07x10 - Four and a Half Minutes

[bunniefuu]

[female operator speaking]

[woman speaking]

[narrator] A cold-blooded execution.

Four and a half minutes, and that was it. They rubbed him out.

-[police siren wailing] -[narrator] A mystery that must be solved.

[Vicki Chittick] You're already behind the eight-ball

because you have no idea who the person is.

[narrator] Until a trail of surveillance footage...

[Jack Nasworthy] It is very grainy, it's not the best quality

but right now it's all I got.

[Vicki] Holding your breath.

Waiting for something.

[narrator] reveals the shocking truth.

They're there.

That was a huge break in the case.

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Fifty four-year-old Larry Howse and his friend, David Strong

are returning from a crabbing trip.

[David Strong] We met at our neighborhood pub.

I had just really moved into downtown Tacoma.

From that day on, we became friends.

Larry loved boating, he loved being on the water.

-We got everything over there? -[man] Think so.

[David] The last time we were together,

we had went out crabbing, and he had said to me...

-Wanna just hang out and watch the sunset for a bit? -[David] Yeah.

And then, out of the blue, he just said...

And thanks for being my friend. I really appreciate it.

-You know I'm always there for you, brother. -Thanks, man.

[David] And that sunset on that day,

it's etched in my mind.

[narrator] It's Labor Day weekend,

and Larry is celebrating with his family over lunch.

He was going to spend the day with Maggie, his ex-wife, and his sons.

[Dave Howse] Larry was a great dad. He did projects with 'em,

he gave 'em advice.

They all went camping, and fishing, and boating together.

You talk to them, they all think they had a great dad.

Honestly, though, I'm so proud of you guys.

You guys have done so great in school.

Larry was a g*y man who came out later in life,

after marriage and children.

And that's a struggle for folks. I happen to be an openly g*y pastor,

and I think that's one of the reasons we connected.

Thanks very much.

His sons obviously loved their father very much and came to support him.

Okay, boys, I'll pick you up nice and early tomorrow morning, okay?

So, be ready, okay? Love you.

[David] We were gonna meet up that evening.

I was expecting to hear from him but I didn't.

[female operator speaking]

[woman speaking]

[female operator speaking]

[woman speaking]

[female operator speaking]

[woman speaking]

[police siren wailing]

[Jack Nasworthy] Officers responded immediately to the call.

The Sky Terrace apartments, it's a nice complex.

It's in the north end of Tacoma.

The whole area is fairly nice, well-taken care of.

It's a low-crime area.

[police siren wailing]

[narrator] Before police can get there, the crime scene is discovered.

[Jack] A resident of the Sky Terrace was gonna take a walk.

She saw the victim laying in the middle of the parking lot.

So she went back upstairs and contacted a neighbor,

and asked him to come down with her to check on him.

The neighbor was an army medic,

and realized that he was significantly injured,

and called 911.

Police officers responded to the scene and discovered that he had been shot,

and was deceased.

Hi. Did you get briefed?

I was assigned to assist Detective Nasworthy.

So we went in to do the walk-through.

I had a deceased male, about 50 years old, shot in a parking garage.

Nobody saw anything.

[Vicki] He was on his back, with his arms outstretched.

His pants were down, around his ankles.

That was after a medical aide had moved him.

Nearby where the victim was located,

there was clothing that had been folded up,

a jacket, and a pair of shoes set aside.

It looked like it had been neatly folded

with care, which tells me it's probably the victim,

which is unusual.

[Vicki] You're already behind the eight-ball because

you have no idea who the person is.

[camera shutter clicking]

[Jack] So we go through the pockets and attempt to ID him.

We didn't see any wallet, we didn't see any cell phone, we didn't see any car keys.

[Jack] So we considered it could be a robbery.

But the Sky Terrace condominiums were a secure parking garage.

You could not get in without having a key, or being let in by one of the residents.

[Vicki] You have a couple of scenarios going through your head.

Is this somebody who targeted this person specifically? Is it someone that he knew?

[Jack] I had to consider the possibility that somebody

within the building was responsible for this.

We had detectives doing a canvas of the entire apartment building.

And it was during those canvases

when we contacted the first witness who had called 911.

Just a few questions.

[Jack] A woman who was visiting one of her family members,

she had been out on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.

She heard two male voices talking.

And one had said something to the fact the effect of, "Do you want to go get him?"

Another voice answers something like, "Sure."

