After the party, they were pretty much close to Poland Hall, and they were kind of hanging out there at the other dorm in the common areas with the Scottsville crowd. This is what Lucas is telling me.

Lucas told police that he was looking for Steven. But he ended up driving back to Scottsville at that point, since he hadn't found Steven, and went to his dad's house. And he said he got there between 3.30 and 4.

And I said, what about these tapes and stuff? And I said, you're on them. He said, show them to me. He called my bluff. He said, take my fingerprints, they won't match. Because my fingerprints ain't on there. Kind of like poker, he call you bluff, you either play your head or you fold. I had to fold.

Police seem to put a lot of weight on Danica's testimony that there were two men in that room. And they knew that Steven and Lucas had grown up together and were friendly with one another. Lucas did admit that he had been at the party and that Katie had come up to him and rubbed his stomach.

Lucas comes out at Western Connecticut University, late detective. He said, what do you think? And I says, guys, the only thing I know is we got a testimony from Steven Soules that he's there. And I said, it's not my call. It's yours. So they put him under arrest for murder and arson.

Lucas's mom was married to the grandson of the founder of Dollar General. And while Lucas didn't grow up with that kind of wealth in the media, Lucas was often identified as, you know, the heir to the Dollar General fortune. Although in reality, he was nowhere near getting the Dollar General fortune.

Police weren't releasing much of anything other than these two people have been arrested. And so the community didn't know if there was a lot of evidence or no evidence. And so the community kind of was making assumptions on guilt and innocence just based on names being released. It's not unusual for DNA evidence to take days, weeks, or even months to come back.

So at that point in the investigation, police really just had Stephen's word against Lucas's word. You know, Stephen's giving one version of events that involves Lucas, and Lucas is saying, I wasn't there. I had nothing to do with it. Lucas provided police with some evidence to help corroborate his whereabouts.

They had the interviews with Lucas's dad confirming that he was there, and he also provided gas receipts that he had from getting gas on the way to Scottsville from Bowling Green.

As far as Lucas Goodrum, I had Steven's statements. I had the Nika Jackson statement saying, I heard another male voice. I can put Lucas Goodrum in Bowling Green. I can put him at the Pike House in contact with Katie Autry. We know she rubbed his stomach. He admits to his own that he's at the other dorm in the common areas with the Scottsville crowd. He admits to leaving.
