Scott Ferris lived in an apartment at the very top of the barn.

And his mother complained that investigators didn't do a good job of searching that barn. Well, it turns out that some .38 caliber ammunition was found in the barn.

So in Melody's mind, well, clearly her son must have used a gun, disposed of that weapon. But it turns out that Scott Ferris had a buddy who did have a gun, fired a .38, they'd get together and do some target practice.

One of the big issues in this case, which for me is still unresolved, is how does a 120-pound Melody Ferris manage to get, if she murdered her husband, a 300-pound body into that burn pile?

And what investigators were wondering, and by the way, Melody knew how to use both of these vehicles. So they were wondering, did she take the RTV... and drag him out to the pile.

But as somebody that, you know, we have a place out in the country and when you're out there, I mean, every time I go out there, I cut myself on something.
