Dad says that's -- cartel.

Killed David and I he was murdered in Mexico and they've never admitted to that in the last two years and also -- meant that -- here it's right but but also it takes it takes you out of the loop because.

And let's be honest there were people who thought that you were involved in your own husband's murder.

Correct the -- for the last two years there's been critics and this is the first time they're saying what.

Does that -- cartel did murder David Hartley and didn't -- her murder my has been -- -- -- taking me out of that and they're admitting to it so.
