Sonny is eventually taken in for questioning, where investigators can finally hear his side of the story and compare it with everything they've already learned. >> What happened? I've been married I've been with my wife for 28 years. >> Okay. >> We were together since we were babies. So, I'm 46 years old old. If we've been together for 28 years, you can imagine how long we've been together. We spent our life together. >> Sure. >> We have two kids.

But let's sit to see how how can we fix things. >> Sure. >> You know, to keep living our life. >> Sure. >> And then she did not want Yeah, she did not want that. So and then um she had a lawyer, a strong lawyer. And then we got to a point where we had to split everything 50/50 because we have we house here.

And then as a matter of fact, not only she got married um she's moving with her husband in the house that we buy [clears throat] for the kids. >> Sony says anger took over after he saw his recently remarried ex-wife with her new husband. He claims he felt disrespected, frustrated by being blocked from calling her, and overwhelmed by the tension surrounding their divorce. In his mind, what started as a visit to take his daughter to breakfast quickly turned into something much more serious. >> Yeah, and then she blocked me in the phone. I cannot talk to her. Whatever, she did not want to talk to me whatsoever. Okay? But if she wanted to talk to me, I was going to tell her, "Listen, we spent our life together. I was we we worked so hard together to get our life together. I walked out with the divorce empty-handed. Not that she had everything. A retirement plan, you know, her her lawyer fight to give to give her to to to give to her to go to work and together to get that retirement plan. She got the family things. She got all that. She got the house. She got everything. I walked out with the divorce empty-handed. I said, "I have no other problem, but I have three kids with you." She said, "Okay. If you're happy, my kids are going to be happy. I don't have any problem with that, okay? The thing is, officer, I know I know what I did is wrong. I know he did but I was fine with it. I'm not a bad guy. If you want me, we're not going to see I never involved in nothing, you know, I never touched a gun whatsoever, you know? And then yeah, you want to see the >> No, I was saying you you've been nothing but respectful to me, and you seem like a nice person. >> Yeah, and then if she wanted to talk to me about that situation, I was going to tell her, "Listen, you're free to get married. No problem. We could we could we could not get the family together. You you want to get married, but remember, I decided to leave that house for my kids, not for you and your husband to live in. This is so disrespectful. You cannot do that." >> Right. >> You know? >> Disrespectful. >> You cannot do that. You understand? So, and then I was fighting with the idea. I did not want to do that. I was fighting with with the with the idea. Fighting. I could not sleep, you know? >> The idea of >> The idea of doing what what I just what I just did, you know, I didn't I want to do that truly, you know. But I get to a point where I could not get it because first of all she's going to leave in the house with my two kids. I don't know who that guy is whatsoever. I never heard about that guy, you know, but what what's in my mind if 1 month later you you you get divorced 1 month later you decide to marry the guy that relationship was there. >> Sure. It was there when you guys were together. >> You understand what I mean? >> Absolutely. >> That relationship was there. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You got to do something to do you get married to tomorrow. >> And I've been through a divorce. Okay, my ex-wife got everything too. Yeah. So I understand your feelings. Okay? >> Yeah. >> Sony continues explaining his actions and the investigator tells him that he's also been through a divorce and understands those emotions. But that understanding is part of keeping the conversation going because still need to separate Sony's explanation from what the evidence actually shows. >> Could you just walk me through today? >> Through >> Through what happened today? >> Yeah. What So what happened today and then since I heard that situation >> Mhm. >> I never sleep. I can't. I never sleep. Try to to talk to her. She blocked me in the phone. She she does She didn't want to talk to me whatsoever. If we have been together for 28 years, we have three kids. What's the matter? We can talk. Why? >> If you guys have kids, there has to be >> Why we cannot talk? >> [clears throat] >> You threw me like a piece of trash after 28 years together for someone who just meet. >> Yeah. >> You don't even know who that guy is. >> Right. >> This is not fair. What about our kids? >> Sure. >> You understand what I mean? And then when I get there today, I see her and her husband standing in front of the house of the house, they put a camera in front of the house, on the side. Meaning that putting the camera means that anytime I get closer to the house to talk to my to my to my kids, they want to to see me. Why you want to see me? I You You see what I mean? And then especially you, you don't know what I've been through with my wife. You just get there. You find You find my wife with everything she had. We've been fighting today.
