When my dad got arrested, Lacey and Sean showed up at the house to pick me and Dallas up, and then my grandma showed up as well to pick us up, and my aunt and my grandma kind of got into it.

That's when it really blew open. That's when, you know, Lacey quit coming around and everything just fell apart.

And he's very hysterical, you know, he's crying, can't really say anything other than get here quick, get here quick. I heard that two or three times.

If you know him, even like at all, he's just not that kind of a person.

We would do lots of things, go on vacation a lot, go out and eat. I mean, my dad made pretty good money, so we were good on that end.

It was really... Awesome to see him walk out, you know, that was... Knowing that he was going to come home with us, that was amazing.

Very pretty. She could be really happy and sort of like the life of the party kind of person.

She was really good at it. And she became like their top employee.

They would fight maybe once every couple weeks or something. Mostly later in the evening, at night, after they'd been drinking. They'd be yelling and maybe slamming doors, things like that. But just arguing about anything, nothing.

I see her laying there. My dad is kneeling. That was the first time I'd ever seen him cry. They had a tumultuous marriage. There'd be yelling and slamming doors.

We just played downstairs for a while, and then eventually went up to our rooms.

And so my sister decided to go downstairs and get into it with her. I think one of the last things I remember my mom even saying was something like, I would never disrespect my parents that way.

Well, he was outside. He does that a lot. He'll go outside and go out to shop.
Dateline NBC
A Crack in Everything
I opened the door and, you know, I see her laying there and my dad is kneeling next to her. And as soon as I had opened the door, he gets up and kind of pulls me out of the room and he's hugging me and crying.
Dateline NBC
A Crack in Everything
Just shock. Obviously very upset, but didn't know what to do, you know.

They all arrived, and we had to leave the house so they could do all their work. And so we went outside and waited in my truck because it was cold out.

Just talk and mostly silence. I remember Dallas kept saying, she's going to be okay. He didn't really know. what had happened, because he didn't see her or nothing, and no one was really saying what happened. And my dad was just sitting over in the passenger seat, just a mess, and that was the first time I'd ever seen him cry.

She didn't act any different with Dad. She still came around. He still helped her.
