Keith morrison: like, for example, this big tantalizing piece of puzzle, right here. what in heaven's name might an island in the far off pacific have to do with the shooting of john and susan sutton? coming up, trouble in paradise for a young christopher and his family. he was kidnapped in the middle of night, and he was 17 years old. we knew that christopher sutton had complained that he had been hogtied, beaten-- keith morrison: when "dateline" continues. what does life look like during your period? it's up to you, with tampax pearl. you get ultimate protection on your heaviest days and smo...

With susan and john sutton. i said, "look, susan really cared about you. she basically thought of you as a daughter. this woman didn't deserve to die like this. john doesn't certainly, you know, deserve to be blind the rest of his life. and i know for a fact garrett did this under the direction of christopher." finally, she started crying, and i go, "i think i may have her." keith morrison: with the tears came a story, what christopher had said to her that just might nail him for murder. the parents deserved to die for taking years out of his life. she said that this went on for years. she int...

Asked him a certain question. what did the defendant ask you? he asked me if i knew of any hit man that would kill his parents. karen kahgan: what reason or explanation did he give you? he said that his parents were worth about $500,000 to a million dollars. keith morrison: worth a lot more, actually. through his house, insurance, law practice, christopher stood to inherit millions. so was money a motive? or was it the stint at the boot camp in samoa? or both? detective belyeu told the jury he tried to find out when he questioned christopher. i said, "did you hate your parents that much?" kare...

But what you're about to see, as christopher described the program, probably wasn't in the defense strategy. a level two is allowed to go to the bathroom on his own, is allowed to have some more privileges. and then-- keith morrison: something in the memories on that island struck a nerve. bruce fleisher: how were you feeling, physically, during that time? i was what, i was, what they called, in denial. man: do you need a break? yeah. keith morrison: strange. stoic for the rest of his testimony, yet in the process of trying to dismiss samoa as a murder motive, he cried about his experience the...
