0:00.0	William Francis D. Silvestro the 4th, Billy to those who loved him most, was a 28 year old from
0:06.1	Hamilton, Ohio. He loved tattoos and talking about God. On February 7th, 2011, he got a ride to a friend's, one he hadn't seen in quite a while.
0:18.0	The friend claims they parted then he went to bed.
0:21.2	When he woke up, Billy was gone. He was never seen again. I met Denzel and this is
0:31.7	unfound. Oh, Nature or nurture, Are our demons without or within? Are people born bad or good? Or

2:04.0	Can something like those occasions be a combination of both nature and nurture?

2:17.0	But Billy had a problem. Alcohol. He would be a totally different person while drinking to the point where nobody wanted to be around him
2:25.8	It got him in trouble several times, but without it he was everybody's best friend
2:31.6	So was he a good guy or a not so good guy? I guess it just depended on
2:37.3	when you encountered him. But even so, as much as Billy's demon was alcohol.
