WHEN IT SNOWS,
IT REALLY SNOWS.

IT'S A SAFE PLACE
TO RAISE A FAMILY...

USUALLY.

THERE'S ONE SMALL
HIGH SCHOOL IN THE TOWN.

ALL THE KIDS END UP GOING THERE,

AND THEY STAY FRIENDS.

IT'S QUIET.
IT'S KIND OF BORING, ACTUALLY.

29-YEAR-OLD SINGLE MOM
PATRICIA PARKIN

IS HAPPY FOR THE QUIET.

YEARS EARLIER,
SHE DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL,

BUT NOW SHE'S TAKING CONTROL.

SHE WAS A GOOD MOM.
SHE ENROLLED IN SCHOOL,

SHE TURNED AROUND
AND WAS GETTING GOOD GRADES,

SHE MADE DEAN'S LIST, WANTED
TO BE AN X-RAY TECHNICIAN.

SHE LOVED IT.
SHE LOVED THE SUBJECT,

SHE WANTED TO GO TO SCHOOL
AND HELP PEOPLE.

MOVING BACK IN WITH HER PARENTS,

SHE'S DETERMINED TO START OVER
WITH A NEW LIFE

FOR HERSELF AND BABY MELISSA.

SADLY, THE BABY'S FATHER

DIES SUDDENLY OF HEART FAILURE.

HE DIED THREE DAYS
AFTER MELISSA WAS BORN,

SO IT WAS KIND OF JOYFUL, SAD.

THEY SAW HER GO

FROM HAVING PRETTY MUCH
THE WORST TIME IN HER LIFE

TO HAVING A DAUGHTER,

RAISING A DAUGHTER,
BEING AN AMAZING MOTHER,

THEN EVENTUALLY
GOING TO COLLEGE.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

SHE WOULD ALWAYS HAVE
THAT BOOK BAG.

THAT BOOK BAG WAS HER FUTURE.

SHE'LL SHOW EVERYONE
SHE'S A STRONG WOMAN,

RESPONSIBLE, STEADY.

SHE'S GOT A THOUSAND BUCKS
TO PROVE IT.

THAT CHRISTMAS, SHE HAD
A LOT OF MONEY SET ASIDE.

SO SHE HAD ENOUGH AWAY TO REALLY
GIVE HER A GOOD CHRISTMAS.

FOR THIS FAMILY,

IT WILL BE A CHRISTMAS SEASON

THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.

BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS!

**

DECEMBER 2nd,

SHE WAS GOING OUT
TO A MEETING THAT MORNING.

IT'S NOT SO BAD OUT.
I'LL JUST WALK HOME TONIGHT.

OKAY.

- I LOVE YOU.
- LISTEN, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

AND WANT A RIDE HOME,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.

- OKAY. LOVE YOU.
- LOVE YOU.

AT THAT TIME,
SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR,

SO SHE RELIED ON MY GRANDFATHER,

WHO 100% WAS WILLING

TO DRIVE HER THERE
AND PICK HER UP.

IT'S AN ODDLY WARM DAY,

SO SHE'S JUST WEARING A HOODY.

HOPEFULLY, THE WEATHER
WON'T TURN BEFORE SHE GETS HOME.

PROBABLY BOUT 4:00,
MY FATHER SAID,

YOU KNOW, "WHERE'S YOUR SISTER?

I WONDER WHY
SHE'S NOT HOME YET."

I SAID, "WELL,
SHE PROBABLY RAN OUT

TO THE DINER AFTER THE MEETING."

BUT IT WASN'T LIKE HER
NOT TO CALL HOME.

EVEN WHEN SHE DID THINGS,

LIKE GO TO THE DINER,
SHE WOULD CALL.

"HOW'S THE BABY?"

MY FATHER SAID, YOU KNOW,
"I WANT TO GO PUT A REPORT IN.

I BELIEVE SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO HER."

SO I SAID, "ALL RIGHT,
I'LL TAKE YOU

DOWN TO THE POLICE
STATION, DAD."

WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER
WANTS TO REPORT

ANOTHER MEMBER
OF THEIR FAMILY MISSING,

THERE'S A TIME FACTOR INVOLVED
AND AN AGE FACTOR INVOLVED.

BASICALLY, AN ADULT
CAN WALK OUT THE DOOR

AND JUST LEAVE,

AND THAT'S THEIR PREROGATIVE.

THE FAMILY REVEALS
A FACT ABOUT PATRICIA'S PAST

THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.

SHE IS A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC.

MAYBE SHE RELAPSED

OR MAYBE SHE WENT
WITH AN OLD BOYFRIEND

OR MAYBE SHE JUST NEEDED
TIME FOR HERSELF.

29 IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED

RESPONSIBLE
FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.

SO WITHOUT SOMEBODY CALLING
AND SAYING, "HEY,

SHE'S IN TROUBLE,"
OR FINDING HER BOOK BAG,

THERE WAS NOTHING SOLID

FOR ANYONE TO REALLY
PIN THEIR HAT ON.

ALL PATRICIA'S PARENTS KNEW WAS
"SHE DIDN'T COME HOME TONIGHT."

THE MEETING SHE'D GONE
TO WAS AN A.A. MEETING.

THEY HOPE SHE HASN'T SLIPPED
AND STARTED DRINKING AGAIN.

THIS WASN'T HER CHARACTER,
BEING A SOBER PERSON.

YOU KNOW, THE NEW HER
WAS VERY RESPONSIBLE.

NO MATTER WHAT,
SHE NEEDS TO BE FOUND.

MY DAD, HE WAS VERY PERSISTENT.

HE WAS NOT GONNA LEAVE THERE
UNTIL THEY PUT A REPORT IN.

DETECTIVES AGREE
TO ENTER PATRICIA

INTO THE NATIONAL
MISSING PERSONS DATABASE.

