Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

And he has not seen the family as much over the years.

One thing that we don't get into in the episode, and they didn't get into on the stand either in the trial, was that Rob has a longstanding issue with his parents.

They did not approve of the woman that he wanted to marry.

Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

And he entered into a marriage that he didn't think was really right for him because of his parents' feelings, specifically his mother's feelings.

And he eventually divorced that person and finally married the woman that he really was in love with from the beginning.

So that in itself is a window into the dynamics of the family, that their approval was so important.

And he defied it, ultimately.

And you couple that with that moment right after the murder where he is talking with his mother, and he's already talked to the FBI, and she's telling him, oh, by the way, honey, don't talk to the FBI if they call you.

But he's already talked to them, and so he tells her that, and she's like, oh, well, you don't know anything anyway.

Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

I mean, to me, that statement is as incriminating as anything else because, like, that implies that, oh, well, I know something.

And in fact, you and I were both in the courtroom for it.

And then I left the courtroom and I ran into Georgia, the prosecutor, and she just said, wow, after his testimony.

Dateline NBC
Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

And I'll always remember that.

Another thing that they did was they... Wendy testified right before Rob, and Wendy was on the stand for a few hours.

Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

And as she was leaving the court...

Rob came in from the back and from a different entrance.

And this was all to separate Wendy and Rob, who have not seen each other in years, or spoken.

Talking Dateline: Deadly Mischief

You know, you had all these members of this family in this courthouse.

Charlie's in jail, you know, right by, ready to testify.

You know, it was a very weird family reunion, to say the least.