Shortly after that, she heard a conversation and then the shots being fired.

All right, thank you very much, ma'am. It's been a big help.

We began to suspect that this was probably a robbery

because his pants pockets had been turned inside out.

And so, believing the possibility

that the suspects had rummaged through his pants,

we submitted his pants for DNA analysis.

We still did not know who this person was,

so we located a name and a phone number of the manager.

I'm trying to identify the man.

They told me that they might be able to recognize him.

We don't normally show people our victims.

But because we really needed to know who this person was,

it was agreed that we would take a picture of the subjects face on the cell phone.

[cell phone camera shutter clicking]

They believed it was Mr. Howse,

and was able to tell us that Mr. Howse drove a black BMW,

which was parked in the garage.

[Jack] So you had a tentative ID, this was Lawrence Howse, and the apartment number.

[Vicki] We entered the apartment to do a security check,

to see if Mr. Howse was there.

Once we got inside, there was nobody in there.

[Jack] The apartment was very clean, very well-kept.

That was when I saw the family photograph.

And I immediately recognized him as the deceased.

[inaudible police radio chatter]

[Jack] As we're surveying the scene,

we did see one security camera.

[Vicki] It was like, you know, jackpot.

That's the only thing we had at that point.

The victim was in the opposite side, so not where the camera was located.

However, the camera did cover the entrance to the parking garage.

We went down to the store room where the hard drive was being kept.

Cue it to 9:45 where the shots were.

Based on where the camera was located, I was hoping that it would have captured

either the suspects or the victim, coming and going.

I hoped to get a good picture of the suspects

and have something to go with.

[Jack] Okay, play on.

Freeze there.

Too dark to see who's in it.

Zoom in.

I saw the victim's black BMW enter the parking lot.

BMW hub caps, so that's it. Okay, play on.

Okay, rewind.

You see two people walking on the sidewalk and walking into the garage.

Two younger black males, the first one is wearing a light-colored sweatshirt.

The second male, he's wearing a plaid shirt and jeans.

Pause.

Zoom in on the belt.

And what stands out in this video,

is he has a belt that's actually dangling,

almost all the way down between his legs, which is kind of unusual.

Play on.

Okay, rewind. Let's have another look at that.

The suspect in the white sweatshirt, he walks in first,

and he's seen gesturing to where the vehicle had parked,

and then he turns and talks to the second male.

I believe that's the conversation of, "Do you want to get him?"

So that's what the witness that had originally called 911 heard.

The second suspect in the plaid shirt walks past him.

You could tell he's walking with a purpose to where the victim was later found.

He does have kind of an unusual gait,

that's something else that kind of stood out.

I know at that point that a human life is being taken.

So it can be kind of shocking.

Clearly, it was a very quick encounter.

I'm sure, Mr. Howse, it was probably the longest four minutes of his life.

[Jack] If they had parked a car nearby,

then they would have left in the same direction that they came in.

They did not do that. They left in the opposite direction.

That and the fact that the suspects both approached on foot and left on foot

meant I was pretty comfortable that they lived in the area of downtown Tacoma.

What's unfortunate about the footage is it is very grainy,

it is low-light footage, it's not the best quality.

But right now it's all I got.

[David] I got up the next morning.

I usually got a text message or something from Larry.

"Good morning. "Have you had your coffee?" was our daily text.

And there was nothing but I didn't think anything of it.

I was walking to our church service,

and I received a phone call from a friend of mine, a state trooper.

And he said, "David, I need to tell you something."

And he said Larry was m*rder*d last night.

And I, uh, was just shocked.

Just shocked.

Your mind races about what happened.

Why would anyone do anything to him?

And, uh, I came home and I just,

cried, most of the rest of the day.

[Dave] It's kind of a blur.

Got a call and [voice shaking] "Larry's been k*lled."

I was told that he was m*rder*d and I didn't believe it.

It's forced upon you, to try to make some sense of it,

and it just doesn't happen.

And still, I wonder, you know, "Why?"

[David] I called his sons.

The first thing the boy said to me is, "David, we're sorry for your loss."

And I thought, "Wow, how you all lost your father,

and you're sorry for my loss."

I don't have words but that just shows you the kind of men that he raised them to be.

[Jack] I decide that it's best

if I go to my department's patrol office at the start of their shift,

and I show them the video.

I think seeing the full video, you can see it better,

you can even get a better idea of what their clothing looks like.

