Co-worker

I'm here with the Christine Sheffel.

She cried most of the night. And then whenever you came back on the 17th, she was gone.

To us, it seems odd. Are you concerned about her welfare? It's odd that she hasn't called you is what I'm a little concerned with.

47 years old, worked at the nursing home for over 25 years, I believe, and just a woman who was reliable.

These are the days The stakes do not get any higher. I pledge allegiance to

What do you know about the whole situation with Bonnie and everything?

OK.

And I guess you read in the paper that you were also listed as a runaway also? Yeah.

What made the decision that you would go to the library? Why not to the police department or something?

Do you think you're in any trouble?

Yes, you had a lot of people concerned about you. We don't know what happened to you. We don't know what happened to Bonnie.

That's what you thought? Why would you think that?

And who was that?

But you know I have to ask who it is.

Well, I don't know about that.

We didn't see that coming from a mile away.

I don't know about that, but I want to at least know where you've been. I want to make sure that you're safe.

Do they have any kids your age?

Okay. So is Nathan Carroll's family?

What do you know about Bonnie leaving and what happened whenever she left or was?

Did they talk about the car?

Does that sound like any car that you're familiar with?

Why did they leave on Friday?

Now, the question I have here is, the guy that meets with Bonnie up at the nursing home, he's in a gray Malibu, silver gray Malibu. How do I know that Roger's not the one that met with Bonnie up there that Friday?

What if he told her, hey, I know where Heather is. Why don't you come with me and pick her up? Do you think Bonnie would have gotten in the car with him then?

I said we have to jump now. This is our time.

The family's falling apart, and we have to jump now. This is our time.

Bonnie went missing around 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And his prints are on Bonnie's truck. What do you think?

The first thing you notice on the dash cam is A, the injuries to her face, and B, beyond the injuries, just the fear.

I thought he would be happy because just a couple weeks before, he said, I want a divorce. They had separate bedrooms, but while she slept in her bedroom, she not only locked the door, but she put a dresser up against the door because she was scared.

Immediately, Scott and I said, the family's falling apart, and we have to jump now. This is our time.

So you had a feeling that something... Something went right?

Nathan was 16 years old at the time that this crime was committed. Nathan is now 24. You're talking about a kid versus an adult. So I think maybe you focus on him.

We served him with a subpoena to come testify in front of the grand jury. I made a decision to grant him immunity at the time if he would tell us the full truth. And then fate sort of took over from there.

He held up the immunity paper and said, this is good no matter what I tell you. And I said yes. He put his hands on the rail, and boy, that testimony was gripping.

It's like watching the weight of the world being lifted off this young man's shoulders.

He says that he's on vacation with his whole family. They have Heather there. And his dad said to him the night before, you and I are leaving early tomorrow. And they drove to Eunice Smith's nursing home. And his dad said, good, she's at work.

He told Nathan he was going to get Bonnie. Nathan set up a tent in the backyard.

He's eating lunch. Next thing he hears is eight or nine gunshots, and they're close. They're in his driveway. He walks outside, and that's when he sees feet with tennis shoes on and tan scrubs. There are a few things that stay with me, like he remembers that he was eating leftover deli meat sandwiches from Heather's graduation party.

If you're making a story up, you don't go that detailed into what kind of lunch you're having.

And they start a massive fire. It had to be stoked all day, all night, every couple of hours. And Roger had Nathan help him do that.

I'll be honest, we didn't decide it. It was kind of thrust upon us by an investigator in Jersey County. And all of us were kind of like, yeah, go ahead, whatever.

My partner and I said, this is just never going to get any better. We have everything we're ever going to get. So we thought we'd swing the bat.

Nathan was on the stand for a good two to three hours, maybe more. I mean, just like in the grand jury, you could hear a pin drop in that courtroom while he's testifying. Because family secrets are spilling out in this courtroom. I mean, he's telling a cold, hard, disgusting story that clearly there was no doubt that was truthful.

Nothing happened with any of her phone, social media, bank accounts. All went dead as of 4 PM that day.

Nathan can be hard to read. He was ashamed. He knew what he had done was wrong. He knew what his father had done was wrong, and he knew that helping clean up was wrong. He was very remorseful.

That fire, others have testified, had to be quite large to burn a body like that down to the fragments that we found.

It was pretty short. And I think the way that Heather was in the police interviews is the way she was on the stand.

Every time she cried, it was because she said, I never wanted this to happen to Bonnie. I never meant for this to happen to Bonnie.

Nathan didn't have a choice. If Nathan didn't help his father dispose of this crime, Nathan's a dead man. And let's not forget, he was a barely 16-year-old boy.

Bonnie. That finally she could be at rest. I don't believe in the word closure. It doesn't exist in my mind. But that Bonnie can now rest peacefully.

He said, I don't have anything to be sorry for. I won't apologize because I've done nothing wrong. And that says a lot about his mindset. Sure does.

He was charged with first degree murder while using a firearm. He received 40 years in the Department of Corrections for the murder, plus 25 years for the gun enhancement.

I guess I had never seen the man before.

Can I get your last name? Bosley B-A-U-S. I know why.

so well at first like in the meeting i just want to say bonnie's when she talks she's loud and she seemed different to me she was quiet and her voice was more mellow like mine now and i remember thinking man bonnie seems a little different today after that staff meeting wanda says she headed to the back parking lot to get into her car out of the corner of her eye she spots bonnie and she's not alone she was standing

Like, say if this is the back of her truck, the guy was standing here. And I was looking, and Bonnie had walked up the side of her truck to the driver's door. And the guy was just standing there. I didn't see anything strange, but it kind of seemed strange, because I guess I had never seen the man before.

Can you describe the guy for me?

He was a white male. He looked like he wasn't very tall, maybe 5'8", 5'9", or so. He was like a medium-sized guy. His hair was a salt and pepper, more grayer than black.

In my opinion, there's no way in the world that she did not go with somebody she knew. I really am. All right, y'all got to get that phone. Because there's no way in the world he does not know something.

They've been going out. They've been texting. All I can think about is the show the first 48 hours. And if anybody knows something or at least can lead you to the right direction, send his phone.
