Is This a Confession? #truecrime #crimejunkie #confession | Forensic Files

A lack of evidence isn't stopping investigators, though, because they've set their sights on a confession from
Byron. >> But that's the only thing they're going to be able to get. Like they they have
literally nothing else. So, detectives tap Kelly's phone lines hoping she can get Byron on the phone. And eventually
on June 5th, 2001, Byron picks up. And we're going to play a snippet of their conversation that we got from Leah. And
fair warning, it's not great quality. And on top of that, Byron sounds kind of muffled, but here it is. Why? Seriously,
why did you have to kill her? What was the whole big deal? Could you explain that to me?
Because I don't get it. Seriously, Justin said for no reason. She's dead for no reason. They're still selfdep.
And for some reason, they're talking to me because you won't talk. So I'm and it
makes me look horrible because everybody already knows that I'm a crackhead that
I'm a cokehead that I'm an alcoholic and I don't remember and if I try to talk to them nothing's
going to add up. So I mean if you could seriously explain to me as to why you actually felt the need to kill her then
that would really help me feel better about the whole thing. I mean was there seriously any reason to all of this
talk about it? Why? >> I think we should.
