this was recorded in the back of a squad car just after their arrest. sweet little girls? hardly. >> they got [ bleep ] evidence. they can't do anything with [ bleep ] evidence like this. man, get real. did they find a murder with my finger prints on it or something? i get if they said they found a murder weapon. please do that! please find a murder weapon. thank you! >> they are aggressive. they are angry. they are combative. >> these [ bleep ] rednecks, down dirty [ bleep ] cops did this [ bleep ]. >> reporter: oh, and one more thing, tucked away in one of the girl's bedrooms, police found this journal. inside, in childish handwriting, a death sentence. they were notes to each other, said the d.a., written just before the killing.
