These past 13 years have not diminished my love for her nor the love that I felt from her.

This was a tragic event and there are no winners here, but the jury has spoken.

It is the sentence of law and judgment of this court that you be committed to the commission of corrections for the remainder of your life without the possibility of release.

Just knowing what the world was robbed of, that someone as bright and just special was lost, it's tragic to think about.

And remember the man who looked just like the guy in the composite sketch, Michael Pye?

Well, he has turned his life around after serving time, and he wonders how differently things could have gone for him.

I often get shocked by my own story.

Not many people can say, yeah, I married a murderer, didn't know, had kids with him.

There are moments when I'm like, why did I choose to be with somebody like this when there were red flags to everyone but me?

But I also know that I wouldn't have those three kids without it.

And I know that I wouldn't be the person that I am today without the story that I have.

Heidi and Rachel are linked in a way that goes beyond their marriages to Nick Furcus.

On the anniversary of Heidi's death, it also happened to be your birthday.

It's a crazy coincidence.

Will you always think about Heidi on your birthday?

Always.

She's important to remember.

And I'm Deborah Roberts.

From all of us here at 2020 and ABC News, good night.

It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore.