THE FIRST 48 HOURS
ARE VERY CRUCIAL.

YOU HAVE TO JUMP ON IT
RIGHT AWAY.

BECAUSE IF
SOMETHING DID HAPPEN,

IF THERE'S SOME KIND
OF FOUL PLAY,

PEOPLE ARE GONNA START
COVERING THEIR TRACKS.

LIKE THE SNOW
FALLING ACROSS THE TOWN.

WHILE THE FAMILY AWAITS WORD,
THEY ALSO ACT.

WE JUST KNOW.
THERE'S THIS FEELING INSIDE.

YOU KNOW YOU GOT
TO DO SOMETHING.

TO A FAMILY,
ONE DAY IS TOO LONG.

YOU WANT RESULTS --
BOOM -- RIGHT AWAY.

I SAID TO MY MOM AND DAD,

"WE NEED TO GET SOME FLIERS UP."

THE LAST TIME
WE ACTUALLY SAW HER,

SHE WAS WEARING A BROWN HOODY,
BLUE JEANS,

AND SHE HAD HER BACKPACK
WITH HER.

THEY TRY TO RETRACE
HER FOOTSTEPS.

I WENT BACK TO THE A.A. MEETING
THAT SHE WAS AT THAT MORNING.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD!
HOW YOU BEEN?

THEY SAID THAT SHE WAS
DOING GOOD IN THERE.

THEY SEEN HER AT THE MEETING.

SHE JUST CAME IN THAT MORNING.

SHE WAS WORKING THE COFFEE BAR.

I LIKE IT BLACK.

HERE'S THAT.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW
THAT SHE TURNED AROUND AND LEFT.

ONE OF THE GUYS THERE

SAID THAT HE SEEN HER
WALK OVER TO THE BANK.

PATRICIA SHARES AN
ACCOUNT WITH HER BROTHER, JOHN.

HE LEARNS SHE MADE A WITHDRAWAL

ON THE DAY SHE WENT MISSING.

WE PULLED THE VIDEO UP

AND SAW HER COME IN,
WITHDRAW THE MONEY.

SHE WALKED BACK OUT
THE FRONT OF THE BANK

AND THEN DISAPPEARED.

THE AMOUNT OF HER WITHDRAWAL --

JUST $90.

IF SHE WANTED TO ESCAPE
HER NEW RESPONSIBILITIES,

SHE HAD PLENTY OF CASH AT HOME.

THERE WAS STILL $1,000
UPSTAIRS IN CHRISTMAS MONEY

THAT SHE WAS GONNA SPEND
ON FAMILY AND HER DAUGHTER.

AND THAT PUZZLED ME,

BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GONNA GO OUT,

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
THAT MONEY WITH YOU,

'CAUSE YOU NEED THAT MONEY.

WHEREVER SHE IS,

SHE'S NOT DRESSED
FOR THE INCREASING COLD.

SHE LEFT WITH JUST A HOODY ON.

WE'RE FULL-FLEDGED WINTER.
WE'RE HAVING ICE STORMS.

WE'RE LIKE, "THIS ISN'T RIGHT.
WHERE IS SHE AT?"

YOU KNOW, "IT'S COLD.

SHE CAN'T SURVIVE OUT THERE."

SOON, PATRICIA'S
FAMILY WILL LEARN DARK SECRETS

ABOUT HER LAST KNOWN STEPS

AND REALIZE THE TRUE DANGER
SHE IS IN.

IT'S THE HOLIDAY
SEASON IN NEW JERSEY,

AND COLLEGE STUDENT
AND SINGLE MOM PATRICIA PARKIN

GOES MISSING.

THIS WASN'T THE PERSON

THAT WE KNEW IN THE LAST YEAR,

ESPECIALLY WITH
MELISSA BEING BORN.

SHE WAS HOME
EVERY NIGHT TO PUT ME TO BED.

SO DAY TWO,
WHEN SHE DIDN'T COME HOME

TO TUCK ME IN OR WAKE ME UP
IN THE MORNING,

THEY SAID, YOU KNOW,
"SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG."

ALL INVESTIGATORS KNOW SO FAR

IS THAT PATRICIA WITHDREW $90
THE DAY SHE WENT MISSING.

HER BROTHER THINKS IT'S A SIGN
OF A SLIP IN HER NEW SOBRIETY.

I BELIEVE THAT SHE FIGURED,

"LET ME JUST GO HAVE
A COUPLE DRINKS,

LET ME GO HAVE THAT LITTLE BIT
OF ESCAPE FUN

BECAUSE OF ALL THIS

YOU KNOW, BEING A MOM
AND BEING A STUDENT."

TURNS OUT
JOHN'S HUNCH WAS CORRECT.

SOMEONE WHO SAW
THE MISSING POSTER

CALLS TO SAY
THEY SPOTTED PATRICIA

GOING INTO A BAR IN TOWN
CALLED THE RIVERMAN LOUNGE.

IF YOU WERE NOT FROM RUNNEMEDE

AND YOU WALKED IN THERE,

EVERYBODY AT THE BAR
WOULD TURN LIKE, "WHO'S THAT,

AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?"

IN A BAR SITUATION

SUCH AS THIS PARTICULAR BAR,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND
TOO MANY PEOPLE

THAT LIKE THE POLICE.

YOU SEEN THIS GIRL AT ALL?

I DON'T RECOGNIZE HER.

- TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
- LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HER.

THEY MIGHT KNOW
SHE LEFT WITH A CERTAIN PERSON,

BUT THEY MIGHT BE FRIENDLY
WITH THAT PERSON.

THEY KNOW SOMETHING,
BUT NOBODY'S TALKING.

I MEAN,
YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN.

