Population Zero Page #2

Here's...

I took that on the morning

that they left.

They did that trip every year.

Well, David didn't actually

join them until

the third year.

But, uh...

This was their...

This was their fifth year

doing the trip.

You know, they'd all come

over here in the morning,

and they'd have breakfast,

and...

And then they'd leave.

Thomas, he was the one

with the pickup truck. So...

And that's that.

Sorry.

It's all right.

Okay.

I built a business

that I...

Wanted to leave to him.

You know, I respect what he

did and what he loved,

but I thought at some point

he's gotta grow up and accept

who he is and...

You know?

At least make a life

for himself.

Make a career for himself.

- Drive safe.

- Will do. Bye.

- Love you, mom.

- Bye.

He was going off to...

Yellowstone the umpteenth time,

and it was just...

He was on my last nerve

that day.

We'd had a little spat

at dinner the night before,

and then he go... traipse off

to the...

To the Park,

and I just, you know...

The last thing I said

was just, you know,

"good luck finding a career.

In the woods."

Or whatever I said. It just...

There are

only four people

who truly know what

happened that night.

Three of them are dead.

The only eye witness account

comes from Dwayne Nelson,

the man who pulled the trigger.

You know, once the suspect

is talking,

they don't shut up.

It's like they need

to get it out.

But let me tell you something.

With Dwayne,

he gave us everything.

It was almost like the...

It was rehearsed.

I'm standing outside

the Cheyenne Police Station,

where Dwayne Nelson will

soon be moved to the Courthouse

to attend a preliminary hearing

in a case that is being dubbed

"the Yellowstone murders."

A bizarre triple homicide,

where the murderer immediately

turned himself in

and confessed.

I just really can't understand

how a man could commit

all these horrific crimes,

you know.

And then just talk about it

like he's, uh...

Reciting the details of

a traffic violation.

If you could say

something to Dwayne Nelson,

and you had that opportunity,

what would you say to him?

If I could

say anything

to Dwayne,

I would say that i

want my son back.

I would say that

I want Cody back.

Out of the way.

He's never offered

me an apology.

He's never taken any

responsibility for his actions.

What will I have to say to him?

Nothing.

We're live now.

He will pay for the murders

of these boys.

And he will understand

what it feels like

to have something

taken away from you.

If I could even just...

Understand why

this person did this,

then I could maybe

move better to forgiveness,

but...

Because it's just so...
