Killer Thriller with your host, Alisa Donovan.

Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Killer Thriller. We're jumping back into our conversation with

Cato Kalin, who ended up at the center of one of the biggest trials in history. From what that

night actually felt like to how it's been portrayed ever since, there is a lot more to unpack

with Cato, what he saw, what he lived through, and how he looks at all of it now.

What's the one misconception that drives you the craziest that people think, like, as a

public?

Yeah, I suppose, because I, it doesn't bother me anymore because I'm older and I'm very

secure, but back then, because I saw what the pain it cost my mom, my family, that there was this thing back in current affair that I was a drug dealer. I've never, and I say this. Oh my gosh, really? I've never even, and by the way, people will say it, I've never done a drug in my entire life. I swear to God, and people because I had long hair. So it was like, oh, man, I'm not, I was kind of like healthy.

Good Lord. I've never done a drug in my entire life. I swear to God, and people because I had long hair. So it was like, oh, man, I was kind of healthy. I had long, but it was true. I was like, okay. And if I have a beer that's rare, I have a, back then I, maybe a beer in a month. Now I can have a beer in a week or whatever. I just don't. I don't know.

That is amazing. But just it's not even, it's just like, oh my God, I'm not that. Right. That guy and people go, oh, I saw you. You did Coke and all that. I said, no, I never proved, prove something to me. That's got to be so frustrating. So people want to just say things. Yeah.

So it was, that would be the thing.

And I've got friends that do was, that would be the thing.

And I've got friends that do drugs and smoke pot all the time.

I have nothing against it's their thing. Right. So I'm still friends with them. Like it's not, it's not me. Right. Do you have, so you have a daughter. Yeah. How old's your daughter? My daughter now is, she doesn't want to tell her age.

Oh, she doesn't?

Okay, we don't have to.

Oh, she's, she's in her late 30s, late 30s.

That's, she's in her late 30s, late 30s. That doesn't seem possible that you could considering quite handsome, looks, Oh my God, she's in the car. She's in the car. Can I get there? But what does she think about all of this? She was, she's the greatest Tiffany. She's amazing. So when she's a kid during the trial, and I'd pick her up and not with her mom anymore, but I'd pick her up and all that. She thought it was kind of cool like that. I mean, because her teachers knew, the kids knew from that. And they thought, okay, it gives her some points. But I say Tiff, no, this is not good. And then the only bad part of it was I couldn't really even go out because at that time, it was on, it was like a, like a beetle mania, but people could go bad or me or good on me. And it was, it was crazy. I mean, where I lived, I had notes under the door. Then I had the TMZs were out there. It was, you have to put back in 94, 95. It was insane. Yeah. It was insane. Yeah. So. It was everything everywhere all the time. There was, it was just. I'm an extrovert. I became an introvert.
