| 0:00.0 | Well, there's no other way to put it. I've seen a lot of dead bodies, been to a lot of |
| 0:14.0 | crime scenes, homicide scenes, uh, morgue visits during autopsy. And one thing I have wondered |
| 0:22.6 | over and over, I have no good answer. Why is it so often that the good people are the ones |
| 0:34.8 | that are killed, that are taking advantage of, that die young and alive, that are mistreated? |
| 0:40.3 | What is that? I don't know the answer to that, but I do know this, whoever killed, not expanter, |
| 0:52.6 | they're going down. So help me God in heaven. I mean, it's Egrace. This is Crime Stories. Thank |
| 0:59.8 | you for being with us here at Fox Nation and series XM 111. Listen to this. This is Jamie |
| 1:07.2 | Kennedy CBS 46. He took incredible care of his grandparents, never complaining, always put |
| 1:15.4 | others first. Family and those close to the painters described Knox Painter as a man with a huge |

| 1:56.7 | 90 years old, and I thank God every day that I'm the one that gets to take care of her. I don't |
| 2:03.1 | want to live in somewhere else. I want her with me. And I want to help her just the way she helped me |
| 2:08.5 | growing up. And that is who Knox Painter was, started to say is at just 24 years old to top it all |
| 2:19.2 | off. He survived childhood cancer only to be gunned down. Why? Again, this is cry of stories. Thank |
| 2:28.3 | you for being with us with me in all-star panel to make sense of what we know right now. Kirby |