YOU HAVE TO MORE OR LESS
PUT YOURSELF IN

LIKE YOU'RE ONE OF THEM

AND JUST BREAK THE ICE
WITH THEM,

AND ONCE YOU BREAK THE ICE,
IF THEY TAKE A LIKING TO YOU,

THEY WILL CONFIDE IN YOU.

DETECTIVES' FIRST GOOD LEAD

COMES FROM THE BARTENDER

WHO WAS WORKING
THE DAY PATRICIA VANISHED.

EVENTUALLY,
THEY GET HER TO TALK.

SHE CONFIRMS PATRICIA WAS THERE

ON THE AFTERNOON
OF THE A.A. MEETING

AND WAS WITH A GUY
NAMED RICK ROLLINS,

WHO WORKS AS A PART-TIME
EMPLOYEE AT THE BAR.

WHEN QUESTIONED,
ROLLINS ADMITS TO DETECTIVES

HE DID HANG OUT WITH HER
THAT AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THIS PARTICULAR FRIEND

WAS NOT ENCOURAGING
HER SOBRIETY.

COME ON.

- ONE AIN'T GONNA HURT YOU.
- I'M ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, THOUGH.
I GOT THIS.

COME ON. COME ON.

THERE WE GO.

SHE HAD BEEN DOING REALLY,
REALLY WELL,

AND SHE TRIPPED.

SHE TRIPPED UP.

IT'S A COMMON THING
FOR THOSE BATTLING ALCOHOLISM --

THE DELUSION
THEY CAN HAVE JUST ONE DRINK,

THEN SUCCUMBING TO THE
SUPERFICIAL HAPPINESS IT BRINGS.

ROLLINS TELLS DETECTIVES
SHE WAS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, TOO.

SHE WAS HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
THAT NIGHT,

TALKING AND SMILING
AND LAUGHING.

HE SWEARS HE DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING TO PATRICIA.

HE PROVIDED THEM WITH AN ALIBI,

AND, OF COURSE,
THEY CHECKED THE ALIBI,

AND IT CHECKED OUT.

ROLLINS CLAIMS HE SAW PATRICIA

SPEAKING WITH ANOTHER MAN
THAT NIGHT.

HE WAS SITTING AT THE BAR,

AND SHE WAS SITTING AT THE BAR.

AND HE SEES HER...

HEY. HOW ARE YOU?

HEY, I'M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?

...BEGIN TO SPEAK
WITH LEE HEITZMAN.

WHAT'S UP
WITH THE BACKPACK?

I'M ACTUALLY
IN SCHOOL.

- OKAY.
- I WANT TO BE A RADIOLOGIST.

- A RADIOLOGIST?
- YEAH.

SO, THAT'S LIKE A --
LIKE A DOCTOR.

WORKING ON IT.

YOU KNOW,
I NEED A NEW DOCTOR.

DETECTIVES FOLLOW UP
ON LEE HEITZMAN.

WE NEEDED TO TALK
TO THIS INDIVIDUAL

AND EITHER KEEP HIM IN
AS A PERSON OF INTEREST

OR BE ABLE TO RULE HIM OUT
AS A PERSON OF INTEREST.

LIVED RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,
SO NOT FAR FROM THE BAR.

THE DETECTIVES
GO KNOCKING ON THE DOOR.

AND HE'S NOT THERE,
BUT HIS GIRLFRIEND IS HOME,

AND SHE'S WILLING TO TALK TO US.

HER NAME IS VANESSA PETERSON.

SHE SAYS THAT
SHE'S CARRYING HIS CHILD.

AND, YEAH, HE HAD GONE
TO THE BAR THAT NIGHT,

GOT HOME ABOUT 11:30,

SPENT THE REST OF THE NIGHT
AT HOME.

SHE SAYS RIGHT NOW,
HEITZMAN IS OUT OF TOWN.

HE WORKED FOR A MOVING COMPANY,

AND HIM AND ANOTHER GUY

LOADED UP A TRACTOR TRAILER

AND WERE HAULING THIS CUSTOMER'S
BELONGINGS DOWN TO KENTUCKY,

AND HE WASN'T DUE BACK
FOR A FEW DAYS.

MY PARENTS KEPT ASKING ME,
"WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE?"

IT'S POSSIBLE SHE'S
HIDING, AFRAID TO COME HOME.

I THOUGHT,
BEING AWAY FROM IT FOR A YEAR

AND DOING SO WELL, YOU KNOW,

JUST WANTING THAT
ONE MORE PARTY TIME,

WE WERE THINKING, YOU KNOW,
"IS THAT KEEPING HER OUT?

IS SHE AFRAID TO COME HOME
AND SAY, 'I MESSED UP'?"

SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

AND EVEN MORE PRESSURE
TO FIND PATRICIA.

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL AT HOME

WHO WAS 11 MONTHS OLD.

WE WANTED TO BRING
PATRICIA HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.

YOU CAN'T SOLVE
A MISSING-PERSONS CASE

WITHOUT FINDING
THE MISSING PERSON.

YOU HOPE YOU FIND THEM ALIVE.

WE WERE HOPING THAT
IF WE COULD FIND THAT BOOK BAG,

THERE WAS GONNA
BE ANSWERS IN THERE.

SOON, INVESTIGATORS
WILL FIND A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

THAT BLOWS THE CASE WIDE OPEN.

IN RUNNEMEDE, NEW JERSEY,

SINGLE MOM PATRICIA PARKIN
VANISHES,

CARRYING LITTLE MORE
THAN HER BOOK BAG,

JUST BEFORE HER BABY DAUGHTER'S
FIRST CHRISTMAS.

INVESTIGATORS HAVE RULED OUT
RICK ROLLINS,

A GUY SHE WAS WITH
THE NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED,

BUT HAVE NOT YET SPOKEN
TO A SECOND MAN FROM THE BAR,

LEE HEITZMAN,
WHO IS OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK.

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS,

DETECTIVES RETURN
TO HEITZMAN'S APARTMENT.

