has to return home without his father and without any answers.

But he does have a lot of questions.

First of which is why Allie's telling police Bubba isn't her boyfriend.

And where did this guy Ernie come from?

And if Bubba came along and Allie was there with her boyfriend, then why does he see two sleeping bags in Bubba's tent when the family got access to the body cam footage?

Now, Gonzalez tries to clear up whatever this weird love triangle thing is by phone since Allie had gone back to Phoenix.

And here's part of that conversation.

Bubba's best friend, Tony, told us that Bubba introduced Allie to him as his girlfriend, not as a friend or as a roommate.

But Allie stood firm on this one, then on the call with Gonzalez, and even now when Madison talked to her, too.

She said that Bubba is like family, but that they'd never been intimate in all the years that she'd known him.

And when presented with all the things people told us to the contrary, she said she can't speak for why Bubba would tell people anything different.

She said maybe people just assumed they were together because they lived together.

But she claims that Bubba knew she was with Ernie, that Ernie would spend the night at her house when they were dating while Bubba was living there.

So it wasn't like she was even keeping Bubba from Ernie and Ernie from Bubba.

And apparently, they were cool with each other.

And while her daughter Roxanne was talking through the events of Friday, she told Madison, unprompted, that they'd even given Bubba several sleeping bags since all he had was a tent.

So maybe...

There was nothing to the two sleeping bags on the body cam footage.

Maybe there was nothing to any of this.

According to Tony, it sounds like something might have been bubbling under the surface.
