He wanted to go shark fishing. And if you're going to go off Montauk shark fishing, you should have some kind of gun. The shark gets in the boat or comes up the whole nine yards. So he and his dad both went together. They went to the pistol permit classes. They got the letters. They got everything they needed.

And they had decided the day after Christmas, when things quieted down, they were going to take their paperwork down to the police station and find out what they had to do to file it and get their pistol permits.

That was like his dream boat. He was the man with a plan. You know, pay it off in four years with his income tax. He had it all planned. It was the perfect boat for fishing and a family because that was his passion. He fed his family a lot with his fish. Since he was a little boy, I have pictures of him fishing.

Kyle really wasn't a rule breaker. He wouldn't need a gun so badly he would all of a sudden have to buy one.

He had all afternoons because he had, you know, had his Christmas party. I guess he had visited some friends. you know, after the party. So he had plenty of time alone. If he was thinking about doing anything, you know, why would he do it when you go to get takeout? The last thing he would ever do if he wanted to do takeout was to make a detour and let it get cold and to have to repeat it.

When he was a teenager, he drove trucks for an ionic lumber. After he graduated, he did for a while and he says, Mom, I'm going to get killed on the road. He said, you don't believe how angry these people are. You're in a truck and they pull right in front of you like you can stop on a dime. You know, so he wouldn't have played into road rage in my heart. He would have avoided it.

He was the type of guy, if there was a family out there that ran out of gas and it was raining, he'd stop and make sure he'd go and get them gas. You know, the scenario I play in my mind is If a guy was either hurting a girl or a kid just before Christmas, he'd throw his hands up at a light and say, like, what are you doing? You know, because that wasn't his thing.

He could have known the person and there was an issue going on and he would pull in and say, what the heck? Kyle had good morals like that. So if he saw something like that, he would have stepped in. Those are the two scenarios I can come up with. Either road rage or he saw when he was going by somebody he knew was in trouble.