CAN I HELP YOU?

HE WAS VERY LAID-BACK,
VERY CALM, COOL.

HE PRETTY MUCH SAID

THAT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH HER DISAPPEARANCE,

THAT HE JUST WENT DOWN THERE
FOR A COUPLE DRINKS,

AND HE MET HER, AND,

"YEAH, I MET THE GIRL IN THERE."
YOU KNOW, "SHE WAS NICE."

PROBABLY GET GOING. I NEED
TO GET HOME TO MY DAUGHTER.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GONNA GET OUT OF HERE, TOO.

- YOU SURE?
- YEAH. HEY. HOLD ON.

- I'LL WALK OUT WITH YOU.
- OKAY.

"WHEN WE LEFT THE BAR,
IT WAS, LIKE, A COINCIDENCE,

AND SHE FOLLOWED ME OUTSIDE,

BUT SHE WENT HER WAY,
AND I WENT MINE."

**

HE CONFIRMS
WHAT HIS GIRLFRIEND SAID.

HE CAME HOME AROUND 11:30

AND STAYED IN
THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

HEITZMAN HAD A CRIMINAL HISTORY

BUT NOTHING FOR ANY HOMICIDE.

JUST SMALLTIME THINGS --

DRUG POSSESSIONS,
THINGS LIKE THAT --

NOTHING IN THERE THAT WOULD MAKE
ME THINK THAT HE WAS A MURDERER.

WITH HEITZMAN'S ALIBI
SEEMINGLY CORROBORATED,

DETECTIVES LOOK INTO
OTHER AVENUES.

ANOTHER LEAD BRINGS THEM BACK
TO THE RIVERMAN LOUNGE,

WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT A MAN
NAMED DANNY SILVA.

- HOW ARE YOU?
- GOOD.

- BROWN COAT?
- YEAH. BROWN, YEAH.

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, I SAW THAT GIRL
UP HERE.

- SHE WAS WITH SILVA.
- WHO'S SILVA?

SILVA PRACTICALLY LIVES
UP HERE.

DANNY WAS A BIG,
HEAVYSET GENTLEMAN.

HE WAS NOT VERY GOOD-LOOKING.

PATRICIA PARKIN WAS
A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG FEMALE.

**

HE'S GOT
A BIG CRUSH ON HER.

THEY WERE SHOOTING POOL
THE OTHER NIGHT.

HE WAS
BUYING HER DRINKS, TOO.

IN THE COURSE
OF TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE,

WE REALIZE THAT HE HAD TAKEN
A LITTLE BIT OF A SHINE TO HER.

PATRICIA WAS NICE TO EVERYBODY,

AND SHE WAS NICE
TO THIS GENTLEMAN.

MAYBE A THEORY IS,
SHE HAD REJECTED HIM,

AND THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND.

SO, DANNY,
YOU KNOW PATRICIA PARKIN?

LIKE THE OTHER SUSPECTS,

SILVA SWEARS
HE DID NOTHING TO HARM HER.

I CAN REMEMBER
HIM SWEATING PROFUSELY

WHEN WE WERE SPEAKING WITH HIM.
HE WAS A NERVOUS WRECK.

THE GUY WAS SO NERVOUS

THAT HE ACTUALLY WET HIS PANTS

IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

RIGHT THEN AND THERE,
THROWS UP A RED FLAG.

UNDER QUESTIONING,
HE MAKES LITTLE SENSE.

YEAH.

HE HAD
A VERY BAD ALCOHOL PROBLEM,

AND HE ALSO HAD A DRUG PROBLEM.

AND HIS ACCOUNT

OF HIS RELATIONSHIP
AND HIS MEETINGS WITH PATRICIA

WAS COMPLETELY SCRAMBLED EGGS.

WE WERE SHOOTING POOL
THE OTHER NIGHT UP AT THE BAR.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE HAD DATES WRONG.
HE HAD TIMES WRONG.

HE WAS MEETING HER FOR DRINKS

ON DAYS
THAT HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY

HAVE MET HER FOR DRINKS.

JUST TELL ME WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS! WHAT'S GOING ON?

I GOT TO GO FEED
MY MOTHER'S CATS!

WE WERE CONVINCED
THAT HE WASN'T INVOLVED IN IT

WHEN WE WERE
ALL FINISHED WITH HIM.

AS THE DAYS PASS,

PATRICIA'S LOVED ONES
STRUGGLE WITH NOT KNOWING.

ABOUT FOUR DAYS
BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

WE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION --

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
ABOUT CHRISTMAS?

WE DECIDED THAT,

WHEREVER MY SISTER IS AND
WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED TO HER,

SHE WOULD WANT THIS
FOR HER DAUGHTER.

SO WE HAD CHRISTMAS.

BABY MELISSA
IS TOO YOUNG TO REALIZE IT,

BUT SHE SPENDS
HER FIRST CHRISTMAS

WITHOUT HER LOVING MOTHER.

THE KIDS, THEY GOT PRESENTS.

SANTA CAME --
ALL THAT NINE YARDS.

BUT IT WASN'T CHRISTMAS,
YOU KNOW?

I LOOK BACK AT IT

AS MY CHRISTMAS
WITH A BIG HOLE IN IT.

YOU KNOW, SANTA
DIDN'T GIVE ME MY GIFT.

OUR WHOLE FAMILY DIDN'T GET
THE GIFT THAT CHRISTMAS.

SHE COULD'VE BEEN THERE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING,
AND IT WAS MY MOTHER.

**

TWO DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS.

MY POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECEIVED A CALL.

THAT A GROUP OF KIDS
WERE PLAYING

IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA IN TOWN.

AAH!

WHEE! WHEE!

THESE KIDS
WERE PLAYING IN THE SNOW,

AND THEY SEE FINGERS

PROTRUDING THROUGH THE SNOW.

