[dramatic music playing]
3
00:00:07,942 --> 00:00:09,908
[Darrell Sr.] She was always
so beautiful.
4
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:14,680
You know, just watching her.
5
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:19,852
I always loved giving
the flowers out to her.
6
00:00:19,854 --> 00:00:23,322
[Charlene speaking]
7
00:00:23,324 --> 00:00:25,591
The hearts and the candy.

[Charlene speaking]
9
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:30,129
[Shelbi] And we were just
having the time of our lives.
10
00:00:30,131 --> 00:00:33,165
[indistinct chatter]

[Charlene speaking]
12
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:40,439
Your life changes in a flash.
13
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:42,541
[Charlene] Oh!
14
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:43,709
[Darrell Sr. laughs]
15
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:47,112
Whole thing was just...
16
00:00:47,114 --> 00:00:48,514
a nightmare.
17
00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:49,615

20
00:00:53,254 --> 00:00:54,920
[Shelbi] You'd never
guess that...
21
00:00:54,922 --> 00:00:56,722
that this is how things
ended up.
22
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,526

[Mike] I like it.
27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,514
[narrator]
It's October 31st, 1994
28
00:01:22,516 --> 00:01:24,950
in Hudson, Wisconsin.
29
00:01:24,952 --> 00:01:26,919
26-year-old Darrell Wold
30
00:01:26,921 --> 00:01:29,088
and 27-year-old Charlene Bourne
31
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:30,956
are hosting a Halloween party.
32
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:35,360
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
33
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:37,029

