Softcore porn wasn't the only part of Felicia's life that Brian says he hadn't known about. The other was drugs.

1003.669 - 1012.974 Brian Randoni

She pretty much introduced me to the terrible drug, GHB. She goes, look, I do this all the time. I know what I'm doing with it. But she said, if I ever do too much of this, don't ever call 911.

On the night of September 10, 2009, the night before Felicia died, Brian was late getting home, and Felicia was mad.

1024.02 - 1030.566 Brian Randoni

I got back to the car about 12.05, and I flip over my phone. I see all these texts that says, get home right away.

1031.426 - 1042.976 Unidentified Speaker 2

Felicia's texts got pretty angry pretty quickly. You're the hurtful one. I don't like that you effing disrespect me by hanging up. And I'm freaking out.