AND THEY THINK,
"WHAT'S THIS?

MAYBE IT'S A MANNEQUIN."

**

SO THE KIDS START
BRUSHING THE SNOW AWAY.

FINGERS.

AND THEY REALIZE,
"THIS ISN'T A MANNEQUIN."

HAND.

"THIS IS A HUMAN BEING."

HELP!

MY PATROLMEN RESPONDED
AND LOCATED THE BODY.

IT WAS SITTING DOWN
IN A RAVINE.

AND WHAT THEY SEE
IS A CAUCASIAN FEMALE,

SOMEWHERE IN HER 20s,
AND SHE'S BRUISED.

IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A DUMP SITE.

SOMEBODY JUST ROLLED HER
DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HILL

AND DISCARDED HER,

UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE SOMEONE
WOULD GET RID OF TRASH.

SEEING HER BODY FOR
THE FIRST TIME, IT BOTHERED ME.

I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND OUT
WHO WAS BEHIND IT

AND WHY SHE WAS THERE.

SNOW'S LIKE A BLANKET
OVER THE EVIDENCE.

IT MAKES IT HARD TO CANVASS,

SCRUTINIZE AN AREA
WHERE THE CRIME HAS OCCURRED.

WE SEARCHED
EVERY INCH OF THAT AREA,

PICKED UP NUMEROUS PIECES

OF WHAT WE THOUGHT
COULD BE EVIDENCE,

FROM SODA CANS, BEER CANS --

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE WASN'T
ONE PIECE THAT PANNED OUT.

ALL WE KNEW IS WE HAD A BODY --
A FROZEN BODY --

SITTING THERE IN THE SNOW.

THERE'S NO I.D. AND NO BOOK BAG,

BUT SHE DOES FIT
THE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

OF PATRICIA PARKIN.

SHE WASN'T KILLED THERE,

SO SHE HAD TO HAVE
BEEN TRANSPORTED.

AND THIS LEADS POLICE TO SUSPECT
SOMETHING EVEN MORE OMINOUS --

MORE THAN ONE PERSON
MIGHT HAVE DONE IT.

PICKING UP
AND MOVING A DEAD BODY

IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

MAYBE PUTTING IT IN A CAR,

DRIVEN TO ANOTHER LOCATION,

TAKEN OUT, AND THEN DISCARDED.

VERY, VERY DIFFICULT
FOR ONE PERSON TO DO.

THE BODY WAS REMOVED
AND SENT TO THE MORGUE,

BUT BECAUSE OF
FREEZING-COLD TEMPERATURES,

IT HAD TO SIT IN THE MORGUE
FOR SOME TIME

TO BE ABLE TO THAW SO THEY COULD
ACTUALLY DO AN AUTOPSY

AND DETERMINE
THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
FINDS EVIDENCE OF A BEATING

AND DISCOVERS A TRAGIC DETAIL.

HER BLADDER
WAS FILLED WITH URINE.

NORMALLY WHEN YOU DIE,

EVERYTHING DRAINS OUT OF A BODY.

AND IN THIS CASE, IT DIDN'T,

WHICH INDICATES

THAT SHE WAS PROBABLY ALIVE

AND JUST LAID THERE
DOWN IN THE RAVINE.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER DETERMINED
THAT SHE DIED

OF A COMBINATION OF THINGS --

BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA...

AND HYPOTHERMIA.

BASICALLY, SHE FROZE TO DEATH.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER

WHAT KIND OF A PERSON
COULD LEAVE THIS YOUNG WOMAN,

HALF-DRESSED,

IN THE FREEZING COLD,
IN THE SNOW,

ON A HILL, IN DECEMBER.

A PERSON THAT COMMITS
AN ACT LIKE THAT IS A MONSTER.

AFTER PATRICIA PARKIN
GOES MISSING

IN RUNNEMEDE, NEW JERSEY,

CHILDREN UNCOVER A FROZEN BODY.

THE DETECTIVES SAID

THAT THEY NEEDED SOMEBODY
TO IDENTIFY THE BODY.

OF COURSE, MY MOM AND DAD,

"WE'RE GOING, WE'RE GOING."

I TOOK THEM UP THERE,
BUT I WOULDN'T LET THEM GO IN.

I WAS NOT GONNA LET THEM GO IN,
SO I WENT IN.

"YES. MY GOD.
THAT'S MY SISTER."

I CAN SEE IT AS VIVID TODAY
AS I DID 21 YEARS AGO.

HOW COULD SOMEBODY
BEAT SOMEBODY LIKE THAT?

MY MOM AND DAD,
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

THEY DIDN'T WANT
TO BELIEVE IT, YOU KNOW?

"WHY WOULD SOMEONE
KILL OUR DAUGHTER?"

ONE OF THE STICKING POINTS
WITH ALL OF US IN THE FAMILY

WAS WE COULDN'T FIND
HER BELONGINGS,

HER BOOK BAG.

EVERYWHERE PATRICIA WENT,
THE BOOK BAG WAS SURE TO GO.

WHERE IS THAT BAG NOW?

WHEN PATRICIA PARKIN
WAS IDENTIFIED,

THE NEWS MEDIA, OBVIOUSLY,
WAS ALL OVER IT.

IN RUNNEMEDE --
QUIET RUNNEMEDE --

DURING THE CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR
HOLIDAY SEASON,

WE FIND A YOUNG MOTHER

OF AN 11-MONTH-OLD CHILD

DEAD IN THE SNOW IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE HOLIDAYS.

YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE

THE KIND OF COVERAGE
THAT IT GOT.

FUNERAL TURNOUT
COULD BE BIG, WHICH MIGHT HELP.

THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

WANTED TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE FUNERAL,

BECAUSE SOMETIMES,

IN THIS KIND OF SITUATION,

THE PERPETRATOR
WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK

TO VISIT THE BODY.