34
00:01:37,031 --> 00:01:39,865
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
35
00:01:41,301 --> 00:01:43,602
[narrator] That's Darrell
dressed as Count Dracula.
36
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:46,638
Charlene is the one
wearing jeans
37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,108
and a fan of the opera-style
face mask.
38
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:50,943
I was gonna put on
a little fairy hand.
39
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:52,744
[Darrell Sr.] One of her
favorite holidays
40
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:54,346
was Halloween.
41
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:57,749
We'd have the decorations
in the yard
42
00:01:57,751 --> 00:02:01,420
and the whole Halloween theme.
43
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:05,557
The group that we hung around
44
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:07,326
was our four-wheel drive group.
45
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,194
It's called The Jeep Club.
46
00:02:10,096 --> 00:02:12,898
And we all liked to dress up.
47
00:02:14,033 --> 00:02:16,235
And we were a close group.
48
00:02:16,237 --> 00:02:17,369
[Charlene speaking]
49
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:20,572
[Darrell Sr.]
Charlene was the host,
50
00:02:20,574 --> 00:02:23,108
so she would get
the games going.
51
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:25,244
[Charlene speaking]
52
00:02:25,246 --> 00:02:27,446
[Darrell Sr.] The Halloween
party was to introduce
53
00:02:27,448 --> 00:02:29,314
everybody into...
54
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:30,716
into our new home.
55
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,118
[Charlene speaking]
56
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,721
- [Charlene screams]
- [laughter]
57
00:02:36,956 --> 00:02:38,257
[narrator]
Charlene and Darrell met
58
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:40,726
just under a year ago
here in Hudson,
59
00:02:40,728 --> 00:02:42,861
and they have been
together ever since.
60
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:46,198
[Darrell Sr.] She was such
a beautiful woman.
61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,501
She was just beautiful
inside as she was outside.
62
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:53,839
But it took a little while
to, like,
63
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:55,307
to get the nerve up to ask her
64
00:02:55,309 --> 00:02:59,311
to go get something to eat
or have some coffee.
65
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:02,648
We, like, clicked right away.
66
00:03:03,449 --> 00:03:05,651
We really loved the same music
67
00:03:06,686 --> 00:03:08,921
especially, like,
country music and older stuff.
68
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:13,225
It's like we didn't have to try.
69
00:03:13,227 --> 00:03:14,927
It was just...
It just happened,
70
00:03:14,929 --> 00:03:16,628
it just was there.
71
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:19,698
It was a dream come true.
72
00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:24,403
[narrator] Charlene
and Darrell are both
73
00:03:24,405 --> 00:03:25,971
recently divorced.
74
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:27,105
They each have a son
75
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:29,541
from their previous
relationships.
76
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:31,543
[Darrell Sr.]
Mine was Darrell Jr.
77
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:34,012
And Charlene's was Logan.
78
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,583
They were pretty similar in age
79
00:03:37,585 --> 00:03:39,318
at five and six.
80
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:43,488
[dramatic music playing]
81
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,824
[narrator] There's a reason
why Logan is bald.
82
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:48,060
He has a condition
called alopecia
83
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:50,395
that makes his hair fall out.
84
00:03:50,397 --> 00:03:52,497
[Darrell Sr.] Kids just think
you're different.
85
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:54,166
I mean, they all think
86
00:03:54,168 --> 00:03:57,035
you have cancer or something,
87
00:03:57,037 --> 00:04:00,606
and he's normal
besides his hair.
88
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:03,542
[Darrell Jr.] When you live
with the person,
89
00:04:03,544 --> 00:04:05,611
you don't see that he even
has a problem, you know.
90
00:04:05,613 --> 00:04:07,679
You don't...
You don't really know.
91
00:04:09,148 --> 00:04:11,516
[narrator] Logan's hair loss
makes him self-conscious
92
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:13,285
and shy around others.
93
00:04:13,287 --> 00:04:16,221
But not around his family.
94
00:04:16,223 --> 00:04:18,390
[Darrell Jr.] He was always,
you know, just Logan
95
00:04:18,392 --> 00:04:21,093
and just a brother.
96
00:04:21,095 --> 00:04:22,861
I got to know him really well,
97
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:25,297
and we did a lot together
as stepbrothers.
98
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:31,336
[Charlene speaking]
99
00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:32,404
[Darrell Jr.] Go ahead.
100
00:04:32,406 --> 00:04:33,705
[Charlene speaking]
101
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:35,974
[narrator]
It's Christmas, 1994.
102
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:37,342
[Charlene speaking]
103
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:40,912
[narrator] Darrell sets up
the camera on a tripod
104
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:43,815
to capture the action
of Christmas morning.
105
00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:44,816
[Logan sneezes]
106
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,952
[Charlene] Thank you
very much, boys.
107
00:04:46,954 --> 00:04:49,421
It's our, uh,
first Christmas together
108
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,224
with the... with the boys.
109
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:55,827
[Logan speaking]
110
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:57,162
I wanna put...
111
00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,567
[Darrell Jr.] Christmas
when I was little was...
112
00:05:02,569 --> 00:05:03,769
It was fun.
113
00:05:03,771 --> 00:05:06,705
Um, Logan and I always got
114
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:09,374
pretty much everything
we always asked for.
115
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:11,276
It was always, you know,
116
00:05:11,278 --> 00:05:13,679
the big huge tree decorated.
117
00:05:13,681 --> 00:05:15,213
[Darrell Jr. speaking]
118
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:19,084
Those were always
really happy times.
119
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:21,620
[indistinct chatter]
120
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,523
[Darrell Jr.] That's Mom's
in here.
121
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,893
[dramatic music playing]
122
00:05:27,895 --> 00:05:29,795
[narrator] In June 1995,
123
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:32,497
Charlene and Darrell
made things official.
124
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,232
[Darrell Sr.] We went
to our local church
125
00:05:34,234 --> 00:05:35,600
that we belong to.
126
00:05:35,602 --> 00:05:39,271
And then, we had a wonderful
party afterwards.
127
00:05:40,473 --> 00:05:41,773
[narrator]
Charlene and Darrell settle
128
00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:43,141
into married life.
129
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:45,410
And enroll Logan
into a wrestling team
130
00:05:45,412 --> 00:05:47,646
to help with his confidence.
131
00:05:51,317 --> 00:05:53,485
[Darrell Sr.]
Hudson had a wonderful
132
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:55,654
youth wrestling program.
133
00:05:55,656 --> 00:05:58,056
It... And it was a big step
for Logan,
134
00:05:58,058 --> 00:05:59,791
but it fit him, he was...
135
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:01,360
He had the strength.
136
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:04,162
Oh, there you go.
137
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:08,834
[narrator] Charlene captures
his bouts on video.
138
00:06:08,836 --> 00:06:11,870
[Charlene speaking]
139
00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:14,773
[Darrell Jr.] When Charlene
had the camera,
140
00:06:14,775 --> 00:06:16,742
usually you didn't get to see
141
00:06:16,744 --> 00:06:18,510
what was actually going on.
142
00:06:19,512 --> 00:06:21,947
[Charlene speaking]
143
00:06:21,949 --> 00:06:23,014
Yeah!
144
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:24,282
[Darrell Jr.]
Because she was either
145
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:27,252
yelling or screaming
or... or, you know,
146
00:06:27,254 --> 00:06:29,988
just trying to cheer you on
to do something.
147
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:32,391
[Charlene] Get him, Logan.
148
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:36,128
[cheering]
149
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:38,430
[Charlene] They're giving him
some advice.
150
00:06:38,432 --> 00:06:40,732
[narrator] Today,
Logan's biological father,
151
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,934
Dan Reese, is a spectator.
152
00:06:44,837 --> 00:06:46,972
He drove 70 miles from his home
153
00:06:46,974 --> 00:06:49,207
in Webster, Wisconsin
to cheer on his son.
154
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:53,779
[Darrell Jr.]
Logan, when his dad
155
00:06:53,781 --> 00:06:54,713
would come around,
156
00:06:54,715 --> 00:06:56,581
he was happy,
157
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:58,417
he loved his dad a lot.
158
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:00,952
[laughs]
159
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:04,923
[narrator] Charlene's
relationship with Logan's dad
160
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,458
is more complicated.
161
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:09,995
[Darrell Sr.]
Dan was 17 years older
162
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:11,062
than Charlene.
163
00:07:12,231 --> 00:07:13,832
He was controlling.
164
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:15,801
And that's what separated them.
165
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:19,638
She put a restraining order,
166
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,174
so he couldn't come
towards the house
167
00:07:22,176 --> 00:07:23,608
or be around us.
168
