Were His Drawings More Incriminating Than His Knife Collection? | Forensic Files

He was a 15-year-old kid when this happened. But it doesn't matter. None of that stuff matters. Police do not
believe that he could have seen Peggy and thought she was a recessive Annie doll, a mannequin, whatever. So, they
bring him in for questioning, which his dad okays. He's I mean, Tim's by himself
during this. And the whole time he is insistent he had nothing to do with this. But when they give him a polygraph
that says otherwise, which that's another life rule, never take a polygraph. And we have another one,
always get a lawyer. But Tim said that he and his dad didn't know that they could get a lawyer or should get a
lawyer at the time. And Tim also didn't realize that they were searching his trailer, paying specific attention to
his room where they were finding things like toy guns, a knife collection, and they're still looking for a murder
weapon at this time. They also found a pair of pants with a spot of blood on them. And they found this next thing
that they think is the clincher, like their proof that they're on to a dangerous individual.
They find a bunch of Tim's drawings. [Music]