VERY OFTEN,
WE WILL SEND INVESTIGATORS

TO SCAN THE CROWD
IN THE ROOM,

SEE IF ANYBODY'S
BEHAVING STRANGELY.

THEY ALSO HIDE A MICROPHONE.

WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE
WHO COMES UP TO THE BODY,

WHO WILL KNEEL
NEXT TO THE CASKET

AND ACTUALLY SAY, "I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY FOR DOING THIS."

YOU REALLY COULDN'T SEE
WHO THEY WERE.

THEY LOOKED LIKE
THE FUNERAL DIRECTORS.

BUT AT THAT TIME,

IT WAS A COMPLETE,
ALL-OUT INVESTIGATION.

EVERYBODY WAS A SUSPECT.

YOU'RE SITTING
AT YOUR SISTER'S FUNERAL,

YOUR MIND IS CONSTANTLY
GOING ON,

"DID THAT PERSON DO IT?"
YOU KNOW?

LIKE, YOU WANT TO JUMP AT EVERY
PERSON THAT COMES IN THERE.

SAY, YOU KNOW, "WHO DID THIS?
I KNOW YOU KNOW."

YOU JUST HAD TO BACK OFF,

AND YOU HAD TO LET PEOPLE
DO THEIR JOB.

DESPITE THEIR EFFORTS...

THE SURVEILLANCE OF THE FUNERAL

LED TO NOTHING.

NO WITNESSES,

NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

DETECTIVES BELIEVE
MORE THAN ONE PERSON

WAS INVOLVED
IN THIS SICKENING CRIME.

TWO PEOPLE COLLUDING
TO DUMP A BELOVED YOUNG MOTHER

ON AN ICY NIGHT,

AND NO ONE TALKING TO POLICE.

BUT WHO ARE THEY?

WE HAVE A BIG GAP IN THIS CASE,

FROM WHEN SHE LEAVES THE BAR

TO WHEN THAT BODY'S FOUND.

AND WHO DID PATRICIA
LEAVE THE BAR WITH?

LEE HEITZMAN,

THE LAST PERSON WITNESSES PLACE
WITH PATRICIA

BEFORE SHE DIED.

CERTAIN HE WAS INVOLVED,

DETECTIVES NEED
TO GET HIM TO TALK.

WE ASKED HIM
IF HE'D BE INTERESTED

IN TAKING A POLYGRAPH TEST,
AND HE --

"SURE. I DON'T HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THAT."

WE HAD THE TEST SET UP
FOR THE NEXT DAY AT 3:00.

WELL, OF COURSE,
WE GET A PHONE CALL --

"I'M NOT TAKING THE TEST NOW.

I'VE DECIDED
TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY."

THAT WAS HIS ANSWER.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THE TUNE HAD CHANGED.

LEE NO LONGER WANTED
ANYTHING TO DO WITH US.

THE COOPERATION ENDED.

HE SAID, "I'M DONE.
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU PEOPLE.

I'M GETTING A LAWYER."
ONCE HE LAWYERED UP,

WE COULD NOT APPROACH HIM
ABOUT THAT AGAIN.

WHEN SOMEBODY RIGHT AWAY
ASKS FOR AN ATTORNEY,

I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING
THEY'RE HIDING.

HEITZMAN'S GIRLFRIEND, VANESSA,

DOESN'T WANT TO COOPERATE
ANYMORE, EITHER.

**

AUTHORITIES RECALL
HEITZMAN HAS A TRUCKING PARTNER

WHO WENT OUT OF TOWN WITH HIM
AFTER PATRICIA DISAPPEARED.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION
REVEALED WHO THE GUY WAS.

JIM BOLIO.

SO WE ENDED UP
TRACKING HIM DOWN.

AND WHEN HE WAS HOME ONE DAY,
WE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR,

AND WE WERE ABLE
TO SPEAK TO HIM.

WE ASKED HIM
IF HE'D BE INTERESTED

IN TAKING A POLYGRAPH TEST.

IS HE
THE SECOND PERSON INVOLVED?

HERE'S HOW A POLYGRAPH WORKS.
IT'S GONNA MEASURE

YOUR HEART RATE,
YOUR RESPIRATORY RATE.

YOU ANSWER TRUTHFULLY, YOU HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, OKAY?

OKAY.

FIRST QUESTION.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

JIM BOLIO.

HE WAS TRUTHFUL

ABOUT HIS NAME
AND ABOUT HIS ADDRESS.

AND HE INDICATED

THAT HE AND LEE

HAD BEEN ON A LONG TRUCK RUN.

THAT PART'S TRUE.

EVERY OTHER QUESTION
THAT HE ANSWERED

INDICATED DECEPTION.

HE INDICATED
THAT LEE APPEARED FINE --

NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY,

DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABNORMAL
OR STRANGE TO HIM.

ALL LIES.

**

WE CONFRONT HIM

WITH THE RESULTS
OF HIS POLYGRAPH TEST,

AND HE SHUT DOWN ON US.

THE TRUCKER IS NOW REFUSING
TO SPEAK TO US.

BOLIO LAWYERS UP
AND STONEWALLS THEM,

JUST LIKE LEE HEITZMAN

AND VANESSA.

THE PROBLEM WAS,
LEE HAD ASKED FOR A LAWYER,

AND WE HAVE TO RESPECT
HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

AND LEE HEITZMAN'S GIRLFRIEND
IS REFUSING TO SPEAK TO US.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANY ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE.

WE ARE STUCK.

THE CASE GOES COLD...

FOR YEARS.

**

BABY MELISSA BECOMES A TODDLER,

THEN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLER.

AND SHE DOES NOT KNOW

WHO RIPPED HER MOM
AWAY FROM HER.

SHE WASN'T THERE
TO SEE ANYTHING I DID.