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:25,143
Just because he wanted for her
169
00:07:25,145 --> 00:07:26,745
to come back to him.
170
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:31,149
He didn't want to...
171
00:07:31,151 --> 00:07:33,084
deal with losing her.
172
00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:36,455
He couldn't handle us
being together.
173
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:42,260
He quit his work,
174
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:45,297
and then moved an hour
and a half away
175
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:48,533
just so he didn't have
to bump into us.
176
00:07:50,269 --> 00:07:52,204
[narrator] Charlene and Dan
are still fighting
177
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:53,738
over where Logan should live.
178
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,508
But she tries
to keep things civil
179
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:57,676
for the sake of her son.
180
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:02,914
[Darrell Sr.] Logan felt
very connected with his dad.
181
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:06,651
And that's what a father-son,
you know, needs,
182
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:07,719
is that connection.
183
00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:10,755
[suspenseful music playing]
184
00:08:12,525 --> 00:08:15,527
[dramatic music playing]
185
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:18,430
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
186
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:21,066
[Darrell Sr.] Mine
and Logan's relationship
187
00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:23,502
was tricky at first.
188
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,341
[Logan speaking]
189
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:31,276
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
190
00:08:31,278 --> 00:08:32,777
[Logan speaking]
191
00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:35,747
To go into a relationship
where it's,
192
00:08:35,749 --> 00:08:39,417
you have stepchildren
is really... is really tough.
193
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:45,423
They have their own mother
and father, you know?
194
00:08:45,425 --> 00:08:48,994
So, you really can't step
your boundaries.
195
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:55,700
- [Logan] I don't expect.
- [Darrell Sr. speaking]
196
00:08:57,436 --> 00:08:59,404
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
197
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,075
[narrator] But Logan
and the two Darrells
198
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:06,678
soon bond over a shared passion.
199
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:11,616
[engine revving]
200
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,520
[Darrell Jr.] We would go
to the racetrack
201
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:17,956
when Dad used to run
the race trucks.
202
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:20,792
[engine revving]
203
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:23,595
[Darrell Jr.] I would say
being a gearhead
204
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:25,730
is definitely in the Wold DNA.
205
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:29,100
[dramatic music playing]
206
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:31,269
[Darrell Sr.] Logan did
go-kart racing
207
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:32,437
when he was young,
208
00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:34,472
that his dad got him into.
209
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:39,911
[narrator] Logan quickly
develops a need for speed.
210
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:42,948
[Charlene speaking]
211
00:09:44,884 --> 00:09:46,284
[engine revving]
212
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:48,286
[narrator] There's Logan
in car number one,
213
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:51,022
weaving through
the other racers.
214
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:53,291
[Darrell Jr.] I remember
we would go watch him
215
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:55,894
and he would do really well.
216
00:09:58,364 --> 00:10:01,166
He finally found something
he could really enjoy
217
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:02,133
on his own.
218
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:06,004
It really did push him
out of his shell
219
00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:08,673
and really gave him
something to do.
220
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:10,942
It made him happy.
221
00:10:14,914 --> 00:10:17,916
[Charlene speaking]
222
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:21,553
[narrator] The blended
Wold family settles
223
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:23,254
into their new life together.
224
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,858
And it's about to welcome
a brand new member.
225
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:30,629
By Christmas 1996,
226
00:10:30,631 --> 00:10:33,865
Charlene is
eight months pregnant.
227
00:10:33,867 --> 00:10:36,668
[Darrell Sr.] We were excited
for this little person
228
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:38,169
to come in the world,
229
00:10:38,171 --> 00:10:40,305
being ours together.
230
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:43,341
[dramatic music playing]
231
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:52,183
[Charlene] Oh, hi.
232
00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:54,452
[narrator] It's January 1997
233
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:56,888
and the latest addition
to the Wold family
234
00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:58,390
has finally arrived.
235
00:10:59,291 --> 00:11:01,259
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
236
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:02,427
Here.
237
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:07,499
[Darrell Sr.] The joy
of having Shelbi born
238
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:10,301
was like...
"We have a girl."
239
00:11:11,971 --> 00:11:14,039
A little bit.
240
00:11:14,041 --> 00:11:16,708
That was a joyful time
241
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,276
in our life.
242
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:21,312
[Charlene speaking]
243
00:11:25,051 --> 00:11:27,585
[Logan speaking]
244
00:11:27,587 --> 00:11:30,155
[Charlene speaking]
245
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:34,492
[Charlene speaking]
246
00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:37,962
[Darrell Sr.] Logan and
Darrell seemed to grow up
247
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:39,431
during that time.
248
00:11:39,433 --> 00:11:41,099
They were good helpers.
249
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:43,435
[Charlene speaking]
250
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:49,708
[Shelbi] Logan was
the kind of older brother
251
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:53,078
that was always my protector.
252
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:55,380
[Charlene speaking]
253
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,222
[Shelbi] It was, like,
do everything at all cost
254
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,224
to protect Shelbi.
255
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,160
I think to him,
256
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:12,030
that was such an important role.
257
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:14,432
[Charlene speaking]
258
00:12:16,368 --> 00:12:20,004
[Shelbi] He, you know,
was a... was a caregiver.
259
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:20,972
[Shelbi speaking]
260
00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:22,807
[Charlene] Woohoo.
261
00:12:22,809 --> 00:12:24,375
[Logan speaking]
262
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,544
[Shelbi] He really took it
upon himself
263
00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:28,646
to be, kind of, my person.
264
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:30,448
[Shelbi speaking]
265
00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:32,250
[Charlene laughs]
266
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:38,256
[narrator] The Wold boys
start a new school year
267
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:40,225
in August 1997.
268
00:12:45,464 --> 00:12:47,031
[Logan speaking]
269
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:52,170
[indistinct]
270
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:56,608
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
271
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,511
Logan had a tough time
going to school
272
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:01,513
because of his hair.
273
00:13:01,515 --> 00:13:03,748
[Charlene speaking]
274
00:13:07,086 --> 00:13:09,454
Darrell Jr. is a little
more outgoing.
275
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,491
[Darrell Jr.] I can...
I can talk to anybody
276
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:15,160
on the... on the street
and, you know,
277
00:13:15,162 --> 00:13:17,762
you just try to find ways
to be friends with them
278
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,497
or find things in common.
279
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,501
Like, he was pretty much
280
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:24,836
the complete opposite.
281
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:29,307
I don't remember him
ever having any friends
282
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:30,308
other than me.
283
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:32,110
[Charlene] Cheese.
284
00:13:32,112 --> 00:13:33,244
Okay, one more.
285
00:13:33,246 --> 00:13:34,412
[narrator] A few years later,
286
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:36,548
Logan loses daily contact
287
00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:37,816
with his only friend.
288
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:41,486
[Darrell Jr.] When I was 10
is when I moved
289
00:13:41,488 --> 00:13:43,655
to my mom's house
290
00:13:43,657 --> 00:13:45,590
and I wasn't
at my dad's anymore.
291
00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:49,794
[Shelbi] For Logan,
it was difficult
292
00:13:49,796 --> 00:13:52,397
because it was like
he lost a brother,
293
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,266
and, um, somebody that
he was able to connect with.
294
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:58,336
