I first talked about this family back in 2023, but didn't dive deep into the discovery file - the 1,900 page discovery file. It's a monster. This "nice guy" act, even when his dad who he calls his best friend is in the room he still lies not willing to admit that he thought murder of his whole family was just easier than a divorce. 😔