EVERY AWARD I GOT IN SCHOOL,

EVERY TIME SOMETHING BIG
HAPPENED IN MY LIFE,

I WOULD JUST HAVE TO
SILENTLY THINK TO MYSELF

THAT MY MOTHER
WOULD BE PROUD OF ME.

BUT I NEVER ACTUALLY GOT
TO SEE THAT FOR MYSELF.

I NEVER GOT TO HUG HER
OR KISS HER GOODBYE

WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL
IN THE MORNING.

EVERY YEAR WAS AN ANNIVERSARY.

EVERY YEAR,
I WATCHED ANOTHER YEAR

GO OUT OF MY MOTHER.

I WATCHED MY FATHER AGE A LOT.

YOU KNOW, I WAS GETTING TIRED.

IT GETS HARD ON YOU.

**

ONE OF MY DETECTIVES CAME TO ME

AND ASKED ME IF IT WAS A PROBLEM
IF HE OPENED UP THAT CASE AGAIN.

AND I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S BEEN ALMOST SEVEN YEARS."

PEOPLE, OVER TIME,

THEY LOSE THEIR FRIENDS, AND
THEY'LL CHANGE THEIR STORIES.

MAYBE THEY'LL COME FORWARD
WITH THE TRUTH NOW.

NOW, IF ONE
OF MY SIBLINGS WAS MURDERED,

I WOULD WANT THE POLICE
TO DO EVERYTHING THEY COULD,

TURN OVER EVERY STONE.

I TOOK THAT CASE APART
PAGE BY PAGE.

I WENT OVER
EVERY SINGLE STATEMENT.

FRESH EYES AND TIME

CHANGE EVERYTHING.

THE POSITIVE THING
ABOUT THE PASSAGE OF TIME

IS THAT BOYFRIENDS
AND GIRLFRIENDS BREAK UP.

AND WHAT'S THE OLD PHRASE?

"HELL HATH NO FURY
LIKE THE WOMAN SCORNED"?

EX-GIRLFRIENDS, YEARS LATER,

ARE A WONDERFUL SOURCE
OF INFORMATION.

RENEWING THE INVESTIGATION

INTO THE COLD MURDER CASE
OF PATRICIA PARKIN...

...DETECTIVES FIND A STATEMENT
FROM A WITNESS

ABOUT A TIME
WHEN SUSPECT LEE HEITZMAN

RETURNED TO THE BAR
AFTER PATRICIA VANISHED.

THE STATEMENT THAT
STUCK OUT TO ME WAS THE BARMAID.

WHEN THE BARMAID
CONFRONTED LEE HEITZMAN...

- YOU'RE RIGHT.
- LEE.

SHE SAID, "LEE, YOU WERE
THE LAST ONE SEEN WITH TRICIA.

WHERE IS SHE?"

HEY, YOU BETTER
SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

AND LEE HEITZMAN'S
FATHER STEPPED IN

AND SAID, "DON'T YOU
SAY ANYTHING TO THIS WOMAN."

WHEN I READ THAT STATEMENT,
I KNEW HE HAD TOLD PEOPLE

WHAT HE HAD DONE WITH HER
AND HER BODY.

HEITZMAN'S FATHER
REFUSES TO TALK.

THEY LOOK TO VANESSA,

NOW HEITZMAN'S EX-GIRLFRIEND.

THE GIRLFRIEND,
WHO NO LONGER LIVES WITH HIM,

WE INTERVIEWED HER AGAIN

AND EXPLAINED TO HER

THAT SHE'S FACING
SOME SERIOUS CHARGES

IF, INDEED,
SHE'S INVOLVED IN THIS.

FINALLY, SHE BREAKS
AND TELLS US THE TRUTH.

**

SHE SAID PATRICIA
CAME BACK TO THE APARTMENT.

THEY WERE PARTYING.

SPEND A LOT OF TIME
IN HERE.

LEE WANTED HIS GIRLFRIEND
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARTYING,

AND SHE CLAIMED
THAT SHE SAID, "NO."

YOU KNOW,
"I'M PREGNANT. I'M TIRED."

AND SHE JUST WENT
INTO THE BEDROOM,

AND THAT'S THE LAST
SHE KNOWS OF ANYTHING.

SINCE SHE WASN'T TRUTHFUL
FROM THE BEGINNING,

SHE'S GONNA BE A BAD WITNESS,

AND WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT
ALL OUR PROSECUTORIAL EGGS

IN THE GIRLFRIEND BASKET.

SO WE GO BACK TO HIS FRIEND,
THE TRUCKER.

ONCE SOMEBODY SPEAKS,

THEN MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE WILL,
AND THEN SOMEBODY ELSE WILL.

IT COULD START A RIPPLE AFFECT.

AFTER LOCATING
THE TRUCKING PARTNER,

I TOLD HIM I HAD THE PRIVILEGE

OF INVESTIGATING THE MURDER
OF PATRICIA PARKIN,

AND HE TURNED PURE WHITE.

THEY TELL HIM
VANESSA IS COOPERATING,

SO THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

AND THE TRUCKER REALIZES,

"I CAN'T HOLD THIS IN ANYMORE."

**

HELP ME OUT, MAN.
I HAD TO WAIT.

I'M REALLY SORRY.

WELL, WHAT WERE YOU --
WHY, MAN?

THE TRUCKING PARTNER TOLD ME

THAT HE CONFRONTED LEE
THAT MORNING

'CAUSE LEE WAS LATE FOR WORK.

AND THEN LEE TOLD HIM
THAT HE HAD A HORRIBLE NIGHT,

THAT HE ACTUALLY KILLED A WOMAN.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, MAN?

I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU.

I WISH I COULDN'T,
BUT I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU.

LOVE YOU.

WE KNEW THAT SHE HAD A BACKPACK
AND A SWEATSHIRT HOODY.