[dramatic music playing]
295
00:14:01,006 --> 00:14:03,208
[narrator] A new arrival
fills the void
296
00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:04,542
in Logan's life.
297
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,879
[Darrell Sr. speaking]
298
00:14:07,881 --> 00:14:09,714
[Shelbi] In 1999,
my little brother,
299
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:11,349
Sterling, was born.
300
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:13,318
Yeah, yeah, he's got it...
Oh, yeah.
301
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,821
[dramatic music playing]
302
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:18,456
[Darrell Sr.]
It's a wonderful moment
303
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:21,059
to watch it afterwards,
304
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:24,362
and see how special
they really are
305
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,598
when they're brand new
like that.
306
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,867
[Charlene] The baby
home now, honey.
307
00:14:31,937 --> 00:14:34,205
[Darrell Sr.] Having Sterling
made our family
308
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:36,741
as even more as one.
309
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:42,313
[Shelbi] I remember
being extremely jealous
310
00:14:42,315 --> 00:14:44,315
because at that point in time,
311
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:47,085
I was the youngest
and, you know,
312
00:14:47,087 --> 00:14:48,486
was sort of the center
of attention.
313
00:14:48,488 --> 00:14:50,922
[Charlene speaking]
314
00:14:50,924 --> 00:14:52,123
[Shelbi speaking]
315
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:54,392
[Logan] Sterling said,
"It's my powder."
316
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,729
[Charlene speaking]
317
00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:08,840
[Shelbi] Logan really enjoyed
318
00:15:08,842 --> 00:15:11,743
having another
little mini me around
319
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,978
to sort of follow him
and look up to him.
320
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:17,715
[Darrell Sr.] He was
a really good big brother.
321
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:19,918
He would do anything for them
322
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,186
and loved to help out Charlene.
323
00:15:23,489 --> 00:15:25,423
[Charlene speaking]
324
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:26,658
[Logan speaking]
325
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:29,227
[suspenseful music playing]
326
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,332
[Charlene speaking]
327
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:36,868
[narrator] But the dynamic
of the Wold family
328
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:39,604
- is starting to change.
- [Charlene speaking]
329
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:40,872
[Darrell Sr.] The older kids,
kind of,
330
00:15:40,874 --> 00:15:44,208
got put on the sidelines
331
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:46,744
because they were...
they were so much older.
332
00:15:46,746 --> 00:15:50,281
[Charlene speaking]
333
00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:53,484
[Darrell Sr.] We were
more centered on...
334
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,120
Sad thing to say,
we were centered
335
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:58,189
on Shelbi and in Sterling.
336
00:15:59,224 --> 00:16:00,758
[Charlene speaking]
337
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:03,561
[Shelbi speaking]
338
00:16:03,563 --> 00:16:05,129
[Charlene speaking]
339
00:16:06,332 --> 00:16:07,865
[narrator] At the age of 12,
340
00:16:07,867 --> 00:16:10,568
Logan makes a big decision.
341
00:16:10,570 --> 00:16:12,370
[Darrell Sr.] Logan went
to live with his dad.
342
00:16:14,573 --> 00:16:16,507
He did everything for Logan...
343
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,444
almost in the wrong way.
344
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:22,814
[Shelbi] When he was
with his dad,
345
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:25,650
he sort of got to do
whatever he wanted.
346
00:16:25,652 --> 00:16:27,518
Sort of, I guess you could say
347
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,120
maybe every kid's dream.
348
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,726
[narrator] Logan's absence
devastates Charlene.
349
00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:37,962
[Darrell Sr.] It hurt her
a lot,
350
00:16:37,964 --> 00:16:40,465
but a son needs his dad in a...
351
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:43,001
And that's the way
she would see it.
352
00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:45,570
[Shelbi] For us as kids,
353
00:16:45,572 --> 00:16:48,039
Logan leaving was...
354
00:16:48,041 --> 00:16:49,874
It was really hard
because Sterling and I
355
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:51,576
both idolized him,
we followed him.
356
00:16:51,578 --> 00:16:55,013
[Charlene] Sterling. Here.
357
00:16:55,114 --> 00:16:57,648
[narrator] Logan's visits home
become less frequent
358
00:16:57,650 --> 00:16:59,150
during his early teens.
359
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:03,988
[indistinct chatter]
360
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,323
[Darrell Sr.] And he wasn't
really even
361
00:17:05,325 --> 00:17:07,025
being raised by Dan.
362
00:17:08,727 --> 00:17:10,361
Dan, when he didn't drink,
363
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:12,430
he was just
a wonderful person and dad,
364
00:17:12,432 --> 00:17:13,831
but when he drank,
365
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,667
he wasn't as nice.
366
00:17:18,804 --> 00:17:22,774
[Shelbi] Logan got to do
a lot more of what he wanted.
367
00:17:22,776 --> 00:17:26,811
He got to run wild
and just do whatever.
368
00:17:29,748 --> 00:17:32,583
[Charlene speaking]
369
00:17:32,585 --> 00:17:34,619
[Charlene laughs]
370
00:17:34,621 --> 00:17:36,120
[Darrell Sr.] At that point,
Charlene was
371
00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:38,022
really missing Logan.
372
00:17:38,024 --> 00:17:41,759
[Charlene speaking]
373
00:17:41,761 --> 00:17:43,061
[Shelbi] When Logan was away,
374
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:46,531
my mom was always
very, very sad.
375
00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:49,801
She felt she could really be
the only person
376
00:17:49,803 --> 00:17:52,804
that really truly
understood him.
377
00:17:52,806 --> 00:17:54,205
[narrator] And when Logan
comes to visit
378
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:55,873
for the holidays,
379
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:58,009
Charlene is more determined
than ever
380
00:17:58,011 --> 00:18:00,111
to keep her son in her life.
381
00:18:00,113 --> 00:18:01,779
[Charlene speaking]
382
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:06,551
- I got a little tissue.
- [Charlene speaking]
383
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:14,392
[dramatic music playing]
384
00:18:14,394 --> 00:18:16,160
[narrator] In the fall of 2003,
385
00:18:16,162 --> 00:18:18,062
Charlene drives 70 miles
386
00:18:18,064 --> 00:18:20,865
to Logan's School
in Webster, Wisconsin.
387
00:18:23,802 --> 00:18:26,971
[Shelbi] My mom would set up
these times
388
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:29,107
that she would be able
to see Logan
389
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,008
without his dad knowing.
390
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:37,782
[Charlene speaking]
391
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:40,118
[Charlene laughs]
392
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,354
[Sterling speaking]
393
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:44,789
[Shelbi] It's really important
for her to,
394
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:47,592
you know, be able to check in
on her baby
395
00:18:47,594 --> 00:18:50,094
and make sure
that he's getting the care
396
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:51,796
that he genuinely needed.
397
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:54,699
[Charlene speaking]
398
00:18:54,701 --> 00:18:57,168
[narrator] Charlene brings
along four-year-old Sterling
399
00:18:57,170 --> 00:18:59,570
and she films the reunion
for Sister Shelbi.
400
00:19:00,272 --> 00:19:02,940
[Charlene speaking]
401
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:04,275
[Sterling] Open it.
402
00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:06,277
[Shelbi] It was the opportunity
403
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,379
to show Logan really how much
404
00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:11,382
our family loved him
and needed him.
405
00:19:11,384 --> 00:19:14,085
[Charlene speaking]
406
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:17,889
[Logan] Me, too.
407
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:21,526
[Sterling giggles]
408
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:24,061
[Shelbi] Oh, she's crying.
409
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:28,266
She's so happy
to finally see Logan.
410
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:29,967
[Logan laughs]
411
00:19:29,969 --> 00:19:31,469
[Charlene] Oh, I miss you.
412
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:36,774
[dramatic music playing]
413
00:19:36,776 --> 00:19:38,176
[narrator]
After Charlene's visit,
414
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:40,511
Logan makes a trip home
to see his family.
415
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:44,715
[Charlene speaking]
416
00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:49,320
[Shelbi]
He was her everything.
417
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:51,022
She would go out of her way
418
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:53,791
to do absolutely
anything for him.
419
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,093
I do remember, you know,
420
00:19:56,095 --> 00:19:59,096
my mom really hyping up
the days or the weekends
421
00:19:59,098 --> 00:20:01,165
that Logan was gonna
be coming home
422
00:20:01,167 --> 00:20:02,433
to spend some time with us.
423
00:20:03,001 --> 00:20:06,003
[Charlene speaking]
424
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,944
[Shelbi] Dan purposefully
made it
425
00:20:12,946 --> 00:20:16,881
very, very difficult
for my mom to see Logan.
426
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:19,951
[narrator] But Charlene is
determined to win Logan back
427
00:20:19,953 --> 00:20:22,653
even as her health deteriorates.
428
00:20:24,356 --> 00:20:27,792
[Shelbi] She did have quite
