In other words, he's writing the note as his brother. And this particular note was very clearly a suicide note. And what was interesting about that was that note was found in Grant's car. And we were able to establish that the morning after this all happened, the morning that the police showed up and after Grant's interview, he had actually driven back to the house.
And he said this in his interview and saw police there at the house and kept going and didn't stop. And obviously the plan there was for him to drive back to the house because he thought he must have thought about it overnight, written this note that explains it as a murder-suicide and was going to drop it off. But unfortunately for him, the police were already there.
Margaret that night was making dinner. We know that because there was chicken breast defrosted on the kitchen counter. It was still there the morning of the 25th. Grant came down. Grant shot his mom while she was at her desk sometime around four o'clock.
We know from the phone records when his phone was plugged into his car, when he unplugged his phone from the car, and that he took 67 steps from the car to the kitchen. And then all movement stopped, and that was around six. He was shot in the back of the head first while he was putting away his lunch from the counter. He fell to the ground. The second shot was fired in the back of his head.
Then there was a phone call from the house that we were able to pull from phone records that was made that lured Cody home. He, of course, was shot as soon as he walked in. All of the shots were such that the victims would presumably not have seen who pulled the trigger.
So often it's not what the defendant does, it's what he does afterwards. That is key in so many cases. And this is a textbook example of that. Let me think about this for a minute. He drove to the house where he lived, where his parents and brother, who he loved, are. And he pulls up the morning of the 25th and he sees police cars all around it. And again, what does he do? He flees. He flees.
That is not the act of someone who is concerned about, you know, what's going on at my house. That's the act of, oh, I just shot everybody in the house. I got to get the hell out of here.
And then, of course, the motive, right? And, you know, I don't have to prove motive, but when I can, it's phenomenal. The guy who has stolen and spent a quarter million dollars of his parents' money now has been outed by his father and brother. And that online life has been, frankly, murdered. What else could it possibly have been?
Well, lo and behold, he develops a relationship with this fella who is putting together a documentary. He's the only person that he talks to in the jail, and he talks to him almost every day. A number of months ago, maybe a year ago now, the documentary was released. And during the course of the documentary, while he's in prison...
All of a sudden, when the appeal was denied, Grant started chatting about what actually happened. During the course of it, he basically said, I did it because he was sick of his family.
I shot everybody in the back for their own benefit because I was showing them mercy so that they wouldn't know that I was the one that did it. It was one of the most chilling things that I have seen in my 20-year career. Just not even what he said, which in and of itself is disturbing, but how he delivered it. It was unbelievable.
Not only is it a tragedy for three wonderful human beings who really did nothing but tried to help their brother and son, it's a powerful lesson to everyone else. If you have someone in your life that is Looking for an escape, whether it's through alcohol or drugs or the internet or whatever else, better to act as soon as you can, wait it all.
I don't know that any of this could have been prevented, but certainly the warning signs are out there, at least amongst the nuclear family.
