So after the 25 years in prison, he then has 45 years of probation. He's not allowed to contact Morgan even during the probation. So basically, that is the end of his relationship with his children as well.

I know. I struggle with that, too. We're parents, so it's hard to imagine. And the one thing I'll say about Morgan, and I respect this, I'm sure a lot of the audience will, that even given what she's gone through and... Rod's in prison, having pleaded guilty to these crimes.

She's told us that whenever her children who are young still bring up their dad, she talks about the memories like she tries to keep him in a good light for them. You know, the dad that he was, the dad that they knew. And I think that really shows a lot of grace on her part.

At the moment, according to Rod's mom, they don't. It was clear to me that Rod's mom, Kathy, would love to see her grandchildren. But I think out of respect for Morgan, she hasn't. And I'm sure that's difficult for her how that will transpire in time.

Does she believe he's guilty? I asked her several times if she thought Rod was guilty. She never said either way that she did believe he was guilty or not guilty. What she did say is that he pleaded guilty. That was her response to my repeatedly asking her about his guilt. I think she spoke to 48 Hours because she's still his mom. She still loves him.

She did tell me that he'd been through quite a bit of trauma. lost a baby at 18 days, obviously crushing for anyone. So I think that she feels her son was broken in a way and wanted to make sure that someone spoke for him.

So much. It was really... My heart broke for her because she has lost both sons in a way. She lost a grandchild. She lost her husband and her only surviving son is in prison. She speaks to him by phone often in prison and she's worried about him. Did she talk about how those conversations go with Rod from prison?