a few health struggles...
429
00:20:27,794 --> 00:20:30,861
[indistinct chatter]
430
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:34,565
[Shelbi] ...and all of these,
kind of,
431
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,567
resulted in a lot of surgeries.
432
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:37,668
And then, of course, afterward,
433
00:20:37,670 --> 00:20:38,836
there was a lot of...
434
00:20:38,838 --> 00:20:40,137
a lot of pain and soreness,
435
00:20:40,139 --> 00:20:43,207
and so she did end up
needing painkillers
436
00:20:43,209 --> 00:20:45,176
of all different sorts.
437
00:20:48,313 --> 00:20:50,214
[Sterling speaking]
438
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:52,717
[Charlene laughs]
439
00:20:52,719 --> 00:20:55,152
[narrator]
Logan spends Christmas 2004
440
00:20:55,154 --> 00:20:56,687
at the Wold house.
441
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:58,956
The family sees
that he too is suffering
442
00:20:58,958 --> 00:21:01,092
with serious health issues.
443
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:02,460
[Shelbi] He did have
a lot of struggles
444
00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:04,161
with his hearing
and with his ear,
445
00:21:04,163 --> 00:21:07,531
and he had multiple surgeries
that were done
446
00:21:07,533 --> 00:21:09,433
to repair his hearing
447
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:11,836
and drain fluid
and stuff like that.
448
00:21:11,838 --> 00:21:13,504
[Sterling speaking]
449
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:15,573
[Charlene laughs]
450
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:18,409
[Shelbi]
After he had surgeries,
451
00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:20,444
he would be provided
painkillers as well.
452
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:25,516
[narrator] Charlene becomes
increasingly concerned
453
00:21:25,518 --> 00:21:26,917
about Logan's well-being.
454
00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:32,590
[Darrell Sr.] And then so,
he'd get sick after that,
455
00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:34,659
and then he'd come over.
456
00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:36,494
So, medically-wise,
457
00:21:36,496 --> 00:21:39,196
he needed to be watched
and helped.
458
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:44,368
He's 14, 15 at this age,
459
00:21:44,370 --> 00:21:48,205
and he's taking pain pills.
460
00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:54,378
He's throwing up,
he's taking more pain pills.
461
00:21:56,048 --> 00:21:59,750
And over a certain amount
of days,
462
00:21:59,752 --> 00:22:01,686
his liver's starting to fail.
463
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:05,122
We almost lose him.
464
00:22:07,125 --> 00:22:08,959
[Shelbi] Wait, I told you.
465
00:22:08,961 --> 00:22:10,194
[narrator]
It's the wake-up call
466
00:22:10,196 --> 00:22:12,697
that finally convinces Logan
to come home
467
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:13,998
and live with Charlene
and Darrell.
468
00:22:15,033 --> 00:22:17,335
[laughter]
469
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:18,736
[Charlene] Hold Sterling.
470
00:22:18,738 --> 00:22:20,237
[Charlene speaking]
471
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,340
[Sterling speaking]
472
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:26,210
No. [laughs]
473
00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:28,112
[Shelbi] Logan coming home
was, like,
474
00:22:28,114 --> 00:22:31,482
winning this battle
that she had been fighting
475
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:33,184
for the past year and a half.
476
00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:36,821
[Charlene speaking]
477
00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:39,857
[Shelbi] She was so happy
to finally have him back.
478
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:45,629
[narrator] But in 2005,
Logan receives news
479
00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:47,264
that shatters his world.
480
00:22:49,434 --> 00:22:52,737
Logan was just getting back
into our lives.
481
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:55,272
His dad committed suicide.
482
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:02,213
[Shelbi] He had a lot
of his own personal struggles
483
00:23:02,215 --> 00:23:04,181
that he was dealing with,
484
00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:07,418
and Logan's dad
485
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:09,720
shot himself.
486
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,566
I remember Logan
at his dad's funeral,
487
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:26,003
and just the look
in his eyes of,
488
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,706
"What am I gonna do?"
You know,
489
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:30,641
"What am I
supposed to do now?"
490
00:23:33,044 --> 00:23:34,145
[Darrell Sr.]
It was really tough
491
00:23:34,147 --> 00:23:36,046
to see him go through that.
492
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:43,721
[suspenseful music playing]
493
00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:51,896
[Shelbi] Logan grieved
really by drinking.
494
00:23:51,898 --> 00:23:56,200
That was, kind of,
his coping method
495
00:23:56,202 --> 00:23:59,537
and really keeping to himself.
496
00:24:01,072 --> 00:24:03,140
[narrator] Logan,
now 18 years old
497
00:24:03,142 --> 00:24:05,376
is struggling to keep
his life in balance.
498
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,613
[Darrell Sr.] His mother
got him on disability.
499
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:14,251
So, that wasn't a good thing.
500
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,422
He could have still did things.
501
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:22,059
The prescription pills
were starting to happen more.
502
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,330
Me and Charlene thought,
well Logan,
503
00:24:26,332 --> 00:24:29,300
he's stuck in his room
doing video games.
504
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:34,271
[Shelbi] My mom was a bit
more understanding
505
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:36,474
as to why Logan
didn't have a job because she,
506
00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,109
kind of, understood
his health issues.
507
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:41,712
For my dad, I would say
508
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,714
it was definitely
really, really hard.
509
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:46,417
So, that definitely created
some tension.
510
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:54,625
[narrator] By 2014,
Shelbi and Sterling
511
00:24:54,627 --> 00:24:57,228
are in their late teens,
and they have grown apart
512
00:24:57,230 --> 00:24:58,863
from big brother, Logan.
513
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,366
[Shelbi]
In Logan's adult life,
514
00:25:02,368 --> 00:25:06,370
he really didn't go out
of his way to make friends,
515
00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:08,072
he really kept to himself.
516
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:14,345
I remember being a bit sad
because Logan
517
00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:16,747
was really no longer this person
518
00:25:16,749 --> 00:25:19,149
that we wanted to follow
and look up to.
519
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:26,457
[Charlene speaking]
520
00:25:26,459 --> 00:25:28,759
[narrator] On a family
vacation to Montana,
521
00:25:28,761 --> 00:25:31,128
Logan hangs back
while Shelbi and Sterling
522
00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:33,130
jump off a bridge.
523
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:35,599
Sterling's new girlfriend,
McKenna Anderson
524
00:25:35,601 --> 00:25:37,535
waits her turn
to join in the fun.
525
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,238
[McKenna] When I first
met Sterling's family,
526
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,941
I met Charlene first,
and she, you know,
527
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:46,176
she greeted me
with arms wide open.
528
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:49,480
[Shelbi]
Sterling brought McKenna
529
00:25:49,482 --> 00:25:53,551
into our family's life,
and she was, like,
530
00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:55,352
the sister that I never had.
531
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:59,056
[Charlene speaking]
532
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:02,860
Awesome.
533
00:26:02,862 --> 00:26:04,828
[Darrell Sr.]
McKenna moved in with us.
534
00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:08,432
It was quite a...
quite a change.
535
00:26:10,001 --> 00:26:12,036
[narrator] The new addition
to the Wold household
536
00:26:12,038 --> 00:26:15,105
makes 26-year-old Logan
think about his future.
537
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:18,943
[Darrell Sr.] Logan moved out
at that time
538
00:26:18,945 --> 00:26:21,545
and got his apartment
in Glenwood City.
539
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,684
He was taking care
of himself as an adult.
540
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:31,155
[Shelbi] My mom and dad got him
541
00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:34,325
this white Pontiac as a gift.
542
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:38,128
[narrator] But Logan's
newfound independence
543
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:39,096
is short-lived.
544
00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:42,900
He'd come all the time over,
545
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,936
but as always,
when he needed something.
546
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:52,676
Logan still needed
financial help
547
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:56,981
that Charlene was sneaking in
and giving him,
548
00:26:56,983 --> 00:26:58,949
and we were starting
to butt heads,
549
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:02,119
and it didn't help
our relationship at all.
550
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:05,389
[Shelbi] He was really,
kind of, tired
551
00:27:05,391 --> 00:27:08,592
of people telling him
how he should live
552
00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:11,862
and what the right way
to live is.
553
00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:16,266
I think he really just wanted
to shut the whole world out.
554
00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:18,202
We didn't know what was going on
555
00:27:18,204 --> 00:27:19,803
in Logan's head.

