Around 5 o'clock in the morning on Monday morning. I was asleep and I heard knocking on the door.

A Family Affair
And the detective asked me if I knew of anyone that would have wanted to hurt Carrie and Philip. And I just said, I can't, I mean, I just can't think of anything right now. I just, I was just in shock. Craig doesn't just instantly occur to you?
48 Hours
A Family Affair
I walked right up to him and I said, did you do this? And he said, I can't believe you would ask me that. I said, I need a yes or no. Did you do this? And he said, no. And you believed him? I did. Because the Craig Haight that I know couldn't commit such an act.

A Family Affair
He was being, you know, basically treated as the murderer, and me as a conspirator right there along with him.

It was not smart. It was definitely not smart. And my family was telling me, you know, do you know how this looks? I mean, then I was like, I don't really care what people think. I believe that he's innocent.

When I looked at him, I just felt disgust, disgust at the affair, disgust at just him, period.

And I would finally allow things to come into my mind and in my heart. You know, there is this chance that he could have done this.

I know I didn't do anything. I didn't conspire with Craig. I didn't wish any harm on Carrie or Mr. Phillip or Miss Linda.

Were the brothers very different? They're all three pretty different, yeah. Chris and Craig are the most alike. They both like to hunt outdoors, things like that. And Carrie was the baby of the family.

Carrie and I met in high school, our senior year, in English class. You got a big smile when you said that. Yeah. We were really good friends in the beginning and realized that I was in love with Carrie. And not long after high school, we got married.

He was a wonderful husband. He was a wonderful father, and he was just a good man. My name's Robin Hite, and my husband, Kerry Hite, was murdered. And it's been really, really hard.

It's not something that I'm proud of. But it's a mistake that anyone could make.

I told him that I had feelings for him that were more than, you know, brother and sister-in-law feelings. And he said that he shared the same feelings. It just took off from there.

A Family Affair
I wasn't really sure. I was really confused. And I told Carrie about it two weeks into the affair. Was he prepared for this? No, he wasn't prepared. And Craig did not want me to tell Carrie. Why did you? I just couldn't hide it from him. He knew that something was wrong with me and that I wasn't acting like myself.

I definitely wasn't thinking about my children when I did it, how it would affect them.

I looked at Craig and I said, that helicopter is here watching us. And what was Craig's reaction to this? Very angry, and that Carrie and Phillip better watch out, or he was going to play old school on them. Which means what? I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure what that meant.

And how did this end? Him leaving, and he said, I'm going to go stay with Mom and Dad tonight. Had he ever done that before?