SEE THAT BACKPACK
RIGHT BEHIND YOU?

YEAH, THAT'S HERS.

THE TRUCKER REVEALED
THAT LEE HEITZMAN

GOT RID OF THE BOOK BAG
AND THE SWEATSHIRT.

HEITZMAN TOOK
PATRICIA PARKIN'S BOOK BAG

AND THREW IT IN A DUMPSTER
AT A TRUCK STOP.

THE FACT THAT THE TRUCKER KNEW

THERE WAS A BACKPACK AND A HOODY

LENT TOTAL CREDENCE
TO WHAT HE WAS TELLING US.

NOW WE HAD SOMETHING
THAT WE COULD CHARGE HIM WITH.

THE DAY THAT WE GOT THE WARRANT
FINALLY SIGNED FOR HIM,

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BE
THE FIRST ONE AT THE DOOR.

I HAD GUYS BACKING ME UP.

I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR.

CAN I HELP YOU?

REMEMBER ME?

HE KNEW EXACTLY WHO I WAS,
'CAUSE HIS EYES GOT BIG.

HE LOOKED LIKE
A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS.

LEE HEITZMAN,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST

FOR THE MURDER
OF PATRICIA PARKIN.

IT WAS A GOOD FEELING.

**

THERE WAS NOWHERE
FOR HIM TO HIDE ANYMORE,

AND HE CONFESSES.

HE, IN FACT, BROUGHT PATRICIA
BACK TO HIS APARTMENT.

HE MIGHT HAVE TRIED
TO COERCE HER

INTO SOME KIND
OF SEXUAL CONTACT.

I DON'T THINK SHE WAS ON BOARD

FOR WHATEVER ACTIVITIES
HE HAD PLANNED THAT EVENING,

AND SHE FOUGHT BACK.

- STAY A LITTLE WHILE.
- THAT'S OKAY.

- I CAN LET MYSELF OUT, THOUGH.
- HEY, NO, NO, NO, NO.

HEY! HEY, HEY, HEY!

- STAY A LITTLE WHILE!
- AAH! AAH!

YOU ARE GONNA STAY!

I BELIEVE
SHE CHALLENGED HIM,

AND HE OVERPOWERED HER
AND SMASHED HER HEAD IN.

HEY, LOOK AT ME!
YOU'RE GONNA COME HELP ME.

HEY! LOOK AT ME!

HE LIKELY THREATENED
HIS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND

TO MAKE HER HELP DISPOSE
OF PATRICIA...

SHUT UP. LOOK AT ME!

...WHO WAS STILL ALIVE
WHEN HE DUMPED HER.

**

AND THEN, IN THE COURSE

OF THE LONG-HAUL TRUCKING TRIP,

DISPOSES OF THE ONLY EVIDENCE

THAT WOULD'VE LINKED
PATRICIA PARKIN TO HIM

OR HIS APARTMENT.

CHARLES LEE HEITZMAN

PLEADS GUILTY
TO AGGRAVATED MANSLAUGHTER.

AGGRAVATED MANSLAUGHTER,
IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY,

IS RECKLESSLY KILLING SOMEONE

UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES
MANIFESTING EXTREME INDIFFERENCE

TO THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.

AND IF YOU SAW THE WAY

SHE WAS LEFT THERE
TO FREEZE TO DEATH,

IS THE PICTURE
OF THE DEFINITION

OF THAT "LEGAL" PHRASE.

PEOPLE WHO COMMIT
THESE HEINOUS ACTS

CHEAPEN THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE,

TO HAVE NO COMPASSION
FOR THAT PERSON,

NOT KNOWING
WHAT THAT PERSON FELT

AND LEAVING THEM
LIKE A PIECE OF GARBAGE.

IN EXCHANGE
FOR THEIR COOPERATION,

THE GIRLFRIEND
AND THE TRUCKING PARTNER

ARE NOT CHARGED.

HEITZMAN GETS A 25-YEAR SENTENCE

BUT ONLY SERVES 12.

HE DIES IN PRISON

ON OCTOBER 31, 2014--

EERILY,
ON PATRICIA PARKIN'S BIRTHDAY.

TO THE PARKIN FAMILY,

HEAVEN HAS NO ROOM FOR HIM.

WE ALL HAD THE SAME THOUGHT
THAT,

"I WONDER HOW HE FELT
WHEN HE MET MY SISTER,

AND MY SISTER SAID, 'NOPE,
YOU GOT TO GO THE OTHER WAY.

YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH ME NOW.'"

HE'S NEVER APOLOGIZED,

NOT EVEN TO HIS GRAVE.

TO HIS DEATH,
HE WAS A COLD-HEARTED KILLER.

THE GREATEST TRAGEDY
IN THIS CASE

IS THAT A LITTLE GIRL
NEVER KNEW HER MOTHER.

SHE WASN'T OLD ENOUGH
TO HAVE A MEMORY OF HER.

HE ROBBED ME OF MY MOTHER.

SHE DIDN'T GET TO SEE ME
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL,

AND SHE DIDN'T
GET TO SEE MY PROM.

SHE'S NOT GONNA
GET TO SEE MY WEDDING.

I'M SHOOK UP A LITTLE BIT,

BUT SHE COULDN'T BE HERE

TO HELP ME BURY MY --
OUR PARENTS.

WOULD'VE BEEN NICE
TO HAVE A SISTER

A LOT LONGER THAN WHAT I HAD.

MY MOTHER DEFINITELY
HAD A PART IN MY INSPIRATION

TO GO TO NURSING SCHOOL
AND BECOME AN R.N.

SHE WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE,

AND SHE DEDICATED
A LARGE PART OF HER LIFE

TO STUDY TO DO THAT.

AND I ALSO WANT TO HELP PEOPLE,

AND I KIND OF WANT
TO FULFILL HER DREAM FOR HER.