[Jim] McKenna advises
that Darrell Wold
568
00:27:57,209 --> 00:28:02,112
came out of the house
after being stabbed by Logan,

00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:05,315
Sterling, McKenna,
570
00:28:05,317 --> 00:28:07,751

[911 operator speaking]
577

Deputies from the St. Croix

County Sheriff's Office
arrived at the Wold's home.
579
00:28:41,219 --> 00:28:45,322
[Jim] They immediately see
spots of blood on the floor.
580

[911 operator speaking]
581
00:28:51,863 --> 00:28:53,063
[Jim] They're at high alert.
582
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:55,933
They're going into a situation
583
00:28:55,935 --> 00:28:58,302
believing that the suspect
is in the house.
584
00:28:58,304 --> 00:29:00,003
The suspect is armed.
585
00:29:00,005 --> 00:29:01,638
The suspect is dangerous.
586
00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:08,145
They make their way upstairs
587
00:29:08,147 --> 00:29:09,346
and in a back bedroom.
588
00:29:10,882 --> 00:29:12,516
They encounter Charlene.
589
00:29:15,553 --> 00:29:17,454
She was... She was stabbed
in the back.
590
00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:22,893
She also had several
stab wounds in her...
591
00:29:22,895 --> 00:29:24,161
in her facial area.
592
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:31,468
[narrator] Medics fight
to save Charlene's life.
593
00:29:36,541 --> 00:29:38,308
[Jim] The deputies continue
to clear the house
594
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:40,544
and they were unable
to locate Logan.
595
00:29:40,546 --> 00:29:41,779
And then, they meet up
596
00:29:41,781 --> 00:29:43,514
with the people
inside the garage.
597
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:46,750
[Darrell Sr.]
Finally, they came.
598
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,722
They asked me where is Logan.
599
00:29:53,358 --> 00:29:57,027
I said,
"Is the white Pontiac there?"
600
00:29:57,029 --> 00:30:00,864
Says, "No, that's gone."
I said, "He left. He's gone."
601
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:05,769
[narrator]
Darrell tells investigators
602
00:30:05,771 --> 00:30:07,971
what happened to him
earlier that evening.
603
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:13,277
[Darrell Sr.]
I just heard a scream.

