Erin Moriarty

Why did he tell you he was doing this?

Did he seem proud of what he had done?

Did you get the impression he was kind of bragging to you about what he had just done?

The details were so upsetting to Alvaro, so difficult to absorb.

He didn't know how to respond to Daniel's story.

Alvaro had told me that he was shaking and he felt like throwing up after hearing Daniel confess to the crimes.

But still, Alvaro didn't immediately go to the police.

You knew he had just killed two people.

Why didn't you tell anybody?

But you knew he might hurt somebody else.

So help me understand why not.

The two of you know, both of you, you both know.

After Daniel told Alvaro about the murders, Alvaro was too scared to go to the police.

But the one thing he did do was cut off all contact with Daniel.

He didn't want to call the police at first.

Instead, Alvaro said, he reached out to Daniel's father, Bill.

Bill and Alvaro's accounts of this differ.

But according to Alvaro, Bill was stunned by the accusation and refused to believe that Daniel could have committed such a crime.

And so Dan's dad said you're overreacted?

He wouldn't do this?
