[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Let's jump to September 10th did he spend spend the night in the apartment the night of September 9th into September 10th. [00:00:09] Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. Yes, do you know when he left the apartment on September 10th? Um, I don't know an exact time. I just know you left early. I heard him leaving and he just said he had a, like, a long drive to work that day. So he was leaving early. [00:00:27] Speaker 1: Okay, so early, um, any guess as to what, um. [00:00:32] Speaker 2: When that was, uh, I don't know I would have thought it was 5 a.m. because that's. When, like, an early work day was for him, but it was probably more like for. Okay, I'm just to make sure that I can do that. You're right in front of your laptop. Oh, here you go. Thank you. Thank you. [00:01:02] Speaker 1: All right. So, what time did you get up on September 10th? [00:01:11] Speaker 2: Probably like 12 to 1 PM. You didn't have to work that day. Uh, no. [00:01:18] Speaker 1: And did you hear from Tyler? Did he call or text you before then? [00:01:23] Speaker 2: Uh, no, he sent that message in the group chat. I mentioned, but he didn't message me directly at all that day. [00:01:30] Speaker 1: Okay, when did you 1st hear from him on September 10th? [00:01:34] Speaker 2: Uh, it was at 11 o'clock with that, like automated message at 11 PM. Yeah. [00:01:40] Speaker ?: Uh, what about. Uh. Uh, what about. [00:01:50] Speaker 1: He asks you here, remember how I was engraving bullets was he engraving bullets before this? [00:02:13] Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I don't remember exactly when, but, uh, he had said he was planning to go hunting with his family. Um, and he asked me for a, if we had a, like, a Dremel to because he said he wanted to create messages on bullets. Um, and I just told him where Dremel was and. I told him to make sure he doesn't like set off a bullet on accident in the house. [00:02:38] Speaker 1: Um, but I didn't really think about it until then how long before, um. September 10th was this that he asked about the Dremel. [00:02:47] Speaker 2: I don't remember because he'd been talking about the. Uh, hunting slash camping trip for a couple of months. But I, I don't remember when he was specifically asking to engrave the bullets. So, so are we talking like a year before? Oh, no, no, not that not that long. It would have been it. I'd say at most a month before this was when he was asking. [00:03:12] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:03:23] Speaker 1: Okay. Right. Um, you talked about the note that he left. Um, I want to bring this up and I should say that, um, these text messages that we've been looking at here. Are, um. Bates number 54. Okay, uh, the notes. I've been titled 16.3 with a note. And this is base number 58. Do you recognize that that on the screen there? [00:03:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. What do you recognize it as, um, that was the note under his keyboard that he was referring to in the. First text of that chain. So, where did you find this on on his desk underneath his, like, uh, computer keyboard. [00:04:18] Speaker 1: And I, what, I assume you read it. Yeah. And then what did you do with it after you read it? [00:04:30] Speaker 2: Um, I believe I just put it back down on the desk after I took a picture of it. [00:04:36] Speaker 1: Okay. And again, the time you read it was probably around 11:00 o'clock or so on the 10th. Yes. The night of September 10th. [00:04:44] Speaker ?: All right. [00:04:45] Speaker 1: And did you ever see that again after you placed it back on his desk? Uh, no, I don't think I did. And that was a desk in his bedroom. Yes. And that's a separate bedroom than your bedroom. Yeah. Uh, I now want to go to, uh, what's been titled 16.2. And do you recognize this series of messages here? [00:05:13] Speaker ?: Um. [00:05:16] Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the. Server of like his friends that I was mentioning. [00:05:25] Speaker 1: Okay, and this is your phone again. [00:05:28] Speaker 2: Uh. [00:05:29] Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm assuming you recognize it because the big crack up at the top. And so this is a server is this discord? Yeah, this is discord. And who, who are members of this server? I don't want names just generally. Who are these people? [00:05:47] Speaker 2: Um, this is his friend group. Um, they played D and D together every week. [00:05:51] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:05:52] Speaker 1: And I just want to scroll through this to make sure that. Uh. Get a chance to take a look at it. Go to the next page. Yes. So Tyler, I come, who's that that's Tyler Robinson. And these other people are just others that are their members of the server. Yes. Jug Barnaby Marina DM. Yes. [00:06:26] Speaker ?: Yeah. [00:06:26] Speaker 2: Like DM means dungeon masters. So this is, uh, these are like. Most of them are names they're using in the, in the game they're playing currently. Got it. Yeah. [00:06:36] Speaker ?: It looks like the last text from Tyler looks like it's, um, 8:00 PM. And do you know what day this would have been 8:00 PM on the 10th or the 11th? [00:06:42] Speaker 1: Uh, I would think that would be the 11th. Okay. Because, uh, at least I think so because I don't think on the 10th that he messaged anyone before [00:06:57] Speaker 2: me at like 11. So, and he turned himself in on the 11th, right? [00:06:59] Speaker ?: I thought so. Yeah. [00:06:59] Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. [00:07:01] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:07:02] Speaker 2: We're just going to go through this so that we have a record of the messages. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:07:11] Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:07:14] Speaker 2: Okay. [00:07:15] Speaker ?: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:07:19] Speaker 1: I'm just going to go through this so that we have a record of the messages. [00:07:24] Speaker ?: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. [00:07:31] Speaker 1: Is that an accurate recording of that thread? To my knowledge, yes. And that looks like between September 10th and September 12th. It looks like the last day on this is September 12th. Screen. [00:07:57] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:07:58] Speaker ?: Okay. All right. So, again, those messages have been, you know, and, you know, some of the, you know, the, you know, the, you know, the time of September 11th. Okay. Okay. All right. [00:08:20] Speaker 1: So, again, those messages covered from September 10th to the evening of September 11th. Now, September 11th, what time did, or did you see. Hi, however, on September 11th? Yes. When did you first see him on September 11th? So, this is the day after. Yeah. [00:08:40] Speaker 2: I saw him when I woke up. Like I said, he was up and around doing a lot of stuff around the house. Um, and then I, uh, I think I saw him after that message where I said, I'll come home and say, I'm doing laundry because I didn't want him. Going to my parents house right then when he said there was probably cops outside. So I went back home and it was just him there and I said by to him and then he drove off. So I just went back to my parents house. [00:09:29] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:09:30] Speaker 1: So he acted erratically. Um, was he. Pacing they're just sitting down, relaxing. No, he was, he was walking around a lot. And that's within the home. Um, and did he talk about what he had done? [00:09:58] Speaker 2: Uh, didn't go into detail. He just I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before and he said it was. I started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn't done it. Uh. And then kept going around and. Just doing stuff, I think, to keep himself busy or distracted or something. [00:10:21] Speaker 1: Okay. Can you talk about what he was going to do next? [00:10:25] Speaker 2: Uh, and then eventually said that he would talk to his parents. Or turn himself over. [00:10:39] Speaker 1: Okay. And when you left. Was that how you let you left understanding that he was going to turn himself in or go to his parents house? Yeah. And I didn't really want to. [00:10:50] Speaker 2: Be at our apartment while any of that was happening, regardless of what went down.