00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:15,112
[Charlene screams]
605
00:30:15,114 --> 00:30:17,047
[Darrell Sr.]
Bad, deathly scream.
606
00:30:20,251 --> 00:30:22,119
My feet hit the floor.
607
00:30:22,121 --> 00:30:27,491
I was up out of bed,
and I opened the door
608
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:33,096
and Logan's standing
in front of the door
609
00:30:34,999 --> 00:30:36,633
with a knife.
610
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:42,806
And stabbed me
611
00:30:42,808 --> 00:30:45,909
right in the side of my face.
612
00:30:49,013 --> 00:30:51,715
I mean, it's like,
613
00:30:52,417 --> 00:30:53,617
"What's going on?"
614
00:30:56,221 --> 00:30:58,622
You know,
I'm bleeding everywhere.
615
00:31:00,458 --> 00:31:02,893
I can't even protect myself.
616
00:31:04,929 --> 00:31:06,563
[narrator]
Darrell runs downstairs
617
00:31:06,565 --> 00:31:08,098
to look for his son, Sterling.
618
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,001
[Darrell Sr.]
I can't find him.
619
00:31:13,571 --> 00:31:15,939
And Logan comes back,
620
00:31:18,243 --> 00:31:21,845
and he's got the safe
621
00:31:21,847 --> 00:31:25,482
where Charlene puts
her prescription pills in,
622
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:30,120
telling me to open it.
623
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:35,192
And I'm like, no,
and he threw it at me.
624
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:43,400
[narrator] Darrell staggers
to the garage
625
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:45,535
and finds Sterling and McKenna.
626
00:31:48,072 --> 00:31:49,706
[McKenna] He was just
covered in blood,
627
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:51,241
and we were so confused.
628
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:54,678
And I remember Darrell
just sitting there
629
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,881
saying, "Sterling,
your brother just stabbed me."
630
00:32:00,118 --> 00:32:01,685
[narrator]
Sterling races into the house
631
00:32:01,687 --> 00:32:02,953
to look for his mom.
632
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:09,259
But he finds Logan instead.
633
00:32:13,898 --> 00:32:18,835
[Darrell Sr.] He came back out
with a big bleeding knot
634
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:20,237
on the top of his head
635
00:32:20,239 --> 00:32:22,172
from getting struck
by a pool cue.
636
00:32:26,844 --> 00:32:28,979
And he says, "Dad,
637
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:32,082
I hit him with the pool cue
so hard,
638
00:32:33,584 --> 00:32:36,320
he didn't even...
It didn't even faze him."
639
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:42,359
He says, "I didn't see mom.
640
00:32:43,861 --> 00:32:45,562
I didn't see her."
641
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:51,802
[narrator] Tracking down
28-year-old Logan Reese
642
00:32:51,804 --> 00:32:54,137
is investigators' top priority.
643
00:32:56,908 --> 00:33:00,310
At 12:45 AM,
911 dispatch reports
644
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:03,046
a fire at an apartment
in Glenwood City,
645
00:33:03,048 --> 00:33:04,881
35 miles east of Hudson.
646
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:08,218
[Dean] Logan has an apartment
in Glenwood City,
647
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,354
that apartment is now on fire.
648
00:33:10,356 --> 00:33:13,290
So now, we have crime scene
number two.
649
00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:17,394
[police speaking]
650
00:33:23,601 --> 00:33:25,302
[Dean] Law enforcement, and EMS,
651
00:33:25,304 --> 00:33:26,970
and fire arrived there.
652
00:33:27,805 --> 00:33:29,406
Logan is not there.
653
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:33,210
There's a few firearms
still laying
654
00:33:33,212 --> 00:33:35,912
inside the apartment complex.
655
00:33:35,914 --> 00:33:38,248
So, obviously, at that time,
the concerns
656
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:40,550
were what... what were
his intentions.
657
00:33:42,387 --> 00:33:45,422
[narrator] At 1:15 AM
a Woodville police officer
658
00:33:45,424 --> 00:33:49,059

He pulls out.
663
00:33:59,270 --> 00:34:00,570
All of a sudden, he's shot upon.

[police speaking]
665
00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:07,177

676
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:37,507

for anyone's life at this point.
678
00:34:41,312 --> 00:34:43,113

[911 operator speaking]
680
00:34:46,018 --> 00:34:48,919

681
00:34:48,921 --> 00:34:51,421
And I hope
that it ends peacefully
682
00:34:51,423 --> 00:34:53,190
without anybody getting hurt.

Forty miles away in Hudson,

00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:02,532
the Wold family waits for news

