I think it said negative on seeing him right now.
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:03
It did.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:03
But she, she wants to do what with this?
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:05
She doesn't want him in the house.
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:06
Okay.
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:06
He's not supposed to be in the house.
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:07
Just that sunroom?
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:08
Does she wanna press charges or, I mean...
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:10
I, I missed that part, Griffy, sorry. I just heard her say that she couldn't see him anymore.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:14
Okay.
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:14
The only thing I heard, she couldn't see him anymore and she just wants him out.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:17
All right. Stay with me.
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:17
Watch, don't have my body camera on.
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:18
I gotcha.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:18
Make yourself known now. If not, I'll release the dog, and when he finds you, he'll bite you. Sure. I don't... That verbiage of he's not supposed to be here.
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:28
Right.
Speaker 1· Soundbite0:29
Yeah, it just sounds like- But it doesn't, doesn't that say- An old pastor of hers, like, that's what the notes say.

Speaker 0· Soundbite0:35

Speaker 2· Soundbite0:38
Okay. It's a weird thing to... He's a pastor?
Speaker 0· Soundbite0:43
Yeah. An old pastor.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:44
Why would he be in her house?
Marie Columna· Guest0:47
When I first met him, my impression was he was very charismatic, very nice, friendly, happy. Like, always happy.
Speaker 4· Soundbite1:00
He was always trying to weasel his way into her life under the ruse of good intentions. It was very, very wolf in sheep's clothing.
Marie Columna· Guest1:11
After he assaulted me, I said, "I swear I will call the police the next time I even see you on my property." He never showed up to my house again that I knew of.
Speaker 5· Soundbite1:23
It's terrifying. A man caught on security tape breaking into a home.
