A man high on crack cocaine breaks into the home of a woman he has been obsessed with for years. He finds her in her bedroom. He strangles her. He leaves her body on the floor. He walks to a nearby gas station, buys a pack of cigarettes, and calls a friend. He does not call 911. He does not call an ambulance. He calls a friend to brag.

The interrogation is disturbing and surreal. The suspect is still high. His speech is slurred. His thoughts are disjointed. He seems confused as to why he is being arrested. He tells the detective that he loved the victim. He says he would never hurt her. He says he does not remember killing her. The detective plays the gas station surveillance footage. The suspect watches himself buy cigarettes. He does not recognize himself. He asks if the man in the video is his twin brother.

The suspect was convicted of first-degree murder. He is serving life in prison. He still writes letters to the victim's family, apologizing for something he says he cannot remember doing. The letters go unanswered.

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the man who murdered his crush was so high that he did not know what he was doing. The jury did not care.