00:35:02,534 --> 00:35:06,336
about the condition
of Logan's mom, Charlene.
687
00:35:06,338 --> 00:35:10,073
[Darrell Jr.] And when I got
to the hospital,
688
00:35:10,075 --> 00:35:13,577
and seeing my dad,
and his eye was cut open,
689
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:18,014
and he was crying,
and he was really worried
690
00:35:18,016 --> 00:35:20,617
about, you know,
where is Charlene
691
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:21,751
and what happened to her.
692
00:35:23,754 --> 00:35:25,355
[Shelbi] Finally,
one of the nurses comes by
693
00:35:25,357 --> 00:35:28,258
and says, "I'm so sorry,
694
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:30,760
but based off
on what I've heard,
695
00:35:30,762 --> 00:35:32,229
it doesn't sound
like your mom made it."
696
00:35:37,201 --> 00:35:40,537
[Darrell Sr.] It was like
we were watching a movie.
697
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:45,142
You'd never ever imagine
698
00:35:47,411 --> 00:35:49,813
a son would take
his mother's life.
699
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:54,751
You know, it's just...
700
00:35:56,621 --> 00:35:57,554
It's hard to believe.
701
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,963
[Shelbi] I remember us
all sitting there,
702
00:36:06,965 --> 00:36:08,198
looking at each other.
703
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,801
Like, what do we do now?
704
00:36:11,803 --> 00:36:13,069
Like, how do we...
705
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:17,107
how do we even continue,
706
00:36:17,109 --> 00:36:18,808
you know, without her?
707
00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:22,045
I mean,
she was all of our guardian.
708
00:36:29,453 --> 00:36:32,222
[narrator] Officers continue
their pursuit of Logan.
709
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:35,425
[Jim] He's evading
law enforcement
710
00:36:35,427 --> 00:36:37,194
on a high-speed pursuit.
711
00:36:37,196 --> 00:36:39,196
He's involved in a stabbing.
712
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:41,064
He has started a place on fire.
713
00:36:41,066 --> 00:36:42,632
[police speaking]
714
00:36:44,001 --> 00:36:45,368
And he's now firing a weapon
715
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:48,939
out a window
of a moving vehicle.
716
00:36:48,941 --> 00:36:50,874
[narrator] Logan crosses
into Polk County
717
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:53,009
where Amery police
pick up the chase.
718
00:36:54,011 --> 00:36:56,246
[911 operator speaking]
719
00:36:57,915 --> 00:37:01,151
[narrator] They deploy
road spikes to slow him down.
720
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:02,686
[police speaking]
721
00:37:06,757 --> 00:37:08,525
[Jim] Attempts to stop
the vehicle
722
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:10,894
using stop sticks didn't work.
723
00:37:12,530 --> 00:37:14,030
[narrator]
Logan is on Highway 8
724
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:17,067
approaching Taylors Falls,
Minnesota.
725
00:37:17,069 --> 00:37:19,469
He's heading north
towards the Brule River
726
00:37:19,471 --> 00:37:23,106
where his father's ashes
were scattered.
727
00:37:23,108 --> 00:37:25,442
So, as it's getting closer
to the Taylors Falls area,
728
00:37:25,444 --> 00:37:26,776
I'm continuing to monitor
729
00:37:26,778 --> 00:37:28,178
where it's at
and what's going on.
730
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:31,881
[police speaking]
731
00:37:33,818 --> 00:37:35,785
[narrator] A deputy
reports that Logan's car
732
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:38,021
has crashed
into the median barrier.
733
00:37:40,124 --> 00:37:42,492
[siren wailing]
734
00:37:42,494 --> 00:37:44,394
[Grant] There was a lot
of smoke in the area,
735
00:37:44,396 --> 00:37:46,563
so it's very difficult to see
736
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:48,265
who was inside the vehicle.
737
00:37:48,267 --> 00:37:50,033
So I, kind of,
started giving commands
738
00:37:50,035 --> 00:37:52,502
for the driver
to exit the vehicle
739
00:37:52,504 --> 00:37:53,937
and to show us his hands
740
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:56,006
and to step out
on the passenger side.
741
00:37:57,575 --> 00:37:59,342
[police speaking]
742
00:38:07,685 --> 00:38:09,252
I got no response.
743
00:38:11,322 --> 00:38:13,123
If I try to approach
the vehicle,
744
00:38:13,125 --> 00:38:15,325
is he gonna try to use
that opportunity
745
00:38:15,327 --> 00:38:17,460
to either shoot myself
or one of my partners.
746
00:38:19,163 --> 00:38:21,698
I had to send out a page
to our SWAT team leader
747
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:23,266
or SWAT commander at the time,
748
00:38:23,268 --> 00:38:24,968
advising him
of the situation that we had.
749
00:38:29,273 --> 00:38:30,807
[police speaking]
750
00:38:31,776 --> 00:38:33,209
[police speaking]
751
00:38:37,548 --> 00:38:39,349
[Grant] We were able to see
that the suspect
752
00:38:39,351 --> 00:38:42,686
did self-inflicted
a gunshot wound to his head
753
00:38:42,688 --> 00:38:44,988
and that the suspect
was deceased.
754
00:38:53,064 --> 00:38:54,698
[narrator]
Deputies from the St. Croix
755
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:57,567
County Sheriff's Office
informed the Wold family
756
00:38:57,569 --> 00:38:59,769
of Logan's suicide.
757
00:38:59,771 --> 00:39:04,341
[Shelbi] When I found out
that Logan killed himself,
758
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:08,378
it was almost
like a sense of relief.
759
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:11,781
Because had he not,
760
00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:15,852
we would have been
so much angrier.
761
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:20,156
[narrator]
Investigators piece together
762
00:39:20,158 --> 00:39:23,126
the events that ended
with Charlene's murder.
763
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:28,631
[Dean] Based on some
of the interviews
764
00:39:28,633 --> 00:39:31,234
with other family members,
765
00:39:31,236 --> 00:39:34,771
Logan had a drug issue
with oxycodone.
766
00:39:36,807 --> 00:39:39,809
[suspenseful music playing]
767
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:50,720
[Jim] When he ran out,
he would go into withdrawals
768
00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:54,557
and he would seek medication
769
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:56,092
from his mom, Charlene.
770
00:39:58,028 --> 00:40:03,032
And when Mom
didn't provide that medication
771
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:06,035
to Logan, things took a turn.
772
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:13,543
Logan became upset, enraged,
773
00:40:13,545 --> 00:40:16,646
and there was assault
on Charlene.
774
00:40:18,449 --> 00:40:21,418
[suspenseful music playing]
775
00:40:28,893 --> 00:40:31,461
[narrator] The Wold family
suspect that Logan's plan
776
00:40:31,463 --> 00:40:34,297
was to end his life
in the same way his dad did,
777
00:40:34,965 --> 00:40:36,533
suicide.
778
00:40:39,136 --> 00:40:42,205
Logan retrieved weapons
and a suit from his apartment
779
00:40:42,207 --> 00:40:44,007
after he fled the Wold home.
780
00:40:45,976 --> 00:40:49,112
[McKenna] He always
told Sterling and Charlene
781
00:40:49,114 --> 00:40:51,047
that if he ever wanted to die,
782
00:40:51,049 --> 00:40:53,616
he wanted to be in one
of his dad's suits.
783
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:56,920
[Shelbi] I think he knew
784
00:40:56,922 --> 00:40:59,823
that what he had just done
785
00:40:59,825 --> 00:41:02,492
was irreversible.
786
00:41:03,327 --> 00:41:04,994
[Charlene speaking]
787
00:41:04,996 --> 00:41:07,530
[narrator] Charlene
remain devoted to her son
788
00:41:07,532 --> 00:41:09,265
despite all his troubles.
789
00:41:11,368 --> 00:41:15,004
Logan repaid that devotion
by taking his mother's life.
790
00:41:15,606 --> 00:41:16,940
[Charlene speaking]
791
00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:27,917
We remember our mom
as the most friendly,
792
00:41:28,819 --> 00:41:29,853
loving,
793
00:41:32,289 --> 00:41:34,357
just the kindest person.
794
00:41:34,359 --> 00:41:38,194
I mean, she'd go above
and beyond for anybody.
795
00:41:39,864 --> 00:41:42,732
And I mean, anybody.
[chuckles]
796
00:41:42,734 --> 00:41:44,834
Not just the people
that she loved.
797
00:41:48,572 --> 00:41:50,406
[Darrell Sr.] I was
so proud to be with her.
798
00:41:51,775 --> 00:41:53,843
She was a wonderful person.
799
00:41:59,316 --> 00:42:01,551
And I'll miss my dance with you.
800
00:42:04,054 --> 00:42:05,722
And I love her.
801
00:42:12,897 --> 00:42:15,698
We always had challenges
in our life.
802
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:17,534
We always got through it,
803
00:42:20,738 --> 00:42:22,472
made us stronger.
804
00:42:23,741 --> 00:42:26,743
[dramatic music playing]