The suspect in the plaid shirt kind of had a unique walk,

and I wanted the officers to have an opportunity to see that.

And I say...

If you come across anyone in the downtown area that looks similar to this,

please let me know.

At this point I think this was a crime of opportunity, a random attack.

So, tell me whereabouts you saw...

[Vicki] I went up to interview another couple that had called in.

They said that they saw the subjects running, northbound.

And from the view of their apartment, they showed us.

That's when we realized that the subjects were on Stadium Way.

We walked the entire distance,

looking for any type of evidence,

like Mr. Howse's watch, or wallet, or anything that might have been dropped.

Sadly, we did not find anything.

And then we started pulling video from the area businesses

to see if we could locate anything that would give us

a clearer picture of the suspect's face.

[narrator] Detective Nasworthy asks Larry's friend David, along with Larry's family,

to come to the police department.

[David] He wanted us to look at the video,

to see if we recognized the guys.

I just remember seeing Larry come in,

and then seeing those guys rush in.

I'm just thinking, "This is my friend's last moment on Earth."

[Jack] You recognize anybody?

To know that someone who wouldn't have done anything to harm anyone,

whose life was just carelessly taken from them over a wallet.

[narrator] The team scrutinize hours of local area CCTV.

[Vicki] Jack and myself and all the other detectives,

everybody watched over and over and over again,

looking for any little thing.

The more you look and the less you find, the more frustrating it becomes.

[Jack] Unfortunately, we found nothing.

That was very disappointing. It was a lot of work.

A lot of detectives really worked on that.

[telephone ringing]

Nasworthy.

We had an anonymous tip called in,

and provided a name of a person.

That's great.

It was a very specific tip.

It said that this person actually bragged about the sh**ting.

When we receive an anonymous tip,

we want to follow up and get something that's verifiable.

[narrator] Acting on the tip, Detective Nasworthy runs the name David Elwood

through the police database.

I don't want to go and just grab somebody off the street

because without having anything more, I would have a really difficult time

if he said, "No, I wasn't there," and have to let him go.

I did consider the possibility that this was a false lead.

The fact that the tipster did not want any follow-up,

that can be an area of concern.

-Anything? -Enough to maybe send us down a blind alley.

Once I was able to completely verify this person had nothing to do with it,

I strongly believe that either one of the suspects,

or somebody very close to one of the suspects

called in that tip to throw off the police.

[Vicki] Well, we got the DNA report back from the lab.

[Jack] We submitted Larry Howse's pants for DNA analysis

to see if anyone's DNA were on 'em.

When we found Mr. Howse, his pockets had been turned inside out,

and so I believe that the suspects had rummaged through his pants.

But the only DNA that was recovered was associated with the victim, Larry Howse.

[narrator] Days go by

but there are no new leads.

[Jack] I put out the bulletin of the picture of the suspects,

hoping that one of our officers would recognize him.

A couple of days later, we had a very observant patrol officer

who responded to the Walgreens Pharmacy.

The store manager said that two subjects,

one was described as a black male wearing a blue plaid shirt,

had taken a bottle of vodka and went back out without paying for it.

[Vicki] Walgreens has video surveillance cameras.

So that officer was able to view the subject on the camera.

He believed the suspect was the same suspect

involved in the homicide of Larry Howse.

This has the potential to be a very key piece of evidence.

[narrator] The camera is near the store entrance.

Play that again.

Freeze it there.

You see the subject and he's wearing this blue plaid shirt

that matched what we thought that the suspect in the homicide was wearing.

It was like, "Oh, my God. This is great."

-I think that's our guy there. -Maybe.

But it's a bad angle.

You really don't get a good view of their face.

It's just a side view.

So I was able to contact Walgreens and say...

Can you get me the camera angles on everything?

The entire incident?

It was very frustrating having to wait to get that video.

[Dave] David Strong is Larry's pastor.

Larry's funeral was at the Methodist Church.

[David] He was a son, a father, a husband.

So many folks in our community were in shock.

[Dave] There was a lot of people there from all walks of life.

You don't realize, you know, the effect he had on people.

It was very hard for me. 'Cause you're trying to make sense of it.

You're trying to be supportive to Larry's two kids.

[David] I felt a particular protection for his sons.

And I remember telling them that...

Their dad was very proud of them

and he loved them very, very much.

