led him to elaborate
fabrications.

1:05:05
He claimed to be an orphan
from Australia,

1:05:07
and even checked out details
of a small town in the Australian outback

1:05:12
in order to sound convincing.
1:05:15
His accent, though,
remained suspicious.

1:05:18
It almost sounded more Kennedy-esque
than Australian.

1:05:22
After Timmy's death,
1:05:25
people said, "Well, don't you feel
betrayed that he did that?

1:05:30
That he didn't tell you the truth
about his accent or his origins?"

1:05:35
And that never bothered me.
1:05:38
Timmy always amused me.
1:05:40
There's an old saying
on the farm,

1:05:42
"If it doesn't scare the cows,
who cares?"

1:05:45
Well, I don't think
Timmy ever scared the cows,

1:05:49
so who cares?
1:05:51
He was troubled.
I mean, it...

1:05:56
One time he went to a doctor.
1:05:59
They wanted to put him on some kind
of an antidepressant or something

1:06:03
to keep his mood, 'cause his moods
were so up and down.

1:06:07
And he started taking it for a while,
and then he stopped.

1:06:11
He said, "I had to stop."
I said, "Why?"

1:06:13
He said, "Because I can't stop.
I can't have the middle grounds.

1:06:18
I have to have the highs
and the lows.

1:06:20
It's a part of my life,
it's a part of my personality."

1:06:23
He definitely had a dark side.
1:06:25
He was mixed up in drugs which makes you
mixed up in bad people, people with guns.

1:06:30
Timothy always had a sense of justice
that was his own.

1:06:35
So he got into a lot,
a lot of trouble.

1:06:39
I think that...
1:06:41
How dangerous?
1:06:43
How dangerous? I mean...
1:06:47
I don't think he would've ever...
He couldn't have ever killed anybody.

1:06:50
He always kept it in check. One thing
that we did every once in a while

1:06:53
which just seems so bizarre
by now, but it's...

1:06:56
We would go, when we lived in the Valley,
to the Van Nuys courthouse.

1:06:59
We would watch when criminals
were being sentenced.
