Hey everybody, it's Theo Vaughn here, and I got a question. When it comes to soda, are you really picking a zero-sugar cola that you actually prefer, or are you just settling for what you've always had? That's the question. And I'll say this. When it comes to taste, I find that nothing beats Pepsi zero sugar. But you don't just have to take my word for it. That would be ridiculous.

Pepsi has been doing blind taste tests for years. No labels, no brand names, just taste. And last year, they brought back the Pepsi challenge, and the results were clear. 66% of people agreed and said that Pepsi Zero Sugar tastes better than Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. In fact, Pepsi Zero Sugar won in every market they tested. So if you're grabbing a Zero Sugar soda, go with the one people keep choosing when taste is the only thing that matters. Go out and try Pepsi Zero Sugar today. let your taste decide.

Quit. Quit. Lay down. Lay down. This is Sean Eugene Good, and he has just killed his uncle in broad daylight. How to do it? And then he went crazy and started.

I live your name. 20 minutes earlier, during breakfast, he suddenly lunged across the table and began strangling his uncle to death as his aunt watched in horror. I fixed him breakfast and everything was okay. I thought. And then he said, if they don't take you, I will.

Like he's got evil in his eyes. I don't know. The detectives still don't know if this was a calculated murder or a random act of evil. But over the next 24 hours, they begin to uncover the horrifying acts of this Christmas morning. Come on, Eric.

In the early hours of a Wednesday morning, the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office receives a frantic call from a woman claiming her nephew is choking her husband. On the line is 63-year-old Elizabeth Ann Pullen, her voice shaking as she struggles to pull her nephew away. Officers rushed to the scene, unaware that the elderly man is only moments away from death. Hey, put that down. Quit. Quit. Let's do it. The man's come on with it. The elderly male's blue in the face. Let's move them over that way they can work on them.

What's his name? His name's Sean. Sean, get up, man. Sean. You have to pick me up. You have turn over. Bend your knees. All right, now help me get you up.

We just fed him, and then he went crazy and started to believe in. This is Sean Eugene Good, caught in the act of choking his uncle Ricky to death. All Sean can say is that he had to do it, which leaves officers with an even bigger mystery to solve. Meanwhile, as officers try to bring Ricky back to life, it becomes clear it may already be too late, and that they might have a murder investigation on their hands. Rick. Ricky? He's choked him.

I pulled up, they're going to pop up choking him. I got him in my pager. Get on your bow and he said, I had to do it. As they desperately try to revive Ricky, the officer speaks. with his wife, Elizabeth. She's still in shock, watching the nephew she's helped raise being arrested while her beloved husband clings to life.

But what she's about to reveal will become crucial evidence, painting a very dark picture of the man they've just taken into custody. I don't know what happened. I mean, I don't know. Now, is that your husband? Yes.

He spent the night with us. He came out here last night when I got off work. Let him sleep on the couch in my house. I fixed him breakfast, and everything was open. Okay, I thought. I went in the fiction and kept coughing. All of a sudden, he just, the thing I know, he was hollered Liz, and I was trying to get him off of him, and he would get off.

What was he doing to him? He was choking him. Okay. He choked him until he take breath. Initially, when you come out, he's on top choking him, like in a headlock. Yes. Okay. He's hollering.

John's hollered. Give it up, give it up. Let it go. Let it go. I don't know what he was saying. I mean, I don't know what that means. And then he said, if they don't take him. Yeah, I will. So what does that mean?

As of now, no one understands what made Sean snap at his uncle on that peaceful fall morning. Sean's been living quietly there for years. Though he's known to drink excessively and doesn't go outside much, he has never shown any signs of aggression before. But this is when the sergeant arrives, and he knows exactly how to handle the situation. So he lays out a detailed plan for the team, a plan that will ensure the victim's family gets the justice they deserve. He was still choking him.

I pulled my taser out and I said to get the fuck off. And he rolled off and he started to act like he was going to get up. I said, get on the ground. Cuffed him. Something's wrong with him in. I don't know. I heard a space. He's wrong.

He's got. We need that body cam dock so we can do that as quick as we can. Well, he's acting. I don't know if y'all be talking here. No, let's go ahead and just send him back. He's laying on the seat. The sergeant orders the officers to take Sean straight to jam. On the way, Sean keeps falling down, hyperventilating, and moving his hands erratically.

But when they arrive and try to get him inside, he completely snaps. I don't know. God damn. Sean, what? Sean? Not sure what he's got going on. Hey, these guys are here to check you out, Sean. Well, do you feel like you can walk or do you want us to wait on a wheelchair?

There you go. You feeling okay now? Fine. Just breathe, man. Just breathe, okay? I can't fit through it one time, so I'm going first. Take it for me, Sean, if you would, Cleve, okay? Bring that one on my desk. Yes, sir. Keep this.

All right. Dude. What are you doing? Sean. Hey, hey. You all right? All right. All right, well, let's sit you back up and get you in this chair.

Where would you rather sit? I want you to be in the chair? Well, let's do this again. Sean is finally brought into the interrogation room, but since he's so disoriented, the detectives decide to give him some time to collect himself. Meanwhile, back at the scene, Ricky's wife receives devastating news. Despite the paramedic's best efforts, her husband has been pronounced dead. Sean's uncle was a hardworking, caring man, loved by everyone.

His favorite pastime was sitting on the porch, counting airplanes with his grandkids. He cared deeply about Sean, which makes what happened to him all the more tragic. Now, with a murder case on their hands, the stakes rise significantly. And with Sean in no condition to talk, detectives bring his aunt, Elizabeth, into the station. What she says next points to the moment when Sean seemingly lost his grip on reality. A moment that ultimately led to Ricky's brutal murder. Ricky was hitting on the table telling him to quit, and he wouldn't quit. He just kept saying,

don't get you, I will. He's real, like, agitated, you know. Right. Like, he's got evil in his eyes or something. I don't know. Since his mama died, it's like they just went, he just went crazy, you know. And what makes you say that he went crazy after that? It's just by the way he was doing.

Sean's mother died a few years ago, leaving his already fragile mental state even more unstable. This is when the detective truly begins to understand just how mentally disturbed Sean has been for years, and how the system's failures made today's tragedy feel almost inevitable. The detective ends the interview with Elizabeth there, and by now, Sean has calmed down considerably, and the detective decides it's time to question him, still holding out hope for some kind of motive. But what he learns is that sometimes evil can't be explained away. When asked why he did it, he offers one crazy explanation after another. I killed him

because I loved him. It had to be done for the safety of the universe, for the world, for the children, for the military. But this is when Sean's delusions would begin to fade, and he would finally start to grasp what he's done. Hi, Sean, how are you? How are you doing? I'm sorry for the slot. It's okay. I'm just... Sean, are there any injuries that you have that we're from Ricky finding back? No?

I'm being told that there's an injury in the right side of your head. Can you show that to me? And you're still not sure where that head injury came from? No. It could have or in the backseat of the car. Did you get your headball? I was wrestling with something. I'm not knowing what it was.

In the back seat of the car? He'll say this name. Yeah. Man, I got to ask what happened. Were you planning on killing or whatever? There's something just kind of... Just can't have it. This is the moment Sean finally realizes he's killed the man who cared most about him,

perhaps even showing his first sign of regret. Sean Eugene Good was charged with murder and aggravated assault. He ultimately pleaded guilty to killing his uncle and received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 30 years.