[narrator] At the Walgreens,

the new CCTV angles are ready to view.

[Vicki] The camera faces right on those doors,

dead on, so you get a great shot.

[Jack] I really was not expecting it to be this good a quality.

That's him. Rewind.

And it shows the subject coming in through the doors.

[Jack] He's wearing a blue plaid jacket. He had the same hair style

as the suspect in the Sky Terrace homicide.

Zoom in on the belt.

What stood out the most to me,

he appeared to be wearing the same belt dangling down underneath the shirt.

It's the same one.

He does have kind of unusual gait,

so I was pretty convinced this is my suspect.

Stop there.

Who's the other guy?

Our next thing that we had to do was like,

"Who's the guy that followed him in the store?"

[Jack] Behind the first suspect

in the blue plaid shirt was a second male.

Who is wearing a multicolored jacket.

We're like, "Is he the second person in the homicide or not?"

Because he was not wearing the same clothing.

[Jack] I considered the possibility it was our second suspect.

But to me this person looked older.

I didn't think it was the same person.

[narrator] The man in the green jacket

is ruled out of police inquiries.

What other angles do you have?

They're there.

[Jack] Obviously, those two were together

because they walked together to the alcohol.

And then the suspect in the blue plaid shirt

selects the alcohol and they walk out together and go in the same direction.

Go back to the entrance.

I just remember I'm just being, like, totally confident.

Like I'm just gonna come here and take this and leave.

It was like, "How bold."

Could we see the outside cameras?

When you see the parking lot of Walgreens,

you can see them walking away.

This was really the biggest piece to the puzzle we had.

This was huge for us.

Thank you. We got what we need.

Someone's going to be able to recognize this

because it was good video.

And so it was exciting. We had something that we could really work with.

[Jack] I contacted video forensics and I said, "Hey..."

Can you compare the person in the Walgreens footage

with the person in the Sky Terrace homicide?

And tell me if you can make a match.

You always are hoping that they're gonna see

the same thing that you think you're seeing.

But you have to be realistic that it may or may not be.

So just kinda holding your breath,

waiting for them to come back with something.

[Jack] I wanted to release these pictures to the public.

[Vicki] We were putting all of these crime stoppers' bulletins out

at the Walgreens, too, when we were canvassing all of the neighborhoods

knowing that if they're gonna frequent these stores and they're walking on foot,

that someone in the area probably knows who they are.

[phone ringing]

A couple of days later I got a phone call back from video forensics.

Nasworthy.

That phone call was a huge piece of evidence for us.

[Jack] Video forensics viewed the video.

He says he is 100% confident that the person in the Walgreens security video

is the same suspect in the Sky Terrace homicide.

I thought it was fantastic that this, obviously, this proved to be a huge break.

He also explained based on his experience

in these types of cases, robbery homicide,

the person with the g*n is normally the first person

to go forward to make contact with the victim.

You see the first suspect in the white hoodie, he actually stops

and lets the second suspect approach first.

And so the suspect wearing the plaid shirt

is probably the one carrying the g*n.

[phone ringing]

A number of tips came in over the week into Crime Stoppers

naming a man named Andrew Boyd.

Andrew Boyd was an 18-year-old male.

He lived at the halfway house for juveniles called the Sylvester House.

Based on that I decided to call the manager.

She admitted, "Yes, I saw the picture of the Walgreens and that's Andrew Boyd."

[Vicki] The residents can come and go as they want,

but they have to sign in and out

when they leave and when they come back.

I asked the manager if she could bring that log book with her,

and come in for a full interview.

Thank you.

We did see the date of the homicide

specifically states in there that Andrew Boyd was not at home

when Larry Howse was k*lled.

Who does Andrew Boyd hang out with?

She was not aware of anybody.

And she provided the names of everybody else staying at the house.

And none of them matched the description of the second suspect.

Thank you for your time.

We had a tough decision to make.

To continue to wait to try to identify the second suspect,

or to simply go ahead and arrest Andrew

and hope he would identify the second suspect for us.

But to get real justice for Larry Howse and his family

I wanted to get both suspects in custody.

Almost exactly three weeks to the date from the homicide,

I got a phone call from one of my partners.

-[cell phone rings] -Nasworthy.

She had just received a phone call from a defense attorney.

Who says, "I have a client that just came forward."

She has some information on the Lawrence Howse homicide.

-Hi, I'm Detective Jack Nasworthy. -Hello.

