Kyle Yulbert

I'm actually protecting somebody.

young man Patrick House, who had dated Clara in August of 2001, came forward to the sheriff's office with information that he had been a participant in this underworld game in which Clara was the Lord of Chaos and the Queen, and that she often assigned different tasks to members playing the game, and that one of the tasks that was assigned to Patrick

was to Tay, which was Claire's word for kill, the OG, which Claire referred to as either the old guy or the old geezer.

Clara claimed that her father

was physically and mentally abusing her, and more specifically, that it involved meat, steak, and that he was poisoning the steak to poison her.

So in Patrick's mind, as the game progressed,

He believed that Clara was serious about killing the OG, her father, and this was no longer a game.

It was known that she was getting funds from them.

We also found that once Patrick House had somewhat distanced himself from Clara, and she later met Kyle Halbert in October, that she started telling Kyle the same things that she had been telling Patrick House, in the sense that her father was trying to poison her, he was physically abusive, he was mentally abusive, again, unfounded.

This fit completely into my wheelhouse and just my own kind of fantasy world that I lived in.

I think she recognized what was going on with me, and she fed into it because it worked for her.

She had made a comment to Katie, and it was one of those cryptic comments.

It was like, I told you he would be coming.

It had been given to her to know that they would send somebody into her circle, and that he turned out to be me.

And she tells me,

I just had a fight with my dad, the OG, that's how she said it.

He told me that when we go to the Virgin Islands for Christmas vacation, he was going to make sure I didn't come back.

She's distraught, and this is just

As you imagine, hitting all the right buttons for me is, you know, oh, my God, I have to protect her.

And she tells me I have to protect her.
