Yes. He was into manufacturing, speed, and pretty much anything he could make money with.

True Crime Vault: Overboard
You're not good enough for this. You're not good enough for that. Why aren't you this? Why aren't you that? There's an expectation or a level that you're always trying to rise up to, but you can never meet, no matter how hard you try.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We just kind of started chatting and then, you know, we went from there to all of a sudden we started talking on the phone and then one day we were like, you know what, you know, want to meet.

True Crime Vault: Overboard
It strikes the cops odd that this young guy who doesn't really seem to have a lot of means had nearly a half million dollars to buy this boat.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I have a bunch of money that I have no way to spend. And if I bring it here, I'm going to get in trouble. I can't really go to Mexico to spend it because I'm on probation. I'm kind of rocking a hard place.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Yeah, I call him up and tell him, hey, you know, I'm ready, and ask him if it's okay, you know, came down with my wife, and they said, you know, that'd be fine.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
No, we went to like the back of the car and just like, you know, here it is. And he's like, what was that thing?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He was excited, but nervous. And did he say anything to that effect, or just something you had a feeling of? He was just like, let's just close this up.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He was saying that him and his wife, they were looking at places in San Carlos. He's like, we want to get Another boat.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
From what I've gathered from him, I will most guarantee he's down there.

True Crime Vault: Overboard
You can't finance a house in Mexico unless you're a Mexican citizen. or unless you're like established residency and you have a bank account and all that stuff.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He said, well, I'll help you out. I'll get you an account down there. I told him, I'm like, you know, you have nothing to lose by opening up an account. And, you know, you can take care of everything from right there.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I hate that, yeah. I think, for the most part, I'm a nice person. I treat everybody nice. I'm always everything like that.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He was saying that him and his wife, they were looking at places in San Carlos. He said, well, now you go down there and get yourself a house and get another boat down there.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I basically took a ripped piece of sheet and tied it around my... lower extremity, then I went to cut it off.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I guess it's something that I've always, always felt like as young as I can remember, and like always wanted. To be a woman? Yes, but I'm not attracted to guys. And, but I wanted the surgery.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I guess so, kind of in a way. I just said, you know what, I'll do it myself. But they got to me too quick.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I hated it. I mean, there's lots of times I wished I was dead. I've hated my childhood.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I don't know. I guess just trying to impress people I was around, I guess.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Acquaintance, I guess. Just somebody I'd met at the jail. I mean, I didn't even really know him that good.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Personally, I don't think I'm the person that they portrayed 100%. I mean, I think generally a good person, just with a really bad decision. For the most part, I mean, I'm a nice person. I treat everybody nice. What do you want people to know about Skylar DeLeon? Get it out there. I guess, I'm sorry. One thing, you know? Take some things back. That's probably one of the biggest things.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Well, I would say, you know, I'm definitely sorry to his parents. I wish I could take back that time and give him back, you know, his parents, because it's like now I realize what he's lost.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Yeah, I would rather be because I get along a lot better with female than I do with guys. So if I'm going to be doing time, at least maybe I could do it with females than guys.