-Hi. Detective Vicki Chittick. -Hi.

Well, she was living with another female in an apartment.

[narrator] She also mentions the name Jeremy Bennett

She said that Jeremy Bennett stayed there on and off.

And so was Andrew Boyd because Jeremy and Andrew spent a lot of time together.

On the night of the homicide, it was the night before her birthday,

and so she specifically remembers that day.

They came back to the house separately. Jeremy came back first.

Jeremy Bennett comes in approximately after 10:30

kinda out of breath and starts to take some items out of his pocket.

[Jack] He pulled out a wallet, a watch,

and a set of BMW keys.

And he kinda joked about, "Anybody wanna drive a BMW?"

[Jack] Larry Howse had had his wallet stolen,

and his watch, and his car keys.

This is the information we never released to the public.

It convinced me that she was telling me the truth.

What happened to the wallet?

Jeremy and his friend Jheri Flood burned it.

They were both standing near the barbecue and she smelt burning plastic.

And she asked what was happening,

and Jeremy said something to the effect of,

"We're taking care of that stuff from that thing."

Two weeks later she saw the Crime Stoppers' flyer.

I looked up and I saw picture of Mr. Howse.

How did you know it was him?

Well, that was the exact picture that I saw

on the driver's license and the wallet that Jeremy had.

[narrator] The detectives go back to the police department

and run the names of Andrew Boyd,

Jheri Flood and Jeremy Bennett through the database.

[Jack] I got photographs,

and I asked...

Can you identify these men?

She identified out all of them.

[woman] That's Jheri Flood, that's Jeremy Bennett,

and that's Andrew.

She was able to positively identify Andrew Boyd

as being one of the people involved in the homicide.

And that Jeremy Bennett was the other person.

That was a huge break in the case.

[narrator] Detectives are now confident that Boyd wearing the plaid shirt

and Bennett in the white hoodie

m*rder*d Larry Howse.

That was just a great day

because it put a lot of the pieces in place.

Got what we need. Let's go make the arrest.

Early in the morning we started surveillance

of all the known associated addresses of Jeremy Bennett and Andrew Boyd.

Two uniformed officers go to the Sylvester House

and arrested Andrew Boyd in his bedroom.

His blue plaid shirt was recovered there.

[Vicki] The family is expecting justice.

You really wanna help the family, and you wanna have the answers.

So, it was extremely relieving to have somebody in custody.

FBI's Violent Crime's task force

served the search warrant on the residence of Jeremy Bennett.

And Jeremy Bennett was not located at home.

Andrew Boyd was brought in for questioning.

He was wearing the same belt that's seen in both, the Sky Terrace homicide

and in the Walgreens' video at the robbery.

I said, "Andrew, you need to tell me your side of the story."

Andrew denied any involvement.

[narrator] In Downtown Tacoma

officers arrest another of Boyd and Bennett's associates.

[Jack] Jheri Flood was located at his mother's place.

Jheri was the one that started the fire in the barbecue grill.

He admitted to being the one that put Larry Howse's wallet in there.

There was a different detective who was interviewing Jheri Flood

while I was interviewing Andrew Boyd.

That detective told me everything that Jheri had said.

Shortly after Larry Howse' homicide

he was having an argument with Andrew Boyd.

And Andrew told him, "If you don't watch it, I'm gonna k*ll you, too."

And that was enough to scare Jheri.

So I went back in, I talked to Andrew Boyd again.

And I said, "Jheri Flood's telling us everything.

And so, this is your one opportunity to give me your side of the story."

I wasn't getting any real responses from him.

I had stilled pictures from the Walgreens.

He denied it was him.

Then I say, "Andrew, you're pretty much wearing the same clothes.

You've got the same belt on."

So he finally admitted to being in Walgreens.

And so that was a huge step.

But I still needed Andrew to tell me what happened at the Sky Terrace.

I needed an emotional response from him.

I said, "Andrew, we have security video

inside the Sky Terrace parking garage.

I've got you walking in with Jeremy Bennett."

He didn't believe me.

He says, "I wanna see the video."

I did not wanna show him the video

because I knew based on the poor quality,

he would simply say, "that's not me."

And I said, "Andrew, I can't get that video right now,

but I'm gonna draw out exactly what you did.

This is the entrance of the garage.

Jeremy walks in first, he stops, he turns to you,

and he gestures in and you follow him.

