No, I have no idea.
Lieutenant John Fain, who at the time was with the Warren County Sheriff's Office, wanted to question 18-year-old Skylar about a call they'd received.
Skylar was put in an interrogation room.
Her father wasn't allowed in with her.
As Fain read Skylar her rights.
And then began pressing her.
A camera was recording everything.
Remember, that was the same day Skylar went to see the gynecologist about getting birth control pills.
More than two months later, she returned.
Skylar told investigators that in the early morning hours of May 7, 2017, she gave birth to a stillborn baby in her bathroom.
Without waking anyone, Schuyler said she silently walked downstairs, got a small garden trowel, and then dug a shallow grave in her backyard.
After about 45 minutes of questioning, Lieutenant Vane told Schuyler's anxious parents the real reason he brought in their daughter.
Thane then gave the Richardsons some time alone with their daughter, never mentioning that the camera was rolling.
And capturing this deeply personal moment.
Skylar told her parents that she named her baby Annabelle and that the baby's father was that friend's cousin she dated very briefly before Brandon.
With the Richardsons still at the police station, coming to terms with their new reality,
investigators descended on their home in search of human remains.
