To this day, the mother still thinks it's a nightmare.

Even after everything they've been through, and we'll get into that, the trial and all that.

But the family is just a very close-knit Mexican family.

All girls, they work really hard.

The mom worked at a fast food restaurant.

along with her daughter.

Susana kept a really tight-knit relationship with her family.

She didn't want a quinceanera, for example, the 15th birthday.

And there are some of the most precious pictures that they have as memories are Susana with the family.

with her mom.

And I'll get into more of that as we go on here.

Brian tells police, oh, I had a break in into my car, which I left unlocked.

at the apartment complex where he lived and worked.

He claimed someone broke into his unlocked truck, in fact, and stole his wallet and then also stole the gun.

But strangely enough, he tells the officer that day that he does not want police detectives assigned to the case.

That's a bit of a red flag, right?

Investigators, of course, are now pretty suspicious.