This is where Larry Howse is shot.

This is the direction you ran and then Jeremy ran after you."

When he looked at the map, his entire body sank.

I knew I had him.

[narrator] Andrew Boyd finally agrees to a taped interview

to give his version of the events of Larry Howse's m*rder.

[Jack speaking]

[Andrew speaking]

[Jack speaking]

[Andrew speaking]

[Jack] I didn't believe his version of the story at all,

but it really does not matter who actually pulled the trigger.

In Washington State, we have a law called Accomplice Liability.

What that means is if you're involved in any crime,

you're responsible for everything that happens.

And I had him on tape

admitting that he was present, that Jeremy was present,

and together they robbed and m*rder*d Larry Howse.

[narrator] But the hunt for Boyd's partner in the homicide,

Jeremy Bennett, turns up nothing.

We had spent all day doing the interviews and the search warrants,

but we had no idea where he was.

I called the prosecutor up and I said, "We can't find Jeremy.

I'm really concerned that now he knows that Andrew Boyd's in custody,

I'm afraid he'll get out of town."

And there's not gonna be an arrest warrant in the system.

So I said...

Is it possible to get an arrest warrant issued right now?

We're going into the weekend. He's gonna disappear.

He says, "I need you to come down to the court house right now.

And we're gonna get an arrest warrant."

So Detective Nasworthy and I went to the prosecutor's office.

[Jack] As we're walking by,

I look outside the court house.

Both Jack and I are like, "Oh, my God. That's Jeremy Bennett right there."

So, we ran outside.

Jeremy Bennett, you're under arrest.

Jeremy was very shocked. He had no idea.

It sounds like something that you could write in a movie

and somebody would say, "There is no way that would really happen."

But it did.

[Vicki] The good thing was that we had Jeremy Bennett.

The bad thing was that Detective Nasworthy and I

were the two people that arrested him.

That's just a bad combo because you don't wanna be the person

that's putting handcuffs on somebody,

and then turn around and want them to be interviewed.

They are mad at you, they don't like you already.

[Jack] And so two other detectives came in,

and I was watching the interview through a two-way mirror.

[narrator] Jeremy gives his version of what happened at Larry Howse's m*rder.

[Jack] He explained that, yes,

it was his idea to go Downtown and make some money.

He brought Andrew with him.

When they saw the BMW, Jeremy wanted the car

and Andrew agreed to go in with him and rob Larry Howse.

They surprised Larry Howse. Larry never even saw him

until Andrew was on him.

Andrew told him to empty his pockets.

Larry was cooperative. He emptied his pockets out.

Took off his watch, turned it all over.

And then Andrew started telling him to disrobe.

Initially Larry was cooperative.

He took off his shoes and he folded up his coat and laid it down.

And then Andrew told him to take off his pants.

That's when Larry refused.

[g*nshots]

[narrator] Larry Howse is shot twice.

But with two versions of events,

no one will ever know who pulled the trigger.

[Vicki] Andrew and Jeremy were blaming each other

for being actually the person who shot Mr. Howse.

We did not ever find the g*n.

[narrator] Before his trial starts

Jeremy Bennett pleads guilty to the robbery of Larry Howse

and m*rder in the first degree.

Six months later Andrew Boyd pleads guilty to robbery

and m*rder in the first degree.

Both denied being the sh**ter.

[Jack] Jeremy Bennett was sentenced to 20 years

for the robbery and m*rder of Larry Howse.

And the judge sentenced Andrew Boyd to 26 years.

[narrator] Jheri Flood pleads guilty to criminal assistance

for destroying evidence and receives a 17-month sentence.

[Vicki] No matter what case you have, you want to solve it,

you want to have justice for the family.

This one just stood out because it was like a total random act.

Um, and no witnesses other than the cameras.

It just didn't make sense, and it was even

more upsetting to me that they were so young.

How could you be so hardened and so young?

They didn't even know my brother.

They gave him four and a half minutes, you know.

And that was it, they rubbed him out.

Like, throwing that paper plate into the garbage can

at the end of the picnic. That's all he was.

He was a good guy and he's missed, you know.

He's loved.

[David] One of the things I've missed the most about Larry

is getting on the boat and going crabbing.

His legacy is you gotta learn how to love,

you gotta be open to love,

you gotta live your life as fully as you can.

Thank you for loving me.

Thank you for being my friend.

And someday we will get on that boat and go fishing again.
