In court, he described what happened the day Virginia and the boys disappeared.
They had met him just as planned.
Gerald took them to a spot near an irrigation canal.
The boys wanted to shoot.
Virginia took the rifle out of the car and Gerald tested it and then he turned it on her.
He shot Virginia in the back of the head.
He shot Richard near the station wagon in the back of the head and Reagan saw what was happening and ran, but he fell into a ditch.
Gerald walked over and shot him too in the back of the head.
The rifle he used was the same family rifle Virginia had brought him when they very first met.
We ended up accidentally dragging the buoy with the grappler off site.
So we had to pull both the buoy up and the grappler to put some extra springs in it.
